Sweet Dreams are Made of Chaos! (Anon x Discord)

>You stroll through the royal gardens, enjoying the sights and scents. Dash is off with Spitfire, watching the Wonderbolts perform. You'd joined her for a time, enjoying the sight of Soarin in his element but you'd never taken as much interest as your friend.

>This was a part of the castle grounds you'd neglected to visit in your previous times here. It's surprising how few ponies are around, given how beautiful a day it is. Trailing beside a long hedge you yawn. There hadn't been much sleep last night...

>You're pulled out of your thoughts by a strange sight: a massive statue of some bizarre creature lies dead ahead. It's... well, it's a combination of various creatures, it looks like. You'd never seen anything like it before.

>Interested, you make a bee-line for it, stopping when you see a plaque on the platform it's on.

>'Discord - spirit of chaos and disharmony, sealed forever more by the Element of Harmony.'

>Ah, so -this- is Discord. Twilight had told you once of how he'd been freed, only to rampage across Equestria, turning her friends against one another and making lives miserable. You smirk, looking up at the statue, its face frozen in fear. A suitable punishment.

>You yawn again, leaning against the platform. There's some nice shade in its shadow, maybe you could just take a little nap to catch up on your sleep...

 

>You're walking down one of Canterlot's main streets, various buildings lining each side. From down a ways, thumping music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPfMb50dsOk) emanates from one of the clubs. The sound of it draws you in and the bouncer readily stands aside as you approach.

>Inside, it's much clearer. Ponies dance and drink, talk and laugh as strobe lighting flashes about. Some are even upon the walls and why not! This is a place to have fun.

>Despite the sorrowful tone of the lyrics of the song, the DJ seems happy enough, smiling as he sways from side to side. The white stallion raises a hoof to you, waving it. You wave back, seems like a nice guy.

>A rich laugh calls out from a balcony above you. "Anon! So glad you could make it, come on up!" A pony waitress stops you momentarily, pressing a glass into your hands. The brown liquid begins to float out of it as you tip the glass upside-down and catch it. You dearly hope no-one's seen how you forgot that.

>Up the stairs the laughter continues but is now joined by more. One is a deep male, the other a light and airy female.

>"Oh Discord, how ever could we have doubted you!" The female voice says. "Everything is just so much more... fun, now!"

>"Not to worry, my dear, I'm back in the driving seat and that's how it's going to stay." The voice from before says.

>Discord? Yes, you remember Twilight talking about that name. Wasn't he imprisoned in stone? What's he doing in one of Canterlot's clubs?

>Reaching the top of the stairs you stop, seeing a bizarre sight. Some... creature is reclined on one of the couches, a mare and stallion leaning over him, laughing.

>"Ah, Anon! I was worried you mightn't come! Come on, have a drink, sit down, it's time to celebrate!" Those red and white eyes sparkle as he speaks.

 

>You turn to your glass, most of the liquid still in it. You pull it close, sipping from underneath it. It tastes... alcoholic but also sweet and slightly like cocoa.

>"You like it? I've been working on a new concoction I'm sure is more to your tastes." With a snap of his fingers a glass of the brown stuff is levitating by his side.

>"Yeah, it's okay." You lean back against the railing of the stairs. "What're you doing here anyway?"

>Discord waves a paw, smirking. "Oh you know how it is being trapped in the stone. It's so... boring!"

>"And lonely." The stallion mutters, pressing a hoof to Discord's chest. "Somep0ny as fun as you should never have to be alone."

>"Alas!" Discord throws a paw to his head. "I am doomed to be misunderstood by small minds! Minds that can't understand the joy of an unordered life." His eyes open to half-lids. "Not like our dear, Anon."

>"Oh no, -he- understands!" The mare says. "Why his mind is so beautifully cluttered and disorganised."

>"And so very, very dirty." The stallion mutters, grinning at you. "It's not me you should be having those thoughts about."

>"Indeed." Discord rises and slowly walks over to you, leaning down to be eye-level. "Do you know what it's like watching ponies come and go? Listening to them chatter so happily? And all without an ounce of chaos!" He snaps his fingers and in a flash you're back at the castle gardens. Looking about his statue is gone. Makes sense.

