Disclaimer: we do not own MLP or the characters, those belong solely to hasbro and so on, we thought to ourselves ' how about stirring some chaos into this, what would Discord do, he'd weave a tale of epic proportions, and all for the enjoyment of himself, of course'...yeah we know, lame disclaimer is lame, but we couldn't help writing this, we got somewhat finished with a twilight x discord thing and disliked it, there were eluded hints of romance, but nothing happened between them, except the occasional caring gesture, and we thought ' this is NOT what we were hoping for' not that the story sucked, we actually want to thank the person who wrote it, for inspiring us to write this fan fic of ours, twilight at the disco, no it will not be entirely based on it, its merely an inspiration, as we saw good things in the story and we wanted to show our take on it, hope you enjoy, please no flame comments, rememeber that this is a fan fic, not something that would happen in the show, so no hate please
Chapter 1
Winter Wrap Up was close, and all ponies were making preparations for it, all pegasai and alicorns were ready, the rest were drawing up plans all over Equestria, cleaning snow up all over, helping each other out, the Mayor of Ponyville oversaw the proceedings, looking occasionally at Canterlot, where Twilight Sparkle, or more rather, Princess Twilight Sparkle now resided, it seemed like only yesterday that Twilight came to Ponyville, a helpful, but introverted pony, in the short time she lived here, she'd made friends, all of whom were busy with Winter Wrap Up. The sun shone brightly, warming everypony up as best it could, helping to ease the work each pony did, Rainbow Dash and the other pegasai were shooing the clouds away, letting more sunlight hit Ponyville, she caught a glimpse of the sun shining off of Canterlot castle, and smiled, remembering an awesome friend lived there, her good friend Twilight, knowing that somewhere in there, she was smiling down at them, there was still much to do, but it wouldn't take long, she knew that much, each pony was doing their very best to hurry things along, and while all were busy, up in Canterlot, she didn't know how much she was right, Twilight was looking down, and she was watching the progress of Winter Wrap Up, wishing she could help.
Twilight looked down on Ponyville, and tried her best to smile, he life had turned into court meetings and listening to ambassadors from the many nations around them, sure, progress had been made, she'd managed to convince reform in schooling and desegregation of them, allowing zebra, and griffin's alike to mingle with the rest of Equestria, and, not only that, but that any pony, regardless of what they were, could do a different qualifying test, to get into schools that their parents normally could, she had been nervous, but there was one small change, the who that had been there, she glanced over at the balcony to her room, and there he lay, the spirit of chaos himself, Discord.
She sauntered over and stopped just short of bumping into him, it was still rather early, she had jumped out of bed around 5:30 this morning, brushing up on what she could of the history of Equestria, and their politics, she had gone through 12 volumes of books before her eyes started itching and she found she had to stop, if only for a bit, her thoughts drifted back to Winter Wrap Up and her friends, it wouldn't be much longer before things were done, in fact, she knew it would only be 30 more minutes at most before all ponies had finished with their chores, she sat down, and stared off at nothing in particular, in the short time Discord had been here, he'd proven that aside from being his usual prankster self, and an annoyance at times, he'd actually been very helpful and had recently become her personal advisor, strangely enough, Twilight rubbed her eyes with a hoof, noting how early it was, she may have rushed things a bit, but she didn't want to miss anything, and no matter how early, she would do her best. She would be prepared, she would make sure of that, and pretty soon, she would make sure Discord too was ready, since his position demanded this of him, she wasn't going to walk into court without knowing the facts and as many times she'd been to court, and met with dignitaries, she felt any edge she had, needed to be maintained.
Twilight lifted her head, 'oh no, I must have dozed back to sleep, what time is it...oh no! What if I'm late!' she thought in a panic, she sprung up immediately and flexed her wings in and out, then stretched out, when a voice suddenly spoke up.
"So nice of you to wake up, dear princess, you'd be happy to know, that it is now 10 in the morning, you're late for breakfast with the other two princesses, who requested your company an hour ago" came the unmistakable voice of Discord, in his usual tone, smirking of course. Twilight turned to face him, rubbed an eye with her hoof and frowned.
" I wish you could have woken me sooner, but of course you just had to let me sleep, to create drama and humor for yourself" she glowered at him, then straightened up, "but I have no time for you, if they wanted me for breakfast, which I doubt its just breakfast they needed me for, then I shall waste no more time here" she finished head held high. Discord did a mock bow and used his magic to open her bedroom doors for her, "Do have a lovely time...your highness" his lips twitching with hidden laughter, she sighed inwardly, knowing that he always did this, and each time it irked her a little, though not as bad as it used to, which back then, they were enemies, now, circumstances had changed, but his demeanor had not. She walked calmly out of the room and a guard escorted her to the dining hall.
