Ren’s POV

Today we were all in a large field cause Twilight got a message from Celeste saying she was coming to Ponyville today. “I love it when Princess Celestia comes to Ponyville! I got my hooves shined just like Rarity for the occasion. Ya like?”

“I certainly do!” Rarity said.

“I'm surprised she's not here yet.” Twilight added.

Spike sighed, “I wonder what's taking so long?”

“And where are Sarah, Applejack and Fluttershy?” Twilight asked.

”Fluttershy's detained helping Applejack with a mishap at Sweet Apple Acres. They'll be along.” Rarity answered.

“And where’s Sarah?” I asked.

“Hmmm… I don’t know where she went. Probably with Applejack and Fluttershy.” Rarity added.

”But, I still don't get why the Princess would be so late.” Spike added.

“She's bringing an important visitor. That could be part of it.” Twilight said.

“What important visitor?” I asked.

“A slow and important visitor.”

Maybe it's somepony so terribly important, she still had many more terribly important things to do before she got here.”

Spike and Carrie then gasped. “Maybe the visitor has a deer antler, a goat leg, a bat wing, and a snake tail!” Carrie said nervously,

“But that’s Discord.” I said.

“Why in the wide, wide world of Equestria would Princess Celestia bring along someone like that? After what happened the last time.”

“M-m-maybe you should ask... her!” Spike said. We all turned and Celestia’s chariot landing with the statue of Discord with it!

“HUH?!” We all said. Okay.... definitely was not expecting this...



Twilight approached Celestia. “With all due respect, Princess Celestia, how could you bring Discord here?!” and then she cleared her throat, “Your majesty.”

“I'm fully aware that the last time Discord was here, he created serious havoc.” Celestia said.

“That’s an understatement. He kidnapped Carrie and Kodi!” I exclaimed.

“And he tricked us all into being the opposite of our true selves.” Rarity added.

“Hold the phone, he kidnapped the tiny brat and the little mutt last time?!” Jack exclaimed in shock.

“Yeah, you weren’t here yet along with Jamie, Rantaro, Nicole and Skye.” I said to him.

“Yes, I understand. But I have a use for Discord's magic if it can be reformed to serve good instead of evil. This is why I've brought Discord here, because I believe that you are the ponies who can help him do just that. And I heard about this Sarah Gem character and I’d like to meet her myself.” Celestia explained.

“This will never work! This is a disaster! How will we ever control him?! We're doomed!” Spike exclaimed.

“Need I remind you that you are the ponies who turned him back into stone like this in the first place?” Celestia said.

“Wait What?!” Jack said in shock.

“How’d these maggots do that?” Skye asked.

“By using the Elements of Harmony.” I answered.

“I suppose we can just use the Elements of Harmony against him again if it gets out of hand.” Twilight said.

“Uh, w-w-we probably need a volunteer to run away from here right away to get them. I'll do it!” Spike said but before he could run off, “No need, Spike. I have them right here, and I've cast a spell so Discord can't take them and hide them again” she opened the chest and showed us the six Elements of Harmony.

“Woah…” Jamie and the others went, having seen them for the first time.

"So these are the legendary Elements of Harmony?" Jamie asked, looking at them.

"They don't seem like much.." Skye stated bluntly.

"Oh trust me, they pack a serious punch when the girls use them against evil." I smirked.

“Now where are Fluttershy and this Sarah Gem I’ve heard? I believe Fluttershy may know best how to begin reforming Discord.” Celeste stated. Flutters? Reforming Discord? How can they do that? Not that I doubt them, but Discord is well... chaotic and Flutters is so.... what's the word... calm.

“You heard about Sarah?” I asked surprised.

“Why yes. Twilight has sent me a letter describing her and I’d like to meet her.” Celestia replied with a calm smile.

“But Fluttershy? Reform Discord? Really?” Rainbow asked unconvinced. Celestia nodded and Rainbow zipped off and soon came back with Fluttershy, Applejack and Sarah Gem. “Hello everypony.” she greeted.

