Love has everything to do with it
Chapter 41
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"Well now, I could have sworn I had thought of every possible disturbance for the wedding. But this............ completely blew me out of the water." Midnight laughed for a moment as Discord began dancing in hysterics while yanking on his ears in a panic.
"You're telling me!?" Shouted Samantha before Discord pulled her up and into his arms, cradling her like a baby.
"Lovely wedding, wish I could stay to cause a little Chaos, but we have a special event of our own that cannot be put off." Discord laughed nervously as he snapped his talons once, disappearing in a flash of light from the room. The floor having the wet spot removed and cleaned from view as well.
"Should we?" Celestia began for a moment in worry before seeing Midnight shake his head.
"No, this day is ours. Besides, I'm sure Discord can handle the situation on his own." Midnight smirked nervously thinking back to the moment when Starlight had been born. "Anyway!" He grinned as he levitated a microphone up to in front of him just as some music began to play. "I have my last performance to play that I promised everypony." He snickered seeing his Brides and Luna roll their eyes just before he began to sing. The lights flashed several colors all around the room before the music kicked up into full force as Midnight began to sing through the lyrics of the song. All the time Rainbow Dash gawking at the lyrics being sung before dancing herself.
Yeah I own this beat
You can call me the king or the ruler
felon on bass getting hoarse at the mic
We're getting 20 percent cooler
We had a great day out
calling my name like Ferris Bueller
It's time to wrap this up
We're getting 20 percent cooler
We're getting 20 percent cooler
We're getting 20 percent cooler
We're getting 20 percent cooler
(Looks to Rainbow Dash)
Seven colors in your hair
Get your boots on dear
'cause we're going out there
Don't care 'bout the dress code
Put it on, let's go
Girls go wild
'cause we're going “Al Fresco”
HA!
Don't need to perform
Hands on our bodies
Gonna keep our skills warm
We need social reform
'cause we're just so criminal
Linguist subliminal
Damages minimal
Top percentile
Largest fraction
Massive attraction
Girl-on-girl action (Gives a wink to Rarity and Twilight)
Stop that!
I'm gonna need a redaction
Drop that!
You already got your reaction
Me?
I'm gonna keep on smiling
You?
You’re gonna need restyling
I got the quote back
From the jeweler
You're getting 20 percent cooler
You can call me the king or the ruler
Felon on bass getting hoarse at the mic
We're getting 20 percent cooler
We had a great day out
Calling my name like Ferris Bueller
It's time to wrap this up
We're getting 20 percent cooler
We're getting 20 percent cooler
(Lights dim down allowing Midnights mane and tail to illuminate the stage softly)
Reduce the treble
There's an 8 or 9
Who think they're on my level
Like a rebel in a bunker
Getting shelled with a mortar
Bump up and down
'cause I think you oughta
(His mane and tail begin to illuminate brighter)
Place your hand on my thigh
Don't be coy, I can hear you sigh
Grinding your hips
I'll be flashing my pink
And in ten seconds flat
you'll be back with a drink
Woooo! (Mane and tail explode into a firestorm all around him)
Bring out the Bacardi
Twilight Sparkle up in the party (Rubs up against her side)
Tap that, like a phone in the cold war
Room on the third floor
Knocking on my front door
Me? I'm kind of a Rarity (Rubs up against Rarity’s side)
You? Work that dexterity (Nudges Applejack)
Lean back now, here's what I meant ( Sweeps Celestia backwards into his arms)
Getting cooler by 20 percent (Kisses her before pulling her back up and continuing)
You can call me the king or the ruler
Felon on bass getting hoarse at the mic
We're getting 20 percent cooler
We had a great day out
Calling my name like Ferris Bueller
It's time to wrap this up
We're getting 20 percent cooler
We're getting 20 percent cooler
We're getting 20 percent cooler
You can call me the king or the ruler

The song fades out before Midnight nods to Vinyl to start the next song. She gives a grin as the next disc is put into the cd player, the music starting flawlessly once the previous one had come to an end.
The power of love is a curious thing
make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
more than a feeling that's the power of love
Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream (Nods to Luna)
make a bad one good make a wrong one right
power of love that keeps you home at night
You don't need money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes
but it might just save your life
That's the power of love
That's the power of love
First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Next time you feel it, it might make you mad
But you'll be glad baby when you've found
that's the power makes the world go'round
And it don't take money, don't take fame
don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden it can be cruel sometimes
but it might just save your life
They say that all in love is fair
yeah, but you don't care
But you know what to do
when it gets hold of you
and with a little help from above (Nods to Bob)
you feel the power of love
you feel the power of love
Can you feel it ?
