It Was A Misunderstandingby GarfieldThePonyChaptersWake-Up CallBest for Equestria?DecisionWhat Now?Stoned Perspective DreamsPlan and BattleUnitedCreator vs CreationQuestionWake-Up CallThe News It was a quiet evening down in Ponyville, and everypony was fast asleep except for two friends. Discord was walking Fluttershy to her cottage; they decided on having a picnic at night, so they could see the twinkling stars and the shimmering moon. "Thank you again Discord for the picnic, it was wonderful." "But of course anything for a friend." Friend, friend- this word bothered Fluttershy for some reason, but she didn't know why. As they got up to the door of the cottage, Discord opened the door for her. Fluttershy blushed at the sight of him being such a gentlepony. "Thank you Discord." "You're ever so welcome, sweet dear Fluttershy." Fluttershy felt sad to see him go as they said their good nights, and she wanted him to stay, but she didn't tell him because she knew he had to leave. When Discord left to his castle in the sky, Fluttershy went to her room to think why she felt to so sad and wondering why her heart was pounding fast. As she got into bed, she accidentally knocked over a picture frame. Picking it up, she noticed it was a picture of her and Discord at a picnic together, and her cheeks got bright red again- as well her heart pounded faster. Soon a thought came to mind. Do I have a crush on Discord?! She thought about it, and as she thought about all the times they spent with each other, she remembered that he was always kind around her- being so kind and gentle, yet acting so different around her friends. Remembering the time when he was supposed to capture Tirek, and he came to talk to them about the chest. When he appeared she smiled up at him, she always laughed at his antics, even when everyone was doubting him about capturing Tirek she told them to trust him. But when she found out he betrayed them, it broke her heart into pieces, but she soon forgave him for his mistakes. She kept wondering about this until she fell asleep. The thought followed her into her dreams as she dreamt of her and Discord at a picnic together talking with each other- but this event was different. Maybe it was because Discord looked more handsome to her in her dream, or maybe it was because he had a flowing mane in the wind- but whatever the reason why, he looked he wanted to ask her something. "Fluttershy..." "Yes Discord?" "I've been wondering... do you have a crush on me?" "WHAT?! I-I-I mean what makes you say that?" "Well, for one thing, you're blushing right now, and you are always happy when I'm around. You laugh at my antics, too- but please don't change the subject. Answer me this- do you have a crush on me? Because I think you have one on me as well as I do have one on you." "Wait- you have crush on me? But I'm not even pretty and interesting." "Sure you are- don't be modest, but still answer my question." "B-b-but I-I do I m-mean I uh..." "I guess it's a 'no' then." "WAIT! Discord, I didn't mea-" She couldn't finish, because of Discord- he looked different as he looked heart broken and disappeared not before taking away Fluttershy's wings. She soon began to fall to the ground. "DDDDDDDIIIIIIISSCCCCORRD HHHHHHEEEEELLLLPPPP!!!" She woke up as she fell off the bed and fell on top of Angel, who was asleep next to the bed, just cried from under her in panic. "Whew! It was only a bad dream, but it felt so real to me."She thought aloud, "Oh... what am I going to do about this?" Then it struck her- she got an idea to figure out if he had a crush on her in real life- not in dreams, but she had to do her morning routine first. She got up asked if Angel was ok, who gave her a slap on the face, and she went downstairs to feed the animals. As she did, she heard a knock at her door, and she answered. It was just her friend Rainbow Dash, looking tired and frustrated, as if she came here as fast she can. "Good morning Dashie! How are you?" "Morning Fluttershy- but I have some really bad news! We need you at the Twilight's castle right away!" "Oh dear, what is it that happened?" "There's cotton clouds raining chocolate milk appearing all around Ponyville and we think we know who's up to it!" Rainbow replied. "Oh no, you don't think it's Discord do you?!" "Of course I think it's Discord- who else would do it, the Easter bunny?" "It can't be Discord- he's fully reformed now, remember...?" "It doesn't seem like he is now! Come on, let's go Fluttershy!" "Ok, I'm coming- just wait a few minutes I have to feed the animals." "They can wait Fluttershy- come on!" "Fine, you're in charge Angel- when I'm gone please feed the animals." Angel just nodded at his owner then went back to bed. As they stepped out of the cottage Fluttershy saw the chaos all around her- pigs were flying, buffaloes doing an Irish jig, cats chasing dogs, and of course the chocolate rain. "I hope this is not Discord's doing ." "Fluttershy, why do you care about him so much- if you love him or something you can just tell me." "Of course not- he's just a friend." "Good, now come on let's go." But in Fluttershy's thoughts, she wished she would of said she did love him, but she was to afraid to say it. Oh, I hope he didn't do this... her mind whispered. Best for Equestria?A Win That Doesn't Feel Right When Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash arrived at Twilight's castle, they saw Twilight pacing in circles in front of the castle looking distressed with her mane still not brushed. Twilight soon smiled as soon as she saw them. "Oh good, you're both here now- come on, let's get inside before anything else bad happens." As they got to the throne room, Fluttershy noticed the rest for her friends were already there waiting for them, except for Pinkie who had brought in a cotton candy cloud drinking the chocolate milk coming from it in the corner. After they saw Fluttershy had arrived, they all took their seats; Twilight was the first to speak. "Good, now that everypony's here- NOW EXPLAIN TO ME FLUTTERSHY, WHY IS DISCORD CAUSING CHAOS WHEN HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FULLY REFORMED NOW?!" Fluttershy jumped from her seat from the sudden anger in Twilight's voice. "I-I don't know why he's causing chaos, he was normal last night, but it couldn't be him causing this; it could somepony else." "Who else in the wide world of Equestria would cause chaos other than Discord!?" "I-I-I don't know who, let's just talk to him first before we do anything harsh to him." "I agree with Fluttershy; let's talk to him before we do anything rash, he is still our friend after all." "I agree with Rarity." Rainbow Dash said, sitting up taller. "Oh, oh me three!" "I reckon I agree too." "Ok.. then since we all agreed on talking to him first, let's just activate our rainbow powers first just to be ready." (One transformation later into their ridiculous looking yet powerful forms which teleported them outside) "Alright, let's use our summoning spell to bring him here." They zapped a rainbow on a open spot, when the rainbow vanished there was Discord taking a shower... Fluttershy's cheeks got bright red again at the sight him taking a shower. "'And I'll fly and I'll fly until the'- Ohoo again, Twilight, you know I told you to give me a heads up before you summon me... but this seems a bit déjà vu-" "QUIET!