The 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.
