The Great and Chaotic Date

Trixie was sitting on her hammock, inside her wagon. She was reading a book that Starlight gave her. The book was about magic spells and magical stage performances. Basically, it was the perfect book for her to read. As she read the book, she started to feel a little thirsty. She got up from her hammock and walked to her cabinet. She took out a juice box and headed back to her hammock.

She sat on her hammock drinking her juice box while reading her book. As she was doing that, she heard a loud thud. She jumped up and looked around inside the wagon. She didn't see anything fall over in the wagon, so she shrugged and kept reading. Unfortunately, only a few minutes later, there was another thud, this time it was even louder. A little shaken up by it she looked inside her wagon again. But like before, nothing had fallen over. Now Trixie was confused. She didn't know where the thud was coming from. She then decided that she was going to ignore the noise by putting on headphones. So, Trixie put her juice box on her book and made her way under the hammock, where her headphones were at.

However, she didn't manage to even touch her headphones before the loud thud came back for a third time. The thud was so loud that it caused the hammock to flip over, causing the juice box and the book to fall on the ground. This consequently made the juice spill on the book. Watching this all unfolded, Trixie started fuming. Now she was furious. And what made it worse was that she had a few more pages left of the book, but now with the juice stain on it, it was going to be much harder to read.

She threw away the juice box and placed her book on the hammock. She then stormed outside, realizing the sound had to be outside her wagon. When she was outside, she turned to the right of her wagon, seeing a surprising sight. There in front of her wagon, banging his head against the wagon, was Discord.

"Discord?! I didn't know you were here. I thought you were going to come back when my next performance started. Which is next week by the way." Trixie said.

"Oh really?........Sorry I forgot……." Discord said, apathetically.

Trixie noticed something strange about Discord. His eyes were a lot pinker and a bit swollen like he had been crying. His voice was deeper too, it wasn't the usual high energy voice he had before.

"Uhhh, Discord……..is everything okay?" Trixie asked.

"Yeah……" Discord said.

"Well, you've been banging your head on my wagon." Trixie said.

Discord looked behind himself and saw a small dent in the wagon.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Discord said, fixing the dent on the wagon.

"It's okay……hey Discord do you want to come inside and talk for a few minutes?" Trixie asked.

"Uh…sure. Are you sure it's okay?" Discord said.

"Yeah it's okay, I don't mind you coming inside the wagon. Plus, it'll probably help you stop banging your head on the wagon." Trixie said.

"Okay…" Discord said.

Discord followed Trixie inside the wagon. When he got inside, he noticed that the place was filled with stage performance supplies and everything was kind of all over the place. In a weird way, it reminded him of his home back in his dimension.

"Sorry, a lot of ponies say my wagon is a pigsty. And you can see why." Trixie said.

"No, I kind of like it actually……" Discord said, looking around the place.

Discord sat on the hammock in front of him and Trixie would sit next to him.

"So uh, how was the date with Fluttershy today?" Trixie asked.

As soon as Discord heard that question, he felt the pain in his heart again and went back into his depressive state.

"Oh…I'm sorry, did something bad happen on the date?" Trixie asked.

"No…..nothing bad happened on the date because……..we never went on the date…." Discord said.

"Oh, what happened?" Trixie asked.

"Well…………when Fluttershy told me I had to leave because she was having company over, turns out the reason she told me that was because Rainbow Dash already asked her out the day prior…and……..a-and…….."

The tears started to slip from Discord's eyes more and more as he kept talking.

"Hey, hey it's okay Discord. You don't have to tell me everything that happened if you don't want to." Trixie said, putting a hoof on Discord’s back.

"No, no it's okay. I just…..have to get this off my chest…." Discord said, calmly.

"Okay…." Trixie said.

Discord wiped some of the tears that were starting to come out of his eyes. He then continued on talking.

"And after….Fluttershy still went on the date with Rainbow Dash because she didn't want to hurt me or Rainbow Dash. So, after she went on the date with Rainbow Dash she was then going to still go on the date with me and choose who she loved me. Unfortunately, as the date between her and Rainbow Dash continued on….they became closer…..a-and now they're together, s-so…………."

Discord tried everything in his power to hold back the tears that were waiting behind his eyes, but his efforts were futile and the tears came down like a stream on a waterfall.

"Trixie……..I'm so sorry for convincing you to go on that dumb date with me!" Discord said.

"No Discord, you don't have to apologize to me! The date wasn't dumb, I mean I thought it was at first. But, later on I really did think the date was pretty fun!" Trixie said.

