A small pony with a flowing pink mane stood cowering at the door. "Drat!" Whispered Celestia. She was trying to be as silent as possible for she was not meant to be out so late. To tell the truth she wasn't really meant to be out at any time without supervision. But she didn't care, tonight was the night were she would be not a princess but just a normal filly. She wanted to go out and play without having to learn anything or have to be extra careful not to get her hooves dirty! And with her parents so distracted with her new little baby sister this was the perfect time to sneak out for a bit! The palace gardens where beautiful they were her favourite place in the world she ran around freely when suddenly she heard some giggling coming from a bush, "a giggling bush,how odd" thought Celestia. She went over to investigate when suddenly a small furry creature jumped out and roared at her! " AAHHHHH!" Screamed Celestia, she tripped over and fell down a hill. The creature followed laughing. " are you ok?" It asked still laughing its head off. She was able to get a closer look at the creature now. It was very strange looking indeed! It had a bat wing,a snake tail and a body of all sorts of things! "What are you" Celestia asked brushing the dirt out of her hair. "Well... I don't really know!" Said the creature. "Well" said Celestia finally satisfied with her mane, "what's your name?" " discord" said the creature pulling a cool pose. Celestia had to stop herself from giggling, "I haven't seen you before do you live here and where are your parents?" " firstly I don't really live anywhere, and..I...I don't have any parents" "No parents?" Yelled Celestia "but how is that possible?". "I dunno" said Discord shrugging his shoulders " I remember hearing a voice telling I have a purpose in this world to fulfil, whatever that means then next thing I know I'm lying in the forest out there fending for myself. So I came here to live in these gardens. " "Wow" said Celestia, " that's creepy". " well I just get on with life". Said Discord, "anyhow wanna play together?" As Discord said this a glass of chocolate milk appeared in his hand. " your magic?" Gasped Celestia "how is that possible? " "I dunno", said discord, I've just always been able to do it". "Cool" said Celestia. "Soo...wanna play a game or not?" Said Discord flying in circles. "What would we play?" Asked Celestia, "How about...pin the tail on the pony?" Said Discord. Celestia gasped looking behind her and seeing her tail,was gone, and discord was holding it in his hand smirking. "Hey!!!" Yelled Celestia. "Oh don't panic" said discord clicking his talons and and making her tail appear back on her rear end. " I'm not sure if i want to play any more..." Grumbled Celestia. "Oh lighten up", said discord "how about...tag!" "Tag?" Said Celestia "I have heard of it but never played before" So you know the rules then?" Said discord "Well sort- " "TAG YOUR IT" yelled Discord running away laughing! "Wait,what" said Celestia. After a few seconds she got it "oh I'm going to get you! " she yelled chasing him! After about an hour of playing suddenly Celestia heard her mum yelling. " oh no I'd better go" she said. "Wait" yelled discord running after her. "Can we meet again tomorrow night?" "Sure" said Celestia. "Promise?" "Promise". She was about to leave again when suddenly discord shouted 'I never got your name!' 'Its princess Celestia.' And with that Celestia flew off to meet her raging mum. The dark one "2" 2It had been about a month since Celestia and Discord had met.Since then they had both met up every night,Celestia's parents had gotten suspicious to how she was always a bit tried now but when they asked her if she had got enough sleep she just told them she was only tired from growing. Her parents seemed suspicious but didn't question her because Celestia never lied to them. She felt so bad for doing so,she hated lying to her parents,she loved them very much. Her father was in charge of raising the sun every morning, he was white like Celestia with a flowing red mane and had the same cutie mark as her. She remembered when she got it,she had been so happy, Her father let her try raising the sun with him one day and then just as she landed it appeared. Her parents held a whole party to celebrate, it was glorious! Her mother was dark blue with an aqua mane. she had a cutie mark of the moon with a shadow coming off it, they all guessed this would be Luna's cutie mark when the time came. Her parents ruled all of equestria because they had been chosen as young fillys. They were born with a horn and wings,ponies soon started to refer to them as alicorns. They were destined to fall in love and rule Equestria! And the best thing was...they were immortal so they would never die! When Celestia thought this it filled her heart with joy to know her and her family would be together forever! Her little sister Luna had only been born a few months ago, whereas Celestia was 6. Her sister had a light blue mane that was quite short. She was the same colour of her mother so she would probably raise the moon as well. Although Luna was only a little baby she certainly was smart for her age, she could already say a few words like mother,father and she called Celestia Celly. xxxxxxxx Today was a nice warm day with the sun shining so Celestia was out playing with discord,she couldn't go that night because she had to go out for dinner with her parents to a royal meeting. They were playing eye spy. It was Discords turn, "OK I spy with my little eye something...PINK! Celestia sighed ,"is it my mane?" " oh my gosh yes,how did you get that!" Celestia rolled her eyes "you have done my mane every time its your turn!!!" " have I? ok I'll go again I spy-" Celestia stopped him she had had something on her mind for the past week "Discord." "yeah?" "I was wondering if you ever got the chance,would you want somewhere to live?" Discord looked confused, "what do you mean I live here." " I know." Said Celestia "but what about a real house?" "well yeah I guess I would." Celestia's eyes lit up "well I've had a thought,how about you live in the palace?" Discord looked at her, "are you crazy your parents would never let me in!" Celestia smiled "I could go ask them." Discord sat looking at the floor for a second, "wow,my own home...a place to belong to..." "Well then" said Celestia smiling, "lets go ask!" xxxxxxxxxx They came up to the throne room and Celestia turned around, Discord was floating in the air trying to look calm but she could tell he was nervous. "ok" she said "you turn invisible and stay here," I'll go ask. Discord nodded and disappeared. "Ok,here it goes," she said. She opened the large doors to the throne room and walked in. When she walked in her parents where sitting on their thrones, her father was reading some scrolls and her mother was feeding Luna with a bottle. "em..mother,father?" said Celestia suddenly feeling really nervous. "yes my love?" said Celestia's mother, her voice was as elegant as ever. "I was wondering,if you got the chance to have a son,would you?" "Celestia,we just had a child, if you think we are having another one you can think twice!" boomed Celestia's father,he didn't mean to be loud he just had a very big voice. "well what if you could have I dunno like...a step son!" "Darling,what are you getting at?" said her mother. Celestia sighed "all right fine let me tell you," Celestia took a deep breath and then told them everything,sadly she forgot to mention he wasn't a pony. "well,lets meet the young stallion," said Celestia's father. "Discord you can come in!"yelled Celestia, Discord walked in, he walked in on all fours to make himself more normal, sadly it wasn't enough. Celestia's mother screamed and almost dropped Luna while her father almost ran away but he calmed himself, he didn't want to scare the young lad or make him feel bad abut himself. After calming his wife down he spoke to Discord. "so I hear you're a friend of my daughters?" Discorda spoke in a quiet voice almost to scared to talk "y..yes sir" "please do not find me rude to ask,but what pray tell are you?" "I..I don't really know" Celestia's mother spoke although her voice was a bit shaken, "n..nurse Tree Spirit may know" "Your right" said her father,"lets go see her!" xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx They walked up to the office of the royal hospital. Celestia knocked on the door. Nurse Tree Spirit opened it, "oh hello your highnesses, may I help you?" "Hello Tree Spirit" Said Celestia's father, "we were wondering if you knew what this was?" He pointed to Discord who blushed and smiled, a bit nervous from all the attention. Nurse Tree Spirit looked at Discord for a second before a look of pure horror and shock appeared on her face, she grabbed Discord and set him on the desk and pulled out a knife! "Stop right this minute!" yelled Celestia. She ran in front of discord who looked like he was about to cry and pointed a hoof at Nurse Tree Spirit, "what do you think you're doing!" Celestia's Father ran over, "Yes what are you doing!" "This creature needs to die!" she yelled. "and why is this?" said Celestia's father. "Fine," said Nurse Tree Spirit,let me explain, "this THING is called a Draconequus, it is made out of all sorts of animals! He is one of a kind!" "Then how have you heard about him?" Asked Celestia's father. "I'll show you." Nurse Tree Spirit tree pulled out an old book from a shelf, "its an old prophecy," she opened it to a page and there was a bigger version of Discord, "it is said he would come to this earth to destroy it!" Discord ears fell down. Celestia's mother saw and told Celestia and Discord to wait outside. Nurse Tree Spirit continued "He is the body and soul of chaos and disharmony, he was