One For Two

"Hey! Um... Twilight? Can I speak to you for a moment please?" asked Spike, a little embarrassed.

Twilight lifted her head up from her book. It was an interesting book about ancient writings. She had been reading it for two hours now and was quite irritated about her little assistant bothering her again. Well... He wasn't so little anymore. His seventeenth birthday had been a month ago. Twilight sighted. Soon he would be leaving her to get married. It was quite surprising but he had gotten over his old crush, Rarity. Although Twilight suspected him to be into Fluttershy now...

"Yes Spike what is it?" she asked.

Spike looked at her with a nervous face. His eyes kept shifting away from her gaze. His hands were gripping tight on his little white blanket (it was a modified version of his Rarity toy which he had changed years ago) and he was moving around.

"I... I... Uh...Never mind. It's nothing. Sorry for disturbing you" Spike muttered, finally giving up on telling her what was bothering him.

He quickly stepped out of her room, almost running out before she could say anything.

Twilight frowned and shook her head. That dragon...

Spike on the other hand was hesitating on trying again. What he had seen yesterday was very... disturbing. For him at least. It was something that he had to share with some pony but... who?

Spike focused to try and forget what happened but it only made it worse. The memory came back and he remembered every detail of it...

It was a sunny day and the purple dragon was walking to Fluttershy's cottage. He would visit that place more and more which led him to realize his very, very, very, very big crush on her. Once he found out that he loved her, being with the yellow girl was becoming something that he needed. At night, he would often look out his window in the hope of seeing her lovely pink hair, her yellow skin, her big, innocent blue eyes that would look up at him and make him smile.

Spike stopped in the middle of the road and controlled himself. Last time, he was so busy thinking about her that he had bumped into a few people.

He continued his way to her cottage and stopped in front of the door. It was becoming harder and harder to not show his emotions and he feared that one day she would notice them.

Spike heard a sweet laugh. Then he heard another, more deep laugh.

Discord?!thought Spike angrily.

The draconequs often visited Fluttershy too. Spike and him had become silent enemies after realizing that they both appreciated the same girl and Discord was winning... Flowers and presents always appeared in his hands whenever he saw her. Spike couldn't come up with all the jokes and tricks that Discord had up his sleeves. That was why he was determined to get her.

No matter what...

Spike opened the door and saw his enemy and Fluttershy both sitting in two chairs. They had cups of tea floating besides them and seemed like they were having a good time. Fluttershy turned to him and smiled sweetly, lifting his spirit.

"Oh! Hello Spike. I didn't expect you to come here, how are you?"

"F... Fine thanks. I just wanted to uh... see... you..." muttered the purple dragon awkwardly.

"Well, you could knock instead of barging in like that!" said Discord crossing his arms.

What's his problem?

"I'm a friend of hers. I'm allowed to come by and visit"

"Yeah but no need to enter so rudely okay? I almost dropped the cup of the lovely tea Fluttershy made specially for me" smirked Discord while his tail made a victory sign.

"So what?! Does that mean that you're going to be rejected by her just because I came inside? Didn't you learn at that gala last time?" said Spike through gritted teeth.

"Please! That was years ago! That dear Tree cutter and I are besties now!

"Treehugger" whispered Fluttershy.

"Yes, yes of course my dear sorry!"

Spike cringed at the name he called her but managed to smile and turned to Fluttershy :

"I'm sorry too Flutters," Ha! Point for me!" I just came by to help you with the animals and stuff. After all, they're so cute and need the attention right?"

"Oh Spike what a sweet thing to say! Discord already took care of them but I'll surely offer you a cup of tea. You came here with such good intentions..." she said as she got up. The yellow girl looked at him and blushed a little which made Spike's heart leap. Was that a good sign?! It probably was!

He smiled (and probably blushed) back at her until a rather annoyed Discord got up and escorted Fluttershy to the kitchen. Before entering it, he turned his head and gave Spike a death glare. Spike just smiled and made a victory sign with his hands, giving him a taste of his own medicine.

He sat down in the chair Discord was sitting in earlier while the kitchen door closed and stared out the window. It was rare that his encounters with Discord would go this way. He would either loose or embarrass himself in front of Fluttershy.

Fluttershy... The girl he loved... Oh how he wanted to brush his hand through her lovely pink hair and put his lips against her delicate little face. One day he would marry that girl. Unless Discord did it first...

Speaking of the devil, what is that idiot doing? thought Spike a little worried.

He tiptoed to the kitchen door and peeked through the keyhole.

Discord was hugging Fluttershy! And in a really... sick and twisted way. His hands were positioned on her breasts and his mouth was next to her ear. She was frozen to the spot in front of her teapot and was apparently not expecting that.

Spike's mouth opened and his eyes widened. Sweat trickled down his face. What the hell was that pervert doing to her?!

"D... Discord... W... Wha... What are you doing?!" whisper shouted Fluttershy, traumatized.

"Something that I should've done a long time ago", he said calmly. " Something that I want to do to you. Because... I love you!"

"Squeak!"

"It's the strongest love in the world I've ever felt! I want you Fluttershy! I really want you!" murmured Discord in a crazy way.

"Let me go!" said Fluttershy, struggling.

"Oh no need for that my dear! I'm going to enjoy myself..."

Discord pushed her forward onto the table and started to lick her neck.

"The hell Discord?! Let me GO!!" screeched Fluttershy, terrified.

The draconequs seemed surprised and loosened his grip a bit. That's when Spike decided it was time to come in.

He jumped in the kitchen and punched Discord as hard as possible in the stomach, making him let go and fall on the floor in pain.

"Fluttershy let's go NOW!" yelled Spike, grabbing her hand and pulling her out of the cottage.

They ran for a long time before falling on the ground, panting. They both stayed there for a while, catching their breath. Then Fluttershy looked up at him.

"Th... Thank you very much Spike. I can't believe Discord did that! He... He is just such a monster!" she whispered, tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry about that" said Spike getting a little closer to her. "I would never have thought he would do something so perverted! Hurting you is just the worst of crimes..."

"That's sweet. You've always been here for me and I... I never got the chance to thank you for what you've done. With the animals and with Discord. Oh Spike! How could he..." Fluttershy sobbed.

The young dragon was a little embarrassed. He had no idea how to react to a pretty girl crying because she was just abused of! But he had to comfort her. So he got closer and hugged her.

She stopped sobbing and her big blue eyes shifted towards him. He could see the crystal tears in them through her pink hair. She laid her head against his torso, sobbing some more and thanking him again.

Spike didn't know for how long they stayed like that. But he never wanted to leave.

Finally, she pulled away and looked around before gasping.

"S... Spike! We're in the Everfree forest!" she squealed.

"What?!"

Spike checked his surroundings as well and realized she was right. They had ran strait into the dark and scary Everfree forest! But strangely this time... this time he wasn't scared. He had just beaten Discord and was on the verge of getting the girl of his dreams. He could surely protect her. Maybe this was the time to reveal his feelings for her?

"Don't you worry" he said, looking her strait in the eyes. "I'll protect you with my life Fluttershy. And I will always be there for you. No matter what. It's just that there's something that's been bugging me a lot. I really don't want you to think that I'm taking advantage of the situation here but... I think I love... you."

She looked at him and tears filled up her eyes again.

"That's the... nicest thing... anybody has ever s... said to me. And... To be honest I've been feeling that way too for a long time now. But I never found the time or courage to tell you that...I may love you too Spike," she squealed and then stood up, more determined. "I really love you too".

It was all the dragon needed to stand up as well and lean to her, his lips crashing onto hers. His arms wrapped around her and she pressed against him. At first, he felt her stiffen up, and he worried that it would be too much in a day but she finally returned it.

Their kiss lasted a few seconds before they broke it up, panting. The intensity of the kiss was a passionate way for them to prove each other's love towards the other. Fluttershy blushed a bit and a thought went through her head : Is this right?

This is the best day ever! thought Spike, walking through the streets with his new girlfriend.

It was so hard not to kiss her again but he didn't want to insist on it since she had just been a little traumatized by Discord. The single thought of that freak made Spike want to punch something. Abusing of his new girl like that... It actually was quite surprising that he hadn't done anything against them yet. Normally, being the annoying and careless draconequs he is, Discord would be raging over the town to find Fluttershy and him.

Unless... Unless he had seen them kissing in the Everfree forest - which they had barely escaped out of due to a pack of Timberwolves -... Maybe it had upset him...?

Ugh! The hell if he got upset! I can't trust him.

"Spike?" came the sweet voice of Fluttershy. "Where are we going?"

"I don't want to let you sleep at your cottage incase... he comes back so... would you mind sleeping with me tonight?" he said and smiled at her before quickly adding : "Not in a bad way! I don't want to do that!"

"Oh dear sorry! I guess I'm just a little on edge. But thank you, I'm gladly accepting your offer."

Spike smiled at her again - which was all he seemed capable to do - and they arrived in front of the shimmering castle.

"Here we are!" he said.

But he didn't get an answer for a giant pile of confetti and balloons submerged them. The purple dragon feared for a moment that Discord was back until he heard a familiar high pitched voice.

"Oh my gosh Fluttershy you made it!!" chirped Pinkie Pie. "I didn't think you would have gotten my invitation because when I came by this morning you weren't at home so I figured 'Pinkie! If she is not at home she has to be someplace else!' Because you know, you simply can't be not someplace else if you're not at home so I went and asked Applejack If she'd seen you but she said that she didn't so I went and asked Rainbow Dash but like she was in her house and her house is in the sky, I had to go find one of my amazingly bouncy trampolines to get to her and..."