- ahem... now, Discord, you know we told you specifically not to cause chaos when you're free... but can you get rid of this chaos before we have to turn you back to stone?" "What chaos? I was in my castle this whole time taking that relaxing shower." "Are you that blind Discord? Just look around you and tell us you didn't just notice this!?" "Well Miss Dash, by whatever do you mea...." As Discord turned around, he was shocked to see the chaos that he was so oblivious to and what was his friends were blaming him for. "I-I didn't cause this chaos, but I do like whoever did it- cats chasing dogs why didn't I ever think of that?" "Well if you didn't cause this then help us take it away." "I'll try too," Discord snapped his fingers, "Hmm... seems like this magic is enchanted." "Great! Now it's 'enchanted' magic- I'm beginning to think that you're tricking us." SNAP "Why did you just snap your claws?" "I'm not sure." SNAP "You just did again!" "I don't mean to, its just that I can't control it... something's making me do it." "Uh...Twilight" "Not now Rainbow, I'm scolding." "Twilight this is important." "Not now Rainbow this is more important." "Twilight please." "Uhh, fine what is it" "Do you smell smoke?" "As a matter of a fact I do Rainbow, but where is it coming from...." She turned around to see that Canterlot was on fire and crys have filled the air, as they could hear screams of ponies, which made the mane 6 angered even more, Fluttershy was so confused about what was going on, wondering why her love was being so cruel and evil. "Please Discord stop right now, this isn't funny...this isn't you." Discord was shocked at the words that Fluttershy just said as if he'd broken her heart again, even through he liked chaos he had never used it in this kind of way, he never meant harm to anypony, especially his dear Fluttershy.... "But dear Fluttershy I'm not doing this" "Then tell us who is... please". "I just don't know." Then SNAP come from Discord again and in a flash Twlight's castle was gone and Twilight just had a enough of it she just snapped. "DISCORD, YOU BETTER STOP THIS CHAOS FROM HAPPENING AND BRING BACK MY CASTLE OR I SWEAR AND I MEAN SWEAR WE WILL TURN YOU BACK TO STONE!" "Then a thought came to Discord's mind- maybe I'm losing control over myself, he thought, there's only one thing to do... "Do it...." "What?" "Turn me into stone now". "NO Discord!, I don't want you to be stone again!"said Fluttershy already crying. "It's already too late, dear Fluttershy... I'm losing control and made my decision and I'm gonna do it...it's for the best..." "B-b-but..." "No but's just do it." As the mane 6 got ready to shoot, but Discord had to say one last sentence to Fluttershy before he had to go. "I would like to say one last sentence before I go..." "Go ahead, but make it quick." "Fluttershy I just wanted to tell you this before I go....Fluttershy.... I-I-I have a cru- BALZAA It was too late to hear what he said since he was cut off and became his stone prison once again, he looked just hunched over, looking defeated and sad, but with an added detail there was a tear... When it all done the mane 6 turn back into they're old forms, but to their surprised the chaos didn't disappeared it was still there and Canterlot was still in fire and Twilight's castle was still gone! "Wait a minute...WHY IS THE CHAOS STILL HERE!, it should of been gone when Discord was turned to stone, what did he do to it." "Wait, doesn't that mean Discord wasn't behind this after all?" "I suppose I guess, if it wasn't Discord then who was it..." "I don't know who, but I'll be over there drinking the chocolate milk, if you need me." "Oh Discord I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry I should of belived you." said Fluttershy who was mourning over his statue crying. "So...Twilight what now". "I don't know, I don't know...." The mane 6, feeling guilty about turning their friend to back to stone and they have felt sorry for him because they all thought it was him, but actually it was someone else, but they all didn't notice one thing that someone was watching atop a cotton candy cloud smiling grimly at them. "Great phase 1 of my plan is complete......." DecisionWhat now? 60 minutes had past after our heroines had turned they beloved ally to stone, news spread like wildfire that Discord didn't cause this and some-pony else caused it, all ponies were to remain in they're underground bunkers due to the chaos of course. But the mane 6 (who were in Twilight's bunker that was all that was left from her castle) won't stand for it especially Rainbow Dash- "We can't just stand here and do nothing, we faced bigger threats before, we can't just give up."argued Rainbow Dash "Well all those times before we had the elements to help us and the Rainbow Power too... since I don't have my castle and we can only activate in there...I just wished we should of listened to Discord...."said Twilight So y'all's notice Fluttershy's been acting a bit off lately since we turned Discord to stone right."whispered Applejack All heads turned to Fluttershy who's was still comforting Discord's statue in the corner and making sure no broken parts anywhere and murmuring in her small voice. "Don't worry Discord, I'm here now and I'm never ever leaving your side, because l love you."whispered Fluttershy The mane 5 gasped from Fluttershy's words she had said a bit loud, then Rarity faced beamed like the shiniest of gems. "It seems like our Fluttershy is in love!"squealed Rarity "WHAT...n-n-no it isn't like that."stammered Fluttershy who heard the squeal from Rarity from where she was. "Then why your blushing then, huh?"teased Twilight "You do seem to be mighty protective of him now, plus your hugging his statue and your dreamily looking at him."said Applejack with a smug smile To Fluttershy's surprise, she was hugging his statue, tightly even and blushing as red as Applejack's cutie mark. "W-w-well I-I-I."stammered Fluttershy "Don't worry about it dear Fluttershy, but mind me asking does he know you like him?"said Rarity "Wait..., you girls aren't mad that I'm in love with Discord?"asked Fluttershy It's Ok Flutters, we're happy for you anyway that you found a special somepony even if it is Discord, we're happy when you are...when he gets out of stone and if he even hurts you, I'll beat him till a pulp."said Rainbow Dash in a calm yet threating way. "TWILIGHT!" The yell came from Spike who was running up to them out of breath. "Spike?, where have you been? I haven't seen you since yesterday." "You don't remember Twi, I said I'll be at Sweet Apple Acres to play hoofball with Big Mac, but that's in the past right now, I have a letter from Canterlot for you, also where's the castle?" "It's a long story, but read the letter to us."gestured Twilight. "Alrighty then...."said spike Dear, Princess Twilight Sparkle, We are writing