//------------------------------// // Chapter 10: Who's Afraid Of A Little Adventure // Story: Dancing With The Shadows // by Vocal Sweets //------------------------------// Harmonia, being the adventurous young draconequus she was, makes her way through Everfree Forest. She was making her way to Froggy Bottom Bog. The eerie atmosphere, making the young draconequus unaware of the danger that lurks within forest.  Harmonia continues to plays along the path that her mother told Zecora to mark for her, which held tiny colorful speckles of stones. Harmonia teeters along a small fallen log across. She  looks up and just from afar heald Froggy Bottom Bog, Harmonia saw it within her field of vision.  Harmonia being a tad clumsy, accidentally trips over the log. She begins to tumble down the cliff, but her tumbling comes to a stop once after she bumps into somepony, who looked to be around her age.  Harmonia opens her eyes to come face to face with a creature she has never seen before.  The creature then looks at Harmonia, her eyes narrowed at her. She looked like she was ready to pounce her.  Harmonia backs away, slightly timid by her appearance. “What are you doing here, Equestrianer. Who are you?” she sneers, demanding answers from the draconequus.  Harmonia moves to the left, the creature follows. She tries to move to the right, once again the creature follows.  The creature stops, and looks at the draconequus, confused by her movements. “What are you doing?” She asks.  “My daddy says to never turn your back on a changeling.” Harmonia sneers. The changeling smirks at her. “Do you always do what daddy says?” The changeling asks.  Harmonia’s eyebrows were furrowed. “No!” she scoffs.  The changeling saw how amusing it was to tick off the draconequus, so she pressed further. “Betcha do! I bet your daddy’s little girl.” She laughs.  Harmonia remains silent, her ears flat. The changeling then turns to make her way to Froggy Bottom Bog, the exact same place where Harmonia was heading. “A changeling doesn't need anypony. I can take care of myself.” Harmonia’s friendly interest peeks within this changeling, she starts to follow behind her.  Like her mother, Harmonia begins to ask questions. “Really?” Harmonia asks.  Without watching, Harmonia steps on a twig which snaps. Alerting a pack of timberwolves. “Cool!” Harmonia said, her tone rather exciting.  The changeling smiles at her, but her smile quickly falters into a frown especially one of fear. Her eyes went wide as she started to scream at Harmonia, who was in return- was unaware that a Timberwolf with its mouth open, hovering above her.  Harmonia quickly turns to see what the changeling was screaming about, which what she saw made Harmonia scream as well. “Run!” She yells at the changeling.  Without hesitation, the changeling and Harmonia runs through the forest. The timberwolf howling for more to come after the two.  Harmonia was about to leap to a nearby branch, as the changeling follows after. But she quickly retreats when she sees that a timberwolf leaps out in front of them.  “This way!” Harmonia said, leading the two manage to dodge the timberwolf.  The timberwolf growls and howls signaling more to follow it.  “You are a changeling! Right? Can’t you change?!” Harmonia asks, her tone laced with fear.    “Yes! But I haven’t fully mastered my powers yet! Plus I can’t exactly change when I have a powerful emotion of fear.” The changeling explains. Both were running for their lives, they noticed that Zecora's hut was just in Harmonia's field of  vision. Harmonia groans. "Come on! Zecora's hut is just ahead!" Harmonia said, running towards the zebra’s hut. Harmonia teleports both, herself and the changeling inside. Zecora wasn't at home, she must have been out in town grabbing ingredients for her potions. Or she was wrong, the zebra looks at the two. Their backs pressed against Zecora's door, their hearts pounding. "What seems to have your nerves in a jumble and fright? Don't you know it's dangerous out here in this forest of fright?" The zebra asks. Harmonia was out of breath. “Zecora! There are Timberwolves after us. Please you have to-”  The changeling screaming cuts Harmonia off, as the Timberwolf pounds against the door, tempting to knock it down.  After the third attempt, the Timberwolf succeeded. It's teeth bared, growling and eyeing the two.  Harmonia notices the backdoor for Zecora's hut. “Sorry about this Zecora.” Harmonia said, looking apologetic at the zebra.  She knocks over Zecora brew, sending the contents spilling onto the floor and towards the timberwolf.  The timberwolf corals in fear, Harmonia then uses her magic to blast the timberwolf to pieces.  “Sorry once again about your potion Zecora. Come on! Let's go!” Harmonia said, telling the changeling to come on.  The changeling follows Harmonia out the back of Zecora's hut.  Sure enough the duo was met once again by more Timberwolves. “Oh come on! How many more are there of you muts!” Harmonia growls, slightly annoyed.  She blasts a few of the timberwolves with her magic, before taking off. Once again, they both ran for their lives. Froggy Bottom Bog was just in their field of vision. “Froggy Bottom Bog is just ahead! Maybe I can teleport us there!” Harmonia explains.  In a flash the draconequus teleports the two into the muddy muds of Froggy Bottom Bog. Harmonia and the changeling pants. “That was close!” Harmonia said.  “Yeah…” The changeling said, softly smiling at her.  They slowly start to rise from the mud, both screaming at how high they were. The two were unaware that they were stand on top of a three-headed hydra. The hydra snaps its jaws at the changeling, who hoovers above it to avoid being lunch.   Harmonia dives for a nearby branch, hanging onto it for dear life. The changeling on the other leaves Harmonia. “H-Hey! What about me?” Harmonia said, her tone of voice shaking with fear.  The changeling leaps through the mud. “I’ll distract it! Run!” The changeling shouts.  The changeling runs through the mud, and slips falling face first.  Harmonia, claws at the hydra who turns and narrows its head at the changeling. The hydra stops for Harmonia and stalks its way towards the young changeling. “Hey! Look out!” Harmonia yells.     The hydra stalks it way over to the changeling. Who scurries and backs into a head tree limb. Its jaws open, ready to bite.  Harmonia blasts the hydra from behind, before pouncing on it snapping its jaws shut. “Move it!” Harmonia said, her tone worried. She watched as the changeling climbs up the tree branch, she follows behind. The hydra snaps at her, nearly missing her tail.  The changeling leaps to safety, which was on the cliff. Harmonia on the other hand was still clinging onto the branch as the hydra snaps at the branch causing it to shake. “Woah!” Harmonia said, clingling it a little tighter.  “You are going to have to jump!” The changeling shouts.  Harmonia lets go of the branch and leaps, making it to safety. Harmonia and the changeling pants. They could hear the roar of the hydra, they both look over the cliffs edge to the that the hydra was making it way back to its home.  “I did it!” Harmonia whispers her tone rather proud of herself. She pauses for a second to realize what she had it. “Ha! I did it!” She repeats again, her tone becoming boastful.  She sticks out her tongue at the hydra making a strange noise with it. The changeling smirks at the draconequus before looking down at the hydra. “Ha!” The changeling sasses, before turning to leave.    *** Sweet Celestia! Did you see the size of those teeth?” Harmonia asks the changeling. “It was like rawr! Rawr! Rawr!” Harmonia giggles, making her attempt to sound like a hydra, but she only winded up sounding adorable.  The changeling smiles at her. “We barely escaped with our lives… that wasthrilling.” Harmonia grins, her expression rather exciting.  From afar, a mysterious shadow was watching their every move. Their eyes glowed.   “You know? We would make such a great team! You were really brave!” Harmonia said, her tone still overly excited. The changeling looks at Harmonia, as if she had too much cotton candy and chocolate milk.  “Well, you were pretty brave too! Besides, I would probably not would even have made it out alive if it wasn’t for your help. My name is Amaris!” The changeling, Amaris said.  “Nice to meet you! My name is Harmonia, but my friends call me Harmony.” Harmonia explains.  The shadow lingers, sneering at Harmonia and Amaris.  It was about to lunge at the two, before a familiar voice started to make it think twice.  “There you two are! You had us worried sick!” Twilight said, the Mane 5 along with Discord and Princess Luna follows.  “How did you even know we were out here?” Harmonia asks.  “You can thank your Aunt Pinkie Pie and her Pinkie Senses.” Discord said, pointing his claw over to the pink mare.  “It’s a good thing too, because I would hate it if something really bad happened to you two. But thanks to my Pinkie Sense you are a-okay.” Pinkie beams.  “Your father is Discord?” Amaris mutters to the draconequus.  “Your mother is Princess Luna?” Harmonia mutters back.  “What are you two out here? Don’t you know it's dangerous?” Luna asks.   “I told you to stay close to Zecora’s hut! Not out here in Boggy Bottom Bog.” Discord said, his tone rather strict toward Harmonia.   