It was early the next morning when Discord felt the magical disturbance pass through the Everfree Forest. It was still very dark out as Discord lifted one eye lid and peered towards Daybreak, he was too deep in sleep to have felt the change. Discord lifted his head towards Ponyville

"So you really went through with it, eh Celestia?...You sent her the book...Well that means her final test has started, so we better get started soon as well"

Discord got up and began preparing for the morning ahead.

.....

Discord let Daybreak sleep until Celestia's sun rays struck their clearing, then in the most obnoxious way he could think of, Discord woke up his son. With a quick snap of his fingers, a small waterfall appeared over Daybreak and dropped ice cold water in his face. Dayrbeak shot up inot the air, claws drawn and clearly annoyed, but as he saw only his father was around, he relaxed and adopted a very annoyed look

"Most fathers wake their colts up with a 'good morning' you know"

"Good Morning...now pull yourself together, we have alot to cover before the day ends"

Daybreak sighed, he didn't remember the lord of chaos being this serious about anything, ever. Clearly having an offspring can change somepony's...or maybe he was just screwing with him, it was Discord after all. Discord stared at his son, still very clearly sleepy

"Now! Let's see what you've learned from yesterday, do the first thing that comes to mind...and...GO!"

On que Daybreak blasted a bolt of magic straight at his father, catching him full in the mouth. Instantly a zipper appeared over Discord mouth and zipped itself shut, then a small padlock appeared and clicked itself shut.

Discord glared at his son and Daybreak merely shrugged with a grin

"What? You said the first thing that came to mind"

Discord snapped his fingers, and a small key appeared, unlocking the padlock, then Discord unzipped his lips and turned them back to normal

"How very shrewd...at least there's no doubt you're my son, alright i suppose that's random enough, I was expecting to be doused in water, so I guess that's good. Now we move on to some actual spells, for example, transformation."

Daybreak beamed with glee, Discord chuckled

"Yes, yes, it's time for the part you want most, now this is a bit more difficult than just random bouts of chaos like we did last night"

He pointed the a corner of the clearing that looked like a small tornado had gone through it. Daybreak had been practicing creating random bouts of chaos on a small part of the clearing and had been moderatly succesful. Discord was at least pleased that Daybreak could now draw upon natural chaotic magic at will. Now just needed to learn to manipulate it instead of just firing it wildly as he had been allowed yesterday. Discord cleared his throat to continue

"This type of magical spell requires a bit more effort than before, for now instead of just directing the chaotic magic at any random object and watching what happens, you now have to focus it soley upon yourself and control the change...unless you don't mind turning into any random number of objects, I find it quite enjoyable at times, but i think i know the shape you prefer"

Daybreak nodded, happy he could finally become a unicorn again if he wanted.

"Ok now the first step should be relatively easy for you, since you've done it once before. Just close your eyes and try to draw in all the magic you can around you, like the time you tried to blow yourself up, but just hold it there."

Daybreak nodded and shut his eyes. He ignited his aura and focused on pulling in the energy around him. He felt like he was trying to suck from a vacuum. Clearly there was resistance as he tried to pull the energy in the surrounding area into his body. Although he could feel endless power flowing around him, it seemed as he tried to pull it in it pulled against him instead. He definitely remembered this feeling from the last time, he could feel his muscles begining to ache as he strained to continually pull the energy inside him while also trying to contain it. Eventually he had to relax and he let out a huge breath of held in air. Suddenly he felt huge amounts of power flood inside him and was lit up and surrounded in his own aura. Discord smiled at him

"Very good, if you're wondering what just happened, you experienced what most unicorns do when they try magic out of their league. Resistance. However instead of cutting off the flow of magic like most do when they finally can't hold it anymore, you subconciously, only relaxed your body, not your magic. I bet you can feel how easily it's flowing through you now, right?"

Daybreak nodded, he felt absolutely filled with power

"All I had to do was relax my body?"

"More or less, remember what I said yesterday, about fighting the current, instead of letting it come to you? All that strain trying to force the power in, naturally the power will then resist. But if you just relax, give it a gentle push, It will come all by itself."

