Discord grinned as he reclined in his comfortable chair. The many monitors in front of him depict Sunny and her friends coming to terms with Sunset and Starlight’s departure. The room around him rotated around and around the same as always.

However, he grunted as he heard a portal in the mirror behind him activate.

“Oh, Sunset, I wish you would let me know when you’re coming,” he grumbled as he snapped his fingers.

Sunset’s head was poking out of the mirror. She smiled as the room immediately stopped spinning and settled into a normal position. Carefully, she stepped forward and out of the mirror. Her hoofs clicking on the floor as she walked forwards.

“Well, it’s not a surprise if I tell you I’m coming, is it?” she winked.

“Oh, I know,” Discord grumbled. “And I do enjoy your company. However, I wish you would give me a chance to prepare.”

“The same as you give everypony else a chance to prepare for your arrival?” Sunset smirked.

“Touché,” Discord smiled. “Well, what brings you back here from the human world then? I hope you haven’t gotten tired of seeing your latest group of friends age whilst you don’t.”

“Oh no, they’re all fine,” Sunset smiled. “No, I’m just wanting to check where things are at here. Have they made it back yet?”

“What? You mean Starlight and the younger you?” Discord smirked. “Yes, they’ve just left.”

Sunset smiled as she looked at the monitors, seeing Sunny investigating the locket.

“That’s good, that’s very good,” Sunset smiled. “It won’t be long now.”

“What? Will you stop speaking in riddles already,” Discord groaned. “I can never get a straight answer out of you when it comes to time. What won’t be long?”

“You’re one to talk about riddles,” Sunset smirked. “You will find out along with everypony else in due time. The clock is ticking now so I’ll be back soon enough.”

With that Sunset turned and started heading back towards the portal.

“Wait? That’s it? You’re going already!” Discord gasped as he spun around in his chair. “At least stay for some cucumber sandwiches.”

Sunset stopped and looked back over her shoulder with a smile. “Okay, fine. I will stay a while.”

Discord couldn’t help grinning with glee. He snapped his fingers and a plate of cucumber sandwiches appeared before he offered Sunset a seat.
