The Chaos Conundrum

by Chaos_Azeroth


Chapter 9(Date, Continued)

Chaos blinked. 'Are you asking..me?'

'I'm not on a date with anypony else,' Discord said, a 'duh' tone in his voice.

'Why?'

'I'm curious. Though this part turned out better than I expected.'

'One condition.'

'What?'

'I want to feel your lion paw.'

'Why?' Slyness in his voice.

Chaos shrugged. 'Curious.'

Discord shrugged and extended his paw. Chaos nuzzled into it. It was warm and soft.

'Discord, are you...blushing?'

'No.' A flat look on Discord's face. But he was indeed blushing, just a little bit.

'Well, let's go.' Chaos flew out, and Discord followed.

Pinkie Pie came out to get the plate. She sighed, happily. Her friend seemed to be having a great time, and they seemed to really like each other. Maybe they would get married! But an even stranger thought hit Pinkie Pie.

'What kind of children would they have?' She mused to herself. 'Could they even?'

BOOM

'Curse that cloud!' Came a voice from behind the counter. 'Pinkie!'

'Why are we back here?' Discord asked. They were at Sweet Apple Acres.

'Super color apples,' Chaos declared, bouncing. 'Now that they know they'd be okay, maybe they'd like them.'

Discord rolled his eyes. 'Or maybe we'll be assaulted this time.'

'Nah,' Chaos said, causing an apple to turn blue. 'Try it.'

Discord turned an apple purple. 'Red would be pointless,' he sighed.

'A different red?' Chaos turned an apple turquoise.

'Maybe. Nahhhh.' Discord turned an apple teal.

'Hey Discord?' Chaos turned an apple pink.

'What?' Pink.

'Why are your irises different sizes?' Ochre.

'Chaos.' Forest green.

'What?' Orange.

'No, dear Chaos. That's the answer. Chaos. My chaotic nature showing.' Silver.

'Ohh nice one. Oh okay then.' Glowing blue.

'Ah-ha! I knew ya'd come back,' Applejack came over. She looked at the apples. 'Ya'll are lucky this is all ya'll are doing, and on a date.' She handed them each a cup of cider, then walked off. But she, like Pinkie Pie, continued to watch. Chaos sniffed it.

'What is it?'

'Just drink it.' Discord began to drink his, and Chaos followed suit. It was awesome!

'So that's why you have all the different parts too?' Chaos asked after finishing.

Discord finished his with a sigh of contentment. 'Yes.'

'It's awesome.'

Before they knew it, they had changed all the apples. 'This did turn out to be rather fun,' Discord said, shocked. 'Why hadn't I thought of this?'

Chaos shrugged. 'I have no idea.'

'You are Chaos,' Discord said, lying down on the grass. 'You are likely to come up with some fun ideas I don't.'

'Nah,' Chaos said, yet again following suit. 'Just got lucky.'

'You're too modest.' Discord made a fist with his lion paw, and play punched Chaos. They both began to laugh.

'Not really.' She went to go play punch Discord.

'Not again!' Chaos stopped.

'What? Oh I'm just playing.'

'I know.' Discord began to tickle Chaos with his tail.

'Stop...it...right...now...' Chaos said, between laughs.

'Oh like you can stop me,' Discord said, smirking. 'Fire when ready.'

Chaos barely managed to play punch Discord.

'Oh you defeated me,' Discord said, then closed his eyes.

'Oh come on, you faker,' Chaos said, laughing.

He opened one eye. 'But I was defeated.'

Chaos rolled her eyes.

Applejack didn't know what to think. It was...cute...She shook her head to clear her mind. Discord and Chaos being cute? It just didn't add up. Still, she couldn't help but smile.

Whether she realizes it or not, she really likes him,' she thought. Same goes for him. I wonder how this will go. And Chaos isn't too bad. The apples are even kind of nice, once you get used to them.'

Chaos' 'antics' were actually starting to grow on Applejack. She had explained how harmless they were, and finally they had decided to leave it alone. The strange part was, without Applejack realizing it, Discord was somewhat growing on her. After all, this was just the sort of things Discord enjoyed as well.
________________________________________________________________________
The sun was setting, and the two had moved closer to each other without realizing it. Applejack walked out, and wordlessly gave them some apple fritters before leaving again. But not without musing on the date.

'Well, shucks, it does make sense. And if they do end up together, maybe Discord won't be so bad. Chaos was right, he has been behaving pretty good. For Discord, anyway. Ah sure do hope it works out.

'Oh, dear Chaos,' Discord said, nonchalantly.

'What?'

'I think it's going to rain.'

'There's not a cloud in the sky.'

Discord laughed. The sky right above them suddenly and quickly filled with cotton candy clouds as Discord got an umbrella and opened it. It opened upwards. In instinct, Chaos got an umbrella and opened it.

BOOM

There was a sudden downpour of chocolate milk. Discord got two glasses, and handed one to Chaos. They both filled up top to bottom, but this time Discord drank the chocolate milk. He threw his glass, and it exploded. Chaos decided to try, but her explosion caused black glitter. They ate the apple fritters.

Discord rolled his eyes. 'Even your explosions are kind of girly.'

'But, dear Discord, I am a girl.' Chaos laughed.

'Of course. But a girly girl?'

'Only slightly.'

'Chaos?'

'Yes?'

'The date's over.'

'No way!' Chaos turned, looking sad.

'Chaos?' Discord said with a strange, soft tone.

'Yes?' A slight excitement in her tone.

Discord leaned in, and gave Chaos a quick, small kiss. They both blushed.

'Uh...I'll meet you at Rarity's later,' Discord said. He grabbed the clouds in two handfuls, and without realizing it made them hearts. He handed Chaos one, then vanished. Chaos wanted to eat it, but decided to show Rarity first. She flew, whistfully.

'Oh darling, do tell,' Rarity said as Chaos flew in. She noticed the cotton candy heart and squeeled.

'Oh how adorable! So I'm taking it went well.'

'He...he...' Chaos said more, but it was so soft Rarity couldn't understand.

'Come again, darling.'

'I said he kissed me!' Chaos practically shouted.

Rarity gasped. 'Tell me everything!'

As Chaos ate the heart, which also tasted like fudge, she told Rarity about the whole date. Then, she made as many sweets as she could. Most of them didn't splat. As she did, Rarity spoke.

'Sounds lovely, darling. I wonder why he took off, though.' Chaos shrugged.

'Can you help me carry these?'

'Of course, darling.'

When they delivered the sweets, Chaos told Pinkie Pie all about it.

Pinkie Pie gasped. 'Sounds like it was so much fun! So are you going to do it again?'

Chaos felt herself panic. It was fun, but she wasn't sure. The room began to spin. Chaos took a deep breath, as Pinkie Pie and Rarity looked at her concerned.

'Yes.'

Back at Rarity's, Chaos waited for Discord. She was beginning to feel lonely.

Poof!

'I have returned,' Discord announced. He handed Chaos some flowers. 'Try these.'

'They're pretty.' Chaos ate them, slowly. 'And yummy too.' Chaos smiled.

'Discord?'

'Yes?' Some excitement crept into his voice..
