Chaos is Life

Four years. It had only been four years since Moonlight had defeated Nightmare Moon and Solar Flare. Many things changed during that time. All of her friends had gotten married, and now they had children of their own. Not only that but they were all growing very fast. Screwball the oldest of all of them was now eight. She had gotten more and more active and her magic was getting stronger. Stellaluna and Disharmony were both six. Both of them had also grown and their magic had improved greatly. Moonlight's friends were very happy to see that they now had a family. All of their children became friends. Dark Chaos also started another family. She married Black Skies and they had a young filly, they named her Starlight Chaos. By this time everypony was beginning to relax and start enjoying being together again.

"But Mom! I'm not tired! Daddy, help me!" Disharmony groaned. He did not want to go to sleep right now. Moonlight sighed. "Listen Disharmony, tomorrow you are going to get to play with all your friends, and your father and I are going to see our friends. But that won't happen unless you go to bed. Besides both your sisters are in bed now." Disharmony frowned. "That's just it, I'm too excited to go to sleep now! Why can't I stay up like you and Dad can?" Discord rolled his eyes. "Listen to your mother mister. I can understand why you would be excited but we have sleep to you know." Disharmony sighed. "Fine, I'll go to bed. Can I least stay up though?" Moonlight smiled. "Alright, but don't stay up too late." Disharmony smiled. "Thank you Mom! Goodnight!" Moonlight and Discord both left. "Goodnight Disharmony." Discord shut the door and sighed. "Why do I have a feeling he isn't going to get much sleep tonight?" Moonlight glared at him. "He's excited, besides he takes this from you. And he is the youngest. Let him have a little fun. Don't you remember what you used to do when you were younger?" Discord smirked. "I can't stop if you keep reminding me! And yes I remember." Moonlight giggled. "You used to try and keep all Dark Chaos and I up all night." Discord shrugged. "Hey! I was younger! Besides why would you want to sleep when we had nobody to tell us when we had to? And you two had fun anyway." Moonlight smiled and shook her head. "Well let's try not to wake the other two up. Besides I'm getting a little tired anyways." Discord groaned. "Fine, your no fun." Moonlight glared at him. "Excuse me? I'm no fun?" Discord got a little nervous. "Moonlight, calm down. You know I didn't really mean that." Moonlight gave him a sly grin. "You didn't really mean it? Would someone who's no fun do this?" Discord backed up. "Moonlight, please don't, I'm sorry okay. I guess I'm a little tired too." Moonlight began to relax. "Alright fine. I forgive you. And you say I'm no fun." Discord rolled his eyes. "That wasn't very nice." Moonlight smirked. "I know." Then she laughed and flew into their bedroom. Discord chased after her. "Just so you know, tomorrow you are in SO much trouble." Moonlight rolled her eyes. "I'm so scared." Discord leaned into her face. "You should be." Moonlight pushed him away and got into bed. Then the light's went off. Then she saw something glowing. "Give it a rest Discord!" Then she heard Discord groan. "You ruin everything!" Moonlight laughed. "Yes I do."

Children of Chaos

The morning was extremely chaotic. As Discord predicted Disharmony had a very difficult time waking up. Screwball and Stellaluna on the other hoof were ready immediately. "Disharmony, how late did you stay up?" Moonlight asked. Disharmony groaned and opened his eyes. "Only an extra hour or two." Then he looked at Moonlight and began to laugh. "What's so funny?" Disharmony continued laughing and began to yawn. Moonlight sighed. She cast a spell on him giving him extra energy. Disharmony jumped up off his bed. "Thank you Mom." Moonlight nodded. "Your welcome, next time we tell you that you need to go to sleep, listen to us alright? Your father and I had to learn that the hard way." Disharmony nodded and began to laugh again. "Okay Mom." Moonlight let him out the door and went over to a mirror. She looked at herself and laughed. Her mane was now red. "Very funny Discord! Can you save it until after this is over?" Then she looked up to see Discord laughing. "Fine, can we go now?" Moonlight cast a spell and made her hair return to it's normal colors. "We can go. But it's going to take a lot more then mixed up hair to really get me that mad." Discord rolled his eyes. "You are too much."

The first thing Screwball, Disharmony, and Stellaluna did was run off to play with the other foals. All of them looked just like their parents. Midnight and Shimmering Star were the daughters of Star Dim and Silverpants. Midnight was a dark blue Unicorn with a purple mane in large curls. Shimmering Star was a  Unicorn with a coat that had a mixture of blue and black creating a very dark color. Shimmering Star's mane was much like her mothers, with blue and a small amount of purple. Midnight and Shimmering Star had a brother named Diamond Ring. He had a light blue coat like his father and a curly purple mane like his sister. All three of them were very vain and very fussy, but they could still get along with each other. Flutterbreeze was the daughter of Cotton Feathers and Butterscotch. She had her fathers pale orange coat along with her mother's blue mane and teal eyes. Vanilla Pie, Dark Chocolate Pie, and Strawberry Pie were the triplet daughter's of Chocolate Pie and Raspberry Pie. Vanilla Pie had a vanilla cream colored coat with a very pale yellow mane. Dark Chocolate Pie looked much like her mother. She had a dark brown coat with a milk chocolate colored mane. Strawberry Pie looked very much like her father, she had a hot pink and red coat with a very bright pink mane. All three of them had cheerful attitudes but in some way they were different, Dark Chocolate had a slightly more devious and cruel side. Strawberry Pie had a slightly calmer attitude. Vanilla Pie had the brightest and most cheerful side out of the three, she was very much like her mother and father. Rainbow Swirl and Chaotic Blaze were the foals of Discorded Swirls and Blazing Dash. Rainbow Swirl had a grey coat like her parents but she had a colorful rainbow mane, unlike her mother who had a darker and more chaotic rainbow colors, Blazing Dash had more bright colors in his mane like fire. Chaotic Blaze also had a grey coat but his mane was like his mother, full of dark colors. They both were very rough and aggressive but Rainbow Swirls had the same ability her mother had, she could corrupt ponies with her flying skills. Twisted Taffy was the daughter of Crazed Candy and Bitter Tart. She was named after the candy Chocolate Pie and Discord came up with. She had a nature like the candy itself. A very crazy silly attitude. She had a tendency to annoy others very quickly. She was a very frisky and active filly. They had all grown to like each other and developed deep friendships.

The day passed very quickly, after all the foals began to play everyone else began to talk and enjoy each others company. The girls separates from their husbands and talked about their family and went into a more girly conversation. The stallions left the girls alone for a while and they spent time with each other and tried to get to know each other better. At times they would spy on the girls watching them giggle and talk to each other like they had before they all got married. Then everybody went with their family and had lunch together. A while after the day began to speed by,  and before everyone knew it darkness covered the land and the moon and stars began to rise. Everyone said goodbye to each other and left. "That was so much fun!" Screwball said. "Yeah! I want to do it again!" Disharmony stated. Moonlight and Discord laughed. "Maybe another time, but for now let's go home." Moonlight said. Disharmony frowned. "Aw! But I'm not tired!" Moonlight glared at him. Disharmony smiled nervously. "Oh, right. Sorry Mom." Moonlight smiled. "That's alright come on you three. When we get home you can all have extra ice cream!" Then they all began to run ahead and laughed. Then Moonlight heard quiet laughter behind her. She turned around to see Discord covering his mouth trying to hold the fit of laughter that was about to come out. Moonlight looked at her mane, it was now a pale pink and her coat was a bright orange. "Discord!"

Rainbow Swirls and Chaotic Blaze

"Chaotic Blaze, you need to hurry along! You're way behind!" Blazing Dash called. Chaotic Blaze glanced up at his father. "Sorry! I just like to take my time and enjoy it when I fly." Slowly he began to fly towards his family. "Why are you slow Chaotic Blaze? Going fast makes everything fun, and being slow is SO not cool." Rainbow Swirl yelled. Chaotic Blaze looked at the ground and sighed. Blazing Dash glared at his daughter. "Don't talk to your brother like that." Discorded Swirls cut in. "Blazing, their tired. Relax." Blazing Dash sighed. "She gets it from you. She may be younger but she needs to at least show her brother a little more respect." Discorded sighed. "Alright, Rainbow apologize to your brother." Rainbow groaned. "Fine.....Chaotic Blaze I'm sorry." Chaotic Blaze smiled. "Thanks. I'm sorry for being so slow." Blazing Dash smiled. "You don't have to apologize. Now come on you two, lets go home." Rainbow Swirls and Chaotic Blaze flew up higher into the sky. Discorded Swirls wrapped her hoof around him. "Don't get to upset, at least it's not Discord's and Moonlight's kids we have to deal with." Blazing laughed. "I guess your right, those three are a hoof full. How do they put up with them?" Discorded smiled. "This is Discord and Moonlight we're talking about....." Blazing nodded. "Right, I get it. They have magic anyway." Discorded hugged him. "Yes, they have their family and we have ours."

That night everyone went to bed exhausted but with a smile on their face. All of them had their family with them. They were all constantly growing, and everyone was getting closer.

Teenage Years Equals More Chaos

Everything began to speed by. Screwball, Disharmony, and Stellauna left their childhood and turned into teenagers. Discord began getting nervous. "What if I yell at them too much? What if I'm not a good father anymore? What if I hurt them? What if.......they fall in love?" Moonlight sighed. "Your not doing anything wrong. You have not been yelling at them at all, you are still a good father, you have not hurt them. And even if they begin to fall in love, then they're ready. Why stop them? It happened to you and me." Discord sighed. "That's what I'm afraid of." Just then Screwball knocked on the door and walked in slowly. "Wow." Discord said. Screwball looked confused. "What's wrong Daddy?" Discord looked at her. "You grew so quickly." Screwball looked at herself. "I have looked like this for the past five years." Moonlight cut in. "Don't worry about that Screwball, what do you need?" Screwball looked behind her. "Disharmony wants to talk to you about something. I don't know what though." Moonlight nodded. "Alright, tell him I'll be there in a minute." Screwball nodded and left the room. Discord just stared at the door. "Where did they go after all these years?" Moonlight smiled. "They are doing what you and I did a long time ago, growing up." Discord stayed silent. Moonlight headed towards the door. "I need to see what Disharmony wants. I promise I'll be right back." Discord nodded. "I trust you." Moonlight quietly shut the door and smiled. "He still trusts me." Then she heard Discord. "What did you say?" Moonlight's eyes widened. "Nothing!" Then her face turned a bright red.

Moonlight began to notice that is wasn't just Screwball, Stellaluna, and Disharmony that were growing. All their friends were as well. And some of them were beginning to take some of the same traits of her friends. Midnight had the ability to spread darkness and beauty everywhere, Twisted Taffy could also confuse others by speaking in a twisted language, Rainbow Swirls had the ability to corrupt others and had amazing flying skills, Flutterbreeze also had the beauty and flaws of her mother, Vanilla Pie had the energy and optimism both her parents had, and Stellaluna was growing more and more like her every day. This began to make Moonlight wonder if maybe they could be the new bearers to the Elements of Chaos. She also began to notice that some of them were beginning to try to get very close to each other, Moonlight suspected that some of them might be falling in love. An event came up a few weeks later that changed everything.

The Gala of Discord Part 1

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.

The Gala of Discord Part 2

Everything looked different. The castle had been rebuilt and it was full of decorations. Lights and colors streamed everywhere. There was food and ponies were having fun everywhere. Silverpants lead them to a staircase along the side of the room. "The girls can dress in these rooms." Then he pointed towards another staircase on the other side of the room. "The stallions can go in those rooms on the other side." The girls glanced at each other and slowly walked up the stairs. "Silverpants and the other stallions have done a great job with this place." Moonlight told Star Dim. She smiled. "Thank you. And I think all of you are going to like the dresses I made." Star Dim opened the door and let everyone walk in. It looked like it had belonged to one of the guards. In the middle of the room was a rack full of dresses. "Wow! Star Dim, these dresses are lovely!" Cotton Feathers said loudly. Star beamed. "I knew you would love them. I have the dresses for you young fillies over there." Everyone glanced to the other corner of the room and found a smaller rack with dresses. The younger fillies rushed over to them. "Mother these dresses are gorgeous!" Shimmering Star said. Each dress was so different and unique it was not hard to find out which dress belonged to which pony. Then they began to style their manes. "I wonder what the guys are doing." Discorded Swirls said. Crazed Candy shrugged. "Probably talking about things stallions would usually talk about. Or boasting about themselves." Screwball walked over to Star Dim. "Thank you Aunt Star Dim, I love my dress, it's so chaotic!" Star Dim looked down at her godchild. "Your welcome Screwball. I knew you would like it, and it looks so well on you." By the time everyone else was ready they all walked out of the room and went to see their husbands.

