Discord bowed his head awkwardly, clearly not used to doing so in an honest way. Fluttershy poked his side

“Go on, say it”

Discord mustered up his strength and looked at Celestia

“fiiiiiine…Friendship is Magic”

Celestia smiled “Well done Fluttershy, I knew you could do it, although I’ll be leaving the Elements here with you all, I definitely sense a big change in Discord now”

She then motioned to Discord “You are free to stay here with Fluttershy if she so allows it, for the time being until I have need of you”.

She then turned to Twilight “I’ll be heading back to Canterlot now, I expect that Daybreak should be arriving back at any moment”

Twilight looked puzzled “How do you know that Princess”

In the distance there was a large flash of brown and pinkish light, and the sounds of quickly approaching hooves
Celestia smiled

“Call it an instinct”

She mounted her chariot and signaled the guards to take her back, as they took off, Celestia could see Daybreak running as fast as he could toward the area where Twilight was, leaving Vinyl and Trixie at where they had teleported, attempting to repair the damage to Trixie’s cart the trip had caused.

….

Discord put his fist in Fluttershy’s hair and began to ruffle her mane “Sooooo now should we do now ponies? I don’t know about you but could use some exercise”

Twilight raised her eyebrows “Exercise? Really?”
Discord smiled “But of course”

He bent over backwards to begin stretching his back, there was a quick flash of light and suddenly two of the trees near him began to uproot themselves and start dancing around Pinkie Pie. It only took a moment for Pinkie to join in with a big goofy smile.

Twilight was baffled “Discord!”

“Oh relax Twilight Sparkle, it’s all in good fun, I promise to return them exactly how they were before, I’m on your side now remember? Besides it seems Pinkie is enjoying them…I did say I was gonna stretch, and I am…stretching your patience that is” *rim shot*

Twilight glared despite Pinkie’s yelps of glee as she swung around on the tree branches

“I haven’t forgotten everything that you’ve done to us before. Sure you’re not evil anymore, and you’re Fluttershy’s friend, but it will be a long time before I ever call you my friend”

Discord smiled “I admire the fieriness you’ve got, I can see why my little prince is so very smitten with you”

Twilight glared more, but with a slight curiosity “Why do you call him that, your prince I mean?”

Discord looked as though he had been waiting for that “Well Twilight let me tell you, I’m just dying to blow your mind! Daybreak happens to be my-”

“DISCORD!!!”

The yell echoed across the field and everypony turned to see, none other than Daybreak in full sprint, with a fiery look in his eyes, heading straight towards them.

“Uh Oh..”

Discord and Twilight both spoke aloud, then immediately looked at the each other.

Daybreak ran straight past everypony and, mid sprint, tackled Discord with a force that even made Rainbow cringe. They rolled down the hill they were atop, wrestling with each other the whole way down! Twilight and the others took off after them!

“Rainbow!”

Twilight yelled, and Rainbow Dash took off ahead after them!

As they reached the bottom of the hill, Daybreak and Discord broke apart. Wasting no time, Daybreak let loose a stream of green fire at the draconequus. Discord turned the fire into a stream of balloon animals before it made it half way. He then snapped his fingers and caused the roots of the trees to come to life and ensnare Daybreak.

“Quite a stubborn one, aren’t you, my boy” Discord mocked at him

Daybreak struggled, and sliced the roots off him with his claws, then made another charge at Discord. The draconequus was ready for him though, and as Daybreak neared, Discord threw his own claws outwards and grabbed Daybreaks. Both of them activated magical beams in their palms at the same time as they each tried to squeeze the others fingers into submission. Both of them pushed against each other with magical and physical force. Daybreak had more strength, but it was obvious Discord had much more magical power. There push was even and so they just stood there looking into each other’s eyes. Daybreak glared at Discord, and Discord smirked back at him, the two seemed like they would never move!

Fortunately for them Twilight appeared close by along with Rainbow Dash as their friends still ran to catch up. Twilight enveloped both Discord and Daybreak in their own separate purple bubble, then pulled them apart. Discord could have freed himself, but was having too much fun to care.

“Daybreak calm down, he’s not our enemy anymore”.

Daybreak’s head snapped to face her so fast, it was amazing it didn’t spin right off his head

“What?!”