Flutters and Applejack bowed while Sarah said, “Hello.” Celeste then went over to Flutters, “Fluttershy, I want you to reform Discord for me. I realize that this is a tall order, but I wouldn't ask if I weren't confident you could get him to use magic obediently of his own free will.”

“And... you really think I'll know best how to do that?” Fluttershy asked.

“ I do.” Celestia smiled. Fluttershy nodded and then Celestia looked at Sarah.

“Ah, you must be the famous Sarah Gem, Twilight wrote to me about.” Celestia said.

“Yes Princess.” Sarah stated. “And I see you brought Discord back to be reformed, hmm. If it’s not too much to ask for. Maybe I can reform Discord for you… alone?”

“SAY WHAT?!” Everyone exclaimed.

“Yes, I want to reform Discord, please Princess?” Sarah asked with a calm expression on her face.

“Hmm… being that Twilight wrote about your magic skills and your previous actions, I don't have a problem with that.” Celestia said. Sarah nodded and Celestia returned to her chariot, “Now, I must return to Canterlot for Equestria's royal summit. You may release Discord when ready.” Celestia said and then her guards flew her and her chariot back to Canterlot.

When she was gone, the group and I spoke with Sarah. “Sarah, have you lost your mind?!” I exclaimed. “You can’t reform him!”

“Yeah, he’s crazy powerful.” Carrie added.

“So am I.” Sarah said. “Do not worry, it’ll be alright.”

“Okay, girls, guess it's time to get started. Let's just hope this releasing spell works.” Twilight said.

“Or let’s not.” Spike stated.

“We'd best keep our elements on at all times 'till further notice.” Twilight said as she levitated the Elements of Harmony and placed them on their respective bearers necks.

“Check.” Everyone said. Then the girls activated their Elements of Harmony and they floated up into the air and the elements sent out a rainbow beam that circled Discord, freeing him from his stone prison. “Oh! Ooh! Ooooh! Well, it's about time somepony got me out of that prison block. What a relief!” he said. Then he snapped his fingers and turned a small squirrel into a medium sized beast. We all gasped.

“What the hell?!” Jack exclaimed in shock.

“What do you think you're doing?!” Twilight exclaimed.

“Nnnnnnnnngh– Why, stretching, of course. When you're a creature of chaos, stone bodysuits aren't your typical go-to fashion choice. Nenagh... “ Discord said, snapping his fingers again and turned a bunny into a beast. Pinkie gasped.

The girls gasped, “Make that bunny cute again! Now!” Twilight demanded.

“You know what else is adorable? You ponies truly believe that you can reform me, and that you're putting your faith in this one here to make it happen. Makes me wanna pinch your little horsey cheeks…” Discord said.

“Stop playing around, Discord! Turn the bunny and squirrel back to normal!” Kaede growled.

“No need, Kaede.” Sarah said and she activated her Amulet and blasted the bunny and squirrel, changing them back to normal.

“How'd you do that?!” Twilight asked. “My magic didn’t work on his magic?!”

“Like I said, my magic is unique.” Sarah smirked.

“And how did you know we planned to reform you, Discord?” I asked him.

“Being turned to stone doesn't keep me from hearing every word Celestia says. Although I admit it makes rolling my eyes a challenge.” Discord said.

“Well, unless you want us to turn you back to stone, you'll behave!” Twilight said.

“Yeah for face our wrath you maggot!” Skye growled having her helicopter nearby.

“Oh, you wouldn't dare turn me back to stone and risk disappointing your precious princess.” Discord mocked.

“Try us, "Dip-cord"!” Rainbow challenged with her hoof raised.

Discord then looked at us and went, “Ooh, why if it isn’t, Ren Loodan and all of the nine cretins I mentioned before.”

“That’s right you maggot! So don’t try anything!” Skye threatened, having her copter nearby.

“Yeah, we heard what you did to the brats earlier and I won’t let that happen again, especially now that the bodyguard brat is gone.” Jack growled.

“Oh you mean Mason Hunter? The one who recently joined the Royal Guard Academy?” Discord guessed with a smirk.