"I can't wait to see what they look like!" Raspberry Pie said with glee. "Knowing my wife, I'm sure they will look fabulous." Silverpants replied. Then they saw Star Dim at the top of the stairs. She walked down the stairs slowly, followed by the others. Raspberry Pie and Bitter Tart had their mouths wide open, Silverpants and Discord's eyes grew wide. Blazing Dash and Butterscotch gasped. Star Dim looked at Silverpants. "Well, what do you think?" Silverpants just blinked, then he tried to speak. "They are......absolutely gorgeous......I can hardly talk." Star smiled and glanced at Diamond Ring. "My, don't you look dashing Diamond Ring." Diamond beamed. "Thank you Mother, you look wonderful." Chocolate Pie raced over to Raspberry. "Wow! Raspberry you look sooooo handsome!" Raspberry smiled. "You look soooo pretty! And so do they!" He pointed towards the triplets. Chocolate Pie giggled and embraced her husband in a warm hug. Cotton Feathers smiled when she saw Butterscotch. "You look very nice." She said. Butterscotch smiled nervously. "You do too. Flutterbreeze looks beautiful." Cotton Feathers nodded. "She certainly does." Blazing Dash grinned when he saw Discorded Swirls. "Wow! You and Rainbow look awesome!" Discorded gently punched him. "You don't look so bad yourself. Neither does Chaotic Blaze." Bitter Tart and Crazed Candy hugged. "You and Twisted Taffy both look great." Bitter Tart complimented. Crazed Candy blushed. "Do I really look nice? I know Twisted Taffy does." Bitter Tart nodded. "You are the most beautiful sight in this room." Screwball and Stellauna ran towards Discord. "Daddy! You look so amazing!" Stellauna squealed. Discord smiled. "You girls look lovely." Then they looked at Disharmony. "Wow Disharmony, you look nice too." Screwball said. Disharmony smiled a little. "I guess I do." Discord looked at the girls. "Where is your mother?" Stellauna looked up at him. "She's coming!" Discord looked up at the top of the stairs. Slowly Moonlight walked out. Discord froze. When she reached him, her eyes grew wide. "You look.........I can't even describe how amazing you look." Discord stayed frozen, but he tried to talk. "You are....…I…….You look beautiful." Moonlight looked at her dress. "Really? I was afraid you wouldn't like it." Discord glared at her. "Whatever would make you think that? I love you for who you are.You look beautiful, your gorgeous, your stunning, do I need to continue?" Moonlight shook her head. "No, I get it. Star did do an amazing job with these dresses." Then Silverpants spoke up. "Now that we are ready we can dance and enjoy the night!" Then a few ponies began getting closer. Chaotic Blaze walked towards Twisted Taffy. "Twisted Taffy, do you think.....would it be alright if.......would you like to dance with me?" Twisted Taffy nodded. "Of course." Disharmony walked towards Twisted Taffy. "Um, Twisted Taffy I was wondering.......if nopony asked you yet.......would you like to dance with me?" Twisted Taffy smiled. "Yes, that would be nice." Disharmony took her hoof and the two walked off. Diamond Ring approached Stellaluna. "Would you like to dance with me?" Stellaluna  nodded. "Sure, why not?" Then Moonlight and her friends went with their husbands and began to partake in everything. The rest of them went among the castle and began having their own fun.

Screwball walked up a flight of stairs to find a hallway filled with doors. "This is one of the most beautiful parts of the castle." A voice said from behind her. Screwball turned around to see her mother standing near her. "Mom, what is this place?" Moonlight wrapped a hoof around her. "The castle that used to belong to Luna and Celestia. They were great enemies of ours. This castle holds some of the greatest and some of the most tragic memories I have." Screwball looked up at Moonlight. "Tragic? What happened?" Moonlight sighed. "Walk with me and I'll tell you." Screwball stood up and followed her. "Many things happened here. But it will involve going back in time for that." Screwball nodded. "It's okay, I just want to know what happened." Moonlight lead her out to one of the balconies of the castle. "A while ago, before any of you were born, before your father and I got married something happened. Things were going a lot smoother between us. But then they came along." Moonlight pointed towards a window of two Alicorns. "Is that Celestia and Luna?" Screwball asked. Moonlight nodded. "They wanted to end your fathers reign. They began pushing his magic back. Thankfully, we were able to fix it, seeing that we both have magic stronger then Luna or Celestia. But then......." Moonlight eyes began to fill with tears. Screwball's eyes grew wide. "Mom, what happened?" Moonlight wrapped her hooves around Screwball. "Luna and Celestia turned your father to........stone." Moonlight said in a weak voice. Screwball gasped. "What! Why would they do that?" Moonlight's tears grew larger. Her eyes looked full of sadness. "They found ancient artifacts called the Elements of Harmony, they approached Discord. He knew what they were going to do, but he figured he would be able to stop them. But while he was distracted they cast a spell and........" Screwball began to cry. "They didn't, they couldn't......." Moonlight sighed. "They did. I was left alone. My friends tried to help me but it wasn't enough. I began to grow very angry and bitter. I even hurt my friends. Slowly I was starting to lose even the chaotic sanity I had left. But the good news was he found a way to see me." Screwball wiped her eyes. "How?" Moonlight smiled slightly. "Every night he found a way to enter my dreams. He would create a world were my friends and I could be happy. One time he managed to break out of the stone. That was one of the greatest night's I ever had. But sadly he couldn't stay like that forever. Eventually I decided to look here....." Moonlight opened one of the doors and Screwball gasped. It was one of the largest and oldest libraries she had ever seen. "Wow, this place is huge." Moonlight nodded. She lead Screwball to the small room she had found many years ago. Moonlight locked the gate behind them. "I found this room, and many treasures and scrolls with it. Eventually I found a spell that could reverse any enchantment or spell." Moonlight used her magic to show Screwball an old scroll. "Mom, is this the same scroll you found here?" Moonlight nodded. "It is, I practiced the spell on a few objects in this room. Finally I needed to try the spell on something made of stone. But I couldn't think of anything until......" Screwball finished her sentence. "Stone...." Moonlight nodded. "I made Stone to help me. He was a very sweet and gentle creature so I allowed him to stay with me, that's why our family has a cockatrice for a companion. Eventually I was able to undo even his magical stare. I gathered my friends and our Elements and set Discord free. He defeated Celestia and Luna and took back Equestria. Then a while later he proposed and well, you know the rest." Eventually they made their way back to the room where the gala was taking place. "Mom, the Elements of Harmony. Are they the jewels on the necklace you are wearing?" Moonlight looked down at the Elements of Harmony. "Yes they are, your Daddy gave them to me as a gift." Screwball smiled. "Wow, my Daddy is a legend!" Moonlight smiled. "Yes he is." Then they heard a voice behind them. "But I could not have done any of that without your help." Moonlight turned and saw Discord behind her. "You were spying on us weren't you?" Discord smiled. "Maybe....I was wondering..." Moonlight quickly answered. "Yes. I would love to." Discord shook his head. "You are hilarious. I didn't even tell say anything yet." Moonlight smiled. "I don't need to know what is, because I already know just as long as it's with you it'll be perfect." Moonlight turned to Screwball. "You can go and have fun Screwball, I'm just going to spend a little time with your father." Screwball nodded. "Okay." After Moonlight and Discord left Screwball wondered around. Both her brother and her sister were dancing and having fun. She wished she could be doing that too. Suddenly she felt somepony touch her. She turned around to see a stallion behind her. "Hi, my name is Topsy Turvy. Would you like to dance with me?" Screwball was amazed. This stallion was just as his name said.  "Yes. I would love to. My name is Screwball by the way." Topsy Turvy took Screwballs hoof and lead her to the middle of the room.

Silverpants made his way through the crowd of ponies. Finally he got to Discord. He was dancing with Moonlight. "Discord, would you mind coming with me?" Discord looked up at him. Then pointed to Moonlight. "I'm kind of in the middle of something here!" Silverpants glanced at Moonlight. "My apologies, Moonlight would you mind if I borrowed him for a moment?" Moonlight looked at him. "You promise you'll bring him back?" Silverpants smiled. "I promise my dear, I just want to introduce him to some of the guests and make a few announcements. Then he's all yours." Moonlight sighed. "Alright, fine." Discord groaned. "Why do I always get dragged into these things." Moonlight giggled. "Don't worry, if he keeps you longer then he needs to, do whatever you want to him. I'm not stopping you." Discord smiled slyly. "Very well, if I must." Silverpants beamed. "Wonderful!" Discord let go of Moonlight and followed Silverpants. "So what do you want me for?" Silverpants sighed. "I just want to introduce you to a few of the guests, then later to everyone here." Discord stopped. "Wait, everyone?" Silverpants nodded. "You're the one who made this possible, it's only fair that you are given the recognition and respect you deserve." Discord shrugged. "I guess, but if you haven't noticed not everyone in this room......likes me." Silverpants smiled. "Don't worry about that, I have it taken care of. Besides Raspberry Pie is going to help." Discord rolled his eyes. "I feel so much better." Silverpants shook his head. "Relax, I promise you that nopony is going to hate you. Besides you and I both know one pony that will be cheering for you." Silverpants stepped towards the stage that had been built. Raspberry walked up with him. Silverpants grabbed a microphone. "Fillies and Gentlecolts Welcome!" Then the room grew very quiet. "I would like to thank all of you for being here, a lot of hard work was put into this, and I can assure you that this will not be the first and last time this will happen. But for now I would like to meet the one who inspired me to make this happen, the one who made all this possible. I would like to introduce you to the Spirit of Chaos himself, Discord!" When Discord flew up onto the stage ponies began screaming and applauding. Discord was surprised. He never expected ponies to be cheering. He looked in the very back of the room and saw Moonlight jumping and applauding. He could hear her over everypony. Silverpants was right. Discord smiled. Then Raspberry took the microphone. "I know I'm not the only one, who wants to see him do some magic?" Hundreds of hoofs went into the air and the cheering grew louder. Discord took a deep breath and snapped his talons. Dozens of cotton candy clouds flew everywhere raining chocolate milk and confetti. Everypony jumped into the air and cheered. Many ponies were clapping their hooves. Silverpants walked towards Discord. "I told you nothing bad would happen." Then he took the microphone away from Raspberry. "Alright everyone, you can return to what you were doing. I would like to thank you again for coming to The Gala of Discord." Then everypony applauded one more time, and eventually everypony went back to their activities. Moonlight ran towards him. "Did you see how many ponies were cheering for you?" Discord smiled. "But you were the loudest, I could hear you over everypony." Then he pulled Moonlight closer and kissed her. "Now can we finish that dance?"

Starlight Chaos

A few weeks after the Gala, Dark Chaos, Black Skies and their daughter Starlight Chaos came to visit. Moonlight was happy to see Dark Chaos again. "Wow, is that Starlight? She had grown since the last time I saw her." Starlight was a Unicorn and had a black coat like her mother and father, she had deep sea blue eyes and had a dark personality. Dark Chaos looked at her daughter. "Starlight, go play with Disharmony, Stellaluna, and Screwball. Daddy and I are going to talk." Starlight nodded. "Yes Mother." Moonlight pointed towards the stairs. "They should be upstairs, playing with Stone." Starlight walked across the hall and heard laughter coming from Disharmony's bedroom. She opened the door, and found Stone playing with Stellaluna, Disharmony, and Screwball. The three turned to her and smiles appeared on their faces. "Starlight! We haven't seen you in ages!" Screwball said. Starlight smiled. "Mother wanted us to visit. Besides you three are my best friends." Disharmony flew over to her. "We were playing with Stone, do you want to join us? Or do you want to do something else?" Starlight thought for a moment. "Actually, I have a better idea."

