//------------------------------// // Chapter 13 // Story: My Widdle Pwincess // by Super-Stallion //------------------------------// Princess Luna, with Twilight riding on her back, walks down the hall of the castle heading up to her room. Unbeknownst to them, just outside one of the hall windows Celestia was watching them, hidden out of view behind the window sill, flapping her wings to keep afloat since they're on the third floor. "Why would Twilight want to go with Luna instead of staying with me?" Celestia says to herself watching them. "I know, what so special about Luna anyway? She could have just as much fun with me than she can have with her!" Discord said floating just above Celestia's head. "Yeah...wait a minute?" She looked up at him. "What are you doing here, Discord!?" she yelled. "Hmm?" Luna thought she heard something. She looks behind her at the window only to see it was empty. She looked at the window for a while before shrugging. She continued her walk down the hall. Celestia and Discord peek back over the window sill to see Luna turn down a corner. Discord looks back at Celestia. "You should really be more quiet, Princess, we're trying to follow her and your yelling isn't going to help." "Why are you here, I thought you went to go take care of a pie?" she asked more quietly. "Want some?" He said holding up a pie. "Why are you following my sister?" "I could ask you the same thing Princess, I think we both know why we're here." Celestia raised a brow. "Discord, I didn't know you care so much about Twilight. What has she done to you to make you like her this much?" she ask curiously. Discord huffed and looked away back at the window. "We're just friends now, okay? No big deal." he said, but he couldn't help the smile that came across his face when he said that. Celestia looked at the smile a bit surprised but then soon smiled herself and started giggling a little. Discord looked back at her strangely. "What are you giggling about?" "Oh nothing...it's just I haven't seen you smile like that in a long time." she replied with a sigh. "What are you talking about, I smile all the time. See?" He makes a ridiculous smile and clown make-up suddenly appeared on his face making the look that more crazy. Celestia shook her head and sighed. "So what are we going to do now, Discord?" "Hmm..." he looks at her curiously. "What do you mean 'we'?" "Well since we both have the same goal maybe we should work together on this one, what do you say?" she said. "You mean me and you together, have you gone mad!?" "Says the guy who eats cotton candy clouds and still sleeps with a stuffed animal at the age over a thousand years." Discord gasps. "Don't you dare bring Mr. Wuggles into this!" Celestia held up her hooves defensively. "Okay, okay calm down, if you don't want to work together that's okay it was just a suggestion." He raised a brow questioningly. "Why would you want to work with me anyway? I thought you hated me for earlier." She nods. "Yeah, I was pretty mad, I still feel kinda enraged that you just took her like that right out my arms. But you did say you were sorry and Twilight seems to trust you, so I'm willing to look past it and if you wish I'll even let you join me." "What makes you think I want to join you and spy on her?" he asked. "Like you said before we both know why we're here, and this will be a good chance for us to communicate." "Communicate? I didn't know Equestria invented phones." "Do you want to spy on my sister or not!?" Discord shrugs. "Sure I have nothing better to do anyway, though I'm surprised your spying on your sister like this with no problem." "Pffff, Luna spies on me all the time, just last month she tried looking into my diary." Celestia retorted. "Wait she still does that? And you still have a diary!?" "Yes, I have a diary and no you can't see it!" "Awww." he whines. Celestia rolls her eyes. "Look we're losing track, Luna should be in her room by now. Let's go." **** Luna had indeed reached her room and she now laid down on her bed, her regalia resting to the side on the table and Little Twilight sitting down in front of her. Just outside her room window Celestia and Discord appeared a moment later watching them from outside. "So how long are we going to watch them?" Discord asked. "I just want to see what my Sister plans, now shush I want to hear them." Celestia said and they both begun listen carefully to the conversation inside. Luna smiles leaning down at eye level with Twilight. "What do you wish to play, Twilight? Play board games, tag, pillow fight. Wanna play a childrens card game!" Twilight waved her hooves. "Hold on, hold on give me a minute to tink about it." she said tapping a hoof on her chin in thought. Luna started giggling and she looks at her curiously. "What are you waughing about?" "Oh nothing, I just think it's funny how you make that face when you think. Since you're a foal now you look really cute when you make it." She giggles. She pouts puffing up her cheeks angrily. "Me- I mean, I'm