Chapter 1: Discord is bored. Edited 2013-07-20

It was a beautiful day in Canterlot and Discord was chilling on a cloud, inside the royal maze, sipping on some chocolate milk while laying down in his copyrighted cloud hammock.

"Ahhh, it's such a beautiful day, the sun is shining, the birds are singing. You could not ask for a better day." Discord took a deep breath of fresh air. "And I'm so bored that it's dripping out of my skull." He sighed, as he tilted his head to get the bored out his skull, but the liquid bored would not go away so easily, it made its way up his body and back into his skull. Discord sighed again.

Discord got out of his hammock and walked over to a small pond. 'Hmm, I wonder what Celestia and Lulu are up to.' He thought to himself as he plucked a remote controller out of the air. He aimed at the pond and clicked 8-0-0-8-5. A bubble emerged from the pond, inside the bubble he could see Celestia taking her usual afternoon nap. She looked so content and comfortable, he almost felt bad for what he was about to do.... or not.

This is a way to good opportunity to waste. Discord chuckled. "Let's see, what can I do and what I shouldn't do."

Discord raised his paw and snapped his fingers together, in a bright white light Celestia's room had transformed into a giant nursery, complete with a crib, a yellow pacifier and a big fluffy plush of himself. Celestia was still sleeping like nothing had happened, she did however hug the plushy as she tried to get more comfortable.

"Well that's adorable.", but something is missing. He materialized a permanent black marker out of nowhere. He then reached out with the marker and pushed it through the bubble, he then drew a good ol' fashioned British moustache on Celestia's face. "Perfect." He peeled the marker like a banana and ate it.

Even thought that had been a bit of fun, he was still bored. *Sigh* "I might as well see what Lulu is up too." He picked up the remote and pressed 1-3-3-7-menu. The clear view the bubble once had suddenly got replaced with black and white static. Much to Discord's surprise. "What the chocolate-milk is going on?" He proceeded to bash the top of the bubble. "OH GREAT, NOW I GOT TO GET A NEW BUBBLE!" He stretched his paw beyond the borders of this story and into a certain underwater world, where a talking yellow sponge creature lives.

"Are you ready kids?" A pirate voice said.

"Aye aye Captain!" The voices of children cried out.

"I can't hear you." The pirate voice said.

"Aye aye Captain!" The invisible kids shouted.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." The pirate voice was holding the note, it was almost like he was waiting for something. *Loud inhale* "Okay where is the bubble transition?" The pirate voice said.

Discord pulled his paw back into the borders of this story. "Ah, there we go, the finest soap-bubble mixture you can get your claws on." He dipped the tool into the bubble mix and blew a tiny bubble into the pond, as the tiny bubble landed in the pond it grew into a 55 inch 3D bubble and suddenly Luna could be seen munching on a piece of moonpie, as Luna levitated a piece of pie into her mouth, her tongue almost touched Discord.

"Eugh, gross." Discord tossed his 3D glasses on the ground, he grabbed the remote and turned off the 3D. "3D is overrated anyway. So Lulu is enjoying a snack now is she. Well not for looooooong." He singsonged.

Luna was sitting by her desk inside her chamber, she had allowed herself a midday snack before going back to bed. She was sipping on a cup of mild camomile tea and enjoying her slice of moon-pie.

"Mmm, moon-pie, is there anything better?" Luna murmured to herself in delight. She reached over to her teacup and took a deep sip of her tea, once she emptied her teacup she realised that it tasted a bit strange, but she shrugged it off.

She sliced of another piece of pie and chewed it slowly, but that too tasted odd. Luna pierced a piece of pie with her fork and looked at it for a good while, it looked like a moon-pie but the chocolate cover had been replaced with a cover made out of espresso-beans.

Suddenly Luna was full of energy, she had a hard time sitting still and she was shaking violently. She quickly took her teacup and smelled it, her tea had been replaced by a 100x strong super espresso. Sparks were flying and she rocketed through the roof, she went straight up into the air, she broke the barrier of sound 4 times on her way up. There was only one person who would do such a thing.

Luna's face turned red of anger. "DISCORD!" Luna was soon nothing more than a blue trail in the sky, from the looks of it she was heading into space.

The sound of Luna crashing through the roof had awoken Celestia from her nap, she tried to roll out of bed but something was blocking her, she sat up and realized that her bed had somehow transformed into a crib, she put two and two together. "Discord," Celestia growled with pure hatred, in her tone.

She spat out the pacifier and teleported herself to Discord's chamber. But he was not there. "DISCORD WHEN I GET MY HOOVES ON YOU, YOU ARE GOING TO REGRET THAT I EVER GAVE YOU A SECOND CHANCE!"

Meanwhile back in the maze.

Discord was rolling on the ground laughing. "HAHAHAHAHAH. This is hilarious." He wiped a tear from his eye. He got back on his feats and walked up to his bubble tv. "Oh my, It looks like wittle Cewestia is a bit cwanky. Hahahaha-" *BOOM!* His laughing was interrupted by the sound of his bubble tv exploding with the force of a small nuclear bomb and thus sending him slamming into the wall of the maze.

Discord got up and gulped."Oh.......rats." he tugged at his beard. "That is my que to get out of here. I wonder what Fluttershy is up to." He snapped his paw and in a blinding white light he was gone.

Meanwhile in space.

Luna was rocketing through space at great speed. All that caffeine had forced her body into a state of hyper-drive, simply put her body was wasting power faster than it could produce it and she was unable to do anything about it, she was going to continue flying through space until all her power was gone and once that occurs her life will come to an end.

Luna could feel her body starting to disintegrate. She had no clue where she was, she wanted nothing but to be with her sister again. "Some pony please help me." She whispered into the darkness that was space.
As she sped through space it seemed to cling to her very body, slowly covering more and more of her changing her into a form everypony once knew and feared.
Her body was consumed by the dark essence known as Nightmare Moon, It was her bodys last resort, her last source of strength. She despised when it happened, it made her feel weak and every time it happened she felt was betraying both herself and her sister.
Every Time it happened there was always a small chance of her once again being taken over, by the darkness lurking deep within her soul.
This time however it only lasted long enough to barely save her own life.
The transformation had given her a few more seconds of consciousness, but that was all it was capable of.)

Suddenly she slammed into something and whatever it was it had stopped her rapid flight. Luna was barely conscious, but she still manage to get a quick peek at whatever creature had stopped her, she could not believe her eyes, it looked like a piece of space had manifested into the shape of an alicorn, she wanted to say something but due to lack of both power and oxygen she passed out before she was able to.

The unknown entity embraced Luna carefully and gently kissed her forehead, it raised it's hoof and pushed Luna's unconscious body into the direction of her home world. "Det var kul att se dig igen, mitt barn, men din tid är långt ifrån inne." The entity spoke in an ancient tongue before it once again melded back into the dark matter that was space.

Luna's body traveled through space at a speed beyond light and it only took her mere moments to land in Equestria. The loud crash had caught Celestia's attention, she flew towards the crash site, she instantly sensed Luna's essence and flew even faster.

She landed close to the crater and walked up to the impact area, she was dreading what she was about the see.

'Had Luna been burnt to a crisp, was she even alive?' Those were some of the questions racing through her mind. She gazed into the crater and to her surprise Luna was unharmed, well sort of, there was a small abnormality.

She levitated her little sister onto her back and flew back to the castle.

Fluttershy was sitting by a small table outside her cottage enjoying a cup of herbal tea and a slice of carrot-cake.

She was not alone at the table, to her left sat the small bunny known as Angel, he was munching on a piece of carrot-cake as well and at the opposite side of the table sat one of Fluttershy's oldest friends. An old snake named Grayscale, he was the first animal Fluttershy had cared for just as she had moved into her cottage years ago, to him Fluttershy was a goddess and he would do anything for her, he was enjoying a cup of tea as he was enjoying the warmth of the sun.

They were all having a wonderful time and then they all got blinded by a bright light.

Fluttershy fell off her chair and let out a terrified squeak. "Ekk!" Angel bunny put his paws up preparing for a fight and Grayscale hissed loudly baring his fangs ready to strike whatever had created that light.

"Tsk tsk tsk, honestly Fluttershy you need to man up a bit, I mean I must have appeared out of a bright light at least 89 and a half times since we first meet." Discord said as he held fluttershy high in the air in between his mismatched hands.

Both Angel bunny and Grayscale face planted/tail planted. 'Not this guy again, I'm out of here.' They both thought as they left the table. Angel hoped inside the house and planted himself on a cushion, he quickly fell asleep.

Grayscale slithered down towards the river and laid himself upon a sun bleached stone in order to catch some of the late afternoon sun.

Fluttershy smiled as she saw who it was. "Hi Discord it's good seeing you again but, maybe... next time you could send me a note or something before you arrive? If I knew you were coming I would have bought more snacks." She embraced him and nuzzled his neck.

Discord returned the hug and pulled his talon through her mane. "I could do that, but you know, I'm the living embodiment of chaos not even I know when or where I'm going to appear." He put her down and poured himself a cup of tea.

They chatted for awhile about everything and beyond.

They were suddenly interrupted by a very rude eagle who decide to shriek at the top of his lungs. Fluttershy dove under the table and covered her head with her hooves. Discord plugged his ears with his fingers, he then materialised a slingshot out of nowhere and fired a glowing marble at the eagle, thus turning the eagle into a flying whoopie cushion with eyes.

The former eagle flapped its wings, making a fart sound with every flap it took and it farted of into the distance.

"Hahahaha, that's what you get for breaking one of my eardrums." Discord pulled out a small broken drum from his ear. "Look now I got to repair it, do you know how hard that is?" He put a piece of gum in his mouth and started chewing.

Fluttershy got up from underneath the table and gave him a disapproving stare. "Discord turn him back, he did not mean it, he is just a cute little animal."

Discord sighed as he tried to fix his eardrum with gum. "Fluttershy my dear, you need to man up a little, I mean sure it was surprising hearing that flying gasbag trying to shatter the very fabric of space. But there was no reason to get scared." He put his eardrum back inside his head and clapped his hands a few times by each ear. "Great I once again have stereo quality hearing."

Fluttershy puffed up her chest and said. "I was not scared. I know I'm not the bravest pony in the world but at least I do my best-" She was interrupted by a puff of red smoke in her face.

Discord appeared in front of her in the shape of a tiny red dragon. "Boo."

"Ek!" Fluttershy's chest deflated and she dove under the table again. She was shaking like a leaf.

"Oh my, oh my." Discord said in a high pitched tone, it almost sounded like he was talking on helium. In a puff of smoke he was back to normal. He picked Fluttershy up by her tail and frowned at her. "Tsk tsk tsk. Not scared, huh?"

Discord put fluttershy down on the ground. Fluttershy sat down and it looked like she was going to cry.

"Hey, no no no no, no crying, okay?" He lifted her chin up and smiled at her. "You know what Flutters, I'm going to train you and once I'm done with you nothing will scare you."

Fluttershy tilted her head. "Oh, you don't have to do that. I don't mind being a little scared."

Discord pulled at his beard and groaned. "There is no escape from this Flutters. Now to make this a little more interesting, every time you get scared you'll shrink. Like this." Discord transformed himself into a diamond dog and roared at her.

"Ekk!" Fluttershy felt a tingling sensation in her body and she noticed that Discord got a few inches taller.

"Just like that, hahahaha. This is going to be so much fun." Discord smiled wickedly. To his surprise Fluttershy continued to shrink and very fast at that.

Fluttershy panicked at the sight of everything growing bigger and bigger. "Ahhh, Discord stop this right now! It's not funny anymore. She screamed with tears in her eyes and panic in her voice.

Discord snapped his talon and luckily Fluttershy grew back to her normal size. He wiped his forehead and drew a breath of relief. "That wasn't supposed to happen." He stroked his beard, thinking.

Fluttershy was breathing heavily, her heart was racing and she was on the verge of tears. "Promise me th..tha..that you ne..nev..never do that again. That was one of the scariest things I have experienced so far in my whole life. Just seeing everything grow massive, brr I'm getting goosebumps just by thinking of it."

Discord crouched down and looked her deep into the eyes. "Fluttershy I would never hurt you on purpose. I would rather die than harming you. I give you my word, I will never cast a shrinking spell on you ever again." He crossed his heart and ate a cupcake with his eye.