“I promise to explain everything, if you promise to behave yourself”
He growled, but then nodded, and she released him from the purple prison. As he dusted himself off, Daybreak shot Discord a glare, and strode over to Twilight. He scooped her up in his arms lightning fast and enveloped her in a big hug. He planted a big kiss on her nose

“I missed you Twilight”
Her momentary surprise faded and she snuggled up against his fur, relishing in the instant comfort he always brought her

“I missed you too Daybreak”

He felt a smile form on his lips as he set her down, he felt much better about having to deal with Discord after that.

“Soooo do explain to me please…why Discord isn’t our enemy anymore”

Twilight sat on her haunches and motioned for him to sit, following her example, everypony came in close and sat down while Discord hovered above them humming to himself. She began to explain to Daybreak about the Princess bringing Discord to them and her need for his redemption. She also told that Fluttershy was the only one to truly give him a chance and ended up being the one to show him the friendship he needed. Once Daybreak was satisfied he shot a glance up at Discord. He was hovering above them in a lawn chair, pretending to tan himself.

“Oh are you guys finished?”

Twilight sighed “Yes Discord, he knows the whole story”

Discord chuckled “Oh good, then that means it’s my turn. I suppose it’s only fitting that he’s here now, so that I can blow everypony’s mind at once. It’s almost like Celestia planned this or something”

Daybreak let out a huff, he knew he would regret asking, but he did anyways

“What are you talking about Discord”

A large grin appeared on Discord’s face as he floated down to them

“Before you arrived I was about to reveal the origin of your parentage and where you come from, to your mate here”

Daybreaks eyes went wider than Owlicious, but Twilight spoke before he could

“What?! No, I only asked why you always call him your little prince, and then you said……NO!…You’re lying, that’s not true!!!”

Twilight fell over backwards in terror, and scooted back from her friends. With the thought now hitting them too, they also backed away from Discord. All but Daybreak, who sat next to Discord, stone cold frozen with realization and fear. Discord put his arm around Daybreak, smirking

“The truth hurts, doesn’t it…my boy?”

Twilight was too shocked to speak, but somehow Rainbow Dash managed to ask for her

“How…Discord…you have to be lying…how is that even possible?”

A wild smile appeared over his face as he hovered above Daybreak

“Oh now don’t get me wrong, he is my son. Perhaps not in the sense you’re thinking of though. He is Everything I Didn’t Need…”

“What does that mean?”

Daybreak, having finally spoken, showed his curiosity outweighed his fear. Discord only seemed to enjoy his spawns discomfort and continued his tale.

“There was a time, long ago, much longer than one thousand years, when I was not so evil. In fact, Me, Celly and Loony Luna got along quite well. We weren’t the best of friends, but nor were we enemies either. I used my chaos to keep order in the world. For you see, a world without occasional chaos cannot exist, it’s unnatural, and in my opinion, very boring. Well we coexisted for a time, but as time went on I became to grow more and more bored with the simple bits of chaos I created. I longed for so much more, a being of chaos must so cause. So I chose to create natural disasters, tornadoes and things as such to add a little more spice to my boring job.

Unbelievably Celestia and Luna agreed and said that these things would be good for Equestria, apparently she was right cause now I see you Pegasi create these things instead of me. Well to make a long story short, I began to crave more and more chaos, and became addicted to the destruction and random fear it caused, I might even still be. But there was a part of me that knew what I was doing was wrong, and a part of me that also held an admiration for the two lovely Princesses and their seeming purity. I even considered stopping once if I could make one of them mine. Eventually I began to discover these traits were holding me back from the chaos I truly wished to spread. So one day, on the day I plunged Equestria into true Chaos, I first ripped these traits from my being, and flung them away.

After my defeat at Celestia and Luna’s hooves, that part of me must have needed a new form since I was now cut off from it in stone. So, from what I’ve been able to gather, it latched to Celestia for a time, which is probably what may have caused her to no longer be compatible with the Elements of Harmony eventually. And many years after she defeated her sister, that entity must have finally had enough power to live on its own and broken off from her. Being attached to Celestia for so long must have caused it to take the form of a pony when it gave itself shape, and becoming a unicorn would allow it to use its power more focused. Plus all that time attached to her would cause it to have gathered many more qualities of harmony and friendship.

