The lost princess of Equestria

Once upon a time, in the land of Equestria. There lived two ruling alicorns, King Nightfall, and Queen Galaxia. At the time the queen was pregnant with a girl, but she was terribly sick, and if she didn't get better both she and the baby would die.

King Nightfall was devastated by this and did everything he could to help. But one day an ancient sorceress said she could help, but it came with a price: if she would help the queen get better, when the child was born she would be given her.
The king really didn't want to give up his only child, but he couldn't bear the pain of losing his wife either.

So he choose to save his wife and give up his daughter, at least she would be in good hooves.

It was a bright sunny morning in the tower and Celestia was up and ready to start the day.
Celestia gave a tiny yawn and went to go wake up Twilight her best friend, Twilight was a chameleon, Celestia had rescued her from a snake a few years ago, and now they were best friends.

''Twilight!'' Celestia yelled ''It's almost time for breakfast!'' She continued, before she could say anything else, there was a purple chameleon dashing madly down the stairs.

''Oh there you are Twilight'' she said as Twilight climbed up on her shoulder ''I was about to make chocolate pancakes want some?'' she said pointing to table where a plate of pancakes were laid on with some milk next to it.
Twilight instantly nodded as they both made their way to the kitchen.

''So I'm finally gonna do it... I'm going to ask mom!'' she exclaimed before sticking her fork in the pancakes and levitating them to her mouth and then stuffed her face.
Every year, on her birthday she would notice lanterns, but these ones were special: they would only come out on her birthday.
She would always dream of someday going to them or at least outside, her mom never let her go anywhere, she would always ask why...but she never got an answer.

Twilight nodded before eating her own chameleon-sized pancakes.
They both continued to eat,
There was a long silence

When Celestia said
''What if she says no and then I'm stuck here for the rest of my LIFE!'' she moaned before a tear came rolling down her face and on to her muzzle.

''w-what if I never leave this tower'' she whimpered, as Twilight came over and gave her a tiny nuzzle on the face (since she was tiny)
Twilight gave her a warming smile

She returned it with stroking her back with her hoof.

They would always hug when they were feeling down, they would always comfort each other, they were BFF's always together.

Seven a.m., the usual morning lineup
Start on the chores and sweep 'till the floor's all clean
Polish and wax, do laundry, and mop and shine up
Sweep again, and by then it's like 7:15

And so I'll read a book
Or maybe two or three
I'll add a few new paintings to my gallery
I'll play guitar and knit
And cook and basically
Just wonder when will my life begin?

Then after lunch it's puzzles and darts and baking
Paper mache, a bit of ballet and chess
Pottery and ventriloquy, candle making
Then I'll stretch, maybe sketch, take a climb
Sew a dress!

And I'll reread the books
If I have time to spare
I'll paint the walls some more
I'm sure there's room somewhere
And then I'll brush and brush
And brush and brush my hair
Stuck in the same place I've always been

And I'll keep wanderin' and wanderin'
And wanderin' and wonderin'
When will my life begin?

And tomorrow night
The lights will appear
Just like they do on my birthday each year
What is it like
Out there where they glow?
Now that I'm older
Mother might just
Let me go

Celestia sighed.
"When will my life begin?"

''Run!, Run! Run!'' somepony shouted angrily

''There on to us!!'' the other yelled annoyed

''WHAT DO WE DO?!'' they both yelled in unison.

''relax guys'' the supposed leader of this gang said in a calm voice.''You see that small hill?'' he asked pointing to a small hill
''Well I want you two to lift me up, so I can pull you. Got it?'' he said quickly still running

''how do we know you're not tricking us?'' one of them asked raising an eyebrow.

''Oh just do it!'' he said rolling his eyes.

So the to men picked him up and put him on the top of the hill, and he just kept on running, he didn't care what he said he just didn't want to go to jail.

He kept running and running till he saw a bush so he dove into it.
''phew! Close one'' he sighed, he was sure he was going to get caught, running for ages without getting captured, betraying his 'friends', and now hiding while they were going to get caught and thrown in jail. He couldn't help but feel a little bad yet they helped him steal the crown.

His thoughts were put to an end when he noticed a tunnel with a light at the end, obviously, he was going to down it, he couldn't stay here forever.

He crouched down and crawled through the grassy and weirdly itchy tunnel towards the light.

''What the hell'' he muttered to himself.

Standing before him, was a really tall tower, with no entrance, the only possible way in was through a window at the top of the tower.

''Where is this place?'' he questioned himself looking around there was a river, nice flowers, lots of sunlight

''Well might as well stay...since I have nowhere else to go'' he said to himself.

He started walking towards the tower, take out his daggers and started to use them to climb the tower.

He reached the top and stepped inside and smelt pancakes, he was walking around the tower, when he noticed a curtain on the wall and just before he could pull it open, he got smacked in the head with a frying pan held in a golden aura.

