//------------------------------// // Just a normal day... // Story: An Unexpected Love // by Lightning Bolt VA //------------------------------// It was a bright sunny, summer day in the land of Equestria. A nice breeze flowing in the air. It wasn't too hot outside, nor too cold, it was one of the best days of the season. Everything in Equestria was running just fine, and the land had been at peace ever since Tirek was banished back into a cell never to be freed. Princess Celestia was sitting down, reading a good book, when she heard noise from the throne room of her castle. "Luna!" Celestia shouted. "Could you keep it down? I'm trying to read my favorite book." Princess Luna trotted in from the opposite direction of the throne room, coming from her own bedroom. "What ever are you talking about sister? I have been sleeping in my bed this whole time." Luna replied. The two sisters looked at each other, then they both looked near the throne room. "I wonder who it could be. It sounds.....How do I put it........Chaotic..." Princess Luna said, confused. Celestia and Luna looked at each other once more, then came to realization. "Discord." they both said in unison. Celestia got up from her chair and levitated her book back into the Royal Library. "Romeo and Juliet. A classic love story." Luna said looking at the book as it passed. "Yes, one of my favorites." Celestia replied. The two sisters smiled, then they both trotted into the throne room to face Discord once more. _____________________________________________________________________________________ "Discord, what ever is your meaning to break into the Royal Canterlot Castle?" Princess Luna said with a look of seriousness on her face. Discord smirked, then started laughing. "Oh, my dearest of friends! The 'Royal Sisters'! Princess Luna, Princess Celestia! Oh, it so nice to see you two again! It's been so long!" Discord said hugging the two alicorns. "You still did not answer our question, Discord." Celestia said, breaking away from the hug. "What gives you the right to just break into our castle?" "Oh, Twilight gave me a key to the castle. Since I am reformed, she trusted me enough to let me in whenever I would like!" Discord replied, smiling. "Twilight Sparkle would never do such a thing." Princess Luna said. "Where did you actually get that key?" Discord stopped smiling and had a blank look on his face for a second. Discord frowned, "I stole them from Twilight's purple cabinet in her bedroom. I'm sorry." Celestia could tell Discord was actually sorry, and not faking. Just the day before she had discovered the power to tell if a lie was being told. When she told Luna, she taunted her by saying, "Wow. You've turned into a 'Living Lie Detector' sister!" Celestia's powers had been growing for a long time. Thousands of years, in fact. Her powers grow every second. Every day she would discover a new power she had no idea she even had. Alicorn magic is different from other magic. It is one of the most power magics in the universe. She used to wield some of the most powerful magic in Equestria. The Elements Of Harmony were originally named 'The Elements Of Friendship' but were renamed 'The Elements Of Harmony'. They were named that because a sense of friendship, is like a sense of harmony. Friendship is also a form of love. Love is also a powerful magic as well. Friendship is wielded by the mane six, and love Princess Cadance and Shining Armor. Not wielding any of those two magics has changed Celestia. She has started to feel like she has no more power. But she knew if she ever died, Equestria would be in good hooves. Her and Luna have been good rulers for a long time, a LONG time, but she knew all things come to an end. Celestia knew that end would be long from then, maybe even centuries, but for then her and Luna would rule in peace and harmony. Celestia smiled a bit, "We forgive you Discord. But you still have no right breaking and entering. You want to be reformed don't you?" "Yes I do. But being reformed is so hard! Where's the chaos? Where's the excitement?" Discord said. "I believe you can find a way to have fun, without getting into trouble. You just need to experiment and find what you like to do." Luna said, smiling. "Well,how do I do that?!" Discord said. "The number one thing I love to do is anything chaotic!" "Well, you like that pony Fluttershy don't you?" Celestia said. Discord blushed. Discord and Fluttershy had been spending much time together since he had been reformed. They would always talk about what he was doing, and Fluttershy was always making sure he wasn't up to anything. If he was he would get the stare. "I-I would s-say I l-liked her.." Discord stuttered. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna started giggling. "We didn't mean have a crush on her, we meant liked her in general." Princess Celestia said. Discord sighed in relief and wiped his forehead. "I totally knew that." Discord said, still blushing of embarrassment. "Also, yes, I do. We chat most of the time. She asks me what I've been doing. She does it just to make sure I'm not up to anything." Just then a letter plopped down on Celestia's head out of nowhere. "Oh, look! A letter from Twilight Spa- No, wow! Who would have guessed! It is a letter from Fluttershy." Celestia said. "I'll just save it for later." Then the alicorn levitated the letter into the other room. A bell chimed from outside the castle. Discord teleported outside to check the Canterlot Clock, then he quickly teleported back into the castle. "5 o'clock! I'm meeting with Fluttershy! Do you mind?" Discord asked. "Not at all. But, do make sure you tell her about this incident. Alright?" Princess Luna said. Discord sighed, "Alright, alright. Fine. I will but if I end up getting the stare, it's on you two." "Fair enough." Celestia said looking at her sister. Discord dashed out of the castle and hurried to Fluttershy's cottage. Celestia and Luna trotted. back into the room they were in before. "You can only wonder how he does all this stuff." said Princess Celestia giggling. Both princesses continued to giggle as they went back to doing their normal routine.