not cute!" she yelled. "Aww yes you are, you're a little cutie~" she cooed as she starts nuzzling her cheek. She pushes her away and scowls. "Nu huh!" "Uh huh, you're so cute. I can't help doing this." "Wait, doing what- HAHAAHAHA!" Twilight laughs hysterically when Luna suddenly starts mercilessly tickling her feathers brushing the tips of her wings under her chin. Luna watched cooing and teasing Twilight on how cute she was laughing her head off. "Hahaha Woona! Dis isn't faiw, s-stahp it!" she screams helplessly. Luna giggles as she tickles the little princess into large fits of laughter. Twilight could do nothing to defend herself against Luna and her large feathery wings. The Princess finally stops and coos. "Too cute~" When she calms down from her laughter she looks up at Luna scowling. "Never do dat again." Luna just smiled innocently and ruffles her hair. "You can choose whatever game you want, Twilight and we shall play it." she said. Twilight thinks about it again and looks at Luna. "Can we pway Hide and Seek?" "Hmm, Hide and Seek? Yes, yes let us play Hide and Seek! You go hide Twilight while I seek you out." she said covering her eyes with her hooves. Twilight smiles. "Otay Woona, count to, uh, a thousand to give me time to hide." she giggles as she slowly crawled off the bed. "Very well. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,..." "Woona count slower I need time to hide." Twilight said making her way toward the exit. Luna chuckles. Keeping her eyes shut. "Alright Twilight, 1....2....3....4....5...." "Dat's bettew, now don't wook." Twilight horn glows and she teleports out the room. Both the Princess and the Lord looked on in shock at what just happened right before their eyes. They looked at each other then back in the room to see Luna still counting. "Oh my gosh, that filly!" Discord exclaims beginning to laugh out loud. "Discord that isn't funny." Celestia said trying not to laugh herself. "Oh come on even you have to admit that was pretty hilarious." She shakes her head. "No, no this is serious, Discord. Twilight just can't be running around the castle by herself in her condition, she could get hurt." she retorted. "Then in that case don't you think we should hurry and go find her?" He pointed out. Celestia nodded and they both left to go find the little filly leaving Luna in the room as she continues to count slowly. As for where Twilight did go, she hadn't gone very far, she only teleported just outside the hall of Luna's room. She giggles as she looked both ways down the halls to see if she was seen then she crawls away. "I'm gonna find da bestest hiding spot so Luna can't find me." she giggles happily to herself, thinking how clever she was into getting away from Luna like that to find a hiding spot around the castle. She knew Luna would be a little frighten to find her missing but it'll be okay it's all for fun and games after all, what could possibly happen to her, she's a big filly. "I'm a big fiwwy, I can still do tings mysewf." she said continuing to crawl down the hall. She crawled down the hallway from Luna's room to find her hiding spot. Not realizing just above her, she was being watched by her teacher and foolish friend. "Huh, wasn't that hard finding her she just went outside the door." Discord said. Celestia sighed in relief watching her student slowly crawl down the hall looking at different places to hide. "That's a relief, I was worried she might have gotten herself hurt using that teleporting spell." "That's nothing to be worried about she teleports all the time." He retorted. "Yes, but she's a foal, Discord, she can't just use magic while she's like that she could get hurt." she jerks. "She looks okay to me." he said looking down her. "For now, but what if she gets hurt!? She could fall and break something, or somepony may take her or t-" "Oh my chaos, just listen to yourself Celestia, you're so over protective of Twilight." He said floating around her. "Well of course I would be I'm her teacher, I care about my student." Discord shakes his head. "Nah, it's more then just that, you sound like a mother trying to protect her foal." She looked behind her at him questionably. "I do?" "Eeyup, you're worried about her safety and you're trying to ruin her fun." He said and boops her nose. Celestia scowls at him, she knew she was at the right here. "She needs to be watched Discord she's only a foal." she says then flies down and lands on the floor. She looks around for Twilight and sees her trying to crawl into the helmet of a set of armor in the hall. Celestia walks up to the armor looking at Twilight's back witch was the only thing left sticking out the armor. "Twilight Sparkle." Twilight pokes back out the armor helmet and looks back to see Celestia. "Tia? What awe you doing hewe?" "I could ask you the same thing," she picks Twilight up off the armor and cradles her. "you shouldn't be running around by yourself." "But I'm pwaying hide and seek with Woona." Twilight said as though she did nothing