Today was a lovely day. The leaves on the trees were warm colors, with splotches of brown, and the wind was a factor of the up-coming snow. Except, that today was the day before December! 21 days before winter starts, and 25 days before hearth's warming comes and goes. Well, this is a picture perfect scene, with a great oak tree, and with a lying pegasus on the ground. This year, the butter-colored pegasus promised herself that she would get the hearths warming decorations out early, so she could be the first to get the hearths warming spirit. "*sigh* What a lovely day. Autumn is beautiful, isn't it, Angel?" The pegasus asked her little bunny. Yep. It would be even better if I got carrots. Angel the rabbit told his owner, Fluttershy. "Well, I could make you something, as long as you dig the carrots up yourself. Wouldn't that be great?" She turned her head to look at her pet's face. Ugh. fine. Angel rolled his eyes as he was told to actually work. "No Angel, don't you roll your eyes at me! With that kind of attitude, you will not be getting any extra carrots tonight, in fact, I won't give you any tonight. Come on, we should be getting back home. We wouldn't want to get too cold." Fluttershy said as she got up from her spot and started walking towards her house, with Angel hopping next to her. This day was perfect for a picnic. Maybe she could invite her friends to join her. Of course, she would organize a beautiful picnic underneath that great oak tree. Grr... I can't believe Fluttershy banned me from carrots... Hmph! Angel mumbled. "Angel, if you keep up with that attitude of yours,-" Fluttershy started. You'll do what, Fluttershy? Ban me for a month without carrots?! Angel lashed out. "No, mister, I'll give you the stare!" Fluttershy turned around and stared so intensely that if looks could kill, Angel would be dead by now. Of course, as any animal would do, they would shrink at her sight, and obey Fluttershy. So, he did. "Yes, you are grounded! You stay in your bed, until I tell you too!" Angel's eyes almost watered by how much assertiveness was in Fluttershy's gaze. So he quickly ran towards the door, but with Fluttershy crying, "Angel no! The door is-" *Crash!* "Locked!" Fluttershy quickly glided towards Angel who was holding his head. "Oh poor poor Angel. I'll get you an icepack." Fluttershy flew inside, (after unlocking it,) and set Angel down on the couch and she quickly filled up a bag with cold water and ice, and gave it to Angel. She then decided what she should do for the rest of the day, since she had to stay with Angel. Hmm... how about putting up the decorations? Angel looked at his owner, who's eyes caught his, and who heard his voice. "Good idea Angel! Also, could you try not to talk? Please?" Fluttershy looked at her pet with worry. *groans* I'm not hurt at my jaw! It was my head! Also, you should really stop worrying about me so much. Angel rolled on his side. "Oh, but that's what mothers do! Wait. I'm not your mother, but I'm still your owner, so I have every right to care for you." Fluttershy decided to stop the conversation by going upstairs to the attic space with the hearth's warming decorations. Ehh... Whatever... Angel murmured as he drifted off to sleep. "It sure is musty in here... and dusty..." Fluttershy wrinkled up her muzzle as she stepped carefully to reach the box labeled, Hearth's Warming. She was almost close to reaching the box with her hoof, then all of a sudden a rustle went from behind her, and she jumped out of fright. She immediately grabbed the box she was aiming for, and she dove towards the attic door, closing it as she went down. Sighing with relief, she put the box on her back and she trotted down the stairs to start decorating. "Now, where to get the perfect tree..." She wondered out loud. Fluttershy got the perfect evergreen tree from a pony called Everbreeze, then put the little candle-light streamers around the tree. She got the ornaments out one by one, reciting a memory from each one. Picking a red one with white swirls around it. "Oh I remember this one when Pinkie almost mistook this ornament for a peppermint!" Fluttershy then giggled at the memory. Fluttershy got another ornament after putting the first one on the tree, and this ornament was fully blue. "The last ornament from the box that fell down the stairs. Silly me." This repeated as she put on the ornaments, one by one, as she does every year. She came across the six ornaments that represented her friends; apples, balloons, diamonds, sparkles, rainbow lightning bolt and of course butterflies. This reminded her of the picnic that she should plan. So she quickly placed the ornaments on the branches then grabbed a random scarf from her basket of scarves. This scarf just happened to be the scarf that Discord gave her, which was crocheted with purple dots, gray areas, swirls, and dice crocheted at the ends of it. Fluttershy smiled at the sight of it, Discord gave this to her for hearth's warming last year. She tied it around her neck and she opened the door to see heavy winds blowing across the field! She looked up at the sky to see big and heavy clouds, blanketing the sky. She quickly decided not to go out, for the fear of being left out there, in the howling winds. She sighed as she closed the door, not noticing the tiny flakes of snow swirling outside. Winter, was certainly coming. On the 1st day of christmas,Fluttershy was in bed, rolling around. She flickered her heavy eyes as she woke up. A thought crossed her mind, well, more like a reminder, that today was the first day of December! Jolting herself awake out of excitement for the new day and the advent calendar, she trotted down the stairs.... After putting on her green and red striped socks of course. She had put the advent calendar in the right corner when you walk in. She then gently opened up one of the little doors on the advent calendar that had the number 1 on it, and what was inside was a little candy. After all, advent calendars have little goodies inside the doors of when you buy them, and since Fluttershy loved Hearth's Warming, she has decided to make a tradition of always doing the advent calendar. Fluttershy gently grabbed the candy with a snow-patterned wrapper and smiled as she realized it was peppermint! She then put the delicious candy in her mouth and sucked on it as she tidied up around the cottage. When she came across the closest window, she gasped (and nearly choked) at the weather outside! It was completely white. Fluttershy wiped the window and she was amazed at the sudden change of weather outside from yesterday to today! The winds were very fast and the flakes outside were being tossed and turned. She bet that if anypony were to stand out there, they wouldn't be able to see the ground underneath their hooves, much less before being blown to the ground. Fluttershy then saw that she had left open the window above the couch, allowing snow to fall in. She quickly shut it by standing on her hind legs. "Now no wonder it was so cold." Fluttershy spoke out loud. She wondered how she would ever clean up the snow off Discord's favorite couch. "Oh Discord! Where could he be? Is he lost?! I hope he is alright." Fluttershy hardly cared if anyone listened to her thoughts spoken aloud or the fact that anyone would care that she even cared about Discord. All she wanted right now, was for her to see Discord safe and sound. She was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she didn't even hear a poof sound that came from behind her. "Wow! This year's weather team really got it going early this year! Heh, they got me covered in snow from antler to hoof!" Said a male with a very optimistic voice. Fluttershy could not believe her ears. Was, was that... "Discord?" Fluttershy questioned as she turned around. What she saw was a very goofy looking snowmare, or rather, snow-draconequus. "Hey Fluttershy! Don't I look just like the Yetti? Or possibly, the abominable snowmare?! Ooh, nice socks." Discord exclaimed, but of course made Fluttershy blush at the end. "Maybe, maybe you look like it, for I have no idea what they both look like, but, um, thank you for the compliment." Fluttershy had to hide behind her mane for she started blushing like crazy again. Her face was as red as a ripe apple. "You're welcome my dear. Well, now that I think about it, you should wear those more often, they look good on you." Discord then looked over to what Fluttershy was staring at while he was talking, and it appeared she was staring at the couch that had snow. When Discord sighed, Fluttershy snapped out of her gaze and immediately told him of what happened to his "beloved" couch. Discord understood and said, "Oh, I see." Then he magically made a brush and tray appear and he started sweeping the snow off the couch and putting it though a portal that lead to the outside and then threw the tray and brush along with it. When he closed it, he heard Fluttershy's stomach growling so he made a breakfast buffet appear out of nowhere. "Discord! You don't ha-" Fluttershy was interrupted by Discord's sing-songy voice. "Oh, but I can!" Fluttershy knew that she couldn't reject already-made food, and with Discord