Chaos, it was law now,chaos day and night, 24/7 never stopping never ending. It was truly a beautiful sight, seeing a group of buffalo dance by as a house in the back ground suddenly flips over. A flock of frying pans flying by as taffy leaked out of them, it was truly a beautiful sight for the king of chaos to behold....at least he thought. The misshapen Dragoneqiuus sat on his throne on top of the pillar he grew in the middle of ponyville. His many different body parts being warmed up in the light of the frog shaped sun. His head resembled a horse, a deer antler on the right, a goat horn on the left. He ran his snake tongue along his one long fang in a attempt to do anything more exciting. His eyes mismatched red eyes scanned the land lazily. He raised his right arm which was a lions paw and stroked his beard with it. He stopped playing with his beard bored with it already and laid his head in his left arm that was an eagle's claw. He continued to stare at the landscape for what felt like hours to him before he stood up making his long body pop. He sat back down and lifted his right leg which looked like it belonged to a lizard, he quickly kicked a small rock that was next to his throne. He crossed his other leg over it putting his goat leg above the lizard one making them cross. He sat their pouting slightly as he reached up and began to play with his right wing that belonged to a bat. After a few moments he began to play with his left wing the wing of a Pegasus making sure his feathers in the wing were straight. He looked up in thought at the fact he wanted the feathers on his wing to be straight, he sighed loudly his snake's tail slithering back and forth behind him.

He sat their watching chunks of earth floating aimlessly through the air. pink clouds floating by showering everything under them in chocolate milk. The sky changing colors every few seconds. Discord sat lazily on his throne bringing his eagle arm up to his face examining his nails with a bored expression.

“I'm bored.” Was all the Dragoneqiuus said out loud with slight annoyance. Despite the pandemonium all over Ponyville he was bored and he couldn't figure out why. He sat there in silence for awhile, before clicking his fingers and making a glass of chocolate milk appear out of thine air. Discord took a sip and looked out over the empty and dead quiet streets of the small town. He ran his eagle talon across the top of the cup making it purr quietly as he did so.

“Why cant I enjoy my chaos?” He asked annoyed. It had only been nearly a whole year since Discord the god of chaos and disharmony had successfully taken over the small town. sure he put the whole world at his knees but after a few months of that he decided he needed a headquarters of his own. he picked Ponyville because it was the center of harmony and plunging it into chaos showed the whole world he was here to stay. plunging it into utter chaos was the first thing to do on his list, he looked at his list he had and noticed all the check marks on it, beat the elements check. humiliate a defeated Celestia and Luna check, show the world who's the new king in town check. nearly everything was checked off making him toss it to the side bored. he felt like visiting a random kingdom today but felt too lazy, he didn't feel like fighting armies today. sure the nations of the world tried to stop him sending armies after armies after him but if those armies couldn't stand up to Celestia or even Luna what made them think they could even stop him? he shook his head he had decided a 4 months ago to stop invading over kingdoms, not out of fear but out of boredom and convenience. nothing annoyed him more than to have to battle in the middle of the night after he was fast asleep, they kept their distance as long as he kept his. though he did get a few mercenaries and a few solders here and there coming to 'stop him' and become hero's, he did enjoy those the most simply because they were random events and he did enjoy exercising. He grinned as he recalled his first the so called “fight” and with a click of his fingers a giant TV popped out of nowhere. he did enjoy viewing his first fight and his first victory.

…........................ discord TV...........

AHAHAHAHAHA!

A loud maniacal laughter rang though what was left of Ponyville. The new self proclaimed king sat on his throne laughing at all the chaos. A house made out of cards to his right, chunks of earth with houses still on them floating in the background, a herd of long leg rabbits running past him, and just in time to make him laugh some more a herd of dancing buffalo doing bale in tutus, it was enough to drive anypony mad but to him it was simply amusing. He clicked his fingers with glee as pies rained down onto the street. He sighed happily and then as if on cue a cotton candy cloud flew next to him and he quickly made a cup appear in his hand as chocolate rain began to fall filling it with chocolate.

“Chaos is a wonderful wonderful thing.” He said happily as he was about to take a sip of his favorite drink.

“Not as wonderful as Friendship!” A female voice yelled loud enough to get his attention. He sighed as he looked over and saw the Mane six. He laughed on the inside at the terrible pony pun.

“Oooh this again?” he asked with a grin as he took a sip of his drink drinking up the glass leaving the milk in perfect shape. He looked at the milk and tossed it over his head making it explode in a rain of confetti as it hit the ground. He laughed to himself again enjoying the idea of demolition party chocolate milk. At that moment he noticed they where talking.

“Blah blah friendship blah blah harmony.” was all he heard making him give a deep chuckle.

“Oh Applejack don’t lie to me,I'm the one who made you a liar.” he said not missing a beat using his powers to pull the earth pony and the rest to him enjoying the look of fear in their eyes. To his surprise Twilight Sparkle appeared in front of him and used her magic to put up a protective bubble around her and her friends. As they landed he noticed something that unnerved him a little, the beautiful checkerboard pattern he put on the ground turned back into normal grass.

“Hmm interesting, looks like the elements are no longer in disarray.” Discord thought to himself but not letting them see he was a tiny bit nervous. At that moment he wished he was back in stone as the princesses number one student went on a rant.

“Oh god how I hate rants about friendship and harmony its always so boring.” He thought to himself tapping his chin in boredom, he suddenly grinned as he got an idea that made him grin. He quickly teleported in front of them making a annoyed face.

“Ewww gag, Fine go ahead try to use your little elements to friend me,Just make it quick!” He added as he teleported back to his comfy throne.

“I’m missing some excellent Chaos here.” he said in a dull voice while grinning at them. They stood there about to attack when he noticed one of them was missing. He looked over and saw Pinkie Pie practically showering under the chocolate rain, he smiled.

“Oh if only she wasn't a element welder.” he said sighing sadly. She was the only one who he didn't mind having around she was so much like him yet not really like him. He smiled as she gulped down all the chocolate milk she could. She smiled and he swore she smiled at him, but then hoped next to her friends and growled at him like a rabid dog. He sat their bored wondering what was going to happen next ready for anything but what he saw made his stomach turn.

“.....It cant be...the elements are....activating?” He thought to himself his playful chaotic mind ceasing to exist instead it was replaced with a calculating mind.

“ Hmm OK I've seen this before like so many movies and sadly I know the ending too well.” He thought. It was lucky of him that his mind worked faster than normal creatures he began to form a plan. Should he teleport? DODGE!? Beg forgiveness?or should he simply just kill them? The last thought made him frown,sure he was a monster and their enemy but he despised violence it was sooooo predictable so boring. He knew he could replace their blood with ground glass, or give them a brain tumor that would kill them instantly, or the classic snapping their necks with a click of his fingers. He looked at his hand and looked at it.

“Should I?” he thought darkly. But smiled as he waved off the dark ideas away he had class he wasn't a simple brute, a killer. He sighed in annoyance that would make this so much easier but then wheres the fun in that? He could turn them into stone but like he said before he doesn't turn ponies into---

“Stone...” he thought his mind racing with ideas and one stood out and he grinned as he watch the Elements of Harmony rise up into the sky.

“Hu? Oh no whats this?!” He yelled in a worried tone backing away slightly.

“No!” He yelled standing up. The Elements grew brighter and brighter as the elements shot forward in a wave of pure energy.

“NO!NO!NOOOOOooooo!” He yelled louder as he looked at them with a terrified look on his eyes as the energy hit him. He grinned on the inside as he put his plan into motion. He yelled his body contorting in painful ways, his lower body turning into stone and slowly began to move upward.

“Damn it I forgot how much this hurts!” He yelled to himself but grinned as he made the silliest face he could muster as the stone overtook him.

….......at the Canterlot Castle..........

The mane six walked in thought the doors happily. Enjoying the looks of awe and adore on the faces of the other ponies cheering them on. They slowly made their way up the stairs to Princess Celestia. She looked down at them with the brightest smile. She cleared her throat making everypony be quite.

“We are gathered here today to once again honor the heroism of these six friends who stood up to the villain Discord.” Princess Celestia said proudly.

“And saved Equestria from eternal chaos!” She said happily making the crowed cheer. Princess Celestia used her magic to reveal a new window showing the victory over the fallen god of chaos.

“I'm so proud of all of you.” Celestia said giving them each a hug.

“We are happy to help anytime Princess Celestia we---

“Hey Princess. I gotta ask ya something!” Pinkie pie said butting in interrupting Twilight in the process. The Alicorn smiled at the silly pony.

“Sure what is it Element of laughter?” She said with a warm smile. Pinkie smiled up at her before tapping her chin a bit with her hoof.

“What will happen to Discord?” She asked looking up at the princess something in her eyes sparkled. The Alicorn looked down at her and sighed sadly.

“He will remain in his prison for the rest of eternity, hopefully.” She added at the end making the pink mare look down sadly.

“Oh that’s too bad, he was fun.” She said drawing circles on the rug with her hoof.

“Pinkie what?!” Twilight yelled at her making her jump a bit.

“Yeah pinkie what the hay!?” Rainbow Dash yelled giving her a glare at her friend.

“Oh I was just saying I kind of feel sorry for him I mean if only the elements took all the bad away from him like they did with Luna, it would have been neat to have him around.” Pinkie Pie said with a smile on her face. Celestia looked down at her and smiled.

“I know dear I wish so too I take no pleasure in this believe me I do.”Celestia said having a sad look in her eyes, as if rembering something. the group stayed quite for a while until the rainbow maned Pegasus got up and yelled.

“Enough talk! Lets keep this party going!” She yelled getting the crowed riled up again cheering and clapping.

“Yeah I’m with Rainbow Dash here!” Applejack said with a smile.

“YAY! WOOO! GO MANE SIX!” A voice yelled loud enough to be heard clearly making the group giggle.

“That’s funny since when are we called the mane six?” Twilight asked as she giggled looking around the room.

“Hmm that’s funny....only one pony called us that and he isn't even a pony.” Pinkie Pie said looking around for the voice.

“And who was that?” Celestia asked looking down at her.

“Hey Celestia I think you’d look better having a mane made out of popcorn!” The voice yelled again with a deep chuckle.

“Popcorn? That doesn't make any sense.” Celestia said as she scanned the room a cold chill running down her spine.

“Make sense? What fun is their in making sense?” the voice said giving another deep chuckle that filled the room. Celestia, Twilight and the rest of her friends slowly turned and nearly scared themselves to death. Their sitting on a table enjoying a glass of chocolate milk was the god of Chaos and Disharmony.

“Di.... Di.... Discord!?” All of them yelled in shock their jaws nearly hitting the ground as he sipped his drink smacking his lips happily.

“Oh finally it took you long enough to notice me, I mean really how do you forget this beautiful face?” He asked with a grin only looking at them though the corner of his eye.

“But how?! You where sealed away in stone!” Twilight yelled stepping forth making him grin at her.

“Oh yeah.....well as you can see I’m here in the flesh!...well sort of.” He said as he slowly turned around facing them. They gasped as they saw that half his face was stone.

“But...but we turned you into stone!” Rainbow Dash yelled in shock making him chuckle more.

“Tisk Tisk Rainbow Dash did you forget who I am already?” he said with a grin as he clicked his fingers turning his face back into skin. Everypony that was near him screamed and backed away from him as he stood up towering over them.

“It was but a simple trick my dear little ponies.” he said with a chuckle as he stared them down.

“Girls the Elements!” Twilight yelled as she got into fighting position as well as the others. Discord laughed as he clicked his fingers.

“Oh? Here let me help you.” He said with glee as he clicked his fingers making the Elements of Harmony appeared before them.

“Wait what?” Twilight asked stopping in her tracks wondering what was happening.

“Oh well didn't you say you wanted them?” He asked dully looking annoyed as he looked at his paw patting down the fur as he ignored them.

“What trickery is this Discord?!” Celestia asked her voice forceful as she stepped forth.

“What cant I do a nice thing without me being up to something?” he asked with a snicker as he stared her down to his glee she backed down a bit.

“Princess we will handle this varmint!” Applejack said putting on her element. The others soon followed behind her.

“This time we wont miss!” Rainbow dash yelled as her element began to glow, the rest of the elements followed her example, pinkie and Fluttershy being slightly hesitant before theirs started to glow as well. each of them glowing brighter and brighter. Celestia smiled as she looked over at Discord expecting him to burst into tears or beg forgiveness but to her surprise he wasn't scared in fact he was smiling chuckling even. The elements reached their peak and were about to fire. To Celesta's horror the elements crackled with lighting and a loud boom followed. The shock wave of the blast knocked everything near them down. The whole room was blinded by a bright white light.

“What happened? Celestia asked as she got up feeling weak she felt like a dragon just got down playing catch with her. She waited for the smoke to clear and was horrified to see what had indeed happen. The Elements were on the floor hurt and weak. Discords laugh was heard as he stood there with a smile.

“Surprised?” he asked in a mocking tone as he danced around a a tiny circle.

“What did you do?!” Celestia yelled at him making him stop dancing much to his annoyance as he poofed away his large round hat and maracas.

“What makes you think I had anything to do with this?” Discord asked offended by her remark as he placed his paw on his head like he was about to faint.

“Then what happened?!” Celestia yelled angrily about to attack him but before she knew it Discord clicked his fingers making her mouth zip close as a rope came out of the ground and hog tied her and pulled her onto the ground.

“Shush no need to be rude.” he said with a grin as he walked over to his captive audience. He grinned as he bent down next to Celestia.

“Well well well I didn't know you were into....oh wait if I remember correctly you were quite the feisty mare hehe.” he said running a talon around her neck making her blush slightly as she tried to pull away making him chuckle again. he did have to admit she did look cute.

“Don’t you dare make up those lies!” Twilight yelled as she began to stand up her legs shaking as she did. Discord gave a slight laugh as he turned and looked at her.

“Me? A liar? Why don’t you ask your dear princess who tied who up.” Discord said with a grin. Twilight looked at his teacher with worried eyes hoping for a answer but she just looked down blushing making twilight's face go slightly pale.

“See I told you.” He said slowly walking over to Twilight and the rest of the mane six. He laughed to himself again that pun was really starting to grow on him.

“Discord...tell me how hwo h...ow.” Twilight didn't finish her sentience as her legs suddenly gave out. She felt the whole world spin she thought she would hit the hard ground any second now but to her surprise the ground felt scaly and a bit poofy. She looked up and saw Discord looking down at her, his tail was gently lowering her down on to the ground.

“Easy their my little pony.” He said in a rich sweet tone. Twilight looked up at him inevitably blushing. when did his voice get so...deep.

“Please tell me wha----”

“Shhhh I will my dear you just rest up, i don't want to start digging graves dear.” He said with what looked like genuine concern in his eyes but then quickly reverted to the chaotic glee he always had in them as he spun around addressing the remaining audience, he always did love an audience.

“WELL! Here's what happened.” He said suddenly yelling as he clicked his fingers making a chair made out of cotton candy pop out.

“You all are probably wondering what happened? How did discord not get turned into stone? How did the Elements of Harmony Fail so hard like some cheap knock offs? How does he make a goatee look so damn sexy?” He said with a smile as he ran his lion hand though his beard. Pinkie giggled weakly at that remark. Discord smiled as he tossed her a peace of his cotton candy chair which she eagerly ate. she was starting to grow on him.

“Well first of all I’m guessing you want to know why you failed in giving me another stone jumpsuit.” He said with a grin. Celestia and the mane six looked at him and slowly nodded.

“Hehe six times, OK its official I’m turning this into a drinking game.” He thought to himself as he clicked his fingers making a glass of chocolate milk and he eagerly drank it.

“Its very simple you see, an element of harmony can be tricked but not just any element the element the individual used to wield.” He said his grin never leaving his face.

“But how? we all wanted the chaos to end.” Twilight said but suddenly her eyes went wide as she and the others looked over at pinkie pie. Pinkie looked up at them with sad eyes.

“No,no,no don’t go blaming the best pony of the group.” he said chuckling as they all looked at him angrily, except Pinkie who just blushed rubbing the back of her head a bit. Rarity gave a 'hmph' at his remark. Suddenly he clicked his fingers again making pinkie pies element rise above her head and off her body. The others looked in horror as it slowly floated to him.

“Ah its amazing how it still has that shine.” He said clutching it in his hand as it began to glow magic starting to flow though it.

“Wait how are you doing that?!” Twilight yelled worriedly as she stood up again a bit more strength in her.

“Remember when I said that the Element of Laughter was my personal favorite?” he said looking over at twilight.

“Yes...” She said in a weak voice her mind racing for the answer trying to avoid the obvious and most painful answer.

“Well why do you think its my favorite?” Discord asked looking at her. Twilight stayed quite as her eyes bugged out.

“I'm sure Celestia could answer that.” He said looking over at her.

“I mean we had such good times wielding them, stopping true evil, oh how fun it was.” Discord sighed sadly tapping it a bit making the element glow brighter.

“But you are true evil!” Twilight said angrily. Discord looked at her with a hurt expression.

“My dear if you think I am true evil then you don't know the meaning of the word.” Discord hissed at her as he looked over to the fallen princess.

“Celestia might of said I am evil but no I’m just naughty.” He said chuckling as he looked back at Twilight.

“True evil my dear dear Twilight is something so horrific that if I where to tell you what I and the the princesses had to fight, it would drive you into madness.” He said coldly turning his attention to the element and tapping at it some more.

