" Is there anything I can do for you, Discord?" asked Fluttershy.
" I supposed not.. I'm already feeling SO much better since you kindly agreed to let me stay.."
" Oh, that's not a problem,really.. it's just what friends do.." she smiled. Angel nudged her leg. " Yes, Angel Bunny?"
Angel gave her a piece of paper. " Oh, right.. there's a lot to do today,"she glanced at Discord. "Discord..I have so awfully lot work to do today, I hope you don't mind if I left you here for a few minutes.." apologised Fluttershy.
"But I though, friends are supposed to spend time with each other.." said Discord, giving a pair of CUTE eyes. Fluttershy looked very worried. "Well, fine..but ONLY for a few minutes..in A condition that you granted all my requests.."
"Well, that shouldn't be so hard..okay, then.. I'll be going to Carousel Boutique to check on Opal,now..make yourself at home!" Fluttershy said before stepping out of the cottage.
" Just a minute PLEASE Fluttershy.." called Discord.
"Yes?" she asked.
" Can you please take that book right over there for me?"
"Um, can't you take it yourself?"asked Fluttershy.
" Why, of course not! I'm awfully sick now that I can't even move a single muscle!" Discord answered dramatically.
Fluttershy took the book Discord mentioned and gently gave it to him."Thank you, my dear Fluttershy.."
"You're very welcome,Discord. Now, I must go.."
****************************************************************************************
"Oh, thank goodness Opal only had a splinter in her paw.." sighed Fluttershy as she entered her cottage.
"Fluttershy......."shouted Discord.
"Yes,Discord?"
"Can you please shoo away your animals,I can barely even see the Sun!"he said, pointing towards the animals surrounding the window.
"Um, excuse me..if you don't mind..can you please give Discord some light,please?"
The animals all moved from the window. "Oh yes, and can you PLEASE read me this story?It's naptime for me, but I couldn't even shut my eye."Discord showed Fluttershy the book he asked to take earlier.
"Oh, sure..but,um..it's an encyclopedia,Discord. It has 204 pages..do I have to read it all?Besides, I still have a lot to do"
"But..I thought we've made a deal that you will grant every request.."said Discord, making his cute eyes again.
"We..did made that deal..Oh,alright..I still can't believe you're interested in reading encyclopedia."she said as she flipped the pages open.
"Well, if Twilight can read boring fact books then why can't I?"
Fluttershy chuckled."Okay,now.."she cleared her throat before reading the book.
***********************************************************************************************************
"Oh, I gotta go check on the frogs at Froggybottom Bog now, I hope no monsters gets in the way again.." Fluttershy said before laughing a little.
"Fluttershy!!!!!!"
"Discord?" she ran towards her friend.
" I feel just so terrible..it's almost past my naptime and I couldn't sleep yet..perhaps you can sing a..well,lullaby?" Discord pleaded.
"Well.."
Discord stared at her desperately. "Okay..".After singing a lullaby for Discord for 45 minutes with her airy,sweet voice, Fluttershy covered Discord with a blanket. Suddenly, she rememberd that she's late for her works. She quickly flew to Froggybottom Bog, leaving Discord alone.
***************************************************************************************************************
"Oh, you poor little thing..I should have come sooner huh? I'm SO sorry.. It's just that there's this sick friend of mine..but I don't blame him.." said Fluttershy as she brings in about 10 injured frogs in a basket.
"Fluttershy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Discord, what's wrong?"
"This is a disaster...the blanket..is Blue!!"shouted Discord dramatically.
"Um, so..what's the problem?"
"Like I said...it's BLUE!!!!!!"
"Um,yes..I mean, what's wrong with the colour blue?"Fluttershy asked curiously.
"Are you kidding me? Yellow is my favourite colour,not blue... This blanket had caused a major disaster in my naptime!!!"
"Oh,that's terrible.."said Fluttershy.
"It IS terrible..so you will have to read the story and sing the lullaby all over again.."
"O..kay.."
******************************************************************************************************************
"According to the scientists.."just as she was about to finish, Discord interrupted.