''Who are you?!'' Celestia asked intimidatingly at him, she looked at him then looked at Twilight, who was also staring at the guy Celestia just knocked out.

''Your not a pony are you?'' she asked noticing he had many different body parts: The head of a pony, the body like some sort of snake except brown, the wing of a bat and pony, the paw of a lion and the claw of an eagle and the leg of a dragon and a donkey.

He groaned, rubbing the back of his head, it still ached from when he got hit in the back of the head.

''WHAT THE HELL!?'' he yelled at her, looking Celestia directly in the eye as if she was going to make some sort of attack, but she just looked at him.

He tried to move, he was stuck in some sort of trap, he looked down and realized it was... Hair? Why was he trapped in hair?
How was he trapped in hair?

He looked down to see where the source of all this hair was coming from, his eyes looked up and saw the hair was coming from the pony who knocked him out. How in the world was her hair this long? He asked himself, then it hit him, could she be the lost princess? No, she couldn't.

''Are you ok?'' she asked looking a little concerned, she looked at him then looked at Twilight, who was still looking him then, then looked at the unusual creature.

Snapping out of his daze he just looked at her, then little Twilight on her shoulder, then her unusually long hair.

''W-why is your hair so long?'' he asked giving her an amazed and confused look, he tried to reach out his hand to touch it, but then remembered he was tied by it.

''Well'' she said stepping back a little,
''I was just born like this''

''Oh, okay'' Discord said looking at the chameleon on her shoulder, "who's this" he asked

''This is Twilight she- hey why am i telling you this?!" she said

He just shrugged

''Well then, would you be so kind to untie me please, since I have no business here it makes sense to just let me go, right?''
He said with pleading eyes

''If you have no business here then why were you here in the first place?'' Celestia asked as both she and Twilight rolled their eyes at him, there were sure he was hiding something.

Then Celestia's eyes fell on to the bag on his shoulder, there was something shining in it, just when she was going to step forward and grab it, she was interrupted by her mother's voice.

She couldn't let her see the stallion or whatever he was was here.

She picked him up in her golden aura and opened the closet nearby and through him in.

''Stay in there and don't make a sound'' she said harshly as she made her way to the window and through her hair down.

''Hi'' Celestia said excitedly

''Hello dear'' Her mom said ''I'm really tired, please can you sing to me?'' she asked sweetly.

''Sure'' Celestia chirped walking over to a chair and a stool, she sat on the stool and her mom on the chair.

Flower, gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse,
Bring back what once was mine

She sang as her hair started glowing and raising and then stopped when she stopped singing.

Discord, on the other hand, heard her singing and looked through the crack in the closet, he noticed her mother didn't look like her at all,
Instead, she had a black coat, a green mane and she was wearing a purple dress with golden lace at her hips. But one thing that caught his attention was her eyes, they were like that of a cat or something.

''I brought hazelnuts'' she exclaimed ''now I can make you hazelnut soup!'' she said setting down her saddle bag and reaching in to bring out a bag of hazelnuts.

''Ok thank you mum'' she said quickly ''uh, c-can I ask you something?'' she said look at her nervously.

"Of course dear," she said walking to her ''what is it?"

''Well, you know it's my birthday and was wondering if I could go outside to see the stars?" she said quietly.

"Celestia, again with the mumbling," her mom said ''please repeat that?"

''I wanna go outside, to see the lights, please I wouldn't go far, I promise!" she whined.

"You want to go outside?" she said closing the curtains "why Celestia"

Look at you as fragile as a flower
Still a little sapling, just a sprout
You know why we stay up in this tower

"I know but-"

That's right, to keep you safe
Guess I always knew this day was coming,
Knew that soon you'd want to leave to nest,
Soon, but not yet

"But.."

Shh!
Trust me, pet
Mother knows best

Mother knows best
Listen to your mother
It's a scary world out there
Mother knows best
One way or another
Something will go wrong, I swear
Ruffians, thugs,
Poison ivy, quicksand,
Cannibals and snakes,
The plague.

"No"

"Yes"

"But..."

also large bugs,
Colts with pointy teeth,
And, stop no more
You'll just upset me

Mother's right here,
Mother will protect you,
Darling, here's what I suggest.

skip the drama
Stay with mama
Mother.knows.best!

Go ahead,
Get trampled by a rhino,
Go ahead,
Get mugged and left for dead,
Me, I'm just your mother
What do i know?

Only bathed, changed and nursed you,
Go ahead and leave me,
I deserve it,
Let me die alone here, be my guest.

When it's too late,
you'll see, just wait
Mother knows best.

Mother knows best,
take it from your mumsy,
on your own, you won't survive.
Sloppy, under dressed,
immature, clumsy

Please, they'll eat you alive,
gullible, naive,
positively grubby,
ditsy and a bit, well, hmm
vague!

Plus i believe,
gettin' kinda chubby

I just sayin'
cus i wuv you
mother understands
mother's here to help you
all i have is one request.