“How do you know about that?!” Pinkie exclaimed.

“I may have been turned to stone but that doesn’t mean I can’t hear and see things that are going on around me.” Discord stated, getting close to Pinkie. Then he teleported over to Carrie, who squeaked in fear, “Well, well, now that your brother is off training, I guess you’re all alone, huh?” he smirked.

Oh no, you don't Discord. You are so not harming Carrie!

“Hey, stay away from the tiny brat!” Jack growled, coming between Discord and Carrie, “She’s under my protection while the bodyguard brat is away.”

“Aww… isn't that sweet?” Discord mocked, making Jack growl at him. Sighing, Sarah came over and levitated Carrie and Jack away from Discord, “Discord, leave them alone.”

“Who me? Now why would I ever-?” Discord then looked closely at Sarah. Oh boy that can’t be good. “Ooh? Now what do we have here?” he floated over and looked at Sarah. Sarah blinked once before looking at him. “Ah, if it isn’t Sarah Gem, my old friend.” Discord said, putting an arm around her.

“Old..” I said.

“Friend?” Jack asked. So…. Sarah knows Discord somehow?

“What do you mean by that?” Jamie asked.

“Yeah, last time you never mention Sarah.” I stated feelings suspicious.

“Easy, me and her are acquaintances that’s all.” Discord stated. WHAT?!

“Say what now?!” Kaede exclaimed.

“How do you know about Private Gem, you maggot?” Skye asked. Nicole hmmed while Rantaro narrowed his eyes a little “Let’s just say I have something to do with her creation, that’s all.” Discord said, putting an arm around her nonchalantly. Something to do with her creation? But she was made by the Connelly Foundation....right? There’s no way Discord could be apart of that, right?

“And I doubt that either of you has a chance at reforming me except for Sarah.” Discord added.

“If it turns out we need to use our elements against you, I'm sure we can convince Princess Celestia it was for a good reason!” Twilight said.

“Now, now, everyone calm down.” Sarah said. “We don’t need to resort to the Elements instantly.” then she turned to Discord. “Discord, you can stay with me in my room, while I work on reforming you.” Hood the phone! Say what?!

Discord chuckled, “Oooh, I see you’re still as generous as always, my friend. Hahaha.”

“Uh.. can we borrow Sarah for a moment.” Twilight said and then yanked her away with her magic. “Are you crazy, Sarah?! We’re not having him in the home-ship!” I exclaimed.

“Yeah. I am not having that freak in our home!” Jack added. “Especially with the tiny brat around.”

“He’s scary.” Carrie whimpered, holding Kaede. “Easy Carrie, we won’t let him get you again.” I reassured.

“Yeah, I’ll protect you, Carrie.” Kodi said nuzzling her. "I'm bigger now, remember?" Carrie nodded at Koadiak.

“We don’t know what he can do.” Kaede stated with a look of worry on her face. “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

“Who knows what he’ll do to the home-ship and us!” Jamie exclaimed in fear.

“Well if he’s going to stay here, he needs hospitality and I’m offering him my room for the time being.” Sarah said.

“But he’ll just change it into something crazy with a snap of his fingers.” I said. “He can change reality. Like he always does.”

“If he does, I’ll just change them back. You saw how I did with the bunny and rabbit, right?” Sarah pointed out with a calm look on her face.

“She’s got a point, you guys.” Spike said.

“But Sarah, Discord is very powerful, what if hurts you?” I said with concern.

“He won’t hurt me.” Sarah smiled. Why does Sarah have so much trust in Discord? Did we not tell her what happened the last time he was here? “I have Snowflake with me and you saw how she is with magic.” Hmm… I guess she has a point. Snowflake did absorb Void's magic. “Plus, I’ll have you guys nearby if I need any assistance. It’ll be fine.” Sarah reassured me.

“And um..” Flutters? We saw Fluttershy coming up to us. “I wanna help too, Sarah. If that’s okay.”

“Sure Fluttershy, you can help.” Sarah said.

