"Twilight, wake up." called Cadence voice through Twilight's room, waking up the purple alicorn. "We wanna spend a little bit of time with you while you're staying in Canterlot." she smiled.
Twilight opened her eyes completely to see both Cadence and Shining Armor in her bedroom. "But I have to study my magic, it's important that I study my magic." said Twilight.
"Twilly, you can study whatever magic you're learning later. I wanna spend time with my little sister. I didn't get to really spend it with you at the wedding or the reception." said Shining Armor. "At least spend the morning with Cadence and me. In the afternoon, you can go back to your studies. Please Twilly?"
Twilight smiled at her brother. "I guess I'll spend the morning with you and Cadence. But as soon as it's noon, I really must get back to my magic studies." she said desperately.
Twilight hopped out of bed and shook her head in an attempt to get rid of her bed mane. After shaking out the bed mane, Twilight was ready to go. She was about to walk out the door when Cadence spoke.
"Twilight, why are you so into your magic studies right now? I've never seen you so into your studies before." she said. "Is this some powerful magic or what?"
"It's just really interesting magic and I wanna learn it as quickly as possible." said Twilight. "It's really important that I do learn it."
"What exactly are you learning, Twilight." asked Cadence. "It must be some interesting magic to get you into your studies so bad like this."
Twilight gulped. "I-I'm afraid I can't say what I'm learning, Cadence. It's between me and Princess Celestia. It's some very powerful stuff we're learning here and no pony can know what kind of magic I'm learning about."
Cadence tapped the ground with one of her hoofs. "Ok then. If it's top secret then, I guess it's none of our business then."
"Glad you understand. Let's go spend the morning together, you slow ponies!" Twilight smiled as she walked out of the bedroom and her siblings followed right after her.
They arrived in the dining room where Princess Luna was already enjoying her breakfast. The three sat near the moon princess as servant ponies brought the three each some breakfast. It was some donuts, baked fresh in the castle kitchen.
"These look incredible." Shining Armor said as he licked his lips. "Don't these donuts look mouth watering, Twilly?" Twilight didn't respond to him. "Twilly, are you there?"
He glanced at Twilight, who was completely ignoring everypony around her and her horn and crown were glowing as she was causing the knife in front of her to melt like she had did with the stone yesterday.
"Twilly?" he tapped the purple alicorn. "What spell are you practicing?"
Twilight jumped in alarm as her horn and crown instantly stopped glowing. She turned around to stare into her brother's blue eyes with her purple eyes with had a small ringlet of red touching the purple iris. "Oh! I'm just testing my magic skills is all! Nothing fancy here!" she said, slightly panicked.
Shining Armor gave his little sister an unusual look. "Twilly, is this magic thing really that important that you need to practice at the table?"
"It was only a quick melting spell. Nothing powerful at all." Twilight said with a large smile when she noticed the donuts. "Oh donuts! Chocolate ones! They look yummy!" Her horn glowed as she brought a donut to her mouth and bit into it. "These are great donuts! You guys should really try them!"
"Well, I'm not gonna sit here hungry." said Cadence as she bit into the donut. "Twilight's right, these are really good. They seem better than usual. That's always a sign of improvement!" Cadence said happily.
"That's good to hear." said Shining Armor as he ate his donut. "After breakfast, why don't the three of us go into Canterlot and go shopping? I'm sure you two would love that."
"That sounds like fun!" smiled Cadence. "I need to get out of the palace every once in a while anyways!"
"That sounds fun!" Twilight smiled. "More opportunities to practice my magic." she realized what she had said and quickly changed her answer. "I mean-to spend with my two older siblings!" she said with a large grin.
"Ok." Shining Armor said as he pretended not to notice Twilight's first comment. "I'm done with breakfast and it seems you two are as well. To Canterlot!" he smiled.
"Canterlot! Canterlot!" Twilight cheered happily like a school filly.
"Well, she sure seems happy." Cadence laughed. "I've never seen her so happy to go into town before."
"That's because she's going there with us." Shining Armor said as his own horn glowed and transported the three of them from the dining room and onto a sidewalk that was in the heart of Canterlot, lined with shops and buildings. "Where should we go first? Twilly, do you have any suggestions?"
Shining Armor turned his head to his sister to see that she was once again practicing her magic. This time she was practicing melting the tiny bits of stone that was on the floor. But she wasn't simply melting the tiny bits of rock, she was also singing as well. Shining Armor tapped his sister, once again scaring her and stopping the spell she had been performing.
