Trixie POV:
Canterlot is a bustling city filled with high society ponies, each holding a specific status within the city.
Ponies walk the streets of Canterlot, but inside the west wing of the Canterlot castle holds the royal family of four: Prince Blueblood, Trixie Lunamoon, their younger daughter Mystic and their oldest son by 3 years, Illusion.
“Mother, Father, little sister. The Princess gives us personal invitations to have dinner tonight at her castle.” Illusion announces.
The parents stop what they are doing and look at their son. Mystic was the first to speak up.
“Why do we have to go there?” Mystic complains.
“Because it's a royal invite. Besides you never turn down an invitation from royalty.” Trixie explains to her daughter.
Mystic grimace, her muzzle scrunched slightly. “But it's in Ponyville, why is it there?” Whines Duke Blueblood.
Trixie rolls her eyes. “I swear you two are just alike.” She complains to the two.
“Besides, I finally get to see Starlight again. I haven't seen her in a while.” Trixie mutters slightly, but still loud enough for them to hear.
“You wish to see her? But she's just a regular old unicorn. She doesn't live up to our standards.” Prince Blueblood said, his tone sounding rather snarky and uptight than normal.
Trixie turns around giving Blueblood a forcible grin, her teeth slightly clenched as she was talking through her teeth. “Because she is my best friend and all of us are going to that dinner tonight whether you like it or not!” She snaps.
She plastering a forcible grin falters as she turns to her son. “What time does the dinner start, Illusion?” She asks.
“Seven pm sharp. The location is Princess Twilight's castle.” Illusion said, remembering what the Princess of Friendship said.
Blueblood looks at the clock. “It is 4pm now, that gives us two hours to get ready. You know how long it takes us to get ready.”
“If it's a Twilight's castle then oooo Trixie can't wait to rub my better life in her face.” Trixie thinks to herself, grinning triumphantly.
“Mother, you aren't going to try and beat Princess Twilight Sparkle again are you?” Illusion asks, his eyebrow raised slightly. His expression deadpanned.
“What? Of course not!” Trixie scoffed.
Illusion and Mystic now both gave the same expression. “How long ago has their rivalry been going on?” Mystic mutters to her brother.
Illusion sighs. “Honestly, I lost count.” He's voice remains monotonous.
“Come on, can I please do it just this once?” Trixie pleads.
“Trixie, my dear you know you are better than this. You know this is no way for royalty to act.” Blueblood scolds his wife.
Trixie rolls her eyes. “Fine.” She grumbles.
“We will all leave at 5:30 pm. So, children you should be ready before hoof, at least by 5:22pm.” Blueblood announces.
Blueblood and Trixie both depart from their children leaving Mystic and Illusion alone.
“You think this dinner will go smoothly tonight?” Mystic asks.
Illusion chuckles to himself. “Oh I highly doubt that.”
Illusion and Mystic then parted ways going to get dressed for the dinner at Twilight's tonight.
***
“Do you think this dress is pretty enough mommy?” Harmonia asks, she had on a pastel lavender dress, the waist associated with tiny pearls and diamonds.
Twilight exams her daughter's choice of fashion. “Sweetie you do know we don't wear clothes, Right?” Twilight stifled a small giggle.
“Well you were wearing clothes to that one fancy party that gets held once a year.” Harmonia said.
“It's called the Grand Galloping Gala.” Twilight explains, still giggling.
“Besides what you are wearing screams “Regal Is My Middle Name.” Harmonia gestures to Twilight's dress.
Her dress was raspberry pink with gold trimming on the edges.
Twilight grimace. “You have a point, it may be a bit over the top, but this is a dinner party so pick something a bit classical. Make sure to wear your crown while you're at it.” Twilight said, gesturing to the crown on Harmonia's bedside table.
“Fine!” Harmonia huffs.
“I'll be back in a few to check on you.” Twilight then shuts the door.
“As much as I love Rarity's design and hard work maybe this could be toned down a bit, besides Harmonia right this is a bit too much.” Twilight thought to herself she quickly went to her room to change into something more classical for a royal family dinner.