himself! When the thought crossed her mind, she thought she couldn't get any redder, but she was wrong. Even though she was a Pegasus, she would have sworn that she had turned into a tomato or strawberry from all the sudden blushing. After Discord passed her by grabbing a plate and started piling up his plate, Fluttershy decided to grab some food like Discord was. "Lets see, French toast, pancakes, waffles, ooh! Discord there is just so many things to choose from!" Fluttershy exclaimed about all the food. "I know! It's going to be good, I can definitely promise you that." By the time Fluttershy finished decorating her plate, Discord was done with a plate stacked up with so many different foods that was as tall as Fluttershy herself! Her jaw dropped because of it. Discord was fully aware of Fluttershy's look on her face, so he gently took his eagle finger and closed her mouth, but let it linger underneath her chin. Fluttershy's face got hot again due to the amount of blood going to her face and tried to avoid eye contact with Discord for the fear of blushing like crazy again. Yet as odd it may sound, it was really hard for Fluttershy to look up at Discord's face once more, but was nearly impossible to look back down after she did. She just couldn't help but stare at Discord's golden and ruby colored eyes. She breathed in awe at how a creature that was thought to be so ugly, could be a creature, so handsome. "Fluttershy, do you brush your teeth before you eat breakfast? Beccause your breath smells minty!" Fluttershy just hid behind her mane because she was blushing again. She tried to reply but Discord beat her to it. "So you do brush your teeth before you eat breakfast?" Fluttershy had to giggle at the way Discord said that, for she also did the opposite of what he claimed that she did. "No I don't Discord, I just ate a mint!" Fluttershy's giggles slowly stopped and was replaced by a smile of genuine affection. "So you ate a mint, because you were sooooo hungry that you couldn't wait for breakfast?" Discord enquired. No silly, I had the advent calendar! You see?" Fluttershy pointed with her hoof to the wooden bird-themed calendar with little doors everywhere. "Oh! That makes much more sense! I knew though, that you were just so excited for my excellent cooking!" Discord said very proudly to Fluttershy. "You made this all by yourself without magic?" Fluttershy exclaimed. "Ehh... no. But I did make this!" Discord teleported their plates to the table then made a purple hat with green and yellow swirls and a fluff ball at the end, appear. Fluttershy was amazed by Discord's work and the fact that he did the whole thing without using magic. "Discord, I'm so proud of you." Fluttershy hugged Discord, who did not hesitate to wrap his mismatched arms around his true love. On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a great big breakfast buffet!!! On the 2nd day of christmas,Well, Fluttershy just woke up and is in a very awkward spot. If she moved her head, she would raise Discord's head, if she moved her back hooves she would kick Discord, and for her front legs, Discord would feel the lack of warmth at his chest. Not to mention, Discord had his paw and claw wrapped around her, so she may as well try to go back to sleep. If anypony were around, they might have said that Discord was more part snake then they thought he was, or they might have said that they were soooo cute sleeping together! When did this happen? Fluttershy wondered. Fluttershy tried to think back to last night, the day when Discord arrived. First, she saw Discord arrive, and he made the breakfast buffet, then she hugged him, then... Fluttershy could not remember what happened later. She was still clueless when Discord woke up with a yawn. Stretching his arms wide, he let them fall again as he saw Fluttershy practically in his lap. "Wh-what happened?" Discord said in a very confused tone that made him sound like he was still half-asleep. "I-I don't know." Fluttershy blushed at their predicament, so she looked away. "Hey Fluttershy, wh*yawn*why do you keep looking away?" Discord said in his tone. "Umm... It's not important." Fluttershy quickly put off. "Yes it is, I have nothing to do, so you may as well." Discord said again with his half asleep mood, so to start his day, he summoned a cup of espresso with a festive candy cane. Fluttershy decided not to question the candy cane. "Well?" Discord sipped his coffee. "I, I k-keep on blushing...." Fluttershy avoided his gaze as she rubbed her hoof. "Bushing? Flushing? Fluttershy, whatever it is, you can say it now to get over with it, you know that." Discord looked at her very affectionately. "...Okay! I'm blushing!" Fluttershy covered her face with her hooves. "Blushing? What, did I say something embarrassing?" Discord took one of Fluttershy's hooves and put it down on his body. Fluttershy's gaze flickered towards Discord and finally said the words. "N-no." Surprised, Discord got more and more curious, so he turned his head toward his back where Fluttershy's head was. He asked her, "What is it?" Sighing with defeat, she looked at him and gave Discord a clue. "I, I could say it in clues, so, clue number one, this is very complicated." Fluttershy looked around and saw the advent calendar. "May I get up Discord? I'm a bit stuck." "O-oh right. Of course." Discord teleported both of them off the spot they were both sleeping, which was actually the couch. How they both fit, was a mystery. "I'm going to do the advent calendar now. Do you want this one?" Fluttershy turned her head as she was starting to walk to the corner. "No no, I can get one myself! Or better yet, I could duplicate it." Discord snapped his fingers and a white light lit up inside door number two. "I wonder what's inside." Fluttershy spoke aloud. She opened the tiny door and what was inside was two Hershey's kisses. One had a really dark gray and brown wrapper and the other was pink and yellow. Fluttershy realized the resemblance and asked Discord, "is this you and me?" Discord nodded and motioned her to taste it. Fluttershy understanding, she unwrapped the wrapper and ate half of it. Fluttershy made a sound to show Discord a sign of surprise. He smiled that the chocolates were a success so he grabbed his and unwrapped it and started to eat his. Discord spat the chocolate out for his did not turn out right. Fluttershy both heard and saw this, and asked Discord something. "Would you like half of mine?" Discord's eyebrows raised as she said this. After contemplating it, Discord decided that he should accept his roommate's kindness. So he said yes. Fluttershy gave the rest to Discord. He ate his and gave the same sign of surprise as Fluttershy did. He had intended to make it lemonade flavored, but he made this one strawberry and (no not banana) pineapple flavored. He shrugged as he took his candy cane from his coffee and pretended it was a pipe. He also summoned a monocle and top hat with a matching mustache. Fluttershy giggled at Discord's antics, she just couldn't imagine a better way to spend time with Discord. Which reminded her, to check out the window. She wiped the glass and saw again, only swirling white. She wondered why she didn't notice the winds before. Discord was just behind her, and commented on the outside while still in his "classy" accent. "Well I see that it has not changed since we have last looked Madam Fluttershy. Perhaps it is the weather ponies, though it is too strong for their tastes I assume." Discord smirked at Fluttershy when she looked at him. He also bounced his eyebrows and continued his accent. "It could possibly be the windigos. Those ghosty whispy horses that shall feed on hatred from others." Discord blew a bubble from his curved candy cane, which is physically impossible, but who cares, he's the being of chaos. "Discord, didn't you place your coffee on the couch?" Fluttershy looked over to the couch which had no coffee in sight. "Where did it go?" Discord teleported to the couch without the costume and looked at it until it was practically turned upside-down. He found it on the counter and the coffee apparently froze. He hoofed it to Fluttershy who opened her mouth in shock. She stuck her hoof inside the cup and it was, frozen solid. Discord came over and touched the cup, and it was freezing. Discord was wearing a confused expression on his face, so he spoke aloud. "How odd, everywhere else, it is perfectly fine, but this cup of coffee, is frozen cold. Literally!" Discord then was wide eyed. He had just thought of a possible reason why this cup was cold. "A windigo was here... Inside this house." Discord's face twisted with worry as he looked towards Fluttershy. "*gasp!