Long ago a mare accepted Discord for who he was, the kicker? She's still kicking.

Discord, during his original reign, met a mare, a young spunky mare, one of the original Apple Family members.
Granny Smith, once known as 'Annie' Smith, due to the effects of the rare green coat, stayed young looking for a longer time, like 950 years, only aging recently, and, due to Equestria's weird nature, ponies don't die of old age, she's also married to someone she hasn't seen in over 1000 years...

He's free?

It was dinner time at the Apple house, all four Ponyville branch members sat together eating a delicious dinner of daisy sandwiches with apple slices and apple juice. An apple pie was in the oven, almost ready to become a delectable desert, its lovely aroma filling the house. The family was just about to start eating when Granny Smith decided to start a conversation.

"So how was yer day?" asked Granny Smith, directing the question at the whole table but mainly at Applejack knowing her day had been eventful but only also knowing the small details that Applejack and her friends had basicaly saved the farm from some sort of powerful being, probably from a long time ago.

Applejack stalled for a moment pretending to be interested in her sandwich, as she knew it would be hard to answer completely and truthfully without insulting the gentlest and kindest pony in Ponyville, maybe even in all of Equestria! All three of the others stared at her, knowing that everpony at the table knew of each other's day, just not hers.

"It was, interestin' Granny, our friend Fluttershy actually got Discord to start using his magic for good instead of evil, well after he mess with some of her animals and caused all that chaos on our farm." said Applejack, wanting to have faith in her friend but having a hard time completely believing Discord could actually ever be 'reformed'. She quickly muttered under her breath, trying to avoid anyone hearing her, but still having to say it, "even though I still don't trust the varmint." Granny Smith pretending not to hear the second part and responded in a strange manner for her.

"Did you just say Discord?" asked Granny Smith, leaning on both of her old baggy fore hooves across the table looking at Applejack with a questioning eye. Even though Applejack was the Element of Honesty, Granny Smith was having a hard time believing her about Discord being free. Then Applebloom decider to burst into the conversation, wanting attention, like most young fillies and colts.

"Discord, ya know the... uh what did Miss.Cheerilie call it, a dragonc, no wait, I got it! He was the draconequus that made Ponyville a huge mess with cotton candy clouds, chocolate rain, dancing buffalos, not to mention the horrible fact that made mah' sister a liar, Pinkie Pie a grump, Rainbow Dash a traitor, Fluttershy ah bully, Rarity very greedy, and Twilight became all secluded and forever alone again!" said Applebloom. The young filly was proud and surprised she seemed to know something her granny, the oldest pony in Ponyville, did not, though more surprising was the fact her granny seemed to have no knowledge whatsoever of the thing.

"Oh that Discord! I remember 'im form way back when." said granny Smith, her memory jogged as she took another bite from her sandwich. She chewed slowly wating for a reply while the others were staring at her, confused as to how she could think last year could count as way back when.

"Ya mean from just a year ago Granny? I think yer exageratin' again" said Applejack, amused with her granny thinking a year ago could be considered 'way back when' and knowing her granny's tendency to overreact and exaggerate.

"Nope! Back even before Princess Celestia and Luna ruled Equestria way back when!" said Granny, proud to appear to be younger than she actually was. She clapped her hooves together in enthusiasm. Applejack rolled her eyes and Applebloom quietly giggled at her granny's exaggeration. "Come on don't they teach you youngins anything these days? The rare and elusive green coat makes ya look younger for longer, not to mention cuter too!"

"Alright Granny, I think its your bed time" said Applejack, hoping to avoid anymore craziness that day, epically from her granny, who had lost her marbles long before even Big Mac was born.

"But we haven't even had any pie yet!" she said licking her lips at the aroma of the perfect pie, just enough of every fresh, home grown ingredient, hoof made, with apples that were just absolutely perfect. The pie she had just pulled out of the silver oven while Applejack was talking.

"Alright, but as soon as we are done you are going to bed you hear me?" said Applejack, silently laughing at her granny's childish behavior.

