The librarians and the cat of life

by Dragon Shimmer


Discord problem

The main 6 is starting to use Elements of Harmony to release the draconequus from the stone prison. The stone feature is fading from Discord's body as he starts moving. When the stone is completely gone, Discord flies up the sky crazily as the main 6 and Spike just look at each other.

"Well... I am figuring out the gift for Sunset," Spike waves to the main 6, "have fun dealing with this crazy draconequus." When the purple dragon is going out, Discord appears in front of him. Spike sighs, "What do you want, Discord?"

"Why ... little dragon," Discord flies back to the main 6, "I just want to ask you why are you releasing me? Am I worthy to be released?" 

"Just Princess Celestia offers to release you," explains Twilight, "You are on our watch and you have to learn friendship"

"Oh... I am waiting for your lesson, Twilight," Discord snaps his claw to make the teacup. The main 6 is surprised as Discord smiles, "What? You are watching me, including Celestia, and you say you will show friendship to me. I'm waiting."

"Right..." Twilight turns to her friends as the main 6 just come together and start whispering something. Spike just sits down to see what the mares are going to do. After a while, Twilight turns to Discord and explains, "You will go to our house to learn."

"Oh, this will be fun," Discord flies around Twilight, "So, what will we do first?"

Twilight points at herself, "my library." Spike runs to the purple unicorn and shakes his head. Twilight smacks his back and says, "It will be fine."


Sunset is writing a book about her research. Training with Amelia is tough when the cat will smack her down and build her up until the white cat doesn't hear any whining. Sunset is taking back her research to her room as she doesn't know what to write right now. A knock on the door interrupts the orange dragon. Sunset opens the door and sees the purple duo with the draconequus are standing before the door. 

Sunset takes her staff out to fight Discord. The purple duo is stopping her as Twilight talks, "He is good. He is good... for now,"

Sunset puts her staff back and sighs. The draconequus grins, "Oh, I thought your dragoness friend is so nice to me,"

"I will be nice for everyone," The orange dragon turns away, "Not with the one who likes to show bad memory,"

Discord rubs his chin, "Oh, you mean..." but a book is hit into his face as the purple duo grasps. Discord takes the book and sees the title is 'How to make a friend'. Discord looks at her, "Fine."

"I will go upstairs to find something," Sunset sighs in frustration, "See you soon," then the orange dragon goes upstairs

The purple duo looks at each other as they see Sunset is weird today. Looking at Discord, Spike asks, "Did you hurt her when you battled with her?"

"I don't know," Discord rubs his chin, "but I admit that she can take me down, without anything." The purple duo tilts his head. Discord points at Twilight, "Anyway, what do you normally do?"

"Well..." Spike rubs his chin, "Reading books, doing Celestia's work, or ... being tortured by Sunset."

"Hey," Twilight glares at him, "You hit me too hard many times you know."

"At least I hit not hard like Sunset," Spike coughs, "Anyway, we need to take Discord inside the library," 

"Honestly, after knowing what you are doing in your free time, I lost interest." Discord yawns, "It's just like I see a married couple."

"This is the second time we get that," Spike folds his claw, "Why everypony think of us like that?"

"Don't know," Discord flies near the purple unicorn, "Anyway, how about taking me to any place?"

"Oh," Twilight rubs her head, "How about we go to Rarity's place? I bet she is not busy right now?" Discord follows the purple duo to the boutique. 


Snow Storm is putting her armor back into her wardrobe with a humming tone. When the kirin closes the door and turns away, she sees a blue pegasus standing before her.

The white kirin asks, "Yes? Did I do something wrong?"

"No... eh somepony wants to meet you," Swift Blue steps aside and sees Coral is glaring at the kirin. Swift Blue sighs, "Have fun dealing with this captain," then he goes away.

Coral glares at her while the kirin just looks at her with a curious look. Coral asks, "Why didn't you visit me?"

"Because you can't die like this, you know." Snow Storm pushes Coral away, "Now, I have to go to the guild. See ya."

"Wait," The earth pony pulls the kirin back, "Can I join too?"

"Sure," Snow Storm looks at her, "But you have to pass the interview first."

Coral nods and she follows the white kirin to the guild. When she walks there, she sees the guild now has its own symbol. There are many creature claws, hands, and hooves that are shaking with each other. Coral feels admiration for this symbol and walks into the door.

When the captain comes inside, Feather is sitting at the table. Looking around, there is no other guild member inside. "Sit down," The griffin smiles as Coral sits down beside the griffin. Feather asks her, "So, what are you doing here?"

"I come here to join the guild," Coral smiles, "I want to see if I can do it in my free time."

Feather nods, "I see," then she points at other chairs, "Please sit there," Coral and Feather go there and sit down. The griffin starts to ask, "So... why are you joining this guild?"

Coral smiles and answers, "Because I want to have some money for free time," suddenly, she feels some electricity go through her body. Coral jumps down the chair and analyzes it, "Did you put some prank on me?"