“But...no your bad you need a good but kicking.” Rainbow dash said angrily standing up but unable to fly up to him as her legs nearly gave out after the first step.

“Naughty not evil if you want evil look up Grogar and Tirek.” He said with such disgust as he glared at the element..

“I never heard of them.” Twilight said looking up at him.

“Hehe go to the forbidden section of the library that's the last place I saw the book.” He said back but looking confused for a second.

“OK here’s something I really have to ask why would you have a forbidden section of a library anyway? I mean why keep one?” He asked looking over at Celestia.

“Stop trying to change the subject, what about the elements!” Twilight yelled at him making him sigh as he looked up from the element.

“do I REALLY need to spell it out for you Twilight?” He asked annoyed. Twilight stood their mauling over his words trying to figure out what he meant, then suddenly it clicked in her mind like some horrible truth that was never meant to be known the truth she did not want to believe.

“...No you cant mean.” Twilight said shocked her eyes bugging out in fear.

“Oh I do my dear you see a Element wielder can always use their element, even former wielders.” Discord said darkly as the element the laughter wrapped itself around his neck glowing brightly as it hung there. Twilight's world came crashing down on her what he was saying was true, Discord the spirit of chaos and disharmony a being that is considered to be pure evil was a former element wielder.

“But how that doesn't make any sense!” Twilight said angrily.

“Exactly, trust me my dear Twilight I was in the same boat as you when I was chosen.” He said looking looking up being deep in thought.

“But that’s a flashback for another time.” He said with glee as he pulled it off his neck.

“That doesn't answer why you didn't get trapped in stone!” Rainbow Dash yelled standing up not wanting to be quite anymore.

“Hehe easy their Rainbow Crash.” he said grinning at the multicolored pony angry expression.

“I was just getting to that.” he said with a smile.

“You see when the Elements Of Harmony hit me I called out to my former element, it answered back I said hi it said hi back and we had a little chat.” He said happily as if what he said sounded perfectly sane.

“But talking to it doesn't make---OK so you talked to it but that still doesn't explain why your not stone.” Twilight said getting more and more angry by the second.

“I asked it to not put me into stone and it said OK much to the others dismay.” He said dully but sighed when he saw the expression on her face.

“Look Twilight I don’t know its a complete mystery to me as well.” He said annoyed as he held the Element of Laughter up staring it down as i expecting it to speak to him again.

“I don’t know it should of sent me to a another millennium of suffering...I guess it took pity on me.” He said not looking at the group of ponies.
"After all if i remember correctly a old friend of mine listed the magic used to turn something into stone in the forbidden arts section of a few books." he said still holding up the element.

“Suffering?” Fluttershy suddenly said out loud surprising everyone near her.

“Yes suffering, what you think it was play time for me in the stone?” He asked in a slightly angry tone. Suddenly he glared at them making them all back off a little.

“You really did think it wasn't bad at all?” he asked with a snarl. The mares nodded and he just scoffed.

“Oh how I wish it was, Imagine standing in the same place everyday and night.” He said firmly turning his glare back at the element as if wanting to smash it.

“Then imagine not being able to move an inch, every single second of your existence you have to stay in the same place looking at the same things day in and day out for 1000 years and not being able to interact with them in anyway.” He said louder making them all back off even more.

“Now picture everything I said and STILL being able to feel everything, when it rains you’d feel it, when its scorching hot you’d feel it and finally when its freezing you’d feel it!” He yelled angrily. It took him a moment to clam down again and continued.

“And finally this was the biggest nightmare, imagine not sleeping not just having trouble sleeping but not being able to sleep at all.” he said darkly as he sighed making a glass of chocolate milk appear in his hand and taking a sip of it.

“Imagine that 1000 years of not sleeping...of not being able to dream.” he said quietly.

“A 1000 years of looking at the same things over and over again and not being able to do anything to make the pain of being completely alone go away.” He said finally taking a deep breath.

“I....I had no idea I’m soo soo sorry.” Fluttershy said walking up to Discord in near tears.

“Your sorry? OK good.” He said suddenly smiling.

“But that doesn't change what will happen next.” he said drinking more of his milk.

“What will happen?” Twilight asked nervously already knowing the answer.

“Well my dear I think a bit of chaos is in order, oh! Who am I kidding theirs going to be a heck of a lot of it!” He said eagerly his attitude changing as if someone flicked a switch.

“No! We will stop you!” Applejack said angrily the others nodding in agreement with their friend.

“Not this time my little ponies!” He yelled happily clicking his fingers. The Elements of Harmony around the necks of the six ponies began to glow and were yanked from them.

“HEY! Give that back!” Rainbow Dash yelled flapping her wings ready to fight but she yelped in pain as her wings clearly told her that they where not ready. The Elements floated around Discord and he stood there grinning.

“Now its time to make sure I never lose again.” he said with a grin as he clicked his fingers again making what looked like a mini black hole pop under the six Elements. Celestia tried to yell and get up but failed due to being hog tied and muzzled.

“Oh? Eager are we?” he said with a grin clicking his fingers unzipping her mouth.

“What are you doing?!” she yelled as loud as she could making her voice crack a bit as she did.

“Well that’s very simple you see, I opened up a few portals to The Void.” He said with a grin but quickly noticed the looks on the faces of his captors.

“Sigh you need to read up more.” He said sighing.

“The....Void? You can't mean---”

“Yes I do but to make sure others understand, The Void is the dead space between universes untouched by reality and time itself! Imagine 1000000 years would pass like it was a second and now guess where these are going!” He yelled happily as he began to laugh.

“But how? WHY?!” Celestia asked in a near panic.

“You see my dear if theirs one thing I'm good at is that I Never make the same mistakes twice.” He said clicking his fingers making them drop into the void. Each element slowly fell into nothingness disappearing from sight. The Element of Laughter was the last to go as Discord stood their watching it.

“Its such a shame I cant keep you, would have been nice to relive the good old days.” he said sadly as the last element, His element fell into the void but to his surprise it glowed for a few seconds as if it was speaking to him before it fell. Discord stood their eyes wide open as if he just heard the most beautiful song ever made.

“.....I....I don't believe you, how can it happen?! Tell ME!” He yelled into the void. Pinkie pie noticed in all the confusion that a small tear fell down Discords face with such a sad look on his face, He looked over at her and quickly wiped it away.

“...WELL! Victory is mine now its time for a new world My World.” He said laughing triumphantly.

“Now then first things first, Sweet Sweet revenge.” he said with a evil grin as he clicked his fingers again. A bright light surrounded Celestia blinding her for a few seconds, her eyes adjusted quickly as the light faded.

“What the?” Was all she said as she noticed she was in a cage.

“Do you really think this cage will hold me?!” She yelled angrily.

“Yes I do princess.” Discords voice boomed, Celestia jumped at how loud his voice was it was as if he was thunder itself. Suddenly A giant eye appeared in front of her, she screamed and jumped back.

“Hiiiiii.” He said as Celestia suddenly felt the cage being lifted into the air.

“What are you doing!?” She yelled as the cage suddenly stopped moving.

“Princess Celestia?!” Twilight’s voice boomed behind her. She turned around and to her horror saw a giant twilight.

“Oh you have got to be kidding me.” Celestia said in a deadpanned voice as she slowly looked over at the giant discord.

“Awww that’s soo cute how she sounds like a tiny bird that is completely useless.” He said his eyes sparkling as he did. Celestia didn’t notice that her voice was extremely high pitched.

“Tia want a cracker?” He asked the tiny pony with a grin. Celestia began to scream and yell at him but to everyone in the room only heard high pitched whining.

“Change her back now!” Twilight yelled as she watched her beloved teacher turned into a joke.

“Why? Shes so much better this way.” he said darkly as he stared at his new pet. Celestia's horn began to glow as a tiny lighting bolt flew out hitting him in the eye. Discord only smiled as he blinked.

“Awww that’s soo cute!” He yelled as he shook the cage a little making his new pet scream in panic.

“Stop that!” Twilight yelled as her horn began to glow. Discord looked at her with an amused look. Twilight yelled as she suddenly as a beam of light shot out of her horn, the light was getting closer and closer but Discord stood his ground. As the beam got closer Discord raised his Eagle hand and swatted it away much to the dismay of Twilight and the others.

“Oh please Twilight Sparkle if your teacher couldn’t do anything to hurt me with her magic what makes you think you can even make me feel it?” he asked with a grin.

“You may have me, but my sister will stop you!” Celestia tiny voiced yelled making him look down at her.

“OH! That reminds me Luna you have a new roomie!” he yelled clicking his fingers making another cage pop out this one being a bird cage. Before Celestia could question anything she was teleported into the cage.

“What the?” she asked herself as she looked around that’s when she noticed something a figure sitting on the metal ring usually inside bird cages.

“Not.one.word.” The figure said from what looked like a beak but upon closer inspection it wasn't a beak it was a cone tied on with rubber bands.

“.....Luna?” Celestia said trying to hold in a laugh but failing miserably. Luna only glared but her but no one could blame her, Luna had a odd assortment of feathers on her body as if she was tared and feathered, and the beak had glitter all over it only making it funnier.

“Oh.....hahahaha! Oh that...!! that is...Rpicelss!” Celestia yelled as she began to roll on the ground laughing so hard she was crying. Luna only pouted with small tears in her eyes.

“Oh that is nothing to what I have in store for you, I think you will find it slightly worse.” Discords voice said with a chuckle.

“OH! I highly HIGHLY doubt that!” Celestia said as she laughed harder and harder, suddenly she was surrounded in a bright light again. She calmed down a little as she looked around that’s when she noticed something, her hooves where covered in some fabric light brown fabric. As she looked some more she noticed her whole body was covered in it. Luna was laughing so hard she fell off her perch rolling on the ground as she laughed some more.

“What did you do?” Celestia said in a worried tone.

“Never challenge me again when it comes to pranks my dear.” Discord said laughing as a click of his fingers where heard and a mirror appeared in front of Celestia. Her eyes shrunk to the size of dots as she looked into the mirror. beady eyes on the very top of the costumes head, partially opened mouth with a pink tongue just above the hole where Celestia's face was poking out of the weird shaped head noting that it had no tail. But the thing that stood out most was the name tag on it.

"Pedo all day, molestia all night?!” Celestia yelled as she tried her hardest to tear it off but to no avail as Discord was laughing so hard the cage they where in shook, Luna still laughing on the floor crying as she did.

“Perfect couple! Perfect couple!” Discord yelled as he laughed hard and long, crying as he did. At that moment he noticed the mane six looking at him with confusion.

“Oh...oh never mind.” he said laughing some more as a cup of chocolate milk poofed in front of him grinning as he ate the whole drink cup included.

“So anything else?” Discord said with a smile.

“What you mean?” Twilight asked worried.

“Anything else that needs to be covered before I plunge this world into chaos again? He said wickedly.

“We wont---

“Blah blah blah, I'm soo bored of this.” He said clicking his fingers making fog suddenly appear out of the ground.

“What are you doing this time!?” Rainbow Dash yelled as she looked into the fog.

“Ohhh nothing hehe.” he said his voice sounding weird.

“what are yo....” Rainbow Dash covered her mouth as she gave a yawn. Twilight looked behind her and noticed with horror that her friends were suddenly tired.

“What.....have..done?” Twilight asked with a yawn her eyes barely staying open. Twilight looked up and saw something that shook her to the core, standing their was Discord wearing a gas mask.

“nnnnno!” She screamed as tears began to run down her face. Discord only walked to the middle of the group.

“Ple..ase do what you want ….me but leave them out of this.” Twilight said sobbing as her legs finally gave out and she landed with a thud.

“...ah don't want to die....my sister will be alone and ah can't do that to her.” Applejack said tears starting to run down her face.

"My sister...oh my mama and papa would be devastated if they never heard from me again." Rarity said tears ruining her make up.

“My sister would never forgive me if I left her all alone.” Rarity said joining in on the crying herself not caring about her make-up.

“My poor little animals will wonder where I am.” Fluttershy said joining in on the group.

“I..I'm sorry I failed you guys, I'm so so sorry I should have tried harder.” Rainbow Dash said choking back tears. Pinkie Pie on the other hoof didn't cry, or felt scared. Something was off she had spent time with the spirit longer than the rest of them. The time they were in the maze was still very fresh on her mind. She remembered how he threw a party for himself to celebrate the fact he was free, that she only stumbled across it by pure accident. She smiled as she remembered how he acted, silly,care free , and happy. The thing that was shocking to her was the fact of how nice he was to her.

“He...he wouldn't hurt me...he wouldn't hurt us.” Pinkie Pie said looking over at Discord. He looked back and then looked over at the group rolling his eyes as if saying “Really?” Pinkie Pie smiled at him as she laid her head down on the ground smiling as she saw him walking over to the group and stood in front of Twilight looking down at her with a serious look in his eye.

“...You are such ....” He began to say as he bent down meeting her eyes. He reached over and Twilight froze in fear of what would happen next. Suddenly she felt a sharp pain at the tip of her nose, she yelped and saw Discord pinching the tip of her nose a little harshly.

“An egghead.” He said laughing. Twilight was about to say something but he gave her forehead a hard poke forcing her head down to the ground.

“Let me explain to ALL of you.” He said a little louder getting everypony's attention.

“If I wanted to kill you I wouldn't gas you, if I was going to go down that road id simply do it quick and fast like I don’t know a simple twist of the neck.” He said dully earning a few worried looks form the mares. Discord just sighed in annoyance once more.
“OK look ill just cut to the chase since no one here can listen, this is Sleeping Gas.” He said annoyed putting emphasis on the last two words as he swatted at the mist.

“Wai what?” Twilight asked a little drowsy.

“Sleeping gas as in gas that puts you to sleep, for somepony who reads and study’s a lot you sure are dim my dear.” Discord said with a chuckle. Twilight tried to yell at him for insulting her but her eyes got more and more heavy by the second. Discord smiled down at Twilight trying to fight to stay awake but was failing.

“Sleep you need your rest all of you do.” He said looking around noting that everypony was already asleep save for Twilight and Pinkie pie who was just looking at him with a smile.

“I....I will....stop you.....but I’m....I’m soo tired.” Twilight said looking up at him her eyes barely staying open.

“If your tired then sleep.” He said in a quite voice.

“.....I …..will....stop.....” Twilight couldn't finish her sentence as the battle for staying awake was lost and Discord smiled at his victory.

“Sleep my dear little ponies and when you wake up chaos will be all you know.” Discord said with a smile as the mane six laid there on the ground snoring peacefully. Discord chuckled quietly clicking his fingers making the gas disappear just as quick as it appeared. Once the gas was gone he removed his mask and smiled big as he looked around once more.

“Ahhh the clam before the storm, oh how I’m dying to see what they will say when they see how much more I will improve this boring world.” Discord said with a smile as he looked around the room most of his audience had left some time ago, the few remaining now sleeping soundly on the floor.

“What do you think jelly filled trees, or confetti filled flowers to start off?” He asked lifting his cage and looked into it and smiled at what he saw.

“Daww that is just adorable.” Discord said looking at the two princesses sleeping soundly on the ground snoring softly. Luna was sleeping on her side gently sucking on her hoof. Celestia was on her back murring to herself gently kicking at the air. Discord smiled as he clicked his fingers making a blanket appear above each princess covering them.

“Don't say I never did anything nice for you.” he said softly as he set the cage down on a pillar he made pop out of the ground.

“....Dissy....I missed.....you.” Luna said loud enough for him to hear as she snuggled into the blanket. Discord stood their quite for a few moments before smiling down at her.

“I missed you too my Little Moon.” He said with a smile as he used that nickname for the first time in so many years. He looked over at the mane six and smiled as he walked over to them. He clicked his fingers lifting the little ponies into the air making them all float close to him.

“Oh how I want to see the looks on your faces when you wake up hehe” He said clicking his fingers again and disappeared. He quickly reappeared in what looked like a bed room with books covering the walls and a telescope next to a nearby window, it took him less than a second to realize that this was the home of Twilight Sparkle. He smiled as he clicked his fingers using his magic to lift Twilight's limp body over to the bed and gently placed her down on it. He smiled at the snoozing pony before clicking his fingers again making him and the rest of the young mares disappear in a flash of light. One by one the Dragoneqiuus left the mares at their homes, leaving them in their beds. Fluttershy was next on the list, then Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and finally Pinkie Pie. He smiled as he laid her down.

“If only the others understood my chaos like you do my dear.” He said smiling down at her as he readied his fingers to click.

“.....I....I knew ...you....weren't....evil....Discord.” Pinkie Pie said quietly as she snuggled against her pillow. Discord stood their shocked for a second before letting his smile grow bigger.

“...Thank...you.” He said clicking his fingers making a mini cotton candy cloud appear next to her bed.

“Oh I know you and me will have some good times....and I can't wait for them.” He said quietly as he clicked his fingers again disappearing in a flash of light. He reappeared in the middle of ponyville grinning ear to ear as he looked around the town noting the lack of chaos. He chuckled as he clicked his fingers once more making the sky go dark. He grinned as he pulled out his umbrella.

“Looks like we might be due for a big ol storm of chaos HAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!!!” He laughed maniacally as he opened his umbrella making a quacking sound as pies and other assorted treats began to fall from the sky.

…....end of Discord TV...............

Discord stared at the TV in annoyance.

“Do I really sound like that?” He asked himself in a dull tone as he clicked his fingers making the TV go away.

"Also why did i give up on that drinking game? The author must of gotten tired of counting." Discord said with a slight chuckle. but his smile quickly faded as a pie landed on his head.