Daybreak grinned

"Ok, what's next?"

Discord had began to pace in a slow circle around his son, while continuing to speak to him. For an odd reason it was soothing to Daybreak

"The next step is to take all that power you feel surrounding you and flowing through you, and manipulate it. First you need to focus it on only the physical parts of your body, as in only your appearance. Then picture what you wish to become, you'll have to be detailed in your mental picture, or it could backfire on you, then who knows what you'll turn into. Finally you will release the pent up power, but don't release all the way or you will lose the spell, just release it outside of your body, then move it around you in a fast spiral motion. After that the magic will do the rest and you just need to go with the flow. Understand?"

Daybreak nodded and Discord laughed

"I hope you do, otherwise this will be very entertaining"

Daybreak gulped and closed his eyes. He felt the awesome power flowing through and around him. It felt like a high to him and definitely could become addictive, like the Alicorn Amulet. Daybreak shook his head and focused on his power, he pictured himself as a unicorn in his head. His green and white tail and mane, his brownish fur, green eyes, his sharply tipped horn, and a certain other body part of his that was also relatively large as well. He pictured himself at his current age, with those features and focused hard on the image in his mind and let it fill up his thoughts. As he focused, he felt like the image was starting to fill him up for real. Suddenly his mind was flooded with his image over and over and he could think of nothing else but him as a unicorn! Daybreak felt a sudden release of breath from his body and with a quick, but blinding flash of light, the spell was finished!

Discord stared at Dayrbeak with a smile on his face. There, right before his eyes, was Daybreak the unicorn. As Daybreak looked around he could tell he was considerably shorter than he had been before, for he now had to look up much more to see his fathers face. He ignited his horn and materialized a mirror in front of him. He just about jumped with glee, he was a unicorn again!

His features were perfectly spot on, he was so surprised, he had been expecting to goof up the first try. He looked up to his father with a big goofy grin. Discord returned the smile, feeling an odd amount of warmth and happiness at his sons joy.

"Well done my boy, well done. Once again you have surprised me, the speed at which you transformed and the accuracy"

"What do you mean, how long did that whole thing take?"

"Oh about maybe...two seconds"

"Oh! It felt like it took forever to me"

"It normally does feel that way when your entire body is changing at once"

Daybreak could help but starting chasing his own tail, trying to get a clear view of his whole body. Discord let him wear himself out with giddiness until he was satisfied he had been 100% accurate in his change. Once Daybreak sat down in the grass on his haunches, Discord got up

"Ok, now change back"

Daybreak's eyes shot wide

"What?! Why would I do that?"

"Look I know how much this means to you, but you have to show me that you can transform back and forth so you don't get trapped in one form again, after we are done with our training, you can choose whichever form you wish to live your life in"

Daybreak sighed and nodded. He didn't wanna change back, but knew Discord was right. He stood up on his hooves and focused his magic around him again. With his horn ignited he began to flow the chaos magic around his body like before, forming a small layer of browish aura around his body. Once that was complete he felt the wave of limitless power hit him again. From that point it was just a simple strain with his horn, another quick flash of light, and Daybreak was once again in his previous form.

He studied his body once again to make sure his features were correct. Same brownish coat, same green eyes, same Cutie Mark, same green tail with a white stripe, same green mane with a white stripe. Same retractable claws, same feet, same fur, yep he was good. He looked to his father, who was now at his height again and waited for a response. Discord stared, unable to find anything wrong with his sons transformation, he conceded to proceed to the final stage of their training.

"Alright my boy, once we complete this final step in our training, you shall officially be the Prince of Chaos. Now Don't get me wrong, it will still take a couple of years in training before you can ever hope to beat me, but you will without a doubt, be stronger than any unicorn in existence today. However don't let that go to your head like I used to! I was still defeated by Celestia and Luna, and was outsmarted by Twilight Sparkle. Raw power isn't enough to win every fight, remember that just in case you think of ever challenging the Princesses or Twilight Sparkle to a magic duel for the fun of it."

