Chapter 3

Twilight finished the book rather quickly since it was actually a filly's book and was only 32 pages long. It also was a picture book.

"I don't get it? What does this book have to do with that riddle that could possibly free Discord?" Twilight said aloud.

"What about Discord?" asked Cadence as she walked into the room.

"Oh, I was saying I'm glad he's turned back to stone! He deserved it." Twilight said before adding something under her breath. "Not he didn't."

"I'm glad you finally woken up. You've been sleeping all morning with the biggest grin I've ever seen on you!" laughed Cadence.

"I was smiling?" asked Twilight.

"The biggest grin I've ever seen on you. You were laughing quite a bit too."

"Was I talking in my sleep at all?"

"No, but you were laughing loud enough that I could hear you from all the way downstairs."

"I was having a good dream." Twilight smiled. "But then, this book appeared next to my nightstand. Do you know where it came from?"

Cadence looked at the book Twilight had just read. "Love's Melody? That's a filly's book. Wonder what it's doing here anyways?"

"I don't know. I didn't put it there when I fell back asleep this morning."

"Hmm. That's very strange." Cadence said as she levitated the book with her magic. "Well, it doesn't matter anyways." She quickly took notice of the sunglasses on Twilight's nightstand. "Cool sunglasses! They seem very...different. So...chaotic."

Twilight placed the sunglasses on her head. "Thanks. I found them the other day." She suddenly felt her stomach growl in hunger. "I guess I forgot I haven't eaten anything today. I should probably eat something."

"I saw a daisy sandwich in the fridge. It looked rather fresh, like it was just put in there." smiled Cadence.

Twilight teleported herself downstairs and went into the kitchen. She opened up the fridge and there laid a daisy sandwich, it did seem to be freshly made. How did it even get here considering she hadn't bought any daisies from the market in a while. Twilight pulled out the sandwich and took a bite out of it. It tasted so sweet...just like when she and Discord had the picnic before the elements ruined everything.

"Is that a good sandwich?" Cadence smiled.

"It is." Twilight said between bites. "Spike must have made it for me while I was gone yesterday."

"That was nice of him. Could I drink some of the wine that's in there too?" asked Cadence.

"Wine?" Twilight ate the last of the sandwich and peeked into the fridge. There sat a bottle of red wine. "Just like the one at the picnic." Twilight whispered.

"What did you say?" Cadence asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I said I don't mind sharing my wine." Twilight pulled it out and read the flavor. "Yummy, it's cherry flavored too."

"I haven't had cherry wine the longest time now." smiled Cadence as she pulled out two cups and poured them both a cup. She handed one over to Twilight who took it happily. "To a bright and happy future!" smiled Cadence as she drank her wine.

"To a great future." said Twilight as she drank her wine. The wine was the exact flavor she had been drinking with Discord. But how did the daisy sandwich and wine get here anyways? Did Discord have enough power to at least send her gifts of his affection for her? She smiled happily at the thought. At least he was there for her in reality in a way. At least he was trying to provide things for her.

Twilight yet out a yawn, indicating she was still tired. "Cadence, I'm gonna go back to sleep."

"Is that a good idea, Twilight? You've already slept the day away already." Cadence asked concerned.

"Maybe it's an affect from the spell Discord put on me. I'm sure it'll wear off in a day or two." Twilight spoke. "I'm going back to sleep now."

"Alright then." Cadence smiled slightly.

Twilight teleported herself to her bed and quickly got in. She closed her eyes and relaxed her entire body. She soon drifted back to sleep and went back into her dreams.

She opened her eyes to find herself being held by someone. She glanced upwards and saw Discord was the one holding her.

"What am I, your personal plushie?" she joked.

"You are." he spoke as he snapped his fingers, turning Twilight into a moving plushie. "Now you really are."

"Discord! Change me back this instant!" Twilight yelled.

"Why should I?" he asked playfully.

"You know what. I think I can change myself back." Twilight said as her horn began to glow, turning herself back to normal. "I was right! I turned myself back to normal!"

"But normal Twilight is so boring. I prefer alicorn Twilight if I must say. So much more interesting then a simple unicorn." Discord laughed.

"Oh ha ha." Twilight said. "You know, Nightmare Moon delivered me a riddle on a way how to free you from stone, forever." she sounded happy. "I just got to figure out what the riddle met. She also said you couldn't give me the answer or else it wouldn't work."

