The sun began to ascend into the sky, giving some light to the deep, dark, and mysterious Everfree forest. Inside the card pyramid that was floating on an island, inside a small bedroom slept an alicorn and a draconequus. The young alicorn laid her head along the draconequus's draconic tail using it as a pillow while her hooves were wrapped around the midsection of Discords body.
Discord opened an eye only to see Twilight laying on his a tail, a smirk made its way on his face as he moved his tail tuft to tickle her face.
Twilight giggled cutely as she began to stir from her slumber. Her eyes opened as she smiled sweetly. "Morning, Discord," she greeted.
"Good morning, Twilight," said Discord with a smile, before tickling her nose with his tail tuft Hearing her giggle cutely put a smile to his face. Somewhere in his heart, he had a faint amount of affection for the young alicorn.
The young alicorn laughed in glee at Discord's antics. "That's enough," Twilight snorted with a visible blush. Discord lead up his tickle attack with a smirk.
...
Twilight and Discord was sitting at the dining table, in front of them stacked on each plate was a stack of pancakes. Twilight had fresh syrup, while Discords had used chocolate milk for his syrup. "So, Twi what shall we do today?" Discord asked before stacking two pancakes in his mouth.
"I was thinking that maybe today I'd visit my parents in Canterlot," Twilight said. Discord, however, looked shocked.
"Canterlot? You can't be serious!" Discord said with a raised voice, causing Twilight to look at him with a confused expression.
"Here we go again," Twilight let out an irritated sigh. "Whenever I suggest something like visiting Canterlot or some other thing outside the forest you're completely against it. Do you even trust any pony besides me, or can you not even trust me!?" Twilight's ears went down.
The sight of the saddened alicorn made the draconequus's heart melt. He sighed, "Twilight?"
However, the young alicorn stood up and left the table. She went down the corridor and opened the door to her room. She went inside and closed behind her.
...
Inside her room, she sat on the bed. A few tears escaped her eyes. "Why does he not trust me?" She thought. It really hurt knowing her first ever friend didn't trust her outside of the forest and now began thinking that she was being treated like a prisoner.
There was a small knock on the door, knowing who it was Twilight called out, "Go away Discord, I want to be alone."
"Twilight, may I please come in?"
Twilight let out a reluctant sigh and opened the door with her magic. Discord walked inside. He then sat on the bed next to her. He put his arm around her shoulder. "Twilight, I'm sorry I snapped at you it was wrong of me," he sighed.
"It's...fine," she said sadly. "I'm especially sorry for snapping at you." More tears escaped her eyes.
Discord hugged her tightly letting himself be a shoulder to cry on. "It's okay, Twilight." The young alicorn sniffled wiping her eyes with her hoof. "I get Twilight, you felt trapped in this forest like a prisoner. So, I was thinking about it...and I agree. You may visit your parents in Canterlot."
Twilight squealed in delight hugging the draconequus tighter. "Thank you, thank you. Thank you so much," Twilight repeated before planting a kiss on the draconequus cheek. Discord smiled with a faint blush, delighted his friend was so happy. It brings him great joy to see the mare he adored so happy.
"You're welcome, Twi."
...
After breakfast was finished, Discord and Twilight were taking a walk through the Everfree forest, the walk was uneventful, except when a horrid scent entered the young alicorn's and draconequss's nose.
"Eww. What's that disgusting smell?" Twilight put a hoof to her nose, however, the draconequus walked through without a fuss it might've been because of his hight.
The next thing Twilight knew wad she was pushed to the ground as a giant wooden-like creature pounced out of bushes and crashed into a tree. The wooden creature broke apart and what was left of it was twigs. "That my dear Twilight was a Timberwolf, " Discord replied, extending his paw to help the alicorn up.
Twilight took his paw in her hoof as she was hoisted up. "Thank you so much," she said with a bright smile.
...
Discord continued to take charge until both he and Twilight stood outside an entrance to the cave. "Take my paw." Twilight did what she was told and took his paw in her hoof. In the draconequus other hand was a flashlight he conjured up.
"What is that?" Twilight asked looking at the strange cylinder-like object curiously.
"This is a flashlight it will guide our way through the dark," the draconequus answered with a smirk. He turned it on and began to lead Twilight into the dark cave which was lit by his flashlight.
...
After about half an hour the two stopped at something that made Twilight's heart melt. Right in front of them was the tree of harmony. "Welcome back, Twilight," Discord announced.
Twilight touched a hoof to her chest. "Wow...Discord. The first place we met," Twilight exclaimed. Then she hugged the draconequus unbeknownst to the two a pair of green eyes was watching from behind the tree.
"I thought you might've wanted to see this before we depart to Canterlot," Discord said.
"It's very lovely, thank you Discord. Thank you so much you're the best." Twilight stared at the dazzling crystal true unable to see the green eyes on the other side. The tree showed five branches with the giant star in the middle. "Discord what is the purpose of this tree exactly?"
"This is the Tree of Harmony, left here by the pillars as a means of defence if they ever to disappear. It use to house the legendary Elements of Harmony, the instrument of my defeat Equestria greatest weapon if you may. It provides harmony across all the land," the spirit explained.
Twilight's eyes lit up brightly. "Woah..." Twilight cooed in amazement. Then realization hit her. "Wait a minute the last time I came down here I had to go downstairs from this giant hill."
"You did but this is another way in," Discord remarked.
"Okay. Anyway, I'm ready to go to Canterlot."
Discord nodded reluctantly. "Next stop Canterlot." Both him and Twilight disappeared in a flash.
A creature emerged from behind the tree; the creature had a Dark cerulean long mane, her body was black with a dark green shell. Her horn was crocked, she also had bug-like wings, and her eyes were green.