"Touchy." He said dully as he wiped the pie away eating some of it. He sat their annoyed as he gazed at the scenery and sighed sadly as he looked over at his kingdom once more.

“When did Chaos become...boring?” He asked himself as he slunked in his chair watching his chaos land before him.

Reflection

Another day another Chaos filled morning. The blue sun began to rise high above the newly named Ponyville “Discordopilos”. The castle stood in the middle of the park, it was a big castle that looked to be made out of random blocks each a different size and shape going up to the sky impossibly high. The inside of the house was like a maze, stairs going up but that where meant to go down. Railing that slithered from side to side, random pictures that moved on their own. Floating fishbowls, cotton candy palm trees, rubber cactus’s that quacked every few seconds.

The floor tiles shifted upward to the ceiling every other few seconds as tiny ponies in row boat passed by shouting Row!, Row!, Row! as they disappeared into the mismatched kitchen. The kitchen itself had an oven the size of a tiny box, as the melting wooden table sat on top of a bathtub with its shower head poking out of the table. The chairs where big and plush and moved around the room as if it had a life of their own. The stairs wind upwardish into a ceiling that had a submarine hatch there, past that lead to the most normal room of the whole mess you'd call a house.

The master bedroom had a big red rug on the ground it moving ever so slightly, the dresser had a twisted mirror, with the dresser itself having different colored drawers. The shower in to the side looked small but the inside of it was a full spa.
A pillar sat in the middle of the room holding the cage with the princesses in their sleeping soundly in mini beds they were given. The window looked to be made out of purple jam as the sun shined though it clearly. Discord laid in his bed that looked like a giant cupcake but as he shifted in his sleep it broke apart like it was made out of something extremely soft but not quite being a cloud. Discord purred peacefully in his sleep seeming to enjoy his dream quite a lot.

"Oh Celestia you naughty mare....mmm why yes Luna I'd love to have some of your tea.” He said snoring loudly.
"Now show daddy Discord some lov—ouch!” Discord yelled out as he felt something hit his head. He quickly sat up and looked around and saw a rock on his bed. He looked up and saw The two mini Princesses glaring at him.
"How dare you wake me up from my beauty sleep!” He yelled as he slithered over to the cage.
"And how dare you throw Toms little brother Mike!” He yelled as he glared down at them. They only returned the glare.
"You perv!” They yelled in union at him. He just blinked as he looked down at them for a moment before grinning.
"Hey can't blame me for dreaming I have no control over it.” Discord said with that toothy grin of his.

"You are so lying you big perv! And how dare you dream about me and my sister!” Celestia yelled at him.
"Look who’s calling who a perv! At least I didn't experiment with my own sister!” Discord shot back with a grin.
"We.....we....where tired! And......and it was the first time we had hard Cider--
"I thought I said we will never speak of that again!” Celestia yelled at her little sister.
"Wait how do you know about....that anyway?” Celestia asked looking up at the giant Discord.
"Oh I know a lot of things my dear.” Discord said with a smile. Celestia only growled at him.
“Not to mention when Luna wonders into others dreams, she gets a bit chatty.” Discord whispered chuckling a little bit.
“What was that?” Celestia asked glaring up at him.
“Oh nothing~” he said his grin never leaving his face.

"I'M HUNGRY!” Luna yelled out in her royal Canterlot voice making her sound normal to Discord but bringing pain to her older sisters ears.
"Ah! Luna not so loud!” Celestia yelled at her little sister. Luna just smiled at her sheepishly. Discord laughed as he clicked his fingers.
"NO WAIT!” Celestia yelled but it was too late as a bathtub worth of Spaghetti fell on them both burying them in it. Both the princesses heads popped out of the pile covered in spaghetti and tomato sauce.

"DISCORD! I AM GOING TO MMMPH!” Celestia couldn't finishes her sentence due to the fact Luna's hoof over her mouth. She shot a glare at her younger sister but then noticed she wasn't even looking at her. She fallowed her gaze and saw something she thought she would never see. Discord was standing near his window looking outside at his world and seemed....confused.
"Discord?” Luna asked getting his attention.
"What the food not good enough?” He asked not looking away from his window. Luna looked shocked at him, no witty remark, no prank, no insult, not even a smile. Luna wondered why he had such a sharp mood change. She slowly took her hoof off of Celestia and looked over to her older sister, she returned her worried expression.
"Why do you think he's acting so...clam?” Celestia whispered.

"I don't know....but it makes me...uneasy.” Luna whispered.
"I know dear sister the last thing we want right now on top of everything else...is a depressed Draconequus.” Celestia said firmly.
"Yes, no telling what he will do if he goes into a depression.” Luna said as she looked over at Discord a hint of sadness in her voice. Discord looked up over to them making them freeze in place.
"I'm heading out don't wait up.” He said dully as he walked over to his door.

"Umm sure we'll make sure you have a dinner to come home to dear.” Celestia said sarcasm heavy in her voice, but quickly covered her mouth, Luna just rolled her eyes as she face-hoofed Discord seemed to not have heard her as he opened the door and walked out closing it behind him.
"....OK now I’m scared.” Celestia said in a worried tone.
"Why?” Luna asked as she wiggled herself out of the mess of spaghetti.
"....he heard me say something snooty and didn’t do anything about it.” Celestia said as Luna began to help her out of the mess as well.

"He might not of heard you sister.” She said looking over at the spaghetti.
"He heard me, and another thing that bothers me.” Celestia said picking off bits of food here and there.
"What is that?” Luna asked as she bent her head down and sniffed the food and shrugged before taking a bite of it.
"When was the last time you saw him use a door?” Celestia asked looking intensely at the door
"I mmm don't....know..” Luna said as she continued to eat. Celestia looked at her sister and rolled her eyes.

"Have you no decency?” Celestia asked disgusted. Luna looked up and swallowed all of the food she had in her mouth before speaking.
"Fine no food for you then.” She said with a smile.
"....Move over.” Celestia said annoyed as she began to dig in as well.
"Oh! Tastes like honey!” Celestia said with glee as she eagerly began to eat some more. Luna smiled as she ate alongside her sister, but her mind quickly wondered back to Discord.
"What is going though your head my old friend.” Luna thought to herself as she continued to enjoy her meal.

.....Ponyville Discordopilos........

Discord walked around his kingdom bored. He noticed that this day was going to be another boring day. He walked up and down the checker colored streets he didn't feel like skating on the soap roads today. He clicked his fingers making pies fall from the sky landing with a quack.

"What is wrong with me?” Discord asked out loud annoyed. His question was met with silence making him angry.
"Why can't I enjoy myself!” Discord yelled out loud angrily. He was met with silence again. He sighed loudly as he began to walk.
"Wow never knew how...boring being alone can be.....oh wait of course I do.” Discord said angrily as he walked though his kingdom. He walked and walked around the chaotic landscape trying to enjoy his chaos but the empty streets made everything seem dead, the more he walked the more he felt alone, no ponies to terrorize, no birds, no other animals, not even an insect.

"I am alone.” He said quietly as he stopped walking noting that he stopped next to the fountain of what used to be water but now orange soda.
"....why do I fell so alone? It's my world I should feel happy.” Discord said angrily as he began to swirl his fingers in the soda images began to form in the sweet liquid. He smiled remembering the good old days...even though it was only a month into his rule, a month of none stop chaos.

....a Few weeks ago........

"EVERYPONY RUN! IT'S DISCORD!” A Red pony yelled out as she ran away from the laughing Draconequus as he clicked his fingers making random things appear.
"Have some pies!” He yelled as pies with wings on them began to chase random ponies making them flee in terror.
"Have some flowers!” He said happily as he snapped his fingers making the nearby flowers came to life and started to chase some more ponies spraying chocolate milk at them. He laughed with joy as ponies of all shapes and sizes ran from him and his chaos.
"Oh what a wonderful day!” Discord yelled happily. 3 days have passed since his rule began and he was having the time of his life.

"Discord!” A voice yelled angrily. Discord stopped in his tracks and grinned.
"Let me guess.....Twilight Sparkle?” He said with a smile as he turned around to see the purple unicorn glaring at him, it was at that moment that he noticed she was not alone.
"Ah and the rest of the Mane Six!” he said happily as he sat down on nearby fence begin careful of the spikes with a big smile on his face.
"Wipe that smile off you face or I'll buck it off!” Rainbow Dash yelled angrily as she fly up to him and was face to face with him. He only smiled more as he suddenly kissed her snout. Rainbow Dash backed off in surprise blushing as she did.
"Is it really that easy to make the great Rainbow Dash blush?” He snickered as he watched her boil under her mane as he stood in front of the fence.

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!” Rainbow Dash yelled as she ran at him at full speed he looked at her in surprise and fear. He quickly raised his hand ready to click his fingers but it was too late. Rainbow Dash smiled as her hoof connected with his jaw but quickly turned to horror as his head spun all the way around his neck making a sickening snapping sound.

The mane six screamed in fear as he stood there his head facing the other way before falling to the ground twitching slightly. Discord's eyes glazed over leaving a horrified expression on his face, Pinkie began to tear up it was the same expression he had the first time they supposedly sealed him away. Rainbow Dash stood there with a horrified look on her face.
"Wha---
"I DID'NT MEAN TOO!” Rainbow Dash yelled in a panic as she looked around at her friends, her heart bounding in her ears, her mind racing with so many thoughts at once she felt the whole world shake around her.
"Ohmygosh,ohmygosh,ohmygosh!” Rainbow Dash yelled in panic looking around in horror.
"What should we do?” Fluttershy asked her whole body looking white as snow. She couldn’t think of anything else to say her whole body felt numb. Applejack looked over at her friend the embodiment of kindness and slowly put a hoof on her shoulder making her jerk to one side as she looked over at Applejack. She knew that no matter how evil a creature was Fluttershy never wanted to see anything hurt much less killed.

"Ah'm mighty sorry sugarcube.” Applejack said as she pulled off her hat as she looked down at the ground some tears escaping. Pinkie Pie looked down at him and suddenly looked very angry.
"That’s such a mean thing to do.” Pinkie Pie said quietly as she glared at the body. Twilight stayed quite not knowing how to feel or act, they accomplished their mission to stop Discord but...not like this to her it felt wrong just wrong.
"....what I miss?” A voice asked from behind them.
"Oh I’m so so sorry!” Rainbow Dash yelled as she sobbed some more. Suddenly a loud crunch was heard making them all turn around. Standing there as if nothing happened or was wrong was Discord happily munching on some popcorn.
"Popcorn?” He asked with a grin.

"Discord!?” Rainbow Dash yelled in shock she quickly looked behind her only to see the Discord on the ground deflate like some cheap balloon. Rainbow Dash looked back at the remaining Discord with pure fury in her eyes she opened her mouth to say something but before she could fling some well deserved insults to the Draconequus a yellow blur zoomed past her.

Discord blinked in surprise as Fluttershy flew at him at full speed only stopping just in time from crashing into him but still being so close to him that he felt the heat of her body but what shocked him the most was her eyes, her eyes were filled with pure hatred.
"You...you...YOU BIG DUMB MEANY!” Fluttershy yelled at the top of her lungs at him. Discord just stood there as still as he could terrified at her sudden change of attitude, and he swore he saw steam coming out of her ears.

"HOW DARE YOU!” Fluttershy yelled again this time making him back off a little but she didn't give him an inch of space every time her stepped back and created a gab she quickly closed it.
"I---
"SHUT UP!” Fluttershy yelled again making Discord recoil in fear.
"Wow I forgot how scary she can be when she's mad.” Discord thought to himself as he watched her with awe, horrified but awed none the less. Failing to notice that she was still talking..well more yelling.

"Wow I wonder how she will act if I corrupted her when she was like this?” He asked himself as she continued to talk. At that moment he noticed something that made all of his fur stand on end, he had been tuning her out the entire time. He began to panic more this Fluttershy in front of him wasn't the shy pony he saw before, this made a Manticore seem harmless as a new born kitten and the last thing he wanted was to make her attack him.

"Well what do you have to say?!” Fluttershy said angrily as she stared daggers at him.
"...Crap....she asked me something....what should I do?!” Discord thought in a panic noticing the look in her eyes.
"Nod! Nod damn you!” Discord said nodding his head rapidly.
"Why are you nodding? Did you even hear anything I said!?” Fluttershy yelled again.
"Crap! Think! Think! Think!” Discord thought some more as Fluttershy got more and more angry, suddenly a thought popped into his head making him smile.
"What are you smile—oh my.” Fluttershy said as she looked at the orange flower Discord just pulled out of nowhere.

"Is...is that...f...f... for me?” Fluttershy asked blushing slightly as her rage completely disappearing Discord nodded with a smile.
"...why...thank..y...you” Fluttershy said as she reached for the flower.
"Fluttershy don't!” Twilight yelled but it was too late the moment Fluttershy touched the flower she and the flower disappeared in a flash of light.
"Wow did I dodge a arrow there or what?” Discord said wiping his brow before turning to the rest of the group grinning at them.
"What did you do to Fluttershy?!” Rainbow Dash yelled as she flu up getting up to his face again.

"Do you want another kiss? I bet you do if you didn't you wouldn't be this close to me am I right?” Discord asked with a grin as he saw her quickly back off covering her muzzle blushing slightly.
"What did you do to Fluttershy answer me now!” Twilight yelled angrily making the spirit frown.
"Why how rude no need to yell miss Sparkle, I simply teleported her away.” He said dully as he pulled out a bag of pop corn out of thin air and began to munch on some.
"Where?!” Twilight yelled again her horn glowing again This made the sprite roll his eyes in annoyance.
"Really Twi? I--

"Only my friends have the right to shorten my name like that!” Twilight yelled angrily making her friends around her back off a little.
"As I was saying Twi or maybe Twily? You---” Discord didn’t finish his sentence as Twilight yelled angrily as she shot a beam at him. He rolled his eyes as he put his lion hand up the beam hitting it seconds later. Twilight growled angrily as Discord simply canceled it out turning it into smoke.

"Really Twilight? You're so quick to fire you didn't even let me finish my sentence.” Discord said annoyed. Twilight's horn began to glow again ready to attack but to her and Discords surprise Pinkie Pie put a hoof on her shoulder.
"You know if you let him finish we would get more answers.” Pinkie Pie said with a smile. This brought a smile to Discords face as he saw the look of pure shock on Twilight's and the rest of her friends faces.
"Finally the sensible one of the group speaks!” Discord yelled as he clapped his hands together.

"Pinkie who's side are you on!” Rainbow Dash yelled angrily at her. Discord noticed how Pinkie looked down suddenly, oh how he hated to see her upset but he still couldn't figure out why.
"Well its only to help out everypony it would be faster if we let him finish.” Pinkie Pie said with a sheepish smile.
"Thank you Pinkie as I was saying before I was Rudely interrupted.” Discord said with a grin earning a growl from Twilight.
“I simply teleported our dear Fluttershy away but to where is anypony's guess.” He said with a grin.
“Discord if you hurt her in any way I swear I----

“Blah blah blah honestly I’m going to start charging you a bit every time I have to explain this.” Discord said annoyed.
"I don't know if you five have noticed but I do prefer less physically painful chaotic deeds in fact the first thing I told you and Celestia was that “I do NOT turn. Ponies into stone.”. Discord said making a glass a chocolate milk appear in mid air.
“I thought hurting them was included in my statement, but I guess I wasn't clear enough for ponies as dim as you five.” Discord said as he tossed the cup away behind him making it explode confetti making Pinkie pie giggle.
“Wait us five? Even if Fluttershy isn’t here we are still together!” Twilight said with pride.
“Yes I know.” Discord said with a smile.

“Then why are you saying only five of us are here?” Twilight asked just about fed up with the spirits games.
“I never said five ponies who were here, I said five that are where here, five of you ponies that are quite dim.” Discord said with a smile as they realized he was insulting them.
“And let me guess who is the one that you don't find dim.” Twilight said annoyed as she looked over at Pinkie Pie.
“Well it's obvious she's the only one who is smart enough to know what I am talking about and not to mention she's the one who likes this.” He said waving his hands at the scenery behind him.

“She does not like this!” Rainbow Dash yelled getting in Discords face again but quickly backed off remembering the events that happened before that and the fact her was puckering up his lips at her. Pinkie Pie stepped forth looking really nervous at something.
“actually girls....I don’t find this that bad.” Pinkie Pie said with a smile. The rest of her friends stared at her in complete shock.
“Pinkie...you ...you can't be serious.” Rainbow Dash asked picking up her jar form the ground.

“I....I am.” Pinkie Pie said nervously, immediately her friends began to yell at her. Discord stood back watching the whole scene it looked so familiar to him. He remembered this scene so clearly this was the same as when Twilight was the one on the receiving end and he enjoyed that. However this scene, he didn’t like it at all and he hated that, why did he hate seeing the pink pony sad? They continued yelling at her

Don’t be stupid!
you're so naive!
you're crazy!
stop acting so childish!
why can't you ever be normal?!
That was the last straw as Discord clicked his fingers magically zipping their mouths closed.
“And what is wrong with being abnormal?” Discord asked bitterly as he looked down at the ponies who tried desperately to open their mouths but failed.
“Discord that wasn't very nice.” Pinkie Pie said pouting. Discord looked over at her and grinned.

