An Unlikely Couple

by Legacy55


The Wedding

Twilight awoke with the sun shining through her bedroom window, letting her now that the big day had finally arrived. She happily jumped out of bed and rushed downstairs to find her assistant putting away a few stray books.

It had taken Twilight and Spike a full day to get the library back in its old state, and the large red lettering from her dip into insanity was still partially visible on the wall. They had sorted all the books and got the place back in working order; Twilight could still hardly believe the whole ordeal had happened.

Noticing the faded letters, she let out a weak smile. “I’m still really sorry about the mess Spike… I wasn’t acting normal…”

“Ha! You can say that again!” The dragon chuckled, jumping down from the library ladder. “But really, it’s fine. I’m sure that’ll come out eventually…”

Pushing the guilt from her mind, she jumped to another topic. “Can you believe it? Today’s finally the day; it felt like these past few days have dragged on forever!”

Spike shot her a playful glance. “Hey Twilight… Is it possible that you’re excited about the wedding?”

“E-excited? No, not at all!” She replied awkwardly. “I’m just a little interested… Yeah that’s it! I’ve never seen a royal wedding but I’m sure it’s quite a spectacle!”

“Yeah, I’m sure that’s the reason… Anyway, how about I make something for breakfast?”

“That’d be great!” Twilight took a seat at the table, and flipped open the book that had been sitting there. It was a rather large book, decorated with old engravings and covered in a thick layer of dust. “You know, there hasn’t been a royal wedding in a very, very long time! This book says that the last one happened before Princess Celestia and Princess Luna…”

“Wow! It’s probably going to be massive then! I wonder what they’ll have to eat? Probably something amazing…” His mouth watered as his mind began to wander to delicious sweets. He was so distracted that he didn’t even realize he had poured half of the waffle batter onto the pan. “Uh, whoops…”

Twilight shook her head at him. She rose from her seat and began scavenging for what was left of the mess. “Pinkie Pie and the Cakes made most of the food. They spent all yesterday baking, remember?”

“Oh, yeah! I’m sure it’s going to be great, then!”

After having a delicious breakfast the two decided to finish the last of the chores around the library before heading off to Canterlot with their friends.

As Twilight finished dusting the top shelf, the front door was thrown open and a Pegasus swooped in. Her fast entrance sent several books flying from the shelves and piling onto the floor. Rainbow Dash let out a nervous laugh and scratched the back of her head. “Hehe, sorry Twilight…”

Grinding her teeth and fighting back the urge to yell at her friend, she smiled weakly. “It’s fine, really… I’ll just have to reorganize those… again…”

“Well, anyway... Are you pumped for the wedding?! Cause I sure am! It’s gonna be awesome!”

Twilight cocked an eyebrow at her as she went about picking up the books, “You aren’t the type to be excited for a wedding. You do know what a wedding is, right?”

“Of course I know what a wedding is! Sure, a lot of it’s gonna be boring talking, but the best part is the party afterwards! The Wonderbolts are supposed to be attending!” Rainbow Dash squealed, nearly fainting just mentioning them.

Twilight finished gathering the books and placed them all in a neat stack by a bookshelf, leaving the sorting to later. “Why are you so excited about the Wonderbolts? You’ve already met them several times, after all.”

“Well yeah, but I might be able to get them to sign my Best Young Flyers tiara! I know they already signed it before, but imagine how much more awesome it would be if they signed it twice!”

She giggled slightly to herself at her friend’s excitement. “I’m sure it’ll be great…”

There was a sudden white flash, and Discord swooped down from the ceiling with a speed only rivaled by the rainbow Pegasus. “Twilight! Rainbow Dash! A pleasure to see you girls!” He greeted as he landed in front of them.

His fast entrance sent a gust of wind through the library, and every book on the shelves fell onto the floor, completely covering the unicorn. “Discord… I just got this library cleaned… it took me ages…” She stated blankly, using all her self control to keep from snapping on the Draconequus.

“Oh, uh, hehe. Sorry?” He grinned, not being able to stop himself from letting out a chuckle.

Twilight pushed a book off her face and looked at him with and ice cold glare, “Fix it. Now.”

Genuinely scared, Discord quickly snapped his fingers and the books were sent flying back into their places. The fuming unicorn calmed down and took her eyes off of him. he let out a sigh of relief.