you this letter to tell that Canterlot is OK and only half of it got burned we do have some bad news....the princesses, well they are in an unusual state right now, it's too barbaric to explain right now. But please come to Canterlot immediately and we will explain everything, just get over here as quickly as you can. Sincerely Royal Guard #1 "Unusual state...are they like sick?"asked Rainbow Dash "I don't know, but we have to get over there as fast as we can."said Twilight "And how do you suppose we do that, if you didn't know that the train is made from cheese and crackers!"yelled Rarity "Why need a train, when we got magic, Twilight can just teleport us over there."said Pinkie Pie "Oh...yeah I forgot, I can do that."said Twilight as her horn started to glow magenta. *Canterlot* Our heroines with Discord's statue teleported to Canterlot or to the part that was burned, it was indeed a sad site to see; houses lay in ruin, ponies now homeless, foals crying, the mane 6 hurried through the unforgettable site not looking back, to Canterlot castle where some guards were waiting for them. "Ah, you came come here fast, now come on they're in the garden."said Royal Guard #1 The mane 6 followed the guards to the garden where the princess were, when they got there they only saw two statues that looked like them. "So...they have statues of them now, good for them...but really where are they?"asked Twilight "They're right here, they're the statues, they have been turn to stone as well....." "WHAT!"said the mane 6 in unison. "Turned to to stone, I know it sounds unreal, but it's the truth."said Royal Guard #4 "This is bad, this is soo bad,first my castle is gone, then Discord wasn't behind and now he's in stone and now the princesses are in stone too, oh how can it possibly get worse!"said Twilight "Princess Twilight, news from the Crystal Empire, Princess Cadence and Shining Armor have been turned to stone and the crystal ponies are in panic!"said a guard who came running in. "Oh, come on!" "Is this really the end for us Twi, did Equestria fall?"asked a worried Spike "No...No we can't give up and I'm not gonna let us fail we have to win this!"said Twilight in a determined voice "Then how Twi?, we don't know who's doing this and why."ask Rainbow Dash How about you mares get a....good days sleep, you need to rest up before you plan out who's doing this."said Royal Guard #53 "And we will keep a close eye on everypony and we'll triple the defenses, we will protect you at every cost, we even got a guard from the Crystal Empire helping. "You do, who is it!...I-I mean good, now come on girls lets go get some sleep!"said Twilight who was blushing from embarrassness As the mane 6 left the garden, they didn't notice the cotton candy cloud hovering above them, the same voice was heard from it and it said- "I'd love to see you try to stop me and my chaos, so see you later foolish ponies, I have more chaos to bring upon you." Then it vanished..... What Now?Another Friend's Perspective In the world of darkness and blankness named Limbo, Discord was there floating around asleep. Ah waa what! where am I?, did I eat too much cotton candy again? Then all the memories came flying back to him from what happened that fateful day, when he was turned to stone for the third time and lost his chance for the love of his life. Oh yeah...I'm in Limbo once again, it's just me and my thoughts again. Oh how I wished, that I could of finished my sentence before I was turned to stone. I really do love Fluttershy, but she'll never love me for what I did to her, I'm now a monster in her eyes. Maybe I shouldn't of asked her that question during that dream I made for her, she seemed like she has a crush on me with all that blushing and stammering around me, maybe it was a good idea turning me back to stone, at least I can still hear what ponies are saying. They're probably celebrating right now, happy that I'm gone now. "I can't believe it wasn't Discord, who didn't cause...We should have believed him...I should of believed him."A voice echoed Who said that?! "It's all our fault for not believing him Fluttershy, but please we need to get inside the bunker before anymore chaos happens!" Oh, I'm just hearing those ponies, seem like I didn't cause this after all, hey wait a minute....I let myself be turned to stone for nothing! "I'm not going without Discord's Statue." Oh, it's only Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy arguing about me. "Then bring him down then, let's just go!" There was a long dead silence for a little while untill 15 minutes later he heard Fluttershy talk. "Don't worry Discord, I'm here now and I'm never ever leaving your side, because l love you." Wait....what! She loves me too that's amazing!, but wait that's impossible due to me being different species, but with me anything is possible, so I don't care, I wonder if she remembers me telling her about being turned to stone that I can still her what ponies say, just imagine her face right now if I told her I heard her, priceless it would be. "It seems like our Fluttershy is in love!" Ow! Does that pony have to yell so loudly, even in stone it's loud. "WHAT...n-n-no it isn't like that." It doesn't seem like that to me. "Then why your blushing then, huh?" "You do seem to be mighty protective of him now, plus your hugging his statue and your dreamily looking at him." Oh ho is she doing that now, is she. I wish I can see and feel that. her warm hug and her enchanting teal-eyed stare are all I need right now. "Don't worry about it dear Fluttershy, but mind me asking does he know you like him?" Well, now I do know! "Wait...you girls aren't mad that I'm in love with Discord?" Those ponies aren't mad that I'm in love with Fluttershy? "It's Ok Flutters, we're happy for you anyway that you found a special somepony even if it is Discord, we're happy when you are...when he gets out of stone and if he even hurts you, I'll beat him till a pulp." I'd like to see you try and beat me Ms. Dash, you'll surely fail miserably , but enough chit-chat, let's eavesdrop some more, now where were we. "Come to Canterlot immediately and we will explain everything, just get over here as quickly as you can." Sincerely Royal Guard #1 "Unusual state...are they like sick?" "I don't know, but we have to get over there as fast as we can." "And how do you suppose we do that, if you didn't know that the train is made from cheese and crackers!" The train is made from cheese and crackers? Why is this chaos bringer so much better then me and I mean me, The Lord of Chaos is basically now an amateur to who's doing this!....wait- why do I hear crying...Did somepony make Fluttershy cry!? "So...they have statues of them now, good for them...but really where are they?" "They're right here, they're the statues, they have been turn to stone as well....." "WHAT!" WHAT! "Turned to to stone, I know it sounds unreal, but it's the truth." "This is bad, this is so bad, first my castle is gone, then Discord wasn't behind and now he's in stone and now the princesses are in stone too, oh how can it possibly get worse!" She just jinxed herself, I just know it and Tia and Lulu are in stone too, that's hilarious! Now they know I felt all those years, I wonder where are they? *Meanwhile....