Fluttershy smiled at him and gave him a hug. "Thank you Discord." Discord returned the hug and after a few moments they broke it. It was starting to get dark and Fluttershy let out a big yawn. Discord cracked his back and levitated into the air.

"Anyway Flutters, it's getting late. I'll come back tomorrow and then you're no fear training will begin. Goodnight dear." In a puff of smoke he was gone. Fluttershy walked into her cottage and went straight to bed.

Later that same night. Discord was snoring audible and he was talking in his sleep. "Zzz, shrinking spell on zzz Fluttershy zzzz bad."

Sadly fate has its own way of playing pranks. Discords tail shaped itself into a hand and snapped its fingers together, a bolt of yellow light flew out of his tail and bolted towards a certain cottage in the outskirts of Ponyville, the bolt hit its mark and faded away.

Fate can be a real butthole sometimes.

Author's Note

This is going to be fun.
Feel free to leave critique and please tell me what you think.
Did I overplay Discord's random nature or did I keep to a nice level?

Thanks to my awesome editor: Draxco.

Chapter 2: Pranks gone wrong.

Later that same night.

Luna slowly opened her eyes, only to quickly close them again, the light in room was too bright for her unaccustomed eyes. She looked around at her surroundings and realised quickly that she was laying in one of the castles hospital beds, she sat up, she realised that her bed was surrounded by a set of light purple drapes.

Outside the drapes she could see two shadows moving around her bed, talking to each other, she perked her ears and listened in on the conversation.

“So how is she doing, is she going to be okay?” It was Celestia's voice, Luna would never mistake it.

“Well physically she is fine, no damage whatsoever, not even a small burn or anything.” It was the voice of Dr Scalpel, her and Celestia's private doctor.

“That is wonderful news! Considering the fact that she fell from space. I would have expected some kind of damage.”

“It’s nothing short of amazing, something must have been protecting her during her descending and keep her safe. But what?”

“Who cares. The important thing is that she is safe. I hope she wakes up soon. I trust your skills as a doctor but I’m still worried.”

“That’s understandable. You should get back to your quarters my princess, if her condition gets worse or she awakens I’ll send for you.”

Luna had heard enough and decided to speak up. “Sister I’m awak-” Her sentence was cut short due to heavy coughing.

“Luna!” Celestia pulled the drapes away, she smiled happily and shed a tear of relief. She proceeded to pour Luna a glass of water from the pitcher standing next to her bed.

“Here sister, drink.” She levitated the glass in front of Luna and held it up to Luna’s mouth so she could drink.

Luna drank deep from the water. Once she finished she closed her eyes and shook her head a few times, hoping that she would be able to see properly.

She looked up at her sister and let out a surprised gasp. “Sister.......” She covered her mouth with her hooves and looked up at her sister who had a concerned look on her face.

Luna was in a bit of shock after hearing her own voice, it was a lot higher pitched than normal and her sister was towering over her.

She looked at her hooves and then back up at Celestia. Tears started to form in her eyes and she sniffled lighty. As the tears began rolling down her cheeks, Celestia gently placed one of her wings around her. “How?......Why?........Sister, how did this happen and more importantly why?” She said between sobs.

Celestia leaned closer to Luna and nuzzled her, Luna grabbed the tip of Celestia's muzzle, she was shivering like a puppy, alone in a thunderstorm.

“Luna, it’s nothing to worry about. It’s onl-”

“NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT!? SISTER I'M A FOAL!” Luna burst into tears and they quickly descended down upon her bed sheets, darkening the once white sheets.

Celestia gently picked up her sister and laid herself down on the floor, she then placed Luna in between her forehooves, thus allowing her little sister to cry into her chest. “Luna I understand that you are upset. But there is absolutely nothing to worry about. You see, when you were flying through space at such velocity that your body was in a state similar to a magical surge thus unable to keep up with the rapid usage of magic.

Simple put your body was wasting more magic that it could produce and this is the tradeoff. But fear not little sister, you will be back to normal in a couple of days, it’s nothing permanent.”

Luna looked up at her, now a lot bigger sister. “Thats good, but can you promise me one thing?”

Celestia wiped away Luna’s tears and smiled. “Of Course little sister, anything for you.”

Luna crossed her hooves and tried to look menacing, of course it only made her look more adorable. “Promise me that I get to light Discord’s tail on FIRE!” She snorted and a two small jets of steam escaped her nose.

“Hahaha. Of Course sister. I’ll even let you in on a little secret.” Luna’s ears perked and she looked at her sister with a devilish grin. “Discord hates peanut butter.”

“What, seriously? That was the last thing I expected you to say. I was hoping for something more juicy.” Luna pouted. But quickly looked back up at her sister. ”Oh yeah I have been meaning to ask you this, sister, why do you have a moustache?”

Celestia’s eyes widened and she rose to her hooves. She placed Luna on her back and walked over to a mirror, after staring into it for a few seconds she tried to rub it of but to no avail. She proceeded to dip a cloth in water and trying again, once again to no avail. her temper went from slightly annoyed to solarflare in an instant.

Most noticeably by the fact that she was snorting fire out of her nose and both her mane and tail was starting to glow with an intense red color. “Discord!” The pure amount of hatred in her tone was enough to melt both the mirror and the part of the stonewall behind it..

Luna had never seen the vein in her sister's forehead pulsate like that before. She carefully slid down onto the floor and hid under her hospital bed. When Celestia gets this angry there is only one reasonable thing to do.

DUCK AND COVER!

“DISCORD!” Celestia shouted. A jet of steam flew through the entire castle, a pillar of fire rose from her body and pierced the roof and light up the night sky like a massive firework of destruction. Luckily there were only twelve casualties this time around, they were all taken to the hospital wing for severe burn treatment.

Discord was soaring through the night sky, enjoying the cool breeze. “I always enjoyed the nights more than the days. Simple because there are no stars to play with in the day, unless I make it so that is, but that’s not the same. I mean sure I could draw a picture of a Celestia’s royal rear using the clouds.

But it’s so much more fun to do it with the stars, that way only a few ponies will know what they are looking at the moment they lay their eyes upon it..” He gazed upon his masterpiece and snorted.

Suddenly he was hit in the face by a heat wave originating from the castle. A shiver went down his spine and the flame pillar in the distance was not helping.

Discord cleared his throat and stopped dead in his track. “Crap........... she must have noticed the moustache.”

“Fudge..... *sigh* I guess I'm not sleeping in the castle tonight. Well it’s a lovely evening anyway, I might as well go camping by the old river.”

Discord snapped his talon and teleported to a nearby river, he started a fire and sat down on a log. He snapped his talon again and he was now donning a full cowboy costume, complete with a story of hay in his talon and a snake in his boot.

He cleared his throat and spat some tobacco into the fire, he then stuck the haystrand in his mouth. “Well partner, when the misses is on her time of the month, you better stay clear. He said imitating Applejack’s accent.

A very angry hissing could be heard from his boot, he plucked the boot of his goat hoof. “Andy. Who the heck is Andy?” And proceeded to shake it a few times.

Grayscale the snake fell out and hissed at him. “YOU!.......... You better send me back to my goddess right now....... or else!” He was pissed off.

“Howdy partner, you looking slim as usual.” Discord grinned.

“How about a song?” A guitar materialised out of nowhere and Discord started playing it. “Well there once were to cowboys all alone out in the woods and they discover that you could sleep with another man. Now they're having buttfun, cowboy buttfun-” Before he could continue his beautiful song, he noticed that Grayscale had wrapped himself around the guitar and was giving him a death stare.

“NOW! You pathetic waste of air!” Grayscale hissed, while baring his fangs.

“Oh nelly, way to be a party pooper, partner.” Discord unwrapped Grayscale and stuck a cigar in his mouth. “There we go smoke up, partner.

Grayscale had accidentally taken a deep breath form the cigar and was twitching around violently on the ground. *cough, cough!*

“And that ladies and gentlemen is why you don’t take a snakes smoking virginity.” Discord was smoking a cigar of his own brand. He blew out some purple smoke, which transformed into several tiny version of himself, they all started dancing and singing around the coughing Grayscale. “Smo... smo...smokings bad Mkay, kids?”

“The mighty snake is dead, the mighty snake is gone. Now we will skin him and call it a day!” The tiny army of purple discords sang in perfect disharmony.

A few moments of painful coughing later. Grayscale have had enough, he started spinning his tail, which caught Discords attention. a few dramatic spins later he flipped him the bird, with the end of his tail. The worst insult any snake could give to someone. He then slithered away into the night, mumbling things a E rated story can’t show.

Discord was taken by surprise he had not expected to get flipped off by a snake.“Well up yours too, you overfeed earthworm!” Discord blew a raspberry in Grayscale’s general direction. He then clapped his hands together, making all the camping stuff disappeared and teleporting him inside his quarters in the castle. “I’ll worry about Celestia tomorrow, what is the worst thing that could happen.”

Those were the last things that went through his mind before faceplanting into his bed and falling asleep.

Luna was enjoying a comfy ride on her big sisters back, she felt nostalgic. How long had it been since the last time she had been carried on her sisters back?

Celestia was muttering something in the ancient Equestrian tongue as she walked.

“Den där satans Discord! Han ska få betala för den här jävla mustaschen. När jag får tag på honom ska jag vrida nacken av honom.” She turned her head and looked at her sister. Luna was having a hard time keeping her eyes open and she was yawning quite a lot. Celestia was melting on the inside, Luna was so adorable. But she should not get carried away, Luna would be back to normal in a few days. But then again, a little fun could not harm. Could it?

“Are you feeling okay little sister?” Celestia stopped in her tracks and gave Luna a quick cuddle.

“I’m fine sister, tired but fine.” Luna said, doing her best to stifle a yawn. failing adorably, but she still tried.

Celestia smiled and walked inside her quarters, she walked up to her bed, she carried Luna off her back by the scruff of her neck and gently sat her down on the bed. “Well let’s go to sleep then shall we?” She climbed into the bed and spread her wing on top of Luna.

Luna was too tired to say anything about the whole wing cradle. But a part of her mind enjoyed it, it made her feel safe.

Luna yawned again. “Good night sister.” She drifted off to sleep in a few seconds.

Celestia just looked at her little sister, she was so small and fragile right now. She was going to do everything in her power to make sure that she was safe until she returned to normal.

Celestia leaned close to Luna and whispered softly in her ear. “I’ll keep you safe little sister, just as I always have and always will. I will never fail you again.” She sang softly on one of the song her mother used to sing for her, when she was a foal..

“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.

You make me happy when skies are gray.

And you will never know how much I love you,

so please don’t take my sunshine away.”

Celestia laid her head to rest and sleep, a feeling of happiness which she had not felt in a long time was tugging at her heartstrings.

Early the next morning Discord ‘s tail levitated him into the shower, his tail was preparing their usual morning routine. It morphed into a hand and snapped its fingers. Thus placing a bar of soap in Discord’s mouth, spilling oil all over the floor outside the shower, creating a big block of ice shaped as a heart, turning the shower on and finally flushing the toilet.

The piping hot water woke Discord from his sleep and he let out a yelp of pain. “OUCH!”

He jumped out of the shower and hovered in the air, which caused him to swallow the bar of soap, he gagged and landed upon the oily floor. He slipped on the oil and smashed right through the heart shaped block of ice.

Several poptart cats were flying around his head and his eyes were rolling in his skull. The cats were nyaning constantly and the rainbow pouring out of their behinds, did nothing for Discord’s pounding head.

A few minutes passed and he rose to his feet and rubbed his head. “Ouch. Why do this keep happening to me? What did I ever do to deserve this?.........Oh yeah right.”

“Nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan!” The cats circling Discord’s head chanted.

“OH! These *Pow!* stupid *smack!* cats!” Discord muttered as he smacked them away one by one. Once silence claimed the room, he sat down on his bed and let out a sigh of relief.

“Sigh, another fine day and even more dead poptart cats.”

He rose from the bed and stroked his beard. “It feels like I’m forgetting something.............. but what?”

A few minutes of hard thinking later.

“Screw this. I’m cheating!”

He then stretched out his talon and grabbed the script from the authors desk.................

“Wait he did what?”

Discord put a finger to his mouth and said. “Shhh, you are not supposed to be in the story, dumbass. Go play some Skyrum, or whatever you call it.