 

>"Now, why don't we clear a few things up, hmm?" He leans down and puts a claw to your forehead. Understanding washes over you.

>This... This is Discord! Ancient god of chaos! Escaped! You've got to get the guards, get Twilight and her friends, get someone!

>"Hmm, maybe I gave you too much credit." The god murmurs above you, floating lazily. "Let's try that again." He reaches down but you jump away.

>"Stay away from me!" You take off, running in the opposite direction to him, cackling following after. The land begins to shift and warp beneath you, colours changing rapidly. You're knocked off your feet and a with a flash in front of you Discord appears.

>"This may be -your- dream but I still exert some control here." With you still struggling to your feet his claw touches you again. You feel... nothing. "Hmm, perhaps I'll need a little more time for that. No matter! We can just do it the old fashioned way!"

>With another click of his claws and a flash you're... in a bedroom? It looks familiar, as do the plush surroundings.

>"It should, isn't this where you despoiled that innocent wretch?" You look to see Discord reclined on the bed, a wide grin on his face. "Interesting memories you have of that, you know, but a little on the boring side. I think we both know how to spice things up!"

>Another flash and now... Discord is right on top of you. Something feels very soft underneath you as you're now lying on your back. Clouds pass over the blue sky above. The god pulls back from his position.

 

>"This delicious location should be far more to your liking." You turn to one side and see you're lying on something fluffy and pink. "Go ahead, it's supremely sweet." He flumps down beside you with a soft pomf.

>"No? Perhaps you'd like me to choose?" A claw slides along the fluff, gathering it before he places it at your lips. "Go ahead." He grins.

>You consider your position: He said this is just a dream so you should be safe. Even so, you'd rather not take a chance with a being of his power. Maybe you could just humour him until you wake...

>You flick your tongue out to be greeted by an explosion of flavours: strawberry, raspberry, redcurrant, cranberry, pomegranate... and sweet! So very sweet! Your tongue flicks out again, slowly licking along the claw.

>"I suppose I should be flattered." A lion's paw settles over your waist. "I can already tell you're still worried. It's not like I can just take control of your body and wreak wonderful havoc once more." The grin widens as he leans closer, whispering. "Or can I?"

>You shudder and aren't sure whether it's because of the tone he uses or how soft and warm his breath feels. No! Ponies... that's one thing, it's not like you have a choice now but Discord? God of chaos and... whatever he is?

>"It's just a dream." He whispers sultrily. "And I've been so lonely. I thought you liked helping ponies that're lonely."

>"You're not a... pony." You mutter, turning aside. Why is there no land off from the fluff? You rise and look over, seeing empty air for hundreds of feet below.

 

>This's... This is actually not that bad. You'd fantasised idly before about what it must be like to be a pegasus, able to take to the skies at will. And here you are, floating across it on a cloud of cotton candy.

>You turn back but Discord's gone. Turn around once more and he's floating in front of you grinning. "Yes, I knew you'd like this. You, at least, appreciate the less organised parts of life." He quickly darts in, lips touching yours. Fuck!

>You pull back as Discord cackles. "Expected me to go over for something as normal as mares? Oh pshaw, what fun is there in that?" He floats across you, settling his weight half on you. "Besides, we're both strangers in this world, alike in our own ways."

>Your breathing picks up, feeling his warmth upon you. No... No, you shouldn't like this. You can't! It's too... Too...

>"Chaotic? Isn't that what you've been looking for?" Discord repositions himself back at your side. "Don't deny it, Anon. After all, if this is just a dream then where's the harm?"

>Your arm slowly rises to his side. The soft brown fur feels good against your fingers. Maybe, if it's -just- a dream, you could see where this goes.

>"And we can make such sweet... chaos, together."

>The voice fades as you close your eyes and lean forward...

 

>You snap forward, eyes popping open. You're sitting on the grass of the castle gardens, no longer in shade. You look up, seeing the statue of Discord above you and the sun now in your eyes.

>How long had you slept? And what was up with that dream? Rising, you shake the sleep from yourself and start off, eager to be away from that odd statue.

>No, not odd, just... different. And like Thunderlane had said, different isn't always bad..