***
Harmonia and Twilight both existed for their bedroom. Rarity was right less is more.
Harmonia had on her crown and her sparkly bow that Rarity gave her for her 5th birthday a couple of months back. She even decided to wear a few pieces of jewelry. Her mane was done in a fancy French braid on the side.
Twilight mane was in an elegant updo, her gold crown sitting upon her mane. She changed from a regal look to something more sophisticated and relaxing. It was a lavender dress with white pearls and white diamonds around the waist.
“Hey wasn't I going to wear that mommy?” Harmonia asks.
“Technically it's mine in the first place, you just took it out of my closest without my permission.” Twilight scolds.
Harmonia's face reddens slightly from embarrassment. “I guess I should have told you.” Harmonia mumbles.
“It's fine let's go see what your daddy is doing.” Twilight said.
Twilight and Harmonia walk down the hallway to find Discord, but stop when they notice something off about the interior of the castle. “Mommy? Is it just me or have you always had the hallway this bouncy?”
Twilight stops climbing the stairs and looks at her surroundings. It was not the hallway that they always enter, it was more of a bouncy hallway floor. “Discord!” Twilight yells.
Discord appears in a flash. “Yes my dear?” He asks his tone innocently.
“Why is the hallway floor made into a bouncy house floor?” Twilight wonders. Her and Harmonia continue to bounce.
“Why? So it will be fun for our guests.” Discord chuckles as he watches his wife and daughter bounce.
“Daddy, I don't think the royal family would want something like this at a dinner party.” Harmonia explains.
“But I thought you loved bouncy hallways?” Discord asks.
“I do, but for our guests… Maybe no….” Harmonia mutters.
Discord looks at his daughter wondering what has gotten into her. He then poofs the floor back to normal leaving the two to hit the ground with a thud. “Ouch!” They both said in unison.
He then poofs the three into the dining room of Twilight's castle.
“Harmonia, what gives? You love pulling pranks on our guests.” Discord said, his tone sounding slightly offended and hurt.
“I still do it, can we be a normal family for one night? Please?” Harmonia begs.
Discord and Twilight both looked at each other confused by what their daughter was requesting.
"They're normal ponies like mom, daddy. They aren't like me and you." Harmonia explains.
"You mean you want to have a boring evening tonight with no chaos?!" Discord asked, slightly shocked by his daughter's normal request.
"It's--" Harmonia said, but the knock on the castle door as Twilight quickly gallops to the door and answers it.
"Please..." Harmonia said, her eyes pleading.
Discord sighs. "Fine, only for this one night. Got it." he said.
Harmonia nods and the two went to join Twilight in the main foyer.
***
“Good evening! We are so pleased to have your wonderful family at our lovely home.” Twilight greets the royal family.
Twilight's calm expression is quickly replaced with one of distasted. “Trixie?!” Her iris shrunk to the size of dimes.
Trixie gives her a smug smile. “Right you are your highness.” she announces.
***
Illusion gave a small fake cough and a stern look. “And thank you for hosting this wonderful dinner!” Trixie said, plastering a fake smile upon her face.
Twilight steps aside to let the royal family through. “Well this is going to be one very eventful night.” Twilight thought to herself.
She sighed as she made her way to the kitchen.
Trixie and Starlight greeted each other as they wrapped hooves around each others necks.
“Trixie it's so great to see you.” Starlight said.
“You too! It's been forever! We have seriously got to stop letting time slip away from us. So how are you enjoying high society life?” Starlight wonders her voice full of excitement.
“Oh it's just wonderful!” Trixie beams. She grins at her best friend, however Starlight could tell there was something off with her best friend.
“Trix? Are you okay?” Starlight wonders, clearly worried for her best friend.
“Of course I'm fine! Never better!” She beams.
Starlight looks at Trixie and a bored expression mounts her face. “Trixie, I can tell when something is bothering you. You know you can tell me.” Said Starlight, she places a hoof on Trixie's back.
