"Sorry what ya said?" asked Apple Jack
"I know, I can't say anything I mean it's what she does she's a changeling, those things have no hearts literally!" exclaimed Pinkie pie.
"Now, now no need to say those things, you never know if changelings actually have a heart, maybe one of them do." Said Twilight calmly. The girls were talking about Queen Crystalis, Twilight had told them about what happened with Crystalis and Flashsentuary.
"Oh come on Twilight! Give us all a break, Changelings literally have no heart, and you as princess knows that!" said Rainbow-Dash really annoyed, "And aren't you meant to hate them I mean they took Flashsentuary."
"Who says I don't hate them, I do but put your self's in their hooves will you, you wouldn't want anypony to talk about you like that, just because somepony is different does not mean they are evil." She replied, "Nyx is different, and she's not evil, buring in mind that she was made by a spell." Rainbow-Dash mumbled, she hated it when Twilight was right about something that was meant to be wrong.
"So what are we gonna do? Ya wedding is today!" reminded Apple Jack.
"I'm gonna have to postpone the wedding." Twilight said with a sigh.
"No worries Twilight, I'm sure we will find him, and we will be right next to you, fail or succeed." Said Fluttershy with a calm voice
"Ya! Cuze that's wut friends do!" Cheered Apple Jack
"So true Apple Jack." Said Rarity, the girls giggled.
"Bff's forever!" they all said together. So they went to put the wedding for a different date. It was a long prosess but they got there in the end.
"Ok, now where is screwy." Asked Twilight.
"I'm here aunt Twilight!" shouted screwy who was running towards her, "I found something interesting." She said once she got there and caught her breath.
"Really? What." Asked Twilight.
"It's a spell to help." She said panting, "You know who sent it."
"Right, umm Screwy can I talk to you in private?" asked Twilight
"Sure, juts- just give me a second or two." She said still trying to catch her breath. So the two went into the library to talk about something.
"We have to be careful, or ponies are going to start to get suspicious." Whispered Twilight.
"Sorry aunt, but he's just super sweet." Said screwy.
"Don't worry, just make sure that we keep this to both of us." She said accepting screwballs' apology.
"I really want to see him again." She said with a dreamy sigh.
"Oooo I know a song for that." Giggled Twilight
"Oh no you don't Aunt Twilight Sparkle, don't you dare sing it!" She said in a joking type of mad voice.
"Dare and screwy sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g." she starting to sing
"Don't you dare sing anymore!" she said getting annoyed.
"First comes love then comes marriage then she comes with a baby carriage!" she sung laughing at the end.
"And she sung it! Really I thought you were a princess." She said
"Yes but just because I'm a princess that doesn't mean that I can't have fun." She said with a smile. Little did the two know that the two royal sisters, Screwballs' parents the girls and spike were watching. Discord was the one who was with his mouth wide open. His daughter was in love with a pony that he did not know.
"Oh come on! It's not like you ever had this type of problem!" Said Screwball starting to get annoyed.
"No, that's because my love is a normal pony, Dare however well a changeling with a heart isn't something you see every day." Said Twilight with a giggle. The ponies who were listening dropped their mouths open well wide, especially Discord and Fluttershy; their daughter was in-love with a changeling!
"Anymore Clichés aunt?" asked screwy with a sigh and a smile.
"Nope, I think that's it, but back to the spell that Dare got us." Said Twilight putting in a different subject.
"Yes, I still can't believe he got you the last one! I mean who goes against their own mother!" she said in a surprised voice.
"Somepony who really thinks that their mother is evil, though it is very fascinating that a changeling is helping us, it's defiantly something that you don't see every day!" she said. Princess Celestia was the most surprised at what the young princess Twilight had said. The elder sister gave a hint to everypony who was listening to the two girls to fallow her so they could all talk.
In the room they had gone to they were all trying to get Discord to cool down, literally.
"MY DAUGHTER IS SEEING A CHANGELING!" He bellowed going red and heating up. Fluttershy got her bucket of water out, the one she carried around just in case he heated up like he was now.
"Sweetie stay calm." said Fluttershy knowing he was just going to breathe fire.
"Stay calm? STAY CALM! MY DAUGHTER LIKES A CHANGELING!" he bellowed once more. Just at that time Twilight walked in, instead she teleported out seeing it was a bad moment, but like always she was caught by Discord.
"DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS!? I BET IT WAS YOUR IDEA." He shouted at Twilight.
"Discord stop it!" she said trying to get him to stop.
"MY DAUGHTER IS DATING A CHANGELING! YOU EXPECT ME TO JUST STOP!?" he shouted. Twilights' magic started to act up due to her emotions and she turned him to stone, once that was done she ran out crying. Screwball walked in and her aunt ran out crying. She gave a sigh.
"Oh dad what have you done now?" she sighed.
"Screwy? What's going on? Are you actually dating a changeling?" asked her mother with shock and scare in her voice.
"What in the great name of Celestia?! You were spying on us! I can't believe that! No I'm not and Dare is my friend nothing more! Just because he's different that does not mean that he is evil! And Aunt Twilight ran out cause you didn't trust us, Dare was trying to help because he is aware of what his mother was doing he HAS A HEART!" she shouted, "Dare is not like his brothers and sisters! At least he knows what's wrong and what's right! I can't believe this, Mom you have to learn to trust me and aunt, her powers react up with what she is feeling!" she added.
"But screwy!" Her mother tried to reason.
"No, I can't believe this, he is trying to help!" he said starting to walk off, "oh and I think dad owns an apology to aunt Twilight." She said walking out the door.
Fluttershy gave a sigh.
"I know bff it aint easy but we all will make it through." Said Apple Jack hoping that they would make it through.
In another room Screwball was trying to calm her aunt down with the help of Nyx who was fine and really didn't like seeing her mother the way she was. When somepony knocked on the door Twilight teleported somewhere.
"Who is it?" asked screwball with a sigh.
"Can I come in?" asked Princess Celestia from the other side of the door.
"Umm sorry Princess Twilight literally teleported out of here." Said screwball rolling her eyes. Princess Celestia stepped in.
"Do any of you know where she is?" she asked with a calm voice.
"She's probably in her spot right at the back of Canterlot garden Princess, just fallow the path of purple flowers and you will get there." Replied Nyx
"Thank you Nyx." Said the princess with a smile. So Princess Celestia took the directions that Nyx had given her and she got there, she found Twilight looking at a picture of her and Flashsentuary.
"Miss him?" She suddenly said making Twilight jump.
"More than anypony in my life, I just want him to come home." She said with a tear running down her face.
"And he will, you just need to stay calm, Princess Twilight if you try to hurry time everything will just become not even near better." Said Princess Celestia trying to help her student.
"Yes but I can't help it, I mean it's not fair I know queen Crystalis has her own kingdom but this is just not fair." She said with a new tear running down her face
"Yes I know, but Queen Crystalis has no heart, literally, you know that, it physically not possible for them to have hearts." She said with a clam voice, "And screwball said something about one having a heart?"
"Yes I know, this one is a royal changelings, so he has a father who I guess gave him a heart, it's not like a normal changing a royal one though." Said Twilight whipping away her tears.
"Princess Twilight, I am sorry but how is he different from the others and how come he has a father? May I ask?" Asked Princess Celestia confused.
"Well a royal changeling is a changeling with a mother and a father, so that is what makes him different." She explained, "And his father had a heart and he was born with it, though Crystalis knew he had one and tried to create him like he didn't have one, and like always she had failed." She ended with a puff.
"Yes I think that explains a lot." Said Princess Celestia in the end after afew seconds of silence.
"Yes, I think that screwy like him for what he's doing, and I won't say a thing, I can't really from what I'm seeing I have no words literally." She said.
"Yes, well, I think that you need to turn discord back to well, to discord now don't you think?" she asked.
"Do I have to? I don't really feel like it." She moaned.
"I think it's best if you do, and I could have done it earlier but cannot because if I don't know the spell I do not know the counter spell." She replied.
"Ok, but the first thing I will do is teleport myself back here." She said angry at discord. So the two princesses went back to the castle.
"Twilight! Your back, oh I was getting so worried, I don't know what I would have done if you went missing." Said Rarity with a very relieved voice.
"Yes well one I've undone the spell I'm just going to go strait back to my little spot right at the back of Canterlot garden." She said rolling her eyes. Her horn started to light up and she did her counter spell. Discord was free and he felt like strangling Twilight at this point but he didn't because he would have gone into a lot of trouble with Celestia, and from what Twilight did he didn't want to know what Celestia could do.