Hmmm
It don't take money and it don't take fame
don't need no credit card to ride this train
Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel
you won't feel nothin' till you feel
you feel the power, just the power of love
That's the power, that's the power of love
You feel the power of love
you feel the power of love
feel the power of love
The song comes to an end as Midnight lets Vinyl begin playing some of her music. The crowd below all enjoying some of the more recent craze in music that has become popular amongst more of the younger generation.
As time progressed through the event, it finally came time for the brides and groom to cut the cake. It had only been about an hour after the music began, but hey, this was a special day and everyone was about to witness the final procession of the wedding coming to a head.
The Dark Alicorn and his four brides proceeded behind the table with a massive cake with several tiers of the confectionary goodness towering over them. The brides going to one side while Midnight went to the other as several small cake knives were levitated toward it. Several pieces of the massive cake were delicately sliced and placed onto plates as each of them came to the front of the table to proceed through the final step of tying the knot.
As they smiled, a small flash went off to capture the special moment on camera. Then, all hell broke loose as Midnight smooched a small piece of cake into the faces of his brides. A moment of silence followed as they blinked the cake away before laughing loudly and tackled him to the floor as they began covering him in cake as well.
“FOODFIGHT!” Yelled a certain pink pony as she shoved a piece of cake into Braeburn’s face.
Before Midnight and his brides could stop anypony, the rest of hell broke loose as food began to fly all around the room. Many of the more upper class diving out of the room while many of the others joined in. It wasn’t long before the entire room was covered from floor to roof in cakes and various other foods.
“I can’t believe Discord is missing this!” Midnight shouted before an orange bounced off the side of his head.
“HEADSHOT!” Shouted Pinkie with a loud giggle before squeaking as she avoided a muffin that was tossed at her. A certain grey pegasus looking on in horror as that very muffin landed into a bowl of punch.

“I’m going to KILL YOU!” Shouted Samantha toward Discord as she lay in the medical wing of the castle. Her legs up in stirrups as a pony doctor was down below giving her instructions on breathing.
“Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! I’ve never been this worried........ well........... EVER!” Discord spoke out as he began yanking his ears down below his chin and tying them into a bow before bending his horns in various directions.
“Calm yourself sir, or I’m going to have to ask you to leave the room. We need to have as calm of an environment as possi.......” He was cut off by an ear splitting scream, his attention brought back to the matter at hoof as he looked back to the area in question and smiling as he could see a small head beginning to emerge.
*THUD*
Samantha as well as the doctors looked over to see Discord on the floor, completely out cold. An orderly quickly grabbing the draconequus up and placing him to a bed near the side of Samantha before checking his vitals.
“I can’t believe that idiot fainted!” Samantha groaned before crying out again as another contraction hit her hard.
“Keep going, just one more push and this’ll be all over!” The doctor stated with a determined smile across his face.
Samantha gave an icy glare before it became the most determined face the doctor has ever seen. She took a couple of quick breaths before a nice long one filled her lungs. The push was massive as she cried out. Then, the sweet sound of life breaking forth from a small cry.
Discord shot up in bed before teleporting to the doctor’s side just as he was about to clip the cord. He looked up to the draconequus with a smile as he floated the small pair of scissors to him.
“You should do the honors sir.” He smiled as Discord’s eyes watered before taking them and snipping the cord. Severing the baby’s lifeline to its mother. The baby was quickly cleaned up and placed within a blanket, before being hoofed to his mother.
Samantha smiled as tears of joy began to leave her eyes. The small being was so tiny, and looked much like Discord. The only difference being the type of species that the baby was consisting of. As the two new parents pulled open the blanket to get a better look, a small lobster arm shot out from the baby and clamped onto Discord’s nose.
“NNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!” Was all Discord could muster as pain rocked his world. “He’s.................... got a good grip at least!” He squeaked out just before being let go and falling backwards onto the floor holding his nose.
Samantha pulled the blanket back around the baby as she got a better look at him. Her new baby son seemed to be several species much like his father. What she could make out was that his right arm was a lobster claw, his left arm was white with some black claws at the tip. Seemingly thick for being a newborn, but it looked more like a bears arm. His legs were a lions left leg and an eagles right leg. His body from the base of his neck to the base of his tail was like a green reptiles torso, possibly a dragon? His head seemed more like a dragons though, but was a soft purple, along with a few small nubs that looked to be little stubby spikes protruding from the middle of his head backwards down his spine. Finally, his tail seemed to throw everything off as it was a slight tan, like his lion leg, but had two small nubby spikes on the tip of it to just one side.
The little fellow looked up to his human mother and gave a smile that only a baby could give. Then Samantha did something she thought she would never do. She looked to Discord as she spoke one phrase.
“I think we’ll go with the name you chose.” She smiled as tears still fell from her eyes. Discord’s eyes bursting forth with their own flood of tears as he gently took the baby into his arms.
“Very well then. Welcome to the world.......... Disarray..........”
