Chapter Three: Party Crashers

All right, it's finally here guys! Thank you so much for your your support and know that I wouldn't be able to write this story without you! That's all I have to say, so sit back and enjoy the read!

Too...much...cake...

You're sitting at the table in Pinkie Pie's room, with Twilight sitting to your left and Rarity to your right. Rainbow, AJ, and Fluttershy are all sitting across from you doing the same thing, but Pinkie is still dancing and singing along to yet another song. Zecora had already gone home.

"Perhaps that cake-eating contest was a bad idea," Rarity moans, resting her head on the wooden table while the others mumble their agreement.

"Come on, ponies! The party isn't over yet, and so let's dance while we can!" Pinkie dances like a pro, although looking at her, you wouldn't think it to be so.

"So, Twilight, you used to be a unicorn?" You ask Twilight curiosly, still resting at the table with the other girls.

"Yes, I was actually born an ordinary unicorn, but as I got older, I found that I had great talent in magic and enrolled in a school for gifted unicorns, where I met and trained under Princess Celestia. After many years, I moved here to Ponyvile to learn about friendship, and when I recently mastered friendship, Celestia gave me my wings..." She gives her wings a tiny flap wthout moving her body. "...and I became a princess."

"So...anyone can become a princess? Even someone, I mean, somepony, like me?"

Twilight considers this for a moment, and then nods. "Yes, any of you girls could, bu you would have to master an art such as friendship or love, and to master it, you must not only fully understand it, but experience it."

"Huh." You ponder this for a second, only to be feel a pang of hurt shoot though your stomach. You moan again and rest your head on the table like Rarity. "Anything else interesting for me to learn about? Any...enemies?"

"Well..." Rainbow Dash says as she looks over at Discord, who is chatting at a table with Spike. "I might know someone with an interesting past." She seems almost hostile as she speaks.

"What are you talking about?" You ask.

"[Y/N], if you must know, Discord actually used to be one of our worst enemies," Rarity answers for Rainbow.

You suddenly burst out laughing, but then stop as the girls continue staring at you with solemn faces. "Come on, girls, are you serious? This is Discord we're talking about. He loves pranks and chocolate milk rain. What's so evil about that?"

They all exchange glances, and then Twilight speaks. "With our help, he has learned to tone down his antics and is no longer a threat. However, not too long ago, Discord was not merely a mischief maker, but a lord of chaos. He took over the throne thousands of yeas ago which made life miserable for ponies. Celestia stopped him by turning him to stone, but much, much later, during our lives, he escaped. When we tried to stop him, he made us forget our friendship and turn into the opposite of our true selves, which, let me tell you, wasn't pretty." Twilight pauses, grief-struck for a moment. "Eventually, we were reminded of our friendship and were able to encase him in stone again."

You look at her, puzzled. "Then why is he here now and not a statue anymore?"

"Well, this is where it gets interesting. Princess Celestia brought Discord here a few months ago so that we could reform him. She wanted to use his magic for good, so we reluctantly agreed. She said that she believed Fluttershy would know best how to reform him, and she did. She befriended him, which caused him to see the benefits of friendship. After being reformed, he moved to Canterlot for about a month to help the Princesses with their magic and other things. But, after he finished, he came back here and is roomates with Fluttershy now, since nopony else trusts him enough yet to share a house with him. He said that the city life wasn't for him, but I think he just missed Fluttershy."