“Skyrim.”

“Hey! Zip it.”

Discord placed a pair of glasses on his face and started reading. “Hmmm. Breakfast.....ehhhhh......Luna.....ehhhh...... Aha! Here we go. It says I’m supposed to go see Fluttershy and help her with-” *SPOILER*

Satisfied with the knowledge of the Elder scroll, Discord threw it away and it landed inside a furnace.

Discord straightened himself out and walked towards the dining room. “Ahh, now that I’m up to speed, I should go see what Lulu and Celestia are up too.

Celestia and Luna was sitting by the dining table, Luna was sitting in a high chair, with a bib around her neck, getting spoonfeed oatmeal by her big sister.

Luna swallowed another spoonful of oatmeal. “Sister, I can understand why I currently need the highchair, but is the bib really necessary?”

Celestia guided another spoonful of oatmeal to her little sister’s mouth and smiled warmly at her. “Well ,Luna, It might not be necessary. But I think it’s better to be safe than sorry right?

“I guess you’re right, it’s not the end of the world or something.” Luna said with a sigh.

“Besides it makes you look even more adorable than you already are.” Celestia giggled.” Luna just rolled her eyes.

Suddenly a massive explosion occurred, it did no damage and there was no force behind it, but it was loud. Thus causing Celestia to instinctively cover Luna’s ears.

Then out of the smoke Discord appeared, wearing a sly grin as usual.

He took a seat by the table and stretched his legs out. “Ahhh, such a glorious day. Good Morning big sun and.............. little.....moon?” Discord scratched his head and stared at Luna. “Hmm, looks like i'm in the wrong time period, again!

Typical morning shenanigans. Anyway Hewwo Thewe Wonna, who’s a wittle cutie? You are, yes you are! Look what uncle Discord got for you.” he motioned dramatically with his hands and making silly faces.

Celestia cleared her throat and gave Discord a cold stare. “Discord, for your information, you are still in the right time period. This is the drawback to the quote on quote prank you pulled yesterday!”

Discord stop making silly faces at Luna and looked at Celestia. “Ehhh, I knew that. I mean your flank is way too big for the old days. So anyway Luna is now Wonna. I fail to see the problem.” He leaned back in his chair and stroked his beard a few times.

Luna was furious, why could he not take anything serious? “I could have died you as-”

Luna was interrupted by Discord. “Hey look at this, I found an airhorn! This day just keeps getting better and better.”

“Don’t interrupt me you” *HOOOOOOONK!* Discord honked with his air horn.

“I almost died you *Hooooonk!* I’m going to rip out your spine and shove it in your *Hooooooonk!* and that is only if i’m in a good mood you-” *Hooooonk!*

Discord shoved a pacifier in Luna’s mouth. “Hey, Lulu language! This story is rated E you know you can’t say those things.”

Luna spat out the pacifier and gritted her teeth. “What the *Hoooonk!* are you talking about you piece of *Hooooonk!*?”

Celestia placed her hoof over her lips and gave her a stern stare.“LUNA! Enough, it’s not proper for someone your age or any age for that matter, to use such awful words.”

“Hrmp, it's not fair..........” Luna turned away from her sister and pouted.

Discord wiped away some sweat from his forehead. 'Phew, good thing someone manage to get her to stop. I was almost out of gas.' He thought.

Celestia looked at Discord with a hint of annoyance. “Discord, I understand that you get bored from time to time. But please you got to stop with these pranks of yours, just look at what happened to Luna, I doubt it was your intention to drain her completely dry off magic. She could have died.” A hint of sadness manage to sneak into her words.

Discord squirmed like and earthworm on a fishing hook. “Hnnngg, ragh! Fine I admit it. I was the one who pulled those pranks. Wahahahah! Discord covered his eyes and tears were sprinkled everywhere. “I'm such a horrible person. I don’t deserve live.” He said in between sobs.

It was as if time itself had come to a stop. Neither Celestia or Luna had ever seen Discord actually being sad for something he done. The only sound in the room was the sound of Discord’s tears hitting the floor.

*Sob* “But.......... IT WAS SO FUN HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH!” Discord removed his hands from his eyes and pulled out two tiny fountains from his eyes.

Both Luna and Celestia face-hoofed at this. How could they even for a second think that he was sorry. They sighed heavily.

“Hahaha, ohhhh, ohhhh, ahaha.” Discord was panting from laughing too hard, he wiped away the remaining water from his eyes and plastered his trademark grin back on his face. “Anyway. It’s not like it’s permanent or anything and seriously, this is by far not the worst thing I have ever done, right?”

Discord plucked a baby bottle of chocolate milk out of nowhere and shoved it into Luna’s mouth. He pressed the bottle and squirted some of the chocolate milk down her throat. This caused Luna to cough and she slammed the bottle down on her high chair, she turned around and pouted again.

But then she smacked her lips together and realised that it was delicious, she grabbed the bottle and turned away from Discord before she started drinking. Discord just smiled at her puny attempts to high and mighty.

Celestia took a deep breath and said. “I guess you’re right. I can’t really blame you for getting bored all the time, I need to find something for you to do.” She looked over at her sister who was doing her best to empty the bottle. “I hope that is not too much sugar, Lunas teeth are still developing and I don’t want her to get a cavity.

“Wow, who are you, her mother or something?”

“I’m just concerned for her health, is that so bad?”

Discord blew a raspberry at Celestia.”Oh, please little miss sunshine. I drink it all the time, I got no clue what it is, all I know is that it tastes awesome. Who knows maybe it’s blood?” He shrugged his shoulders.

Luna’s eyes widened and she stopped drinking for a moment and looked at the bottle. “Meh.” she continued to drink to her hearts content.

“Anyway. You two are incredibly boring and adorable at the same time. So I'm outta here. Bye!”

He snapped his fingers and in a bright light Discord evaporated into thin air and disappeared.

“Well as long as he doesn’t destroy the world or anything like that. I don’t really care, what about you little sister?”

*BURP!* “That was super yummy and I don’t care what it is.” Luna said with glee.

Celestia stared in horror at her little sister. “How did you manage to get chocolate milk all over your coat when you drank it from a baby bottle?”

“The dumb nipple thingy was making it hard for me to drink, so I removed it.”

“Luna.... there is chocolate milk all over the highchair and the floor. We are taking a bath right now young filly.” Celestia teleported herself and her sister to the bathroom and drew a bath for herself and her sister.

'Is this supposed to be a punishment or something? I love baths and I’m going to make sure that there is water everywhere once I’m done. Muahahhaha' Luna laughed maniacally in her mind.

Meanwhile in Ponyville.

Fluttershy was sweeping her cottage, while humming a gentle tone. “There we go all nice and clean. I wonder where Grayscale is, he usually hangs around the house when I'm cleaning, oh well, maybe he is shedding his skin, it’s should be about time he is starting to look a bit grayer than usual.”

She walked outside with a bag of leftover bread.

Once she reached the pond by her house she laid down and started tossing the bread into the pond. All of the fish in the pond were viciously eating the bread crumbs as soon as they got into the water.

It was such a peaceful moment, Fluttershy was enjoying every second, it had been a while since she had been able to relax properly.

But as we know, fate is a butthole.

All the fish in the pond disappeared, the water started to bubble violently and red steam was rising from it. A pair of red eyes were glowing, they were slowly rising from the bottom.

“Ekk!” Fluttershy started running towards her cottage only to be blocked by two massive tentacles slamming down in front of her.

A vicious snarl was coming from the pond and something was slowly rising from it. Fluttershy was hyperventilating and scared beyond measure.

Another tentacle grabbed her around her stomach and lifted her over to the center of the pond.

From the center of the pond a massive mouth emerged, it was filled with razor sharp teeth and a long slimy tongue was making disgusting sounds.

“FLUTTERSHY!” A booming voice said.

“Ahhhh!........” Fluttershy passed out in the tentacle that was holding her.

“Oopsie!” Discord emerged from the monsters mouth. He tugged at his beard. “Rats........... Kraken buddy, I think we overdid this whole thing.

“I only did what you told me.........” the Kraken said sheepishly.

Discord pulled at his face. “Yes, yes, I know. Ju....ju... just get back to the ocean and I’ll take care of this!”

The Kraken shrugged, he put Fluttershy down and then he disappeared in a poof of smoke.

Discord walked up to her and took her in his arms. “Hey Flutters, c'mon wake up please. I.... I can’t go on without you in my life. Please wake up. He hugged tightly and a few tears escaped his mismatched eyes.

His tears splashed on Fluttershy's face, she blinked a few times and looked up to see Discord crying.

“Discord are you okay, what is wrong, why are you crying?”

Discord’s eyes shot open and he hugged Fluttershy even tighter. He was so relieved that she was okay. But that is nothing he would ever admit.

“Oh, finally. You know boring it is to watch you sleep?”

“Why were you crying?”

“Let me tell you something Flutters, I got so bored that I started to cry and there was totally not a giant squid in your pond that scared you half to death, thus making me cry like child who lost his only true friend. That was totally not the case.”

Fluttershy smiled at him and gave him a peek on his cheek.”It’s okay, I’m fine now.”

Discord cheeks blushed a crimson red. So he slammed a apple cream pie in his face, for obvious reasons.

“Enough funny business.” He put Fluttershy down.

“I’m here to make man out of you and begin the training at sunrise!”

Fluttershy looked over the horizon and saw that the sun was about to set. She then looked at Discord and smiled. “Okay, I’m ready!"

Author's Note

God dangit, Discord how am I supposed to finish this thing now that you burnt the script?

On a more serious note. I hope you enjoy reading the chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Thanks to my awesome editor Draxco as usual.

Chapter 3: The shrinking begins

Grayscale was slithering through the everfree forest. He still had a long way to go until he would reach the domain of his yellow goddess.

He would not stop until he was back by her side, he owed her that, she had unselfishly rescued him after he had been taken by a falcon, in his youth.

Despite being one the oldest animals in the domain of the goddess, he was still disliked by a lot of animals living there.

But in order to serve his goddess he would do anything.

He lived for one reason and one reason alone. To please the one that saved him and help her out anyway he could.

He would protect the newly hatched chickens from predators, he would kill other snakes with bad intentions, he would gladly sacrifice his own life, if his goddess wanted him to do it. Other snakes saw him as a traitor, but it was worth it.

The smile upon the goddesses lips was enough reward for him. He wanted nothing more than for his goddess to be happy.

But even the most loyal of servants sometimes fail the ones they love.

He could not stand, Discord, his mere presence angered him. Why did his goddess chose to spend time with that monster?

A monster who took nothing seriously, a monster who cared about nothing but itself, a monster that would abandon his goddess at the first sight of someone else.

Yet his goddess seemed to enjoy the monsters company, he had seen her laugh and smile when the monster was there, he had seen sides of his goddess which he had never seen before and despite his wish to serve, he would never accept that monster as anything other than a selfish piece of dung.

Grayscale had made it to a small river. He recognised this river, he was close to the place his goddess called home.

He knew that the water would be cold and the cold alone could probably kill him.

But he had no time to waste, he had a bad feeling, something was going to happen to his goddess and he would be damned if he was beyond her reach when she needed him.

Grayscale dove into the river and swam as fast as he could, but fate was not on his side today, because the moment he left the river a young black snake approached him, it was the black kingsnake of the forest, or newly crowned king at least.

In his eyes this one was still an inexperienced hatchling, who was high of the power his father had left for him.

Normally this little egg-muncher would have been a breeze to deal with, but with his body cold from the water, he was in no condition for a head on fight.

Grayscale had to be smart about this, he had to win time, he lowered his head to the Kingsnake and greeted him, just as he would have done to his father.

“Greetings oh mighty one, I hope you will allow and old servant to pass.”

“Well this is a surprise, you are the last one I expected to bow before me. What happened to that cocky attitude of your?”

“With time comes wisdom my king.” Grayscale kept his head lowered as he talked. “And I have finally realised that I am no match for a someone as powerful as you.”

The black King got closer and bared his tiny yet sharp fangs, they were dripping with fresh venom.” HA! The mighty Grayscale has finally come to his senses. Hahahah! Such a glorious day! Keep your head low, it will make it a lot easier for me to bite it off, traitor!” He hissed menacingly.