wrong. Celestia smiled and nuzzles her. "I know Twilight, but le'ts take you back to Luna, okay? I don't want you running around on your own." she said then turned around to take Twilight back to Luna. Till suddenly Discord appeared and snatched her right from her arms. "Thank you." he said smiling brightly. "Discord what the hay are you doing!" Celestia yells as her eyes glared at him angrily. Discord smirks down at Twi. "Hey Twilight, wanna play a new game and hide from Celestia?" he asked. She smiled up at him her excitement getting the better of her. She doesn't even realize Celestia getting angry. "Yeah Dizzy, I wanna pway!" "Great! The game starts now!" He said and before she could say anything he teleports away. "DISCORD!" Celestia said and teleported after them. Discord appeared in another hall and he laughs full heartedly as he runs down the hall, Twilight in his arms. Celestia appeared behind him and she growls. Fuming as she chased after them. They turned down halls and corridors in epic chase, Celestia flying after Discord as he carries Twilight down through the castle. She tries using magic to grab Twilight away from Discord, but every time he deflects it back with his own magic preventing her from reaching Twi. Ponies that pass by and saw the chase moved out the way for the lord of chaos and princess of Equestria. Everypony that saw their Princess practically breathing hot air and looking so angry and frustrated as she chased Discord. Knew that they should keep away. "Discord! Get back here right now!" Celestia yelled back down the hall at him as she flew. Her eyes were on fire and her man was starting to glow bright turning from her usual rainbow like colors, to heated flames that looked like her mane just lite on fire. "Not till you catch us!" Discord called back laughing like a mad pony. Twilight giggles thinking this was all simple fun. As they flew around the castle and saw scared ponies, she simply giggled thinking they where startled seeing somepony like the princess and lord of chaos, playing a simple game of tag. She looks back behind them to see Celestia's expression, what she saw makes her eyes grow wide. The princess looked angry. Very angry. Twilight has never seen Celestia this way before not even over here precious slice of cake when the chefs was trying to get her on her diet. Which left her very frustrated. But never has Twilight seen her princess so mad. And it scared her a lot. She snaps her head back up to Discord, and tries getting his attention. "Dizzy, I tink we should stop now, Tia wooks weally mad." she said in a worried tone. Discord looks down at her smirking, not at all worried about the situation. "What for? where having so much fun!" he exclaimed. "But Tia wooks weally mad." Discord looked behind him to see Celestia. She indeed looked furious to him, practically breathing fire. But that still didn't even make him flinch. "She's just a little boiled, sunbutt looks the same to me." he said like it was no big deal. "But Discowd!" she whines. "Don't worry will just play with her a little longer." he said with a evil smirk. "In fact let's make this more, entertaining." Discord snaps his fingers and a big water ballon appears infront of Celestia, and it hits her right in the face and popped thanks to her horn, her face and mane are now soaked. That caused Celestia to growl more in frustration and anger and she flaps faster to catch up. Discord laughs maniacally as he summons more water balloons that hit her in the face. "Discowd stop it!" Twilight yelled as Discord threw water balloons. Celestia was getting madder and madder as balloons hit her. When they exploded, the water in them was quickly evaporated into thin air instead of hitting her, cause it was soon becoming hotter in the halls around Celestia as her fury rises. "Discord, I'm going to kill you!" Celestia screamed, fire flaring out her nostrils now. "Discord you have to stop!" Twilight yelled. But he didn't listen and they continued their chase around the castle. Discord looked back and saw that Celestia was quickly catching up to them. With a snap of his fingers he teleported and Celestia teleports after them. They reappeared on top Canterlot Castle and they started running around in a circle chasing each other. Discord continued laughing, as Celestia chased him around the roof. "Get back here DISCORD!!" she roared. "NEVER!" He replied back. Twilight looked between the two adults and decided to take matters into her hooves before this gets anymore out of hoof then it already has. Using her magic she teleports from Discord's arms and appears on the roof. Celestia and Discord stopped to look at Twilight. "Twilight, what are you doing? Run before Sunbutt gets you!" Discord said warned pointing at Celestia. "No Twilight, come here right now. It's dangerous to be up here, come back to me and we'll go inside to where it's safe." she orders to Twilight. As much she wanted to beat Discord to a pulp till he was begging for mercy. Her main priority was