Chapter Four


Meanwhile, Moe and Curly were working on hanging some flower hearts on the wall, Larry was cleaning the stain glass windows. Moe turned to Curly, who was humming the “MLP” tune to himself as he got the tool box.

“Hurry up with those tools.” Moe told him before Curly turned around and accidentally hit Moe in the stomach. Moe glared at Curly.

“Gimme that, you nitwit!” Moe said as he tool the toolbox.

He then took the yardstick and measured the height for the nail for the heart to be placed.

“Mark it off!” Moe told Curly, who then marked the spot with a pencil. Curly then took the nail and hammer and placed the nail at the spot. But just before Curly could hammer it, Moe stopped him.

“Wait a minute, you dimwit! Don’t you know nuttin’ about drivin’ nails? Are you that dumb?” Moe said before pointing the the nail, “Do you see where that nail is pointing?”

Curly looked at the nail and saw it was pointing away from the wall.

“That nail is for the opposite wall. Come on.” Moe said before dragging Curly by the ear to the opposite wall, “Start nailin’!”

Curly swung his hammer, but hit Moe on the head without noticing, accidentally knocking Moe out. Curly looked at the spot before speaking.

“That nail don’t belong…” Curly began to say before he noticed Moe on the ground, “Hey, what’re going to sleep now for? You know I…”
Curly realized Moe was knocked out and knelt beside him. Curly helped him up.

“Hey, Moe! Hey, Moe! What happened? What happened?” Curly said as Moe woke and sat up, “Say a few syllables.”

“I’ll annihilate ya! I’ll murder ya!” Moe said before Curly dropped him.

“Wrong syllable!” Curly said as he dropped Moe. Moe got up and backed Curly toward the previous wall.

“Get busy over there!” Moe said, “And stop using left-handed nails.”

“I… I…” Curly began to say.

“Start nailin’!” Moe said. Curly placed the hammer at the mark and started hammering. But after a few whacks, Curly hit his finger and yelled in pain.

“Wait a minute, turnip head.” Moe said before grabbing Curly by the nose, then causing his head to hit the nail a few times. Moe and Curly looked and saw that the nail had been driven in and was sticking out just enough to hang the flowers.

“Oh!” Curly exclaimed with a smile. He then moved to the next wall and used his head to drive the next nail in. But before he could Rainbow Dash comes in.

“Hey guys, everything okay in here?”

"Soitenly, ma'am." Curly replied

Rainbow dash took a good look around to see how the stooges progress was coming.

"Huh, not bad. But are you guys sure you don't want any help?"

"Don't worry Ms. Dash, we got everything under control."

"No problem." Rainbow said, "If you do need a helping hoof, just give us a yell."

After Rainbow Dash left, Moe then turned back to Larry and Curly.

"What are you standing around for, get back to work!"

“He’s right, you know Murphy's counting on us!" Larry said.

“Aye Aye!” Curly saluted as the Stooges immediately went back to work. Curly continued to hammer in the nails, but then one of them suddenly came back out. Curly was surprised at this, but he shrugged and went over to nail it back in. However, after nailing it in, the nail came back out again.

"HMPH!!!" Curly grunted in frustration before something caught his eye, "Oh! Glue!"

Curly put glue on the nail before hammering it back in. After making sure it won't come out again, Curly went on to the next nail. Curly began to swing his hammer at the nail, but the hammer wouldn't move. He tried in vain to swing it, but it wouldn't budge.

"HMPH!!!" Curly grunted in frustration.

"What's the matter with you?" Moe asked.

"The hammer, it won't budge!"

Just then, the hammer whacked Curly on the head.

"OW!!!"

"Won’t budge huh?" Moe asked, crossing his arms.

Just then, the rug suddenly slipped from under Moe and Curly's feet, and the two fell to the ground with a tremendous thud.

"Ow! What is going on here?!" Moe exclaimed

"This Place is probably haunted!" Curly asked before Larry walked up.

"What's the idea of sitting on the job?"

"Something gave us the slip!" Curly said, "This place is haunted!"

"You're crazy." Moe said before giving Curly a slap. Just then, they heard a voice snickering

"What’cha snickering about?" Moe asked Larry

"I wasn't snickering." Larry replied

"Oh so it was you, wasn't it Mr. Funny man?" Moe said, now turning to Curly.

"No, that wasn't me." Curly said.

"Well it wasn't me." Moe said.

"Then who was snickering?" Larry asked.