* How is that possible?! I thought you would feel cold and you would be frozen solid now!?" Fluttershy's face was confused and shocked and scared at the same time. "I, I think what happened, was that our lo- I mean, our friendship kept us safe. If we hated each other, then we would have been frozen solid about now." Fluttershy concluded. "You're right. But only a friendship greater than friends can hold off these kind of windigos, from my memories, these horses are the strongest kind of spirit there is, and is a much more powerful kind of windigo." Discord said. "Wait. So does that mean," Fluttershy looked at Discord. "That..." Discord and Fluttershy started to harmonize. "We, are," Fluttershy and Discord raised their voices. "In love?" Fluttershy gasped as Discord said very brightly. "YES!" Discord cheered. "What!? Yay!.... Why are we cheering?" Fluttershy asked Discord. "You said that you are in love, and I am the only one around, so that claims that yooou..." Discord gestured for Fluttershy to finish his sentence. "Huh?" "Whatever. That yoooou love me!!!" Discord flew up to the ceiling for enthusiasm. "*Gasp!* OOH!" Fluttershy's brain just seemed to have clicked. "You love me!" Fluttershy flew up to Discord and kissed him on the lips. Full on the lips. Sure, Discord was surprised enough that she kissed him, but Fluttershy was even more surprised that he returned the kiss. Discord ended the kiss with a "Muah!" sound. Fluttershy hugged Discord with absolutely no care in the world, except for Discord of course. On the 2nd day of Christmas my true love gave to me, two Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet. On the 3rd day of christmas,The snow outside was still as crazy as ever. Which made it especially cold. Good thing Angel bunny was indoors. He woke up from his nap and realized he had crashed yesterday and had probably got a bump on his head. He hopped on Fluttershy's bed to see if she was still asleep, and she seemed to have not used this bed in a while. Which was weird, since his master always sleeps on the bed and everyday wakes up at the same time. He heard a deep chuckle, following with his master's voice. Oh, he knew that voice anywhere. That was the voice of the creature that tries his best to swoon Fluttershy and is kissing up to her, and writing her love letters. He is just not, worth it for Fluttershy. He used to be a mischievous villain. Not necessarily evil, but still a tad insane. Yet then again, he is parts of animals, and Fluttershy's special talent is taking care of animals. Then there is that saying, chaos and kindness. Sort of like ying and yang, he heard it in a book once, and also from that creature. Well enough of the philosophical thoughts. He is going to see what thing they are doing now. The door creaked as he opened it, and a smell of egg with butter on toast came to his nose. Who was cooking it was a surprise to him. Discord was making breakfast and Fluttershy was talking with him. Fluttershy had her half-eaten toast in front of her with her sunny-side up egg, and there was another plate with a toasted draconequus face and an egg on top of that. Judging from the food, Angel guessed he hadn't slept in at all, since they just started breakfast. He hopped to the seat next to Fluttershy and asked her for some carrots. She was about to say yes, but Discord interrupted her. That jerk. "Wait, shouldn't Angel not get the carrots? He did snap at you." Discord reminded Fluttershy of that day. Angel glared at Discord for bringing that up, just so that nut could watch him suffer without any car- "Discord, you shouldn't keep him off carrots for that long! That is his favorite food!" What? Fluttershy defended me! Oh just look at goatbutt's face! He has the face of pure jealous rage. Ooh, that rhymed. "Wha-, how... No fair!" Discord stuttered. I just smirked at him. I know he looks a bit like a goofball at times, but this look is definitely something to frame. "Oh whatever. What I would have said Angel, what is another clue to that, *ahem* blushing fit of yours? Hmm?" Discord leaned at Fluttershy by physically stretching his neck while turning the burner off. How dare he invade Fluttershy's personal space! He was just inches away from Fluttershy's lips! Wait. LIPS?! So Angel zoomed towards Fluttershy and Discord and blocked them from touching each other by pushing Discoface's nostrils away from Fluttershy's. "Hey!" "*giggles* Okay Discord. Clue number two. It is about the letter U, and also, L-wait, that should be for next time." Fluttershy giggled after that and decided to finish her toast. "Hmm... The letter U, and it is complicated. What does that mean?!" Discord was so confused about Fluttershy's clues, it made Angel smirk once again at Discord's stupidity. Even Angel knew the answer! Though, Discord could read thoughts if he wanted too, so Angel decided to keep it secretive. "Just eat your toast. I should probably give Angel a carrot since he was so patient!" Fluttershy glided to the fridge and grabbed a carrot to give to Angel. Angel quickly hopped towards the yummy and orange vegetable. He munched on the delicious meal as he eavesdropped on the two lovebirds. "Let's do the advent calendar Discord. Also to check if the snowstorm is still going on." Fluttershy brought her plate towards the sink and went to the wooden calendar. Discord did the same, but first shoved everything into his mouth. Angel brought his carrot to the couch and sat there, watching them open the little door. Fluttershy gasped as she pulled out mini hot cocoa mugs. "I don't think this really came in the calendar." Fluttershy suspected. "Of course it didn't! This one had hot cocoa packets, so I just thought, 'Hey why don't I actually make it hot chocolate milk?'" Discord then grabbed his little handle and pulled on it. The handle appeared to be attached to a piece of string, so when he pulled it, it went back into place and the cup grew larger and larger. It grew until it was a normal sized cup of hot cocoa. Fluttershy did the same, first by pulling the handle and watched it grow. She gasped in awe at the little creation. She sipped the warm liquid and enjoyed the feeling of it running down her throat. Discord did the same and also added marshmallows to his cup. From where Angel was sitting, it looked like the two were statues since they held their poses for a long time. Angel looked out the window above him and saw the same endless white. Plopping back down on the cushion of the couch, he gnawed on the carrot as his owner and the snake-boy finished their cups with a loud sip. Snapping his fingers, Discord teleported the cups to somewhere and looked at the tree. He noticed the six ornaments that resembled Fluttershy and her 5 friends. "Hey Fluttershy, where did you get these ornaments?" Discord asked Fluttershy as he pointed towards Twilight's. "Oh! We made these before you got reformed." Fluttershy said. "Well why isn't there one for me?!" Discord acted like a little child as he said this. "I never got around to making it." Fluttershy looked at her hooves. "Then why don't we get started? We could do a blow-glass ornament." Discord looked at Fluttershy as he said this. "Blow-glass?" "Oh yes! Lets get to it then!" Discord disappeared, leaving angel bunny on the couch all alone. I may as well go to sleep. Angel thought. As he bounced towards Fluttershy's room, he got a whiff of cold air, and felt freezing. He decided to grab some extra blankets and huddle up in his basket, but what everypony didn't know, was that three windigos touched Angel, and if anypony or anyrabbit gets touched by windigos, they will more than likely freeze to death. The only cure is for the creature to have a warm enough heart to fend the coldness. On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me, three windigos, two Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet. Author's Note Better late than never! On the 4th day of christmas,It was lunchtime in Fluttershy's cottage, and Discord and Fluttershy were looking for Angel bunny. He was nowhere to be found! Fluttershy finally looked in his bed, and she gasped in terror at the sight before her. Angel was shivering ridiculously! He had also turned a bit blue, and had a bit of frost bite on his tail and feet. With just one look at Discord made him snap his fingers and cover Angel bunny in four blankets and have a heating bottle. Angel was still shivering violently and Discord sighed. "Fluttershy, I think you may have to accept the fact that-" "NO!" Fluttershy shouted at Discord. Discord gave a pitiful glance at Fluttershy and decided to think of a solution. He made a lightbulb appear and told Fluttershy of his idea. "I think this still has to do with the Windigos. Maybe one of them touched Angel since he, he, hates me." "Oh how are we going to fix that?!" Fluttershy's gaze at Discord made him want to hug her even more than he usually wants to. "I, I think I have to soften up to him. So, *ahem* Angel, I think you are a wonderful bunny. You seem to treat Fluttershy well, and I couldn't ask anymore from you. So, Friends?" Discord touched Angel's fur and he started to change back to his normal and usual color. He was still shivering, but definitely not as worse as it used to be, thank Celestia. Taking Angel by the scruff of his neck, Discord moved him over to his bed and provided, yet again, four heating blankets and a cup of hot cocoa. "Well what should we do now? We already got the candy canes from the advent calendar. We also already checked outside, which is the same as usual." Discord asked Fluttershy. In response, Fluttershy slumped to the floor, wondering what she should do to cure boredom. Discord