"So what exactly is it you want to do in this room?" Disharmony asked. Starlight sighed. "Turn the walls, ceiling, and floor into soap, of course." Disharmony shrugged and instantly the room was turned into soap. Then Starlight ran across the walls and ceiling and began to slide everywhere. "Come on! It's fun!" Screwball and Disharmony quickly joined. Stellaluna looked at the room. It did look fun, but she felt it needed more excitement. She used her magic to make soap ramps and curves. "Good thinking Stellaluna! Now it's even more fun!" Starlight said. Stellaluna smiled. She ran onto the floor and jumped causing her to twist and slide very fast. They began having so much fun, that they did not even notice the time. By the time Dark Chaos and Black Skies came to collect their daughter they found her and her friends having fun. Discord and Moonlight looked at the room. "Well, this is impressive." Discord said. Moonlight looked up at him. "Shall we?" Discord smiled and grabbed her, then they both slid across the room. Dark Chaos shook her head. Black Skies sighed. "Come on, it does look fun." Before Dark Chaos could answer her husband gently pushed her causing her to slide around the walls. "Black Skies!" She yelled. Black Skies laughed as he slid towards her. "You had it coming, besides how else was I supposed to get you to join?" Dark Chaos sighed. Another reason Discord and I were not meant to be together. I'm not naive. "This is so childish though, but is fun." Black Skies smiled. "Sometimes even full grown mares like yourself need some of that childish fun. Besides look at Starlight and her friends." Dark Chaos looked at her daughter. Then she looked at Moonlight and Discord. They were both older then Starlight, and even herself, and yet they were doing this. Even though Discord was the Spirit of Chaos and was used to this, it still seemed like he didn't even care. Dark Chaos smiled. "Alright, let's have fun." Black Skies picked her up. "Now your talking!"

By the time they all stopped everyone was a little tired. Dark Chaos took her daughter and turned to Moonlight and Discord. "I'm glad we could visit. I hope we see you again." She glared at Starlight. "Say goodbye to your friends Starlight Chaos." Starlight turned to Disharmony, Stellaluna, and Screwball. "Goodbye, it was fun seeing you. Now I can cause trouble at home!" She whispered the last sentence. The four of them laughed. Black Skies nodded. "Goodbye Moonlight, it was fun seeing you Discord." Discord smirked. "Likewise." Just before they left Stellaluna whispered to Starlight. "I was wondering, do you have a special somepony yet?" Starlight smiled slyly. "Maybe." Then her eyes glowed and she laughed. Stellaluna giggled. "Oh Starlight Chaos."

Topsy Turvy

Screwball was visiting Star Dim and her family. They had just gone out shopping when she came across Topsy Turvy. They both bumped into each other and looked into each others eyes. "Oh, are you Topsy Tuvry?" Screwball asked. Topsy Turvy nodded. "Yes indeed. Your Srewball right? We danced at the Gala last week. What are you doing in Canterlot?" Screwball giggled. "I'm visiting my friends. Their parents live here." Topsy Turvy nodded. "Oh, that sounds like fun. How long are you staying?" Screwball tried to think. "A few more hours. I'm just here for the day. Do you live here?" Topsy Turvy nodded. That's when Screwball noticed he was wearing a beanie hat, just like hers. "Is that your hat? You weren't wearing it when I met you." Topsy Tury played with the hat and watched as the propellor spinned. "I've always had it. I just was not wearing it at the Gala. It's my favorite hat but Mom says it was to silly to wear at such a formal occasion." Screwball frowned. "My Daddy lets me wear whatever I want. We both try to see who can come up with the silliest outfit. But Moms friend Star Dim made everyone dresses, so I wore it with my hat." Topsy Turvy grew closer. "You look really cute with that hat, and those sweet purple eyes." Screwball blushed. "Thanks, my Daddy loves my eyes and says that I should be proud of them." Topsy Turvy smiled. "You should, they look like delicious lollipops!" Just then Screwball heard Star Dim call out to her. "Screwball darling, hurry please! I don't want to lose you, and your father will be very angry with me if I don't bring you back soon in one peice." Screwball nodded. "Coming Aunt Star Dim! I need to go, bye Topsy Turvy." Topsy Turvy squeezed her. "Bye Screwy." Screwball ran towards Star Dim. "I see you have a little colt friend. Who is he?" Screwball's face turned red. "Oh, his name is Topsy Turvy. And we're just friends." Star Dim laughed. "Don't lie to me young lady. I saw your mother give your father the same look when we were younger. You like him don't you?" Screwball shrugged. "Maybe a little, I guess." Diamond Rings eyes grew wide. "Oooo! Screwball has a crush! Screwball has a crush!" Star Dim glared at him. "Don't be rude Diamond Ring. It's not nice to tease others about their feelings for other ponies." Screwball smirked. "Especially because we all know you have a crush on my sister." Then everypony laughed. Diamond's face turned a bright red. "No I don't! She's just......a little pretty that's all." Silverpants walked out of the shop and found everypony laughing. He looked at Diamond Ring. "Alright, what did you do this time?" Star Dim sighed. "It's alright dear. We were just having a laugh. An now that your finished we can continue with our day. Come along everyone."

Screwball came across Topsy Turvy later that day. Just as she was about to get on the train to go home Topsy Turvy came running over to her. He was almost out of breath. "Screw.......ball.......I found......you." Screwball looked at the train. "What are you doing here? I need to hurry." Topsy Turvy nodded. "I know. I came to give you this." Then he gave her a small box. Screwball smiled. "Thanks, what is it?" Topsy Turvy spoke very quickly. "Open it when you get home and you'll find out. Now hurry I don't want you to get stuck here." Screwball nodded and slowly walked towards the train. When she found an empty seat she glared at the box that Topsy Turvy gave her. She wondered what was inside, then she sighed. Her eyes quickly grew wide. "Aunt Star Dim was right! I really do like him!"

By the time Screwball got home Stellaluna and Disharmony rushed outside to see her. "Hey Screwball! How was it visiting Canterlot?" Disharmony asked. Screwball smirked and spoke in a very rude accent. "Oh it was simply divine. Everything was charming." The three of them laughed. Stellaluna smiled. "I enjoyed my visit with Flutterbreeze, Aunt Cotton Feathers, and Butterscotch." Disharmony laughed. "And my visit with Aunt Discorded Swirls, Blazing Dash, Chaotic Blaze, and Rainbow Swirls was a blast!" Then Discord came out. "Well, well it seems Star Dim did send you back. You were gone for so long I thought she was planning on keeping you!" Screwball laughed. "Even it she had, I still would have come back because you are the best Dad in the world." Screwball then gave Discord a hug. Discord smiled and wrapped his paw around his daughter. "Thank you Sweetheart." Just then Moonlight came flying out. "Oh Screwball! You're back!" Screwball ran over to her mother and gave her a tight hug. "Mom! I missed you soooo much." Moonlight smiled. "I missed you too. But.....your hugging me a little..........too.......tight......." Screwball let to quickly. "Sorry!" Then everyone laughed.

That night when Screwball went to her room. She took out the small box that Topsy Turvy gave her. She gently pulled off the ribbon and opened the box. When she looked inside she gasped. Inside was a small note and a small purple jewel. Screwball opened the note and read it out loud in a quiet voice. "Screwball, I found this purple jewel recently and I wanted you to have it. It reminds me of you in many ways, it's purple color like your beautiful eyes, the way it sparkles and shines just like you, and it's unique shape and color, just like your unique ablilities and talents. You mean many things to me and ever since I met you my life has never been the same. You complete me and I hope you know that. Topsy Turvy." Screwball looked at the jewel and smiled. It was very beautiful and he thought she was beautiful. Screwball placed the jewel underneath her pillow and shut her eyes as she crawled into her bed. "Goodnight Topsy Turvy." Meanwhile Topsy Turvy was getting into his bed and sighed. "Goodnight Screwball."

In Chaos Evil Lurks

Lurking in the shadows was a Unicorn. He had a coat as black as ink, his mane was full of grey colors and his eyes were as red as blood. He was slightly taller then the a average pony. He stood there watching the chaos that roamed the land. He knew who made this, Discord. He stood there loathing what he had created. Then another Unicorn approached him. She had a white coat, but her mane and eyes matched his. "Inky, you don't have to do this." The stallion gave the mare an angry glare. "Do not call me that White Page!" White Page sighed. "Yes, Ink Illustration." The stallion chuckled darkly. "That's better." White Page looked up at Ink Illustraion with hopeful eyes. "You shouldn't do this. I know you don't like chaos, I don't really like it either but......" Ink Illustration interrupted. "You do not tell me what to do! You are only my little sister and you do not know what I should and shouldn't do! You don't know a thing about this!" White Page felt tears in her eyes. "But you can't defeat him. He now has a wife and three children who are all teenagers!" Ink Illustration smirked. "Exactly, they know how strong they are and they are not as powerful when they are not together, and with my magic it with be too easy to break them up." Ink glancd at his cutie mark, it was a paintbrush surounded by ink spots. He had the ability to created illusions, and well crafted illustraions. White Pages gasped. "Your not going to.…….you can't……..please don't do this Ink." Ink glared at the sky. "I will do it." White Page cried silently. "What happened to my older brother who let these things go? Who cared for and loved me? That said to believe in yourself no matter what? What happened to Inky?" Ink Illustration narrowed his eyes. "Inky is gone! I am going to do this! If you are not going to help me leave me alone!" White Page sighed. "Fine.....You are not my brother and I don't love you!" When she walked off Ink groaned. "Love.......who does anything for it?" That's when it hit him. Everypony did, including a certain Draconequus. He smiled. "Discord does. And I think a certain somepony could use a little......heartbreak." He used his magic to make an image of Moonlight appear then be stepped on it causing it to smash into hundreds of pieces.

Crazed Candy was busy getting some snacks for Twisted Taffy and food for her family. Twisted Taffy was growing quickly and so was her apatite. Crazed walked over to the carrot stand and pushed three bundles of carrots into her saddlebags. By the time she had finished she looked at an upside down clock tower a few miles away. The day was half over, she realized she had better get home or Bitter Tart would start to worry. She began trotting along enjoying a walk home. Then she stopped, she could hear voices very close by. One belonged to a mare, and one sounded too familiar. Crazed Candy walked behind the back of the buildings and found an alley. She looked through it and saw a pink Earth Pony and a familiar looking Draconequus. Crazed Candy's saddlebags dropped as well as her mouth. The Earth Pony and Discord heard the noise and turned to her. Crazed was too shocked to run. Discord gave her a sly grin. "Why hello Crazed Candy."

A Broken Moonlight

Crazed Candy tried to talk but she felt so confused. "Discord......what......are you........doing?" Discord laughed. "The Element of Confusion is confused? Oh this must be a tough one. Well I was in the middle of something with my marefriend, Pink Sunlight." Crazed Candy got a little angry. "What about Moonlight! Does she know about this?" Discord smirked. "She dosen't need to know about this though, does she?" Crazed Candy grew suspicious. "That's the same sweet voice you use on Moonlight! Why are you doing this? I thought y'all loved her!" Discord covered Crazed Candy's mouth. "Now, now, let's not let our temper get a hold of us. I did love her but.......she's starting to get a little different for my taste now." Crazed Candy tore away from Discord's grasp. "No! This is not true! You have never found anypony worthy of your true love except Moonlight! How could you do this to her?" Discord shrugged and pulled Pink Skies closer. "Come now Crazed Candy, everypony has a crushing moment every now and then. I had mine long ago, and now it's Moonlight's turn." Crazed Candy felt crushed. Not just because she was the one experiencing this, but because her friends husband was betraying her. "But you would never try to hurt her! Are you saying...." She couldn't continue. Discord finished for her. "That I love Pink Skies? Yes......I guess so." Crazed Candy gasped as Discord pulled the pink mare closer. She knew what he was going to do. She was instantly crushed as Discord and Pink Skies kissed. Crazed Candy's eyes filled with tears. "How could you do this?" Discord pulled her closer and spoke to her in a calm and gentle voice. "Because I can. And you won't tell her what you saw will you? You don't to take all that happiness away from her. But then again she already will be." Crazed Candy pushed him away. And ran, she couldn't bear to watch any longer. If Moonlight found out she would be broken.

Crazed Candy rushed through the streets when she saw Moonlight up ahead. The last pony she wanted to run into. She tried to walk slower but Moonlight noticed. "Woah Crazed Candy! Where are you going in such a hurry?" Crazed gulped. "Um...…nowhere….…I just was….…just trying to……get some things from Chocolate Pie!" Moonlight glared at her. "No offense Crazed, but you are not a good lier.  And also Chocolate's house is the other way." Crazed smacked her hoof against her forehead. Moonlight smiled. "Come on, what's wrong?" Crazed felt beads of sweat drip down her face. "Moonlight you really don't want to know." Moonlight beamed. "Oh! A secret! Tell me!" Crazed Candy could hear her heart beating and she was getting a head ache she was so nervous. "Moonlight, trust me. Y'all do not want to know, I am DEAD SERIOUS." Moonlight clapped her hooves. "Oh is it that good? Well if you won't tell me I'll find out myself." Crazed Candy tried to stop her. "No Moonlight don't!" But it was too late. Moonlight found Crazed Candy's most recent memory, and when she saw it her heart shattered. Crazed saw the look on her face and panicked. "Moonlight...I....it.....I tried to warn you but……" Moonlight shook her head frantically. "No no no no! Discord loves me! Discord loves me! No no no no! I......." Soon her anger turned into sadness. Moonlight burst into tears. Crazed Candy was scared. "Moonlight, calm down." But Moonlight did not listen she flew away and screamed into the sky.