"PINKIE! Shut up already! I'm getting a headache!" moaned Rainbow Dash, appearing behind her with a piece of cake in her hoof.

"Oopsie Doopsie Gummy Yummy! I guess I'm just soooooo happy she's here!"

"Um... Here for what?" Asked Fluttershy, emerging from the pile of confetti.

"We're having a super duper crazy-licious party for no absolute reason!" said Pinkie Pie very proudly, before bouncing away.

"Ah have no idea what it's for but Granny Smith baked us some nice pies so ah guess it's cool" came Applejack, helping Spike up.

"We're going to have a wonderful afternoon, enjoying the festivities and then we will have a slumber party in Twilight's room" said Rarity with -as always - a cup of fruit punch floating besides her.

"Oh... Okay" smiled Fluttershy as the three walked back to the main room.

Spike was about to follow them when the yellow girl grabbed his hand to pull him away and whispered :

"Please, not a word to the others about what happened. I will talk to them tomorrow but right now I just don't feel like it..."

"But Twilight could help!"

Fluttershy looked at him with pleading eyes and Spike gulped.

"Alright, alright! I won't say a word just please never do that again!" Spike leaned in and winked at her "I don't want to die of cuteness!"

She giggled and blushed before joining the others.

Spike looked at his bedroom ceiling. He was lying in bed after the long afternoon he had just lived through. For hours he had secretly guarded the door, terrified at the idea of Discord coming in and crashing the whole party.

At least Fluttershy seemed like she had some fun...

The girls where all gathered in Twilights room and had sent Spike to his own. In times like this he kind of regretted the old library...

Spike closed his eyes. Tomorrow would be a better day...

A grumbling awoke him. He sat up in bed, still a little asleep and looked around in alarm : the whole castle was shaking! Spike quickly jumped out of bed and grabbed his clothes. He put them on and rushed into the hallway to see the girls in front of him, screaming.

"What's happening?!" yelled RD.

"I don't know!" Replied Twilight to cover the noise of the ground shaking.

"Let's get outta here gals! Before the whole darn building falls on us!" screamed Applejack, running towards the door.

Spike looked for Fluttershy and grabbed her hand, ignoring the shocked look of the others and making a go for the exit. The girls followed him and he saw Applejack suddenly stop in front of the door, making everybody else stop.

"What is it?!" screamed Twilight.

"We... We're in the bucking air! The castle is floating!" replied the cowgirl.

They all looked over her shoulder and saw she was right. The castle was getting further and further away from the ground.

It passed a few clouds and then nobody could see Equestria anymore. Above the clouds, some pink and cotton candy ones were floating about here and there.

"Wait..." muttered Spike," this seems familiar..."

Finally, the castle stopped going up and immobilised itself in such a sudden way that everybody fell to the floor. Spike's head hit the edge of the wall and the last thing he saw was the hand of Fluttershy being yanked out of his.

"Discord..."

2. Castle of Chaos

Fluttershy awoke in a bed. It wasn't hers though... What was she doing here? Maybe her friend bear had another problem with his wife and she had fallen asleep in their cave. But... This didn't look like his house.

First of all she wasn't in a cave. Second of all, what was with all of these paintings of her?!

She sat up, a little worried, and realized she wasn't wearing pijamas but a weird red dress. It was short - it stopped a little before her knees - and long black lingerie socks stopped at the same level of her dress. Black lace was sewed on the edges of it.

Fluttershy blushed at the somewhat sexy outfit she had on her.

She quickly got up and dashed for the doors, almost slipping on the marble checkered floor. They were locked... Of course they were.

"Help! Um... Somebody? Please help me! I... If you don't mind".

A laugh behind the door came to her ears.

"So sweet and lovely! Now, beg for me more my dear!" said the voice.

"D... Discord!!" squealed Fluttershy, finally remembering her dreadful day yesterday.

She backed away from the two massive wooden doors and crashed into a cristal lamp behind her. Pieces of glass ripped through her skin and she cried out in pain at the burning sensations in her arms and face.

"Now now my dear, I'm the one supposed to hurt you. Don't do it yourself you little troublemaker!" Discord smirked, appearing in front of her and stretching out a hand.

"What do you mean?" squeaked Fluttershy, grabbing on to his hand with a little bit of hesitation "What did I do to you?!"

A flash of anger crossed his yellow eyes as he took hold of her.

"You're kidding right? You've got to be kidding! Something like that is unforgivable." He pressed her hand and she felt shards of cristal cut deeper in her palm. Tears of pain filled her eyes and she struggled against his grasp. "I gave you my love! I gave you my affection! I cared for you!"

"N...No you didn't! You tried to... And I hate you for that!" gulped the poor yellow girl.

"Well," murmured the draconequs, seeming to loose his anger," I know that you're not going to hate me anymore! Oh no my dear, you are going to love me! And I will love you back..."

He pulled her closer until he could feel her panicked breath on his face.

"I will love you back so good that you won't be able to struggle or resist me ever again".

Discord saw the terrified look she was giving him and loved it. He started to laugh as he let go of her and said :

"Lunch will be at 12 pm sharp. Like the castle is big - and I must admit that I have modified it a little - the first couple of days here, you will be allowed to get some help from our maids".

Fluttershy blinked.

"Ourmaids?!"

"Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight! Twilight!"

"Rarity! Please turn the pinky alarm off!" yelled Twilight, digging her head deeper in the pillows.

A muffled groan came to her, sign that her friend had no intent on doing it.

"Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash!"

"Alright girls! Who switched her on yesterday?!" yelled Rainbow Dash, not moving.

The others didn't answer and RD felt a hoof tap her shoulder.

"This is not a Pinkie alarm silly!" squealed Pinkie Pie's voice," This is a 'Omigoshthereisaverybigproblem' alarm! And I think that you should get up now! Applejack! Applejack! Applejack! Applejack!"

Twilight finally gave up on trying to sleep and got up, rubbing her eyes. She didn't remember much of yesterday, perhaps she had drunk to much again?

But when her eyes opened, she let out a gasp. What had happened to her room?!

It was now smaller and a creepy black and red color had replaced the beautiful purple and blue color of the walls. Everything was dark crystal now...

The furniture had disappeared and her friends where all asleep on mattresses with blankets and pillows. There was a big chest in the corner.

"Girls! Girls! Pinkie is right! There is a problem. Wake up!" said Twilight, making sure they were alright.

The others woke up and were as shocked as her when they discovered their new surroundings.

"What in tarnation' has happened here?" said AJ, immediately standing up in alert.

"I have absolutely no idea!" chirped a very bouncy Pinkie Pie. "Good thing the 'Omigoshthereisaverybigproblem' alarm is automatic! I just woke up and everything was all weird and black! Did you do it Twilight? You should of painted the walls pink! It brings more fun to the rooms... "

"No, I didn't Pinkie. And I have no idea who did this. Anybody remember what happened yesterday?"

"Actually, I'm afraid I might have drunk a little to much punch last night," muttered a guilty Rarity.

"Rarity, punch does not give you the same effects as alcohol" scolded Twilight.

"Uh... Unless I put a little bit in the punch bowl..." said Applejack a little sheepishly.

"What?! Why wasn't I told about that awesome prank!" squeaked Pinkie.

"How could you?! That is very irresponsible of you AJ!" huffed Rarity.

"It was Rainbow Dash! She dared me to do it!" defended the cowgirl.

"No I didn't ! Well... Maybe!" joined the cyan girl.

They all started fighting. Twilight suddenly realized somebody was missing.

"Girls!" she yelled in panic, "Where's Fluttershy?!"

They all stopped and stared at each other before searching frantically around the small room.

"Well she certainly isn't under the mattresses" chirped Pinkie after lifting each of them up.

"I may have found something gals" said Applejack, showing them the opened chest.

They gathered around her and saw some beautiful black and white dresses with the same color aprons. The edges were decorated with white laces and the rest was black.

"These look like... Maid Outfits!" screamed Rarity, starting to laugh hysterically. "And of the finest quality too! Oh just look at the cute little headbands that match them! This fabric is old and yet so well preserved! Who made these? They're fabulous!"

"Maybe we have to put them on?" proposed Rainbow Dash, ignoring her. "I'm freezing in these!"

Twilight looked down at herself and remembered that she had gone to bed in just a purple bra and panties. The others had done the same apparently, each of them wearing them in their favorite color.

"Ohhhh! Lookie! This one's got my cutie mark on it!"

"And this one's got mine! They're hard to see but ah' can always spot a few apples from a mile away".

They all gathered around the chest and each found one with their cutie mark stitched in the bottom right of the dress.

"That means they're meant for us..." murmured Twilight concentrating,"I wonder who is behind all this".

"Fluttershy apparently doesn't have a dress!" said Rarity, "There's only one for each of us."

"And this stupid door won't budge!" muttered Rainbow Dash with effort while pushing with all her strength against it.

"We should get dressed and look for clues" suggested Twilight, taking her maid outfit out and staring to put it on.

"Hold on now Twi' !" interrupted Applejack. " We have no idea what we're doing here and you want us to follow the rules that somebody gave us with these dresses?"

"Yeah! How do we know they're not dangerous! You could just blast open the door with your horn and we could figure out what happened. Plus, these are way to girly for me to put on!"

"Sorry but I can't concentrate with all of you jumping around half naked. Now put those on until we find something more suitable to wear" snapped Twilight.

Rainbow Dash and Applejack reluctantly dressed up while Rarity looked like she was about to faint with joy.

Twilight finished putting hers on and looked around. They actually looked hot in these.