`Oh, snakeskins! This cocky hatchling is going to kill me........Well as long as there is a breath in my body I swear that I won’t leave this world unless it’s by my goddess side and by her own desire.´

Grayscale was outmatched in speed overall stamina and most likely endurance. But he still had more experience and his unusual size to utilize in this fight.

The black King hissed and moved in for what he expected to be an easy kill. But when he launched himself at his prey, he was met by a surprise.

Grayscale had used the end of his tail and slapped him hard right between his nostrils, it caused the King to flinch.

That was all Grayscale needed, he bared his fangs and sank them into the King’s lower abdomen thus causing him to roar in pain.

The battle had just begun and the King was already at a clear disadvantage, even though Grayscale’s poison had since long dried up, his fangs were still some of the sharpest know to snake kin.

The King had to take this seriously if he wanted any chance at winning, but a youthful snake drunk on power takes nothing seriously. In a fit of rage the King once again tried to sink his deadly fangs into Grayscale’s body.

Just as he had anticipated the King relied on nothing but brute force, there was no thought behind his aggressive attacks and Grayscale avoided them easily.

The King got angrier and angrier, therefore his attacks grew more and more sloppy, until finally he had done a fatal mistake, he had his back turned to his opponent, the one thing you never do.

Grayscale wrapped himself around the King’s body and squeezed him tightly, he then caught the King’s head in his mouth, the king was scared, his breathing had gone haywire and he knew that there was nothing he could do to prevent Grayscale from ending his life.

So he did what every coward would do, he begged for his pathetic life.

“P-p-p-please, don’t kill me. I DON’T WANT TO DIE!” The king begged. “I’ll GIVE YOU ANYTHING!”

Grayscale pondered his offer for a moment, on one side if he killed him there would be chaos in the forest and that would most likely lead to more frequent snake attacks, in the goddesses garden.

But, he would finally be rid of this pathetic hatchling and no snake would ever dare to go up against him, thus solving the possible threat on the goddesses garden.

But this hatchling still had many insane followers who would stop at nothing to get revenge for their fallen king.

But on the other side, if he spared his life he could make him promise that there would be no more attacks on the garden, while his bloodline was in command.

But there is no way to tell how long this hatchling would be in charge. There was only one logical thing to do.

Grayscale released the King’s body but kept his head in his jaw.

“Listen here! I will let you live. But I want you to promise on your ancestors that there will be no more attacks on my goddess' garden, Is that understood?!” He released the King’s head, but he made sure to scratch his throat in the process.

The king slowly regained his posture, he cursed under his breath and said. “Very well. I swear upon the name of my father and everyone before him, to never attack the garden, as long as Grayscale’s goddess wanders upon these lands, I will personally make sure of that.” The black King slowly slithered away deep into the forest.

As Grayscale continued his journey towards his goddess, he wondered if he did the right thing, when he spared the King’s life, his father would have upheld the promise, but he was not convinced that the son would do the same.

`Oh, well, if he breaks it, I’ll simply kill him the next time our roads happen to cross. I need to get back my goddess. I have a bad feeling about something and I’m certain the monster is to blame.´

He slithered as fast as he could, if he was lucky he would be back by his goddess side in a few hours.

Fluttershy was sitting down next to a big stone which Discord was standing on, he was wearing a pink headband and a pair of matching long pants, he was looking down at her from the rock, towering over her even more than usual. Fluttershy felt a tad nervous, she had never been trained by anyone in the art of bravery before.

Discord jumped down from the rock, he walked up to Fluttershy and cleared his throat. “Ahem! Are you ready for your bravery training?!”

Fluttershy got closer to the ground and very quietly said. “Yes.”

Discord tugged at his beard and stretched it out like a piece of taffy, which he then used as a scarf. “Fluttershy, I’m not getting a good vibe from you. We are here to train you to be brave and you are already trying to hide. I said that we would start at sunrise and I stand by my word.”

Fluttershy’s mood brightened and she rose from the ground. “Oh, that means we won’t start until tomorrow right?”

Discord widened his eyes so much that they fell out of his skull. “RATS! Not again!” He started feeling around for his eyeballs. “Stupid eyeholes. Not being stretchy enough. I need to get some chains attached to these things.” He muttered under his breath.

When he finally found them, he simply popped them back in. “Ah, there we go!” He turned to Fluttershy and squinted his eyes. “Now what were you saying? Something about starting tomorrow or something?”

Fluttershy pointed at the sun and said. “Well it’s almost midday, so we missed the dawn today, so we can’t start until tomorrow, right?”

Discord drew a deep sigh and beamed himself up on the rock again, Star Trek style. “My dear Fluttershy, you still don’t know who I am?” He pulled out piece string of licorice and fashioned a lasso out of it. He then threw it at the sun while whistling in an innocent manner. He proceeded to pull the sun down from the sky and thus making it dawn again.

He turned to Fluttershy and said. “Hello my name is Discord the living embodiment of chaos, I think we have meet before.

Fluttershy sighed in defeat and smiled at him. “Let’s start then. I’m ready for anything!”

“Now that’s the spirit!” Discord pulled out a pump, took the nozzle in his mouth and started pumping himself full of air, he stopped once his biceps was bigger than his head. Suddenly music started playing and Discord started singing.

He walked up to Fluttershy and poked her chest.

“Let's get down to business

To defeat your fears.

We'll need all the time we have

because there is a lot.”

He disappeared and reappeared behind Fluttershy thus making her scream

“You're the biggest coward I’ve ever met

But you can bet before we're through

Sister, I'll make a man

Out of you.”

Suddenly they were in a big flowery field.

“Cute as a flower

But fragile as a pearl.”

They they were under water.

“Once we find your bravery

You are sure to win.”

Discord stood behind her and sang into her ear, in pure darkness.

"You're a spineless, pale pathetic gal

And you haven't got a clue.

Somehow I'll make a man

Out of you."

They were back at the meadow by the cottage.

Fluttershy sang “I'm never gonna find my courage” She then looked over at Discord.

“But, I’m not giving up

And I hope that he won't either!”

A tiny red Discord appeared on Discord’s shoulder and sang

“You are scaring her to death!”

Discord sang outside of Fluttershy’s range of hearing.

“Maybe I should stop this right now

I care too much about her for her to get hurt!”

Suddenly a choir of tiny Discords appeared and sang

“BE A MAN!

We can’t stop now she is starting to bloom!

BE A MAN!

She’s got the will of a great typhoon

BE A MAN!

With the bravery of a mighty lion

But still cute and cuddly as a little cat!”

Discord looked over the horizon.

“Time is racing toward us

Soon she’ll be too weak

But she heeds my every order

I got faith in her!”

Fluttershy was laying on the ground panting for air and Discord sat down next to her.

“You have done your very best today and I'm proud

but we are done.”

Discord walked away and sat by the pond and sang with a sad look on his face.

“How could I make a man

Out of you?”

The Tiny Discord choir started to sing again.

“BE A MAN!

We can’t stop now she is starting to bloom!

BE A MAN!

She’s got the will of a great typhoon

BE A MAN!

With the bravery of a mighty lion

But still cute and cuddly as a little cat!”

The Tiny Discord choir sang once again.

“BE A MAN!

We can’t stop now she is starting to bloom!

BE A MAN!

She’s got the will of a great typhoon

BE A MAN!

With the bravery of a mighty lion

But still cute and cuddly as a little cat!”

“Hoo-ah!”

The music stopped and the tiny Discords disappeared.

Discord and Fluttershy was enjoying the sunset together, it had been a tough day full of jump scares and whatnot.

“So how did I do?” Fluttershy asked timidly.

Discord looked at her and smiled. “We are making progress, in a few day you will be as brave as a lion!” He picked her up and swung her around.

But he tripped and she landed right on his face.

They both started to laugh, they laughed for a while and then they looked deep into each other's eyes, their lips were slowly getting closer to each others and they were both thinking the same thing. But as we know fate is a butthole.

In the midst of their little moment Angel bunny interrupted, he squeaked angrily at Fluttershy.

“Oh, I’m sorry Angel, I’ll get you your dinner right away! I’m sorry but I gotta go.” She got up and walked back to her cottage with Angel.

She turned her head “I’ll see you tomorrow then?”

“Of course dear, I’ll be here sometime after lunch.” He waved at her as he took off into the air.

As Discord flew through the air he realised the he was feeling a sharp pain in his heart.

He stopped mid flight and opened a small panel to reveal his heart.

“Now let’s see what’s wrong with the old ticker.” He observed it closely. “Hmm, oil level is fine and so is the all the parts. Hmm I’m stumped.” He turned his heart one more time and noticed a small syringe piercing his heart and injecting some unknown pink substance, straight into his heart.

“Hmm what is this?” he pulled it out and looked at the conveniently placed label. “Love essence.....LOVE ESSENCE!” Discord landed on the ground, he put his heart back inside his body and closed the panel.

At first he was worried, but then he got the biggest, most joyful smile he had ever worn on his lips.

“Hahahah.” He laughed nervously. “She loves me...............But do I love her?”

He took off into the air again and soared slowly back to the castle. “I need some time to think about this. Maybe Celestia can help!” He flew inside the castle and started looking for Celestia.

“Celestia! Where are you? C'mon cakeflank, for once in my life I need........ your advice!” He peaked inside Celestia’s room and saw the she was reading Luna a bedtime story, all while embracing Luna tightly.

Discord teleported himself to his room and fell to the floor, with a thud. “HNGGGG, MY HEART!” He grabbed his chest right above his heart.

A few moments of intense heartbeats later he passed out. Love and adorableness does not mix well, so remember to be careful.

“ And the prince kissed the princess and they lived happily ever after.” Celestia shut the book and gave Luna a nuzzling. “So did you enjoy the story, little sister?”

Luna yawned and nodded. Celestia picked her up and carried her to her bed. “Well little sister, I still got some work to do. Will you be alright by yourself?”

Luna looked up at her sister and said. “I might look like a foal, but I promise that I’ll be fine. Go and finish up your work and I’ll see you tomorrow.” She ended with a big smile.

Celestia smiled back at her sister and left the room, leaving a small gap between the door and the wall open, so she would hear if Luna was crying or something.

The moon was shining as it always would, but the stars were acting strange this eve. Luna would normally have noticed such a thing, but in her current state she had other things that occupied her mind.

He fear of the dark had returned to her, she was shivering like a scared puppy beneath the sheets. `I’m not scared of the dark, the night is my friend, it won’t hurt me and there is no such things as shadow fiends.´ Luna tried desperately to comfort herself with encouraging thoughts.

But to no avail.

She was scared and there was only one pony who could make her feel better, but she was busy with other things. Luna wanted to cry, but she didn't want to be more trouble than she had already been.

Her sister had to reschedule her entire day, just to be there for her and now when she finally had some time to work, The last thing Luna wanted was to to bother her further.

Luna’s tears fell silently in the night and she did everything in her power not to make a sound.

Suddenly a powerful force appeared out of nowhere and manifested itself inside the room, it walked up to the bed. Luna sensed it and cried even harder, even when she was trying her best not to be a bother, she failed.

She moved the covers from her head and sniffled. “I’m sowwy, I’ll be good.” Luna opened her eyes and to her surprise it was not her sister that was standing beside her, it was the same entity she had seen while traveling through space.

What was it doing here and what did it want?

Luna wanted to scream, but something about the entities aura feel familiar and comforting.

Without thinking, Luna raised her hooves and whimpered, she was picked up and held by the shapeless entity, it hugged her tightly and rocked her slowly from side to side.

Luna’s fears were melting away and she was overcome by a warm and gentle feeling, she could not remember the last time she had felt this safe.

Luna quickly fell asleep in the entities grasp and she was gently put back into the bed, but the moment it let go of her, she started to whimper.

The entity looked up at the night sky, it held out a limb and a star descended down from the sky, It then molded the star into a fuzzy white spider plush, with blue eyes, it handed the plush to Luna who hugged it tightly and started sucking on her hoof.

The entity kissed Luna’s forehead and faded away back into the darkness of which it came.

Fluttershy had given Angel his dinner and was heading to bed, she was going through everything that had happened today.

She had have so much fun, Discord was a real sweetheart after all, but she already knew that, even though he tried to hide it for some reason.

