(Chapter 9...right?)

(Correctomundo! No idea why I just said that.)
(okie dokie then.)

(So, does La Mode wake up first? Or is it Shocka?)
(who's the Cursed one…..)

(Ok. Ladies first, then.)
Shocka woke up to the sound of ponies talking outside."What in the hey is going on?"

The door opened, and Discord poked his head in. "Knock, knock."
"Come in Discord.."

He walked in, smiling. "Rise and shine! Today's a big day!"
"Why if i may ask?"

"I'm taking you on a little tour of Equestria, starting today! Cadence and Celestia thought you should acquaint yourself with the country." He pulled out a suitcase. "Anything you need to pack?"
"I just wish i brought my phone with me from my world so i could continue my billion stories and maybe watch youtube."

"YouTube?" He scratched his head. "I forget what that is. It seems to ring a bell…"
"its a website that you can post videos on….OMG i just remembered! i need to see if Episode 10 of Bride of Discord is on!...dont ask"

La Mode poked his head in. "It's not. I should know."

Discord looked extremely confused, but decided to let it go. "So, how about some breakfast before we head out?"
Shocka looked at La Mode and Discord."...i...i guess"

La Mode nodded. "I already ate, so I'm good."

Discord snapped his fingers, and a tray appeared in his….paws? Claws? Let's go with hands, it's easier that way. "What would you like for breakfast?"
"hmm, cereal and a strawberry danish please"

"No sooner said than served!" He handed the tray, now full, to her. "I'll be right outside when you're ready to go."
"Thanks Discord"

He smiled as he closed the door behind him.
(So, my turn now?)
(hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…..sure)

La Mode cracked his neck. "So, when does this tour begin, Cadence?"
"When your friend is ready"

"Alright." He turned to Discord. "You seem to be taking a liking to Shocka...any real explanation for that, or is it just random?"

Discord poker faced. "I have no idea what you're talking about, dear sir."

La Mode chuckled. "I see." He sat back on the bench, trying to get comfortable. "At this rate, I'll never get used to this form."
"Boys…..when shall they learn?" Shocka walked out of her room her main up in a ponytail.

La Mode looked up. "Hey, Shocka."

Discord stared for a second, then regained control over his limbs.
Shocka looked at Discord."you okay Discord? It looks like you're trying not to explode or something."

Discord chuckled nervously. "Now where'd you get that idea?"
"Your shaking like your freezing….is there something wrong or on your mind?"

La Mode held a laugh in. "Well, how about we head out?"

Discord gave a -thank you- look.
"Sure Mode, oh did i tell you this one time.." She continued chatting as she and La Mode headed towards the door.
Cadence nudged Discord."Is there something on your mind? You're not acting like yourself."

Discord shook his head. "Wish I knew."
"Can you try to explain i might know or understand at least."

Discord smiled. "I'll be fine. You worry about your guest."
"Discord...tell me please. You're not acting like the lord of chaos that i know."

"Well, La Mode got the message. You can ask him." He then followed Shocka and La Mode outside.
While Discord was explaining something to Shocka Cadence walked up to La Mode and asked."La Mode do you know whats going on with Discord? Hes not acting like himself."

La Mode smiled. "Did you not get it? He's come down with a deadly virus that a pony, or draconequus, gets only a few times in their lives."
"I'm not catching on.."

"Look at the way he looks at her, already! He's obviously fallen for her! He's just not ready to admit it yet."
"Oh, it is obvious. How did i not see it!? I'm the Princess of Love!"

He chuckled. "Well, how about we see how far this goes?"
" Agreed, i wanna see if she can look past the Draconequus part and see what's inside."

La Mode nodded. "But they shouldn't know we're watching them. That might make it backfire."
"Yeah."

He cracked his neck again. "So, we going now?"
"Yeah there's a small cliff above them we could watch from there."

"Good idea!"
Cadence teleported them to the cliff."okay, plan is in action!"

(Ok, switching back to Shocka and Discord.)
Shocka looked at the statue in front of her."Still don't get why you have Myths like this.I mean Lost Princess? what the hay is that about?"

"Well, I'm not actually allowed to explain that...plus, as I've got a lot to catch up to what Equestria is like right now, I'm not sure I'm the best one to tell you."
"In my world there are myths that are quite interesting…..not ones that attract the paparazzi!"

"Well, that's Equestria for you."
"True."

He walked next to her. "Last time I saw your world, it was in the Dark Ages, I think."
"heh, i live in 2014 and my is it ever boring…. except me having the greatest BFFFL ever...i sure do miss her. She loves the show your world is because of me."

"Really?"
"yeah, and the second movie it was amazing...except you were not in it! i was pissed when you were just shown in a short...which was not IN THE MOVIE!"

"I see." He sat down on a bench.
"But Discord...can i tell you something? if you promise not to tell anypony ESPECIALLY LA MODE!"

Discord nodded, and said pony chuckled as he watched them.
"Well...i'll explain after but i..i wanna start….wanna start um..Cutting as its called in my world."

La Mode stopped, and stared.

"Cutting?"
"its when a girl mostly has to much depression and to take her mind off that pain she causes more pain by cutting her wrists or something with a knife or sharp object.. and its bad because she can lose lots of blood then it would kill her. but i've had enough i've been strong for too long...its hard living my life and staying strong" Shocka curled up and leaned on Discord.

Discord nodded. "Tell me about it."
Shocka looked down as a tear rolled down her cheek.

"Come now, don't cry." He gave her a handkerchief.
Shocka looked at Discord with confusion."Why are..are you being so nice? so...non-chaotic?"

Instantly, the handkerchief blew water in her face.

La Mode, from his shelter, quickly put his hoof in his face to keep from laughing.
"nevermind…"

Discord fell over laughing. "SO SORRY….COULDN'T HELP IT!"
Shocka just starred with anger."wow, real mature Discord….what am i saying this is the Lord of Chaos…..there is no mature in his book."

La Mode, his hoof still stuffed in his mouth, looked at Cadence, and motioned for her to slap him in the face.
Cadence shook her head and whispered."why La Mode..?"

La Mode lifted his other hoof, and wrote in the ground. The message read: JUST DO IT!
Cadence shook her head again."Not unless you tell me why…"

La Mode motioned to his face, and wrote again. WE CANNOT BE HEARD, SLAPPING ME WILL HELP THAT!
"if you say so…" Cadence slapped La Mode.

La Mode pulled his hoof out, and massaged his cheek. "Thanks."
"No Problem La Mode"

He then looked over the ledge at the two laughing figures below.
"Let me guess...they're hitting it off?"

"You could say that."

"Thought so"

(You think that's enough for this chapter?)
(yeah, seems like enough)

(Ok, onto chapter 10!)