Harmonia flinched at her father’s rather strict tone. “At least you girls are both safe, now come on. Let’s go home.” Twilight said, motioning for her daughter to come on.  “Thank you once again for helping us, Twilight.” Luna said.  “You are ever so welcome Princess.” Twilight said, softly smiling.  She looks down at her daughter, who was looking at Discord with remorse. “Come on, sweetheart. Let’s head home.” Twilight said, brushing her daughter’s hair out of her eyes.  *** The walk back to Twilight’s castle was fairly far. Harmonia stays inches behind Discord. The others were ahead, and Twilight was just a few feet in front of Discord.  Twilight turns to look at Discord. “Dissy?” Twilight asks, her tone soft.  Discord clears his throat. Twilight took it as a sign that everything would hopefully be okay. She gives a soft smile before heading on down the trail back to her castle.  Discord looks at a whimpering young draconequus. He snaps his claws and places her on a nearby rock. Harmonia looks at her father with a wide apologetic toothy grin, but it quickly falters when she notices how crossed he was at her.  “Harmonia? What did you think you were doing? You could have been killed today.” Discord said, speaking to her in a rather strict way.    “But daddy, I… I didn’t mean to diso-” Harmonia said, ready to state her defense, but Discord cuts her off.  “I’m telling you this because I love you. I don’t want to see anything bad happen to you- or worse lose you.” Discord explains.  Harmonia hangs her head, knowing that she has disappointed two of the most caring people in all of Equestria. “I know.” she said, her tone full of sorrow.  “I-If something happened to you I wouldn’t know what I’d do without you fuzzball.” Discord said, ruffling his daughter’s mane.  Discord sighs. “One day, we won’t be here. And as future princess of chaos and Friendship your mother and I will need you to carry on in our place.” Discord said.  Harmonia huffs. “I know, I know. You tell me this a thousand times.” she said, her paws crossed.  “Exactly. And you need to be careful.” Discord said.  “But what if I don’t want to be next in line, I mean do I really have to take mommy and your throne?” Harmonia asks.  Discord gawks at the young draconequus, speechless. “You actually have to. You are the only child after all.” Discord explains.  Harmonia huffs, her paws folded. Discord sighs. “But, that's like saying you don't want to be a draconequus. It's in your blood, as I am.” Discord said, his tone softens.  “We are a part of each other.” Discord said.  “Hmph!” Harmonia said, her tiny paws remained crossed over her chest, her fuzzy face held a “stuck up Canterlot pony” look.  Discord smirks at his daughter, and gently pushes her down from the rock.  “Oof!” Harmonia said, she landed in an awkward position. Her mane, covering her vision, she moves her mane to catch a glimpse of Discord smiling at her, trying his best not to laugh.  "We're always going to be best friends, right Daddy?' Harmonia asked, as she softly smiles back. She hugs Discord, embracing the hug for a mere second. Discord looks at her. "Of course we will be now. Come on kiddo, let's head home." Discord said, Harmonia and Discord made it back to Twilight's castle. Discord smiled at the castle before looking down at his daughter, who gave a look of confusion.  Discord softly smiles at her. “As long as you live here, it's who you are. You'll understand someday.” Discord softly spoke to her.  He then looks back once more before returning inside, leaving Harmonia alone. She stares blankly at the castle before her, she turns around noticing the town and her future citizens before her. The afternoon setting sun casting a soft glow across the town, making everything look quite and at peace like harmony was magical there.  Harmonia softly smiles, she then turns to head inside for the rest of the night.  *** Harmonia laid snug in her covers reading one of her books that her Aunt Rainbow Dash let her borrow which was Daring Do and The Quest for The Sapphire Statue. She was on a specific chapter when she heard a knock on the door.   The door creaks open to reveal Twilight and Discord.  “Harmonia.” Discord said, his tone strict.  “Harmonia, I am very disappointed in you!” He said, his voice strict.  “I know I’m probably grounded for disobeying your rules.” Harmonia mutters, shutting her book.  “That you are.” Discord said, his tone deadpanned but sterned.  Harmonia sighs. “How long am I grounded for?” she asked.  ‘You are grounded…. For… till college.” Discord said.  “For til college?!” Harmonia asked, slightly bewildered.  “FOR TIL COLLEGE!” Discord said.  “Discord!” Twilight scolds.  Twilight then looks at Harmonia, even though she was disappointed in her child she still was concerned for her well-being and safety, they both were. “Harmonia, why didn’t you tell somepony where you were going?” Twilight asked, concerned.  “To be fair, nopony asked.” Harmonia said, her tone blunt.  “Fuzzball!” Discord scolded.  “What?! They didn’t!” Harmonia said, her tone defensive.  “You spilled Zecora’s brew.” Twilight said.  “Because I was trying to get away from the timber wolves, and I told her I was sorry before I spilled it.” Harmonia explains.  “I expect a real apology from you tomorrow, missy.” Twilight said.  “Fine.” Harmonia mutters.  Twilight sighs, it was now Discord’s turn to speak. “Don’t you understand Harmony? We could have lost you today! You could have been killed!” Discord said, his voice stern.  “But I didn’t. Also you and mom can -” Harmonia said, but Twilight shuts her daughter up quickly.  “No not anytime soon. Besides, you're enough to make three of you.” Twilight said.  Harmonia giggles.  “Now hold on dear, maybe Fuzzball here may have a --” Discord said.  “Discord! No.” Twilight scolds.  Discord rolled his eyes, his paw and claw crossed while he drummed his paw on his shoulder.  “Sweetie, you're eight years old, you know better than to wonder off like that especially in the Everfree Forest alone! Like your father said you could have been killed and what’s worse you put Luna’s daughter in danger as well. ” Twilight said her tone was strict.   “I know I was just trying to prove that I was brave like you guys.” Harmonia sniffles, her voice slightly cracked.  “Harmonia, we’re only brave when we have to be like when Equestria is in danger. That's your mother’s call to be brave and protect all of Equestria. But being brave doesn't mean you go looking for trouble to get into.”  Discord explains.  “He’s right.” Twilight said, her tone soft.  “But, you’re not scared of anything. And everypony’s have fears don’t they?” Harmonia asked.  “Yes, everypony has fears, and our greatest fear almost came true.” Twilight explains.  “Almost?” Harmonia questions.  “Yes, we thought we could have lost you, today.” Discord said.  “Wow, so even the Lord Chaos can get scared sometimes too, huh?” Harmonia asked, slightly smiling.  “Mhm.” Discord said.  “But you know what?” Harmonia said.  “What?” Discord asked.  “I think those Timber wolves and hydra were more scared of me. You should have seen me.”  Harmonia said, smiling lightly.  Discord laughs. “That’s my girl.” he said.  “Dad, can I ask you something?” Harmonia asked.  “You sound like your mother when she comes in with loads of questions.” Discord said. “Hey!” Twilight said, defensive.  “I’m kidding dear, sort of.” Discord said. Twilight playfully rolled her eyes. “Daddy, we’re always going to be best friends right?” Harmonia asked.  “Of course.” Discord said softly.  “Then that’s all I need to know.” Harmonia said.  “Hey what about me?” Twilight asked.  “Of course you too mom.” Harmonia said, light smiling, before turning over and going to sleep.  “Goodnight, sweetie.” Twilight said, as she turned out the light, leaving Harmonia to sleep peacefully.  Twilight and Discord watched from the doorway, softly smiling to themselves. “You know we did a pretty good raising her so far, huh?” Discord mutters.  “We did, didn’t we?” Twilight said, softly smiling.  Discord and Twilight both watched for a moment, being present and content in the moment.  “...... so about that second child.” Discord asked a playful look on his face.  Twilight’s eyes widened. “Goodnight, Discord.” She mutters before walking away. *** There was a knock on the castle door revealing Zecora who received a letter by Twilight’s request.  “Thank you for stopping by Zecora. I believe a certain child of mine owes you a sincere apology.” Twilight said, going into the main foyer of her castle where Harmonia stood, her small paw scuffles the tile flooring.  “Do you have something to say to Zecora?” Twilight asked, her eyebrow arched looking at her daughter.  Harmonia sighs. “I’m really and truly sorry for spilling your potion or brew yesterday. I was only trying to get away from the timberwolves. If you want, I can come help you make a new batch later on.” She said.  “That’s quite alright little one for I accept your apology. For you are still young, learning and evolving. Yes, it is true I was upset when you knocked over my brew. But hearing this apology from the heart is astonishing.” Zecora said, smiling at Harmonia.  Harmonia looks at Zecora with a confused expression. “Does that mean all is forgiven or?”  “You’ll have to forgive my words, for I speak in the rhymes of my native and nothing more.” Zecora said, lightly chuckling.   “It’s just in her strange way of saying that she forgives you Fuzzball.” Discord said grinning, which earns a disappointing glare from Twilight and Zecora.  Zecora then turns to Twilight. “The apology was sincere and true I must say, but for now I can not overstay.” She said.  “Of course we understand.” Twilight said smiling.  “Do we tho?” Discord mutters, which earns a light giggle from Harmonia.  Twilight overhears and gives them a side glare, but quickly turns her attention back to Zecora.  “Goodbye my dear friends for I will see you all real soon, but little one? Here's some advice: don't go looking for trouble or running into timber wolves at night.” She winks at Harmonia before taking her leave.  The door shuts and Harmonia looks at her mother. “Can we go to the park now? Please.”  “Yeah please.” Discord said, his eyes wide and pleading.  “I thought you said she was grounded and in your words: for til college?”  Twilight smirks.  “Who cares when there’s a park to cause chaos in?!” Discord said, his tone excited.  Twilight laughs. “Alright , alright I guess since you apologize sincerely to Zecora we can go.” Twilight said smiling.  “Yay! Come on daddy let’s go!” Harmonia beamed.  *** Celestia's afternoon sun shines brightly on the green grass, the wind blowing softly through the trees. Discord, Twilight and Harmonia were having a family day out. Twilight sighed as the cool breeze flew on her face and mane. She looked around to see ponies with their sons and daughters playing together.  Harmonia chases a tiny Peacock who is screaming for her life.  Harmonia giggles at the toying of this tiny pony. “You're sooo cute!” Harmonia said, still playing with her “toy”.  “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! PLEASE!! GET AWAY FROM ME!! PLEASEEE!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Peacock screams, her voice tiny and squeaky.  Discord laughs at what their daughter was doing. “Honey, you have to see what Harmonia is doing.” He said, still laughing. Twilight follows her husband's gaze, instead of laughing she gasps and rushes over to Harmonia. She places a firm hoof on Harmonia’s shoulder, giving her a dark glare. Harmonia groans loudly and poofs the little pony back to her original size.  “Gahh! Thank you Princess Twilight! I thought I was going to be dinner!” Peacock said, stroking her yellow mane.  “You’re welcome Miss. My daughter here has a bit of trouble controlling her magic. I promise that it won’t happen again.” Twilight said with an apologetic smile.  Peacock bowed and walked away from the princess.  Twilight turned to her daughter. “Harmonia, what did we say about using your magic on other ponies?” Twilight scolds.  “I'm sorry, mommy. It won't happen again I promise.” Harmonia gives Twilight her sweetest smile ever.  Twilight nods and returns back to her bench which was under a tree with Discord.  Harmonia scans the playground looking for somepony to play with. She lays eyes upon a sweet pegasus, she had apricot fur and her mane and tail were mediocre sized and curled with the shades of burnt amber orange with teal and blue streaks, her mane being short, half down and half up, her tail was the same length as her mane except it had a curl at the end.  Harmonia thought to herself. “She looks rather friendly, but I rather not bother, she looks busy.”  *** From afar sat a regal young unicorn stallion, he had lavender eyes, a pale frost blue coat, his mane was slick back with colors of frost white, pale blue and light yellow.  He was about the age of Harmonia, if not by 5 years.  He was sitting under a shade tree, watching others ponies run and play. Wishing he could be doing the same thing, however his guards wouldn't let him even step hoof on the grass. His family may be royalty, but he was nothing like his parents or sister. “Can I at least go and play with somepony my age? Sitting here and observing others is boring.” The young stallion complained.  “Prince Illusion, you know your father does not want you to associate with commenders.” The guard explains, his tone uptight.  “If it is anyone to blame. It's your father's rules not ours.” Apologizes the other guard.  Illusion rolls his eyes. “I've got to find a way to get this goons off of my back.” He thought to himself.   Then, an idea came to his head. “Say, I'm a bit famished at the moment. Can you both go to the Ponyville market to pick up some apples?” Illusion asks. “Sir, those apples are only grown on a farm called Sweet Apple Acres. Do you really expect us to go all the way there for just a few apples from a peasant?” Questions the first guard, his eyebrows raised. “Yes, and if you don't then I will just tell Dad about the extra bits you two secretly stashed just to get extra cider on that same peasants farm four weeks ago.” Illusion smirks.  