Several months passed, and it was Fluttershy’s birthday. About two months prior to this day was Discord’s birthday, but since nopony came by to say hello, or actually happy birthday, the two only really hung out the entire day. Discord and Fluttershy were still dating, and Rainbow Dash was now back in the sky, flying better than ever. Pinkie Pie was currently preparing the best party for her now twenty year old pegasus friend. Discord and Fluttershy, on the other hoof, were now in their relationship for almost an entire year!

“Oh, I wish I could come," Discord began. "but I just have to attend to my responsibilities!” Discord leaned over his wife once more and kissed the shy mare on the head before continueing. “Happy Birthday, my dear! Arrivederci!” Discord teleported off, and not a moment later, Pinkie Pie burst in.

“HIYA! IT’S TIIIIIIIME!!!!!!” She shouted cheerfully, and Fluttershy’s animals ran into their little houses.

“Oh, my, Pinkie please don’t scream.” Fluttershy said. Pinkie gave an annoyed sigh.

“Yeah, yeah, you can tend to your little animals munchkins later! It’s time for you to come have FUN!” Pinkie said the last word dangerously, and that moment, although Fluttershy didn’t catch the craziness in the pony's voice, Pinkie’s eyes flashed. In that flash, she looked like herself from “Party of One” her pupils shrinking and going out in different directions. The moment ended, and soon Pinkie was practically dragging the poor worried sick pegasus out the door.

Meanwhile, Discord teleported himself right in front of the grand Princess Luna, startling the navy blue alicorn.

“Discord!” she gasped. "Why did you-"

“Hi there, Lu-Lu! Wazzap?” Discord intterupted her, imitating a cartoon annoying orange that they called Annoying Orange (AO). AO was a popular comic and they usually laughed at the ridiculous idea of AO actually being living and talking freely.

“You startled me! Sweet Celestia, don't do that!" Luna scolded the draconeqqus. "Erm, by the way, how’s the Tree of Harmony doing?” Lu-Lu asked, suddenly changing subject.

“It’s fine!” Discord rolled his eyes in annoyance at Luna's constant questioning.

“Are you sure you no longer have chaos drive?” Luna asked for the probably billionth time. The now official ruling princess was still suspicious, but after he had showed her with one of his spells, Luna felt that Staria must have been telling the truth. They are some of the purest angels that ever lived, right?

“Seriously! No longer do I have any sort of dive for chaos! Maybe I just want to do a few pranks, but not chaos! I mean, if past me heard present me right now I would be laughing my head off! Present me still can’t really get used to saying that, you should know!” Discord shouted in explanation for the trillionth time.

“Very well, very well!” Luna huffed. “The senators from Saddle Arabia will be here in an hour. Get yourself dressed, if you please.” Luna commanded and shook her hoof dismissively.

“Oh, wait up sister! I am not going to be treated like some little peasant! I am-” Discord began, but was interrupted by Luna.

“The Lord of Chaos? Hah, not anymore!” Luna chuckled, and the draconeqqus fumed.

Just when he was going to yell at Luna, Discord suddenly dropped to the ground. Luna had cast a spell that literally made his legs give out! He let out a huff, and got back up. Luna was found laughing her head off.

“How dare you!” He growled, his entire body heating up in rage at the princess's antics.

“Hahahahahahahahahehehehehhehho oh Celestia! That was too funny!” She laughed, snorting every few seconds.

“Ugh, just forget it. What do you want me to do again?” Discord hissedthrough gritted teeth.

Luna straightened. “The senator’s remember?”

Discord just groaned. “Yeah, yeah, I’ll get to it.”

“Good,” Luna smiled as Discord teleported off. “It feels great to be in charge.”

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY FLUTTERSHY!” Dozens of ponies screamed, startling the poor birthday pony, Fluttershy.

“EEP!” Fluttershy ducked down in fright. Looking up shakily, she noticed everypony's awkward stares and brushed herself off, clearly embarrassed at her actions. “Oh, um...t-tthank you!” The yellow pegasus blushed as she slowly stood up, only to be pushed down again as Pinkie Pie patted her on the head.

“Aw, it’s okay Fluttershy! Everypony get spooked once in a while! It’s natural!” Pinkie assured. “Now let’s PARTAY!!” She yelled and the crowd gave a cheer in response.

Within moments, the crowd separated, and gave Fluttershy their best wishes. The crowd began to dance, and all of Fluttershy’s friends gathered around for a hug.

Well, most of them.

“Happy birthday Fluttershy! Ah hope you get the best of yer wishes to come true!” AppleJack cheered.

“Mmm-Hmm!” The others cheered.

“Aw, thank you! I couldn’t ask for better friends.” Fluttershy smiled.

“Speaking of your friends, why isn’t Discord here?” Twilight asked. “I mean, I was able to come here, but mostly because Luna said she got the senators from Saddle Arabia covered.”

“Discord mentioned having royal duties, something about Luna needing him.” Fluttershy answered.

“Wait! Does that mean Discord is going to a conference with the senators?!? Not on my watch!” Twilight gasped, and within a second she was at the door. “I’ll have to catch up later Fluttershy, but right now I have serious matters to attend to!” Twilight flew out the doorway, and out of sight in ten seconds flat.

“Golly, it really seems like Twi sure don’t trust Discord yet with their ‘royal duties’, Ah mean, Ah ain’t got nothin’ as to why she don’t. That's her business. But he sure does seem a bit changed, which on my take, is pretty darn good.” AppleJack commented.

