Reliving

Celestia felt awful. She wished she had been kinder and more appreciative of Discord's kindness. But smiling seemed impossible then. And even more so now. She wished he was here again. Pulling pranks on the gaurds, bending small parts of reality. She missed their history so much, wanting to relive their carefree days. Before she carried so many secrets and burdens. She drifted off into almost forgotten times. Over 2,000 years ago.

        They had meet when Luna was so little. She could barely walk. And the blizzard. It was so cold. So awful. And then, they found him. Celestia was also very young. She could barely fly, let alone care for her sister.

       They stumbled upon him in a cave where he was tending a fire. His back was turned to her, so Celestia tried to sneak in and steal a piece of wood for a torch. But as she came closer her vision became clearer. She was just behind the fire when she saw him clearly. A gasp slipped from her mouth. He turned to see her, mouth agape, eyes wide. She had never seen anything like him. So many animals, one creature. After a moment of gawking, she remembered her manners.

       "H..H..Hello," she stammered, "I am Celestia." She bowed, as this strange creaure radiated power.  "I...Um, was wondering if, um, you would uh, let us warm, ourselves for a um, little bit? I promise it won't take long," she added.

       "Us?" he asked, "I only see you. By the way, I'm Discord." He help out his lion paw for her to shake. She reached out with her hoof hesitantly at first, then gave his paw a good shake. She suddenly felt a jolt go up her leg. She let out a help and jumped back. Discord laughed until a dark shape stumbled in front of Celestia.

      "No hurt Sissy! Luna mad at you!" she shouted angrily. Her horn glowed as she furiously threw the stones on the floor of the cave. Discord caught one easley. He snapped and the other stones disappeared.

       "Please don't hurt her," Celestia murmured. Discord looked surprised.

        "Hurt her? Why on earth would I do that? I never wanted to hurt you either. I just wanted a laugh," Discord looked apologetically at Celestia, "And you're welcome to stay as long as you wish." He flew to the entrance of the cave and picked up an huge lump of snow. He then took it to the fire, and dumped on top. The fire grew larger and warmer. Celestia didn't understand. How was that possible? Discord saw her look of disbelief and chuckled. He explained his chaotic powers, complete with demonstrations as Luna and Celestia watched in fascination.

            They spent many days together. Luna and Celestia gained more power, and Celestia grew much closer to Discord. Luna was still suspicious of him though. Then came the worst winter yet. The wind was always howling the skies always dark, the snow forever falling. But in the cave they were warm and safe. Celestia began to feel she loved this chaotic being. As intimidating as he was, she saw only a kind stallion with a good heart.

        At long last, the sisters decided to go out and explore. The promised that they would send Discord letters via magic all the time.

        Celestia knew nothing of what Discord did while they were gone, but got many letters from him. They were so frequent that it was as if they were still together. When Equestria was founded, they turned to Celestia and Luna as leaders, as they where alicorns. They invited Discord to live with them in their castle where they lived.

       Several years past and, Discord took over. Celestia was now devoted to her subjects, had more power, as well as a cutie mark. After many failed attempts of reasoning and defeating him without hurting him. Finally, they had to use the elements.

       Celestia was always pained by the memory. When he was free, she thought she could reform him. She was wrong. She hid any feels for Discord from everypony else. Other than anger.

          After reformation Celestia's heart soared. She tried to get what they had back but no avail. After siding with Teirik, Celestia was crestfallen. With Discord it was always up and down and up. After the flowers though, they seemed to be closer than ever before. But now, what she wanted for the past thousand years she might have destroyed.

        There was a knock on the door. Awoken from the thoughts, Celestia told whoever was at the door to come in. Luna peeked in. "Sister? Its, um..time for the sunrise."

         "Oh, right." Celestia shook as if to get rid of the unpleasant thoughts and memories she so often drowned in. She sighed, and rose the sun as Luna cleared away the night.

Chocie

         Queen Chrysalis grinned. The Crystal ball like orb filled with green fog. OH how amusing! She thought. They both love him, he only loves one, and is totally blind to one's affections! Her amusement did not last long, as a sharp pain in her belly as well as her had reminded her that she needed to give birth. She had to reproduce the changing population. Many has been lost in the lack of food.

         Her head hurt as the song as well as the spell the pink pony cast. She picked up, I KNOW SONG THAT GEts on everyponys nerves. And it faded out. Strange, but as her minions were chipping away at it, it was to be expected.