was also wondering too. Being bored with the lord of chaos is ironic, a tad too ironic for Discord. "How about you brush my hair?" Yeah, that's a great idea Discord... He thought to himself, mistaking Fluttershy's voice for his own conscience. "Um, Discord?" "Huh? Oh sorry, I was thinking..." Discord mentally face-pawed himself. "An idea is, that, well you could brush my hair. I haven't done it in a while with anypony." Fluttershy blushed so she hid behind her mane, giving Discord the perfect reason to touch Fluttershy's hair. "Oh yes! We could totally do that, so you my dear, wont hide behind your mane." Discord knew Fluttershy wouldn't back down so he summoned Fluttershy's hairbrush along with bows, clips and hair-ties. Fluttershy got up from her spot and moved over towards the couch and sat herself down. Discord flew over to Fluttershy and summoned a stool for himself to sit on. He grabbed the brush and brushed Fluttershy's mane. He held her mane with his talon claw, and held the brush with his paw. Fluttershy shivered slightly and closed her eyes as Discord brushed her hair and touched her ever so slightly on her neck. When Fluttershy sighed, Discord would have turned into pudding yet took all his will power to not do so. Then something surprised Discord, enough to make him breathe deeply, which is the closest you can get from him that meant a gasp or a sigh. What was surprising was that Fluttershy started singing! "I have met an odd creature, who's unlike any other." Discord's eyes grew big as he heard her perfect and angelic voice. "He's just so chaotic, and that's why I admire him!" Discord realized she was singing about him. HIM! "Oh what's this beating, the beating in my chest," Ooh! his is going to be good! I should sing with her. "Oh what's this feeling, the feeling, in my, heart!" Time for me to sing with her! "I have met a beautiful pony, who's incomparable," Woops, too many syllables. "She's just so sweet, and that's why I adore her," I don't care that it is not the same, it's the lord of chaos after all, it's just bound to be different! "Oh what's this beating, the beating in my chest," It's the heart, oh whatever! It's a sweet love song! I don't care if it's cheesy! "Oh what's this feeling, the feeling, in my, heart!" Time for the duet!! "Oh woah oh! Why do I feel this way! Maybe it is because of his craziness!" Gosh, she sounds so beautiful! "Or maybe it is because of her calmness! Oh woah oh! Why do I feel this way!" Time for her part! "Maybe it is because of the way he talks," "Or maybe it is because of the way she walks," "Oh woah oh! Why do I feel this way! Maybe it is because of the way he makes stuff out of thin air!" "Or maybe it is because of the way she hides behind her pretty hair." Then I think we harmonize. "Oh woah oh! Why do I feel this way! Oh woah oh! Why do I feel this way! Oh woah oh! Why, do, I, feel, this, way!" "Where did you learn that song? I haven't heard of that before!" Discord asks Fluttershy after their song. "Oh I don't know. I just thought up the lyrics, and sang it. I guess I could say the same thing about you." Fluttershy turns around, motioning for Discord to keep on brushing her hair. "Well I just figured out the rhythm and started singing as well." Discord self-consciously pulled her hair back so he could tie it with a hair-bow. "Oh that makes sense." Fluttershy shifted so she stood up taller. Discord just finished tying the bow, so he spun her around so he could see her. "Wow." "What is it Discord?" Fluttershy asked. "You look like a totally different pony." Fluttershy grabbed the mirror that was close by and gasped at herself. "I, I look exactly like my grandmother! Posey!" Fluttershy exclaimed as she went upstairs, but nearly tripped on a stream of candlelights that fell down. In about no time, Fluttershy came back with a picture of an old looking fluttershy but with the same hair-bow. "Woah! Just look at the similarities!" Discord exclaimed. "So that's where you get the colorings!" "Yep. I guess so." On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, four heating blankets, three windigos, two Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet! Author's Note Woo hoo! I got it done early! Also, if anyone asks, Posey is a G3 pony that was originaly going to be Fluttershy. On the 5th day of Christmas,Today was the fifth day staying inside because of the snowstorm and guess what? Fluttershy and Discord were eating a maple-flavored snow cone! In a snowstorm! Well, Discord's powers made it always toasty warm inside the cottage. Right now, they were just adding the flavoring and Discord put some in his mouth. "Discord." "Oh relax! There is plenty extra!" Discord said as he ate it. "Well, what if there isn't anymore?" Fluttershy looked at the side of the bottle as she saw the sticky substance went down. "If I run out, you can take a bite of mine!" Discord lowered the bottle, leaving it empty. "*sigh* I guess I should go get the chocolate syrup out." Fluttershy gave her snow cone to Discord and got out the chocolate syrup from in the fridge. "Hey no fair! You never told me there was chocolate syrup!" Discord tried to glare at Fluttershy but failed. "You did eat all of the maple syrup, so what could I do?" Discord gave his best kitty eyes, (since Fluttershy didn't accept puppy eyes) then Fluttershy finally gave in. "*sigh*Fine." Fluttershy squirted some of the syrup onto hers first, then made a chocolate smiley face on Discord's snow cone. "Hey! You made a face on mine! Now, I'm going to call you George." Discord then licked his with his snake-like tongue all in one bite. "Uh, why did you eat George?" Fluttershy slowly licked her snow cone. "Well, George's destiny was to be gobbled up by moi." Discord put his talon on his chest as he said this. "*hehe* Well okay. This snow cone's name is, um, Snow White." Fluttershy then licked some more off of hers. "Well, sudden twist! The prince dies and Snow White has to kiss Prince Charming called George! Well, accompanied by the 7 dust bunnies." Discord laughed. "Okay then. 'Lalalalaaala! Oh my! My true love! Muah!'" Fluttershy acted her snow cone to be like Snow White. "'Huh? Oh my true love! Muah!'" Discord laughed with Fluttershy as they made their snow cone dolls kiss. "Well, my snow cone is melting, I may have to eat her." Fluttershy nibbled on her cone. "Okay, but I should just get started on the coooookies!!" Discord exaggerated. "But Discord! The chimney must be full of snow, so it may make the snow melt, and-" Fluttershy was cut off as Discord leaned in and kissed her on the cheek. "You know, I can always use my magic. Also, when we get done, we can sit on the couch and see a movie or something." Discord resumed to his normal tone of voice after his romantic one. "Oh, I may as well try to finish this snow cone, wouldn't want you waiting!" Fluttershy then took about 3 minutes as she finished her snow cone. "Done!" Fluttershy declared. "*huff* Took you long enough." Discord said sarcastically. "So lets get the ingredients out for chocolate chip cookies." Fluttershy turned to open the fridge but was stopped by Discord's voice. "Who said we had to make typical and boring cookies?" Discord teleported to Fluttershy's side and looked at the ingredients in the fridge. "Hmm... Lettuce, no. Celery, no. Cabbage, no. Carrots, maybe. Cream cheese? Yes!" Discord magically took the ingredients from the fridge and the pantry and set it on the kitchen counter. "So flour, carrots, sugar, cream cheese, salt, butter, some cinnamon, an egg, baking powder, and milk. Hey! These are the ingredients for carrot cakes!" Fluttershy exclaimed. "Why of course! Except we would change it into cookies." Discord also got the mixing bowl out, along with a wooden spoon, a pastry bag and cookie cutters. "Then we add flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar. Yes, mix it all up!" Discord clawed Fluttershy the wooden spoon and she and Discord worked the dry mixture. "Next, we add butter, the egg, and milk." Fluttershy said as she dumped it in carefully. mix mix mix mix. "Now let's grate the carrots." Discord got out the grater with his magic and grated it as the finished carrots went inside the mixing bowl. mix mix mix mix. "Now we take the cookie cutters, and let it bake!" Fluttershy said as she grabbed the oven guards while Discord punched out the shapes. Fluttershy, still with the oven guards in her mouth, put the tray into the oven rack and let Discord turn on the oven. "Well Fluttershy, what should we do in the meantime?" Discord said after he was done, but before Fluttershy could respond, he made a lightbulb that looked like his face appear over his horns. "Aha!" Discord then teleported to somewhere, then came back with an album. Oh Fluttershy knew that album very well. That album was her baby pictures. "Discord! Please let's not read that. Or, look at that." Fluttershy pleaded while blushing. "Oh really? You much rather let us both look in your personal diary?" Discord made that appear hovering above his shoulder. "N-no let's not read that." Fluttershy blushed furiously. "Hmm... Well this one makes you very embarrassed and this one is all your personal secrets! I