"H-hey, Celestia..." A timid voice said in the cover of darkness..
It was midnight, Lulu was in bed and mother was patrolling the east to find new colonies...in the mean time...she wouldn't mind her daughter sneaking out into the dangerous woods to see a boy; as long as she never knew. The soft and silly face of her dear friend was blanketed by darkness and his nature would make it a challenge getting him into the light she stood under.
"Don't be foolish, you...come out here."
Shy eyes darted around and Celestia heard stuttering but no real excuse coming from him...
"Oh please..." She pleaded. "No one will see us!"
"I think I am fine here..." The timid voice peeped.
"Funny Face..."
Celestia could see a big lions paw cover his face in the shadows; even though she couldn't see, she was sure that his face burned crimson at the nickname.
"Pleasssssse?" She whined...pushing her pink mane back a little so he could see both her glowing eyes widen and shine in the pale moonlight.
"....Oooh fine! Just stop it with the look..." He said in the cute little accent that she loved...though he tried to hide it most of the time.
Celestia backed up a little to give him room and after a moment to gather his courage...the green scales on his leg stepped first into the moonlight and glowed a little thanks to the clear night; soon a goats fuzzy leg followed and then his serpent body hunched over joined suit...looking down at the princess with shifting blue eyes.
"See? Was that so hard now?"
Discord rubbed his arm shyly and couldn't seem to look directly at the young princess, she rolled her eyes and stepped within inches of him; making sure he had no choice but to look down at the soft smile of the white alicorn. Hoots of owls commentating on the scene in the small clearing made her glance back shortly to make sure it wasn't her mother that startled them, Discord looked over curiously and inadvertently forgot how close they were; bumping into Celestia and suddenly looking down in frozen shock, both of them stepping back and laughing awkwardly at their paranoia.
"How have you been, friend?"
Discord straightened a little now that the initial awkwardness wore off, smiling back finally.
"Better...the urges are becoming more silly rather than...destructive."
Celestia leaned in curiously..
"W-well..I mean that I made it rain coco instead of hurting somepony with my..."
Discord bit back the last word...Celestia knew that he was deathly afraid of making anypony cross when he couldn't help himself. After all, his strange gift was uncontrollable and the only way to quell it was to cause havoc. Discord was on the edge of self-hatred were it not for the kind words of a certain alicorn, though of course her mother saw the two and for some reason..forbid them from meeting...of course that only encouraged the two.
"That is good!"
Discord's head lifted a little and the white tail flicked up happily.
"I know you can learn to control this gift..someday the ponies of Equinans will need you and your power to lift their spirits just as you lift mine."
Celestia didn't realize what the words implied but the realization sank in faster than she could catch it, bright blue eyes widening and face tuning a slight shade of red. Celestia thought about the deeper meaning and it only took moments to look up at the goofy looking face of the draconequus and lean up to affirm his thoughts...cut short but a disappointed yell from the sky while a massive shadow of wings fell over them...
"Celestia!"
Discord looked up and vanished back into the shadows...not without hesitating and looking back to wave timidly; that small act made the scolding coming on wings of fire just a bit easier to take...
I'll convince her somehow that you're not bad...my very special somepony...