getting Twilight. She need to get her as far away from Discord as possible. One to get her away from Discord and his bad influence he could have on her. And two so she doesn't see her beat Discord up after she gets her away from him. "You're just trying to spoil our fun. Twilight, don't you want to play more with your pal Dizzy?" Discord smirked at Twilight. He was having too much fun to give it up easily. Plus he was getting under Celestia's skin, which makes it all the more fun. Twilight tries to speak up over the uproar. "Guys please don't-" "Discord you cant make her decide, let Twilight speak for herself!" Celestia yelled at Discord. "Guys pwease I-" "I'm not making her do anything, I already know what she really wants. Tell her Twilight!" Discord said interrupting Twilight for the second time. "Cewestia, Discowd, wisten I-" "I don't care what she wants, she needs to go back inside, somewhere not here!" she retorted back at him. He scuffs. "And you call yourself a teacher. I thought you cared about Twilight?" "I do that's why I'm trying to get her off the roof of the castle!" "T-Tia. D-Dizzy pwease stop fighting." Twilight begged starting to go to tears. But they didn't hear her over their fighting and continued to bicker. "We're just having fun. What's wrong with that!?" Discord asked. "Fun! FUN!? Gah! Discord I've been chasing you all around the castle yelling bloody murder at you!" "Oh you noticed that too," Discord says with a smirk. "to tell the truth I was becoming afraid of you at that moment, you looked so horrifying. I wonder what those other ponies we passed thought of you? Seeing there beloved Princess looking so nasty and furious. I bet the next time they see you, all they'll see is that scary face and they run away terrified!" He laughs. She winced thinking about all the scared expression she saw while she chased, Discord around like a mad mare. She was defiantly going to have to apologize to her little ponies later for her behavior. She glares back at Discord. "Twilight is coming back with me!" "Hey don't you think we should let the filly decide!" Discord yelled back glaring. "NO! You're not the right pony for Twilight to be around, you don't know when it's time to stop having 'fun' and get serious! You won't make sure she's safe!" She said flatly, walking up to Discord and facing up to him. He leans down face to face with Celestia. "I can keep her safe, I have more power then any normal pony!" he retorts. "Power has nothing to do with this, if you can't even keep an eye on her!" "Says the pony who lost her once!" "Cause you took her from me!" "Well I proven I can take care of her plenty! So you can just shut your trap!" "I don't care! Cause you know what? I will make sure you never see her again!" "WAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" Both adults winced as a loud screaming pierced the air and they look over at Twilight who was crying her eyes out loudly. She was squirming and bawling as she screamed with a Canterlot voice. "Don't fight!!" She screams. The adults both winced again then ran over and started trying to calm her down. "Twilight shhh calm down we're not fighting anymore, see!" Celestia said patting her back. "Yeah we won't fight anymore. Look see, look at the funny face!" Discord said holding up a little hand puppet of himself and started making silly faces with it. Twilight continued crying, her emotions overwhelming her. Discord watched as Twilight cried and then at Celestia. "What now?!" he said over the foal screaming. Celestia picks her up and hugs her to her chest. "She just needs to calm down a bit that all." she replied rocking her. After a few minutes of crying Twilight started calming down into sniffles then fell asleep in Celestia's arms. Warn out from crying so hard. Celestia looked at her with a maternal smile as she rocked Twilight back and forth. Discord also looked down at Twilight for a while as she sleeped peacefully in Celestia's arms. He looked at her then he turned around and sighs. "Celestia?" "Hmm?" she looks up at Discord. Discord doesn't turn to meet her gaze as he speaks. "I'm....sorry, I didn't mean to make her cry. I only meant to have some fun." Celestia looked at him not sure what to say. She sighed and nods. "I know Discord, I know. I...I forgive you." she said. Discord nodded but he still didn't looked at her. Celestia puts Twilight over her back then at Discord. "Let's return her to my sister." **** Back in Luna's bed room she was still counting slowly to begin the game. Not noticing a burst of light flash behind her or Celestia walking over to the bed behind her and laying Twilight down on the bed, who then curled up. Celestia disappears again out the room in another flash unnoticed. "998....999....1000! Ready or not Twilight cause here I come!" Luna reopens her eyes smiling as she starts looking around. She then heard snores behind her, she turned around to see Twilight laying on the bed lightly snoring. "Oh Twilight, you're not good at this game at all."
