chaosly laughter

Discord tapped his finger impatiently against the sofa. When was she coming down to tell him yes or no?

Suddenly he heard two sets of hoove steps coming down the stairs. He jerked his head up to see Celestia and Pinkie coming down the stairs.

Celestia gracefully sat down at the couch and Pinkie sat next to her.

"I-I'm sorry for rushing away I was nervous." Pinkie said her tone a little robotic.

"That's fine but ummm." Discord said folding his hands. "I-I still don't really have an answer."

"Yes I will marry you."

A wide grin spread across his face. "That's great! You and your family can move in right away!"

"Step family." Pinkie corrected her voice returning to its normal state.

"Oh um you and your STEP

family can move in right away, just as soon as you have your bags packed."

Celestia smiled. "Yes we will be there in maybe two or three hours, we have a lot of bags to pack."

"Of course!" Discord exclaimed. "I'll send the royal carriage to pick you up."

Rarity squealed. "We get to ride in THE royal carriage?"

Discord nodded.

"Eeeeeeeeee!!! Ohmygosh!!!! This is amazing! Im going to go pack my bags RIGHT NOW!" Rarity exclaimed rushing up the stairs.

Discord chuckled. "I'll see you later Pinkie Pie."

Pinkie nodded before Discord teleported away.

She shook her head ferociously. "How could you make me do that!"

Celestia ignored her question. "Go pack your bags."

"No!" Pinkie shouted stomping her hoof down. "I'm not going! I'll run away!"

"Pinkamena I cast a spell on you to say yes to the prince, what makes you think I can't cast a spell to make you pack your bags?" She said calmly.

"I-you." Pinkie stuttered. She was right what WAS keeping her from doing any of that?

"So do us all a favor and do it on your own free will."

"No." Pinkie said defiantly.

Celestia sighed. "Well then you asked for it."

Pinkie yelped as Celestias horn started glowing. Celestia slowly approached her, wrapping her In her magic.

Pinkie screamed as she was encased in magic but her screams were muffled by the thick layer of magic.

"From now on you WILL be obedient and listen to peverything.I.say." Celestia said finishing casting her spell.

Pinkie winced as she was released from the magic dropping to the floor with a thud.

"Now pack your bags." Celestia said turning away.

Pinkie tried to force herself to stay but she felt her legs moving towards the stairs. Her movements were mechanical as she began to pack what little she had.

She felt tears in her eyes as she packed away the party cannon her parents had given her. After finishing packing everything she stood in the middle of the room.

"Can I move now?" She questioned attempting to mover her hoof.

Slowly she put one hoof in front of the other until she was convinced she had control over her body. She walks towards her pet alligator who slowly blinked.

A small smile formed its way on her face. "Hey gummy guess what? We're living in a castle."

"She said yes?" Luna asked raising an eyebrow.

"She did! Oh I can't believe she said yes!" Discord exclaimed doing a flip in mid air.

"You seem quite excited considering you said she's merely a friend."

Discord stopped mid flip and glared at the moon princess. "Well yes Luna but imagine if you were in my position."

Luna rolled her eyes. "This again Discord? When they see that you've befriended a pony outside the royals they'll see you've changed."

Discord remained upside down in the air. "Meh."

Luna used her magic to brig him to the ground. "Discord when is she going to be here?"

"In abbooouutttt..." Discord said looking at his watch. "A-an hour! Oh sweet Luna! We need to get stuff done!"

Luna raised a hoof. "Discord calm down! You have chaos magic remember? You can magically poof everything up."

"Your right!" Discord said snapping his fingers. "There we go, were done."

Luna blinked. "You aren't even going to go check?"

Discord summoned a pair of shades and put them on. "Nah it's cool."

Luna shook her head. "Ugh, I'll tell Twilight I'm sure she'll want to meet her."

Discord groaned. "Ugh does Princess Prissy have to be there."

Luna glared at him. "Discord! Don't say that! She's nice to you."

Discord ignored her remark. "She takes things to seriously."

"You ate her books."

"So? I gave them back."

"You ate her owl."

"It wasn't actually the owl."

"You turned her horn into cotton candy."

"It tasted good."

Luna sighed. "Whatever Discord, I'll meet you in the main entrance to welcome your new bride."

"Mmhmmm go ahead." Discord said summoning a cotton candy bouquet.

Luna walked out the door leaving Discord alone, a feeling he knew too well. But not anymore soon he would have some pony to be with him. And he couldn't wait for her to get here.

"Ow!" Pinkie exclaimed as Rarity pulled the hairbrush through her mane.

"It's not my fault! Your mane has a mind of its own!" Rarity growled pulling the brush back.

"Why are you brushing my mane anyway?" Pinkie questioned.

"Mom says you need to look good."

"Figures." Pinkie grumbled.

"Hey Rarity." Fluttershy said flying in.

"Hey Flutters did you bring what I told you?" Rarity asked setting the brush down.

Fluttershy nodded and pulled a blue dress of her back. "Here's the dress."

Rarity took it from her and held it up in her magic. "Perfect. Here Pinkamena put this on."

Pinkie cautiously took the blue dress. It was beautiful blue dress that sparkles like the night sky. "It's beautiful." She said in awe.

"Thank you it was a design I had been working on for a while and this seemed like the perfect occasion for it."

