They say things get worse before they get better, and they were right. While Flurry didn't seem to put herself in danger again, she was still casting complex spells. Cadence, Shining, Discord, and Sombra all had to take shifts to keep a stronger eye on her. For the first time ever everypony had gotten a taste of the kind of power Flurry could display. Real and raw.

Of course, Cadence and Shining reprimanded their daughter. Gently coaching their child on the power she held and the responsibility of control. But there was only so much a 2-year-old could understand. Eventually, Discord and Sombra joined them after learning the best parenting technique from Cadence. Having to also join them in teaching Lurry at every turn. For this, to work they all now need to pitch in. Together they sat at the kitchen table, staring at Flurry who sat in the middle of it asleep.

"I am so tired.." Sombra rubbed his temples. he took a moment to bas in the turns in life that led him here. In charge of the first alicorn child. "How did my life become this."

"I honestly have no idea," Shining answered honestly. "I was hoping once Twilight would know but not even she is sure why we had an alicorn. I hate to bother her now for answers. You know how she gets and now isn't the time."

"You know I think you really underestimate her, and I should know how that feels. Her anxiety almost feels like my chaos. Uncontrollable, hard to reason with but I don't suffer from it so what do I know?" Discord rubbed his dark eyes before he laughed "I think they finally got to me cuz I was about to say just be honest. Oh, HOW did this happen?" He sunk down in his chair and groaned.

The group of them yawned as they stared into space, taking all too long to notice the baby babble getting loaded. It was too late as her horn glowed to stop it and much too late to reverse the small frost that covered the inside and outside the castle.

Discord acted, he acted without thinking, and soon the entire kingdom was covered in three inches of snow. Not just any snow, snow that tasted like cotton candy and was warm to the touch. Yet it still acted like real snow, and would make perfect snowmen. Cadence stared at Discord and Discord stared back at her. "I may have panicked."

"What...Flurry no!" Flurry whined and her ears went down. "We talked about being careful.

"She covered things in snow so I just .... gave a snow day." Discord shrugged and smiled shakily. "I...I thought ponies would have already seen it would just be best to blame it on the chaos guy."

"Discord.."

"I can clean it-"

"Discord, no that's not why I'm upset. You panicked and I can understand that. We are all so tired and drained. Maybe it wasn't great but it's not a terrible idea Discord. Honestly, I can't think of anything else that wouldn't cause panic. May I have some paper?" With a snap, paper plopped in front of her and she wrote up letters.

Dear Citizens of the crystal kingdom,

Today we celebrate all of you and your hard work. Take this day off to enjoy the snow, courtesy of Discord.
We hope this brings you all the joy we intended, if there are any issues please visit the throne room.
We hope to do this again soon, now a statement from Discord.

Love your faithful rulers

Cadence slid the letter to Discord, "say something, then snap it to every citizen. I don't want panic to seep into my citizens. So keep it short and quick."

Discord's uncomfortable smile didn't fade.

Hello

I hope you like the snow it's warm, tastes like cotton candy, won't make you sick if you eat it, and you can build anything from it. You can find yourself just magically good at snow building even if you never were. Have fun

Discord.

Discord snapped it off then looked back at Cadence, "I'm sorry I didn't ask."

"Discord as I said don't be sorry we are all exhausted, we all have been working hard. We are all doing the best we can and that's what I asked of you. Just do your best and that's enough."

Discord smiled, "I insist on helping in the throne room tomorrow. Just in case."

Cadence smiled back, "okay. that's perfectly fine ok with me."

Author's Note

Tldr: I need a longer time to write the ending. I might take 2 months instead of just one.

sorry, this is short. The end is ni. The next chapter is intended to be the last I cut a lot which is sad but the story got away from me again. I hope you all enjoyed it anyway. If you liked this story feel free to take my idea and run with it here is the basic thing I was going for both times. Feel free to take this prompt and run with it.

Basic idea came from the that I thought cadence could help more with discord and this friendship troubles. cuz love and friendship is so close other. I was hoping to have a second storyline where everyone understood each other better. Twilight would learn her anxiety has been consuming her but not loving the way that people took to get her to understand. That it affected discords turn to good and she would understand him and how his trauma made it so hard to get friends. That she would understand that cuz of her own trauma of being on edge so often cuz of villains tackling her that she was an isolated mare and discords struggle to friendship mirrored hers.
