Any passerby happening to watch the odd 7 ponies, dragon, and creature of havoc cross the street may have wondered why the toothpaste colored hair princess looked so angry, and why the blue haired princess winced in discreet pain. However, most were mainly worried about a draconequis strolling down their streets. Many ponies hid in their closets, as though any second something may bite, scratch, or attack them. However, none of the sort happened as the group entered the castle. You may think the noble ponies of Canterlot would warn some guards that Discord was visiting the castle, however the ponies of Canterlot fled. Besides, they told themself, Celestia and Luna were with them, what's the worst that can happen?
--- --- --- --- --- --- ---Discord's POV:
I walked, normal. I wasn't trying to look like an overlord, or a scary beast. I wasn't trying to scare everypony in Ponyville. Yet, that is what I did. I heard doors slam and kids screaming as I passed. I looked down at Fluttershy, whom was walking next to me offering emotional support as I looked at her. She smiled at me and flew up to my face and whispered at me "Don't worry about them."
I realized these words meant much to me, as though she would never speak to me again.
Ever since she had "reformed" me I had thought of the pony with more respect and dignity, or as Rainbow Dash would taunt me I had a ... crush... on her. I sighed sadly. It could never be, she was a pony and I...was a monster.
--- --- --- --- --- --- ---Celestia's POV:
I wanted to scream, do anything not to hide my anger in a lady like manner. Yet, I reminded myself "I am a princess, princesses are always calm, cool, and collected." So I just glared at my sister. She had, once again, landed me somewhere I didn't want to be.... in a room with Discord. She suggested it to Twilight, whom thought it was a good idea. I needed Twilight to trust me, so I had to agree...sadly. I tried to calm myself by thinking something sweet, so I used a magic spell I had heard of in a book to read minds. I used it on each pony, dragon, and...monster. I looked in their thoughts.
Twilight's thoughts were racing with ways to please me, some including...bow down whenever I said something she liked, and offer support to all my ideas, even though some she disliked. My sister was hoping that I wouldn't kill her, that it had just popped out of her mouth. "We should have a meeting on working together with such an odd group". Rarity was thinking...nothing...odd that I couldn't read what she was thinking. Then I noticed she was using her magic at the moment, which was probably why, it must have caused a shield. Interesting. I read Spike's thoughts next, yet the only thing I saw was Rarity. I smiled, Spike liked Rarity, then I frowned again realizing I sounded like a gossiping teenage girl. I read Fluttershy's and saw that she was thinking of Discord...just Discord's face, and she was smiling. I almost smiled but didn't, I was not a blabbing bully. Until I read Discord's thoughts. Ever since she had "reformed" me I had thought of the pony with more respect and dignity, or as Rainbow Dash would taunt me I had a ... crush... on her. I sighed sadly. It could never be, she was a pony and I...was a monster. I almost gasped, but didn't, I just continued to glare. I almost felt bad for the monster, when I realized something. Fluttershy liked Discord, Discord liked Fluttershy. This could be called treason, couldn't it?
--- ---- --- --- --- --- ---Fluttershy's POV:
I tried to think of any way to talk to Discord. Yet, I had a feeling my thoughts were being occupied in others minds. I kept a picture of Discord in my mind until the feeling went away. Then, I thought more. How could I like him? Then I reminded myself, he thought he was beast, he was truly trying to be nice, and Celestia didn't help.
It seems ever since Discord was reformed Celestia is...impatient with him. She acts as if he's never good enough, when I knew he was trying his hardest. Her idea of "pushing him" was making him to the point he felt as though his life was a mistake.
I looked up and realized the castle stood in front of us, and I was concentrating on the ground. I looked up and saw every other pony/1 dragon walking ahead of me, except Discord. Discord stayed with me in the back looking at me with his eyes that seemed to ask "Are you alright?" I smiled and nodded, and we both hurried back up to the group.