"On second though, Fluttershy..Can you please read THIS for me this time?" During that time, Fluttershy had already read 201 out of 204 pages.
"Why of course!" Fluttershy took the book before reading the title."A..dictionary?"
"Why.yes.."
"654 pages..okay.."
After a few hours,Fluttershy finally finished reading, even if she actually doesn't understand a thing she's reading. "Now.."she yawned. "the lullaby"
After that,Discord finally went to nap."Angel..can you find me a yellow blanket please?".Angel took a yellow blanket and Fluttershy wrapped it around Discord. "Oh my goodness..it's almost dusk..and I still have a lot to do.."
**************************************************************************************************************
Fluttershy was at Sweet Apple Acres, trying to control the animals from eating Applejack's apples without permission. "Oh,no..mister..that's not very polite..you should've just came to me so I could ask permission from Applejack to eat these apples."The rabbit looked down at the ground."Say you're sorry.."ordered Fluttershy.
The rabbit gave the apple to Applejack who were standing beside Fluttershy. The rabbit squeaked something."He said he's REALLY sorry.."Fluttershy translated.
"Y'know..it's alright! Since ya apologised..ah'll just let ya eat it.." said the orange earth pony.The rabbit's face turned from sad to happy.
"Oh,really?I though you doesn't like it when animals ate your apples without permission.."asked Fluttershy.
"Well, we have a plenty more..Ah don't supposed it would hurt.."
"Oh, thank you so much Applejack..that's very kind of you.."said the pegasus."Say thank you,mister!"
The rabbit rubbed herself on Applejack's hoof, which the farm pony pushes gently aside after a few seconds. "He's very happy..thank you so much..oh and I'm sorry I came a bit late."
smiled Fluttershy.
"Well, sure..Ah mean, he'd ate that apple about 5 big bites already..there's only a quarter left.."
"Well,then..I better get back to my work.."Fluttershy sighed,remembering the rest of her work.
"You still have work?Awwhh... I was just about to ask you to come to a party...you seem AWFULLY tired,Fluttershy!" said Pinkie Pie who came out of nowhere.
"Um,Pinkie..Ah don't think a party's gonna help her feel less tired.."questioned Applejack.
"Oh,don't be silly,AJ! Of course it does..when I was filly and worked in a rock farm..I was so bored! All I do is work,work,work..I feel so exhausted,and tired,and ran out of energy! Until,the time the sonic rainboom happened..my mane went all poofy and I decided to throw a party..you WOULD NEVER believe how happy and relaxed I felt right after that!!!"the pink pony said in one breath.
Applejack rolled her eyes."But still, Fluttershy....you look just like me BEFORE i got my cutie mark..exhausting,tired,bored...W..what happened?"asked Pinkie.
"Well..."
"OOOhh,oohh, I know! You went through the mirror in Friendship Castle..you know,the one that brings you to the alternate dimension? You met the other you..but still, she's very shy..but after some events..you two became close friends..It must pretty TIRING.."guessed Pinkie Pie.
"Um,not really.."
"oH,oh..I know this time! You forgot to take the cake from Sugarcube Corner..well, you didn't ordered one..that makes sense huh? Besides, Gummy made an awful mess in there today..while we were baking I throw some frosting towards him, and he ate them..so I kept throwing more, you know assaulting him? Then, Sugarcube Corner was very messy..which explained why I am RIGHT here, appearing out of nowhere.."
"Oh,no.Pinkie,that's not it..It's.."
"I know! Discord came to your house and he was like awfully sick that you had to take care of him at let you sing him a lullaby a read a 204 pages of encyclopedia..but then, the colour of the blanket he used is blue..which is not his favourite colour..well, duh! Everyone knows PINK is the best colour so, you read another book, this time a 654 paged dictionary..and now, you're behind schedule.."
Applejack putted a hoof in Pinkie's mouth."Ignore her, what was that bothering you again sugarcube?"
"Actually the last guess was pretty true.."
"How'd you do that?"AJ raised an eyebrow at Pinkie."Just a hunch.."