"Okay! Get away from the door girls, I'm going to use a fire spell." said Twilight, getting into position.

They all backed away from it and the purple girl closed her eyes in concentration... A few seconds passed and the others started to feel uncomfortable.

Finally, Rarity stepped forward :

"Darling? Anytime now!"

"I... I can't!" gasped Twilight. "Its like I forgot every spell I've ever learned! I feel like a filly again!"

"Nonsense! You are one of the princesses of Equestria! You cannot simply forget" Rarity said, shaking her head. "Here, let me try and soften the wood for you!"

She concentrated and, like Twilight, gasped in horror.

"She's right! I can't remember how to do magic! It's like all of my knowledge simply disappeared!"

"That can't be happening! We need to get out of here to get you some help" said RD. "And to do so, we have to open the door..."

"Why don't ya just fly up and dash down like ya always do Rainbow?" suggested Applejack.

"Yeah yeah I was going to get to that no problem!" moaned the cyan girl as she started to flap her wings... Nothing.

Everyone in the room raised an eyebrow at the pitiful way her wings flapped but how they never got her off the ground. She tried and tried and tried but failed at even lifting herself off the floor.

"I lost my knowledge about flying!" she finally breathed out, exhausted. "That's fucked up! How could I forget how to fly?! I've always been able to fly! I could do it before walking!"

"Rainbow calm down!" interrupted Twilight, "We're going to fix this."

"Yeah and how do you suggest we do that while locked in here?! We don't have any food either! Unless...?" said Rainbow, shooting a hopeful look at Pinkie Pie who just shook her head sadly :

"Sorry but I didn't pack any emergency food yesterday. There was plenty in Twilight's room when I went to bed!" she sagged. Then she opened her mouth wide and gasped that gasp she was known to do. "No food means no cupcakes!! I have no cupcakes! How am I supposed to survive without any of those delicious goodies?! I need help! I need help!" she yelled in despair.

"And yet you call me a drama queen..." muttered Rarity.

Pinkie ran for the door and leaned against it, almost crying. The door opened and she fell to the floor. Everyone looked at each other.

"Uh... Pinkie Pie?" asked Applejack, "How hard did you push on that door?"

"I dunno!" said an uncertain pink girl, "I just leaned on it!"

There was another silence before Rainbow took hold of a pillow and threw it on the floor.

"Oh come on!"

They all stepped out of the room warily. It was the same corridor as in Twilight's castle. The only change was that every wall was now beige and a red carpet was on the floor.

A laugh came to their ears.

"Th... That's Discord!" yelled Twilight and her memories from the night before came back. She gasped in horror, remembering the castle going up to the sky.

The others seemed to have remembered that too because they were now getting into a defensive position.

"You are right indeed!" Discord said, appearing in front of them. "I hope you liked my little surprise! You all look good in these..."

"Why can't we use magic?" interrupted Twilight rudely.

The draconequs slowly turned to her and snapped his fingers. A horrible pain slashed through Twilight's body and she fell to the floor. She had the impression that knives inside her were thrashing about, cutting every fragile organ she had. Sweat trickled down her face and she screamed the most horrible scream anybody had ever heard.

Her friends hurried to her side, yelling in panic.

Then it stopped. All of a sudden, she couldn't feel the knives anymore. She slowly got up, her legs shaking and her ears ringing. She could feel the girls around her but couldn't quite make out what they were saying or see them very well for her vision was blurred.

Finally, she felt better but was still traumatized. She looked up and saw Discord who hadn't moved. He was smirking.

"What happened ?" asked a worried Rarity. "We thought you were going to... well we had that impression!"

Twilight ignored her and stomped her hoof on the ground, looking strait in the yellow and red eyes.

"Why?" she asked.

"Don't interrupt me again" simply said Discord. "And don't annoy me or interfere with my plans. Or you get that again."

"What plans?" RD raged.

"Oh you know. Glory, happiness..." he gritted his teeth"love... All that stuff!"

"Are you going to take over Equestria again? And make it rain delicious chocolate milk everywhere?"

"Maybe later... And even if I did, there would still be no. whipped. cream."

"You monster..." whispered Pinkie, narrowing her eyes.

"Who cares about that?!" yelled Rainbow Dash. "I wanna know what you just did to Twilight! And now!"

Discord shot her a glare and lifted his hand up.

Twilight gasped and pushed Rainbow.

"Shut up" she scolded.

RD and the others looked at her, shocked and Twilight interiorly cursed Discord for making her do that.

"Well, well!" Discord smiled evilly, "I'm going to explain everything in the main room with Fluttershy. Get to it in five minutes or else..."

Then he disappeared and the girls looked at each other.

"Should we go?" asked Applejack.

"Yeah" said Twilight in a low voice. "And we better get there fast..."

Spike awoke in a dungeon. It smelled damp and cold. A shudder passed his whole body as he realized that a few rats ran here and there. He got up from the mattress he had awoken on and paced around the rather small black room, looking for some way to escape. He remembered perfectly what had happened last night and hated himself for not being able to save Fluttershy. Or the others. They probably didn't even know what was going on!

Spike shook his head. There would be time for negative thoughts later.

The only light he had was from the inside of the left wall. At at least two meters up, a tiny tunnel continued for a good 2 or 3 meters, digging into the stone. At the far end, Spike assumed there was a vent for he could feel some fresh air on his face every now and then.

Other than that, there were no doors, no windows, just a mattress and a few rats. Spike laid back on his 'bed' and closed his eyes, searching for sleep. He thought he heard Fluttershy's voice at some point...

Spike stood up. That was her voice! He rushed to the direction of the sound : it was coming from the vent. Spike could also hear another voice, it was low and dull.

That celestiadamm idiot! What is that fucker doing to her now? Spike raged, clutching his fists.

He suddenly heard a small sob as Fluttershy whisper screamed. It was driving the purple dragon mad. He had to get out of here!

Running towards his mattress, he ripped it open, taking out the springs in it. Spike walked back to where the small tunnel and the vent was and breathed out to give him courage.

It's time to start digging...

3. No Way Out

"This way!" shouted Twilight towards her friends, running ahead of the group. "We only have 30 seconds left before we get..."

"Wait! Wait! We mustn't be to sweaty or these magnificent outfits will be ruined! Girls!"

"Rarity," yelled an exasperated Applejack " you're gonna have to decide between sufferin' the same pain as Twilight or getting a little sweaty. Do what ya want, we ain't holdin' ya back!"

"Of course you would say that! You don't know how rare these are and how you must preserve them..."

"Rarity!" yelled the girls.

She huffed and picked up the pace, head high.

They all arrived in the main room, panting. When they lifted their heads, they saw, on the far end of the room, a very happy looking Discord sitting in a giant throne. Next to him, was Fluttershy.

"Fluttershy!" squealed Pinkie Pie.

"Girls!" she squealed back in delight. Then her face became worried as she saw their outfits. She turned to Discord and started backing away from him. "You weren't lying! How could you make our friends into maids?! They haven't done anything to you!"

"Because you have?" asked Rainbow Dash, lifting and eyebrow.

At that, Fluttershy sank to the floor and started crying.

Discord didn't make a move to comfort her or anything. He just sat there and didn't offer his help which was unusual for him towards the yellow girl.

"What did you do to her? The poor thing is traumatized!"

"Yeah! We're just gonna have to kick your butt right girls?" said Rainbow, smiling.

Pinkie Pie, Applejack and Rarity nodded but Twilight interfered.

"No! He's strong. He's is going to do to you what he did to me! Please..." she pleaded.

"Ah never thought ah'd see you running away from a chance to save one of your friends Twi'... Really, It's disappointing!" sighted AJ.

"Oh dear! I'm soooo scared of all of you little girls planning on attacking me like that! Fluttershy, what ever shall I do?" exaggerated Discord to the silent girl.

The gang charged, ignoring Twilight's interdiction.

"Oh!" giggled Discord," I know!"

He snapped his fingers, chuckling to himself and the four stopped right in their tracks. Then Twilight yelled 'no!' and they started to scream in agony. Fluttershy screamed also at the sight of her suffering friends and bolted towards them only to be held back by one of Discord's arms.

"Watch how they are suffering because of you. Watch their pain and agony. It should really be you instead of them but..." he ran a finger down her cheek, forcing her to look at him, "I wouldn't want to damage that pretty face of yours. Not right now anyway." And he threw her to the floor.

On the other side of the room, the girls had stopped yelling. They were now on the ground, trying to get up. Their eyes were wide open, in shock and Twilight was crying of rage towards the draconequs and of her impotence to heal her friends.

It took about a minute for them all to get back up and stare at Discord, this time with more fear than confidence. He waved his hand and Fluttershy floated back to him, on his laps where she became red in embarrassment.

"Now," Discord said calmly, ignoring the shocked looks he got from the others. "I am the king of chaos. You are all my maids. I want you to obey me, to respect me, to worship me. It's simple. Everything I want, I'll get it. Everything you do, I'll know it. See ? Simple! You will all sleep where you woke up this morning."

He finished talking and glared at them. No one spoke. Fluttershy's head was bleeding from where she had rudely fallen on the floor.

Finally, Rainbow Dash raised her hand, feeling like the most idiot of servants.

Discord put on a smug face and said imperially :

"Yes maid ?"

RD gritted her teeth at that but asked her question anyway.

"We all still don't know why you're doing this..."

"Oh Fluttershy didn't tell you? Of course she didn't, why would she talk to someone about me?"

"This was different!" suddenly shouted Fluttershy.

Discord made a zipper appear at her mouth's place and put a lock on the zip.

