Chapter 1

So comes the end of another glorious day in Equestria. The sun was near setting and all the happy ponies were preparing to end their day.

This sadly did not change one very important fact. Discord was bored. The end of the day just made it that much worse for the draconequus, due to the reduced chaos it would bring.

From his lone cotton candy cloud in the sky, the lizard pondered on what to do. The sight of the sun falling, bringing one of his favourite ponies to mind. “Wonder how old Sun butt is doing? She’ll be good for a laugh,” he mused to himself, before raising a talon into the air and snapping. This resulted in the usual pop, removing him from the skies of Ponyville and depositing him where ever the solar diarch was positioned.

That position, was none other than her desk, where she was tiredly working through a stack of paperwork. The sudden appearance of the mismatched creature and his accompanying, “Heeey Sunny! What’s new with day time?” did little to surprise the busy alicorn. 

The only reaction she had was to briefly flick her ears to attention, before letting them settle once again. A smile started to grace her tired features at the presence of her old friend. “Sorting out what is left of this paperwork. What brings you here my friend?”

A light laugh escaped the serpentine creature at the final word. Friendship with the pony ruler? Who knew a being like Discord could achieve such a thing? Pushing that thought aside, he floated a stack of paperwork away from his friend, before snapping a sponge cake into existence. “Can’t an old draconequus hang out with his friends now and then?” 

As expected, the sun appeared to brighten at the newly formed cake’s presence, before letting out a sound that dashed Discord’s hopes. A very respectful yawn. “I appreciate the sentiment, but I have to get as far through this as possible, before setting the sun. My sister will likely be up to the challenge of entertaining you,” she finished with a polite smile, as she cut a small slice of cake.

“You know why I can’t do that,” came Discord’s response as he spread his mismatched wings in exasperation. “It’ll be at least a week till I can be near her again after that decaffeinated coffee incident.”

With a heart-warming laugh, the alabaster mare said, “yes, you should never mess with Lulu’s pick me ups. Everypony knows that.”

“But it was your idea,” Discord blurted out in the hopes Celestia would see fit to help him with that little situation.

Instead of helping, Celestia only nodded and after sipping some tea said, “yes it was.”

The slightest grumble escaping the serpent, at his limited success. He set about messing with a yoyo as his one hope returned to her paperwork. “Are you really going to do that? Think of the chaotic adventures we could have.”

“Sorry Dissy. I could provide you with some tea perhaps?” she offered in recompense.

Finally getting the message that the alicorn wasn’t in a fit state for banter, Discord politely declined. “No thanks Sunny, I’ll just get out of your mane.” There had to be something else for him to play with, if not the sun. Maybe some more energetic company, but who’d be up for it at this hour, besides Loony?

Before the Sun could ask where he was going, Discord snapped his talons disappearing from view. Thus, leaving the sun alone. She spent a long moment looking at the spot he was once in, before sighing and returning to her work. “Wish he would have stayed for tea,” the pegacorn lamented, before letting her eyes get a little too heavy. 

The snap of Discord’s talons wasn’t just sudden for the tired alicorn, as the draconequus himself had no real destination in mind. All he was relying on was that his chaotic magic would bring him to whatever possible entertainment still existed. It did not disappoint, as his reappearance brought him to a place of much enjoyment. The home of one little miss purple smart.

He didn’t quite have chance to get his bearings, before a panicked scream rang out, accompanied by the sudden splash of hot liquid upon his face. A quick lick of his own face with an impossibly large tongue, saw to the removal of the deliciously sweet substance. After smacking his lips a few times, Discord regarded the small pony in the room. “Ah, Twilight, that wasn’t half bad.”

“My hot chocolate!” the purple alicorn complained, now holding a very empty cup, before looking up at the floating serpent with a sigh. “Why do you always have to pop in out of nowhere?”

“Because my dear little pony, that is what I… am,” Discord began saying, before losing his words at Twilight’s current appearance. 

When the young pony realized she was being stared at, her face started to rapidly tint towards a rosy colour. Normally this would be quite difficult to see on purple fur, but Discord saw it, bringing a wide grin to his face. The reason for both the embarrassment and Discord’s enjoyment was plain to all who possessed the gift of sight. It was her current attire. 

