Tirek is… Heavily confused, to say the least. Discord began teasing him, giving him his old coat he used years ago. Discord seemed to shrug off everything Tirek did in the past, though to be fair, a good potion of them did do terrible things before. Cozy Glow was excited to have Tirek back, remarking that he was always her favorite- much to the annoyance of Chrysalis. Speak of which, she began to talk to him herself.

“ You know what friendship feels like, we’ve all felt it before. That feeling after we worked together to get Grogar’s Bell… It wasn’t quite as horrible as I imagined friendship feeling, I suppose I can admit that much. I didn’t have to change who I was to accept it either, it was… Relieving. I know I referred to Friendship as a disease or whatever, but, Cozy might’ve been right. This is a better way to be bad, and if Discord is proof of anything, it’s that there is ways to enjoy ourselves just as we are without the whole… Taking over Equestria ordeal. “
“ I finally get what the professors were talking about with all that friendship stuff! It’s not just power, it’s so much more fun than that! There’s so many things I wanna show you, Tirek! “
Both Queen Chrysalis and Cozy Glow offered their hooves and, with a moments hesitation, Tirek took it. “ … Fine, if it will make you two stop being so sappy. “

… No, it can’t be that easy, can it? This isn’t the end.
Far from it, even.
This is only one half.