Pinkie gently set the dress down. "Wait you did this on your own free will? Step mother didn't make you do this?"

Rarity nodded. "I figured If if the price chose you, you must have been something special. But don't read to much into it I still think I should be the one wearing the dress."

"Rarity thank you." Pinkie said her voice barely audible.

"Yes well thank me by trying it on we have about an hour before the royal carriage gets here."

Pinkie took the dress in her hooves and retreated to the dressing room to change.

______________________________

Upstairs Celestia rubbed turquoise dye into her mane and smirked at her reflection, She looked good with a turquoise mane. She took the baby blue dye and worked it over her white coat making sure to leave no white spot uncovered. If she was to live in the castle she would need to change her appearance but not for the reason one would think. She remembered the day like it was yesterday though it had been many moons before.

Blah. She thought bitterly and she rubbed the dye over her cutie mark. Soon. Soon I will give her what she deserves.

She took a paint brush and carefully painted a quill over her flank, giving the appearance of a quill cutiemark. Hmmmm a new name. What shall it be? Turquoise point? Nah too plain. How aaaabbboouuuuuttt turquoise quill? Yes that's it, I'm turquoise quill a simple unicorn who received her cutiemark for writing. A perfect disguise hopefully enough to fool HER.

She took a pair of scissors and quickly cut off a long portion of her mane, leaving a small bob of mane much like the modern mane styles. She did the same to her tail leaving a straight short tail in place of her long flowing one. She looked in the mirror and saw an unfamiliar form looking back. She really looked like a different pony. The only thing wrong was her wings and horn. She could not be an alicorn and go undirected. She slipped into her casual day dress and tucked her wings in. She looked in the mirror again and frowned. There was a bulge were her wings were in the dress and it was obvious she was trying to hide them. She levitated a bow and used her magic to permanently sow it over the middle of the dress. The bow did a nice job of covering the bulge and added a sophisticated flare to the casual dress. Rarity had been sceptic when she asked her to restore the dress for a unicorn but simply said she did not wish to make the ponies in the castle intimidated. The only problem was her tallness but even that could be fixed with an appearance spell. She used her magic to shrink down to a regular ponies size keeping in check the length of her horn. Sure she could have done the same instead of going through the trouble of dying her fur and mane but one could never be too careful. Who knows? Some pony could easily see through her shortness spell.

Satisfied with her looks she trotted down stairs and startled the very unaware Rarity.

"Gah! A burglar! MOTHER!" Rarity screamed in panic and used her magic to throw a vase at Celestia who used her magic to knock it to the side.

"Calm down Rarity." She scoffed. "I decided to change my look before going to the castle. You like?"

"M-mother?" Rarity questioned a look of recognition crossing her face.

"Yes I see you've arranged your self nicely." Celestia said taking in her clothing. She wore a purple dress with diamonds incrusted into the fabric.

"It's a change but not half as much as your appearance, but I must say the turquoise compliments the blue quite nicely. My one complaint is the bow is a bit big." Rarity said frowning at the bow tied around the dress.

Celestia shrugged. "I like big bows."

"And is it me or are you shorter?"

"It's you."

A door swung open and Celestia and Rarity turned their heads to the noise. Pinkie walked out of the dressing room shyly, her glass slippers clacking on the tile floor.

Rarity gasped. "Pinkie Pie you look beautiful."

"Thanks Rarity, but um who's this." Pinkie Pie asked looking at the blue mare.

"Take a wild guess." Celestia said Striking a pose.

"S-step mother?" She stuttered recognizing her voice.

"Ding ding ding! We have a winner." Celestia said her voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Y-your blue!" Pinkie exclaimed in shock.

"And your stating the obvious." Celestia said rolling her eyes.

Pinkie eyes dulled when she remembered what Celestia had done. She frowned and looked at the ground silently cursing herself for forgetting momentarily.

Rarity darted her eyes towards the clock then to the door. "Guys we have half an hour before the carriage gets here."

Celestia briefly glanced at Rarity and Pinkie. "Your both dressed acceptable where's Fluttershy?"

"She's gathering her animals." Rarity said floating down multiple suitcases from her bedroom.

Celestia groaned and face hoofed. "How are we going to fit them all in the carriage? That and she's going to get dirty."

Rarity scrunched her mussel. "Ugh dirt."

Pinkie rolled her eyes and glanced towards the stairs. "I have to go get my suit cases."

Celestia waved her off. "I'm pretty sure Rarity floated everything down."

Rarity let out a sudden loud laugh. "Are you kidding? These are only half of my suit cases!"

Pinkie dropped her mouth and counted the suit cases. There were 10!

"Never mind, Pinkamena go get the suit cases."

"Nice job soarin! We really went at least 20% faster than before!" Rainbow dash exclaimed wiping a bead of sweat from her forehead.

"Oh yea! But you gotta admit I totally whooped you flank!" Soarin bragged stretching out his wings.

"Ha you wish! I totally kicked YOUR plot!" Rainbow dash said poking him with her hoof.

"Nah I think I won." Soarin said chugging on his bottled water.

Rainbow dash rolled her eyes. "Whatever we should take of our wonderbolt costumes don't want to get em dirty."

"Whys that?" Soarin questioned raising an eyebrow.

"Well apparently the prince found a bride or something like that and were performing there."

"When?"

Rainbow dash glanced at her watch and gulped. "In five minutes."