"Celestia?" she asked in a none singing voice

"yes?"

"don't ever ask to leave this tower again"

"yes, mother"

"Now, Celestia" she said warmly "are you sure you'll be alright here alone?" she asked.

"Yes, i'll be fine" she said reassuringly

Celestia through down her hair, as her mom climbed down.

"Goodbye, Celestia, i love you" she said waving from the bottom of the tower.

"i love you more" she said waving back.

"i love you most" she said as she disaperred into the woods.

"Now, to deal with the guy in my closet" Celestia sighed, looking back at the closet where she had hid the strange creature who broke into her house.

"This should be fun."

Author's Note

Sorry, but it ends here, next chapter in the making:derpytongue2:

~Frosty_Rainbow~:heart:

Roadtrip to a Kingdom, sounds fun!

Celestia walked over to the closet and opened the door, and a body flung right on top of her, knocking her down to the ground along with Twilight on her shoulder.

"Get off me" Celestia said underneath him.

"Then untie me!" He said, fidgeting around in the chair he was tied to.

"No!" Celestia said, deciding to just teleport out of there.

"Now, what's in the bag?" She asked, picking up an empty frying pan and pointing it at him.

"Why don't you check for yourself? Oh and my name is Discord, if you wanted to know" He said flatly.

"Mine Celestia" She replied.

Celestia picks up the bag with her magic and carefully pulls out a golden crown with crystals in it.'
"Why would he have this in here?" Celestia asked herself, walking over to a full length mirror and trying it on.
At first she thought it was a bracelet, then an anklet but then she tried it on her head, she stared at herself in it for a while, before Twilight just shock her head, and she took it off and set it on the table.

"What is it for?" She asked him, still looking at the crown in curiosity.

"Seriously, I thought you were putting me out of my misery but acting confused, but you don't know what a CROWN is?!"
Discord asked her in shock.

"In my defense I've never left this tower" She said looking offended at his out burst

"So, when are you planing on, ya know, releasing me?" He asked getting bored and tired of sitting.

"Okay, lemme make you a deal, I will release you, but only if you promise to take me to the floating lights, and if you don't, well" Celestia paused to levitate the crown over to her. "I keep this." She finished putting back the crown.

"Do you mean the lanterns?" He asked her. "And yes, I agree to you deal, but you have to promise to give me back my crown ok?"

"Fine." She said untying her hair from the seat. "There you go, no take me to the lights er lanterns" Celestia said pointing to the window/door.

"Ok" He said walking to the window/door and slowly climbing out, then remembering he had wings, he flew down instead.
"C'mon Rainbow" He yelled at her from the ground.

Celestia looked hesitantly at the exit and slowly flew down too, her long mane blowing back behind her, and right before she touched the ground, she look at it, then at Twilight, then it again.
"Should I do it Twilight?" She whispered to her, she just nodded.
"Ok here goes nothing." And with that, she put one hoof down, seeing it was okay, she put the other to.

"What's this called?" She asked Discord.

"It's called grass" He said rolling his eyes at her

"Grass, I like it, it's so soft" Celestia cooed, rolling around in the grass with Twilight, who seemed to be enjoying it too.

"C'mon we have to go now, remember?" Discord remaindered her.

"Oh right, come on Twi we gotta go." Celestia said sadly, as twilight climbed up on her shoulder looking at the grass, then
Celestia walked towards Discord, her long her trailing behind her.

After about an hour of walking, both of them were starving.

"I'm hungry!" Celestia whined. "Do you know some place we can eat?" She asked him

"Yes this place called the...snuggly duckling, c'mon it's this way." Discord said leading them through the forest.
"Yes, here we are, the snuggly duckling, this is the perfect place for you!" He exclaimed

"Well, I do like ducklings." She said as the both walked in.

"Gentlemen, your finest table please." Discord said.

Celestia and Twilight just stared, this place wasn't snuggly at all. Instead, there were stallions with hooks, axes and a few with swords and even this one stallion with rats. Celestia pulled out her frying pan pointing it at them in fear as Discord lead her through the place as everyone in there looked at them.
One of them picked up her hair while she was walking, causing her to shriek.

"Wow, that's a lot of hair" he said, which just made Celestia pick up her hair in her golden aura and run to the other side of the room, accidentally bumping into somepony, who just growled at her, causing her to shriek again.

"You don't look so good Rainbow, maybe we should get ya home, call it a day? Probably better off, this is a five-star joint after all and if you can't handle this place maybe you should be at your tower." He said walking her to the door, and right before he could get out, somepony slammed the door, and said:

"Hey! is this you?!" pointing at a poster saying wanted with his face on it.

"Ugh! They still haven't gotten it right!" He muttered.

"Oh it's him alright, Ronald! Go get some guards. That reward gonna get me a new hook" He said, grabbing Discord by his shirt.