Placing the ruined beverage down on the table, Twilight started to blurt out, “I can explain. It’s perfectly reasonable at this hour.”

“Oh, do tell, I expect this to be great,” the draconequus sniggered, before snapping some of his favoured popcorn into existence to increase his viewing pleasure. What he was observing, was a purple alicorn wearing a full body onesie. Not just any onesie mind you, but one with the matching coat colour of one recently visited pegacorn. 

It had a white material that ran from Twilight’s chest, right to the ends of her legs, where her usual cute purple hooves were poking out of the bottom. Where there should have been purple wings, there was a warm looking cover of material, like a hoodie for wings. The piece de resistance, was the little yellow sun marking her rear end. The sight was almost enough to bring a tear to the eye.

After the usual amount of nervous stuttering Discord would have expected, the wannabe Sunny let out a long sigh, before steadily saying, “you’ve caught me in my new pyjamas, okay. I was getting ready for bed.”

That caused the bowl of popcorn to fall from the serpents grasp and hit the floor with an audible thump. “You’re kidding me, right?” He asked in almost disbelief. How could something so funny be kept out of his view?

Now over the initial shock, the alicorn said, “it’s quite late you know,” in a slightly more composed manner. Her blush had even begun to fade.

“You’re doing a disservice to ol Loony ya know,” Discord pressed in the hopes Twilight might choose to stay up a bit longer.

Alas poor Discord, as Twilight simply said, “I know, but it’s been a long day.” The tired bags under her eyes were plain for even the immortal ruler of chaos to see. Letting him know, there likely isn’t much steam left to keep her talking.

Deciding to pique his curiosity before leaving her in peace, he leaned forward to get a better look, before asking, “so come on, why those PJs?”

With a hint of her earlier embarrassment threatening to return, the young immortal quietly admitted, “well, it’s been a little cold recently and Rarity offered to make me one in any style, and well… I do like feeling close to the princess, soooo…”

The final words to the explanation had the draconequus intrigued. Do clothes like that really make people closer? Maybe, maybe not, but Discord liked the idea of trying. With the slightest scratch of his chin, he decided to make an inquiry. “Hmm, do you think she could make me one?” 

That was something that caught Twilight completely off guard, causing her mouth to fall open for a moment, before she shook her head in bewilderment. “Seriously? Aren’t you going to make fun of me?” 

Despite the usual MO of the serpent, he continued to look at her without a mocking stare. “Maybe later,” were the not quite reassuring words he uttered, before waiting for a response to his previous question.

After sighing at the non-committal response, the little alicorn answered the desired question. “Probably. She is your friend after all.”

“Ooo, excellent,” he beamed while rubbing his talon and paw together. “I know where I’m off to next. Toodles, and sorry about the mess.”

Those words caused Twilight’s eyes to widen in fear for a moment, similar to when her strange friend first appeared. “Wait! She’ll be asleep!”

Sadly, that came too little too late. As the word poof in a cloud symbolized the disappearance of the lizard. With a light scratch of her chin, the pegacorn remorsefully said, “Sorry Rarity,” before turning back to see her cup. It was now refilled with chocolate and the popcorn had all vanished.

This prompted her to smile and think about how funny it would be to see the larger-than-life character with a themed onesie of his own.

A second later, said larger-than-life character popped into existence within one carousel themed boutique. A very dark carousel boutique for one thing. “Helllooo, where is the little fashion pony?” Discord called out into the darkness, before lighting an old timey lantern for light. It was then his turn to let out a scream, due to the horrifying sight of ponyquins surrounding him. A surprise so great, that it caused the newly formed light to fall to the ground, creating many ominous shadows.

“Ah, you’d never expect Rarity to be a prankster,” the draconequus mused to himself, while floating through the unlit building. He’d have to get her back for the clearly intentional positioning of her fake ponies. For now though, he really hoped his apparently good friend would do him the honour of making a better onesie than Twilight’s. It’s only fair.

