My Little Accident?

CHAPTER 2: ALONE ON THE THRONE

Among other things, Fluttershy was currently enjoying her day, relaxing within her home peacefully as she was preparing some snacks for both Discord and her to enjoy in their leisure time. She also took some time to admire the beauty of the nature outside her kitchen window, she momentarily sighed before baring a soft satisfied smile. She stopped what she was doing to admire the view in silence.

Twilight popped up in front of the window abruptly with a crazed expression. "FLUTTERSHY!"

"EEEEK!" Fluttershy shrieked as she immediately ducked and covered her head with both hooves, trembling.

Twilight popped into the kitchen with a spell before just lowering her head immediately towards Fluttershy with haste. "Fluttershy, where's Discord!? I need to speak to him!" She began trotting around her home, glancing around immediately, still with a rushed demeanor.

Fluttershy cautiously rose as she trembled still. "U-Um, Twilight? Are, are you okay?"

Twilight ignored the question as she looked back at Fluttershy with a brow twitch.

Fluttershy flinched before gulping once. "Um, D-Discord should be here, he's just-"

"Doooown here!" Came a tiny almost obscured voice.

Twilight blinked a bit before looking down towards the wooden floor, squinting at a tiny figure and raising a brow at it.

Discord was apparently the size of an ant. "What might this be? You need me!? Ohohoho, well, how flattering!"

Twilight focused on him intently. "This isn't a game Discord. I need your help. I've got a problem that I feel only you can fix."

Discord crossed his arms at her before suddenly in a poof of magic, he was his original size, then levitating and crossing his legs, managing to manifest a tea cup in the process. "Oh? Well, why didn't you say so? Of course of course! Anything for my dear friend Princess Twilight right? Now, what might be this dire issue hm?" He was wholly intrigued as he leaned in to listen before taking a sip from his cup.

Twilight exhaled as she glanced back at Fluttershy, then back up at Discord before closing her eyes. "Well, um-" she suddenly appeared ashamed of herself as she looked up at Discord. "First off, h-how, how are draconequus born Discord?"

Discord suddenly spit out his drink before chuckling heartily. "Oho! Well this is a surprise! And here I thought nopony cared about my life story at all besides Fluttershy! Well, not even SHE has ever asked me how I was born. It's touching really." He took another sip.

Twilight groaned as she just gave him a look of impatience. "Would you just tell me already Discord?"

Discord smirked before suddenly disappearing in a poof of smoke and reappearing on the couch. "Oh you misunderstand me Princess Twilight! Did you ever truly think we could simply be born? I'm one of a kind!" He suddenly raised his claws as an image appeared overhead, displaying a scene which put his words into visual understanding. "To clarify, my race can only be created through the power of raw magical energy. Time magic, elemental magic, dark magic, there are many different forms as you well know." He paused with a devious smirk, then snapped causing his scene to disappear. "So as you also know, the accumulation of many different forms of magic at once can have sometimes, unpredictable results. Or should I say, Chaotic ones!" He burst into laughter before pridefully rising and levitating himself. "So to cut the story short! We are born through unpredictable happenings in the magical world! Typically in areas where a mass of raw magical power is gathered at once, insinuating beautiful chaos! Quite impressive if I do say so myself!"

Fluttershy began clapping her hooves as she did appear impressed with Discord's story. "Very veeery impressive Discord."

Discord smiled at Fluttershy before closing his eyes and bowing. "Oh thaaaank you Fluttershy! Please please, I'm flattered!"

Twilight was lost in her thoughts for a moment as she just peered at Discord. "So Discord was born through chaos alone?" Twilight looked towards the ground as she sunk further into her trove of theories before coming to a realization. "That would mean Calamity is-"

Discord suddenly got in her face. "YES! And I am the ONLY one! Chaotic magic is my birthright and mine alone Princess Twilight!" He snapped his claw and appearing in his grasp was a chocolate candy bar. "So if you thought of learning my magic, I'll have to burst your curious little bubble! You do not have the natural makeup to handle such magical power on your own! Not even as an alicorn."

Twilight just remained lost, and it showed on her face. "It's not me I'm worried about."

Discord raised a brow before taking a bite out of the candy bar. "Well then who are you worried about? It certainly isn't me! Or dear Fluttershy! If you're thinking about trying to experiment with what I just told you then don't bother! It is an impossible task!"

Twilight's expression sunk further as she sulked, just giving Discord a particularly guilty look.

Discord looked at Twilight for a moment raising a brow. His look of surprise steadily melted away as he let his arms hang at his side before he suddenly appeared distraught, nervous, and even frightened with a blank expression. "Wait, don't tell me you actually did it?"

Fluttershy's expression mimicked Discord's as she looked just as worried. "D-Discord? What's wrong?"

Twilight remained silent as she didn't really know how to put it into words.

Discord shook his head as he appeared awfully insecure. "W-Where!? You couldn't have possibly done it! When!?"

Twilight muttered. "In the battle with Tirek, I, I had the magical energy of the other princesses. Tirek possessed the magic of all of my friends as well as-" she paused before giving Discord a grim look, "Yours, Discord. It was more than enough to do as you said."