"That may have been the best pie you ever made Granny!" said Applebloom, her midsection bulging a bit from her eating almost 1/4 of the large perfect pie.

"Eeyup" said Big Macintosh, his first word said in that long, crazy, yet fun night. This earned some sarcastically relived looks from the rest of the ponies.

"Big Mac, good to see you can talk, I was starting to think you went mute! And they are right Granny, everything about that pie was just perfect!" said Applejack teasing her brother on how silent he always was, no matter the circumstance.

"It's not the quality or ingriedients that make a pie deliceous, it is the family you share it with that brings out th pie's true flavor," said the elderly mare, happy with the complements, but knowing that being with her family made that pie all the sweeter.

"Granny, only you can say something that makes so little sense, yet make it sound so sweet!" said Applejack, which earned a round of laughter from the happy family.

"'Make sense, oh, what fun is there in making sense', ah how cute it was when he said that," Granny thought to her self, wondering if she would ever see her love again, hoping what Applejack had said was true, because if it was, there was no doubt she would, and no doubt it could be very soon...

She's alive?

The day after Discord was reformed, he and all the element bearers decided to have tea again, it was going better than the first time that's for sure... Nopony was injured but many were freaked out, mainly by the lack of gravity, Pinkie Pie of course when she saw this she quickly exclaimed, "Screw gravity!'' and rushed to enjoy this, never before experienced by ponies before, way to have extra fun at tea. This tea would be the talk of the town for a while, many ponies coming to see it with their own eyes.

"Hey, Applejack, are you part of the Equestria wide 'Apple Family' or just part of a smaller traditionally apple farming family?" asked Discord, out of the blue as he was hanging from the tree they were under by just his tail, due to the lack of gravity the tree was uprooted and he was actually upside up, in a way.

"Equestria wide of course, why in tarnation would you need to know that?" asked Applejack, wondering why the sprit had asked about her heritage, she took another sip of her tea, "Thanks for turning mah tea into chocolate milk by the way." she added sarcastically, as he had done this to all of the tea, causing annoyance to all the ponies except Pinkie Pie, who was constantly filling her cup to the brim, Discord even summoned a can of whipped cream for her, which soon ran out so he gave her a can of the sweet stuff that would never run out, not caring about how that could effect the economy.

"You are quite welcome," he said, pretending to be oblivious to the sarcasm, "I was wondering if you knew what happened to an old... pony that didn't completely hate me for who I was and how I ruled Equestria, she was a member of your family, I only hope to know if she ever remarried or had kids and how she died mostly," he said, actually sounding serious about something for only the second time in his life.

"Ah know all there is to know about the Apple family history, if anypony knows anything about her it would be me!" Applejack said proudly, she had always loved her Granny's stories as a filly which lead her to love history in school and learn all she could about her family's history.

"Is there a history book on it? If not we could write one! It would be so much fun! Ponies would love to know the history behind the family that produces so many of Equestria's apples!" added Twilight with excitement, her head bobbing in anticipation. The word 'dork' ran through many minds.

"Shut up Twilight, the grown ups are talking." said Discord as he turned Twilight into a filly and shoved her away with his long snake tail, much to her annoyance, "her name was 'Annie Smith' do you know of her?"

"Uhh, yeah actually, she's not dead, everypony now knows her as 'Granny Smith', I never knew she was married in the first place and certainly never had kids." Applejack said, suddenly remembering what her Granny said last night "I'm just happy to know she isn't as batty as I thought she was after last night"

"Batty? What did she do that made you think she was 'batty'" asked Rainbow Dash, like the others her head was full of the same thoughts as the others, 'how does he know Granny Smith' 'How old is she?' and all except Twilight, 'How much of a dork is Twilight?'

"She said she knew you from before Princess Celestia and Princess Luna ruled Equestria" said Applejack, stifling a giggle from recalling last night's antics.