“Not very nice? My dear your friends are the not very nice ones here.” Discord said with a smile. Pinkie looked over at her friends and sighed.
“Yeah your right they were very rude.” Pinkie Pie said earning angry grunts from her friends.
“But still that’s mean!” Pinkie Pie said with a pout as she looked over at Discord. Discord chuckled.
“Oh my dear it will wear off in a few moments, just thought we could get some quite time.” Discord said with a smile.
“Oh okie dokie lokie!” Pinkie Pie said happily making Discord laugh.

“My dear you truly are one of a kind, like me!” Discord said throwing his hands out in a dramatic way making Pinkie giggle.
“So my dear care to elaborate on what you mean by “not that bad?” it better not be my looks because we all know I am drop dead gorgeous.” Discord said putting a finger on his flank making his hiss as if touching something hot. Pinkie burst out into a laugh making her roll on the ground. Discord smiled down at her then at her friends and grinned at the look of shock on their faces, how he loved that face. Pinkie Pie giggled and snorted for a good few minutes before calming down a little.

“Well my dear? Don’t keep us in suspense.” Discord said as he threw a hand full of popcorn into his mouth munching on it. Pinkie stood up and smiled at him.
“Like I said this really isn’t all that bad.” Pinkie said with a smile.
“HOW!?” Twilight yelled angrily but then covered her mouth with her hooves obviously shocked and embarrassed at how loud her question came out. Discord snickered at Twilight earning a glare from her as she opened up her mouth to say something. He raised his hand again ready to click his fingers, Twilight quickly shut her mouth earning a giggle from Pinkie Pie.

“Continue dear I want to know.” Discord said with a grin.
“Well duh it's so much fun! Look at the colors, candy, balloons and streamers! It's like one giant Party!” Pinkie Pie said as she hopped around eagerly. Discord smiled as he suddenly reached out and grabbed her lifting her up making her eep as he did.
“Hahhaha! Finally somepony who understands me!” Discord yelled happily laughing as he spun Pinkie Pie around making her scream in surprised joy. The others just stared in shock at the two, Twilight was grinding her teeth angrily as she watched her friend the element of laughter laughing with the spirit of chaos. After a while Discord let go of her, as Pinkie Pie came to a stop she rolled on the ground laughing as she did. Discord looked down at her grinning as he did. He couldn’t remember the last time his cheeks hurt from smiling and grinning and he liked that.

“Oh my dear you are truly different from anypony I have ever met.” Discord said with a smile. Pinkie Pie shot up to her feet and looked up at him her smile never leaving her face.
“Well duh! Everypony is different! No one is the same!” Pinkie Pie said as she hopped around her laughter never once breaking. Discord looked at her with a smile.
“If only others thought the same as you.” Discord said bitterly under his breath remembering his past. Pinkie Pie stopped in her tracks and looked at him a hint of sadness in her eyes.
“You never had any friends growing up did you?” She asked her eyes clearing showing how hurt she was.

“.....never needed them.” Discord said bitterly, it was clear that Pinkie hit a nerve as he shifted uneasily. The others began to talk with each other whispering, Discord hated gossip especially if it was about him. He was about to take away their mouths away again but Pinkie walking over to him stopped him.
“Everypony needs friend no matter how big, scary, or strong we all need someone to talk to.” Pinkie Pie said happily.
“Nope.” Discord said sounding exactly like Applejack’s big brother as he turned around not looking at her.

“Acquaintance?” Pinkie Pie said hopping next to him trying to get him to look at her.
“....nope.” Discord said looking down at her.
“OK....how about...chaotic partnership?” Pinkie Pie asked with as smile. Discord looked down at her with a grin.
“I like that, does this mean you're taking my offer?” Discord said getting down to eye level.
“Offer?” Pinkie Pie asked looking up at him.
“The offer I made to you in the maze my dear.” Discord said as her circled her like a snake.

“What offer?!” Twilight asked loudly as she stepped between Pinkie and Discord. Discord snorted in annoyance as he backed off a little.
“Why my dear Twilight the offer I made her was simple.” Discord said his smile turning into a evil grin as he talked.
“And that is?” Twilight hissed at him getting close to his face growling a little.
“To be my chaotic partner in crime.” Discord said with a devious grin as pushed his face against hers.
“She will never accept that!” Twilight hissed angrily at him. Discord smiled as he flicked his forked tongue out like the part snake he was.

“Well I think that is her choice not yours.” Discord said before poking her forehead a bit harshly making her back off. Twilight's horn flared to life ready to strike before Pinkie stepped in.
“....why do you want me to go with you?” Pinkie Pie asked looking up at him. Discord only smiled down at her.
“Why it's quite simple you are obviously a mare of much better humor than the rest of them are you not?” He asked as he eyed her making her blush slightly.
“I'm sure that somepony like you not only likes this chaos, my chaos but has a place for appreciation in their heart.” He said as he got down to eye level with her grinning. Pinkie Pie looked away and smiled.

“OK maybe I do, but that doesn’t answer my question.” she said ignoring the outbursts of her friends.
“It's simple my dear I maybe chaos incarnate but even my imagination has its limits.” he said dully.
“Pinkie would never help you!” Twilight yelled angrily. Discord looked at her and grinned while pinkie pie looked away from her.
“...Pinkie no, tell me you didn’t.” Twilight asked her eyes along with the others pleading.
“Who do you think came up with the soapy road? Or the dancing buffalo? Or turning the floor into a checkerboard that was different flavors?” Discord said with a evil grin. Twilight and the others looked over at Pinkie Pie both in shock and anger who looked at them in fear. But to everypony's shock Discord stepped in between them and Pinkie pie.
“Hmmm strange why did I do that?” Discord thought to himself as he looked down at the pink pony. The mane five at the moment looked at him wondering what will he do next, he just smiled.

“Yes my dear little ponies she helped me with a few ideas and I’m here right now extending my offer again.” Discord said as he turned to look at her.
“Do you accept? You turned it down the first time, there will not be a third time my dear.” Discord said with a grin.
“Why? It can't just be my imagination.” Pinkie Pie said looking up at him as if trying to read him like a book. Discord looked down at her and sighed.
“I don’t know maybe it would be nice to have a companion tag along at least once.” Discord said dully as he gave a shrug.
“A companion? Have you been talking to The Doctor?” Pinkie Pie asked with a giggle.

“The what?” Discord asked looking down at her in confusion. Pinkie Pie just giggled at him making him angrily as he turned to leave but to his shock he felt a pair of hoofs on his lion paw.
“Hold on Mr. Grumpy.” Pinkie Pie said with a smile tugging on his paw.
“I never said no.” She said her smile warm and sweet. Discord looked back at her grinning.
“So shall we my dear?” Discord asked as he extended his paw out to her. Pinkie smiled as she walked up to him and took his paw. He wrapped his paw around her hoofs and spins her around laughing as he did.
“Oh the fun we will have! Chaos times two! HAHAHAHA!” Discord laughed as he spun her around. Pinkie Pie laughed as she was spun around. He stopped spinning her around and slowly turned to look at her friends. Looks of shock and horror covered their faces. the look on their faces is something he knew he would cherish forever.

“Come on my dear we have chaos to spread!” Discord yelled as he walked off pulling her along with him. She smiled as she walked with him but stopped making him look back at her. She ran back to her friends, Discord was confused for a moment as Pinkie Pie ran up to Twilight and whispered something into her ear.
“Pinkie you can't be serious.” Twilight said as she looked at her in confusion. Pinkie smiled as she nodded before dashing back to Discord.
“What was that about my dear?” Discord asked as he looked down at her as she trotted happily next to him.

“Oh nothing~” Pinkie Pie said in a sing along voice. Discord smiled as he snapped his fingers making a upside down umbrella appear.
“Shall we?” He asked as he stepped into it offering his paw. Pinkie Pie giggled as she jumped in with him.
“YES!” Pinkie Pie yelled happily. Discord grinned at he looked over at the rest of the elements, the look of despair was priceless he knew he won this day and that they will never forget it. He looked down at the pink pony and he knew he would never forgot this day ether.
“Onward to Chaos!” Discord yelled happily as he clicked his fingers and they took off in a jet of popcorn as they flew away on the umbrella.
“Oh this day just keeps getting better and better! HAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!” Discords voice boomed as they sailed away.
….....................................................

Discord sighed as he stopped swirling the liquid making the images stop. Discord watched sadly as the images disappeared.
“If only you would of accepted the chaos, accepted me things might have been different.” Discord whispered. Suddenly Pinkie Pie's face appeared in the liquid, Discord sighed as he splashed the soda trying to get rid of it but it didn’t go away.
“Why won't you---

“Hello Discord.” a voice said from behind him, he let out a girly scream as he jumped into the fountain in a panic. Giggles where heard as Discord's head popped out of the soda, a chocolate goldfish on his head.
“Don't do tha---oh it's you.” Discord said as he stepped out of the fountain. Pinkie Pie smiled as she looked at him, Discord didn’t smile back though.
“So how's your day going?” Pinkie Pie asked her voice cheerful by tired. Discord looked down at her and noticed she was wearing her saddle bags obviously holding something.
“Oh same old same old, just another wonderful day in my kingdom.” Discord said dully as he looked around putting on a smile as he did, Pinkie knew that smile was fake and it made her sad to see him like this.
“It didn’t look like you where having a wonderful day.” Pinkie Pie said her voice warm and sweet. Discord hated her voice slightly growling at her.
“Like you would care.” He hissed at her.

“Discord don't be like that.” Pinkie Pie said as she walked up to him still smiling.
“What do you want?” Discord asked slightly annoyed trying to avoid eye contact with her.
“Can't a friend come over and say hi?” Pinkie Pie asked as she smiled up at him. he growled as he shot a glare at her.
“We are not friends you made that very clear.” Discord said trying to hid his anger but his glare told her how angry he was. Pinkie Pie looked up at him with sad eyes.
"Discord please don't be like this." she said lightly taping his lion paw only for him to jerk away from her. she sighed sadly as she closed the gap between them that he made.
“Discord you know----

“Save it, now if you excuse me I got chaos to reek.” Discord said angrily cutting her off as he flapped his wings and began to float away. Pinkie Pie looked down at the ground sniffling a little. Discord looked on he wanted to smerk but for some reason he still hated to see her sad. and the question that kept coming up was "why?". why did he care about anything other than his chaos. she sniffled a bit more before rubbing her face, to his shock she looked up at him with a smile.

“Discord I hope you can find it in your heart to listen to me one day.” Pinkie Pie said getting his full attention.
“Why should I?” Discord hissed as he continued glaring at her. Pinkie Pie just smiled as she began to walk away from him, he saw a tiny tear in the corner of her eye as she turned.
“It was nice seeing you again Discord I hope one day you really do listen to what I said.” She said as she made her way home leaving Discord all alone. Discord hissed at her while still glaring at her.

“Like I ever would!” He yelled at her but she just continued walking away until she disappeared from sight. Discord hissed angrily as he took off flying. the mismatched god flew though the sky every cloud he came upon was disposed of as he slammed his balled up hands into them. he used his tail to destroy a few that he missed. he grabbed and tossed them at each other causing some of them to turn black and shoot thunder. he was furious and he didn't know why, and that made him even more angry.

“How dare she tell me what to do! The nerve of her!” Discord yelled as he destroyed a few more clouds as he flew. he huffed and growled as he suddenly stopped flying, he took a deep breath.
"Ok Discord calm down, this is not like you at all." he said as he sighed a bit more relaxed. he continued to float their until he saw a nice fluffy cloud out of the corner of his eye. He sighed as he flew to it and landed on it with a honk. he coiled around himself and snorted.
“Stupid mare, like I would ever give up my chaos.” he said angrily as he swirled his fingers though the cloud. He sighed some more as he floated aimlessly though the sky. Every few moments something random happening in the background as he floated.
"Come on think Discord." he thought to himself.
"What's changed that makes you feel different from the last time you ruled?" he asked himself as he snorted again as he began to list the things.

he got free, he beat the elements once and then gained the upper hand. he made sure the elements where gone for good, he made sure the rulers of Equestria where out of the way and even his playthings. The Element holders have all but disbanded from what he's seen. armies dared not take arms against him. The world was too scared to face him and he knew he had won, and yet he felt....empty inside. "Why" was the question that he had been asking himself for a while now. was he bored? did a world without any threats to him not worth having? was losing the only one he considered a friend--

"Friend." he said quietly as he closed his eyes, he quickly shook his head as images flooded his mind. he hated those images of him and her laughing and playing, how he laughed and smiled and how she laughed and smiled.....at him. he hissed as he punched the cloud making it thunder violently.
"Stupid mare! what did you do to me!?" he yelled angrily as he again slammed his fist against it making it shoot lightning this time. he hissed angrily as the last time they had seen each other as friends.

"No! I refuse to remember that day." he said angrily as he flopped to his belly digging his head into it.
"Stupid mare, stupid Celestia, Stupid Luna, Stupid everything!" he hissed again, suddenly something tapped him on his dragon's foot. he glanced up and saw a pie with wings was rubbing up against him. he sighed as he kicked it away making it explode as it hit a nearby tree. he chuckled as the tree was blown to pieces.

"I needed that." he said as he gazed at the slightly more destructive nature of chaos at work. He frowned as he gazed at the small crater a small fire spreading slowly around it. he continued to stare as the fire engulfed a nearby tree setting it ablaze quickly. the fire continued to spread. he stared at it.

Fire was by far the most beautiful of all chaos, it didn't choose sides. it had no friends, it was beautiful yet deadly. it could be used to save a town in the middle of the harshest winter, or it could be used to turn it to ashes. it was neither good nor evil, it was....balanced....it was perfect. his thoughts where interrupted by the crackling of fire, it had spread to two other trees and continued to grow. he sighed as looked at the fire, if there was one thing he wish he didn't feel at the moment it was now....Envy.

"I need to control myself better." he said angrily as he clicked his fingers making it rain chocolate milk on it. he cringed slightly, even now he had a bit of a hard time enjoying his milk. he sighed sadly at the fire died down, he never did like destroying something beautiful.

After the fire was put out he sighed as he turned and laid on his back. He sighed some more as he stared up at the purple sky, the stars showing brightly even though it was the middle of the day. he snorted angrily as Pinkie popped back into his mind.
"What does she know? She's just a stupid mare." Discord hissed as he looked up into the sky and to his dismay a silhouette of Pinkie Pie formed in the stars.
"I'm going to get back at Luna for that." he grumbled angrily as he closed his eyes as he floated though his kingdom of chaos. His kingdom to rule...all alone.

The blue sun continued to float in the sky as Discord continued to float aimlessly across the sky. His mind was a bit more relaxed watching the chaos unfold around him. He chuckled at a few random things here and there. Floating pieces of Jell-O that would pop into brownies, a giant T-Rex playing banjo on a hovering mountain, even the stars started to argue over who was shiniest. But after a while even they began to lose their humor to him. He sighed as he looked up annoyed.
"What’s the point of all of this chaos if I can't torment anything with it?" he said with a pout, he hated the fact that every living thing had abandoned him and his world. Sure he knew where they were but he didn't want to look desperate. He glanced over and saw a huge forest. He knew that forest very well, he had spent a good portion of his life in it and he hated it.

"....Yeah not going in there, don't need to visit home sweet home." he said annoyed rolling his eyes at the fact some ponies had fled into that forsaken forest. A thought had popped into his head with a quack. What on earth where they doing? Didn't they know how dangerous it was in their? I mean sure he was more dangerous than anything else in that forest, but the difference was that he wouldn't hurt them the way the beasts that dwelled in it would. He continued to stare for a moment before he sighed.
"Eh, not my problem, if they want to play roulette with their life's I'll let them." he said coldly with another roll of his eyes as he floated by it. He sighed as he floated around the sky bored out of his skull not caring where he went. After another few moments of floating around he glanced up again and saw he was at the edge of Ponyville again.

"Maybe I should go to Canterlot." Discord said as he thought about what would happen if he did but felt too lazy to do anything. He sighed as he looked up into the sky glade that the stars no longer taunted him. He stayed staring up at the sky for what felt like hours. He then ran his claw around in random motions. Swirls and shapes began to form in the sky as if it was his canvas as he continued to draw something random. He grinned as he let his artistic side show. That was until the moon suddenly popped out covering the world in darkness much to his annoyance, he was about to finish his drawing of
Celestia being attacked by a giant spider.
“Ahhh!” a voice yelled fallowed by a crash. Discord shot up looking around for the source of the scream, it sounded like it belonged to a female. He groaned slightly last thing he needed was to see his so called friend. He peaked his head over the cloud hesitantly; he squinted trying to make out a small blob moving away from a broken candy cane. He clicked his fingers making the sun come out again, he grinned at what he saw. Running around on his short legs was a small purple dragon with what looked like a paper bag in his arms. Discord stared at him, his eyes suddenly turning into slits as if his dragon side saw a tasty treat.

“Well, well, well looks like somedragon is lost, hehe.” he grinned evilly as he stood he flapped his wings and walked off his cloud and slowly began to float down to the ground. He grinned some more as he stood there for a moment unnoticed before laying down on the ground and slithered closer to the small dragon trying his best to not alert him of his presence.
“Being part snake has its advantages.” Discord said quietly as he hissed a little. The small dragon stopped in his tracks and looked behind him, nothing was there but a candy cane. He shrugged as he turned and jogged away again. Discord poked his head out from behind the candy cane as he looked on with a grin as he flicked his tongue out at him. He gave the candy cane a quick lick before he got down on his belly and began to slither his way to the small dragon. He got closer and closer with each passing moment, he slithered so close to the small dragon he could practically touch him. He grinned as he moved his mouth closer to his ear. He took a deep breath and exhaled gently and slowly letting out a small growl, the dragon stopped dead in his tracks. the small dragon gulped as he shook a little.
"He...hello?" he said slowly turning around.