"Oh no! That reward money is mine!" Another one said, snatching Discord.

"No it's mine!" The guy who had been touching Celestia's hair said, taking Discord and running to the other side of the room.
Pretty soon all the guys were fighting over him, while Celestia was shouting at them, begging them to stop, but they didn't listen. So she ignited her horn and made a loud bang sound, causing everyone to stop fighting and look at her.

"PUT HIM DOWN!" She yelled at them making them take out their weapons. "Ok, I don't know where I am so I need him to take me to the lanterns, cause it's been my dream ever since I was little! Find your humanity! Haven't any of you ever had a dream!?" She asked them.

And the guy with the hook took out his axe and walked towards her. "I once had a dream."

I'm malicious, mean and scary
My sneer could curdle dairy
And violence-wise my hands are not the cleanest
But despite my evil look and my temper and my hook
I've always yearned to be a concert pianist

He's got a dream
He's got a dream
See, I ain't as cruel and vicious as I seem
Though I do like breaking femurs, you can count me with the dreamers
Like everybody else, I've got a dream

I've got scars and lumps and bruises
Plus something here that oozes
And let's not even mention my complexion
But despite my extra toes
And my goiter
And my nose
I really want to make a love connection

Can't you see me with a special little lady
Rowing in a rowboat down a stream
Though I'm one disgusting blighter
I'm a lover, not a fighter
'Cause way down deep inside I've got a dream

I've got a dream
He's got a dream
I've got a dream
He's got a dream
And I know one day romance will reign supreme
Though my face leaves people screaming
There's a child behind it dreaming
Like everybody else, I've got a dream

Toll would like to quit and be a florist
Gunter does interior design
Urf is into mime
Attila's cupcakes are sublime
Bruiser knits
Killer sews
Ven does little puppet shows
And Vladimir collects ceramic unicorns

"What about you?" Hook guy said to Discord

"What's your dream?" The guy who wanted love said

"No I'm sorry colts, I don't sing" He said and all of them pointed swords to him, forcing him too.

I have dreams like you, no really
Just much less touchy-feely
They mainly happen somewhere warm and sunny
On an island that I own
Tan and rested and alone
Surrounded by enormous piles of money

I've got a dream
She's got a dream
I've got a dream
She's got a dream
I just want to see the floating lanterns gleam
And with every passing hour
I'm so glad I left my tower
Like all you lovely folks, I've got a dream

She's got a dream
She's got a dream
They got a dream
We've got a dream
So our differences ain't really that extreme
We're one big team

Call us brutal
Sick
Sadistic
And grotesquely optimistic
'Cause way down deep inside we've got a dream
I've got a dream
I've got a dream
I've got a dream
I've got a dream
I've got a dream
I've got a dream
Yes, way down deep inside, I've got a dream
Yeah!

From outside the snuggly duckling, someone was listening, someone like Celestia's mother.

P.S. The drama is next:twilightoops:

Mother's Come To Kill

"I found the guards" Ronald said, entering the room with cheer.

Discord just looked shocked, if the guards came here then that would mean he'd go to prison.
But hook guy had an idea, he pulled a lever, revealing a secret tunnel they could use to escape.
Discord crawled for dear life while Celestia stayed to thank them.

A few seconds later, guards rushed through the door and immediately searching the place.

"Sir, there's no sign of Rider" One guard said to the captain.
There was dog in the guards team, who was sniffing out there scent.

"Follow Maximus" The captain to the other guards, as he started to crawl down the same tunnel Celestia and Discord used, and the other guards followed.

Back with Celestia and Discord, they were half way through the tunnel.

"So way exactly are you so interested in these lanterns?" Discord asked

"Well, they only come out once a year, on my birthday, but I've always wondered why, and always dreamed of seeing them"
Celestia replied looking down at the ground.
They continued walking, Discord noticed the ground was shaking.

"Uh Celly, we gotta go, like now" Discord said grabbing her hoof and running with her.

"Why, what's happening, and who said you can call me 'Celly'?" She said running with him and noticing the the ground was shaking too.

"No time to explain, just run!" He said as they both ran faster.

"I see them captain" guard said noticing them. "This way!!" he yelled

Celestia and Discord made it to the end of the tunnel, the guards not far behind.

"Discord, who's that?" Celestia said collecting all of her hair in a golden bubble.

"Let's just say, they don't like me." Discord said trying to find a way out of the ravine.

"Ah huh! I have an idea." Celestia said releasing her hair out of the bubble.

"What and say it fast!" Discord said noticing the guards right behind them.

"Jump!" Celestia said jumping into the ravine with Twilight.

"WHAT?!!?" Discord yelled at her, though she didn't hear.
he really didn't want to go to prison, so he just did it.

"What now captain?" A guard asked the captain.

"We wait." The captain replied staring down into the ravine. "They can't stay there forever you know."

The other guards just confusedly looked at him.