"Well she did, now, do you know where I might find her, I'm guessing it's somewhere nearby as you said you just saw and talked to her last night." said Discord, almost tearing up from knowing his love was still alive and had not remarried, she even remembered him!

"She lives at the same place I do, Sweet Apple Acres, she's part of the Ponyville Apple Family branch, and she's usually sellin' apples this time of day though so ahm not sure where to find her for a few more hours." said Applejack, wondering as to why the spirit seemed so eager to see Granny, "Why do you want to see her so badly anyway?" she asked with serious concern about her granny.

"Before Fluttershy, she was the closest thing I had to a friend, infact she was my friend for a few years, until things to quite an unexpected turn," Discord added, hoping to avoid the awkwardness of admitting he was married to one of his only friend's best friend's granny for as long as possible.

It was market day in Ponyville, the market square was full of ponies, many buying all sorts of treats the others were selling. Shouts of 'Buy my asparagus' 'Freshest carrots in all of Ponyville' 'Try some homemade candy by me, Bon Bon, your local confectioner!' and many more, but above all this commotion a deafening sound could be heard,

"Buy some apples! Buy some apples!" said Applebloom, trying but yet again failing at getting an apple selling cutie mark.

"Alright that was good enough for today, you can go hang out with yer friends now," said Granny Smith, hoping to get the ringing out of her ears quickly.

"Okay, bye Granny, see you at dinner!" said Applebloom excited for the crusading the day would bring, most of it containing dangers that could potentially destroy Ponyville. A few minutes later, a bright flash appeared,

"It's been a long time Annie, to long"

Author's Note

Look! A second chapter, which coincidentally has the exact same number of words (minus this note) than the other one! I have 3 questions for my readers,
1. Why is this not being hated on at all?? (Seriously, not even a thumbs down at the time of posting this)
2. Does this mean I should write a story on the weirdest shipping I have? (Discord X Starswirl)
3. Does this story make my butt look big?

Wait, you and him are WHAT?

"It's good to see you again Annie, shall we go somewhere a bit more, private perhaps?" Discord asked the mare, whose jaw was almost touching the ground from shock, Granny shook her head up and down, as her jaw was to busy trying to touch the ground to allow her to speak her reply, "That's what I thought," Discord added with a smirk, enjoying her reaction.

He teleported them to Ponyville Park, as it was a beautiful day, many birds were flying singing their songs. A butterfly lazily flapped past. There had been a bunny enjoying the scenery but it soon started enjoying the safety of its home, as Discord and Annie teleporting in right next to it scared it. The couple found a shady spot with soft grass beneath a tall tree on a hill, where they ate a lunch Discord conjured, drank lots of chocolate milk, and spent hours discussing Annie Smith's life after Discord had been turned to stone as Discord had little to say from his experiences in stone except it was boring and uncomfortable.

"So, you didn't remarry or have kids while I was gone? What did you do with your life?" asked Discord, seriously concerned about the mare's social life, as he knew the sadness that came with a lack of friends, only forming one whose relation ship with him would not develop romantically,

"I spent all mah time workin' on Sweet Apple Acres, after time finally took its toll on me," Annie Smith started explaining, "I just spent time preparin' the apples and cooking instead of havestin' them, then, later in life, after Applejack, Big Mac, and Applebloom's parents died I raised all three of them on my own, I did a pretty good job, if I do say so my self, and I do." bragging just a bit, realizing this she silently scolded her self on proper manners.

"You did, Applejack likes to boast and brag a bit that Sweet Apple Acres, even though it is only run by you four, is one of the most productive apple farms in Equestria, not to mention she's the element of honesty, " Discord said prasing Annie Smith, causing her to develop a crimson blush, he was enjoying embarrasing her a bit, "Big Mac is very kind and humble," he continued but did not think about the fact that he should not mention who had freed him from stone, "Applebloom and her two friends, Sweetie Bot and Scootafruit, no wait, aha! Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo! Yeah those three freed me from stone, remind me to thank them"

"Those three trouble makers did what now?" said Annie, very concerned about what she had just heard from Discord, wondering if she had heard correctly, and if she had, how much trouble would those three little fillies cause in the future?

