Swallowing nervously, Sunset said, "So he is free..."
Ladyhawke exclaimed, "But that doesn't make sense! If he's loose, why isn't he turning Equestria upside down as we speak?"
"That's kinda already happened," I mentioned, remembering the sun and moon outside. If Discord's goal in life was to plunge Equestria into chaos, then congratulations, mission complete, a winner is you.
"And that is exactly the problem," Discord said, appearing right next to me again, this time in a bathrobe and sipping from his coffee cup again. Or maybe he had always been there, and simply had turned invisible until now. With a being of Discord's power, there was no telling what he might do at any given time...
Still, my surprise hadn't dulled my wits any. While the others gawked, startled by Discord's sudden return, I stated, "You're not out there, doing anything, because in an Equestria like the one we have today, hardly anyone would notice anything amiss."
The master of chaos nodded, then pulled out a fork, grabbed a waffle, and started chewing on it, taking a moment to enjoy them. "Precisely. I need someplace peaceful, orderly... harmonious, if I want to have any sort of fun. A master of my caliber can hardly be expected to work with something like this: It would be like asking an artist to paint on a soiled canvas."
Sunset, surprised, asked, "So... you actually want Equestria to return back to normal?" She shook her head, and said, "I don't believe it. The fiends are doing exactly what you've always wanted to do..."
She was silenced when Discord snapped his fingers, causing a zipper to appear on her mouth and sealing it tight. "Don't lump me with those... posers," Discord stated, suddenly wearing what I could only call a hipster's outfit, complete with glasses, "I was into chaos long before it went mainstream. Any fool with enough power can cause random destruction. I've never had to stoop to such... uncouth methods."