brought to this world by the dark one. HE IS A DANGER WE MUST KILL HIM!" she yelled. "He doesn't look that strong," Said Celestia's father. "Oh really! laughed Nurse Tree Spirit," He has more power then all of you alicorns put together!" Only one thing can stop him, the Elements Of Harmony!" "But" said Celestia's mum,"those are just an old ponies tale!" Nurse Tree Spirit Showed then the picture of a tree, "you can get them here, to get the the tree you must-" "wait said Celestia's dad, "then why were you going to stab him?" "To buy me time." "Well that doesn't matter," said Celestia's mum, "he is going to live with us!" "WHAT!" yelled Nurse Tree Spirit, "are you crazy,you have to let me get the elements of harmony and kill him!" "No," continued Celestia's mum. "We are going to raise him and teach him our ways, he will grow up under my wing and become a good person that can help protect the kingdom!" She picked Discord and Celestia up and put them on her back with Luna. "I'm here 24/7!" shouted Nurse Tree Spirit, "I WILL KILL HIM!!!!!" "leave now," was all Celestia's father said. Nurse Tree Spirit Mumbled something and slowly trotted out of the office,realising she had just cost herself her job. "Am I really evil?" said Discord looking worried. "No," said Celestia's Mother, "you can live with us and be a wonderful draconquus." They all cuddled and Celestia thought this was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.! The Crystal Empire "3" 3"DDDIIIIISSSSSCCCCCCOOOOORRRDDDDDDD!!!!!!!! WHERE ART THOU, SHOW THYSELF!!!!!!!!" Celestia jumped out of bed,the shout had woken her up, Celestia let out a long sigh before looking at her clock, It was 6.04. Breakfast wasn't until 7.00. She could have spent another half an hour in bed. Celestia went over to her mirror and used her magic to levitate a brush up to her hair and start brushing it. It had been a few months over 9 years since Discord had moved in with them, she and him were now 15 and Luna was 9. And Celestia knew very well that it was Luna using the royal Canterlot voice to shout, and she knew very well who it was that was making her shout. Ever since Luna could walk Discord had started playing pranks on her, Luna had enjoyed them a bit when she was younger but now she wasn't small any more and they just annoyed her, for she had grown up to be quite serious and spent most of her spare time doing royal jobs or studying with her tutors on how to be better at magic. Celestia put on her crown,shoes and necklace and opened her door only to be trampled over by Luna. Luna skidded to a stop and turned around to Celestia who was now lying face first on the floor. "Terribly sorry my sister," said Luna "Oh its quite all-AAAHHHHHHHH!" Celestia screamed when she saw Luna's what used to be a short light blue mane. "W....what happened!!" shouted Celestia. Luna's mane was bright,BRIGHT green with what looked like what were snakes on the top of it. Luna didn't have time to answer as Discord appeared in front of her, laughing his head off. "oh man Luna you should see the look on your face...priceless!!" Luna's face was bright red with anger, Celestia was just waiting for smoke to start coming out of her ears. "Emm...Discord?" Said Celestia. Discord turned around, finally noticing Celestia was there. "Oh..hi! What's up Tia?" This was Discord's little nickname for Celestia,she had protested at first but after a few years she started to like it. She had then tried to come up with a nickname for him,but sadly they all failed. "well not everyone can be as talented as me when it comes to making things up!" Was all Celestia could remember Discord saying after she failed. Celestia looked up at Discord, she had to admit he had grown a lot since they were little, he looked quite handsome, Of course Celestia couldn't be 100% sure for he was the only draconquus that existed! He had this one flop of hair in his face he was always blowing out of his eyes, it was quite funny to watch. "well..." she started "I was just wondering...WHY IS LUNA'S HAIR GREEN!" Discord had flown back a bit from the shock of Celestia shouting at him. He put his hands in the air. "Wow,calm down, it was just a harmless prank," He clicked his talons and her hair returned back to normal. "Thank you." said Celestia "whatever" said Discord, he was trying to sound angry but she could see him smirking. "Anyway," he continued "what do you girls want to do today?" "Well" said Celestia " we are meant to be meeting mother and father for breakfast now." "Well then," said Luna "lets be off" Luna started to trot off when suddenly a small log appeared in front of her. "AAAHHHHHHHH!" Luna screamed as she fell over it. Discord burst out laughing when suddenly Luna ran and jumped on him to tackle him to the floor. "DISCORD!!!!!!" xxxxxxxxxxxx Celestia's mother and father where sitting in the dining room waiting for their children and Discord to come to breakfast when suddenly a messenger pony ran into the room. "your highnesses,your highnesses! " Celestia's father looked at him "yes?" "I...I have been told to tell you,they found IT" Celestia's father let out a gasp. "How can that be possible?" he said "we haven't seen it in 18 years!" The "it" they were talking about was the Crystal Empire. It used to be a happy town,just outside of Canterlot but one day an evil unicorn took over.His name was King Sombra. He had a craving for crystals and would't let any pony get in his way, for he wanted the most beautiful crystal in all of Equestria. The crystal heart. A magical crystal that powered all of the love and hope in the crystal ponies and sent it all over Equestria! But once Sombra took charge their coats turned dull and that love turned into fear! Celestia's parents had heard about his take over and went to save the crystal ponies,but when they got there and confronted Sombra, he used a very powerful spell that transported the Crystal Empire somewhere else. If the spell was cast wrong it would make the whole empire explode! The king and queen had sent out search parties but after a few years just suspected the empire had blown up, they still had a group of men who to this day searched for it. They never actually thought they would find it! "Where is is?" asked Celestia's mother. "In the wastelands" replied the messenger pony. "How in all of Equestria did they survive out there?" Thought Celestia's father. After a bit of thought Celestia's father spoke. "get the troops ready, we will attack in a week." "Yes your highness". The messenger pony turned around to leave but the king spoke again. "Please do me a favour?" The messenger pony turned around. "yes?" "Bring that message straight to the commander and make sure to tell him to tell the guards and the guards only! We cant have word getting out about the attack. Sombra may move the Empire again." "Of course your highness" The messenger turned around and left the two rulers. "I do hope we get him this time," said the queen. "I don't want to have to search for him again. And what if he attacks? he might hurt the princesses!" Celestia's father put an arm around his wife, "Over my dead body he would!" Sombra's face appeared on the wall behind them,he had heard every word. He let out a laugh and said to himself "as you wish!" xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx A Free day "4" 4A Free day "4" 4 Celestia,Luna and Discord waked into the dining room. Luna and Discords manes were all ruffled up as if they had fell down a hill or something. Their Parents raised an eyebrow each. "And what happened to you two?" Asked The queen. Luna looked a bit awkward so Celestia answered. "They...had a bit of an accident in the hall..." Celestia's father just kept looking at them, "did you fall down the stairs?" Luna glared at Discord who smirked while he spoke "something like that." Celestia and Luna's mother just laughed "well come and sit down for breakfast, you three." Luna went and sat beside her parents and Discord and Celestia sat beside each other. A few minutes later the cooks and servants came in carrying their breakfasts. "Pancakes, yum!!!" said Discord jumping up and down. Luna glared at him "what age art thou, five?" Discord just laughed before tucking in to his breakfast. There was a few minutes silence before Luna spoke up. "So mother and Father, what is on thy schedule today, we would like to know? Their Father answered, "Actually you, Celestia and Discord have nothing to do today." Celestia looked at them, How so?" "Well," their father continued "With the ball tomorrow all royal duties have been put on hold,but tomorrow we will need you three to help out." "Oh my Equestria the ball, I forgot!" shouted Celestia. "I haven't even got a dress! "That's what you ones are doing tomorrow," said the queen, you all have an appointment at the boutique down town." "What about the royal dress makers?" said Luna. "Well they are busy tomorrow," said the queen "and its not the cheap boutique its a new one that opened at the end of town, its very pricey but the ball calls for the best outfits possible." Discord let out a long sigh "aww a dress shop,BORING! "Now come on Discord," said the king ,"this will be the first proper ball you three will have been to, the Equestrian ball only happens every ten years! Discord blew his flap of hair out of his eyes "whatever it will be boring!" "oh come on Discord" said Celestia "it could be fun if we hang out!" Discord smiled "I...I suppose" Luna ate the last of her pancakes and stood up from the table "if thou doesn't mind we are going to go and study now." Discord looked at her, "study? but its your day off!" Luna sighed, "yes it is,and we intend to use this day to study." Suddenly Luna appeared in Discord arms, "oh no you don't!" He said. "Me,you and Celestia are going