After a fruitless search through the clearly abandoned building, Discord let out a slight grumble, “how can nopony be available? I might as well still be a lawn ornament at this rate.” With a light sigh, the serpent continued his search for any signs of life. There was no way he could wait until morning for his own special suit, Twilight had really gotten him hyped up.

Eventually, the search did bare an unexpected fruit. That being the discovery of another onesie, this time of the navy pegacorn Luna. A grin started to form upon the serpents miss matched features, as he started to reach for it with a talon. At the last moment, he stopped himself with a paw and frowned. The thought of the work Rarity had put into the design staying his talon. Maybe those friendship lessons were working out after all? It was nothing to do with the fact the clothing was simultaneously too small and unfinished.

While very nice, it would not be suitable. It was then that Discord’s lantern caused a certain inconspicuous object to glint. Curiosity got the better of him and he reached down to pick it up. The object in question was a long golden zipper, clearly designed to go with the Luna PJs. The draconequus moved the zipper over to the onesie and debated on finishing it. It would be a nice thing to do after all. This zip was clearly designed to open the clothing in such a way that a pony could easily step in.

Rubbing his paw down the side of the suit, he again lamented the absence of the fashion pony. She could have come up with the perfect design, and Discord would have poofed it into existence right there and then. As payment, he could have helped her speed through more of her creations, while giving them a slight chaotic flare. Oh well, she’d probably prefer to make the clothes herself anyway.

With that in mind, Discord continued to eye the mundane zipper and a thought came to mind. Maybe he could make his own onesie! There was a pretty decent Luna one to copy after all. That being said, a Celestia one would be much more his speed. As Twilight said, themed PJs do make you feel closer to the pony they mimic. Then again, if he were to try and make one, where would he get the basic outline? It isn’t easy making something so specific with chaos magic.

As he continued to debate his options, the sun finally dipped behind the horizon to be replaced with that of the ghostly moon. That gave the cunning serpent a great idea. There was one place with a pretty decent base available.

Yet another snap, and yet another poof had Discord disappear once more, zipper in tow. So many teleports, so little time. This journey was different however, as it wasn’t to a new place, but a return journey back to the bedroom of his favourite pegacorn. Surely Sunny would be up for modelling for him?

With his appearance next to the alabaster mare’s desk, Discord declared, “hey Sun butt. Fancy doing some modelling?” His face fell after he took in the scene before him. The tea his friend had been drinking, had long since gone cold and the paperwork she’d been working on, had been stacked much higher. This however, was only a symptom of what caused the draconequus to be disappointed. The noble sun herself was not only unconscious, but she was haphazardly sprawled out across her desk, clearly half way through signing one last document.

“Has lowering the sun sapped you of what you had left?” Discord sympathetically asked, before giving the sun princess’s ear a light scratch. The only response he received, was said ear attempting to flick him away like an annoying fly.

Eyeing the earlier provided half-eaten slice of cake, the next course of action was obvious. Gently picking up the plate, he held it in front of the sun’s regal muzzle, before attempting to waft the smell into her waiting nostrils. After limited success in waking his friend, Discord let out a light chuckle, before whispering, “wow, you must be truly zonked if your famous desire for cake can’t rouse you.”

Seeing as she would be no help with devising a solution, the serpent decided to try and review her form for himself. That onesie could still be a thing. Casually looking over the collapsed pony, he couldn’t help noticing the smallest amount of drool leaking from between her lips. Most likely due to the cake that was within easy eating reach. Saying that, she probably would have difficulty leaning any further forward, seeing as her whole body was on the desk. Only her rear hooves were partially touching her chair. She must really have flopped when her magic ran out. No wonder her wings splayed out like they did. One of them was even so stretched out, it was touching the floor. Just goes to show how big an alicorn’s wingspan can be.

“Ah, the Sun only I know, how beautiful it would be if the world knew the real you,” Discord said mostly to himself, seeing as his friend was on another plane of existence right now. 