“Hello.” Discord said in a deep voice into the young dragon’s ears. The dragon jumped up his arms and legs flaying around nearly tossing the bag as he screamed at the top of his lungs a very girly high pitched scream echoing across the land. Discord fell backward and laughed as he rolled on the ground holding his sides. The small dragon covered his mouth as he landed on the ground.
“Priceless!” Discord yelled as he laughed loudly rolling around on the ground laughing so hard he was crying. It took the small dragon a few moments before he swallowed loudly, his eyes darting between the paper bag and the laughing Discord.
“Discord?!” the small dragon finally yelled in fear after a few moments of being in shock. Discord stopped laughing and looked up with a grin.
“Yes the one and only! And you are Spike Miss Sparkles pet if I'm not mistaken.” he said with a grin as the fear in the small dragon suddenly turned into anger.
“That's number one assistant!” he hissed at the mismatched creature. Discord smiled as the small dragon growled at him a little.

“Awww that's cute, you're trying to be intimidating.” he snickered as he stood up, what bravery the small dragon had vanished the moment Discord stood up towering over him. Discord smiled as he petted Spikes head and grinned down at him
“So what is my little dragon up too?” Discord asked as he slithered around him as he continued to pet him.
“Nothing!” Spike said slapping his paw away as he tried to back away only to be stopped by Discords tail.
“Oh really? Are you sure? If you're not up to something then maybe we could do something just you and me.” Discord grinned as he wrapped his lion arm around Spike pulling him closer. Spike looked up worriedly at Discord and began to sweat as Discord rubbed his head.
“Just you and me, all alone with no one around to rain on our fun together~” Discord whispered as he ran a claw under the small dragons chin grinning down at him.
“Uhhh! Uuuh!! I need an adult! I need an adult!” Spike yelled trying to back away from Discord.
“I am an adult.” Discord said with a grin as he suddenly lifted spike by his tail. Spike yelped as he hung defenselessly in the air holding the paper bag close to his chest. Discord smiled down at the small dragon.

“Boy you are tense to need to...Relax!” Discord yelled as he threw spike in a random direction. Spike closed his eyes expecting to hit something hard but they shot open when he hit something soft and bouncy. He looked up and saw he was in the purple bouncy house floating above the ground slightly.
“See isn't this better?!” Discord yelled happily as he dived in making the whole house shake violently sending spike up into the air again before he landed face first into the bouncy house, he accidentally bit into the house and was shocked at the sweet taste that touched his tongue encouraging him to chew it a little.
“Jell-O?” he asked noting the lime taste. Discord snickered as he got a chunk of it and tossed it into his mouth. The house itself never losing its bounciness or shape.
“Of course what else would be made out of?” Discord grinned as he jumped up and down in the house. Spike just stared at him, a small smile began to creep onto his face but he quickly slapped himself mentally.
“I don't have time for this!” Spike said angrily as he tried to climb out only to have two hands grab him and pull him back.
“Oh what could be more important than getting the chance to hang out with me?” Discord asked with a grin as he held spike up like a little doll. Spike stared at Discord annoyed at the fact of being held like a small doll.

“Watching paint dry.” Spike said in a deadpan tone. Discord frowned as he let go of the small dragon. Spike fell through the house as if it was a cloud and fell to the ground with a hard thud. He groaned as he held his head.
“Oww—shoot is it ok!?” Spike thought to himself as he quickly looked inside the bag and sighed in relief.
“My my you are bold to talk back like that to me.” Discord said getting Spike's attention. Spike turned and looked back at Discord; he was glaring down at the small dragon making him nervous. Before spike could react Discord clicked his fingers making spike scream as he suddenly found himself on a pair of stilts wearing a jester hat high above the ground, a cloud slowly passing by him.
“Ahhh! Stop it!” Spike yelled in a panic, Discord laughed as flew up to him grinning.
“Why~? It's so much fun to see you like this.” Discord said with a laugh as Spike desperately tried to stay stable.
“Please stop!” Spike cried out as he held on to dear life as he lost one of the stilts still holding onto the paper bag. Discord smiled as he clicked his fingers making another hat appear on spikes head this one being a party hat with googly eyes. Spike looked down and almost lost his lunch as he saw how far up he was. Every movement he made the stilt shook violently.

“Why? I'm having so much fun!” Discord yelled with glee. Spike closed his eyes tightly as he felt tears start to poke the back of his eyes. Discord stopped laughing as he saw a few tears of fear leak out of the dragon’s eyes.
"Oh stop being such a cry baby." Discord said with a grin as he poked spikes head roughly making his eyes shoot open as he felt himself being tipped over.
"NONONONNONO! Ahhhhh! Help!” Spike yelled as he fell over the stilts disappearing the moment he let go of it, he looked down and saw the ground rapidly approaching. The air around him rapidly whistling past him.
"I guess this is how it ends." Spike said crying a bit as he closed his eyes waiting for the end to come. A bright flash on the ground appeared and Discord stood there with a grin.
"Oh no! Whatever will I do?" Discord said mimicking Rarity's "Worst possible thing ever" dramatic voice and stance.
Discord grinned as he clicked his fingers again making a little trampoline appear. Spike opened his eyes to see the trampoline just in time and landed on it only for it to explode like a balloon covering him in feathers and cotton candy bouncing him up a bit before he fell to the ground with a thud. Discord laughed as he watched the small dragon try to pull himself out of the mess that was holding him to the ground. Spike coughed and sneezed as he tried to get free from the mess.
“Stop it! It's not funny you big bully!” Spike yelled as he pulled himself out coughing a little, still trying to get the mess off of him.

“Oh hahahah your too serious my boy.” Discord said with a grin as he pulled out a firefighter’s hat out of nowhere. Spike cleaned his eyes and saw Discord standing there with the hat and a fire hose that was sticking out of a cloud.
“Wait what are you---NO NO!” Spike yelled as Discord gave him an evil grin. Discord laughed as he opened fire hosing down the small dragon. Spike splashed around on the ground as Discord hosed him down making the mess go away, but still very much angry at the situation. After a few moments Discord stopped laughing and turned off the hose, he grinned as he looked at a soggy spike slowly getting up from the wet ground.
“See.” he said as he walked over to the small dragon, he chuckled at how soaked he was and tossed the hose away making it explode in a cloud of confetti as he pulled out a giant fan and turned it on just as spike was getting back on his feet. He was pushed back down forcefully by the fans power. Spike screamed angrily at Discord as he was being dried by the force of a tornado. Discord continued this for a few more seconds before he turned off the fan and tossed it away making it fly away into the sun set.

“All better~.” Discord said clapping his hands together as his eyes sparkled, at that moment he noticed the paper bag at his feet. His curiosity peaking he reached down and picked it up. Spike stood up a little groggy and looked around the world slightly out of focus. He panicked as he saw the bag in Discords hands the moment the world went back into focus.
“Hmm what's this?” Discord asked as he began to open it, but had it snatched away from him before he could look inside. He looked up annoyed at the small dragon holding onto it as if it was a precious gem, for all Discord knew it was a gem.
“None of your business!” Spike yelled angrily holding it close to his chest, noting how shiny he was. Discord walked over to the small dragon and looked down at him glaring at Spike.

“Oh really? What makes you say it's not? This is my world now so everything and anything in it is my business.” he said as he stepped forth grinning evilly, Spike took a step back gulping. The fear in his eyes made Discord smile how he missed tormenting someone.
“Back off I said!” Spike hissed angrily but Discord could see the fear welling up inside of him. He grinned as he slammed his dragon foot on the ground, Spike yelped as he turned to run away but to his dismay he felt a tug on his leg and fell forward landing on the bag. The loud crunch was heard and spike quickly got off of it, purple liquid began to leak out of the bag. Spikes face was a mix of horror and shock as his eyes where as wide as dinner plates as his mouth hung open in shock. Discord looked at the scene his eyes going puppy dog like.

“Opsie I guess it really wasn't my business ahahahaha!” Discord laughed as he held his sides enjoying the look on the dragons face. Any innocence gone like a puff of smoke as he laughed. Oh how good it felt to torment someone again. Spike looked back briefly and noticed Discords tail was where he stepped. It took less than a second to figure out that Discord had tripped him making him break whatever was in the bag. Discord continued laughing enjoying the feel of finally making someone else miserable, but stopped when he heard...soft crying. He blinked for a moment before looking over in the direction of the sound and saw spike on his knees holding the bag in his hands, tears rolling down his eyes. Discord looked confused at the scene in front of him. Why did he stop laughing? If anything he should be laughing harder. Suddenly he felt a tug in his chest he knew what emotion it was and it was already ruining the moment. He sighed as he looked down at the dragon.

“Wow that must have been some gem you had if you’re crying over it breaking.” Discord said with annoyance as he took a few steps forward. Spike didn't move he just continued to cry shaking a little.
“Come on what could be so important that you cry over it breaking? You’re such a baby.” Discord said annoyed as he placed a hand on Spikes shoulder. Spike spun around much to Discords surprise, and jumped at him.
“YOU!” he yelled in a rage as he sunk his teeth into Discords lions paw. Discord screamed in pain as he tried to shake the dragon off.
“Get off!” he yelled as Spike bit down harder drawing blood. Discord screamed again as he felt the rows of sharp teeth bite down harder, he shook his arm hard jerking spike around, blood began to drip down his paw and onto the ground. Spike didn't let go, he didn't care if he got hurt as long as Discord got hurt too.
“I SAID LET GO!” Discord yelled angrily as he used his eagle hand to cup spikes face and quickly began to squeeze his face hard, Spike winched in pain but didn't let go. Discord noted the look in his eyes, a look of pure hatred as the small dragons eyes turned to slits. The small dragon bit down harder as he began to jerk his head tearing in deeper into Discord’s paw. Discord screamed harder as he squeezed harder and harder before Spike finally let go of him gasping loudly. Discord tossed the small dragon away making him land with a thud; he quickly turned to his paw and gripped it hissing in pain as he felt blood drip down his paw. He was pretty sure the little sucker hit bone.

“Damn it! What the heck is wrong with you!?” Discord yelled at him as he examined his paw the deep saw like pattern still bleeding. He hissed as he began to use his magic to heal his wound stinging of closing wounds always hurt no matter the magic. A growl got his attention, he turned to see Spike charging at him, Discord quickly jumped into the air the small dragon barely missing him.
“What is your problem?!” Discord yelled angrily at the small dragon as he floated just above the dragons reach, he quickly realized he was unintentionally mocking him.
“Get back down here! I'm going to tear you to pieces!” Spike yelled looking up at Discord. Discord looked down at the small dragon who tried to do anything to get to the mismatched creature. Discord watched on as the dragon got more and more desperate as he jumped and tried to snap at him.
"How can this push over turn into this?" Discord thought to himself as he snapped his fingers making a cage appear around the dragon allowing him to land safely.
“Wow I knew you lot where dangerous but didn't know you could be like this at this age, I'm impressed.” Discord said as he leaned down staring into the cage as the small dragon snarled at him.

"Let me out of here!" Spike yelled as he began to gnaw at the bars holding him. Discord watched in awe as the small dragon continued to gnaw at the bars thankful that he went with metal rather than candy cane. Spike tried to claw at him though the cage as Discord got closer to him but was just out of reach. Suddenly he backed off and rammed himself into the cage shaking it violently making Discord back off his eyes wide in shock.
"What is your problem?!" Discord yelled a bit worried at the sudden mood change in the dragon.
"I said let me out of here! I'm going to tear you to pieces!" Spike yelled still trying to get at the mismatched spirit. At that moment Discord noticed spike had tears running down his eyes. That ping in his chest hit him again as he stared at the dragon who was freely crying now.
"What the--"
Discord stared at the small dragon for a moment before looking over his shoulder at the crushed bag and quickly slithered to it. He reached down and grabbed it and the moment it got close to his face he coughed as a very strong terrible smell filled his nose.

“Jeeze what in the name of chaos where you carrying in here?!” he asked sneezed a bit at the strong smell as he opened it and poured what was in it into his hand, he wrinkled his nose as the smell got slightly stronger as a lot of broken glass and liquid fell onto his paw. Discord hated the smell of the purple liquid it was so strong that it made him cough slightly. He rummaged through the pieces of glass being careful not to cut himself and found a whole piece stuck together, it was the label. He picked it up and wiped it clean, it had a rather long warning.
“Warning blah blah kidney failure blah blah coma blah blah don't take more than 2 spoons a day.” It took Discord a moment to realize what he was holding in his hand was a bottle of really strong medicine well pile of broken glass covered in medicine. He stared at the label and he wondered something “what was this baby dragon doing with such strong medicine?” Discord's thoughts were interrupted when his ears perked up at the sound of soft whimpering. He turned to see Spike hugging his knees tightly to his chest crying to himself.

“I'm sorry...I failed....I'm sorry.” Spike whispered to himself as he cried to himself. Discord stood there for a moment before clicking his fingers making the cage go away. Discord slowly slithered to the small dragon being ready to dodge if he needed too, Spike looked up at him and Discord froze not because of fear of him attacking again but because of the look in the baby dragon’s eyes, Spikes eyes had such a deep sadness that left Discord speechless.
“I'm sorry...” he said quietly as he went back to crying, he hugged himself tighter. Discord was at a loss for words and he needed answers. He slowly walked in front of the dragon covering him in his mismatched shadow.
“What's wrong?” Discord asked nervously as he got down to eye level with the small dragon. He gave the Dragon a small poke only for his hand to be swatted away much to Discords annoyance.
“Just leave me alone, you've done enough to me already.” Spike said his voice full of sorrow as it cracked a little as he talked. Discord winched he knew that tone very well and knew how much It took to make that tone.
“Seriously what's wrong? Is it the fact I was so mean to you?” he asked tapping at spikes shoulder only to have it swatted away again.
“I said leave me alone, you've done enough.” Spike hissed at him not looking up. Discord growled down at the dragon and grabbed his tail and lifted him up with his lions paw.
“What have I done to you? I mean specifically? So far you're the one that I bothered less.” Discord hissed having enough of his attitude.

"Heck I don't think you or me have known each other for more than 2 minutes! So tell me what is wrong with you before I take my feels elsewhere!" Discord yelled angrily but quickly covered his mouth at the word "feels". Spike looked up at him his tear stained eyes not showing any emotion at all making Discord look down at him confused.
“You took away my home, my friends are not the same, and now you took away my family!” Spike yelled as a small tear ran up his face as he glared up at the upside down mismatched creature. Discord took a step back and continued to stare at him.
“You’re.....family?” Discord asked letting the small dragon down, Spike didn't even bother to look up at discord he just kept his head down if he had looked up he might have seen the look of slight fear on god of chaos eyes.
“Explain.” Discord said firmly his voice shaking a bit but quickly clearing his throat.
“Why? Why would you care?” Spike asked finally looking up at Discord. Spike looked at the creature and noticed something he looked like Twilight when she forgets what part of a book she left off at. Discord noticed this and coughed a little running his paw though his scruff of a mane before giving the small dragon a toothy grin.

“Well let's see I'm an all-powerful god of chaos, so whatever problem you have I might be willing to make go away Might.” he added coldly not showing any sigh of nervousness but still had that snaggle tooth grin. Spike recoiled a bit at how icy his voice sounded and Discord grinned inwardly, he was already in the trap. Spike looked down a bit as if in deep thought. Discord began to circle the small dragon on all four giving a bit of a throaty chuckle as he did.
“But if you don't want any help fine by me I can take my powers elsewhere.” Discord said as he ran his tail underneath the dragon’s chine before he turned to leave. Spike didn't know why but before he knew it he dashed up to him in a panic.
“Wait!” Spike yelled grabbing onto his tail stopping him from leaving, Discord grinned as he looked back at the dragon. Spike looked up at him as Discord turned and stood tall above the dragon. Spike looked away for a moment as he took a deep breath and looked back at Discord.

“Can...You....help her?” Spike asked his eyes full of hope and fear.
“Her? Who is he talking about?” Discord thought to himself but not showing the small dragon any sigh of emotion. He had to keep his cool after all.
“Maybe, who's her and what's wrong? I might feel kind enough to help.” Discord said coldly as he examined his paw as if it was the most important thing in the world at that moment. He looked down at the small dragon after a moment of silence.
“It’s Twilight...she's...sick.” Spike said as fresh tears began to form in his eyes; Discord felt his stomach turn at the mention of her name but why he couldn't figure out. He looked over at what was left of the bottle it was very strong medicine indeed and the fact the young dragon ventured out here for it made Discord nervous as he began to peace the pieces together. And a few things where answered, why was he alone? Why was he risking his safety? What was in the bottle and what was it for? All those answers caused him to feel uneasy and he hated that. He quickly regained his posture and grinned down at the small dragon, he always had a talent for putting on a mask when he wanted to hide what he was feeling.
“Oh Miss Sparkle? What has she come down with a cold? Or maybe the sniffles?” Discord asked with a chuckle not wanting to show any sign of weakness in front of the small drake
“I don't know.” Spike said solemnly, Discord winched inwardly again. This dragon was a master at feels as it seemed to Discord as the small dragon looked up his eyes already tearing up like a small puppy. A small green mutant puppy.
“What you mean?” he asked not looking away from the small dragon.