to hang out today!" "What!" said Luna, "no! Father tell him no!" The king gave a sheepish grin, "I think you should take the day off, go play outside." "UUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHH!" Said Luna , "very well,we shall hang out with thee." Discord appeared beside Celestia and high hoofed her, while doing this he dropped Luna on the floor! xxxxxxxxxxxx Celestia, Luna and Discord walked into the palace gardens. "well,?" said Luna "What art we going to do? Discord thought for a moment "how about hide and seek!" Luna glared at Discord "last time we played that thou said they were it and then when we hid thou went off and left us for 4 hours!" Discord laughed "that was funny, but we are playing for real this time." "Very well" said Luna "but Discord is not being it!" "I'll be it." Said Celestia. "You have 30 Seconds...GO!" Discord flew off into the sky laughing. Luna started to run "think Luna, she thought, "Where should we hide? Luna kept running until she came to a bush "That didn't end well last time." she thought. Luna kept on runnig, after a bit she came to the royal flowers, she found some blue flowers (her personal favourite) and hid in between them being careful not to squish any. "Celestia shall have a hard time finding us!" she thought. xxxxxxxxxx Discord kept flying up higher and higher until he could see all the palace gardens, "hmm where to hide?" he thought. Discord landed on the ground, he had suddenly had an idea, Discord was almost crying of laughter as he clicked his talons. He turned into a little maid pony with blond hair and big eyelashes, No one would ever guess anything except for the fact his eyes and voice didn't change. He tapped his hoof and sunglasses appeared on him to cover his eyes. "Oh this is gonna be good!" he thought xxxxxxxxx "28...29...and 30! ready or not here I come!" Celestia yelled. She looked around the garden "hmmm where to start!" she thought. She headed over to the fountain because she knew that was Discords favourite spot. They had spent many nights there when they were younger. When she got over there there was a maid watering some flowers. Celestia went over to her. "em excuse me," she said "may I ask if you have seen Discord or princess Luna anywhere?" The maid turned around,she was wearing a pair of pink sunglasses. she grinned a bit as she talked "yes,I saw Discord over by the labyrinth." Celestia eyed the maid suspiciously, her voice sounded a lot like Discord only higher and more squeaky. "Would you mind taking off you sunglasses?" asked Celestia. The maid looked like she was starting to panic "but...but its very bright out!" Celestia glared at her "Discord..." The maid smiled at her "What are you talking about,my name is...Miss...um star...pie. Celestia raised an eyebrow "Miss star pie?" The maid was almost laughing now "Yes Miss Starpie and I love...wearing pretty bows and...picking flowers!" Celestia used her magic to make the sunglasses fall to the ground,she saw Discord bright yellow eyes with his big red pupils Discord sighed "all right you got me!" Celestia giggled, "you'r a very pretty girl Discord." Discord turned back to his mismatched self. He pulled a pose "I know I was right!" Celestia grinned, "you wait here while I go find Luna." "sure" said Discord xxxxxxxxxx Celestia went to the fountain,the gazebo and even the muddy part of the garden and still hadn't found Luna, The last place was the flower garden. Celestia really should have went there first, it was Luna's favourite place after all. She entered the garden and went to Luna's flower patch, she had planted beautiful blue flowers. Celestia sat staring at them for a while before she heard a sneeze coming from the flowers. "How in Equestria?" thought Celestia She looked closer at the flowers and saw Luna lying face first in the flower patch. Celestia had an idea. She pretended to walk away, she heard Luna giggle a bit and then just as she got to the entrance of the flower garden she ran back, scooped up Luna and started to tickle her. "hahaha stop hahaha it!!!!" yelled Luna "Oh Luna" said Celestia setting her down, "trust you to sneeze at just the wrong moment." Luna giggled a bit as they walked back to Discord. When they got back Discord waved at them. "so will I be it?" said Discord Luna blushed a bit, "We...we would quite like a chance to be it...we never have been before." Discord blew at his flap of hair, "fine whatever, count to 30 then come find us." Luna started to count and Celestia and Discord ran off laughing. "Lets hide together," said Celestia Discord looked at her, "why?" Celestia giggled a bit "you know so Luna doesn't have to make two trips, it is only her first go." "Ok then!" said Discord. They ran until they came to a big bush, it was just in front of a hill that led down to the entrance of the castle. They both stood behind it. "This will be fun!" laughed Discord xxxxxxxxxxxx "29..30! ready or not here thy come!" Luna turned around she could see the fountain, the flower garden and the entrance. She walked for a bit until she came to the bush Discord and Celestia were behind. She would have passed without blinking an eye but Discords tail was sticking out. Luna grinned "we've got you know.! She peeked in between the leaves and saw Celestia as well. Luna grinned. "We shall get our sister back for tickling us!" she thought. Luna slowly crept up to the side of the bush Celestia was at, she could hear them mumbling to each other. She slowly made her way to just behind her sister and then yelled using her royal Canterlot voice... "WE HAVE FOUND YOU SISTER!!!!!!" Celestia screamed "AHHH!" She got such a shock she tripped and started to fall down the hill, she grabbed Discord for support but all she did was pull him with her. They both fell down the hill screaming. They finally got to the bottom and Celestia landed on top of Discord,they stared at each other for a moment before they both burst out laughing! " Celestia you are such clumsy!" Said Discord still laughing. "Really?" said Celestia Poking Discords chest "you were the one that fell when I grabbed you! Luna walked down the hill to find the two friends on top of each other laughing their heads off. Luna raised an eyebrow. "What art thou doing on the ground?" "Oh lighten up Luna!" Discord grabbed Luna and pulled into the middle of them, she told Celestia and Discord to let her go but they just proceeded to hug her. After they went and got cleaned up they all went and sat in the garden, the sun was starting to set,that meant that dinner was going to be in a few minutes. "you know," said Discord sighing "I had so much fun today." "Me too." said Celestia. They both looked at Luna smiling. Luna sighed. "It was quite fun" she said "but I would have rather studied. Celestia grinned "oh my responsible sister" she hugged her, "When the time comes you will be a great leader." At that moment a servant came out and told them their dinner was ready, so they all headed in for a lovely meal! King Sombra "5" 5King Sombra stood outside the town of Canterlot. He let out a sneer, he had always hated this town...well to be honest the real truth was he was jealous. They got all of Equestria to rule with subjects far and wide that respected them. All he had was one stupid empire, and he had to work very hard for that! And now he heard they wanted to take that away from him? King Sombra had been planning an attack on Canterlot for 5 years now. He had trained his army day and night! He had never let them stop! He had to admit they still needed some more training, but he didn't have time! They were going to attack him in 6 days so he needed to act fast! Sombra used his horn to teleport inside the castle, he looked into the door on his right and saw Princess Celestia lying asleep in bed. He lent down to her ear and mumbled "enjoy your last night of sleep my dear, for tomorrow you will be gone!" xxxxxxxxxx King Sombra walked into the crystal castle, two maids rushed over and took off his cloak. "Anything else my lord?" asked one of them. "Yes!" shouted King Sombra making the two ponies cower, "go get all of my army and tell them to meet me in the courtyard!" "yes your lord." The two ponies rushed off to go and get the army ready. King Sombra walked out to the courtyard. No one was there. "WHERE IS MY ARMY!!!" he boomed. Suddenly lots of strong stallions came running, they lined up in a queue. "Finally!" snarled King Sombra. "I have news, we are going to attack Canterlot, Tomorrow night!" The soldiers gasped, one stood forward. "so soon?" he said. King Sombra growled, his horn glowed a dark green and suddenly the stallion was gone. "ANYONE ELSE GOT A PROBLEM WITH US ATTACKING TOMORROW!" he shouted. All the army shook their heads. "Good!" said King Sombra, he turned around and started to walk away, "We will leave in the morning, its a long trip so when i get out here at 6.am you will all be here, UNDERSTAND!" They all nodded their heads. King Sombra walked inside and slammed the door. "Just you wait, oh strong and powerful king of the sun!" He thought, "I will make your world crumble!" Discords fan "6" 6Celestia, Discord and Luna walked into town. It was a bright day so lots of other ponies were walking around town as well, a lot of them waved at them, Luna nodded at them, Celestia smiled and Discord waved at all of them. When the towns folk had first seen Discord a few years ago a lot of them screamed, some even ran away! But after a while they got used to him and accepted him as a normal pony. "UGH,! said Discord , "Dress shopping!" "Oh come now Discord." Said Celestia, " It is always fun to get to go into town." "yea..I guess," said Discord After a while they got to the middle of town. "Ok the shop is this way, said Celestia pointing her hoof west, "come