Trixie bit her bottom lip, her eyes gazing at Twilight’s floor. “Can we talk about this later?” She asks, her voice sounding small and inaudible.
Starlight raises an eyebrow. “Um… sure?” Starlight's tone was laced with curiosity and worrying for her friend.
Trixie and Starlight turn back to the others in the room and join them.
“Thank you so much for having us over your highness.” Trixie said, plastering another fake smile in her direction.
“Oh you are very welcome!” Twilight smiles back, her voice a bit too cheery.
“Why do I sense tension in the room between you two?” Tempest wonders.
Twilight scoffs. “What? There's no tension, just two friends getting along and hosting a small royal dinner.” Twilight grins.
Tempest looks between the two. “Mhm… if you say so.” Her tone was blunt and nonchalant.
“If you need me your highness I will be right down the hall, patrolling.” Tempest was about to walk off, but Twilight stopped her.
“Tempest, wait! Why don't you join us for tonight? You're a part of this family too after all.” Twilight gave a warm smile.
Her smile also read 'please do not leave me alone in this room with her’.
“Yeah, come on, Tempest! Join us tonight.” Agrees Starlight.
Tempest bit the inside of her cheek, contemplating her choice. She sighs. “..... Fine if you insist.” She gives a light hearted smile to the group.
***
The first two and a half hours of the dinner went by smoothly, surprisingly. Discord haven’t caused any kind of chaos...yet or the fact that Trixie and Twilight wasn’t at each other's throats...yet.
Twilight looks around the dinner table. Trixie, Blueblood and their children were on the left side, Twilight was at the head of the table, Discord and Harmonia were on the right side, Tempest and Starlight were both within the kitchen, Tempest was keeping a close eye between the two mares.
There was so much tension in the room, you would be able to cut it with a knife. The dish that was in front of them was Hay Tamale Pie; Starlight’s favorite dish.
“I wasn’t aware that this was a silent dinner.” Discord said, looking around the room.
Trixie sighed, looking at the slightly lukewarm dish in front of her. Twilight rolls her eyes and uses her magical aura to move her fork around in her pie.
“You know, I made this when I was a filly! I always used to burn the edges of the pie but I have gotten better! You know, I wanted to be a chef before I met Twilight!” Starlight said, trying to break the silence as she took a bite of her cake.
“Really? Well that’s very interesting Starlight.” pipes up Tempest.
“This dinner is more awkward than the royal summents I had to attend to four weeks ago.” Mumbles Blueblood.
“Might as well make some conversation with her, besides this dinner only lasts for two hours.” Twilight stops spinning her fork around her food and looks at her guests.
“So Mystic, how are you enjoying school?” Twilight wonders.
Mystic was cut off guard, she was making cunning glares at Harmonia. “Oh! Um…. Great! The private school that I attended teaches so many advance spells that only Year 3 knows, and I've already mastered a few of them.” Mystic brags as she plasters a fake smile onto her face.
Twilight smiles back.
“You know Illusion helps me with a few of my magic shows in Saddle Arabia over the summer two years ago.” Brags Trixie.
“That's exactly how I got my cutie mark as well.” Illusion said, slightly bashful. His sister may love bragging about herself, but he hated it. He doesn't like to be put on a pedestal all the time, unlike his sister.
“Well that's wonderful to hear! Isn’t it sweetheart?” Discord grins.
Twilight still continues to stick her fork sharply in her food. “Yep, very. So Harmonia what did you learn in school today sweetheart?” Twilight asks, turning her attention back to her daughter.
“It was great! We learned about the Art of Equestria in History today. It was rather a snooze fest however.” Harmonia gave a light-hearted chuckle.
“Well I happen to find history fascinating. You know Starswirl was Princess Luna and Celestia’s private teacher. It was back when they were younger so they never exactly lived with their parents, Starswirl raised them- or so I heard.” Illusion explains, looking mostly directly at Harmonia.
“Yeah, we actually learned about that today.” Harmonia said, giving a small smile.
“I think I had a book about that somewhere in my library.” Twilight said.
“You always have a book for something.” Discord mutters, laughing at his own comment.
