How will Discord repay Starlight for helping save Fluttershy?

[SaburoDaimando 1,196]

If you all recall in the Season 6 finale: "To Where and Back Again," Starlight Glimmer enlisted Discord's help in defeating Queen Chrysalis and saving Equestria.  But Discord hopped on after learning that Fluttershy was kidnapped by the changeling queen.  At the end of it all, Discord was most graceful to get Fluttershy back thanks to Starlight Glimmer's thinking.

But I wonder.  This means that Discord now owns a great deal of gratitude to Starlight Glimmer for helping save Fluttershy.  What should Discord do to repay Starlight for her heroism?

Well, if Starlight want to capture Chrysalis RIGHT AWAY, he could just snap his fingers and bring that bug queen to Starlight

Grant her a lifetime supply of her favorite food, whatever that might be. Discord clearly has that power if he can make chocolate rain from the sky. Only issue is that Discord might make at least one or two instances of this food really sour or something. His prankster self is still there.

I doubt he would want to give up Chrysalis, after all he has a personal matter to settle with her.

Regarding Starlight and Trixie, I think he is more likely to just remember he owes them something, rather than look for an actual gift. He has already offered to help Trixie with her act, and told Twi he was hoping she would send Starlight to his realm for a while.

That said though, I suspect it would be really unhealthy for anypony to make themselves a danger to either mare if Discord is there to notice, and I don't think you can count on him not being.

If he really wanted a settlement with Chrysalis , he would have done right after she escaped. I think Discord doesnt care about Chrysalis at all, it looks like he isnt a person who hold a grudge to anyone, even as a villain.

Agree with this one. 

Chrysalis vowed her revenge to Starlight is just silly in the beginning, the reason she still around because of everyone's mercy, they didnt even treat her as a threat anymore lol.

He also helped Starlight in order to save Twilight and everyone else. He doesn't have to repay her anything.

Not entirely sure he didn't. Discord has no problems with being several instances of himself at once, and could easily have sent a ditto after her as soon as she was far enough away Fluttershy wouldn't see what happened.

And its not so much a grudge as a sanitation measure. She has been a threat now to Fluttershy twice, and I can't imagine Discord being willing to risk a third occurrence.

Certain amount of "wait and see" there. There are plot advantages to having a few recurring villains with a grudge, and even if you know they are going to be defeated in the end (because how else would you end an episode?) that WAS pretty much the hook for re-mark

There will be a Chrysalis revenge story arc, and we will know it will happen eventually, if not in this season finale then another season finale. It means Chrysalis revenge story will occur regardless, if they dont plan that story, Chrysalis could just die right away after her hive exploded and her story could just end, but it didnt. If Chrysalis can comeback in later episode, it means Discord doesnt have any attempt to stop Chrysalis being a threat for the third time, proves that he doesnt even care about her at all.

Damn, the writers could just have Chrysalis use a piece of her throne to escape, and no one can stop her because of anti-magic rock, then she just use a teleport spell to escape, silly writtings.

Well given past experiences, he probably won't.

Maybe save the world for her in a big two parter! Oh wait, nah a mcguffin will stop him from doing that. idk, turn her house into her favorite cheese.

Probably nothing as usual

By making Princess Twilight awkwardly throw a sudden graduation for Starlight. Thank you Discord.