She got into bed and pulled the covers up to her face and shut her eyes, within seconds she was asleep.

Meanwhile Discord was still laying practically dead on the floor from a cuteness overload, he twitched a little now and then. But point being he was out for the night.

But not every part of Discord was out cold, his tail sprung to life, it morphed into a finger and let out an audible snap, a hushed wicked laughter echoed throughout the night.

Fluttershy was enjoying her dreams and was sleeping tightly, she was completely unaware of the fact that her body was glowing with a familiar yellow light. The curse which had been planted had been awakened and was free to ravage it’s victim.

Fluttershy’s dreams went from happiness and sunshine to a dark and twisted nightmare of grand scale, she was sweating, panting and she wanted nothing but to wake from the nightmare which haunted her.

But as we know fate is a butthole and she suffered all throughout the night.

It was early morning and Grayscale was finally back to the place he called home.

He was still worried about his goddess, so she slithered up the stairs and into her bedroom. To his great surprise his goddess was nowhere to be seen. But something was moving around in her bed.

`A mouse perhaps? Probably a new houseguest, I should introduce myself and lay down the basics for it.´ Grayscale slithered into the bed and pulled the covers away with his fangs. Standing before him was his goddess, a whole lot smaller, but it was still her.

Fluttershy turned around to see a giant snake. “Epp!” A yellow aura engulfed her and she got even smaller.

Fluttershy’s eyes were filled with tears and she was terrified. “What is happening to me?”

Grayscale lowered himself to the mattress and looked at his tiny goddess. He saw fear in her eyes. He could only think of one creature capable of something like this. “Discord!” He hissed angrily.

Fluttershy looked at huge snake again and realised that it was her old friend Grayscale. “Oh, Grayscale, I’m so happy to see you! Please can you take me to Twilight, you remember Twilight right?”

Grayscale scratched his chin with the tip of his tail. `Twilight........Twilight..........who the heck is Twilight?´ He pondered.

Fluttershy noticed that he was having trouble remembering, she tried to think of something that could trigger his memory. She clapped her hooves together thus gaining Grayscale’s attention.

“She is the purple mare that you scared, when I accidently left you in her bed a few weeks ago, she lives in the big tree in the center of town. Do you remember?” Fluttershy bit her lip.

'Tree. Purple. Scared..........Oh yeah, she is the one who wet herself and looked like she was staring straight into death’s eyes.´ He nodded his head.

Fluttershy’s mood got way brighter and she smiled happily. “Great! Umm, can you take me to her, you think, please?” But her mood fell flat in an instant, how was she going to get there.

Even with Grayscale’s help it would be incredibly dangerous considering her size, and she did not want to risk getting any smaller.

Grayscale noticed the distress in her eyes and slithered off the bed and into the closet, he returned shortly with a big balloon in his mouth, he spat it out on the bed and motioned for Fluttershy to get inside.

She had no clue what he was planning but she trusted him, once she was inside.

Grayscale forced his head inside and tied the balloon with his tail.

“What are you planning to do? If you don’t mind me asking that is.”

Grayscale knew she was unable to understand him perfectly, but he tried anyway. “Get on my neck and hold tight.” To his surprise that is exactly what she did.

“Um, like this?” Fluttershy clinged to his neck.

Grayscale nodded and started to blow air into the balloon, a few moments later they hovered into the air and hit the roof with a soft thud.

Fluttershy was at a loss for words, how was this possible, it broke several laws of physics, but then she remembered that she got that balloon from her friend Pinkie Pie, so she just allowed it to slip.

Grayscale started spinning his tail like a propeller blade and set course to Ponyville library.

Author's Note

New chapter and more is on the way.
I hope you enjoy the chapter it was a tad annoying to write a certain part about a song.

Thanks to my Awesome editor Draxco as usual.

Chapter 4: Am I changing?

The once beautiful land of Equestria is aflame, the wicked green flames of chaos will eventually devour the entire world and in the middle of all this destruction, stands the living embodiment of chaos.

Her wicked laughter is echoing through the shattered world, she is enjoying every second of the pain and suffering she is causing upon the mortals that once lived in peace in this world.

Celestia has fallen and her once yellow sun, has been split into four green orbs which are constantly burning one of the corners of the world.

nothing will survive this onslaught. God has abandoned this realm and moved on.

The elements of harmony have been fallen and the gems have been forged into a green, pink, striped crown which she wears around her head, by her side is a massive white snake with flaming green eyes, who will serve her untill the end of time.

Stomping her hoof into the ground she causes yet another earthquake, shattering even the mightiest off mountains.

The rivers run red with the blood of the innocent, the once green meadows have been burnt to the ground and now there is only ashes, all the flowers that once bloomed in the world have been replaced with colorful candy canes.

The world is in pain, is there no one who can help? Is there no one who can end the suffering of the world?

She sits upon her black throne, playing innocently with the few living creatures whom are left in this world. Her father standing behind her with a proud smile upon his lips.

A massive twin headed dragon, one head as black as the night and the other head white as the first snowflake that gracefully falls upon the world.

Once upon a time they represented the balance between chaos and harmony, but as chaos devours the world, the white head is slowly dying and the black head grows in strength with every passing second.

The second child of chaos have manage to fulfil the task the first child failed to do, much to their fathers content.

The first child abandoned his duty as the counterweight to harmony thus leading to the birth of the second child.

Her pink hair, malformed skeletal limbs and the three eyes of ever changing color which don her beautiful face, those are her distinct features that no mortal would ever forget. Sadly there are no mortals left alive in this world, so her features will fade away in the never ending stream that is time.

Nailed to a wall, formed by the spirits of the ones that loved him and everyone that he failed.

The first child of chaos is a pathetic waste of air compared to his younger sibling, her precise control, massive power and lust for blood, made her the perfect child.

The father is pleased with the work of his second child, there is only one task remaining for her.

Killing her useless brother thus shattering the last strand of harmony and releasing the true power of chaos upon the universe.

“GO FORTH MY CHILD, KILL YOUR BROTHER AND ALLOW CHAOS TO ROAM THE UNIVERSE!” The father said, his voice rumbling like a thunderstorm.

The second child stood before her brother, smiling innocently like a child. “Okay daddy!”

Her hands split into thousands of black tentacles, each once sharper than the other, so the pain she would cause upon her brother would be as unpredictable as herself.

The first child looked at his sister and said. “This is not who you are. Don’t let that snake of a father control you.” He said with a gasp.

The second child tilted her head and her lips formed into a such a wide, wicked grin that her chins broke and her black blood slithered down her face. She licked her blood and proceeded to devour her own head. “Yummy! I taste like pink frosted sprinkled donuts!” Her head slowly growing back as she chewed on her old head.

“This is not who you are. Don’t let that snake-” The first child was interrupted by his sister.

“SNAKE! SNAKEY COME HERE!” The giant white snake did as his goddess commanded him.

“Snakey, you always hated my brother right?”

The giant snake glanced at the first child and nodded.

The second child squealed with delight, she kissed her massive servant and whispered. “Kill.”

The snake roared and sank its fangs into the first childs body. His fangs penetrated the weak flesh that holds his body together, the first child screamed in agony. The second child laughed happily like a child who had gotten a new toy to play with.

Stuck onto the fangs of the snake, the first child was gasping for air as he choked on his own blood. He coughed violently, his blood going everywhere.

Inside the mouth of the snake, the second child was bathing in the blood falling from her brothers body, she opened her mouth and drunk deep from her brothers blood.

She licked her lips and smiled. “You taste like chocolate milk!”

“DAUGHTER. PLAYTIME IS OVER, END HIS PATHETIC EXISTENCE AND DADDY WILL GIVE YOU A PRESENT!”

The moment the second child heard the word present she leaped into action.

Seemingly out of nowhere she pulled out a scythe fashioned by what looked like a big candy cane.

She hovered up to her brother and raised the scythe, the wicked smile on her lips would put even the Joker to shame.

“Bye bye, big brother!”

The scythe came closer to his neck and he screamed. “FLUTTERSHY!” His scream came quickly to an end as his head rolled down the snakes throat.

Both the Father and the second child laughed as the green flames of chaos consumed what remained of the world.

Discord awoke with a scream and as usual, Discord got hit by the pipping hot water, he hovered into the air, thus leading to him swallowing the bar of soap in his mouth, he gagged, slipped on the oil on the ground and with the speed of a oiled up draconis, he slammed into a giant block of ice, this time shaped as a big butt, his head emerging from between the buttchecks.

Discord sighed. “Oh, hahaha. I’m a buttface, hilarious!” he rolled his eyes.

Discord teleported himself back inside his room and sat down. “Why does this happen everyday?” He remembered his dream. “But more importantly what the heck kind of dream was that? I mean wow, I think we need to change the rating from E to Teen.

Discord got slapped by a mouse cursor and a straight line started typing out a sentence in bright yellow text, in front of him.

“STOP BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL, GOD DANGIT!” The text read.

Discord grabbed the cursor and tied it to a fishing rod and threw it out over the document, which the story is written on. The cursor was going all over the document, clicking on everything and altering the layout of the story so far. thus leading to more work for the author.

“PLEASE STOP!” The text read, in a sad blue text.

Discord reeled the cursor back in and released it. “Now what have we learned?” He tapped his tallon on his chin.

“That Discord does whatever he wants and he’s got more swag than I will ever have. :( “

The text read, in black text.

Discord nodded his head and threw a trophy at the screen, it broke the Authors screen and hit him in the head. “First prize good work! But never say that I have swag ever again. Everyone know that I have class. Swags is only for little boys like you.”

“F%¤k you, I’m leaving!” The text read, in an angry red shade.

Discord shrugged and forgot all about his disturbing dream. He rowed a boat down the hallway of the castle, he was looking through a telescope as he made his way forward.

“Ah, there she blows!” he said as he laid eye upon Celestia’s flank. He got out of the S,S Tiny boat and walked up to her.

“Good Morning Celestia, such a wonderful day, is it not?” He glanced around her, but to his surprise Luna was nowhere to be found. “So where is Lulu today? I want to throw her up and down, while saying sugar coated baby related words to her.

“Discord. For your information Luna is taking her afternoon nap and the time for good morning have long passed.” Celestia said as she walked past him.

Discord knew that something was wrong, Celestia was never this cold to him. “Is this about the mustache?” He floated through the air right next to her and grabbed her face. “Here let me remove it.” He manifested a permanent white marker and colored over the mustache.

Celestia batted his hand away and gave him a death stare. “I got rid of that stupid mustache yesterday. Now leave me alone I need some time to think.”

Discord snapped his talon and teleported himself and Celestia, to a beautiful grove filled with flowers, cakes and a big heart shaped bed.

“Now tell me what’s bothering you or I’ll eat all this cake by myself.” He said as he stuffed his face with cake.

Celestia knew there was no escaping him when he had his mind set on something. “Fine, give me a slice of cake and a cup of tea and I’ll talk.” She sighed.

“Splendid!” Discord poured Celestia a cup of tea, he then put a whole cake in front of her and sliced it into tiny pieces. She rolled her eyes and a small laugh escaped her mouth.

Discord hovered in front of Celestia, he placed his hands under his chin and looked at her. `She truly is a beauty, but she is not my type of girl.´ The mere thought of them being together made Discord snort loudly.

“Spill the beans and don’t hold back on the juicy details!”

Celestia put her cup down and sighed. “I’m worried about Luna, last night I found her sleeping with a spider plushy and sucking on her hoof.

I fear that she might be regressing mentally and I have never seen that plushy before.

I can’t describe it, but, there is something odd about it, the aura surrounding it, is familiar but I can’t quite place my hooves at it.”

Discord sat down on a pillow and tugged at his beard. “I think you are overreacting, about the whole Luna regressing thing. I mean, when this happened to you, you were acting a lot more juvenile than usual.

That plush however, if you can’t figure something out about it. Then maybe I can, I’ll take a look at it and try to figure it out.

Don’t worry about Lulu, mental regression is a rare occurrence, even with a regressed body, the chances of ones mind reverting to the same state that the body is currently in, is one in two hundred thousand twenty seven and a half to one.

Unless there is a greater power at bay, interfering with her recovery. But I doubt that.”

“I’m still worried. But I’m grateful and surprised that you are taking this somewhat serious, what’s happening to you? Lately you have been acting a bit more rational than usual.”