on lets go!" She looked at them, Discord was looking at something. "Discord?" Discord pointed, "look the sweet mill bakery! Haven't been there in a while!" "Not now Discord." Said Celestia. "Oh come on." Said Discord. "Just a Quick visit wouldn't matter." Celestia smiled "all right fine," Said Celestia. "Great!" Said Discord. He used His magic to summon some money in his talon. "WHAT!" shouted Luna. "thou can summon money!" "Ugh..yea, and?" Said Discord. "Does thee know how much hassle that could have solved on birthdays!" said Luna Luna stomped up to Discord and used her magic to snatch the money out of his hand, than she teleported into the bakery. Discord looked at Celestia and gave a confused look. Celestia giggled , "ha,yea...she...really....likes...buns." Discord just summoned more money, "I thought all magic folk could do this," "No." said Celestia. "Ok," said Discord, Well you coming?" He started to fly towards the bakery. "I'm going to wait here." Said Celestia. "Ok," Said Discord. "Suit yourself." Discord flew over to the bakery and went inside. Celestia looked around, she couldn't see a bench anywhere and her hooves where killing her. She couldn't sit on the ground because that was very unladylike. She looked around and gave a gasp, she could see four ponies walking towards her. She couldn't make out their faces. They finally stopped when they got to her. It took her a minute to realise who they were.They were a gang of four ponies called the B team. Celestia could think of a few things that B could stand for. The leader of the gang was a tall orange pony with blond hair that flopped in his face. He was a pegasus and his name was fire stoned. The next member was a girl pony, she was an earth pony that was pink with a frizzy green mane, Celestia didn't know her name. Next was a really big musceley pony. He was white with a silver mane, Ponies called him the ground cracker. Celestia wasn't that fond on finding out why. And last was a girl pony who was a aqua colour with a short brown mane. Celestia didn't know her name either. Fire stoned looked at Celestia and gave a smirk. "Hi there Princess." Celestia smiled, "Why hello ther-" She was cut of as one of them called out. "TROLLESTIA!" Celestia looked confused. "A troll, why on earth would they say i'm a troll?" She ignored the comment and continued, "Hello there B team." "Yea sup, said Fire stoned. Celestia Didn't know what sup meant so she just nodded. Fire stoned smiled and said, "It must have to suck living with that freak of nature." Celestia looked at them, "Freak of nature? Do you mean Discord? He isn't a freak of nature, well he is a bit but-" "He kinda is, anyway your little sister seems to like him. Can you believe she likes that thing!" Celestia smiled, "Huh yea, I know right!" Fire stoned smiled, "yea and-" "Hey you!" Celestia turned around and saw a police pony running towards her. "GOTTA GO, BYE!" shouted Fire stoned. He turned around and ran away. The other 3 followed. Celestia watched them run away,after a moment it hit her what she had just said,"Oh my, I can't believe I just said that!" Celestia looked over at them bakery, she sighed "I will try to forget it, she thought, I didn't mean it of course. Celestia walked over to the bakery and went inside. Discord was looking at the choices. "Aha!" he said. Discord clicked his talons and suddenly some weird green muffin appeared in it. "Perfect!" He said. Discord put the money on the counter. "Thank you!" He said. He turned around and left the shop. The shop keeper looked confused. "um...your..welcome?" He said. Luna blushed a bit, "Do not mind our friend, she said. "We will just have...a blueberry muffin" she said. The baker handed it to her. Luna placed the money on the desk. The baker smiled. "Keep it," He said, "Your friend has already paid." Celestia walked over, "Thank you sir." The baker bowed while still smiling, no problem your majesty's. Celestia and Luna walked out of the shop. They found Discord with his bun. He ate it in one big gulp. "Greedy guts." Said Celestia poking him. "Hey" said Discord. Luna walked up to them both, "We should really continue, we have wasted a lot of time." "You're right!" said Celestia. "We had better get a move on." So the three of them continued there journey to the boutique. xxxxxxxxxx At long last they got to the boutique. Celestia gasped. It was beautiful, it was a big pink building with a light blue roof that was circle shaped. In the middle of it there was a balcony, a white unicorn with a curly pink mane was sitting on it. As far as Celestia could see her cutie mark was a dress with something sticking out of it. The unicorn looked down and saw them, she gave out a high pitched scream before suddenly teleporting in front of them. Celestia could now see it was a sowing needle sticking out of the dress that was her cutie mark. "Hello! your highnesses!" She said, "My name is Diamond shimmer and I shall be your dress maker!" She stared at them for a long time smiling. Celestia felt very uncomfortable. "Ok..."said Celestia, "I'm sure you know I'm princess Celestia and this is my sister princess Luna, and then this is our friend-" She was cut off as Diamond shimmer shouted, "Discord!!!" I've heard all about you!" Discord looked confused, "You have?" Diamond shimmer gave out a loud squeal of excitement, "Yes, I think you are the coolest creature ever! Me and my friends talked about you all the time, I never thought I'd actually meet you in real!" Diamond shimmer was slowly getting closer and closer to Discord, Discord flew back a bit as he spoke. "Yea well, that's great, anyway lets go inside." Diamond shimmer blushed a bit, "oh yes of course." She opened the door and walked in. They all stared to walk in, as they did Luna whispered to Discord. "It is not like thou to not like being praised." Discord whispered back, "This dress maker girl is creepy, so lets just get in, get your dresses and get out!" When they were all in Diamond shimmer tapped her hoof and three other unicorns ran over. Diamond shimmers voice was suddenly loud and stern, "Right ladies, I want one of you to go get Luna into her dress, and two of you to go get Celestia into her dress!" Celestia frowned, "Don't you need to measure us and make them?" Diamond shimmer giggled, "Well when I heard you were getting you dresses made here I went and found out your dress sizes so I could have them ready when you came!" Luna gave a small chuckle, trying to act cool, but her face looked freaked out. "Right well enough chit chat lets go get you girls ready!" Two ponies ran over to Celestia and pulled her away, while the other one did the same to Luna. They pulled them into dressing booths and closed the curtains. Discord was just sitting there listening to Celestia shouting, "ow not so tight!" When suddenly Diamond shimmer walked over to him with a really, REALLY big smile on her face. She sat down beside him and said, "hiiiiiiii, Diiiiiscord." Discord gave a small smile, really whishing he could run away, but Diamond shimmer was sitting in front of the door. So he just replied, "hi". Diamond shimmer giggled. Then she said, "you and me, we are so alike!" Discord looked at her, "what?" "Well," said Diamond shimmer, "we both love having fun, and we both are different looking then everypony else, see!" Diamond shimmer held up her leg, there was a small birth mark on it. "yea..." Said Discord, "There is kinda a big difference in have a small birth mark and being a completely different creature to everypony else" Diamond shimmer looked at the floor, "I...I suppose." Discord sighed, Diamond shimmer looked like she was about to cry. He picked her up in his arms, and smiled, "But I guess having a birthmark is pretty special to." Diamond shimmer jumped out of his arms and started dancing around the room, Then she stopped and started saying again and again, "Discord complimented me!" She turned around to him and stared to dance again when suddenly Celestia and Luna walked out of their booths carrying large bags. "At last!" thought Discord. He turned around to leave, "ok lets go!" Celestia ran in front of him, "Discord you haven't got a suit!" "What!" said Discord, "I am not wearing a suit!" "Oh come on," said Celestia "Mother and father have been working so hard to make this ball perfect, the least you could do is wear a suit!" Discord sighed, "fine." He leaned down to Celestia, "But Diamond shimmer is not dressing me." Before Celestia could answer Diamond shimmer ran over and pushed Discord into a booth. "Yay, I get to dress Discord," she shouted. She ran off and came back carrying a bid pile of suits. Discord pocked his head out of the booth, "Wont I need to get mine made? I am a completely different animal to everypony else." Diamond shimmer threw all the suits into the booth and giggled, I made some suits especially for you to!" Discord mouthed "help me" before Diamond shimmer pushed him back into the booth and jumped into as well. All Celestia and Luna could hear were Discords protests like, "Ow that's to small! and Stop that tickles! Luna walked over to the three unicorns who were putting clothes away, Luna asked them, "How did a pony so young get such a successful business?" One of the unicorns turned around and answered, "She took over her parents business, they retired. "Oh, ok." said Luna. After a few minutes Discord came flying out of the booth carrying a large bag, he flew up to Celestia and said, "Please can we go now?" Celestia laughed, "Of course, let me just pay." Celestia took out the stash of money her parents gave her and put it on the counter. "Thank you." said Diamond shimmer, "please come back soon!" As Discord flew out the door her mumbled, "In your dreams!" The royal ball "7" 7Something has gone wrong.

