A New kind of Chaos
The Change
As Discord approached his home, he took a moment to stare into the mountains. 'What will I do now that she knows? I should know what to do, and I don't. What to do? What to do?' he thought as began to pace.
Diamond was watching Discord pace from one of the high up windows, letting her hooves hang out of the window. 'What is he doing? Why isn't he coming inside?' Diamond thought, as she stretched her wings, and jumped out of the window, gliding into Discord's view.
"Hey, Discord." Diamond said, as she continued to flap her wings and hover over Discord's head.
"Oh, Diamond. What are you doing?" Discord asked, as he waved his lion paw, to show he wanted personal space.
"I just thought..." Diamond said, as she floated down to the ground, landing on her hooves and folding up her wings. A tear came from her eye.
"No, no, no, no. I didn't mean it like that, Diamond." Discord said, lightly stroking her mane. Though Diamond felt upset with him, she always liked when he stroked her mane. "Why don't we go inside?" Discord offered. "I think we need to talk about some things."
"Okay." Diamond snuffled, as she wiped the tear off her cheek. Discord used his tail to lift her into his lion arm, as he snapped his talons. They both appeared in Discord's reading room. It was relatively new, because it was made for Diamond. Discord made two dark purple cushions appear, as he took a seat. Diamond lowered herself onto her cushion. "What do we need to talk about?" Diamond asked.
"Well, I thought that we are... What are we now?" Discord asked.
"I don't exactly know." Diamond said.
"Well, I guess titles aren't really important right now. We'll figure it out later. But because of the what happened earlier, I will be keeping my distance from you. Not because I don't like you, but I will need time to, you know..." Discord stuttered.
"Yeah, I get that. But how? There's only so much space in this castle, and you put my room right next to yours." Diamond explained.
"Well, I'll just move my rooms to one side of the castle and move your rooms closer to your bedroom." Discord said, moving his glowing talon to create a map to show Diamond the new floor plan.
"Okay. What else?" Diamond asked.
"We will still see each other during meal times, but during those times, we will discuss when we want to spend time together." Discord said.
"I know you're trying to make this easy for us, but with all the organization, you kind of sound a lot like Twilight." said Diamond.
"Are you calling this new plan boring? Are you calling me boring?" Discord said, as his eyebrows lowered to express his anger.
"And you say I have a huge temper. What I'm thinking, is that we see each other whenever we want to, but still keep our rooms apart. For now." Diamond said.
"Oh, that's what you meant. Actually, that sounds better then my plan." Discord said. "So, let's try it out." Discord finished, as he moved closer to Diamond, and gently rubbed his muzzle on her's. During this, Discord wrapped his tail around Diamond, and moved himself closer to Diamond. As he pressed his muzzle harder on her's, she kissed him on the lips.
As they kissed, Discord wrapped his arms around Diamond's back, while her hooves landed on his shoulders. Diamond felt something inside her break again. She loved the chaotic snap she got when she was around Discord. He fulfilled her expectations of chaos, and brought more. She forgot every thought as Discord leaned in closer to have her back gentle lower to the floor.
Suddenly, a blue flash entered the room. "Discord, I need to talk to you." A regal voice said. The voice belonged to Princess Luna. Luna looked around the room, only to find that near the fireplace, Diamond Dust and Discord were 'making out'. Luna hid behind one of the bookshelves. 'Is that Diamond Dust? With Discord? How did this happen? Well, they are both chaotic creatures. But I must tell Celestia. Not now, but eventually.' Luna thought.
"Diamond." Discord said, breaking the kiss. "Did you hear something?"
"Yeah, it sounded like a pony." Diamond said.
"I'll check it out." Discord said, as he unwrapped himself from Diamond. "You can go to your room, if you like." Discord finished. "You know, for safety."
"Oh, okay. See you tomorrow then." Diamond said, as she teleported herself to her room.
"Okay, who's there? Who ruined my chances?" Discord said, making a sword and shield appear in his talons and paw.
"Discord, what was that?!" Luna said, as she stepped out from behind the bookshelf.
"What do you mean 'what was that'?" Discord said, making the sword and shield disappear. "You ruined my evening!"
"I ruined your evening?! I came here to ask you for a favour, and I see you making out with Celestia's evil former student!" Luna shouted.
"She is not evil! She is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. She may be a bit chaotic, but she is delightful once I got to know her." Discord shouted, now pointing to Luna. "Is it a crime for me to be happy?"
"Only when your happiness is chaotic! And that's exactly what you are going to get from her!" Luna shouted.
"Wow. And I thought you two used to be friends!" Discord shouted.
"We were friends. But when she got chaotic, she destroyed many of Celestia's and my favourite things. She is no friend of mine anymore!" Luna said, as her voice was getting lower with anger.
"So, you went evil too. Don't you remember when you became Nightmare Moon? And you turned yourself around. Why do you think she can't?" Discord said.
"Listen. When she wants chaos, she will cause it." Luna said.
"But I cause chaos too. And I've learned to control my chaotic powers. Why can't she?" Discord said.
Luna huffed, seeing she was losing the argument. She then thought of an idea. "Fine, Discord. I'll make you a deal." Luna started.
"Go on." Discord said, waving his paw to show her to continue.
"I won't tell Celestia you found Diamond, on one condition."
"What is it? Let's get this over with." Discord said.
"If you can teach her to contain her chaotic magic like you have, I won't tell Celestia. But if she has a chaotic breakdown like before, I will be forced to tell Celestia." Luna explained.
"And what happens if I can't get her to control her chaos before she has a chaotic breakdown." Discord questioned.
"Well, she's be arrested and sent to the crystal caverns, like we tried to do before." Luna said, looking off into the corner.
"So, what am I supposed to do to help her contain her chaos?" Discord asked.
"Well, teach her to use it in small doses. Oh, and if she doesn't use any chaotic powers in about a month, they will build up and cause a breakdown in her." Luna said.
"Uh, translation." Discord said.
"Let her use her magic in respectful ways, don't let her chaotic magic build up, and keep your distance from her, if you know what I mean." Luna said.
Discord understood the first two requirements, but the last one puzzled him. Luna rolled her eyes, as she flew up to Discord and whispered something in his ear. "Oh," he quietly said. "Oh," He said louder, as his eyes grew large. "I think I get it." He said. "And I think you explained it a little too much." He finished, as he used his lion paw to push Luna away.
"I believe we have an understanding then." Luna said, as her horn started to glow blue, as she teleported back to Canterlot.
Discord stared at the fireplace. "What am I going to do?" He said, as his ears dropped to the sides of his head. He quietly snapped his talons, making a picture of him and Diamond appear above the fireplace. He snapped his talons again to teleport himself to his room.
In Canterlot, Luna appeared in her room with a blue flash. "I hope I can trust him with this task. Or else we will both have failed." She said to herself, as she climbed under her moon and star comforter, and rested her head on her blue pillow. "Good luck, Discord. You'll need it."