            Then she smelled a pepperminty smell. Joy? What was there to be happy about here. Brothers and sisters had starved to death as the changelings couldn't leave. But then a cheer went up. Her general flew in to her chambers.

   "Y...Your majesty, the spell has been....broken.

    "0h it has? GO now. Find us a new hive. And fast!" Her faithful generation buzzed away. Chrysalis lay back and realized her headache had left. But they pangs in her lower abdomen remained. "Soon," she told herself. "So very soon I will get revenge on my little urchin sister." Her lip curled. "Oh so very soon."

                                                                     *****

Discord was on top of the world!  No, the universe! He was going to tell the most beautiful princess ever how he truly felt! But wait.....

       "What about Fluttershy?" he asked himself. Annoyed with himself, he went home.

         He sprawled out on his couch thinking. Celestia HAD sealed him in stone. But so did Fluttershy. But Flutters was the only pony who could ever reform him. PRACTICALLY TWICE! But, he and Celestia had a past. But didn't he and Dluttershy?

         He groaned and snapped. He was instantly in his maid-like outfit and starting

un-washing his dishes.

         Fluttershy, or Celestia? Celestia had changed since they were young and so in love. Discord knew had to choose. But would Celestia still love him? Did Fluttershy love him? He took a deep breath and told himself, "Whoever I really love, I WILL tell her. But...Will they love me?" He took a deep breath and announced his choice out loud to himself. "I know who I truly love. And I love-

Secrets

Nopony else knew. Nopony else truly knew of the weight on her shoulders. Not Luna, not Cadence, not Twilight. Celestia shuddered, and extended her white wings to their full length. She flicked them, as if to take flight, but remained grounded. She sighed, lit a fire in the empty hearth, and opened one of the many scrolls she kept. She laid down on a large cushion, and started reading,

          "Dear Princess Celestia,

                                                     My friend Applejack is the best friend a pony could ever have. And she's always there to help any pony. The only trouble is, when she needs help...."

Celestia was cut off by a flash of light. Discord appeared with his eagle claw was in a, snapping position. He crouched down so that he was eye-level to Celestia.

                "Oh what's wrong Celestia?" Discord made a pouty face and flicked her lower lip causing her somber expression to become a pout similar to his. She managed a giggle and made room for him on the cushion. He obliged and settled his long body next to hers.

          Celestia thought about the many nights they spent in the caves and meadows outside the borders of Equestria, talking, laughing, and enjoying their young lives.

            "Tell Uncle Discord what's wrong and he'll fix it," Discord teased.

              "Even Uncle Discord can't fix this," Celestia murmured sadly. Discord was speechless. He tried again and again to cheer her up but a cloud of gloom hung over the white alicorn's head. As more and more of Discord's atemps to make her smile failed, he soon became angry and hurt.

        "Well fine then, Celestia! If you can't appreciate me using my chaotic powers for GOOD, (And for you none the less!) I guess I'll be going then!" He snapped, made a door appear, walked through, and teleported into nothingness, slamming the door behind him.

         Celestia's tears formed a small puddle on the floor.

Love is Blind

"And I so Ieft," Discord huffed, draining his tea and inhaling his cucumber sandwhich. He snapped absent mindedly, changing the color of the tea set. Fluttershy pretended not to notice, deciding that he needed it output.

         "I think you should apologize. She must be very troubled by something," Fluttershy  advised. She hoped Discord would not be mad at her too.

           "But what IS it? I tried to ask, but she avoided it. What did I do wrong?" Discord groaned "I'm going to tell you something Fluttershy, but please don't tell anypony else," Flutters nodded.

              "Go, on."

               "I....I...I've had a crush one Celestia for...ah...a long time. Ever since we were young. But....I don't know if she ever returned my feelings. Or if she does now. What do I do?" Discord looked up at Fluttershy eyes full of emotion, not noticing her blinking back tears.

       "Well, I..would tell her....how you....feel," Fluttershy answered, feeling the heat of tears behind her eyes, as her voice shook.

        "You're right! I will!" announced Discord confidently. He walked out with great swagger thanking Fluttershy. She felt a strange a emotion. It was an angry longing emotion. She was feeling envy. Envy for Celestia, who had Discord's heart. And anger. Anger for Discord, who didn't notice her and her feelings. For ignoring her heart, which she had willingly given to him. And sadness. Pure sadness. Why did life toy with her? She had one wish. She wished she could have Discord. The creature she loved so much.
