'They sure have been gone an awful long time,' Applejack said, pacing.
'I'm sure they're fine,' Twilight Sparkle replied. 'They have Princess Luna with them. I just can't figure out why I feel...awful.'
Applejack stopped pacing. 'Maybe because you made Chaos cry and run out.'
'What a big baby!' Rainbow Dash exclaimed.
'Not at all,' Fluttershy said. 'From what I can tell about her, that would have hurt her terribly.'
Pinkie Pie jumped up. 'Well I'm not just going to sit around while my new friend is who knows where! Let's go everypony!'
'Darling...' Rarity began, but was cut off by Twilight Sparkle.
'We might as well. Waiting is doing no good.'
'What if they're in the...gulp...Everfree Forest?' Spike asked. At that, they all gulped.
________________________________________________
The ponies had looked almost everywhere. As they got close to the Everfree Forest, however, they heard laughter. And voices.
'That can't be true,' Chaos' voice proclaimed as they walked closer. The ponies stopped when they were within sight.
'Oh, dear Chaos, I assure you it's quite true,' Discord replied. 'As far as I remember.'
'But that color!' Princess Luna exclaimed, shocked. 'What will you say next?'
'Who knows?' He replied with a shrug. 'But it's my turn to pick a pony. Chaos, truth or dare? And I must admit, once I got used to it this game has been loads of fun.'
'Uhm...truth?'
'Would you like to go on a date with me?' There was slyness in his voice, and a bit of a strange new tone. The ponies watching jaws dropped.
'Oh crap! Dare.'
'You can't do that,' Princess Luna pointed out.
'I'll allow it,' Discord said with a smirk. 'But only if she does whatever dare I come up with, no matter how crazy.'
'To get out of that, deal.'
Discord pretended to think for a moment, but he already had the mother of all crazy dares. 'Go on a date with me.'
The ponies watching gasped in unison. The three looked up.
'I'm sure they saw you agree to do whatever dare I said,' Discord said, smugly. 'No getting out of it.'
'But...But...' Chaos stammered. 'Fine. What time?'
Discord thought for a moment, wondering if his plan would work. 'Starting now, ending later this evening. Since I made the dare, I decide what counts as a date. Including time.'
'That's not a date,' Chaos protested. 'I don't think they're supposed to last so long.'
'Unfortunately, Discord would be right,' Princess Luna said, somewhat sadly. Chaos needed her, Chaos had helped her, but Discord was correct. And she wasn't going to lie.
'You guys.' Looking at the ponies who were watching, eyes pleading.
'Have fun,' Pinkie Pie called out. 'Be sure to tell me all about it!'
'He's right,' Twilight Sparkle said.
'Meh, it's what you get for trusting Discord,' Rainbow Dash said.
'Sorry, can't help ya,' Applejack said.
'Even Chaos can get a date,' Spike grumbled.
'I'll get you a lovely flower,' Fluttershy said. 'For your hair I mean.'
'I'll do your hair, if it's alright with Discord,' Rarity said. 'He did say the date was already started. She gave a wink.
'Oh sure,' Discord said. 'I'll meet you at Rarity's.'
'Oh...goody..' Chaos said weakly. Oh what a day!
______________________________________________________
'I feel like a freaking princess,' Chaos grumbled. Rarity had curled and put up Chaos' mane, her tail she had curled, and she had put a silver tiara with small blue jewels on her head. Fluttershy had gotten two lovely red flowers, and one was behind each ear.
'You look lovely darling,' Rarity said. 'Now this goes without saying, but do tell me how it goes.'
'Have fun,' they all said in unison. Spike's was a grumble.
Poof!
'Are you ready?' Discord asked. He took one look at Chaos, and froze. He seemed speechless, which pleased Rarity. Then he burst out laughing.
'You look so girly! Like a princess!'
THUNK
Chaos had hit Discord in the head.
'Ouch. You don't hit very girly. This is a terrible beginning.'
'Tell me about it,' Chaos grumbled as she walked out.
'Oh I'm sure it will go better. So well in fact, you'll want another date.' He followed.
'Never playing truth or dare with you again.' It was the last thing the other ponies heard.
Rarity was fuming. 'What a horrible date poor Chaos is bound to have! And her first ever too!'
_________________________________________________________________
'So what are we doing?' Chaos asked.
'Well I figured I'd try something 'normal', and we could go eat,' Discord replied. 'Since it would be new.'
'It's not time for lunch or dinner,' Chaos pointed out.
Discord shrugged. 'I'm still me.'
'Where?' Chaos asked.
'Follow me still, dear Chaos. We're almost there.'
They didn't walk much longer before Discord said, 'we're here.' He ushered Chaos to the doors, and then made them disappear. Inside, the smell of baked goods filled the air. Chaos heard Pinkie Pie gasp.
'Oh yippie,' she exclaimed. 'Getting sweets? Don't worry, I'll pay for everything.'
'Actually we need a table,' Discord said, grandly. 'We'll be eating here.'
'Sweets for a meal?' Pinkie Pie asked. 'I'll still cover it. Gosh Chaos, you're lucky!'
'How about I make more later?' Chaos asked. 'To help out and make up for it.'
'As long as they don't go splat,' Pinkie Pie giggled. 'So what do you want?' Discord just looked at Chaos.
'Uhm..A plate of...Surprise us Pinkie.'
'You got it,' Pinkie Pie giggled. She took off to get the sweets.
'Are you sure that was a good idea?' Discord asked, smugly.
'What do you mean?' Chaos asked. But Discord wouldn't answer, but soon Pinkie Pie was back and Chaos saw the answer.
The plate was full of hearts. Well heart-shaped things. Heart shaped cookies, marshmallows, and mini cakes filled the plate. They were decorated with icing, chocolate, and sprinkles. Some were girly, but some were blues, purples, greens, or a combination. A few looked morbid. The top two cookies and mini cakes were something else. One cookie and one mini cake had Discord's coloration and said 'for Chaos'. One cookie and one mini cake had Chaos' coloration and said 'for Discord'. Pinkie Pie dropped them off with a wink, and took off. She still, watched, however.
Chaos just gawked at the sweets.
'Told you,' Discord said, chuckling. He picked up the 'for Discord' cookie with his eagle claw. With his lion paw, he picked up the 'for Chaos' cookie and placed it partially in Chaos' mouth. It almost fell, and Chaos caught it. They both began to eat.
'This is actually pretty good,' Chaos thought. Without thinking, she reached for the mini cake that was 'for Chaos'. Her hoof brushed Discord's claw.
'Trying to hold my hand now?' Discord asked, slyly. 'I'm not that kind of Draconiquuis.'
'I was just...' Chaos stammered.
'Oh I know.' Discord laughed.
Before they knew it, the treats were gone.
'That was great,' Chaos said.
'So what next?' Discord asked.
