Discord woke up to the sound of books falling to the floor. He looked down from his cloud to see that all the library shelves had been emptied. And their content now littered the floor. In the middle of the pile was Twilight. She looked up at Discord.

He shook his head. "I didn't do it."

"Of course not. I did!"

Wait... Twilight, Miss Everything Needs To Be Organized, had just...messed everything up?!

"Why?"

"I figured I'd reshelve the books before leaving."

Discord hopped off his cloud, floating down to the princess. "Leaving?"

She nodded. "I think it's time for me to head back to Canterlot. You're doing fine on your own here. You and Derpy have reconnected and it's been the best thing to happen to the both of you. That's what Celestia wanted."

Discord raised a brow. "So... You're going back to Canterlot? And leaving me here?"

"Is that a problem?"

He couldn't form a response. He wasn't sue how he felt about being left alone. He had gotten used to having ponies around. Especially Twilight for the past few weeks.

Twilight turned from the draconequus and began to sort books. Discord had to dive into the kitchen to avoid being hit.

---------------------------------

After pulling together some breakfast, Discord had decided to go for a walk. He needed time to think. Now he was walking down a street in his pony form. He looked around at the shops and the ponies. Could he learn to live here? He doubted that Ponyville would accept him. After all, he did try to make this the Chaos Capitol of Equestria once.

"Hey Dad!"

He was caught off guard as Derpy landed in front of him. Her smile melted away as she saw his look. "Is something wrong?"

"No. It's just... Twilight's going back to Canterlot."

Derpy's ears drooped. "Oh. That's sad. I really liked her."

"Me too. I mean, it's not as if I won't ever see her again, but still..."

"Are you going to leave too?"

He looked at his daughter. Her sadness was obvious. He pulled her in for a hug. "No. I could never leave you."

"But you don't want Twilight to leave?"

Discord froze. Even he was still surprised at some of he things Derpy could do. He doubted he would ever understand how she could read him so well.

"No."

"Then why don't you tell her?"

"It's not that simple. She's a princess. She has...princessy things she needs to do. Me... I'm just me. I don't have responsibilities. I can't just tell her to not be who she is."

Derpy stepped back, looking over her father. "Do you want to go back with her?"

Discord sat down. Did he? Did he want to go back to Canterlot? Or did he want to stay with his daughter?

He looked to Derpy. "What should I do?"

She smiled. "Whatever makes you happy!"

"You make me happy. And Twilight... She's beginning to make me happy too."

"Why don't you go with her then?"

The draconequus stared in shock at his daughter. "And just leave you?"

The pegasus giggled. "Well don't leave for good! You can come back and visit!"

"You wouldn't mind?"

She grabbed him in a tight hug. "I'm just happy I got to meet you. You've done so much for me."

He returned the hug. "And you for me."

As they pulled apart he smiled. "I'll come and visit as soon as I can."

"Tomorrow?"

"Probably!"

They laughed for a minute.

Derpy gave him one last hug. "Bye Dad."

"I'll see you soon, alright?"

"Maybe we could do more magic practice next time."

"I'd like that very much."

"And have some muffins?"

"Well what else are we going to eat?"

----------------------------------

Discord stepped into the library. All the books were back on the shelves. To him it looked exactly the same, but he was sure that everything had been changed.

Twilight appeared at the top of the stairs. "Oh good! I didn't know if I'd see you before I left. Were you out with Derpy?"

He nodded. "Yes. I was just saying goodbye."

"Goodbye? Why would you do that?"

"We're going back to Canterlot, aren't we?"

"I'm going back to Canterlot. You're staying here."

"Says who?"

"Says me! You should stay with your daughter!"

"She's a grown mare. She can take care of herself."

"And why would you want to leave?"

"Because you're leaving!"

At this point the two were standing nose to nose, their anger having risen with each statement. It wasn't until they pulled away from each other that he noticed Twilight was blushing.

Discord could feel a small smile forming on his face. "You should be careful with that temper of yours."

"I could say the same to you."

"This is going to be difficult, isn't it?"

"Possibly. I've never really..."

"Shall we go?"

"Yes."

They stood next to each other, their flanks almost touching.

Discord chuckled. "So who will break the news to Celestia?"

"About what?"

"Us!"

"There's no us!"

"Keep telling yourself that princess."

He leaned in and kissed her on the cheek. With a flash of light they were gone.