Illusion and Harmonia look at each other, slightly blushing. Mystic notices this and growls underneath her breath, obviously jealous of Harmonia.
The two sit there staring at each other, smirking.
“Hey, you want to ditch this snooze fest?” Harmonia asks. They were both sending telepathic messages to each other.
“Of course! But how do we ditch our parents?” Illusion asks, his eyes travel over to the group.
“Leave that to me.” Harmonia said, giving a soft smirk.
Harmonia held one of her paws behind her back, the other one still holding the fork, eating. Harmonia snaps her paw sending a piece of Hay Tamale Pie flying across the room landing in Twilight's mane.
Twilight stops and puts her fork down. “Seriously, Trixie?” Twilight's tone was rather accusing.
Trixie looked at the Princess of Friendship, slightly confused. “What?” She wonders.
Once Twilight didn't answer, she burst out into laughter. “Oh yeah? Well how would you like some of this?” Twilight flings a piece of cake onto Trixie's evening wear.
“Hey! I didn't even do anything.” Trixie said, her voice getting angry.
“Yeah right, I've held up being nice for far too long tonight!” Twilight yells back, still fling food.
“Girls, if we could just all calm down-” Discord reasons. Both of them look at him with glaring eyes. “No!” They both shout in unison.
They continue to fling food and insults to each other. Some of the food managed to land on to Discord and Prince Blueblood.
“Okay! Now it's on! How about you have some dessert. ” Discord said. He magical summons whipped cream pies to the mix of the commotion. While throwing, some of the cream from the pie lands on Blueblood’s suit, he screams.
“Urghhh!! My suit! My new suit!” he yelled, falling back on the floor.
“My hair!” Whines Mystic.
“Can I see one of those pies?” Twilight asks her husband.
“Have at it.” Discord said. Twilight grabs one in her magical aura and flings it in Trixie's face.
“My dish!” whines Starlight, watching all her hard work go to waste. “Do you know how long it took me to make that for them?! It took forever!!” Starlight said to Tempest.
“On the bright side, the kitchen is getting redecorating.” Tempest said.
“Yeah! With my food! This is going to take forever to clean up!” complains Starlight, ignites her horn to create a bubble around herself and Tempest.
Tempest rolls her eyes, slightly annoyed. She removes some whip cream from her armor.
“Aren't you going to stop this?” Starlight asks.
Tempest chuckles. “Nah! Let them fight; this is more entertaining than the time I took over Canterlot.” She smirks.
Harmonia and Illusion both looked at each other, smirking. “Okay, let's go.” Harmonia said.
Illusion smiled back, both of them silently leaving the feuding families behind.
***
The warm night air silently blows through the town of Ponyville. Illusion and Harmonia both breathing a sigh of relief.
“You think they will be okay in there?” Illusion asks, slightly worried.
“They will hopefully cool off in about an hour or two.” Harmonia explains.
“Does your family always throw food at random guests?” Illusion asks, giving her a slight smirk.
“Only to the ones my mommy doesn't like. And apparently she doesn't enjoy your Mommy’s visit too much.” Harmonia grimace slightly.
Illusion gave a light hearted chuckle. “That was pretty crazy what you pulled back there.” He said.
Harmonia blushed. “Well at least it's a night to remember.” Harmonia said.
“You have a point there.” Illusion said he then looks at her. “We must have got caught within the crossfire as well.” He looks at the both of them, laughing.
“What do you mean?” Harmonia wonders.
Illusion finds a tiny stream that was behind Twilight's castle where the School of Friendship was. He walks up to it, looking at both of their reflections. “See what I mean?” He said.
Illusion was right, they both got caught within the food fight. Both of them had bits and pieces of Starlight's pie in their manes and whip cream and crumbs from the pie within their fur.
Harmonia and Illusion both laughed at their appearance, but it was short lived. Illusion stops and silently stares at The School of Friendship. Luna's moon gliming on the schools interior design.
“So your mother runs this school alone?” Illusion asks.