Discord was playing with Stellaluna in their bedroom when Moonlight burst in. She look very angry and filled with sadness. Discord turned to Stellaluna. "Um.....Sweetie, can you go to your room for a bit? Tell your brother and sister to do the same, it looks like your mother is...." He did not even need to finish Stellaluna quickly let the room and shut the door. Discord turned to Moonlight. "What's wrong?" Moonlight grit her teeth. "What's wrong? WHAT'S WRONG?! You know what's wrong! Why? Why did you do this?" Discord looked confused. "What? I did not do anything!" Moonlight's anger grew. "Don't do that! Stop it! If all your going to do is play games with me then I won't even bother! Crazed Candy saw you with.....HER!" Discord was shocked. "Her? Who are you talking about?" Moonlight screamed. "Why? Why do you just toy with me? Did you ever love me at all?" Discord stood up. "Of course I do! I still do!" Moonlight a eyes twitched. "Really? I just......you......" Moonlight was losing her temper, her sanity, and her mind. She could not even talk anymore. She felt so overwhelmed and hurt that she couldn't do anything. Discord was getting a little nervous. "Moonlight, calm down! I don't want to lock you in here again!" Moonlight rolled her eyes. "Sure! Lock me in here! Maybe that will help! I'll slam into everything and get out of control!" Discord was shocked. He decided he was not going to take this any more. "Moonlight, get over here now." Moonlight was gritting her teeth she was beginning to grind them. "No! I'm not going to let you hurt me anymore!" Discord growled. "I promised you I would never hurt you again! And I haven't! Why would you ever think I wouldn't love you? I have told you so many times. Why are you mad at me?" Moonlight snapped. She quickly dropped to the floor. When Discord heard her crying he knew she couldn't take it. He picked her up and wrapped his arms around her and let her cry. He started stroking her mane and gently tried to help her relax. Then he placed her on their bed and left the room. He locked the door and turned around. First he was going to let her get her anger out, then he was going to get to the bottom of this. Whoever did this was going to answer to him.

"Are you sure that's what happened?" Discorded Swirls asked. Crazed Candy nodded. "I'm sure. I saw it happen with my own two eyes." Star Dim frowned. "That does not kind like Discord to me." Chocolate Pie jumped ahead. "Or me! Discord wouldn't do that!" Crazed Candy sighed. "I know, that's what I thought. And as soon as I see him, I'm gonna give give him a piece of my mind." Chocolate giggled. "Well, that's going to be very quickly because we're here!" Crazed looked at the door and knocked. "That guy is in SO much trouble." Discord opened the door and sighed. "Let me guess, your here because of Moonlight?" Crazed nodded. "Why you! How dare you!........." Chocolate Pie and Discorded Swirls had to pull her back to keep her from hitting anyone. "How could you do that to her? She loves you!" Discord groaned. "Look, I know you think I did something to upset her, but the truth is......I don't really know what happened. I didn't do anything. For now I'm leaving her in our room. She had a lot of anger stored up, and she was just so over the edge." Cotton Feathers sighed. "She's crying isn't she?" Discord nodded. "Yes, she is doing a lot of that." Star Dim cleared her throat so she would be noticed. "Can we see her please?" Discord sighed. "Fine, but she might get angry." Discorded Swirls rolled her eyes. "No problem! We can fix that!" Then Discord snapped his fingers. "You're going to need these." He had a small pile of umbrellas. Chocolate Pie looked confused. "What are these for?" Discord laughed a little. "Are you kidding? She has almost flooded our room she has been crying so hard!" Star Dim looked nervous. "Ooooo, what did you do to make her that mad?" Discord groaned. "I told you I didn't do anything!" Then they all slowly walked inside and went upstairs. Cotton Feathers knocked on the door. "Moonlight it's us!" They all listened, they could hear her crying. Moonlight screamed. "Leave me alone!" Discorded Swirls sighed. "Moonlight we want to help you! Please let us in?" Moonlight was quiet for a moment. "Fine......but only for a little while." Chocolate bounced over to the door and opened it. Suddenly a huge pile of water splashed on them. "Discord wasn't joking when he said she almost flooded the room." Star Dim said as she gazed at her wet mane in horror. Slowly the five on them walked in.

Ink and the Wedding Dress

Discord waited for everyone to fall asleep for he did anything. By the time Moonlight was asleep he was ready. "Let's see what's going on." He snapped his fingers and disappeared. He then found himself inside Crazed Candy's house. He flew around until he found her bedroom. She was asleep next to Bitter Tart. He gently touched her forehead and found himself in the middle of the town. He noticed Crazed Candy and followed her around. Just as she was leaving he heard a noise and noticed Crazed had heard it too. He followed her until she came to a small alley. When he looked inside the alley he gasped. He saw himself with another pony. He watched as Crazed Candy began yelling at the Discord across from them. As the conversation went on Discord looked at the pink Earth Pony. This must of been the pony Moonlight mentioned. She was a bright pink earth pony with a very blank expression on her face. "What is with that pony? Even if I did happen to like somepony a lot it definitely would not be this one." Discord said in a slightly disgusted tone. Then he watched as the pink pony and the other Discord kissed. Discord felt like he was going to choke and looked away. "Ewwwww, yuck! Why did have to be a pony like that? Couldn't she at least have had a blue coat? Like Moonlight's, or at least wings or a horn like Moonlight?" Then he watched as Crazed Candy ran off. He flew closer to the pink pony. Then he noticed it, up close she looked blurry and very much like an illusion. He ran his claw through the pony to find nothing happen. But when he looked at his claw he found it was covered in ink.

When Discord came back he noticed there were small ink spots on the floor. They were all different colors but most of them were black. It turned into a small trail that led into Screwball's bedroom, then Disharmony's, next Stellaluna's, and finally his room. The ink spots grew slightly larger in a small spot next to their bed on Moonlight's side. Then the trail led to the window and finally vanished. Discord placed his paw in one of the spots and looked at it. It was very light and thin ink. It looked exactly like the ink that was on his eagle claw. Then he noticed a small piece of paper on Moonlight's desk. It was on top of a small pile of books. Discord opened one of them and looked through the pages. They were all pictures of clothes. Some of them were dresses and some of them were suits and outfits for stallions. On some of them Moonlight had written down her friends names because they had looked like something they would wear. On a few pages she had even drawn over the outfit lines and made a few designs of her own. On one of them he found a blank page that had been drawn on by Moonlight. It was an outfit that was very tall and slender. It was full of chaotic patterns and colors. On the corner of the page in very neat and curly writing Moonlight had written his name down. Discord smiled. He really liked the design and the colors. Maybe sometime he could get Star Dim to make this and he could surprise her. Then he closed the book and looked at the piece of paper on top. It was done in a dark blue ink. It was a dress. It was a long, flowing dress. Whoever was going to wear it would have ribbon laced into their hair and wrapped around their hooves. It was a very complex and well done design. But it wasn't just any kind of dress, it was a wedding dress. The long veil and end of the dress were the big clues. Discord could tell by the slightly unsteady way it was drawn that Moonlight had not done it. It had not been done by her friends either because of the one letter initial that had been written on it. An I. Discord could not think of anypony that he met that had a name with the letter I. He snapped his fingers and the ink spots disappeared. He left the drawing on Moonlight's desk and slowly curled up into bed. That ink looked a little familiar but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before. "Darn it. Making sense is no fun." Discord complained.

Bride of Ink Illusion

Ink Illsuion stomped his hoof in anger. "I was so close! She was so mad and over the edge!" He laughed at the thought of it. It must have been so funny to watch. Part of him was jealous of Discord. He had a loving, and very chaotic wife. She seemed to always care about him no matter what he did, she could see past his different appearance and found treasure inside and outside. Ink Illusion wondered about what that might be like. There was now a Queen of Chaos, why couldn't there be a Queen of Shadows and Ink. Then he was struck with an idea. Maybe there could be, perhaps there was another way to tear chaos apart. Maybe there was a way for him to have a bride.

As soon as all of Equestria was asleep Ink was about to set his plan into motion. But then he was stopped. "Ink, what are you doing?" Ink Illusions turned around to see his sister behind him. "Why are you here White Page?" White Page sighed. "I followed you because I wanted to make sure you were okay. Ink, I don't like what you're doing. You hurt an in innocent pony." Ink Illusions glared at his sister. "Well, that innocent pony is part of my plan, just like the rest of her family is." White Page stepped back. "What! Ink no, this is going to far. Just what do you plan on doing?" Ink Illusions smiled. "I intend on gaining a wife, my dear White Page." White Page looked nervous. "And who will that be?" She took a look at her brothers face and knew the answer. "Oh Ink. You can't, she already....." Ink interrupted her. "Do not tell me what to do! I can do whatever I want! Besides she will be the key to everything." White Page grew angry. "No! What will her family think? I am not going to let you do this! You may be older, but I can still stop you!" Ink Illusions laughed. "Aw, are you going to go running home to tell Mommy?" White Page grit her teeth. "Stop Ink. She won't marry you. She won't want to marry you. Besides all her friends are married as well." Ink laughed darkly. "No matter, some mares just need a little.......persuasion." White Page gasped. Ink Illusion's horn began to glow. "Now if you'll excuse me." And very quickly he disappeared.

Ink Illusion appeared inside the hall. He walked into each of the rooms, three of them belonged to Screwball, Stellaluna, and Disharmony. Then he found a room that was much larger. When he walked inside he found Moonlight sleeping. But for some reason Discord was not there. He was a little confused but happy his plan could continue without any interuptions. He used his magic to slip inside Moonlight's dream. When he was inside he found himself surrounded in a world of chaos. He felt dizzy looking at his surroundings. Then he found Moonlight, for some reason she looked a lot prettier then he thought. Her dark blue coat and her mane full of blue colors flowed and flew in the gentle breeze. Her tall horn was full of magic and power, along with her tall and large feathered wings. Her glowing red and yellow eyes gave her a slightly frightening but attractive appearance. And her face, it was spotted with small freckles, and she had a warm smile on her face. Now he found out why Discord always told her she was beautiful. He couldn't get enough of it! For some reason Ink Illusions felt very attracted to her. He watched as she played in her small world of chaos. A small distance away from her was Discord, he was just standing there with a smile on his face. Then Moonlight grabbed Discord and pulled him towards her and the two laughed and were holding each other. Ink Illusions watched as Discord started stroking Moonlight mane and kissed her. Ink was a little disgusted but he felt a desire to have that. He wanted to be holding somepony, he wanted to be embracing a pony who would care about him and would live forever with. And he was going to make that happen, he began to turn his attention to Discord. He watched to see what he did to make Moonlight smile and laugh. Most of the time it was creating chaos. Doing something he enjoyed doing and something she enjoyed watching him do. Then Ink knew what to do. He came out of Moonlight's dream and looked around for something he could use. He found Moonlight's desk and there were many books on it. He looked through some of them and then an idea came to him. He put all the books away except the ones that held clothing ideas. He tore  a sheet of paper from a notepad and found a quill to use. He used dark blue ink to draw. He searched through almost all the dress ideas. He wanted to give it a shadow a dark appearance while keeping some of the chaos in it. Until finally he had done it. He was about to write his name on it when he heard a noise from downstairs. Discord was back. Ink initialed the paper and jumped out the window and cast a spell before he hit the ground.

Star Dim and Moonlight Chaos

"It's definitely a wedding dress." Star Dim said. Discord nodded. "Yes, yes I get that! But do you have a clue as to who drew it? There is a I initialed in the corner but I don't know anyone with a name beginning with an I." Star Dim shrugged. "I'm not sure, Moonlight has let us seen her designs before. She has even given me a chance to write down a few designs in some of them. But I honestly don't know why it was in there. Are you sure she didn't do this? It looks like something she might draw, and even wear." Discord shook his head. "No she didn't. Her drawings are much better then this. Besides she would never be rushing on this kind of dress. It's not even her writing!" Star Dim sighed. "Well, I have an idea. My brother Night Light will be visiting soon and he's bringing my sister Sweetie Blossom. He has a better idea with these kinds of things. If you like I can have him take a look at this." Discord groaned. "Alright. Geez, making sense is really not fun." Star Dim giggled. "I know darling, I know...."