* Luna! Are you there? I seem to be in a dark place, are we in the world they call Limbo?! Yes Sister, I'm here and yes we're in Limbo...also I hate this place more than the moon... *Back to Discord's point of view* "Princess Twilight, news from the Crystal Empire, Princess Cadence and Shining Armor have been turned to stone and the crystal ponies are in panic!" Yeeup totally jinxed it. "Then how Twi?, we don't know who's doing this and why." How about you mares get a....good days sleep, you need to rest up before you plan out who's doing this." "And we will keep a close eye on everypony and we'll triple the defenses, we will protect you at every cost, we even got a guard from the Crystal Empire helping. "You do, who is it!...I-I mean good, now come on girls lets go get some sleep!" Somepony's got a crush and they just chose one guard from the Crystal Empire, pretty useless don't you think and I hope somepony brings me inside because I don't want to get bird pooped on for being in stone again.. There's some more silence for a few minutes until he heard another voice, a dark evil voice- "I'd love to see you try to stop me and my chaos, so see you later foolish ponies, I have more chaos to bring upon you." That voice....I recognized before but that's impossible, she should of been gone when I was first turned to stone! But now she's becoming the new Lord of Chaos! I have to stop her, but how I'm stuck in stone and so are the princesses...I know I just have to get into Fluttershy's dream and tell her what's going on! From today she'll probably have a dream, it will probably be a nightmare anyway, I just have to use all my strength just for Fluttershy... Oh yeah, I forgot to bring you inside Discord! Yea that's my girl, I knew she wasn't gonna let me stay outside. Stoned Perspective Dreams It was still the day time, but the mane 6 were tired from their adventure they had today, they were in their bedrooms with 5 guards to each door making sure nopony gets in or out. "Good night girls!"yelled Twilight from her room "Good night Twilight!"they said in unison Each one of them already snug in bed asleep, but in Fluttershy's room, she was still getting ready for bed, she was still pushing Discord's statue next to her bed. Before she got into bed- she gave Discord's statue a hug good night. "Good night Discord." Good night, sweet Fluttershy...I still wish you could hear me. When Fluttershy fell asleep, she dreamt of what had happened that day, but some things were different- such as when they summoned Discord, he wasn't in the shower, he's was smiling grimly at them- like he was expecting them to summon him and he summoned up his old throne. "Hello old friends, nice to see you- do you like what I've done with the place? it really suits me."said Discord with a smirk on his face "Discord, you know we told you specifically not to cause chaos when your free, but can you get rid of this chaos before we have to turn you back to stone again?"asked Twilight "I'm afraid I can't do that princess."said Discord "Why not? Do you want to be stone again?"said Twilight eagerly "Of course not, but do you want to be turned to stone?"said Discord in a grim way "I was turned to stone once, but I won't be turned to stone again, but tell us why are you doing this?"asked Twilight "I'm doing this because I can't hold back my chaos anymore! I want to be free and make my chaos spread all across Equestria!" "We cannot let that happen Discord- you know that already." "So be it then." In a snap Discord conjured up Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, who albeit didn't know what was going had their wings and horns taken away and was levitating above a container of boiling chocolate milk. "What's going on? One moment I'm in the Royal Library and now I'm above a container of...chocolate milk?"said Celestia "Discord! What do you think your doing?"said Fluttershy "I'm getting rid of the princesses, so they can't be in my way." "Let them go Discord or else"said an angered Twilight "Oh alright, but you chose the wrong words." Always taking stuff to heart, Discord dropped the princesses into the chocolate milk and it only took a matter of a few mintues till they didn't hear their crys for help. "Discord! I can't believe this, why are you doing this?"asked a confused Fluttershy "I'm taking over Equestria again and you'll be the third to disappear from this place!" "NO!" ENOUGH All around Fluttershy everything disappeared and there was a bright light in front of her. "Princess Luna? Is that you?"said Fluttershy shielding her eyes from the light "No, it's me Discord, but you can call me Prince Discord- if you want." "Discord! Hey....wait I thought your in stone and does Princess Luna know your doing her job?" "I am in stone, but I'm using all my strength for you to talk to you from there and Lulu doesn't even know I'm doing this." *Meanwhile* Why do I get the feeling that I'm being replaced in my job. Don't ask me. *Back* "Any who, I came to tell you who is causing the chaos and to finish my sentence I was going to say." "Finish what you were going to tell me first then tell me who's doing this."said Fluttershy "Oh, OK...I was going to tell you that I have a crush on you but now I think I l-I-love you."said Discord not knowing Fluttershy was going to ask that first. Fluttershy was shocked to hear those words coming from his mouth and he was even stammering too! "And I know this seems a bit rushed and I know you love me too, since I heard you say it, when you were in Twilight's bunker-" "Wait...you can still hear stuff when your in stone!" "Yes, but I have to hurry it up still since I'm losing my strength and soon will be going back to Limbo."said Discord looking down at his watch. "Ok, now who is causing the chaos?" "It's an old creation of mine, her name is Eris, a female version of me. I made her when I was feeling lonely during my 1st rein, but she disappeared the next day, after that I never saw her since then, now she's back and wanting to take over Equestria." "Ok, how do we defeat her?" "I don't know, just make a plan to defeat her, I have to go now." "WAIT!- I mean, wait can you give me something before you go?" "What is that?" "Canyoukissme"said Fluttershy now blushing a deep red "What was that again? And slower this time."said Discord wanting to know if he heard her right "Can you kiss me?"said Fluttershy again with her blush turning more red "Oh, I-I'm sorry, I really wish I can do that, but I'm not fully here right now...I'm just a spirit right now."said Discord apologizing with a bit of red at his cheeks now "Oh ok, sorry I asked bye Discord..." "Bye, sweet Fluttershy." When Fluttershy woke up, she both had happiness and sadness in her mind, but she did have new information about who's doing this, and her name was Eris and was the female counterpart to Discord. She had to go tell the others, just before she left her room, she turned back at Discord's statue and said- "Thank you Discord." And then left her room towards the dining hall.

