Ch.8: Cuddling in a Cave

Outside the cave at the outskirts of Winsome Falls, Princess Celestia appeared in a flash of golden light. She then looked up at the beautiful view just about ten miles behind the cave. The rainbow-colored falls were shimmering in the light of the morning sun, making her think of gems well polished to the point of perfection. It makes her think of the times she and Discord would take Luna there every summer back when she was a small filly waiting to earn her moon Cutie Mark.

But now is not the time to dwell on the past; Celestia has to meet up with Twilight about what she has found. She then walked up to the cave and called out to her student.

"Twilight," she called into the cave. "Are you in there? It is I, Princess Celestia. I got your letter and came over here right away."

"I am inside, Princess," her student's voice called back to her from within the cave. "I think it's best that you come inside and see this for yourself; I don't think it's a good idea to bring it out into the open." With an understanding nod at her caution, Princess Celestia made her way into the cave. As it was getting dark, she activated her horn's magic to light it up.

A few minutes later, she reached a lit area. Only instead of Twilight and the magical device she was talking about, she saw Discord lying on a pile of large silk pillows surrounded by lit candles, a lit chandelier hanging from the ceiling lighting up the area more. Celestia stepped back as he looked at her with a flirty smile.

"Glad you can make it, Princess," the Draconequus said in Twilight's voice before his voice became normal. "Or should I say…Tia."

"Discord!" She then turned to run but stopped when she saw Garble and his gang blocking the exit. She felt her heart jump up into her throat when she saw the smaller dragon among them, looking at her with angry eyes.

"Spike?" She didn't have time to react when Discord threw his tail around her and pulled her onto the pillows and into his arms.

"You're quite the catch," he purred. "You know that?"

"What have you done to Spike?!" she demanded.

"Oh, the little dragon?" he asked. "He's just going through a hard time because over one of your Bearers of Harmony Rarity. You know, the white Unicorn with the three-diamond Cutie Mark?"

Garble blinked with shock. He remembers her; she's one of the two Unicorns who tried to protect Spike when he refused to smash the egg. As he recalled from what Spike told him before that, he has a serious crush on her. Could she be the cause of his Dragonheart Broken?

"So I take it we've made our payment to ya?" asked Smokes.

"You have," Discord answered as he nuzzled into his neck. "Feel free to do whatever you like now." The dragons then left, Spike right next to Garble who now knows what he has to do…before it's too late.
