The Elements of Chaos Book III Chaos and Love

After a week had gone by after the party Silverpants had in Canterlot, everypony was beginning to see the colts they had met. Star Dim visited Canterlot frequently and began going out to lunch with Silverpants every week. Blazing Dash went back home after his trip. But still visited Discorded Swirls often. Chocolate Pie and Raspberry would stay at Sugarcube Corner all day and eat sweets and talk to each other. Crazed Candy and Bitter Tart wrote to each other and on certain occasions Crazed would join Star on her trips to Canterlot. Because of this Moonlight did not get to see her friends as often, but she had more time with Discord and the foals. Cotton Feathers had met many colts at the party but there was one colt that she grew to like. He was a very shy, orange, Pegasus. Butterscotch. She found out that he lived very close to Chocolate Pie so she visited him often. Everypony slowly began to come together.

Butterscotch had been visiting Cotton Feathers for the past few weeks. Butterscotch was an orange Pegasus with a pale pink mane. Ever since he had met her in Canterlot he was spending more time with her then ever. They each were afraid of many things and both had very shy personalities. Butterscotch was usually too afraid to talk to anypony but the two bumped into each other and somehow clicked. After he knew her a little better Cotton was going to introduce him to her friends. He was a little nervous but they were her friends nothing could go wrong, right?

Discord was slowly beginning to notice changes with Moonlight. She would always be busy, wether it was taking care of the foals, helping her friends get something done, or just helping him. She began waking up very early and went to bed very late. And as time went on she began looking very tired and beat up. She was working too hard. Every time he tried to help she would just work harder, thinking that she was probably being to lazy and was not doing enough. Every night he would watch her curl and tense up. She clenched her teeth and her mane was getting very messy. He decided he was going to put an end to this. Permanently, even if it meant doing things he did not want to do. Especially to her.

Discord first put a sleeping spell on Moonlight, that way she would not be so tired. Especially since she had stayed up almost the entire night trying to get the foals to go to bed. When they finally woke up he made sure they stayed quiet. When they were comfortable he went back into their bedroom. After a while Moonlight slowly woke up. She looked at Discord and her eyes shrank. "Your awake! How long was I asleep? What time is it? I'm sorry! I'll take care of everything! This won't happen again, I promise!" Moonlight was about to run out the door when Discord stopped her. "You are not going anywhere." Moonlight looked a little angry. "Discord let me out. Why are you doing this?" Discord shut their door. "Because your tired. Look at you! Your a mess! Your working too hard, your staying up too late, you don't have the time to relax anymore!" Moonlight grit her teeth. "I'm not working to hard! I'm not tired! Let me out!" Discord shook his head. "And that's another thing, you are completely stressed out. You can barely even stand!" Moonlight then used her magic to bring her outside the door. Discord snapped his fingers and brought her back into his arms. "Discord! Let me go!" Discord looked at her, she looked tired and completely crazy. "Let me think about that.......no!" Moonlight tried to move but Discord held on to her tightly. She tried to use her magic again but Discord took away her wings and horn. "Stay still!" He said. But Moonlight kept trying to move. "No! Let me go!" Discord had enough he put her on the bed. When she got up she almost fell. She was getting weaker. "Moonlight, you need to calm down! Relax!" Discord said. Moonlight began breathing heavily. "No......" Then Discord flew over to her and gently knocked her down. He put back on the bed and moved his claw up and down her body. He could hear her breathing beginning to slow down. "That's better. Calm down." She slowly began to breathe normally, then she tried to get up but Discord held her down. "No, stay still." Moonlight tried to move. "Make me....." She said in a weak voice. Discord sighed. "Fine......I really didn't want to do this....." He quickly flew off. Moonlight got up. She was about to walk out when Discord came back holding a key. He turned and locked their door then he melted the key into a puddle of chocolate milk. Then he put a spell on the door. Then he pointed towards their bed. "Bed. Now." Moonlight didn't listen. She ran to the door but blocked her. She couldn't open or even touch it. She then began kicking the door. But it just sent her flying back towards the walls. Moonlight looked extremely  angry. Discord realized that in the condition she was in ANYTHING could easily put her over the edge. Then he reached over to the side of their room and pulled out a small toy he had given her that looked like him. Moonlights eyes shrank. "Don't touch that!" Discord raised his claw towards it. Moonlight looked terrified. "Please don't touch it! Stop!" Discord pulled his claw away. "Then get on the bed." Moonlight clenched her teeth her mane was out of control. "NO!" Discord sighed. "Suit yourself." He raised his claw back up to the toy and ripped its body open. The stuffing fell everywhere. Moonlight gasped. "Leave it alone! Stop it!" Discord raised his claw again and sliced the arms and legs apart. Moonlight curled up and looked furious. "STOP! PUT IT DOWN!" Discord sliced the face. A huge scratch appeared across the entire toy. Discord had been right. By destroying the toy he had gotten her to stay still, he hated doing this. But it was working, he had reached the limit. Moonlight snapped. Everything erupted. She screamed and threw herself to theground. Then she began to cry. Everything burst out. "NO!" Tears fell down her face, her entire body was shaking. She curled up and very quickly she was surrounded by a pool of tears. Discord picked her up off the floor and brought her onto the bed. He gently started stroking her mane fixing all the messed up parts and straightening it out. Her crying sounded quieter but she was still flooded with tears. Discord brought the remains of the toy and used his magic to put everything together. He gently touched her and handed it to her. "I'm sorry." Moonlight picked up the toy and cuddled with it. "I'm sorry too. I guess your right, I am a little tired. maybe I do work too hard sometimes." Discord returned Moonlights horn and wings. "I want you to stay here. No excuses, no complaints, no reasons. If you need something ask me. Understand?" Moonlight nodded. "I understand. I am starting to feel a little tired now anyway especially after all that planning." Discord looked at her. "Wait, what were you REALLY doing last night?" Moonlight sighed and closed her eyes. "Cotton Feathers and Butterscotch are going on a date in a few days and Cotton wanted me to help." Discord sighed. "Looks like everypony's falling in love now." Moonlight  laughed. "I did with you, why can't they fall in love with somepony?"Moonlight yawned. Slowly a small smile began to form. Moonlight began to yawn again. "You need to get some sleep. I do not want you leaving this room until Disharmony gets you." Discord said. He pulled the blankets over her. He gently kissed her and flew out of the room.