Wake-Up CallThe News It was a quiet evening down in Ponyville, and everypony was fast asleep except for two friends. Discord was walking Fluttershy to her cottage; they decided on having a picnic at night, so they could see the twinkling stars and the shimmering moon. "Thank you again Discord for the picnic, it was wonderful." "But of course anything for a friend." Friend, friend- this word bothered Fluttershy for some reason, but she didn't know why. As they got up to the door of the cottage, Discord opened the door for her. Fluttershy blushed at the sight of him being such a gentlepony. "Thank you Discord." "You're ever so welcome, sweet dear Fluttershy." Fluttershy felt sad to see him go as they said their good nights, and she wanted him to stay, but she didn't tell him because she knew he had to leave. When Discord left to his castle in the sky, Fluttershy went to her room to think why she felt to so sad and wondering why her heart was pounding fast. As she got into bed, she accidentally knocked over a picture frame. Picking it up, she noticed it was a picture of her and Discord at a picnic together, and her cheeks got bright red again- as well her heart pounded faster. Soon a thought came to mind. Do I have a crush on Discord?! She thought about it, and as she thought about all the times they spent with each other, she remembered that he was always kind around her- being so kind and gentle, yet acting so different around her friends. Remembering the time when he was supposed to capture Tirek, and he came to talk to them about the chest. When he appeared she smiled up at him, she always laughed at his antics, even when everyone was doubting him about capturing Tirek she told them to trust him. But when she found out he betrayed them, it broke her heart into pieces, but she soon forgave him for his mistakes. She kept wondering about this until she fell asleep. The thought followed her into her dreams as she dreamt of her and Discord at a picnic together talking with each other- but this event was different. Maybe it was because Discord looked more handsome to her in her dream, or maybe it was because he had a flowing mane in the wind- but whatever the reason why, he looked he wanted to ask her something. "Fluttershy..." "Yes Discord?" "I've been wondering... do you have a crush on me?" "WHAT?! I-I-I mean what makes you say that?" "Well, for one thing, you're blushing right now, and you are always happy when I'm around. You laugh at my antics, too- but please don't change the subject. Answer me this- do you have a crush on me? Because I think you have one on me as well as I do have one on you." "Wait- you have crush on me? But I'm not even pretty and interesting." "Sure you are- don't be modest, but still answer my question." "B-b-but I-I do I m-mean I uh..." "I guess it's a 'no' then." "WAIT! Discord, I didn't mea-" She couldn't finish, because of Discord- he looked different as he looked heart broken and disappeared not before taking away Fluttershy's wings. She soon began to fall to the ground. "DDDDDDDIIIIIIISSCCCCORRD HHHHHHEEEEELLLLPPPP!!!" She woke up as she fell off the bed and fell on top of Angel, who was asleep next to the bed, just cried from under her in panic. "Whew! It was only a bad dream, but it felt so real to me."She thought aloud, "Oh... what am I going to do about this?" Then it struck her- she got an idea to figure out if he had a crush on her in real life- not in dreams, but she had to do her morning routine first. She got up asked if Angel was ok, who gave her a slap on the face, and she went downstairs to feed the animals. As she did, she heard a knock at her door, and she answered. It was just her friend Rainbow Dash, looking tired and frustrated, as if she came here as fast she can. "Good morning Dashie! How are you?" "Morning Fluttershy- but I have some really bad news! We need you at the Twilight's castle right away!" "Oh dear, what is it that happened?" "There's cotton clouds raining chocolate milk appearing all around Ponyville and we think we know who's up to it!" Rainbow replied. "Oh no, you don't think it's Discord do you?!" "Of course I think it's Discord- who else would do it, the Easter bunny?" "It can't be Discord- he's fully reformed now, remember...?" "It doesn't seem like he is now! Come on, let's go Fluttershy!" "Ok, I'm coming- just wait a few minutes I have to feed the animals." "They can wait Fluttershy- come on!" "Fine, you're in charge Angel- when I'm gone please feed the animals." Angel just nodded at his owner then went back to bed. As they stepped out of the cottage Fluttershy saw the chaos all around her- pigs were flying, buffaloes doing an Irish jig, cats chasing dogs, and of course the chocolate rain. "I hope this is not Discord's doing ." "Fluttershy, why do you care about him so much- if you love him or something you can just tell me." "Of course not- he's just a friend." "Good, now come on let's go." But in Fluttershy's thoughts, she wished she would of said she did love him, but she was to afraid to say it. Oh, I hope he didn't do this... her mind whispered.
Best for Equestria?A Win That Doesn't Feel Right When Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash arrived at Twilight's castle, they saw Twilight pacing in circles in front of the castle looking distressed with her mane still not brushed. Twilight soon smiled as soon as she saw them. "Oh good, you're both here now- come on, let's get inside before anything else bad happens." As they got to the throne room, Fluttershy noticed the rest for her friends were already there waiting for them, except for Pinkie who had brought in a cotton candy cloud drinking the chocolate milk coming from it in the corner. After they saw Fluttershy had arrived, they all took their seats; Twilight was the first to speak. "Good, now that everypony's here- NOW EXPLAIN TO ME FLUTTERSHY, WHY IS DISCORD CAUSING CHAOS WHEN HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FULLY REFORMED NOW?!" Fluttershy jumped from her seat from the sudden anger in Twilight's voice. "I-I don't know why he's causing chaos, he was normal last night, but it couldn't be him causing this; it could somepony else." "Who else in the wide world of Equestria would cause chaos other than Discord!?" "I-I-I don't know who, let's just talk to him first before we do anything harsh to him." "I agree with Fluttershy; let's talk to him before we do anything rash, he is still our friend after all." "I agree with Rarity." Rainbow Dash said, sitting up taller. "Oh, oh me three!" "I reckon I agree too." "Ok.. then since we all agreed on talking to him first, let's just activate our rainbow powers first just to be ready." (One transformation later into their ridiculous looking yet powerful forms which teleported them outside) "Alright, let's use our summoning spell to bring him here." They zapped a rainbow on a open spot, when the rainbow vanished there was Discord taking a shower... Fluttershy's cheeks got bright red again at the sight him taking a shower. "'And I'll fly and I'll fly until the'- Ohoo again, Twilight, you know I told you to give me a heads up before you summon me... but this seems a bit déjà vu-" "QUIET!