"Shut up! So, let's start from the beginning eh? Fluttershy is kind, sweet, nice, beautiful and has many other qualities. We are good friends. At some point in life, I must admit it, you get lonely. I started to grow fond of her. Then, I started to love her. A few months ago, came the period where It was hard not to be in her presence.

She would always be with that idiot dragon thought and he obviously liked her too. Yesterday, I decided to let Fluttershy know about my feelings. She rejected me! She rejected me by calling out for help so that dragon could come out and punch me in the stomach. Then they both ran away, leaving me distraught and alone to kiss someplace else!" finished Discord, putting a hand on his forehead exaggeratively.

The girls blinked.

"D... Did you really do that Fluttershy?" asked an uncertain Pinkie Pie.

"No!" replied quickly the victim. "He tried to... to..." she choked on her words.

"To what darling?"

"To r..."

"Alright! Off to work you girls! We're hungry... right?" snapped Discord, interrupting her.

Fluttershy just lowered her head.

A silence followed those words until Discord shooed them off. They all leaved, giving suspicious looks to both the draconequs and his victim.

"And feel free to start arguing again!" shouted Discord. "I like it. So if you want to do it again..."

That made a chill run through Twilight's body. She had the impression to be with the Sirens again. Only this time it was worse...

Her mind worked hard while they were cutting up carrots and potatoes. Why would Discord ask them to fight? Of course he would enjoy the chaos coming from a good argument. But the way he had almost asked them to fight had been really unnatural.

The rest of the girls were debating their situation.

"Fluttershy would never do something heartless to that guy. She loves him!" said Rainbow. "But I mean loves him in a friendly way you know."

"The poor thing looked traumatized. Who knows what he did to her?!" huffed Rarity.

"Yeah... Especially after that horrible..." started Pinkie but then she shuddered and didn't finish her sentence. It looked like that torture session had been really hard on her.

"Come here sugarcube" said Applejack, opening her arms towards her.

Think Twilight, think!

Details from earlier this morning came back to her. When they had woke up, none of them had remembered what had happened last night. They didn't even recognize where they had been sleeping. It's true that it must have provided a lot of chaos and confusion to enjoy... They had also strangely been fighting a lot ever since this morning. Maybe he was creating chaos? Maybe he needed it...?

"Yes!" squealed Twilight, jumping in the air, making Applejack cut herself in surprise.

"What?!" shouted the others in response.

"Discord needs chaos! For some reason, he's feeding on it!"

"Twilight, that's crazy talk" said Rainbow. "Discord never needed to feed on stuff like that."

"Well know apparently he does" replied Twilight. "And I want to know why..."

"Wasn't that refreshing?" said Discord, stretching.

"N... No."

"Oh stop being a wimp about all this. I already told you that it's to discipline them. You can't deny that they needed it."

"Yes I can."

Discord simply sighted as he stared at her. If only she had loved him... They would happily be living in her cottage, getting along just fine and joking about how pathetic Spike looked.

But now he was imprisoning her and her friends for his own personal keeping. Discord shook himself. That was the wait was supposed to be.

"Come now my dear, they surely have finished dinner."

Fluttershy didn't move and tears came up in her eyes.

Not again...

"What?!" Discord said sharply.

"H... How could you betray me and my friends like that? How could you torture the ponies that cared for you. Even after the Tirek incident I really thought you changed."

"We have been over this a thousand times Fluttershy. And I'm not repeating myself. Now come on before I start to get angry."

But Fluttershy stayed right where she was, blood trickling down her face at the spot where she had fallen. Discord had fixed her hand out of pity of course.

"No" she simply said. "I can get angry too you know."

"You are getting on my nerves. Come here now!"

"No!"

"Fluttershy... You come here this instant or I'll..."

"What? You'll what Discord? Torture me like my friends?"

Discord suddenly lost his angry look and gently walked towards her.

"I will torture you yes but not in the same way as your friends."

Discord got even closer to the determined girl and flashed her a smile.

"Let's skip dinner shall we? I think we have more important matters to take care of in... the bedroom."

Fluttershy's eyes immediately opened wide as her stubbornness and courage melted away. She dashed to the open doors that closed just as she was about to go out. She uselessly pounded on them, screaming for help until she felt something grab her and lift her up. Discord put her over his shoulder and held her tight, then started to walk down the corridors towards his bedroom.

She screamed and kicked and screamed again but Discord was strong.

They passed near the kitchens and it made the girls jump. They all rushed out to see their yelling friend being carried away.

"Fluttershy!" they all exclaimed at once.

"Girls! Please..." squealed Fluttershy, hesitating on making them run the risk of being tortured again.

"I'm coming!" yelled Rainbow.

She ran towards them but was stopped by a glass window that appeared out of nowhere. A little devil Discord was painted on it and was saying :

"You do not have the permission, you do not have the permission, you do not have the permission..."

"Ugh... I hate it when he does that!"

They all could only watch helplessly as Fluttershy was carried away into another room.

"Why was she screaming?" asked Twilight, concerned.

"How am I supposed to know?" mumbled Applejack.

"You do not have the permission, you do not have the permission, you do not have the permission..."

"Oh you shut up!" said a frustrated Rainbow Dash.

"You do not have the permission Rainbow Crash, you do not have the permission Rainbow Crash, you do not..."

"That's it!"

Pinkie Pie fell to the floor sobbing as Rainbow Dash started to argue with the window. The three others wrapped their arms around her and soon, RD joined in.

"We can make everything better as long as we're together" said Twilight. "We'll find a way to get Fluttershy back and then we can all escape".

They all nodded and the group hug lasted for about 5 seconds until Applejack suddenly got up in alarm.

"Gals! Where the heck is Spike?!"

Fluttershy was laid down on the bed and she stayed there for a quarter of a second before getting up and running to the far end of the room.

Discord sighted, looking annoyed as he snapped his fingers.

Fluttershy appeared on the bed and a rope tied her to it.

She squirmed and tried to undo the sheets to get out but Discord climbed on the huge bed as well and put one leg on each side of her body, sitting on the lower half of it with her legs behind his back.

Fluttershy was now starting to sweat.

"This is your punishment" said Discord in a smooth voice. "I hope you enjoy..."

He gently approached his face to hers and kissed her. She couldn't do anything but shudder at the feeling of his lips against her.

Then, he licked her neck a little and Fluttershy's heart started to beat faster. Discord took hold of her dress, caressing the silk before it vanished. The yellow girl started to squeal. Discord looked at her two giant breasts, covered by a bit of lingerie. Her panties were also very... transparent...

The draconequs gulped.

"S... Stop!" squealed Fluttershy, eyes closed and face as red as ever.

Discord ignored her and ran his tongue lower and lower. He went down to her stomach and licked from top to bottom, stopping about an inch away from her panties.

Fluttershy was breathing heavily now and squeals escaped her mouth now and then.

"You have been a naughty girl" teased Discord. "I had to carry you like a baby up to here." He slid his hands behind her back. "How could you act like that with me?" He took hold of the clip that held her bra in place. "I had the impression that I was dealing with a two year old with a particularly bad tantrum." Discord unhooked her bra and took it off. "Naughty!"

Fluttershy started to scream for no reason. She squirmed and moved around, making him feel like he was on some kind of annoying rodeo ride.

"Stop!" he yelled. "Stop moving celestiadamm!"

"Let go of me! Discord this is wrong! Please!"

"We were doing just fine! Now stop moving!"

"Not until y... you stop!"

Discord was starting to get annoyed. Plus, the feeling of her legs moving all around him and of her breasts wiggling was disturbing.

"Alright! Shut up and I'll stop for tonight!"

She stopped and the ropes untied themselves. Fluttershy quickly stood up and hit herself against the same glass panel Rainbow Dash had bumped into.

It was covering the whole area around the bed.

"You're sleeping with me tonight my dear" said Discord.

Fluttershy just obeyed, not wanting to get 'punished' again. She laid down on the far end of the bed, on the complete opposite side of his.

She closed her eyes, wondering how the others were doing...

Shit! Shit, shit, shit! I've got to dig faster!

Spike gave another hit to the wall with his 'tool'.

Over the day he had been able to dig up about half a meter through the tunnel.

He had heard Fluttershy's despair a few hours ago. It had been the most terrible moment of his life. Listening to the cries of the one he loved without being able to help or even signal her that he was there and watching over her was horrible.

Dig you dumb dragon, come on she's counting on you! thought Spike as he worked.

He hadn't eaten for nearly 12 hours now. Discord certainly didn't plan on giving him any water or food.

Spike had to be fast or he and the girls would probably all die here...

4. Self Control

Twilight awoke in her dull bedroom. She looked around to see her friends hadn't woken up yet. Of course they probably didn't want to wake up.

"Girls" said Twilight softly. "Wake up please."

"WAKE UP NOW YOU USELESS THINGS!" yelled a voice, making everybody scream.

"Gah!" shouted Rainbow Dash, surprised.

"Gah!" shouted the others even more terrified.

"Up!" said Discord's voice.

"Hey! What gives dude?" yelled Rainbow, trying to yank Pinkie Pie off her mattress. "Ugh Pinkie what's happening? Have you taken Fluttershy's place or something?"

"N... No! Fluttershy is having a bad day! A really bad day! Haha! Hahahaha! Fluttershy, Fluttershy!" chirped Pinkie Pie in a crazy tone. "Fluttershy is gonna die!"

"How could you say such a thing Pinkie?" asked a somewhat creeped out Rarity.

"Rarity! Pinkie Pie is goin' through some hard times! Leave her alone for a bit will ya?" answered Applejack.

