Author's Note

I am horribly sorry for how overdo this update was everyone, some stuff happened that I personally don't want to get into, but it led to me being unable to update this story for some time.

Also I am horrible with accents which is why I didn't do a southern accent for AJ or the rest of her family and don't plan to sorry

also I am splitting this into two parts cause of how over do this is and I want to just let everyone know that no, this story isn't dead, just a lot has happened and has made me put this on the back burner.

Chapter 4: Order of Affairs Part 1.

3rd POV (It shall vary on focus later on)

Twilight heads to Sugar Cube corner where her friends were waiting for her, having sent a letter ahead of time to them. She honestly was a bit nervous, after all how would they react to everything? As she steps into the shop she can see her friends gathered at their usual table, chatting to themselves about their day. Twilight stops for a second, takes a deep breath and walks forward.

Suddenly a very familiar pink pony appears right in Twilights face making the bookworm leap back and fall on her ass, as said pink party pony shouts " TWILIGHT! WHATS GOING ON! WHY ARE YOU SO WORRIED LOOKING!"

Apple Jack speaks up from her place at the groups usual table, a dust cloud of the party pony to her left, "Pinkie pie calm down, Twi just got her from a long trip."

Pinkie Pie backs off giving Twilight a chance to collect herself, somehow managing to return to her spot without any sign she had left. Twilight takes a deep breath and sits in her usual spot and says "I'm glad you girls could make it, cause the Princesses need our help but it has to remain a secret."

The main 6 agree and Twilight quietly explains as much as she can, the fortress behind the moon, the ships, Thunder, everything. The girls are understandably skeptical at first but quickly come around, Twilight then says "Anyways girls, that's why the princesses made a deal with Thunder and the plan is he will take us to key locations with evidence of other alien activity and act as our guard as we gather all the information we can."

Rarity nods her head and says "Well I will have to call Fancy Pants and tell him his latest delivery is going to be late.'

Rainbow "Yea going to talk to Spitfire and see if i can't take some time off for this, which isn't so bad all we had planned for this month was training anyways."

With that, the group splits up to get all their affairs in order and pack up for the coming trip.

3rd Pov (Fluttershy focus)

Fluttershy, after returning home, makes sure to feed the animals and arranges for Dr. Fauna to take in the sick and injured animals till she comes back, as well as to have her parents to come by and check on Angel at least once a week. After all of that she begins to start packing up her saddle bags when a certain Lord of Chaos appears behind her and says "Oh Fluttershy!'

"EEP!" said shy peguses jumps a bit in fear and turns to look at Discord, taking a sigh of relief and says "Oh it's just you Discord, you scared me."

Discord sweeps his pony friend up into a hug and says "Oh Fluttershy I am so sorry for scaring you, but I was just stopping by to ask if we are still on for tea next week."

Fluttershy gives a sheepish smile and says "About that, we are going to have to reschedule, the Princess hasa mission for us and it's going to take sometime."

Discord frowns and whispers "Does this mission involve at all a certain by the name of Thunder?"

Fluttershy frowns at this and says "Actually yes, Discord were you eavesdropping on us?"

Discord laughs and says as he sets Fluttershy down "Oh my no no no, I was eavesdropping on Twilight during that interesting meeting though admittedly i kept zoning out so i didn't get all the details....but if you are going on this mission Fluttershy I want you to have this."

Discord removes of his horns and it turns into a small, golden bell with a oak handle, on the handle and bell itself were several odd symbols that seemed to change every few seconds. Fluttershy takes ahold of it and says "Thank you Discord but may i ask what does it do?"

Discord smiles and says "If your ever in a spot of trouble Flutters just give it a ring and I will come and help however I can, but their are some places it doesn't work like rooms that have lead lining the walls and such of the like."

Fluttershy smiles and puts it in her things she then flies up giving the Lord of Chaos a kiss on the cheek and says "Thanks, its quite sweet for you to worry." Discord blushes like a little schoold boy who just got his first kiss.

Discord, after a moment of composing himself helps Fluttershy pack, but once they are done he says "Promise me Fluttershy you will be careful....I won't claim to know everything about these creatures....but I can sense how powerful they are and they withhold the power to crush anyone that crosses them and unlike me they aren't bound the one world."

Fluttershy "Don't worry Discord we will do this quickly and make them our friends.....wait your bound to this world then what about your chaos dimension?"

Discord "Oh yes, me and several god like entities on this planet are bound it just like the Tree of Harmony, and my Chaos realm is technically just a pocket dimension that's connected to this world, so technical still on the planet."

Fluttershy takes a moment to process this information before going to the train station to meet up with her friends, before leaving though she gives Discord a hug and another kiss on the cheek, leaving the flustered Draconequess behind afterwards.

3rd Pov (Applejack focus)

Applejack heads home to her families farm, trying to come up with a believable excuse for her family, but no matter what she came up with it always seemed to come down to a lie or felt like one to her at least. 'You know what? Buck it I will just explain to them that the Princess gave us a mission and it will take a lot of time to complete, I am certain they will understand.' As Aj completed this thought she opened the front door to her families farm house. As she does she is greeted by the sight of a empty house safe for Granny Smith asleep in her rocking chair. Surprised by this Aj figures she should get a head start on packing, she had at least figured she would bump into Big Mac 'Eh he is probably out in the orchards or on a date with Cheerilee.' the farm pony reasoned in her mind. As she reaches the top step she notices Applebloom wasn't in her room, 'eh she probably is just out playing with her friends or is in school.' with that final thought the farm pony begins packing the essentials for her trip, then heads downstairs to the living to leave a note.

Just then she hears a voice behind her "Where do you think your going?"

Aj turns around and says a bit surprised "Granny!"