When she arrived, she found Luna and Celestia were still there, but they had already eaten it seemed, and were chatting over orange juice and a light sweet grass salad, she quickly but gracefully approached and sat down, making both Luna and Celestia turn to look at who had just sat down, then they smiled. Celestia beamed at Twilight, "well goodness, I am glad you could join us, wasn't sure you'd make it, when I sent for you, I got a report from Lord Discord that you had been studying and fallen asleep" she said smiling a little more, Twilight knew that he'd said that, so that hopefully it'd make a humorous impact and cause her to be embarrassed, which it did a little bit, the falling asleep part that is, the rest was very true, and even if she'd fallen back to sleep, she had managed to get up very early, and nodded with agreement, "yes its true, I thought i'd get better acquainted with our history and politics in time for the next court session, but I guess I got up too early, because-" she paused a minute, and looked up at both Luna and Celestia, then finally thought of what to say next, " I guess I, must have dozed off" she went pink and fell silent, but Luna simply shook her head with a small laugh,
" You are very eager, and I admire that, it takes a deep dedication to be able to keep up with us and the rest of Canterlot, which reminds me of something...sister would mind?" she inquired, turning to Celestia, who immediately sat up taller, and nodded, "Twilight, the time has come, we want you to rule Equestria in our stead...now not immediately!" she added noticing Twilight had gone a little pale, "it will be gradual, but in light of all of your successes, we believe its time, I have full faith in you" she finished, sipping her orange juice, Luna nodded in agreement.
"As do I and thanks to your efforts, so does the rest of the kingdom" Luna chimed in
"It will be for the good of us all" Celestia nodded, and waited for Twilight to respond, with anything at all.
Twilight sat there flabbergasted for a moment, then cleared her throat, "I thank you both, whatever I was going to say, you addressed fully, although, I am not sure how ready I am, but thank you for the vote of confidence, its appreciated, I'll do my best" she said with a tiny smile. Celestia nodded, and turned her head to look directly at her, and said something Twilight didn't expect.
"Discord will of course be your personal advisor, and when necessary, he may be permitted to speak on your behalf, and add his thoughts in court, even the power to veto if need be, plus we moved his quarters to be one door down from your own, so that he is there when you call for him" She said as if she expected Twilight to accept without a problem, which, she didn't, but at the same time, knew him for his antics, as well as his diplomacy, and those rare moments he cared, really surprised her, her mind wandered for a bit, till she felt a nudge, and abruptly looked up to see Luna staring at her.
"I said its time for court again, both Celestia and I will attend, you may feel free to sit back and watch, but let us go, they're waiting" Luna said simply, rising from her seat, Celestia doing likewise. Twilight followed suit and walked behind them to another day at court, wondering if Discord would be there. As soon as the doors opened, and their arrival had been announced, she looked up to see his smiling face, right beside her throne, they each took their seats and Twilight briefly eyed Discord before settling in for a long session of court, Discord lazily resting his head on the top of her throne, looking at everyone, this would be long indeed.
Rainbow Dash lay on a cloud, enjoying the springtime sun, after working so hard to get ready for spring, it felt extra nice to feel it moving in, in place of the harsh winter that had been there before, her mind wandered a little, and she found herself oddly thinking of Big Mac, she'd had to help him with clearing snow away earlier in the day, noting his muscly flank and legs, and how they'd shivered in the once cold morning sun, perspiration and strain aside, it had been rewarding, and here she was, enjoying the sun, a daydream dancing in her head.
"Whatcha doin!" came a sudden shout from below, shaking Dash out of her reverie, she leaned over the cloud to see Pinkie Pie, beaming up at her.
"Aw nothin', was gonna nap, but I think I'll pass now, what's up" Dash replied
"Well since you aren't busy, wanna go to the lake for a picnic? I know its not perfect just yet to swim, but, what the hay, right?" Pinkie grinned with a hopeful note to it, Dash rubbed her head with a hoof, and wasn't sure she wanted to go, Pinkie seemed to pick up on it, as her body wiggled violently
"oooh! You aren't sure you wanna go...but I invited everyone, including Big Mac, and Twilight, we'll be there all afternoon, its for a lunch picnic, so I'm sure Twilight will be able to come, ooo, this is gonna be great! So many people coming, I better get started, see ya then!" she singed out to her, and bounced off with glee. Dash lay on her stomach for a minute, had she heard right? Bic Mac was coming, with Applejack too? Oh boy, she felt butterflies in her stomach at the thought, but found herself smiling, she couldn't wait to go.
Twilight plopped onto her bed, after a very long session of court, the pony was eager to rest a bit, she knew Pinkie Pie had sent an invite to lunch in a bit, but she wanted to relax first, plus, Discord had been invited to tag along with her, and she wished real hard that he would behave himself. Even when he had his own room, she somehow found him sleeping either at the foot of her bed, or on the balcony, instead of going to his room, she hopped off her bed and walked out to the empty balcony and let the spring breeze go through her mane, she closed her eyes and smiled, spring always had that way of making people smile, she was letting her mind wander, when images started running through her head, that amazed her, there in her mind, Discord sat across from her, smiling and engaging in pleasant conversation with her, giving her warm smiles, and stroking her mane when he felt he could get away with it, as she faked not paying attention, then came that moment, something she knew was her vivid imagination, he leaned in, and was getting ready to kiss her when- a door slamming jolted her from her dream, and she jerked her head in the direction of her room, her cheeks red, she walked back in to find Discord lounging in mid air, arms behind his head, he turned to her and smiled.
