Twilight retells the story of the green vines that overtook the Everfree Forest and invaded Ponyville. Upon returning to Ponyville, she not only noticed Discord curiously examining the vines >>3216913, he was completely ignoring Berry Punch and Comet Tail held captive by said vines.

“Discord!” Twilight shouted with scorn, assuming the worst.

Having been caught, Discord flinched, almost appearing frightened to have been caught off guard. However, once he noticed it was Twilight, he discarded the piece of vine he’d been examining and then snapped his lion’s paw to summon a giant pair of garden sheers that snipped through the pony-ensnaring vine with ease.

The two ponies, now released by the vines, dropped to the ground and immediately sprinted off to safety.

Discord leaned forward, raised his eagle talons to his lips, and shouted to the retreating ponies.

“You’re welcome!”

After the two ponies ran out of sight, Discord turned his attention back to Twilight, a smug look of disinterest on his face.

“You’re back rather soon and alone, no less. Were you and your friends able to solve that little tree problem of yours?”

Twilight appeared to abandon her anger at discord, instead returning to her self-disapointment.

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

Discord rose with his eyes raised to the sky and his talons held over his chest, holding a pose and an expression as if taken aback or shocked.

“I’m just surprised that you—”

“What were you doing with that vine?” Twilight suddenly asked, looking over her shoulder at Discord.

Discord froze in his semi-dramatic stage pose, not expecting to have been interrupted.

“The what now?”

“The vine,” Twilight asserted. “When I came back and found you, you were looking over a piece of the vine instead of helping those ponies behind you, and you didn’t look too happy about what you were looking at… What do you know about these vines that you’re not telling us?”

In a flowing, fluid motion, Discord dropped the dramatic act and strolled closer to Twilight with a pleasant smile across his lips.

“Well, I suppose since you took notice, there’s no point in playing coy.”