"Ok I should get going now." Twilight said at last.
"Going where Twilight?" asked Fluttershy.
"To where I should have stayed." She said coldly. Once she had gone and they were all sure she had they all started to talk about how Twilight had done a powerful spell on her own, a kind of spell like the one the elements of harmony did to discord, before he was reformed.
"Now how in the hay did Twilight do that!" started Apple Jack, who was the first to talk.
"I do not know but honestly I would have been better with the rainbow." Said Rarity.
"I dunno but something tells me that it wasn't just the powers that did that." Said Rainbow-Dash with a sigh.
"It wasn't." said Screwball all of a sudden who was standing outside the door.
"How do you know?" asked Fluttershy.
"I do because she told me." Replied Screwball, "Her powers react up to how she feels, if she is scared she does a spell that sometimes she does not know what type, it's a way of protecting herself."
"I guess that explains a lot at this point." Said Princess Luna who had woken up because of the racket.
"Screwy please say that you really aren't dating a changeling." Said Discord after his long-time of silence.
"No dad I'm not dating one, he is my friend, and he is helping us, oh and I think you might own an apology to Twilight, she knew, and she was carful with all of her decisions, just because we are working with one that doesn't mean that we totally trust him, every time we go see him she puts a protection spell on both of us." She responded.
"I think that screwy is right discord, you have to go say sorry, even if you don't want to it's the right thing to do." Said Fluttershy.
"Why do I have to? She was meant to tell us and see if we were ok with it, then none of this would have happened." He replied mad.
"Yes but she did not want to free you from that spell and she still did it because she knew it was the right thing to do." Said Celestia defending her student's side.
"Fine I will try to say sorry, but I won't guarantee anything." He groaned. So once discord found out where Twilight was he went to say sorry. Twilight was looking at the same picture that she and Flash had took, they were both doing weird and funny faces together back at when they were just friends. The young princess sighed and wished so hard that he would come back home, at this point she would do anything to get to him.
"You can come out Discord." She said all of a sudden.
"How did you know I was here?" he asked once he had come out of his hiding place.
"That is something I don't wanna tell you." She said with a sigh, "Do you need anything? "She said with a smile in the end.
"Uhh, sort of, I came to say... I... I'm… I'm sorry." He said in the end.
"It's ok Discord no harm done." She said with a small smile.
"Really?" he asked surprised.
"Yes you were only doing what dads do, and I don't blame you for that." She said looking back at the picture.
"You really miss him don't you?" he said with a sigh.
"Like I said to Princess Celestia, more than anypony in the world." She replied with a sigh.
"I guess, but really he is that important to you?" he asked
"Like Fluttershy is to you and we have our own secret, one that we are meant to say once our wedding ceremony is done, but that is going to be in a long time." She said with a sigh.
"And that is what? If I get to know." He said with a devil like smile.
"Only if you promise to not say it to anypony, which goes especially to my brother." She replied.
"Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." he chanted.
"Were're having a baby." She said with a breath.
"Already?" he asked surprised.
"That was his reaction to, but yes, don't tell anypony." She said
"I promised not to tell so I won't." he said crossing his heart like in the pinkie promise.
"Right, you should go on, or Fluttershy will start thinking that you've gone missing as-well."
"Anymore Clichés Twilight?" he asked before he went.
"Nope, just be careful with what you say." She said. Discord rolled his eyes and left Twilight alone, she however gave one big sigh and took out a spell from a secret compartment in her frame.
'Should I or not?' she asked repeatedly in her mind all the time, " Maybe not." She added in the end, as she put her note away back from where she first put it.
All of the ponies were waiting in the room, and they were all calm, well almost calm, Fluttershy was the one who was about to go crazy because Discord had been gone for a very long time.
"Hello everypony I'm back." He suddenly said, Fluttershy gave a big sigh of relief.
"Where in the name of Equestria have you been?" Asked Fluttershy breathing hard.
"Just doing like screwy said." He replied. Out of no-were, a letter appeared Princess Celestia picked it up and gave a gasp.
"What's wrong princess?" asked Fluttershy worried.
"I think we need to get Princess Twilight here in hoof." She replied with a very scared face.