Sadly for the chimera, the review of her form didn’t really help with the creation of a onesie. It would take quite a lot of thought to make one that matched his dimensions. Doing so would be too orderly. All he really had was a golden zipper with no idea what materials to attach it to. Flipping the thin metallic object over between his claws, Discord came up with another idea, a shot in the dark that would likely prove chaotic enough to be easy.

Snapping his claw one final time, he caused the golden zipper to sparkle with a magical glow. The magical glow of a newly formed magical artifact. He eyed the sleeping mare for a moment and said, “you’d probably kick yourself if you figured out I could make stuff like this.”

His smile faltered for a moment, as he debated upon whether or not his idea made sense. It was the easiest way to make a realistic onesie, but maybe his friend would disagree. Thinking back to what Twilight told him was the deciding factor in his decision. “Twilight did say onesies make ponies feel closer together. This one will probably work better than any previous,” he enthusiastically said, before floating around behind Celestia’s desk.

Once behind, he angled the zip, before placing it carefully along the back of his friend. Starting from the top of her neck, passing between her wings and stretching right to the base of her tail. It took only a second for the magic to take effect, causing the golden zipper to steadily sink into his blissfully ignorant friend’s back, until it looked as if it had always been there. 

The sound of smacking lips, caused Discord to freeze with fear, but after making the small sound, the Sun continued her beauty sleep. She was clearly unaffected by her new adornment, or rather more likely, was just so exhausted it would take much more annoyance to rouse her.

Seeing the first feature of his magical artifact work like a charm, the serpent griped onto the zip’s tab and gingerly pulled. As the zip made the journey down its track, it left behind it a steadily widening opening, starting at the alicorn’s shoulder blades and reaching its maximum width once it hit the base of the tail.

Once Sunny’s back was fully open, Discord moved around to the pegacorn’s side and experimentally pushed his talon through the opening, touching nothing inside. A little emboldened, he then moved to touch the inside of his friend’s torso. A smile met his lips at what he found, a fur lining. Now that would make for a toasty outfit. That would probably make her much better than Twilight’s. He’d have to show off when he got the chance.

Glancing around to the alicorn’s face, a warm smile had steadily formed. Likely due to the affectionate stroke she’d just received. Maybe she would enjoy what was about to happen as well?

Now then, what would be the best way to go about donning such a luxurious item? It couldn’t be that difficult seeing as not only did Twilight have one, but Rarity was clearly making more for some unnamed customers. Maybe the rest of the elements want one?

Seeing nothing else for it, Discord just shrugged to himself, floated directly over his new clothing and used his taloned claw and paw, to gently widen the opening further. Draconequuses are quite large creatures after all. Luckily, not quite as big as a fully grown pegacorn, but it’s pretty close.

With the opening as wide as it could go, the serpent floated his legs into the air before gently easing them down into the zip. As his mismatched limbs steadily disappeared behind the white fur, he had to reorientate himself so they lined up with two tighter openings further down. The entrances to the legs. 

Deciding to do this one at a time due to his form’s unevenness, he began with his dragon limb, seeing as it was the slightly more manoeuvrable of the two. Clenching his toes together, the part dragon began sliding his leg downward, still meeting no resistance, right up until it reached the very end where the limb was engulfed in a blissful amount of fluff. Outwardly, the only sign that anything had gone on, was the slightest jiggling of Sunny’s right rear leg, before the limb carefully extended and placed a dainty hoof flat on the floor for balance.

With the first limb being so easy, Discord felt a little emboldened and set about with the second. This time however, there was a minor issue. That being that his deer leg had a solid wide hoof at the end. A solid wide hoof that cannot make itself any smaller. Not considering this in the slightest, the part deer, pushed his cloven hoof downward, causing a large bulge to form in Celestia’s thigh, which slowly travelled until making an abrupt stop at the knee.

It appears, pony limbs really do narrow the further along you go. Despite the glaring design issue with his new suit, Discord was undeterred. Reaching for the joint with his paw, he began attempting to assist his limbs passage, while also continuing to push down with his hoof. This led to the first bit of real discomfort for his new adornment. 

