Chapter 11: Truly Unexpected

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Fluttershy was tending to her garden when Rainbow Dash was flying by. Up in the sky, Rainbow Dash did loop de loops, fantastical turns, and the double inside out loop, which was a new trick she just learned. After a few moments, Rainbow Dash flew down to PonyVille for a bit to rest. This was when Discord decided to give his fiancee a “surprise” by pouncing on her, and thus make both he and Fluttershy go into a silly barrel roll.

“Three…” Discord counted from a tree nearby. “Two...One!” Discord leapt out of the big oak tree. “HELLLOOOOOOO!” He called.

“EEK!” Fluttershy yelped and looked up, just when Discord crashed into her and they, as he planned, did a few barrel rolls before stopping. Unfortunately, Discord banged his head on the ground while doing so, and he held his head.

“Man, I thought that would go better, seems like I was wrong,” Discord said glumly. Fluttershy giggled, and soon the couple were in a fit of giggles and laughter.

That was when trouble was brewed. Rainbow Dash by this time was once again in the skies, flying peacefully over Fluttershy’s cottage. This time when she looked down she gave a gasp. Discord had surprised his fiancee by giving her a kiss, leaving Fluttershy with her eyes widened, giving the implication that he had suddenly kissed her, unexpectedly! ‘Sicko!' Rainbow thought. ‘Wait till I get my hooves on you!’ The high flying pegasus was almost steaming with anger. NO PONY harrases her friends!

“Just wait until I tell the others!” Rainbow actually growled and flew off, going so fast that a bright rainbow trailed off behind her.

“Oh Discord, sweetheart, are you okay?” Fluttershy asked as Discord sat back, one arm clutching his head. He could swear that there must’ve been some sort of metal on the ground, probably hidden by some evil gerbils.

Suddenly, Discord passed out, but Fluttershy didn’t panic. Discord had been working hard lately, with all the lesser-major (if that makes sense) havoc still going on and about without Celestia. Twilight was raising the sun, Luna the moon, with Discord helping along by being required to cast high level spells, which he could only perform because of his granted wisdom in magic. If you took all his supposed sarcasm away, you could say that Discord could be quite a potential teacher in magic. Discord, bringing it back to the present, just needed to rest.

“Hmm, now I’m not sure if he could just sleep out here, so, uh, actually could you guys lift him up and under that big tree?” Fluttershy asked her big, small, and fat animal friends, and the fuzzy things did so. They lifted up the still growing and aging draconeqqus, and heaved him under the big oak tree in front of her house where he had first sprung up and into Fluttershy. “Good. Have sweet dreams, Discord.” Fluttershy gave Discord a sweet kiss on the forehead and went inside her cottage, oblivious of the danger to come.

“Oh Celestia, what happened this time…” Discord muttered as he returned to consciousness a few moments after Fluttershy went inside. He was used to waking up somewhere, remembering what happened a few moments later, and then actually feeling what happened. He was also used to waking up with something utterly wrong, or something just painful. But this time there was no pain, no evil things (like Rainbow Dash), but just a mere bruise on head.

"Huh, looks like I’m in front of Fluttershy’s house...hmm yes, now I rememb-”

“Put ‘em up, Discord!” A shriek was suddenly sounded, and Discord jumped. Before him stood Rainbow Dash, the owner of the sudden exclamation, Pinkie Pie, AppleJack, Rarity, Spike and even Princess Twilight!

“Yeah!” Came a rather cheery sounding voice, obviously from Pinkie Pie.

“From what Ah hear, you been kissin’ Fluttershy! And no pony, Ah repeat no pony harrasses mah friends like that!” AppleJack hissed.

“You just crossed the line this time, Discord,” Twilight muttered.

“And you’re going to pay!” Rainbow Dash lunged at Discord, and Discord tried to teleport when Rainbow Dash’s hoof came in onto his head. Fortunately, Discord didn’t pass out, but he could definitely not teleport now.

“Ouch! Little brat!” Discord hissed as he held his head. “Why did you have to do that-!?!” Discord’s eyes widened as AppleJack tried a sucker punch at his gut, and he shut his eyes as her hoof came into impact.

“That’s what you deserved Dis-!” AppleJack was interrupted by a frantic, high pitched yelp.

“No! Please, stop! Don’t hurt him!” Fluttershy screamed. She flew out of her house and in front of Discord protectively.