"Disregard that, how come you stopped visiting me every so often? I really missed you, you sweet little apple of my eye, I was really concerned when you suddenly stopped visiting" asked Discord, wanting to know, as he had enjoyed her visits until they suddenly came to a halt.

"Sorry 'bout that, the guards became suspicious, they thought I was plannin' on releasing ya, back then the punishment for treason was death, or if the princesses were in a really good mood it was just banishment." Granny answered, she thought for a minute then added jokingly, "Let's hear your excuse for never visiting me."

"I was to 'stoned' to come and see you, I couldn't see anything actually!" Discord replied, hoping to make the mare laugh, he then got exactly what he had wanted, a good old fashioned hearty laugh. Quick hoofsteps could be heard hurrying up the hill, as if someone was hurrying to find them, a brown hat appeared over the hill top.

"Granny, there you are! You would have usually been home by now, Big Mac and I got a little worried so ah came lookin' for you," Applejack said, all worries about the old mare suddenly vanishing, she looked around a bit and noticed Discord, "oh! Howdy Discord, I see ya found 'er!"

"Yup, and she is just as lively and fun as I remembered her," said Discord, he gave Annie a small kiss on the cheek, which caused the elderly mare to giggle like a school filly,

"Why did ya just kiss my granny?" said Applejack, as Discord realized his mistake, knowing that if he admitted the truth he would very likely get kicked in the face by a professional kicker, if there was that sort of thing. Annie Smith and Discord looked at each other cautiously, they subconsciously agreed it would be easier on her if Annie told her.

"Applejack, I have somethin' important to tell ya, and I might as as well tell you now," Annie said cautiously, knowing what she said would be like a bandage and would be easier to put out there all at once, "You know Discord but you don't know this, we are married,"

"Wouldn't it have been easier on her to ease her into it instead of slamming it in her face like that?" said Discord, a bit concerned as it seemed as if Annie had broken Applejack, though not to seem to soft hearted in front of an Element of Harmony (even a most likely broken one) he added, "The look on her face was quite interesting though, I must add." as Applejack's face had twisted into a weird expression on confusion.

A small mutter of "Wait what?" was all that could be heard from Applejack before the mare blacked out, causing much concern from the draconequus and pony noticing this.

Author's Note

I have no idea where "Scootafruit" came from...

what's with me and shocking ponies in this chapter?

Sorry it took a bit longer, i wrote the others over the weekend and have had a lot of school work also sorry it's a bit shorter that the others! (By one word)

Welcome to the family!

Nothing could calm the couple, their minds racing about what to do, luckily nopony else was around to see and blame Discord at this time. Applejack twitched sending the draconequus a foot into the air. Even though it felt like an eternity (Discord would know, he was trapped in stone for one) about five minutes later the mare awoke, to calm himself down, Discord decided to make a cruel joke.

"Welcome back to the realm of the living Applejack," he started and smirked as he saw the panic creep across Apple jack's face, "we missed you!" he spread he arms and gave Applejack a hug that was tighter than the time she lassoed herself.

"Wait, WHAT?" Applejack explained, head looking back and forth, eyes darting around trying to figure out the situation, "What do you mean 'welcome back'?" the panic started to settle in as she started shaking. Discord noticed this and chuckled to himself.

"Well, you died of course!" Discord replied enjoying this as much as you would expect, "Why else would we look at you like that?" he was starting to enjoy this much more than should be possible, the panicked mare and the evil glare from his wife just added to the excitement.

Granny Smith shoved her hoof into Discord's mouth, luckily avoiding cutting it on his snaggle tooth, only removing it when she was certain Discord would stay quiet for the time being. She walked over to the panicking mare and started to calm her in anyway she could, a few ponies taking a late afternoon stroll through the park looked questioningly at the scene, trying to figure out what had freaked the mare out.