Mean while, Celestia and Discord were trapped in a very small cave, that was slowly filling up with water.
Discord was trying to find a way out while Celestia trying to remove the water, both ended up failing.

"I never should have done this" Celestia said starting to cry. "I never should have left." she said wiping her tears.

"C'mon don't give up yet Celly, there has to be a way out of here." Discord said trying to push the rocks to see if the had a secret exit, and ended up cutting himself.

"I have hair that glows when sing." Celestia realized

"What?" Discord said looking at her. the water was starting to flood up to there necks

Flow gleam and glow
Let your power shine

Celestia sang, as her hair started glowing the water fully flooded the cave and they had to hold there breath.
Her hair also showed them a way out, a tiny hole in the rocks that they could push open to be free.

Discord pushed the rocks revealing an exit that they swam through.

"Her hair glows" Discord gasped in shock as the made their way to land.

"Were alive." Celestia said, relieved as she climbed out of the water and went to go get her hair out as well.

"And it doesn't just glow." She said pulling her hair out of the river.

"Really, what else does it do?" He curiously asked.

Discord got out of the river too and walked over a tree and sat on the roots.

"My hair can also....heal wounds" she said walking over to him.
Celestia took his hurt hand and wrapped her hair around it.

"Uhm, what are you doing?" He asked

"Trust me" She said and started to sing.

Flower, gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine

Heal what has been hurt
Change the Fates' design
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine

What once was mine

She sang with her hair glowing.

"Now unwrap it" She said to him.

Discord looked at her, then his hair-covered-hand then at her again, and finally unwrapped it.
He looked at her in shock, the cut was...GONE!

"WHAT?! HOW?!" He said looking at his hand.

"Please don't freak out" She said

"H-how long have you been able to do that?" He asked a bot calm.

"Forever, I guess." She replied. "A gift like that has to be protected." She said sadly looking at the ground.
Twilight came and climbed up on her shoulder and hugged her sympathetically.

And Discord came and gave her a little hug

Meanwhile the two criminals who help Discord get the crown had escaped and were looking for him.

"Hello boys" A voice said

"Who are you?!" One demanded

"I'm Chrysalis and I have a deal for you"

"Why in Equestria would we listen to you!?!?"

Chrysalis didn't reply and instead just took out a brown bag and gave it to them.

"If you help me with what I want, I'll help you get revenge on Flynn Rider" She said to them.

They look at each other then agreed.

"Deal" They both said.

"Good" She said evilly.

Back with Celestia and Discord,
well Discord had gone to get more firewood, and left Celestia and Twilight alone.
They were sitting around the fire, waiting, when suddenly somepony came out of the bushes, it was Celestia's mother, Chrysalis.

"Hello Celestia" She said walking towards her.

"Mother! I-i'm so sorry I didn't mean too-" She cut off by her 'mother's' hug, and she hugged her back .

"How did you find me?" Celestia asked, pulling out of the hug.

"It doesn't matter now, we are going home Celestia." She said pulling her hoof as she walked.

"Mother wait!" Celestia said yanking her hoof away. "I-i think he likes me" She said with an almost dreamy sigh.

"Like you? Please Celestia that's demented." Chrysalis said.

"But Mother I-"

"This is way you never should have left!" She stated.

Celestia just sighed.

"Dear this whole 'romance' that you've invented" her mother said shaking her head. "Just proves you're too naive to be here." She said walking over to Celestia.

"Why would he like you? Come on now really?" Chrysalis said. "Look at you! You think that he's impressed" She said lifting her her.

"Don't be a dummy, come with mummy. Mother knows best!" She said with open arms.

"No!" Celestia shouted at her.

"No? oh, I see how it is."

Celestia knows best
Celestia's so mature now
Such a clever grown up, miss.

Celestia knows best, fine if your so sure now,
Go ahead and give him, this!

"How did you?" Celestia questioned her.

"This is why he's here Celestia! Don't let him devise you! Give it to him, watch you see!"

"I will!"

"Trust me my dear, that's how fast he'll leave you! I won't say 'I told you so!'"

Now, Celestia knows best!
So if he's such a dream boat
Go and put him to the test!!!

"Mother, wait-" Celestia said calling after her.

If he's lying
Don't come crying!

Mother knows worse!

And with that, she was gone.

Romance in the Stars

"Celly? You there?" Discord asked carrying back more wood.

"Oh, uh, Yea" Celestia replied hiding the crown.

Little did they know, they were being watched, by non-other than the two criminals and Chrysalis.

It was morning now, birds were chirping and Celestia and Discord were still fast asleep.
Discord was the first to wake up, due to the fact the there was slobber all over his face.

"Well, I hope you're here to apologize," Discord said to the thing that was drooling on his face.
But that wasn't the case, instead, the creature just started tugging at his leg, which eventually woke him up.
After he woke up, it still wouldn't let go.

"Rainbow! A little help!?" He screamed at the sleeping mare. She still didn't move.
He soon got an idea.