In the beginning "1" 1 In the beginning "1" 1 It was a cold silent night in equestria, no sound could be heard for miles until suddenly the Loud bang of the two palace doors was heard. A small pony with a flowing pink mane stood cowering at the door. "Drat!" Whispered Celestia. She was trying to be as silent as possible for she was not meant to be out so late. To tell the truth she wasn't really meant to be out at any time without supervision. But she didn't care, tonight was the night were she would be not a princess but just a normal filly. She wanted to go out and play without having to learn anything or have to be extra careful not to get her hooves dirty! And with her parents so distracted with her new little baby sister this was the perfect time to sneak out for a bit! The palace gardens where beautiful they were her favourite place in the world she ran around freely when suddenly she heard some giggling coming from a bush, "a giggling bush,how odd" thought Celestia. She went over to investigate when suddenly a small furry creature jumped out and roared at her! " AAHHHHH!" Screamed Celestia, she tripped over and fell down a hill. The creature followed laughing. " are you ok?" It asked still laughing its head off. She was able to get a closer look at the creature now. It was very strange looking indeed! It had a bat wing,a snake tail and a body of all sorts of things! "What are you" Celestia asked brushing the dirt out of her hair. "Well... I don't really know!" Said the creature. "Well" said Celestia finally satisfied with her mane, "what's your name?" " discord" said the creature pulling a cool pose. Celestia had to stop herself from giggling, "I haven't seen you before do you live here and where are your parents?" " firstly I don't really live anywhere, and..I...I don't have any parents" "No parents?" Yelled Celestia "but how is that possible?". "I dunno" said Discord shrugging his shoulders " I remember hearing a voice telling I have a purpose in this world to fulfil, whatever that means then next thing I know I'm lying in the forest out there fending for myself. So I came here to live in these gardens. " "Wow" said Celestia, " that's creepy". " well I just get on with life". Said Discord, "anyhow wanna play together?" As Discord said this a glass of chocolate milk appeared in his hand. " your magic?" Gasped Celestia "how is that possible? " "I dunno", said discord, I've just always been able to do it". "Cool" said Celestia. "Soo...wanna play a game or not?" Said Discord flying in circles. "What would we play?" Asked Celestia, "How about...pin the tail on the pony?" Said Discord. Celestia gasped looking behind her and seeing her tail,was gone, and discord was holding it in his hand smirking. "Hey!!!" Yelled Celestia. "Oh don't panic" said discord clicking his talons and and making her tail appear back on her rear end. " I'm not sure if i want to play any more..." Grumbled Celestia. "Oh lighten up", said discord "how about...tag!" "Tag?" Said Celestia "I have heard of it but never played before" So you know the rules then?" Said discord "Well sort- " "TAG YOUR IT" yelled Discord running away laughing! "Wait,what" said Celestia. After a few seconds she got it "oh I'm going to get you! " she yelled chasing him! After about an hour of playing suddenly Celestia heard her mum yelling. " oh no I'd better go" she said. "Wait" yelled discord running after her. "Can we meet again tomorrow night?" "Sure" said Celestia. "Promise?" "Promise". She was about to leave again when suddenly discord shouted 'I never got your name!' 'Its princess Celestia.' And with that Celestia flew off to meet her raging mum.
The dark one "2" 2It had been about a month since Celestia and Discord had met.Since then they had both met up every night,Celestia's parents had gotten suspicious to how she was always a bit tried now but when they asked her if she had got enough sleep she just told them she was only tired from growing. Her parents seemed suspicious but didn't question her because Celestia never lied to them. She felt so bad for doing so,she hated lying to her parents,she loved them very much. Her father was in charge of raising the sun every morning, he was white like Celestia with a flowing red mane and had the same cutie mark as her. She remembered when she got it,she had been so happy, Her father let her try raising the sun with him one day and then just as she landed it appeared. Her parents held a whole party to celebrate, it was glorious! Her mother was dark blue with an aqua mane. she had a cutie mark of the moon with a shadow coming off it, they all guessed this would be Luna's cutie mark when the time came. Her parents ruled all of equestria because they had been chosen as young fillys. They were born with a horn and wings,ponies soon started to refer to them as alicorns. They were destined to fall in love and rule Equestria! And the best thing was...they were immortal so they would never die! When Celestia thought this it filled her heart with joy to know her and her family would be together forever! Her little sister Luna had only been born a few months ago, whereas Celestia was 6. Her sister had a light blue mane that was quite short. She was the same colour of her mother so she would probably raise the moon as well. Although Luna was only a little baby she certainly was smart for her age, she could already say a few words like mother,father and she called Celestia Celly. xxxxxxxx Today was a nice warm day with the sun shining so Celestia was out playing with discord,she couldn't go that night because she had to go out for dinner with her parents to a royal meeting. They were playing eye spy. It was Discords turn, "OK I spy with my little eye something...PINK! Celestia sighed ,"is it my mane?" " oh my gosh yes,how did you get that!" Celestia rolled her eyes "you have done my mane every time its your turn!!!" " have I? ok I'll go again I spy-" Celestia stopped him she had had something on her mind for the past week "Discord." "yeah?" "I was wondering if you ever got the chance,would you want somewhere to live?" Discord looked confused, "what do you mean I live here." " I know." Said Celestia "but what about a real house?" "well yeah I guess I would." Celestia's eyes lit up "well I've had a thought,how about you live in the palace?" Discord looked at her, "are you crazy your parents would never let me in!" Celestia smiled "I could go ask them." Discord sat looking at the floor for a second, "wow,my own home...a place to belong to..." "Well then" said Celestia smiling, "lets go ask!" xxxxxxxxxx They came up to the throne room and Celestia turned around, Discord was floating in the air trying to look calm but she could tell he was nervous. "ok" she said "you turn invisible and stay here," I'll go ask. Discord nodded and disappeared. "Ok,here it goes," she said. She opened the large doors to the throne room and walked in. When she walked in her parents where sitting on their thrones, her father was reading some scrolls and her mother was feeding Luna with a bottle. "em..mother,father?" said Celestia suddenly feeling really nervous. "yes my love?" said Celestia's mother, her voice was as elegant as ever. "I was wondering,if you got the chance to have a son,would you?" "Celestia,we just had a child, if you think we are having another one you can think twice!" boomed Celestia's father,he didn't mean to be loud he just had a very big voice. "well what if you could have I dunno like...a step son!" "Darling,what are you getting at?" said her mother. Celestia sighed "all right fine let me tell you," Celestia took a deep breath and then told them everything,sadly she forgot to mention he wasn't a pony. "well,lets meet the young stallion," said Celestia's father. "Discord you can come in!"yelled Celestia, Discord walked in, he walked in on all fours to make himself more normal, sadly it wasn't enough. Celestia's mother screamed and almost dropped Luna while her father almost ran away but he calmed himself, he didn't want to scare the young lad or make him feel bad abut himself. After calming his wife down he spoke to Discord. "so I hear you're a friend of my daughters?" Discorda spoke in a quiet voice almost to scared to talk "y..yes sir" "please do not find me rude to ask,but what pray tell are you?" "I..I don't really know" Celestia's mother spoke although her voice was a bit shaken, "n..nurse Tree Spirit may know" "Your right" said her father,"lets go see her!" xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx They walked up to the office of the royal hospital. Celestia knocked on the door. Nurse Tree Spirit opened it, "oh hello your highnesses, may I help you?" "Hello Tree Spirit" Said Celestia's father, "we were wondering if you knew what this was?" He pointed to Discord who blushed and smiled, a bit nervous from all the attention. Nurse Tree Spirit looked at Discord for a second before a look of pure horror and shock appeared on her face, she grabbed Discord and set him on the desk and pulled out a knife! "Stop right this minute!" yelled Celestia. She ran in front of discord who looked like he was about to cry and pointed a hoof at Nurse Tree Spirit, "what do you think you're doing!" Celestia's Father ran over, "Yes what are you doing!" "This creature needs to die!" she yelled. "and why is this?" said Celestia's father. "Fine," said Nurse Tree Spirit,let me explain, "this THING is called a Draconequus, it is made out of all sorts of animals! He is one of a kind!" "Then how have you heard about him?" Asked Celestia's father. "I'll show you." Nurse Tree Spirit tree pulled out an old book from a shelf, "its an old prophecy," she opened it to a page and there was a bigger version of Discord, "it is said he would come to this earth to destroy it!" Discord ears fell down. Celestia's mother saw and told Celestia and Discord to wait outside. Nurse Tree Spirit continued "He is the body and soul of chaos and disharmony, he was brought to this world by the dark one. HE IS A DANGER WE MUST KILL HIM!" she yelled. "He doesn't look that strong," Said Celestia's father. "Oh really! laughed Nurse Tree Spirit," He has more power then all of you alicorns put together!" Only one thing can stop him, the Elements Of Harmony!" "But" said Celestia's mum,"those are just an old ponies tale!" Nurse Tree Spirit Showed then the picture of a tree, "you can get them here, to get the the tree you must-" "wait said Celestia's dad, "then why were you going to stab him?" "To buy me time." "Well that doesn't matter," said Celestia's mum, "he is going to live with us!" "WHAT!" yelled Nurse Tree Spirit, "are you crazy,you have to let me get the elements of harmony and kill him!" "No," continued Celestia's mum. "We are going to raise him and teach him our ways, he will grow up under my wing and become a good person that can help protect the kingdom!" She picked Discord and Celestia up and put them on her back with Luna. "I'm here 24/7!" shouted Nurse Tree Spirit, "I WILL KILL HIM!!!!!" "leave now," was all Celestia's father said. Nurse Tree Spirit Mumbled something and slowly trotted out of the office,realising she had just cost herself her job. "Am I really evil?" said Discord looking worried. "No," said Celestia's Mother, "you can live with us and be a wonderful draconquus." They all cuddled and Celestia thought this was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.!
