Relationships and Talks With a God

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

The kiss of the magician was a surprise to Mal, however he adapted fast and returned her kiss. He honestly thought Moon would be the first to take advantage of his ok with polygamy. He managed to lift her up so she was on the table. As soon as they ended it he smiled. "Well I can now say I was kissed by a cute witch." He said. Trixie blushed.

"You think I'm cute?" She asked. Mal gave her another smile.

"Yes I do." Trixie gave him a kiss as the two of them had their tongues in each other’s mouths, the kiss getting deeper and deeper, before reluctantly pulling away from each other.

"So, I gotta say, I'm impressed you got to me before Moon did." Trixie giggled and Mal smiled at the pleasant sound of it.

"It wasn't that hard. She's a little distracted by the newest member of our group."

Mal chuckled at this piece of information. "Yeah, that does sound like Moon. That girl is flirty as hell. So, is there anything you wanted other than that kiss?" Mal asked, not realizing the implications of the question.

"Slow down there boy. Trixie isn't as easy as that." Trixie said patting Mal's cheek. "Even for a man such as yourself. But if you're good Trixie might let you cuddle with her."

"I think I could live with that. I have been curious if you sleep in the hat and cape." Mal replied with a smirk.

Trixie blushed. "Sometimes Trixie does." She said. The two stayed like that for a few moments with Trixie burying her head in Mal’s chest with his arms around her. "Trixie wishes she could be in your arms forever." She said. A sudden stab of sadness shot though her. Mal looked at the girl in his arms.

"Trixie, what do you mean?" He had a feeling he wasn’t going to like this.

"Trixie was a unicorn, she can't live forever like Moon or Sunset can with you. Eventually, Trixie will get old and die, while the rest of you will hardly change." Trixie had a tear roll down her cheek.

Mal felt extremely bad, there had to be a way to give her what she wanted. 'I really wish I knew a way to let her be with me forever.' He thought. He came across several ways looking through his mind. He was goofy but for good reason, he was smart and Malthael still held wisdom like from the games. "Don't worry Trixie I'll find a way, I'm death and I will not see you die." He promised. Trixie looked at him.

"Thank you." She gave him a kiss. A few moments later Trixie had left, leaving Mal alone.

Suddenly a flash of light was seen, he was staring at Discord, who was somewhat confused. "Discord!" Mal screamed. Discord turned to him.

"Mal... What is this place?" He asked. Honestly Discord was heading to do something funny when he was suddenly thrown into a pocket dimension within two pocket dimensions.

"This is my home." Mal said. Discord tapped the walls.

"Most amazing this room’s a pocket dimension within a bigger pocket dimension within a bigger pocket dimension all within an object smaller than the compared size of the object, no wonder why I smashed into this, my teleportation was pretty general in location." He did a few more tests.

'Pocket dimension with a pocket dimension? Damn it there's another joke I could make here!' "So Discord, did you want to stay for a while? Since you're here already you might as well stay for a visit."

"Why thank you Mal, I suppose I could stay for a nightcap." Discord said stroking his beard.

"Good," Mal said, leading Discord out of the map room, "but first." He finished before punching Discord in the face, Discord's face collapsed in on itself in a cartoonish way. "That's for teleporting the girls and me without our consent." Discord pulled out his face and crossed his arms and shot him a cross look.

"Don't you think that was an overreaction?"

"No," Mal stated flatly. "An overreaction would be me attempting to pull out your soul and see what I could do with it. You earned that punch.”

"Fine, let's just go get that drink." Mal led Discord into the kitchen and pulled out a bottle of wine that some of Moon's cultists had given them and two glasses.

"Hey Discord, I know there's a whole process if we wanna be proper about this. Would you use your magic and speed that up?"

"Oh just open the bottle I'm not one for proper procedure." Mal shrugged and poured the two of them their glasses.

"By the way, drink the wine and not the glass." Mal said.

"What makes you think I'd do that?"

"You're the god of chaos, unorthodox behavior is a given."

"Touché." Discord answered, taking a sip. "So, how are you and Sunset doing?" Mal smiled a little before replying.

"We're doing great. I don't know what I'd do without that girl."

Mal then looked at Discord. "What about you? What have you done?" Discord thought for a moment.