- ahem... now, Discord, you know we told you specifically not to cause chaos when you're free... but can you get rid of this chaos before we have to turn you back to stone?" "What chaos? I was in my castle this whole time taking that relaxing shower." "Are you that blind Discord? Just look around you and tell us you didn't just notice this!?" "Well Miss Dash, by whatever do you mea...." As Discord turned around, he was shocked to see the chaos that he was so oblivious to and what was his friends were blaming him for. "I-I didn't cause this chaos, but I do like whoever did it- cats chasing dogs why didn't I ever think of that?" "Well if you didn't cause this then help us take it away." "I'll try too," Discord snapped his fingers, "Hmm... seems like this magic is enchanted." "Great! Now it's 'enchanted' magic- I'm beginning to think that you're tricking us." SNAP "Why did you just snap your claws?" "I'm not sure." SNAP "You just did again!" "I don't mean to, its just that I can't control it... something's making me do it." "Uh...Twilight" "Not now Rainbow, I'm scolding." "Twilight this is important." "Not now Rainbow this is more important." "Twilight please." "Uhh, fine what is it" "Do you smell smoke?" "As a matter of a fact I do Rainbow, but where is it coming from...." She turned around to see that Canterlot was on fire and crys have filled the air, as they could hear screams of ponies, which made the mane 6 angered even more, Fluttershy was so confused about what was going on, wondering why her love was being so cruel and evil. "Please Discord stop right now, this isn't funny...this isn't you." Discord was shocked at the words that Fluttershy just said as if he'd broken her heart again, even through he liked chaos he had never used it in this kind of way, he never meant harm to anypony, especially his dear Fluttershy.... "But dear Fluttershy I'm not doing this" "Then tell us who is... please". "I just don't know." Then SNAP come from Discord again and in a flash Twlight's castle was gone and Twilight just had a enough of it she just snapped. "DISCORD, YOU BETTER STOP THIS CHAOS FROM HAPPENING AND BRING BACK MY CASTLE OR I SWEAR AND I MEAN SWEAR WE WILL TURN YOU BACK TO STONE!" "Then a thought came to Discord's mind- maybe I'm losing control over myself, he thought, there's only one thing to do... "Do it...." "What?" "Turn me into stone now". "NO Discord!, I don't want you to be stone again!"said Fluttershy already crying. "It's already too late, dear Fluttershy... I'm losing control and made my decision and I'm gonna do it...it's for the best..." "B-b-but..." "No but's just do it." As the mane 6 got ready to shoot, but Discord had to say one last sentence to Fluttershy before he had to go. "I would like to say one last sentence before I go..." "Go ahead, but make it quick." "Fluttershy I just wanted to tell you this before I go....Fluttershy.... I-I-I have a cru- BALZAA It was too late to hear what he said since he was cut off and became his stone prison once again, he looked just hunched over, looking defeated and sad, but with an added detail there was a tear... When it all done the mane 6 turn back into they're old forms, but to their surprised the chaos didn't disappeared it was still there and Canterlot was still in fire and Twilight's castle was still gone! "Wait a minute...WHY IS THE CHAOS STILL HERE!, it should of been gone when Discord was turned to stone, what did he do to it." "Wait, doesn't that mean Discord wasn't behind this after all?" "I suppose I guess, if it wasn't Discord then who was it..." "I don't know who, but I'll be over there drinking the chocolate milk, if you need me." "Oh Discord I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry I should of belived you." said Fluttershy who was mourning over his statue crying. "So...Twilight what now". "I don't know, I don't know...." The mane 6, feeling guilty about turning their friend to back to stone and they have felt sorry for him because they all thought it was him, but actually it was someone else, but they all didn't notice one thing that someone was watching atop a cotton candy cloud smiling grimly at them. "Great phase 1 of my plan is complete......."
DecisionWhat now? 60 minutes had past after our heroines had turned they beloved ally to stone, news spread like wildfire that Discord didn't cause this and some-pony else caused it, all ponies were to remain in they're underground bunkers due to the chaos of course. But the mane 6 (who were in Twilight's bunker that was all that was left from her castle) won't stand for it especially Rainbow Dash- "We can't just stand here and do nothing, we faced bigger threats before, we can't just give up."argued Rainbow Dash "Well all those times before we had the elements to help us and the Rainbow Power too... since I don't have my castle and we can only activate in there...I just wished we should of listened to Discord...."said Twilight So y'all's notice Fluttershy's been acting a bit off lately since we turned Discord to stone right."whispered Applejack All heads turned to Fluttershy who's was still comforting Discord's statue in the corner and making sure no broken parts anywhere and murmuring in her small voice. "Don't worry Discord, I'm here now and I'm never ever leaving your side, because l love you."whispered Fluttershy The mane 5 gasped from Fluttershy's words she had said a bit loud, then Rarity faced beamed like the shiniest of gems. "It seems like our Fluttershy is in love!"squealed Rarity "WHAT...n-n-no it isn't like that."stammered Fluttershy who heard the squeal from Rarity from where she was. "Then why your blushing then, huh?"teased Twilight "You do seem to be mighty protective of him now, plus your hugging his statue and your dreamily looking at him."said Applejack with a smug smile To Fluttershy's surprise, she was hugging his statue, tightly even and blushing as red as Applejack's cutie mark. "W-w-well I-I-I."stammered Fluttershy "Don't worry about it dear Fluttershy, but mind me asking does he know you like him?"said Rarity "Wait..., you girls aren't mad that I'm in love with Discord?"asked Fluttershy It's Ok Flutters, we're happy for you anyway that you found a special somepony even if it is Discord, we're happy when you are...when he gets out of stone and if he even hurts you, I'll beat him till a pulp."said Rainbow Dash in a calm yet threating way. "TWILIGHT!" The yell came from Spike who was running up to them out of breath. "Spike?, where have you been? I haven't seen you since yesterday." "You don't remember Twi, I said I'll be at Sweet Apple Acres to play hoofball with Big Mac, but that's in the past right now, I have a letter from Canterlot for you, also where's the castle?" "It's a long story, but read the letter to us."gestured Twilight. "Alrighty then...."said spike Dear, Princess Twilight Sparkle, We are writing you this letter to tell that Canterlot is OK and only half of it got burned we do have some bad