"Discord was sick?and after all that things that Pinkie said Discord did..you're still patient with him?"
"Well,yes..he's my friend..I know I could said no,but I don't want to hurt his feelings."
"His feelings? What about YOUR feelings?? You don't have to be such a pushover even to Discord,Fluttershy!! You really ARE a pony with a problem.."said Pinkie Pie.
"Well, I'd made a deal with him so he won't mind me not taking care of him full time.."
"Listen,Fluttershy..it's REALLY important to follow the deal,true.But,ah reckon you tell him it troubled you..ah mean, whether ya agreed or not, he's the one gettin' all the advantages! And that's just ain't fair.."
"Yeah..he MIGHT understand!!"supported Pinkie.
"Well, I don't know.."Fluttershy hetistated.
Applejack and Pinkie Pie glanced at each other. "Well, it's up to you but remember, WE'LL ALWAYS be here for you.."Pinkie pulled Applejack and Fluttershy to a group hug.
*************************************************************************************************************
"Fluttershy!!"
Fluttershy sighed. Discord was staying in her cottage for another 4 days and this second day may still be in the afternoon, but she's already exhausted doing work, and taking care of Discord at the same time.
"Could you please get me a teeny tiny glass of water,please??"
Fluttershy took a glass and with a tired but warm smile,gave it to him."Why, thank you..at least YOU gave me the water..no need for me to sing a song,huh?well, perhaps I SHOULD show you my great voice.."
Discord took a deep breath before singing."A little glass of water please.."
"Oh,I don't think it's necessary..you said you don't need to sing it,right? It'll only tire you.."interrupted Fluttershy.
"Nonsense,A fresh pressed hanky if I sneeze" he continued.
Fluttershy remembered her conversation with her two earth pony friends yesterday.
"His feelings? What about YOUR feelings?? You don't have to be such a pushover even to Discord,Fluttershy!! You really ARE a pony with a problem.."Pinkie's voice echoed.
"Listen,Fluttershy..it's REALLY important to follow the deal,true.But,ah reckon you tell him it troubled you..ah mean, whether ya agreed or not, he's the one gettin' all the advantages! And that's just ain't fair.."Applejack's voice echoed in her head.Fluttershy tried to accept her friends' advice. She then looked sternly at Discord.
"Did I say zinnias? I meant silk.."Discord is still singing.
"Discord.."said Fluttershy.
"Or something shiny of that ilk.."
"Discord.."
"And then I'll need some nice warm milk"
"DISCORD!!!"
"Yes?"he asked, innocently..as if he did nothing wrong.
"I'm awfully sorry..but the truth is, I'm really not comfortable having you here.."
"Oh,so funny..you're good with joke Fluttershy..".Fluttershy raised an eyebrow."You..you're serious?"
"I mean, we're friends..true. But that doesnn't mean I have to take care of you like I'm your maid or something..The time Angel was sick, I took care of him..but he was never acting like you..and he's a RABBIT! He knows me much longer and he's much smaller than you but he'd never treat me like how you treated me now..although sometimes he is worse than you, at least he tried to help me a dozen times. All you did is giving orders that I'd missed every single appointment with my friends..that's it! I can't hold it anymore..I'm sorry..but you have to GO!"
Fluttershy slammed the door open, shooing Discord gently.
"But.."Discord gave Fluttershy the puppy eyes.
"I'm sorry, but I said GO!"
Discord frowned."Very well, then.. you want me out,I'll go out..but don't blame me that WE'RE NOT FRIENDS ANYMORE..i have many more friends I could make myself..because, TRUE friends don't shoo your friends away..some kind of friends you are!"
Just s Discord slammed the door shut, Fluttershy regretted her own actions."What have I done?"she said with teary eyes.
".....Then,he slammed the door..what have I done?"Fluttershy cried sobberly as she was telling what happened to Applejack and Pinkie Pie.
"Well,that's not so nice..I mean you're just telling him the truth..sheesh!"said Pinkie Pie.
"awh,don't worry sugarcube, he said that to the rest of us ALL the time..he always refriended us after 6 hours.."told Applejack"Although ah do prefer him not befriending me anymore.."she said under her breath while rolling her eyes.
