//------------------------------// // Stone // Story: Luna's Dream Adventures // by Moonlit Path //------------------------------// "Is anypony there?" Luna called out into the empty garden. Luna had located dream magic telling her somepony was having a bad dream, but she couldn't tell who it was, whitch is very uncommon. "It is so peaceful here. Wait this is the Canterlot castle gardens." She told herself looking around she noticed a statue that hasn't been there is a while. "Discord? Could somepony be having a memory?" She asked herself "A little help please" a raspy voice called out "I can help you, if you come out of hiding." Luna called back "I am not hiding" "Then where are you." She asked with a small chuckle "Over here" The voice called out "There is not one location your voice is comming from. You sound like you are in a cave." Luna explained a getting a little annoyed "Look to your left." "I don't see anypony. Wait Discord?" She asked in pure shock. "Yes, Can you please help me now?" He asked irritated but thankful "Of course." And with that Luna cast a undo spell, turning him back into his normal mix-matched self. "Thank you Lulu" Discord started streaching like a cat. "No matter how many times you are turned to stone, it never gets any better." He explained with a grin "Is everything ok?" "Yes. Well other then this dream, I have to say it is quite irritating being turned to stone when you didn't do anything wrong." The draconaquess explained trying not to laugh "If everything is ok, then why are you having a nightmare?" Luna asked with a "you can't get away" glare "I don't know." He admitted. "What where you doing when you fell asleep?" "I was studying new spells for my chaoes magic. I must have done the wrong spell or something, because I don't even remember falling asleep." He explained climbing up into a tree like a snake "What else did you do today?" Luna asked curiously while flying up to eyelevel with Discord "Other then my tea party with Fluttershy, nothing." Luna started giggling a little. "I'm honestly suprised that the spirt of chaoes could have a nightmare." "Well I for one am honored" He snapped his talons and a trophy of him appeared with the discrption "number 1 god of chaos" under it. "I don't get how this registered as a nightmare. You seem perfectly fine to me." Luna joked in a mocking tone, going back down to the ground "I'm not sure either. I have to admit, I haven't had a dream where I was turned to stone for a while." "Then why? Can you remember anything else you did today?" She asked a little concerned "I'm not..." before he could finish their world fell to black. "Discord!" Luna yelled jumping up in the wake world "Princess, what's wrong?" Her Lunar guard asked in concern "I need to go. I have a feeling my friend is in trouble." She explained before teliporting away "Please, try a diffrent spell Twilight." Fluttershy begged "I have tried every possible one I know, that could help." Twilgiht fell to the ground in exhustion. "How did this happen....." the unicorn was cut off my a knock on the door. "Princess Luna." Fluttershy exclaimed in relief "My opologies to wake you Fluttershy, but I am looking for Discord. Have you seen him." The alicorn asked with a hint of worry in her voice "He is over here. Please, you have to do something." Fluttershy whimpered. It was then Luna noticed Discord turned to stone in the middle of her reading area. "What happened?" She asked in disbelief "He was studying a few spells, and somehow turned himself to stone again. Twilight has done everything she can think of, but she, she....." The pegasus trailed off, trying not to cry again. "Let me see." Luna lit her horn and examined the statue top to bottom in hopes of discovering the spell he used. "I'm sorry, I don't know this spell. I will try my best to undo it though." After about 10 minutes, Luna gave up. "I, I am so sorry. I can't undo this. I will contact Celestia, perhaps she will have better luck." "He is going to be ok. Right princess?" Twilight asked with a slight tremor in her voice "Yes, as soon as we can undo this, he will be just fine." Luna assered before turning to the statue again. "Seriosly, you had to turn yourself into stone? If you wanted it that bad, I could have happily done it." She mocked in disbelief "Honestly, when we first freed him I didn't care if he was free or not, but now I can't imagine a world without him. Even if he makes be want to set him on fire, and feed him to a dragon sometimes." Twilight admitted "I understand. He is the spirit of chaoes but life has been so much more entertaining since he appeared." Luna explained thinking of the last time she saw him, and how he turned the walls of the castle to marshmallows for a snack. "You two really mean it?" Fluttershy asked in disbelief "Yes" Luna and Twilight recited in unison Fluttershy started giggling "I told you, you were being rediculous." "What are you talking about." Twilight asked very confused "Long story." "DISCORD!" The two asked in suprise "What, but how, you, here, you, stone, over there. How?" Twilights' mind was attempting to process what was going on, but couldn't quite get it. "I was telling Fluttershy how you two and Tia wouldn't care if I was turned to stone again. She said I was being rediculous. Rainbow is still 50/50." the draconaquess explained with a huge smle "Fluttershy, you were in on this?" Twilight asked in shock "Yes. I'm so sorry, it was the only way I could think of to get rid of his fears." she explained in a whisper, and compressing herself to make her seem smaller With that Luna teliported her and Twilight to the golden oaks library. "Thank you. Good night princess." Twilight gave the moon princess a hug before heading upstairs and Luna went back to the castle. "Yeah life is definatly more interesting with him around." Luna giggled to herself "Why thank you." "Discord, go back to the cottege before I actually turn you to stone." Luna said annoyed With that discord disapeared with a note in his place. "You know you love me."