"Why do you always have to take it out on me?! Applejack?" complained Rarity.

"Because you're always the one to blame!" interfered Rainbow.

"Excuse me?!"

"Girls no..." muttered Twilight. "Stop!"

She looked at the lord of Chaos that had appeared behind them. He was wearing a smug look on his face and seemed delighted at all the confusion.

"No... NO! Stop it now!" shouted Twilight.

They all froze and looked at her. She gave them a knowing look and discreetly pointed a Discord. They remembered what she had said about him feeding off chaos and immediately started apologizing to each other. Discord's look changed to anger and he told them to get ready to prepare breakfast. Twilight noticed some dark circles around his eyes and shivered. What had he done to Fluttershy yesterday night?

Fluttershy was having a bad day. Having a bad night was already bad enough. She had no idea how she had managed to fall asleep yesterday night.

She had been pressed against the glass window as far away as possible from the monster that had almost raped her and during the night, he had laid almost on top of her without her waking up.

That morning, finding him sleeping with his arms around her and one of his legs on top was somewhat traumatizing. She had screamed and Discord had been awoken quite rudely.

He had said that he had to go wake up her friends and that he would be back soon before kissing her goodbye.

Fluttershy quickly dressed into a jean short and white shirt before he arrived, not wanting to go through the drama of another risk. She then inspected the room a little, searching for escape routes. Behind a massive red armchair was a vent. Fluttershy was about to turn back when she heard a faint scratching noise.

"H... Hello? Is anybody there?"

The scratching stopped and a second later, Discord entered the room, seeming a little annoyed until he spotted her.

She was getting up quickly and blushing while trying to hide what she had discovered.

"What is it my dear?" he asked, casting a disapproving look at her outfit.

"N... Nothing!"

He raised his eyebrow and came closer :

"Why are you lying?"

"I'm not! Let's... Let's go eat breakfast?"

"Tell me! Tell me what is it?" he scolded her.

"Nothing I said! Now I'm hungry, let's go!" said Fluttershy, walking over to the door.

She was stopped when Discord slammed his hand across her cheek, slapping her hard.

Fluttershy fell to the floor and she stayed down, in shock.

She finally lifted her head, looking at Discord who was towering above her.

"Say you're sorry for lying to me. Now." he ordered,imperial.

"S... Sorry" she muttered.

"Up now. And change. I don't like that outfit"

"Yes..."

Discord sighted and sat on the bed, staring at her.

There was a moment of silence before he tilted his head towards her just as if he was saying : 'Well? What are you waiting for?'.

He looked calm now.

Fluttershy thought about resisting him for a second before remembering her stinging cheek, injured forehead and still painful fingers.

She got up and walked towards the closet, her gaze not leaving him.

Fluttershy opened it and picked out a pink dress out of the many outfits that were displayed there before hesitating.

No way was she going to turn her back to him but she had no intent on facing him while changing either.

An idea finally popped up in her head as she took off her top, already blushing.

Discord shifted his position a bit and disgust overwhelmed Fluttershy.

How could a friend of hers become such a pervert?

She saw sweat on his face and quickly put the dress over her. Then she took her short off under her dress and looked back in the closet for panties.

"You're no fun!" complained Discord like a six year old.

She didn't dare answer and picked a pair of panties before putting them on.

"You do look cute as chaos in that" smiled Discord.

Tears came to Fluttershy's eyes. That was something that he had said long ago when they were still happy.

"You would say that to me" she murmured. "And then you'd help me feed the animals or we'd go on a picnic".

"I told you like a thousand times and I'm seriously having enough of repeating myself. You rejected me okay? That's all there is to it."

"Yes..." squealed Fluttershy, still looking down.

They went out of the bedroom and Discord took hold of Fluttershy's shoulder, exercising a firm grip on her.

She on the other hand, started thinking about the noise she had heard earlier.

It could have been animals which would be good for help but... it could also be Spike.

She had been thinking a lot about Spike lately. Their relationship has been rushed and had only lasted about a day but she truly loved him.

I hope he really loves me too. I hope that he doesn't just give up on me like he did for Rarity...

Fluttershy remembered the day Spike had announced that he no longer loved the white girl for she was too hard to get.

It had been an awkward day that one. Probably more awkward for Rarity...

Oh Spike please help me... Wherever you are!

Discord on the other hand was observing her while they were walking.

What happened to me?! Am I really that bad? How can she still not love me?

He looked at her pink flowing hair, her shimmering eyes and her rather severe face.

What are you thinking about missy? thought Discord.

The last few days had been quite tuff for him.

Ever since he discovered his love for her, he always felt tired. Chaos would seem like the only thing that could make him feel distracted. It made him feel less sleepy.

Last time he had spent a whole day with Fluttershy and had not caused chaos. Discord had passed out on the way home, powerless.

That stupid purple princess must have already figured out that they've all been fighting more than usual. I need to step up my game...

And why am I getting tired when I'm in love? Is Fluttershy some kind of changeling or something?

Ugh! Why couldn't my parents be around long enough to teach me all this?! I could have known if draquonequy were affected by love!

"Discord!" yelped Fluttershy suddenly. "You're hurting me!"

Discord absently looked down at her and realized that his hand was pressing her shoulder hard now and it had become red.

The yellow girl moved aside brusquely and he let go.

"Sorry about..." started Discord before stopping. "Come on we're almost there! Why does this bloody castle have to be so big?"

Fluttershy simply nodded and they continued to the dining room.

There, the mane five were waiting and had disposed plates and food on the table.

They all tensed when the two entered the room but then relaxed as they asked silent questions to Fluttershy.

What the devil are they saying? thought Discord, annoyed at all that happening behind his back.

"Stop it now all of you." he said in a calm voice.

They all put their heads down and lowered their gaze at that.

"Come on now let's eat!" smiled Discord, his cheerful energy coming back at the sight of their submission.

The girls sat down, eyeing him down while eating suspiciously. The silence lasted a long time.

"You're pissing me off!" finally yelled Discord, loosing his temper. "Say something! Start talking!"

"Uh... Uh... Girls how was your... um night?" quickly asked Fluttershy.

"Oh uh... great ya know. We were sleepin' in Twilight's bedroom and we have the beds n' stuff so yeah it was uh... good" mumbled Applejack.

"And yours darling?" said Rarity with a shaky smile.

Fluttershy foze a bit.

Discord looked at her and raised his eyebrow :

"Your friends asked you a question Fluttershy" he said in a dull voice.

"Yes of course s... sorry! It was great! Um... Yeah! Great! S... So um did y.. you all c... c... cook thi... this?" she uttered, her voice shaking and her whole body trembling.

The others looked at her in despair and confusion.

"Yes we did cook this!" said Pinkie, her hair deflating at the sight of her weeping friend. "You like it?"

Fluttershy just made a 'squeak!' noise while sinking deeper in her chair and hiding her face with her hair.

Get those memories away... Come on forget them! You need to be strong in front of your friends! thought the yellow girl.

But it didn't help. The more she fought against them, the more they came back, vivid and terrifying.

She heard her own screams and almost felt his body weight against her stomach again.

Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and stood up. She slammed her hands on the table, making everybody jump.

"Please! Can I leave the table, please!"

Discord looked at her for a while then nodded.

This would be the perfect opportunity to create some chaos...

"Thank you" said Fluttershy, going out the room, almost running.

There was a deep, sickening silence after she left as Discord continued eating.

"Excuse me, Discord?" asked Twilight at some point.

"What?" he replied annoyed.

"Why are you doing all this just because of Fluttershy and a mistake she probably made? You could have dealt with it in a more reasonable way you know..."

"I don't suppose you'd understand Twilight. Never have you fallen in love as deeply as I have. You don't know what it feels like to be betrayed. I'm the Lord of Chaos. I've always got what I've wanted and she didn't want me. Perhaps this is selfish. But I want her to myself.

You should consider yourselves lucky to even see her."

"Yeah you're selfish!" suddenly yelled Rainbow Dash, incapable of holding back her anger any longer. "What you're doing seems more of a baby tantrum than some adult stuff to me!"

Discord clicked his fingers and the cyan winged girl started to scream, rolling from her chair and onto the floor.

The others rushed to her side and after 5 seconds or so, it was over, leaving a panting girl on the crystal floor.

"Rainbow Dash! What are ya stupid?" exclaimed Applejack in concern.

"You could be nicer you know AJ! I just got tortured!"

"Yes I agree with Rainbow Dash! You never are really caring sometimes Applejack" mumbled Rarity.

"I was concerned Rarity!"

"I don't need your pity. I'm not a filly you know!" said Rainbow Dash.

"RD?! Ya gotta be kidding me! Don't tell me you're gonna side with that pesky unicorn?"

"I do beg your pardon?!"

"Hey Applejack! Stop insulting your friends!" joined Pinkie Pie.

"Oh I see what it is! Y'all are conspirin' against me huh?"

"No we're not! You're just a jerk!"

"How could you call me pesky?!"

"'Cause that's what ya are Rarity!"

"Applejack! You're becoming like Gilda! Please with sugar and cupcakes on top will you stop?!"

"I ain't doin' anything Pinkie! You're even on their side when I tried to defend you!"

"But...!"

Discord stood up, smirking and wiping his mouth with is tail before leaving, enjoying all the chaos and confusion that was provoking. It was energizing him, making him feel like the king. And he liked it.

Forget! Forget! He was your friend but that changed... Forget! was all Fluttershy could think while she ran through the castle. Maybe I should try and leave... Let's see... Where am I...? The castle doors should be... there!

She arrived in front of them and opened them wide... before almost falling to her death.

