P.O.V.: Asmodeus: The deepest pit of Tartarus:

"According to Drogar's latest report Entropy has been invited to the gala, and is becoming attached to that damn Princess, Celestia, I could use this, oh yes, I could use this." Asmodeus, Demon Lord of hate and destruction, chuckled quietly to himself in the barely illuminated space that was his inner sanctum. Plans upon plans forming in his twisted mind.

P.O.V. : Entropy: private chambers: 24 hours until Gala.

Tomorrow was the big night. The night of the gala, currently all over Equestria, the social elite, the rich, famous ponies and influential figures alike were preparing for a chance to network with others of their status, many were even preparing to suck up to Princess Celestia in an attempt to further hidden political or personal agendas. But for Entropy, his sole reason was to spend time with the royalty of Equestria, especially Celestia. Speaking of preparing though, Entropy couldn't decide between his main outfit of a black and silver pinstripe suit or one he had created earlier that week, it was similar to his primary suit but instead of black and silver, it was purple and black. Snapping his fingers, he was left wearing the purple and black suit. Deciding that this one would look better, he snapped his fingers again and the suit he chose was hanging on a hanger off the top of his coat rack. Deciding that he was as prepared as he could get tonight, the chaos god went to sleep.


P.O.V. shift: Celestia: Canterlot castle ballroom: 21 hours 22 minutes until the gala.

Celestia was exhausted but still had five minutes before Luna took over preparations for the gala, and the night crew with her. As the tired princess directed the various crews and teams that made up the day shift's final rotation she thought excitedly about what tomorrow night would bring. As the moon rose, signaling the end of the day shift and the coming of the night shift, Celestia yawned, while her tired ponies set down tools and left the room in small groups. As the day shift left the night shift walked in, along with Luna. As her sister walked up, Celestia let loose a tired yawn.

"You look exhausted Cellie, you should go to bed, you don't want to be too tired for entropy's dance request do you?" Luna said with a smirk in her voice, her opinion of the new chaos god only improving since their admittedly rocky introduction. Having thought about how his views differed from Discord's, Luna realized that he would be easier to work with.

"Well, Lulu, I won't deny that I am looking forward to dancing with my new friend, but I am also looking forward to spending the night with my sister."

Luna smiled warmly. "Thank you for that, sister. Entropy seems to be a very close friend, especially for such a new one." Luna giggled. The quiet giggle becoming a loud chuckle at her sister's blushing face.

"Relax sister, I am only teasing, despite our rather interesting introduction, I have come to approve of entropy. He is a rather enjoyable companion to have. He has a marvelous view of chaos and its place in the grand scheme of creation. He also seems to care about you and the two of you make each other happy; so I approve.

"Thank you, Luna, it means much to me to know that you are so supportive. Well, I will leave the finishing touches to you and the night crew. I will see you in the morning." After bidding goodnight to her sister, Celestia walked out the door, and through the halls until she got to her room. Pushing open her door Celestia walked through, her horn lighting up as her regalia floated to its place on her desk. Closing her door Celestia popped off her horseshoes and walked over to her bed before moving the blankets and sheets to one side.


P.O.V. Entropy: 3 minutes until the gala:

"Alright, that's everything, now to teleport my way to the gala, but I'm gonna need a damn good entrance. Now what to do for one... that's perfect. Entropy's face twisted into a grin as he snapped his fingers.


P.O.V. Celestia: 15 minutes into the gala:

Celestia stood at the top of a staircase shaking hooves with a noble who wouldn't stop talking. On the outside, Celestia's face was a picture of grace, but inside her mind the Princess of the sun was worried. 'where is he? Did he decide not to come after all?' Her internal monologue was brought to a halt by the sudden stop of the music, the band, having stopped mid-song. Suddenly the focus of her worries appeared in a flash. His appearance was causing a murmur of confusion to ripple through the crowd. Entropy snapped his fingers and the band's instruments transformed into an assortment of strange, curious looking instruments. The lord of chaos walked up the stairs passing nobles who were to shocked by him to protest, approaching the alicorn, he dropped into a bow before grabbing her hoof.


P.O.V. Entropy:

'ladies love a gentlemen' remarked Entropy in his mind upon seeing the blush on Celestia's face when he placed a kiss on top of the hoof in his hand.

"Might I have this dance, fair Celestia?"

"Why of course lord Entropy, I would be honored. However, I get the feeling that this is not a typical dance that I am getting myself into."

"You are correct milady, I find normalcy boring, and I think you will enjoy this song anyway." Entropy snapped his fingers and songa began to play. Suddenly Celestia found her body pressed against Entropy's causing Celestia's blush to erupt again. She found herself being led in a fast dance to upbeat sounding music, Entropy leading her in some spins and dips, causing the alabaster princess's heart to speed up. As the pair danced the entire room watched shocked.


P.O.V. Shift: Luna:

"Remarkable, centuries of nobles, spending fortunes attempting to court her and an alien manages to do what they couldn't with a dance." Luna turned to see her niece smiling as she watched the lord of chaos and the princess of the sun dance.

"Yes, it truly is remarkable; but Entropy is a remarkable being, while he embodies chaos, he chooses to serve balance."

"Thier dance is truly remarkable, a display of balance, The embodiment of chaos dancing with one of the pillars of order. It is a beautiful dance of balance that is on display here." Cadence said with a tone that Luna found unnerving for some reason. Unknown to Luna, as she focussed on the dance Cadence used her magic to search the feelings Luna held for entropy seeking to confirm her suspicions, what she found caused a smirk to form on her face and a devious idea to take shape in her mind.