Daybreak nodded

"You seem to have changed alot recently, you even seem much more humble than before"

Discords eye twitched slightly at that comment

"As much as it displease me to have to admit it, lately I've been defeated time and time again. Whether it's by the Elements of Harmony, being reformed by Fluttershy, or my offspring sealing me again. I've been beaten too many times to consider myself unstopable anymore. At least having an offspring gives my hope that I can raise one better than me to one day rule in my place should I ever fall again."

Daybreak grinned

"Hopefully you haven't become so humble that you've lost your sense of sick humor"

"Never!"

"Good"

Discord smiled at his son

"Ok time for the final lesson, take your place in front of me and let's begin"

Daybreak nodded, ready to finally finish his fathers training!

.....

Five Hours Later.

The day was nearing its end when Discord and Daybreak were finally nearing the end of their training. As both father and son stood in front of each other panting, they once again threw their arms forward and fired a magical stream at each other! Once again the beams connected in the center and battled for dominance. However this time, the battle was short lived, after mere moments of connecting, both streams vanished and melted to the ground. Both Discord and Daybreak fell forward in exhaustion and faceplanted into the grass. Discord grunted to his son from the grass

"You see, this is a sign that we've over used the magic in this area and can't direct it anymore due to our own exhaustion. Seeing that you clearly never faded through out our sessions today, I'de say you're finally ready to ascend."

Discord rolled over and slammed his palms together, when he did so, all the random bouts of chaost spread through the clearing vanished, and Daybreak felt his energy restored to him quickly. As they both made their way to their feet, they felt a huge surge of immense magical power coming from Ponyville, and the power of the Elements being used together. Daybreak looked to Discord, but he merely smiled

"Right on schedule, quickly son, come here"

Daybreak did as he was instructed and approached his father. Seconds after Daybreak was in front of him Discord put his paw on his shoulder, and once again, they vanished in a flash of blinding light, leaving a crater shaped like Daybreaks Cutie Mark where they had just been!

.....

Daybreak reappeared in a flash of light, however as he looked around, he saw that he was alone, Discord was not with him. Daybreak took in his surroundings, or rather, lack of surroundings. He seemed to be floating in a multicolored abyss that stretched on forever. Then, with another flash of light, Princess Celestia stood before him! Daybreak immediatly went to bow but Celestia stopped him with a brush of her long wing and smiled at him

"Congratulations Daybreak...You did it!"

Daybreak stared at the Princess confused

"What do you mean Princess, what did I do"

Celestia smiled at him again

"Patience Daybreak, all will be revealed as soon as Twilight arrives, walk with me"

Daybreak was stunned to hear Twilight would be arriving in such a strange place, but followed the Princess without question. As they traveled forward in the never-ending abyss together, the Princess only asked him one question

"I can sense the change in you now Daybreak...So tell me, how was training with your Father?"

Daybreak smiled

"It was definitely enlightening...Mother"

"Ahh.."

The Princess merely smiled, clearly she had been informed at this point as well, and was clearly pleased to hear him call her that. Though the rest of the walk passed with silence between them, Daybreak couldn't help but feel just that simple exchange had somehow brought him closer to the Princess.

After a short time the Princess slowed her walk. Daybreak looked ahead of them and saw they were coming out of a type of haze, and through the haze he could see...Twilight! The Princess spoke before him, though, as they exited the haze

"Twilight Sparkle, my most faithful student...I'm so proud of you"

Twilight turned and saw them both

"Princess...Daybreak!"

She ran up and hugged both of them

"Daybreak, how are you here?"

Princess Celestia smiled and said

"For the same reason you are, he succeeded as well"

Twilight was confused

"I don't understand...what did I do"

"You did something today, that's never been done before, sometthing that even a great unicorn like Starswirl the Bearded was not able to accomplish, because he did not understand friendship as you do"

She put her hoof on Twilight's shoulder

"The lessons you have learned here in Ponyville, have taught you well, you have proven that you...both of you, are ready"

She motioned to Daybreak as well, then motioned for them to follow, Twilight and Daybreak quickly went after her

"Ready...Ready for what"

As they followed the Princess, they both saw memories of their lives flash by them, every singly moment of their lives flew by as they walked down this strange abyss with their Princess.

