This was inspired after reading so many DiscordXTwilight shipping. Sorry everypony for making the first chapter so short. Rest assured, the next one will be a doozy;p

Twilight:
"Twilight Sparkle..." a familiar and deep voice wafted from behind me, causing me to spin around in a whirl.
Discord loomed over me in his full glory, and I was terrified, my life flashing before my eyes. Even though Celestia and Luna had released him from stone prison and taken his powers away, he was still a menacing figure. He had golden eyes with red pupils, one larger than the other. His head and neck were that of a pony, but an oddly shaped one at that, with white tufty eyebrows. He had a brown furry middle, and his tail was comprised of scales, being a sea serpent's tail and all. His arms consisted of one Griffon claw, and the other was unknown. One of his legs were that of a dragon's, the other probably a pony's, or maybe a goat's?
I tried, with difficulty, to compose myself infront of my old nemisis, gulped down a ferocious scream and said with a calm manner,"Welcome Discord, to my humble home."
I even gave him a cutsy, charming smile, masking the fear and anger that I held towards him.
Princess Luna and Princess Celestia wanted me to turn this chaotic draconequus into a polite, well bred- ok, so maybe not that far. They just wanted me to make him decent enough to give him back his powers and that he not try to ruin everypony's life by ruling the world with chaos, like he did five years ago. In truth, I only took on this ominous task for Princess Celestia, who insisted this be done, and requested me to be the one to do it. I could not dissapoint my surrogate mother, so I took on the task. However, upon seeing Discord face to face after what happened last time, I could not help but have second thoughts. Scratch that, more like third thoughts.
"We meet again." and then he began to sulk.
I raised my eyebrows. Discord sulking... something that I had never seen before. Princess Luna had already warned me beforehand that Discord was not his usual self without his powers, but that even though he might be subdued, you let him catch you off guard and you could be in for a whole lot of trouble. Not death of course, because he prided himself in never actually killing anypony, but still, one must be careful. I sure did not want a replay of what happened last time. I preferred order in everything, no chaos, not in my world anyway. And what he did to my friends... well, I wasn't sure that it was even possible to change the heart of a creature like Discord. Luna was different, because she had not been entirely herself, having been possessed by a malicious being named Nightmare Moon. Discord though, was entirely himself when we had to battle him those five years ago, using the power of the Elements of Harmony. Not only that, but he was much more difficult to defeat, on account of him attempting to tear up the friendship of my friends and I. He made Applejack dishonest, Rarity greedy, Pinkie... well, unhappy, Fluttershy a jerk, and Rainbow Dash disloyal. If it wasn't for Princess Celestia, and all the friendship letters I has sent over the years, Equestria today would be a very chaotic world indeed. Not even Princess Celestia would be able to stop him, for she was weakening over the years. No pony but I have come to notice, but she was growing weaker every day, something that I tried my best to ignore, because I once tried to confront her about it and Celestia told me to never mention it again, in a rather angered voice, a tone I had only heard her use twice: once with Discord, and once when I accidently blew up the whole Canterlot laboratory. Then again, there was that time with Smartypants... I shuddered internally. Now THAT was a terrible incident.
Sighing, I tried to make some conversation." Well Discord, is there anything you want to say before I take you to your temporary bedroom?" He didn't even seem to be listening, shrinking in size as he muttered to himself.
I shrugged, and told him to follow me as I went through the library and through a door that led to the small living room, sure he was following from his heavy footsteps. I pointed towards my small couch, and finally got a lively reaction out of him.
"I'm supposed to sleep on that?!" he asked indignantly, his pupils growing in size with anger. "Yes." I said with a snooty air, cleverly masking my fear."I can't have you sleeping in my room, now can I?" I glared at him, even though I was shaking inside."Do you have a problem with that, or will I have to inform the Princess' that you cannot cooporate in such a simple task?"
Thankfully he just glared at me, and stomped over to the couch, throwing himself on it and staring intently into the fireplace.
Taking the opportunity of his quiet, I said with a commanding tone," Now, since you're in my home, I have rules that you must adhere to." I took out a piece of parchment from my nearby desk, and announced, eliciting a groan from the already upset draconequus," Rule # 1: No leaving this house without my permission. Rule # 2: no hurting anypony, OR dragon, in any way. Rule # 3: No pulling pranks," I looked up to see an aghast face looking back at me. I ignored him and continued, knowing that I could not show any weakness, lest he use it to his advantage," Rule # 4: You must have lessons everyday with me in the mornings," and the list ended with," Rule # 301 You will take half of Spike's chores to gain the lesson of being humble and appreciating things." Discord groaned, but didn't comment as he slouched on the coach, his pointy ears drooping."This is gonna be a looong stay," he muttered.
I held back a snort. I'll say...
I trudged up to my room after providing Discord with a few blankets, checked that Spike was tucked securely in his basket, and crawled into bed. Before drifting off to sleep however, I reached for the bottle in the currently unlocked side drawer on my nightstand, and took out two pills. I plopped them in my mouth, wrinkling my nose in distaste, and drank them down with the glass of water that stood on my nightstand.
Hopefully tomorrow would go semi-smoothly. With a shudder, I finally drifted off to sleep.