However under all of that, he is still a tiny me, a Prince of Chaos if you will. Although it seems he has his own form now, probably better suited for his survival. Going through that portal when you were a young colt must have caused you to lose the image that being attached to Celestia gave you. That also explains your Cutie Mark, it resembles Celestia’s in a way, but also gives you your own identity. If you think about it, without him causing Celestia to lose compatibility with the Elements, you six would have never become them. That sounds a bit like irony to me. Or fate if that’s what you want to call it.”

Twilight and the others were speechless, absolutely, one hundred percent, speechless. Daybreak just leaned back on his hands, he didn’t know what to think. However Pinkie Pie seemed to be on a completely different page than anypony else

“So does that mean that Princess Celestia, is Daybreak’s mommy?”

Daybreak and everypony else, even Discord stared at her in disbelief. Daybreak was desperately hoping to hear someone say a reason why that wasn’t true but all he got was a blunt answer from Discord while he shrugged

“hmm…I guess so”

“Does the Princess know about any of this Discord” Daybreak inquired

“Only that I'm your father, nothing else, but I’ll be informing her shortly of the parts she may not know, no need to fret your little pony heads, and don’t worry ‘son’ I won’t be forcing you to call me daddy any time soon”

Daybreak growled back at him feeling an odd amount of anger rising inside him.

"Why not, don’t want to take responsibility for the thing you created, or do you actually feel guilty about being the reason I was put through Tartarus for most of my life. Did you know ‘dad’ that every day was a constant struggle for me. trying not to blow my magical stack all the time, always holding power I didn’t understand and can’t control…”

“Daybreak..”

Twilight placed a hoof on his shoulder, causing Daybreak to look up and actually see his father. Discord did not look sad, but he was clearly not happy either. Daybreak wondered if he really did feel guilty. Daybreak couldn’t help but huff at him

“I guess you have changed, you look like you might actually feel bad about what you did”

Discord grunted “Now that I actually understand what it means to have friends, I can see how what I did was wrong. It never even occurred to me that I might have actually created another life form that day. I’m not gonna ask for your forgiveness, cause that’s just not my style…but I am sorry that you had to go through so much at such a young age back then”.

Rainbow Dash , finally deciding it was time to move on, spoke up to bring them out of their thoughts

“Well, I think the family bonding can wait until later, I for one, am exhausted and am planning on taking a long relaxing nap”

Daybreak nodded, after glancing slightly at Discord

“Yeah, that sounds good Dashie, just give me one second, I have one last surprise for everypony”
He lifted his finger and shot a small spark high into the air, which then erupted loudly and began popping for a brief moment before extinguishing itself.

Everypony looked at him with confused faces until he motioned over to a large patch of bushes. Within a few seconds two ponies emerged from the bushes together and began trotting over to Daybreak. The first one was Vinyl Scratch, who looked happy to finally be out of the shrubs. But the other one, was what caused Daybreak's six friends to jump to their hooves like a battle was about to go down.

Trixie emerged just behind Vinyl and began to cautiously trot over to Daybreak as well. She saw the faces of the others and practically cowered behind Vinyl for protection from their murderous gazes. Twilight was the only one who seemed unsurprised by her appearance, in fact, she seemed rather pleased with herself, as though she had been guessing at this for awhile.

“So it’s true, this is what you’ve been up to. I had wondered if Trixie’s boasting had just reached new heights. But it appears that you really did go and help her with her show. I’m curious as to why though?”

Daybreak smirked, figures Twilight had figured it out by herself, he did love that big brain of hers.

“Even after everything she has done to us, I still thought that she deserved a chance at redemption”

Trixie gave a small smile as Daybreak spoke about her, she was happy that she could consider him a friend now. Rainbow Dash gave Trixie a cold look

“And were you right?”

Daybreak nodded

“Yes she is going to live in Ponyville and promises to behave from now on, right Trixie?”

Trixie nodded hesitantly.

“Trixie is very sorry for the way she treated all of you, she hopes you can forgive her one day”

Daybreak looked at his friends, they all seemed generally surprised at her sudden transformation. Although he still thought Discords transformation was more surprising. He looked over and saw Discord was once again, floating in a lounge chair above all of them, tanning.

