Me: WooooHoooo! My hard class is over! AIMS IS OVER! I'm FINALLY FREE! PARTY HARD!

*looks at new classes* ...Spanish? *shrug*

Hey, guys! Ever since Chapter 2 I got a few more followers 'n' stuff! Again, even though the number is small, every single person favoriting and following me and this story is even more motivation to keep on writing! Thanks soo much! I'm sorry it took SOOOO long to get this chapter out! I had to do multiple things for my new classes, as well as AIMS going on, and I'd always be REALLY tired by the time I was done with them and I had free time. Excuses or reasons, it happened, so AHM SOWWEH!

I also forgot to mention that I didn't make the cover picture; it was GeneralZoi on Devianart with his Pony Creator V3. I'm sorry if saying this sounds like an advertisement! I felt that he had to have credit and I'll be putting him and all the other info in the Disclaimer from now on.

Forgetting about that, I'll stop holdin' you back! HERE'S THE LONG AWAITED CHAPTER 3! Enjoy! ^-^

Chapter 3

I was just standing there, glued to the ground and my mouth a gaping hole. They did the same. Well, except for 2 pegasuses (or was it pegasi?) flying in the air.

Then Spike got the courage to speak up from his spot a couple of paces in front of me.

"Um, hey, Twilight!" Spike said a bit nervously towards the pony at the head of the group, trying to save my flank by diverting all the attention off of me. "I saw everything change back to normal. Does that mean you defeated Discord?" That snapped her out of her trance.

"SPIKE!" She yelled at him, even though he was about 5 feet away from her. "Get behind me! We're going to deal with this thing!" She pointed her hoof at me as her horn glowed, surrounding Spike with a pink-ish aura and moving him behind the other 5 ponies.

"W-w-w-what's going on? She doesn't look anything near bad!" Spike said, flailing around as he floated towards the back of the group.

"What do you mean, 'doesn't look anything near bad'?" exclaimed a cyan pegasus flying above her. I turned to her with a puzzled look on my face. She had a rainbow mane and tail and rose-colored eyes. Her cutie mark was a cloud with a red, yellow, and blue lightning bolt erupting from it. "She was detected by the Elements of Harmony! And just look at her!" A hoof flew to my chest, hurt by the insult.

"Indeed, Rainbow Dash," I heard another pony agree behind me. "Just look at all of those shades just standing alone. Not a dash or even spot of yellow to compliment the different blues!"

The blue pegasus faceclawed-or in this case, facehoofed- from her "insult".

"Ah don't think thayat's what Rainbow meant by "just look at 'er", Rarity," remarked the orange pony near the pony named Rainbow Dash, rolling her eyes. Her mane was the pigment of the sun during a sunset, topped with a weird hat with a half circle cut out of the front rim. Her tail was bunched together at the end with a red line, and she had a weird thing going on with her voice.

"Well, at least I care about the physical appearance of... things, Applejack," was Rarity's simple reply. That earned her a confused look from me when I turned to look at her. Her purple mane was perfectly curled, and her baby-blue eyes and the three diamonds on her rump seemed like a bit of sky against her cloud-colored fur. She was only able to see the back of my head as I looked at the cyan pegasus, so as she saw my eyes, she started shuddering.

"Oh, that's what you were talking about. And why does it have hooves like Big Macintosh?"

"Ooh Ooh OOH!" blurted out the pink pony, jumping up and down. Her hot-pink mane and tail were like an uncontrollable mound of cotton candy, a medium strand coming out in the front in a small handle-like way. 3 balloons, 2 of them were blue and one was yellow, the strings the inverse color, seemed to make up her cutie mark. Her sky-blue eyes were wide with curiosity as she looked at me.

"I know! I know! It's-"

"There's no time for guessing games, Pinkie!" the mountain-purple unicorn named Twilight interrupted the pink pony named Pinkie. Her mane and tail were the dark purple sky at, well, twilight, with a baby-pink line going down near the right side, with a light purple line accompanying it. Her eyes were a dark shade of plum, and her cutie mark was a pink, 6-spiked star, a smaller white one behind it, and surrounded by 5 small white ones.