"Celestia!" Discord said imitating her mother, which to his delight woke her up.

"Mother?!" She screamed, jolting awake.

"No, just Discord, now if you don't mind I have a freakin' dog chewing on my leg!" He yelled at her.

"Oh, lemme help with that," Celestia said starting to pull the dog off his leg, but he didn't give up yet.
Celestia used some magic and he popped right off. sadly, there were bit marks and slobber all over his leg.

"There, all done." She said picking up the dog with her magic. "Now what's your name little guy" She cooed.
The dog stuck out his chest to reveal a golden collar with the name MAXIMUS on it.
"Maximus, that's a nice name, wait...you work for the royal guard don't you?!" That sentence made Discord freeze in shock.

"Rainbow, put down the dog and let's go." Discord said, watching the Maximus cautiously.

"Oh it's fine Dissy, he's a good boy, yes you are, yes you are~" Celestia cooed, rubbing the dog's tummy.

"May I remind you he works for the ROYAL GUARD!"

"Well, I think you two should start getting along, cause Max is coming with us." Celestia stated.

"Fine" Discord said rolling his eyes, Max doing the same.

"Come on, this will be fun!" Celestia said gleefully.

"Okay, but we gotta start moving if were gonna make it on time, and remember our deal, I take you to the lights, you-"

"Yeah, yeah I know. Lets start going though, come on Maxy, come on." Celestia said to Max, as he started to follow.

A few hours later, they finally made it to the kingdom. It was breath taking.

There was a big bridge made of cobblestone that lead from the forest to the town, the first thing they saw was the castle.
It was huge, tall and the center of the kingdom. It had bright white walls and a shine aqua roof, there was a balcony that had the crest of the kingdom on it, a bright golden sun.

"Oh my gosh! This place is amazing!" Celestia exclaimed.'

"Yeah, sure is." Discord said sarcastically.

They started to walk through the town, when so many interesting things caught Celestia's eye.
There were golden bracelets with the kingdom symbol on them, necklaces with pearls and a shop that was selling tiny flags and hats with the kingdom sun.

They continued walking, when Discord noticed everyone was staring at Celestia's hair.
Mostly because it was dragging around and tripping ponies who didn't see it there.

"Uh, Tia, the hair." Discord said pointing at her hair.

"What about it?" Celestia asked putting on one of the hats she purchased.

"It's too long, and where did you get the money to buy the hat?!" Discord asked eyeing her suspiciously.

"Your wallet." She said continuing to walk.

"But-how?" He asked, catching up to her.

"Should have hid it better." She replied, not turning around to face him.

Max and Twilight nodded in agreement.

"Anyway, about the hair...." Discord said, looking around. he spotted four fillies by a fountain braiding each others manes. He whistled to them, and then pointed to Celestia's mane. They gladly helped.

When they were done with her hair, it was no longer dragging on the ground, instead it was in a cute long braid with flowers of all sort.

"Thank you so much it looks beautiful." Celestia said to the four fillies.

"No problem." Said one of the fillies.

Discord had gone to get them some snacks and when he came back, he saw Celestia and immediately forgot what he was doing and stared at her in shock and amazement. He was blushing so much, his face was red.

"Discord are you ok?" Celestia asked in concern.

"Y-yeah I'm fine" He replied snapping out of his daze.

"Ooh snacks." Celestia said noticing he was holding food, she took most of it and greedily stuffed it in her mouth.

Twilight and Max just stared at her in shock and horror.

When Celestia was done with the snacks, she went to dance with the other ponies.

The rest of the day was filled with fun and excitement, even for Twilight and Max.
Celestia and Discord bought so many things, a flag, some stuffed animals and two cupcakes.
They really bounded.

It was finally evening, when the lanterns usually come up.
Discord decided it would be best if they were on a boat.

They rowed and rowed until Celestia spotted one lantern come up and excitedly went to the end of the boat to get a better view.
Soon the whole sky was filled with them.

"This is exciting for ya, ain't it rainbow?" Discord asked smuggly.

"Yes! Yes it really is..." Celestia said looking at him sheepishly. "Uh Dissy, thanks."

"For what?"

"Everything, thank you for taking me here. Thank you for an amazing day, and thank you for being an amazing friend." Celestia said, looking deeply in his eyes.

"Your welcome" Discord replied, blushing a little.

All those days watching from the windows
All those years outside looking in
All that time never even knowing
Just how blind I've been
Now I'm here blinking in the starlight
Now I'm here suddenly I see
Standing here it's all so clear
I'm where I'm meant to be

And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything looks different
Now that I see you

All those days chasing down a daydream
All those years living in a blur
All that time never truly seeing
Things, the way they were
Now she's here shining in the starlight
Now she's here suddenly I know
If she's here it's crystal clear
I'm where I'm meant to go

And at last I see the light

And it's like the fog has lifted

And at last I see the light

And it's like the sky is new

And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything is different
Now that I see you

Now that I see you

Celestia and Discord leaned in for a kiss. their lips drew closer and closer, until their mouths were touching.
The kiss was magical, for both of them.
Discord put his lion paw on Celestia's shoulder and drew her closer to him and Celestia put her hoof on his neck to hold.