Now I was worried, “Flutters, are you sure?” I asked her. I didn’t want her to get hurt. I am her boyfriend afterall.

Fluttershy smiled at me, “It’ll be okay, Ren. I’ll be with Sarah. She’ll keep me safe and sound.” I gave Fluttershy and small smile and nodded.


Later...

Soon we were all back at the home-ship in Sarah’s room. Discord had poofed himself up a couch and was now laying on it. Sarah gave him a pillow to rest his head on, “Oh, yes. Thank you, Fluttershy and Sarah Gem, for your concern. If only your pony friends could be considerate…”

“Don't listen to him, Fluttershy! He's just trying to drive a wedge between us like he always does.” Rainbow said.

“Now why in the world would I ever try to do a thing like that?” Discord said innocently. Oh please, that innocent act again? Really? Didn't he learn anything from the last time?

“So they can’t use the Elements of Harmony against you, that’s why.” Carrie growled.

“I never thought of that…” Discord said.

“Liar!” Carrie said.

“We’ll be outside.” Rainbow said, not wanting anything to do with Discord. Rainbow and the others headed to the living room while Twilight and I stayed with Sarah and Flutters for a little bit longer, “You sure you're okay with this?” Twilight asked.

“Yes Twilight. I know what to do already.” Sarah said.

“How?” I asked.

“By befriending him of course. Earning his trust will be the first key to befriending him. Letting him be my room guest and treating him with kindness is the best way to do that.” Sarah explained.

“And you’re sure that will work?” I asked, unconvinced.

“I’m positive.” Sarah said.

“Me too.” Fluttershy added.

“Alright, but if anything goes wrong, just whisper ‘help’ and we’ll be back here with our Elements.” Twilight said before addressing Discord, “So watch that goat-legged step of yours, pal!”

“Yeah, harm Newbie, you’re dead meat, punk!” Jack added, waving his fist and then we left and joined the others in the living room.

“She's really alright with him staying there?” Applejack asked.

“That’s what she said.” Twilight said.

“Personally, I think we should come up with a backup plan, in case this whole "befriending" business doesn't work out.” Rainbow grumbled.

“Rainbow Dash is right. This is Discord we are talking about, girls. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have another trick up our sleeves.” Rarity said.

“And I know just the trick.” Twilight said.

“What I can’t understand is how Discord knows about Sarah in the first place.” I wondered.

“Discord said he was part of her creation.. Whatever that means.” Rainbow said.

“I know. Sarah was created by the people at the Connelly Foundation, there's no way Discord could have anything to do with that, right? And if he knows Sarah then he might know about Void, we’ll have to wait and see.” Kaede added. Yeah... wait and see...


Third Person POV

Meanwhile, Sarah was keeping a watch on Discord. Snowflake had came into the room and roared in shock at Discord being there. “Ah, I see you still have your ‘tiger’ friend.” Discord said.

“Yes. I do.” Sarah said. “Are you comfortable, Discord?”.

“Well, of course I am. It just goes to show how understanding you both truly are. You know, I think Princess Celestia is right when she singled youtwo out as the ones who could reform me. You both are off to such a good start, I'm seriously considering actually being reformed.” Discord said. “Now, Fluttershy would you be ever so kind as to get me some water?”

“Oh, of course Discord.” Fluttershy said as she went to get Discord a glass of water, leaving Discord and Sarah alone.

Discord looked at Sarah, “... So… I see you’re okay, Sarah.” Discord said.

“Yeah… my friends made sure I was safe, especially from Void.”

“I’m glad you’re alright. Being that you’re kinda like me in a way.”

“Yeah… we are alike.” Sarah smiled at Discord and music started to play and the two broke into song.

(Sarah)

How are we so different and still so much the same?

(Discord)

Why do I start smilin' when I hear your name?