“So Discord, what brings you here?” Rainbow Dash said, eyeing him with caution. Their relationship was still rather flimsy, as it would take some time before she would treat the Draconequus as a friend.

“Ah! You say that as if you don’t want me here…” Discord frowned. “Really, Rainbow Dash, I’m hurt…” He turned his back to the mares.

“She didn’t mean it like that…” Twilight shot a glance at Rainbow who gave her a confused look, unsure of what she did wrong.

“Oh, I can’t stay mad today! I haven’t been this happy in well, ever!” He spun around to look back at them with a smile. “I’m finally getting married to Celestia! I’m sure the wedding is going to be… exciting…” He tented his fingers as he said this, a deviant smile plastered on his face.

“Discord, what are you up to?” Twilight questioned, knowing the look in his eyes.

“What? You expect me of being up to something?” He placed a hand against his chest and gave her a confused look.

“Whatever gave you that crazy idea?”

“You better not pull any pranks. Princess Celestia would be furious If you did.”

“Pranks? On my wedding day? Even I have days off, dear Twilight. Now if something completely random were to suddenly happen to a certain annoying guest… Well, I definitely wouldn’t be held responsible...”

He was up to something. She was sure of it. “I’m serious Discord; the Princess has been working awfully hard on this… If you mess it up…”

“I’d never! The mere thought of angering the love of my life makes my heart break! I assure you, Twilight; the wedding will go smoothly…”

Finally brushing the thought from her mind, she dropped her gaze. “Well, what are you here for?”

“Yeah, you haven’t been to Ponyville since you wrecked all that chaos!” Rainbow Dash spoke up.

“Well, I’ve been rather busy with Celestia as of late. She’s gotten me to help with all the wedding planning, and I’m glad it’s finally over because that was unbelievably boring! Part of me wished I was still in stone! Well, now that that’s finally over, I wanted to get out a bit before the wedding. You know, the bride and the groom aren’t supposed to see each other on the day of the wedding. Bad luck or something stupid like that. So, since I can’t hang around the castle, I though who better to spend time with then two of my favorite mares!” He embraced them both in a slight hug, Rainbow Dash quickly breaking free.

“Well, we were just about to go get the others, right Twilight?”

“Yes, Spike should be finished cleaning the bedroom any minute now. Once he’s done we can get the others and head off to Canterlot.”

“Oh! Today’s going to be so much fun. I can just feel it!”

----------------------------------

“Oh, oh, oh! You’ve gotta try these triple chocolate muffins! I baked them myself, and just to make them more chocolaty, I filled them with chocolate! Is that a word? Chocolaty? Sounds funny! Chocolaty, chocolaty, chocolaty!”
“Hehehe, oh, Pinkie, you just know how to have a good time, don’t you?” Discord laughed as he swallowed one of the muffins with a single bite.

“Oh, yeah! These things are amazing! I could eat a dozen!” Rainbow Dash grinned as she grabbed another muffin.
“I plan to eat a dozen!” Spike commented, licking the chocolate from his fingers.

Twilight was waiting impatiently by the door as she watched the four of them eat. Despite her pleas that they would be late, they continued to ignore her, and merely sat, eating Pinkie’s sweets. “Come on, you guys! We still have to go get Rarity, Applejack and Fluttershy…”

“Oh, come on, Twilight, we have plenty of time!” Discord snapped his fingers and appeared beside her. “So, just sit back, relax and have something to eat.” A comfy, plush chair suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and he pushed her onto it. He snatched a muffin and promptly shoved it into her mouth. She lay back in the soft, relaxing chair and enjoyed the warm, chocolaty muffin as it melted in her mouth.

After another dozen muffins they finally agreed to get on their way, but not before Spike grabbed another batch for the road.

-----------------------------------

“Come on, Big Mac! Applebloom! We need to hurry it up if we wanna get to that wedding!” Applejack yelled, kicking a nearby apple tree.

“Aww, but sis… My hooves hurt from bucking so much…” Applebloom complained, rubbing her hooves as she lay in the grass.

“Applebloom!” She frowned when she saw her sister had taken a rest. “Get off yer rear and get bucking those trees! We don’t got a lot of time before Twilight arrives…”

Just as she finished saying that, the group arrived.

“Applejack! We’re already late as it is, so let’s get going!” Twilight yelled with impatience as she scanned the orchard for her friend.

