Chrysalis didn't listen to Discord, and was made a statue in a terribly awkward pose.
As the Princess landed, the first pony she went to was Discord.
She smiled and said, 'Discord, my best friend since I was just a filly, you have saved my life and my kingdom.'
Luna coughed, but nopony listened.
'I have to do something back for you,' she continued. 'Oh, Discord, how would you like it to... you know, come to Canterlot, how about a hi tea together one day?'
Discord blushed, as far as you could see that under his fur, but kept looking in the wonderful, bright eyes of the Princess he loved. He took a breath to calm himself down.
'No,' he said.
'I don't... why did you reject her?' Pinkie Pie asked.
Discord shrugged. 'She's too old for me, I guess,' he said.
The pink pony squinted. 'How many years is between you, then?' she asked.
Discord counted on his fingers. 'About one and a half thousand,' he said. 'I... I started my life far after she was born.'
Twilight approached them, a book magically levitating behind her. 'Discord!' she yelled.
As she reached the two, puffing from tthe long run, she said, 'Why did you leave so soon?'
Discord had left the fields right after he rejected a certain alicorn, with Pinkie Pie and Cloud on his back, being followed by Heart and Haywing. The rest of the ponies went by train.
The draconequus shrugged again and said, 'Why wouldn't I? I had nothing to stay for.'
'This!' Twi replied, and the book fell on the ground in front of them. 'The Princesses gave it to me right after you left.'
The book was the book they were looking for. Inside the book, all Discord's mysteries were revealed and free to read.
Discord looked at the book for a moment.
'Nah, thanks,' he said. 'I wish to spend my days here in Ponyville, together with Pinkie Pie and her amazing friends.'
Pinkie squee'd and embraced Discord's left hind leg.
The draconequus stroke her mane carefully, so his nails wouldn't get stuck in her curls. 'I am sorry, Twilight. Not only for rejecting the Princess ánd the book, but also for all the things I've caused after I broke free.'
'You must be very brave to apologize,' Twilight replied.
Pinkie smiled. 'Doesn't matter, had chocolate rain.'
Discord turned to Pinkie. 'My ponyfriend, the first to see I had another side - even before I saw it - would you mind if I'd stay your friend forever?'
The pony opened her mouth widely. 'FOR EVEEEEEEER!'
Twilight Sparkle sat alone in the throne room at Canterlot. She was waiting for the princess to come by, who was just getting some tea.
As she walked through the doors, her fur whiter, her mane wavier, Twilight snapped out of her thoughts.
'What were you thinking?' Celestia asked, and put the tray with tea and cookies down on the tiny table.
Twilight hesitated, but then said, 'Aren't you mad Discord eventually rejected you, your highness?'
The Princess smiled. 'Love isn't a thing you can force, Twilight Sparkle. Neither is friendship. I knew I could never love him the way he loved me.'
'Do you think I have forced my friendship with Discord?' the purple unicorn asked then.
Celestia shook her head. 'After you stood up for him so bravely? I am certain you don't force any friendships, Twilight. You're too smart for that.'
Twilight silently took a sip of her tea.
'Thank you so much, Pinkie Pie,' the draconequus said. 'And all of you, thank you.'
Not only the Mane Six sat around the fireplace in Discord's new house - a cozy cave not far from Ponyville, where Discord could do all the random stuff he'd want -, two Pegasi and a unicorn had joined them.
'You're welcome,' Pinkie said, and Rarity poured Discord some more tea.
He smiled. 'Because of you, I know the matter of friendship,' he said. 'And that's the greatest gift somepony ever gave me.'
