//------------------------------// // Day 2 part 3 // Story: Camping can be Evil // by WolfoftheWaves Pony //------------------------------// "WAKE UP SLEEPING BEAUTY!" "AH!' Luna screamed, having a real light this time being flashed in her eyes. Her eyes flew open, revealing a Draconequus holding a flashlight. "Discord! What are you-" Luna's eyes flickered to something before her and watched in fascination as her hooves slowly turned from blue to black. "Discord, what in the name of-" "There will be time for that later," Discord said, waving his lion paw about. "Right now, you have to help us." Luna sat a bit taller up in her sleeping bag. "Help you with what?" "We found Sombra. But he's..." "He's what?" Luna asked. "He's kinda delusional. Probably heat stroke. Oh, and we hope that his lover can snap him out of it long enough to get him into something cool," Discord snickered. Luna crossed her hooves over her chest. "Why don't you do it yourself?" "Because he won't cooperate." "No. I won't go. Not until you tell me what's happening to me." "What?" Discord said, his face falling. "But where is the fun in-" Luna cut him off, leaping forward and covering his mouth with her hoof. "Discord, if you say "where is the fun in that" one more time, so help me I will throw one of Chrysalis' porcupines at your face!" The Draconequus reared back. "Fine, fine. You went god-mode, somehow the spell that kept you as the nightmare got severed but not completely, and now you juts randomly switch back and forth." "What?' "Enough stalling!" Discord said, grabbing Luna's hoof. "Time to see your boyfriend!" Discord dragged the struggling Luna out into the campsite. Luna gasped. Close by, hanging from a tree branch, was the blue unicorn Trixie, bound and gagged. usually, this would make Luna want to kill Discord. But this time around, she found pleasure in it. "Like my little prank?' Discord asked. "Uh... yeah. I actually kind of do. Seeing as CELESTIA sent her here!" The gag around Trixies mouth loosened and fell to the ground. "Why you little piece of- I mean, princess. Why must you like what is happening to Trixie?" "She made me mad. So I tied her up. End of story." Discord said. "Now, let's go see your boyfriend." Suddenly there was a flash of light, and Luna and Discord were standing on the banks of the lake. "Wait, he's... here?" She asked him. "Yep," Discord said, and then started to walking along the bank. Luna followed. "And he is completely delirious." "Yeah. you told me." "And I mean it. And you have to fix him." "Why me? All of this is feeling a bit.. rushed. I just woke up not even TWO minutes ago." "Yeah, but Sombra's craziness is not only it," He said as he stopped next to a bush with large leaves. "What's not only it?" Luna asked him. "Celestia must have a sick sense of humor. Didn't Sombra blow up the last time he was defeated?" "Uh, yeah." "Well, then..." Discord reached out and pulled down the large leaf.
