chaosly laughter

Pinkie laid on her bed staring at the ceiling. A smile spread across her face as she thought of last nights events. It was totally worth the hours of chores she was undoubtably going to receive. She stood up and pushed open a window letting the cold morning air in. She brushed her hair and tied her hair back into a ponytail. She let it fall over her shoulders as she pulled on her maid dress. She walked in the kitchen and prepared breakfast like she did everyday.

About an hour and a half later Rarity groggily came down the stairs, her pink fluffy robe trailing behind her.

"Good morning!" Pinkie chipped serving her a bowl of potato soup.

"What's good about it?" She snapped sitting down and levitating a spoon with her magic.

"Potato soup?" Pinkie said filling a bowl of her own.

Rarity shot her a dirty look and continued to eat. A few minutes later Fluttershy came down followed by Celestia. They sat down and served themselves a bowl of the soup.

Pinkie took her own bowl up to her room not minding they're bitter attitudes. She happily ate her soup while thinking of the castle she would probably never visit again. She laughed a little as she remembered the crazy moves she and Discord had danced. He would have made a good friend if she could have hung out with him for longer. She thought of how he understood the pain of losing their family.

She felt a twang in her heart as she remembered what had happened. She was just a filly around the age of nine. It had been a year since her mother had died and a month since her father remarried the alicorn. She had been very kind to her and her sisters and it seemed like she loved him. They were on a carriage ride to visit the castle for the first time. They had been laughing together, her father and her sisters. They were all smiling even Maud. All of a sudden the carriage lurched to the left slamming them into the carriage. The wheel splintered and the carriage crashed.

A knock at the door snapped her out of her thoughts. That's funny no one knocked they all just barged in. She peered through the lock and gasped at what she saw. It was Discord.

Back at the castle Twilight stared at Luna her mouth agape.

"W-what did you say?" Twilight stuttered.

"I said Discord has found a bride." Luna said adjusting her crown.

"I-is that what the ball was for?" Twilight asked her eyes wide with shock.

Luna nodded. "That was the initial plan yes and it seems it worked well."

"What's her name?" Twilight asked, her shock changing to curiosity.

"Her name is Pinkie Pie I believe."

"Is she a unicorn?"

Luna shook her head. "From what Discord said she's an earth pony."

"Oh. Are they getting married right away?" Twilight questioned. She couldn't imagine Discord getting married.

Luna shrugged. "Well I don't know if she's even accepted but it depends on the type of mare she is."

"Meaning?"

"Meaning whether she wants to rush into marriage or if she wants to date for a while."

"Oh. So if she accepts when do you think she'll come to the castle?" Twilight asked wondering about the new mare.

"Today."

Discord arrived at the Celestial estate and nervously knocked on the door.

"I'm coming!" A voice shouted.

He heard hoof steps and the door swung open. It wasn't Pinkie Pie it was a white pony with a purple mane. Her mane was curled up in the ends and she wore blue eyeshadow.

"P-prince Discord?!?" She stuttered her eyes wide in disbelief.

Discord nodded. "May I come in?"

She nodded quickly. "Y-yes come right in i'll go get mother."

He walked in and sat down on the couch in the living room. He watched her scramble up the stairs and disappear into one of the doors.

"What do you mean Prince Discord is here?" Celestia demanded looking at something out of the corner of her eye.

"I mean he's here!" Rarity exclaimed.

"W-what does he want?" Celestia stuttered.

"I have absolutely no idea! He asked to come in and now he's sitting on.our.couch." Rarity said breathing dramatically.

"Ok I'll be in right down, just tell him I'll be right down. Also try an see why he's here. But be SUBTLE."

Rarity nodded and ran out the door. Celestia waited until she hears her hoof steps going down the stairs before she pulled the box out of its hiding place. She opened it and smiled at what was in it. It was the elements of harmony, the most powerful tools in equestria. She glanced at the one in the middle, magic. If Discord was here there was s chance Luna had figured out it was she who had stolen then. But if that was the reason she was going deny anything and everything. But in case he wasn't she needed a disguise. She slipped on a casual day dress, careful to tuck her wings out of sight. Even Discord who made no sense would question an alicorn.

She inhaled and walked out the door and down the stairs where Rarity was talking nervously.

"So the ball was delightful! I had quite an amazing time, I must say the food was excellent." Rarity said rush fully. The nervousness obvious in her tone.

Celestia rolled her eyes and sat in the couch next to her. "Hello Prince Discord. How lovely to have you in our humble adobe."

"Hello." He said politely. "I have come to speak with you about a rather important matter."