"Interesting. Did she say that I couldn't help you?" he asked.

"She didn't say anything about you helping me in any way. You just can't give me the answer if you know it. The riddle was One that dreams of him day and night She misses him with all her might Stone can be reserved and crumble If she allows her voice to rumble. I wonder what exactly does it mean?" Twilight said.

"Well, it has something to do with your voice, right?" he asked.

"Rumble. Does that mean shouting of some kind?" she pondered.

"Oh, you can solve that riddle later. We should have some fun since you're here!" Discord laughed.

"But I want you to be with me in reality sooner!" Twilight protested. "Don't you want to be with be?"

"Of course I do, but I know Celestia very well and she'll be very worried if I just escape a few days after being encased in stone. But you can always sleep more if you wanna be with me so much. Come on, let's go back under the sea! We keep being interrupted so so many rude ponies. We haven't been able to have any fun!" Discord said.

"Oh alright. Back to the sea!" Twilight cheered.

The scenery changed back to under the sea and the two were happily among the coral reef once more.

"So, what are we gonna do under the sea?" Twilight giggled.

"First, I take care of one small thing." Discord snapped his fingers, putting her back into the one piece blue swimsuit she had on when on the beach.

"Wait, you were the one who poofed the swimsuit on me? Why?" she asked confused.

"What can I say, you look good in blue." Discord smirked.

Twilight's face went a light shade of red. "Umm...h-how about we swim among some of the fish, hmm?"

"Interesting proposition, Twilight, but it's too dull. We need to spice the idea a bit." He snapped his fingers once more, turning Twilight into a colorful small purple fish and disappeared again.

"Discord! Get your butt back here and why did you just turn me into a fish and not yourself?" she yelled from her tiny fish more.

"Oh I did. Just something a little more...chaotic." he spoke out from behind, scaring her.

"What fish is so cha-" She froze in mid-sentence, coming face to face with a great white shark. "D-Discord?" she spoke meekly.

"Yes, Twilight dear?" he asked, flashing his new rows of MANY teeth.

"Why are you a s-s-shark?" she sounded pretty scared. "W-With such b-big teeth?"

"Why, the better to frighten you with, my dear." he smiled a bit bigger.

"Ok then. I'm gonna hide behind this reef. Alright, bye!" Twilight said quickly and swam behind a large coral reef.

Discord swam right in front of her, flashing his teeth still at her. "Why are you swimming away from me?" he asked mockingly.

"Teeth. Giant teeth." Twilight replied in a tiny, squeaky voice.

"Oh, are afraid that I'm going to-" his snapped his teeth together. "-snap you up?"

Twilight swam away quickly. She knew he was messing with her, but since he was literally a hundred times bigger than she currently was, it scared the fins off of her. Twilight hid behind in a tiny opening that was just big enough for her to fit through. She kept her mouth quiet so he wouldn't hear her and hopefully give up his shark joke on her.

"Twilight, where are you? You can't win this game of hide and seek against the god of chaos." he taunted out. "Come out, come out, wherever you are."

Twilight swam a bit further back into the opening, hoping he wouldn't see her. The opening was a bit dark, so it would hard to spot her in there anyways.

"He's not gonna find me." Twilight barely whispered to herself. "He's not gonna find me."

"Oh, are you sure about that?" said a voice in the cave as something wrapped itself around her fish body and pulled her in.

"Let me go! Let me go!" Twilight screamed as she heard a laugh. "Discord, let me go!"

Twilight got pulled a bit further into the opening and come face to face with a red octopus with a familiar stare.

"You should have seen the look on your face, Twilight!" Discord laughed. "You were so scared! It was priceless!"

"Oh ha ha." Twilight said an annoyed tone.

"Oh, come now, Twilight. You must learn to take a joke. After all, I am the god of chaos." he smiled.

"I know you're the god of chaos. You say it more than enough. You didn't have to scare me out of my wits." Twilight complained.

"Oh, it seems you're mad now." Discord mocked. "What is it gonna take to make me get a smile from you?"

Twilight thought for a second. "Do something romantic for me. You say you love me. Prove it." she said in a challenging voice.