"We have to get rid of it before it does something bad like Discord! If it was detected by the Elements of Harmony as Disharmony, then it can't be a good thing!"

"But I know that it's-"

"Pinkie!"

"I don't think Pinkie was playing a game, Twilight," softly replied the butter-colored pegasus. Her very light pink hair reached to the ground, hiding a bit of her face and one of her aquamarine eyes as she cowered in shyness. 3 cute, soft-pink butterflies decorated her rump as her cutie mark.

"It might actually be innocent. You don't know until you ask-"

"Who cares if it's innocent or not, Fluttershy?" the rainbow pony named, well, Rainbow clopped her hooves together to seem tough. "It's Disharmony! It deserves to be frozen before it does anything that Discord did! Like Twilight's book said, 'Discord is the very meaning of chaos and destruction, and should be defeated at all costs'!"

My eyes widened as big as an owl's as she said those words.

I deserved to be... frozen?

Did they even think about me being a living thing with feelings like them? I wasn't as evil as my Dad! Heck, I never really did like his ideas of chaos when he told me them! All I ever did while I was here was accidentally knock over a pony! That was it! And I deserved to be a statue? Just because my dad was Discord?

I fell onto my tail, my jaw dropping. I began sniffling, my bottom lip started quivering, and before I knew it, I erupted into tears. I covered both my eyes with my forelegs as I bawled, the tears streamed endlessly like a fountain. (Well, I wasn't concentrating enough able to telekinetically keep myself up while using both of my front legs, so I ended up laying down on the floor.) Everyone looked at me in surprise. This strange figure of Disharmony... was crying? Discord didn't do that... why was this thing? I felt them staring straight into my mane in total shock. Nobody dared to move. Even the pegasi stopped beating their wings and stood on the ground, stunned.

After about 3 minutes of my crying, the pegasus named Rainbow flew back up into the air, the menacing look on her face making it clear she was bent on her earlier claim.

"Aw, c'mon guys! This is the best time to strike! If we get it now, it won't be able to fight back, so LET'S DO IT!"

I sat up abruptly, my crying instantly stopping in its tracks.

'No. No. Please, no, no no nonopleasenononono...' I thought, shaking my head a bit with wide and teary eyes, and, to my absolute worst fear, they started towards me, determined faces worn on all of them.

My ears instantly fell and my irises were as small as a bug in fear. I tried to stand up to flee, only to step onto my tail and fall onto my back. Recovering quickly, I used all four of my hooves to shuffle myself back, more frightened than as I possibly ever was, and, soon enough, I felt a wall *thud* against my back.

The pendants upon their necklaces began glowing, and the white light sparked from behind them again while they started floating into their circle. I felt heat radiating from them, I was, after all, only mere feet away from them, and all the while I kept on panicking. I tried walking on the wall again, but I was in too much stress to focus. I just scraped my hooves on the walls, trying to get the trick to work again. The light kept on getting bigger and bigger, the pendants glowing brighter and brighter, and a humming slowly growing from them. I kept on flailing around, hoping that somehow I'd be able to get out alive. The bands of color began to intertwine in between them, and into the glowing pink star on Twilight's head. The tears were drenching my face.

"DADDY!" I screamed at the top of my lungs to the ceiling. "HELP ME!"

Twilight's eyes opened, white like the clouds with no pupils, except they, along with the others' (except Rainbow's), were confused and shocked.

"Did thayat thayng just... tahlk?" I saw Applejack ask with a puzzled expression on her face. "And in Equestrian? Does that mean it-"

"Who cares? We just have to stop it before it does anything!" Rainbow interrupted, eyes still shut. "It's probably trying to make us feel bad so we don't get it! Now, focus!"

Pinkie seemed to frown, and Rarity and Applejack began to look worried. Fluttershy began shedding tears. Even Twilight appeared to be hesitant. But Rainbow seemed determined as ever to imprison me for eternity. Everyone except Twilight closed their eyes.