The cowpony let out a frustrated growl before coming over to her. “I’m real sorry Twilight, but unless we get these apples done and bucked, then we ain’t gonna be able to attend the wedding…”

“What? But you need to come; it won’t be the same without you, Applejack!” Pinkie Pie pouted.

“Well I wish I could, Pinkie, but work comes first…”

Discord gazed across the vast apple orchard with a mischievous grin. “You know, I could get the whole thing down with just a snap…” He raised his talon, ready to create some chaos.

“Don’t you dare, Discord! You ain’t layin’ a single finger on mah apples!” She roared.

“I’m not going to hurt anything! I promise, your apples will be fine…” He said with a sincere look.

She made an unsure frown and looked at the spirit of chaos and disharmony. “Well, Ah don’t know…”

“Come on, Applejack! Just let him do it, what’s the worst that could happen?” Rainbow Dash cut in, urging her friend to decide.

“Well, alright then… But the apples better be fine or I swear I’ll-”

“No need, Applejack. They’ll be unharmed.” Discord snapped his fingers, and they all watched in awe as the apple trees uprooted themselves and soared into the air.

Applejack’s jaw dropped and she looked on in horror as the trees were turned upside down and shook violently. The apples fell to the ground in a storm of dirt and leaves. The trees then placed themselves back into the ground perfectly, looking like nothing impossible had just happened.

“There, see? Perfectly fine.” Discord snatched an apple off of the ground, rubbed it against his chest, then ate it whole.

Applejack closed her mouth and turned back to her friends. She was completely speechless, and just stood there for a few moments before speaking. “Alright, I ain’t even gonna question what just happened… Let’s just get going…”

-------------------

“Oh, please don’t hurt him! Bunnies are awfully fragile; I think it would be better if you just put him down. If you don’t mind, that is…”

“Why would I hurt this poor, little creature? I love animals!” Discord gently patted the bunny that was sitting in his paw. Angel, upset that some grotesque creature had just picked him up and petted him, bite his outstretched talon.

“OW! Why you! I should turn you to glue for that!” He roared at Angel, raising his talon menacingly. He suddenly remembered the Pegasus in front of him and smiled awkwardly before setting the bunny down.

“If you remember, we’re late!” Twilight shouted, tapping her hoof against the ground.

“Alright, let’s go!”

----------------------

“Rarity?! How in Celestia’s name did you make all of these dresses?! I thought you had spent all your time making the Princess’s!” Twilight questioned as she gazed at the individual dresses all set up in her boutique.

“Well, I did… But I just had to make something for you girls! It was a lot of work, given the short time, but I pulled through! I hope you like them…” Rarity’s muffled voice came through the bathroom door.

“They’re great! I love mine!” Pinkie Pie grinned as she looked over hers.

“Yeah, these one’s are even better than our last!” Rainbow Dash complimented.

“But we don’t have enough time to get these on! We’re already late as it is!”

“Oh, don’t worry, you can just grab them and get ready at the castle! Really, Twilight. I don’t see why you’re so pressed for time, the wedding is tonight after all…” Rarity commented, still in the bathroom.

“Well, yes, but we should be early! I want to talk to the Princess, and I probably won’t have time tonight…”

“Well, just give me a minute while I finish my hair. Pack up the dresses while you’re waiting, and don’t touch anything else!” Just as she said this, Discord poked a nearby mannequin, which fell over and in turn knocked over a massive stack of fabric.

As they all looked from the mess to him, he let out an awkward chuckle.

------------------------

So finally, way behind the schedule Twilight had planned, they all piled into the chariots that had been waiting for them. Twilight, Spike, Pinkie Pie and Discord entered the first. Rarity, Sweetie Belle, Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo entered the second. This left Fluttershy, Applejack, Applebloom and Big Mac to the last one.

Once they were all settled in, the guards piloting them took flight, and for the first time that day, Twilight let out a sigh of relief.

“Ugh, this trip is probably going to be rather boring…” Discord pointed out as he gazed at the boring scenery below them.

“Oh, I know! Let’s play eye spy!” Pinkie Pie suggested with her usual enthusiasm.

“A spectacular idea! Let’s see… I spy… an annoyed unicorn!”

“Hmm…” Pinkie placed a hoof under her chin and looked around them. “Oh! Is it Rarity? She looks awfully upset over there with Sweetie Belle…”

“No.” Discord quickly replied.

“Hmm… Is It Sweetie Belle?”

“Nope.”