think we should go with both of them!" Discord exclaimed. "NO!" Fluttershy shrieked. "Come on! We shouldn't have any secrets between us!" Discord started with the first page in Fluttershy's diary. "Dear diary numb-" Discord was cut off by Fluttershy's hoof on his muzzle. "S-sorry. I,I guess I should endure the embarrassment just to get it over with." Fluttershy looked away, who was still blushing like crazy. "But you have to promise me this; I have to hold it." "Weeelll, how about we hold it together?!" Discord's face looked like a filly's face at the first time in sugar cube corner. "Okay, I guess that will work." Fluttershy got enough courage and started looking up at the book instead of the couch cushion. Discord started reading the first page again. "So, 'dear diary number one. Today I just got this brand new book from Twilight! She said that I should use this for my diary, so I guess that is what I am doing now. Nothing really exciting happening today. Angel just got grounded, not sure if that is a good thing about today, but that is something. So, let me think... Oh! Pinkie Pie gave me some cupcakes that were made from Applejack's zap apples! I'm sure they will taste delicious. Well, that's all for today, so until next time!' See? That wasn't so bad!" "Oh, okay, I guess we could keep on going." Fluttershy said tentatively. "Onward to chapter two! *ahem* Dear diary number two.-" Discord and Fluttershy continued on until the cookies were done and Discord got up and let the cookies cool. He teleported Fluttershy to him and asked her, "How about one more chapter, before we decorate these cookies?" "Sure, I guess that's fine." Fluttershy flew over and grabbed the diary from the little coffee table that was set there. "Dear diary number 34. Discord just came over today! He is a real nice guy, even if he was the master of chaos. I don't think every villain is bad. I just think he was a bit childish, but only a bit out of control. I write letters to him, every day I can. We are on good terms now, except, for my friends. You see, they don't know of my letters to Discord, or of my tea times with him. They just need to show kindness to him, and maybe he will stop his antics with them. I think I am finally starting to really change him, and I mean, really change him. So until next time!" Discord looked at Fluttershy with love, and compassion for that little chapter. "Time to make the glaze!" Fluttershy said as she prepared the pastry bag. Discord then mixed the extra sugar, cream cheese, extra milk, and cinnamon. It made it turn into a soupy and sticky texture. "Scoop it in the bag!" Fluttershy said when Discord put the mixture into the papery bag. Fluttershy closed the end and squirted the glaze onto the cookies, making it a drizzle. "Mmmm! It smells divine!" Discord said as she stuck his snout as close as he could to the cookie. "I think it is done!" Fluttershy grabbed a cookie and bit into it, and Discord did as well. "Mmm!" The two synchronized. Discord brought a plate full of cookies onto the couch and teleported Fluttershy along with him. "Chapter number 35. Rarity thought I would be a good match for Big Macintosh...' WHAT?!" Discord looked at Fluttershy with anger. "Discord just read on!" Fluttershy pointed towards the diary, ignoring Discord's wrath. "Fine fine! Ugh. *ahem* Rarity thought I would be a good match for Big Macintosh, and I strongly disagree with her suggestion! Sure, we are both quiet, but I thought he was going out with Miss Cheerilee! I would just ruin their plans when I come in with a heart and ask for his heart. No, I think my companion, should be.... Oh I don't know! What if he says no? What if he turns on me? What if he rejects my heart? Oh, maybe I shouldn't ask him. Yes, screw that idea... I have no pony. Just, no pony..' Fluttershy, is that a tear stain?" Discord pointed to a dried up piece of paper that is slightly darker than the rest. "Yes. I think so." Fluttershy looked down. "Umm, may I ask, who was this pony?" "Umm, it wasn't. anypony..." "Then who were you talking about?" "I was talking about a certain, draconequus..." Fluttershy met eye contact with Discord. "Me?! Back then?! Fluttershy, I will never, reject your heart. Never, ever." "You promise?" "I promise." "Cross my heart, I hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." Fluttershy and Discord said in harmony. "So you wouldn't reject... This?" Fluttershy pulled out a paper heart from inside the pages of the book. What read on the paper, was: Will you be my special somepony? It also showed Discord and Fluttershy looking at each other, Discord walking on all fours, and Fluttershy looking over her shoulder. "Oh Fluttershy! YES!" Discord hugged Fluttershy and she squealed in impact. "Yay!" Fluttershy said before she was released. She then immediately ate a cookie, since she was a bit peckish. She and Discord ended up eating five cookies each, while they watched a movie for the rest of the night. On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, five, carrot cake cookies! Four heating blankets, three windigos, two Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet! On the 6th day of christmas,Just like old times, Discord and Fluttershy were having tea and cucumber sandwiches. Through the whole time they were having the tea party, they were having trouble thinking about what they should talk about. Fluttershy finally thought of something to begin a conservation, and that was talking about Discord's past. "Discord? Do you remember who your parents were?" Fluttershy bit into a sandwich. "M-my parents? Oh, I don't think you would like the story of my parents. How about yours?" Discord asked her, though already knew the answer. "I've already told you of my parents! Please, Discord, if this relationship is going to go anywhere, I should know of my in-laws." Discord's mind whirled. Fluttershy, knowing of his parents?! No no no... "I don't think that is a good idea..." Discord twiddled his thumbs. "You think that me, knowing of your parents, is a bad idea?" Fluttershy looked at him with concern. "*sigh* Fine. But I warn you! This is not a happy, sappy tale...*ahem* So, once upon a time, or, when I was born, I remember my parents looking down at me. They were fuzzy shapes, I knew, but then all of a sudden I got taken, and all I saw, was green vines. Why green vines? Well, I think I lived in a jungle or somewhere. My parents came to me more clearly now, and they looked exactly like I did, well, more like parent, looked exactly like I did. My dad had a round face that was slim, and had he had bushy eyebrows. He also had the deer horn that I have, and also a ram horn. So through simple genetics, I was able to tell that my mother had the blue horn, and possibly a unicorn horn as well. Now, as I grew, I got used to the ways and the culture of the jungle. Yet one of the weirdest things that I deeply regretted doing, is the maturity games. The maturity games are named after yourself and you have to do a series of tests, to prove your maturity for the pony you get at the end. So first was the agility games. The one where you have to show your speed and efficiency and strength through courses. The second one is the food games. This one is very basic, but very deadly. You have to choose between different ingredients to make a cake. Oh, I have also heard a rumor that someone made a cake that was so good, it made him get extra powers in his already powerful chaos magic. The cake was a lie though. So the third one is the survival games. This one is where you get placed in the barren jungles, the place where you don't want to be. It is sort of like the everfree forest, except, multiply that by 100. Then there is the last one, which is the love games. This one is to choose the pony you get at the end. They have to go through a series of tests, similar to your own but easier, since they are ponies. The first seven who win, will get to be decided by the draconequus who has passed the games. Who ever was the unlucky mare who got chosen, would be the draconequus's mate. The End..." Discord whispered the last sentence as he buried his face into his talon and claw. He was expecting a response of his culture being messed up, or something along that route. Yet Fluttershy asked a question that really threw Discord off. "Do you remember your seven ponies?" Fluttershy looked at Discord with sadness but also curiosity. "Well, when I ran away, I was about to get the seventh pony, but I got a little cuckoo with the fury on this princess that I captured. She had to get back to her kingdom and I just about had enough with her, so I brought her to her kingdom and was shocked at how un-protected the place was! Using magic from inside of me, I blasted the place with chaos, and half of my mind said that this was probably from the chaos of his home, and the forest, or it is just a gene. Then the other half, my good half, said that I should rule over this place, and act a bit ridiculous. Which I did. Oh, to answer your question, the first pony was Firefly, then was a pony who looked a lot like applejack and I think was called applejack, then there was a pony who was turquoise and with purple hair. I