In a flash of light, Midnight had teleported from the throne room to high above New Canterlot. Although it had been five years since the castle had been built, it was still his first true time to see the new structure. He would glance around and compare many of the areas to the old ones that he had seen before. The streets were a little wider and some of the buildings taller. The castle itself had shrunk slightly in width and gained in height. The streets even had drains to mediate the rain that would fall and normally just go down a small waterway that would set between the sidewalk and the street. Now though, the sidewalks had all but been removed and replaced with a smother type of street. The streets themselves were now a hardened cobblestone that would be flush to each and every stone that went along the length of the road. Only turning into larger slabs that would play as the sidewalk.

"Tia must have read some of those books I gave Twilight in the past. The even have rain gutters on the buildings now." He chuckled as he continued to fly over the city. After taking in the sights though, he though it was high time to find Discord and see exactly what was going on with him and Samantha. He gave a smirk as he began to speak out while flying.

"Discord, I know you're listening to me. Get your tail out here." Midnight spoke out and giving a chuckle as the draconequus appeared in a small flash next to the dark Alicorn, flying at his side.

"Oh you are such a bore sometimes, never really putting any effort in trying to find me." Discord yawned. "So what did you want?"

"Tia mentioned that you and Samantha are seeing each other." He grinned seeing Discord's eyes go a little wide. "Care to elaborate on that little event and how you ended up getting together with a human female?"

Discord sputtered for a moment before giving a sheepish grin. "Well, it was a rather odd change of event's I must admit. But I remember it like it was yesterday. It was a few days after you had been turned to stone........."

Work had begun to pick up the rubble of the fallen Canterlot city. Not much was left standing on the side of the mountain on which it had resided for the past several thousand years. But now, it was in shambles. The battle had taken its toll on the city and castle, literally bringing most of it to the base of the mountain and causing the rest to become to unstable to live in. With the help of Discord though, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, as well as the Elements of Harmony and many other ponies that volunteered their time. Helped to rebuild the city back to its previous glory. It had taken almost four months, even with the magical assistance of the draconequus and the two goddesses, but it had been rebuilt. Now there was only one final thing to do.

"Discord, thank you for your assistance in rebuilding Canterlot. It would have taken us so much longer if you hadn't helped." Celestia stated with a warm smile. "Now for the final piece to be placed into the Canterlot Gardens." She sighed as she levitated the statue of Kindle and Midnight Flame that had been combined during battle toward the entrance to the garden. The sun princess slowly placed the statue onto the ground before erecting a shield around it in order to preserve it from the ravaging of time and weather.

As Celestia gazed upon the statue, Discord stood by her in silence for a short time until he heard another set of footsteps coming up behind them.

"So everything is in order now princess. The castle has been returned to normal as well as the rest of the city. The gold stores have been returned to the castle vault along with the elements of harmony and other various items that you had requested. Everything seems to be in order." Samantha stated as she looked over her clipboard to doublecheck everything.

Celestia turned as she wiped a tear from her eye from looking at the statue. She gave a soft smile as she trotted by Samantha. "Thank you Samantha, but if you will, please excuse me. I........... need to be alone." She sighed as she went into the castle. Samantha turning to watch her leave.

"She is having a hard time adjusting to the loss of Midnight." Discord stated as he stepped up to the humans side and placing his taloned paw onto her shoulder.

"I know, I just wish we could do something to help her." She sighed as she looked up to the draconequus.

"She will be ok in time. She still has her foals, sister, and friends to help her adjust to the loss. I can only imagine the pain and suffering that the others are going through as well." He sighed as he rubbed the back of his neck in thought.

"You seem to be a little down and out as well." Samantha spoke up catching his attention.

"Yea, Midnight and I were like brothers, even if he denied it." Discord chuckled. "He was an interesting character and kept me on my toes. One of the few to have ever done so."

"Hey, Night is still with us, he's just a garden centerpiece at the moment. I'm sure Twilight will find a cure for this curse in time, so don't worry." Samantha smirked giving him a gentle punch in his bear arm. "Come on, we've been working all day, how about a drink? My treat." She smiled up to him as he gave a disheartened smile in return.

The two had made their way back into Ponyville from Canterlot to grab a drink together. Seeing as Canterlot was still in the process of bein refurbished with materials to its shops and restaurants. After a short walk around the town they arrived at the local bar, taking a seat in a far corner to be away from prying eyes.

It was already later in the evening and the sun had already set in the horizon, leaving a small trace of sunlight that was turning the rust colored horizon into the darkness of the night. However, none of the bars patrons could see that since there were no windows to look out of, just bare walls that had dart boards and pictures hanging from it. The heavy scent of cigars and alcohol filled the air throughout the bar giving it a homely atmosphere. A place to go when you felt down and out. A place where you could get together with friends and just relax while having a cold beer.

As Samantha and Discord had taken a seat, a large earth pony with a mug of beer setting inside a large amber shield cutiemark trotted up to the table.

"Well now, never thought I'd see another human or even the God of Chaos come into my shop. What can I get for you two?" He asked in a slightly gruff voice.

"Something light right now please." Samantha stated causing the pony to nod.

"Hard Cider it is." He chuckled as he headed back to the bar to get the drinks.