Pinkie thought hard, you could almost hear the gears turn in the ponies head. “Oh, I know! It’s Twilight!”

Discord laughed and clapped his hands, “You got it!”

Twilight snorted in annoyance and looked away from the Draconequus. He may have turned nice, but he was still annoying as hay. He really did get a kick out of making her angry, and she assumed it would always be like this. Still, it’s a huge improvement over the old Discord…

-------------------

After an hour of flying, the magnificent city of Canterlot came into view. The tall, spiraling towers of the palace were the first thing they saw. As they neared, they could see tons of ponies bustling about in the streets, giving the feeling that the city itself was alive. It was so high class and busy. So unlike Ponyville…

“You know, I’ve always liked Ponyville more than Canterlot… This place has too many snobs who can’t appreciate chaos…” Discord commented as they approached the palace.

“They aren’t that bad! Remember that party we had when Rarity was staying here? It was great!” Pinkie Pie reminded.

“Discord, Ponyville’s no different than Canterlot… There’s only one pony that likes your chaos, and she’s absolutely insane…”

“Who’s that?”Pinkie Pie asked as she scratched her head, obviously not cluing in.

“Well, I think Celestia likes my chaos…”

“Which pony are you talking about?” Pinkie cut in, only to be ignored.

“I wouldn’t be too sure about that.” Twilight replied sharply.

“Well, there must be something she likes about me. Maybe it’s my charming looks?” He flashed her a grin as he stroked his beard.

“Who’s the crazy one?!” Pinkie Pie burst out, frustrated that she had been thrown out of the loop.

Twilight rolled her eyes at her and simply dropped the conversation. The guards pulled the chariots to the ground and they all hurried out of them.

“Well, we all have a few hours to kill before the wedding. I’m going to go see the Princess, so I’ll meet you guys in the garden at say, three o’clock?” Twilight questioned as her friends gathered around her.

“Sounds great! Ah think Ah’ll go and get me some of that there fancy apple cider they got here. It’s supposed to be amazin’!”

“Yes, and I simply must go and check some of the fashion salons. I need to see what’s in for this year!”

“Well, ladies,” Discord spoke up just as they were about to leave. “It has been a grand old time so far, but sadly I have to leave! Celestia promised the suitors I would be there early…”

They all murmured a weak goodbye; all expect Pinkie Pie who was energetic as always. “Bye Discord! I’ll see you at the wedding!”

Discord nodded at her, then before leaving glanced at Twilight. “Well? No goodbye?”

The unicorn sighed, “Fine… Goodbye Discord… See you soon.”

Satisfied, he pulled out a pair of his favorite shades and put them on. “Until later, ladies, arrivederci!” He disappeared with a white flash and soon they all went their separate ways.

-------------------

“Oh, Princess, you look wonderful!” Twilight complimented as she gazed at the beautiful dress that Rarity had spent so long working on.

“Your friend sure is quite the dress maker, not even my personal tailors would be able to make something this dazzling!”

Celestia replied as she viewed herself in the mirror. “So Twilight, what was it you wanted to talk about?”

“Well…” She looked down at her hooves. “You’ve done all this work and finally you’re getting married… I was just wondering, what exactly do you see in Discord? What is it about him you like?”

Surprised by the personal question Celestia took a minute to respond. Finally she spoke up. “You may not see it, but he’s actually very sweet and caring. He has a very interesting personality and well… I knew him a long time ago, and he was the most innocent creature I had ever met… I suppose I feel some remorse for what I did to him, and pity him somewhat. But it’s grown past that; I love him for being him. You’ll understand one day Twilight, when you meet somepony who loves you. You’ll just know it in your heart that he’s the one you’re supposed to be with, until the end of your days…”

The words sunk deep in Twilight’s skull, and while she didn’t understand the whole thing, it started to make some sense. “I-I think I understand… Thank you Princess.”

Celestia smiled and turned back to the mirror. For the first time in over a thousand years, she hadn’t felt alone. How those thousand years had been painful for her… But they were finally over, and the wedding day had come at last.

“Thank you, Twilight. All I ever wanted was for you to accept us…”

---------------

Just as they had agreed, all of them met back in the garden at three.

“So, how was everypony’s afternoon?” Twilight asked as Rarity finally arrived.

“Oh, I had a great time! I spent the whole time in the garden here, and I actually met a few of the animals!” Fluttershy said with an innocent smile.

