The Chaos Game

Celestia could feel her heart beating, sweat beginning to form, and her body beginning to shake. Luna looked at her sister. "Celestia, you don't look to well, maybe I should face her alone." Celestia shook her head. "No Luna, you need to save your power. Only fight if you must. Do you understand?" Luna nodded. "Yes dear sister." Celestia tried to prepare herself but it was too late. The game had already begun. Nightmare Moon began to try and hit Celestia. Her cerulean beams went everywhere. Celestia tried to fight back, but Nightmare Moon was too strong. All she could do was stall. Without Luna's help they would lose. Even with Luna's help they would still lose. And it was just going to get worse, finally an idea came to her. She would have to lose this, when Luna would find out Discord's weakness. She could find how to defeat all of them, then with the Elements of Harmony back they could restore Order and Peace. Slowly she began to give in, Nightmare Moon was winning. As the moon got higher into the sky, Nightmare Moon got stronger and Celestia grew weaker. Eventually she was too tired to do anything. Nightmare Moon pushed her away. They had lost again. By the time the moon was almost at it's highest peak Celestia had regained most of her strength. Everyone went into their own rooms, Celestia turned to Luna. "Try to find out as much as you can, maybe even a key to winning this." Luna nodded. "Very well, if this is what you want." Luna slowly slipped out the door. She flew down the hall and into Discord's room. When she got inside she found Discord sleeping on a cotton candy cloud wrapping himself around Moonlight. Luna sighed. "I cannot believe I'm doing this." Slowly she used her magic to enter into Discord's dream.

When she got inside it looked like nothing had happened. She was still in a world of chaos, but it wasn't as dark out. She turned around to see Discord and Moonlight. Looking around for a place to hide she found a small bush and his inside it. Just as she was about to continue watching she heard a noise next to her. She moved some of the branches to see Nightmare Moon sitting next to her. "What are you doing here?" Luna asked. Nightmare Moon rolled her eyes. "Your not the only one who has the abilities to enter dreams or nightmares you know." Luna sighed. "Okay, then why are you here?" Nightmare Moon gave her a smug smile. "Discord told me it's okay if I enter his dreams just as long as I don't interfere with anything. Besides I like watching these two. They give me a few laughs and get very romantic sometimes. And cause twice the chaos seeing that they share the same dream....." Luna interrupted. "Wait, they share the same dream?" Nightmare Moon nodded. "Yes, they enter into each others mind and share one dream....or nightmare.I thought you were supposed to know this kind of stuff already!"Luna rolled her eyes and continued to watch. She began to make sense of what was going on. Discord and Moonlight were on the edge of a mountain. Luna could see everything from this point. "Is it always the edge of a mountain you're going to take me to when we have alone time?" Moonlight asked. Discord looked like he was going to snap his fingers. "You don't like it up here? If not I can change that?" Moonlight shook her head. "No, it's fine up here. Really...." Discord glared at her. "Are you afraid you're going to fall of the edge? Because if you do I'll catch you." Moonlight smiled. "I know you will." Luna was curious about this. "Do they always act like this?" She asked Nightmare Moon. "Most of the time, but sometimes they get a little.....crazy if you know what I mean." Was Nightmare Moons reply. Luna went back to Discord. He was just staring at Moonlight. "Why is he doing that?" Luna asked. Nightmare Moon laughed. "Oh he always does that. He just stares at her for a while." Luna gave her a confused look. He always does that? Seriously, what does he do with her when nobody else is around? Moonlight then got closer to Discord she put her hooves around him. Luna watched as Discord took his claw and ran it through her mane multiple times. "You have the prettiest mane in the world." Discord said. Moonlight continued to hug him. "You have the most amazing eyes." Discord smiled. "Really? You are the only one who has ever mentioned my eyes." Moonlight pulled away and looked at him. "Well, it's true. If I wanted to I could stare at your eyes all day long. I have never met anyone with eyes like yours." Discord sighed. "You flatter me you pretty little thing." Moonlight smiled. "Believe me I could go on and on about how amazing you are." Discord's eyes widened. "Wow, I'm that good huh?" Moonlight nodded. "Your better then good, your perfect." Discord smiled. "How long are you going to talk about just me? You haven't said anything about how amazing you are!" Moonlight shrugged. "I'm not that amazing........am I?" Discord began to curl himself around Moonlight. "Yes you are, you say you could go on and on about me, I could go even further on about you. The only thing is there is no word in the world to describe someone like you. And in a few days