The Elements of Chaos Book IIII The Second Generation

Silverpants told everyone what was going to happen in the next few days. He had been organizing a gala with some of the ponies of Canterlot. It was going to be one of the largest gatherings in Equestria history. It was going to be hosted in Luna and Celestia's castle. Many ponies were trying to fix up the parts that had been destroyed and everything was almost finished. Many things were going to take place there. The Wonderbolts were going to be performing a flight show, Star Dim was going make all the outfits everypony would wear, Chocolate Pie and Raspberry Pie were going to help decorate, Flutterbreeze was going to sing with Shimmering Star, and Crazed Candy was going to help make all the food for the event. Everypony became very excited until finally the day came.

"Come on Chaotic Blaze! We're going to miss the train!" Rainbow Swirl said. Star Dim leaned over to Discorded Swirls. "Is she always like this?" Discorded nodded. "Oh you have no idea." Discord sighed. "I'll get him." He flew all the way over to where Chaotic Blaze was and picked him up and brought him to Blazing Dash and Discorded Swirls. "Thank you Discord." Discorded Swirls said. Diamond Ring groaned. "Can we please leave now? I'm tired of waiting." Chocolate Pie giggled. "Sure we can Diamond! Silverpants sent me all of our tickets! Raspberry do you have them?" Raspberry pulled them out of his shirt pocket. "I certainly do! Now we can all go and have fun!" Diamond rolled his eyes. "It's about time." Star Dim glared at her son. "Diamond Ring, mind your manners." Diamond nodded. "Yes Mother." Then one by one they all boarded the train. As soon as everyone was seated the train began to move. "Oh this is going to be so much fun! I can't wait until you guys see how Raspberry and I decorated the place!" Chocolate squealed. Strawberry Pie smiled. "I'll be it will look perfect Mom." Chocolate hugged her daughter. "Aw! Thank you Strawberry! Your so sweet!" Shimmering Star smiled. "I can't wait until Fluterbreeze and I get to sing!" Star Dim glanced at Cotton Feathers, then at Flutterbreeze. "How did my daughter convince your daughter to sing?" Cotton shrugged. "I have no idea." Flutterbreeze sighed. "Please don't make me nervous. I didn't want to do this. But because Shimmering Star insisted, I accepted." Shimmering Star nodded. "She has a beautiful voice! And besides with her sweet voice and my graceful voice we shall bring hundreds of ponies to us, maybe even thousands!" Flutterbreeze hid behind her mane. Screwball moved closer to her. "Don't worry Flutterbreeze. You and Shimmering Star will do great, you do have a great singing voice." Flutterbreeze looked up. "I do?" Shimmering Star cut in. "Of course you do darling. Why else would I have asked you to sing with me?" Flutterbreeze straitened up. "Well, okay. If you say so." Then she glanced at Diamond Ring and blushed. Screwball glanced at Diamond. "Do you like him?" Flutterbreeze began to look nervous again. "Um.....a little...I want to see if he will dance with me but I'm too afraid to ask. What if he says no?" Screwball smiled. "Don't worry, even if he says no, somepony will be out there that will be fit for you. I think Diamond likes you too. It's kind of like what Mom and Dad did." Flutterbreeze looked at her. "What happened with your parents?" Screwball pointed to Moonlight and Discord. Moonlight was leaning against Discord while he was playing with her mane. "They met when they were really young. Daddy said that he had loved her for a while. But something happened, and he couldn't see her for a while. Later they were able to find each other again and their love grew stronger and then they got married." Flutterbreeze gasped. "Wow, what happened to your Mom before they found each other again?" Screwball shrugged. "I'm not sure, but it made Daddy really angry and so he took over Equestria. But they found each other so that's enough for me." Flutterbreeze leaned over to Screwball. "I'm glad your Dad took over Equestria, I like his chaos." She whispered. Screwball smiled. "Thanks, I do too." Just then they were interrupted by Vanilla Pie. "I can see Canterlot from here!" Then everypony gathered towards the window. Vanilla was right, Canterlot was not very far. Everyone began cheering and laughing. The Gala was moments away.

When everyone got off the train they were greeted by Silverpants. He ran over to his wife and children. "I'm so glad you could make it! How was the train ride?" Star Dim smiled. "Busy, but not too noisy. Everypony enjoyed the train." Silverpants nodded. "That's wonderful!" Then he looked at everypony and waved his hoof. "Everyone come with me! I shall take you to the castle!" Chocolate Pie talked the entire way. "This is so exciting! I have never been so excited in my entire life!" By the time they reached the Everfree Forest Silverpants announced what was going to happen. "When we get into the castle you be shown to rooms where you can change into the outfits Star Dim made for all of you, then you will shown where you are to go next." Discord sighed. "Why must you ponies always be so organized with everything. Let's just hurry and get there already!" Then he opened his wings and quickly flew deeper into the Everfree Forest. Moonlight quickly followed. Silverpants laughed. "Those two are just impossible." Star Dim smiled. "This is Moonlight and Discord we're talking about, being organized and having a schedule for everything is not really their thing." Silverpants pointed to Screwball, Disharmony, and Stellaluna. "Then why are they still here?" Star Dim sighed. "They want to be with their friends, they are all getting older. They won't want to spend EVERY moment with their parents. That's something you and I know we can't change. And I agree with Discord, can we just get to the castle and have some fun?" Silverpants nodded. "Yes dear. I'm sorry for being so rude." Star Dim nodded. "It's quite alright. Let's make it to the castle first."

When they finally reached the castle they found Discord and Moonlight floating in the air playing chess. Cotton Feathers looked up at them. "Who's winning?" Moonlight pointed to Discord. "He's winning." Discord sighed. "You know you don't have to take it easy on me. I want a challenge." Cotton Feathers smiled. "Come on Moonlight, I've seen you play harder then that!" Moonlight gave Discord a smile. "Alright fine. Don't say I didn't warn you." Then Moonlight picked up one of the black pieces and take half of Discord's white pieces. "There, your turn." Discord stared at the board in shock. "When did you learn to play like this. I've never met anyone that could play as well as me." Moonlight laughed. "Cotton Feathers and I used to play all the time." Discord used his magic to levitate one of his pieces and took away a small portion of Moonlight's pieces. "There! Now let's see how well you do." Moonlight took a quick glance at the board and moved one piece all the way across the board. "Check mate Discord." Discord stared at her in shock. "What! How did you do that! Nobody has ever been able to beat me before." Moonlight used her magic to get rid of the board and pieces. "I guess I just got lucky." Discord sighed. "Fine, you win. After this you and I are doing this again, and I have a feeling you won't be so lucky next time." Moonlight laughed. "Alright. But can we go inside now?" Discord rolled his eyes. "Yes, of course." Cotton Feathers stopped Moonlight. "Good job, it's about time somepony beat him. I couldn't even get halfway through before he defeated me." Moonlight looked confused. "When did you play chess with him." Cotton turned and said. "I have my ways." Moonlight giggled and slowly walked into the castle.
