The Mystery at Ponyville Theatre

Bright Night was freaking out.  Someone had broken into Ponyville Theatre.

“They took everything.”

Just then Pinkie Pie and Twilight walked in.

“Hi Brighty” Pinkie Pie said.

“Hello Bright Night.” Twilight said.

“Hello everypony”  He replied.  He had a look of sadness on his face and both Pinkie and Twilight could see that.

“Come on.  Turn the frown upside down” Pinkie said

“What’s wrong” Twilight asked.

“Uh, Pinkie.  I think you mean villainous”  Twilight corrected her.

“No I don’t”

“OK, Pinkie.”  Twilight sighed, “Don’t worry Bright Night We’ll help you figure this out.”

“Ooh!  I’m gonna need my detective hat, my detective magnifying glass, and most importantly... (drum roll please).  My detective Mustache!  I’ll be back in a flash.” Pinkie ran out and returned fully costumed in two seconds flat.

“Ok, I’m ready” she said.

“great.  Let’s go.” Twilight said.

The three of them walked into Ponyville Theatre.

“Wow!  This place is a mess.” Twilight said.

“This place reminds me of somepony.  Hmm.  Ooh! I know!” Pinkie stated.

She stopped and looked around.

“Pinkie.” Bright Night called.  She Did not respond.  “PINKIE!”

“OH! Yes?” she asked.

“Who does this remind you of?”

“Discord. Duh.”

Suddenly Discord appeared.

“Really.  One look at a place and you suddenly assume it was me.  How rude!  You know what happens when you assume?  You make an ass out of u and me”

just then a donkey appeared.

“Well I’ll say.”

Then he disappeared.

“Well for once you are wrong.  I did not do all this.  I... may have helped a little.  But... I was not the one that did this.”  Said Discord.

“Well who did?” Bright Night asked with frustration.

“oh, just a little dragon I know.”

“SPIKE?!” The three of them asked in unison.

“Ahw.  How did you guess?  And so easily too.”

“fix it”  Bright Night.

“Oh, I can’t.”

“Why?”

“because I didn’t do it.”

“You're kidding.”

“Nope.”

He disappeared.  The three of them ran to the library.

“Why did you trash the theatre?!” Bright Night yelled to Spike.

“I- I- I didn’t.” He replied

“Discord said you did.”

“You guys are seriously trusting Discord?”

“I did say I helped him.” Discords voice rang out but he was nowhere to be found, “Geez, Give me some credit!”

        Suddenly out of nowhere Discord appeared out of nowhere.  “Maybe I took control when he was asleep.”

        “Discord!” Exclaimed Bright Night.  His face showed pure anger.

        “Ah, lighten up Brighty.  Can’t you take a joke.  Ugh.”  Discord snapped his fingers, “There.  Everything is back where it belongs” he said.  Then under his breath he whispered “except for your head”  When Bright Night heard this he snapped.

        “What did you say?”  His mane and tail had turned to fire.  His fur matching his mane in color.  “I asked, What did you say?!”

        “Except your head.”  Discord was whimpering in fear.  He realized that an angry Bright Night was far worse than being trapped in stone by the Elements of Harmony.  When he looked over at Twilight and Pinkie, he could see the fear on their faces to.  “I’m sorry.” he said.

        Just like that, Bright Night returned to normal.

        “It’s OK.  I forgive you.”  He smiled.  Discord then vanished.  The other ponies looked at him in amazement of what they just saw.

        “I wanna do that!” Exclaimed Pinkie Pie.

.        “Remind me not to make you angry.”  The all laughed.
