"You know Discord, after seeing you with Samantha, and she almost being ready to bare your child. I would think that your interests in others would have fallen to be non-existent. Looks like I was wrong." Midnight stated as he circled Discord and Twilight.

"Night, i-it isn't what it looks like!" Twilight shouted as she shoved the draconequus from her and looked worriedly toward her fiance.

"So Discord holding you in his arms wasn't what I just saw?" He asked with a cocked brow only to make her facehoof. He then trading a wink with Discord as he let him in on the joke.

"UGH! Midnight, you know that's......." She was interrupted by Discord as he spoke up.

"Exactly what it looked like!" He spoke out loudly causing Twilight to gawk. The draconequus turning to her as he swept her up in his arms. "Twilight, I have waited so long to let you know this, but I love you!" He stated with an eyebrow wiggle causing her to erupt in a bright blush.

"DISCORD! This is HARDLY the appropriate time, place, or situation to confess your feelings to me." Twilight choked out in surprise before a wing swept her away from Discord and to Midnights side.

"Sorry to say my friend. But I will not let my love go willingly." Midnight spoke out in a threatening tone as he lowered his posture and flared his wings out.

"You dare to challenge the God of Chaos and attempt to take away his love?" Discord spoke out as his eyes began to glow. Midnight stopping quickly as his eyes went wide.

"So what are you going to do if I decide to take Twilight for myself?" He spoke out threateningly toward the Alicorn who was now waving his hoof back and forth across his throat before giving an innocent smile and nervous chuckle.

"WHAT?!" Came and shrieking yell from behind the draconequus causing him to literally freeze up before slowly turning around.

"Oh shit." Twilight stated as her horn lit up causing Midnight and herself to teleport from the library.

Discord on the other hand turned around to see Samantha with what seemed like her very being set ablaze with a blistering blue fire. She slowly began to walk toward the draconequus who quickly change into a puppy and began to give the most pleading eyes he could ever give.

"I forgot to tell you this honey, but I hate dogs." She stated with venom in her voice as she leaned over toward him.

"Yipe.............." He squeaked out before her hands were upon him.

In a flash of light, Twilight and Midnight appeared just outside of Rarity's boutique in time to hear a blood curdling scream echo through the small town of Ponyville. They looked down the street to the library tree house to see a certain draconequus flying as fast as he could from the tree house of books. Behind him was a certain human who was flying after him in a cloud of blue flames that encased her very being.

The two burst past Midnight and Twilight as they stood there in shock. That was of course until a certain ivory pony spoke up and broke them from their train of thought.

"My word! Was that Samantha chasing disco-hor-hor-ord." She spoke in a somewhat laughing tone as she covered her mouth with a hoof.

"Yea, I think our little joke on Twilight got out of hoof." Midnight chuckled but paused as he felt an icy stare penetrating his very being.

"Joke huh?" Twilight hissed.

"Oh come on! Give me a break! I walked in with you in Discords arms! You deserve at least some form of retaliation." He grumped as he took a seat and cross his forehooves giving a very disgruntled expression.

"Fine, we'll call it even then." Twilight spoke out as she trotted past the dark Alicorn into Rarity's shop.

"Wait................. you mean I won a conversation against you?" He spoke in shock as he watched her stop in the door way.

"Don't get used to it. We have more important things to discuss at the moment, mainly the wedding that is going to happen in exactly 3 months. So get your flank in here because this is the only scheduled time I have available to discuss this until the wedding." Twilight snorted in annoyance causing him to quickly follow her and Rarity into the boutique.

Upon entering the boutique however, he was pleased to see his other two brides sitting at a table, giggling quietly as they looked through a large book. Their vision trained on him as he came into view.

"Well then, it seems that you're in a better mood Tia." Midnight chuckled as he came over and took a seat across the table from AJ and Celestia.

"You have Applejack to thank for that my dear." The sun princess tittered, giving a wink to the apple farmer at her side.

"Really now? Wel please, do tell! What did you share with her to drag her from being so grumpy and into the state of laughter?" Midnight smirked, giving pause to allow her to respond.

"Oh nothin special. Ah was just tellin'er bout the time Granny Smith done walked in on ya when ya was in the shower." She grinned causing Midnight to visibly turn a pale shade of grey. "Ya had soap in her eyes an thought it was me. Opened the shower curtain and asked if she wanted teh join ya."

*SNERK* Upon hearing this, Rarity and Twilight covered their mouths with both forehooves to keep from laughing as AJ continued her tale.

"What happened?" Asked Twilight as she began to giggle.

"Granny up'n'jumped in the shower with'im. Took the better part'o five minutes afore'e managed to get the soap out proper and saw a drenched Granny Smith in the shower with'im." AJ chuckled seeing his expression of horror.

"Oh my, whatever happened?" Rarity asked as her face beamed at the juicy story begin told.

"Granny said he got outta the shower without drying off, then vanished inteh thin air. Not even a minute after that she hear somepony screaming off in the distance. Ah don't think she connected the two incidents though." Applejack finished causing everypony but Midnight to erupt into laughter.

