Even though he'd only been in potty training for a few months, Discord had grown to really love it. He quite enjoyed the freedom it seemed to grant him, especially the times when he would occasionally be allowed to run around with nothing on his bottom. To the little draconequus, it was the greatest feeling in the world! The only thing that came close were the praise and affection Shining Armor and Cadence showered him with every time he was successful at using the potty they provided for him. Already, they were talking about how they would go about handling his inevitable transition to the toilet, even if that was still a ways away.

Regardless of where he was in his training, Discord enjoyed himself. And he was always proud of showing off his upgraded status to anypony and everypony.

However, there was one pony who was more than a little bit upset and unhappy about all of this: Discord's baby sister Snow Angel. Being younger than the little chaos maker by a considerable margin, there was very little chance she would be considered eligible for potty training anytime soon. Yet after what Discord had done the first time she'd voiced such displeasure, she opted to keep her displeasure to herself and hold her tongue.

At least, that's how it went until one day Discord finally decided to ask Snow Angel point blank about the problem. "How come ya not happy fow me whenevew I mention I in potty twaining?" He questioned her as they lay together in their crib in the Crystal Empire one night. "Mommy and Daddy saying I not gonna gwow up tat fast aftew aww. I stiww gonna be abwe to pway with ya and do othew tings with ya."

Snow Angel just sighed and turned her head, not even wanting to look at the baby draconequus. "Weww… is just…" Try as she might, she could not hide her feelings. "Ya make it sound wike so much fun, espeicawwy when Mommy and Daddy wet ya wun awound naked."

At that the little chaos maker giggled. "Uh-huh, is ta best! But tey stiww make me weaw tese puww-ups to bed just in case." He patted the aforementioned garment, noticing the star planted on it that was designed to limit his chaos powers so that they wouldn't get out of control.

Still having her head turned, Snow Angel lamented. "I know ya owdew tan me and ya gwow up fastew tan most babies 'cause of what ya awe," Her lips began to quiver. "But is so unfair that Mommy and Daddy wet ya get out of diapees, and not me. If ya can do it and tey can do it, why can't I?"

Discord shrugged his paws, not having a really good answer for it. "I dun know, gwown-ups have a wot of weiwd wuwes fow siwwy weasons."

The snow pony reluctantly and hesitantly turned to the baby draconequus. "So, how come I can't weast at twy to do what ya do? I tink I gets the idea," She blushed. "Mowe ow wess. Ya supposed to use a potty instead of a diapee."

The little draconequus put a paw to his chin, thinking it over. Snow Angel seemed to make a good point. What harm was there in letting her try? He would be there to help her, like a good big brother should. "Ya weawwy wanna twy to use ta potty?" He asked his little sister.

Snow Angel firmly nodded, sitting up in her crib and starting to bounce up and down. "Uh-huh! I wanna twy wight now!"

Discord sat up next to her. "Weww… okay, but we gots to be quick. If Mommy and Daddy wake up and find out we not in ouw cwib, we gonna be in big twobuwe."

"Awwight, wet's go!" The baby snow pony eagerly exclaimed as she turned to Discord! "Take me to the potty, whevew tat is!"

"Okay, just howd tight to me." The little chaos maker instructed. Once Snow Angel was firmly grasping one of his paws, he shut his eyes and tried to picture the location where he last remembered his training potty being in (recalling what he'd once done when using the toilet, he decided against trying to have Snow Angel use it). When he felt he had a good picture of it in his mind, he snapped his talons and made him and his sister disappear from their crib.

The two little ones soon reappeared in a poof of light in a place that was dark and very cold to the touch.

"I can't see a ting!" Snow Angel exclaimed as she tried to scan her surroundings in the murky darkness.

"Howd on, I'ww get ta wights!" Discord replied, and snapped his talons as he used his magic to make the lights flicker on! Light flooded the vision of him and his little sister, momentarily blinding them! Once they both adjusted to the sudden brightness, they looked all around. And much to the relief of the baby draconequus, he had indeed brought himself and Snow Angel into one of the crystal castle's many bathrooms. In fact, it was the very bathroom in which his well-worn pink colored training potty currently resided, cleaned and ready for use.

Snow Angel, for her part, didn't recognize the potty. She had only a vague concept of what it was and how it worked. She looked all around, confused. "So, whewe's ta potty?" She questioned and blinked her eyes rapidly.

Discord made his way over to his training potty and grunted as he pushed it across the tiled floor towards the snow pony. "Wight hewe. Tis is my potty."

"It is?" Snow Angel pondered as she eyed the funny looking little plastic bowl. When she got a confirming nod from her brother, she questioned further. "But how do mommies and daddies use it? It wooks too smaww fow tem."