"Yes, but he'd NEVER argued with me before.." she continued to cry sobberly. Pinkie and Applejack looked at each other.
"Perhaps it's time that WE get in this mess..it was already so messy,messier than Sugarcube Corner yesterday.."
Applejack nodded.
"Led us to DISSSSCORDDDD'S house!!!!"said Pinkie Pie.
*****************************************************************************************************************
Knock,knock,knock..Applejack knocked on the door. "Discord?'asked Fluttershy.
Applejack knocked again."Discord, ya better open this door before ah knock this door down.."
"HAHAHA..That's a good one,AJ! Knock the door down and knock knock knock..silly joke!"laughed Pinkie Pie.Applejack raised an ayebrow.
"oh, maybe he's so mad at me that he wanted to be alone.." said Fluttershy.
"Oh,don't worry Fluttershy..we're not leaving this door until he opened them!"answered the farm pony.
"Oooh,oooh,oooh..let me try!"Pinkie Pie knocked, well more like banged the door with her head.
"DISCORD!!!WE KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE!!!" she shouted.
"Oh,fine.."Discord said as he opened the door. He's surprised to see his pony friends in front of his front door."Applejack and Pinkie Pie..well,what a surprise! I'm quite sorry..I was busy doing the chores I left, you see.But I would never wanted to shoo my friends away..please come in, my two good friends.."
"Have ya lost that goat leggin of yours or something? Math may be fancy for me, but anypony could tell there are three of us here.."Applejack gave him a stern look.
"Now,now Applejack..I said two FRIENDS of mine, this one right here isn't really a friend!" Discord pointed at Fluttershy.
"But she's just tellin ya the truth..like how ya discorded me before, the truth hurts and not acceptin the truth,was well pretty lame.."
"Well,whatever...so how can I help you two,my dear friends?"
"We came hear so you befriended Fluttershy back,SILLY.." told Pinkie Pie while paying attention to a red balloon."Ooooh, a floatie thing!"
"After how she treated me? After how she shoo me away?After how she shouted at me?"
"Well,what's the big deal?AJ,Twilight,Dashie,Rarity and I shouted at you and shoo you away all the time.."Pinkie is still trying to catch the red balloon.Discord popped the balloon.
"Why,yes..because you ponies are my FRIENDS..Fluttershy was my best friend.The feels when your BEST friend shouted at you and when your normal friends shouted at you is a big difference.."
Pinkie Pie frowned, the fact that Discord had just popped the balloon."Don't ya get it? She's just being honest..Ah'm pretty sure you didn't notice her condition.."
"Yeah, she's like an apple farmer doing chores and too much apple bucking on Applebuck Season that the pony goes all sleep deprived and bring trouble to the whole town!"said Pinkie Pie. Applejack gave her a death glare, which Pinkie answered "WHAT?"
"Well, are you two done yet?I have a lot more to do.."
"Just ONE thing..she wants to apologise to you.."said Applejack.
"Oh,yes..Um,Discord..I'm so very awfully really really sorry..I didn't mean to.."
"Sorry? After all that, you think I'm gonna forgive you JUST like that?"yelled Discord before slamming the door shut.Fluttershy cried sobberly.
"C'mon, Fluttershy..Buck up!" encouraged Applejack, trying to think of a comforting word."He HATED me!!" Fluttershy cried even louder.
"Hey,author!! Do you need to make Discord treating Fluttershy so badly? That's mean!"
"Easy,Pinkie ..ah think ah might have a plan"
"Oooh, are we going to make a giant cake monster?"asked Pinkie Pie.
"No! Since Discord won't listen to us, ah think we should've do the same thing ah did to Rarity back when Trenderhoof was here.."
"You're gonna be Applejewel again?"
"No! Ah'd never dreamt of it AT ALL..what ah mean is, let's teach Discord a lesson.."she smirked before whispering to Pinkie's ears.
"That's WAY better than a giant cake monster!"Pinkie laughed mischievously.