(Sarah)

At times I think you could be a reflection of me

(Discord)

Still, there's something deeper

(Both)

More than what we see

There's a feelin' of belongin'

That's deep down inside

A friendship that's been growin'

Now we just can't hide

It's a feelin’ somehow knowin' there's nothing to decide

'Cause when I'm with you it's clear

We're of the same past

(Discord)

(Sarah)

Like it's been forever, but every day is new

(Discord)

I’m proud of what you’ve become

(Sarah)

My friends helped me get here

(Discord)[/i]

Shame to think it ends soon

(Sarah)

Or you can join the fun?

(Both)

There's a feelin' of belongin'

That's deep down inside

A friendship that's been growin'

Now we just can't hide

It's a feelin' somehow knowin' there's nothing to decide

'Cause when I'm with you it's clear

(Discord)

(Discord)

'Cause when I'm with you it's clear

(Sarah)

'Cause when I'm with you it's clear

(Sarah and Discord)

We’re of the same past

Discord and Sarah smiled at each other and hugged each other. But what they didn’t notice was Ren, Twilight and the others were looking through the window and saw the whole thing!


Ren’s POV

Okay…. Tell me I didn’t just see what I think I just saw.

“Did anypony else see that? Or was it just me?" Applejack stammered.

"No... we all saw that..." Twilight confirmed. Discord and Sarah were actually singing?!” Rainbow exclaimed in shock.

“Oh, that’s so sweet.” Flutters cooed.

“And from the sound of the melody, it sounded like a love song.” Kaede stated.

“Love?! Newbie and the creep? No way, now how!” Jack growled, crossing his arms with a huff.

“Yeah, I agree with fatty. There’s no way we can let Sarah fall for Discord!” Rainbow said, “Come on.” she was about to fly off when Twilight grabbed her tail in her magic. “Hey!”

“Rainbow, you can’t ruin their relationship.” Twilight scoffed, letting Rainbow's tail go.

“Why not?” Rainbow asked with an upset expression.

“It’s obvious that Sarah and Discord share a friendship with each other. Maybe Sarah can use her friendship with Discord to reform him?” Twilight suggested.

"Do you think that will actually work?" Jack questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"I believe it." GAH! What the-? Nicole! Rantaro! "Where the hell did you two come from?!" Jack exclaimed, looking at the two.

"You didn't think we noticed you guys and that thing coming to the home-ship?" Rantaro asked us. We all sweat dropped at that. Of course they would have seen it.

"Anyway, I actually believe Sarah's friendship is the key to get through to this.. Discord character.." Nicole said, adjusting her glasses.

"And how do you know..?" Rainbow asked her suspiciously.

"Easy, I got a look at Sarah's eye as she looked at Discord. I saw a large amount of love and care in her eyes, meaning that she does care alot about Discord and I could see the same thing with Discord's eyes. So that means they both care about each other very much and there for, their friendship with each other is second to none." Nicole explained.

"You got all that from there's eyes, darling?" Rarity asked, earning a nod from Nicole.

"She a psychologist, remember..?" Rantaro deadpanned.

“And how do you know he won’t pull a fast one?” Applejack asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Girls, from the sound of the song, they do care about each other very much.” Flutters said to us. “Maybe we should go with Twilight’s plan.”

“Yeah, we need to trust Private Gem with this, you maggots.” Skye added. I sighed, "Alright, we'll go with Twilight's plan then." Then, Sarah came out of the home-ship, "Oh hey guys.."

"Hey Sarah, what are you doing out here?" I asked her, confused.

"Discord put together a little dinner party for you guys in my room. Come on..." Sarah said before she headed back inside.

"A Dinner party?" I asked everyone. Why would Discord put together a dinner party.

"Well... I guess we should go inside..." Twilight said, uncertainly. The rest of us looked at each other and shrugged and we entered the home-ship and went to Sarah's room, where we found it decorated like a small restaurant with one large table with... singing candles... okay... don't see that everyday.

We saw Discord, wearing a tuxedo and a small mustache on his face too. "Ah, here are the guests." he said with a smirk. We all looked at each other and we sat down at the table. "Okay Discord, what are you trying to pull with this 'dinner party'?" Rainbow asked him.

