The sun was starting to rise and a beam of the bright golden sun struck on Discord's face, forcing him to wake up. The birds started singing their morning song which apparently always made Discord gag every morning. Discord moaned and stretched, making weird sounds every time he did. It has been 6 months since Discord has been reformed and he has been living in Celestia's castle ever since.
Out of nowhere, a letter came in from the open window and floated infront of Discord's face. Discord moaned and read it.
Dear Discord,
I have some major tasks for you to do. Please meet me in my throne room in 5 minutes.
Yours truly,
Princess Celestia
"What does she wa-" Discord asked himself before 2 royal guards stormed into his room and dragged him to the princess's throne room. "LET ME GO FOOLS! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?! I AM THE LORD OF CHAOS! NOW LET ME GO NOW OR I'LL UNLEASH CHAOS UPON YOU ALL!" Discord hollered while he tried his best to struggle out of the guards' grasps. He tried to teleport out but Celestia has put a spell on the castle which made Discord have the inability to use his magic.
"Well well, you're finally here Discord." Celestia said while signalling for the guards to leave. The guards threw Discord across the room right infront of Celestia before trotting towards the doors and slamming them shut.
Discord got up slowly and brushed the dust off his fur. "I'm sorry for my guards' behavior. I hope you can forgi-" Celestia tried her best to apologize but Discord rudely interrupted her, "HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YO- Oh my...... Celestia- Celestia your Highness I'm so sorry!" Celestia smiled calmly and walked over to Discord. 'It's alright Discord.' She smiled. 'Follow me.' Discord gravely nodded and followed Celestia around the castle. He saw ponies hanging up decorations and practicing for the gala. They were rather chatty and happiness filled the air around him. Discord scoffed and wondered what all this was about.
"Uh whats the purpose of this? Why did you want me here again?" Discord asked, a hit of concern grew on his face.
"Discord, remember the letter?" Celestia asked.
"Yes. You needed me to do an 'Important' task or something stupid thing like that."
"Well, as you know, the Grand Galloping Gala is in 5 days and I need you to clean the castle before the Gala starts."
"WHAT?! CLEAN?! THE 'IMPORTANT' TASK IS CLEANING?! Why dont you use that horn of yours??" Discord said while hitting Celestia's horn. "And may I remind you that my magic is gone because of you."
Celestia sighed. "I had to take away your powers. What if you decide to take advantage of my trust for you?"
"But Im reformed, remember? By....Fluttershy.....' Discord let out a small dreamy sigh and smiled at the thought of Fluttershy. Celestia raised an eyebrow when she noticed Discord's expression. Celestia has always noticed his reactions when a topic involving fluttershy was brought up. Could the God of Chaos be possibly in love? Celestia cleared her throat. With that, Discord broke out of his trance and straightened up. He pretended like nothing happened, although he was blushing uncontrollably.
"I believe you'll do a good job in cleaning the castle. I have to visit Princess Cadance for a while. I'll leave my sister in charge." Celestia announced before flying off to the Crystal Empire.
A dark blue alicorn soon appeared behind Discord with a mop, two buckets of water, a broom and another bucket with a cloth.
"You better start working on it," Princess Luna smirked.
Discord rolled his eyes but took the cleaning equipment gravely. "Yes, your highness." Discord bowed, at the same time making the water from the buckets spill. Discord groaned. "Didn't think that one through!"