think was called Sparkler or something, then there was Surprise, Twilight Twinkle, and Posey. Oh yeah, and Princess Celestia." Realizing he said a bit too much than he wanted too, he covered his mouth with his paw and talon. "Princess Celestia?" Fluttershy questioned. "Yeah... Wait... Posey?! Your grandmother?!" Discord was bewildered at how old Fluttershy's grandmother may have been. "Yes. She was abnormally old for her lifespan, but I think what happened, was that she went on a safari trip and she met you, and then she got smoked by a mysterious purple flower." Fluttershy explained. "Yeah, that happened to me too. Wait a second... That flower definitely did something, and I think I read it in a book somewhere that the flower is a permanent poison joke flower. Well, sort of, it boosts your weakest ability. For me, it was my, umm, insaneness. And for her, I guess it was her age." Discord concluded. "That actually makes a lot of sense now that I know the answer to a lifelong mystery." Fluttershy said. "Could we finish that movie that we watched last night? I think I fell asleep watching the phantom of the opera. How about we watch that tonight?" "Umm, Fluttershy, the time is," Discord checked the clock. "10:23 at night. Or I could be mistaken. Oh whatever, the next day is going to be at twelve." "Okay. Let's watch the Phantom of the Opera!" On the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, six games ponies play, five carrot cake cookies, four heating blankets, three windigos, two Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet! On the 7th day of christmas.It is 3:00 now, at night or at day, we don't know. We should just go with night, so it is really 12:00 in the morning. Anyway, Fluttershy just finished watching the Phantom of the Opera with Discord, and could totally relate to themselves with the main characters. By the time they were finished watching, Fluttershy and Discord were really tired, and decided to go to sleep. yet before Discord could move Fluttershy to her room, he realized that Fluttershy was already asleep, so he may as well sleep with her. The howling of the winds went from calm and quiet to fierce and wild. This woke up Fluttershy. "*yawn* What time is it?" Fluttershy mumbled to herself. "I don't know dearie, and I really don't care..." Discord mumbled back. "Um, Discord?" Fluttershy finally realized where she was and went to wake up Discord. "*growls* What. Is. It?" Discord growled since he was still sleepy. "Umm, Discord, you should really wake up now. I think the storm is getting worse!" Fluttershy nudged him and shook him until he was awake. "Fluttershy is it really that important?" Discord said, nearly shouting. He sat up as he said this, and rubbed his eyes. "I honestly don't know. I was woken up by the wind, so it could be worse! Of course, if it was nothing, then I still had a good reason to wake you up." Fluttershy shifted herself so she could wiggle out. "Oh really? What is that good reason?" Discord summoned a cup of latte macchiato. "To do the advent calendar of course. Then we can make breakfast." Fluttershy glided over to the advent calendar and went to panel seven. Discord moaned as he stretched, bringing his arms up high. He then sighed as he put his arms back down. Discord walked over to where Fluttershy was standing, and snapped his fingers. Fluttershy opened panel seven and what was inside was seven little snowmare ornaments all in different poses. "Oh Discord! Look at these! Oh!" Fluttershy gasped as she saw the seven little figures come to life. They danced, skated, twirled, flew; pretty much all of these little figures did little poses they were supposed to do. "Discord! These are so adorable!" Fluttershy gently grabbed all of them onto her hoof and put them on the tree. "There you go little guys! Right where you belong!" Fluttershy smiled at the seven little figurines. One of them reminded her of Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy's smile melted. Then Fluttershy sighed, and Discord noticed that Fluttershy was down for a reason. She wasn't smiling anymore, not really paying attention to anything, just her mind. "My dear, what's wrong?" Discord saw her melancholy expression, and immediately guessed that she must be missing somepony. "N-nothing's wrong, I-I'm just..." He saw Fluttershy's emotions quickly pour out of her eyes, she was crying, and for what reason? That he didn't know. "Fluttershy, what's wrong?" Discord wrapped his body around Fluttershy and ran his claw through her hair. "*sniff* I, I just remembered my friends... I miss them... A lot.. Not that you are b-boring, I-I'm, I-" Discord cut her off. "Shhhh.... Just let it all out. You can tell me later after you're done crying." Discord whispered. "*sniff* *sniff sniff* O-okay. I think I'm good now..." Fluttershy looked at him for a moment, but then lowered her gaze. "But I miss my friends... I have no idea what they may be doing, if they are all together, or if they are separated because of the storm. Discord, you have to let me check on them!" "Absolutely not! I will not let you go out there alone! You could be swept off your fee- I mean, hooves! Yeah. Hooves. You know it is dangerous to go out there alone." Discord saw the disappointment and plead in Fluttershy's eyes. He mentally smirked, since she didn't know the last part of his sentence. "Which is why!.... I'm coming with you!" Discord then slithered like a snake and curled around her. She then saw her closet, which meant Discord used his magic again. "So which jacket do you want? This parka? This knitted one?" Discord held jackets in his tail while he rummaged through the closet. "I'll take the pink one. Thank you!" Fluttershy put on her jacket and waited for more. "Which pair of mittens?" Discord held the mittens by his magic and what were floating, was a pink pair, and a blue pair. "I'll take the pink set, just so it matches." Fluttershy slipped on the mittens and waited for the scarves and hats. "Hats?" Magically, three woolly hats floated out of the closet and Fluttershy choose the snowy one, which was blue. "Ooh! This one!" Discord pawed Fluttershy the gray, purple polka-dotted, and turquoise scarf that Discord gave Fluttershy last Hearth's Warming. "Okay! I think I'm set to go out. What about you?" Fluttershy just barely finished her sentence before Discord summoned a hat, parka, scarf, and boots. he also summoned Fluttershy warm and snug ugg boots. "I think I'm good. So, on to the adventure we go!" Discord grabbed the door handle, and looked at Fluttershy to show a sign that she had to be ready for the strong winds and snow. "On count three, we open the door and run out." Discord started to unlock the first lock. "One." The first lock is unlocked. "Two." The second one is unlocked. "Three!" Discord unlocked the third lock and the door swung open because of the fierce winds. Immediately, Fluttershy clung to Discord as an unconscious move. Discord then jumped and Fluttershy fluttered as well. Discord slammed the door behind them shut, and tried to look out into the white wasteland. Nothing. There was absolutely nothing that he could see. Well, you cant really go anywhere without moving, so, Discord took the first step off the path, which ended up being very fluffy, but very deep, so he fell through a hole. Fluttershy's reply was a scream as she slipped into a different hole, which was the first time in seven days that they have ever been separate. On the seventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me, seven snowmare figures, six games, ponies play, five carrot cake cookies, four heating blankets, three windigos, two Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet!... On the 8th day of christmas,White. All he saw was endless white. Discord was sliding down a tunnel, made of ice, and Discord desperately tried to use his magic, but failed because of the powerful windigos and the storm. Then he started wondering. Where is Fluttershy? I heard her scream! Oh no. Please let her be safe. Discord was then thrown out of the slide and into the fluffy ground called snow. Discord, already freezing, looked around to see anything to stay at. He couldn't see much because of the winds blowing in his face, but luckily he saw a branch and lumbered to it. He then had an idea. He added snow to the perimeter of where he was going to shelter. It grew to a wall, and decided that it was enough, since it blocked the wind. Then it fell on his face. Great. He was useless without his powers, he couldn't see, and now what? He can't hear, because of the powerful winds?! "Hello?!" Discord heard a call from ahead. Discord knew how terrible these wind's are of transporting sound. So he was lucky to hear the call, not be the caller. Discord decided to jump each step, so he went against the wind to find this mystery caller. It took awhile before he saw a lump against the oddly smooth snow and jumped to that. He was really close when he heard the call again. "H-Hello?!" That call was coming from this lump. So, carefully stepping to the side, he walked around the mound and saw Derpy and Dinky, in a shivering mound. "Derpy?" Discord wondered why those two were out in