A Chaotic Hearts & Hooves Day

by Postwarmonkey50


A well-deserved romantic rest

True to his word, once everyone had gathered their things, Discord had teleported all of them to Ornithia. And to their delight, it was everything that the tourist trade had said as many creatures from different kingdoms had gone there for either vacations or just for special occasions like weddings and parties. Once the Mane 6 and Emily, along with their husbands, had placed their things at their suites, each of them had already planned their activities.

The next morning, everyone began to enjoy themselves at the beach near the resort whilst the harpies around them all had fun and a good time.

Twilight was reading a book whilst Beau rested his eyes as he enjoyed the sun. Applejack and Emily were playing volleyball with Bucky and Spike, a good old fashion male vs female situation, and the looser had to buy the winner a Sundae. Rarity was resting under the umbrella whilst she cuddled with her husband. Fluttershy was watching over the baby sea turtles to make sure that they were safe, with Genus helping her out. Rainbow and Bolt were busy surfing, with the two of them falling in the water and kissed one another. And finally, Pinkie Pie and Frosty were building the largest sandcastle they could muster, despite both of them pulling their own shenanigans.

‘I’m so happy all of you came up with this.’ Said Twilight in her impressed tone.

‘I’ll say.’ Said Beau ‘Too bad Discord kind of ruined the whole plan.’

‘Oh, Darling no need to fret about it.’ Said Rarity whilst she enjoyed her husband embracing her.

‘Yeah,’ said Rainbow as she and Bolt had just come back from their surfing ‘You guys didn’t know Discord would be involved. And we really appreciated what you guys do for us every day.’

‘I’ll say.’ Said Pinkie Pie as she and Frosty, after having their own sandcastle battle and Pinkie proclaiming herself as the queen of sandcastles, walked up to the others and said ‘Especially that time all of you defended us from everypony who was mean to us ever since that whole incident with the Friendship Journal.’

‘Although,’ said Fluttershy as she and Genus also came along after they helped make sure that the baby turtles were safe whilst they made their way towards the ocean ‘It was a little mean the way you did that.’

‘Not our proudest moment.’ Said Genus.

‘Well what choice did we have?’ said Bolt ‘Besides, those ponies got what they deserved after the way they treated you lot.’

‘And Emily did have a point,’ said Frosty ‘I mean tons of ponies suddenly thought that all of you were made up characters and thought that everything you did in that book was a fake, and suddenly Snips and Snails are the stupid ones?’

‘Hey!!’ shouted a pair of voices.

They all looked to their right and to their shock, it was none other than Snips and Snails.

‘What the…?’ said Applejack when she, Bucky, Emily and Spike arrived.

‘How the heck did you get here?!!’ shouted Emily.

‘What?’ said Snips ‘We wanted a vacation time too.’

‘And to answer your question,’ said Snails as he said in the most perviest tone ever ‘We snuck inside Mrs. Rarity and Applejack’s luggage underneath their underwear.’

Both Applejack and Rarity had extremely disturbed looks on their faces whilst their eyes twitched. Feeling angry and enraged, both Bucky and Silver walked towards both the two stooges and with great strength, they tossed the two dumb dumbs so hard, they flew all the way out of the horizon.

‘The nerve of those two.’ Said Bucky as he was a bit ticked.

When suddenly.

‘Wow, nice toss.’ Said a familiar voice.

They looked to their right and to their shock, they saw both Mystic and Trixie.

‘Trixie?!!’ exclaimed the Mane 6.

‘What are you doing here?!’ said Emily.

‘Well it may come as a surprise to you,’ said Trixie as she addressed the Mane 6 ‘The great and powerful Trixie and her beloved heard about this resort, so they asked us to perform here. And they were grateful enough to let us stay for free as long as we performed for them.’

‘And surprisingly they loved Nala’s act.’ Said Mystic ‘In fact, the folks around here adore her.’

‘She does have a point.’ Came another voice.

To their surprise, it was both Starlight and her husband Chance, both who were walking down to join up with Trixie and her husband, but all of them were also surprised to see the Mane 6, Emily and their husbands.

‘Starlight?’ said Twilight in a surprised tone as she sat up and removed her sunglasses ‘You and Chance are here too?’

‘Well Trixie was allowed to bring any friends of her choosing.’ Said Starlight ‘At first we were a little skeptical, but when we saw the resort, we just had to stay over for the weekend.’

‘And so far, it’s been great.’ Said Chance ‘We got to spend some more time together and have more fun.’