"Yeah, but now the practice date is totally worthless!! It's all my fault!! If I hadn't gone on that date with you, I wouldn't have prepared myself for disappointment!!" Discord said.

"NO, it's not your fault!!" Trixie said.

"How do you know?!" Discord asked.

"Because………"

Trixie lifted Discord's chin down, causing them to become face to face with each other.

"It's not your fault. You couldn't have possibly known that Rainbow Dash already asked Fluttershy out." Trixie said, softly.

"I could've used my magic to read her mind." Discord said.

"Yeah, but you didn't have the idea to do that then. Plus, like you said before, being with other ponies has changed you over the years. So even if you had remembered you could've done that, you still wouldn't because you have so much respect for her." Trixie said.

Discord thought about it for a second and then gave a little smile.

"Yeah you're right. Although, I don't have any respect for her brother though." Discord said.

"Yeah, Fluttershy's brother is one of the most annoying ponies to exist in Equestria! But anyways, back to what I was saying, none of this is your fault. Also, the date wasn't completely worthless. We both had fun and I have to admit, that was probably the most memorable time I ever had." Trixie said.

"Even more memorable than your magical acts?" Discord asked.

Trixie thought about it for a few minutes. Was it more memorable than her stage performances? She thought about it until she smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, even more memorable than my stage performances. Which really says a lot." Trixie said.

"Yeah it does! Soooo, are you saying if you could you would do more practice dates?" Discord asked, smirking.

"No! That is absolutely not what I'm saying!!" Trixie said.

Discord started laughing a little bit, getting his voice back to the high energy it was before.

"Ha ha ha, very funny. But in all seriousness, what I meant was I want to hang out with you more. You know, other than the times you're going to have to give me cinnamon nuts and help me with my stage performances." Trixie said.

"About the first one, can the cinnamon nuts that I had Pinkie make for you last night count for at least one month? Because I put a lot more effort into that, than the ponies who just grab peanuts and just sprinkle some cinnamon spice on it. I mean I actually had the nuts with cinnamon filling in it." Discord said.

Trixie rolled her eyes and smiled.

"Fine, but it only makes up for that one month though!" Trixie said.

"Got it! Also…..I have something to tell you…." Discord said.

"Oh….what is it?...." Trixie asked, wondering what Discord was going to say.

Discord grabbed Trixie's hoofs and lifted them up a little. He then didn't know how he was going to do this, but he decided to go for it anyway. He started leaning his face to where Trixie's was. It seemed that Trixie figured out what Discord was doing because she did the same. When their faces were so close that their noses were touching each other's, the two of them closed their eyes and gave each other the most magical and heartwarming kiss ever. When they were done, they pulled away and stared at each other.

"I love you Trixie." Discord said.

"I love you too, Discord." Trixie replied.

They both took a couple of minutes to stare at each other. They probably took too long though because as they kept staring at each other, there was an awkward silence that encompassed them.

"So….are we together now?" Discord asked, breaking the silence.

"Uh yeah?......" Trixie said, confused at the weird question.

"Oh okay, sorry. You didn't say anything so I just wanted to make sure." Discord said, letting go of Trixie’s hoofs.

Trixie sighed and facepalmed.

"Okay now that we're officially a couple now, how about we make a deal?" Discord said.

"Another deal?......" Trixie asked.

"Yeah I know, another deal. But, I promise this will be the last deal." Discord said.

"Whatever you say." Trixie said, rolling her eyes.

"Okay, great! So the deal is that if you let me stay in your wagon on a consistent basis, then I'll let you stay at my house in my dimension if you want to." Discord offered.

"Sure because that's definitely not like a standard procedure creatures have after officially being together." Trixie said, rolling her eyes even more.

"Alright, so as my new marefriend, what would you like to do first?" Discord asked.

"Finish the book I was reading before you banged your head on my wagon and caused the juice box to spill on my book." Trixie said.

"Oh…….sorry about that. I can fix that though!" Discord said.

He then grabbed the book and opened the book to the page where the juice had stained. He proceeded to use his magic to dissipate the stain off the page.

"Here you go!" Discord said, giving the book to Trixie.

"Thank you." Trixie said, flipping to the page she was on.

Discord wrapped his arm around Trixie as she started to finish the last few pages of her book. As Trixie was finishing up the book, Discord remembered an important question he had to ask.

"Did you know that Pinkie is going to throw us a party next week?"