The light grew almost blinding white, and the ground began to shake. I squeezed my eyes shut, shading them from the white, then I dropped my head in sorrow.

My calls for help weren't answered, and I knew they never would be.

I was never going to be able to see the world, ever again.

I curled up into a ball, and waited for the impact of the rainbow to come. I began to think of what would happen in Chaosopia and what Dad's mind would be "doing" while he was paralyzed for eternity. I thought I'd hear the rainbow bursting out of the top.

But it was silent.

I looked up from my little ball, seeing a rainbow as thin as a pony slither out of the middle of the circle like a snakectopus (a snake with 8 "arms" coming out of its back. It's not as creepy as it sounds.). It weaved around the floating ponies, then "looked" at me. It sped right towards me, then it began circling around me at alarming speed. I began floating up into the air, feeling my legs being thrusted to my sides as I stopped quite a few inches up into the air. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get them to move under my command. It began swirling around me, shaping into what looked like a tunnel, the entrances and exits at my sides.

I struggled and squirmed as much as I could. I thrust my head around, tried to lift my legs from their sides, and even tried to wave my tail around as if I could sweep the rainbow away like a broom to a cobweb. My movements getting more limited and clumsy as I exhausted myself, and when I barely had enough energy to even blink, I accepted defeat.

This was it.

I closed my eyes, a final tear running down my face as I envisioned Dad's fall, and using my last slimmer of hope that I would be able to be placed next to him in my motionless form. The whooshing began getting louder and louder, and unrecognizable sounds began filling my ears, like creatures whispering the world's secrets and things I couldn't understand. Then one sound I thought I'd never hear pierced through them all...

'...Tiny footsteps?'

"No! CC isn't like Discord!" My eyes opened wide and I whirled my head around to see where the shout came from. Spike was charging towards me, leaning over like the hoofball players I've conjured up before. His claws were stretched out in front of him, and a strong-willed look was on his face. He jumped up, landing his hands square on my right side, shoving me out of the rainbow tunnel and getting himself stuck in its suction grip. I flew across the room, slamming into a bookshelf and, surprisingly enough, not knocking any books over whatsoever. I got off of my sore rump to rub my aching head once more, turning around and instantly forgetting about it as I saw Spike taking in my punishment. I smiled, thinking about how I was so grateful to have a friend who would-

Then stone began to crawl up his feet. It crept up his legs, over his knees, and down his tail to the triangle at the end. My jaw dropped, and I mindlessly began running towards him. I knew what happened was wrong, and I had to make sure he didn't have to pay for my consequences. He started to struggle, only to have his actions stuck in place. It reminded me of Dad, making me run faster and faster. I looked up at him, and saw Spike's face morph into Dad's.

"Come here, CC! Come on!" He said, almost as if he was oblivious to the world around him.

"CC... help..." I heard Spike mutter to me, making Dad's face drop back into Spike's. He had a pained look on his face, not being able to breathe since he was being limited by the stone. The grew kept crawling up his neck, and I jumped. It closed in on Spike's top spike. I banged into rock-solid Spike, who had become a statue with a panicky look upon his grey face. The rainbow faded away as I dropped clumsily next to Spike, who fell onto the floor with a *THUD!* that made my heart drop into my stomach.

When the ponies opened their eyes yet again, they gasped in complete shock. I was beyond flabbergasted for a couple minutes, I walked to the now-solidified Spike, hugging him as the tears once again ran down my cheeks. I faced myself at the ponies who had given the first ever living creature I've talked to as a friend the same fate as my dad, my head down in sorrow.

"H-h-h... how could you?" I whispered.

Then I looked up, feeling my pupil-less eyes heating up and turn red as my anger bubbled up inside me and boiled over.

