//------------------------------// // A Whole New World // Story: Renew // by lorettafox //------------------------------// Apple Sweet was at the train station in Manehattan after she had managed to convince the conductor that she had to ride the train to Canterlot, even if she didn't have a ticket or else her family might worry that something would happen to her. It was a complete lie of course, her family was all long dead. Apple Sweet sat in a seat and looked out the window. "Soon, I'll have my revenge. Very, very soon." she muttered to herself. ---------------------------------------------------------- It was around 8pm when everything was finally finished. The apartment had all the chaoticness removed from it (but not before Screwball could have a last minute chance to use it for her own enjoyment) and the pony who originally gave them the apartment had Discord's spell removed from him so he no longer even remembered giving them the apartment. To make sure it stayed that way, the papers Twilight and Discord had signed when they moved had disappeared. The three were standing outside the apartment building, now unsure what to do as she said she wouldn't be coming to Canterlot until midnight. Why she had picked such a late time was so she could do a bit more in Manehattan before leaving it. After all, she did want to see the public library here. It was amazing that she hadn't visited here. Then again, with her strange pregnancy effects, it would be rather hard to explain to anypony else besides Discord and maybe Screwball. "So, what now? I informed Princess Celestia we wouldn't be returning until midnight tonight. We have a little bit of time." Twilight offered. "Let's create some chaos! Some chaos!" Screwball suggested as she hyperly began to bounce. "What kind of chaos do you mean, Screwball?" "Well, since you don't like the idea of Daddy turning Equestria into his own chaotic playground..." "Most definitely not now and not in the distant future either." "But we can still create chaos by pulling a few pranks! It'll be so funny!" "Pranks? What kind of pranks are you talking about Screwy?" Discord asked with great interest. "How about we conjure up a little cotton cloud storm and rain on them not chocolate milk but regular milk. That'll be something rather unexpected!" Screwball smiled. "That is a good start but we can simply do better then that, right, Screwy?" Discord smiled. "I know I can, Daddy. Just the first thing that popped into my cotton candy brain." Screwball laughed. "Perhaps we could flip the entire city upside down with the ponies on it." Discord said aloud with a smirk. "Absolutely not!" Twilight yelled. "I may have no problem with your chaos, but not when it'll caused mass panic!" "Oh come now, Twilight! A little mass panic can be quite enjoyable!" Discord said happily. "Like when you flipped the city of Trottingham over a thousand years ago!" Screwball remembered. "That was so funny! Everypony didn't know what to do! It drove them insane!" "Mass panic is not funny! It can hurt ponies and if Princess Celestia gets a report saying the city been flipped upside down literally, she might as put you back right into stone! I hate to be called a liar!" Twilight glared at Discord. "Ok, oh boring Twilight. What do you suggest we do?" Discord joked which earned him another glare from her. "I did want to see the Manehattan Public Library before we left." Twilight smiled. "But you've read plenty of books while we've been here! Heck, on some days, I literally had to use my magic to drag you away from your studying." Discord moaned. "Besides you can visit that library anytime you'd like. I'm sure with Celestia's little magic boost she gave you before you freed me, you can return back here whenever you'd like." "That's probably true but I'd like to visit before we leave. We'll probably in Canterlot at least a week, perhaps more, discussing this entire matter with Celestia and Luna too." "And during that time, I'll hardly get to be with you." "What in Equestria are you talking about Discord?" Twilight asked in confusion. "Last time you were there, you were always with Princess Cadence and Shining Armor." "And that's when you were hiding from them too. But they now know about us and the marriage, so we can hang out with them freely, though, you might have to change your appearance as most ponies would panic if they see the spirit of chaos walking around freely." "Good to know all of Equestria's accepted me for who I am." Discord spoke in heavy sarcasm. "Anyways, what are we going to do? It's going on 8:15 and we're all still just standing around." Twilight reminded them. "I know! Let's go flying through the night sky! It's so pretty flying in the sky at night!" Screwball offered. "I guess we can fly towards Canterlot from here." Twilight said. "I haven't been flying as much as I should with these wings." "I haven't been flying as much either, after all, I can be on the other side of Equestria with a snap of my fingers." Discord smirked. "We know, Daddy." Screwball giggled. "Are we going flying or not?" Twilight asked in annoyance. "We are but we should make it a little more interesting." Discord said as he put more empathizes on the last word. "And how do we make it more interesting?" Twilight asked. With a snap of his eagle claw, Twilight was suddenly on top of a what appeared to be a magic carpet and was wearing what appeared to be the dress she wore at her wedding, expect it was much fancier than it had been at the wedding. Screwball was sitting next to Twilight, wearing a simple red and black dress. Discord wore nothing, which puzzled Twilight. "What did you do this for?" Twilight questioned. "Think of it like your wedding gift in a way. You like romance, don't you?" he asked. "Well yes, but I wasn't expecting Screwball to be with us either." Twilight spoke. "When I think of romance, I just thought of the two of us." "Oh, am I getting in the way then, Mommy? I don't want to make you feel sad." Screwball said, trying to please her Mommy as she truly wanted to please her Daddy. "It's not your fault, Screwy." Discord said. "Besides, I want you to do a special job for me anyways." "What's that, Daddy?" Screwball asked excitedly. "I want you to provide some music for Twilight." he said as he conjured up a saxophone. "The boring kind of music then, Daddy?" Screwball giggled. "Boring to us, but it'll make Twilight happy." Discord spoke, half in annoyance, half happy. "You got it, Daddy!" Screwball said with a salute. After her salute, she began to play the sax, which gave a soft, melodic tone, one that Twilight recognized but couldn't place where she had heard it last. "It's so boring." Discord stated. "But for a magic carpet ride through the night sky, it's perfect." Twilight smiled. "Are we gonna sit here on the ground or are we gonna take off?" "The ground is becoming rather dull." With a snap of his eagle claw, the carpet began to wiggle itself off of the ground and whisk off into the night sky. The carpet flew up towards the sky at a high speed but mellowed out to a slower speed when it was a good distance above the ground. Twilight peered over the edge of the carpet and gasped in amazement. "Wow, the view from up here is amazing! It's like a whole new world!" "I knew you'd like it." Discord smiled. "You're always reading books on flying and far away places, so this would also get you outside as well. Also, some adventure could do you some good." "True. I do read alot and I usually don't put theory into physical practice. This is just great!" Twilight smiled as Screwball continued playing music in the background. "I could show you the world, Twilight Sparkle. All of Equestria and what lies beyond it's borders. A whole new world waits out there and just waiting to be discovered." "I know. When was the last time I let myself go on an actual adventure and go traveling? Going to Manehattan was not an adventure since we were hiding and all." "Maybe after you and Celestia sort your little problems, maybe we could go on an adventure, if it's somewhat interesting." Discord smiled. "Ok then." Twilight smiled as the carpet flew further into the night and Screwball continued to play the sax, as it relaxed her as it did her parents.
