Discord's Fanmare

Welcome to the Ponyville Maresquerade Ball!

Every 5 and a half months, a fancy ball is held at the Ponyville Ball House.

I was in a white tuxedo, a pink corsage pinned into it. I had gone stag, but I soon found Discord. He had gone stag too, since Fluttershy was with Big Mac.

I must note though, Discord looked quite snazzy in his blue tuxedo.

Discord snickered lightly as he watched Bulk Biceps and Big Mac argue over who was going share the next dance with Fluttershy.

"Stallions," I chuckled, sipping at my punch.

"Why did you go stag, Written? Didn't Caramel Cream ask you to go with him?"

"Yeah, but I turned him down. I just don't like to dance. And if I went with him, people would that he was a Stallion-Snuggler, because I don't like to wear dresses."

I paused to breathe.

"I would have come in this tuxedo. Several fillies have already asked me to dance, thinking I was a colt. But I turned them down politely."

Discord looked surprised.

"You can really talk a mouth full."

"Hey, I needed two breaths! Pinkie only needs one."

We both laughed at my joke.

(After the Ball)

Discord and I walked out together, me flying up close to his head.

"Wanna get a-"

I was cut off by a ear-splitting squeal.

My hooves slammed over my ears. I suddenly didn't hear any noise. I opened my eyes and saw a noise canceling bubble around my head.

I sighed and hugged Discord, he smiled and hugged me back.

"Now-"

Discord snapped, popping the bubble.

"What was that?"

Discord suddenly felt something latched around his waist. He looked down and saw a vine green unicorn mare with an orange and dark brown mane.

She was hugging Discord rather tightly around the waist. He walked backwards, phasing out of her grasp.

I caught her before she crash to the ground.

"Excuse me, but who are and why are hugging me?!"

The mare opened her robin's egg colored eyes and squealed. I landed on her tail, which kept her from running off.

"Answer the question, please."

"Oh! I'm Pumpernickel Pumpkin! And I'm a real big big BIG fan on your's!"

Discord was flattered, but creeped out more.

"Is that why you were squeezing him?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! I've never seen Discord in real life before! So I just had to give him the BIGGEST hug possible! I mean I've loved Discord all my life..."

Pumpernickel was still talking, but Discord and I weren't listening.

"Maybe we should go get that root beer I was talking about," I whispered.

"Good idea."

Discord snapped and suddenly we we're gone.

"...and when I finally saw you up close, I just squealed. Wouldn't you have...where'd ya go?"