"How, could you?!" I yelled at them, my voice raising. "HE WAS RIGHT! I'M NOTHING LIKE DADDY! I'VE NEVER LIKED HIS IDEAS ABOUT CHAOS, AND HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT HE LIED TO ME?!" I stomped around, still shouting at the top of my lungs as my hoofsteps shook the entire house. The ponies were dumbstruck about Spike being frozen and me causing more damage than a hungry purple snake to cotton candy mice. Books were pounded off the shelves, everything standing except the ponies were being thrown to the ground. The birdhouse plummeted from its mount on the wall as Owlysious shot out of the hole. The sound of breaking dishes was heard in the kitchen, liquids and sauces coating and crawling all over the floor and leaking into our room through the arch.

"THAT'S RIGHT! HE LIED TO ME! HE SAID HE'D MAKE A FAMILY FOR US AND WE'D BE HAPPY FOREVER IF HE WAS BROKEN OUT OF HIS STATUE! WELL, NOW, GUESS WHAT? MY OWN! FATHER! LIED TO ME ABOUT WHO HE WAS OR WHAT HE'D EVER DONE! HE NEVER TOLD ME HE'D MESSED WITH THE ONLY KNOWN RESIDENCE OF DELICATE LIVING CREATURES! AND HE NEVER TOLD ME HE WAS THE INSANE MONSTER THAT I SAW RUIN THIS PLACE! AND HE NEVER! TOLD ME! THAT HE WAS THE LIVING PIKTER OV KAOZZzzz... he's bin lyin' teew meee...abboowwtt... evereeeethin' I nneeeww... abowwwwwttt mi lieefff..."

I had exhausted myself by angering around, black spots began dotting my vision. I started wobbling and wondering off the circle I was going in during my rampage. My voice lowered and my words being spoken very strangely as I struggled to keep myself awake. I felt my eyes cool down as they went back to their normal shade of bright green. My legs felt like jelly as they shook, and my hooves were being clumsily placed. I wasn't stomping anymore, more trying to keep myself actually standing.

"...and... nooowww ssoommmeewwuunn ah... koooooddd truuusstt... wwuuzzzz ttrreeettiiddd juuuussssttt... liiiieeekkk Dddaadddeeee wwuuuuzzz, annnddd aaaahhhhmmmm... loooonnnnlleee... aggiiiinnnnn..."

I murmured just barely loud enough for them to hear, "He was... myyy onleee... frrriiieeennddd..." as I collapsed on the ground next to Spike, hearing quick-paced footsteps getting louder as the ponies began running towards me. I was able to see 6 candy-colored heads loom me with worried expressions on each of their faces, just before my eyes shut.

I opened my eyes, finding myself laying on the stars again. They were the glorious white that I remembered. The beautiful mixture of teal, sea-foam green, and turquoise with stars like fireflies stuck to the sky.

'I wish I could stay here forever so I won't have to be inside a statue. Undoubtedly, those ponies have turned me into one by-'

My thoughts were interrupted as a silhouette with flowing hair came out of a starry, swirling white circle almost 10 feet in front of me on the right side of the star trail. Its head turned towards me with white, soulless eyes, and my stomach did a flip and felt like I was falling.

It was the same figure from when I was dreaming before.

I lifted my hooves to get away, only to find out that my back hooves were like glue, keeping me to the ground and preventing me to flee. It began calmly pacing towards me as I began to struggle, trying to get my hooves unstuck to get away from the hunter. The hoofsteps sounded amplified in my head, echoing dramatically each time they hit the ground. After getting nowhere, I ended up on my stomach and covering my head with my hooves in a feeble attempt to protect myself, shivering the entire time. The hoofsteps got louder and louder, and they finally stopped in front of me. I tensed, expecting the pain of a spear or arrowhead or sword to pierce my back or my head.

But nothing happened. I waited for what seemed like ages.

My shivering subsided, and I finally got the courage to lift a hoof to look at the figure towering over me. My breath was taken away and I stood up instantly when a royal-purple (and royal-looking) pony filled my vision. Her white eyes faded into glittering aqua irises that seemed calm and caring, but stern. Her fur was the color beautiful purple and blue-hued midnight sky, and a black... thing with a crescent moon upon it was around her neck (it was strange... it was shaped like an apron, but small enough to barely cover her front like a mini apron). Her cutie mark seemed to be painted upon her rump. It was like someone purposefully did a clumsy job of splashing black paint onto her, and painted a white moon upon that. It was... beautiful (in a sense). There were light, light purple, glass-looking shoes on her hooves. She was just a little over the height of the ponies back at the tree house, and was almost 1 or 2 hoof-lengths taller than me. I was broken out of my trance of examining her after she cleared her throat.