"No," Feather smiles, "I want you to answer honestly. Why are you joining this guild?"

"As I said, I want some money for my free time," Coral is electrified as the orange pony grunt, "Fine, I'm here to have some journey to go outside the work." Coral sighs, "I mean, my work is following me when I have a trip so I come here."

Feather tilts her head, "You can do that right now, right?" Coral looks away as Feather continues, "I guess you want purposes for these journeys."

"You got me," Coral laughs, then looks at Snow Storm who is looking at the wooden board. The pony sighs, "And who knows this newbie will go too hard."

"I see," Feather takes out the paper, "Here is some paper. Fill it in and you will start at the lowest rank."

Coral takes the paper, "Oh, can I have a question?" Feather puts the cup of tea and nods. Coral starts filling the paper and asks, "So, does this guild have a lot of members?"

"For a guild that I just found in about... two weeks," Feather waves her claws, "What do you think? Crowdy."

"No. Just curious," then the captain is giving back to Feather, "There you are."

"Thanks," Feather sighs, "From now, you will be a member of this guild. Whatever you are a royal or a component, you will treat like same as others."

"I got it," Coral points at the wooden board, "So, can I get the mission now?"

"You can," Feather stands up and walks to the second floor, "I will take this,"

Coral walks to the wooden board and takes a look at it. She sees many quests are just simple ones like taking care of babies or cutting the grass. Coral is not sure which one she should pick. Snow Storm comes to her and asks, "Surprised by these quests?"

"Not much," Coral shakes her head, "I don't expect much from this new guild."

"Well, how about taking care of babies for a day?" Snow Storm points at the paper with the reward 100 bits, "I think they need some help."

"Meh, those are just babies," Coral picks up the paper, "I will get it."

Snow Storm rolls her eyes, "You will regret this," Coral gives the kirin a smirk and goes out of the guild.


The purple duo has led the draconequus to other friends but Discord messed them all up. When he went to Rarity's boutique, he messed with the clothes because the white unicorn had to kick him out. Going to Sugarcube Corner, he used his spell to change the favor of the cake, because Pinkie Pie glared at him and asked him to go out. When they came to Rainbow Dash's cloud house, he changed the cloud into pink and poured the chocolate into the blue pegasus's head, causing her to fly away.

Now, the purple duo is leading Discord to Fluttershy's cottage as they are hopeless now. Discord flies around them and asks, "So, where are we heading?"

"To Fluttershy's cottage," answers Twilight as she sighs, "I just hope you will get along with her."

"I am waiting," The draconequus is floating beside the purple duo while sipping the tea, "I hope that she is the one who I can get along with,"

"I hope so,"

 Spike sighs as he with Twilight heads to the cottage. When they have arrived, the purple dragon sees a fluffy white cat that has red eyes flying there. When the white cat sees the purple duo, it waves its paw and says, "Hey, Twilight, Spike, you are heading to the cottage, right?"

"Yes," Twilight turns to the white cat and sees that the cat is very different from the one who lived in the library. Feeling weird, the purple unicorn asks, "Is that you, Amelia?"

"Why yes, it's me." Amelia smiles, "Interesting?"

"You are cuter than before, not having the blue aura that shines like a light bulb," Spike rolls his eyes, "Anyway, you are going back to the library?"

"Yes," Amelia nods and looks at Discord, "Who is this? He looks like someone who doesn't have any permanent shape."

"Ho ho ho," Discord laughs and coughs, "And you look like a cute cat,"

"Thanks," Amelia folds her paws, "At least I have someone who loves me, not like you, Slacker of Chaos," Discord is silent for that sentence while Amelia turns to the purple duo, "Anyway, I have to go. See ya," then she flies to the library

Spike waves his claw, "See you again, Amelia," then he turns to Discord and sees the draconequus is weird. The purple dragon asks, "What's wrong, Discord?"

"Nothing," Discord shakes his head, "Nothing at all." 

When the trio has arrived at the cottage, Fluttershy is collecting the cats to put them in the box to carry them away. When she sees the draconequus, she waves her front hoof and smiles, "Oh Twilight, Spike, Discord, what are you doing here?

Twilight is surprised, "You don't scare him?" Fluttershy nods and smiles, then she flies near Discord without any sign of fear. The purple duo looks at each other and sighs. Twilight decides, "maybe I will leave you with Fluttershy, Discord."

"Maybe I can get along with her," Discord boops Twilight's nose as she jumps back. Discord laughs, "Aww, look at this unicorn, I can see your fear."

"Not funny," Twilight turns to Spike and drags him, "See you later," then they walk away. The purple dragon doesn't know what the purple unicorn is doing. Suddenly, Twilight drags the purple dragon to the bush and watches Fluttershy and Discord. Spike is going to ask her but Twilight puts her hoof on his mouth, "We have to watch Discord if he does something wrong."

Spike rolls his eyes, "After what Discord did with our friends, maybe I will follow you this time." The purple unicorn smiles and they return to watch the draconequus.
