The Elements of Chaos Book II Return of Chaos Daddy Discord

Moonlight slowly opened her eyes. Stone was right in front of her face. "What's wrong Stone?" Moonlight asked. Stone quickly flew into the blanket and crawled into Moonlights hooves. She could feel him shaking. He felt a little cold and he looked worried. "It's okay Stone. Nopony is going to hurt you. Did you have a nightmare?" The cockatrice looked at her and nodded. Moonlight pushed the blankets away. "Well since you already woke me up, do you want to go outside for a while?" Stone went onto Moonlights back and rubbed against her mane. Moonlight walked over to the window. "Alright, but you have to be quiet. Discord is probably not awake yet." Stone jumped off her back and flew out the window. Moonlight was about to open her wings when she heard a noise by her door. She slowly walked over and opened the door. She looked around and into the hall. Nothing. Moonlight smiled. "Discord? Is that you?" She heard nothing. So she walked over to the window. She opened her wings and flew out the window. Then she felt something touch her. She turned around and saw Discord behind her. She laughed. "So that WAS you. What are you doing out here?" Discord smiled. "I heard you saying you were going outside with Stone. I figured I might as well follow you." Moonlight looked at him. "You were eavesdropping on me again weren't you?" Discord pretended to look hurt. "What! I can't help it!" Moonlight flew over to him and hugged him. "Don't worry. I'm fine with you doing that. I sometimes do the same with you." Discord looked shocked. "And just how many times have you done that?" Moonlight laughed nervously. "Three or four times already. I can't help it either." Discord laughed. Then he pointed behind her. "I think Stone is looking for you." Moonlight turned around and saw the cockatrice. He looked a little hurt. Moonlight stroked his scales and feathers. "Come on Stone. I won't leave you alone again."

Moonlight took Stone to a small spot in the Everfree Forest she had found recently. It was a small bit of land surrounded by trees. A small pond was in the middle and a small pile of rocks that Stone liked to climb on. At the front of the ring of trees there was a small cliff with a ledge where Moonlight could see everything. She laid down next to Discord and watched Stone fly around and climb on the rocks. Discord watched as the cockatrice moved from place to place. "That is a very active cockatrice." Moonlight looked at him and sighed. "He has not been outside for a while. He could use a little running around and freedom. Besides I think I could use a bit of night air as well." Discord looked down at her. Then he saw her horn beginning to glow. The stars began to switch and move and then they turned into chaotic shapes and patterns. After a while she looked down at Stone. He looked a little lonely. "I think I'm going to give Stone a little company." Moonlight slipped out of Discord's grasp and flew down to Stone. He looked more excited. Then Moonlight began to chase Stone and flew around with him. Then Stone knocked Moonlight over and curled next to her. Discord could hear Moonlight laughing. "Come on Stone! Get off me!" The cockatrice just walked on her and still refused to move. Discord flew over to her. "Discord can you get him off me? He won''t move!" Discord just stared at her. "No." Moonlight looked surprised. She smiled and said."What! Why not?"  Then Stone began to tickle her with his claws. Discord laughed as Stone ran his claws through Moonlights fur, tickling her. Moonlight began to laugh. "Discord help me!" Discord continued to laugh. "No, this is too funny." Moonlight continued laughing. "I'm going to get you back for this!" Discord smirked. "And how are you going to do that? You still have a cockatrice on top of you." Moonlight tried to stop laughing. "I don't know. But I am going to get him off of me!" Discord flew up to her face. "I don't think so." Then Discord took his claw and raised in the air. Moonlight stopped laughing for a small moment. "Don't.....you.....dare!" Discord gave a devious smile. "Sorry but your not being tortured enough." Moonlights eyes shrank. "Oh please no." Discord brought his claw down and began to run it completely down Moonlights body. Moonlight laughed even harder. "Discord please stop! I can't take it!" Discord stopped for a moment. Then he looked at Stone and thought for a minute. "No." Then he continued. Moonlight could hardly breathe. So she cast a spell and disappeared. Discord looked around. "Now where did she go?" Then Moonlight appeared in the air and pushed him down. Then she cast a spell on Stone causing him to stand still. Then she did the same with Discord. Discord smiled nervously. He tried to move but he was stuck. Moonlight returned the smile but it was a very sly looking one. Then she pulled one of her larger feathers from her wings. Then she aimed the feather at Discord. "I told you I was going to get you back!" Discord sighed. "Bring it on. Do your worst my dear." Moonlight lowered the feather and started to tickle him. For some reason she knew exactly which places to tickle him. Discord began to laugh. Eventually he couldn't take it. He snapped his fingers and pinned Moonlight down. Her eyes shrank. "I'm toast right?" Discord nodded. "Oh you have no idea."

Moonlight sighed. "What are you going to do to me?" Discord moved closer to her. "You'll see...." Then he snapped his fingers causing Moonlights wings and horn to disappear. Moonlight looked at her back and saw her wings were gone. Then she looked up and saw her horn was gone. "What was that for?" She looked up. Discord was gone. She looked around for a while but she still could not find him. "Discord! Where are you?" Then she felt something grab her. She did not have her wings so she could not fly. And she did not have her horn so she could not cast a spell. Then she looked up, it was Discord. "Got you!" Moonlight tried to move but Discord held her tightly. Moonlight could feel Discord's paw running through her mane. She felt so relaxed and comfortable like this she didn't want it to stop. Then Discord put Moonlight down. She looked a little tired. "I think it's time we went home, don't you?" Moonlight watched as Stone crawled on her back then he curled his tail around her so he would not fall off. "It looks like it is time." Discord quickly grabbed Moonlight and flew back with her out into the distance.