you will be able to prove it when you go against Luna and Celestia." Moonlight sighed. "I can't wait." Discord got closer to her. "What's wrong?" Moonlight bit her lip. "I'm a little nervous. Yes I helped Dark Chaos, yes I defeated Nightmare Moon and Solar Flare, but there were some things I couldn't stop. Like when Luna and Celestia turned you to stone. I couldn't stop Dark Chaos until she had hurt me and you. I couldn't stop Ink Illustration unless I agreed to marry him. Discord sometimes they scare me. Every time I thought you didn't love me, or didn't need me I hurt you. And every time it was you in the end that did everything. If you hadn't helped me I wouldn't have defeated Nightmare Moon and Solar Flare, Dark Chaos would be haunting me for the rest of my life, and I would be married to Ink Illustration. That's not perfect Discord, what you did saved everything. I can't face Luna and Celestia knowing that they could do anything to you. I can't let them hurt you because of what I did." Moonlight felt tears stream down her face. "I'm the one who took you away from Dark Chaos, I'm the one who suggested we turn Celestia and Luna into Solar Flare and Dark Chaos. I'm the one Ink Illustration wanted so he threatened to hurt you because he knew I cared about you." Discord was surprised. She was tearing herself apart about the things she had done and considering everything her fault. He was going to end this, he knew what she saw in him, now she was going to see what he saw in her. He brought her up to his face. "Moonlight, look at me." Moonlight looked up at him with her tear stained eyes. "Do you trust me my dear?" Discord asked in a calm voice. Moonlight sighed. "Yes, I trust you." Discord smiled. "Good, just look at me for a moment." Moonlight stared at him. She watched as his eyes began to grow very swirly, and full of colors. He caressed her face. She knew what he was doing but continued  to stare into his eyes. Discord continued to use his magic to hypnotize her. Soon her eyes matched his, when Discord saw this he smiled. "That's it. Just relax....." Moonlight began to feel very drowsy. She groaned for a moment. Discord watched as her eyes slowly closed. She began to fall asleep in Discord's arms. "Discord.......what are you........doing?" But Discord didn't answer. He let the spell begin to take full effect on her. Putting her into a deep trance.  She's right. I really do have amazing eyes. "Shhh. Don't talk, just keep your eyes shut." Discord told her. He started stroking her mane. "Listen to me my dear, I love everything about you, all the decisions you made were the right ones. It wasn't your fault Dark Chaos became who she was, it was mine because I didn't love her. I loved you, and if you hadn't left when she tried to split us apart I wouldn't have realized that you would do anything to make me happy. You were willing to let Dark Chaos be with me just to make her happy. And when Celestia and Luna turned me to stone you are so willing to do anything I say. I told you not to let them see you, and you did exactly that. I know you love me, And I know you see more beauty in me then anyone else. I want you to see what you mean to me. You have proven your loyalty to me more then once my sweet. You respect me, and admire me. That is perfect my dearest, that is more then anyone could ever give to me. You have never doubted me........" Moonlight shook her head. "Yes I have......." Discord put his paw over her mouth. "No you haven't. You are perfect my dear, you are willing to let me do anything to you, seeing me happy is better to you then your own happiness, you always do exactly what I tell you to do no matter how strange it seems, and you care about me enough to tell me what you see in me, instead of trying to see what's in yourself. I have never been more happy to know someone like you loves me, and I am very proud to be your husband, my queen." Moonlight's eyes tried to open her eyes but Discord's magic was keeping them closed. "YOUR queen?" Discord nodded. "Yes, you are my Queen of Chaos." He gently leaned towards her and kissed her. "Remember that, nopony is going to take you away from me, nopony is going to hurt you. I promise darling." Moonlight felt Discord gently caress her face. His touch was so gentle that Moonlight couldn't help but stay still as Discord continued to run his paw through her mane and caress her face.  Luna had seen the whole thing. "Did she just let him use magic on her? She wasn't resisting him at all! She even knew he was using magic!" Nightmare Moon nodded. "Were you not listening? Yes! And I must say I enjoyed every moment of this. It was very interesting, usually Moonlight doesn't act like that. Discord is good......." Luna was trying to take in what she had just seen. "Too good if you ask me, he knows how to persuade ponies like that...." Then it hit her. "Moonlight is Discord's weakness......" Nightmare Moon glared at her. "What?" Luna was shocked. "I need to go." Luna quickly vanished. Just before she left, she quickly skimmed through some of Discord's memories and sure enough, most of them involved Moonlight Chaos.

