After enjoying a rather expensive meal together, Twilight and Cadence returned to the library area.
"Cadence, can I ask you something?" Twilight asked.
"Sure thing, Twilly. What's on your mind?" she replied.
"You know that book I showed you earlier?"
"Oh, Love's Melody. The little filly's book."
"I read through it and I was wondering, what is it like to be in love with Shining Armor?"
"Your brother is wonderful, Twilight. He's the kindest colt I've ever met. He's romantic, sweet, and cares for me with all of his heart, just like he cares for you with all of his heart."
"He is my BBBFF." Twilight smiled.
"And he'll always be." Cadence smiled at her. "He'll love us both and protect us with his life until the day comes he is too old to do so."
"I know he will. Cadence, what does it feel like just to around somepony who loves and cherishes you romantically?"
"Twilight, do you have a crush on somepony?" Cadence asked happily.
"Well, I do like somepony..." Twilight said with a slight blush. She had to be careful not to give away too much information or something horrible could happen. She didn't even want to think of those possibilities.
"How that's so cute, Twilight! Whose the colt?" Cadence asked excitedly.
"I'd rather not say. I'm too embarrassed to tell."
"I'm your foal sitter, Twilight. You can trust me with anything!" she smiled.
"I'm just too scared to say is all. I'd rather not tell anypony. At least not quite yet." Twilight replied.
"I respect that then. If you ever wanna talk about colts and love tonight, you know where to find me!" Twilight let out a rather long yawn, causing Cadence to worry. "Are you still sleepy, Twilight?" Twilight simply shook her head yes. "You should get back to sleep then."
"Good night, Cadence. Are you staying overnight?" Twilight asked.
"I am. I have to make sure you're ok and nothing happens to you, right?" Cadence laughed.
"Right. Good night, Cadence." Twilight said.
"Good night. Sweet dreams." Cadence said as Twilight teleported herself upstairs. "I better let Tia know about Twilight's condition." Cadence said as she went to write a letter to Celestia.
Twilight got back under her covers for the third time today and went directly back to sleep and back into her dreams.
She appeared in Appleloosa, just like she had told Discord where to meet her before she woke up an hour ago. Twilight began walking when she noticed a long transparent sleeve on each of her forehoofs.
"What the hay?" Twilight said as she glanced around to see what was on her person. She wore a thin blue dress with transparent sleeves in the front. On her back hoofs, she wore a simple pair of black cowpony boots. Twilight laughed. "Oh Discord. You always want me to blend in just right with the scene."
"That's right, my dear." he said as he appeared next to her, causing Twilight to fall over laughing. He was wearing the same outfit that she was wearing too. He smiled that he had made her laugh.
"W-Why are you wearing a dress as well?" Twilight spoke between laughs.
"What? Can't I look just as good as you?" he asked.
"Well, no pony can ever look good as me. I'm me." Twilight smiled.
"You have a point there." he snapped his fingers and a burst of light blinded Twilight. The light disappeared instantly to reveal that Discord had turned himself into a mirror image of Twilight! "There-" he changed his voice to match her's. "-now I look and sound as good as you."
Twilight laughed at her mirror image. "Well, you may look like me, but you aren't good as the original Twilight!" she laughed.
"And the original Twilight can't do this either." Discord stomped his hoof on the ground, causing a tree to grow. On the trees were an unusual muffin fruits.
"What the hay is kind of tree?" Twilight asked.
"A chocolate muffin tree." Discord Twilight smiled at her.
"A chocolate muffin tree. You never cease to amaze me." Twilight laughed as she levitated a muffin off the tree and took a bite out of it. "This is good. It tastes just like the roses we had at the restaurant."
"Oh, I forgot to mention they're chocolate on the outside, roses on the inside." Discord Twilight smiled again.
"Creative idea. Delicious one too." Twilight giggled as she devoured the rest of the muffin.
"You are so mare-like, aren't you?" he taunted.
"I may be a mare but since I'm with you, being mare-like is the least of my worries. Besides, I think mare-like ponies probably bore you, correct?" Twilight asked.
"You are right. You're starting to know me better and better." Discord said as he turned himself back to his normal, mismatched self. "You deserve a reward for guessing correctly. Twilight Sparkle!" he poofed on himself a suit and a slick back gray hairstyle. "You have won a fabulous prize! We have up for grabs is either a kiss from moi or a wonderful new taxi? Which prize would you like?" he said happily.
"I think," she opened her wings and flew up to his face. "I want..." Discord started to blush as he was positive he knew which one she was gonna choose.
She got close enough to be able to whisper to him. "...the taxi."
Discord's face fell. He thought she was going to choose the more obvious choice. A small snicker came from Twilight. She flew down to the ground and couldn't hold in anymore and busted out laughing.
"You thought I was gonna kiss you, weren't you?" she laughed.