"Well I gave a cup that turns any drink into something sweet to Pinkie Pie, honestly I'm a bit shocked I helped give rise to the Element of Laughter, no wonder why she seemed to like my rain she had a piece of me in her." Mal laughed at this. "Honestly the irony seemed almost lost on me." They took another sip of their drink. "Anyway, turns out Dashie got caught by her old friend’s father, the king of the griffins and co-ruler of Griffonia." Mal paused.

"I'm guessing they’re like alicorns for griffins?" Discord nodded.

"You’d be correct, though it’s more of a king and queen sort of deal rather than two princesses. They’re daughter became friends with Rainbow when she took a more normal Griffin form, certainly shocked them all anyway. I suspect they’ll reconcile their differences soon enough."

He gave a laugh of his own. "Oh and Tia’s going to talk to Luna about her sexual orientation, as you can guess Nightmare Moon and Luna were the same being." He finished, he gave Mal laugh. "You know as an avatar of chaos, a former ruler and a being of worship I'm basically able to conduct a marriage. I'm also certified to plan a wedding." He said holding his minotaur certification that he got while disguised as one.

"And you're telling me this because?" Mal asked, Discord handed him his card and shrugged. "I'm just saying, You, Sunset, Trixie, and Moon might want to tie the knot someday."

"Thanks I guess, but Sunset and I just agreed to give the whole polygamy thing a shot. Besides, it's not just those three anymore. We found a changeling called Chrysalis and judging by Moon's reaction to her, she might be joining this whole crazy relationship." Mal said with a smirk. Discord spat out his sip of wine all over Mal before laughing uproariously.

"You certainly are full of surprises, Mal." Mal got up and wiped the wine from his face.

"I guess you're right, but you do realize that your actions have started a war?" Mal asked before spitting wine on Discord. And thus, this started an epic wine fight that would be told for future generations.

After the whole wine fight they had a mess. Discord himself looked at the mess. "Well seeing as how I'm a guest." He snapped his talons.

The mess was gone though it had the new car smell. "Thanks I guess." Discord looked at Mal.

"Before I entered here I thought I may have heard a conversation ending, can you tell me what it was about?" Discord asked. Mal rolled his eyes.

"Question do you have some kinda awareness?" He asked, Discord thought for a moment.

"Maybe." Mal rubbed his hands though his hair.

"Ok, it’s Trixie, she’s upset because she doesn't have the eternal life thing the others have." Discord raised an eyebrow. Elsewhere a magic spell’s notes disappeared. Discord held out his hands.

"Here, these are from an old enemy Star Swirl, these may help you with that." Discord suddenly started to ring, he pulled out a clock form his mouth. "Seems I must be off." He said, he touched the air to create a portal seeing as how it was far easier.

"I owe that guy another drink." Mal said, a wild grin spreading on his face. “Now, I gotta put these notes in a safe place, tell Trixie the good news, and tomorrow the two of us can work on giving her eternal life." Mal said, walking into the study of his pocket dimension home and placing the notes Discord gave him in a folder, and walked upstairs to put on his sleepwear. He walked up to the door to Trixie's room and knocked.

"Come in," Trixie called out from the other side. Mal strode in and looked at Trixie in her purple pajamas.

"How's my lovely little witch doing?" Mal asked.

Trixie giggled and replied,"Trixie is good. So, what brings you to Trixie's room at this hour?"

"Well, I had some good news for you, and I wanted to see if the offer for cuddles was still available?" Trixie arched an eyebrow at Mal.

"What's this good news you have for Trixie?"

"Discord just stopped by and he gave me notes that may help you become immortal like me. I was thinking we could work on it. I want to keep you around for a long time Trixie." Tears welled up in Trixie's eyes and she rushed over to Mal and threw her arms around him and showered him in a flurry of kisses before planting a long, passionate one on his lips.

"Thank you so much Mal! Trixie... I love you so much." She said, nuzzling into Mal's chest. Mal ran a hand through her long, silver hair and smiled at her.

"I love you too Trixie. Does this mean I can have that cuddle?"

Trixie gave him a smile. "Trixie doesn't see why not." The blue skinned girl had a blush and with that the two cuddled and soon fell asleep.