“But he kissed you!” Rainbow spat out, looking at Discord, who was now doubled over, with pure disgust.

“Yeah, and-!” Pinkie started, but Fluttershy cut her off with another shriek, this time as a confession.

“That'sbecausewe'regettingmarried!” Fluttershy shouted those words almost as fast as Pinkie could twitchy-twitch her tail.

There was silence.

Fluttershy looked towards the her PFF's. After a few moments she finally succumbed to it. “Yes, it’s true. Discord...he proposed to me yesterday, and, uh, well, I said...yes.” Fluttershy's voice came out in a squeak when she finally ended that sentence. “C-Cause...you know...um, ever since that day with Dark Age and the Timberwolves we have been dating…” She finished her explanation, Fluttershy's mutter barely loud enough for everypony to hear.

"T-That, sugarcube...is the craziest thing Ah have ever heard.” AppleJack finally breathed.

The others slowly nodded.

“So, for eleven months you've been dating, eleven.” Twilight had no clue how she couldn't have realized this before, Fluttershy and Discord had been dating for almost a year under their noses!

"Um, yes?" Fluttershy looked meekly down to her fiance, unsure of what to do. Discord, while not have really enjoyed the suckerpunch of AppleJack's, felt the pain numb and instead felt his stomach twist nervously.

"H-How could you, Flutters?" Rainbow changed her stare of looking into space to that of a glare directed at Fluttershy. "I thought we were so close by now, how could you not have told us?"

Fluttershy felt like running back inside from the harsh glares of the ponies surrounding her. "B-Because...."

"Because we weren't sure how you would all react to this, and we felt that it was going to be for the worst if we told you, especially with what happened with me and Rainbow Dash serveral months ago. We would have told you all sooner if you all maybe you guys treated me a bit better." Discord's voice stood firm behind Fluttershy as he defended his soon to be bride. "If that makes any sense." the draconeqqus finally added.

"Yea, um, what he said." Fluttershy squeaked.

"You mean that if me and you hadn't fought, and we just treated you a bit better and not have jumped to conclusions you could have told us this months ago?!?" Rainbow realized, the thoughts sinking in.

"Exactly," Came Discord's nonchalant reply.

There was another moment of silence.

"Then A-Ah'm so sorry, ya'll. Ah mean, we here shouldn't have...ya'll didn't trust us because of...of..." AppleJack stammered, at a loss for words in the awkward situation.

"US?!?" Pinkie Pie suddenly gasped. "REALLY?!?" The pink pony's shout had a "are you kidding me?" tone.

Discord chuckled, and Fluttershy softened with her friend's tone. "Yes, that's about right." Discord leaned back, the knot in his stomach having completely dissappeared.

"ButwhataboutthattimewhenwewereallhappyaboutbeingtogetherwhenwefoundoutwhatkilledPrincessCelestiaandthenthethingafteryouandDashierecoveredwithFluttershy'sbirthdayandaboutusbeingsadthatyouwerenotthereand-" Pinkie spoke a mile a minute, until finally Twilight clamped her hoof over the hyper pony's mouth.

"What she means is, even after we succesfully destroyed that flower and after you and Rainbow forgave each other you were still unsure about telling us?" Twilight translated.

"Um, yes?" Fluttershy said as inocently as she could manage.

"But Fluttershy, dear! What made you think that we wouldn't understand?" Rarity finally spoke, lifting out her hoof and pulling herself towards Fluttershy, bringing herself right in front of the yellow pegasus.

"Well," Discord brought himself to stand on all fours and slowly wrapped an arm around his fiancee's shoulder. "By how you just all almost pounded me into the dirt, how did you think that we would think you would understand?"

"Oh, um, right." Rairty slinked back in partial shame and embarrassment. It was clear that they had all jumped to conclusions this time.

"So...can you guys now tell us what the hay happened inbetween you guys?" Spike finally asked what everypony besides the to be married couple was thinking at that time, to the other's relief. Eventually, somepony had to do it.

"Sure," Fluttershy beamed, looking over to Discord, who looked right back at her. "Come inside, and we'll tell you all about it.

It was three in the afternoon, and the six ponies, dragon, and draconeqqus were all inside the cozy cottage. Fluttershy and Discord had just finished telling them their romantical story, and now all were left to contemplate the events, which, luckily, all had understood.