Celestia smiled (Que Epic Celestia Song)

"You've coooome, such a long long way...and I've watched yooou from that very first day...to see how might grow, to see what you might do...to see what you've been through, and all the ways you've made me proud of yooooou...It's time noooow for a new change to cooome, you've grown up, and your new lives have begun...To go where you will go...To see what you will see...To find what you be, for it's time for you, to fulfil your destinyyyyyyy!"

Celestia spread her wings wide as she ignited her horn enveloping Twilight in her own aura, Discord then appeared out of thin air next to her and snapped his fingers towards Daybreak as well. Both him and Twilight were suddenly surrounded in a blaze of magic as the entire abyss faded away in a huge explosion!

.....

The skies above Ponyville were suddenly ignited in a blaze of magic as Twilight and Daybreaks Cutie marks burned across the sky drawing the attention of Twilight's friends. Within moments of their appearence, their marks decended toward the ground and from within them, both Twilight and Daybreak emerged!

Applejack was the first one to comment ontheir appearence

"Twilight...Daybreak..Is that you?"

Shaking off the remaining bits of magic Daybreak looked over to Twilight and gasped! As she stood up from the ground she spread a brand new pair of pegasi wings!

Daybreak instantly checked his back just to be sure, and was releaved to see his back had remained normal. This gave him a chance to once again stare in amazement at his loves new wings.

"Twilight"

Dayberak could barely sputter out the words as she sat poking her wings. Twilight looked up and dashed to him, immedietly embracing him in a hug.

"Daybreak!"

Their friends quickly gathered around them and began commenting on her new wings. Fluttershy was the first one to say what they were all thinking

"You look just like a Princess"

"That's because she is a Princess"

They all looked over to see Princess Celestia and Discord walking towards them. Discord quickly commented to the ponies

"And Daybreak is also now a Prince. He has just officially become the new Prince of Chaos"

Their friends all gasped...and PInkie Pie did a spit take, while Twilight and Daybreak just stuttered at hearing about each other

"A Princess?"

"A Prince?"

Celestia set her hoof on Twilight's shoulder

"Since coming to Ponyville, you've displayed the Charity, Compassion, Devotion, Integrity, Optimism and of course, the Leadership, of a true Princess."

Then she turned to Daybreak

"Since I first met you Daybreak, you've displayed these same traits Twilight has shown, but in a much different way. You've shown that you're willing to do anything to protect what you care for and believe in even at the cost of your own life. You both are an inspiration to us all"

Celestia then did something that made both Daybreak and Twilight want to cry. She bowed to them, and then their friends followed. However Daybreak was not content, he had one more thing he knew he had to do before he could accept himself as a true Prince.

"Hold on one minute everypony"

Celestia and the others raised there heads

"Yes Daybreak, do you have something to say?"

Daybreak nodded his head slowly

"I can't accept this title yet...there is one more thing I have to do first"

He turned to Twilight, and held out his palm. Focusing his power he made a golden ring with her Cutie Mark in the center appear out of pure magic and kneeled to Twilight. Everypony gasped, even the Princess and Discord. PInkie PIe even started to cry before he said anything. Twilight looked frozen with fear

"Princess Twilight Sparkle..."

Daybreak could see the fear in her eyes of what his next words would be

"...Will you marry me?"

Twilight's eyes grew almsot too big for her sockets, she began to stutter and fell back on her haunches, unable to form a clear sentence. Daybreak lifted his head slightly to see her reaction and was a little shocked at her frozen state. Finally Rainbow Dash burst forward from her friends and yelled

"SAY YES YOU IDIOT!"

That brought Twilight back to her senses, she slowly stood back up and approached Daybreak, who was still kneeling. She took up the ring in her magic and lightly mummbled

"Yes..."

Rainbow was not satisfied and yelled

"What was that?!"

Twilight's eyebrow twitched and she practically yelled into Daybreaks face.

"I SAID YES! OF COURSE I'LL MARRY YOU DAYBREAK!"

