The fuzzy red carpet felt good under my hooves as we walked down the long hallways of Canterlot Castle. If it weren't for Discord, I'd probably be lost. Every so often, we'd pass a window with some kind of amazing achievement from the past, a few of which being my friends and I.

I still don't understand how Twi could live in a place so big but boring for two years straight, with none of her friends. The princesses, sure, they'd be her friends (I hope), but wouldn't it be nice if you had some friends to spend time with that weren't thousands of years older than her? I shrugged my mind's subject of.

"Pinkie Pie!" Discord shouted.

"WHA!" I yelled as I snapped out of my trance of deep thought.

"I've been trying to talk to you for the past minute, but obviously you don't care enough to listen!" He said, narrowing his eyes.

"Sorry, I'll listen, I was just thinking." I said.

"Alright." He said, turning back into his dranconquis self. "The princesses private chambers are right part the left way of that coming hallway." He said.

"Private?" I asked. "We wanna go to the private chambers of the princesses?" He shrugged.

"Why not?" He asked.

"What part of private do you not understand?!" I shouted. My phrase echoed repeatedly a few times through the empty hallways.

"Oh, I understand, I just usually don't listen to that kind of stuff."Discord smirked.

"Discord, I-" I stopped as I white golden-plated hoof stepped right in front of my own.

"Mister, miss, what do you think you're doing?" A guard asked.

"What do you mean?" Discord asked.

"Past this point is the princesses private chambers. I cannot allow you to pass." He said, keeping his stone face on.

"But,I need to see Princess Twilight!" I cried.

"And what gives you the right?" He asked.

"I'm her best friend!" I said.

"Yeah right." He replied.

"I'm also the Element of Laughter!" I said, my eyes narrowing. I didn't feel right using my element as a privilege, but it could've been a way to get in.

"I'll believe it when I see it." He said.

"I can't! We had to return the elements!" I said, growing annoyed.

"Look, I don't care who you are, or why you're with Discord, but you'll either have to leave or take you into captivity until further notice." He said, glaring at me as a blue aura began to wrap around his horn. Discord laughed nervously.

"I don't know about you, but I think leaving sounds like a stupendous idea!" He grinned.

"I am not leaving until I talk to Twilight!" I said, stamping my hoof against the ground. Whatever common sense I had left was drowned out by my confidence and ignorance. A hard nudge came from Discord.

"Suit yourselves." His horn flashed, and we were teleported to a room, rather large, and having luxurious things I never thought somepony captive would get.

"What in Equestria were you thinking!?" Discord shouted.

"Sorry, I just really wanna try and talk to Twilight," I said. "And I'm not giving up that easily." I smirked. "Why were you so nervous back there?"

"Nervous? Whatever are you talking about?" He chuckled. I raised my eyebrows.

"Fine, fine." He said. "It wasn't a big deal, it's just, when you've been imprisoned twice and threatened to be again, it's easy to develop a small phobia." He said. "Now, let's get out of here." He said while he snapped his claws.

Nothing happened.

"W-what's going on?" He said. He snapped multiple times. Still no reply by his all-knowing magic.

I sat down on a nearby cushion and watched with a worried expression plastered on my face.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"No!" He snapped. "The one thing that has been holding my life half afloat is gone!" His ears taped to the back of his head.

"Calm down!" I said.

"Coming from you, I don't think I can!" Discord cried.

"And what's that supposed to mean?" I asked, raising my eyebrows again.

"Never mind that, mind why my magic isn't here!" He said, loosing his usual handle on things.

I reached my foreleg up and wrapped it around his grey neck. I pulled him down, making his back arch. I pressed my nose against his.

"For Celestia's sake!" I cried "calm down!

"You expect me to calm down when something that's part of me is missing?" He huffed.

"It's not missing, it was probably taken away." I said calmly.

"Why would it be taken away?" He asked.

"Well, what's the point of captivity when you can just teleport out?" I asked. "When that guard teleported us her, he probably room away all magic so we couldn't get out!" I explained.

"I'll believe you, but just because it's sounds like the best scenario." Discord replied. I shrugged off his comment.

~~~~~~~~~~

I lazily played with the tuft of mane thy hung in front of my face. I looked up and saw Discord looking out the window. The sun was going down. There was a view of Celestia's balcony from there, where she stood with her sister to rise the moon and lower the sun. Both of their horns were lot with their aura as the sun and moon moved slow and steady.

"Whatchya looking at?" I asked as I walked up to him, waggling my eyebrows and elbowing him.

"What?" He blurted, snapping out of his trance. "Nothing!" I light tint of pink covered his cheeks. I laughed.

"Look luck with that!" I said as I walked away from the window and settled back on the cushions where I was on before.

"I have three days." I said as my smile faltered.

Discord turned around and flapped his wings, making him fly towards the pile of cushions where I was sitting. I settled down beside my and curled up like a snake. He rested his head on the ground and closed his eyes, probably intent on getting some sleep. I did the same as laid my head down beside him and yawn. I closed my eyes and slept.