Discord suddenly became infuriated as he tore at his mane. "Y-YOU! WHY YOU IRRESPONSIBLE LITTLE PONY!" He spread his arms in a wide gesture of Twilight's incompetence. "DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU'VE DONE!? I AM THE ONLY DRACOENQUUS I'VE EVER MET! ME, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH ANOTHER ONE! WHAT HAPPENS IF IT DOES WHATEVER IT WANTS!? WHAT HAPPENS IF IT'S ABLE TO OUTPERFORM EVEN ME!? I'M DISCORD! Don't you understand what this means!?"

Twilight snapped back at Discord. "Now's not the time to be blaming me for all of this Discord! Just because you're afraid you'll be outdone isn't what we should be talking about right now! Besides if it weren't for you betraying us then we wouldn't be in this mess!"

Discord flinched as he just sulked afterwords.

Fluttershy immediately flew between the two as she scolded Twilight. "T-Twilight! That was unnecessary!"

Twilight's eyes widened as she sulked as well due to her own harsh words. "S-Sorry Fluttershy." She looked up at Discord, "She's right Discord, I didn't mean it like that. Listen, I know you don't approve of what happened, neither do I, but we're both a part of this. And now that there's another one of you around, I need your help with her." Twilight lowered her head, "She's, she's a little too wild for me."

Fluttershy blinked a bit, obviously confused about all of this. "A-Another Discord?"

"Where is she?" Discord spoke with a tone lacking confidence, which surprised Fluttershy.

Twilight raised her head again at Discord. "S-She's at the castle. I already had a letter sent to Princess Celestia. She is probably on her way over here right now. But for now I'm on my own so I was hoping I could use your help." She looked on over to Fluttershy. "And yours to Fluttershy. You're the first pony to ever convince Discord to join our side. Maybe you help with another situation like that?"

Fluttershy's eyes widened. "O-Oh gosh Twilight. Another Discord? I-I, I um, I don't know. I only got lucky the first time."

Twilight approached Fluttershy, allowing her tired features to come fully into view for the pegasus. "Please Fluttershy, I really need you here. I, I don't know what else to do anymore. I bought as much time as I could, and even now I'm wasting it as Spike is left alone to fend for himself at the castle. S-She's something else!" Twilight had thick wrinkled bags beneath her eyes. "I, I really need you! So, PLEASE!"

Fluttershy just looked plainly at Twilight for another moment, and it didn't take her a second longer to put on a determined expression. "I'll do it!" Fluttershy fluttered up momentarily as she spread her hooves in confidence with a smirk. "Are you ready for this Discord!?"

Discord continued to sulk as he sluggishly made his way out of the house, muttering. "Yea, u-um, of course."

Both Twilight and Fluttershy were baffled as Fluttershy spoke with concern, raising a hoof to her muzzle. "D-Discord?"

As Twilight, Discord, and Fluttershy arrived back at the castle, before entering they all paused. The world around them was beautiful, a little too good to be true in Twilight's eyes, with clear blue skies and tweeting birds who flew around the area. It's what awaited inside that caused Twilight to hesitate as she stood there. She took in a deep breath, before looking back at Discord and Fluttershy tiredly. "Ready?"

Discord gulped, as Fluttershy nodded firmly with a determined expression.

Twilight nodded back to them, before pushing open the door hesitantly. "S-Spike?..."

Within, there were streams of confetti strewn about, hanging from every area accompanied by balloons. Sweets were plastered on the walls and furniture was destroyed. A chandelier suddenly fell from the roof and crashed to the floor, before a flock of chickens and geese ran across the main lobby down another corridor. The three just stood there with shocked expressions on their faces.

"T-Twiliiiiight?" Questioned a familiar voice.

Twilight snapped back to attention as she glanced to her lower right, and crawling towards her from a shadowed corner was Spike. He was disheveled, with makeup all over his face, in torn clothes, with a full belly and icing still covering his lips. "SPIKE!?"

Fluttershy gasped as she covered her muzzle with both hooves in horror.

Discord cringed.

Twilight rushed inside as she didn't hesitate to grab hold of Spike, obviously concerned. Tears swelled in her eyes as she looked over the baby dragon, obviously partied out as he laid there as a shell of his former self. "W-What? What happened!?"

Spike burped then just groaned heavily. "T-Too many games, t-too many defeats....I, I, I can't beat her Twilight, I'm sorry."

Twilight sniffled as she smiled. "I-It's okay, I know you tried."

"Twenty two games of tick tack toe! Fifty three games of tag! Four games of chess! Sixteen games of stare contests! Nine games of riddles! Ten eating contests! And fourteen games of hide and seek to be precise! Welcome back Momma! Ready to play now!?"

Twilight's eyes widened as she immediately glared towards the main lobby with a deep scowl. Sitting down with her legs crossed over the wreckage of the chandelier was Calamity, who still wore an innocently playful expression with both arms behind her back.

Fluttershy's now started to tremble with a frightened look. This was the first time she saw another draconequus besides Discord.

Discord just stared in awe, a little too shocked for words as well. So she wasn't kidding about there being another him now.