"Oh what? Can't a guy put together a simple party for his guests?" Discord said innocently.

"And how do we know this isn't another one of your traps?" Kaede questioned him with a raised eyebrow.

“Now let's not jump to any conclusions.” Sarah said.

“Sarah! Can't you see what he's doing? He's playing innocent with you so you'll never agree to use your Amulet against him!” Rainbow said.

“Oh, well, that's a bit harsh, isn't it?” Discord said, batting his eyes. I mentally rolled my eyes at him. Seriously

“You see what I'm saying, right, Sarah?” Rainbow called.

“You know what I see? I see that Discord's far from perfect, but I also see none of you giving him a chance!” Sarah defended. The rest of us complained.

“What's gotten into you?! Why do you keep cutting him so much slack?” Rainbow asked annoyed.

“Because I'm giving him another chance and I suggest you all do the same.” Sarah said.

“But you don’t know what he did the last time he was here, Sarah, so you don’t know if he can be trusted or not.” Rainbow pointed out. “You remember what happened when you tried the same thing with that shadow creature.” Sarah winced a little at that memory but Rainbow pushed forward, “He can’t be trusted.”

Sarah shook it off and replied, “Well I’m giving him a second chance like everybody deserves.”

“Newbie, based on what Skittles said, you don’t know the scars he left here the last time.” Jack said.

“We all have our scars Jack.” Sarah showed us her chest underneath her Amulet of Hope… where there was healed scar in the shape of an X. Woah… when did she get that? That's one serious scar. "Where'd you get that scar from...?" Kaede asked in shock seeing the healed scar.

"I got it during one my battles with Void in the past." Sarah explained. "It left me with a physical scar and a mental one, which was why I always training and wanted to prepare myself for when he would show himself again, so that no one else would become scarred like me.."

We all looked at each other, feeling a little pity for Sarah. To be left with a scar like that? No wonder she was so serious, upset and training all the time before.

“Why are you so determined to give him another chance, Sarah?” Rantaro asked with narrowed eyes.

“Si si ni Sawa.” Sarah said.

“WHAT?!” Everyone exclaimed.

“Si si ni Sawa.” Sarah explained.

“What the hell does that mean?!” Jack exclaimed.

“It is Swahilli for 'we’re the same'?” Jamie asked. Sarah knows Sawhilli? I think I heard that from the Lion Guard, a Disney show. Awesome show by the way, being in the same timeline as the Lion King.

“It’s something my papas always said to me. They kept reminding me of that when I wasn’t sure if would ever fit into society since I was an artificial child.” Sarah explained. “They said ‘When you look past what’s on the outside and look at what’s on the inside, there you will see everyone's the same’.”

“So you’re saying Discord and us are the same? No I don’t think so.” I stated and music started to play and broke out into song.

(Me)

He thinks that life is one big game

He jokes, he laughs, he takes no blame

I'm telling you, there's just no way that we're the same

(Sarah)

You've got to look past what you see

Try not to judge so easily

Believe it or not, he’s a lot like me

Say believe it or not, he’s a lot like me!

Sisi ni sawa means we're the same

(Me)

I hear what you're saying, but you need to explain!

(Sarah)

At the end of the day, it's like water and rain

Sisi ni sawa, we are the same!

Maybe he laughs, maybe I purr

But take a look under the fur

Deep in our heart is what matters for sure

'Cause all both know a higher call

Like every creature big and small

Our jouruney back home should be what's guiding us all

The journey back home will guide us all!

Sisi ni sawa means we're the same!

(Discord)

Though I’ve got my claws, and you have a mane!

(Sarah)

At the end of the day, it's like water and rain

Sisi ni sawa, we are the same!

(All)

Sisi ni sawa, we are the same!

(Me)

Never thought that we'd see eye-to-eye

(Sarah)

I can't imagine why

It's very easy if you try!

(Me)

Still, to me, they're brand new thoughts

Not to judge a creature by their past!

(Sarah)

Sisi ni sawa!

Sisi ni sawa means we're the same!