Rats! Celestia thought. He is here about the box!

"I ummmm.... Recently met a mare that lives with you." Discord said awkwardly rubbing the back of his head.

Celestia narrowed her eyes in confusion. "Pardon?"

"You see I'm looking for a bride and the mare I met seems to live here with you. A-and I'm here to-to ask for her hoof in marriage." Discord stuttered nervously.

Rarity's eyes widened. "Why Prince Discord! I'm flattered!"

Discord shook his head quickly. "No pardon me it's not you."

Rarity's smile faltered. "Oh I assume it to be Fluttershy then?"

He shook his head again. "No it was Pinkie Pie."

"P-Pinkie Pie?!?" Celestia and Rarity exclaimed they're eyes wide with shock and disbelief.

Discord nodded. "Yes while we just met I hope to get to know her better before continuing on with marriage."

"Are you sure you weren't mistaken and heard her name wrong?" Celestia questioned.

"No the pony I met was loud and energetic. I'm sure I have the name right."

Celestia stood. "Very well, I will go and get her."

"Wait! Um would you mind If I went to go ask her, I want her to hear it from me." Discord said nervously.

Celestia nodded. "Go ahead I'll show you her room."

She walked up the stairs with Discord following close behind. She led him down the hall to a door that looked old and brittle.

"It's this door." She said pointing at the old door.

"Ok. Umm would you mind?" Discord said gesturing towards the door.

"No just come down when you get your answer if you wouldn't mind." Celestia said turning and walking away.

Discord raised his claw to knock on the door. He knocked softly and wasn't long before he heard hoof steps. The door slowly creaked open and he smiled at who it was. It was Pinkie Pie who looked as happy as ever. The only difference was her outfit. She wore a brown maids outfit with blue sleeves. Nothing like her cheerful dress from the ball.

"D-Discord?" She asked. Se didn't think she would ever see him again.

"H-Hello Pinkie Pie." He stuttered nervous at was he was going to do.

"What are you doing here?"

"I uh came to say hello!" Discord said quickly tucking the ring in his pocket.

"Oh uh hello?" Pinkie said confused.

Discord hung his head. "Well I came to ask you something."

"What?"

"Uh come with me I want to do it in front of your family."

"He WHAT?!?" Fluttershy exclaimed.

"He's proposing to her! Can you believe it?" Rarity exclaimed in disgust.

"B-but why HER?"

"I have absolutely no idea!"

"Girls!" Celestia scolded. "If you say ANYTHING like this around the prince you'll be sleeping with the rats."

"But mother!" Rarity whined. "Why would he want to marry HER?"

"That is of no concern to us." She said coldly. "What we need to do is work this to our advantage."

"How do we do that?" Fluttershy questioned.

"She goes to live in the castle we follow simple as that."

"I suppose so.."

"Shhhhh they're coming!" Rarity exclaimed.

Pinkie walked down the steps with Discord. Discord looked extremely nervous and Pinkie just looked confused. Rarity and Fluttershy exchanged a glance while Celestia calmly looked on.

At the end of the stairs Discord gulped and turned to Pinkie. "So Pinkie Pie I know we just met and all but I wanted to ask you a question."

"Ok?" Pinkie said still unsure of what was happening.

"You see I'm looking for a.... Companion and while we're merely friends I was wondering." He said pulling out his ring.

"W-will you marry me?" Discord asked.

Pinkie gasped and covered her mouth with her hooves. "I-I don't know what to say!"

"Say yes?" Discord said nervously laughing.

Pinkie shook her head. "I can't." She rushed up the stairs and into her room making the old door slam loudly.

"Oh." Discord sighed and hung his head. "I should have known."

"Um now now, she was probably just shy! You see Pinkie has never really had a colt friend, I'll go talk to her." Celestia said teleporting into Pinkies bedroom.

______________________________

Pinkie yelped as a flash of light nearly blinded her. She blinked to see clearly and cowered when she saw who it was.

Celestia glared at her. "How could you say no?"

Pinkie hung her head. "I-I've only met him once. We're just friends."

She scoffed. "So what? He's a prince he could have given you anything! More importantly he could have given US everything."

"But I don't love him!"

Celestia stomped her hoof. "That doesn't matter! Your GOING to marry him!"

"No I'm not!" Pinkie screamed. "You can't make me!"

"Oh my dear at this your wrong." Celestia smirked her horn glowing. "I can make you."

Pinkie backed into the wall as Celestias horn glowed brighter.

"Your going to marry him whether you like it or not."
