Party of Two
The journey
Previous ChapterNext ChapterPinkie and Fluttershy quietly opened the door and galloped to the PonyVille train station. They looked around in confusion, for it was surprisingly bustling with ponies. Pinkie recognized an old friend who was working on a railway track. It was Copperhoof, a light chocolate coat pony with a dark drown and light yellow mane. Her eyes were a beautiful shade of emerald green, and she wore a blue cap with a picture of her cutiemark witch was a screwdriver with oil splatters. Fluttershy's nose wrinkled with the strong smell of gas surrounding the building.
"COPPERHOOF!! OVER HEEEEEERE!!"
She paused and looked up, checking her surroundings. Copperhoof gave a big smile to a waving pinkie pie and her embarrassed friend next to her. She took her ripped hankie out of her tool box and wiped the oil of her body, jumping out of the train tracks and ran to pinkie. She gave her a hug.
"Aww, Pinkie Pie! I’ve missed you! I haven't seen you in ages! Who’s your friend?"
Copper peered to pinkie's left to have a closer look at her. She smiled at Fluttershy, and she returned with a small smile, blushing in a shy manner and quickly looking away. Copper gave a warm chuckle, looking back at Pinkie.
“This is one of my bestest friends in the whole wide world! Besides you obviously."
Pinkie gave an awkward squee, but she just rolled her eyes and grinned.
"It’s okay. What’s her name?"
"This is Fluttershy! The element of kindness herself!"
Copperhoof trotted over to Fluttershy and embraced her with a welcoming hug.
“O-OH! Goodness!” Fluttershy gave a small shocked giggle.
"It’s an honor meeting ya, Fluttershy. Anyway, what's the matter?"
Pinkie looked at Fluttershy and gave her a nudge, telling Fluttershy it was her que.
"You see Miss Copperhoof, we really need two tickets for where exactly?"
Fluttershy gave a quick look of confusion to Pinkie; she looked up at her ears, which was flapping up and down.
"M...Manehatten! We need to go to Manehatten! He’s there!"
"Um...who?"
"Cheese Sandwich! You see copper, I kinda..."
Pinkie’s sentence trailed off with embarrassment, as she started to blush again. She took a deep breath in.
"I love cheese sandwich, and I need to see him to tell him how I feel!"
"Well, not on your own you don't!"
Fluttershy turned around in shock. It was discord! He ran to her and gave her a smashed his lips against hers. Pinkie and Copper stared at them speechless, blushing all the way. The couple eventually broke the kiss.
"Fluttershy?! You got me worried sick about you! I even flipped over the house and took it off the ground to find you! Do you know how hard it is to...?”
Fluttershy gently put her hoof on discord's mouth to silence him and smiled.
"I need to take pinkie pie to Manehatten! Cheese sandwich is there!"
Discord twirled around his beard in confusion.
"Are you serious?! Just make a cheese sandwich yourself!"
The three of them laughed by his misunderstanding, he still was confused.
"No silly! Hahaha! A colt named Cheese Sandwich I need to find!"
Discord clicked his fingers in satisfaction.
"Aaaaaah! You know, you could have just told me!"
Copper chuckled and pulled out three tickets for Manehatten and handed them out to the three of them.
"Here you go! Since I haven’t seen ya for a long period, you can get them for free."
She winked at the trio.
"AWW, THAT'S SO SWEET! THANK YOU!"
She quickly hugged copper, and she hugged her back.
"Well, ya better get moving! The train is about to leave!"
Fluttershy, Discord and Pinkie jump onto the train and wave copper off.
"THANK YOU COPPER! SEE YOU SOOOOOON!"
Pinkie shouts at the top of her voice, everypony (and draqoneques) clenches their ears. Meanwhile on the train, the ponies look uncomfortable with the fact that the lord of chaos was on the train with them. But pinkie and Fluttershy were completely fine with him, unless he turned the train into a gingerbread train instead. Discord gently lifted her chin and kissed her once more. Since it was quite a public kiss, Fluttershy was quite hesitant. Everypony else on the train looked at them in shock and cringed. Pinkie gave a warm smile, still feeling a tad bit awkward, but still feeling happy for them. They actually made a cute couple, if she could say so herself. But she suddenly thought about her and cheese. Will she receive his love in return? She thought. They broke the kiss, being hypnotized in each other's eyes, the two of them blushing. After a while, she broke the concentration as she saw lots of big buildings in front of them.
"Um...pinkie? Is this manehatten over there?"
She pointed her hoof out of the small wooden window, pinkie shoving her head out.
"AAH! IT IS! I'M SO EXITED TO..."
Pinkie stopped as she saw Discord look at her suspiciously.
"So, what with you and this 'Cheese Sandwich' anyway?"
"I...I love him? And I need to tell him how I feel about him?"
Discord did a teasing whistle, making pinkie blush again.
“ALL ABOARD THE LOVE TRAIN!!”
"Hey, stop it!"
Discord and Fluttershy chuckled, as the train came to a sharp halt.
"AAAAAALL ABOAAAAAAARD!"
The conductor shouted enthusiastically.
“Hmph. That was MY line” He grumbled under his breath. Discord gently takes Fluttershy’s hoof and helps her get down.
"My lady."
Discord winked, and Fluttershy giggled as discord helped pinkie down as well.
"Trying to be a good friend, eh?"
"Thanks discord"
Pinkie smiled at him, and she jumped as her back twitched again.
"He’s in manehatten party pony centre!"
"And where exactly is that?"
Pinkie pie rolled her eyes in a ‘seriously?’ way.
"Where do you think silly? Center?"
"Oh...yeah. Let’s go!"
