Love will shine through the toughest of times. Our love will save me. But sometimes the medicine the doctor perscribes, stops working.

It's been months after I got out of the hospital. Discord and I have been together since before that. We remembered each other, didn't stop fighting, and our love shines true.
Ever since being locked in that basement, though, fears in the back of my mind are resurfacing. They only went away when Discord was with me through the night, but fear won over, and these sleepless nights slowly kill me. I don't tell. Everyone around me have no reason to worry. They have other things that are more important.

Music to listen to here and here and here

Prologue

The sun filtered through the trees, and the leaves fell like rose petals, as they colored the ground.

Together, we danced to the music in our heads. It was our own genre of music, that couldn't be understood, unless you felt the words, felt the tempo rock your body, and heard the melody.

I must've got some brain transplant. I don't remember what happened to me, because suddenly I'm another pony around him. He puts my thoughts on hold, and fills me with an emotion I haven't felt in a long time. I felt loved.

It doesn't make sense, though. He's chaos, I'm kindness. We're so different, yet we're able to love each other, and we aren't love-drunk either. It's the kind of thing that makes so much sense, that it ends up to not make sense.

Then again, what's the fun in making sense? Celestia, I must be going insane!

If I am, it's the best kind of insanity there is.

I was pulled back down to Equestria, when I was suddenly spun into another stallions arms, and music started in my head. Was it playing the whole time?

How did I get here? Wasn't I just outside? Wasn't it fall? The gala isn't in the fall.

I turned around to see him slipping through the door, that was slightly open. It silently shut behind him, and he was gone. I ran to him, but hit something invisible, when I was only five feet, from the door. Did he put up the barrier? Why? What's going on? So many questions are running through my brain, right now.

I turned back around, to look for an escape. Everyone was gone. I ran too the garden door, to see if I could catch up to him on wing, but the walls melted away, to reveal a broken Equestria.

The 'Tirek Incident' was laid out before me, like a deck of cards. If I play it right, the same thing will happen. Happy ending for everyone, and every Draconequus. If I play it wrong, everything comes crashing down. I don't get to choose, however. It's all chance.

Unfortunately, we had a price to pay, for believing in fate too much.

Twilight collapsed, as I was freed from the near invisible confinement. When I ran to Twilight's aid, I realized, I was alone. My friend, a barely breathing mess, depended on me.

The earth beneath me shook violently, when Tire let out a loud roar. A smile curled at his lips, and he reached out, and crushed Discord in his fist. It's all so confusing, and overwhelming. First he was with me, then he was gone, and now he's back again.

Tirek raised his fist, crushing Discord as he struggled in his grip, trying to get out of this alive, but it was to no avail. Tirek threw him into the ground, and dust flew up in the air, filling my lungs as I breathed it in, and choking me.

I would've screamed, but there was nopony to hear me.

My eyes shot open, and I breathed quickly. Tears streamed down my cheeks, carving riverbeds into my fur. Sweat created a thick layer across my forehead, and joined my tears, when it decided to make the trip down my face.

I panted, until my heart slowed. Right away, I was greeted with the quiet, of nothing but the clock ticking, and Discord snoring softly beside me.

Discord was always a heavy sleeper. Even the quick, sudden shake of the bed, when I threw my upper body into the air, snapping awake, didn't seem to faze him. Taking this opportunity, I went downstairs to distract myself from the previous dreams. There's no way I'll get back to sleep, and I already know it.

The animals slept in their respectable places downstairs. Animals that weren't inside, had shelters made specially for them, or made their own. Inside, animals slept in the walls, in small houses, on the support beams, and on pet beds, or blankets.

I weaved slowly through the mess of sleeping fauna on the floor, and hanging off the roof, and the flora, on shelves, windowsills, tables, and on the floor. It was hard not to laugh. The whole set up reminded me of the labyrinth. She half-expected for Discord to appear out of nowhere, awake and lively, like he usually is.

When I finally got to the kitchen, I wouldn't have stopped, if it weren't for one picture hanging on the wall. In it, Discord and I stood side by side. He had just proposed, and I said yes.

At the time, the stitches in my sides, from the various surgeries, were still healing. I had asked for his jacket to cover them up, but he convinced me, that I was beautiful with them. That it shows, that I survived, and it's something to remember.

It was only weeks after I got out of the hospital, that he had proposed to me. He told me I was the only one, that he couldn't bear to see me unhappy. He wanted to devote all of his eternity to making me smile, and he didn't want to loose me a second time. That he'd die for me.

He's the only one for me, and I never want to make him unhappy. The days I've made him smile, are marked on my calendar, I want to remember when it happened. Down to the last second. I would die for him, and a life without him, is a life the same worth of a hair.

He makes dying seem not so bad. As long as we both go together.

I hadn't slept a peaceful night, after being chained in that stone cold room. It brought so many fears from the back of my mind. However, Discord stayed with me at the hospital, and chased all my nightmares away.

The night of our engagement, Pinkie threw a party for us. She told us she knew because of her Pinkie Sense. I've long since learned to never question it.

Discord walked me home, but when he was ready to depart, I wanted him to stay, and he did. Since then, he stayed with me every night.

For the next few days, I dreamed of only us, and the good in the future, that I could only hope will come. That we are lucky enough to have faith think we deserve it.

But fears don't just leave forever.

Author's Note

I spent a couple hours outside writing and revising this a bit, It's kind of a rocky start, as is everything that I write, but I'm excited to continue writing this, and hear your requests!