With quite a noticeable growl, the sun began trying to shake the offending limb in question. She was quite desperate to dislodge whatever annoying fly was landing upon her. This action inadvertently assisted her good friend in his objective, letting his cloven hoof finally pass through the joint and make its way to the end, just like his claw. “Thanks Sunny,” Discord said while patting Celestia’s side.

In response to the thanking, the graceful pegacorn smiled once more. Or maybe it could have been because the fly’s relentless attack upon her limb had stopped. This let her relax the shaking and let Discord calmly place her other rear hoof upon the carpeted floor, joining the first one.

After flexing the ends of his appendages slightly to test if the hooves fit, Discord giggled slightly to himself. “They might be a little tight, but these are some comfy slippers.”

With the feminine hooves comfortably in place, the draconequus reached down and gripped the pegacorns rear, before pulling it upwards. The image had the clear parallel to that of pulling on a slightly well-padded pair of trousers. Once raised, Celestia’s front half was clearly that of a passed out pegacorn bent haphazardly over a table. While her rear legs, from the way they were stood to attention and casually shifting here rear’s weight, looked positively awake. 

That was of course, if you ignored the overgrown serpent sticking out the top. From the awkward angle the torso was splayed, the pony legs looked to be more naturally attached to Discord’s mismatched form than Celestia’s. They even clearly moved at his command, when he balance upon the left and lifted the right to his paw.

“Hmm, shame my claws are a bit big,” Discord mused to himself as he rubbed his paw over a couple obvious bumps in the pristine hoof. Ones that matched the exact positions of his draconic toes. As he let it clop back onto the floor, he observed how his left cloven hoof had slightly increased the size of Sunny’s other still dainty appendage. Unicorns are meant to have cloven hooves anyway, right?

With a slight shake of his head and a couple of light clops of his borrowed hooves, Discord heartily said, “Ah, it doesn’t matter. Sunny’s still looking good.” 

He then made the first of likely many future mistakes and slapped his trousers right on the cutiemark. His pupils narrowed at the instant realization, but it was too late. The disturbed pegacorn reacted like any horse would under such an assault. She instinctively violently bucked her donned legs. This in turn threw the surprised draconequus forward, slamming him into the desk next to her head.

“Sorry, I deserved that,” came a pained grown from the chastised serpent, as he stared at the slightly grumpier looking, but still sleeping pony’s face. The issues were not at an end there, for the alabaster alicorn had realized her current sleeping position wasn’t the best. Thus, she attempted to tuck her rear legs in, likely in an attempt to curl up. Her action caused her legs to bend under the table and would have had her limbs return to their previous state had it not been for the desperate resistance of Discord. He really didn’t want to trip and bash his head off the chair as well. It might not survive the assault.

The cessation of the sun’s attempts to get comfortable, were accompanied by another quiet complaint, signalling some relief for Discord’s now equine limbs, thus allowing them to stand up once more. Letting out a quick breath, he let himself admit, “it’s harder to put a onesie on than I thought. Maybe asking Twi would have been a good idea? Ah, too late now.”

Grabbing his serpentine tail, he began feeding it into the suits rear. Guided by the ethereal hair, the appendage moved through with no complaint from his host. It did however have a rather drastic affect upon her tail’s styling, making it appear tightly wound together, ending with a very tell-tale tuft of rainbow fur. Swishing the usually wavy appendage back and forth a few times, did cause it to fluff back up, but the limb could still move in a prehensile manner and even pick things up. An ability that a regular pony tail, such as one royal pegacorn’s, could never normally do. “Nobody ever remembers the tail warmer. Good job Sunny thinks of everything,” Discord joked as he began leaning forward.

Placing his forelimbs either side of his charge, he swished the tail one more time, jostling Sunny’s sleeping form. From the way she was precariously splayed out, this was easily enough to cause her to roll onto her heavy side. Right on top of some of her paperwork and more importantly, right on top of a certain lion paw. 

To make matters worse, the slightly trapped Discord may have let out a small cry, seeming to somehow alert the sleeping mare he was laying on top of. Her forehooves sensing his presence, greedily reached out and gripped his waiting talon before pulling it to her chest. A warm, “Dissy,” escaped her happily smiling lips at the brand-new teddy bear.

