4 days have passed since the Sisterhooves Social, and Twilight was as bored as all can be. She was currently doing a logic puzzles book while she was at it.

Just then, Solaris came into the room and got Twilight's attention. "Hey Twilight, Derpy gave me this letter and told me to give it to you. I thought you might want to see it." he said. Just then, she grasped the letter out of Solaris' claws with her magic and brought it over to herself. She unrolled the letter and read it aloud.

"Dear Princess Twilight,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to ask you to come up to Canterlot for a few days. There are some things I want to talk to you about. You will be part of a meeting with the elite and I think it would be an amazing oppurtunity to show you some things about being a princess. I also think it would be best if you were to go alone."

Yours Truly, Princess Celestia.

Twilight's eyes lit up with excitement as she read the letter. "A meeting with the elite in Canterlot! This is such an incredible opportunity!"

Solaris smiled at her enthusiasm. "It sounds like an important experience, Twilight. You should definitely go."

Twilight nodded, already thinking about what she needed to pack. "I'll have to make sure everything here in Ponyville is taken care of while I'm gone."

"Don't worry, Twilight," Solaris reassured her. "I'll help keep things running smoothly here. You focus on your trip."

Twilight smiled gratefully. "Thank you, Solaris."

Solaris helped Twilight pack her things that were needed for the week in Canterlot and then led her to the train station. On the way, her friends saw what was happening and decided to see her off at the station too.

"Oh Twilight darling, a meeting with the Elite, is something I always dreamed about. You are absolutely lucky." Rarity fawned.

"Yes well, Princess Celestia wanted me to go there for a week. She said it would be an amazing opportunity for me." Twilight replied. Just then, the train for Canterlot arrived in Ponyville. After everypony on the train got off, Twilight got on the train and found a seat. When the train started moving again, they all waved as the train got farther and farther away.

A few hours after Twilight left Ponyville, Solaris went on a walk around Ponyville, mostly because he wanted to, but to also check the defenses against King Naeus' monsters. He walked up to a nearby tree and inspected it. Everything here was fine, until he heard a voice he thought he would never hear again.

"My my, an orange Spike. Never thought I would see the day."

Solaris' heart stopped at the voice. He turned around and saw a tall figure. There was a creature that had a griffon claw, a lion paw, legs that were lizard and goat, and same for the horns. It was Discord, the draconequues of Ponyville, and Solaris' friend.

"D-Discord? Everypony was right." Solaris started smiling from ear to ear. "You really are back."

"In the flesh." Discord said before spawning is a Spike plushie and putting it next to Solaris. "But seriously, you look exactly like Spike." he continued.

Solaris was a bit confused at this. "Discord, It's me, Solaris. You know, one of your best friends?"

Discord then turned into a puppet. "Really, well I don't know any Solaris characters."

Solaris' confusion deepened. "Discord, it's me. We've known each other for centuries. Remember the time we played pranks on Celestia and Luna?"

Discord snapped his fingers, transforming back into his usual form, though his expression remained skeptical. "I don't know, Solaris. Maybe you have me confused with some other draconequus."

Just then, they heard another voice. "Ah great, you're here."

Solaris and Discord turned around and saw Rainbow Dash, looking at them a little irritated.

Discord teleported over to her and put an arm around her. "Oh, hello Rainbow Dash. It is absolutely great to sssee you again." he said while hissing and becoming a snake.

Rainbow's frown didn't falter. Solaris on the other claw, chuckled a little bit. "That is still pretty funny to this day."

Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes but couldn't suppress a small smile. "Yeah, yeah, hilarious. But seriously, Discord, you causing any trouble while I'm out training?"

Discord turned back to his usual form, feigning innocence, with a halo and angel wings. "Trouble? Me? Perish the thought, Rainbow Dash. I'm just here to catch up with a creature I just met."

"Discord, we used to be great friends. Why are you forgetting that? Is your memory a little foggy?" Solaris asked.

"Oh my dear fellow, my memory is juts fine. Have a look." He said while taking his head off his neck and reaching for his brain. He collected the brain and showed a memory, where he was causing chaos to Equestria before he got turned to stone.

Solaris was shocked at this. "You... You genuinely don't even know who I am, don't you?"