Luna slowly flew out of Discord's room, she could not believe what she had seen. It was unbelievable, she needed to tell Celestia. She looked outside it was the middle of the night, she had been spying on them for almost three hours! She slowly walked into her room and shut the door. Celestia was asleep, she walked over to her sisters bed and gently shook her. "Celestia, get up now!" She whispered. Celestia slowly opened her eyes. "Luna......What is it?" Luna had a look in her eyes that made Celestia feel worried. "Luna, what is it?" Luna stared at her sister for a moment. "I did it Celestia. And thankfully I wasn't caught." Celestia's eyes widened. "What did you see?" Luna sighed. "Celestia, I saw a lot of what you told me. But....." Luna stopped, if she told Celestia she would be shocked. "Luna, please tell me." Celestia begged. Luna glared at the floor. "He used magic on her this time." Celestia gasped. "What was happening?" Luna slowly let everything slip out. "At first they were just talking, but then Discord began to go on and on about how special she was to him. But when he asked her about when she was going to face us, she looked worried. Then Moonlight Chaos began to talk about things that had happened in the past, she was so sure that we were here because of the mistakes she made. Then Discord used magic on her, it wasn't like one of his games. It was different, she knew he was going to use magic Celestia. He even asked her if she trusted him. She let him use magic on her, then he said things I would never have imagined to come out of his mouth." Celestia was surprised. "What was it he said?" Luna clenched her teeth. "He loves her Celestia. He said so many times, he kept telling her that everything she did, was right. She listens to him no matter what he says, she's more then willing to let him use magic on her, she does whatever he tells her to do. Celestia, this is not a trick. He loves her, she can see more in him then even I can see in my night. She is not under a spell."  Celestia was shocked. But an idea hit her. "Luna, we don't have to win." Luna turned to Celestia. "What! I must not have heard correctly, say that again?" Celestia began to brighten up. "Luna the only game we have to win is the one against Discord and Moonlight, even if we lost all the other games. If we win, Discord can either use his magic for good or...........he can go back to stone." Luna shook her head. "You know he is not going to change, especially when she will keep from from changing. You still don't get it. She loves who he is now, I've looked through some memories. She doesn't want him to change." Celestia wrapped her wing around her sister. "You know we have to win, restoring Harmony is what we need to do. Discord made his choice, if he really wants to be with her........if we win then he will have to change his ways. Or he can risk losing her." Luna sighed. "But what if we lose?" Celestia sighed. "We just have to do the best we can, thank you for doing this." Luna nodded and slowly got into her bed. Celestia was still trying to take this all in. Chaos really did have a queen, disharmony did have a wife, discord really did have a bride. My Queen of Chaos My Queen of Chaos My Queen of Chaos My Queen of Chaos The words whispered in her mind. This was beginning to haunt her. What was she missing? How far was Discord going to go to show how much he cared about one mare? She tried not to think about it, they would have to face Moonlight's friends at noon tomorrow.