Moonlight and Star Dim were finally together. It had been a while since they last had a time were they could be together and have fun without their husband's. "Did you look at the dress design Discord found?" Star Dim asked. Moonlight nodded. "I was able to see it. The dress looked like something you and I would wear." Star Dim agreed. "Indeed. It had a dark shadow like form while still kept a chaotic appearance and style. My brother said he would take a look at it." Moonlight laughed. "You have a brother too? How many are there in your family?" Star Dim smiled. "Five. My mother and father, my younger brother Night Light, my younger sister Sweetie Blossom, and me." Moonlight gasped. "Wow, you have a big family. So you're the oldest?" Star Dim nodded. "Yes, and believe me when I say sometimes it's not easy having siblings, or being the oldest." Moonlight glared at her. "Why wouldn't it be? I mean being the oldest must come with some advantages." Star Dim shrugged. "It does, but you also have to deal with all your younger siblings and their problems. But I love my family, so what about you? What's your family like?" Moonlight sighed. "I haven't seen my parents since I was a filly." Star Dim gasped. "Oh Moonlight, I'm sorry...." Moonlight shook her head. "No! It's not like that! It's just I left my parents because they had a hard time with me. They were better at spreading love and keeping everything together, I was better at making chaos and splitting everything apart. Eventually they talked about taking my magic away, I felt like I was bothering them so........I left." Star Dim's eyes grew wide. "Oh darling, that's just......" Moonlight perked up a little bit. "But if I hadn't done that, I would not have earned my cutie mark, and I wouldn't have met Discord." Star Dim shook her head. "That's still not right, I was different from the rest of my family but they accepted my magic and now they love my tricks and chaos. I can't believe your family didn't accept yours. Why would they do that?" Moonlight bit her lip. "I'm not sure, but at least they cared about me, I was just different. Mostly because I was born with Daconequus blood." Star Dims eyes grew wide. "You were born with Daconequus blood! Does Discord know?" Moonlight smiled. "Of course he does! He's always known, where do you think I got my powers? The chaotic magic of the Draconequus has just always stuck with me. In fact the only reason I was born as a pony was because of my parents. My entire family was born as ponies, but because I carried powerful magic it needed to be stored in a slightly stronger body. Thats why I was born with both wings and a horn. Besides my Mom is a Unicorn, and my Dad is a Pegasus so I suppose it worked out." Star Dim wrapped her hoof around Moonlight. "You and I are more alike then we think."

Ink Illusion was watching everything. His two favorite ponies talking to each other. He tried to keep his eye on Star Dim but it later trailed off to Moonlight. "Ink, I'm telling you for the last time. You need to stop. She won't go with you." White Page demanded. Ink Illusion just laughed. "Don't worry, she'll come willingly." White Page stomped her hoof. "No! I am not going to let you marry Star Dim just to split everyone up." Ink Illusion stared at her. "Oh my dear White Page, things have changed. I'm not going to marry Star Dim anymore. I have found the main source of all this power, besides SHE has caught my eye more." White Page gasped. "No, that's even worse. Ink don't, you'll do more then break them up. You'll break their hearts......Moonlight keeps them together. And you know what happened to the last pony that tried to come between them." Ink smirked. "Yes, but Dark Chaos did not plan well. She wanted Discord, she made her problem harder to solve. She made many cracks and it was harder to break. But all you really have to do is just make one, clean cut. And everything falls to pieces." White Page stepped back. "Ink Illusion, you can't." Ink turned away from her. "It looks like I have to make a few adjustments to my plans."

Disharmony and Flutterbreeze

Flutterbreeze was out in her garden looking at all the flowers and animals. She was going to sit down on a stone bench nearby when she noticed a note on it. She did not know how it got there, all it said was her name. She began to read. Dear Flutterbreeze, I hope you enjoyed our time at the gala. You are a very sweet pony. I brought you some flowers to add to your garden, I know how much you love flowers and little animals. I hope you like them, and maybe someday you can show me everything. Disharmony Flutterbreeze was a little confused. Where were the flowers? She glanced down next to her and saw a large bouquet of flowers. "How did these get here? They weren't here a moment ago." She picked them up and laughed. "Oh Disharmony, these are lovely. Thank you." The animals in her garden began to get closer when they saw the flowers. "Aren't these beautiful? Disharmony gave them to me. They will look perfect in the garden." She found a clear spot near the pond and planted them. They stood very tall and had a lovely sent. Flutterbreeze then flew off. She wanted to thank Disharmony.

Disharmony sighed. He could hear his sisters in their rooms sighing as well. They were all having the exact same problem. They were all falling in love. Screwball had Topsy Turvy, Stellaluna had Diamond Ring, and he had Flutterbreeze. She was a very pretty mare. She had her fathers pale orange coat, and her mothers light blue mane. She was so sweet and gentle. Then he heard somepony near his window. He looked up and saw Flutterbreeze! He grew very nervous, why was she here? He walked towards the window and opened it. "Flutterbreeze! What are you doing here?" Flutterbreeze began to talk in a very quiet voice. "Um, I wanted to thank you for the flowers you gave me. They are lovely." Disharmony felt like he was on fire. "Oh, well.....um.....thanks. I'm glad you......like......them." Flutterbreeze and Disharmony both blushed. "I'm just going to go home now...." Flutterbreeze said. Disharmony nodded. "Um, sure. No problem, I'll see you later." Flutterbreeze sighed. "Sure, okay. Bye!" Disharmony watched as Flutterbreeze flew out into the distance with her long hair flying in the breeze. "Wow, that is some mare."

Ink Illustration's Plan

By the time Moonlight and Star Dim had finished their day together Star Dim went home. Her brother and sister had already left, so she was alone. Silverpants never came home until it got late. Besides he was taking Midnight, Diamond Ring and Starlight to Canterlot again. She laid down on her bed, and sighed. She found the wedding dress drawing on her nightstand. Something was different. Star got a closer look at the drawing. It looked bigger, slightly taller, and now there was a small hole in the dress. They were for Pegasus wings. At the top their was lace and ribbon spiraling. It was meant to be worn on a pony's horn. Star Dim grew suspicious. Something strange was going on.

By the time the day had gone by Moonlight and Discord were about to go to their room. "Discord?" Moonlight called. Discord popped his head out from another room. "Yes my dear?" Moonlight sighed. "I have something I need to tell you." Discord flew over to her. "What is it?" Moonlight looked up at him. "I have been noticing something with Stellaluna, she's almost a full grown mare, and she seems to take a lot of traits from me." Discord smiled. "Well of course! She's not just MY daughter." Moonlight laughed. "I know that, but I'm noticing it with my friends and their daughters. Vanilla Pie acts like Chocolate Pie, Midnight acts like Star Dim, Flutterbreeze acts like Cotton Feathers, Rainbow Swirls acts like Discorded Swirls, and Twisted Taffy acts just like Crazed Candy. Call me Silly but they seem to possess our abilities. What if they grow up to control the Elements of Chaos like we do?" Discord nodded. "It is possible. But we don't need to worry about that Silly." Moonlight giggled. Discord picked her up and flew upstairs into their room. When she snuggled underneath the covers Discord snapped his fingers and shut off all the lights. Ink Illusion was ready. "Finally, now let's begin." He used his magic to create a giant castle. Then he vanished, his plan was going to unfurl.

Ink went to each of Moonlight's friends and brought them to his castle. He used his magic to chain them to the walls. He left Star Dim alone for a moment and went to go get Moonlight and her family. When he got there he started with Screwball, Disharmony, and Stellaluna. They were easy to deal with. Then he went into Moonlights bedroom. In a flash Moonlight, and Discord were with everyone else. He brought Discord with everyone else. Finally he had Moonlight and Star Dim to deal with. He brought them both to a smaller wall and chained them as well. When the two woke up they would be in for a big surprise.

"Moonlight! Wake up!" Star Dim yelled. Moonlight heard her voice and opened her eyes slowly. "Star Dim, what are you doing here?" Star Dim sounded nervous. "The question is what are WE doing here?" Moonlight opened her eyes wider and gasped. She and Star Dim both had their legs chained to a wall. They were in a large castle made of stone. "Where are we?" Moonlight asked. Star Dim sighed. "I don't know, but this place could use a little cleaning, and some decorating." Then they heard a voice. "Ah, good to see you girls are awake." Moonlight and Star Dim turned their heads towards the voice. A black Unicorn slipped out of the darkness. Star Dim and Moonlight both stood up. The Unicorn walked towards them. He turned towards Star Dim. "Star Dim, lovely as ever." Star Dim backed up. Then the Unicorn turned to Moonlight. "Moonlight Chaos, I can finally see you up close. You are breath taking." Star Dim growled. The Unicorn turned to Star Dim. "What's wrong? Jealous that Moonlight gets all the attention? Well you'll get attention, you and the rest of your family." Then the other side of the castle was lit. Star Dim and Moonlight gasped. Their family and their friends were chained on the other side of the castle. "Silverpants! Let them go!" Star Dim demanded. Moonlight remained silent. Silverpants saw his wife and tried to get to her. "Star Dim! What's going on?" The Unicorn smiled. "My name is Ink Illustration and I brought you all here to watch each other split apart." Discord glared at him and saw Moonlight. "Moonlight!" She turned and saw Discord and her family. "Discord! I can't get out!" Discord looked nervous. "Neither can I!" Ink Illustration smiled. "Oh good! Because those chains prevent the use of magic! Even chaotic magic......" Chocolate Pie jumped up. "So why are we over here, while Moonlight and Star Dim are over there?" Ink Illustration smirked. "Oh Star Dim will join you in a moment. I had my eye on her for a while." Star Dim gasped. "What?" Ink Illustration turned to Moonlight. " We are very similar, but seeing that she's a total drama queen and is being very rude I'm glad I changed my mind." Star Dim stomped her hoof. "I am not a drama queen! And why would I like you when you continue to insult me!" Ink Illustration shook his head. "My Star Dim, are you always this fussy?" Silverpants sighed. "Unfortunately yes." Star Dim glared at him. "Hey!" Silverpants backed up even though he was far from her. "I meant that in a good way! You may be a drama queen, but that's what I fell in love with!" Star Dim calmed down. Discord turned to Silverpants. "Actually I think Moonlight beat her. When nobody is around she can get completely dramatic." Ink ignored them and glanced at Moonlight. "Why so quiet my dear? Are you not happy? You're with your family and your friends, well not for long anyway." Moonlight stayed silent. Discord got angry. He began pulling on the chain. "Leave her alone!" He demanded. Ink Illustration sighed. "Why must you be so overprotective all the time? Why can't you just leave her alone?" Discord stopped. He sighed and dropped to the floor. He rose his paw up to his face and stayed quiet. Ink Illustration got closer to her. Moonlight backed up. She could hear the chain rattling and clinking as she moved back. Ink Illustration smirked. "Why are you backing up? I thought you didn't believe anypony was a monster." Moonlight looked into Ink's red eyes. "I don't. But I don't trust you."

Ink stared at Star Dim. "I'm done with you. Go be with your husband." He used his magic to move Star Dim and chained her next to Silverpants. The two ran over to each other. "I'm sorry Silverpants." Star Dim said. Silverpants hugged her. "You don't have to be darling. It's not your fault." Star Dim sighed. "But what about Moonlight?" The two looked at Ink and Moonlight. "Moonlight will be able to resist him, it's only Discord when we're in trouble." Silverpants said. He looked over at Discord still curled up and trying to hide. Chocolate Pie was the closest to him. "Discord, are you okay?" Discord said nothing. Chocolate Pie tried to think. "It's going to be alright. He's not hurting Moonlight." Discord spoke in a very quiet voice. "I can't save her." Chocolate Pie gasped. "Yes you can! You've done it many times before." Discord sighed. "Not this time. It's over." Chocolate felt tears form in her eyes. She dropped in defeat. Ink smiled. One by one he watched as they all gave up, they stopped trying to fight. Moonlight looked up at him. "What do you want from me?" She said in a quiet, stern voice. Ink Illustration had her, now he just needed to convince her to stay. It was going to take a lot of work, but he was going to have her. He pointed to the chains she was in. "Let's get you out of those shall we?" He used his magic to make a key appear. He unlocked the chains and allowed her to stand up. "There, much better." Then he made the key disappear. Moonlight glared at him. Ink Illustration frowned. "Why are you giving me that look? I just got you out of the chains, I brought your family and your friends here, what more do you want from me?" Moonlight sighed. "I want you to let them go. Let me go, why am I here? What do you want from me?" Ink Illustration smiled. "Well, that's an easy one. I want you." Moonlight stepped back. "No, I already have Discord. Why me? Why am I so different?" Ink looked at her. "Because, I have watched you from afar. You are a talented, beautiful pony. I'll bet if you tried you could do what I can." Moonlight turned towards him. "And what is that?" Ink Illustration used his magic to create an illusion of a young Pegasus flying around them. Then it disappeared into ink. "Come on my dear, just try. Please?" Moonlight sighed. Her horn began to glow and she used her magic to create illusions of cotton candy clouds raining chocolate milk. They quickly disappeared and vanished into ink. Ink Illustration clapped his hooves. "Well done!" Moonlight walked towards him. "Now will you let them go?" Ink Illustration needed to distract her. Then he made a slip of paper appear. "Do you remember seeing this?" Moonlight gasped when she saw it. It was the drawing of a wedding dress. "Yes, you were the one who did that?" Ink nodded. "And I can picture it right now, a beautiful pony in a beautiful dress." He used his magic to make a copy of the dress appear on Moonlight. "So my dear, what will it be?"

