> A Stolen Apple > by HylianWolfMage553 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1: Freedom For A Task > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Discord's POV) Drat, stuck in this stone prison again. And in an even more humiliating pose than before, it's like fate just went "na na, nana, na" when I got defeated this time. Well maybe next time will be better, if there is a next time. Wait, two ponies are talking. Better listen in on the conversation. "I can't believe how easy it was to take this four fillies, this dragon, and this colt away from their guardians. Like taking candy from a baby. Do you have the elements of harmony with you? " Elements of harmony, the same things that locked me in here? Why would they need those.."got them brother of mine, great job figuring out that the elements of harmony work on these six" That explains the unconscious fillies, that dragon, and that colt. "Who know the same three fillies who freed him once will free him again." Wait, those fillies freed me? I should thank them or their kin if I...wait free me again? what are they talking about? (normal POV) The elements were placed on Spike's, Applebloom's, Sweetie Bell's, Scootalo's, Button Mash's, and Dinky Doo's neck and soon the six of them lifted into the air and Discord was engulfed in rainbow light. He was freed as the elements powered down, with the six still asleep. Discord stretched out his back and said "who freed the lord of chaos?" The first unicorn before him bowed and said"oh great lord of chaos, we humbly freed you from your stone prison to request your services." The other unicorn turned to him and said"I thought we were going to demand his services" The first unicorn scowled at the second, turned to Discord and said"sorry about my brother Flam's actions. He can be demanding sometimes" another scowl towards Flam. Flam said"but Flim,you said that we would demand him to work with us" Flim said in response" there is one thing that I know as fact. Never demand someone with more power to work for or with you. Earn the privilege of working with them" Discord was pleased by Flim's respect for him. Flim spoke" Discord. You wish vengeance upon those who imprisoned you right? Well me and my brother wish vengeance upon one of the six who imprisoned you. We have freed you for that vengeance. We desire that you capture and imprison this mare for a very long time. Will you grant that desire?" Discord was confused " you freed me. The lord of chaos. You could've requested anything in the world. Chocolate rain flood in towns. Houses turned upside down. Anything at all. And you request a simple marenapping? That is lame!" Flim said"come to think of it. Yes your right, but we do know if we marenap Applejack we would be found out in Equestria. However you have a whole dimension you call home where nopony would even think of looking. It's perfect." Discord was impressed by Flim's knowledge of him. He decided "fine, I'll kidnap this Applejack for you." He than looked at the brothers"but if she turns me to stone. I'm blaming you" Flim said" point taken. Applejack lives in Sweet Apple Acres. It is in Ponyville." Discord shouted" thanks for the directions" as he flew off. Flim smiled" soon we will own Sweet Apple Acres" and caulked evily. > Chapter 2: Stealing The Apple Mare > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Normal POV) Discord's wings flapped in the wind as he flew over to Sweet Apple Acres. His mind focused on the task he was set. "Guess this will be payback for imprisoning me in stone" he thought. It had only been a few weeks since he was locked in that stone prison. He was near the farmhouse when he heard a conversation between Applejack and Big Macintosh. Applejack said "I'm worried about Applebloom, if she was headed somewhere with her friends she would've told us right?" All that came out of her brother's mouth was a "yep" Applejack was visibly sweating and in a panicked voice said "we've been looking for her all day, what if she's been foalnapped? What if she got lost?" Big Macintosh said "don't worry Applejack, she's bound to show up. Just get your sleep and I'll continue looking" Applejack began walking upstairs to her bedroom. "Perfect, as she's sleeping I will take her" Discord said as he waited for her to close the door to her room. He waited to hear her snoring but none came so he decided to look up and there she was. Gazing out the window at the stars with moonlight shining on her fur. "Does she see me?" Discord thought as Applejack still stared into the starry night sky. Finally she decided to go to bed and Discord flew into her bedroom. Applejack was apparently so tired she forgot to undo the ponytail manestyle she had. Discord gulped as he noticed that the moonlight shining on her fur made her look..beautiful. don't get him wrong he had thought of mares particularly Celestia and Twilight to be beautiful but Applejack, if there was one way to describe her it was naturally beautiful. Applejack didn't have nor need fancy manestyles, grand dresses, or even perfume yet she would rival Celestia and Luna in terms of beauty. Discord almost lost track of his mission, he wasn't here to admire her beauty, he was here to steal her. He decided to lift her in his arms and take her to his home. He also took her hat just so she wouldn't complain about that. As he flew carrying the mare he noticed a strange shadow but paid it no mind. (??? POV) I was walking home after a long day when I noticed..Discord?? But how did he get free? Who or what freed him? Why? I raced over to where he was in hopes of learning more about this. When I got to where he was I noticed he had Applejack in his arms. Why? I had to learn more..I had to figure out what was going..... (normal POV) The stranger laid unconscious on the ground after a wack on the head via Flam. "We don't need anyone interfering in our little scheme. Might as well have you vanish as well" Flam walked over to Discord and said "look who tried to investigate. Seems one of your old friends wanted to see what you were up to, isn't that sweet? He cares" Flam placed the stranger beside Applejack and said "maybe you can give him a tour of the old place" Discord knew that was a joke on his part so he grabbed both the stranger and Applejack and teleported home. > Chapter 3: The Chaos House > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Discord's POV) I finally get back to my home sweet home in the chaos dimension and I placed my cloaked friend on the spare bedroom Celestia used to sleep in whenever she would stay the night. Sadly I had only two bedrooms and each had one bed in it so I had to make a choice of which bed would Appejack sleep in. Part of me wanted to just dump her on the couch and just call it a day but a part of me felt that would be rude. She was a guest, granted a guest