They finally pulled away.

"Celestia...there's something I need to tell you."

Author's Note

HAHAHAHHAHAHA!

YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER!!!

I'm so sorry for this cliff hanger.

Also!

In the movie Maximus is a horse, in MLP, THEIR ALL HORSES!
So Maximus is a dog in this.
Have a problem? I don't care.

Truth be told

"Celestia...there's something I need to tell you."

Before Discord could speak, Celestia put her hoof on his mouth to shush him.

"Shh, don't say anything, just...enjoy." She said calmly.

"Enjoy what?" Discord asked, tilting his head slightly in confusion.

"This." Celestia said as she leaned in to kiss him.

Discord felt her soft lips press down on his, and he returned the kiss with a muffled sigh.

The kiss, again, only lasted for a few minutes before they both broke the kiss for air.

"I love you Celestia" Discord said, his face was as red as a tomato.

Celestia giggled. "I love you too Discord."

What felt like hours was only a few minuets before the lantern festival was over, and all the boats who had rowed out for a better look were now returning to shore, including Celestia and Discord.

The words Celestia's mother had told her before she disappeared were ring in her head over and over.

"If he's lying
Don't come crying! Mother knows worse

But she chose to ignore them, she knew Discord loved her and she loved him too and that's all that mattered to her.

"Well Celly, it's been fun, but now we gotta get you back up in that tower before your mom notices you're gone."

"Wait, what?" Celestia exclaimed "Back in the tower, Discord are you insane!?"

Discord was shocked at her sudden outburst, but replied very calmly. "Tia, your mother will be worried sick if she finds out you're missing, and just admit it, you'll never survive on your own in this world."

"Survive on my own, Discord, I thought you love me!" Celestia said, looking him in the eye with an expression he had never seen on her before. Hate.

"Celestia I do love you, but I- " Discord was cut off when she gave him a hard SMACK that left a red spot on his cheek.

"What aren't you telling me Discord, just say it!" She now looked desperate to know the truth.

"I'M NOT WHO I SAY I AM, OK!" Discord suddenly yelled.

"W-what do you mean?" Celestia asked.

"I'm a liar, a theif, a bad person." He said looking down at the ground and kicking some of the dirt. "I don't want to be with you cause...''

"I don't want to hurt you."

Celestia felt like she had been stabbed in the heart after hearing that.
Hurt her?
What was he talking about?

"That crown you found in my bag...I..I stole it."

"WHAT?!" Celestia exclaimed "Discord, that crown...did you steal it from the palace?" She asked, hoping the answer was no.

It took Discord a moment to answer, but then he mustered up the courage to talk.

"Yes, I stole it from the palace"

Celestia winced at hearing that.
Was her mom right about him being bad?
No, she couldn't possibly be.

Right?

"Discord, is that why you're running from the guards? Are...are you a wanted criminal?" Celestia looked like she was about to cry, she was wishing this was all a dream, and that she would wake up in her comfy bed back at the tower.

Right now Celestia wanted nothing more than to go home

The bag she remembered.
She remembered hiding that bag back at the tower behind a flower pot.

She ignited her horn and poof, the bag appeared in her magical aura.

"Take it." Celestia said, handing him the bag. "Take it and run."

"C-celestia." Discord stuttered "You can't be serious, can't I just return it?" Discord asked desperately.

"No. even if you return it, they will still put you in prison, of even worse, kill you!" Celestia wasn't joking, in fact she was dead serious, there was no arguing with that.

"Celly, is this some sort of sick joke? I..I can't always be on the run from some guards, can I?"

DO YOU WANT TO DIE?!!?" Celestia yelled at him, blinking back some tears. "I don't want you to be on the run, cause you're afraid of getting caught. But you made the decision to steal that crown. You made the decision to enter a life of crime, and it's you who made the decision to stay this way, not thinking about the consequences of your actions!
So be grateful I'm even helping you, ok?!"

Discord just blinked.
He wasn't sure whether to cry or run.
He wanted to do both.

She was right though, he did make a decision to be this way, but did she know why? No!
Even if, he was too tired to argue with her.
Out of all their fights, this had to be the worse one yet.

He just couldn't take the tension any longer.

So he flew.

He spread his small mismatched wings and flew without even knowing where he was going, he just wanted to get away, from her, from the town, from life!

He flew up into the clouds, where all was peaceful, he found a nice, round, fluffy cloud and decided to rest on it.

He looked down at the city and started to cry.

"I'm a monster, she'll never love someone like me" Discord sobbed.

Celestia was still trying to process what happened.