"Tat's cause tey use someting eswe," Discord explained. Then he gulped and swallowed hard as he pointed to something big and white standing behind him. "Tey use someting cawwed a toiwet. But we not awwowed to use it, we not big enough fow it."

Eyeing the funny looking white bowl object in front of her, the baby snow pony was most puzzled by her brother's explanation. "Why? Is just a biggew potty."

But the little draconequus shook his head from side to side. "Nu-uh, it has watew and it does someting cawwed a fwush tat makes evewyting in it disappeaw!" He shuddered, remembering his personal experience with it back when he had briefly become opposed to the idea of potty training after talking with Snow Angel. "Twust me, ya don't wanna know whewe evewyting disappeaws to! So we have to use ta potty Mommy and Daddy got fow me."

Snow Angel was still a little bit unsatisfied with Discord's answer, but it did seem to make sense to her more or less. And as long as she was using a potty, that was what counted, right? Well, there was only one way to find out. She began tugging on her diaper, trying to pull it down. But she found that she couldn't get it to budge at all.

Discord, seeing his little sister struggle, snapped his talons and made the diaper fall right off. He blushed a bit when he saw Snow Angel's bare bottom for all of the brief second or so before she had plopped it promptly onto the potty and sat down.

Seconds passed in silence, before Snow Angel blinked and asked Discord. "Okay, I on the potty. So, wha do I do now? How does it wowk?"

The baby draconequus somewhat sheepishly said. "Ya go… Kind of wike when ya have a diapee on, ya know."

At that, Snow Angel's entire face turned a bright shade of red. It seemed that she hadn't realized that obvious fact until now. "Oh…" She then looked down underneath where she was sitting, only to see nothing. And so she hesitantly asked. "Um… how wong do I have to sit wike tis untiw I go?"

"Howevew wong it takes, Mommy and Daddy usuawwy keep twack of tat fow me," Discord admitted. "And sometimes, I sit on thewe but I dun do anyting. But Mommy and Daddy say tat okay too."

"Tat's no fun!" Snow Angel frowned even as she remained sitting for the time being.

The little draconequus hesitantly nodded. "Yeah, I know. Tat's the one ting about potty twaining I dun wike. I usuawwy know when I have ta go, so why do I have to sit on ta potty even when I dun have to go? Is a waste of time, espeicawwy when ya wike me and can just poof to ta potty whenever ya need it," But then he got an idea and let out a gasp! "Howd on, I tink I know someting that can hewp!" He snapped his talons, and from out of nowhere appeared a baby bottle filled to the brim with milk. "Hewe, dwink this. Dwink evewy wast dwop." He said to Snow Angel.

The little snow pony did so as soon as the bottle was floated over to her, drinking down the warm, sweet taste of milk until the bottle was completely empty. She was about to ask why her brother had done that, when suddenly she felt a funny feeling in her stomach. Realizing what it was, she leaned back a bit and sighed as a steady hissing sound echoed everywhere. It went on for what felt like ages, even though it was really just a few seconds.

"Ya did it!" Discord cheered afterward as he ran over and hugged Snow Angel tightly! "Now ya just gotta do tat fow Mommy and Daddy so tey know ya can use ta potty too," Then he snapped his talons again as he made the empty bottle disappear, and meanwhile magically pulled off a few pieces of toilet paper from a nearby rack. "Hewe, ya use tis to cwean up aftew ya go potty."

Snow Angel stood up and grasped the toilet paper, rubbing it back and forth between her flanks as best she could until she felt she was clean. Afterwards, as she looked down into the training potty, she was surprised at what she saw inside of it! "Wow! Is yewwow snow!" She giggled in amazement!

Discord eyed the training potty, and a quick glance revealed his little sister was telling the truth. "Wow, ya wight. I guess snow ponies go pee-pee and poo-poo diffewenty fwom othew ponies, ow even fwom me," Then, using his magic, he lifted the potty up, floated its contents (and the toilet paper) from the training potty into the toilet, and flushed the toilet before setting the training potty back down. "Now, Mommy and Daddy say ya supposed to wash ya hooves aftew ya go potty." And making use of a nearby step stool, he helped the snow pony up to the bathroom sink and turned on the tap for her.

Afterwards, Snow Angel asked Discord. "So, how do we get back to ouw cwib befowe Mommy and Daddy find out we gone?"

At that the little draconequus gulped anew, realizing something that hadn't occurred to him until now. "Tat might be a pwobwem. I used up too much magic. So we just gonna have to sneak ouw way back to ouw cwib."
