"Pssst! Applejack! Are you awake?" Pinkie Pie whispered to the blonde farm-pony who was sitting in the corner of the cage, looking through the bars. Well, at least she thought she whispered. I mean, this is Pinkie Pie that we're talking about. Applejack turned to face Pinkie. Tears ran down her face.

"What the hay, Pinkie? Are you trying to get us in trouble? Keep it down!" Applejack sighed out of frustration.

"I just wanted to see if you were awake." The party pony pleaded, pathetically.

"I didn't even go to sleep! Now shush! I'm trying to spy on Discord!"

"Oooh! Can I spy too? I could be a great spy! I can blend in with the shadows!" To prove her point, she crouched as low as she could on the ground. "See! Try and find me!" She giggled.

Applejack face-hoofed as Discord turned around.

"Durn-it, Pinkie!" She whispered. "Now our efforts are in vain!"

It didn't really matter, though. Discord could hear them. Discord hears all. But he had to tone them out. Rainbow Dash and Discord were plotting a very perilous plot. Well, a very perilous plot for the Princess, perhaps.
Dash leaned over Discord, looking at the scale-replica of Canterlot.

"So," she said to her leader. "If I lead most of the army through here and here," She marked the places with giant X's. "We'll have enough time for you to sneak in with some ponies through the back and capture the princesses!" She looked to Discord for approval, who shook his head. Rainbow Dash's heart broke. She just wanted approval. Her deadbeat father had never given her any.

"Your plan works, Dash, but I've thought of a better one. If you lead most of the army through here and here," He marked the places with giant Q's, a few streets down from where Dash had left her X's. "We'll have enough of a diversion for me to sneak in with my best ponies through the back, easily capturing the princesses."

Rainbow Dash looked at him, fire burning in her eyes. Discord picked up a fire-extinguisher, and put out those fires.

"Sorry, Dashie-kins, but the second-in-command never comes up with the plan. Never ever ever!" He laughed, and then turned grim. "Prepare the troops." He said, and then turned to the prisoner ponies.

"How're you finding your stays at the Discord Hotel? Are the living conditions adequate? No matter, I'm just here for one thing. I need you guys." He suddenly was dressed in an Uncle Sam outfit. He pointed at all of the ponies. "I want you to join the Discordian Army. Except for you, Sparkly-poo. Nobody want's a sad-sack leading an army. It kills the morale." He let all of the other ponies out, but left the monochromatic Twilight all alone in her cage. "Let this be a lesson to you. You do not fuck with Discord."

Whew, sorry about how short this chapter is. To compensate, the next one's gonna be huge. And bursting with battles. I hope you guy's have been enjoying this fic so far. I love writing for Discord. He's just such a lovable douche.