"Ignore him hun, he's tryin' to scare ya, you just blacked out for a few minutes, we were a bit worried that's all." said Granny, patting the mare on the back to calm her, this worked and soon Applejack was up on her feet back to her old self again.

"Wait I blacked out? Discord what did you do this time?" she asked waving her hooves at him trying to scare him into confessing, "I know you did something." Applejack gave Discord a glare that would have made... someone who's really good at glaring proud.

"Me?" he started faking being offended, "I did not do anything this time, it was your granny that put you into shock, why don't you ask her? Though, I guess I did play my part in what put you into shock." he added, hoping to annoy the already angered mare further, forgetting his fear.

Applejack snorted and hoofed at the ground, Discord suddenly remembering his far floated out of the mare's reach. It was noticeable to the ponies passing by that Discord was noticeably scared of Applejack, many of them snickered, everypony who did got a personal raincloud, that did not rain chocolate milk nor was it made of cotton candy.

"Sorry 'bout that hun, I thought it would be better if I pulled it off all at once, like a Band-Aid," said granny truly sorry, while Discord was preparing for a kick in the face, just in case, "I guess I was wrong wasn't I? Do you remember what I said that put you into shock?" she finished hoping she wouldn't have her black out again.

"It's still a bit fuzzy, I think you said somthin' about bein' married," she started wondering if the second part of her memory was true, "to Discord?" Applejack looked at Granny Smith, wondering if it would be better for her to confirm it or debunk it.

"Yes, that's exactly what I said," Annie said, truly worried about how Applejack would react to her confirming it, "I hope that doesn't affect your opinion of either of us in a bad way."

"I just hope you don't decide to kick me in the face," Discord added, making his one fear from the situation known, noticing the odd looks from the ponies he tacked on, "Come on! She kicks trees for a living! TREES! How is the thought of her kicking you in the face NOT SCARY?"

More ponies passing by snickered so he decided to up the punishment, clouds that rained molasses and peanut butter. Annie Smith gave him a good hard look, no matter how hard she tried he would not remove the clouds, ponies passing by stopped laughing at him and laughed at the other ponies instead, he then removed the clouds, much to the affected ponies happiness.

"Discord let's make a deal, if you don't threaten me, the farm, or mah family ever again, I don't kick you in the face deal?" Applejack said, extending her hoof to make the deal official.

All Discord could do is hastily shake her hoof, say "Deal", and let out a relived sigh before slinking down against the tree, relaxing after the treat of permanent hoof imprints on his face from Applejack was gone. He closed his eyes and imagined his perfect world. (also known as the world as it was when he ruled Equestria, but with Annie at his chaotic side)

"Wait, would that make you my grampy?" asked Applejack curiously, as she stood up and trotted over to Discord, looking at him questioningly, this action made Granny give Applejack the same look that she was giving Discord.

"Huh, I guess that would make me your 'grampy' as you put it," said Discord, amused, also wondering, "where are you going with this, pray tell?"

"Well, I'm willin' to bet nopony has said this to you yet, and it's a bit late but, welcome to the family, Grampy Cord!"

Author's Note

This would have been uploaded earlier if I dint keep losing paragraphs and my computer deciding it didn't like this page!

Look an extra word to make up for the missing one last chapter!

Backstory (Part 1)

Granny Smith and Discord were surprised with how the mare welcomed Discord to the family, no questions asked, Applejack just closed in and gave Discord a bone crushing hug.

"Um, thanks... I guess..." said Discord wondering why Applejack was so accepting of him being married to Smith.

"Hey Applejack, I have a few more things I have to do before supper, can you get that started, make sure you make enough for five, Discord's comin' for dinner whether he wants to or not!" said Granny Smith, after she realized why Applejack was suddenly so accepting.

"Sure Granny!" she responded, turning to Discord she added, "I hope you like apples Discord." Discord's response was just to gesture at his wife, and giving her a look that said, 'I'm married to an apple, if I disliked apples, it would be a fate worse than stone', Applejack giggled at this look.