In response to her clearly impatient call, Discord uttered, “don’t worry, I’m almost done. You just gotta let go, it isn’t helping.” 

Seeing how the lovable pony was steadfast in her sleep, she was likely to remain a hinderance until she awoke. This left the lizard with a bit of a conundrum; all of his useful limbs were trapped. Well, if you didn’t count the two wings, his two rear hooves or his extra-long wavy tail.

Looking back towards his newly acquired Rainbow, Discord attempted to shrug, before having it slither all the way around to Celestia’s front, kind of like a snake with a mind of its own. When it reached its target, the precious hooves which were lovingly embracing his talon, it began tickling their tips. An action which the draconequus was very familiar with, from previous days of trying to distract his friend at many a boring meeting.

As the light tickling persisted, a light giggle escaped the peacefully sleeping mare, while she steadily fidgeted. “Come on, that’s a good pony. Let go,” Discord encouraged, as she started to wobble slightly. It seemed inevitable that her grasp would faulter, seeing as she was being attacked by the devastatingly ticklish weapon that was her very own tail. With almost no ceremony, Sunny raised a hoof and gently wafted at the offending fur, giving herself immediate relief from the onslaught. That being due to a certain griffon talon being set free.

Taking a moment to take stock of his situation, Discord clenched his talon a couple of times, before looking over to his trapped paw. “Welp, that shouldn’t be an issue in a second.” Rather than attempt to shift the large mare off his forepaw himself, he instead had the much better idea to use the foreleg of the mare in question. 

Carefully, he began pushing his eagle claw into the zipper, making his way to the opening of the left forelimb. Pushing it steadily inside the limb, like that of a jumper, Celestia’s foreleg went from bent comfortably close to her body, to slowly stretching in front of herself. Suddenly, it appeared like Sunny was actually waking up, from the way her left forehoof began pushing on the table, lifting her torso up. Her right foreleg still laying limply against the desk.

With the lion paw now free, it took very little effort for the part cat piece to join the majority of the chimera inside. Once snuggly fitted into the last remaining hoof turned slipper, Discord took a step back and planted his now slightly wider rear upon the waiting chair, before taking a victorious lean back. “Ah, finally, nice and warm,” the draconequus sighed, before feeling an odd pressure on the chairs back. A slight flap from his sides reminded him of a couple extra appendage he’d forgotten about. “Oh, silly me, this suit’s built for an alicorn,” he joked to himself, while observing the loosely hanging feathery appendages. The poor things were almost squashed.

Using his new, polished fore hooves, it was foal’s play to push his own mismatched wings into the zipper. One at a time, inserting his bat wing and then his pegasus wing, Discord had managed to almost fully don his new outfit. Granted, his wings were a little small, so it was difficult to get any real purchase on Celestia’s own magnificent set, but with the appropriate amount of coaxing, he managed to get the sleepy Sun to fold her wings of her own volition.

Now with his toasty wing warmers in place, Discord stretched out his new limbs, resulting in a number of small cricks from his back. An audible content sigh escaped the pegacorn’s head almost simultaneously, to which the draconequus gave her an affection scratch with her own hoof.

The next thing that happened from an observer’s point of view would have been quite astounding. After stretching her back, our almighty sun princess stood up from the chair and perfectly balanced upon her rear legs. Now because of how brilliant the sun is, this may not be that surprising, but one thing she is, like all ponies, is a quadruped. Seeing her stand up and casually saunter over towards her dresser, as if she’d been a biped her entire life, would surprise even the greatest of Celestia’s followers. It would be markedly less impressive if you took into account her dangling, comatose head with Discord’s own protruding from behind her neck. It would rather more likely be something of many a pony’s nightmare.

Ignoring this fact, Discord continued over to the mirror, the desire to view his new appearance burning strong. Once on view, the serpent smiled at his new radiant visage and performed a little twirl, gaining him the briefest glimpse of the still open zipper. “So Sunny, what do you think, do I wear your fur better than you?” the draconequus asked, while looking at the mare’s peacefully closed eyes.

