The ceiling was on the floor.
The floor was the window.
When the window was closed the rain fell in, but when it opened the rain stayed outside.
The pools of wax hardened as the fire crawled up burnt wicks.
Discord was over and the room was a mess.
“Oh, can you make this dolly dance?” Luna caught one of the dolls floating in the air and gave it to Discord. He placed it in his open palm lifting to eye level. His hand glowed and it took a bit of concentration, but he eventually got the handmade doll to start moving.
First it sat up, then the libs wiggled about, finally music with no discernible source began to play and the doll stood up in his open hand to do its jig. Discord saw Luna’s bemused expression and extended his hand to hers. The doll jumped onto her hand once she opened it; she couldn’t help but laugh in delight as the floppy doll moved about in her hand.
“Celly, look at what Dizzy did! Look! Look!”
Celestia smiled at her younger sister’s enthusiasm. “He’s so nice to use his powers to make you smile like that.”
“I like making both of you smile, Celly.” He knew she preferred for only Luna to ignore her titles, so her scrunched pout was expected. “It seems to me the only time you smile is when I make Lulu happy, so I try to make her as happy as I can.”
He floated over to where Celestia sat as properly as she could in a chair that bobbed slightly above the ground. Now standing in front of her, Discord rolled his eyes.
“Seriously Celly, stop being such a stickler and jump on the bed with us.”
“I’m fine where I am Discord.” To prove her point, she gestured to herself on her floating chair in the corner of the room. Her face fell into a bewildered expression. Her chair had taken to flipping itself upside down, thus taking Celestia with it.
She gripped the chair as it moved her, and thinking quickly, cast a spell that kept her attached to her seat. It was too bad her dress didn’t stay with her. The bottom of her dress flipped over exposing her undergarments. Discord doubled over in laughter, almost immediately getting stitches.
“Discord! You flip this chair over and so help me if you’re looking!”
“How can I flip the chair without look?” He wheezed between his laughter.
“Discord, just move the chair!”
Discord gathered himself together long enough to wave his hand in the direction of the chair, commanding it to flip back over, and then he burst right back into laughing. He looked up only for a moment as he could feel the hilarity dying off, but one look at Celestia and he was sent right back into a fit.
She swiped her pink hair out of her face, clapping her hands to summon a comb to bring her hair back to its original regal grooming. Her face was flushed from embarrassment and from hanging upside down. But the funniest thing to Discord was that Celestia still tried to look like a graceful little princess.
Her appearance completely betrayed her intentions, and even her face, trained to look charming and sweet, was masked with nothing but rage. Celestia slowly realized this as she looked past Discord’s giggling spastic body to Luna, who was failing terribly to hide her own amusement at her sister’s distress.
“Well I hope you two enjoyed yourself. I think it’s time for Dizzy to leave.”
“Aw Celly, not now. He was going to do the chocolate milk cup thingy.”
“Ye- ha- yeah Silly, and besides you said you were happy where you were. Aren’t you still happy?”
She was ready to drag Luna right out of that room, like a responsible older sister, and allow Discord to escort himself back to his room, but when she looked over at her little sister she was slapped in the face with one of her infamous pouts.
She really couldn’t resist the power of Luna’s big blue watery eyes or her minute lower lip quiver. When Discord joined in by placing his face near Luna’s and mimicking her expression Celestia couldn’t keep her face straight. Defeated by their joint effort of cuteness and silliness, she finally had a laugh of her own.
“Fine, I guess Discord can stay for a bit longer.”
“Yay!” Luna jumped onto the bed patting a spot next to her for her sister. Celestia climbed on but eyed it suspiciously for a moment before settling down. Discord choked back another laugh as he noticed this; he was in no rush to have Celestia yelling at him again.
“You know, that “Dizzy” name is really growing on me. I think you two should call me that from now on, but only you two.” He leaned on the bed balancing himself on his hands as he looked at the princesses.
“Ooh, and I really like “Silly” for Celly. What do you say Celly?” Celestia rolled her eyes with a smile on her face. She agreed because it would be easier than trying to fight Luna’s pout.
“But only you two.”
“And we can’t forget about Lulu. What about… Loony?” Discord reached out his arm to tap the point of Luna’s nose. She giggled and agreed.
“Perfect.”
“Ok ok, now will you do the thing with chocolate milk and the cup?”