Oh yeah we're floating. Right.

She uselessly flapped her wings.

I definitively couldn't fly down there...

"Thinking about escaping aren't you?" said somebody behind her.

No...

"Let go of me please" mumbled Fluttershy, cringing at the feeling of his hands around her waist.

"You left me at breakfast to deal with your friends. I can at least hug you my dear".

"Please let us go... Please!"

"You're annoying me Fluttershy!" he scolded her, making her lean forward.

"What are you doing?!" she squealed, seeing that she was now halfway out of the castle, almost dangling in thin air.

"I told you not to ask me those questions anymore" he said in an alarmingly calm voice.

"Stop!" shouted Fluttershy as he lifted her up and held her by the waist over the edge. Her feet weren't even touching the ground anymore.

Wind was blowing through her hair, making it messy and her eyes were full of fear.

"What if I just... let go?" he asked, mocking.

"P... Please!" she yelled, terror overwhelming her.

Fluttershy didn't think and wrapped her arms around his neck to insure that she wouldn't fall. She pressed against him with all her might and he retreated inside the castle, doors closing behind them with a big 'thud!'.

Discord didn't say a word. He was too shocked.

She was hanging on to him. It felt really good. He liked it.

The feeling of her giant breasts against his shirt was wonderful.

I'm liking this!

"I just want to ask why you're saying that I'm pesky!"

"Because ya are! End of story!"

"That isn't an answer!"

"But you still could of said something else after I got tortured!"

"I'm going to ask this one. last. time! Why do you hate 'please with sugar and cupcakes on top' ?!"

"I never said that!"

"UGH! GIRLS! STOP. FIGHTING!"

They all looked at Twilight.

Then realized that Discord was gone.

Then remembered what she had said about the fact that he would feed off chaos.

Then sighted.

"Oh no! I cannot believe we fell for that again!" huffed Rarity. "I'm so sorry girls!"

"Yeah me too!"

"Same here."

"Yep! I'm sugary sorry too!"

"Good" said Twilight. "Discord was happy that you were all fighting. We should go look for Fluttershy as long as there's still a chance that she's alone."

The others nodded and they got up.

"So... I was wonderin' somethin' Twi. How come you never start arguing with us?" asked Applejack while they were walking through the castle.

"I guess its because I dont forget that he gets stronger every time we fight unlike you."

"Yeah probably. And..."

They heard a loud 'thud' in the distance.

"That was the main doors!" exclaimed Twilight. "Maybe Fluttershy escaped!"

"Or fell" muttered Rarity while they ran towards the noise... and came upon a very weird scene.

Fluttershy was hanging on to Discord. Or hugging him.

Her eyes were shut tight and she was pressed against him.

He on the other hand seemed shocked and happy.

When he saw them staring, he winked at them and said :

"I love you too"

"W... What?!" she exclaimed, opening her eyes as he put her down.

"I said I loved you too Fluttershy".

"Fluttershy??!!" gasped all her friends behind her.

"Huh? Girls?! W... What are you doing here?!" squealed Fluttershy, blushing.

"The more appropriate question would be, what are you doing in that beast's arms?!"

"It was a big misunderstanding!"

"I can't believe ya Fluttershy! How could ya?!" said Applejack, shocked to the core.

"I didn't!"

"Oh come on dear! You can drop the act in front of them!" smirked Discord.

"Act?" asked Pinkie.

"N... No!"

"How could you just forget Spike like that?"

"Wait!"

"I really didn't think you'd do this Fluttershy..."

"Its not that!"

"Alright out! Everybody out!" interfered Discord. "We need to spend some time alone..."

"No! Wait before you..."

Too late. Discord had already teleported the girls to someplace else.

"How could you Discord?!" said Fluttershy, turning to him. "They're going to think that I love you!"

That stung. That stung hard.

"Don't you talk to me like that!"

"I can talk to you any way I want if you mess with my friends!"

"That's it!" yelled Discord. "I have something to do tonight so we're just going to have to do this now!"

"Do... Do...this??" mutterred Fluttershy, her courage once again fading.

"Yep! Come on! And this time you're not going to stop me!" he scolded, snapping his fingers.

They appeared in the bedroom she feared so much.

"Now my dear, come here..."

"N... No!"

"Ya really think she loves him?" asked Applejack.

"How am I supposed to know what relationship they have ?!" muttered Rainbow.

"Yeah! What do you think she was thinking hugging him?! I mean she knows he's a meany right?!" chirped Pinkie, rolling in the grass.

They had been teleported to a little garden behind the castle. There was a force field all around it but they could see the fluffy pink clouds around them.

"I wonder why Celestia isn't doing anything..." murmured Rarity.

"We're talking about Discord here. He's capable of overpowering the princesses" said Twilight.

"I just hope Fluttershy's okay no matter what side she's on..." whispered Applejack.

"Celestiadamm! Stop moving will you?!" shouted Discord. "I can't attach you!"

"No!" panted Fluttershy, jumping on the bed to try and escape him but she lost her balance and fell.

"Aha!" exclaimed Discord. He clicked his fingers and she found herself attached so tight that she had trouble breathing. "Okay! Now business!"

He undid his belt and got his member out. Then he snapped his fingers and her dress disappeared.

Then he fondled her breasts, and sucked on them, making them go hard.

"You naughty girl! You're getting exited..."

"I'm not..." she sobbed, tears streaming down her face.

He then made her panties disappear and sat on her.

"Now I'm going to make you suck this okay? If you ever think of biting it..."

"No please Discord!" yelled Fluttershy with all her voice.

He shut her up by putting his dick in her mouth.

She started to suck on it, her body shaking she was crying so hard.

Then he took it out and turned her over, on her stomach before penetrating her pussy with his hard member. At first slowly putting it in and out and then faster and faster.

A moan escaped Fluttershy's mouth despite her efforts to hold it back. Then another moan came and before long she was screaming.

It lasted for about two hours and Fluttershy had passed unconscious twice before he had given her energy to continue. She had cried and screamed so much that she was just silent and dull at the end.

"Right!" panted Discord. "I'm out for tonight my sweet! See you later..." and he vanished, leaving a broken girl behind.

Almost! Almost! thought Spike as he started to dig more and more, getting closer to the vent.

Just a little more... Yes!

He had managed to dig up to the vent.

Okay now to get out of here!

He jumped up and crawled through the tunnel he had dug.

Spike pushed the vent and it fell to the floor. He squeezed himself out and came into a room.

I made it!

5. Hope?

Oh Celestia thank you! I'm out! I'm really out! was all Spike could happily think about while he was doing a silence dance.

His stomach growled.

Two days with no food... Don't know how I survived that!

Spike squinted his eyes in the semi darkness, wondering where he was. He saw a bed. A table. A chair.

He tiptoed towards the table, hoping whoever slept here had some food.

To his joy, he saw a bowl of fruit and devoured what was inside.

Food, check! Now the girls! thought Spike.

He remembered when he had heard Discord almost rape Fluttershy. It had been the most horrible thing ever... hearing her scream and beg for mercy.

They often come in this room, he realized. Maybe they sleep here?

Spike focused his attention on the sound. He heard a faint breathing. Too faint to be Discord's... then maybe that meant one of the girls slept here!

He silently crept towards the bed and peeked at the sheets.

In the moonlight, he saw pink hair and yellow skin... He knew too much those two colors to be mistaking.

"Fluttershy!" he whisper-shouted, full of joy. "Fluttershy it's me, Spike!"

"W... Wha?? Who is... Wait... Spike??!!"

"Yes it's..." started Spike before being jumped on by Fluttershy. She gave him a huge hug, almost chocking him and pressed her lips against his for a few seconds.

It was nice to be in the arms of the one you loved... except when you're about to be snuggled to death.

"F... F... Flutters! I... I'm...!"

"Oh! I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed, releasing her tight grip on him. "I just needed to kiss someone else than... Never mind. Where were you?!"

"Under your room! I escaped through the vent..." smiled Spike.

"Y... You heard then..." blushed Fluttershy, as embarrassed as ever.

"Yeah... But don't worry. I heard that you overpowered him and he didn't do anything else than traumatize you!"

"Um... Yeah" frowned Fluttershy.

She wondered why he hadn't heard them last night... Maybe Discord had silenced the room or something... Wait... Discord!

"Spike! Discord could be back any minute! I need to hide you!"

"But... But what about the girls?!" he protested. "If you're saying he's out, that could be our only chance to be able to see them!"

Fluttershy lowered her head. It was a risk they just had to take!

"Okay, let's go!"

They both ran out of the room.

"Twilight said they were sleeping in her room" said Fluttershy, turning left as Spike was following behind her, 'admiring' the new decor.

"So tell me what happened while I was imprisoned" asked Spike.

"Discord has turned the others into maids and tortures them horribly when they disobey him. He pretended that I loved him yesterday- or today, I have no idea what time it is- and the girls got mad at me... He also doesn't plan on letting us go..." sighted Fluttershy.

"He's just a bucking idiot!" mumbled Spike. "He locked me up and didn't feed me for two days..."

"How did you survive that?!" giggled the yellow mare, making another left.

"I was just wondering that too" smiled Spike.

They stopped in front of a big wooden door. Fluttershy knocked and heard whispers of fear behind it.

"Um... Girls?" she asked cautiously.

The whispers stopped and the door opened.

"Fluttershy!" exclaimed Twilight happily.

The others gathered round and gave her a big hug, smiling and laughing at being finally reunited.

Spike stepped forward and brought even more joy.

"Come on in!" chirped Pinkie.