news....the princesses, well they are in an unusual state right now, it's too barbaric to explain right now. But please come to Canterlot immediately and we will explain everything, just get over here as quickly as you can. Sincerely Royal Guard #1 "Unusual state...are they like sick?"asked Rainbow Dash "I don't know, but we have to get over there as fast as we can."said Twilight "And how do you suppose we do that, if you didn't know that the train is made from cheese and crackers!"yelled Rarity "Why need a train, when we got magic, Twilight can just teleport us over there."said Pinkie Pie "Oh...yeah I forgot, I can do that."said Twilight as her horn started to glow magenta. *Canterlot* Our heroines with Discord's statue teleported to Canterlot or to the part that was burned, it was indeed a sad site to see; houses lay in ruin, ponies now homeless, foals crying, the mane 6 hurried through the unforgettable site not looking back, to Canterlot castle where some guards were waiting for them. "Ah, you came come here fast, now come on they're in the garden."said Royal Guard #1 The mane 6 followed the guards to the garden where the princess were, when they got there they only saw two statues that looked like them. "So...they have statues of them now, good for them...but really where are they?"asked Twilight "They're right here, they're the statues, they have been turn to stone as well....." "WHAT!"said the mane 6 in unison. "Turned to to stone, I know it sounds unreal, but it's the truth."said Royal Guard #4 "This is bad, this is soo bad,first my castle is gone, then Discord wasn't behind and now he's in stone and now the princesses are in stone too, oh how can it possibly get worse!"said Twilight "Princess Twilight, news from the Crystal Empire, Princess Cadence and Shining Armor have been turned to stone and the crystal ponies are in panic!"said a guard who came running in. "Oh, come on!" "Is this really the end for us Twi, did Equestria fall?"asked a worried Spike "No...No we can't give up and I'm not gonna let us fail we have to win this!"said Twilight in a determined voice "Then how Twi?, we don't know who's doing this and why."ask Rainbow Dash How about you mares get a....good days sleep, you need to rest up before you plan out who's doing this."said Royal Guard #53 "And we will keep a close eye on everypony and we'll triple the defenses, we will protect you at every cost, we even got a guard from the Crystal Empire helping. "You do, who is it!...I-I mean good, now come on girls lets go get some sleep!"said Twilight who was blushing from embarrassness As the mane 6 left the garden, they didn't notice the cotton candy cloud hovering above them, the same voice was heard from it and it said- "I'd love to see you try to stop me and my chaos, so see you later foolish ponies, I have more chaos to bring upon you." Then it vanished.....
What Now?Another Friend's Perspective In the world of darkness and blankness named Limbo, Discord was there floating around asleep. Ah waa what! where am I?, did I eat too much cotton candy again? Then all the memories came flying back to him from what happened that fateful day, when he was turned to stone for the third time and lost his chance for the love of his life. Oh yeah...I'm in Limbo once again, it's just me and my thoughts again. Oh how I wished, that I could of finished my sentence before I was turned to stone. I really do love Fluttershy, but she'll never love me for what I did to her, I'm now a monster in her eyes. Maybe I shouldn't of asked her that question during that dream I made for her, she seemed like she has a crush on me with all that blushing and stammering around me, maybe it was a good idea turning me back to stone, at least I can still hear what ponies are saying. They're probably celebrating right now, happy that I'm gone now. "I can't believe it wasn't Discord, who didn't cause...We should have believed him...I should of believed him."A voice echoed Who said that?! "It's all our fault for not believing him Fluttershy, but please we need to get inside the bunker before anymore chaos happens!" Oh, I'm just hearing those ponies, seem like I didn't cause this after all, hey wait a minute....I let myself be turned to stone for nothing! "I'm not going without Discord's Statue." Oh, it's only Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy arguing about me. "Then bring him down then, let's just go!" There was a long dead silence for a little while untill 15 minutes later he heard Fluttershy talk. "Don't worry Discord, I'm here now and I'm never ever leaving your side, because l love you." Wait....what! She loves me too that's amazing!, but wait that's impossible due to me being different species, but with me anything is possible, so I don't care, I wonder if she remembers me telling her about being turned to stone that I can still her what ponies say, just imagine her face right now if I told her I heard her, priceless it would be. "It seems like our Fluttershy is in love!" Ow! Does that pony have to yell so loudly, even in stone it's loud. "WHAT...n-n-no it isn't like that." It doesn't seem like that to me. "Then why your blushing then, huh?" "You do seem to be mighty protective of him now, plus your hugging his statue and your dreamily looking at him." Oh ho is she doing that now, is she. I wish I can see and feel that. her warm hug and her enchanting teal-eyed stare are all I need right now. "Don't worry about it dear Fluttershy, but mind me asking does he know you like him?" Well, now I do know! "Wait...you girls aren't mad that I'm in love with Discord?" Those ponies aren't mad that I'm in love with Fluttershy? "It's Ok Flutters, we're happy for you anyway that you found a special somepony even if it is Discord, we're happy when you are...when he gets out of stone and if he even hurts you, I'll beat him till a pulp." I'd like to see you try and beat me Ms. Dash, you'll surely fail miserably , but enough chit-chat, let's eavesdrop some more, now where were we. "Come to Canterlot immediately and we will explain everything, just get over here as quickly as you can." Sincerely Royal Guard #1 "Unusual state...are they like sick?" "I don't know, but we have to get over there as fast as we can." "And how do you suppose we do that, if you didn't know that the train is made from cheese and crackers!" The train is made from cheese and crackers? Why is this chaos bringer so much better then me and I mean me, The Lord of Chaos is basically now an amateur to who's doing this!....wait- why do I hear crying...Did somepony make Fluttershy cry!? "So...they have statues of them now, good for them...but really where are they?" "They're right here, they're the statues, they have been turn to stone as well....." "WHAT!" WHAT! "Turned to to stone, I know it sounds unreal, but it's the truth." "This is bad, this is so bad, first my castle is gone, then Discord wasn't behind and now he's in stone and now the princesses are in stone too, oh how can it possibly get worse!" She just jinxed herself, I just know it and Tia and Lulu are in stone too, that's hilarious! Now they know I felt all those years, I wonder where are they? *Meanwhile....