“Yeah, ever since our get together a few months before AJ’s birthday he has been, er, different, even I have to admit that.” Rainbow agreed.

“I bet it’s just the fact that he’s getting more used to pony kind.” Fluttershy suggested, and that statement quieted them. “In fact, he's nicer now, isn't he?"

“Yeah, I’ll have to agree with you on that one, Fluttershy!” Spike said, sipping on some punch.

“Psh, yea, but anyways, shouldn't we get ahead and get our party on?!?” Pinkie asked, being as enthusiastic as always. Not being able to resist her invitation, the other five ponies and dragon joined her in a fun game of pin-the-tail-on-the-pony.

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

After a long day of partying, Fluttershy finally went home. She and Twilight had just been going over what happened after her important conference, and the purplest of purple alicorn warned that Discord was most likely to pop in any moment. Fluttershy thanked her, but then warned her to be careful herself. Discord could be pretty unpredictable sometimes. And random.

Discord, meanwhile, was enraged. Why did Luna and Twilight treat him so rudely? He felt mistreated and abused for seemingly no good reason. ‘Maybe this is how ponies thought when I and Dark Age took over?’ He thought to himself. But after moments of discussing throughout his head, Discord shook it off. "I’ll just tell Fluttershy about it,” He mind-spoke.

(Mind speaking is when you speak in your mind, if you were wondering!)

Then he remembered.

‘Ah yes, the ring! I am hoping to propose tonight!’ He beaned took out a pink velvet box with the ring in it. He looked at it for a moment, crashed into a nearby tree because he was currently flying home at the time, then teleported off to his destination.

“Eek!” Fluttershy squeaked as Discord appeared before her.

“Why hello, m'dear! How was the party?” Discord asked, much excitement in his voice.

“Fine, thank you.” Fluttershy pecked Discord on the cheek. “How were the senators? Did Twilight stop you from talking to them?” Fluttershy asked, settling herself in a chair.

“Yes, pesky Twilight Sparkled did stop me! Not just that, Luna bossed me around and laughed at me! I was about to yell at her when she used her magic to make my legs just literally give out! Seriously! She can be such a jerk sometimes!” Discord huffed. “Can you believe that?”

“Well, she is now in charge. I see how you feel, though. Sometimes having a laugh can be fun, but not when ponies are laughing about you.” Fluttershy sympathised.

“Yeah, I suppose.” Discord muttered. “But Fluttershy, dear, there’s something I...need to tell you.”

Noticing the amount of importance in the draconequus’ voice, Fluttershy stood up. “Yes, Discord?” she asked, ready for anything he could throw at her.

Excepting this.

“Discord-” Fluttershy began, but then gasped.

Discord plopped onto one knee, and a pink velvet box appeared in his hands. He opened it to reveal a dazzling hoof ring, with stunning turquoise gems shaped like small hexagons. The ring itself was pure gold, with some pink tints and highlights to give it a more “Fluttershy” feel. This was meant for her and her only, and Discord wanted Fluttershy to know it. All his love poured out of him as he said those next few words in such a sincere voice it was hard to believe that this was the Lord of Chaos, the villainous ruler of Equestria more than a thousand years ago

“Fluttershy,” Discord began. “Will you marry me?” He gulped, anxiety pushing at him in every way for Fluttershy's answer.

“Discord, I-we-yes!” Fluttershy jumped on him and hugged him tight. “Yes! Yesyesyesyesyesyesyes!” She cheered like filly Twilight when she got invited to be Celestia’s student and her Magic Kindergarten. Discord hugged the excited mare back tight, and they kissed, as most couples do when the man proposes to the girl.

“And actually, I have a ring for you. My animal friends helped me make it, especially Angel.” Fluttershy took out a dazzling ring that looked exactly like the one Discord gave her, but with different colors. Instead, the gems were a bright red with soothing grey tints and highlights.

“Huh, we must’ve been thinking the same thing!” He took the ring and inspected it. “But it’s beautiful. thank you, dearest Fluttershy.” Discord flashed Fluttershy a smile and they kissed again. They truly did love each other.

As they squeezed each other tight, a sudden thought came to Discord’s mind. “Now that we’re engaged, we’ll have to tell them, won’t we?” Discord implied about the others.

Fluttershy flew a step back to look at Discord in the eye. “Of course we would, and Luna too, aaaand I guess we’ll just have to explain it to them. But that doesn’t matter right now.” Fluttershy caressed Discord’s cheek for a moment and smiled. “What’s important is that we now have each other, and now I won’t let anything stop me from loving you, Discord.” she said, her voice calm and sincere.

Discord grinned. “Me too, dearest, me too.” With that, the couple went on upstairs to go on to bed, for it was horribly late and they both had quite a busy day.

No pony could prepare them for the reactions and actions that were coming for the two for the sunrise indicating the next day.

Viewers- WHAT?!?
Me-Yes, they are getting married! Excited for the others' reactions? I am!
Anyways, I want to mention that in Marrige Life and the stories written before that, Luna and Discord love to prank eachother. That's where I got the idea from.
Marrife Life is written by Legacy55, you guys should really check him/her out! He's a SUPER writer.
PLUS Did any of you notice the jokes about Annoying Orange and the saying of Ten Seconds Flat?
But I wonder, how did Discord's and Fluttershy's rings look so alike?
Well, Fluttershy DID say that little Angel had helped especially with making the ring.
