66.

They stood outside of the fountain still in their shrunken state. Twilight wiggled out of Discord’s grip quickly and she frowned at him. “Don’t touch me.” She muttered as she flapped her wings slightly, her cheeks were flush.

Discord shrugged. “Okay. Prin… cess.” He looked at her and shook his head then snapped his fingers and he became normal sized. Twilight used her magic and she grew. All of them grew; Lilly and Zero were the last to change size.

Twilight trotted to the fountain and looked at it. “There’s still no water.”

“Geez Aunt Twilight. Give it time.” Paradox snorted.

There was a strange bubbling noise coming from the fountain and a rather small trickling of water started drop from the mouth of the fountain.

“Hey there we go.” Zero stated as he looked at the water. “It’s crystal blue in color.”

“Excellent. That is the way it’s supposed to look.” Discord stated and looked at Lilly. “You never cease to amaze me.”

“Should have brought her along to begin with.” Twilight stated as she glanced at Lilly while Discord examined the water.

“I really didn’t want to go.” Lilly said as she yawned.

Discord nodded at his daughter. “Maybe you and Zero should head back home.” He put his paw on her head as he leaned down and whispered something in her ear. She blinked at him and nodded.

“Yeah. Good night every pony.” She spread her wings and Zero did the same as they both flew off.

“So now what?” Paradox asked as he looked at the water.

Discord grinned as he went to the fountain and started to drink the water. When he was done he smacked his lips. “Yep that is refreshing. Makes me feel about a hundred years younger.”

Twilight rolled her eyes. “Move please. I’m going to fill these things.” She had a couple containers and started to fill them with the water.

Paradox was starting to yawn as he looked at Silver; she was watching Twilight as she leaned against him. “Do you remember anything about sleep walking?” he asked.

“I don’t sleep walk, I used to when I was a filly, mom says she had to lock my room afraid I’d walk off the cloud.” She giggled. “Why do you ask?”

“Oh um, no reason.” Paradox muttered then hugged her. “I think we should have dinner with Rainbow Dash soon.”

“Why do you want to have dinner with mom?” Silver asked.

Paradox shrugged. “I have to ask her something.”

“Okay, I have what we needed.” Twilight announced. “Can we go?”

“Not quite.” Discord stated as he filled a couple vials himself. “Now we can.” He started to chuckle. “By the way, you won’t remember where this is.”

Twilight looked defiantly at him. “Yes I will.”

“Believe me you won’t.” He started laughing as he held up his claw and snapped his fingers.

All four of them appeared in Canterlot in the throne room. Discord casually strode over to the throne and sat down. Twilight let out a sigh. “Thanks. Now perhaps we can get this place back in order.”

“Good luck with that water. I’ll hold down the fort while you ‘heal’ Celestia.” He lounged on the throne.

Paradox and Silver watched as Twilight left and Paradox went over to his father. “Dad, what will happen if the water works?”

“We move back to Ponyville of course.” He replied.

“You’d give this up?” He asked.

“Of course Dox. I promised your mother I would.”