They all sat down on the mattresses on the floor and Twilight explained what they had found out.

"So, we've discovered that Discord is feeding on chaos..."

Spike and Fluttershy gasped.

"Why do you think that?" asked Spike, interested.

"We've all been fighting a lot more than usual lately. And Discord seems to enjoy it. Even thought it's our only lead, we're hanging on to it."

"It could be used as an advantage..." thought Fluttershy out loud.

"Explain..." Twilight tilted her head in curiosity.

"Oh, I have no plan but I was thinking that maybe if he is weak, then all his defenses could disappear and we would be able to get out...?"

"That's a good plan Flutters but you forgot one thing, we're up in the air and we can't fly!" frowned Rainbow.

"Unless... Unless we glide down there!" exclaimed Twilight, her mind racing. "We simply have to float to the ground!"

"And what about Pinkie, Rarity and me? How are we supposed to get down there with no wings?" muttered Applejack.

"Oh yeah... We could uh... transport you on our backs?" suggested the purple princess.

"No way! The wind is unpredictable!" opposed Rainbow Dash, "I could take somebody because I'm an experienced flyer but you two couldn't!"

"Who could you take?" asked Rarity.

"You I guess because you're always going on diets".

"Right, so that's Rarity, Twilight, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. What about the others?" Spike put an arm around Fluttershy, happy to know that at least she would be safe.

"Wait! Y'all aren't seriously thinkin' about doing that are ya? It's madness!"

"It's our only chance Applejack... Who knows what that monster could be thinking?" said a gloomy Twilight.

A silence followed the end of her sentence before Rarity suddenly sat up excitedly.

"Ideaaaaaa!" she squealed Fluttershy-like. "I could levitate somebody with my horn while riding on Rainbow's back!"

"As I said, madness." repeated the cowgirl.

"Think about it Applejack! I always levitate lots of mannequins for my work in the boutique! It will be quite easy to do so with another girl!"

"Rarity! Our horns don't work remember?" sighted Twilight.

"Yes! But what if the spell that was cast on us goes down at the same time Discord and his defense do?"

"That's a... possibility..."

"If that works, then it means we'll be able to um... fly! And it would be easier right?" hesitated Fluttershy.

"Yay!" chirped Pinkie. "It's gonna be SOOOO cool!"

"That would mean I could levitate somebody too! Now we've got everybody out except Spike..."

"That's easy silly!! I can just modify the plan a little! Now, Rainbow Dash is gonna fly down with Rarity on her back and Rarity is going to be levitating Applejack. Then, Twilight is gonna be flying down too while levitating Spike! And finally, Fluttershy will glide silently to the ground!" finished Pinkie, smiling to her ears.

"And you?" asked Spike.

Pinkie smiled deviously and turned to Twilight. "You still have those balloons in your closet from the 'super duper crazy-licious party for no absolute reason' party?"

"Uh yeah. You gave me like 6 packs of 20 balloons!" smiled Twilight at the memory, but then she frowned in horror. "No way! It's so dangerous!"

"Uh... What is dangerous?" asked Rainbow, raising an eyebrow.

"I'm gonna float down with my balloons!"

"What?!" they all shouted in shock.

"Darling, you can't possibly..." started Rarity.

"It might work" interrupted Applejack with a shrug.

"You're kidding me!" muttered Spike.

"Hey! It's our only chance okay? And I don't like this idea anymore than you do but I also don't wanna leave someone behind! Besides, it's Pinkie girls. She's probably done this a thousand times!"

"You're right Applejack!" whispered Fluttershy. "I don't want to leave anybody behind in the hands of that... monster!"

"Then it's settled. We all have our escape routes. Now we just have to prepare!" Twilight stood up with a determined look. "Fluttershy, do you know where Discord sleeps?"

"Yes. But he isn't in the castle right now. I think he left for the night! That's how we got the opportunity to see you girls".

"Perfect! We're going to form teams. Pinkie, you, Applejack and Rarity go get the balloons. Spike, Fluttershy and the rest of us will go see every window and exit that we can find to see which is the best issue."

They all nodded and exited the room, taking separate directions.

"So Fluttershy, something has been bugging me about what happened today" said Twilight in a hesitant voice.

Fluttershy froze.

"We believe you! And we're sorry we overreacted at that" quickly added Rainbow, seeing her friend's discomfort.

"But... We just wanted to know why you were in his arms..." completed Twilight.

"In who's arms? What happened?" suddenly asked Spike. "Did you...?"

"No! No! I didn't cheat on you Spike! I would never do that with my free will!" opposed Fluttershy. "I'm glad to finally tell you what happened."

Why did she say that she would never cheat on me with her... free will?!

"I was wondering if I couldn't escape through the main doors but I had forgotten that we were floating. Then Discord came up behind me and took my waist. He was angry at the fact that I kept asking for him to let us go so he held me up and let me dangle from the castle into thin air. I was so scared that my only reflex was to hang on to him. I wasn't hugging him."

"That's good to know!" smirked Rainbow. "We'll tell the others later."

Fluttershy nodded and Spike made a mental note to himself to question her later on what she had said.

"Rainbow, you check out all the high windows. I'll guide Spike and Fluttershy to the back garden" ordered Twilight.

The cyan girl nodded and went the opposite direction while they continued towards the garden where the girls had been teleported.

"You're thinking about escaping through here??" asked Spike, putting his hand on the invisible force field.

"Why not? And there is a giant flower bush there. You could hide in here".

"Why?"

"We need to weaken Discord" thought Twilight out loud, "It means that the only way to do that would be to... use violence against him".

"That seems like a good idea" smiled Spike, cracking his knuckles. "A little revenge will be appreciated."

"When we give you the signal, you're going to jump out and punch him" mumbled Twilight, the plan coming into view. "I am ordering you to do this. Punch him as hard as you can and don't forget to make him weak. Then, if we're lucky, we'll be able to get out and be safe. Fluttershy, I want you to find a pretext to get him over here tomorrow. Tell him we will be there too. Understood you two?"

"Yep"

"Yes..."

"I'm going to meet the others back in my room. I think it's preferable that Spike goes back in his dungeon for the night."

"Right. See you tomorrow!" nodded Spike, turning around followed by Fluttershy.

Twilight watched them leave. What has that monster done to you Flutters?

Fluttershy seemed ever so slightly different than before.

She wasn't looking around her with fear in the gloomy black and red castle like she should of done- considering she was Fluttershy.

Instead, she was walking strait towards the room, her head high and with a determined face.

"Fluttershy?" asked Spike, stopping. "Earlier you said that you would never cheat on me with your free will. I was wondering what that meant."

"Oh... Spike about that... It's... hard... I... I... I... Oh dear..." were the only words she could manage to say before falling to the floor.

Spike rushed towards her and kneeled in front. He saw a tear fall to the crystal ground.

"What is it Fluttershy? I'm sorry if I said anything that..."

"You didn't do anything!" she sobbed loudly, anger in her voice. "It's me! I'm so weak... Discord... Discord r... raped... me.

And I couldn't do anything about that! When I look at you all... I see that I'm no use here... You dug a way through a wall to help me. The girls survived torture to help me. You almost starved to death because of me! It's me! It's always me! I'm the reason we're all in this mess to begin with! I'm the responsable one here and what have I been doing about it? Nothing! Absolutely nothing!"

Spike just... stared at her. Never had he seen Fluttershy so angry, frustrated and confused at herself.

She had screamed the last part of her dialogue and was hitting the floor with her fists, crying as hard as ever.

Spike took her in his arms.

"Babe, you are the best girl around to me and yours friends. I think that's enough. Stop trying to blame everything onto yourself okay? Remember that we all love you and the one thing you could ever do to let us down, is to let yourself down. Do you understand me?"

"Y... Yes"

"I don't exactly want to know what that monster did to you, I know that you would never cheat on me.

And your trust in enough. Besides, we have a great plan to escape. It's all going to work out."

Fluttershy smiled through her tears as she returned the hug.

"Thank you" she whispered, closing her eyes.

"So you're just gonna jump out there with those balloons ?? How are you going to inflate them in time?" frowned Rainbow Dash to Pinkie Pie after Twilight had explained the plan to all of them.

"I'll be fine Dashie! Don't ya worry your little um... your little rainbows! Or whatever it is that we say!" chirped Pinkie.

"This better work gals. If it doesn't, we're gonna be in for a big punishment!" moaned Applejack, worried about the sake of her friends.

"Yes Applejack is right... Who knows what he will do to us if the plan fails?" murmured Rarity, looking down.

The others shared a look of concern.

Their plan better work or they may as well say goodbye to the living.

6. Escape!

Discord flew over to the castle.

He was quite proud of it actually.

The floating thing had been completely modified.

It's walls were now black and red, sign of his anger when he had first changed it.

It was also protected by a force bubble. The ponies inside couldn't see the outside and vice versa.

As Discord approached it, he noticed a familiar white alicorn, shooting blasts at it.

Discord chuckled and got closer, not being able to resist the urge to brag.

"Hello there Princess!" he shouted wearing a big smile on his face. "Having a bit of a problem?"

Celestia turned to him, her surprise turning into anger as she saw the one who had kidnapped the princess of Friendship and her friends.

She blasted fire at him and he ducked, separating his head from his body to show off.

"Celestia?" he asked casually. "Where's Lulu?"

"That is none of your business Discord!" she raged. "Now release Princess Twilight and her friends at once!"

Discord put his head back on his body and sighted. "You never learned. You never learned how much fury I had when I took over Equestria just because you rejected my love.

That's why you couldn't anticipate the fact that I fell in love with someone and she rejected me too of course.