They looked to see where the laughing was coming from. And saw a strange looking creature in a stain glass window.

"Hey, where did that thing come from?" Larry asked.

"What IS that thing?" Curly asked.

"You boys are a riot!" laughed the creature

"What's that supposed to mean?" Curly asked.

"You guys are REALLY good for a laugh." the creature continued to chuckle.

“What’s going on in here?”

The three stooges turn to see Tyler walking in with Joe close behind

Just then, the creature in the window vanished. In a flash of light, Discord appeared in the room.

"I was just having some fun with these goofballs." Discord grinned, "You should've seen them!"

The three stooges stood speechless by this sudden appearance as Tyler rolled his eyes in amusement.

"Why am I not surprised?"

"You know this guy Tyler?" Joe asked.

"That's Discord, spirit of chaos and disharmony. He was once an enemy of Equestria. But he's reformed." Tyler told Joe, "Though he does retain his mischievous side."

"So you're the one behind this!" Moe realized.

"Oh, a wise guy!" Curly added

"Oh now, now, I was just having a little fun." Discord said with a smile

"That's Discord for you." Tyler told Joe

"I see, but I'm afraid that this is no time for fooling around. We need to get this room done by tomorrow."

"Please, allow me." Discord smiled. And with a snap of his fingers, the entire room was beautifully decorated and ready for the ceremony. The Stooges looked in amazement

"Oh boy!" Moe said, "Just what need, some magic fingers!"

"You boys have my word that I won't cause anymore trouble." Discord smiled before turning to Tyler, "After all, we don't want to ruin this special day."

"Thanks Discord." Tyler smiled.

"Oh yeah, we were about to take a break for some dinner." Joe said, "You guys hungry?"

"Yeah. Thanks, Joe." Larry said

"Come on then."

And with that, everyone including Discord followed the young lion out of the chapel.


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

Not far away, The Neo Guardians were helping the Star Dragons decorating the main hall. As they do, Murphy and Daizua were still catching up with each other.

"Oh, that reminds me," Daizua said as he told Murphy about the battle with Zorg and his forces, "it turned out that you suspicions on Zutinai were right."

"They were?" Murphy asked in surprise

"Yes, it turned out that Zutinai was working for Zorg as a spy. He attacked and tried to kill me, luckily he didn't."

“Then what happened?” Bold asked.

“I along with Goola, Gnu, Rouchet, & Dracosaura raced to the battle field to confront Zorg. The battle was vicious, and the two of us were evenly matched. But in the end, I managed to force him into retreat.”

"That's good." said James Thunder.

"But what about that Zutinai creep?" Pavvy asked.

"Yeah, what happened to him?" Wajo asked

"Zutina perished as well," added Daizua, "I found his headless corpse after the fight."

Hearing that made Pavvy shudder.

"Well, at least that's one less villain you have to worry about." Murphy said.

"Yeah, about that," Daizua said as he rubbed the back of his head, "I'm sorry I doubted you before."

"It's quite alright." Murphy smiled at his old friend.

"It's just I didn't want to deal with betrayal, and I'm not used to it," replied the Fire Prince

"I understand." Murphy replied putting a hand on his friends shoulder. And at moment, Twilight Sparkle came in to check on the progress.

"Hey, Twilight." Murphy smiled

"How're things going?" asked Twilight.

"Going well." Murphy smiled, "We'll have this done in no time flat."

"Great. Well, I'm gonna go and see if my friends need any help."

As Twilight walked by, she wasn't watching where she was going and bumped into another pony. She looked and saw it was Flash Sentry, their eyes met each other which caused them to blush.

"Should we give you two a moment alone?" Sparx asked teasingly. This just made the two ponies turn bright red.

"Come on Sparx, stop teasing them." Spyro chuckled, though he and Cynder couldn't help but laugh as well. So did everyone else, including most of the Neo Guardians. When Daizua took notice of the two ponies blushing, however, he sheds a tear and walked off.

"What's eating him?" Sparx asked, having noticed.

"I'll explain later." Murphy said before going after him. The young lion found Daizua staring out of a window, deep in thought, "You OK, Daizua?"

Daizua sniffled and answered, "Seeing Twilight with that stallion an blushing brought back old memories. Memories that I.....Don't...really......want to remember."

"You mean of what happened to your fiancé during the Genocide you told me about?"

Daizua sighs and nods, then  begins to break down. Murphy placed his hand on his shoulder in an attempt to comfort his friend.