Applejack trotted off, already planning dinner, leaving Annie Smith with a questioning look from he husband

"Why was she so quick to accept me into the family?" asked Discord, confused as hay, "That doesn't make sense!"

"Make sense? Oh what fun is there in making sense?" Annie replied, earning a glare from Discord, "Ok, fine, she was about 3 when her father died, the poor girl, never had a father figure, Big Mac helped guide her but wasn't quite a father figure, I think she's hopin' you'll be that father figure her life is missin' when Apple Bloom finds out she may react in the same manner."

"Great, now I'm going soft!" Discord thought to himself slightly upset, "I actually want to be a father figure for those two! What the hay?"

"Alright Discord, we better get goin', we don't want to be late for supper," said Annie interrupting his thoughts, after noticing the confused, angry look on his face, she thought it would be best to tear him away from those thoughts.

"Huh? Oh yeah, let's go," he said, hoping that he hadn't thought out loud, which he did sometimes, usually at the worst possible moment.

Discord had Granny climb on his back and they flew swiftly over to Sweet Apple Acres, Rainbow Dash saw them and nearly fell out of the sky, they saw this and chuckled.

Dinner was a large meal filled with all sorts of foods, though most were apple related in someway. Discord was stuck between Granny Smith, who he didn't mind, and Apple Bloom, who was going on and on about her day of crusading, Discord actually enjoyed hearing about all the trouble they had caused without knowing.

"Discord, Applejack told me you were married to Granny Smith is this true?" asked Apple Bloom, looking up at Discord with her huge eyes.

"Yes, I am married to Annie," said Discord, happily. As soon as she heard this Apple Bloom jumped out of her chair and gave Discord a hug, which surprised him more than Applejack was when she found out, "I'll take that as you don't mind me being in your family? What about you Big Mac?"

"Nope." said the bright red stallion, hoping, like the others, that Discord could be the father figure they lost so early on in their young lives.

"Of course not," Apple Bloom responded, "It will be interesting havin' you around here, OH! OH! Can you make the apples huge again? We could make a huge profit from those!"

"I wish I could, but Celestia hates it when I mess with the laws of nature," he said, there was a quick pause and a small frown on Apple Bloom's face, "You know what? Let's do it just to annoy Celly!" Granny Smith just facehoofed.

"Hey Granny how did you meet Discord anyhow?" said Applebloom, suddenly realizing she had no idea.

"That's a great story, how 'bout we go to the livin' room and I'll all of you about it!" said Granny, she received looks of approval from those around her.

They gathered around the living room as Granny started her story.

It was long ago, I was only 15 at the time, back then you were considered a full grow mare! I woke up one morning, went down stairs but none of the family was there. I quickly looked out side and I could not believe what I saw! Cotton candy clouds that rained chocolate milk, the river had been turned to pudding and our apples become huge, not to mention that the pigs could fly. I saw my family and rushed over, and I said, 'wow this is so awesome' I only received angry looks, tellin' me that they did not think the same, I just responded with, 'I'm going to go see if I could find the cause of this,' I looked around our small town for a bit and then I saw him, he was like no other creature I had ever seen before, I went up to him and asked 'who are you and how are you doing all the fun things?' His only response was,

'You think this is fun? Nopony has ever enjoyed my chaos or called it fun! It's actually supposed to be fun but everyone hates it! My name is Discord by the way.' I could tell he was actually upset no one liked it, so I told him, 'Why does no one think it's fun! Once you get past how different it is, you could actually live an almost care-free life in it!' the smile on his face was like he hadn't truly been happy in years it was then he asked me, 'do you want to go for a picnic sometime?'

Author's Note

This will have at least one more part and I'm sticking to 1004 words. That is all.

Backstory (Part 2)

It was that moment my stomach growled, as I hadn't eaten breakfast yet. He asked if then was an okay time and of course I said yes! He even made it stay day for the whole time, we talked and I turned out that we weren't so different, he asked if we could see each other again so we decided to meet at the same place sometime the next day (not one of his) Then I trotted home, happy about my new friend.