Part of her felt like running away too, but another part of her felt like going to look for him.

Sh needed to apologize

But she decided to wait until tomorrow to do it.
It was already dark, and she needed to find a place to sleep.

She was out wondering about in the dark streets of the town, she had knocked on six doors, five declined, and one was drunk.
It was shivering cold and Celestia couldn't take it any longer, maybe Discord was right, maybe she isn't ready for the world.

She just decided to go back to the tower, since it was a long walk there, she was about teleported.
But before she did, she remembered that she had left Twilight with Max at the dock.
It was very dark, the only source of light was the moon.
Celestia galloped in the direction of where she thought the dock would be and she was right.
On the dock, lay a fluffy white dog and in it's paws, was Twilight, sleeping ever so peacefully.

Celestia just stared at Max and Twilight, for about five minuets, watch Twilight slept so peacefully in Max's paws, she didn't want to disturb them, but she also didn't want to leave her there.

So with much care, Celestia picked up Twilight with her magic and held her right in front of her face and whispered

"Good night Twi" And put her on her shoulder and trot over to Max, and gave him a peck on his head, causing him to wake up.

"Bye Max, I wish I could take you with me, but you have to stay here, to serve the guard." Celestia whispered, stroking Max's head.
He seemed sad, but then nodded and jogged away into the town.

Celestia looked to her shoulder, to see if Twilight was still sleeping, and she was, her body raising and falling with each breath.

"Time to go home buddy"

Celestia ignited her horn and in a flash, she and Twilight were gone.

Celestia and Twilight had arrived the tower.
Lucky for them, Celestia's mother had not returned yet.

Celestia set Twilight down on the table, and covered her with a small blanket and trotted off into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

While cooking, all the memories of what happened earlier with Discord, rushed into her head like a wave.
She couldn't help but cringe when she remembered the look on his face, he looked scared, lonely and desperate.
Celestia was feeling even more guilty than before, it was all her fault that Discord flew away.

"After all he did for me, that's how I repay him, I'm a terrible pony." Celestia muttered to her self, her ears flattened to her head and tears were being to form in her eyes.
Celestia tried to blink them away, but despite her efforts, she began to cry.

She stopped what she was doing, turned off the gas, and ran out of the kitchen to have a good cry.

Twilight was already awake and saw Celestia run away crying.
So she quickly hoped off the table and began to climbed the stairs to Celestia's room.
Lucky for her, Celestia had built Twilight her own tiny staircase that also lead to upstairs.

Twilight reached the top of the stairs and immediately heard a crying noise from Celestia's room.
The closer Twilight got, the louder that cry got.
And then Twilight pushed open hey tiny door that Celestia built her and entered the dark room.

On the bed, there was an alicorn figure laying on the bed sobbing like crazy into her pillow.

Twilight couldn't talk, but she was really good when it came to comforting Celestia.

Twilight climbed up onto the bed and put hey small chameleon hand/claw on her hoof and started stroking it gently.

Celestia raised her head to at Twilight, and smiled slightly.

Celestia's eyes were red and slightly puffy and her noise was a bit runny, there were tear stains going from her eyes to her chin.
She looked horrible.

Twilight gave her a heartwarming smile, but that failed to make her smile.
Then she gave her a sad sympathetic look as if to say "What's wrong?"

"Oh Twilight, I'm a terrible pony!" Celestia said, as she started to cry. "Earlier today, when you were with Max, me and Discord...had a moment on the boat." Celestia said, looking at Twilight with dreamy eyes.

"And, he said he loved me and..well...I love him and then we...kissed"

Twilight looked shocked to what she was hearing, but then her expression returned to normal and she continued.

"So, when we got off of the boat we went for a little walk around town, and got into a...heated conversation."

Twilight just tilted her head slightly, showing she was confused.

"Technically we, s-said some t-things that we didn't mean to s-say and..." Celestia blinked back some tears. "He got mad at me and flew away."

A tear rolled down Celestia's cheek.

Twilight put her claw/hand on her hoof and looked at her as if to say, "It's ok."

Celestia smiled and wiped away some of her tears.

"I still love him" She muttered.

"I'll go find you tomorrow Discord, I promise."

"We better get to bed, it's like.." Celestia paused to look at the clock. "1:30am?! We need to sleep now!" Celestia exclaimed

Eventually, the two fell asleep.
Twilight was sleep next to Celestia's mane on the pillow and Celestia was drooling on her pillow and snoring lightly.

"I'm so sorry Celestia, I'll come find you tomorrow, I promise" Discord whispered to himself before dozing off on the cloud.

Back at the tower, Mother Chrysalis had just arrived home.

She lifted her saddle bag in the air and removed a sharp knife from it.

"Momma's comin' to kill"

Chrysalis cackled loudly, still unaware of Celestia's presence

"You'll be sorry you left, Celestia deary, now you and that miserable coltfriend are going to PAY!"