As was to be expected of someone in her state, Celestia did not respond. This prompted a light sigh from the mostly alicorn Discord. “Shame, kinda wish you’d been awake for this. You might have found it quite amusing.”

Shaking the disappointment from his mind, the lizard looked back down at the zipper, causing his lips to curl back into a mischievous grin. “Welp, time to don the hood,” he called out, before gently lifting the sleeping mares head with her own hooves. The idle thought that it was more of a mask than a hood, permeating his skull.

Upon attempting to pull her head over his own, he found the mare’s long slender neck made the transition fairly easy. So easy in fact, that his head quickly disappeared from view, before almost immediately reappearing, when the end of his muzzle stuck out of Celestia’s horsy mouth. A muffled sound escaped past the lips pressed to either side of Discord’s nose. At least her mouth was big enough for his head. It would have to be for the amount of cake she normally shovelled into it.

The quick application of a hoof to his muzzle, had his face completely obscured from view, allowing the Sun’s mouth to close, while simultaneously dropping the draconequus into darkness. With his world now obscured, Discord left the Princess’s form standing idly, while he pondered on how to sort his situation. Most masks weren’t as complicated as this one.

With a light shrug of his swan like wings, the serpent pressed his newfound hooves once more to his now feminine face, trying to better fit it to his real one. What he found, was that he could slot his lower and upper jaw into the upper and lower sections of the mask, allowing him to open and close a certain mouth. Doing the same thing with his eyes was a little more awkward, seeing as eyelids lack that range of motion, but Discord being a draconequus, he knew how to contort his form in a variety of ways.

Success was obvious, as the dull light from the outside world invaded his now extremely heavy eyes revealing his newly transformed appearance. Before him stood not the creature of chaos Discord, but the usually elegant and order bound princess of the Sun. Her face now bearing a very familiar mischievous grin. The happy look she possessed seemed to increase as the intruder within admired it. She appeared to be so happy, so happy because of him. The only thing that was really amiss was the eyes. Each slightly blood shot due to their owner being truly asleep, but with the added effect of a slightly yellowish tint.

“Wow, beat that Twilight,” Discord joked, before letting out a feminine gasp. “Wow, I even sound like her. Now that’s a good onesie.”

A thoughtful look then crossed Celestia’s face as her head looked around the room, before glancing back into her reflection’s eyes, a slightly lidded quality to them. “Oh Discord, fancy going on a date to some chaotic land?” Celestia’s voice asked herself warmly.

Turning her head to the side, she then upbeatly said, “would I ever.” A loud chuckle escaped her lips at the preposterousness of the alicorn’s words. “If only,” she finished, before glancing around to her still open back. Discord’s brown fur still visible, contrasting with the pristine alabaster of the princess’s. “Better close you up. Wouldn’t want any bugs getting in here.” A sigh then escaped at the continued pleasant sound of his favourite pony’s voice.

The musical tone of the borrowed voice was rudely interrupted by a loud snore from within his own throat, surprising the draconequus mid zip. “Oh yeah, probably should get you to bed,” he said after remembering how tired his friend was. Once the magical zipper was sealed, Discord brought the princess back to all fours and made his way to the comfortable waiting bed. The princess’s gait started out similar to that of a small foal’s, before her wearer relearned the basics of being a quadruped. Due to his very nature, it barely took ten hoof steps for the walk to become that of a confident pony, easily allowing him to carry the princess with her usual level of confidence. Well, it wasn’t quite a royal walk, but it was passable for a regular pony.

Once reached, the princess eagerly pulled back the covers on the gilded bed and made her way beneath. As Discord got her into a comfortably curled up state, he turned her eyes towards the rooms clock. 2am, to Discord’s knowledge, that would give him a good six hours to make himself scarce.

That thought brought a smile to Celestia’s face, as Discord let her eyes close of their own accord. He’d be gone in the morning and she’d be none the wiser. “Good night Sunny. I hope you sleep well, I know I will,” the pegacorn said to herself, before an audible snap echoed from her hoof, plunging the room into darkness.