My family wasn't so happy. they yelled at me and told me I shouldn't go anywhere near that 'monster' Discord looked offended after hearing this statement. I argued on how he was helping our farm, our apples were huge, if we kept them we could earn a huge profit, they argued that the weather and weird animals were destroying our property, I eventually ended up storming off to my room, offended that they would say such mean things about my friend, it was hard enough with their constant jabbering to find a coltfriend.

My parents declared it dinner time and we talked about our day, well everpony but me, I was to afraid to say more. The next 'day' just like I had said I went to meet him. This continued for quite sometime, until one day there was a box on my bed table. There was a note that said 'Annie, we have been hanging out for so long, you know I'm not the romantic type so I'm going to make this simple, will you be my special somepony? check yes or no.' there were two boxes beneath reading what you would expect from him, 'yes' and 'definitely' I checked the definitely then opened the box, guess who got a pie to the face that day? Discord had a cheeky smile and chuckled a bit at this point, the other three apples were trying not to laugh to loudly

That day when I went to see him I greeted him with a kiss on the lips, he knew I had agreed to be his special somepony, but didn't expect a kiss so soon, the look on his face, as he would say was 'priceless' Discord stopped laughing and gave Annie Smith a slight glare, while the apple kids laughed hard enough to make up for Discord. That was the day we went on our first official 'date', it was a day I'll never forget.

It was at twilight, my favorite time of day, the most beautiful time, for once instead of speeding up the time, it went slower than a turtle with a limp. Discord had summoned all of my favorite foods, apple pies, apple fritters, cider, fruit salad with extra apples, a half and half mixture of chocolate milk and apple juice, don't knock it till you try it, and my favorite non apple related food, cotton candy. I was happier than I had ever been in my life. It was the only date we ever had with out any flying monkeys. Those things were very, interesting.

"Hey, can I tell some of our story?" Discord asked, wanting to get some attention too. The apple kids looked at Discord questioningly.

"Sure you can!" she replied, happy to take a break as her mouth was getting dry, "just wait here a minute," she added as she went to get herself a glass of apple juice. She came back and sat down right next to Discord.

Of course, after that, we went on quite a few more dates, some were almost 'normal' then a flying monkey would come out of nowhere. Sometimes they would be very romantic, with self playing violins and flying monkey butlers, others were laser tag with the flying monkeys. Some were just simple trips to the local café, it was run by the flying monkeys. There were a lot of flying monkeys. You ponies would have a lot of fun with them. One of our dates was in a giant bubble underwater, eventually came every stallions worse nightmare, meeting their marefriend's parents.

Annie told me her parents were excited she met a boy. She also told me I might want to have some healing spells ready. All the books in the world couldn't prepare me for their reaction. I won't give you the details, let me just say wars are less violent. It unfortunately ended with Annie and I banned from all apple property for life, your family luckily forgot about that. But she packed her things and moved into my chaotic mansion for the time being. Her adjusting to the lack of gravity may have been the funniest thing I ever saw. It was Granny Smith's turn to glare at Discord. She quickly adjusted though.

Now you would expect with all that chaos my proposal would have been the weirdest proposal in the history of forever, correct? He got several agreeing nods. It was, unintentionally. I wanted to do something traditional for once but the flying monkeys had a different opinion. One of them tried to take off with the ring, another threw apples at our heads, a third monkey somehow learned to fish slap. It was the best day of my life.

After she said yes she turned around, grabbed the fish slapping monkey's fish and slapped him so hard he even slid a few feet. You'd think when you proposed you'd be the most in love with your life forever, the record that was set quickly after did not last long as another apple was thrown at us, using the fish like a bat, she swung and the apple bounced off the apple throwing monkeys head, knocking him out of the tree, the tree, then hit the monkey still trying to get the ring. I have never loved her more, but I have never loved her any less since that day either.
