A Swift End

“What?” Twilight’s head darted around frantically. “Princess Celestia? Where are you?”

“Oh, I’m right here,” came Princess Celestia’s voice directly in front of her. Twilight’s head snapped up, only to find Discord with another one of his signature silly smiles on his face. “See?” he asked, speaking in Celestia’s voice. “I’m right in front of you!”

“Discord! That scared me! Why would you do that?” Twilight stomped her forehooves on the ground.

“I just wanted to see how you would react if your beloved princess or one of your friends found you on a date with me. Apparently, you’re too ashamed of going on a simple date with me…” His ears drooped and he let his head hang low, giving a pathetic sniffle for good measure. He cracked an eye open ever so slightly to gauge Twilight’s expression.

Twilight sat silently, staring at her ‘date,’ a term that she still used quite loosely. Discord was right, she did react in a negative way, and she could only wonder how that made him feel. A moment later, she saw a tear slowly slip out of his eye. Feeling a tad bit guilty, Twilight sighed and let her guard down.

“Listen, Discord…” Twilight trailed off nervously. Could Discord really be truly interested in me? As a… as a special someone? He’s never put so much effort into a prank before, so… Suddenly, Twilight realized that Discord might not be trying to trick her at all. She cast her gaze downward as she remembered what he said only an hour or so ago: Besides, do you see any other draconequi around? I sure don’t, so that leaves me with only one option: to look for love elsewhere… She looked back up into Discord’s eyes, an apologetic look upon her face.

“Are you… Do you really like like me?” Twilight asked, laying one of her hooves on one of Discord’s.

“Ever since I saw you for the first time, I felt some sort of special connection between us. You may not have felt it, but I sure did. Every time that I’m not around you, I’m in agony, wishing you were by my side. You’re the yin to my yang, and–”

“I’m the yin to your what?” Twilight asked, cocking an eyebrow.

“Please, princess, let me finish.” Discord cleared his throat and gently grasped Twilight’s outstretched hoof. He looked into her eyes and continued, this time with more confidence. Maybe she’s finally falling for… “Ugh, now you made me lose my train of thought! And I had so many nice things to say about you, too…”

“It’s alright, and listen, please forgive me for not believing you at first. I mean, you are the spirit of chaos; I thought you were pulling some sort of prank on me, but now I see that it’s not the case.” She smiled and tightened her grip on Discord’s hoof. Maybe… just maybe I can give him a chance… “Is it alright if we, I don’t know… start over?”

“Wait, so let me get this straight, you do want to go out with me now?” Discord asked with an unsettling smile.

Twilight sat back, retracting her hoof from Discord’s grasp. “Well… um, yes.” She bit her lip and cast her gaze from side to side, looking anywhere but Discord. Taking a moment, she closed her eyes and took a few slow, steady breaths, just like Princess Cadence had taught her. Letting her nerves calm down, she took one last deep breath and looked back up, opening her eyes.

Before she could say anything, Discord shot across the table and pressed his forehead against hers. “Gotcha!” he exclaimed, and with a snap of his fingers, he was gone, leaving Twilight to pay their rather large tab.

............................................Why?!!??!

4073116 It was all a prank.:twilightangry2:

Saw it coming from a mile away - still laughed my ass off. :rainbowlaugh:

Discord, better hope you're in a fireproof location... because you're about to get a visit from Rapidash Sparkle.

4073214 Maybe It wWas A Conspiracy By The Illuminati. The CANADIAN Illuminati. The Illuminat-ehy.

4073342 I just noticed this was complete. Now I'm sure it must be a conspiracy, because otherwise we'd get some good quality Discolight shipping! :fluttershysad:

As a… as a special someone?

Surely you mean "special somepony."

I am not sure how I feel about this. On one hoof, Discord is my favorite antagonist. On the other hoof, Twilight is my favorite pony. I do not know whether to laugh my ass off or string Discord up by his testicles, castrate him, and then bobbittize him. However, since it is impossible to do the latter, I think I will just laugh. Sorry, Twiliy.

wow.....just.....wow. there better be a fucking epilogue or a sequel where he gets what's coming to him.

Well, something we should have expected I guess.

I...You...He....No. Just no.

Well now Discord is on my "S" list ... first he makes her cry, then he breaks her heart... now he must die!

4073500 Discord is my fav antagonist and Twi is my fav pony too!!!

And that was the last time anyone ever saw Discord again!

Although they say that if you go down to Ponyville's library, buried deep in the shelves is a book. One that doesn't exist anywhere else and one who's words don't make any sense...

lol

Thaaaaaaaaat's Discord!

That was mean, Discord. Really mean. But, it makes for a good story.

From the words of the WWE fans:

"ASSHOLE ASSHOLE ASSHOLE ASSHOLE"

Shame on you, Discord.

DAYUM!!! Gotta give him 10/10 for style, but only 8/10 for taste.

He would have gotten a better score if he had done this shit to Rarity! :trollestia:

And then it turns out he really is interested in Twilight, but was too scared to actually admit it so he played it off as a prank. :fluttercry:

4075533 that would be the cutest ending ever!:rainbowkiss:

4075288
That's evil... Now I want it:trollestia::trollestia::trollestia:

4075638 Well sure I would be willing to add yet another story to my read later list... I might even read it later.

Hey Abyss read the comment on my video, yeah sorry forgot to tell ya that I did the video sorry, I'll probably do the next chapter sometime eventually still need to read chapter 3.

4079019 Haha it's all good. I'm making a place on my user page for all the fan works right now. :twilightblush:

That was a rather abrupt ending.

...and Discord's a dick for doing that.

I've lost all faith in everything :twilightangry2:

...

Well congratulations on having a problem with proper characterization.

wat? WAT!? OH COME ON DISSY! :flutterrage: YOU BLOODY TROLL! :flutterrage:

Cracked me :rainbowwild: still a dick move :facehoof:

Now for the other part of this story where twilight chases after discord to force him into bed. As he was obviously only playing hard to get with this "prank".

Such jerk! I was ready from short romantic story and THIS! I don't say that I'm dissapointed, but it's not what i want in the first place.

Please take your complaint to the complaint department.

Point of this reply: it's not the author's obligation to write what you want. And if you look at the story itself it is not tagged romance. It's tagged comedy, and unless there's a romance tag you should not be expecting romance.

4092020 Well, it's not like you commissioned me to write this. I write what I want to write.

4092152 Thank you! That's exactly my point.

4092020 And who you callin a jerk?

4092020 If you do not like the story, and are that displeased, then, PLEASE, go write your own fic.

images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/31300000/Discord-discord-my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-31386313-853-480.gif

I'm waiting...

4099130 Yeah, that's really it. This was all the story was ever meant to be.

4092163
He is probably calling Discord a jerk, but seriously dude, what do you expect from the god of chaos??

What a douche bag. If that were me, Discord would be missing some teeth.

4092020
Pick on somepony your own size jerk.:scootangel:

Is it bad that I'm starting to ship this more and more with each and every passing second...? :twilightangry2:

I mean, yeah Discord did that, but I'm still starting to ship it! GAH!!! :raritydespair:

I hate you. I hate you very much. I was hoping for a TwiCord relationship here!!!!

4482008 You know this is marked as a comedy, and not a romance, right?