Daybreak smiled, despite his mildly ringing ears and snapped his fingers. Instantly he transformed back into his unicorn self, which cause everypony EXCEPT Discord and Celestia to gasp! All of their friends ran forward and embraced the two in a crushing hug. Daybreak looked around and grabbed Rianbow Dash, pulling her into the center of the hug with them

"Get in here Dashie, you're included in this one. Would you like to be in an official herd with me and Twilight?"

That was practically the same thing as "Will you marry me" exceptit was for all three of them. Rainbow Dash answered without hesitation

"Absolutely I would!"

The group of freinds continued to hug until eventually the Princess and Discord escorted them to the train station, saying they were needed in Canterlot immidietly for their coronation. Discord also assured Twilight and Daybreak that he could have their wedding put together at the same time as their coronation and then teleported away with Celestia. The six friends gathered in the train car and instantly began discussing the days events. However Daybreak and Twilight were content to just lay on the seat and cuddle the whole way to Canterlot

.....

The Next Day

The entire Canterlot throne room was packed with ponies including Twilight's mother and father as Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence and Discord stood at the top of the thrones stairs. Celestia's voice boomed over the takling ponies and they became instantly silent

"We are gathered here today in celebration of two momentous occasions. My most faithful students Twilight Sparkle and Daybreak have done many extraordinary things since they have been with us, they even helped to reunite me with my sister, Princess Luna, and former friend, Discord. But today, both Twilight and Daybreak did something that has never been done before. My dear Twilight created new magic, and Daybreak has mastered chaos magic, proving without a doubt that they are ready to become, Equestria's newest Prince and Princess! Then if that was not enough, in the very same night, Daybreak asked Twilight to marry him...and she said yes!"

There were multiple stunned gasps through out the crowd, including from Twilights parents, clearly the second bit of news was new news to them. Celestia continued

"Fillys and Gentlecolts, may I present, for the very first time, Princess Twilight Sparkle and Prince Daybreak!"

The room erupted into applause as the back throne room doors opened and Twilight walked in with Daybreak, both were dressed in royal attire. As they walked down the singing aile, Celestia and Discord led them out onto the balcony where all of Canterlot could see the next stage of what would happen.

Celestia walked in between Daybreak and Twilight, and allowed her magically enhanced voice to boom over Canterlot

"Do you, Princess Twilight Sparkle, take Prince Daybreak to be your husband, and promise to stand by him through all the hardships you may endure together"

Twilight looked directly into Daybreak's eyes and said loudly

"I DO!"

Celestia then placed Twilight's Element on her head as her crown, and Daybreaks ring on her horn, then turned to Daybreak

"And do you Prince Daybreak, take Princess Twilight Sparkle to be your wife, and promise to be always faithful to her and always be by her side when she needs you most"

Daybreak mirrored Twilight and stared into her eyes

"I DO!"

Discord then walked forward and placed an odd necklace around his neck that had his Cutie Mark blazing on the front, causing it to resemble one of the Elements of Harmony, then placed a ring Twilight had made for Daybreak in secret, after his proposal, onto his horn.

Celestia then continued her speech

"Then I now pronounce these two bonded for life as soul mates and Equestria's newest Prince and Princess!"

All of Canterlot erutped into applause as Twilight and Daybreak leaned forward and kissed pasionately! The couple then steped forward and looked out over Canterlot. Twilight and Daybreak both gave a small speech that caused more applause and then headed back inside. Shining Armor and Cadence ran up to greet them, Shining Armor embraced both of them

"Twilight I'm so proud of you, and Daybreak...I knew you could do it"

He winked at Shining Armor, catching his reference

Twilight saw a tear fall from Shining Armors face

"Are you crying?"

"Of course not, it's liquid pride...totally different.."

Twilight and Daybreak just giggled while her friends came up and embraced them in a hug. Twilight was so happy right now, she thought she might bursts

"I love you all so much"

Daybreak smiled as they all echoed her words. He led them all outside and into the crowd of ponies. As he walked through the endless crowd of ponies with his friends and now family, Daybreak could feel it right in his gut, from now on...life in Equestria for him and Twilight would shimmer and shine, and be just fine!