‘Spend more time together?’ said Spike ‘Did something happen?’

‘Let’s just say there are a ton of kids who constantly come over for advice.’ Said Chance ‘A ton of useless advice.’

Starlight groaned and said ‘Do you have any idea how annoying it is to hear problems that aren’t even major?! I’m a guidance counselor, not a baking counselor!’

Twilight slapped her forehead and said ‘I really need to make sure everyone gets the memo.’

‘It’s not like I haven’t told you like twelve times.’ Said Beau, which Twilight in turn glared at him, with Beau saying ‘Well don’t look at me like that. I told you tons of times that we needed to remind the students, but whenever I do, you go “Yeah, sure, I’ll get there”, in every single one of our conversations. Or do you want a repeat of what happened when Shining Armour and Cadance wanted us to look after Flurry Heart a while back?’

‘He’s not wrong.’ Said another voice.

Now they were surprised to see three certain faces. One on the left was Twilight’s brother, Shining Armour, the one in the middle, was Princess Cadance. And the one human in the right, was the human Blade.

‘You guys too?’ said Rainbow Dash surprised.

‘Well, duh.’ Said Blade ‘We are Royalty. And even Royalty deserves to take a break every once and a while from their royal duties.’

‘When Princess Celestia told us about this place, we made sure our schedules were cleared and we came straight here.’ Said Shining Armour.

‘And this place is amazing.’ Said Cadance ‘I can’t believe we’ve never been to the Harpy Kingdom before. It’s more amazing than anything I’ve ever seen here.’

‘Twilight?’ said another familiar voice.

Everyone looked and to their surprise, it was Sunset and her husband Ignis, both of them wearing their new swimsuits to enjoy their time at the beach.

‘Sunset’s here too?’ said Beau.

‘What are you two doing here?’ asked Twilight ‘Not that I’m complaining cause it’s always good to see you. But I thought you and Ignis were planning to visit your friends near Canterlot High this weekend.’

‘Oh, all of them had to reschedule for next week on our monthly get together.’ Said Ignis.

‘The girls were held up with a few things so they couldn’t make it.’ Said Sunset as she listed them down ‘Applejack is helping Braeburn at his farm at Van Hoover, Fluttershy is attending the Animal Sanctuary Reserve to see how the animals are doing, Pinkie Pie is stuck at work because of a baking rush over there, Rarity is attending Applewood for her latest fashion release, Twilight is at a science convention to help find an alternate source of energy, and Rainbow is currently busy attending a marathon to raise funds for the disabled.’

‘Wow, all of them must be busy.’ Said Rainbow, whilst also amazed by what her counterpart was doing.

‘Also,’ said Beau, gaining Sunset’s attention as he said ‘Are you still taking it under consideration?’

Sunset thought for a bit and said ‘Would it be okay if we talked about it back home? We’re here to have fun and all.’

‘Talk about what?’ asked Twilight.

‘See, a while ago after she got married, she didn’t have many job offers in Ponyville,’ said Beau ‘Even with the kind of job Ignis is doing, so I asked her if she’d like to become a teacher for the School of Friendship.’

‘Wait,’ said Twilight ‘You consulted her without me?’

Beau then rolled his eyes and said ‘Again, I tried to get your attention, but…’

Twilight groaned once more and said ‘I really gotta start paying attention to what’s going on.’

‘Well we have been trying for years.’ Said another voice.

Everyone looked at the one direction and saw someone they had not expected; Princess Celestia and her husband Platinum, along with Princess Luna and her husband Nebula.

‘Princess Celestia?!’ exclaimed the surprising ponies.

‘What are you doing here?’ said Ignis.

‘As Blade pointed out, we royalties also needed to take a break.’ Said Nebula.

‘Indeed,’ said Princess Luna ‘When we spent the entire Hearts and Hooves day together on a romantic evening, our husbands had arranged for us to come here.’

‘Though our wives still raise the sun and moon,’ said Platinum ‘They at least get to take a break from their royal duties.’

‘But who’s looking after the kids?’ asked Sunset.

‘Discord.’ Said the royal husbands, much to the others’ shock.

‘Our husbands are correct,’ said Princess Luna ‘We heard all the commotion in Ponyville, but we did not know what went on there.’

‘So Beau and the others told us what happened,’ said Princess Celestia ‘We issued a royal decree that Discord is to watch over our kids for the whole weekend or face a dire consequence that not even he could weasel his way out of.’

‘That’s right,’ said Platinum ‘We made doubly sure that Discord won’t be able to get out of the contract, otherwise the moment it’s broken, it’ll automatically give him three options as a form of punishment.’

