The Elements of Chaos Book II Return of Chaos Daddy Discord

Moonlight Chaos woke slowly. She found she was outside. She quickly stood upright and looked behind her. Then she remembered, Discord had been turned to stone by Luna and Celestia, she had fallen asleep in front of his statue. She looked around, the sun was high in the sky, the birds were singing and everything was peaceful. Moonlight hated it. She was used to seeing cotton candy clouds everywhere, things out of place, and everything in a discorded order. Moonlight heard somepony coming so she ducked behind a statue of a pony playing music. It was two earth ponies. She heard them talking, "Can you believe it? Harmony is in the land. No more chaos and disorder. No more cotton candy, no more soap roads, and no more chocolate rain." Moonlight frowned. She loved the chocolate rain. She loved the soap roads, and she loved Discord. She continued listening as the other one began talking. "I know. It's so beautiful. Luna and Celestia were so brave to stand up for us. Whatever made all of that." Moonlight began to grit her teeth, it hurt nopony appreciated chaos. And nopony probably ever would. When the two ponies walked away she walked back to Discord. She pressed her hoof against the cold, hard stone. She remembered what Discord had told her before Celestia and Luna turned him to stone. To make sure nopony saw her. She would be safer that way. And Celestia and Luna would not turn her to stone again. She looked up and said, "I am sorry I have to leave you. I promise I will be back. I will get you out..... eventually." She quickly turned and began running. She needed to find one of her friends. And fast. Moonlight began thinking, who was one of her friends she could get to quickly. Then she thought, Star Dim. She was very close and she could get there very quickly. She ran as fast as she could.

Moonlight stepped up to the door of Star Dim's dress shop. The Black Carousel. She slowly knocked. Star Dim quickly opened the door and let her in. Star walked up to her. "Lucky for you, I was the one you came to. The girls and I all agreed to stay here until you came looking for us." Star turned on the light and saw her friends sitting on the other side of the room. Crazed Candy said, "Are  you going to be okay sugarcube?" Star Dim and Cotton Feathers walked over to her. They were her closest friends and understood her better than any of the girls. Cotton Feathers said, "It's going to be okay." Star Dim put a hoof on Moonlight and said, "Cotton Feathers is right darling. You can stay with me for now if you want. And don't worry about Discord. He is going to be fine." Moonlight nodded she went over to the window. She looked at the sky expecting the moon to rise, but the sun stayed in it's place. Then Moonlight heard a voice. It was saying her name, "Moonlight." She quickly turned around and said, "Did you hear that?" The girls looked at her and shook their heads. Moonlight lowered her head and said, "Star, I will stay with you until the afternoon. Then I am going home. I need some time alone." Star Dim said in reply, "Of course darling. I understand." Star looked at the girls motioning for them to leave. They all nodded and trotted out the door. Moonlight looked up at the sky once again and thought. "Today is going to be a long day."

For the first part of the day Moonlight spent with Star. When she went out to run errands Moonlight would mix up her house. It reminded her of Discord. When Star came back Moonlight put everything in it's place. Around ten Star Dims younger sister came to visit. Her name was Sweetie Blossom. Moonlight had to hide for most of her visit. She noticed Sweetie Blossom tried to help her sister a lot but it would always end in a disaster. Then when eleven came and Sweetie Blossom had to leave, Moonlight came out from hiding. "Star, I think I am going to go home." Star Dim looked a little worried and said, "Are you sure about that Moonlight darling? This is a very busy time of day. A lot of ponies are out right now. You could be seen." Moonlight smirked and said, "No problem." Moonlight's horn flickered and she transformed into a pegasus with curly hair. Star shrieked, "Moonlight! Your horn, it's gone! You have no magic!" Moonlight giggled and said, "Don't worry. It is only a spell. I can reverse it. Discord showed me how to do it." Moonlights smile quickly faded and then she said, "Bye Star. I will see you tonight." Star nodded and waved her hoof as Moonlight walked off. She noticed Moonlight walked in the shadows of ponies and buildings and looked frightened just walking past a young filly. Star Dim hoped this would not last too long and shut her door quietly.

Moonlight walked into her room and landed on her bed. The house was the only thing that was not changed when Luna and Celestia reversed all of Discord's chaotic spells. She slowly walked down the hall and walked into Discord's bedroom. She flew on to his bed. It was so soft. Moonlight felt very tired and fell asleep. In her dreams she constantly saw Discord. He was so close and yet so far away. All of the memories she had just washed into one dream. Some made her laugh, others made her cry. More then anything she wanted to see him again. She wanted chaos back. She wanted Discord back. And she would do anything to make that happen.
