What if....

“AH-HAHAHAHA……….wait a second…”

Twilight watched as Discord moved his head around and couldn’t help but smile. Apparently neither could her friends, for they were also smiling. Rainbow Dash, however, took it to the next level.

“Bwah-hahaha!”

Twilight watched as Rainbow fell to the ground and kept laughing.

“Oh, keep laughing my little ponies, but when I get out of this the real fun is going to start.”

Discord snapped his claw, but nothing happened.

“What?” He glanced at his claw and noticed that it was glowing a bright yellow.

“Ah, Celestia, do you honestly think that you can hold me down forever?”

Princess Celestia flew down, landed, and then smiled.

“No, but I don’t have to, Twilight, here are the Elements of Harmony!”

Twilight watched as a box levitated down. She took it in her magical grasp and opened it. She peered in and smiled.

“No…” Discord suddenly said.

Twilight levitated the five necklaces to their rightful owner, and then placed the headdress on her own head. Twilight then smiled.

“No!” Discord shouted before he was consumed in magical light.

“There, like it never happened.”

Rainbow Dash was right, for Discord remained in the same pose that he was in when they blasted him with the elements the first time.

“But what about Charlie?” Twilight turned around and noticed Pinkie Pie was staring at her with a sad look on her face.

“I never got to throw him a welcome to Ponyville party.”

“There there Pinkie Pie, there is another way.” Twilight turned around again and noticed Princess Celestia walking up to them with a smile on her face.

“Well, what is it princess?” Twilight asked.

“Time to see if the Elements accept him.”

They all looked back at Charlie, who was kneeling next to Discord and smiled.