Discord’s eyes widened in horror. Was he losing his touch, when was the last time he did something chaotic?

Discord blew a raspberry at Celestia and snapped his fingers, transforming the bed into a giant marshmallow, summoning several rainbow pooping poptart cats into the air, calling forth several cotton candy clouds, raining chocolate milk everywhere and finally the Kraken appeared out of a pond filled with chocolate milk, flailing its tentacles all over the place. “I’m sorry, did you say something?

Celestia sighed, shook her head and looked at him.

Discord sighed and clapped his hands together, making everything disappear. “Well I kind of feel guilty about the whole thing with Luna and also I........................... I think I might be in......Lo- You know what nevermind!”

Celestia walked up to him and laid a hoof on his shoulder. “Is there something bothering you Discord?”

Discord scratched the back of his neck and started mumbling to himself. She embraced him in a hug and said. “You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.

Regardless, thanks for helping me and Luna.” She broke the hug and walked back to her mountain of cake and cup of tea.

Discord laid down on the bed and continued to mumble to himself. Was he truly changing? What was he doing differently, from before? So many questions and yet he had no answers to them. Suddenly his dream flashed before his eyes, he grabbed his head and roared in pain.

He rolled of the bed still clutching his head, he had a hard time breathing and he was coughing up blood. Celestia ran up to him and picked him up, using a levitation spell, she teleported to the infirmary and called for Doctor Scalpel. Discord continued to cough up blood, until he eventually passed out.

Inside the ponyville library sat a very uncomfortable Twilight and a nervous Fluttershy.

Fluttershy was standing on Twilight’s coffee table, Grayscale had wrapped himself around her, he would not let anything get close to her, the mere chance of her getting scared and shrinking further was the last thing he wanted to see.

“And when I woke up I was like this.” Fluttershy said her, voice barely audible.

Twilight was doing her best to listen to what her friend was saying, but the big black snake on the table was making her sweat, she remembered that snake, it was that snake that had scared her half to death, not to long ago.

And now it was glaring at her, observing her every movement, if she tried to get closer to Fluttershy it would hiss at her and bare its fangs at her.

“Well, I would say that this is most likely one of Discord’s pranks and he can probably fix it, but I can give it a try if you want me to.” Twilight glanced at Grayscale and felt a shiver go down her spine.

“Does he have to be here? He is creeping me out.”

Fluttershy looked up at Grayscale, his eyes were focused on Twilight, but he occasionally glanced to his side to make sure that she was okay. “Well I can ask him to leave.”

She tapped Grayscale on his cheek and said. “Grayscale, don’t take this the wrong way, I’m happy that you are helping me and all, but you are making Twilight uncomfortable.

So would you mind waiting outside for a moment?”

Grayscale turned his head and looked at his goddess, normally he would never defy her will, but right now he was dead set on staying by her side, he did not trust the purple unicorn that his goddess referred to as Twilight, and that pet of hers reminded him of Discord. There was no way he was leaving his goddess in the care of strangers.

“Forgive me my, goddess, at this time I can’t leave your side. I won’t risk it, please forgive my disobedience. I will accept any punishment once you return to normal.”

Fluttershy enjoyed his voice, it was deep and cold, but it radiated with his love for her. His voice reminded her of her late father, it made her feel calm and less jumpy, which was just what she needed at the time.

She turned around and looked at Twilight. “I’m sorry he says that he refuses to leave my side, due to the state I’m currently in. I’m sorry.”

Twilight sighed “I knew you could understand animals somewhat good, but it seems like you can understand everything he is saying. Can you?”

Fluttershy looked at Twilight and smiled. “Yes, for some reason, ever since this happened to me, I’ve been able to understand animals perfectly, Grayscale at least, I have not had the time to try it on any other animal, due to obvious reasons.”

“Interesting, anyhow. I can’t concentrate with him in here.” She rose from her seat.

She called for her number one assistant. "Spike! Can you come here I need some help.”

Spike arrived in the room and saw Grayscale laying on the table, he flinched, he was such a big snake and his glare was enough to make Spike’s knees shake. “Yes, Twilight, what is it?”

“Would you kindly, take that snake outside for a moment.” Twilight pointed at Grayscale, he hissed in at her sudden movement and wrapped Fluttershy closer to himself.

Spike nodded and walked up to the table, he reached out with his claw and tried not to look into Grayscale’s eyes.

But Spike failed, he meet his gaze, he suddenly felt smaller than usual and the snake before him seemed to be towering over him. Spike fell to the ground and crawled backwards, never breaking eye contact with the snake, once he reached the door he stood up and reached for the door. “I-i-i-i-i... I’m sorry Twilight I promised to help Rarity with something.” He then bolted out the door, screaming in fear.

Grayscale smirked and returned his gaze to Twilight, he hissed at her, letting her know that it was pointless to try anything.

Twilight sighed and walked closer to the table. “Fine, I’ll just levitate you out of here!” Her horn started glowing and Grayscale was engulfed in a purple glow and levitated off the table, away from Fluttershy.

Grayscale let out a hissing roar, it was unlike anything both Twilight and Fluttershy had ever heard. He gave Twilight a death stare and bared his fangs at her and struggled to break free from her grasp.

Fluttershy was worried that something bad was going to happen. “Twilight! Please put him down, he is getting angry!”

Twilight was shaking, but she had no reason to fear him, he was trapped and he was not going anywhere. “It’s fine Fluttershy, he can’t break out, I’ll be back once he is outside.”

But love is a powerful force, in his struggle to break free, his rage grew beyond anything he had ever felt before. The mere thought of leaving his defenseless goddess made his blood boil. His rage was so strong that it revived his since long dried up venom sacks, thus letting it flow freely along his long fangs.

Grayscale was not late to notice it, he manage to whip himself forward, launching a lethal dose of venom straight into Twilight’s eyes.

This caused Twilight to scream in pain, thus dropping him from her magical grasp.

Grayscale wrapped himself around her neck and was about to sink his fangs into her neck and kill her.

But the voice of his goddess stopped him, she was hovering in front of him, smaller than before and she was yelling angrily at him.

“GRAYSCALE! HOW COULD YOU DO SUCH A THING? RELEASE HER RIGHT NOW OR ELSE I’ll NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU EVER AGAIN!” Smoke steamed form Fluttershy’s nostrils and she was giving him.The STARE.

The mere thought of never being allowed to see her again was enough to send him into a deep depression. He slithered off Twilight and hid under a bookshelf, tears were flowing down his face and his rage quickly died down.

`What have I done? I scared her, my actions made her even weaker than before.

I’m no better than the monster I hate and now my goddess will hate me forever........ I have nothing to live for.´ Grayscale tried to strangle himself with his tail, but to little success.

Fluttershy landed on her friends face and looked over the damage, her old friend had caused. She had no clue what kind of snake Grayscale was, so she had no clue how dangerous his venom was, but she knew that she needed to get Twilight to wash her eyes, quickly, otherwise the possible damage could be irreversible.

“Twilight! Wake up, you need to wash your eyes!” She said tears running down her face. Twilight was not moving at all and her breathing was getting more and more unstable.

She was pressed for options, in her current state she would be unable to reach the hospital in time, she had to ask Grayscale for help, she had no other choice.

She hovered in under the bookshelf where Grayscale had disappeared beneath. She heard a scuffling sound and followed it.

Before her laid a white snake with tears flowing down it’s face. She was uncertain if it was Greyscale, but she saw no other snakes around and she doubted the mere thought of another snake living inside the library.

She walked up to the white snake and tapped on its snout. “Grayscale is that you?”

The white snake opened his eyes, they were an intense green color, they were truly beautiful. It looked at her and opened its mouth. “Forgive me, goddess, I know it means nothing to you, but I have shed the sins of my body together with my own skin and now I pray that you will allow me to serve you once more.” His voice was sad, he was truly devastated by what he had done.

Fluttershy hugged his snout and smiled warmly at him. “It’s okay, I forgive you. Do you mind if I call you Whitescale from now on?”

“I will carry any name for you my goddess, I’m your servant and I will never leave you side.”

Fluttershy got lost in the moment, but then she remembered about her friend's condition. “That is great. But we need to help Twilight, right now!” She grabbed ahold of his neck and they were quickly by Twilight’s side.

“We need to wake her up, she needs to wash her eyes and then go to the hospital!”

Whitescale slithered up to Twilight’s ear and hissed loudly. This caused Twilight to wake with a jolt and she screamed loudly. “AHHHHHHHHH!” she held her hooves over her eyes and ran to the bathroom.

The sounds of pouring water could be heard from insider, along with several pain filled grunt and moans.

When Twilight finally got out of the bathroom, her eyes were bright red and tears were streaming down her face. She levitated a book to herself and opened a chapter on healing spells, she read it as good as she could and focused her magic on her swollen eyes.

Her eyes quickly returned to their normal state and she sighed in relief.

She walked up to Fluttershy and casted a spell on her and sat back down by the coffee table.

Whitescale hissed at her, but calmed himself with some deep breaths.

Twilight looked at him, with anger in her eyes. “Take it easy, Snake! I only amplified her voice so I can hear her better.” She said with snort.

Whitescale looked at his goddess, he carried her inside his mouth and ascended to the top of the table. He then curled up around her, just like before, his eyes glued to Twilight, despite everything that had happen, he still had no reason to trust her.

Fluttershy looked at Twilight and sobbed. “I’m sorry, but I told you to let him go.” She cried into her hooves, much to Whitescale’s displeasement.

Twilight looked at her friend and her ears fell flat on her head. “I’m not angry at you, Fluttershy. And I’m not angry at him either, he is just an animal, I should have known better........... Anyhow, feel free to stay here, I’ll start looking for something that can cure you and once Spike returns, I’ll send a letter to Princess Celestia, asking her to send him to Ponyville.”

Fluttershy, looked up at her friend and a tiny smile crept up on her lips. “Thank you, Twilight. But I still don’t want to believe that Discord would do something like this, he is not a bad guy anymore.”

Twilight gritted her teeth and mumbled something under her breath. “Well that remains to be seen.”

She walked over to her books and started going through them. “Oh, and if there is anything you need just tell me, I’ll do anything I can to keep you from shrinking further.

Fluttershy smiled. “Thanks, Twilight, you are a true friend.

Several hours passed and the sun was setting over the horizon.

Inside the royal Infirmary, Discord was laying down on a bed, shaking violently, sweating heavily, his breathing was harsh and he was still coughing blood. “Get away from her, you beast!” He said in his sleep.

Author's Note

Here we go, another chapter.
Hope you like it, and as always more is on the way.

Thanks to my awesome editor Draxco as usual. <3

Chapter 5: Father. Unedited.

The moon had climbed to the peak of the night and its soft glow bathed the village of Ponyville in an beautiful yet eerie light. Most of the village residents had since long gone to bed, but there was one house that the night had yet to claim.

Inside the Ponyville library sat,Twilight sparkle, her friend Fluttershy and The snake knows as Whitescale. They had spent the entire afternoon and most of the evening trying to figure out a way to cure Fluttershy.
But they had come out empty handed. They had come to the conclusion that they had to wait for Discord to come back and that he would hopefully be able to fix this whole mess.

Twilight Sparkle was sitting on the floor in the main room. She had earlier that day gone out and bought a dollhouse for Fluttershy to sleep in.

“I hope you don’t mind sleeping inside a dollhouse, but it was the only thing I could think off.” Twilight said.

Fluttershy had crawled into the tiny bed and had made herself comfortable. “Oh no, not at all. This bed is actually way more comfortable than it looks. So I’ll be fine.”

“Okay then, just tell me if you need anything. *Yawn* I’m going to bed. I’ll see you in the morning. Sleep tight, Fluttershy. Twilight, extinguished some of the candles in her house, she let one of the candles stay lit, on the table next to the dollhouse.

“Goodnight, Twilight.”

Twilight retired upstairs and fell asleep quickly.
Whitescale had laid himself in a circle around the dollhouse. He would keep watch over Fluttershy for the rest of the night.
He knew that he needed to stay awake incase she had a nightmare or something. The last thing they needed would be for Fluttershy to shrink even further.

“Do not fear my, goddess. I’ll keep an eye on you through the night. I won’t let anything get near you. I swear upon my everlasting loyalty to you!”

