Perfectly Harmonious (On Hold)
Chapter 4
Previous ChapterCelestia followed the floating Draconequus to the large seemingly endless brown river. Discord smiled a bit at her curious wide amethyst eyes that had ruby limbal rings around them.
Celestia gasped and giggled before stifling it with a hoof. Discord raised an eyebrow "What?" He questioned. Celestia shook her head "I'm sorry thou art just so... Charming in thy own way that is" She whispered. Discord smiled "I appreciate the compliment, your highness but we are now upon the Chocolake" He announced diving into the lake. Celestia gasped looking for him "Sir Discord?" She called out looking for any sign of the draconequus.
Suddenly, a tap on the shoulder made the alicorn jumped in fright before falling into the lake herself. Celestia resurfaced gasping for air while dog paddling through the thick liquid.
Meanwhile, Discord was laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe. Celestia threw him a glare before smirking and diving under the chocolate.
When Discord finally sobered from his laughter, Celestia was nowhere to be found. "Umm...Princess?" He called out splashing the chocolate. 'Great job, thou hast drowned a princess. Mother's gonna kill me' he growled mentally feeling a sickening feeling in his stomach as he frantically looked for her.
Suddenly, 2 chocolate covered forelegs wrapped around him pulling him into the lukewarm chocolate. Celestia resurfaced laughing as Discord struggled to land like a frightened cat. Discord shook himself like a dog making a distinct yet humorous flapping noise before glaring daggers at the mare.
Celestia sat in the lake with a crafty smile on her face "Are thou ok, Sir Discord? Thou seemed frightened..." She asked innocently. Discord panted trying to calm him beating heart "Be... Careful... Or... I'm going to give thou the nickname Troll Princess" He wheezed through pants.
Celestia smiled at this but said nothing as she climbed out of the lake and looked at her soiled fur. Discord shook his head when he looked at her before snapping his talon. All the chocolate disappeared without any sticky residue or stains "Thou hast our thanks, Sir Discord" She said in awe once again.
Discord shuffled awkwardly "I still don't know thy name..." He whispered almost mutely. Celestia's face flushed with color "Oh Dear! Forgive our manners, our name is Princess Celestia" She informed him quickly.
"Celestia" He tried out on his tongue then nodded with a smile. "Trollestia!" He declared. Celestia tilted her head "We do not follow..." She stated.
"That's your nickname, Trollestia" He snickered covering her muzzle with his paw. Celestia face grew more red "I'm- WE ART ABOVE SUCH...SPITEFUL NICKNAMES!" She screamed more in embarrassment then anger.
Discord shook her head with a smile "I didn't mean to be mean, Celestia. It was just a joke..." He explained rubbing her back. Celestia looked at him with huge watery adorable eyes "Do... Do not do it again..." She whispered her nose unconsciously twitching like a rabbit.
Discord smiled and nodded "Come on and we can grab a fishing pole and catch Swedish Fish" He exclaimed happily. Celestia looked horrified "There was fish in that chocolate!?" She squealed looking to the lake in disbelief. Discord nodded "Candy fish" He said nonchalantly poofing up two poles to use.
Celestia turned the pole in different angles attempting to figure out such a strange devices. "Discord? We require thy assistance" She requested politely. Discord smiled "First thou needs a gummy worm" He explained poofing up the item in question. He empaled the wriggling organism onto the hoof looping twice it twice for good measure.
Celestia watched in fascination like the draconequus was a god. Discord chuckled and gave Celestia the pole. Discord grabbed his own and repeated the process "Next thou casts it out like this..." He said swinging his rope like a pro into the lake.
Celestia smiled 'Seems easy enough...' She thought before copying the draconequus's actions. The rope didn't extend as she wanted it to and fell limply onto the ground with the poor worm. Discord chuckled "I forgot to extend it" He giggled sheepishly before extending her rope a bit.
"Ok..." He said standing back "Try again!"
Celestia looked at him with a doubtful expression before attempting again to swing the pole like the draconequus. The hook went higher than expected going into a tree entangling itself with the branches. Celestia looked at him with a helpless expression "I'm not good at this..." She whimpered a bit.
Discord floated up to the tree untangling the hoof "Try once more" He encouraged. Celestia sighed and nodded "Ok..." She she said gripping the pole tightly. Discord rested his arms around hers "Relax... Don't try and be professional" He explained. Celestia took a deep breath in filling her lungs with fresh candy scent air before taking a relaxing exhale from her mouth. Her eyes were determined as she readied her hooves to swing.
She stepped forward and swung downwards.
The most unexpected thing happened...
"OH MY GOD, CELESTIA! I KNOW THOU ART A PRINCESS BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!" He exclaimed as Celestia stared frozen. "I'm sorry I got too relaxed" She defended looking at the lake where the pole disappeared. "So relaxed that thou hast thrown the pole into the lake... Good Job" He said clapping
Celestia's face grew hotter and more flushed as she looked at the lake. "Can we do something else..." She begged. Discord nodded "You owe me a pole..." He whispered under his breath as he walked her to her next location.