“Oh. well me and Spike had an awesome time. we went touring through all the sweet shops in Canterlot! First we stopped at the Donut place, and then we went to this great bakery! Then after that there was this delicious cake place that had this quadruple layered…” Pinkie Pie went on babbling about all the great places they ate at before finally stopping.

“Well, regardless of where everypony was, we should probably go and get ready for the wedding. We don’t have that much time after all.” Rarity commented and they all nodded their heads in agreement.

“Oh, I forgot to tell you guys! Discord popped in and I had a chat with him!” Pinkie suddenly said as they were about to leave.

“Oh, yeah? What about?” Twilight asked with curiosity.

“Well, since Discord doesn’t know many stallions, he asked me to be the best stallion! Er, mare!”

The unicorn looked at her with a surprised face; she really hadn’t been expecting that. “Well that’s… uh, great!”

“Yeah, he gave me these to hold on to!” Pinkie Pie pulled out a band and ring out of seemingly nowhere. Rarity’s eyes instantly light up at the sight of them.

“Just look at those! Gold plated, with diamonds! That must have cost a fortune!” She was practically drooling at the sight of them.

“Oh, I can imagine, good thing he trusted me with them!” She smiled before putting them away. To where is anypony‘s guess.

I don’t think Pinkie is the best choice for that particular duty… Twilight thought to herself. Celestia’s going to kill Discord if she ends up losing them…

-----------------------

The time had finally come. After all those years of wondering, dreaming, and waiting, he was finally getting married to Celestia. He was nervous to say the least.

The wedding had been set up in a large clearing outside of Canterlot, and it had taken days of work to set up. A massive tent was covering them, and rows upon endless rows of seats were all set up. It had been one of the biggest gatherings of ponies he had ever seen, as more and more ponies continued to pour into the seats.

Discord wiped the sweat from him forehead and nervously played with his tail. He almost couldn’t believe this was happening.
“Heya Discord! Are you excited?” Pinkie suddenly popped out of nowhere, causing him to jump.

“Oh, Pinkie Pie! Well, yes… I suppose…”

“I got the bands right here like you said! Kept them nice and safe!” She held them up in front of him to prove she had done her assigned task.

“Yes, that’s good…” He wiped his brow again as he peered out from his individual tent to see all the ponies out there.

A confused look crossed the pink pony’s face and she cocked an eyebrow at him. “Are you nervous Discord?”

“N-nervous? Me? Never! I’m just a little bit anxious, that’s all…”

Pinkie giggled, “You’ll be fine! Just go out there and kiss the Princess, that’s all!” He did have to admit the pink pony calmed him slightly.

“Where are your friends?”

“Oh, they’re with the Princess!”

--------------------

“Alright, how does my hair look?”

“Oh, Princess, it’s simply marvelous! It’s amazing, how it sparkles like that! How do you get it to do that? Is it some type of conditioner?” Rarity asked, getting a glance shot at her by Twilight, she dropped the question.

Alright, alright… Calm down Celly, this is it… She took deep breaths as her heart was racing a mile a minute. “Twilight, where’s Luna?!” She demanded as she scanned her tent for her sister.

“Luna? She was here a second ago…” Twilight said as she poked her head outside the tent. Not being able to find her in the massive mess of people, she gave up. “Where could she be?”

“Oh no, oh no, oh no…” Celestia panicked, her heart racing even faster. “She better get her flank here this instant! We’re going on in just a few minutes!”

Just as she said that, the door flap was thrown open and the Princess of the Night walked in. “Oh, thank heavens, Luna! You had me worried!”

“Huh? Oh, sorry sister, I just went to get something to drink…”

“Well, whatever. Get ready because we’re just about to go on!”

------------------------

Everypony in the audience finally settled down and the area grew quiet. There was anticipation in the air with each second past by, each slower then the last. Finally, the organs started up and everypony smiled as the bride began walking down the aisle. There were gasps all around as they caught sight of the princess and her elegant dress.

Celestia paced slowly down the seemingly endless aisle, dozens upon dozens of ponies eyeing her as she went by. Walking beside her was her sister, who had a somewhat awkward look as she went.

As they neared the altar, she caught sight of Discord, and nearly broke down in the aisle. He was dressed in a black tuxedo, and standing beside him was Pinkie Pie. A pony with large glasses and a book in one hoof stood in the middle, his flank adorned with two wedding bands. On the left of him were all her Bridesmaids, each with a smile on their faces. Twilight was in front of all of them, and she couldn’t help but grin as the Princess walked.

