Castle, Dull Castle

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.
