After reducing Celestia and Luna from royals to his own personal clowns with crowns, placing Celestia into a brightly colored pink tutu and pigtails while Luna is snapped into a goofy, patchy ensemble, the humiliated princesses still seemed to hold on to their defiance, acting far too serious for the fun loving Lord of Chaos. So he decides to ‘help’ Celestia and Luna unwind a little by throwing together a mock circus, with himself as the ringleader and the Princesses of Day and Night as the unwilling star attractions! When the two royal sisters continue to put up a fight, Discord decides to do something about them being such killjoys. A little rope and colorful gags of cloth go a long way to making the two powerful goddesses more compliant, or at least lessen their futile struggles and complaining as the two are tied and silenced, reducing their misgivings to angry glares and mmmphs.
 
For Celestia’s act, a classic unicycle act seems perfect for the pretty ballerina, as Discord also snaps up a few animated riding crops to ‘encourage’ the stubborn clown to perform well. Celestia frantically tries her best to cycle away from the eager crops taking every swat they can at, what she’s embarrassed to acknowledge as, an easy target as red-marks start to accumulate on her bottom. Meanwhile, poor Luna gets another classic act of the circus, the clown car! Unfortunate that driving the crazy vehicle with her arms literally tied behind her back proves a very difficult challenge, as Luna struggles hard to keep the tiny vehicle from going off course or worse, running into her sister. And of course, like any good clown, Luna is made to perform with her pants down, much to Discord’s amusement.
 
Discord himself makes sure the lights and stage are set for his two hilarious co-stars, bringing up a stage, tent, style and most important, audience to witness the former rulers of Equestria degraded into a bright, colorful pair of laughing stocks. The sisters persevere through the utter humiliation Discord’s wrought upon them, struggling against their bonds and enduring Discord’s twisted forms of entertainment, while holding on to what little they can of their pride and look for a way to usurp their mischievous usurper…