All comotion stopped though as a scroll popped into existence in front of Applejack. Celestia picking it up and unrolling it as she quickly read over it giving a loud giggle before passing it to Applejack.

That was the highlight of the past few years of my life as well. Didn't know yer stallion had such roaming hooves.

Granny Smith

Applejack looked at the scroll in shock for a moment as she had conflicting emotions. First she laughed for a few seconds before tears filled her eyes.

"W-where did that scroll come from? Whoever did that............ t'aint funny." The farmer spoke in broken words as tears began to fill her eyes, threatening to break the gates.

"AJ, that probably was from your Granny. The afterlife does have the ability to contact the living with the help of a God." Celestia stated giving her a warm smile.

"But.......... if'n thats true.............. then why ain't mah ma an pa ever sent a scroll?" She asked in slight anger just before another scroll popped into existence in front of her. She pulling it quickly to her and unrolling it to read its contents.

We never had the chance to contact you until your stallion had asked you to marry him. We have been biding our time and choosing what we could say since each scroll only has a limited amount of space to transferred into your reality. We love you Applejack, and your brother and sister as well. Please let them know.

Love, Ma and Pa

Upon finishing reading the scroll out loud the dam burst as she began to cry out rather loudly. Midnight as well as the others moving to her side to try and comfort her as best as they could.

"AJ, it's alright. You'll get to see them soon enough." Midnight stated in a comforting tone only to cause everypony, except Celestia, to stare at him oddly.

"What ya'll mean ah'll get teh see'em shortly, ah ain't dieing!" She snort through her tears.

"Uh........ What I meant to say............." He trailed off before Celestia Spoke up.

"What our stallion was attempting to say was that he, Luna, and I have the ability to move between realities. We can move into the afterlife plane, along with a partner, for a very short time so that we may speak with and be around those that have passed, as well as the Gods of various planes of existence." She stated with a smile causing AJ to blink before beaming.

"Well?!" She smiled as she just stood there.

"Uh............ well what?" Midnight asked as he looked around to the others then back to AJ.

"Don't just stand there ya fool. Take me teh see mah folks!" She beamed.

"That would be a problem currently AJ." He said while giving a sheepish grin only to cause her mood to quickly sour.

"An why is that?!" She huffed.

"It will be a few days before I can cast the spell again. I used it earlier and won't be able to use it again for maybe four to seven days. But you are the third on my list to go with me next time." He chuckled nervously seeing her face contort to that of anger.

"THIRD?! Why ain't ah first?!" She yelled causing him to flinch a little.

"Well, my parents asked me to bring my son and daughter the next two times I visit. So that puts you as third on the list." As he finished he noticed that AJ's expression had softened, giving a smile instead of the scowl she had just had.

"Well, ah guess ah can't keep ya from doing that. It is yer folks after all. Shoot......... Ah guess a couple weeks ain't nothing big teh wait on. But ya'll better be prepared teh bring mah brother an sis as well." She smirked only to see him frown slightly.

"I can only bring one with me at a time hun. So they will have to wait as well."

AJ sat there with a hoof on her chin in thought for a moment before pulling it away and giving an approving nod. "Ah guess it cain't be helped. Still though, ah know ah'm gonna be busier than a bee's nest warding off a bear after mah honey fer the next couple'o weeks waiting on ya teh do this fer me. It's been so long since ah seen mah folks, ah don't right know what ah'll say to'em when ah see'em."

"Well, the next time I go I'll be sure to let them know when to expect you." He chuckled but paused as another scroll came into existence in front of him.

We already know, it should be within three weeks and we have nothing to do but chat up here truthfully. So we'll stick to just outside the Hall of the Gods and wait. Also, Garret said he wants a rematch. So expect him when you arrive.

The Apples

"Tell Garret if he wants a solid match with me he will be nice enough to wait until I have done what I need to do first before he takes it upon himself to be a dick." Midnight shouted out toward the ceiling causing Celestia to gawk and turn a little paler than her normal color. She began to speak but pause as yet another scroll popped into existence in front of him, he quickly grabbing it up to read it.

Never have I been spoken down to in such a manner. I am stunned that anyone, even a prior mortal would say or do such a thing when they know what I am capable of. Never the less, your challenge has been noted and accepted. You have a single month in your current planets time to meet me in the octagon once again. This time it will be God against God. No holds bar.

Garret

"Your on!" He shouted with a smirk, his eyes falling from the ceiling and back onto the others as they stared at Celestia who was shaking slightly. "Tia?"

"I fear you may have stepped into something you may highly regret my dear. Garret, while fighting, is ruthless. He has been compared to Ares, the Greek God of War in his tactics and ability to overpower any and all beings when it comes to battle. Only Ares himself has beaten Garret." She spoke in fear.

"Add me to the list hun, when I was there earlier, we fought, and I won." Midnight chuckled before another scroll appeared before them, Celestia pulling it to her as she began to read it.

We fought as humans and he got lucky, it won't happen again.

Garret


"Well then, I feel a little better about the situation." Celestia stated causing Midnight to smile. "But that only makes me more worried about you my dear." She stated flatly as she stared toward the dark Alicorn.