(Me)

Forget about the past

When there's nothing to gain

(All)

At the end of the day, it's like water and rain

Sisi ni sawa, we are the same!

Sisi ni sawa means we're the same

Forget about the past when there's nothing to gain

At the end of the day, it's like water and rain

Sisi ni sawa, we are the same!

Sisi ni sawa, we are the same!

(Sarah)

Sisi ni sawa, we are the same!

The song ended and the girls looked at each other, “Hmm… I guess you do have a point, Sarah.” Twilight said.

Rainbow Dash huffed, “Well, I still don’t trust him.” Rainbow stated.

“Rainbow, would Sarah have any reason to lie?” Nicole asked the Rainbow pegasus.

“Well… uh… no..” Rainbow stammered.

“Then you should trust her judgement.” Nicole said.

“I know trusting someone based on their previous actions is difficult but when you look, not with your eyes but with your heart, you will see you have more in common with them then you previously through. Afterall… we are one…” Sarah then walked outside and we followed her as music started playing.

(Sarah)

As you go through life you'll see

There is so much that we

Don't understand

And the only thing we know

Is things don't always go

The way we planned

She came upon a small hill where we saw a baby deer and its mother. The baby was trying to stand with it’s mothers support.

What you'll see everyday

That we'll never turn away

When it seems all your dreams come undone

The baby finally stood and began to run alongside its mother.

We will stand by your side

Filled with hope and filled with pride

We are more than we are

We are one

We came to a small lake and the gang and I looked in the lake at our reflections.

(Me)

If there's so much I must be

Can't I still just be me

The way I am?Can I trust in my own heart

Or am I

just one part

Of some big plan?

Sarah stood ontop of a branch looking over Ponyville.

(Sarah)

Even those who are gone

Are with us as we go on

Your journey has only begun

Tears of pain, tears of joy

One thing nothing can destroy

Is our pride deep inside

We are one

We all followed as she ran through Ponyville with Snowflake alongside her.

We are one you and I

We are like the earth and sky

One family under the sun

All the wisdom to lead

All the courage that you need

You will find when you see

We are one

We all looked at each other confused and Sarah came over, “As long as you live here. Its who you are.. You’ll understand someday.”

“We are one… hmm..” I said to myself.

Then Angel bunny came bouncing towards us and waved his arms frantically. “Angel, what’s wrong?” Fluttershy asked. Angel went over and chattered. “Flooding at Sweet Apple Acres?”

“Flooding?!” Applejack exclaimed before dashing away. “Hey wait!” Mason called and he raced after Applejack and the rest of us followed to Sweet Apple Acres. HOLY CRAP! The entire orchard was flooded and we saw the cause. Some beavers build a dam that blocked the river and their eyes were… black. That’s not normal. “What happened here?!” Twilight exclaimed.

“I bet I know.” Rainbow growled, looking at Discord.

“Don’t look at me.” Discord said, pointing at himself.

“Well you're the only one who could have made the beavers do this. Do we look dumb to you?” Twilight growled.

“Twilight.. Stop jumping to conclusions.” Sarah scolded her.

“Sarah! Can’t you see he’s responsible for this?” Ranbow asked.

“No, because he’s not.” Sarah said.

“How do you know?” Rantaro asked, narrowing his eyes.

“First of all, when Discord possessed an animal, their eyes turned red, not black.” Sarah explained. “Second of all, he hasn’t done any magic since he came into my room, except for putting together the Tea Party.”

“Well then who else could have done this…?” I wondered.

“Who gives a crap about who did! We need to fix this now!” Jack exclaimed.

“And how do you suppose we do that exactly?” Rainbow asked sarcastically.

“I can deal with this.” Sarah said.

“How Newbie?” Jack asked.

“With my Roar of Harmony.”

“Your roar can end a flood? Yeah right.” Rainbow scoffed.

Suddenly, some clouds began to roll in and light began to shine thought them. “What’s that?” Carrie wondered and then Astral Twilight appeared in the sky!

“The Hell?!” Jack exclaimed in shock.

