"Well you're going to have to deal with it for a few more minutes, Discord!" I let out a bored sigh. Seriously, I'm bored to tears! Tears are coming out of my eyes! "Please Rarity, let me go, I haven't done anything to you!" I gulp as she grins and turns around to get some more gems. "Well you did make me fall in love with a rock." "Hey, that was hilarious, this is just... torture!" Of course, she giggles at my whining. Well not really whining, more like complaining if anything, but that's besides the point. "Rarity, if I may," I calmly stated, "WHY IS THIS TAKING SO LONG?!" "Oh calm down, Discord! I'll have you know I work faster than most fashion ponies, so you're lucky it's me doing your suit and not somepony else." "But it's just so boring!" "Well then, you'll just have to learn how to relax once in a while." "I'm pretty sure I know how to relax seeing as how I was immobilized for over a thousand years." Once again, she giggles at what I consider to be torture. I really do need to learn how to sit back and relax while I'm free though. "I understand Discord, but you're acting like a little foal about all this." I let out a sigh because, well, she's right... "Look, I know you're nervous about your date with Twilight, seeing as how you like her, but-" "Whoa! I like her? When did that happen? I want it to go well, but only because she deserves something nice after what I put her through." "Stand up please." I do so and wait for the white mare to continue. "Discord, I can see it in your eyes. You simply adore her!" "Do not!" Funnily enough, we both let out sighs at the exact same time, but obviously for different reasons. "Discord, I'll drop it if you wear a bow tie." "A bow tie?! No way, I'd rather go back in my prison!" "Ugh, then at least STAND STILL SO I CAN MEASURE YOU!" Oh Celestia, I feel frightened all of a sudden. Perhaps it's best not to upset her when it comes to making clothes... "Alright, fine." I'm trying my best to stay still, but the boring atmosphere is like an itch that I need to get at. "There!" "R-really? You're done?" "Yes, but I need you to stay so I can get your opinions on the clothes." "So if I hadn't been fidgeting for the past two hours, I might be gone by now..." "Precisely, but it was simply too much fun to see you freaking out over nothing." "Oh my... twice! I've been trolled twice today!" "Well maybe it will get you to calm down. You need to be on your best behavior tonight!" "Rarity, I already know that, and I will be, but still, how have I been trolled twice?!" "Simple. By giving up chaos, you've made yourself an easy target for us." "Ugh, you're just lucky I haven't turned the lot of you into an assortment of fruits and vegetables." Odd, she's giggling. Maybe she finds the idea funny? Well I already have an idea on who I'll do it to, since I know it'll entertain her. "Say Rarity, what do you think of Prince Blueblood?" She doesn't even need to say anything, I can already see it in her eyes. She despises him. "That's what I thought. I was wondering, how would you like it if I turned him into a lamp shade? Or perhaps a peacock?" As I say this, Rarity bursts out laughing and I join in after a moment, happy I've finally gotten some full blown laughter out of her. "Rarity, may I say, it is surprisingly fun to converse with somepony such as you." "Why thank you Discord. It means a lot that somepony thinks I'm worth talking to." "The fact that you say it like that makes me think you don't have many friends outside of the bearers, correct?" Sadly enough, she nods at my question, and I can't help but feel horrible for having asked it. "Well I hope that you can see me as a friend as well Rarity. You're surprisingly the most complex pony I've ever met." "What ever do you mean darling?" "Well, you can be generous at times, but you've let it be your downfall before. Need I remind you of the gala dresses?" She lets out a gasp as I bring that up, and I think I know why. "Don't ever mention those monstrosities!" "Yes, well what I'm trying to say is that you're very lady-like, but at the same time, you would get dirty to help your friends, which is more than can be said for those high society snobs up in Canterlot..." "Thank you Discord. That means a lot to me, especially coming from somepony who used to be my enemy." "Well I'm trying to put that behind me now. Also, can I take a look at the suits now?" "Yes," she says while pulling out three different mannequins styled to fit my physique, "here they are." "Before I look, how did you manage to get them done so fast? I meant to look at the designs, if anything." "Oh Discord, you act as if it was a challenge!" "Right, I forgot who I'm talking to, but I guess I'll take a look now." Okay, I'm going to have to examine each one carefully. The first one is white, which I like as a suit color, but the interior is red, as are the shoes, and I've always liked blue better, which brings me to the second suit. It's dark blue, with a black and white interior and black shoes. But it doesn't scream 'chaotic mastermind'. The last one is brown, with a red interior and red shoes, and I can't help but feel this might be the one. "I'm thinking the brown one, but I also like the blue one..." "Well, I for one think the brown would suit you better. The brown matches your fur color and the red brings out your eyes." Well, she is the fashionista, so she would know best. "Yeah, I think I'll take the brown one." "Excellent choice darling. Would you like to try it on?" Instead of responding, I snap my talons and the suit appears on me. Looking in her mirror, I find myself surprisingly dashing. "Yeah, this is definitely the one. But I don't have any bits to pay for it..." "Oh please Discord, this is for a good friend, now go on and get back to the library." I nod my head, snap my talons, thereby removing the suit, and decide to maybe take in some of the scenery. So instead of teleporting out, I open the door and walk my way back to the library, whistling all the way.