Twilight trotted forward, still obviously tired based on her demeanor. "No more games Calamity! You NEED to LISTEN to me!"

Calamity's eyes immediately widened in distress as she appeared troubled. "B-But, but but you said we'd keep playing until you won!" She leaned forward, obviously hurt by Twilight's words. "You promised Momma! And I know you don't break pinkie promises!"

Twilight to appeared distressed and conflicted, as she shook her head in desperation. "But that was before I knew you were too good at EVERY GAME! I can't keep this up forever Calamity! I-I need you to listen to me if we're to figure out what to do with you!"

Calamity suddenly flinched as she leaned her head back and spoke with a sinister tone. "What's that supposed to mean?"

Twilight's eyes widened again as she shook her head nervously. "N-Nothing Calamity! I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to word it like that." She paused with a sigh before glancing up at her again. "I just need you to stop playing games for right now, okay?"

Calamity leaned forward and snapped at Twilight again in distress. "YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE ME WHAT I WANT!"

Twilight just ran a hoof down her own face in sheer agony. Just the irony of knowing where Calamity got that part of her personality from is what annoyed her the most. But suddenly an idea dawned on Twilight as she smirked with confidence. "C-Calamity! I know I know, instead of playing games! H-How about, how about, WE STUDY!?" She smiled widely, nervously. Please please pleeeease work!

Calamity's eyes widened as she almost immediately burst into joyful chuckles. "Well why didn't you say so Momma!? Studying is only like one of the bazillion things I love to do! Let's study about everything! Let's stay up every night to study together forever okay!?"

Twilight's brow twitched as a look of inherent fear was practically a part of her now. She nervously backed away before commenting, "W-Why of course Calamity! We'll get to that soon enough. But FIRST! I'd like you to play a game with a new friend I've brought!"

Calamity's eyes widened curiously. "A new friend? Oh I love new friends! Who is it?" She blinked curiously, peering from atop the broken chandelier towards Twilight, awaiting this mysterious new friend to come into the light and reveal himself to her.

Twilight closed her eyes and chuckled nervously again. "O-Of course, come on in you guys!"

And hesitantly making his way inside was Discord, accompanied by Fluttershy.

Calamity's eyes widened almost immediately at the two as she tilted her head to the left.

Discord couldn't bring himself to look at the child directly for some reason.

Fluttershy smiled nervously at the draconequus. "H-Hello, um, C-Calamity? Nice to meet you. I'm-"

Calamity tilted her head to the right with a smile. "Auntie Fluttershy! Uncle Discord! HI!"

Fluttershy and Discord's eyes grew wide with surprise as they peered at the child then on in surprise.

Calamity looked at Twilight. "Momma! Why would you bring these two? Auntie Fluttershy is nice, but she can't possibly beat me in any game either!" She chuckled a bit closing her eyes before glancing over at Discord. "And Uncle Discord? He's obsolete!"

Discord's eyes widened further in reaction to those words.

Fluttershy placed both hooves on her hips as she fluttered on up. "H-HEY! THAT'S NOT TRUE!"

Twilight reacted immediately as well in Discord's defense. "Calamity! That's a horrible thing to say!"

Calamity appeared distressed again. "Why Momma!? I'm only saying the truth! Uncle Discord can't be trusted! And he's no longer the only draconequus around! He's not needed anymore! I could replace him and help you more Momma! He could never beat me!"

Discord gritted his teeth for another moment before calling out to her. "Oh? Well is that so!? Care to prove it then?"

Calamity glanced on over at Discord with an intense squint and grumpy look. "Rrrrrrrrrr...."

Discord smirked confidently as he stated. "A duel of our magic! If I win! You will listen to anything I have to say!"

Twilight's eyes widened in surprise as she smiled. "G-Good thinking Discord!" Twilight glanced on back over to Calamity nervously. Calamity is smart enough to know how crazy accepting this is. Discord has way too much experience and she knows that it'd probably be-

Calamity stared blankly at Discord and didn't hesitate to answer. "Okay!"

Discord, Fluttershy, and Twilight all froze with shock.

Calamity continued raising a claw and smiling softly in excitement. "And if I win! You and Auntie Fluttershy will listen to everything and anything I say! We will play as many games as I want, and study as much as I want! You will give me what I want!"

Discord put on a determined expression as he stared at this draconequus.

Fluttershy worriedly glanced over at Discord, not too sure about this any longer.

It took some time for Twilight to overcome her initial shock to Calamity's answer and ease her nervousness. She cleared her head, before looking at Discord worriedly. "D-Discord wait! Don't accept! There's something not right about Calamity's confi-"

Discord placed both claws on his hips and snapped a claw, suddenly manifesting gym clothes on himself. "ACCEPTED!"

Calamity smiled as she clapped both claws together in delight and smiled wide. "Yaaaay, I can't wait to play with you Uncle Discord!"

Twilight gulped as she cringed, and looked over nervously at Calamity.

While Flutteshy was just as worried before looking hesitantly towards the ground.

Calamity continued merrily. "And like with Momma! We'll all be an even bigger happy family!"
