Ahem...



With the days duties done, the Sun princess retired for the night leaving the ruling of the kingdom in her sisters very capable hooves.

In the dark of her room, Celestia sensed something, a presence and she immediately sat up in her bed. It had not yet passed the threshold of space and time so she prepared herself for whatever it may be, her horn aglow with golden light.

With a loud pop and a flash of light Discord appeared before her grinning with arms spread wide as if saying 'TA-DA!'

The princess rolled her eyes and sighed. What could the trickster be up to at this late hour.

"Discord what are you doing here?"

"Am I not allowed to visit the sovereign ruler of these lands? I'm reformed now, doesn't that mean that I should have the same rights as all the other citizens? What if I bring news or more importantly what if I have a complaint?"

"Of course you have the same rights as everypony. However they know the hours I'm holding court as I'm sure you do too." Celestia said soothingly even though she knew Discord was feigning being hurt.

"Yes well 1pm doesn't really work for me." The draconequus answered picking at his nails with his thumb.

"Really?" The Sun princess raised her eyebrow. "Six hours a day every day isn't enough time for you?"

"Well you know how it is. I have a tremendous amount of responsibilities that simply can not be ignored." Discord said matter of fact causing the princess to bristle.

"What about seven o'clock in the morning?" Celestia asked determined to be civil and not let the trickster get on her nerves.

"Morning tea time." Discord shot instantly.

"Eight o'clock?"

"Pilates."

"Nine?"

"Spa."

"..." Realizing that she was getting no where fast, the princess sighed yet again and decided to get this over with as quickly as possible if she's planning on getting any sleep tonight. "Alright Discord, what is it that you want?"

With a 'poof' a slender scroll appeared in Discord's paw while at the same time a pair of reading glassless popped into existence in his talon. The scroll unraveled proving to be far bigger than it's original size would have suggested.

In an overly exaggerated manner Discord cleared his throat and brought the glasses to his eyes.

"Today I spent time with my favorite ponies and I do believe I'm starting to appreciate this whole 'friendship' thing, although you all did practically blackmail me into accepting your terms." Discord read aloud. "I visited your dear protege, the newly appointed princess Purple Smart and I aided her pet dragon in rearranging her bookstore. The current way it was was simply atrocious, so I re-shelved all of the books from those I found to be the most entertaining to those dusty old tomes which could put a yak to sleep at fifty paces. Twilight was so delighted that we engaged in a fun game of zap-tag where she chased me around trying to hit me with her magic. Obviously I won." Discord took a moment to glance at the perturbed princess before continuing.

"After that I stopped by Sweet Apple Acres where the farm pony was busy preparing treats for the upcoming Nightmare Night festival. She was making candy apples and I decided to help her by turning all of the apples into candy. It seemed like a more efficient way to go about it. She wasn't terribly pleased, but what does she know about apples anyway."

"Discord are you-" The sleepy princess tried to interrupt but Discord just kept reading off his list.

"Next I stopped to by that inaccurately named boutique that in no way moves or plays any kind of music. While the fashionista's works were impressive the gowns could do with a bit more color. A few neon greens here some fluorescent blues there... Needles to say Rarity was so impressed and pleased with my alterations that she fainted from excitement. Not to worry, a fainting couch was nearby."

"Discord." Celestia called more sternly, obviously upset at the grief Discord's been causing her little ponies.

Apparently having not heard her Discord continued reading off his list. "Pinkie Pie actually sought me out and requested my aid, even though I was very busy at the moment I decided to help the pony as all good friends should. Apparently Twilight, Rarity and Applejack were too busy with some trifles to help out a friend in need. In order to fill a particularly large order Pinkie required assistance with baking a few cakes. Now I admit that we might have gone just a little overboard. Lets just say that getting inside Sugarcube Corner will take slightly more time and effort than simply walking through the door. Rainbow Dash wanted to fly faster, this was obvious to me when I appeared before her. She was so caught up with her need for speed that she constantly accelerated whenever I got near her. the solution to her lack of speed was obvious to me. Slingshot."