After what seemed like an eternity, she arrived there, and Luna stepped to the side. Celestia walked and stood on the other side of the priest. She glanced over at Discord, who looked just as nervous as her.

“The step which you are about to take is the most important into which pony beings can come. It is a union of two ponies founded upon mutual respect and affection. Your lives will change, your responsibilities will increase, but your joy will be multiplied if you are sincere and earnest with your pledge to one another.” The priest spoke from his book, a complete silence being heard throughout the tent.

“Discord,” He looked at the Draconequus standing beside him. “Will you have this mare to be your wedded wife, to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, for as long as you both shall live?”

“I do.” Discord quivered, using all his strength to keep from shedding a tear.

“Celestia.” He glanced over at the sun Princess beside him. “Will you have this Draconequus, to be your wedded husband, to love him, to comfort him, honor and keep him, for as long as you both live?”

“I do.” Celestia replied, almost on the verge of crying.

“The bands please…” Pinkie Pie walked over and handed the band and ring to Discord. He raised up Celestia’s hoof and placed the glittering band on her. Celestia took the golden ring, and placed it on his finger.

“In as much as Discord and Celestia have consented together in wedlock and have witnessed the same before this company, and pledged their vows to each other, by the authority vested in me, I now pronounce you, husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride.”

The two of them leaned in, and their lips met in a passionate kiss. The whole tent broke out in applause as the kissed, and the two of them couldn’t help but shed a tear.

“I love you, Celestia...” Discord whispered as they broke apart.

“I love you too, Discord…”

Pinkie Pie suddenly burst out in tears, a massive puddle forming beneath her as she watched the two. Water flowed from her eyes like fountains, but her wails were lost in the applause of the tent.

I do have to admit, it’s heartwarming… Twilight thought to herself as she gazed out into the crowd. She could recognize some of the famous ponies, such as Hoity Toity, Prince Blueblood, Fancypants, Photo Finish and Sapphire Shores.

There were some other ponies she recognized in the front row; such as a cross eyed Pegasus, a pony who was sitting in a rather awkward position, a pony with several candy cutie marks who was looking at the pony beside her with an embarrassed look, and a brown earth pony with an hourglass cutie mark.

She could even recognize another pony who was at the bar, struggling to stand. She was a pink earth pony who was guzzling down drinks faster than the bartender could pour them.

Princess Celestia sure had invited a lot of ponies. A whole lot of ponies.

Everypony left the altar, leaving it deserted except for Luna who was just about to walk away. As Discord and Celesta were halfway down the aisle, Discord snapped his fingers and suddenly a wave of chocolate drenched her.

He broke out in a storm of laugher, and even most of the audience couldn’t help but laugh at the soaked mare. She rubbed the chocolate from her eyes and looked at Discord with an intense hatred. “DISCORD! I’M GOING TO KILL YOU WHEN I GET MY HOOVES ON YOU!” She roared and charged down the aisle, the Draconequus teleporting away from her.

Luna charged through the crowd chasing after him, Discord teleporting away whenever she got close. This went on for some time before she finally collapsed in an exhausted heap.

Discord teleported beside Celestia who gave him a very angry look.

“What?” He held a claw to his chest. “I couldn’t help myself!”

-----------------------
It was the end of the wedding, and most of the ponies had left. What remained were the ponies who were far too drunk to make their way back home, and Twilight with all her friends.

“I had a great time, Celestia…” Discord said as the two of them gazed out at the night sky.

“So did I…” Celestia responded, taking her eyes off the stars to look at her lover.

“I’ve never been happier…”

“Neither have I…”

The two of them gazed into each other’s eyes, lost in their beautiful colors. They both leaned in and embraced in a kiss. Just as they kissed, the sky behind them was light up as a dozen stars flew through it, which was something Celestia had begged her sister to arrange. She was still angry about the whole chocolate fiasco, after all.

Well… This is cornier then I would have liked… But I guess I’ll just roll with it… Discord thought silently to himself.

After a handful of seconds that seemed like forever to them, they pulled apart. They returned to staring into each other’s eyes, each trying to grasp savor the happiness that they each felt at that very moment.

“Do I still have to sleep on the couch tonight?”

“Yes…Yes you do…”
