A New kind of Chaos

The Agreement

Diamond continued to flap her wings as fast as she could. She opened her eyes to find she was almost to Canterlot mountain. She flew up to reach the top of the mountain. Surprisingly, the very top of the mountain had a flat, diagonal slop. Diamond used her magic to check if it was stable. Seeing that it was fine, she took a seat in the light snow. Finally, she was able to let out her sorrows with a sigh.

"The first real friend I've ever had, and his friends tried to make me crack. I guess they kind of did." Diamond said, before bursting into tears. She buried her face in her hooves.

Back at Fluttershy's house, Discord was worrying. "Why didn't I stop her? Why did I get angry in the first place? Oh, where could she be?"

"Calm down, Discord. I'm sure she's just fine." said Twilight.

"But what if she's not!" Discord said, his eyes filling with tears. "What if she gets hurt?" Discord finished, as he buried his face in his paw.

"I just can't believe she's an alicorn." said Pinkie. "I mean, think about it. 5 alicorns in Equestria. Or could there be more?"

"That's not important right now, Pinkie. We need to find her." said Fluttershy.

"Why? She's the one that would not answer our questions." said Rainbow.

"Maybe that's true, but did you see how happy Discord was when we meet her. He's had nothing but good things to say about her since he meet her. Have you thought that maybe Discord likes Diamond as a little more than a friend?" said Fluttershy to Rainbow.

"You're saying Discord may 'like' Diamond? But I thought he kind of had a thing for you." said Rainbow. "And he had a thing for Celestia."

"Maybe those things are true, but I never saw him so happy then when he was sitting next to Diamond. We have to find her. For Discord's sake." Fluttershy said.

"Er, fine. Lets' find Diamond." Rainbow said, as she flew out the window. "I'll check near Cloudsdale. Then I'll check near the crystal mountains. See you later." Rainbow shouted, as she flew off.

"Alright than, Applejack, you check near Western Equestria. Pinkie, you check Eastern Equestria. Rarity, Southern Equestria. Fluttershy, stay here with Discord. And I'll check up in Canterlot. Everyone clear on where to go?" Twilight said. Everypony nodded, as they all headed out the door. "We promise, we'll find her." Twilight said to Discord.

Discord didn't speak. He already wrapped himself up in his tail. Twilight assumed he would say yes, so she walked out the door, and started flying up to Canterlot.

Back up on the top of the mountain, Diamond had finished her crying. She wrapped her wings around her body, as she curled up to go to sleep. But when she was about to fall asleep, she was tapped on the back with a hoof. "Diamond?" asked a familiar voice.

Diamond looked up to see Twilight staring down at her. "What do you want Twilight?" Diamond said, glaring up at Twilight.

"I'm here to take you back to Discord." Twilight said.

"Why? So his friends can ask me more uncomfortable questions? No thanks." Diamond said.

"No, it's just, Discord is a mess. He can't stop crying. I don't know why." Twilight said, tapping her chin with her hoof.

"Yeah, I saw he was crying before I left. I can't explain it either." Diamond said, now picking chunks of snow out of her mane with her magic.

"I think I know why." said a kind, gentle voice. Both Twilight and Diamond looked up to see a pink pony flying over them, landing in the snow beside Twilight.

"Cadence? What are you doing here?" Twilight asked.

"Twilight, I am the princess of love. I know when there's a problem involving love. And this is one of those problems." Cadence said, closing her purple wings. "I heard about Diamond's problem."

"So, how do we fix it?" Twilight said.

"First, Diamond, you have to go back to Discord. It's clear for any caring pony to see that Discord cares for you far greater than just a friend." Cadence explained.

"Yeah, I remember Fluttershy telling Rainbow Dash that she could see that Discord was quite happy when he was near Diamond." Twilight said.

"Yeah, Twilight, I know you are the princess of friendship, but friendship only goes so far. Once it goes past friendship, then it's my problem. Diamond, have you noticed Discord acting strange lately?" said Cadence.

"He's been acting strange since I meet him." said Diamond. "He's been so kind and generous and he's been trying his best to please me since I got to his house."

"It is so obvious. He does like you." Cadence said, trying her best to sound quite wise.

"What? No he doesn't." Diamond said.

"Deny it all you want, but it's true." Cadence said, now placing her hoof on Diamond's shoulder. "You need to tell him how you feel before it's too late."

"But, I don't know how I feel about it." said Diamond.

"What do you mean you don't know? It's simple, you do or you don't." said Twilight, starting to get impatient with the whole scene.

"Twilight, you have to be patient with these sorts of things. But still, it's wise if you choose before Discord does. I remember the last time Discord fell into a hopeless love. When he fell in love with Celestia and was rejected, that's what caused him to take over Equestria. You have to choose before he does something dangerous with his rage." Cadence said.

"Well, I guess I kind of like him. Maybe I should take this chance." Diamond said, as she shrugged her shoulders.

"Are you crazy?!" shouted Twilight. "He is the Lord of Chaos. And you are a pony. It won't work out."

"Twilight," Cadence said to Twilight. "I know it may seem unimaginable to you, but if this is what Diamond wants to do, we have to let her go along with her decision." Cadence then turned to Diamond. "We aren't forcing you to do this, but if you want to..."

"I want to." said Diamond, getting back up on her hooves. "I have to see Discord." Diamond said, as she extended her wings and took to the sky. Twilight turned to Cadence.

"Thanks for the help, Cadence." Twilight said.

"No problem. Now I better get back to the Crystal Empire before anypony finds me missing." Cadence said, as she extended her purple wings and headed back up north. Twilight took to the sky, trying to catch up with Diamond.

As Diamond flew, she began to think. 'I need to tell Discord before it's too late."