Fluttershy was happy for everything Whitescale had done for her. Still she was very sad over this whole ordeal.
Had Discord done this just for laughs? or was it truly just an accident?
She wanted to believe that it was an accident, but he was the living embodiment of chaos afterall and it had merely been three months since she had helped reforming him.

“Would you mind placing the end of your tail in the bed? I know that sounds weird, but it will make me feel safer if I could hug you. I always do. I mean if it’s okay with you.” She said quietly.

Whitescale place the end of his tail into her tiny bed. “Like this I’ll be able to feel your presence better. So it’s a win win situation. Also if you for some reason left the bed I would get to know instantly. Besides I’ll do anything to aid you. I hope you know that.”

She hugged his tail tightly. “Do you think he did this to me just for laughs?” Tears started forming in her eyes as she spoke.

“I don’t like him at all, but I would be a liar if I said yes. He seems to care about you just as much as I do, but I’m not ruling out the possibility…….. And If I find out that he did it……..I’ll kill him!” Whitescale bared his fangs and hissed loudly.

Fluttershy dried her tears. “Okay. Can you promise me that you you’ll always be by my side?”

Whitescale proceeded to stick his head into the dollhouse. He stopping only inches away from Fluttershy. “I will never leave your side no matter what. I Swear upon my life!” He nuzzled Fluttershy’s cheek with the tip of his snout.

Fluttershy in return hugged his snout. “Thank you.”

“The night is long my, goddess. You should try to get some sleep.” He retracted his head and regained his watchful stance.

Fluttershy pulled the covers over her body and laid her head to rest against the soft pillows. She shut her eyes and soared away to the land of dreams.

Discord awoke late at night.
His head was pounding and he was suffering from frequent flashbacks of that horrible dream he suffered through the other day.

Her laughter would not fade from his mind. A laugh so pure and innocent, yet so full of malice that it would bring any beast to its knees.

He clutched his head in a futile attempt to rid himself from her laugh. He threw the blanket off his body and got out of bed.
He walked out on the balcony and gazed up at the stars, but even in the shining stars he would see her. That disfigured version of Fluttershy that wanted nothing besides killing him.

“A second child of chaos……………. Why? And how?” Discord laid down on the balcony. The cold winds felt nice as they slithered against his wounded body.

Why was this happening? All he wanted was to tell Fluttershy that he loved her. Sadly he feared that the dream was more than just a regular nightmare. What If that dream was a vision of the future. Then how could he possibly go through with it?

He closed his eyes and wished for peace. The peace that he longed for never came to him. Instead he was greeted by a pair of massive fangs. They belonging to the white snake in his nightmare.

The pain of getting penetrated by that monster overcame him. He rolled over on his stomach and tried to push himself onto his four legs. However the moment he did a sharp pain overcame him and he once again vomited blood.

He lost his footing and fell into the red puddle that had formed beneath him. “He- Hel- Help!...........” His call for help was drowned out by the very same winds that had offered him comfort mere moments ago.

“Any- Anyone…….. help me………FATHER OF CHAOS! WHY DO YOU TORTURE ME!” He screamed at the top of his lungs. Before everything became black and he passed out.

The night grew darker, the winds grew colder and rain started falling from the heavens. Is there no one in this world that can help him?

Doctor Scalpel was sitting by his desk. He was trying to figure out a way to help the Draconequus. It was unlike anything he had ever treated before. He hated the entire thing, he felt so helpless.
His eyes grew heavier, he proceeded to remove his glasses and rubbing his eyes. He grabbed his cup only to realize that it was empty. He grabbed a tiny bell on his desk and ringed it.

“Yes, doctor?” A young nurse said as she poked her head inside his office.

“How is the, Draconequus doing?”

The nurse entered his office with nervous steps. “There have been no changes in his condition, Doctor.”

“Sigh…...I expected nothing else. Keep me informed. Also before you leave bring me more coffee.”

“Yes, Doctor!” The young mare grabbed his cup and quickly exited his office.

He rubbed his eyes again and a yawn escaped from his mouth. ´This chair is way too comfy.` Those were the last words that went through his mind before sleep grabbed a hold of him.

Discord regained his consciousness and pulled himself back onto his legs. He rubbed his eyes and looked around.

Fire!…..The green flames of chaos were everywhere, burning anything that came into their path. He saw a familiar cottage in the center of the flames. It belonged to Fluttershy and her screams could be heard from miles away.

“No….NO!” Discord screamed as he tried using his magic to put them out. Sadly to no avail, they only grew bigger the more he tried.

Ignoring the flames he dove straight through them. The pain caused by the flames were nothing compared to the possibility of losing his dearest Fluttershy.
He refused to abandon the only one he had ever loved. She was in trouble and he was not going to stop until she laid safely in his arms.

He pushed on getting closer and closer. He tore the door down.

“FLUTTERSHY!”

He looked all over the burning cottage but she was nowhere to be found. He was starting to lose hope, but a familiar scream coming from outside caught his attention. “Fluttershy!” He crashed through the window and landed in her yard.
He quickly got to his feet and ran towards the source of the screaming.

On a nearby meadow, standing tall in the center of the flames. The father of chaos with his hand clenched tightly around Fluttershy’s neck.
She was gasping for air and the father was grinning like a madman. The flames came to life from beneath the Father’s feet.

“FLUTTERSHY!” Discord yelled.

The father turned his head and shot him an impatient glare. Once their eyes meet he quickly resumed to whatever he was doing to Fluttershy and completely ignoring the child of chaos.

Discord threw himself at the father. “YOU MONSTER! LET GO OFF HER! He slammed into the father’s back. This causing him to drop Fluttershy.

Discord grabbed the father hands and pushed him to the ground. “I’LL KILL YOU FOR THIS!”

“Hahahaha! You can’t kill anything. You worthless waste of life. “ The father’s voice was the pure embodiment of evil. His words so cold, that ice formed on Discord’s face.

He brushed Discord off his body just as easy as he would with dust or similar worthless dirt. Discord slammed hard into the base of a tree. The impact knocked the air out of his lungs and he laid on the ground gasping for air.

The father walked up to him and grabbed him by the tail. He proceeded to slam him into the ground several times. Until finally Discord’s tail broke free from his lower body. this sent him flying into the burning remains of the cottage.
The father’s eyes wandered back to Fluttershy who was cowering in fear as tears were streaming down her cheeks.
Not even in her worst nightmares had she ever seen anything like this. She was praying for someone to save her.

But her prayers came to a halt as the Father of Chaos once again grabbed her by the throat.

“Now my dear. Let’s finish what we started. “

Fluttershy wanted to scream, but the grip on her throat was too strong.
She glanced over at her burning cottage hoping that Discord would come to her rescue.

The Father of Chaos used his free hand to reach inside of her. His hand passed straight through her. It was like she was made out of air, but surprisingly this caused her no pain at all.
Unfortunately the sight alone was enough to make her sick and she vomited on the father’s hand. He however paid no thought to it.

Discord laid inside the burning cottage. He rose to his feet only to fall down again, the injuries caused by his father were too great and he was lucky to be alive.

“No……..I won’t let it end like this………..I WON’T LET IT END LIKE THIS!” He flapped his wings with such force that he broke the sound barrier as he catapulted himself through the air towards the father.

Discord, put every last bit of his power into his griffin talon and it started to glow with a bright yellow light. The father was going to pay for this.

“DIE!!!!!!!!” Discord’s talon pierced the father’s chest all the way to his heart and Discord tore it out and threw it into the fires.

The father’s face turned pale and he fell to the ground, but his fist never loosened up its grip on Fluttershy’s throat.

“Don’t worry, Fluttershy I’ll save you!” All the colors in Discord’s face slowly faded and he looked like he was about to fall over and die at any moment.
He tore his fathers hand from Fluttershy’s neck and proceeded to hug her tightly. “I love you and I swear…...I’ll keep you safe.” He said, tears running down his face.

Fluttershy returned the hug her eyes overflowed with tears, but this was not tears of fear. They were tears of joy.

“I Lov-” Fluttershy’s words came to a sudden halt and she was once again gasping for air.

“FLUTTERSHY!”

Discord looked over where his father’s body was supposed to be laying, but it was gone.
Discord could not believe it. Where had it gone?

Fluttershy was viciously torn from his arms. She was hovering in the air gasping for air the now severed arm of the father was once again choking her.
The Father of Chaos walked up to her and reconnected his arm to his heartless body. He phrased his hand through her body and grabbed a hold of her spine. With a single motion he separated her head from her body.

The nightmare inducing sound of Fluttershy snapping in half threw Discord’s mind into panic. His stomach turned itself inside out and blood traveled up his throat at the same rate as it gushed from Fluttershy’s decapitated body.

The Father of Chaos threw her head so it landed perfectly in front if Discord’s face. This caused, Discord to throw up yet again.
He fell to the ground feeling like everything he ever cared for in his entire life crumbling and crashing down upon him.
His hopes and dreams had been shattered. He did the only thing he could do. He cried like the worthless piece of filth that he was.

“Insolent child!” The Father of Chaos roared.

He threw Fluttershy’s body into the flames and walked up to the crying Discord. “I watched with pride as you grew into a weapon of Righteousness. Because when my life come to and you were supposed to carry on my legacy. You were my finest creation and this is how you repay me! You Ungrateful worm!” The father kicked him hard. This sent Discord flying far away at a dangerous speed.

Discord slammed into the side of a mountain the impact alone shattered every bone in his body and the cold hand of death clutched his immortal soul.
The father slapped the hand of death away and grabbed hold of Discord
He allowed Discord to rest against his chest for a few seconds just to make sure that he stayed alive and then he tore his eyelids off.“Before I allowed death to claim your pathetic soul. We shall watch this world burn to the ground. As father and son. Hahahahaha!” The father’s evil laugh echoed as the flames consumed the world.

Discord did not care anymore. The world could burn for all he cared. A world without Fluttershy was not a world worth living in.

The rain had gone from a soft drizzle to a full blown storm. The winds were cold and Discord was still laying outside. His life was coming to an end. Could this truly be his final chapter?

We all know that fate is a butthole. Fortunately. Sometimes even fate can be altered.

A large hooded entity stood above Discord. With the flick of its wrist he stopped the elements of the world from ravaging the area around him.
The ancient laws of the world were ignored by this powerful entity.It reached out with its hand and touched Discord’s forehead. A single tear fell from its yellow eyes.
It reached down and took Discord into its big arms. It carried him back to the bed and tucked him in.
A chair materialized beneath it as it sat down. It’s hand slowly hovered over Discord’s wounded body healing most of the injuries. With a sigh of relief it stood up again.
The chair vanished as it stood up.

It bent over and embraced Discord in a soft hug.

“Jag förstår inte varför du avskyr mig med hela ditt hjärta. Men jag kommer aldrig att göra dig illa.
jag älskar dig like mycket nu som jag gjorde den dagen du föddes.
Vi kommer att ses snart min son.”

The entity faded away into the night, like it had never been at all. For the first time in millenniums Discord was able to enjoy a good nights rest.

The nurse returned to Doctor Scalpel’s room. She place a cup of warm coffee on his table and gently nudged the Doctor awake before leaving.

He rubbed his eyes and yawned widely. “Coffee! Thank the heavens.” Just as he was about to take a sip the door slammed open.

“Doctor! Discord’s injuries.”

This caused Doctor Scalpel to drop his coffee. He ran towards Discord’s room. “What about his injuries!?”

He entered the room and saw Discord sleeping soundly. He was in shock this Draconequus was dying a few minutes ago and now it was sleeping like a baby.

“As you can see. They are gone.”

“Amazing.”

The rest of the night went on smoothly. Doctor Scalpel still kept a close watch over him. After all he was an unpredictable creature and It was impossible to anticipate anything.

Fluttershy shoot up from her sleep her heart was beating fast and she was hyperventilating. She had no clue as to why she had woken up so suddenly.She could feel in her heart that something was wrong.
She got out of her tiny bed and flew over to Twilight’s bathroom. She landed on the sink and tried to figure out how she was going to turn the nozzle on the faucet.She hovered up to the handle and tried turning it, but with her current body she was too weak.
Her lower lip quivered and a few tears flowed from her eyes and down onto the porcelain.
Then to her surprise a single stream of cold water started flowing from the faucet.
She looked up at the nozzle and saw that Whitescale had turned the nozzle.

