The minute Discord teleported into the new large knights-at-the-round-table themed throne room, he knew where Twilight Sparkle was. Up in her new library reading, she was a book worm after all. As Discord walked to the library, he could hear rustling and books ranging from leather-back to hard-back hitting the wooden floor. "Is anyone here?" Discord asked as he glanced into the various rooms in that single hallway. Soon Discord reached the door and the source of noise behind it, he knocked on it, "Oh yoooohoooo! Princess Twwwwwiiiiillllght! Are you in there?"

"D-Discord? W-What are you doing here THIS early in the morning!" was Twilight's response.

Discord entered the room and was surprised to see the huge library a mess. Books were askew and tossed aside as Twilight read the books briefly and tossed them behind her, "No...no...NO! URRRRGH!!!" she groaned.

"What's the matter? Is the Princess of Friendship having trouble with her books?" Discord asked smugly, "That's a new for you, 'Princess.'"

Twilight at this point had her ears back, a clear sign that she was at her breaking point, "What do you want Discord? I don't have time, I have a date with Flash Sentry today and I've never been on a date, so I need to know the protocols...and so far, NONE of these books are giving me a solid answer!"

Discord laughed, "You think you can learn about dating from a book?"

Twilight glared at him, "You can learn a lot from books!

"Okay okay, you're right...but I need you to answer a question for me!" Discord proclaimed.

"Okay...?"

Discord frowned, "Okay, here it goes...I have a crush on Celestia..."

Twilight giggled, "I know, she told me that..."

"What?" Discord exclaimed.

"She told me about your little crush about her, plus it's very obvious!"

Discord blushed, "It was not THAT obvious!"

Twilight narrowed her eyes, "Um...you gave her a bouquet of flowers the day I gained my title..."

"T-Those were only to apologize!"

"Uh huh, yeah, sure..." Twilight smirked.

Discord sighed, "Anyways," he found it hard to speak now, "I...I also have a crush on some other mare..."

Twilight kept looking at the books in front of her and kept tossing them aside, "Does this pony know you?"

"Yes she does...you know her too..." said Discord.

"Oh I do? Who is it?"

"Fluttershy..."

Twilight froze, and in the process dropped all of the book she was holding with a thud, "What? If this is a joke, it isn't funny Discord!"

Discord swallowed the lump in his throat that had been stuck there for the time he had been there, "I-It's not a joke...Twilight..."

Twilight turned to face the God of Chaos, knowing he was serious by the fact he didn't call her by her title, let alone the Princess title. Twilight was silent for a moment before asking, "And you are asking me who you should pursue? Celestia or Fluttershy?"

Discord nodded, looking at the floor nervous to know the answer.

Twilight sighed, "I can't tell you who you should love, it should be your choice..."

"Well you were no help! I'm going to Rainbow Dash! Maybe she will be blunt enough!" Discord then teleported away.

Twilight rolled her eyes and continued to browse her beloved books.

It did not take long for Discord to find Rainbow Dash at all. Rainbow Dash was not in Cloudsdale, she was at Sugarcube corner with Pinkie Pie and Rarity to just hang out and remember the golden years before Twilight became a Princess.

Discord went up to them, "There you are Rainbow Dash! I have been looking all through Equestria to find you!"

Rainbow Dash glanced over at him and groaned, "Can't I catch at least one day without you bugging me Discord?" she muttered.

"Why Rainbow Dash! Show some manners!" Rarity exclaimed.

"Oh I have manners! What I don't have is time to deal with Discord's nonsense!"

Rarity rolled her eyes, "I'm sure you do...Now Discord-"

Suddenly, a bell went off. Everypony knew what that meant, they heard Pinkie Pie shout two words.

"CUPCAKE FIGHT!"

Discord was then confused, "Cupcake fight?"

"It's somepony's birthday, and they requested a cupcake fight!" Dash explained, "And the ponies at Sugar Cube Corner can't say no to a pony on their birthday!"

"Ooh sounds like fun!" Discord exclaimed.

Rarity stood up, "Well I'm out of here! I don't want sticky frosting in my mane!"

"Aw come on Rares! Where is your sense of fun, huh?"

Before Rarity could reply, cupcakes started to soar in the air hitting most of their targets, namely Rarity herself.

Discord ducked most of the cupcakes, and even poofed up a pink umbrella. "Well, I can see everypony is busy so I'll just go to Applejack! She's the most honest anyway!" he then teleported away.

"Celestia-darnit! Big Mac! Have you see the apple masher? Granny Smith's making Zap Apple Jam now!" Discord heard the Element of Honesty shout at the top of her lungs.

Discord then heard her brother say, "Nope..."

Looking on the ground beside him, he saw the tiny mallet only used to mash Zap Apple into a lumpy mush to boil and add ingredients and do the steps as needed. Discord picked it up, "Applejack? Looking for this?"

Applejack looked over at Discord and sighed in relief at the sight of the object, "Eeyup! Why don't ya jus' hand it over now please?" she asked as she pointed to the trees that were now filled with rainbow apples, "Those Zap Apples will be gone in a few minutes and we still don't have enough!"

"Hold on Applejack, I need you to answer a question!" Discord told her, keeping the object out of the sunset orange pony's grasp.

Applejack began to grow annoyed, "Well maybe I'll answer if you give me that frickin' thing!"

"Why Applejack! I'm appalled by your language! Do you kiss Caramel with that mouth?"

"Shuddap!" Applejack shouted, "I'm on a tight schedule as it is Discord!"

Discord smiled, "Then answer my question!"

"Fine! But make it quick!"

"Okay...so who do you think I should ask out? Fluttershy? Or Celestia?" Discord asked.

Discord expected the southern Earth Pony to completely freeze in shock, or tackle him and beat him to a pulp. But she didn't. In fact, Applejack just shrugged it off like it was nothing. "Well I'll give you a real easy answer, Fluttershy..."

"You seem very calm about this, why aren't you blowing up like Twilight did?" Discord asked.

Applejack was now walking to the barn to hand her elderly grandmother the apple masher, "Because I have been anticipatin' this question since the day you were reformed..."she handed Granny Smith the tool and walked back out, "Honestly, I don't know why you didn't get together sooner."

"Really?"

"Yep, Celestia won't go for a God who's sole purpose is to cause chaos and disharmony...she's too uptight that way..."

Discord merely nodded, "I see..."

"Plus Fluttershy seems to favor ya and look up to ya!" Applejack told him, "I can't really see why, but answer me this..." she narrowed her eyes. "Promise not only me, but the rest of the Elements that if ya do make that choice...take good care of her...and if ya don't...it's back to stone for you...I know we don't have the Elements with us...we'll use Rainbow Power..."

Discord smiled nervously and said, "I-I promise...I-I Pinkie Promise..." he crossed his heart and stuck a green apple cupcake in his eye.

"Good, now I believe you have feelins' to confess!"

With that, Discord teleported back to Fluttershy's cottage and began to plot...the perfect way to confess...