Moonlight Magic

Moonlight stepped to the side causing the illusion of the dress to fade. "No! I'm not marrying you, I love Discord!" Ink Illustration sighed. "Such a shame, and here I thought you would be easy to manipulate." Moonlight was thrown against the wall and the chains wrapped themselves around her legs. Then they both were locked. Moonlight felt dizzy, she looked up as Ink Illustration walked towards her. His horn began to glow and the light's began to dim. His red eyes began to glow. Moonlight felt tears in her eyes, she wished she were home, with Discord. She didn't want to be here. Ink Illustration needed something that would convince her to stay, permanently. Then he got an idea. In the dark he made Discord appear in front of them. Moonlight wanted to run towards him, but the chains would not let her go very far. Ink smiled. "Why don't you tell him how much you love him now, because it will be one of the last times he'll be able to talk back. But at least you'll still be able to see him." Moonlight watched as Ink Illustration's horn began to glow. Then Discord began to turn to stone. Moonlight screamed. "NO! Stop! Please!" Ink Illustration looked at her. "Tick tock Moonlight." Discord watched as the stone began to spread over his body. Moonlight tried to reach him but the chains held her back. "Discord! Stop it! Please! Let him go!" But Ink Illustration wouldn't listen. Discord looked at Moonlight's face. Tears were streaming down her face, she looked scared and angry. Discord's eyes widened. Moonlight looked up at Discord. "Discord......I'm sorry! I love you! Don't leave me please!" Discord sighed. "Don't be sorry, I love you too." Moonlight felt crushed. "Stop! I'll marry you just please let him go! Don't hurt him!" Discord shook his head. "Moonlight don't! I'm not worth it!" Moonlight grit her teeth. "Yes you are....." Ink Illustration stopped. "What was that?" Moonlight wanted to scream. She wanted to run. She felt her anger grew until she pulled at the chains and they broke away from the wall. Ink Illustration and Discord were shocked. Moonlight pinned him down. "Let him go now." Ink smirked. "Your too adorable." Moonlight pressed down harder. "Let him go!" Then Ink began to disappear. Moonlight sighed and reversed the spell on Discord. Then Ink Illustration reappeared. He hit Moonlight with a spell causing her to fly against the wall. He pushed Discord against the other wall and chained him again with the others. Moonlight opened her eyes. Her head hurt and she felt tired. Ink Illustration walked towards her. "Why try to resist me when I can make the pain go away? Just choose me and you can have whatever you want. Choose me and all the power can be yours." Moonlight groaned. "You're willing to hurt me and my friends to get what you want?" Ink Illustration shook his head. "No my dear, I'm just trying to help you see what your risking. Remember what happened to your friend Dark Chaos?" Moonlight nodded. "She chose wrong, just like I will if I choose you." Ink Illustration sighed. "Very well, just know you gave me no choice." Then he seeped himself into her mind and wiped every memory involving Discord. Moonlights eyes flooded with tears. Then Moonlight dropped to the floor and her eyes shut.

Images of Discord and Moonlight flashed in front of their eyes. One by one they all began to fade. Moonlight's friends gasped. Discord was hurt more and more as each memory was shown and faded. Every time they had been together, every time they had done something, and now it was vanishing. "Daddy, what's he doing?" Screwball asked nervously. Discord shook his head. "It's better if you don't know Screwball." Disharmony leaned towards them. "Can't we stop him? He's trying to take Mom away!" Discord sighed. "There is nothing we can do, I can't do anything without my magic. It's over........" Stellaluna and Disharmony gasped. Discord curled up, and for the first time in years, he began to cry. Moonlight was going to have to marry Ink Illustration. As soon as everypony could hear Discord they knew what was going to happen. Moonlight's friends began to cy silently. Some of the stallions began to sniffle and sigh. By the time all the images faded the floor was covered in tears. Star Dim was a mess, Chocolate Pie's mane was flat, and Discorded Swirls felt angry. She didn't even care if she was crying, she wanted her friend back. Ink Illustration smirked. Then he began filling Moonlight's memories with images of himself. He was all she needed to remember. He walked over to her friends and stared at them. "Hmmm, how am I going to deal with all of you?" But he did not have time to continue because Moonlight was waking up. He lowered the lights so she would only see him. Moonlight opened her eyes and looked up. Ink walked over to her. Moonlight glared at him for a moment, then she wrapped a hoof around him. Ink Illustration smirked. Moonlight Chaos was his.

Ink Illustration smiled at Moonlight. He used his magic to make a ring box appear. "Well, my dear, what do you say? Will you become my queen?" Moonlight smiled. Ink Illustration pulled off the ring Discord gave her. "You won't be needing this anymore." Then he tossed the ring across the room. Moonlight turned towards the darkness. "Wait, what was that other ring?" Ink Illustration looked nervous. "That was an old one, you don't need it dear, I assure you." Moonlight took a step towards it but Ink Illustration stopped her. "It's an old ring, I get it for you after the wedding, okay my sweet?" Moonlight shook her head. "But why wait? Let's get it now, besides it looked familiar......" Ink Illustration tried to stop her but she used her magic. "Moonlight, no!" As soon as she was in front of the ring she heard voices. Moonlight glared into the darkness. "Who is that?" Ink began to panick. "It's nopony, the castle just echoes. Come with me my dear, we have so much to plan." Moonlight shook her head again. "No, I heard somepony. What are you hidding?" Ink Illustration felt sweat form. "Nothing dear. I promise, just please come with me." Moonlight used her magic and filled the castle with light revealing all of her friends. Moonlight gasped. Ink stepped back, Moonlight was mad. Ink tried to calm her down. "Um, I can explain......" Moonlight glared at him. "Explain what? There are only two explanations here, I'm either imagining this, or you lied to me. And you and I BOTH know what the answer is."

Lost in the Dark

Moonlight glared at Ink. "Why do you have all these ponies chained against the wall?" Ink Illustration tried to think of another lie. "Well, they are guests." Chocolate Pie growled at him. "No we are not! You brought us here! You did this on purpose you meanie, now Moonlight's gone!" Moonlight looked at Chocolate Pie. "You know who I am?" Chocolate nodded. Moonlight turned to Ink Illustration. "They seem to know who I am, what's going on Ink? If you really care about me tell me why." Ink Illustration got nervous. Moonlight walked down the row of ponies, then she stopped at Discord. "You look familiar....." Ink stepped in front of her. "It's just a Draconequus dear. They are out of control, and very awful creatures." Moonlight turned to him. "This one doesn't. He does not look mean or awful looking. He has a rather unique appearance too. I kind of like it." Then she turned towards the ring. She walked towards it and picked it up. "This does not look like something you would give to me. But it is a very pretty ring." Then she looked at Discord. "Did you give this to me?" Discord looked up at her. "How did you know?" Moonlight gasped. "Your voice, it's amazing. You gave me the ring, I don't remember how. Why?"  The Draconequus sighed. "Because I love you, I have never met a mare before that has what you have. Your beauty is beyond compare, your power is amazing, and you were able to love something nopony did." Moonlight's eyes widened. "Discord?.…" Discord looked up at her. "Moonlight, you remember me?" Moonlight walked over to him. "Of course I do." Discord wrapped his arms around her. Ink Illustration tore Moonlight away from him. "No! She's mine." Moonlight growled at him. "You lied to me." Ink Illustration backed up. "Moonlight, calm down dear." Moonlight didn't listen. "I can't believe you. You brought us here, you kept me away from my friends and my family, you took away my memories of Discord, and I can't remember any of them all thanks to you! You almost turned him to stone just so I would marry you! You said you would make me happy when you haven't done anything!" Ink Illustration grew angry. "I can still keep you here! You can live the rest of your life chained to that wall! Either way, you will marry me! I can keep you all here!" Moonlight sighed. They couldn't be kept here, if she was what he wanted, he was unfortunately going to have her. "If I marry you, will you let them go?" Ink Illustration's ears perked up. "I'm listening."

Moonlight stared into his eyes. "If I marry you, will you let them go and never disturb any of them again? I won't leave, I won't fight. You can do whatever you want with me, just let them go. They can't stay here. I you want me then you can have me. I....promise." Ink Illustration thought for a moment. "Very well, but first....." He used his magic to chain Moonlight to the wall once more. "Just so you don't get any ideas my dear. You can say goodbye but then they all leave forever." Ink Illustration grabbed the key and was about to  let all of them go. But then he stopped. "Wait, I'm going to need proof you won't break your promise." Ink Illustration walked towards Moonlight. "Kiss me." Moonlight's eyes widened. She looked at Discord. He looked upset. She didn't want to do any of this, but she wasn't going to let Ink Illustration keep them here just because he wanted her. She didn't want Discord to suffer. Moonlight walked closer to Ink Illustration. She stopped when she felt the chains pulling on her. Ink walked towards her. Moonlight's friends watched in terror. "She's not really going to do it, is she?" Discorded Swirls asked. Crazed Candy sighed. "I don't think she has a choice." Cotton Feathers frowned. "She can't marry him, she can't. Moony doesn't love him." Silverpants nodded. "Yes, but considering the situation we are in, like your friend said. I don't think she has a choice." They watched as Moonlight and Ink got closer. Moonlight didn't like this, it felt so forced. She felt so tense and so uncomfortable doing this. It wasn't like when she had kissed Discord. She actually loved him and trusted him. Discord could tell how she was feeling by the look on her face. She didn't want to do this. But he watched in horror as they were about to touch. Moonlight just wanted to get it done with. She leaned forward and felt it. It was like venom, poison dripping through her body. Ink Illustration was enjoying every moment. She was kissing him. Moonlight wanted to end it, but Ink kept her there. Eventually he let her go. "That's more like it." He said. Then he let everyone go free. Moonlight dropped to the floor. Discord ran over to Moonlight. "Are you alright?" Moonlight nodded. "I can't let him keep you here. And this way he won't bother you again." Discord looked down at her with sad eyes. "Why did you do that?" Moonlight looked miserable. "Because you mean everything to me, and I'm not going to let anyone take you away from me." Discord reached out to touch her. "I'll never see you again....." Moonlight gave him her ring. "I know, but I want you to know, that no matter what happens my heart belongs to only you. I'm sorry." Discord kissed her on her forehead. "Don't be. I love you." Moonlight gave him a small smile. "I love you too." She got closer to him and kissed him. This time it felt so much better. The nervous feeling left, her senses slowly shut down for a moment. When she let go of him she felt her heart ache. "Promise me you'll find some way to find me." Discord nodded. "I promise." He put his arms around her. "My dear Moonlight, I love you."  As Discord turned and was leaving with Screwball, Stellaluna, and Disharmony. "Isn't Mom coming with us?" Disharmony asked. Discord shook his head. "No she's staying here. And we are going home. She's not coming back." Stellaluna's eyes widened. "Why Daddy?" Discord sighed. "I tell you everything when we get home. But your mother loves you."  They were all sad, they would never be able to see her again. Ink let Moonlight out of her chains. "Now you and I have a wedding to plan...." Moonlight turned away from him. Just as Discord was about to follow everyone else outside he snapped his fingers. Moonlight gasped as her Element of Chaos appeared. Moonlight looked at it and could almost literally feel her heart breaking now. Ink Illustration grit his teeth. "Get out all of you." Then Discord flew into the room. "You don't deserve her." Ink Illustration stomped his hoof. "She doesn't deserve you either. Why would she love a hideous monster like you?! She's mine now." Moonlight gasped. But she couldn't do anything about it. She couldn't remember anything. She couldn't think straight. Ink Illustration smiled. "Don't worry, I will make you happy. At least I'm not a monster Moonlight." Discord was tired of this, he hadn't even left and he already felt like something was missing. It was Moonlight. Discord gathered all of his magic and was ready to attack. He was through. "Leave her alone! You will never be able to make her happy! She belongs to me!" Moonlight shook her head. "Discord stop, just go.......please don't make this worse." Discord stared at her. "I can't leave, especially not when my other half is going to leave." Ink Illustration smirked. "So sweet. Listen to her Discord. She belongs to me now." He pulled Moonlight towards him. He wrapped his hoof around her. Moonlight tried to pull away. "Wait!" She screamed. Ink Illustration looked at her. "Let me ask him one question, then I will make sure he leaves." Moonlight didn't want to do this, but if it worked......She gently kissed him again. Ink smiled. "Fine, but you WILL make sure he leaves." Moonlight nodded. She walked towards Discord. "What was our wedding like?" She still couldn't remember anything but she wanted to know what happened that day. Discord sighed. "It was the best day of my life, and yours. You wearing a beautiful, black dress." He snapped his fingers and the dress appeared on Moonlight. "I didn't think you could look more amazing then you already do. But I was wrong in so many ways."