“I don't know what she has I just know she's very sick.” Spike said tearing up again as his lips formed a slightly open frown. Discord groaned slightly as he knew what was coming.
"Oh don't tell me you’re going to--
“And...And I...don't...want...loose...her...” Spike said crying covering his face with his hands as he freely cried his sobs and sniffles being a bit quite for a crying child. Discord hated when children cried they were loud when a child cries they want attention, but when a child cries silently it means they can't stop crying and are tired that got his attention the most. This small dragon has been crying a lot recently and he couldn't stop. He clung to Discord suddenly burring his face into his dragon leg as he cried. Spike didn't care anymore he just cried and cried, in a way it felt good to let it all out.
Discord felt sorry for the small dragon he knew how much it hurt to lose someone who he considered close. Discord had never felt so uncomfortable in his life, watching this baby dragon crying made him feel uneasy he wondered if he should just shake him off but he didn't and once again his head hurt due to the fact that he didn't want to make this situation any worse. After a few moments Spike let go of Discords leg slowly backing away, he was still shaking and crying. Discord watched silently with curiosity.

“She's the only family I have!” Spike yelled angrily tears running down his face.
"If...if I lose her ill...ill...be...all....alone." he said his hands shaking a lot balling themselves into fists. Discord sighed as he looked at the small dragon.
"Listen kid you need----
Suddenly Spike slammed fist into the ground cutting off anything Discord was about to say.
“I can't! I can't lose her! I can't lose my...mom!” Spike yelled angrily crying harder and harder as he continued to slam his fist into the ground. over and over again he hit the ground not caring at all as he let out growls.
"Why does all the bad things happen to me?!" he yelled his fist turning a dark purple with all the whacks he's been giving the ground. Discord watched silently as the dragon let everything out, in a way he knew that’s what the dragon needed most right now. Spike was growling and snorting as he continued to hit the ground this time drawing a little blood.
"I'm not a dragon! I'm not a pony! I'm in love with a pony and she doesn't even know I exist! I'm all alone and I didn't even know it!" Spike yelled his rage building and building.

"I'm a Freak!" Spike yelled to the infinite sky itself as he balled his fists as he fell to his knees crying. He felt so empty inside, but so free at the same time. He cursed himself though he knew Discord was long gone, he knew the monster had left him and Spike wished he didn't. He found that a bit ironic, he wished for nothing more than Discord to be gone. Yet in that moment he wished he wasn't alone. He wished he wasn't the only freak anymore. Suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder making him shake in shock; he looked up to see Discord looking down at him neither smiling nor frowning just looking down at him.
“You need to be stronger.” Discord said firmly, Spike only sniffled a little as he spoke. Discord took Spikes hand into his lions paw and was shocked as a band aid began to wrap itself around his hand covering the cut he gave himself.
“If you’re this weak this world will tear you to pieces.” he continued as he looked down at the small drake.
“Then make it go back to normal then.” Spike said though whimper still looking up at the spirit tears still running down his face. Discord chuckled bitterly.

“You think my world is bad? My world is a kindness compared to the real world.” Discord said firmly his eyes straining as if he remembered something but shook his head of it. He glanced back down at the dragon still no smile on his goofy face.
“if your weak the real world will tear you to pieces, you need to be tough because one day you will lose something you love, it's not a maybe its fate that one day you will.” He said firmly, Spike looked up at him with sad eyes.
“One day something so awful will happen to you that you wish you didn't exist, that you would do anything to change what had happened but never will.” Discord said his eyes hard as stone as he talked.
“And you know what you do when that day comes?” Discord asked, Spike noticed a look in the spirits eyes, pain. Spike shook his head wanting to know what the old spirit would say
“You push yourself to the next day, and then the next and so on and so forth until the pain you feel just stops.” he said looking to the sky for a moment before looking back down at the small dragon.

“So be strong I am telling you this because no one else will until it's too late, and if I had one good thing to say it's this. Enjoy every Single second of it no matter how painful it can be. It will be the only thing keeping you from breaking.” Discord said his eyes glazing over slightly. Spike looked up at him shocked at the speech he just gave the little dragon. Spike knew something was up, Twilight had once said that you could learn a lot about an individual by the stories they tell.
“Did...did that happen to you?” Spike asked wiping away the last of his tears being careful of his bandaged hand. Discord didn't answer he didn't want to answer that was clear. And just like that Discord laughed as he glanced down at the drake.
“Oh come on stop being so sentimental!” Discord said happily as he poked the small dragon rather harshly on the forehead. Spike winched at the poke but couldn't help but smile a little the mood lighting up a bit.
“So where too MLD?” Discord asked with a smile, clearly changing the topic now.

“MLD?” Spike asked still winching at the harsh poke, Discord just sighed in annoyance.
“Well duh! I can't call you MLP now can't I?” Discord said with a grin as he removed his finger from Spike’s forehead. Spike sighed with relief, for two reasons. One Discord was no longer poking him and two it seemed the spirit had changed the mood of the area since spike no longer felt like crying....though he still felt annoyed.
“MLP?” Spike asked rubbing his head, Discord sighed again.
“And here I thought the mares where the dim ones.” He said rubbing his head earning a glare from spike. He looked up and got down at eye level with spike.
“Look its simple MLP stands for My Little Pony.” Discord said as seriously as he could but his face was fighting to keep itself straight, and it was losing.
“And what does MLD stand for?” Spike asked wondering if he wanted to know the answer to that, Discord grinned evilly at him.
“My Little Dragon.” Discord said his grin threatening to take the top of his head off due to how big it was getting.
“That is so not funny.” Spike said in a deadpan voice. The mood between the two has changed but Spike still felt annoyed to all Tarturas.

“Oh yes it is~” Discord said in a sing along voice. He no longer showed any signs of restraint as he laughed a bit at the small dragon.
“Stop it!” Spike yelled angrily at him, Discord chuckled evilly at him.
“Well stop wasting time then, we would have been their hours ago if you didn't stop to ask such silly questions.” Discord said with a chuckle. Spike looked down at the ground a brief moment of shame crossed his eyes, then his eyes shot open.
“Wait! Does that mean you’re going to help me?! Help her?!” Spike asked worried but eager. Discord rolled his eyes a bit but smiled.
“Well just this one time I’ll be the hero so yes Lord Discord at your service!” Discord said happily with a bow, he was suddenly wearing a blue suit with red underwear and a diamond design on the font with a screw and a ball in front of it.
“...can you take me to the library already?” Spike asked just staring at him annoyed and embarrassed. He was happy no one else was here. Discord looked at up at spike annoyed as the outfit flashed away.

“Oh OK fine! Come on lets got going already!” Discord said already getting impatient crossing his arms. Spike sighed a bit as he began to lead the way only for Discord to grab his tail pulling him back.
“What are you doing? We need to get to Twilight an—“
“Well duh I know that but it will take a few days to get to her with you walking around on your stubby legs and all.” Discord said annoyed before Spike slapped his hand away blushing angrily.
“I do not---
“Hey dragon boy ever ridden a Real dragon before?” Discord asked with a grin as he interrupted spike. Spike blinked a few times.
“…ummm no?” Spike said a bit worried. Discords grin grew.
“Would you like too?” he asked flapping his mismatched wings eagerly. Spikes eyes grew wide as he smiled a bit.
“YES! That means we can reach Twilight faster too!” Spike yelled happily as he hopped up and down eagerly. Discord smile this was something Discord enjoyed seeing in children, hope and eagerness. Oh how he would hate to ruin that......well almost.

“Of course! Now hold on.” Discord said grinning as he grabbed Spike and held him the way a super villain holds a small cat.
“Wait. I just thought of something wouldn’t it be faster if you just Tele----AHHHH!” Spike let out a girly scream as he and Discord took off into the sky at breakneck speed.
“My Little Dragon, My Little Dragon oooooh~” Discord sang out loud enough for Spike and for all he knew all of Equestria to hear.
“Shut it!” Spike yelled angrily as he clung to Discord. The duo flew off into the sky a mix of joy and terror as they fled. As they disappeared from view a hooded figure stepped out from behind a tree its black hood shining in the sunlight of the pink sun. The figure looked around a bit playing with its black saddle bag. It looked up and sighed.
“He’s gone.” It said its voice sounding a bit off but eager as its jagged horn poked out slightly as it began to glow a light green.

“Good anything else to report?”
“No your majesty the land is still covered in chaos; the ponies have fled leaving the land to ourselves.” It said looking around the area a bit.
“Good seems like he returned at the right moment.”
“When shall we clam the land?” it asked as it poked at nearby floating pie.
“Not yet he’s still the self-proclaimed ruler of this land and it would be foolish to challenge him when both the elements and the princesses have failed to stop him.”
“If I maybe so bold.” It said bowing a bit.
“You may.”
“Why do we not just talk to him? Form an alliance with him? He is spoken in our legends. So why not just let him know we are here?” it asked the voice inside its head.
“….it’s not an option at the moment I’m afraid.”
“Why not?” it asked again looking over its shoulder and noticing more hooded figures behind it.
“Because he’s too unstable and letting him know let alone him finding out where our home is would bring the chaos to us.”
“But wouldn't that---

“It would destroy us, he’s too dangerous and must never be allowed to know of us or out home or we will suffer server consequences.”
“But---
“That is final now get to work, and do not ever question me again.”
“Yes your majesty!” it said saluting as the glow around its horn faded away. The creature looked over its shoulder at the group of hooded figures that just arrived at the scene. A few of them snickering a bit, it growled at them making them stand at attention.
"Move out." it said firmly as the creature waved its hoof in a direction. The other figures moved out quickly along the grass grabbing random objects of chaos and began to drag them away slightly hovering a little, a light buzzing sound barely being heard as they gathered items. The leader of the group walked over to a spot on the field and reached into its black saddle bag and tossed out a dark green tarp onto the ground. One by one they gathered items and piled them into a small pile on top of the tarp.

“Excellent maggots.” The head creature said with a smile as it looked at the large pile.it looked up to the sky making sure the coast was clear before it cleared its throat.
"Mission accomplished, he still doesn't know we exist now get back to our home!" it yelled as they each grabbed an edge of the tarp and lifted. The leader of the group using its magic surrounding the now large make shift net.
“The faster we get back the faster we eat!” it said as they began to slowly fly away from the scene wings buzzing as they made their way to The Everfree Forest.

More than meets the eye

The castle had been eerily quiet the whole day, the chaos around the home had settled to a less chaotic state. The only sound in the castle came from the lord of chaos’s bedroom; the sounds of something wet and gooey being slapped into something else echoed though the room, being barely audible. The sun goddess and moon goddess sat looking at each other with hate filled eyes and a slight snarl as the two princesses stared each other down, not caring about the tiny cage they found themselves in.

“It’s pointless Luna, give up.” Celestia said firmly as she moved something along the ground in front of her.
“We shall never give up, dear sister thou should know that.” Luna said, her voice full of hate, moving another object across the ground. The items themselves made wet slapping sounds with each movement.
“Foalish Luna, you will never learn.” Celestia said, moving another object, making Luna snort a little.
“Tis you that is foalish!” Luna yelled angrily, slamming down an object, splashing herself and her sister with a light brown substance, making her give a loud “Huzzah!” Celestia just gave her an annoyed look as she wiped some of the substance off before moving another object. Each movement was like thunder. Each move got each one closer and closer to their goal. Each strike of their hooves made the world around them stand still waiting for the next move to be made. The two princesses were in what possibly might be the most intense moment in their lives; they stared at each other with a glare that was laced with the fires of war. Celestia smiled as she grabbed her biggest item on the ground and moved it in front of Luna.

“Checkmate!” She yelled happily as she waved her hoofs in the air, not giving a care in the world. Victory belonged to the sun once again. Luna let out a cry of despair as she stood up, pointing her hoof at her sister, shaking it furiously at her.
“THOU HAS CHEATED!” her voice boomed as her hoof shook violently at her sister.
“No I didn't!” Celestia yelled back angrily glaring down at her younger sister.
“I won fair and square!” she said standing up, towering over her little sister. Luna angrily kicked the home-made game board away, smearing the spaghetti knights she made with the leftover food.
“Liar!” Luna yelled, crossing her arms as she pouted. Celestia was about to say something but a high pitched shriek stopped her from doing so.

"…..Ahhhhhhhhhh!……"

The ghastly sound filled the room, deafening the chaos around the castle.
“Luna did you hear that?” Celestia asked, looking around being careful not to step on what was left of their game, not wanting to show the fear in her voice.
“Tis a ghost!” Luna yelled as she quickly hid under her sister’s larger form, shaking lightly as she clung to her legs. Celestia rolled her eyes, a thousand years and she is still such a foal.
“It’s not a ghost!” Celestia yelled as she rubbed her head, almost falling to the ground as Luna stood up, yelping as she felt Luna’s horn poke her underbelly.
“How do you know!? Discord could have sent it to torment us!” Luna said, whimpering a little, looking around scared as if she was a 3 year old filly. Celestia was about to say something but another shriek filled the room, making the two princesses cling quickly onto each other, shaking in fear.
“OK maybe your right.” Celestia said shaking as she held her sister.
“The cosmos only know what he is up to.” Luna said looking out the nearby window, her eyes widening as she swore she saw something zoom past it.
………………………………………

“Ahhhhh!” a girly scream was heard throughout the chaotic kingdom as a blur sped through the sky.
“I used to wonder what being a French maid dragon could be! Until being in a dress was shared with me! ~” Discord’s voice echoed through the whole town as he sang his off-tune song.
“Quiet! I only did that one time! It wasn't my fault! ” Spike yelled angrily, as he somehow had clung to Discords head, much like a scared angry cat.
“Big cups of chocolate milk, tons of chaos!~” he yelled again, laughing as he did, a few windows cracked as his voice reached them, he pouted a little.
“Everyone’s a critic.” He said, pouting a little as he cleared his throat. Discord did a flip in midair, making Spike scream again as he clung harder to Discord’s head, making him flinch a little at the sharp claws digging into his skin.
“Oh will you stop it already!?” Discord yelled angrily as the small dragon continued his clinging ways.
“How are you this fast!?” Spike yelled, holding firmly onto Discord’s head, using the mismatched horns as handles.
“I don’t know, I just am.” Discord said with a grin, a hint of pride in his voice.
“Oh, that reminds me, where are we going?” Discord asked as he zoomed through the sky happily, how he enjoyed flying, though he could do without the passenger.

“The library!” Spike screamed as he held on for dear life as they went through a cloud.
“Wait really? Oops.” Discord said with a chuckle as he suddenly made a sharp turn, nearly throwing Spike off of him. After Spike got back to his position on top of Discord’s head he glared down at the spirit, as tempting as it would be to kick him, Spike knew that would be the end for him.
“What do you mean oops!?” Spike yelled, still trying to grasp the fact that Discord could reach speeds he thought only Rainbow Dash could.
“I thought she was in Canterlot.” Discord said dully as he flew through the air, Spike raised his hand to say something but Discord came to a sudden stop. Spike yelled as he was flung off of the spirit’s head. Discord’s lion hand shot out and caught Spike before he could get too far away from him. Spike was shivering like a wet cat, he even felt like he wet himself as Discord gently petted him much like someone would pet a wet cat…..very carefully.
“Easy there, easy there.” Discord said pulling out a piece of candy from out of thin air and handing it to Spike. The small drake took it, shaking as he did and slowly started nibbling at it. Suddenly Spike felt Discord move; he looked up and saw him putting on a Viking helmet. He didn't know why but that terrified him to his very core, enough so that he debated on jumping or not.
“What are you doing now!?” Spike yelled as he looked down seeing nothing but clouds, when had they come up so high? Spike thought to himself. Discord chuckled evilly as he placed Spike on his head again, the Viking helmet coming to life and pulling the small dragon down, holding him still.

“I only have one word to say to you, dragon boy.” Discord said with a grin.
“What’s that?” Spike asked nervously, the Viking helmet still holding him down but that didn't stop him from struggling.
“Geronimo!” Discord yelled gleefully as he gave a mighty high pitched Viking battle cry as he dashed downward. Spike screamed like a little filly as Discord started twirling downward. Spike continued to scream as he was presented with an excellent view of the ground they were very rapidly approaching, feeling like he would hit it very soon. Discord grinned as he got closer and closer to the ground, his blood pumping faster and faster, then suddenly and to Spike's dismay Discord closed his eyes.
“I don’t want it to end like this! I didn't even have my first kiss yet!” Spike yelled as he covered his eyes, his short life flashing before his closed eyes as he felt the wind whipping past him. Discord grinned as he opened his eyes again, noting that there was only a few feet between him and the ground, he opened his wings like a parachute and stopped just before hitting the ground, landing safely on it.

“We’re here~” Discord sang out loud as he held his lion paw out catching Spike just as the small dragon fell on it, frozen with fear.
“Hello? Are you alive?” Discord asked shaking the small dragon, no reaction. Discord frowned as he dropped the dragon into a small pool he had summoned, within seconds Spike resurfaced coughing.
“That...was....awesome!” Spike yelled happily, catching his breath, coughing a bit as he did so; Discord chuckled at the small dragon that had begun to pump his little arms up and down in the air happily. Discord clicked his fingers, making the small pool vanish, leaving a very wet spike behind.
“Let’s go again! Let’s go again!” Spike chanted as he hopped up and down eagerly, Discord blinked for a few seconds before laughing.
“Oh you are priceless!” Discord laughed, remembering why he liked kids. Spike looked himself over, noting how wet he was, he got down on all fours and shook his body like a cat, sending water everywhere.
“You just had to ruin the moment didn't you?” Discord asked annoyed, Spike looked up and chuckled nervously as a wet Discord stood in front of him, glaring down at the small dragon.
“Oops, sorry.” Spike said shyly, Discord sighed as he pulled out a towel from nowhere and began to dry himself off.
“So never had your first kiss?” Discord asked with a sly grin as he cleaned his ear, Spike pouted angrily at him.
“Shut up! I said it in a moment of panic!” Spiked yelled angrily. Discord chuckled as he continued to dry himself off, starting at his neck then slowly moving to his rump, making it make loud squeaky noises as he toweled off.
“Whatever.” Discord said as he tossed the damp towel away, making Spike thankful he did not have to take care of the laundry again.

