When everypony's favorite draconeequs finally reveals he's been lovestruck, shenanigans happen. Lots of shenanigans.

This is a TwiCord story, so don't read it if you don't like it.
It also takes place 7 years after the canon timeline.

And for all you artsy types out there, I'm running a contest for cover art. This is because I have no money for commissions and don't feel like pestering anybody on deviantART for a free request. The cover must contain both Twilight and Discord, and must be appropriate for all ages. To submit, just insert the image into a comment down below. The contest ends February 1st, 2015. Thanks!

This is a story about Discord. Wait, actually this is a story about Twilight. No, I was right, it is about Discord. This is a story about Discord who, after a long 8 years, finally reveals he's had a crush on Twilight ever since he saw her. She was cute, she was smart, she was nearly perfect. The only thing he didn't like about her was that she made him too nervous to tell her how he feels. Now, he has finally worked up enough courage to tell Twilight about his long-time admiration, but what's in store for this Jester of Ponyville?

Exposition Extravaganza

Reflect Upon Love

"C'mon, Discord!" The draconequus yelled at his reflection, "Why so nervous? It's just Twilight. She's just a pony. Just a... pretty sweet loving pony that cares about you. Oh confound it!"

Then his reflection said quite calmly back, "Calm down, Discord. I can't keep listening to you like this. Just be yourself. The best thing you could do is tell Twilight how you feel."

"That's crazy talk," Discord returned sharply, "and I know crazy talk. Do you know how many ponies try that? And then, do know how many times it works? Almost everypony tries it, and it almost never works!"

"I don't think-" The reflection started, but was quickly cut off by the real spirit.

"I know! I'll just ask some friends for advice! But who?"

"How about Princess Cadance? She is the Princess of Love." The reflection knowingly suggested.

But Discord was all but deaf to his reflection now. "That's it! The Princesses! Celestia and Luna are sure to help me in my time of need!" With that, Discord snapped his fingers and vanished.

The reflection lingered in the mirror, and sighed, "I really need a new day job."