"Twilly, you need to stop thinking about your magic and just have fun with me and Cadence. Just forget about your magic this morning and once it's noon, then you can worry about your magic all you want. Just have fun with us this morning, ok?" Shining Armor asked his sister.
Twilight looked up at him. "I'll stop worrying about my magic and have fun with you guys." she smiled.
"Just until noon, ok?"
"You got it, BBBFF." Twilight replied with a slightly bigger smile.
"Hey you two! Look at this interesting flower arrangement in the store window here!" called Cadence, who was about two stores down.
Twilight and Shining Armor walked over to where Cadence was. She was looking at some unusual blue flowers in the window that seemed to be in a glass case.
"That's an interesting flower, isn't it?" asked Cadence. "It's says on the little name card it's called Poison Joke. That's an interesting name for a flower, isn't it?"
"Wait a minute, I've see that flower before!" Twilight said in shock. "That flower literally plays a joke on you!"
"I remember hearing about these flowers too. If you stand in them, something happens to you that is supposed to be a joke."
"I can't believe there is actually a plant like that in Equestria. I can see why they would be in a glass box." said Cadence.
"It is unusual plant, isn't it?" Twilight said with interest. "It seems so...chaotic."
"Well, let's forget about that little plant and take you ladies to a different shop. Where do you two wanna start first?" he asked.
"Let's look at the Canterlot Boutique. They always have the cutest outfits there!" smiled Cadence.
"To the Canterlot Boutique!" Twilight said as she walked to the next building, which just happened to be the Canterlot Boutique.
The three walked inside the building and instantly noticed the stunning fashions for mare and stallion alike. They looked at all the outfits that were presented before them. Twilight walked around the store abit when she noticed an outfit that made her stop dead in her tracks. It was a wedding gown, white as snow with a touch of black around the hem. The dress wasn't as...pure as any other wedding gowns she had seen before.
Twilight suddenly remembered last night when Discord had asked her to be his goddess. Was that a marriage proposal he had asked her? She hadn't thought of it like that when he asked her. She thought he had asked if she would be his forever, but not marriage. Twilight stared at the dress when Cadence walked over.
"You like that dress, Twilight?" Cadence asked.
Twilight shook her head and looked at Cadence. "I do. It sure is something, isn't it?"
"It sure is different, I'll say. Do you wanna get married someday, Twilight?"
"Perhaps. After the right stallion comes along that is." Twilight smiled.
"You'll find him." Cadence said happily.
"Are you sure about that?"
"I'm the princess of love, Twilight. I know you will. When you find him and marry him, I'll make sure that you get a dress like this one. You'll look amazing at your own wedding."
Twilight looked at the dress and blushed slightly. "I sure will, won't I?" she said with a happy smile.
Cadence saw the look on Twilight's face, knowing that she was going to start daydreaming about her future marriage. "I'll let you be then and admire that dress some more. I'll come for you in a bit then." she said as she walked away from the lovesick mare.
Twilight gazed happily at the dress and began to see the wedding in her head. It would be in the Canterlot Gardens where she had freed him with dancing buffaloes as the musical entertainment and the actual wedding area itself decorated like one large party with colorful balloons and party hats and sunglasses on the statues that surrounded the wedding area.
"Please stand for the bride is about to enter." called the pastor, whom was Discord who had split himself into two.
All heads turned as Twilight, wearing the dress she had been looking at in the store, walking down the aisle as the Cutie Mark Crusaders threw Poison Joke petals down the aisle. Twilight walked down the aisle carrying a bouquet of oddly colored flowers before she reached her two to-be husbands.
"We are here to bring together eternal chaos together and whoever doesn't like this marriage, must speak now or live in regret by not having saying anything forever." Discord laughed.
"I object to this horrible excuse of a wedding!" called out Rainbow Dash from the back row. "I can't let this marriage go through! This is a crime against all ponykind!"
"I'm with Rainbow! This isn't right and that's the honest truth!" called out Applejack.
Twilight looked at her friends and wondered why they were against her marriage to the stallion she loved, even if he was only part pony that is. More voices from her other friends and family began yelling at the outrage that was the marriage between Twilight and Discord.
"Twilight!" called a voice. "Twilight, we're leaving the shop now." It was Cadence. She looked at Twilight to see she now had tears in her eyes. "Twilight, is something the matter?" Cadence put her hoof on Twilight's shoulder, causing the alicorn to look up, tears fresh in her eyes.