“So we're here.” Discord said as he turned to look at the library. Spike just looked a bit disappointed that he wasn't going to get his ride. Discord noticed this and sighed.
“Look I’ll let you ride me another time OK.” He said a bit annoyed. Spike eyes lit up as he looked up at Discord.
“Really?!” Spike asked happily, his eyes sparkling a little. Discord looked down at him, raising his eyebrows a little.
“Yes, heck I’ll let you ride me as much as you want, after we finish what we came here to do.” Discord said a bit annoyed as he quickly noticed how….wrong his sentence sounded, but before he could say anything to fix it, Spike’s expression quickly went from excited to a horrified one.
“Crap! Twilight!” Spike yelled as he dashed past Discord and headed for the door.
“Hey watch your mouth Mr.!” Discord scolded the young dragon as the drake dashed inside, Discord sighed as he walked after him, entering the place in a way he hadn't since this morning, he didn't like it, it felt...normal. The moment he entered he knew something was wrong. The library was dark; books were scattered left and right, some on the table, some on the floor. An entire bookcase was lying on the ground. This was the exact opposite of what he was expecting from that little egghead, this was something he would have thought to see in his room when he threw a tantrum.

He was expecting books organized on the shelf and he could picture her sitting down drinking tea and reading. But not this, this was chaos. He looked around some more, wondering where the little egghead was, he grinned as he could not wait to see her face when she saw him in her home. After all, this was her personal dojo and he was invading it and that made him chuckle. His eagerness only grew with his curiosity as he slithered around the home. He would normally take the books he disliked so much and would toss them around, maybe rearrange them, but the way the library was, he didn't need too. In fact, it would be more chaotic if he started cleaning up; he quickly put that thought out of his head. After taking a few more moments of looking around he noticed that no pony was on the bottom floor, to be honest to him it looked like no living thing has been here for a while, with all the dust around.
“Where in the name of chaos are you---
“TWILIGHT!” Spike’s voice echoed through the house. Discord looked up in the direction of the stairs, his fur standing on end as he quickly slithered up them, he knew that scream it was the sound of a scared child and he HATED that sound, it always sent shivers down his spine. He got to the top of the stairs quickly and looked around, again more things...out of place. More books on the ground, a smashed vase, a candle that had melted on the wooden floor and picture frames shattered on the ground of what he assumed were family since he had never seen any of them before.

The sounds of shuffling got his attention, he looked to his right and saw a door that was cracked open just a little bit, he quickly walked to it and pushed it open. Spike was leaning over an object covered in what Discord assumed was a blanket; sniffling a little, the small dragon was shaking it lightly. Discord pushed the door open a little more, making it creak. Spike looked up at the sound and saw Discord standing there.
“Help!” Spike yelled, gently shaking the figure, his eyes stained with tears as he looked to Discord, his eyes telling him that the small drake was desperate. Discord looked at the figure and his face went a bit pale, lying on her side was Twilight Sparkle, partially wrapped in a blanket and not moving at all. He quickly slithered up to her and noticed she was wet, she had been sweating so much that the blanket she was in was soaked with sweat, heck the floor itself was damp. But the fact that she was as still as a grave made him panic a little. He shook his head a little and quickly kneeled down next to her.
“What happened?” Discord asked firmly as he placed a hand on her and immediately pulling it back, she was burning up. Spike looked at Discord, the look in the spirit’s eyes made him panic more.
“What happened!?” Discord asked again, this time a bit louder, his mind needing answers as he grabbed the blanket and yanked it off of her making her groan a bit, strangely enough that relaxed him a bit. He figured it was a good sign, she was still among the living at least, but in her condition it looked like that could change at any moment.
“She got sick!” Spike yelled back angrily, his anger from before returning as his eyes turned into slits. Discord groaned as he looked at the small drake.

“I can see that you idiot! I’m asking how!” Discord yelled back angrily as he placed his eagle hand on her, she was burning up, she was so hot to the touch he swore he could cook an egg on her head, at that moment something dawned on him, he was being 100% serious, or he would of laughed at that little joke about cracking an egg on the egghead.
“Because of you!” Spike hissed angrily, making the spirit look up at him. Discord quickly noticed the small drake’s slit eyes, but at that moment he could give a flying cupcake.
“What did I do?!” Discord asked annoyed, he knew he never put a paw on any of them, except Rainbow Dash but then again he was still right, the only thing to touch her was his lips. He paused a moment thinking how....inappropriate that sounded in his mind.
“You made her sick!” Spike yelled, snapping Discord out of his thoughts. Spike’s anger was back in full strength and Discord could see it, in fact he knew the only reason the dragon had not yet attacked him again was simply because he was too close to Twilight. Another flying cupcake was given as Discord growled at the dragon.

“I did no such thing!” Discord yelled, offended by his remarks, He was getting tired of this.
“Yes you did!” Spike hissed back at him, not backing down.
“I am seriously going to have to start a damn school! And lesson bucking one is: “Discord Does Not Turn Ponies into Stone that includes hurting them!” Discord yelled angrily at the small dragon, making him back off a bit. Spike was worried at how angry Discord looked at the moment.
“You may not have made her sick directly but you did this to her!” Spike said, still growling at him but clearly more afraid of him. Discord just looked at him, obviously confused.
“What in chaos’ name are you talking about?” Discord asked, blinking a bit as he rubbed his head a bit.
“She wanted you gone, we all did! And she wouldn't stop looking for an answer, no matter what.” Spike said, suddenly getting quiet; Discord noticed he was shaking slightly. He sighed as he looked on silently.
“She read book after book after book, day and night, she barely ate or drank anything, and she didn't even sleep!” Spike said as he started to cry slightly, Discord shifted nervously on his feet as the dragon continued.
“I begged her to stop and rest, but she wouldn't listen, she wanted to stop you, every day she got weaker and weaker till she couldn't even stand up anymore and eventually she passed out.” Spike said crying, now his fists shaking. This scene looked very familiar to Discord, making him slightly nervous.

“I thought she might finally rest, but she didn't, after she only got about 3 weeks of rest she woke up one night and continued reading, I tried to take the books away but she just yelled at me.” Spike said covering his eyes, crying into his hands.
“After she spent hours of reading she passed out again but this time she slept for a few days, I was relieved and for a moment I thought that she could finally get some rest, but one night she snuck out of the library.” He said, tears still rolling down his face, this got Discord's attention: he had never known Twilight to sneak out. Granted, he only knew her for roughly 20 minutes but she still didn't seem like the type to sneak out like that, he glanced at the egghead wondering what else he was wrong about.
“She came back, I wanted to yell at her for scaring me like that but she looked so happy.” Spike said, removing his hands from his face.
“She said “Spike! Spike! I finally found it!” I asked what she had found; she said she found a way to stop you.” Spike said quietly, his crying dying down, Discord perked up at this; that fact got his full attention, his eyes focusing on the small dragon.
“She said you were right about there being an area of the library she wasn't allowed in.” Spike said, sniffing a little. Discord’s eyes shot open as he quickly ran up to Spike.

“Do not tell me she was dumb---no, not dumb, an absolute imbecile to trifle with Black Magic!” Discord practically yelled, hoping the young mare was not that stupid.
“Why would that matter?” Spike asked, looking at him a bit nervous at the lack of personal space.
“Do you have any idea of how dangerous black magic is?” Discord asked in the most serious tone Spike had never heard him talk in, Spike simply nodded no.
“I am the god of chaos, heck I’m chaos incarnate, and even I don’t dare to play with black magic, that should tell you how dangerous it is.” Discord said firmly, Spike gasped finally getting it, he looked at Twilight intensely before looking up at Discord.
“No, she didn't, she would never do that...” Spike said firmly, Discord just stared at him.
“Are you sure?” Discord asked firmly, his eyes unwavering as if trying to read the dragon to his very core.
“Yes, she would never do that!” Spike said with no hesitation. Discord stared intensely at the small dragon and, after a few moments of silence, he sighed and backed off again.

“Well, what did she find anyway?” Discord asked, still wanting to know about what solution she found for him. A part of him a little worried about what she may have found, a part of his mind started to wonder. What kind of book did she find in the forbidden section of the library? A spell that could kill something like him? Or another spell that could seal him up again, this time for good?
“Just a few books, I think those two are history books and the last one is an old journal.” Spike said, breaking Discord out of his thoughts, pointing to the night stand, Discord looked over and noticed a small stack of books. He clicked his fingers, making the book hover to him. Spike was right, one of them was a history book, a very old one, named “The Dark Times”. The next one was another very old book, this one was about the Elements of Harmony and their wielders, “Protectors of Equestria” was the name of this book. Discord looked at the journal next; it was by far the oldest of them, its once light blue cover now ashy blue, the white stars faded to muddy grey. Yes, this book had been though a lot, Discord couldn't help but think he had seen this book before. The thing that stood out the most was the symbol in the middle of the book, a symbol of a crescent moon and a swirling star in the middle of it. Discord reached out for it and gave a warm smile as he opened the book, only to confirm his suspicions.
“Ah, Star Swirl the Bearded, I was wondering where this had gone.” Discord said as he continued to flip through it.
“You know—knew him?” Spike asked, looking at him with confusion.
“Knew him? He was my teacher! He was the only pony to see on me more than what you see; he showed me everything I know about magic.” Discord said, his smile suddenly fading as if remembering something he didn't want to. Spike looked at him for a bit before rolling his eyes.

“You’re lying.” Spike said flatly, Discord looked up at the small dragon and flipped though the journal and held it out for the dragon to read. Spike leaned in to read the journal, noting the smudges all over it.

“Entry number #2345”
“Discord has been showing improvement, in fact a lot of improvement. This young Draconequus will replace me at this rate; his ability to use magic is on a whole different level. His magic surpasses Unicorn and even Alicorn magic. It would worry me if he wasn't so playful, prank here and there, always bringing a smile to everypony's face, it’s no wonder he's the holder of the Element of Laughter. Celestia wasn't too happy about that but she is still very young and naive, she will learn in time. Luna has been stopping by from time to time, Discord’s always happy to see her. I personally think she’s smiting over him, ah young love. It brings a smile to my face to see such a young mind eager to learn, always eager to learn something new any chance he got his hands into it. Who knew this strange creature would turn out to be such an outstanding student, and so faithful to boot. I am proud to be his teacher.
Star Swirl the Bearded”

Spike stood there, his mouth hanging open, speechless after reading what he had just read.
“...that explains everything.” Spike said quietly after a few moments of silence. Discord closed the journal looking at the small dragon.
“What do you mean?” Discord asked, placing the journal on the floor, stacking the other books on top of it.
“I thought after reading the books she would calm down, but she only got worse.” Spike said looking over at the sick Twilight. He felt a painful twinge in his heart as he looked at her.
“She got more...panicky; she started talking to herself, fighting with herself.” Spike said shivering a little. Discord was guessing that this was not the first time her sanity was questioned.
“She...had a little breakdown after reading the books, said something about this being all fake, it’s a trap by someone and started laughing and ran off again.” Spike said looking at the ground in shame.
“I failed her as an assistant and I know I will be replaced when this is all over but I don’t care.” Spike said, firmly looking up at Discord.

“I just want her to be OK, so do something and fix this!” Spike yelled again, Discord rolled his eyes as he looked down at Twilight, her breathing was shallow.
“Well, it would help if I knew what was going on; this is not simply bad mental health here.” Discord said as he got down and tried to turn her, suddenly he felt something cold on the other side of her flank that got his attention. He flipped her a bit roughly, earning a cold glare from Spike. Right there on her flank, slithering slightly downward, was a bandage, but what Discord found interesting was the fact this area was cold, not hot like the rest of her body. He reached down and tugged on the bandage, Twilight gasped in pain.
“You’re hurting her!” Spike yelled in a panic and rushed to his caretaker’s side, Discord looked up and shushed him as he continued to remove the bandage. Discord felt his stomach turn as the bandage revealed grey skin.
“Do you have any disinfectant?” Discord asked as he continued to remove the bandage.
“No, we don’t.” Spike said, slightly in a panic himself.
“Do you have any strong liquor?” Discord asked as the bandage finally came off.
“No, Twilight doesn't drink.” Spike said proudly, Discord rolled his eyes.
“Oh please we both know Twilight has had more than her share of hair of dog.” Discord said as he examined the wound, it was a deep gash, the surrounding skin was grey while the middle was black, it didn't take a genius to figure out it was infected.

“Just use your magic on her!” Spike said getting scared by Discord’s reaction to the cut. Discord remained silent, his eyes glazing over, slightly frowning as he did.
“I said use your----
“It would kill her” Discord said coldly, finally looking up at him.
“What, how do you know!?” Spike asked angrily. Discord stood up and glared down angrily.
“My magic is made to create chaos and to destroy; healing does not factor into that, at least not anything useful in the long run.” He said hissing lightly, making Spike gasp lightly.
“How do you know?” Spike said still standing his ground.
“Because how can something that is made to create chaos do anything good?” Discord said a bit bitterly before the sound of coughing got his attention. Twilight had started a fit of violent coughing. Discord quickly got to her side along with Spike. Discord’s lion paw began to glow slightly and he placed it on her neck, she gasped a little as her coughing died down.
“I thought you said---
“I said it wouldn't be anything useful, right now I’m just soothing her throat something you can do with tea or a cup of water.” Discord said firmly as the coughing turned into quite wheezing.
“Why haven’t you taken her to the hospital? She needs medical attention.” Discord said looking up at the dragon as he removed his paw from her neck.

“There's no more room.” Spike said quietly, Discord stopped what he was doing and stared at him, not knowing what to think. He stared for a moment or two before breaking the silence.
“What?” Discord asked, not believing the small dragon.
“There's no more room, the hospital is filled up.” Spike repeated, Discord continued to look at him in shock.
“How is that even---
“Shining? Is that you?” A weak voice asked, Spike and Discord looked down at Twilight, her eyes finally open.

“Shining, why are you wearing a Discord suit?” She asked with a weak smile, Discord looked down at her, gulping a little. The look in her eyes told him she wasn't all there. It was further confirmed as she began to nuzzle his paw.
“My dear, it’s me, Discord, not this Shining you speak of.” Discord said quietly, not believing he just used such a soothing voice on her. Twilight's smile turned into a frown as she glared at him.
“Discord, why are you pretending to be my big brother? Shoo you I need to get back to the Princess, I’m late with my studies and I don’t want to be on the moon.” Twilight said trying to roll onto her feet, only to fail. At any other moment Discord would be laughing his flank off, but seeing the proud student so weak and so out of it sent chills down his spine.
“Easy, Miss Sparkle, you’re weak.” Discord said with a chuckle as he placed his paw on her back slightly but to his and Spike’s surprise she rolled again, this time standing on her feet, she stood there, shaking a little, her legs obviously ready to give out.
“You’re weak and a cheater!” She yelled at him with a pout. Discord raised an eyebrow at that comment.

“Cheater? How am I a cheater?” Discord asked, though this situation was anything but funny, her mind was clearly scrambled, he mentally kicked himself for that. He cursed himself, another egg pun and he didn't act on it!
“You’re cheating, telling me where the books were just to try and turn me against the princess; well it’s not going to work!” She yelled again as she tried to walk a bit wobbly, she looked up at him and smiled. That creeped Discord out to no end, her mind was a puzzle and someone was moving the pieces out of order, her eyes told him she was in a bit of a daze.
“You....you changed those books! There's no way Celestia would ever lie to me!” Twilight yelled again, her whole body shaking a bit more noticeably. Discord just stared at her, trying to read her thoughts.
“You read the books, didn't you? Of course you did, what am I saying?” Discord said, rolling his eyes with a slight grin. He should have known what would have happened when he mentioned a whole section of books that where off limits to everypony, it was like telling a sugar junkie that there was free soda being given out.
“Liar! I won’t believe any of it is true!” She yelled again this time bursting into tears tearing Discord out of his thoughts.

“Well sorry to break it to you sweetheart, but they are as true as the sun is yellow...well was.” Discord said firmly but with a smile. Twilight gave him a cold glare as her body shook more violently. Spike and Discord gasped as she suddenly threw up. After she threw up she stood shaking then looked up at them, her eyes glazed over and her face going pale.
“I...don't...feel...good.” She said as she fell to the ground with a hard thud.
“TWILIGHT!” Spike yelled as he ran next to her only to have Discord pull her away from him, Spike looked up at him with tearful eyes, his heart breaking as the closest thing to a family was literally being snatched away from him.
“You said there’s no room in the hospital correct?” Discord asked firmly as he took another blanket from the bed, only then did he notice that the bed was soaked. He quickly wrapped Twilight up in it and picked her up. She was panting hard and he swore he felt her get hotter, he was short on time and he knew it.
“Yeah, why? What are you going to do to her!?” Spike said panicking as he ran to Discord holding the creature’s tail.
“Well, I’m about to show her some Kindness.” Discord said as he raised his eagle hand, before Spike could react, he snapped it and they were gone in a bright flash.