"Nope." Discord answered, "But 'orange' you glad that I'm back in this town?" he asked before snapping his claws and making it rain oranges. At that, Solaris couldn't help but laugh, even with that shocking revelation.

"Oh, Discord," he chuckled, shaking his head as an orange bounced off his snout. "Some things never change."

Even they heard Rainbow Dash snicker a little. "I get it, 'orange' you glad? That was a good one"

Discord smiled. "Well, I can be even more," he turned into a snake again. "Hysssterical."

That made Rainbow Dash laugh more. "Sneaky Snake." she said before going back to laughing.

Even though Solaris was a little sad that one of his best friends doesn't know him, he can still laugh with Rainbow and Discord. Discord then got out of his snake skin. "Well, I just, 'snake' around."

Then Solaris got an idea. "Hey, this could be like an inside joke. One for the 3 of us."

That got Rainbow and Discord thinking. "Well, that would actually be a great idea."

"Yeah," Rainbow said. "Now come on, wanna see the rest of our friends?"

"Yes, let's go." Solaris happily said before leaving the trees and out into the town.

"Ugh, this is boring." Discord said. "Let me teleport us to a good friend." he snapped his claws and in a bright light arrived at the Carousel Boutique. Before they could go in, Discord was gone.

"Ooh, Fluttershy. I'm back from the spectacle." Solaris and Rainbow Dash turned to their left, there Discord was hugging Fluttershy.

Solaris whispered into Rainbow Dash's ear, "Hey Cyan, I think that Discord has taken a liking to Fluttershy."

"Well, she gave him a chance to reform. I don't even know why she allowed him to reform, we should have blasted him back into stone."

"Hey" Solaris said. "Discord is a great friend. He really is."

Discord came back with Fluttershy and smiled. "Oh this is just great. I get to be with my good friends." he replied while he turned into a circle. "It's good to be 'around'."

That earned him a laugh from the 3 creatures. "Oh Discord. You are a riot." Rainbow Dash laughed. Just then, Rarity came out of the building because of the commotion at her door.

"Now what exactly is..." she stopped when she saw Discord spinning around like a wheel. That made her chuckle too.

"Oh, Discord, you never fail to bring some chaos wherever you go," Rarity said, shaking her head with a smile.

Discord came to a stop and stood up, brushing himself off. "Well, my dear Rarity, it's all in good fun. Besides, who wouldn't want to bring a little bit of chaos into their day?"

"True," Rarity admitted with a laugh. "But do try to keep it to a minimum in my boutique. I have some delicate fabrics that don't take well to... unexpected surprises."

Then Discord got a shocked look. "Are you saying that... You don't want your fabrics to be alive?" he asked before he snapped his claws. All of them heard singing in the boutique.

"My little pony, My little pony, MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" the singing stopped with a goat scream before the singing abruptly stopped.

Everyone laughed hard at the goat scream. "Oh Discord." Rainbow Dash laughed. "That was one of the funniest things you could have done."

"Yeah, that was awesome." Solaris said.

As the laughter settled, Rarity gave a playful huff. "Well, Discord, you certainly have a knack for turning any situation into a spectacle. But remember, we do have standards here."

Discord put on an exaggerated pout. "Oh, Rarity, you wound me! I promise, no more fabric-fueled chaos. For now, at least."

Fluttershy gently touched Discord's shoulder. "I appreciate you keeping things light-hearted, Discord. It’s always nice to have a laugh."

Discord's eyes softened as he looked at Fluttershy. "Oh, Fluttershy, you’re too kind. It’s always a pleasure to be in your company."

"Well, I must continue training. See you around guys." Rainbow said before flying off into the air.

"Well, I must continue making clothes. See you around Discord." Rarity said before going back inside to make more dresses.

Solaris, Discord and Fluttershy continued walking around Ponyville. "Hey, how about we go to Sweet Apple Acres. I'm sure Applejack would be quite happy to see me." Discord suggested while confetti flew out of him.

Solaris and Fluttershy nodded in approval and continued that way.

As Solaris, Discord, and Fluttershy made their way to Sweet Apple Acres, the countryside scenery of Ponyville provided a calming backdrop. The vibrant colors of the apple orchards and the earthy smell of fresh produce filled the air, making for a pleasant walk.