The Crystal Empire "3" 3"DDDIIIIISSSSSCCCCCCOOOOORRRDDDDDDD!!!!!!!! WHERE ART THOU, SHOW THYSELF!!!!!!!!" Celestia jumped out of bed,the shout had woken her up, Celestia let out a long sigh before looking at her clock, It was 6.04. Breakfast wasn't until 7.00. She could have spent another half an hour in bed. Celestia went over to her mirror and used her magic to levitate a brush up to her hair and start brushing it. It had been a few months over 9 years since Discord had moved in with them, she and him were now 15 and Luna was 9. And Celestia knew very well that it was Luna using the royal Canterlot voice to shout, and she knew very well who it was that was making her shout. Ever since Luna could walk Discord had started playing pranks on her, Luna had enjoyed them a bit when she was younger but now she wasn't small any more and they just annoyed her, for she had grown up to be quite serious and spent most of her spare time doing royal jobs or studying with her tutors on how to be better at magic. Celestia put on her crown,shoes and necklace and opened her door only to be trampled over by Luna. Luna skidded to a stop and turned around to Celestia who was now lying face first on the floor. "Terribly sorry my sister," said Luna "Oh its quite all-AAAHHHHHHHH!" Celestia screamed when she saw Luna's what used to be a short light blue mane. "W....what happened!!" shouted Celestia. Luna's mane was bright,BRIGHT green with what looked like what were snakes on the top of it. Luna didn't have time to answer as Discord appeared in front of her, laughing his head off. "oh man Luna you should see the look on your face...priceless!!" Luna's face was bright red with anger, Celestia was just waiting for smoke to start coming out of her ears. "Emm...Discord?" Said Celestia. Discord turned around, finally noticing Celestia was there. "Oh..hi! What's up Tia?" This was Discord's little nickname for Celestia,she had protested at first but after a few years she started to like it. She had then tried to come up with a nickname for him,but sadly they all failed. "well not everyone can be as talented as me when it comes to making things up!" Was all Celestia could remember Discord saying after she failed. Celestia looked up at Discord, she had to admit he had grown a lot since they were little, he looked quite handsome, Of course Celestia couldn't be 100% sure for he was the only draconquus that existed! He had this one flop of hair in his face he was always blowing out of his eyes, it was quite funny to watch. "well..." she started "I was just wondering...WHY IS LUNA'S HAIR GREEN!" Discord had flown back a bit from the shock of Celestia shouting at him. He put his hands in the air. "Wow,calm down, it was just a harmless prank," He clicked his talons and her hair returned back to normal. "Thank you." said Celestia "whatever" said Discord, he was trying to sound angry but she could see him smirking. "Anyway," he continued "what do you girls want to do today?" "Well" said Celestia " we are meant to be meeting mother and father for breakfast now." "Well then," said Luna "lets be off" Luna started to trot off when suddenly a small log appeared in front of her. "AAAHHHHHHHH!" Luna screamed as she fell over it. Discord burst out laughing when suddenly Luna ran and jumped on him to tackle him to the floor. "DISCORD!!!!!!" xxxxxxxxxxxx Celestia's mother and father where sitting in the dining room waiting for their children and Discord to come to breakfast when suddenly a messenger pony ran into the room. "your highnesses,your highnesses! " Celestia's father looked at him "yes?" "I...I have been told to tell you,they found IT" Celestia's father let out a gasp. "How can that be possible?" he said "we haven't seen it in 18 years!" The "it" they were talking about was the Crystal Empire. It used to be a happy town,just outside of Canterlot but one day an evil unicorn took over.His name was King Sombra. He had a craving for crystals and would't let any pony get in his way, for he wanted the most beautiful crystal in all of Equestria. The crystal heart. A magical crystal that powered all of the love and hope in the crystal ponies and sent it all over Equestria! But once Sombra took charge their coats turned dull and that love turned into fear! Celestia's parents had heard about his take over and went to save the crystal ponies,but when they got there and confronted Sombra, he used a very powerful spell that transported the Crystal Empire somewhere else. If the spell was cast wrong it would make the whole empire explode! The king and queen had sent out search parties but after a few years just suspected the empire had blown up, they still had a group of men who to this day searched for it. They never actually thought they would find it! "Where is is?" asked Celestia's mother. "In the wastelands" replied the messenger pony. "How in all of Equestria did they survive out there?" Thought Celestia's father. After a bit of thought Celestia's father spoke. "get the troops ready, we will attack in a week." "Yes your highness". The messenger pony turned around to leave but the king spoke again. "Please do me a favour?" The messenger pony turned around. "yes?" "Bring that message straight to the commander and make sure to tell him to tell the guards and the guards only! We cant have word getting out about the attack. Sombra may move the Empire again." "Of course your highness" The messenger turned around and left the two rulers. "I do hope we get him this time," said the queen. "I don't want to have to search for him again. And what if he attacks? he might hurt the princesses!" Celestia's father put an arm around his wife, "Over my dead body he would!" Sombra's face appeared on the wall behind them,he had heard every word. He let out a laugh and said to himself "as you wish!" xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
A Free day "4" 4A Free day "4" 4 Celestia,Luna and Discord waked into the dining room. Luna and Discords manes were all ruffled up as if they had fell down a hill or something. Their Parents raised an eyebrow each. "And what happened to you two?" Asked The queen. Luna looked a bit awkward so Celestia answered. "They...had a bit of an accident in the hall..." Celestia's father just kept looking at them, "did you fall down the stairs?" Luna glared at Discord who smirked while he spoke "something like that." Celestia and Luna's mother just laughed "well come and sit down for breakfast, you three." Luna went and sat beside her parents and Discord and Celestia sat beside each other. A few minutes later the cooks and servants came in carrying their breakfasts. "Pancakes, yum!!!" said Discord jumping up and down. Luna glared at him "what age art thou, five?" Discord just laughed before tucking in to his breakfast. There was a few minutes silence before Luna spoke up. "So mother and Father, what is on thy schedule today, we would like to know? Their Father answered, "Actually you, Celestia and Discord have nothing to do today." Celestia looked at them, How so?" "Well," their father continued "With the ball tomorrow all royal duties have been put on hold,but tomorrow we will need you three to help out." "Oh my Equestria the ball, I forgot!" shouted Celestia. "I haven't even got a dress! "That's what you ones are doing tomorrow," said the queen, you all have an appointment at the boutique down town." "What about the royal dress makers?" said Luna. "Well they are busy tomorrow," said the queen "and its not the cheap boutique its a new one that opened at the end of town, its very pricey but the ball calls for the best outfits possible." Discord let out a long sigh "aww a dress shop,BORING! "Now come on Discord," said the king ,"this will be the first proper ball you three will have been to, the Equestrian ball only happens every ten years! Discord blew his flap of hair out of his eyes "whatever it will be boring!" "oh come on Discord" said Celestia "it could be fun if we hang out!" Discord smiled "I...I suppose" Luna ate the last of her pancakes and stood up from the table "if thou doesn't mind we are going to go and study now." Discord looked at her, "study? but its your day off!" Luna sighed, "yes it is,and we intend to use this day to study." Suddenly Luna appeared in Discord arms, "oh no you don't!" He said. "Me,you and Celestia are going to hang out today!" "What!" said Luna, "no! Father tell him no!" The king gave a sheepish grin, "I think you should take the day off, go play outside." "UUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHH!" Said Luna , "very well,we shall hang out with thee." Discord appeared beside Celestia and high hoofed her, while doing this he dropped Luna on the floor! xxxxxxxxxxxx