On the sofa Chrysalis and Moon lied together, having fallen asleep. Well Chrysalis fell asleep because of over eating. The Changeling couldn't believe how good love tasted and made one feel when it came from someone who willingly gave it to her. She slightly recalled a rumor of one such changeling who found a pony who fell in love with them. However, while this had happened she soon fell asleep from it. Moon fell asleep as well, mostly in response to Chrysalis who fell asleep first. Her dreams were first, with her simply moving about the dream world. She spied Sunset’s dream. Looking into it, she saw Sunset with a baby and Mal. The next dream was Trixie’s. She had herself with alicorn wings. Finally she came across Chrysalis who was with Mal and Moon herself. Suddenly she was pulled by the current. She landed in her pony form to see Luna.

"Hello sister." Nightmare Moon started.

"Huh, hello, Moon. I have heard some rather interesting news regarding you and Malthael." Luna sighed.

"Ooh, and what kind of news would that be?"

"Discord seems to believe that you've fallen in love with him and young Sunset Shimmer." Moon let out a throaty chuckle before replying. "Oh he would be correct about that. Those two are simply intoxicating."

"Did you know that he murdered our mother and father?" Moon's air of superiority fell and all that was left was a simple mare.

"I do know that. It was hard to believe at first, and I really did want to kill him for it at first. I'm ashamed to admit that I had the odd fantasy of killing him. But, I'm over that. I never really knew our parents, but I do know Mal. Despite all the power he has, and all the suffering he's been through he's so gentle."

"When he looks at me he doesn't see Nightmare Moon the mare who almost ended Equestria with eternal night. He sees Moon, his headstrong and forward friend, and possibly lover. Mal is one of the sweetest and kindest people that I have ever known, and I love him, completely and truly. Even if he never really loves me the way I know he does Sunset, I'd follow him anywhere. Sunset was right about him. He is more than his power and title. He is a caring and selfless man, and I'd do anything for him." Moon finished tears of joy welling up in her eyes.

Luna almost had to ask herself if this was really Nightmare Moon. She recalled her not being like this. 'Her love for him changed her.' Luna thought. Now she had to talk with her about. "I have something I wish to discuss, Tia said Discord had with him a picture of you kissing Sunset, and that’s how she found out my sexual orientation." Luna said with a bit of a glare.

“How did it go?" Moon asked. Luna's eyes twitched.

"Oh she asked me which mares I found attractive." Moon gave her a look.

"You mean Twilight, Rarity, and Applejack?" She asked. Luna eye twitched again. "Well at least you didn't tell her about your little love shine to Discord." Moon finished. Luna’s eyes widened in shock.

"How do you know about that?" She demanded.

"Do we really have to go over this again?" Moon said with a roll of her eyes. "I was a part of you Luna. And apparently you fell into one of the most cliché categories of mares the, ‘I know he's bad, but if I give him love then he can change!’ crowd. I'm really glad I didn't inherit that from you. Though I guess I did a little considering how cute I find it when Sunset is difficult." Moon finished with a giggle. "Still, I'm guessing Celestia was supportive. She never was one for sexual discrimination."

"She was too supportive!" Luna boomed. "She pulled out a book detailing the more ‘intimate’ nature of mare on mare relationships and then tried to set me up on a blind date with a stallion and a mare!"

"Did you at least try to stop her?" Moon asked. Luna gave her a look.

"They only way to stop her was to fight her or look threatening, I can never do that." Luna started trying to sound regal.

"Because she sees you as a cute little sister? The only time she ever did see you as threatening was when I was in control?" Luna's bravado fell at this. "You know, you should ask Celestia about you going out with Discord, maybe that will shut her up?" Moon smiled.

Luna actually laughed for a while at this. "I'm pretty sure that would send Tia to an asylum, or she might send me to the moon again. She did hit Pinkie Pie in the face when she revealed when she was Discord's half-daughter." Moon returned the laughter at hearing this piece of news.

"I would pay to see our normally composed sister just break like that. That poor dear Pinkie probably had no idea what hit her."

"True, maybe I should try to court Discord just to see the look on Tia's face." Luna said, still smiling.

Moon smiled as well. Luna herself gave Moon a hug. "I guess you accept me as a sister?" Moon asked. Luna thought it over for a moment.

"Sure why not, I honestly think you’re kind of like my twin sibling." Luna said. The two shared a long hug before going their separate ways.

The next day Luna headed to the garden. "Now where would Discord be?" She asked.