"Well well, interrupt something did I?" he asked with mock innocence, " I do hope you remember our lunch date with our friends, tsk tsk, we have no time for idling, its almost noon" he informed her, lazily waving his clawed lion paw around. Twilight sighed, and walked up to him.
"Yes I know, I was just coming in to find you, glad you managed to show up on your own, not that im shocked" she added eying him a little. He curled around to face her, his nose inches from her own, and smiled.
"Well lets go, I sure don't want to be late, do you? Your dear friends must miss you, how about we hurry up" he smiled coyly and snapped his fingers, teleporting him and Twilight to the lake where Pinkie and Fluttershy were setting up the picnic blanket and basket, they looked up and waved, Pinkie squealing with joy and nearly tackling Twilight off her hooves. Pinkie beamed at both of them, and jumped up and down grinning. "Yeee! You came, you came! I'm so happy! All that's left is to wait for Rainbow Dash, Big Macintosh and Applejack, oh and Rarity, I'm surprised Spike isn't here, you did tell him he was invited right?" Pinkie asked jumping, before Twilight could answer, Discord snapped his fingers, and in a poof, Spike was seated on the blanket, blinking in confusion. "Wha? Where am I, oh hey Twilight, what's going on" he asked, scratching his head. He looked around, and upon noticing his old friends, smiled and became happy. "This is great! Oh wow a picnic? Sounds fun, I sure hope Rarity can come, I sure miss seeing her, and Dash, and Applejack, sure is nice to see you guys" He smiled looking them over. Twilight sat on the blanket too, Discord floating right beside her, sipping on lemonade, stealing looks at Twilight, who in turn, looked at him out of the corner of her eye, hoping that he didn't want to know what he'd 'interrupted' earlier, though the comfort of him not being able to read minds helped.
The rest of the party showed up not long after, Big Mac and Applejack sitting on the right corner of the blanket, Rarity setting up an umbrella and sitting under it, while Spike did his best to get as close to her without seeming to be too obvious, only to have Rarity pull him over to her, asking him to put sunscreen on her, to which he nervously replied yes, and began to do so, his clawed hands shaking a little out of nerves jangling. Rainbow Dash seemed to be close to Big Mac, a fact that he understood, but didn't fuss over, he was his usual calm self, though he blushed a little while talking to her. After a time, they all asked Twilight how things were going, after talking briefly about Winter Wrap Up, and Twilight thought for a moment, on how to answer, "Well, I was told that, I was going succeed Princess Luna and Princess Celestia as ruler of Equestria...but they'll still be there, like advisors" she quickly added, remembering how they'd reassured her they would not leave the castle, after the court. Dash looked up at her, and smiled some, "that's really cool, glad its you and not some other pony" she said cheeks pink, her hoof on Big Mac's arm, Applejack, eating a sandwich looked up to see this, and blinked a lot, but shook her head.
"We all think its very good, why I bet you'll be the best ruler ever, I believe that 100%" Applejack said, moving Dash's hoof away from Big Mac ever so slightly, making her glare a little.
Rainbow Dash scooted closer to Big Mac, but kept enough distance so that Applejack didn't shove her again, Rarity looked up from a magazine and tilted her sunglasses down, and peered over them at her friends, " I second Applejack darling, you are the best pony for the position, I think it's wonderful news" she said in her prim and proper tone, smiling politely. "It will be gradual, so don't think its already happened, but they said that in time, they will announce my ascension to the throne and take a backseat, as they say, advising me when I need it" Twilight replied, sipping on ice water, finding herself leaning back on Discord, whom had dozed off some, curled up in mid air. The rest of their luncheon passed by, and before Twilight knew it, the sun was starting to set, she stood up, and nudged Discord and signaled to Spike, "we have to go, sorry, but it's getting late, I had a very nice time you guys" she smiled softly and motioned for Discord to take them back, he rolled his eyes and snapped his claws, and poofed them back to Canterlot. Once back, they made their way to the dining hall, and sat down, waiting for dinner to be served, which oddly made Twilight think of her daydream, causing her to blush, just stole a glance at Discord, and noticed he was watching, with a small smirk, when dinner finally came, it was sandwiches and glasses of water, with a light salad, she ate only a little, as lunch was still settling, and opted more to drink water and less eating, while Discord freely ate his dinner, Luna and Celestia appeared and sat with them.
" How was your day Twilight" Celestia casually asked
"It was nice, I had fun, it was nice to see everyone and catch up" she replied, Discord yawned beside her, making her want to yawn too, she would sleep good tonight, she hoped, knowing Discord. Maybe he would go to his own room tonight, she felt hopeful and wished with all her might that he would, dinner went by and Twilight found herself drowsily walking to her room, a guard opened her doors for her, and she nodded vaguely, and allowed them to close the doors behind her, she slipped into bed instantly, and fell asleep, unaware that Discord had poofed into her room, and then proceeded to lie right next to her, cuddling to keep her warm, and her, unknowingly accepting it, and snuggling closer, probably thinking it was one of her many pillows, he smiled warmly, then dozed off too, the two of them, off in their own little dreamlands.
