Tirek took Discord on a short tour of the farm and introduced him to a number of family members, two of which stood out as they were the ones to unite the Apple and Pear family's. After the tour Tirek showed him what was being prepared for the celebration.
"Wow, that's a lot of pear and apple based foods." Discord stated looking at the spread before him, which covered three whole tables. "But should you really be making all the food this soon? There is still a week before the Celebration."
"None of this is fer the Celebration." Tirek said."This is all practice for it to make sure that we're all on our best when the time comes."
"Ah, alright then." Responded Discord. "Well everything seems to be in order so I'll be on my way then."
"Why don't you tell me where you'er going next?" Tirek asked. "I can give you directions to the place."
"Well, I was going to go check on the music next. Which the list I was given said was being done by someone named Antijam Kick Yearling."
"Ah, you'll likely find A.K. at Opera Beats music store. She works there during the day and at Beat Droppers Night Club at night."
Later at Opera Beats
Discord walked into the music store and looked around. When he set eyes on the counter he saw a tanish yellow pegasus with monochromatic feathers wearing a pair of orange glasses and blue-violet head phones bobbing her head up and down with her eyes closed.
He went up to the counter and rang the bell that was there, which was thankfully enough for her to open her eyes and take her head phones off. "Hello and welcome to Opera Beats music store. How can I help you?" She said with a smile.
"Yes I'm looking for a pony named Antijam." Discord told her.
"Well your talking to her. What ya want?"
"I'm here from Canterlot to check on the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration. I was informed that you were responsible for the music, correct?"
"Yes I am, my shift ends in an hour and I don't work Beat Drops tonight, I can show you what I've been working on when I get off. Deal?"
"Works for me."
One hour later Antijam and Discord left the music store and headed to a music studio, in which she led him to a recording room and began to play some of the music for the celebration that she made. The music was a mix orchestra and dubstep that was, in Discord's opinion, decent. It wasn't bad, but it was also not quiet good. In other words, perfect for the celebration.
"Hmm, it's not bad." Discord said. "It'll work." he added with a nod.
Antijam smiled at him and said. "Of course it's far from my best work, but I'm still working on it."
"Well it's to late to go check on the decoration preparations, I'll do that tomorrow I guess."
"Ah, yes, the decorations. Chrysalis Flutterbye has been nonstop talking about her plans for those." A.K. Yearling said with a roll of her eyes. "Anyway, you got any plans for tonight? Cause I don't." She added with a smile and a wink.
"Well... no, no I guess I don't." Discord answered. "But I would prefer to be up early tomorrow morning to check the decorations and weather schedule. But I guess we could meet up to do something tomorrow."
"Alright, I work at Beat Drop's tomorrow so as long as it doesn't go to late that's no problem for me." She said while handing him a peace of paper with her number on it then proceeded to leave before she could get a response.
"... Did I just get a date?"
The next morning Discord checked the weather schedule and was happy to see that everything was in order there and proceeded to the city hall as that was where Tirek said he could find Chrysalis.
In the city hall everything was chaos, ponys were running back and forth carrying what appeared to be decoration. Just as he was about to stop someone to ask where he could find Chrysalis he heard a voice shouting out orders at someone. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! The tapestries are supposed to go on the side walls! NOT over the balcony the Princess is going to stand on!!"
Turning towards the irate noise Discord saw a black coated unicorn with blue-green "socks" and a dark blue main and tail glaring up at two pegasi carrying a large tapestry with sun designs on it.
"Sorry, Chryssie-er I mean Chrysalis." One of them responded and they proceeded to move the large piece of art.
Chrysalis continued to glare at them or more likely, Discord guessed, the one that called her Chryssie until they were done moving it and were instead hanging it up on the wall. He decided to go and talk to her before something else grabbed her attention.
"Hello! You'er Chrysalis, correct?" He asked over the noise of the crowd.
She turned to Discord and looked him up and down. "Yes, I am." She said her voice carrying an air of high class. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you one of the princesses personal students? Discord, right?"
"Yes I am, I take it you've heard of me." Discord said more than asked with obvious pride.
"Nothing good, chaos mage." She said her deep green eyes glinting with hostility and a frown firmly planting itself on her face. "Now, what do you want?"
Discord's pride having been deflated he told her. "I'm here to check on the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration."
"Really? You?" She responded with a skeptical look.
"Yes, me. If you have a problem with that you can take it up with the princess." Discord said testily.
Rolling her eyes Chrysalis and said. "Alright calm down, as you can see every thing is on scheduled here and I just got done checking on the other areas of the city that I'm responsible for."
"Very well then, I'll be on my way."
Discord went back to Fizzle's house in order to grab the others and force them into going out with him, mostly for his own amusement. What he found when he got there was, by anyone else's standards, strange. What he came back to was Starlight on the ground laughing like a hyena, Opal just barely keeping her self from laughing, and Fizzlepop in an orange dress with navy-blue frills that was reminiscent of Old Equestria. Of course the first thing he did was pull out his phone and take a picture, then burst out laughing as well.
"That dress dose not suit you Fizz." He said around his laughter.
"I-its not like i'm wearing it because I want to!" Fizzlepop announced with a large amount of embarrassment. Showing a side of her that none of those present have seen from the royal legion tribunus laticlavius. "My parents always make me dress up in fancy clothes when I visit."
"How do your parents force you to do anything? You'er the second in command of the royal legion." Starlight choked out.
"At least I have a military rank." Fizzlepop stated proudly.
"HEY! I'm working on my entry into the Bolts!" Countered Starlight.
"The Shadow Bolts, Lighting Bolts, or the Wonder Bolts?" Fizzlepop asked the last part snidely. "If either of the first two, congratulations they are actual military. If the Wonder Bolts, congratulations, you're a glorified show pony."
"They may be show pony's but they are also a group of the most skilled flyers in the world!" Starlight responded. "But to answer your question, I intend on joining the Lighting Bolts. The fastest flyers in the world."
"Oh please," Opal intruded on the conversation. "You just have a crush on their captain Lighting Dust."
"I do not!" Starlight said while her face was doing an impression of a tomato.
"Yeah? What's with the giant blush then?" Discord added his two bits.
Glaring at Discord she shouted. "I am NOT blushing!!"
"Of course you're not." He said with a roll of his eyes. "Now come on, lets go out and do something."
"Yeah, lets go out and do that." Starlight added happy for the change in subject
"Alright, I'm good with that." Fizzlepop agreed.
"Umm, don't you want to change first?" Asked Opal.
"No time, lets go before my parents come out of nowhere!"