The guards eyes widen. “Right away your highness.” They said in unison.  Illusion watched as they flew off before turning his attention back to the semi-crowded park. “Now's my chance.” He thought to himself.  He steps off of his “royal” blanket and steps hoof first into the grass. He grins, looking forward at the other ponies. Excitement was shown through his teeth with a gleam in his eyes.  He had a feeling that today was going to be perfect.  Or so he thought.  A bright raspberry pink orb, shot out of nowhere wizzes pass him.  Illusion ducks. “Where did that come from.” He thinks to himself. He scans the crowd, targeting his mysterious suspect. “Hey! Watch where you are aiming! Are you-” He shouts, but quickly stops when he sees who it was.  A tiny young draconequus quickly runs up to him, an apologetic expression on her face. “I am so sorry.” Harmonia squeaks.  “Well hello there.” Illusion’s tone went from slightly stunned and strearn to charming.  Harmonia heart race quickened and her cheeks held a hint of pink to it. “Come on Harmonia say something….” She thought to herself.  “I-um-ah-” Harmonia stutters, trying her best to form some sentences to say to the beautiful young stallion.  Illusion chuckles. “I'm Illusion. Prince Illusion that is.” He gives her his hoof to shake, but Harmonia stares at it wondering if she should touch him or not.  “Well don't be rude.” Her thought argues with her, Harmonia shakes his hoof. “What's your name?” He asks.  “Harmony-” Harmonia spills out.  “Way to go! You just told him your nickname.” Harmonia thought. “But only my friends-” Harmonia said, but was quickly cut off.  Illusion lightly chuckles. Harmonia gave him a curious look. “My apologies for my laughter, but it was not at you. There's just something unique about you.” He gives Harmonia a lopsided grin.  “I hope that's a good thing.” Harmonia mutters.  Illusion waves a dismissive hoof. “Oh believe me, it is.” he said, his tone nonchalant.  “So, you said you’re a Prince? I've never heard of anypony new being born into royalty.” Harmonia questions.  “And that's because you haven't. I was born before my sister, with my father, is classified as the Duke.” Illusion explains.  Harmonia made adoring eyes at the young prince. She did not hear or even see her mother walk up towards her. “Sweetie, it's time to go.” Twilight said, her tone soft.  She didn't notice the starstruck look her daughter had on her face. “Umm Harmony, sweetie.” Twilight looked to where her daughter was gazing at.  “Oh, hello! I didn't see you there.” Twilight said, referring to the handsome young unicorn stallion.   “I’m-” Twilight was about to introduce herself, but the stallion cut her off.  “Princess Twilight Sparkle. Ah, yes my mother has told me so much about you.” Illusion said, extending his hoof for her to shake.  Twilight shook his hoof then looked back down at her daughter; she giggled and patted her daughter’s mane. Harmonia looked at her mother in confusion.  “Looks like some pony has a bit of a crush” Twilight teases. Harmonia looked at her mother, confused and shocked.  “WHAT?! NO! I DO NOT! WHY WOULD I HAVE A CRUSH ON ILLUSION?!” Harmonia blurted, her face turning red from embarrassment.  Twilight giggles. “Alright, then you won't mind if I invite Illusion and his family over for dinner at the castle tonight?” A sly smirk spreads onto Twilight's lips.  Harmonia stayed silent as every possible chaotic scenario was running through her mind. She was mentally having a freakout in her own head. Illusion smiled and walked up to Harmonia.   “I think that is a great idea Princess Twilight! I will tell my mother and father about this, right away! I’m sure that they would love to have dinner with you and your family!” IIlusion said, his eyes sparkling.  “Right then. Please come to my castle at 7pm tomorrow tonight.” Twilight said.  “Of course!” IIIusion said, he gave a small smile to Harmonia as she blushed.  “Come on sweetie, I guess we better go home and prepare for tomorrow.” Twilight turns to leave. Harmonia nodded and turned towards IIIusion, scratching her lion's paw.  “Um.. so, I guess I will see you tomorrow tonight then?” Harmonia said, softly.  “Yes! It was a pleasure meeting you Harmony.” Illusion winks at her as he takes his hoof into hers and gently shook it. Harmonia blushed wildly as IIIusion walked away from her. Once IIIusion was out of her sight, she let out a happy squeal and ran to her mother.