Discord continued. "As the ceremony went on I got more and more nervous. But every time I looked at you it all went away. Then in a second we got the rings and........." Moonlight's eyes widened. "We kissed didn't we?" Discord nodded. Moonlight looked at the dress she was wearing. Supposedly it was the dress she had worn. It was beautiful, even though she couldn't remember anything she still knew that Discord had probably been much better then Ink Illustration would ever be. "Thank you. You need to leave, I promised I would make sure you would go. I'm letting him hurt you." Discord glared at Ink Illustration. "I'm not leaving......" Moonlight gasped. "What!" Ink Illustration glared at him. "Your not leaving...." Discord stared at Moonlight. "You are not marrying him. I'm not letting you." Moonlight grabbed his arm. "And I'm not going to let you get hurt." Discord sighed. "I know, so I'm not going to make you choose." He flew over to the wall and grabbed one of the chains and put Moonlight in it. "I'm sorry for doing this." Discord said. Moonlight looked up at him. Discord sighed. "Please don't look at me like that." Ink Illustration narrowed his eyes. "Get out." Discord turned to him. "I'm not leaving. She belongs to me." Ink Illustration smirked. "She belongs to you? I don't remember her saying that. She is going to marry me, she belongs to ME." Discord grew angry. "She will never be happy with you. Nothing you do will ever please her. You won't ever let her go, you will continue to push her around." Ink rolled his eyes. "Oh really, like you were so willing to let her go." Discord growled. "Unlike you I truly love her." Ink Illustration laughed. "Then let's prove it...." He jumped towards Discord. "Discord, Ink don't!" Moonlight called. She was not going to let Discord get hurt. They didn't hear her, she knew Discord already had put her in the chain, only to protect her. But she was going to stop this. She tore at the chain, it began to break from the wall. Finally the chain broke from the wall. She couldn't use magic.  So she flew in between them and they both struck her, Moonlight then screamed. It terrified Discord. Ink Illustration gasped. "No........" They watched as Moonlight collapsed onto the floor. Discord and Ink Illustration stopped. Ink Illustration Eyes widened. "What, no!" Discord ran to get to Moonlight. He hit Ink Illustration with his magic causing him to be knocked out. Then he rushed over to Moonlight. She had taken total damage. She was full of cuts, and part of her was bleeding. She felt very cold. "No no no no! Moonlight I'm sorry! No no no no!" Discord was terrified. The others heard and peered through the door, when they saw what happened they looked at Moonlight and gasped. Discord was petrified. "What have I done?"

Discord tied to use his magic, but he was so afraid and upset that he couldn't control his power. She looked bad. "No no no! Moonlight I am so sorry!" Moonlight slowly opens her eyes, but her breathing was becoming slower. "Discord......" Discord picked her up. "I'm right here, I'm sorry. You're going to be okay, I promise." Moonlight was breathing very hard and she looked tired. "Discord?" Moonlight said in a quiet voice. "Yes Moonlight?" Discord said in a sad tone. "I love you." Moonlight said. Discord brushed some of her hair away. "I love you too, Moonlight please.……please don't leave me. Why did you do that? You were supposed to stay put." Moonlight's eyes began to close. "I couldn't let you get hurt. I wasn't going to let him hurt you just because you two both wanted me." She reached her hoof towards Discord. He wrapped his claw around it and put her down. "You are the bravest pony in Equestria. Just know that." Moonlight smiled. "Isn't chaos fascinating?" Discord laughed a little. "But it's better with you." He grabbed Moonlight's ring and put it back on her horn. "This is your ring. You need to keep it." Moonlight sighed. "I will." Discord felt nervous. "Moonlight don't leave me alone. I can't do anything without you. I don't want any other mare in my life but you. My beautiful, dear Moonlight Chaos." Moonlight began to whisper. "You are the only one I ever loved too. It's the King of Chaos I fell in love with, not an average stallion." Then Moonlight's eyes turned from red and yellow to blue and her hair stopped it's flowing motion. Discord became very scared. "Moonlight, remember that night? When we were younger, it was nighttime, and I took you to that hill overlooking Equestria?" Moonlight shook her head. " I wish I could, but my memory is a bit of a blur." She tried to think. "Wait, that night where.....Dark Chaos tried to kill me?" Discord nodded. "Yeah, that one. Should we finish where we left off?" Moonlight smiled. "Of course." Discord and Moonlight leaned towards each other, they grew closer until they shared one more kiss. Then Moonlight dropped to the floor. "Discord?" Moonlight's voice was now almost gone. "Yes?" Discord answered. Moonlight took a deep breath. "You are the most special creature in Equestria. Don't let anyone tell you differently. You are not a monster. Nopony is. Thank you for everything you did, and for every time you were there for me. If there was a word to describe my love for you I would use it but there isn't. And there never will be." Moonlight then cast one more spell. She summoned the Element of Chaos. She took the jewels out of their necklaces and placed them in a row. She put her Element in the middle. Then she made a thread go through them. When she finished she put it around Discord's neck. "You made one for me, I can make one for you." Discord looked at the gems and sighed. "I can't live without you, don't go. Your the best thing that happened to me. " Moonlight sighed. " Your the best thing that happened to me too. I love you." Then she noticed that everypony was walking towards them. She looked at Discords eyes. "You have such beautiful eyes." Her eyes were almost shut. Moonlight clenched her teeth. "It hurts......" Discord looked straight into her eyes. "I can make the pain go away." He brought her closer and gave her a gentle kiss.  Then a single tear fell down her eye. It fell into Discord's paw. Then her eyes closed. Her last breath flew out of her mouth. And she dropped. Discord shut his eyes and grit his teeth. "No......Moonlight........NO!!!!" The one pony that he loved and treasured, was gone. She was the only pony that loved him and showed in every possible way. Discord looked down at the Elements of Chaos. They were all the things he loved about her. He took them in his claw and gently blew on them. They turned into colors of light and streamed into Moonlight's body. Discord picked Moonlight up. She was cold, pale, and beginning to get stiff. Discord held on to her like a young filly with a doll. For the second time he began to cry. Only this time a long, thick stream of tears came flowing out. He had never cried so hard in his life. All of Moonlight's friends began to cry as well. The stallions tried to be brave but even they felt anger inside. Because of Moonlight they were all together, because of her, everything was possible. One of Discord's tears fell onto Moonlight's face. Then a stream of colors began to form. They swirled around Moonlight's friends, Screwball, Disharmony, Stellaluna, and himself. Then everything moved to Discord, color rushed over Moonlight's body. All of her cuts and wounds were healed, her mane began to flow again, and all her magic was restored. After everything dimmed Discord looked at Moonlight. She slowly opened her eyes, they were red and yellow again. She looked up at Discord. "Moonlight........"Discord said in a surprised voice. He squeezed her tightly. Moonlight looked at herself then at Discord. "Discord." Her voice sounded stronger. Discord squeezed her tighter. "Keep talking please!" Moonlight looked confused. "Why?" Discord smiled. "Because I love your voice!" Moonlight smiled. "Were you crying?" Discord looked nervous. He wiped a tear from his eye. "Um, maybe. Even if I was, it's now liquid happiness!" Moonlight giggled and wrapped her hooves around him. "Don't leave me again please." Discord said. "I won't, I promise." Moonlight whispered. Then they heard voices behind them. "Daddy, look!" Discord and Moonlight turned to see Stellaluna wearing a crown with her cutie mark on it. Midnight had a necklace with her cutie mark on it too. So did Flutterbreeze, Rainbow Swirls, Twisted Taffy, and Vanilla Pie. Discord glanced at Moonlight. "It seems your little theory was right." Moonlight smiled. "Maybe, but we can talk about that later." Discord smiled. "You learned well." Then they both flipped each other over and kissed. "Can you remember anything?" Discord asked. Moonlight nodded. "I remember everything." Then she turned to Ink Illustration who was still unconscious. "What are we going to do with him?" Discord smirked. "Don't worry about that. I found out that he has a sister who is going to care of him." Moonlight turned around to see White Page hiding in the dark.

Discorded Love

After everything was back to it's chaotic ways Moonlight and Discord could be together again. White Page found Ink Illustration and brought him home where his mother would be watching him. Discord and Moonlight found out about Stellaluna's, Disharmony's, and Screwball's crushes. At first Discord overreacted and was a little overprotective. But he calmed down as time passed because he knew that he wasn't going to be able to keep them from finding love. After all he had found it many years ago. And besides at least Stellaluna and Disharmony liked ponies he already knew. Moonlight was happy that they were all finding happiness by being with the ones they loved. As they got older they started growing apart from her and Discord. By the time Screwball was old enough and she had completely fallen in love with Topsy Turvy, he asked her to marry him.

Screwball was overjoyed. She now knew how her mother and father felt. She was in love and was married. Moonlight ran over to her and embraced her in a warm hug. "I am so happy for you. I remember what this kind of day felt like for me." Screwball smiled. "Thanks Mom. Where is Daddy?" Moonlight laughed. "You know your Dad, having a little fun." Topsy Turvy came running over to Screwball. "Screwball, you look amazing!" Screwball beamed. "Thank you, Topsy Turvy, this is my Mom." Topsy Turvy looked at Moonlight. "Nice to finally talk to you." Moonlight laughed. "Same to you, just take care of my daughter alright?" Topsy Turvy nodded. "Don't worry, I will." Then Moonlight ran off in search of Discord. Suddenly she bumped into somepony. "Oh, I'm sorry....." Moonlight said. Then she looked up at the pony and gasped. It was a light blue Unicorn, with a neat, curly mane. "Mom?" Moonlight said. The Unicorn looked at her. "Moonlight sweetie, is that you?" Moonlight nodded. "I can't believe I found you! Where is Dad?" Moonlight's mother laughed. "I'll call him. Honey, come here!" Then a tall black Pegasus walked towards her. When he saw Moonlight his eyes widened. "Moonlight? Is that really you?" Moonlight smiled. "Hi Dad." Moonlight's father looked at his wife. "Am I dreaming?" Moonlight's mother shook her head. "No." Then they both wrapped her hoofs around Moonlight. Then she looked up at them. "Have you met my husband yet? Discord?" Moonlight's parent's looked at each othe nervously.

