Darkness was everywhere, surrounding him. Randy started in surprise.
"Are you afraid, little prince?" A dark voice chuckled in his dream.
Flurry Heart still couldn't get that freezing, hurting feeling out of her head. It had been going on since her alicorn powers had kicked in and stopped her scrapbook from being destroyed by darkness.
It was like the darkness had left a trace on her.
At that moment, Discord popped in her room. The princess screamed in surprise.
"Good morning to you too." Discord grumbled, plopping down on her bed that sagged under his weight.
"Um… Can you not do that ever again?" Flurry Heart creid, still shaking after his sudden appearance.
The draconequus sighed deeply and the princess didn't say anything for a moment.
"Hey Discord? Is your magic…" She trailed off.
Discord's mood suddenly brightened. He snapped his claw but nothing happened.
"What?! I held back my incredible powers for years now and princess stuck up-"
"Stuck up?!" Flurry Heart gasped.
"Yes. As I was saying, when you finally want to see it, it's not happening!" The draconequus growled.
Flurry Heart shurgged. "My magic works just fine." She said.
Discord huffed. "Oh goody. Besides, I noticed that just fine last night."
Flurry Heart froze and turned to him.
"D-did I say that out loud?"
The alicorn leapt to her feet and growled. "Why were you up last night? How did you know about my scrapbook?"
"Your scrapbook? I just know you did some mighty deity alicorn power, I can tell when that sorta stuff happens, my dear." He anwsered, a bit shocked at her sudden outburst.
The princess felt her face grow red with embersment and she slowly sat back down.
"Er… I-is your magic… Unusual?" She asked, choosing her words carefully.
Discord laughed. "Hm, maybe."
"No I mean… Like…" She bit her lip but then dragged out the scrapbook. "Like before."
The girl opened it and showed him a page entitled, "The Lord of Chaos"
"Oh…" Discord whispered, looking at the felt cutouts.
"Oh…" He growled again, realizing. He snapped the book shut and pushed it back.
The princess flushed. "I-I'm sorry, I just… Well…"
"I know exactly what you meant. Is my magic evil." The draconequus hissed, his red eyes flashing.
The alicorn stuttered but eventually lowered her head.
"Always assuming the worst! Just like your au-" He stopped.
"My aunt?! I have a aunt? H-how do yo-"
Discord slammed the door and the alicorn chased after him.
Thorax found himself in a dark place as he slept.
"Where am I?" He asked.
Suddenly, a white light pierced the area.
"You are in a dream, Thorax." Said a voice.
A purple alicorn walked to him, looking calm.
"Y-you… You're the princess of friendship!" Thorax gasped.
"That's right and you are Thorax." Twilight Sparkle said, nodding.
Throax looked around then frowned. "Wait… Aren't you-"
"Yes, but that doesn't matter at the moment. I'm here about my niece." The princess replied.
Thorax stared still then put his hoof to his face. "Oh. Her."
Randy woke up with a jolt and stared around his room. The boy slowly got out of his bed when he heard a yell.
"Discord! I'm sorry!" The princess cried.
The yak opened the door to see Flurry Heart was flying after a firmly walking Discord.
"What did you mean about my aunt?" She asked.
"Aunt? You have a aunt?" Randy murrmered.
They turned to him and Flurry Heart squealed.
"I'm sorry! Please don't be afraid of me!" The girl bolted into a hug that knocked Randy to the ground.
Randy laughed and got up. Flurry Heart blushed but giggled.
"I could never be afraid of you, I'm only afraid that I could lose you.." The yak said.
The princess nodded. "Yes! I was thinking the same thing!"
Randy smiled.
Discord walked up to Flurry Heart and saw Randy.
"Oh. You're awake." Discord said, seeming not as happy as Flurry Heart.
"So, did anything happen while I was asleep?"
Flurry Heart shook her head with a smile. "Nope! Just me worrying about you!" Her smile faded. "I'm sorry about earlier with my scrapbook and… It was an accident!"
Randy seemed to force a smile. "Yes… I know. Where is your scrapbook?"
Discord coughed suddenly. "Right here, actually." He snapped his claw and the princess's scrapbook appeared before him.
The alicorn's cheeks puffed up and turned red. "Give it back! You have no right to have it!"
She hopped, trying to get the scrapbook. Finally, she used her wings to thrust up with all her strength, knocking it out of his claw.
She tried to grab it, but the gravity wouldn't allow it. It was close to the ground when a red aura surrounded it and lifted it up.
Flurry Heart frowned and turned to Discord who wasn't meeting her gaze, he was looking at Randy.
The princess turned and gasped. Randy's eyes burned the same red and it replaced his earlier, calm, green eyes.
"W-what? You have magic too?!" Flurry Heart choked, surprised.
The book dropped to the floor and Randy's eyes flashed from red and green. He suddenly bolted away, leaving Flurry Heart to question what all she knew about love and if not telling her this crucial detail… Made it work.