After Daybreak and his friends sorted out where Trixie would be living for the time being, they decided to all go back to their respective homes. Rainbow Dash decided to accompany Twilight and Daybreak back home for the night and made it very obvious what she planned on doing to them later. Unfortunately Discord overheard the conversation and said he would meet Fluttershy at home later, instead tagging along with them.

Discord appeared next to Daybreak and began walking with him, although Twilight and Rainbow Dash tried their best to ignore him, it it didn’t work out very well.

“So you three are a group now? A herd I think it was called in my time…Well that’s cute, but I’m curious as to how you can be ok with two mares playing tug of war for your heart my boy?”

Daybreak gave a mischievous look to his father

“What’s wrong father, jealous that the closest you ever got to sex was self replication?”

Discord rolled up into the air laughing

“Oh! That is rich! You think I never had some tail in my times? Just cause these ponies were so fun to torment doesn’t mean they weren’t fun for other things too”

He gave a sly sneer at Twilight next

“So Twilight Sparkle, how does it feel now, to know your getting your lights bucked out by a spawn of Discord”

Oddly enough, it was Rainbow Dash who flared up at that comment. While Twilight just ignored him, Rainbow Dash started to make a dash at him, Daybreak grabbed her by the tail and pulled her down to them in time. Meanwhile Discord just rolled around in the air laughing some more. Eventually he came down once they neared Twilight’s home

“Well all the fun aside, there is one thing I want to do with you, my little prince of chaos”

Daybreak rolled his eyes “What is it”

“I want to teach you how to turn back into a unicorn again”

Daybreak, Dash and Twilight all turned their heads so fast, it was like they were spring loaded. Daybreak and Twilight spoke at the same time

“You...can...what?!”

Discord smiled, clearly pleased he suddenly had their full attention.

“He’s my son, therefore the least I can do is teach him some more advanced magic, including my transformation technique, which he can use to change back into the unicorn you used to know, obviously at his current age though. But we can figure out what that would look like with some relatively simple magic”
Daybreak tackled Discord out of the air in a giant hug, all his dislike towards him practically gone, pinning his arms to his sides, quicker than Discord could blink. Discord struggled to breath

“Well this feels familiar, hopefully this is just a hug and you’re not gonna try and blow me up this time”
Daybreak just squeezed him and yelled

“Thanks you Thank you Thank yoooooooou!!!”

Discord squirmed, desperately trying to break free

“Yes yes fine, you’re welcome, now let me go before somepony sees”

Daybreak released him, and Discord flew up out of his reach

“Geesh, I have a reputation to uphold here, you guys are too huggy for me, I’m heading back to Fluttershy’s. See you ponies tomorrow”.

With that, Discord vanished in a flash of light, leaving Daybreak, Twilight and Rainbow Dash quite dumbfounded in front of the library.

Daybreak heart was racing a mile a minute, he could finally be a unicorn again. He looked over at Twilight hoping to see his excitement reflected, however instead, she looked like she was in shock...or maybe upset. He had been so caught up in wanting his old body back he hadn't even asked Twilight how she felt about it.

"Twilight.."

She looked up from her thoughts and seemed to find his eyes almost instantly. Practically scanning his thoughts out of his mind, she darted forward and hugged him tight, Rainbow also gave him a hug, sensing he was troubled as well.Twilight stepped back after the quick hug, while Rainbow still clung to him

"Daybreak, it's ok, it's your body and your choice. No matter what form or shape your in, I'll still love you"

Rainbow Dash snickered while still hugging Daybreak tight

"Yeah big guy, me too, just don't go growing or changing your lower area, if you make it any larger I doubt me or Twilight will be able to take it anymore"

"Hmm really Rainbow, you sure, I could always ask Discord to teach me how to just change certain parts of my body...maybe double my size"

"NO!"

Both Rainbow and Twilight yelled together, from joking or seriousness he didn't know. He nodded acting almost disappointed, which earned him a slug in the arm from Rainbow's hoof. Daybreak put his arms around his two marefreinds and escorted them inside, preaparing for another sex crazed night with the most beautiful mares in his world!