"THY NAME MUST BE CHAOTIC COLLAGE!" she yelled really loud, scaring me into cringing back into a trembling little ball. "WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING THEE EVER SINCE THOU HAST APPEARED INTO PONYVILLE! WE BE-ETH PRINCESS LUNA, THE PRINCESS OF THE NIGHT, AND THE WALKER OF THE DREAMS OF PONIES!"

I didn't look up, even after she prodded me with one of her glass-shoe-covered hooves. Give me one reason why I should've! She sounded like she could pelt you with a million cakes all at once if you disagreed with her!

"THOU DOESN'T HAST TO BE SCARED, NOR QUAKE IN OUR ! IF THOU HAST THE DARKEST OF NIGHTMARES, WE WILT ALWAYS BE HITHER FOR THEE TO MAKE THOSE MONSTROSITIES DISAPPEAR!" She bellowed, bending towards me and all the while making me do the exact opposite of what she promised. It was quiet for a moment, then I heard Princess Luna shift around as she sat down, curling her legs under her body and sitting down next to me.

"WHAT BE THE MATTER, SMALL ONE?" Princess Luna yelled once more.

"Um..." I stammered from under my 'cover'. "Well... you're kinda sorta... loud?" I was able to lift my leg draped over my eyes to look up at Luna. "It's... really scary..."

"WHY DOTH THIS VOICE SCARE THEE? THIS BE-ETH THE TRADITIONAL ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE! IT IS TRADITION FOR ROYALS TO USE THE ROYAL "WE", AND TO USE THIS MUCH VOLUME WHEN ADDRESSING OUR SUBJECTS!" She thundered as she stood up, getting even more louder and raising a hoof for dramatic effect. A question began to linger in my mind. I was able to sit up to look at Luna, who looked as mightily royal as ever.

"Well... were those other "subjects" scared when you used that voice?"

She opened her mouth to say something, nothing coming out, then closed her mouth again, nodding with a look of regret and sadness on her face. Then she snapped back to her regular form.

"THAT IS NOT WHY WE HATH COMETH TO THY DREAMS, CHAOTIC COLLAGE! WE ONLY CAMETH FOR PRESENTING OURSELVES, AND NOTHING MORE!" She opened her large wings and beat them hard, lifting herself up as another pale, starry circle appeared above us.

"NOW, WE MUST MAKE HASTE, FOR THE NIGHT COMETH, AND THE MOON MUSN'T STAY LOWERED. FARE THEE WELL, FAIR CC! I MAY SEE-EST THEE IN A FEW DAYS TIME!"

The scene began to shiver and fade into whiteness I panicked. I knew that this would be the last time I'd be seeing anything ever again, because I was surely cocooned in stone in the real world.

"Wait! Luna! COME BACK!" I called, running after Luna as she flew through the sky towards the circle. I ran faster and faster every inch she flew closer and closer, and as she barely touched swirling white hole, everything went pitch black.

"PLEASE! LUNA! COME BACK!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. My stomach flew into my throat when I suddenly felt like I was falling down an endless hole, the feeling in my arms and legs disappeared. I felt my body go limp, and I was about to call once more when I blacked out.

Me: GHA! Why do I always have to leave on a cliffhanger!? Oh well... I really hope you enjoyed it! Again, sorry as this took so long to make and get out! WHY DOES LIFE HAVE TO GET IN MY WAY?!

Anyways, be sure to R&R and show some love! I stayed up quite a bit to finally finish this! Tell me if it's too quickly paced or too slow. I'm picking up more ideas from other stories I read and from friends who write books about 99% of their lives. Tell me if there's any typos, too!

Love yah, and see y'all on the next page!