When they arrived at the farm, they saw Applejack working diligently on the harvest. Her orange coat gleamed under the sun, and she was focused on picking apples with impressive speed.

"Hey there, Applejack!" Solaris called out as they approached.

Applejack looked up and saw Solaris, followed by Discord and Fluttershy. Her face lit up with a warm smile. "Well, if it ain't Solaris and Fluttershy. It's good to see you around." She then glared at Discord. "And what do you think you're doing here?"

Discord, ever the mischief-maker, gave a dramatic bow. "Why, hello there, Applejack. I thought I’d pay a visit and spread a little bit of my unique brand of charm."

Applejack raised an eyebrow, not amused. "You and your charm, Discord. What kind of trouble are you planning now?"

"Oh come on. Why do people always keep expecting trouble from me? I'm just wandering around?" Discord said.

Solaris sighed. "Well, you can be quite a prankster."

Discord sighed after Solaris said this. "You're quite right Solaris."

"Anyway, would anyone like some peanut butter?" Solaris asked as he snapped his claws and spawned 2 jars of peanut butter.

Discord took the peanut butter and put it on the ground. "I love peanut butter, and I can even open it with my hooves." he tried to open it with his hooves but he miscalculated his math and his foot broke through the peanut butter lid and his hoof fell straight in.

This made Applejack, Solaris and Fluttershy laugh. "I guess you can say Discord has the 'peanut butter' hoof." Applejack laughed. This got Discord an idea, and without warning, he started tap dancing all around the orchard with his 'peanut butter' hooves. This made them laugh even harder.

"Woo-wee Discord. You are a great tap dancer." Applejack said while laughing.

"Well, thank you Applejack." Discord thanked her and was about to do something chaotic, but then his horns started blinking.

"Uh, Discord, what's happening with your horn?" Fluttershy asked.

Discord looked up at his horns and saw that they were blinking. "Oh, it must be time for an afternoon nap. Well then, I must go."

"Well, goodbye Discord, see you soon." Fluttershy said. Discord was about to snap his claws and teleport home, but then he felt a weight on his body. He looked down and saw that Solaris was hugging him.

"Um, what are you doing?" Discord asked.

"I just thought you might want a hug." Solaris answered.

Discord couldn't put his claw on it, but he felt like he was hugged like this before. "Not even Fluttershy hugged me like this before." and before he could say anything else, his eyes started to glow brightly. Solaris stopped hugging him and stepped back from him. His eyes continued glowing before a light gold magical aura came out of him. After the aura got out of Discord, it disappeared into nothing. His eyes stopped glowing and looked at Solaris.

"No, no it can't be." Discord said in a small genuine voice. "Solaris?

"Yes, it’s me," Solaris replied, looking both hopeful and apprehensive. "Does this mean you remember me now?"

Just then, Discord hugged him without warning, smiling the most genuine smile Applejack and Fluttershy had ever seen. "Oh Solaris. You're back, you're really back."

Solaris hugged him back and said. "Yes Discord. I'm back. Listen, I'm really sorry for--" he stopped when Discord put a claw to his mouth.

"Solaris, don't be sorry, you couldn't have done anything." Discord reassured him.

While they were having that heart to heart, Applejack and Fluttershy watched on, a little confused. "This is the same thing that happened with Luna a few nights ago." Applejack caught on. "Solaris reassures them about something, then their eyes glow before a light gold aura comes out of them, and after it disappears, they remember him like they are his best friends."

Fluttershy nodded. "Yeah definitely. Something is going on here."

After another few seconds, Discord releases Solaris and places him on the ground. "Well, now that we got that out of the way, toodaloo." he said before teleporting to his chaotic dimension house.

"Well Solaris. Would you like to come inside to get lunch?" Applejack asked.

Solaris nodded. "Definitely. I am getting hungry." So Applejack, Fluttershy and Solaris went into the barn to have a special apple related lunch.

Author's Note

So Discord has the same thing happen to him as it did to Luna. Hmm.

Also, I'm gonna be honest. I don't really think this was one of my proudest chapters. But it is still important to the story.