"Discord!" The Princess shouted probably louder than she had intended, but a difficult day lay ahead of her and she was tired and her patience was wearing thin.

"Lastly I stopped by Fluttershy's. We fed the animals and had tea, it was nice." Discord finished reading and looked up wistfully from the parchment.

Celestia rubbed her temples with her hooves. "Discord." She said exasperated by now.

"Hmm? If you wanted to ask me something all you had to do is speak up." Discord stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Did-Did you just read me your friendship report?" She finally managed to get a word in.

"Of course, that's what the others do, don't they? Naturally being more considerate than them I came in person to read it to you. I know how tiring your duties can be."

"Clearly." Celestia said dryly.

The sarcasm was lost on the draconequus. "You do so much for everyone and get so little in return." He said, getting closer to her bed. "I decided to rectify this injustice and knowing how you like sweets." Discord snapped his fingers and a cake appeared floating beside him. A piece separated itself from the rest and floated towards the princess.

Celestia was shocked at this gesture, but found herself hard pressed to decline the tasty looking treat. She always did have a sweet tooth. But what if Discord did something to the cake, it would be just like him to do something like that?

"Go on. It's one of the leftover cakes Pinkie and I made, don't worry she won't miss them there are plenty left. We made them without using magic, the old fashioned way!" Discord boasted clearly proud of his creation.

This somewhat convinced Celestia to give in and take a small nibble from the cake. The gentle sweet taste filled her mouth as the spongy morsel was squished between her tongue and the roof of her mouth. She waited for something to happen, for the cake to suddenly turn spicy, but nothing changed. it was a simple, ordinary if delicious cake.

No longer holding back Celestia quickly dispatched the remainder of the piece much to Discord's delight. Watching her enjoy her treat and the subsequent smile that spread on her face reminded him of a time long ago a time when even ancient creatures like them could be considered young. Discord missed the time they’d spend together before responsibility drove a wedge between them.

Another piece separated itself from the cake and headed towards the princess of its own accord. Celestia eyed it warily before digging in. The entire cake was soon devored leaving a very satisief alicorn licking her lips.

“I must admit Discord that was delicious.” Celestia sighed happily.

Fearing that their time together was coming to an end Discord quickly snapped his fingers again and several more cakes appeared, each bigger than the last. “I’m glad you enjoyed it, here are a couple more for you to taste-test.”

Celestia eyed the floating cakes dubiously. “I think one whole cake was more than enough…”

“Nonsense! Why that one cake was just the appetizer, wait until you try these.” Discord hurriedly ordered the cakes to Celestia and the alicorn had to lie back on the bed to avoid getting a face full of cake.

Unable to resist the delicious looking confections and Discords pleading look she gave in and ‘sampled’ a few more cakes.

Bite after bite the cakes found themselves in the princesses growing middle, each one tasting better than the last. Discord admitted to himself that he found Celestias little paunch cute and he fully enjoyed being in her company so much so that an idea formed in his head. He was quick to act in hiding the light bulb that appeared above his head before the princess saw.

“Ooohhh…” the princess groaned as she lightly stroked her engorged middle. No doubt about it, she was stuffed. What had possessed her to eat so much? At this rate she’ll be in no shape to attend her daily duties come morning.

She shivered as she felt Discords paw on her taut belly. It sunk in maybe an inch before it was met with resistance from within. The paw slowly began moving in circles staying mostly at the apex of the great white dome. Celestia cooed with delight as it helped relieve some of the pressure and all around bloated feeling.

She noticed that Discord was very close to her now a mischievous smirk on his face. In his talon he held yet another slice of cake.

“Discord that’s enough, I don’t think I could eat anoth-mmfhmf!” Celestia tried to speak through a mouth full of cake. She found herself unable to resist the delightful taste once it was on her tongue, so she chewed and swallowed.

“Come now Celestia, we both know that you can eat more. Relax, enjoy yourself.” Discord told her as he continued rubbing and feeding the now very plump princess. “After all what’s another slice or two, or five, or ten? You work hard, you deserve it.”