"I'm sorry. I just had a bad thought come to me is all. I'm ok, really I am." Twilight said with a smile. "Let's keep shopping! I'm really having a good time!"
The rest of the morning, Twilight spent time with her two siblings going shopping and goofing around with them. The three reached the castle just as the palace clock chimed that it was now noon.
"Thanks for the great time you guys! I have to get back to my studies now! Bye!" Twilight said as she ran away from her older siblings and towards the Canterlot Gardens.
Twilight ran into the gardens and made her way immediately to the statue of Discord. She stared up at the large statue of him and smiled. This time, she was going to free him. This isn't a dream. This is reality. Now is the time for him to be free, eternally.
Twilight closed her eyes and caused her horn and the crown's gem to begin glowing slightly. She opened her eyes back up and opened her mouth instead.
"Order one way, chaos another, my voice, my song, shall set thy free, forever and protected against the Elements of Harmony. Thou will be able to begin his chaos reign once again and with me as his eternal chaos goddess." she chanted.
Twilight began singing a lullaby like melody, her horn and crown glowing now brighter than before. As her voice sang, the magic from the crown combined with that from her horn and bursted out in a blinding ray of light. The light touched the statue and began eating away at it, causing it to crackle and start falling to the pedestal as rubble.
She kept singing the lullaby like tune until she heard a sound that sounded like an explosion. Twilight stopped singing and saw a large pile of stone on the pedestal. Twilight's face soon supported the biggest grin it had in the longest time. He was free! The god of chaos and disharmony was finally free!
"Discord! Discord, where are you?" she asked aloud happily. She got no response. "Ok, no joking around, Dizzy. Where are you?" Again, she got no response.
"Twilight Sparkle?" called a voice.
Twilight let out a sad sigh, knowing it wasn't his voice, but that of Princess Luna's instead.
"Good afternoon, Princess Luna." Twilight said sadly.
Luna looked at the pile of rubble that Twilight was still staring at. Luna smiled. "I see you finally freed him! Couldn't wait a minute longer I supposed! Where is he anyways?"
"He's not here." Twilight replied sadly.
"Where did he go? To cause some chaos already?" Luna joked.
"I don't know where he went. After I turned the statue into rubble, he didn't appear at all. I tried calling his name, but he didn't show up. Not at all." Twilight said as tears formed in her eyes. "What if my magic was too powerful? What if destroyed him as well?"
"Do not cry, Twilight Sparkle. He is here somewhere, but he'll return later. He might have went out to create some chaos. He'll be back." said Luna reassuringly. "Let us head inside and get you back to your studies. That might keep your mind relaxed."
Twilight looked at Luna and then back at the pile of rubble. "I guess I should go back and study. He'll be able to find me anyways."
Luna escorted Twilight back inside the palace. Twilight walked the rest of the way to her bedroom alone as Luna simply watched the purple alicorn walk away from her. Twilight reached her bedroom and went through the doors. She walked over to her desk and pulled out a book from the shelves at random. She set the book down on her desk. When she caught glance of the book's title, she broke down instantly, the tears from before hadn't really left her eyes. The book's title read, "The Chaotic Reign."
"Dizzy, where are you? Why haven't you come back yet? Why?" she balled out in between her sobs. She stared at the ground as tears fell from her eyes and landed on the carpet below.
"Missed me, my dear?" called out a voice.
Twilight looked up in surprise to see Discord standing before her. She instantly got up and hugged him with all her might, tears still running down her cheeks, but this time they were happy tears.
"I thought you were gone! Why didn't you come back when I freed you?" she cried into his chest, her wings flapping at rapid speed, as she clunged to him.
"I had to pick up something." he said.
Twilight pulled her face away from his chest and looked up at him, her eyes still had tears in them, but they were starting to clear. "W-What did you need to pick up?" she asked.
Discord pulled the tear stained alicorn off of him. Now that Twilight had all four hooves on the ground, he snapped his eagle claw. In a burst of light appeared a gem. It wasn't an ordinary gem though. It was a purple and red mixed gem that was shaped like a heart with two small bumps on the top of it. It shined in the afternoon sun like a diamond.
"This is what I had to pick up. A chaotic jewel for a chaotic bride." he smiled.
"You mean you want to-" Twilight spoke before his lion paw covered her mouth.
"When I asked you in your dream to become my goddess, I was basically asking you to marry me." he smiled. "Is the answer still the same as before?"
Twilight looked up him happily. "Of course it is for I am your goddess of chaos." she smiled.
