Saten: Guys what's with all the vines?

AppleJack: ah don't know. But it'll soon take over all of ponyville considering how fast it's moving.

Satan: Yeah. Fast.. Just like in-

AppleJack: Okay! We get it! Yer used in a car racing story.. Will ya ever shut up about it!?

Saten: We'll see..

Saten: Soo.. Ponyville is being invaded by huge vine like plants? And the princess's have been captured?

Twi: Yes.. Except for me.

Saten: (turns to AppleJack) Hey.. Remember how you keep saying "only when hell freezes over".. Well.. I think this qualifies..

AppleJack: What are ya talking abo-

Saten: (thinking it might be some kind of "end of the world" deal, Saten suddenly kisses her on the lips, much to her complete shock).

AppleJack: (quickly pulls him away).. blushing) Umm..

Saten: Yeah.. By the way, your a terrible kisser.

AppleJack: I.. What?!

Twi: Guys.. Can we please focus on the matter at hand.

Pinkie: Twilight is right.. I'm sick of all this twists and turns.

Twilight: Wait.. Twists and turns..

Twi: (goes over to window) Half day, half night... strange weather patterns... out of control plants. I think I'm starting to get a pretty good idea of who we're up against.

LATER:

Discord: Don't get me wrong. I absolutely loooove what you did with the place. But I can't take responsibility. I'm reformed. Don't you remember?

Dash: Yeah, right! This has got your cloven hoofprints all over it!

Discord: I'll have you know that I have only ''one'' cloven hoof.. Such accusations. And here I thought we were friends?

Pinkie: Drop the act buster! We're one too you!

Discord: Ladies. Please. We'll I lie to you.

all them but Fluttershy: YES!

Fluttershy: Umm.. Maybe.

Twi: (sees them all staring at her confusedly, including Saten Twist, as he and Dash were seen hovering) W. why are you all staring at me like that?

AppleJack: It's just... Ya were mumblin' ta yourself...

Pinkie: Ooh! And don't forget the uncontrollable sobbing!

Fluttershy: We were really worried.

Saten: I for one thought it was hilarious.

Discord: I second that.. Sort of a one-pony theater piece, if you will. (shows the humorish verison of her crying). You should really consider taking it on the road.

Twi: I saw something from a long time ago. But it didn't explain what's happening now.

Discord: (dressed as camera man, and holding camera) Oh, I do hope she breaks into a song this time!

Saten: Haha! Nice! (he and Discord brohoof)

Saten: The tree of what now?

Twi: It's where Princess Celestia and Princess Luna found the Elements. I think it's in danger.

Saten: Then let's go.

Twi: Not you., This is too important.

Saten: So?

Twi: It's just.. You don't always seem to have everyone's best interest at heart.

Saten: Everyone's best interest.. Dude! I am a man of dignity!.. (smokes a large glass bong full of marijuana)

Twi: Look.. Just watch Discord for us.

Saten: (coughs violently) Fine. Fine..

AppleJack: So.. We're excatly is this "tree of harmony"

Twi: It's in.. (points to ever green forest) there..

Discord: Oh. Hoho.. I'm gonna need more popcorn!

Twi: That was close.

AppleJack: (sighs) A little too close, if ya ask me. Ya sure yer are alright?

Twi: I'm fine. I just can't seem to get these new wings to do what I want them to do when I want them to do it.

Dash: Aw, you'll figure it out eventually.

Twi: "eventually" isn't good enough.

AppleJack: Ya have been having an awful lot of trouble with those things. And, well, who knows what else is gonna to come after us? Ya know, maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea for Twilight to go back to Ponyville and let us look for the Tree of Harmony without her.

Twi: What!? Why!?

AppleJack: For starters, yac just about got eaten by a cragadilly.

Twi: We all did. It wasn't just me.

AppleJack: Sure, but... well, the rest of us aren't princesses.

Twi: Bu-

Rarity: Applejack does make a valid point. Even if we manage to save the Tree of Harmony, it won't necessarily mean Princess Celestia and Princess Luna will return. Equestria will need somepony to lead in their absence.

Twi: I'm not the only alicorn still standing.. Remember Ditto?

(he's from a another story of mine).

Rarity: Oh.. But isn't he like a thousand years old or something?

Twi: I guess.. But he's an alicorn, age doesn't matter as much.

Dash: But most ponies don't know him like we do. They don't even trust him. So why would they listen to him as a ruler?

Twi: Well he is dating Luna now, so there's that.

AppleJack: Look. We all just find it too risky.

Twi: you 'all' feel this way?

(the girls node)

Twi: F-fine (tearfully leaves)

Doscord: Oh so your back.

Twilight: Just me..

Discord: No luck finding your tree then?

Twi: We ran into some trouble. And my friends decided it would be best if I returned to Ponyville while they continue the search. Equestria will need me if Princess Celestia and Princess Luna don't return.

Discord: I'm just surprised that you agreed to their plan. I never thought you'd be the kind of pony who would think she was better than everypony else.

Twi: I don't think I'm better then everypon-

Saten: Every'body'

Twi; Oh. Shut. Up.

Discord: Oh, well, how silly of me to assume that you would think that. All you did was choose to keep your precious princess self out of harm's way while your friends thrust themselves right into it. I'm sure you'll all be the best of pals again when they return from their terrifying yet deeply bonding experience that they're having without you. [chuckles].

Twi: Damn you discord! (runs back in)

Spike: Oh come on. It's discord. He's just trying to get under your : Well.. It's working.

Saten: Wait., (flies after her) What if she gets lost..

Twi: Saten Twist!? I thought I told you stay with Discord.

Saten: I was afraid you'd get lost.. Besides. Discord's fine.

Twi: Fine.. But try to behave yourself.

Saten: Can do.

Twi: ... How's Derpy by the way.

End of story 8..
