Discord sneered as he opened one of his favorite books: Princess Nightmare Moon's Diary. Few knew about its existence, those few being Luna, Celestia, Discord, and Nightmare herself. Discord licked his talon and flipped to the next page of the book. His eyes scanned across the pages quickly, catching every detail and every word. His features slowly began to change from a devilish smile to a confused frown.

He shook his head and quickly blinked his eyes quickly, re-scanning the page. He scribbled something down on the paper and folded the page. He frowned and took the book, re-locking it and taking the key with him. He walked around the castle, not paying any attention to where he was headed. His legs were on auto pilot while his mind flooded with questions. Why him? What did he do to deserve this? What was she going to think?

He kept on thinking until he hit her. He bumped into Princess Nightmare Moon. She smiled up sweetly at him until she noticed the book. Her happiness turned into anger, and she growled as she pulled him down to eye level by his horns. Discord flustered as he bumped muzzles with Nightmare, who just looked angry more than anything.

"What in Equestria are you doing with my Diary?!" Nightmare Moon demanded.

"I just..." Discord started, but couldn't force the words out of his throat. He tried to pull his head away, but her magic was keeping him glued eye level.

"Discord!" She yelled, swatting him on the head and swiping the diary.

She took the key from his talons and opened the book, to a folded page she hadn't remembered. She released him from her magic as she read on the paper, and started to blush. She looked up at Discord and smiled, tears coming to her eyes.

"You're an idiot." Nightmare Moon said flirtatiously, then procuring a wrought iron pan, proceeded to beat Discord to death with it. She dropped the bloodied pan on the ground and trotted away, tail and head in the air.

Nightmare Moon sat down on her bed and slid her Diary into its drawer, then sprawled out on the bed. She sighed and rolled off the bed, slowly getting up and trotting outside her midnight blue door. She walked to Discord's room and opened to see the God of Chaos crying in the middle of jumbles of chaos.

"Discord... are you okay?" Nightmare asked, the subtle chaos dying down at the sound of her voice.

"I never would'a guessed you liked me like that. Just... enjoying some lovely chaos." Discord said mechanically.

"Discord... I'm sorry for beating you to death with that pan. Would you like to have a chaotic tea party?" Nightmare asked, putting her hoof over Discord's talon.

"That'd be lovely." Discord said, the chaos stirring and a tea set floating on a non-existent table.

The couple sat and drank their chaotic tea in content, ending the date with a smooch on the cheek. Discord ran throughout the halls screaming as a blushing Princess Nightmare Moon chased after him with a wrought iron pan in her magic.
