I stepped onto the chariot. Truth be told, these things had always made me nervous. Just as I was about to sit down, Discord puffed into existence underneath me. "HEY WATCH IT BUDDY!" I stumbled onto my face.

"Not cool" I muttered through the wooden floor of the chariot.

"Oops sorry. I wanted to show you something!" He conjured what appeared to be a big black screen in front of everypony present.

"Discord what is th-" began Celestia.

"SHHH just watch."

"I WOULDN'T SAY THAT! There's also Zebrica and griffonia!" Shouted Twilight in annoyance.

"Ooops, I'll change that later."

"Ok, Let's just leave before this gets any more... unusual..." announced Celestia

"I'M COMING" Discord screamed.

"No you're not." I replied

"But who would help you with all of those pranks?"

"Fair enough."

After a brief argument with Celestia about whether Discord could come, we were on our way...Discord laying on a 'candy-cloud' chained to the chariot...

"So Princess, how's it feel to suddenly just be royalty?" I asked

"Just call me Twilight, and it's pretty weird actually...." Twilight replied.

"I'm sure..."

"I mean, I just get wings one day and suddenly everypony wants my advice on EVERYTHING. It's not just weird, it's downright annoying!" She ranted.

"It may get irritating beyond belief, but you'll get used to it." I replied wisely...somehow...

"But what if I don't and it just drives me insane?!" She wondered nervously.

"Then you will have to find an outlet, which I'm sure someone as bright as you will be able to find." She blushed...'Did I just say that?' I wondered to myself.

"t-thanks..."

"Hmmmm I did just say that.....DISCORD?!"

"Yesssss?" He asked appearing on the seat beside me.

"What just happened?"

"Why you subconsciously flirted with The young, beautiful Twilight Sparkle!" Which elicited a groan from me, an eye roll from Twilight and a few giggles from the guards pulling the chariot. "what?"

"I'm just going to go on my own now..." Murmured The purple alicorn.

"Good idea!" I agreed. I jumped out of the chariot whilst Twilight spread her wings.

I laughed energetically as I fell. I lit my horn up, intended to use a low power teleportation spell! But I couldn't Seem to draw the magic to pull it off. My laugh turned to a scream as I contemplated what I would look like as a pancake. I watched in terror as the green foliage of White Tail woods got closer and closer! Suddenly, the wind in my lungs was pushed out by an unknown force! Than I realized that instead of seeing my apparent place of demise, I was staring into a purple mane....with pink highlights......oh...

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!" She screamed!

"T-teleportation?"

"By JUMPING OUT OF AN AIRBORNE CHARIOT?"

"Yes." I muttered bluntly.

"And you didn't know that the magic reserves in this area are still almost non-existent from the fight between Discord and the Princesses all those years ago?"

"No, No I did not." I muttered. "Did you know that you make a great pillow?" I asked, trying to change the subject.

"Yeah, whatever."

"I would like to take this time to tell you that from this day forward I will think of you as best princess!" I announced. "If you save my Tartaurus ridden flank again you will be my hero. So yeah, I at this moment would like to rescind what I just said as I have realised just how that sounds! If I ever say anything like that again don't be afraid to cause me severe bodily harm."

"You. Are. An imbecile." She muttered.

"Why thank you... I don't feel so good..."

We touched down just outside the town hall.

"U-u-unicorns, were n-not mean't....to f-fly!" I announced before rolling off Twilight's extremely comfortable back and promptly Galloping to the nearest bush and releasing the contents of my stomach.

"Are you alright?" Asked Twilight as all the ponies in the vicinity stared in amazement at what they had just watched transpire. I nodded. "Why were you okay on the chariot?"

"M-magic..." I muttered, trying to get the taste of bile out of my mouth.

"Oh" She Murmured.

"C-can we like get to the library before something else happens to ruin my day?" I asked irritably.

"Yes but it was all your fault that your day was nearly ruined you know." She retorted.

"After you, miss Sparkle!" I said motioning my hoof in a random direction.

An earth pony approached us about halfway to our destination. "Princess Sparkle?" She asked. We stopped.

"Yes?" Replied the alicorn

"I hate to ask but will you help me with something?" Asked the pony.

"Well-" I cut her off!

"I'm sorry but the princess is feeling a little under the weather. But I'd be willing to help." I said winking in Twilight's direction.

I smiled at the prospect of having helped the purple alicorn as the earth pony escorted me to a tree...With a cat clutching one of the branches. "How cliche'd." I commented as I lowered the animal onto the pony's magic with my magic.

"T-thank you!" She said.

"No problem." I smiled wider.

"Silly do-gooder...." Laughed the queen as she watched the prince's antics. "General, send a small group of our most powerful drones into Ponyville. Just have them keep an eye on this prince...for now!"

"Yessssss your hignesssss" Replied a shadowy drone from within the shadows.
