//------------------------------// // Chapter 6 // Story: Discord 2 // by Chaos04 //------------------------------// It was a brand new morning in the Everfree Forest, as the young purple alicorn was waking up with a smile and a cute yawn. "Yesterday was the best," she said, looking at a picture on her bedside table; it showed her and her five other friends. What she would do to see them again. ... As Twilight entered the kitchen, she saw no sign of the draconequus. "That's weird, usually he's here before," said the alicorn, before leaving the kitchen. She walked down the corridor towards the draconequus's door. She knocked on a door with a hoof. "Discord?" There was no response. ... Discord and Twilight locked eyes, as a rainbow laser blasted at him. He looked at the young alicorn with a tearful look, the alicorn shared the same expression once the rainbow hit. ... Discord looked at the door with an uneasy look. "Yes?" "Discord, is there something wrong?" Twilight called through the door. "No everything's quite alright," the draconequus replied through the door. After a few moments of silence, he heard hoof steps going in the other direction until the sound was gone. Finally, he decided to go and eat breakfast. He walked through the corridor before making his way towards the kitchen, upon entering he saw Twilight eating a pancake with a sad look. Seeing this look, the draconequus drew near, once upon the alicorn Discord wrapped his talon and paw around her chest and brought her close for an embrace. Twilight was a bit startled at first but returned with a small smile. ... Discord and Twilight were sitting in a mud bath. Twilight sighed in satisfaction. "This is so nice..." Discord laid back with a smile. "Yep, what can be better than this?" "Discord, could I ask a favour?" Twilight asked with an uneasy look, nervousness filling her voice. The draconequus shrugged his shoulders, before conjuring up a glass of chocolate milk. "Sure go ahead," he said, before taking a sip. "Can I please visit Ponyville?" the draconequus spat out his milk. "Give me time to think about this," said the draconequus with an uncertain tone of voice. Twilight nodded in agreement. "Okay, Discord. Thanks for considering it," Twilight said with a small smile. Twilight then stood up. "Where are you going?" Discord asked with a raised brow. "Just to my room, I wanted to do a quick little something." Discord nodded. Then, Twilight walked out of the kitchen to her room, leaving the draconequus to his thoughts. ... Twilight entered her room before sitting at a desk. In front of her was her diary, a place where she stored her fondest memories. Using her levitation spell, she made her quill fly from her shelf to above the diary. She then opened the diary with a hoof before beginning to write. Dear diary, this is Twilight again. And this time I'm writing about my adventures in the simple but lovely Ponyville; it's a nice small town full of the three pony races: unicorn, pegasi, and earth ponies. Not only that I managed to make five new wonderful friends: Rarity is such a very generous mare. Nopony else's generosity can ever compare. She works in the Carousel Boutique, and her job consists of making dresses for other ponies...did I mention how generous she is?! Anyway, moving on. Next, we have Rainbow Dash; her ego may drive ponies crazy, but what makes her her is her loyalty. She is also the fastest flyer in all of Ponyville, she can also manage to create a sonic rainboom. She's also in charge of the Cloudsdale weather team. Next, we have Fluttershy, such a kind mare she is, also her personal speaks for itself. She may be very shy but she has a heart of pure gold. She lives in a cottage taking care of the numerous animal population that surrounds it. Now, let's talk about Applejack; she is a very honest pony. Most ponies tell me she never lies which surprises me since I know some ponies have tendencies to lie. She works in an orchard called Sweet Apple Acres. Every morning in the dawn she bucks apples to sell later in the day. Finally, we have Pinkie Pie; this pony kinda is a pain to figure out so when and if I see her again I'll never question her. Anyway off topic here. She works and lives at Sugarcube Corner. She loves to make ponies laugh and smile, as well as she is Ponyville's official party planner. First time I saw her she shot past me like a live bullet, not fun. Anyway, I have this strange feeling that Discord has a history with them or the elements they represent. Forgot to mention me and my five new best friends each represents an Element of Harmony; mine is Magic, Rarity's is Generosity, Applejack's is Honesty, Rainbow's is Loyalty, Pinkie's is Laughter, and finally, Fluttershy's is Kindness. If my hunch is correct Discord fears the Elements of Harmony since they were the reason he was turned to stone in the first place. Anyway, this is Twilight signing out. Twilight closed the diary before putting it away on her self. Knowing Discord's fear of the elements it may be a while until she'd get a response. She might as well pass the time rereading her diary entries. Using her magic, the diary she put away moments ago came flying back towards her. She opened to the first page and began to read. ... Discord was in his room, with a claw on his chin he was thinking about the response to his friend's request. "What should I do? Twilight won't betray me, right?" An idea clicked in his head, as a mischievous grin spread across his face. His eyes shined red in the darkness of the room, as an echo of laughter filled the room.