“Not exactly,” Harmonia stares at the school along with him. “I have my aunt's that help her run it.”
“But don't they have life's of their own to manage?” He asks, slightly confused.
“They do, but somehow they still manage to run a school added into their daily lives.” Harmonia said.
She sighs, thinking as she takes the food out of her mane. “What's wrong?” He asks, he's tone gentle.
“It's just- nothing.” She mutters.
“Come on, you can trust me. If you are worried that I'm anything like my sister, then I'm here to tell you that I'm not.” He said, giving Harmonia a gentle smile.
“.... It's just I always prove or feel like I have to live up to both of my parents' standards. I mean my mom is an Element Barrier, saved Equestria more than a dozen times and she's the Princess of Friendship. And my dad… he’s the Lord of Chaos himself! He has lived over a thousand years!” Harmonia complains.
“.... Seems like you have a lot to live up to.” He mutters to her.
“Believe me you have no idea! It's like everypony expects you to be somepony you know you're not, yet they think they have your whole life planned out for you.” She complains.
Illusion stays silent, listening for a few more minutes before putting his input. “I mean I'm supposed to be crowned in two years…. No less.” She rambles.
“Aren't you supposed to do some “princess worthy” task before getting crowned?” Illusion asks.
“.... That's what I thought as well.” Harmonia mutters, her eyes downcast looking at the small stream.
“Hey if it makes you feel any better, I believe my sister is jealous of you. But don’t tell her I told you that.” Illusion winks.
“But why? I’m a draconequus and she’s a regular unicorn. She should be happy with the life that she has and that she’s normal for a change.” Harmonia mutters that last bit to herself, but Illusion still overheard.
“Hey! You are anything but a regular old draconequus.” Illusion winks at her.
Illusion rubs Harmonia's back, giving her a hug. “Come on, let's go back inside. I think the arguing of both our mothers' seizes for the night.” Illusion said.
Both of them smile at each other and they both head back inside for the rest of the dinner.
***
Starlight quietly sat down at the table, looking at her now cold pie as Discord and Blueblood were calming down their wives. Tempest sat down next to Starlight, taking a bite from the cake she had.
“Well, tonight was a total bust!” Starlight complains, taking a big slice onto her fork and eating it.
“You’re telling me! You girls couldn't last for two hours? Could you?” Tempest asks, her tone blunt.
Neither of them spoke.
Tempest mutters. “I knew this dinner would end in disaster. I couldn't sense so much tension in the room it was like cutting it with a knife.” She whispers to Starlight.
“You're telling me-” Starlight mutters back.
The door to the kitchen swings open to reveal Illusion and Harmonia. “And where have you two been exactly?” Tempest asks, her tone slightly amused.
“We just needed to get some fresh air, that's all.” Illusion said, his tone relaxed.
“Well okay then. Your mother's have finally calmed down! It’s such a bummer that no pony ate my pie! Hey, do you kids want to try it? I made it myself!” Starlight said, levitating two small plates of pie towards Harmonia and Illusion.
“.... No thank you, Miss. Glimmer.” Illusion said, politely turning down the pie. “Besides it's getting late and we really should be heading home.” Illusion looks to his family, Mystic was already asleep on the floor.
Starlight sighs. “Well if you insist, then I won't overstay your welcome.” She said, sitting her pie down on the table.
Starlight looked over at Twilight who was still quite uninterested in socializing for the remainder of the night. She sighs. “I will be more than happy to walk you all out.” Starlight said, looking at Trixie's family.
She leads them all down the dimly lit hallway of Twilight's castle. “So much for one normal night.” Illusion thought to himself.
Once they reached the door. Trixie stops behind them. “You all go on ahead. I will be there in a few.” Trixie said.
Illusion, Blueblood and Mystic all looked at Trixie for a moment, until they decided to exist the castle. The castle door closes with Blueblood's magical aura.
Starlight looks at Trixie slightly confused. “Trix? Is everything okay?” Starlight asks, slightly worried for her friend.
“First off, let Trixie start off by saying that: She is sorry about the dinner scene back there.” Trixie said, her tone was sincere.