"Remember that I went through the same pain you did when I lost my family," Murphy said "and It was hard for me to let it go"

Daizua adds, "That's what I'm struggling to do."

"Then that what you need to do. You need to put the past behind you, like I did. "

Daizua thinks for a bit and sight, "I need to be alone for a while, please.  But thank you for your advice."

Murphy nods as he watched Daizua walked off. He turned to see Lilly approach him.

Lilyena asked, "Is Daizua ok?"

Sighing, Murphy turned to the young girl.

"He was thinking about his past. After seeing Twilight and Flash together, he remembered his late fiancé."

Lilyena sighed, "He never did tell us very much on how she died... he seems so secretive about it"

"I wish there was something I could do." Murphy sighed.

"Maybe I can be of some help." said a female voice. Lily and Murphy turned to see it was Princess Luna, with Princess Cadence at her side. Lilyena bows to the two.

"How so, Princess Luna?" asked Murphy, bowing.

"I know what Daizua is going through." Luna replied, getting Daizua’s atention "The guilt..."

Daizua asks, "What are you saying, Princess Luna?"

"Let me ask you, do you feel guilty for the actions that cost the loss of your loved one's lives?" the princess of the night asked gently.

"I do," answered the prince, his eyes gazing at the floor in shame, "I was unable to protect them in our most vulnerable hour."

"How can you say such a thing?" Cadence asked.

"Yeah, neither you nor your father knew what was coming." Murphy said, "You shouldn’t blame yourself for what happened."

Daizua pounds his fist into the wall in anger, "How would you feel being the very last of your kin?"

Murphy was taken by surprise by Daizua's sudden out burst, and so was Lilly and Cadence.

"I-I'm sorry, I didn't know came over me." Daizua sighed.

"Daizua, I know how you feel." Murphy said.

"Daizua, you can't let your guilt cloud your mind." Luna said, "I did that once before."

"Y-you have?" Daizua asked as he whipped his eyes.

Princess Luna nodded, "A thousand years ago, I grew jealous of my older sister, for she raises and sets the sun while I do the same for the moon. The ponies of Equestria adored my sister's sunny days while they slept through my nights.One day, my jealousy consumed me and turned me into Nightmare Moon, and I wanted more than the night to last forever. My sister tried to reason with me, but the darkness inside made me refuse to listen. And because of that, my sister had no other choice to use the elements of harmony to exile me to the moon. But years later, I returned and tried to continue what I started, until Twilight and her friends freed me from this dark influence."
Daizua and Lily stood in awe as they heard Luna's story.

"But I don't understand," Daizua said, "How does that relate to what happened to me?"

"Like you, I was filled with great remorse for my actions." Luna continued, "And I swore to never forgive myself."

"But what happened?" Lilly asked.

"To punish myself, I created a monster to haunt my dreams so I'd never forget what I'd done. Unfortunately, that was another terrible mistake I made. For it began to infect the dreams of Twilight Sparkle and her friends. It was slowly growing powerful enough to escape our dreams and turn Equestria into a living nightmare."

"Oh my goodness!" Lilly said.

"And it would've broken free, if Twilight and her friends hadn't convinced me to let go of my guilt." Luna said with a smile before shifting her gaze towards Daizua, “Don't make the same mistake that I did, Daizua."

"And you've got all of us here to support you." Lilly said as she took Diazua's hand, which caught Cadence's attention.

"We're your friends," Murphy said as he placed a brotherly arm around him, "And we're gonna stick with you to the very end."

Whipping away some tears, Daizua smiled upon hearing his friends words, ""Thank you, Princess Luna, thank you all. I do feel a little better now."

Luna and Cadence smiled at this. Soon, they hear little footsteps entering the room. Lilyena squeals in excitement to see a small purple dragon with green spines. "He's so cute!" proclaimed Lilyena as she hugged Spike, "I wanna take him home!"

"Huh?!?!" Spike asked in Surprise as Murphy and Daizua just stared a her blankly, "What's going on here?"

"This is Spike." Murphy told Lilly, "Twilight's number one assistant."

"Yep," Spike smiled, struggling to breathe, "That's me."

Daizua gives an annoyed sigh, "She has a... love for cute things, or at least what she would consider cute."

"Fluttershy gets that way sometimes when it comes to animals." Murphy chuckled.

"Then she'd be a good friend for Lilyena," replied Daizua

"Uhhh, if you don't mind," Spike said, "could you put me down?"

"Lilyena, I know you like the little dragon, "said Daizua, "but let him go before you squeeze him to death."