* Luna! Are you there? I seem to be in a dark place, are we in the world they call Limbo?! Yes Sister, I'm here and yes we're in Limbo...also I hate this place more than the moon... *Back to Discord's point of view* "Princess Twilight, news from the Crystal Empire, Princess Cadence and Shining Armor have been turned to stone and the crystal ponies are in panic!" Yeeup totally jinxed it. "Then how Twi?, we don't know who's doing this and why." How about you mares get a....good days sleep, you need to rest up before you plan out who's doing this." "And we will keep a close eye on everypony and we'll triple the defenses, we will protect you at every cost, we even got a guard from the Crystal Empire helping. "You do, who is it!...I-I mean good, now come on girls lets go get some sleep!" Somepony's got a crush and they just chose one guard from the Crystal Empire, pretty useless don't you think and I hope somepony brings me inside because I don't want to get bird pooped on for being in stone again.. There's some more silence for a few minutes until he heard another voice, a dark evil voice- "I'd love to see you try to stop me and my chaos, so see you later foolish ponies, I have more chaos to bring upon you." That voice....I recognized before but that's impossible, she should of been gone when I was first turned to stone! But now she's becoming the new Lord of Chaos! I have to stop her, but how I'm stuck in stone and so are the princesses...I know I just have to get into Fluttershy's dream and tell her what's going on! From today she'll probably have a dream, it will probably be a nightmare anyway, I just have to use all my strength just for Fluttershy... Oh yeah, I forgot to bring you inside Discord! Yea that's my girl, I knew she wasn't gonna let me stay outside.
Stoned Perspective Dreams It was still the day time, but the mane 6 were tired from their adventure they had today, they were in their bedrooms with 5 guards to each door making sure nopony gets in or out. "Good night girls!"yelled Twilight from her room "Good night Twilight!"they said in unison Each one of them already snug in bed asleep, but in Fluttershy's room, she was still getting ready for bed, she was still pushing Discord's statue next to her bed. Before she got into bed- she gave Discord's statue a hug good night. "Good night Discord." Good night, sweet Fluttershy...I still wish you could hear me. When Fluttershy fell asleep, she dreamt of what had happened that day, but some things were different- such as when they summoned Discord, he wasn't in the shower, he's was smiling grimly at them- like he was expecting them to summon him and he summoned up his old throne. "Hello old friends, nice to see you- do you like what I've done with the place? it really suits me."said Discord with a smirk on his face "Discord, you know we told you specifically not to cause chaos when your free, but can you get rid of this chaos before we have to turn you back to stone again?"asked Twilight "I'm afraid I can't do that princess."said Discord "Why not? Do you want to be stone again?"said Twilight eagerly "Of course not, but do you want to be turned to stone?"said Discord in a grim way "I was turned to stone once, but I won't be turned to stone again, but tell us why are you doing this?"asked Twilight "I'm doing this because I can't hold back my chaos anymore! I want to be free and make my chaos spread all across Equestria!" "We cannot let that happen Discord- you know that already." "So be it then." In a snap Discord conjured up Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, who albeit didn't know what was going had their wings and horns taken away and was levitating above a container of boiling chocolate milk. "What's going on? One moment I'm in the Royal Library and now I'm above a container of...chocolate milk?"said Celestia "Discord! What do you think your doing?"said Fluttershy "I'm getting rid of the princesses, so they can't be in my way." "Let them go Discord or else"said an angered Twilight "Oh alright, but you chose the wrong words." Always taking stuff to heart, Discord dropped the princesses into the chocolate milk and it only took a matter of a few mintues till they didn't hear their crys for help. "Discord! I can't believe this, why are you doing this?"asked a confused Fluttershy "I'm taking over Equestria again and you'll be the third to disappear from this place!" "NO!" ENOUGH All around Fluttershy everything disappeared and there was a bright light in front of her. "Princess Luna? Is that you?"said Fluttershy shielding her eyes from the light "No, it's me Discord, but you can call me Prince Discord- if you want." "Discord! Hey....wait I thought your in stone and does Princess Luna know your doing her job?" "I am in stone, but I'm using all my strength for you to talk to you from there and Lulu doesn't even know I'm doing this." *Meanwhile* Why do I get the feeling that I'm being replaced in my job. Don't ask me. *Back* "Any who, I came to tell you who is causing the chaos and to finish my sentence I was going to say." "Finish what you were going to tell me first then tell me who's doing this."said Fluttershy "Oh, OK...I was going to tell you that I have a crush on you but now I think I l-I-love you."said Discord not knowing Fluttershy was going to ask that first. Fluttershy was shocked to hear those words coming from his mouth and he was even stammering too! "And I know this seems a bit rushed and I know you love me too, since I heard you say it, when you were in Twilight's bunker-" "Wait...you can still hear stuff when your in stone!" "Yes, but I have to hurry it up still since I'm losing my strength and soon will be going back to Limbo."said Discord looking down at his watch. "Ok, now who is causing the chaos?" "It's an old creation of mine, her name is Eris, a female version of me. I made her when I was feeling lonely during my 1st rein, but she disappeared the next day, after that I never saw her since then, now she's back and wanting to take over Equestria." "Ok, how do we defeat her?" "I don't know, just make a plan to defeat her, I have to go now." "WAIT!- I mean, wait can you give me something before you go?" "What is that?" "Canyoukissme"said Fluttershy now blushing a deep red "What was that again? And slower this time."said Discord wanting to know if he heard her right "Can you kiss me?"said Fluttershy again with her blush turning more red "Oh, I-I'm sorry, I really wish I can do that, but I'm not fully here right now...I'm just a spirit right now."said Discord apologizing with a bit of red at his cheeks now "Oh ok, sorry I asked bye Discord..." "Bye, sweet Fluttershy." When Fluttershy woke up, she both had happiness and sadness in her mind, but she did have new information about who's doing this, and her name was Eris and was the female counterpart to Discord. She had to go tell the others, just before she left her room, she turned back at Discord's statue and said- "Thank you Discord." And then left her room towards the dining hall. Your welcome, my sweet....