the snow. "D-Discord? I-is F-Fluttershy with you?" Derpy asked Discord. Another wave of wind blew across Discord's face, so he huddled with them. "Why, what makes you say that?" Discord thought it wasn't obvious that he came from Fluttershy's cottage. "W-well, t-the closest h-house here is F-Fluttershy's house and I-I c-concluded that y-you were t-there. Y-you also have t-the s-similar c-clothing style a-as F-Fluttershy. *breathes through teeth*" Derpy chattered. "Y-you also d-don't chatter your t-teeth. So y-you m-must have come f-from a w-warm p-place." Discord was amazed by Derpy's observance. She may look dumb, but she is a smart cookie. "Weeeelll, you're correct. You see, Fluttershy asked to go check on her friends, and I couldn't leave her out here alone, so I should go with her in case there is danger. Then we got separated..." Discord would have twiddled his thumbs, but the blizzard kept him focused. "Okay... S-so could I a-ask you a question?" Derpy tried to make friction with her hooves as she said this. "Umm... Sure." Discord had no idea where this was going, but he still listened. "D-do you l-love her?" Derpy huddled around her daughter. "What?" Discord didn't know what she was going to say, but he didn't expect a question like that! "S-so, Do Y-you Love H-her?" Discord felt like Derpy was staring into his soul. He finally broke, and said: "Yes." Discord looked down. He couldn't stop the wave of emotions pouring out of his mouth, he felt a bit sorry for Dinky though. "I love her! I don't deserve her! But I cant stop this urge, to, to... to, hold her, and run my talons through her hair... I just cant live without her. It's not that I want her, I need her." Discord thought he was hopeless. Even if he could win her heart, she would always know of his terrible past. She doesn't even know half of it. "Discord. I-if I were n-not already married, I w-would fall for you." Derpy said bluntly. "You really think so?" Discord never knew he was good with words to impress anypony. Not Fluttershy. "I-I know so." Derpy gave him a look of support. "C-come on. W-we came looking f-for any survivors, a-and we got one." Before Discord could interfere, Dinky did. "What a-about F-Fluttershy M-mommy?" Dinky looked up at Derpy. "Oh. Well, O-off to find F-Fluttershy!" Derpy hopped over the snow wall that she built and went a certain direction. "Mommy? I-I think that is the w-wrong way." "I-I know that. W-We should g-go to Ponyvile so we c-can wait f-for h-her there." Fluttershy was a strong pony, she would find Rainbow dash, who was also looking for survivors. "O-okay Mommy." The trio hobbled toward the direction they were going to, and started getting blown by the wind. "W-where am I?" Fluttershy just got shot out of the slide that she fell in. Discord was not with her, obviously, but she felt like something was watching her. She looked around and saw white, and more white. Wait. She saw something rainbow. That had to be Rainbow Dash, but why would she be here? "Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy's mane was getting in her eyes, and she hated how it just made the wind's greater in her face. She stepped closer to the little mound in front of her, and kept on half-walking half-jumping over to it. There was a pony there, she knew it. She gasped as she saw that it was indeed Rainbow Dash. "Fluttershy!" "Rainbow!" The two childhood friends embraced in a hug. Fluttershy was happy to not be alone, and Rainbow Dash was worried sick about Fluttershy. "Fluttershy! I found you!" "You found me? I was always in my house! With Discord!" Fluttershy didn't know that Rainbow Dash was looking for her. Does that mean that her friends were looking for her too? "Wait one second. You, spent eight whole days with Discord?!" Rainbow Dash could not imagine living with that weirdo for eight, whole days! "Yes eight whole days! And I enjoyed his company! You shouldn't talk to him that way!" Fluttershy blushed like crazy about how she actually told Rainbow Dash about her time with Discord. "Whatever! We shouldn't be arguing. We have to find the rest of ponyville, there is eight ponies who are on lookout for survivors. Including me." Rainbow Dash trotted to a direction that Fluttershy didn't even know could be a possible route to ponyville. "Come on. We gota go back. They are waiting for us." Fluttershy was confused. Who were 'they'? "Who is 'they?'" Fluttershy trotted with her, the wind blowing her mane away. "The rest of the mane six, along with Derpy, Amethyst, Dinky, Octavia, Vinyl Scratch, and Mayor Mare." Fluttershy could not believe how little ponies were at ponyville. Her friends must really be missing her. "Okay. Let's go." On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, eight lookout ponies, seven snowmare figures, six games, ponies play, five carrot cake cookies, four heating blankets, three windigos, two Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet! On the 9th day of Christmas,Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were being blown this way and that, but that didn't stop the determined Rainbow Dash to keep on trotting to the supposed pathway to Ponyville. Behind her, was a very tired Fluttershy. She was trying as hard as she could to keep up with her friend, but kept on stopping because of over-exertion and with three hours of sleep. Fluttershy finally realized that she couldn't go on longer, so she told Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow.... I cant go on..." Fluttershy slunk to the fluffy snow and closed her eyes. "Fluttershy you can trot a couple more yards." Rainbow stopped because of the silent reply, so she looked behind her, and saw a lump of pink and blue fabric underneath snow. She immediately grabbed Fluttershy and hoisted her onto her back. Good thing she was light, because Rainbow Dash would have toppled over because of all the weight. She tried with all her might, and she sighed as she finally saw Ponyville's remains underneath three yards of snow. It was all down hill now, and Fluttershy was getting colder. Rainbow Dash would have to figure out a fast way to go down the hill. She would need some sort of sled. "Aha!" Rainbow announced as she saw a loose piece of bark from an apple tree. "I bet Applejack wont mind if I use her trees for good." So Rainbow ripped the piece of bark from the tree and she put it on the snowy ground. She realized it could only fit one pony and conflicted who should go. Fluttershy needed immediate help, since she could easily slip into hypothermia, and Rainbow Dash would have to go down too to refuel. She desperately looked around for any other pieces of loose bark. Sadly, there was none. So Rainbow Dash stayed true to her element and she set Fluttershy in a ball onto the sled and pushed her down the steep hill. Rainbow couldn't even fly since she had her wings underneath her snow-gear. She could only watch in fear as Fluttershy slid down, not knowing who could possibly save her. Something snapped inside of her, so she in-buttoned her jacket, and sweater, and opened her wings, and flew. Discord felt the air grow colder very quickly and realized it was turning night. Discord looked at Derpy and Dinky who were struggling against the wind, shivering. He was also struggling, the wind beating on their faces twenty-four-seven. When Discord looked ahead, he saw a tree, and decided that they should stay there for the night. He looked back at the two and realized they were very tired and cold. Realizing those were the first steps to getting hypothermia, he decided they had to go on, to Ponyville, wherever that was at. Derpy could only whisper a gasp as she saw Dinky trip, and fall face-first into the snow, not moving. Derpy's wonky eyes looked straight and were filled with terror and fear. Discord immediately scooped up Dinky and brushed off the snow off her face, the wind not bothering him as he did this. He also grabbed Derpy and ran to the top of the tree. He saw Ponyville, buried in hoofs of snow! He tried to think of a plan to get down, with this abnormally tall hill. He realized the biggest thing that was even close, was the tree. He pushed as hard as he could, and the tree didn't budge. He tried and tried again, but failed. He thought of Dinky's life, and Derpy's life. He didn't know them well, but he did know that you should be kind to everypony, and others. He pushed and pushed, each one making the tree a bit weak. Before he could push the tree again as his last one, he was over-exerting himself, but he didn't care. He could die of hypothermia, but he didn't care. He cared, about getting this little family back home, no mater what. As if that fueled his strength, the tree tipped over, and was ready to be sent down the hill. It was tipping, so he quickly set Dinky and Derpy onto the sled and it finally tipped over and flew down the hill. Discord then turned around, and let the wind do it's job. He fell down the hill. A purple unicorn was passing by and she noticed a little hill in the already flat snow. She trotted over to it and realized it was Dinky and Derpy out cold on a sled! Amethyst quickly grabbed the sled with her hooves and realized it was a tree. She gave a warning