My Dear Silver
Chapter 9: Silver, meet draconequus.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs I woke up the next morning, comfy in my pajamas. I looked over to the bed next to me. Empty. Good! Now I can relax know that Discord is... on the ceiling? What on earth is he doing up there. I pick up one of his pillows and throw it at him. He doesn't budge. Another pillow. Still nothing! How does he even do that? I mean, isn't he defying the laws of gravity and phys- Ohhh wait... magic. I guess my brain is just not in the mood to process these things this morning.
As I slowly crawl out of my bed, I wonder if the creature above would end up falling on me. I shook that thought off with ease and headed out the bedroom door. Time for breakfast. I head over to the kitchen and start preparing my morning meal. Eggs, toast, carrots and juice, same as every morning here. As I take my plate to the table, I seat myself and dig in. I know Fluttershy is awake because it's the animal's feeding time. I don't understand how she can do this every morning.
Nonetheless everyday I give her praise for such hard work. Maybe I'll get her breakfast this morning. Lets see... she likes salad! I look around and start listing the ingredients.
"Lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, Discord" I stop and turn to the draconequus, "Uhhh..."
He is laying on the counter, facing me with the prettiest face he could... Still needs improvement.
"Oh, I don't think I want to be salad" He stats, sarcastically, "Maybe soup, but deferentially not salad."
"Really?" I ask, annoyed.
"Well maybe not soup either bu-" I cut him off.
"What do you want, Discord?" I ask, looking away from him.
"Look, I'll level with you" He says (Oh, this is gonna be funny), "Fluttershy wants us to be friends. So we are gonna spend some time together and get to know one another."
I look back at him with a crazy smile. I let loose a chuckle. It turns into giggling... then into laughter and straight to the floor.
"Flutter-Fluttershy is forcing you to- HAHAHAHA!!!" I couldn't stop laughing. He was taking orders from Fluttershy! I mean, anyone else I see the reason why but HIM?! This is priceless!
"Yes, yes I laughed to" He rolls his eyes, "It's funny how someone so shy can be so... commanding!"
"Ok! I'll spend time with you just stop making me laugh like this." I'm still rolling on the floor.
I start to get up so I can meet him at eye level. He still towers over me, so he bends over and looks at me face to face.
"Right, so I've planned a day for us to spend together an-" I cut him off again.
"Wait... do you mind if I bring someone? I promise she is nice and will like you!" I ask, in a begging tone.
He put his claw to his chin, then started humming. After a brief moment of thought, he put a paw on my shoulder and smiled.
"The fact you can trust me with the task of meeting with one of your friends" He says, excited,"proves that you trust me. Alright."
I do a few mental fist pumps and thank him. He waves it off as if saying it was no problem. I head in the room and change into my room to change out of my night wear. I slip on my jeans, t-shirt and running shoes and head back out to the living room. I looked around for Discord again and he seems to have disappeared. Wait a minute. I look up to see a smiling draconequus. I gesture him to follow me and without another word, he follows me out the door and on the road.
As we head into town, a lot of the ponies seem to be nervous seeing Discord around town like this. I guess they still are unsure about him after all that he has done, but since I don't know exactly WHAT he has done, I think I can deal with him. We start closing in on the 'Silver Bell' gift shop and Discord gives me a puzzled look. I just gave him a 'Trust me' look and he nodded with a smile. I walked inside to see the same mare I saw the other day.
She looked up from the counter where she was polishing a nice silver collar bell. She placed it in a box marked 'To Carousel Boutique' and pushed it to the side. She gave me a hoof/hand shake and pointed her hoof upwards. I nodded and she smiled. As she walked upstairs, I looked over at Discord outside the window. He had no idea what I was doing. A minute later I heard small hooves trotting down the stairs. Here comes Silver. They stop as I see an adorable muzzle look around the corner to see if it was me. She smiled and ran the rest of the way down. As she leaped at me, I embraced the little filly in a heartwarming hug. I put her down to notice she is already packed for the day.
"You knew I was coming?" I asked.
"Yep" She smiled and nodded, "I saw you and him out the window upstairs."
She pointed towards Discord as he hid behind the wall. We both giggled and walked out to greet him.
"Discord, Silver Spoon. Silver Spoon, Discord." I smile between them.
He hold out his claw and Silver was more than happy to return the gesture with her hoof. As they shook, I decided to start walking to see if they would follow me. They didn't notice I was gone until I hid around the corner. They were both calling out my name trying to find me. I dashed and grabbed Silver and hid again, putting finger over my lip to signal her to stay quiet. She nodded and smiled to let me know she understood.
Discord was flying around to find me, panicking. I laughed a bit which led me to my demise. I felt myself disappear again and when I blinked, I saw a smug draconequus looking right at me. Silver was so excited, she started bouncing around me in joy. I stopped her and gave her a small scratch behind her ear. She gave me a little coo to signal she was enjoying it.
Discord had explained to us that we were going into the Everfree forest so he could use his chaos freely. Silver shook a bit but I picked he up and comforted her to let her know that It would be alright. She took a deep breath and nodded, as Discord smiled. With all our fear out of the way, we slowly made our way to the forest. As we started to leave Ponyville, Silver hopped up onto my back and held on tight. I didn't mind carrying her since she was so light. I turned my head to talk to her.
"You gonna be alright, Sil?" I asked.
She seemed to blush at the nickname I gave her. She shook it off and nodded with a smile. I returned the gesture and turned back to look at Discord.
"If she gets hurt, I'm telling Flutters!" I strictly tell the draconequus.
"She will be safe." He replies.
This seems to ease some of the tension between us. I'm honestly glad for it to. For the first time in my life, I can say I have befriended a beautiful girl and a mixed demigod. In every way, this was freaking awesome!