I decided to kidnap this time... All because of you!"

Celestia flinched and Discord saw another alicorn appear behind her.

"Do not feel sorry for yourself dear sister!" exclaimed Luna. "He's a manipulative... idiot!"

"Oh dear... Such words hurt me!" The draquonecus gave Luna a fake pouty face then smirked. "You didn't seem to dislike me as much that night..."

"Stop Discord... No more!" yelled Luna, turning red.

"Why the only words I heard from you were 'Oh Discord... Harder...!"

"Stop this!" Luna was blushing furiously now.

"Did you really...?" Celestia gave a weird look to her sister.

"I was drunk..." muttered the Princess of the night.

Discord chuckled again and decided it was time to disappear.

He teleported in the castle in a flash, laughing at Luna's face.

"Priceless... Priceless!"

The draquonecus heard a small snoozing sound and turned to look at Fluttershy.

Discord got closer and was about to wake her up for more 'fun' but then he saw her face.

She was smiling.

Why is she having a happy dream? Did she go to bed happy after what I did to her? That would be weird...

That troubled Discord as he simply got to bed, forgetting what he had came for in the first place.

The most annoying thing about her was that she was draining his powers.

He had gone out that night to create minor chaos to Ponyville. Random jokes and all just to get his spirit high.

Discord drifted to sleep, still confused.

"Discord! Wake up!" A cheerful voice pulled him from his slumber.

"What?" he groaned sharply.

"I'm hungry! Please let's go eat!"

Discord opened his eyes and sat up, looking at Fluttershy.

She was dressed and seemed to be happy.

"What happened to you?" muttered the draquonecus.

"What do you mean?"

"Why are you so exited?"

Her expression changed and she lowered her gaze.

"I'm pregnant."

Discord just stared at her.

Blinked.

Then :

"Wot?!"

"I don't exactly want to talk about it..."

"You're... You're kidding me!" Discord was hesitating between joy and fright.

He finally decided to play it cool and simply said that they should go eat breakfast.

"Um... Actually Discord I was wondering if we could have a picnic outside to celebrate? With the girls?"

Fluttershy held her breath as she felt Discord's glare intensifying.

"Why would you want to celebrate us having a baby?"

"I have a person in my stomach. Even if that child is from you, I want to cherish it."

You've gotta be kidding me... What am I supposed to say??

"Let's just... Go eat. I'll ask the girls to prepare something."

Then Discord disappeared and Fluttershy took in a gulp of air.

"Okay Spike! You can come out now!"

Spike emerged from the vent.

"It's the last time I'm crawling out from that thing..." he muttered.

"I'm sure it will be."

Then Spike's face took a happy expression.

"That idiot is so stupid that he doesn't even know that you get can't pregnant that fast! Good plan!"

"I know..." The yellow girl chuckled. "Now come on out! And keep out of sight..."

"Duh."

Spike left quickly, already fearing that Discord would come back.

If this doesn't work...

Twilight took a deep breath.

"Girls! Hurry up! Discord will surely be here soon... And don't forget to look gloomy!"

The others nodded and just as they were finishing putting their maid outfits on, Discord appeared.

Twilight gave him a mean glare but the draquonecus didn't seem to notice.

He asked them to make a small picnic for later on and just... disappeared.

"That was fast..." Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow.

"I wonder if Spike and Fluttershy thought of another plan to destabilize him or something..." Twilight was thinking out loud.

"Yeah who cares anyway? The guy is weaker! We're gonna be able to pull this off as easily as buckin' apples in an orchard!"

"I agree with that! Now come on! The sooner we get the picnic done, the sooner we can escape... I hope!" Rarity said with a big smile.

They all approved and walked out the room, anticipation mixing with fear.

Spike had no absolute idea what had happened.

He just knew that know, he was stuck between a crystal pillar and the wall, squeezed to death (sort of).

Discord had almost seen him but 'luckily' Spike had found that hiding place.

And now he regretted it.

"I didn't eat for two days... How am I stuck in this??" muttered the purple dragon. "If I got in, I should be able to get out..."

But no. He couldn't move even a finger.

Panic took over as he realized that he may not be in the garden in time if he got stuck in there.

Somebody... Anybody! Help meeeeee!

Fluttershy was walking with Discord through the corridors.

She was falling behind for he was walking fast and seemed lost in his thoughts.

He didn't even notice when she tripped and fell only to get up as quickly.

The yellow girl was staring to get worried about Discord's behavior... Maybe he was pondering what she had said and would discover that she didn't actually say the truth?

Fluttershy shook herself.

No time for negative thoughts! Oh! Did Discord start repainting the walls purple...? And... green??

Fluttershy got closer and almost screamed when she noticed a face.

"Spike!" she whispered furiously,"What are you doing here?!"

"I'm stuck" whimpered Spike, feeling embarrassed.

Fluttershy looked at Discord and quickly pulled him out, gave him a peck on the cheek and walked back to her 'master'.

They both arrived in the garden at the exact same time as the girls.

"You could've come earlier" mumbled a grumpy Discord.

"Sorry" Pinkie Pie seemed happy and forgiving this morning.

Actually... They all seemed joyful this morning...

Discord sat down in the grass, wondering why he had accepted to do this.

"So... Um... Should we tell them?" Fluttershy smiled to him.

"Tell us what?" Rainbow could feel something bad was happening.

"I'm... pregnant..."

A shocked silence met those words.

The girls were struggling to keep their confusion down, wondering if what she had said was real or not.

Twilight winked at them, completely understanding Spike and Fluttershy's plan.

"Really?! I'm so happy for you Fluttershy!" she exclaimed with glee.

Immediately, the others caught the plan and started to congratulate her, putting all their fake joy and happiness in it.

Discord just looked at them confused.

Where was their chaos? Why weren't they surprised? Why is everyone happy today?!

The draquonecus opened his mouth to tell them to shut up when a shadow was cast over him.

He didn't have time to turn around before something hit him and he fell onto the grass...

Ugh Celestia why?! I may be ruining the whole plan! I should've arrived before they did so that I had plenty of time to hide!

But now I have to cross the whole garden while they're in it!

Spike was looking at the group with fright.

He finally came to the decision to risk it and crawled forward.

He took another peek at the girls sitting down and made sure Discord wasn't facing him before continuing.

The grass was long (thank Celestia!) and he could easily hide in it.

It took him about a minute to arrive behind the bush.

He was shaking with fear and relief.

Now I just have to jump up and hit him... Easier said than done!

Spike wondered when to do it.

Then he heard Fluttershy announce to all that she was pregnant.

Come on... Get the hint! Don't believe her! thought Spike, gritting his teeth.

Thankfully, Twilight understood and the rest followed.

Sighting with relief, Spike then realized it was the perfect moment to strike.

He jumped out and quickly bashed Discord on the head.

The girls stopped talking for the time were Discord fell to the floor.

He didn't get up.

"Yeah! Way to go Spike!" Rainbow was the first to cheer.

"Good job partner!"

"Yeepeeeee!"

"I always knew you could do it Spikey Wikey!"

"Yay...!"

"Girls shush! He only fainted! And the protection bubble still hasn't disappeared!"

They all turned to it and gasped.

"But... Then what are we going to do?" Pinkie's hair deflated.

"I don't-"

"Look! It's disappearing!"

They looked back and saw that it was starting to get weaker.

"Come on girls! There's not a moment to spare! We've got to stick to the plan!" Twilight started to run towards the disappearing force field. "Rarity! Get on Rainbow's back! Fluttershy, prepare to plunge! Spike come here, I'm levitating you! Applejack go next to Rarity! Pinkie! Uh... Do your balloon thingy!"

They obeyed and soon, we're all ready.

"Okay... You good Rarity?" Rainbow stretched her legs.

"Y... Yes! Applejack, focus your gaze on mine okay Darling?"

"Eeyup!"

"Then let's go!"

Rainbow Dash jumped into the sky and glided down.

"I'm next!" Twilight jumped too and levitated Spike with her.

"Come on Fluttershy! Jump!" Pinkie's cheerful voice wasn't enough to get her out her trance.

"B... But I'm terrified! What if I fall?"

"You have wings silly! Now jump like jelly in a donut!"

"W... What? Oh never mind! Let's go..."

Fluttershy opened her wings and was about to jump when she heard someone grunting behind her.

She turned and saw Discord getting up.

"What are you...?"

Fluttershy jumped after Pinkie Pie without thinking.

She flapped her wings and managed to not fall.

Then she felt something engulf her.

Then she saw Discord jumping at her.

Celestia was tired.

She couldn't even stand on her feet anymore...

She looked one last time out the window and saw something falling from it the castle.

And it was blue.

And red.

And purple.

And green.

And other colors of the rainbow.

Rainbow Dash! And... Twilight Sparkle?! They need help!

Celestia threw a magic blast with the last of her strength and passed out, hoping that they would be okay.

Just as Discord was about to jump on her, he was blocked by a magic substance that threw him off.

Fluttershy lived the last few seconds of her flight as hell and finally landed next to her friends.

They all gave each other a big hug.

"Look!" yelled Applejack, pointing at the castle.

It was disappearing! It was slowly fading away in the sun.

Cheers of joy were heard everywhere as the citizens of Ponyville came out to congratulate them.

Discord was watching all of that.

His pain and humiliation was unbearable.

"I'll be back... I'll be back and I swear to bucking Celestia that you'll pay..." he muttered under his breath before disappearing.

Epilogue :

The mane six finally recovered from their trauma and lived happily ever after or something.

At least that's how you wish the story would end.

But it didn't. It didn't at all.