who couldn't leave, but a guest nonetheless. So I did the most strangest thing, I placed Applejack in my bed, tucked her in while putting her hat on the nightstand nearby, and curled up in the covers beside her. As my mind drifted to sleep I felt her body close to my own and I saw that even in my chaos dimension she looked beautiful. I decided to wait until morning to explain everything and just drifted off to sleep. (Applejack POV) I woke up from my sleep to find I was not in my bed or even in my own room. I was about to ask if Rarity visted the other night when I felt a griffin's talon on my hoof, I turned over and saw... Discord?! How'd he get free? Could this have something to do with Applebloom's sudden disappearance? I was so confused I did even realize I was crawling towards the side of the bed while screaming like the banshee was in my bed till I fell off the side and onto.. a giant pillow? I forgot Discord could make bend reality like that. I suddenly felt Discord lift me up and he spoke "you know, you really shouldn't be screaming at seven thirty in the morning, quite rude. I was having a nice dream about cotton candy and chocolate milk untill your screaming woke me up." Suddenly from across the hall I heard a sound like someone had tried to get off a bed too high for them and then a short "ouch" Discord also heard the noise and said "see, he heard your screaming as well, I'll go check on him and you wait here" Discord placed me on the pillow and left. As much as part of me fears his wrath another part of me wants to get out of here and back home so I grabbed my pa's hat and headed down the halls looking for the exit to this place. (Discord's POV) I looked at the discarded cloak and the bipedal wolf staring annoyed at me like I had turned his office upside down again and flooded it with chocolate milk. He must have discarded the cloak in his panic because it ended up on the other side of the bed from where he landed. The wolf stared up at me and said "how did you get free? You were sealed in stone a week ago" I simply said "chaos, Wolfy, chaos" He glared at me and said "my name is not Wolfy, it's Dr.Wolf" I replied "whatever, Wolfy" and decide to teleport him back to his home since the last time I wolfnapped him for more than a day his brother nearly killed me via fire breath. I then headed back to my bedroom to find Applejack gone. Figures, she would try and get out while I was away from the room. I just simply teleported to the entrance, made myself invisible,and waited until Applejack ran to the door before grabbing her and asked "where do you think your going?" She replied "back home, lots of chores to do, my family could be worried about me, you know, stuff that would probably bore you to tears" I chuckled and said "you know me so well. Sadly I was freed for a price: I keep you here as a guest, for how long they didn't say, at the shortest a week, at the longest, let's just say you'll spend the rest of your days in this dimension, oh wait..ponies don't age in this dimension so your aging has stopped until you get out of here. Either way your stuck with me until they say otherwise" I placed Applejack on the couch and casted a barrier on the door and windows so even if Applejack tried to escape she couldn't. I left for the Kitchen to make us both breakfast when I saw Applejack head to the hallway and looked in each door and just said "this isn't the bathroom" I just sighed and facepalmed, I didn't tell her where the bathroom was and now she was trying to find it. I finally told her "five doors down from the living room, first door on the left,the toilet room is right beside it" I heard hooves pace and a door open and close. I just got done making the Chaos Pancakes when I heard the toilet flush and the sound of the sink being turned on. Applejack was washing her hooves, I must say I may be the lord of chaos but I respect good hygiene, especially after someone empties the plumbing if you get what I mean. I heard her turn off the sink and then open the door and head back to the living room. I smiled and said "breakfast is ready" and headed to the living room with a plate full of Chaos Pancakes and placed a table in the living room. Applejack looked at the pancakes and said "thanks, although I'm kinda concerned when it comes to trying new foods, Rarity took me to one of the fancy restaurants and had me try squid which was one of this type of food called meat, it tasted like hey bacon but oh boy, it did the hoedown in my insides and caused what's known as King Sombra's vengeance. So I'll try the pancakes since how could I resist homemade pancakes but just letting you know I'm nervous." She took a bite of the Chaos Pancake and then just wolfed them down after the first bite. She then looked at me as I ate slowly. Call this a weird turn on but I love it when a mare pigs out on my cooking. I chuckled and said "did you even taste that?" Applejack blushed and then asked a question that made my jaw drop "Can I have some more?" > Chapter 4: Getting To Know You > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Discord's POV) Thirty pancakes, she ate thirty pancakes before she said she was full. I have met world eaters with less appetite then the mare sitting beside me at breakfast. Well after that surprising bit of information about my new... Prisoner? no, no, no, too harsh. Guest? no, no, a guest can leave anytime they wish. Guess I could consider her a roommate until further notice. I decided to ask her a question to relieve the tension in the room. "so Applejack, after breakfast what is it you typically do? just because you can't go home doesn't mean you can't be comfortable here?". Applejack looked at me with a smile on her face and said "well, after breakfast I do chores and help around the farm unless one of my friends wants me to help them and even then I get back to the farm by dinner time." I thought and had an idea: why not let Applejack help her friends around town in disguise? it was perfect. Applejack could help her friends meanwhile the Flim Flam brothers suspect nothing, win-win situations especially involving chaos are fun. I told Applejack "I have a plan: those that freed me wish you imprisoned but I don't want you bored out of your skull. I'll disguise you as somepony else and you can help your friends." Applejack just looked at me with a confused expression on her face as I snapped my talon and gave her a new outfit. it was a beautiful lavender dress which complimented her natural form perfectly and a beautiful headdress that concealed her noticeable features while still keeping her beauty intact. I myself changed into a handsome stallion with a fancy suit. I then reached out my hoof and asked "shall we head to town my dear?" Applejack extended her hoof and said "gladly" and we teleported away from the house to Ponyville.