"You evil mare you are, Twilight." he said with an embarrassed blush on his face.
"Besides, only a gentlecolt deserves my kisses." Twilight smirked.
"Oh Twilight, you know a gentlecolt can still be chaotic, right? That sounds just like me."
Twilight realized that he had got her with that one. Not all gentlecolts were elegant, but they could still be childish and create chaos, just like the creature she loved. "Oh, alright, Discord. You got me with that one."
"I should get an apology since you tricked me." he smirked.
"Then I should get multiple apology gifts too since you've tricked me at least three times today!" Twilight argued back.
"I think your dinner and desserts were my 'apology gifts' to you, Twilight dear." he said as he used air quotes. "Well, I would like my apology gift now!" he smirked again.
"And what would make the great God of chaos forgive me for my horrible trick?" Twilight asked mockingly.
"That kiss you were supposed to give me." he smirked. "But...not just any kiss. I want it my way."
Twilight looked at him in confusion. He had never said that to her before. "Your way? How do I kiss you in your way?"
He grabbed the clothed Twilight into his arms and fell down onto the ground so now that were both lying in the desert dirt. Twilight looked at him in surprise. He then pointed above her head, she did look above. Above her head, Discord had changed the fluff of his tail into a tiny thing of mistletoe.
"It seems like you have to kiss me now." smirked Discord as one of his fingers from the lion paw ran down Twilight's cheek. "Well, I'm waiting for you to apologize to me."
"Oh, alright." she said as she slowly leaned in towards his face and closed her eyes. Her lips met up with his and she felt happy. She opened her eyes slightly to meet his red and yellow eyes. But she slowly opened them, she saw a pair of purple eyes staring back at her! Twilight opened her eyes all the way to see that she was literally kissing herself!
"Hey there, pretty mare. Come here often?" the other Twilight said as she batted her eyes.
Twilight screamed in shock and fell backwards off of the other Twilight. The other Twilight suddenly broke out into laughter. Twilight stared at her.
"Discord! That wasn't funny!" she yelled.
"It was priceless! You thought you were kissing me but you were kissing yourself! That was beyond funny!" Discord Twilight laughed.
"What did you do that for?" she asked annoyed.
"If you pull a trick on the god of chaos, you'll get one pulled right on yourself." he smirked.
"But I thought that kiss was gonna make up for it!" she pouted.
"Nope. I only did it so you would fall for my prank and you did!" he laughed again, harder than before.
"You big meanie." Twilight said with a pout.
"Oh Twilight." he said as he turned back to himself. "How about I give you a kiss, no shape-shifting this time. How about it?" he asked, laughter still clear in his voice.
"You Pinkie Promise you won't do any funny business? No mistletoe on your tail or any shape-shifting?" Twilight said annoyed.
"I promise." he smiled at her. "Come on now." he laid down back in the dirt and patted his stomach. "Come here and I'll make up for it." he said sappy-like.
"Oh alright." Twilight said as flew up onto his stomach. "No funny business at all!"
"I won't. Now come on. Pucker those little lips of yours." he said as he grabbed Twilight's head and pushed her cheeks inward, making her face look like a fish's.
Twilight pulled his eagle hand off of her using her magic and simply closed her eyes and slightly puckered her lips. She slowly leaned into Discord and felt his lips touched her's. She opened up one eye just to make sure he hadn't done anything. She saw the same horns and head, so she deepened the kiss on him, which he happily accepted from her.
They pulled away a moment later, a smile on Twilight's face. Discord simply smirked at her smile. "Was the kiss that good, Twilight?" he asked.
"It was knowing that you kept you're promise." she smiled.
"Well, I don't usually, but for you, I'll make an exception every once an awhile." he sounded bored when he spoke the sentence.
"Why is that a bad thing?" she asked.
"I'm not the type that keeps promises." he spoke.
Twilight giggled. "That's alright. You don't need to perfect. I love you for who you are."
"Oh really?" he taunted.
"Well, of course. If I didn't, why would I want to be with you in my dreams, mhm?"
"Bored of reality, perhaps?" he suggested.
"Well, a bit. But I love you for you and I just love your pranks, even if you pull them on me." she said slightly annoyed.
"Could you be any more lovely-dovey? Gag me already!" he joked.
"Oh ha ha, Discord. You know you don't mind it at all." smiled Twilight.
"Have you forgotten about the riddle?" whispered a voice.
"The riddle! I have to solve it!" Twilight spoke aloud.
"That riddle again?" Discord said.
"I don't care if Celestia and all of Equestria comes after me! I want you free now!" Twilight panicked, completely changing from the way she was before.
"Twilight, you need to calm down. You're overreacting." Discord told her.
"I want you free this instant or I'll just keep sleeping more and more just to be here with you!"
"Well, you better get to work on it now, shouldn't you?" laughed Discord.