“You left your bed in such a rush that you made me worried.There are things you are unable to do right now. But please remember that I’m here to aid you in everyway I can.” Using the end of his tail he pushed the cork into the hole. This caused the water to rise a little before he turned the nozzle the other way and making it stop.

Fluttershy wiped her eyes and hovered down into the sink. She drank deep from the cold water, once she was satisfied she gathered some water in her hooves and splashed it onto her face.
The cold water slowly flowed down her face. It felt nice.
She took a deep breath and flew out of the sink. She landed on Whitescale’s head.

“Thanks for being here for me. I don’t think I would have been able to handle this without you.”

Whitescale slithered back to the dollhouse. He made sure that Fluttershy got back to her bed safely.

Once she was back in bed he said. “Don’t worry about it. I live to serve you and I will never leave your side. Please remember this.”

After hearing those words. Fluttershy ventured back into the realms of dreams.

It was late afternoon and a young nurse was galloping down one of the many hallways of Canterlot castle. She was on her way to deliver some good news to princess Celestia.

A day had passed since Discord’s blood coughing beginned. Doctor Scalpel had been by his side the entire time running tests and whatnot.

He was hoping that he would be able to find the reason to Discord’s sudden illness and his sudden recovery.
Sadly no matter what he tried he came out empty handed. Discord’s body was nothing like a ponies therefore he was unable to properly identify anything. Even Discord’s blood type was unknown which made the whole thing even harder.
If Discord started to fade away due to lack blood. There would be no way to help him.

Discord’s sudden attacks of harsh blood coughing had continued throughout most of the night. Doctor Scalpel had never felt so helpless before. He wanted to do something anything at all.
But the fear of losing a patient was too much. He was afraid he would cause more harm to the draconequus than the illness had already done.

All he could do was give him something to soothe the pain, he still unsure whether it did anything or not.

Then late at night all of Discord’s injuries had vanished. He had stopped coughing and was snoring loudly.

Doctor Scalpel took this as a good signs and left his nurses to treat the draconequus. While he walked into his office to get some proper shuteye.

Princess Celestia was laying in her bed watched over her little sister who was sucking on a pacifier while she happily played with some colored blocks. Luna did not let go of that spider plus for more than a second. This worried her to no end.

What was that thing? It had seemingly appeared out of nowhere and Celestia had no memories of ever seeing it before.
She was worried that it might be affecting her little sisters natural magical regeneration. It was incredibly slow and it almost seemed like it had stopped completely, seeing as Luna was regressing mentally.

If her little sister mind were to regress to the state of her current body. Celestia would have no choice but to break out diapers and other supplies that Luna was going to need if the regression continued.
Perhaps she was being paranoid. Luna might just be enjoying herself. Since it’s not an everyday occurrence that someone gets to relive their young childhood.

But She still found it strange. Luna had been devastated when she found out what had happened to her. Why would she suddenly start to enjoy it? And why to such a degree?
She could not help it. That spider plush had to have something to do with this whole ordeal. But she could not sense even the tiniest bit of magic radiating from it.

The best course of action would be to seal the plush away. Unfortunately she knew that she would not be able to keep the toy away from her little sister.The guilt of making her sad would eat her alive. So Celestia decided to simply keep a close eye on it for now. If she started to sense anything odd she would blast it to smithereens.

Luna was happily playing with her toys giggling from time to time. It brought joy to Celestia’s heart to hear her little sister laugh once again.
Ever since they had been reunited Luna had been very gloom. She had rarely laughed and the few times she did it had been forced.

However now they were the purest form of laughter and they reminded her of the precious times she spent with her student. when she was just a little filly. Celestia had many precious memories of her and she only continued to make her teacher proud.

But despite all the happy memories this ordeal brought to Celestia. She was unable to ignore that something was very wrong with both her sister and Discord. She was worried about the draconequus but Luna’s health would always be her top priority.

Still laying on her bed Celestia was trapped in deep thought.

`What should i do? I could take the plush away from her, but my heart won’t allow it…….. I wish I knew someone who could aid me. Sometimes being one of the oldest creature in this world sucks. With the exception of Discord there Is no one older than me. I hope that he knows something about that spider. I need all the help I can get. Once he wakes up I’ll ask him about this whole mess.
Maybe I could feed Luna’s body with some off my execs magic. If I’m successful. Her own regeneration should stabilize and her body should return to normal in a few days.´

Celestia’s train of thought was interrupted by the soft knocking on her door. She snapped out of her trance and opened the door with her magic without leaving the bed.

The door opened and behind it stood a young nurse. She bowed to the princess and once she rose to her hooves. She said.

“Forgive my intrusion princess..........” The nurse glanced over at Luna who was sitting on the floor playing with a stuffed animal of some kind.

She cleared her throat. “Forgive my intrusion, princesses. But I came here to tell you that Discord have regained consciousness and is currently awake and that you can visit him. I suggest that you do it now while he is still in a stable condition.”

Celestia got off the bed and shook her head a few times in order to restore her mane to its regular everflowing beauty.

“Thank you. We will visit him immediately. Thanks for your hard work.” The nurse gave a quick bow and left the room galloping back to the hospital wing.

Celestia walked over to her little sister who was smiling behind the pacifier.

“Did you hear? Discord is awake. Let’s go and cheer him up with a quick visit shall we?”

Luna grabbed her spider plush and nodded. She held her tiny hooves up to Celestia. “ Can you Cawwy me? please!”

Celestia did not want to treat her like a baby, but something those puppy dog eyes tugged at her heartstrings. She picked up her little sister and carefully placed her on her back.

Luna used the royal Canterlot puppy dog eyes. It was super effective!
Luna have gained 50 points of cuteness.

“Luna how about you leave the pacifier here? It’s a bit hard to understand what you are saying when you have it in your mouth.”

Luna looked sad and Celestia could swear that she saw tears forming in her little sister’s eyes. Making Luna cry was the last thing she wanted to do. But she was afraid that her sister's mind might regressing further. Then again there are some things no older sibling can do. Celestia proceeded to tie a thread around the pacifier which she then put around Luna’s neck.

“See, now you can take it with you everywhere without losing it. I’m not asking you to get rid of it. I’m only ask that you too not have it in your mouth when you are talking. Is that okay?”

Luna looked at the pacifier then at her sister. She spat it out, allowing it to dangle around from her neck. “Okay I understand. But, Mr Spider can come right?”

Celestia wanted to say no……but Luna had already been a good girl giving up on her pacifier. Besides Discord had to see the spider. “Of Course and I bet Discord would love to meet him.
A big smile spread across Luna’s lips and she hugged Mr spider tightly.

Celestia shut the door to her room and started walking to the hospital section of the castle. Just as she left the room a scroll emerged from a poof of magic. It was carrying Twilight’s personal seal.

It landed on the floor just waiting for someone to read it. Suddenly a fire came to life in Celestia’s fireplace. The fire was flaring with wicked green flames and a set of pupils formed in the flames Their gaze fell upon the scroll.
A hand consisting of nothing but dry bones grabbed a hold of the scroll and pulled it inside the fire, burning it to ashes. The flames died out and a wicked high pitched laughter echoed through the room.

As they made their way to the hospital wing there was one thing on Celestia’s mind.
´I hope Discord knows something about that thing. For Luna’s sake.´

Discord was sleeping lightly in his hospital bed. He dreamed that he was a piece of cheese and a rat was about to eat him.

“No no. Don’t eat me I taste horrible!” He muttered.The rat picked up the cheese and brought it to its mouth. With a scream Discord shoot out of bed. so fast that he slammed his head on a low hanging lamp.
*Bam!*

Discord clenched his head and muttered something under his breath. He put his head back onto the pillow and sighed.

“Owww. That really made me lightheaded.”

The door to his room slowly opened and Celestia walked inside. Celestia sat down by the bed and Luna leaped from her back and onto Discord’s tail.
Luna walked across him, carrying her spider plush. She sat down once she reaches his chest.

Luna dropped the spider.“Hi Discord!” She said as she reached out with her hooves towards him, indicating that she wanted him to pick her up.

Discord picked her up and held her in front of his face. “Hello,Lulu! Adorable like always I see. How are you feeling?” He singsonged in a high pitched tone.

“The real question is how are you feeling? Luna said with a giggle.

Celestia walked closer to his bed. “Yes ,Discord how are you feeling? She had a concerned look on her face.

Discord turned his head and looked at the reader. “Well how about this. I’ll tell you how I feel in the next chapter. Because the author of this story is a lazy butthole and his hands are getting tired. I’ll see you all soon!”

Tell me what you think about the chapter in the comments and until next time. Always remember that you are awesome!

Also here is a translation to the Swedish part.

"I cannot comprehend why you hate me with all your heart. But I will never hurt you. My love for you is just as strong now as it was the day you were born. We will meet each other soon, my son."

That is more or less what he says.

Bonus chapter!

Discord was laying in his hospital bed, waiting for the story to continue. “So, Lulu didn't you have something you wanted to ask me?” Much to Discord surprise Luna was nowhere to be seen and neither was Celestia. He was all alone in a white space that had nothing but him and a hospital bed in it.

“What the heck is going on? This was not in the script! That lazy excuse for an author…...Grrr!” Discord broke out from the empty text document and appeared inside the authors home. He explored the house, but found no trace of the author. “Where the heck is that guy?”

The front door opened and the author walked inside. He was whistling a merry tune as he walked into his kitchen. He put down his bag of groceries onto the kitchen table and started unloading them. “I got bacon, I got cheese, I got lamburges and fries, they will be my dinner tonight!” The author signed as he unpacked.

The author turned around and he was meet by Discord who had showed his arms so far into his ears that they had come out on the opposite side of his head. “Hello, Discord! I was not expecting you to come by today.” The author walked over to his fridge and got out a bottle of carbonated water. He poured himself a glass and quickly drank it down. “Can I tempt you with a glass of water?”

“Shut your piehole! You know why I’m here!” Discord pointed an accusing finger at the Author.

The Author stroked his thinking beard. “I actually got no clue. You tend to show up whenever you feel like it.”

Discord flailed his arms around in frustration. He was so annoyed that he was unable to form proper words. “Gah duhb ragh ga! Smaghagaga moshagadorababa!” Steam shot out from his nostrils as he continued his onslaught of nonsense.

The Author pulled out a chair, sat down, grabbed his water and took a sip. *Slurp* “Go on.” He motioned with his left hand. *Slurp*

Discord stared into the Author’s eyes.“Why aren't you writing the next chapter?!” He said with a growl.

The Author nonchalantly pushed Discord out of his face. “So that’s what this is about. Honestly, Discord don’t you have any patience?”

Discord once again pointed his finger at the Author.“YOU HAD ME COUGHING BLOOD FOR ONE AND A HALF MONTHS! YOU…...You…..you Lamburglar!”

The Author took a moment to process what Discord just said. Once the hamster in his brain started running he smacked his fist softly into the palm of his other hand. Oh, I get it! Lamburglar instead of hamburglar! Since I brought home lamburgers. Hahahahaha. Oh you. You are a such a hoot!”

Discord’s left eye started twitching and he grabbed the Author by the beard on his chin. “OW! OW! OW! NOT THE BEARD! NOT THE BEARD! I BEG YOU! SPARE THE BEARD!”

Discord grinned menacingly and laughed like a madman. “Mwahahahaha!” He then ripped the authors beard from his chin and ate it. *Gulp* “You’ll get this back once the story is finished.

“AHHHHH! You douche! Do you have any idea how long it took me to grow that thing?!” The Author stroked his now naked chin. “Cold…...so very cold.”

“Ehhh. Not to ruin the funeral, but I would hurry up If I were you. Your beard won’t last long in my stomach.” Discord said as he twirled his own beard.

“I hate you so much right now.”

Discord snapped his finger and dissolved himself into water. The Author quickly stuffed the rest of his groceries into his fridge. He walked upstairs and sat down by his computer. “I was going to continue this anyway!” He shouted.

Discord’s laughter echoed through his house and slowly faded away. “The Author poured himself some more water and started typing.

Author's Note

Lovely, Discord has stolen my beard. God dammit!
On a more serious note. I'm working on the next chapter and I just thought this was funny.