‘Like what?’ asked Chance as he got intrigued by this, considering that the last time

‘There are three different punishments.’ Said Platinum ‘Option 1, banish him to the moon for a week.’

‘Option 2,’ said Princess Celestia ‘Turn him into stone for a week.’

‘And Option 3,’ said Princess Luna ‘Him going without his chaos power for a week.’

Fluttershy gasped and said in a worried tone ‘But won’t he disappear?’

‘Don’t’ worry,’ reassured Platinum ‘The spell’s casted on him to make sure he doesn’t disappear. Or go back to that Orderly fellow.’

‘Seriously,’ said Spike ‘Everyone smiling like they had just come out of the madhouse was really disturbing.’

Everyone shuddered at the thought, with Shining Armour saying ‘And Discord had agreed to it?’

‘He didn’t at first,’ said Platinum ‘He was really afraid when he saw something in the contract. Though I don’t know why though.’

‘Oh, I know.’

They looked at Nebula, who for some reason, had a devilish and devious smile on his face. The others were concerned by this.

‘Husband,’ said Princess Luna with a flexed eyebrow ‘What did you do?’

‘I may have added a fourth option in the contract when I was helping Luna covered the other half of the dreamscape.’ Said Nebula whilst bouncing his eyebrows.

‘Like what?’ said Bolt, until he teased ‘Is it chickens or moldy cheese?’

Both Princess Celestia and Luna glared at him, for they were really peeved that the lot with them knows what their fears are.

‘Nope,’ said Nebula as he tried to resist the urge to laugh ‘Something that he hates the most.’

‘Like what?’ asked Twilight.

Nebula then said ‘He has to go without his powers whilst wearing a frilly dress, a pink tutu, womanly make-up, a frilly wig, whilst also being forced to say every ten minutes “Hi bob”, for a week.’

Everyone stared at him with wide eyes at that statement. Then they instantly thought about it and got a mental image. Once they were able to picture it, they couldn’t resist the urge to laugh, and they all did. Even all of the royals began to laugh as they couldn’t believe that the fourth option was added that would make Discord want to choose to go without powers for a week.

‘Oh man,’ said Rainbow Dash whilst she wiped a tear from her eye once they were done laughing ‘Now I so wish I had a picture of that.’

‘Still,’ said Genus ‘I really hope Discord won’t cause any trouble for the kids.’

‘Oh, I’m sure that he’ll have his hands full to even think of causing any trouble.’ Said Fluttershy with a smirk.

********************************************************************************************************

At the same time, right at this moment. The children of the Mane 6 were watching with amusement with their own fruit punches, with Ocellus, Smolder, the Cake Twins and the rest of the young six in tow, whilst they watched Flurry Heart, Raging Halbert, the Glimmer Triplets, Searing Shimmer, Dark Void, Sun Gleam and Bright Day, dancing around Discord as he had him tied up, as if they were hunters that caught their pray to ensure that he doesn’t escape. Whilst the not so pleased Discord couldn’t move, for he had no magic when he was forced to take the third option of the contract, and that was being without powers for a week to make sure he didn’t cause any trouble.

He then grumbled ‘I should’ve taken the moon banishment.’

********************************************************************************************

Later that night, everyone was gathered near a balcony whilst they were eating at a restaurant, with a perfect view of the ocean. There were laughter, there were cheers, and there were happiness all around. They looked at the time and realized that it was almost time. They stood at the edge of the balcony when they wanted to make sure that they had a complete view of what was happening.

Soon enough, the fireworks went off, and everyone watched in awe and amazement of the fireworks going off. Beau suddenly felt Twilight’s hand, gaining his attention.

‘Are you okay Beau?’ asked Twilight.

‘I am.’ Said Beau ‘I just wished that the plans we made had come through instead of becoming a disaster.’

‘Hey, it’s okay.’ Reassured Twilight ‘It may not have worked the way you planned, but it still went well in the end.’

‘I know.’

‘Besides,’ said Twilight as she held him close ‘As long as we have each other, we’ll always have a great time.’

‘Agreed.’ Said Beau whilst he wrapped his arm around his wife and pulled her close. ‘I know it’s overdue but…happy Hearts and Hooves day Twilight.’

‘Happy Hearts and Hooves day Beau.’ Said Twilight whilst nuzzling against him.

It may not have gone as planned, but one thing’s for sure, no matter what might come their way, they will always have one another.

Best Hearts and Hooves day ever.
