The summit had come to a close; The Global Economic Conclave that is. It had started on Friday, went through the weekend and ended tonight on Monday.

Celestia and Luna had mostly productive discussions with some global leaders and executives of certain global businesses. Luna had headed home early, which had left Celestia as the only other Canterlotonian still remaining at the summit.

Equestria's Prime Minister had already had his bout at the summit and headed home.

Both had been filled in on the World Martial Arts Proposal in Canterlot City. And though both seemed interested, there was also a discussion about taxpayer money and the overall costs. Which by estimation was around 200-300 million dollars.

But other than finances for a potential tournament and some other interesting projects, Celestia had her mind set on something else.

Someone else...

September 29th, 2014
(Global Economy Conclave)

She never saw Discord again, heck she didn't even know his name.

One minute, he's trying to flatter her, the next he catches her from falling and then disappears. There was no sign of him at all at any of the meetings she went to. Then again, some of these meetings were with a select few people. So it was possible he was just invited to mingle.

It was the night she was supposed to leave. A lot of the world leaders and such were bidding each other farewell or coming in to get a bite to eat before probably flying back home in their fancy private jets.

Celestia included.

She didn't see him around mingling with anyone. Celestia had just gotten done talking to some close friends of her who had attended the summit, but she didn't find any sign of Discord.

She wasn't even questioning why she was looking for him, or why he had suddenly become so interesting. She just had this urge to be looking for him.

She didn't have a drink in her hand this time around, quite frankly she'd like to return home sober. She hadn't had a hangover since her twenties, she's really been trying to be careful about drinking.

But every now and then she does go a little overboard, just a little.

Even by now, a lot of people had cleared out and there weren't as many attendees as a couple of nights prior. So there was a possibility that Discord had already left. Or, maybe he was in the same place they met.

The balcony.

So, that's where she went next. And just to her luck, he was there. Sitting on the baluster as always with a drink in his hand. Greeting the Equestrian Royal.

"Queen Celestia, so nice to see you again."

Celestia couldn't help. She couldn't help but smirk, folding her arms and leaning against a wall, "Well, I never did get to thank you, or get to know your name."

"Oh, you don't have to thank me. I'm sure you would've done the same for me," He replied, "And I guess I haven't properly introduced myself, I am Discord. Please to meet you."

"Discord, who?"

"Discord, Discord," Discord replied, "Uh...my parents were a little out of it when putting my name on the birth certificate. But honestly, I like my name."

That was an interesting name, she didn't know anyone who had the same first and last name. But she wasn't one to judge anyway, "Well, nice to meet you, Mr. Discord," She smiled, "So, what exactly do you do that got you invited to this summit?"

"Oh, I'm just an up-and-coming CEO with a rising business," He said smugly, "I don't like to toot my own horn or anything but I'm close to being a multi-millionaire."

"Well, what's the business called?"

Discord could hide his mana aura, so manipulating her to believe some random made-up company name was easier than 1,2,3.

She couldn't see it, but he summoned a green ball of gas and pretended to stretch, "Oh...you know," He then smirked, 'Well, I'd rather keep it a secret, to be honest. We're still kind of small, but we're growing. You'd respect that..." He then through the invisible ball of hypnosis gas at her, without her realizing, "Wouldn't you?"

...

"...Yes, of course..."

Discord was a lot quicker at hypnosis than Capper was. Though he had taught him, he wasn't on the same skill level as he was. I.e, when Discord used hypnosis, it was quick and instant, with no lightheadedness afterwards.

"I've always wanted to go to Canterlot City as a young man. But I never had the funds to do so."

"Oh, well you should come one day," Celestia always liked to hear about someone who wanted to come to Canterlot, feeling quite proud of her hometown, "It's really nice there, friendly people and there's plenty to do."

"I might just do that...maybe this week," He generated another hypnosis smoke ball, throwing it at her quickly, "Maybe you could show me around...Friday's a good day for me."