“Oh it's fine, really. No need to worry about that.” Starlight said, brushing off Trixie's apology.
Trixie sighs. “.... Remember when you asked me if I was enjoying the high society life?” she asks.
Starlight nods. “Yeah? What about it?” She asks.
“To tell you the truth… Trixie isn't. She is always seen as somepony that has to live up to fit other ponies standards. One slip up and Trixie's family's reputation is down the drain. Trixie just feels so pressured and with Blueblood, it just makes it worse.” Trixie complains.
“Normally Twilight could relate to being in your hooves at the moment. But since you two are rarely on speaking terms at the moment. I can't have much say so in this.” Starlight explains.
“Of course you do! You can talk to Princess Twilight about letting Trixie and the kids move in. I mean she has a million rooms in the castle I'm sure she could spare a few rooms.” Trixie says.
Starlight bit her lip. “.... I'm not so sure Trix.” She said.
“Come on, Starlight. Please.” Trixie whimpers.
Starlight groans. “.... Fine I'll see what I can do.” She mutters.
Trixie gave a wide grin to Starlight. “Thank you, Starlight. You are the best!” She grins. She then hurries to leave the castle.
Starlight smiles into the darkened night as she watched her best friend walk home with her family. Starlight then shuts the door, turning in for the night. However, for some odd strange reason she couldn't help but feel like she was being watched, sure enough she was.
***
Celestia sits in her throne room, her mane looking a tad frazzled. “Ugh! I can’t do this anymore, I have to tell him.” She said. She brings a scroll and quill into her golden aura.
Her elegant handwriting flowing swiftly from the ink onto the parchment.
“Dear Discord,
“I should have told you this a LONG time ago, but…”
She paused for a moment, then decided to cross out what she was going to say. A look of concern etched onto her face.
“What’s the use?” She mutters to herself, she tosses the crumbled scroll to the side.
Celestia’s head and heart were within battle with herself, she sighs as she pulls out another parchment.
***
Luna’s night had befallen across the land of Equestria, ponies already snug in their beds after a long day of school or work, except one household was still wide awake at this hour.
Discord and Harmonia were sitting on their couch within the castle’s library, joy and laughter filled the room.
“There is no way that you saved all of Equestria from Queen Chrysalis, Daddy. Besides, Mommy always saves Equestria from certain doom.” Harmonia said.
Discord looks at his daughter with disbelief. “I happen to have saved Equestria once! Your mother just happened to be captured by Queen Chrysalis. So it was up to me to save everypony from certain doom.” Discord explains.
“You do realize your not the only one who saved Equestria, right?” Starlight asks, a playful look was displayed on her face.
“Besides, it was me who saved you all. You got captured as well, remember?” She said.
“Now, I am so confused.” Mutters Harmonia.
“Confused about what sweetie?” Twilight asks, bring in a tray of late night drinks.
“Mommy? Did Daddy really save Equestria from Queen Chrysalis or was it Aunt Starlight?” Harmonia asks.
Twilight looks at Discord. “Oh, so you tell her this tale?” Twilight said, her expression light hearted.
“Yes and she doesn’t believe me.” Discord huffs.
Twilight gave a small smile while rolling her eyes in a playful manner. “Actually sweetie, your aunt Starlight, Trixie, Thorax and your father all worked together to take down Chrysalis.” she explains.
“See I told you.” Discord mutters.
“Where were you at mommy?” Harmonia asks.
“I was captured along with your uncle Spike and your aunts.” Twilight said, explaining further more.
“Oh.” Harmonia said.
“Basically I saved you all. Your mom, dad, aunts and basically everypony was captured except me.” Starlight explains.
“What about Tempest?” Harmonia asks.
“She wasn’t there, because she was on vacation.” Starlight explains.
Tempest, who had walked in at the correct moment, spoke up. “Basically they couldn’t afford me.” She explains, her tone blunt.
“Oh! Hey Tempest, what are you doing awake at hour?” Twilight asks.
