A Talk With AJ

Previous Chapter

Luna teleported to the front door of the apple farm. Luna took a moment to look at her surroundings before knocking. She saw trees all around full of apples of many kind, glistening with color like a painted picture, and the aroma of ripe apples filled her nose. For that one moment she was in bliss, but then she remembered the reason she was there.

Luna rapped he hoove on the door three times, hearing it's deep echo resonate through the old house. After a moment a familiar pony with orange fur opened the door to let Luna in. Luna was taken aback by Applejack's maine, which was messy, and had the symptoms of bed head.

If Luna was surprised by appearance, Applejack was surprised by the pony at the door. It was not that she didn't like her, it was just rare that Luna ever visit her. Applejack broke the silence saying, "Why don't y'all come in? "

Luna expression changed from a surprised one to a happy one, "Yes, I would love to come in, in fact I came to talk, if you don't mind?"

"Ofcourse we can talk, why would y'all think I wouldn't be happy to see an old friend." Applejack said with a teasing smile. She then waved Luna inside her farm house.

Luna was surprised at how neat and comfy the place looked, and as she followed AJ to what seemed to be the kitchen she saw photos of the apple family going generations back. Luna said with Sincerety, "Wow, you keep this place nicer then we keep the castle."

AJ chuckled before explaining Luna the ways of the apple family, "Nah, princess, it isn't as nice as y'alls palace, but here everything has significance. Our family works hard fo even the simplest of items. Luna nodded, she never really thought so much about how other none royal ponies lived, until now.

Once they've arrived in the apple scented kitchen, applejack sat Luna down in the biggest chair she had. "So, princess what y'all come ta talk to me about? " AJ asked trying to contain her curiosity.

Luna became serious for what she had to say. "I'm here to talk about Discord. " AJ cringed at the name at wich she was just told.

"Why, should we talk about that varmot, he is as bad as scum. " lunar was shocked at AJ, she had hoped AJ would have calmed down after the Terik incident, but she still seemed as mad as the moment Discord betrayed Fluttershy.

"Discord is in more pain then I've ever seen him in,  he might be on the virge of destroying himself. " AJ noticed how serious Luna was, when she said that, but it didn't make any sense. When she last saw Discord he was in a good mood, just after Tirek was defeated, why would things be different now?

Luna noticed the confusion on AJ's face, so she added, "Discord's pain comes in dreams, which every night of Fluttershy being murdered in someway. Discord after a couple of nights of these dreams realized just how severe the consequences for his actions could have been. I know you don't like Discord, but Ive seen him cry, and now he's stopped doing Chaos. Please help him learn the meaning of friendship, which can't exist without honesty.

Applejack sat in silence for a while, for a while, for there was a lot to take in. Finally she said with uncertainty, "Alright I will help Discord, but if he stays longer than a day, he has to sleep in the barn. Luna sighed in relief.

"Thank you Applejack." Luna said before disappearing to tell Discord the news.


Luna appeared in the middle of Discord's room. Discord gasped covering himself up, "Can't you at least knock Princess, I know you like me but not enough to see me naked." He said with a smirk. Luna was surprised he actually made a joke, he seemed to feel a bit better. Discord noticed Luna's obvious surprise. "Princess crying my eyes out seemed to make me feel better, I guess it was the fact I knew someone cared. Anyway did you speak with AJ about your idea?"

"Yes Discord, I did, and she said yes. Just please don't try to piss her off to much, she wasn't to happy with the idea as it is."

Discord gave a mysterious grin and said, "You know me?" He then snapped his fingers and disappeared.

"That's what I'm afraid of. " Luna stopped and thought, was Discord really worth it, and why did Discord have mood swings in such amount of times? Was he really sad? Luna gasped, "Why does chaos have to be so chaotic!?"

After a minute Luna broke into a fit of laughter. She calmed herself down, and reminded herself she had faith in Discord. Anyway she had 5 other ponies to talk to I better get going, she said to herself.

She lit her horn up and disappeared.
