Don’t call me normal. That’s like an insult.” He joked. I smiled. “You know, Xenos...” He started. “When we first met Dave...you said you once had been human. So you were...like Dave?” I chuckled a little. “Well, sort of.” “Do all humans look like that?” “No, not really. I mean, first of all, humans don’t have wings normally. Second there are also female human-beings. “How do they look like?” The draconequus asked curiously. “Well, they’re...sort of...more beautiful...some of them...oh, and they have boobs.” “Boobs?” “Never mind...and don’t read my mind now...” “Ah, be sure I wo-WHAT THE BUCK, WHAT IS THIS???” “Discord, you promised!” He ignored that. “And humans actually find...that attractive?” “Well...sort of, but seriously stop reading minds. It’s evil.” “Yeah, whatever. What do we do now?” “I guess, I will like...try to set things straight with Twilight.” “Oh good luck then. I will do...things...I don’t know yet, bye!” He waved and then disappeared. For some reason I thought his behaviour being more...strange than usual, but what do I know? He’s the spirit of chaos after all. He has to act random sometimes. I shrugged and went to the library. I stopped before the entrance to Twilight’s tree and took a deep breath. “Just be nice. She will understand.” I entered. Nopony seemed to be there. I called for Twilight and Spike. “Coming.” Spike answered. He came down the stairs and waved at me. “Hey, Xenos. Haven’t seen you in a while.” He greeted. “...yeah, about a day or something.” “Whatever. What’s up?” “I actually was looking for Twilight...” I responded. “Oh, she’s not here right now. She went to meet Applejack or something like that.” “Oh...” That was disappointing. “What did you want to talk about with her? Or were you just here to do...things you two do when you are alone.” I blushed. “Don’t tell me you’re observing us!” I quickly drove that thought away. It was ridiculous. Spike, being a crazy stalker. That would be just too weird. “I wanted to talk about that Discord-“I stopped and looked at Spike again. “Spike, you’re my friend, right?” I asked. “Yeah, sure...” “I want an honest answer. What do you think about that whole Discord thing?” “Well...thing is...he’s still the spirit of chaos after all...you weren’t there...you didn’t see what he did. After all he had done in the past it’s simply hard to believe him.” I sighed. “If the others would just give him a chance...He lives at my house for nearly two days now, and even I can see that he has changed. He’s still crazy, no doubt, but he isn’t evil.” I tried to explain. “I know what you want to say. It’s just that Twilight...when she and the others encountered him first he nearly managed to defeat them and tear their friendship apart. If I was her, I would act the same, I think.” I thought about that. Maybe Spike was right. That would mean that if Twilight would spend some time with Discord, she would probably see him in a different light. I I could only convince her to actually spend time with him. Right on cue, the door opened and Twilight entered. She looked at me, seeming to be surprised. “I guess, I leave you two alone now.” Spike said and left the library. I was alone with Twilight now. I just wanted to pull myself together and talk about that Discord thing, when she suddenly rushed at me and kissed on the mouth. I was surprised by the wild welcome. Then I noticed something strange and backed off. “Eww, Twilight! What have you been eating? Your breath smells like horseapples!” Then I realised what I had just said. However Twilight didn’t seem to be offended or angry. She just smiled sheepishly. “Oops. Looks like I haven’t brushed my teeth in a while.” She grinned. I decided not to ask any further questions, but change the subject to Discord. At least she seemed to be in good temper. Best conditions. At least that’s what I thought. “Soooo, Twilight. There’s this thing I wanted to talk with you about...” I began carefully. “And that would be?” She asked with a smile. “Discord...I want you to spend some time with him...He really has changed. I know it’s difficult for you...but, please try it.” I finished, took a deep breath and looked at her hopefully. The way her expression changed from friendly too mad, was honestly frightening. I backed off as Twilight got closer to me and snorted. “Why can’t YOU understand it??? He is the spirit of disharmony. He’s evil and he will always be. You’re just too naive to see it. Wake up, from your stupid little dream and face reality!” She snapped. I was shocked by the harshness of her words. Then my eyes narrowed. I felt this incredible anger grow again. I always thought I could choke that feeling down, but I couldn’t right now. I wanted to hurt somepony’s feelings now! “What in Celestia’s name, is your motherbucking problem, Twilight? Discord has changed. Just because you’re a little bucking smart ass, doesn’t mean you’re right. You’re just too arrogant to admit that you’re wrong and guess what? Pinkie Pie is already friends with who you call “will always be evil”! How you like THAT!” I spat at her. That was way harsher than I intended, but at that moment I just felt it to be right. I looked at her with a grim smile. I expected her to break out in tears, or apologize or just turn her head away...but...she acted different...a lot different. In fact she just stared at me, with that frightening mad expression and then yelled: “If that’s what you think, then we should end this relationship, now!!! Don’t you ever dare to come back again!” I was stunned. I was expecting a reaction, but not that... You’ll probably think that I cried now. Wrong! I was way too angry for crying. I just snorted, spit on the floor and turned around. “Selfish bitch!” I mumbled. I was just about to go, when she suddenly added: “Oh, and know what? I faked EVERY orgasm!” That was mean. I rushed out and shut the door. I was bristling with anger. I let my anger out on a defenceless newspaper. I picked it up with magic and set it on fire. Then I stomped on the ground and returned home. On the way I realised what I had just done. My anger flushed away and was replaced by bitter sadness. “We-we-...We broke up...We really broke up. I...simply...lost...her...” It felt like my brain had just realised what had actually happened. Now I didn’t feel like destroying things. I felt like crying. And that’s what I did...I cried. I cried and sobbed and cried again. All the way home. I needed some sleep now. Unfortunately something had happened during my absence. Something that would usually cheer me up. But now I just couldn’t be happy. Not now... END OF CHAPTER 7 Author's note: Now that the whole crossover thing is over, we get back to the normal short chapters. Have fun.