"Oh my, look at the time!" Twilight looked outside as she saw the sun residing in the west side of the sky.. "That story sure did take a while, but it was good, nonetheless."

"Oh yes, it feels so much better now that I don't have to keep that secret from you guys anymore. While it's a bit hard to keep it from everypony else, it's good to know that now I have less ponies to worry about." Fluttershy agreed, a small blush showing pink in her pastel cheeks.

"Yea, and now we can have have a totally private congratulations-about-going-to-get-married-soon party!" Pinkie Pie smiled, but to her dismay, Discord let out a small chuckle as he shook his head.

"No, Pinkie, I think that would definatley break our cover," Discord closed his eyes as he imagined the funny scene.

"Aw, really?" Pinkie frowned.

"Yes, really." Discord confirmed.

"Well then, do ya think you could just eat these cupcakes then?" Pinkie asked, bringing a tray fulled to the brim with cupcakes out of nowhere.

"Pinkie!" Rarity yelped. "Where in Celestia sake did you get that?" she pointed at the cupcakes.

"I baked it, duh!" Pinkie dead-panned. Wasn't it obvious?

"Wha-Nevermind." Rarity dismissed the thought, and instead grabbed a cupcake. The rest of the group did the same.

"Mmm, these are good." Rainbow Dash spoke, her mouth bulging with the delectable treat.

"Rainbow, learn to eat with your mouth closed!" Twilight scolded the slightly younger mare.

"What?" Rainbow asked as she gulped the cupcake down.

"Ugh," Twilight facehoofed. "Just-nevermind."

"Okay then," Rainbow shrugged as she reached out for another cupcake. Fluttershy giggled.

"So then," Spike began. "Who do ya think is going to be your, I don't know, best man?" Spike asked, looking at his fingers smugly, as if looking them over.

"Oh, definatley you, Spike," Fluttershy giggled once more; Discord smiled and nodded.

"Yea, and who do ya think is going to be your best mare?" Rainbow Dash asked, the question almost sounding like she was asking for a challenge.

"Uh..." Discord didn't know what to say there for a moment as sudden giggles and snorts could be heard from the surrounding ponies at the thought of Rainbow being rejected. "I think we'll have to,er, decide upon that one."

"What?" Rianbow looked like she was going to be in tears. "I t-thought I-"

"Oh, nononnononono! Don't think of it like that, it's just-" Fluttershy tried stop her friend from feeling sad, she hated doing something like that when she heard Rainbow's voice ring in her ears.

"Gotcha." A sly grin was upon the daredevil's face, and Fluttershy's face went numb.

"What?" Fluttershy asked confusedly as Rainbow Dash began laughing at her priceless expression.

"I said, 'Gotcha!' Do you seriously think that after what's happened, I'd really think that I would be the best mare? No way!" Rainbow repeated, smiling.

Discord actually let out a slightly audible sigh of relief.

Thank Celestia that THAT wasn't going to happen...

"Speakin' o' that, who do ya'll think are gonna be your best mares?" AppleJack asked, her attention focused back on Fluttershy and Discord.

"Well, in the short time that we've had to talk about it, we've decided that all of you will be our best mares, in this order, actually: Pinkie Pie, AppleJack, Rarity and Rainbow Dash, with Twilight in the front as our maid of honor.

"Me?!?" gasped Twilight. "Are you sure?"

"We're pretty sure." Fluttershy nodded. "After all, you've been the one that's always trying to be nice and not hurt anypony's feelings whenever anypony gets into fights, so, yeah."

"Wow, that's an honor! Thank you!" Twilight put a sincere hoof to her heart as a sign of thanks; she was completely caught of guard.

"Three cheers for Twilight! Woo! Woo! Woo!" Pinkie hoof pumped, bringing smiles to everypony's faces.

"And," Fluttershy began as Pinkie settled down. "We've decided that Rairty will be the one that-"

"Makes the dresses?" Rarity finsihed for her PFF. "Why, of course, dear! I would love to!"

"That's good!" Fluttershy smiled. "Otherwise, that's all we got down so far!"

"Awesome! Can I go home now?" Rainbow dead-panned as her eyes drooped. Her face looked so hillarious, her tone so strangely funny, that everypony burst into laughter.

Everything was just right.

Or so they thought.