“What in the Arnold is that?!” Skye added.

“Holy crap baskets!” I added.

“The Tree of Harmony?!” Kaede exclaimed.

“Mentor..!" Sarah called with a smile.

“Yes Sarah, I’ve seen you’ve used the Roar for noble deeds. And you plan to use it again, right?” Astral Twilight smiled.

“Yes.” Sarah nodded.

“Wait, wait, wait. The Roar can actually help with the flood?” Applejack asked Astral Twilight.

“Yes. The Roar can control more than you realize.” Astral Twilight said. “I will explain.” Music began playing in the background and Astral Twilight broke into song

Sarah stands on the edge of earth and sky

You can command much more, if she tries

Just watch her and you’ll find even more

Sarah lit her horn in a red aura of fire and she readied herself as clouds rolled in behind her.

As you learn the power of the Roar

Sarah unleashed her magic and used the Roar at the same time and aimed it at the water. Combined with the fire, the water was actually vaporized and turned into steam!

“Woah!” I cried.

“Awesome!” Jack added.

The power of the Roar

The power of the Roar

It dwells inside you

And all around you

In ways you've never seen before

The power of the Roar

The power of the Roar

Once you think you've found it all

You'll find there's still much more

Free yourself from anger and from fear

The control that you seek will be clear

Sarah readied herself and she used the Roar once more and made a large twister and it sucked up the water in the flood.

Oh, the Roar goes far beyond wind and sound

It can impact everything all around

The twister sprayed the water out of the top and into a cloud in the sky.

The power of the Roar

The power of the Roar

It dwells inside you

And all around you

In ways you've never seen before

The power of the Roar

The power of the Roar

With the water gone the rowboat the Apples was in was falling but Sarah galloping over and used the roar making a pillar in the ground and caught the boat in her hooves and she leaped down onto the ground and placed the boat on the ground.

Once you think you've found it all

You'll find there's still much more

The power of the Roar

“Incredible.” I gasped at the power of the Roar. Sarah had cleared all of the water with the Roar. “Well I’ll be.” Applejack gasped. Now I know! That's from the Lion Guard! How on Earth could have something from a tv show?! Well... she does have Pikachu, so I guess that's kinda theoretical, but still!

“Well done my student.” Astral Twilight said.

“Thank you.” Sarah said. Astral Twilight nodded and she vanished into the clouds.

“Now what about the beavers?” Fluttershy asked.

“I got it.” Sarah used her Amulet and made the beavers’ eyes return to normal. The beavers chattered and went on their way. "Now I believe you own someone an aplogy..?" Sarah questioned, looking at Rainbow.

Rainbow sighed, "Fine... sorry for accusing you Discord.."

"Oh its no problem, Rainbow Dash." Discord said, putting his arm around her, but she got out from it, "We're not there yet, buddy.."

"Fine, if you wanna play it that way.." Discord grumbled and we all chuckled.


Soon, we were back in Ponyville with Celestia and Discord bowed to her, “Yes, Princess, I'm ready to use my magic for good instead of evil.” then he muttered under his breath, “Most of the time.”

Celestia addressed us, Congratulations on your success, ponies. I definitely sense a big change in Discord.” Then she leaned over to Twilight, “I'll leave the Elements of Harmony with you, Twilight. Just in case.”

“You were right when you said Sarah would be the one to find a way to reform Discord. By treating Discord as a friend and with kindness, she got him to realize that friendship was actually important to him, especially with Sarah since she was his long time friend.” Twilight said.

“Go on Discord… say it.” Sarah teased.

“Oh fine.. Friendship is Magic.” he said quickly.

Fluttershy giggled, “See, he’s a real sweetheart once you get to know him.”

But the rest of us just turned away.. Awkward. Well.. at least Discords on our side now.


Meanwhile, overlooking the group from high above was Void. "Hmph... so my sister has finally turned my ex-partner to the good side huh? Well, prepare yourself, you sunshine pest. He won't be on your side for long, I'll see to that. Hahaha..." Void laughed before he vanished into the shadows.
