Never knew the truth

Chapter 8: Family Problems

Moonlight was tired and didn't want to stand up. „Discord, it's still night. Why did you wake me up?" Moonlight mumbled. She didn't notice that the sun was out already. „What do you mean 'it's still night'? Celestia called in the day half an hour ago." Discord replied pulling Moonlight out of her bed. Moonlight looked really sleepy but this didn't bother Discord a bit. He had the task to wake her up and that he did.

Moonlight chomped her hair, put on her crown and necklace and went down in the dinning room. At breakfest Moonlight almost fell asleep. Luna knew why she was so sleepy, but if Discord found out he propably freak out and turn the world upside down again, like he did before. „Moonlight, why don't we skip the training today and you take a rest? In your condition it's a bad idea to train your magic." Luna said looking concerned at Moonlight. Moonlight only nodded and stood up. As she walked upstairs, Discpord looked at her with confusion. Why didn't she tell him about her sleepyness?

Moonlight was about to fall asleep than Discord entered the room. „What happened at night, my dear? Mind to tell me?" Discord askedwith a serious look on his face. Moonlight didn't awnser. She promised Luna not to tell Discord that 'he' had visited her. „I really would like o tell you, 'daddy' Discord but 'mommy' Luna forbid me to tell you." Moonlight said in a yawn.

Discord didn't like the fact that Moonlight kept something from him but if he asked more and more she would yell at him or even throw her crown at him. He saw that Moonlight had fallen asleep so he left very quiet her room. 'If I should ask Twilight Sparkle if she can help me find out what's wrong with Moonlight?' Discord thought and with a snap of his finger he was gone.

In ponyville with Twilight and the others. The Elements of Harmony talked about the gala and why Fluttershy has changed since than. „So what happened between you and Discord at the gala, darling?" Rarity asked Fluttershy. „Nothing, really." Fluttershy replied as her face went red.

„Stop asking her ladies." Discord appeared. „What are you doing here Discord? Did something happen to Princess Celestia and/or Princess Luna?" Twilight asked and went over to Discord. „It's not that, Princess Twilight. I need your help." Discord replied. „Why do you need Twilight's help, Discord? You never ask one of us for a favor." Rainbow said slightly annoyed. Fluttershy glanced over to Discord.

„Well if you don't trust me, i'll have to find another way." Discord said. Twilight was confused. „What are you talking about Discord? Something is bothering you and it doesn't have to do with Fluttershy." Twilight said. She knew that Discord was only concerned about Fluttershy and Moonlight. „Well the thing is that Moonlight is really sleepy and I don't know why. Lulu doesn't allow her to tell me." Discord said a bit sad. He sat down on Rainbow's throne. Everyone looked at him in confusion. „Now to clear this up: Somethings up with ya little Moonlight but she can't tell ya because Luna doesn't allow it. So where is the problem now?" Applejack broke the silence. „The problem is, Apllejack, that Moonlight and I don't keep secrets from one another. Like I really care for Fluttershy and that she never really had a real family." Discord said. He looked in the round and awaited an awnser. „So you want me to find out what's wrong with Moonlight, isn't that right?" Twilight asked. Discord nodded. He needed to know why Moonlight is that way.

But what if Discord didn't like what he would find out, what if he would freak out and create chaos and disharmony again and they had to turn him back to stone? „Twilight no matter what you find out, tell me immetiatly, please. I need to know what's wrong with Moonlight. It's not love that's for suer because she hasn't seen Shadow Blade since the gala." Discord said. Twilight nodded. „Uhm...Fluttershy? Can i ask you something?" Twilight asked turning to Fluttershy. Fluttershy nodded. „Can you take Discord with you, until I found out what's wrong with Moonlight?" It was quiet. „Ok, but be careful. Who knows what Moonlhts's secret is." Fluttershy said. Twilight nodded and they did everything as planned.

Will Moonlight tell Twilight what bothers her?