“Partoling as usual, your highness. But I actually got this from the mail?” Tempest said, her last sentence coming more like a confused question.
“Who delivers mail at eight o’clock at night?” Starlight wonders.
Tempest shrugs. “No clue, but it’s addressed to you, Discord.” Tempest said, handing the scroll over to him.
Discord looks at his wife, his eyebrows arched. “... Okay?” He said, he takes the scroll from Tempest, unscrolling the letter.
“From Celestia?” He thought. His eyes scanned the letter, his expression went from concerned to bewilderment.
“Is everything okay Dissy?” Twilight asks, snapping her husband out of his thoughts.
“Mhm, um.. I have to go.” Discord said, unsure of how to explain his reason for leaving at this sudden hour.
Starlight and Tempest gave each other a skeptical look.
“Apparently your teacher, Harmonia needs to have a talk about your behavior in school with me.” Discord said.
“But I thought that’s already been discussed?” Tempest questions.
“It has. Harmony what did you do this time?” Twilight wonders.
“I swear I did nothing.” Harmonia said, throwing her paws up in defense, her eyes clearly displaying innocents.
“And why does Celestia want to see you at this hour anyways?” Starlight questions.
“Does it look like I know.” Discord said, his tone unamused.
“Look I’ll be back in time for fuzzball to get her nightly storytime routine. It will just be real quick I promise.” Discord said, looking at Twilight.
Twilight sighs. “Alright.”
Discord snaps his claw, making himself vanish in a flash.
***
He appears in the Canterlot Castle of Princesses Celestia and Luna.
“Celestia, I came upon your request. Is there something you need to talk abou with me about Harmony?” Discord asks.
“Oh I am so glad you could make it!” Celestia said, her flowing mane looked frazzled and unkempt.
She kind of had the look of a psycho, like Twilight from Lesson Zero, but way worse.
“Uh, Tia are you okay?” Discord asks.
“I’m fine.” Celestia said.
“You don’t look fine. It looks like you committed a crime. Should I be concerned?” Discord wonders, slightly worried for his friend.
“I’ve just been doing a lot of thinking and you just won’t leave my mind. Why? Well I wish I knew.” Celestia mutters.
Discord looks at Celestia, not knowing how to respond.
“Remember that letter you sent me two weeks ago? You- you did a comma in between dearest and my name. Did you intend this?” Celestia asks.
“Tia, that may have been a mistake I-” Discord said, but his sentence stopped short when Celestia placed a light kiss on his cheek.
"It’s clear to see that I have overstayed my welcome.” Discord said, slowly backing towards the door.
"No! Wait!" Celestia called after Discord. She thought for a moment, before giving Discord a flirtatious grin.
"You know...I never did understand why you fell for somepony like...Twilight.” She said.
Discord turned around at Celestia's words. "What do you mean, Tia?" He asked slowly.
“I mean why fall for somepony like her when you deserve somepony so much better.... somepony of higher status.” Celestia said, her tone flirtatious and rather mysterious.
Discord was taken aback by Celestia's words. "Tia..." Discord said, trying to find a way out of this conversation. "Is this about what happened when we were kids? Or better yet the Grand Galloping Gala? Tia...I don't feel that way anymore..." he said, but his heart was thinking otherwise.
"So you admit you felt something for me? Maybe...something more?" Celestia said, her expression sly.
“Maybe then, but not now.” Discord said, his voice firm.
Celestia's glare darkened a tad. “What.”
"Look, Celestia." Discord said, his voice faltering from the glare Celestia gave him.
"You are a really pretty mare but...I'm afraid you were too late. Twilight has my heart now...and..." Discord tried to continue, but the look Celestia was giving him was shutting him up.
Celestia flares her wings at Discord, but puts them down by her side. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. “Fine. You win.” Her tone was creepily nonchalant.
Discord arched an eyebrow, but Celestia continued. “But just remember: You can always use a mare of higher status.” She smirks at him.
“I have to go.” Discord mutters to himself. He then shuts the door behind him, but pauses thinking to himself as he strokes his goat-tee.