She does so, and Spike takes a huge breath.

Murphy couldn't help but chuckle at this.

"Back at home, there used to be many dragons, most would make our new friend here look like a cub," explained Daizua, "until they were driven to extinction by the Titans. Dracosaura is the only dragon left in Alayssia."

"Uh... the Titans?" Spike asked in confusion.

"They look like dragons," explained Murphy, "only bigger, smarter, and meaner. But they're Daizua's friends."

"With the exception of Zorg," responded Daizua, "An old foe of mine."

"Oh." Spike realized,

"By the way Spike, was there something you wanted to tell us?" Murphy asked.

"Oh right, Tyler wanted you to know that we were just about to break for dinner. You guys hungry?".

Daizua gets up, "I guess I could use a bite or two."

"Me too, all of these preparations has really worked up my appetite." Murphy smiled.

"Same here." Lilly giggled.

"Well then, lead on, Spike."

"Yes sir!" Spike said with a salute before leading the group to the dining hall.

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





Minutes later, whiile somewhere else at the palace, Moe and Bold entered the garden as Moe carries a golf club with the golf ball. They realized they weren't hungry yet, so they decided to play golf while Moe teaches him about the game, since the doberman has never heard of it.

“So...how does this sport even work?”, Bold asked, being curious.

“Simple. You put the ball down, you take a swing at it with your club here, and you drive it towards a hole”, Moe explained.

“That's it? Sounds lame. Rainbow Dash would get bored of this already”, Bold said, as they reached a certain spot and Moe sticks a tack to the ground before placing the ball on it.

Hobbes came outside next, apparently looking for the two.

“Hey, what are you two doing? We still have the garden to finish before tomorrow. Heart and Greeghan need some help”, Hobbes said as he approached them.

“Don't worry, my feline friend, everything is taken care of. The garden will be done before you know it”, Moe assures him as steadies himself to strike the golf ball.

“Besides, the chapel is finished, so we're on break anyways”, Bold said.

Hobbes watches Moe as he prepares to drive the ball. Moe took a fast swing, but completely misses the ball by centimeters. Instead, he struck the grass and sent some soil flying a few inches.

Hobbes laughed at this.

“Ha! You call that a swing? You wouldn't even hit a bird with that”, Hobbes mocked.

“Oh yeah? Well, we would like to see you try! This ain't easy at it looks”, Moe said.

“Sorry fellas, but I'm not the golfing type”.

“Tell you what; you hit the ball past this ball here, and we'll head to the garden to help”, Bold challenged him with a smirk.

“Deal! Give me the club”, Hobbes accepted.

Moe hands Hobbes the club, then the tiger steadies himself to strike. Bold and Moe snickered to themselves, already waiting for the tiger to fail. Hobbes took a deep breath, and swung his club. It struck the ball with a powerful force, that it was sent skyrocketing to the air. It continued going as far as it can before it “literally” struck the bird that was perched on top of the tower in the distance.

Moe and Bold's jaws were dropped in shock. It is not because of Hobbes actually striking the ball. It is because of the distance between them and the tower where the bird was perched.

Hobbes turned to them with a pleased smirk on his face.

“Back to work, fellas”, he smirked.

“That tower was like 300 yards!”, Moe said in awe.

“Is that good?”, Hobbes asked.

“It's unbelievable, I say!”.

But Bold wasn't completely convinced yet that Hobbes was able to achieve this.

“Beginner's luck, try again. Two bits says you can't do that again”, Bold said, placing another ball on the tack.

Accepting another bet, Hobbes readies himself, and takes another swing. He struck the ball once more, sending it careening into the air. It reached the tower once again, but this time, it shattered through one of its windows.

“Wow, you just struck out that window!”, Moe exclaimed.

“It's not my fault, the builders shouldn't have placed it there”, Hobbes shrugged.

“Okay, one more time! Double or nothing!”, Bold challenged Hobbes once more.

“You better pay up...”, Hobbes reminds him.

Hobbes took one final swing and struck the ball again. It comes flying towards the same tower, but unfortunately, one of the palace maids was checking out what happened to the shattered window. Before the pony even saw it coming, she got struck in the head, and was knocked out cold.

Just as he saw it, Hobbes immediately tossed the club aside, seeing that he should stop playing golf.

“Uh, should we just head back inside now?.

Bold and Moe didn't waste time thinking about it. “Eeyup”, they said,

They casually walked back inside before they were caught, while whistling casually.