Celestia, Luna and Discord walked into the palace gardens. "well,?" said Luna "What art we going to do? Discord thought for a moment "how about hide and seek!" Luna glared at Discord "last time we played that thou said they were it and then when we hid thou went off and left us for 4 hours!" Discord laughed "that was funny, but we are playing for real this time." "Very well" said Luna "but Discord is not being it!" "I'll be it." Said Celestia. "You have 30 Seconds...GO!" Discord flew off into the sky laughing. Luna started to run "think Luna, she thought, "Where should we hide? Luna kept running until she came to a bush "That didn't end well last time." she thought. Luna kept on runnig, after a bit she came to the royal flowers, she found some blue flowers (her personal favourite) and hid in between them being careful not to squish any. "Celestia shall have a hard time finding us!" she thought. xxxxxxxxxx Discord kept flying up higher and higher until he could see all the palace gardens, "hmm where to hide?" he thought. Discord landed on the ground, he had suddenly had an idea, Discord was almost crying of laughter as he clicked his talons. He turned into a little maid pony with blond hair and big eyelashes, No one would ever guess anything except for the fact his eyes and voice didn't change. He tapped his hoof and sunglasses appeared on him to cover his eyes. "Oh this is gonna be good!" he thought xxxxxxxxx "28...29...and 30! ready or not here I come!" Celestia yelled. She looked around the garden "hmmm where to start!" she thought. She headed over to the fountain because she knew that was Discords favourite spot. They had spent many nights there when they were younger. When she got over there there was a maid watering some flowers. Celestia went over to her. "em excuse me," she said "may I ask if you have seen Discord or princess Luna anywhere?" The maid turned around,she was wearing a pair of pink sunglasses. she grinned a bit as she talked "yes,I saw Discord over by the labyrinth." Celestia eyed the maid suspiciously, her voice sounded a lot like Discord only higher and more squeaky. "Would you mind taking off you sunglasses?" asked Celestia. The maid looked like she was starting to panic "but...but its very bright out!" Celestia glared at her "Discord..." The maid smiled at her "What are you talking about,my name is...Miss...um star...pie. Celestia raised an eyebrow "Miss star pie?" The maid was almost laughing now "Yes Miss Starpie and I love...wearing pretty bows and...picking flowers!" Celestia used her magic to make the sunglasses fall to the ground,she saw Discord bright yellow eyes with his big red pupils Discord sighed "all right you got me!" Celestia giggled, "you'r a very pretty girl Discord." Discord turned back to his mismatched self. He pulled a pose "I know I was right!" Celestia grinned, "you wait here while I go find Luna." "sure" said Discord xxxxxxxxxx Celestia went to the fountain,the gazebo and even the muddy part of the garden and still hadn't found Luna, The last place was the flower garden. Celestia really should have went there first, it was Luna's favourite place after all. She entered the garden and went to Luna's flower patch, she had planted beautiful blue flowers. Celestia sat staring at them for a while before she heard a sneeze coming from the flowers. "How in Equestria?" thought Celestia She looked closer at the flowers and saw Luna lying face first in the flower patch. Celestia had an idea. She pretended to walk away, she heard Luna giggle a bit and then just as she got to the entrance of the flower garden she ran back, scooped up Luna and started to tickle her. "hahaha stop hahaha it!!!!" yelled Luna "Oh Luna" said Celestia setting her down, "trust you to sneeze at just the wrong moment." Luna giggled a bit as they walked back to Discord. When they got back Discord waved at them. "so will I be it?" said Discord Luna blushed a bit, "We...we would quite like a chance to be it...we never have been before." Discord blew at his flap of hair, "fine whatever, count to 30 then come find us." Luna started to count and Celestia and Discord ran off laughing. "Lets hide together," said Celestia Discord looked at her, "why?" Celestia giggled a bit "you know so Luna doesn't have to make two trips, it is only her first go." "Ok then!" said Discord. They ran until they came to a big bush, it was just in front of a hill that led down to the entrance of the castle. They both stood behind it. "This will be fun!" laughed Discord xxxxxxxxxxxx "29..30! ready or not here thy come!" Luna turned around she could see the fountain, the flower garden and the entrance. She walked for a bit until she came to the bush Discord and Celestia were behind. She would have passed without blinking an eye but Discords tail was sticking out. Luna grinned "we've got you know.! She peeked in between the leaves and saw Celestia as well. Luna grinned. "We shall get our sister back for tickling us!" she thought. Luna slowly crept up to the side of the bush Celestia was at, she could hear them mumbling to each other. She slowly made her way to just behind her sister and then yelled using her royal Canterlot voice... "WE HAVE FOUND YOU SISTER!!!!!!" Celestia screamed "AHHH!" She got such a shock she tripped and started to fall down the hill, she grabbed Discord for support but all she did was pull him with her. They both fell down the hill screaming. They finally got to the bottom and Celestia landed on top of Discord,they stared at each other for a moment before they both burst out laughing! " Celestia you are such clumsy!" Said Discord still laughing. "Really?" said Celestia Poking Discords chest "you were the one that fell when I grabbed you! Luna walked down the hill to find the two friends on top of each other laughing their heads off. Luna raised an eyebrow. "What art thou doing on the ground?" "Oh lighten up Luna!" Discord grabbed Luna and pulled into the middle of them, she told Celestia and Discord to let her go but they just proceeded to hug her. After they went and got cleaned up they all went and sat in the garden, the sun was starting to set,that meant that dinner was going to be in a few minutes. "you know," said Discord sighing "I had so much fun today." "Me too." said Celestia. They both looked at Luna smiling. Luna sighed. "It was quite fun" she said "but I would have rather studied. Celestia grinned "oh my responsible sister" she hugged her, "When the time comes you will be a great leader." At that moment a servant came out and told them their dinner was ready, so they all headed in for a lovely meal!
King Sombra "5" 5King Sombra stood outside the town of Canterlot. He let out a sneer, he had always hated this town...well to be honest the real truth was he was jealous. They got all of Equestria to rule with subjects far and wide that respected them. All he had was one stupid empire, and he had to work very hard for that! And now he heard they wanted to take that away from him? King Sombra had been planning an attack on Canterlot for 5 years now. He had trained his army day and night! He had never let them stop! He had to admit they still needed some more training, but he didn't have time! They were going to attack him in 6 days so he needed to act fast! Sombra used his horn to teleport inside the castle, he looked into the door on his right and saw Princess Celestia lying asleep in bed. He lent down to her ear and mumbled "enjoy your last night of sleep my dear, for tomorrow you will be gone!" xxxxxxxxxx King Sombra walked into the crystal castle, two maids rushed over and took off his cloak. "Anything else my lord?" asked one of them. "Yes!" shouted King Sombra making the two ponies cower, "go get all of my army and tell them to meet me in the courtyard!" "yes your lord." The two ponies rushed off to go and get the army ready. King Sombra walked out to the courtyard. No one was there. "WHERE IS MY ARMY!!!" he boomed. Suddenly lots of strong stallions came running, they lined up in a queue. "Finally!" snarled King Sombra. "I have news, we are going to attack Canterlot, Tomorrow night!" The soldiers gasped, one stood forward. "so soon?" he said. King Sombra growled, his horn glowed a dark green and suddenly the stallion was gone. "ANYONE ELSE GOT A PROBLEM WITH US ATTACKING TOMORROW!" he shouted. All the army shook their heads. "Good!" said King Sombra, he turned around and started to walk away, "We will leave in the morning, its a long trip so when i get out here at 6.am you will all be here, UNDERSTAND!" They all nodded their heads. King Sombra walked inside and slammed the door. "Just you wait, oh strong and powerful king of the sun!" He thought, "I will make your world crumble!"