...

"...I'd be happy too," Celestia replied.

"Splendid, I'll see you then," He got back onto the ground and walked off, "But I have to get going now, I'll see you then."

Celestia wasn't dazed, despite the fact she had just been manipulated twice. Unlike with Harshwhinny and Sugarbelle when they had been hypnotized by Capper.

Lodestar High
First day of the Campaign Trail
and before we go any further. Let me stress the fact that I do not care about Politics :D. So this might be a little scrappy for me to write, but hey I'll try.

The ballot box had been designated to the 10 nominees:

-Astro Borealis (12th Grade)
-Amethyst Star (10th Grade)
-Gizmo Poindexter (12th Grade)
-Lavender Lace (11th Grade)
-Twilight Sparkle (10th Grade)
-Sunset Shimmer (10th Grade)
-Soarin' Skies' (10th Grade)
-Indigo Wreath (12th Grade)
-Teddy Blitz (12th Grade)
-Fleet Foot (12th Grade)

And for the 1-week campaign trail, the school had been decorated with banners of each candidate. Typical "vote for me" posters, albeit they had their own slogans, one-liners and reasons to vote for them.

Voting wasn't until the night of the election debate. So this was their only shot to make themselves look convincing.

Campaign Promises, all that the usual...

Harshwhinny and Sugarbelle walked through the hallway. This was their first-ever school election...well being deputies of the school election. Sugarbelle used to go to Lodestar, she'd seen her fair share of a whole 2 elections in her four-year High School career. Harshwhinny as well.

"Well, this'll be an interesting bunch," Sugarbelle commented, "Heck, they're a lot better than the candidates when I went here."

"As long as this is all done in good fun, I see this as an absolute win," The Principal replied, "Hey, but speaking of interesting, what's the update on your wedding?"

Sugarbelle sighed, "It's exhausting, I'll tell you that much. Most of my summer was dedicated to Dress fittings, venue selections just a whole heap of finances as well."

"Oh come on, the end product is worth it," Harshwhinny giggled and patted Sugarbelle on the back, "What venue did you and Big Mac have in mind?"

"Oh, we wanted to do something on the beach. Somewhere very tropical, we only have a couple of months left, and we're still trying to decide between two beaches out in Asia."

"Ooh, that sounds exciting."

"We're also looking for hotels and other stuff, it's gonna be a lot of paperwork to fill," She sighed, "But, we are having the wedding reception here. We figured why not any place like home, right?"

So yeah, those two were talking about Sugarbelle's wedding plans.

But, just at that moment. Literally, the one teacher who I'm gonna guess most people reading this story actually likes and cares about...

Finally came back!

Shining Armor walked into the school. Unaware of what had been going on for the past two weeks, so seeing a bunch of election candidate banners was a little odd.

He spotted Harshwhinny and Sugarbelle though, smiling he progressed forward.

"Hey you two, what's up?"

They recognized the voice, and upon hearing it. The Principal greeted him back, turning around as she did.

"Well, it's about dang time you finally..." She stopped, as soon as she got look at his face, "...showed up?"

Shining arched his eyebrow, "W-what?" He then scowled at her, "Oh come on! Don't tell me you hate it too!"

Shining grew a beard, it was a pretty moderate full beard. Nothing special, but Shining had decided to let it grow a little for the last couple of months until it was perfect.

"It's just..." Sugarbelle kind of cringed, "We're so used to seeing you as...well "normal" you. Imagining you with a beard is kind of off-putting."

"I had a stubble a couple of months ago. Nobody was that hung up on it then," Shining complained, before letting out a defeated sigh, "Well, that's two more people..."

"Who are the others?" Harshwhinny asked.

"Cadence doesn't like it because she thinks it covers more of my face. Mom thinks I'm trying to grow up too fast and doesn't like it either, Dad thinks Iit flat out doesn't suit me and Twilight..." He sighed again and pinched the bridges of his nose, "She is just too obnoxious to even talk about."