"You want romantic now, Twilight? Fine, you win. Romance it is." he smiled as he tapped a tentacle on the ground, teleporting and changing them to a restaurant which looked like it was in the heart in Manehattan.

"What a lovely place, especially with a sunset in the distance." Twilight smiled. "Who knew dreams could be so wonderful."

"You said you wanted romance, Twilight. So I gave you some romance, though I did add some things to make it worth my while." he smirked.

"What did you do?" she asked concerned.

"Oh, there is our waiter now." Discord smiled, trying nor to laugh.

"Welcome to the Manehattan Grill, what can I get you?" said the waiter who was Princess Celestia!

"Umm...I'll take a some tulips and roasted potatoes." Twilight smiled.

"I'll just have this." Discord snapped his fingers and made it rain chocolate rain all over Celestia. It went on for a few minutes, Twilight couldn't help but laugh at the sight of Celestia getting pelted by chocolate rain. He snapped his fingers again and the cloud disappeared.

"Right away then." Celestia said as she walked back inside the restaurant.

Twilight shot Discord an 'are you serious?' look. "You made Princess Celestia wait on us, seriously?"

"I've always to have Celestia wait on me. I just want to be able to waited all for once in my immortal life."

Twilight simply laughed at his comment. "Only because this is a dream, will I not say anything about you having Princess Celestia be the waitress. I must admit, it is kind of funny for her to be a waitress."

"If you think that was funny, then you'll love this." Discord stated as another pony came up to the two of them. It was Princess Luna dressed as a chef!

"How are you both doing this evening? Could I interest you in some free desert?" Luna smiled.

"Oh, I would love desert after dinner! Do you have any cotton candy cupcakes and brownies?" Twilight smiled.

"Of course, my lady! I'll have it ready for you as soon as you finish your meal!" Luna smiled as she turned to Discord. "Can I get you any free desert for right now, Discord, sir?"

"Sir?" Twilight asked in confusion.

"I could go for a chocolate rose or two. Real roses preferred." Discord smiled.

"Of course! We only use real roses here! Chocolate roses. I'll have them right out!" Luna smiled as Discord caused her to trip over a chair that magically got into her way. Luna quickly collected herself and faced Discord. "Great prank, Discord!" After that, she went back into the restaurant.

"Were you seriously that desperate to have the princesses wait on you?" Twilight laughed.

"We're in your head so it really doesn't matter." Discord laughed. "Besides, my idea of romance and yours are very different."

"Your idea of romance is completely and utter chaos." Twilight mocked.

Discord smiled at her. "You know me too well, Twilight dear. And your idea is..." he started to talk in a rather high, feminine voice. "...two ponies together and they're so much in love. He tells her he loves her and she returns the compliment. They love being in each other company and never bore of each other." he finished his speech with a taunting smile.

"Well...that is my idea of romance." Twilight giggled.

Just then, Celestia and Luna both appeared. They both brought over Twilight's dinner and Discord's chocolate roses. Discord quickly made another cotton candy cloud rain on them both for a moment before he ceased just a moment later. The princesses left quickly back into the restaurant to leave the couple in peace.

"Tulips and roasted potatoes. I haven't had this in such a long time!" Twilight said hungrily. "It's too bad tulips are a bit expensive. They are so sweet." Twilight lifted a tulip into her mouth. "Oh Celestia! These are delicious!"

Discord simply laughed at the purple alicorn as she began stuffing several tulips and potatoes into her mouth, causing her cheeks look puffed up. Twilight heard him laughing and gave him a look of what on her face. This caused the god of chaos to simply laugh at her even more. Twilight swallowed the load in her mouth and stared at Discord.

"Why are you laughing now?" she asked.

"Your cheeks like that. You looked like a squirrel who tried to stuff all their nuts into their mouth!" he laughed.

"You know, if this is romantic, I'm not seeing it." Twilight stated.

He levitated a chocolate rose to her. "Here, a chocolate rose for my favorite alicorn."

Twilight smiled as she grabbed hold of it with her magic. "Oh, thank you Discord. I guess this is romantic." she said as she bit into the chocolate rose, which was simply a whole rose head covered in milk chocolate. Twilight smiled that her chocolate rose tasted just how she thought it would.

"This is delicious, Discord. I wish I knew where to find some of these in Ponyville." Twilight laughed.