Discord was having some fun with the other guests when he heard Moonlight calling him. He flew over the crowd and found her. She was being hugged by a blue Unicorn and a black Pegasus. Discord stopped in front of them. Moonlight was let go and walked towards him. "Mom, Dad, this is Discord, my husband." Discord glanced at the two ponies. They looked a little nervous. But then they relaxed. "Wait, Discord as in....…the Spirit of Chaos? The Draconequus that rules Equestria?" Moonlight's father asked. Moonlight nodded. "Yes, and perfect in every possible way." Her mother sighed. "Well, if you love him then that's enough for me. We are sorry we gave you a hard time, your just different.We should have accepted that." Discord smiled a little. Moonlights father stuck out his hoof. "Pleasure to meet you." Discord just stared at them. Moonlight looked at her parents. "He's not used to being so formal, it's not really his thing." Moonlight father stepped back. "Oh sorry. I just hope you made the right descision Moonlight." Moonlight looked up at Discord. "I KNOW I did." Discord smiled. "I'm glad that you think so." Moonlight's dad smiled. "I hope you've been taking good care of our daughter." Moonlight sighed. "Believe me, he's done better then that." Discord pulled her close. "You are just too irresistible. You flatter me."  Discord was just happy Moonlight was paying attention to him again. But she found her parents, she had him, she had chaos. What could be finer? Then he snapped his fingers causing cotton candy clouds to appear and rain chocolate milk. Everypony cheered. Discord and Moonlight leaned close together and kissed. Moonlight's parents smiled. Though they didn't exactly know Discord vey well, and besides the fact he was the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony, they were just glad their daughter was happy. In fact they had never seen her this happy before, or this in love. Discord and Moonlight smiled. They would always be together. Always. "Oh did you meet any of our kids yet?" Moonlight asked her parents. Moonlight's mother gasped. "Well, how nice for you. Where are they?" Moonlight laughed. "Well, one of them is the bride. And the other two are probably with their big sister." Moonlight dad smiled. "Lead the way sweetheart...." Moonlight smiled and took her dads hoof. Moonlight's mother looked up at Discord. "My Moonlight really does love you. Thank you for taking care of her. You know I'm starting to see why she likes you so much." Discord backed up. "Thank you but I already have Moonlight. Besides your already married...." Moonlight's mother laughed. "Yes I know. If you don't mind me asking, after I see your three children, would you mind showing me some of your tricks?" Discord smiled. "Not at all."

Shimmering Star, Midnight, Diamond Ring and Vanilla Pie, Dark Chocolate Pie, and Strawberry Pie

Star Dim, Silverpants and their family were finally going home after the long day they had. "That was a lovely way to spend the day!" Star Dim said with delight. Silverpants nodded. "I'm glad you enjoyed yourself my dear. You and your friends certainly went into a deep conversation earlier today." Star Dim blushed. "We had a delightful time, I'm glad you could spend more time with the other stallions." Silverpants smiled. "Indeed, they were all charming. I'm glad I could talk to Discord some more. I had not seen him since the party we had in the Canterlot fields." Then they heard moaning from behind them. "Mother! Father! I chipped a hoof!" They both turned around to see Shimmering Star with tears in her eyes. She had a small chip in her hoof. Star Dim rushed over to her. "Oh goodness. Shimmering Star, are you alright?" Then Midnight sighed. "All this fuss over a chipped hoof. Is this really necessary?" Shimmering Star glared at her. "You do the exact same thing Midnight!" Midnight rolled her eyes. "I do not!" Shimmering Star began yelling. "Yes you do!" Then they began arguing back and forth. "I do not!"  "Yes you do!"  "No I don't"  "Yes you do!" Then Silverpants cut in. "Girls! Stop this at once. Shimmering Star you are going to be fine. Midnight, please stop teasing your younger sister." The two of them groaned. "Fine." They said in unison. Then they both got up. "Why do you both have to be so dramatic?" Diamond Ring asked. Midnight and Shimmering Star looked angry. "We are not dramatic!" Star Dim sighed. "Those three are almost as chaotic and trouble as Discord's foals." Silverpants laughed. "They certainly are my dear."

Chocolate Pie and Vanilla Pie were both hopping and skipping along. She looked back at her husband and Strawberry Pie and Dark Chocolate Pie. "Come on you three! Hurry up, we're WAY ahead!" Raspberry Pie smiled. "You go ahead. These two are a little tired." Vanilla and Chocolate looked at each other. "Okie dokie lokie!" Vanilla Pie shouted. Chocolate glared at her daughter. "You certainly seem cheerful!" Vanilla smiled. "I am! Today was one the most super fun ultra amazing bestest of the best day EVER!" Chocolate Pie giggled. "Did you have fun playing with your friends today?" Vanilla Pie nodded. "I sure did Mom! But Diamond Ring, Midnight, and Shimmering Star were a little silly, they were afraid their manes were going to get messed up or they might chip a hoof!" Chocolate smiled. "Well their parents are Star Dim and Silverpants after all!" Vanilla Pie nodded then hugged her mother. "But your my Mom. And your the best." Chocolate's eyes filled with tears. "Aw! Thank you sooooo much!" Then they both continued to hop off. Meanwhile Raspberry was trying to get Dark Chocolate and Strawberry to go a little faster. "Come on you two! Your mother and sister are waiting for us!" Dark Chocolate smiled deviously. "Maybe we can hope they don't pay attention and hit their head!" Raspberry sighed. "Dark Chocolate Pie, mind your manners young filly." Strawberry nodded. "Yeah! Mom loves us!" Dark Chocolate sighed. "Alright, I'm sorry Daddy. I just want to have a little fun!" Raspberry shook his head. "Looks like somepony is look for chaos and trouble, well you'd have to see Discord for that. Maybe tomorrow you can visit him tomorrow alright sweetie?" Dark Chocolate perked up. "Alright, thank you Daddy!" Then Chocolate bounced next to him. "Hi!" She said. "Hi!" Raspberry said in a cheery voice. "I want to know where she gets it?" Chocolate Pie was confused. "Get what Raspberry? In case you don't know, I'm not exactly the Element of Confusion." Raspberry pointed towards Dark Chocolate. "Where she get's her adittude, she can be so cruel sometimes." Chocolate smiled. "I don't know! Maybe from Moonlight! She can be pretty mean sometimes! But she is your daughter." Raspberry smiled. "Yes she is, wether she has a more chaotic side or a funnier side."

Flutterbreeze and Twisted Taffy

Cotton Feathers watched as Flutterbreeze slowly walked with her. "What's wrong Flutterbreeze?" Her daughter looked up at her. "Oh nothing Mom! I'm sorry!" Butterscotch pulled her closer. "It's alright. Did you have fun today?" Flutterbreeze nodded. "Yes, I did. I really enjoyed spending time with Diamond Ring. He is a very nice looking colt and he is so considerate and generous." Cotton Feathers and Butterscotch looked at each other. "Alright then. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself and that you had fun with Diamond Ring. Did you play with Twisted Taffy, Rainbow Swirls, Midnight, Shimmering Star, Screwball, or Stellauna?" Flutterbreeze glanced at them. "I did spend a little time with Shimmering Star and Stellaluna. Rainbow Swirls talked to me for a little bit, so did Twisted Taffy. Screwball and Midnight never really came over to me. Disharmony and Chaotic Blaze talked to me for a bit but then they joined Diamond Ring again." Cotton Feathers gave her daughter a sweet look. "Just remember that Screwball, Disharmony, and Stellauna are Discord's and Moonlight children, they are a little more chaotic and powerful then you. But that doesn't mean your not the prettiest and most special little filly in the world. I'm sure you'll be able to spend more time with Screwball and Midnight next time." Flutterbreeze nodded. "Oh, okay Mom."

"How was today Twisted Taffy? Did you enjoy yourself?" Bitter Tart asked. "It was barrels of fun! I played so many games and had so much fun that I'll probably be sleepin' till noon!" Crazed Candy beamed. "That's good to hear! We had fun too!" Twisted Taffy looked at them. "What did you guys do?" Bitter Tart and Crazed Candy looked at each other and blushed. "Nothing! It was nothing really! We just sat down and talked all day, nothin' much going on....." Crazed Candy said. Then Twisted Taffy began speaking words that were not understandable. Bitter Tart held up his hoof. "Hold it! Try to speak normal sweetheart. You mother and I can't understand you!" Twisted Taffy covered her mouth. "Sorry! Sometimes I can't control it!" Crazed Candy smiled. "Don't worry sugarcube. Sometimes I can't controll it either." Then Crazed Candy began speaking nonsense. "Now you too! Your uniqueness is just to irresisable." Bitter Tart said to his wife. Crazed Candy rolled her eyes. "Your special too ya know." Bitter Tart picked them both up and embraced them in a hug. "Maybe but I love my family more!"

True Feelings

"Moonlight, are you alright sugar?" Crazed Candy asked. Moonlight shook her head. "No, I'm not alright! I......just......" Discorded Swirls flew in front of her face. "Woah woah woah! What happened to you? Where is Moonlight?" Moonlight glared at Discorded angrily. Discorded Swirls was taken aback by this and backed up a bit. Most of the time Moonlight wasn't so angry and mean. Star Dim sighed. "Look darling, none of us besides Crazed Candy know what happened but......could you at least try to calm down." Moonlight narrowed her eyes then turned away from them. Chocolate Pie gasped. "Moonlight! Why are you being so mean? I mean do you really think Discord would do something like that? Do you REALLY believe that?" Moonlight turned to Chocolate Pie quickly. "I don't know! It doesn't but......." Moonlight sighed, she couldn't finish. Cotton Feathers grew angry. "What is the matter with you?" Moonlight turned to Cotton Feathers. Crazed Candy got in between the both of them. "Alright stop! Cotton Feathers don't push it any further, and Moonlight listen to me. I want to tell you something, I know what I saw. But that was NOT Discord. He loves you, last time I bumped into him in town all he did was talk about you. He never changed the subject, if I asked him something he would answer but then always find some way to put you in it. I have never seen him look at anyone the same way he does with you. He gives you more attention then my own husband gives me! The truth is, I sometimes get a little jealous about that." Moonlight stared at her. "Really?" Everypony nodded. "He gives you more attention then my husband does too." Star Dim said. "Or mine!" Chocolate Pie said. "Even mine......." Discorded Swirls said in a depressed voice. "Or mine." Cotton Feathers added. Crazed Candy continued. "Look Moonlight, I know your mad but, like Chocolate said, does that really sound like Discord to you?" Moonlight jumped off her bed and flew out the door.

Discord could hear hoof steps coming from upstairs. Then he was knocked down by Moonlight. She wrapped her hooves around him tightly. "I'm sorry! I won't yell at you again, I promise! I am so sorry! Please don't hate me!" Discord tried to move but Moonlight held onto him tightly. "Why would I hate you? I love you, nothing will change that." Moonlight sighed. "I'm sorry, I love you too." Discord wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer to him. Moonlight had been so angry she had almost forgotten how good it felt when he was holding her. His touch was so gentle and he was holding her tightly as if he did not want anyone taking her away. Her friends were right. Discord gave her more attention then anypony ever received. Sometimes it felt too good to be true, but then again with a little chaos anything is possible. "Awww, you guys are so cute!" Discord and Moonlight looked up to see Chocolate Pie smiling in a happy and lovable way. Discord just shrugged and went to back to Moonlight. He didn't care if the whole world saw, nothing was going to come between him or Moonlight ever again, and he was going to make sure of that.

Stellaluna and Diamond Ring

Stellaluna felt very bored. She laid down on her bed trying to think of something to do. Then Stone flew into her room. "Hi Stone. Are you bored too?" Stellaluna asked. Then she noticed something in his mouth, it was a letter. "What do you have Stone? Is it for me?" Stone dropped the letter in front of her and curled up next to her. Stellaluna used her magic to pull the letter out of the envelope. She found inside a note and a small necklace. It was from Diamond Ring. Stellaluna, I hope you had a fun time at the gala a while ago, and I'm glad I got to dance with you. I hope we can spend more time together in the future. I found some small gems while searching for them with Mother. I used them to make this necklace for you, I hope you like it. Diamond Ring Stellaluna pulled the necklace out of the envelope and looked at it. It was full of white, and blue gems. Some of them were crushed into smaller pieces giving them their own form. In the middle was a purple gem in the shape of a moon covered by a cloud. It was very similar to her cutie mark. A crescent moon with a large cotton candy cloud over it. It was very similar to her brothers cutie mark. A sun covered by a cotton candy cloud. Stellaluna smiled and put the necklace on Stone. She giggled. "It looks good on you Stone." Stone looked happy, but he took the necklace off and put around Stellaluna. She gazed at the note one more time. "I think Diamond Ring likes me." She found a sheet of paper next to her bed. She grabbed a pen and began to write.

Diamond Ring was nervous. Would she like the necklace? Did she like him? He began to pace around his bedroom and felt beads of sweat beginning to form. "Great, now I'm starting to sweat! Oh why do girls have to be so difficult!" Then he heard a tapping on his window. He turned around to see Stone. "What's Stellaluna's pet cockatrice doing here?" He walked over to his window and let the cockatrice in. Stone placed a letter on a desk then flew out the window. Diamond Ring pushed some of his purple mane away, and walked towards his desk. He used his magic to open the letter. It was from Stellaluna. Diamond Ring, thank you for the beautiful necklace. I love it, I hope you will keep making more. I hope sometime we can get together again. Stellaluna Diamond Ring gasped. She liked it, she liked him. He felt like his heart was going to burst. "Yes!" Then something else slipped out of the envelope. It was a diamond. Diamond Ring used his magic to transform it into a necklace. Now he needed to find more jewels. He had a lot of necklaces to make.