Twilight as a matter of fact was near in vicinity and had heard the last part, "I HEARD THAT!" She shouted in annoyance.

"I wasn't trying to hide it," Shining replied, "Anyway, I'm a certified teacher now. So uh...I can come back to teach math here now, right?"

"Of course!... Actually, we were hoping you'd be willing to teach something else." Harshwhinny giggled, "You have a minor in finance, right?"

"Y-Yeah," Shining nodded, "But I really wanna teach─"

"Good!" Sugarbelle beamed, "The finance teacher here just retired, Mrs. Cheerilee has been having a hard time teaching them, so you can take over for her!"

"Wait what but I'm only qualified to teach─"

"Good luck!" Harshwhinny gave Shining an encouraging shove, making him yelp and fall over.

...

"That was completely unnecessary."

(Changeling Castle)

"I'm telling you, THEY WERE RIGHT THERE!" Flash looked like a mess, he had bags under his eyes, his face was a little dirty, and his hair was more unkempt than ever.

Yeah, you'd think that he'd just disregard a bad dream, right? I mean, it was just a bad dream!...

But no.

Something about that dream freaked him out!

"Okay, OKAY SENTRY!" Pharynx exclaimed, "Look, just calm down."

"I CAN'T PHARYNX!" Flash shouted in despair, "I CAN'T!"

"Well, are you sure you're not just sick with something?" King Thorax asked, "Maybe like the nightmare virus you told us of once?"

"n-No..." Flash shook his head, "That was nothing like it. If it was I'd be stuck asleep, needless to say, I couldn't shake off what was happening in that nightmare!"

"It just doesn't make sense Sentry," Pharynx commented, "We took care of those 3! There's no way they can come back."

"I know but...I DON'T KNOW!" Flash grabbed onto his head, "I feel like my head is gonna explode!"

Thorax and Pharynx were the most logical to talk to about this. Not to mention they were reliable to count on unlike other people recently. But even so, the two brothers couldn't wrap around their heads why this nightmare had thrown the Saiyan into downright paranoia.

"What about those Dragon friends of yours?" Thorax asked, "What did they have to say about this?"

"I don't know─I CAN'T GET A SINGLE FUCKING WORD THROUGH TO THOSE 4 BITCHES!" He shouted, scaring Thorax and Pharynx a little, "I'm not bringing Smolder or Spike into this either, they are way too young to be involved in shit like this! That just leaves Gleam and Crackle..." He gritted his teeth, "There's no way I can do that either, their elderly medical dragons. Throwing them into this situation is just as irresponsible..."

"Wait, what happened between the..."4 Bithces?"," Pharynx asked, "I'm gonna assume it's those 4 you usually talk about!"

"Well," Flash looked annoyed, slapping his forehead, "Look, some asshole decided it would be funny to pull a prank and frame me for it. It was a school dance, those 4 had gone with their friends, the prank happened and now everyone is convinced I pulled it, including those 4. Now they want nothing to do with me and...now I'm here!"

"sheesh, people in Canterlot really don't like you, do they?" Pharynx commented.

"Thanks for the news flash," The Saiyan rolled his eyes and sighed, "Pssh, I'm fucked..."

Thorax stroked his chin, he was technically supposed to be the wise one here. I mean, he was the king of the Changelings. But honestly. He was pretty lost on this whole situation as well.

But, he tried to chime in, "Well, it does seem odd that in your dream they gave you a specific date to meet up with them, what was it, this Friday night?"

"Then again, dreams can be pretty weird and detailed," Pharynx added.

"...just, go home for now Sentry," Thorax advised, "I'm sure it was just a bad dream and nothing more than that. Tirek, Chrysalis and Cozy Glow are gone. There's nothing to worry about."

Flash nodded, still hesitant. He was just gonna have to take their word for now. Even still though, it was nice to talk to someone.