"Maybe you have some at home." he said happily.

"Sure I do." she replied with sarcasm obvious in her voice.

"I'll think of some of these tulips for another time. Those cotton candy cupcakes and brownies are starting to sound mouth watering to be." Twilight said as she ran her tongue across her lips in anticipation.

As soon as Twilight finished her sentence, Luna came out with the sweets Twilight was starting to crave and her her meal plate away. Luna quickly dashed back inside.

"Oh boy! Cotton candy cupcakes and brownies!" Twilight said happily as she picked up the pink cupcake and took a bite. "You want a bite, Discord?" she asked, mouth full.

He poofed from his seat and appeared right next to her. He ran his lion paw down one side of her face and replied, "I'd love a bite."

Twilight didn't move as he ran his lion paw down her face. She had forgotten how soft it felf on her face. A small blush appeared on her face as she levitated the cupcake to him and levitated the entire brownie into her mouth and began chewing it.

Discord devoured the entire cupcake and smiled. "Cotton candy cupcakes. I would have never though of that."

Twilight swallowed her brownie. "Hey, you ate my cupcake! I said you could have a bite, not the entire thing!"

"Oh Twilight. You can have something a little sweeter than a cotton candy cupcake." he smiled, his teeth flashing happily.

"And what can possibly be sweeter than a cotton candy cupcake?"

"Myself?"

Twilight stood on her chair and put her forehoofs on the back of it. She stretched herself upwards in order to attempt the god of chaos, but she was too short for her to reach him. So, she simply had her eyes closed and lips sightly puckered into an 'O' shape. Discord couldn't help but realized she looked rather adorable the way she was at the moment. He decided he would be nice to the purple alicorn and give her the kiss she desired.

He leaned is head down and his lips met up with those of Twilight's. It had been quite awhile since they had kissed each other in these dreams, so it an happy feeling overtook both of them as they kissed each other. It felt like their souls were connecting with each other's once again.

The two pulled away after a moment and Twilight opened her eyes, coming face to face with Discord's yellow and red eyes. She blushed again as she never was ever really at eye level with him. "You are sweeter than cotton candy cupcakes. Sweeter and have more bang to you."

"That's what I thought, my dear." he smiled back at her, a slight blush on his face as well.

Celestia returned back outside to the table once more to clear the table for the two of them. She smiled at them and said, "Thanks for choosing Manehattan Grill. We appreciate your service," she turned to Discord. "and your chaos."

"I have to admit, this was one of the best dinners I've ever had...in my own head." Twilight laughed.

"Twilight, time to wake up. Twilight." rang Cadence's voice through the area.

"I guess it's time for you to wake up. It must be getting late." Discord said.

"Hey, wanna meet up in Appleloosa next time? Change of scenery?" Twilight asked.

"Sure thing, my dear. Until then, arrivederci!" he said as he disappeared.

Twilight opened her eyes to see the figure of Princess Cadence standing above her. Cadence smiled as Twilight further opened up her eyes.

"Good evening, sleepy head. That is one after affect. I've never seen a pony sleep so long." Cadence said.

"Good evening. What time is it?" Twilight asked.

"It's about seven. You've slept the entire day away. Are you hungry again? I saw something you might like in the fridge." Cadence said.

"Sure. Let's grab some food." Twilight said as she and Cadence teleported themselves into the kitchen. Twilight used her magic and opened the fridge. "Let's see what we have in here."

The fridge opened up wide to reveal that there were some tulips, potatoes, and some chocolate roses inside. Discord must have enough strength to send certain things from her dreams back into reality. That was sweet that he was caring for her in the real world too.

"Care for some tulips and potatoes?" asked Twilight. "I also have chocolate roses for dessert."

"Wow, you must have wanted an expensive meal. Roses must be at least ten bits of piece and tulips at eight bits a piece!"

"Well..." Twilight quickly thought of a lie. "I was in the market the other day and wanted to be a bit impulsive."

"Every once in a while is always cool to do something like that." Cadence smiled. "Let's cook these things so we can eat!" Cadence laughed.

"Sure thing!" Twilight laughed as she looked outside the kitchen window and mentally spoke, 'Thank you so much for the food, Discord. See you in Appleloosa!'Twilight smiled as she finished her thought.
