Chrysalis paced back and forth as she muttered to herself. "That…. Stupid… Shining Armor…" She let out a huff. "I can't believe he… he'd say that." She stopped and looked out into the other room where the stallions were. "Though… I have to admit. He wasn't a bad kisser." She shrugged. "Not great… but not too bad." She watched as he turned to a flash of light.

Shining Armor blinked in shock as Discord appeared in front of him. "What are you doing here?"

"Just picking up our little friend here for a little game." He replied with a smile. Turning to Ray and sighed. "Though this may make things more interesting."

"And what game are you planning this time?"

"Oh… just doing a favor for some friends. And having a little fun at the same time." He explained snapping his claws. In a flash Ray vanished. "Would you and the misses like to join me in watching the show?"

Shining let out a sigh. "Probably should. If anything else, I can keep an eye on you."

"Splendid. I'll get the other contestants while you and the others get comfortable with snacks." With a second snap, Shining Armor vanished.

After a few moments Chrysalis came out glaring at him. "Really? You expect me to believe that you're doing this for some friends?" She huffed. "What are you really planning?"

"Oh don't worry. He'll have plenty of love for you to eat up when he returns." Discord proclaimed.

"That's not what I asked and you know it." She snapped.

"I'm doing just as I said. It's not my fault you won't accept friendship. Or that you're denying the feelings you have."

"Watch it freak. I might not be able to hurt you. But I can still mess up your happy little life."

"Noted. Well. I have a show to get to." With that Discord vanished.

"We are in so much trouble if his little game backfires." She huffed.

Back in Ponyville

Discord appeared in the middle of town and looked around as he rubbed his chin. "Let's see… we still need four guys. And the girls… but who should we have." As he stroked his chin a sign caught his attention. Moving closer he saw it was pointing at a stack of papers.

Smiling Discord took the papers and poofed the sign away. "That Pinkie is a mare after my heart." He laughed. "Too bad that heart is called for." After a quick scan of the papers he smiled. "Well now. That made my job easy.

On a cliff outside Ponyville

Rainbow Dash sat with a sigh as she looked toward town. Her three Wonderbolt teammates sat a few feet behind her, talking about ways to help move things along and get their friend laid.

"You girls can stop any time now. I told you that I'm not talking about it." Rainbow called back as she rolled her eyes. "Just be happy I said it and drop it."

"You really expect us to walk away knowing some stallion finally captured your heart?" Spitfire challenged. "Get real, Crash. I want to know the details."

"It's just some stupid crush ok? Drop it." She sat there quietly for a moment as her ear twitched. She didn't need to see to know they were hovering still. With a groan she sprang to her feet and turned. "Fine! You want the truth! I like…" a bright flash of light cut her off leaving the three Wonderbolts slack jawed.

"COME ON!!!!" They protested in unison.

Meanwhile

Twilight and Fluttershy noticed a flash of light as Discord appeared. "What are you up to?" Twilight asked.

"Just getting you and your friends the dates you desperately need." Discord replied before snapping his claws and cutting off any protest Twilight had. Once she was gone he turned to Fluttershy. "Speaking of dates. Would you like to join me and watch the happy couple bloom?"

"Oh… my…"

Crystal Empire (outside the throne room)

Shining Armor sat blinking in confusion as to what was going on. "Sense when were the bad guys so…. Nice again?" He asked a shocked and equally confused guard who shrugged. "Yea… me either…" Letting out a sigh he started for the throne room. "Better warn my wife."

Crystal Empire

A white stallion walked up to the throne and bowed. "Your majesty. I come with important news."

"And what would that be?" Cadence asked as she looked over some papers. "Please make it quick. I have a lot of papers to go over before the end of the day."

"Then primit me the honor of aiding you with that." He said, clapping his hoofs. "From page 276 to 379 are all nobles wanting some outlandish favor that you will turn down for the umpteenth time. Pages 380 to 500 are all forms that got sent to you by accident. And at this moment, you're realizing I'm right and Flash is wisped away by Discord."

Cadence blinked and looked around. "You have my attention now."

Author's Note

I decided to show Discord getting a couple of the more obvious contestants for our games. And a bit more teasing at Chrysalis's paranoia. Oh and I may actually add a sex scene with one of the couples. And maybe a kid in the future.