Discords fan "6" 6Celestia, Discord and Luna walked into town. It was a bright day so lots of other ponies were walking around town as well, a lot of them waved at them, Luna nodded at them, Celestia smiled and Discord waved at all of them. When the towns folk had first seen Discord a few years ago a lot of them screamed, some even ran away! But after a while they got used to him and accepted him as a normal pony. "UGH,! said Discord , "Dress shopping!" "Oh come now Discord." Said Celestia, " It is always fun to get to go into town." "yea..I guess," said Discord After a while they got to the middle of town. "Ok the shop is this way, said Celestia pointing her hoof west, "come on lets go!" She looked at them, Discord was looking at something. "Discord?" Discord pointed, "look the sweet mill bakery! Haven't been there in a while!" "Not now Discord." Said Celestia. "Oh come on." Said Discord. "Just a Quick visit wouldn't matter." Celestia smiled "all right fine," Said Celestia. "Great!" Said Discord. He used His magic to summon some money in his talon. "WHAT!" shouted Luna. "thou can summon money!" "Ugh..yea, and?" Said Discord. "Does thee know how much hassle that could have solved on birthdays!" said Luna Luna stomped up to Discord and used her magic to snatch the money out of his hand, than she teleported into the bakery. Discord looked at Celestia and gave a confused look. Celestia giggled , "ha,yea...she...really....likes...buns." Discord just summoned more money, "I thought all magic folk could do this," "No." said Celestia. "Ok," said Discord, Well you coming?" He started to fly towards the bakery. "I'm going to wait here." Said Celestia. "Ok," Said Discord. "Suit yourself." Discord flew over to the bakery and went inside. Celestia looked around, she couldn't see a bench anywhere and her hooves where killing her. She couldn't sit on the ground because that was very unladylike. She looked around and gave a gasp, she could see four ponies walking towards her. She couldn't make out their faces. They finally stopped when they got to her. It took her a minute to realise who they were.They were a gang of four ponies called the B team. Celestia could think of a few things that B could stand for. The leader of the gang was a tall orange pony with blond hair that flopped in his face. He was a pegasus and his name was fire stoned. The next member was a girl pony, she was an earth pony that was pink with a frizzy green mane, Celestia didn't know her name. Next was a really big musceley pony. He was white with a silver mane, Ponies called him the ground cracker. Celestia wasn't that fond on finding out why. And last was a girl pony who was a aqua colour with a short brown mane. Celestia didn't know her name either. Fire stoned looked at Celestia and gave a smirk. "Hi there Princess." Celestia smiled, "Why hello ther-" She was cut of as one of them called out. "TROLLESTIA!" Celestia looked confused. "A troll, why on earth would they say i'm a troll?" She ignored the comment and continued, "Hello there B team." "Yea sup, said Fire stoned. Celestia Didn't know what sup meant so she just nodded. Fire stoned smiled and said, "It must have to suck living with that freak of nature." Celestia looked at them, "Freak of nature? Do you mean Discord? He isn't a freak of nature, well he is a bit but-" "He kinda is, anyway your little sister seems to like him. Can you believe she likes that thing!" Celestia smiled, "Huh yea, I know right!" Fire stoned smiled, "yea and-" "Hey you!" Celestia turned around and saw a police pony running towards her. "GOTTA GO, BYE!" shouted Fire stoned. He turned around and ran away. The other 3 followed. Celestia watched them run away,after a moment it hit her what she had just said,"Oh my, I can't believe I just said that!" Celestia looked over at them bakery, she sighed "I will try to forget it, she thought, I didn't mean it of course. Celestia walked over to the bakery and went inside. Discord was looking at the choices. "Aha!" he said. Discord clicked his talons and suddenly some weird green muffin appeared in it. "Perfect!" He said. Discord put the money on the counter. "Thank you!" He said. He turned around and left the shop. The shop keeper looked confused. "um...your..welcome?" He said. Luna blushed a bit, "Do not mind our friend, she said. "We will just have...a blueberry muffin" she said. The baker handed it to her. Luna placed the money on the desk. The baker smiled. "Keep it," He said, "Your friend has already paid." Celestia walked over, "Thank you sir." The baker bowed while still smiling, no problem your majesty's. Celestia and Luna walked out of the shop. They found Discord with his bun. He ate it in one big gulp. "Greedy guts." Said Celestia poking him. "Hey" said Discord. Luna walked up to them both, "We should really continue, we have wasted a lot of time." "You're right!" said Celestia. "We had better get a move on." So the three of them continued there journey to the boutique. xxxxxxxxxx At long last they got to the boutique. Celestia gasped. It was beautiful, it was a big pink building with a light blue roof that was circle shaped. In the middle of it there was a balcony, a white unicorn with a curly pink mane was sitting on it. As far as Celestia could see her cutie mark was a dress with something sticking out of it. The unicorn looked down and saw them, she gave out a high pitched scream before suddenly teleporting in front of them. Celestia could now see it was a sowing needle sticking out of the dress that was her cutie mark. "Hello! your highnesses!" She said, "My name is Diamond shimmer and I shall be your dress maker!" She stared at them for a long time smiling. Celestia felt very uncomfortable. "Ok..."said Celestia, "I'm sure you know I'm princess Celestia and this is my sister princess Luna, and then this is our friend-" She was cut off as Diamond shimmer shouted, "Discord!!!" I've heard all about you!" Discord looked confused, "You have?" Diamond shimmer gave out a loud squeal of excitement, "Yes, I think you are the coolest creature ever! Me and my friends talked about you all the time, I never thought I'd actually meet you in real!" Diamond shimmer was slowly getting closer and closer to Discord, Discord flew back a bit as he spoke. "Yea well, that's great, anyway lets go inside." Diamond shimmer blushed a bit, "oh yes of course." She opened the door and walked in. They all stared to walk in, as they did Luna whispered to Discord. "It is not like thou to not like being praised." Discord whispered back, "This dress maker girl is creepy, so lets just get in, get your dresses and get out!" When they were all in Diamond shimmer tapped her hoof and three other unicorns ran over. Diamond shimmers voice was suddenly loud and stern, "Right ladies, I want one of you to go get Luna into her dress, and two of you to go get Celestia into her dress!" Celestia frowned, "Don't you need to measure us and make them?" Diamond shimmer giggled, "Well when I heard you were getting you dresses made here I went and found out your dress sizes so I could have them ready when you came!" Luna gave a small chuckle, trying to act cool, but her face looked freaked out. "Right well enough chit chat lets go get you girls ready!" Two ponies ran over to Celestia and pulled her away, while the other one did the same to Luna. They pulled them into dressing booths and closed the curtains. Discord was just sitting there listening to Celestia shouting, "ow not so tight!" When suddenly Diamond shimmer walked over to him with a really, REALLY big smile on her face. She sat down beside him and said, "hiiiiiiii, Diiiiiscord." Discord gave a small smile, really whishing he could run away, but Diamond shimmer was sitting in front of the door. So he just replied, "hi". Diamond shimmer giggled. Then she said, "you and me, we are so alike!" Discord looked at her, "what?" "Well," said Diamond shimmer, "we both love having fun, and we both are different looking then everypony else, see!" Diamond shimmer held up her leg, there was a small birth mark on it. "yea..." Said Discord, "There is kinda a big difference in have a small birth mark and being a completely different creature to everypony else" Diamond shimmer looked at the floor, "I...I suppose." Discord sighed, Diamond shimmer looked like she was about to cry. He picked her up in his arms, and smiled, "But I guess having a birthmark is pretty special to." Diamond shimmer jumped out of his arms and started dancing around the room, Then she stopped and started saying again and again, "Discord complimented me!" She turned around to him and stared to dance again when suddenly Celestia and Luna walked out of their booths carrying large bags. "At last!" thought Discord. He turned around to leave, "ok lets go!" Celestia ran in front of him, "Discord you haven't got a suit!" "What!" said Discord, "I am not wearing a suit!" "Oh come on," said Celestia "Mother and father have been working so hard to make this ball perfect, the least you could do is wear a suit!" Discord sighed, "fine." He leaned down to Celestia, "But Diamond shimmer is not dressing me." Before Celestia could answer Diamond shimmer ran over and pushed Discord into a booth. "Yay, I get to dress Discord," she shouted. She ran off and came back carrying a bid pile of suits. Discord pocked his head out of the booth, "Wont I need to get mine made? I am a completely different animal to everypony else." Diamond shimmer threw all the suits into the booth and giggled, I made some suits especially for you to!" Discord mouthed "help me" before Diamond shimmer pushed him back into the booth and jumped into as well. All Celestia and Luna could hear were Discords protests like, "Ow that's to small! and Stop that tickles! Luna walked over to the three unicorns who were putting clothes away, Luna asked them, "How did a pony so young get such a successful business?" One of the unicorns turned around and answered, "She took over her parents business, they retired. "Oh, ok." said Luna. After a few minutes Discord came flying out of the booth carrying a large bag, he flew up to Celestia and said, "Please can we go now?" Celestia laughed, "Of course, let me just pay." Celestia took out the stash of money her parents gave her and put it on the counter. "Thank you." said Diamond shimmer, "please come back soon!" As Discord flew out the door her mumbled, "In your dreams!"