…......................

“Ahhhhh! You!” Fluttershy yelled as she dived under her table in fear, her tea cup breaking in the process as Discord appeared in a flash of light standing in the middle of her living room.
“Warn me the next time you’re going to do that!” Spike yelled, holding his head, trying to stop the world from spinning as he hopped off Discord’s tail.
“Quiet you, now let’s see.” Discord said scanning the room and spotting Fluttershy hiding under the table, shaking in fear.
“You! Fluttershy, she needs help!” Discord said as he used his tail to flip the table off of her, making it crash into the floor, making her scream in fear as she covered her eyes with her hoofs.
“Stop screaming, she really does need help now!” Discord hissed angrily as he tried to get her to pay attention, Fluttershy looked at him peeking out of her hoofs. For the 3rd time since he had meet her, she had put overwhelming fear in him by jetting up to him at speeds that rivaled and maybe even surpassed his and Rainbow Dash’s speed.

“What did you do to her!?” Fluttershy screamed so hard the house shook, making Discord freeze in his place.
“I...I didn’t...do...anything...” Discord whispered, not daring to make a move, her eyes flared with fire and she was practically snarling at him. He was sure Twilight being in his arms saved him once again from being attacked. He entertained the thought of tying Twilight to his neck but quickly pushed it aside as he saw tears starting to run down Fluttershy’s face.
“Don’t you dare to lie to me! How dare you hurt her!?” Fluttershy yelled again, tears running down her eyes but he could see the rage in them.
“I didn't think you were this evil, but this is too far Mr.!” She continued yelling as more and more tears continued to run down her eyes. Discord was still too scared to move, he was happy Twilight was in front of him as a meat shield, which might have been the only reason he was still among the living. He reached behind himself, ready to click his fingers ready to make his problem go away, that was until Spike stepped up.

“He didn't do anything, Fluttershy.” Spike said, standing between them, getting their attention.
“Wha...what?” Fluttershy asked backing off, her eyes wide with shock.
“He didn't do anything, as shocking as that is.” Spike said earning a glare from Discord. Spike then started to tell what had led up to Twilight being in this condition. Fluttershy stood still listening to Spike’s story as Discord continued to hold Twilight hating the fact his paw and some of his fur was now slightly damp. Spike went on about how he met Discord that day and how he flew for the first time on another dragon's back, that made Fluttershy smile a bit as Discord just scoffed at them.
As the story was drawing near its end, Twilight had begun shaking suddenly, making Fluttershy swap her attention to Twilight and Discord.
“Let me see her!” Fluttershy said as Spike finished his story. She swiftly flew over to them and put her hoof on her friend’s head.
“She’s burning up, but she’s shivering like she’s freezing.” Fluttershy said as she flew over to a nearby cabinet.
“Or having a seizure.” Discord said grimly, earning a cold glare from her; he blinked before looking down at the small dragon, who was clearly worried.

“You….. Should probably leave.” Discord said shifting away from the small dragon awkwardly.
“No!” Spike yelled as he walked up to him angrily, closing any gap between them.
“I will not leave her side, no matter what!” Spike hissed at him, Discord couldn't help but smile down at him.
“..I have to say I admire your dedication, I know dragons tend to be loyal toward others but you take it to a new level.” Discord said with a small smile as Fluttershy came back with something in her hoofs.
“Yes, that’s Spike for you, he's very loyal.” she said warmly as she placed the object into Twilight's mouth, at that moment Discord saw it was a thermometer, he always hated those things. Too hard and no taste to them what so ever unless of course you broke it. It only took a few seconds before it beeped; Fluttershy hummed a tune as she pulled it out, her eyes shot out in fear as she looked at it.
“We need to get her temperature down now!” She yelled as she flew into the kitchen at speeds that Discord was still having trouble believing.

“Why, what’s wrong?” Discord asked following her into the kitchen, Spike following right behind him.
“Her temperature is over 105! She’s going to die if it goes over 109!” she yelled as she frantically turned the knobs in the sink all the way up. She looked at him and one thing was sure, he had never seen her so scared before, in fact he had never seen her face go pale like that before not even after his best pranks.
“What!? What in chaos name happened to her!?” Discord yelled as he ran over to her, holding Twilight in his arms as he did.
“No time to explain! We need to get her temperature down now!” she yelled, grabbing a nearby bucket and started to fill it. Discord looked around and kicked the table away making more room.
“What are you doing?!” Fluttershy screamed as she heard the sound of her table hitting the wall, no doubt cracking said wall by doing so. She quickly looked back, only to see Discord summon a bathtub with a snap of his fingers.

“Like you said we need to hurry!” He said as he placed her into it, removing the blanket as he did. Fluttershy quickly passed him the bucket, he tossed the water down on Twilight, waiting to see what would happen, he started to panic as he saw she didn't react to the cold water. Fluttershy quickly went over to the fridge and started popping out ice into the bucket, he knew that would take too long. It would be quicker to start digging a hole than her popping out ice like that.
“That won’t be fast enough, she’d die before Fluttershy could get that bucket full.” he thought to himself, raising his hand ready to click it. He gave one last look at Spike wishing he wasn't in the room as the small drake looked on in fear, he groaned again as he thought why was he caring so much as he clicked his fingers. Twilight let out a scream as she was suddenly covered in ice kicking and screaming.
“Twilight!” Spike yelled as he tried to push his way past Discord, only to be pushed back.
“Let me help her!” Spiked yelled, trying to get past Discord again. Discord again and much to his annoyance had to push the small dragon back again, Twilight sat up and tried to get out of the tub but Discord pushed her back in, making her scream again as she started kicking again.

“Twilight! Let me help her!” Spike yelled as he again tried to push his way past Discord, that was the last straw.
“Would you just stop being a damn pest!?” Discord screamed angrily at him, Spike looked up at him in shock, he had never been yelled at like that, tears began to form in his eyes.
“Leave! You’re not helping her so just... I don’t know, go into the other room!” Discord yelled again, hissing a little, Spike looked down and ran out of the room, tears running down his eyes crying, loud enough to be heard as he left. Fluttershy looked at Discord coldly but nodded knowing it was for the best but still didn't like how he did it. Discord snorted at her as he continued to hold Twilight down. Discord usually liked hearing a pony scream in fear, but this was different, this was pain and he was physically causing it and that made his stomach turn….no, it made his very skin want to crawl off of him.
'Why would I care? Why should I! Why DO I CARE!?' Discord thought to himself angrily as the young mare continued to try to force herself out of the tub, but Discords paw kept that from happening.

'Why do I feel this way? It doesn't make any sense!' He thought as he felt something brush against him, he looked to his left and saw Fluttershy pour more water into the tub making Twilight kick and scream again.
“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry but I need to do this.” Fluttershy said in a soft calming voice, Discord glanced up at her and saw tears running down her face. Fluttershy's eyes were red and tears rolled down her face as she poured more water onto her friend. It didn’t take a genius to see that Fluttershy was in so much pain, probably more than Twilight was. Discord wondered if she regretted being the Element of Kindness. His thoughts were interrupted when he felt Twilight go limp making him panic as he quickly looked back down at her thinking he might of forced her head to hit the tub or dunked her head for too long.
“Please...stop.” Twilight said weakly as she opened her eyes and looked at up at him.
“Just please stop.... if you have any good in you just...end it.” She said weakly, Discord just stared down at her, silently watching her.

“Please...no more...i can't take it.” She begged as she started to cry, Discord winced at her words, she really thought he was torturing her.
“...kill ...me” she said quietly, not bothering to look up at him.
“What?” Discord asked, not sure if he heard her right.
“I said kill me....I can't take this anymore.” Twilight said as tears continued to run down her face. Fluttershy was about to say something but she only looked up at Discord and was shocked he had such a hurt look in his eyes, his ears pinned to his head as he looked at her.
“Why? It can't just be the water.” Discord said quietly as he ran his paw across her mane a bit in an attempt to calm her only for her to jerk away and sat up. He thought about how tired he was of that reaction, he always got it from mares even when he offered them a box of pineapples.
“You!” Twilight yelled angrily, tears still running down her eyes as she glared at him.
“Why do you have to be so...so...complicated!?” Twilight yelled again trying to kick him but failing.
“I thought you were evil! That you were so vile that no pony would ever like you! But…but!--” Twilight began to sob, not being able to finish her sentence.

“You read the whole journal, didn't you?” Discord asked firmly, looking down at her. Once again he thought why did he ask? Of course she did it was impossible for her to walk past a book and not read it.
“Yes! And …and how...how can you be...like...me?” Twilight asked, looking up at him still crying, Discord stayed silent. Fluttershy stayed silent, not knowing what to say as she watched the two.
“Answer me!” She yelled again, standing up suddenly.
“Twilight you need to relax! Please!” Fluttershy yelled as she tried to hold down her friend. Twilight quickly shoved her friend away making her fall on her rump.
“No! I need answers! Now! Now tell me you monster! What is the truth!?” Twilight yelled as she slammed his chest with her hoofs. Discord didn't grunt or yelp in pain, he only sighed as he placed his paw on her head.
“The truth is more painful than the lies you grew up with.” he said, coldly glaring at her. His paw began to glow a light purple, Twilight's eyes glazed over as she closed her eyes. Discord sighed as he slowly lowered her back into the tub, only then did he notice the ice was gone.

“What did you do to her?” Fluttershy asked a bit defiantly but fear was still clear in her voice as she trotted up to him. He tried not to stare at her rubbing her rump a bit obviously it stinging a bit from being thrown down rump first.
“Nothing, she just needed to relax.” Discord said coldly as he removed his hand from her head before looking at her.
“Well, get to work.” he said, the coldness never leaving his voice as he stood up, his back gave a small pop as he stood, he turned and began to walk away from the tub.
“Wait!” Fluttershy said as she wrapped her hoofs around his tail making him stop. He gave a small groan as he turned.
“What is it? I’m tired so I’m sure whatever it is it can---”
“I don’t have medicine here.” Fluttershy said cutting him off, forcing him to look down at her giving her a look like she just asked him to marry her.
“What?” Discord asked, obviously not believing her. He didn't think she was the kind of mare to make that kind of joke. In this current state even he found it in bad taste to do that.

“I...said...I don’t have...any medicine ...here.” Fluttershy said her voice getting more and quieter as she talked, slowly lowering her head not looking up at him anymore. Discord was thankful he had such good hearing.
“How in the name of chaos do you not have any medicine here!? You should have a damn pharmacy here for crying out loud!” Discord snapped at her angrily, making her flinch a little but still glaring up at him. He was starting to get sick of all the glaring he had been getting lately.
“I didn't have a choice!” She yelled back angrily but quickly covered her mouth. Discord blinked at her sudden outburst as she slowly removed her hoofs.
“I...had...to use...all...of...it.” She said quietly, Once again Discord thanked his good hearing. “What could possibly force you to use all of your medicine?” Discord asked annoyed, glaring down at her.
“My...animal friends...got...sick...and...and...I had...too...help...them.” Fluttershy said backing away lightly from Discord; he sighed as his head started to hurt and looked up at her.

“That’s your problem not mine, I've done my part.” Discord said dully, pulling his tail away from her as he began to walk out of the room. The first thing he was going to do when he got home is to take a hot fudge bath.
“Fine, leave....I...don't...need your....help.” Fluttershy said slightly more angry but still scared.
“Whatever, I’m sure the local pharmacy can give you what you need.” Discord said walking into the living room.
“They don’t have anymore.” a voice said getting Discord's attention, he looked around and spotted Spike in the corner hugging his knees.
“Excuse me?” Discord asked, already getting tired of being here. Spike looked up at him and he knew, he just knew he would regret asking. By this point in the day he was regretting just getting up.
“They gave all the medicine they had to the hospital, there’s none left.” Spike said sniffling a bit. Yup, he was right, he regretted asking as he felt his paw smack his head and gave a sigh.
“And how do you know—oh.” Discord started to ask but the realization came when he turned and looked back at a shivering Twilight. When had the tub moved to where he could see it was a mystery to him.
“There is medicine, just not here.” Fluttershy said walking into the room.
“Should you be leaving her alone in there?” Discord asked, looking over at Fluttershy and was surprised to see her glaring at him and sporting a yellow saddlebag.

“Like you would care, like you said, it’s not your problem.” Fluttershy said in the cold voice Discord had gotten used to by now, but it still made chills run up and down his spine.
“Where?” Spike asked looking up at her, worry on his face, tears stained his face again, it was obvious he had been crying the whole time Discord and Fluttershy were in the other room talking. Fluttershy bit her lower lip for a moment before answering.
“....the Everfree Forest.” Fluttershy said quietly, slightly shaking in fear as she thought about it, Discord looked at her in disbelief.
“You’re kidding right?” Discord asked in a deadpan tone, looking at her expecting her to laugh and say she was joking.
“No...I’m not.” Fluttershy said, fear still clear in her voice but had determination in her eyes, she was not joking but had determination in her eyes, she was not joking but had determination in her eyes, and it was clear that she was not joking.
“You’re crazy; you can barely be outside of your own home on a normal day.” Discord said firmly as he stepped up to her, she only looked down, not wanting to make eye contact with him.
“And I sure as heck know you haven’t been out since I took over.” He added a tiny bit of pride slipping into his voice, this made her look up at him, giving him a glare but he shrugged it off, maybe he should make it illegal to glare when he got back home.
“So I know for a fact you would not survive going into a place I avoid on a daily basis.” Discord said, making her look down.
“In fact I’m willing to bet my freedom that you would die if you do such a foolish thing. So you might want to think twice before you head off to your death, because I won’t save you.” Discord said coldly as he looked at his paw bored.

“I know...I know I’m a coward and….. That I would probably die doing such a thing.” Fluttershy said shaking lightly. Discord smiled thinking he had just saved a pony from going on a suicide mission, but his smile quickly faded when she looked up at him.
“But I don’t care! I'd gladly risk my life for my friends, something you don't know anything about!” She yelled, tears running down her face. Discord looked at her, a hurt expression passed on his face briefly before he looked out the window. Fluttershy stared for a moment wiping her tears away, the change in mood getting her attention as he gave a sad sigh.
“I thought I knew what that was like, to have friends the way you do, I really did but I was a fool to trust in something as ridiculous as friendship.” Discord said bitterly as he turned to look at her, She was taken back, she would have never guessed he had friends before. She felt a little guilty of course he had friends before but she just assumed no one liked him. It made her think… ‘What happened to him to make him dislike the idea of friendship so much?’

“You...you had friends?” Fluttershy asked looking at him, but quickly regretted when she saw the hurt look in his eyes. She felt sympathy for him, she wondered if maybe if she should ask him about it. But she knew when to ask and when to keep quiet and the look in his eyes told her not to push the issue.
“No...Not really. I thought I did though.” Discord said bitterly closing his eyes, she blushed slightly knowing she spaced out for a bit. She thought she would at least give it a shot even though she knew better.
“Do...do you want to---
“No.” Discord said firmly, making her shut up, knowing full well what she was about to ask. He’d be damned if he was going to open that door. She looked down shyly drawing on the floor a bit nodding. He stood there thinking, thinking about his next move. Should he just walk out and leave them to their fate? Or should he follow her? Should he even lift a finger to do anything? If those 2 died, it would guarantee his rule forever. But something nagged at him, a tiny voice, a tiny annoying voice whispering though his mind. How he hated that tiny voice, what he would give to strangle the little basted. Fluttershy watched silently as he stood there quietly and, after what felt like hours, he sighed as he looked at her.

“She needs something to help heal that cut and get rid of any infection correct?” He asked, his eyes watching her like a hawk, that scared her a bit but she nodded.
“Yeah...I can keep her temperature down for a bit but if we get rid of the infection it should solve most if not all the problems she has.” Fluttershy said, not knowing what else to say, but something told her this was going in a good direction. Discord gave a groan as he turned and began to walk away.
“...I’ll be back then.” Discord said annoyed as he walked over to a window and opened it.
“Why? Where are you going!?” Fluttershy yelled as she ran to the window, worried about what he had in mind, but she was too late as Discord flew out of the window just as she got there.
“Where is he going!?” Spike yelled as he ran to the window, hopping onto Fluttershy’s back and looked out just in time to see Discord’s outline disappear into the Everfree Forest. The two of them stood there watching for a bit before Fluttershy spoke.
“That's a good question Spike.” Fluttershy said as she looked up, not knowing what else to say or what to do. She stared for a moment before turning.

“Spike, I need your help, can you help me with a few things?” Fluttershy asked, looking up at the small dragon on her back.
“Uh, sure, no problem.” He said, still looking at the window.
“What are you up too?” Spike thought to himself as he looked in the direction Discord was flying in. As the window went out of view Spike sighed, he thought he had figured Discord out, but then he does something that is so out of character like this. Then again, it was out of character for him to help him out of in the first place. Or was it? As Spike bounced slightly with the steps Fluttershy took something dawned on him as they made it to the kitchen. Did anyone actually know anything about him? He gave a weak smile as he glance back as if expecting to see him.
“I guess that’s why they call you the spirit of chaos.” he said quietly, smiling as they walked into the kitchen. His smile continued as he thought about the spirit he had come to know a little bit more, and one thing was for sure. He wasn't such a heartless monster after all.