"So......... taking me out for a drink huh? Didn't think we were that far along in our relationship." Discord chuckled toward Samantha only to cause her to sputter.

"W-what!? What relationship?! I just wanted to go out and have a drink. You just so happened to be in the right place at the right time when I felt like having a drink is all. Don't get it in your head the we're an item or anything." She huffed back to him.

"Fine, fine, I was just joking anyway. Besides your not my type anyway." He smirked causing her face to grow a little red in annoyance.

"Not your type? Really?! And how am I not your type?" She asked again as her face continued to get redder.

"Well for one, you're human, two, you're mortal, three, you couldn't handle me." He chuckled as he noticed her face getting even redder but stopped as the earth pony came back to the table with the drinks.

"Drinks'r'served. Gimme a hollar if'n ya want another round." He chuckled but stopped as he watched Samantha down her entire mug in only a few seconds, slamming it back onto the table before giving a loud burp.

"Keepem coming." She shouted. Smiling as Discord's eyes went a little wide before a smile crept across his face as he down his as well before placing the empty mug back onto the table and scooting it to the bartender.

"My my, such hostility. I do believe I am going to enjoy causing a little bit of chaos here." Discord chuckled toward the human sitting before him.

As the night went on, the drinks kept coming. Samantha's normally quiet nature turning around as she began to berate the draconequus on his continued attempts at trying to push her over the edge.

"Sh-shuddap! Yer a fucking dick discord. T-trying tah piss me off sho I get kicked outta here. *HIC* quitcher bitching and drink yer beer." Samantha spoke out in a drunken tone toward Discord. He smiling as he swayed slightly from his intake of drinks as well.

"Why don'tchu jes go'n play with some beakers, *HIC* NERD!" He chuckled as he began to laugh loudly at the face of fury plasters on Samantha.

"NERD?! Ah may be a *HIC* nerd, but ah'm smarter then ay'll could eva hope teh be ya............ ya......... funny looking squirrel thingy!" She said as she poked him in the chest.

"Ah've been'round since the dawn'o time! *HIC* My little talon has more smarts then yer whole body." Discord chuckled as he pressed his forehead to hers, staring directly and defiantly into her eyes.

"Fuck you, asshole! Ya might be older than me by like........ a MILLION years! But that don't mean shit! Ah know ah'm smarter than yew." She yelled as she ground her forehead into his.

"Fine then, what is the chemical signature for gold?" Discord spouted.

"Au, what is the fusion rate of a brown dwarf star?" She retorted in question.

"Trick question! Brown dwarf stars usually have to low a mass to cause fusion within their core in comparison to larger stars. Why do black holes have such huge gravitational pull?" He grinned thinking he had her stuck.

"They don't have a higher gravitational pull. it just that when a star collapses into a black hole, an object can get closer to it than from the surface in which that shtar was taking up. An as it getsh closher the gravitational pull gets shtronger!" She smirked seeing his surprised expression. "Final queshtion! *HIC* What happens when an unstopable force meetsh an unmovable object?" She grinned know there was no way that Discord could answer that question.

Discord looked at her in surprise before smiling to her. "It does one of two things." He began with a smirk. "It can create or destroy everything in existence."

Samantha sat there giving a puzzled look. "Explain." She spoke in a slightly less drunken tone.

"Better yet, how about I show you?" He snickered as he pulled her to him and vanished in a flash of light. Several bits being left on the table to pay for the drinks.

The two reappeared in the black voice of space. there was nothing in sight, only darkness. The two floated there for a moment before Discord pointed toward a spot in the distance.

"Now watch that area." He grinned as he pulled away from her for a second as he saw a white cloud of energy forming in the distance. It came rushing toward the spot that he had pointed at as light began to cover the area that it was about to hit. The entire are seemed to grow larger and expand outward. It kind of looked like you were high above a baron desert and was dropping a bowling ball from very high up. Once the two objects collided though, there was a brilliant white light that erupted from it causing Samantha to cover her eyes for a moment. After the light died down she gave a loud gasp as she felt something rush through her. She looked forward to the point just in time to see ruble and vapor clouds rushing around and through her as if she wasn't even there. Discord waved his taloned paw as time began to speed up. The two flew along the side of a large gas cloud and ruble as it began to form slowly. After a few minutes she gasped out as she couldn't pull her vision from what she was seeing. It was the milky way galaxy. Discord waved his paw again as the galaxy rushed outward, expanding quickly as they began to close in on the earths solar system. After a few more minutes, they watched the earth develop from prehistoric times to the time Sam had been pulled from her home world.

"Impressed?" Discord spoke out with a smirk, crossing his arms as he watched the human gawking at his awesomeness.

Samantha turned to the draconequus as her face was red. At first Discord thought she was upset, but that soon changed as she lunged at him, wrapping her hands around his neck and pulling him into a drunken kiss.

"And that my dear Alicorn, is how we ended up being an item." Discord chuckled toward Midnight who was only gawking at the story. He chuckled for a second as he looked to Discord with a smirk.

"Yer so full of shit." Midnight laughed as he gave a hard flap, launching him forward toward Ponyville.

Discord hovered on the spot giving a groan. "Why is it SO hard to believe that I time traveled back to the moment of creation and had a make out session with a mortal human female?"