call by tapping her necklace and it sending a magical wave, alerting all the other ponies. It would show them the direction of where she was, and help her. Vinyl was the closest, and she was running at full speed towards Amethyst and she looked at the situation, and used her magic along with Amethyst's to carry the two bodies. They quickly ran to the medical tent, which was run by Twilight. "Twilight. We found these two, out cold, on a tree at the bottom of the hill. I think they got hypothermia!" Amethyst was panicking. She was shifting her hooves, wondering what she should do. Vinyl then tapped Amethyst's shoulder, and she looked at where Vinyl was pointing. It was another mound! This time, it looked like one body. It was pink, and blue, and yellow. "That's Fluttershy!" Amethyst shouted, and she galloped towards the still body of Fluttershy on a ripped piece of bark. She then saw Rainbow Dash quickly losing altitude. She was without any jacket or sweater! She in-gracefully flew to nowhere, and landed besides Amethyst. She looked at the medical tent, and quickly calculated that she could get Fluttershy to the tent, and probably get Rainbow Dash. She magically lifted Fluttershy and ran towards the tent. She gently placed down Fluttershy and went back for Rainbow Dash. She was growing paler, and Amethyst galloped as fast as she ever could and placed her down where there was room. She sat down herself, thankful for the rugs on the ground. She set her head down, and just numbly thought, so to speak. She then realized something. How could Derpy and Dinky go down the hill? She knew they were most likely to have hypothermia, so they must have been really cold, cold enough to lay stiffly, not able to push down a sled. She then looked out, one last time, and saw a rather large snowball rolling down the hill. "What the hay is that?" On the 9th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, nine hooves of snow, eight lookout ponies, seven snowmare figures, six games, ponies play, five carrot cake cookies, four heating blankets, three windigos, two Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet! On the 10th day of christmas,"T-Twilight?" Derpy whispered as she woke up. She realized she was in the medical tent. Oh no... What happened to me?! Derpy looked around her body, checking if she had any broken bones, which of course she didn't. She then saw her daughter, wrapped in a blue bundle, and huddled into a little ball near her. She reached her hoof out to touch her, and she was cold. As cold as snow. That's not good... "Oh I'm sorry Derpy, what was it you wanted?" Twilight came to her, in a soft voice as to keep the aura of a cozy home. "U-uh, is, Dinky, in hypothermia?" Twilight's face went so pity as she looked at Derpy. "I think she is. I read in my first aid book that I should wrap her body around with warm blankets at her shoulders and, well, her body temperature was... a 31 in Celsius." Twilight looked back at Dinky. "She is in a coma, for sure, but I think I can revive her, but with a very hard healing spell. Is that okay?" Derpy didn't know what to say. It was a common rule for ponies to treat physical injuries with physical remedies, and magical injuries with magical remedies. Her hypothermia was probably caused physically, but then again, this storm could be magical. So, should she risk her life to be injured, or death? "*sigh* You can do it, Twilight." Derpy kneeled down to Dinky and told her. "I don't care if you aren't listening, but I just want you to know, you are the best daughter I could ever ask for. I love you." Derpy kissed her daughter, and she stepped away from her, allowing Twilight to cast the spell. "Here it goes.." Twilight's horn lit up as she cast the spell. She was sweating a little from the new spell, and then dinky's body was wrapped in a yellow light, and then disappeared as the spell was finished. "*pant pant* Di-did it work?" Twilight asked Derpy, with her eyes closed. "I, I think so!" Derpy lightly touched her daughter and she was as warm as herself! The spell was a success! "*gasp!* She is all better! She is as warm as I am!" Derpy grinned as she touched Dinky's hair. "Good. Now let's hope there isn't any side effects. Which, I need to ask, did Dinky have any, disabilities?" Derpy cringed at that word. She was continuously reminded of her 'disability' and she was sick of it. But, this was a different matter, a princess was asking if anything was wrong, in case of her safety. "No, she didn't have anything wrong with her. She was my little muffin! She was finally able to lift up a glass of water, which is a good thing, since she was one of the first in her class to do so." Derpy smiled. "Okay. So, if anything out of the ordinary happens to her, alert me, and I will write it down." Derpy nodded in response. Derpy looked around the medical tent, to see if any other pony was in need of attention. She saw Rainbow Dash, typical, then she saw a yellow and pink Pegasus. Fluttershy! Derpy observed. She then saw Twilight trotting over to Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy to check their temperatures again. Twilight sighed as she read the temperatures. Derpy was curious to what the numbers were. "Twilight? What did they read?" Derpy asked Twilght. "*sigh* Rainbow Dash has hypothermia, and so does Fluttershy. Fluttershy especially. She is very pale, she is very tired, quick breaths and careless! Those are the core signs of hyperthermia. Rainbow Dash on the other hoof, she is okay. When she is waking, she slurs her speech, and she is very cold as well. What you and Amethyst need to do, is to take off your jackets, and other extra snow clothes, and pretty much lay down next to them as they are cold. This will hopefully help with body temperature. So, could you do that?" Twilight looked at Derpy with plead. Derpy smiled and nodded. She then stripped off her clothing and got next to Rainbow Dash, her filly-hood hero. Twilight put a blanket over them, and Derpy closed her eyes, though not able to sleep, since she just woke up. "Ugh... Where, am I?" Discord questioned himself as he saw brown. He turned his head, and looked around. He was near a tree, and snow. Of course it was snow. He sat up from laying down, and realized he used to be in a snowball from the fall off the hill. Why couldn't he have just walked down? Discord thought. He didn't really care. He didn't care about anything. Heck, he didn't even care if he died. Meh, he should just go somewhere, and just sleep. He was so fatigued and careless. lacking energy and optimism. Discord fell face first into the snow and just lay there. Not wanting to move at all. He didn't notice the lack of wind, due to the tree guarding him, neither the hoofsteps gradually growing louder. Amethyst was above him, shocked to say the least. She had not expected to come face first with the crazy dragon chimera! She also had not expected the draconequus to be... sleeping. Oh, how was she supposed to bring him back to camp? Well, she just had to try the best she could, but she shouldn't jerk him around, in fear of him getting a cardiac arrest. She then tapped her necklace and waited for more recruits. Hmm... This is a great place for camp! There is less wind here, there is trees, and there isn't much snow on the ground! Oh, Vinyl is here again. We should get going. Amethyst thought as she looked around and saw Vinyl Scratch. She saw Vinyl's confused expression as she looked at Discord. "Come on, we gota carry him back." Amethyst magically lifted him up, but almost dropped him as he spoke. "Flutturshee? Flutturshee? I'm issin' yer!" Discord slurred. He was clearly having the symptoms of hypothermia, he is slurring and is shivering like crazy! He is caring about Fluttershy though, Amethyst hopes he cares about other things besides Fluttershy. "Weh nev'r sed gebye!" We never said good bye?! What did Fluttershy have to do with Discord? She may get some answers, since they were already at the medical tent. So, they carefully lowered Discord to the blanketed ground and Amethyst went in with him. "Twilight? Discord said some interesting things while we were carrying him." Amethyst ignored the startled and surprised expression Twilight was wearing. Twilight shook it off, and then asked what he said. "Well, he said this in a slurred voice, 'Flutturshee? Flutturshee? I'm issin' yer!' and also, 'Weh nev'r sed gebye!' Isnt that weird? Fluttershy and Discord must be connected somehow. Now of course, I am not good friends with Fluttershy, but you are, so you may understand this." Amethyst said. "Well, i'll think about what he said, and oh! You have to lay with Fluttershy, she is very cold and is in need of warm body heat. So take off your snow clothes, and also shake off the snow out there." Twilight pointed towards the outside. "Oh, okay Twilight." So Amethyst stripped down and snuggled with Fluttershy. She listened to her pulse as she lay sleeping. She then mumbled something, but very quiet so Twilight didn't hear. "D-Discord..." On the 10th day of Christmas my true love gave to me, 10 signs of symptoms, 9 hooves of snow, 8 lookout ponies, 7 snowmare figures, 6 games, ponies play, 5, carrot cake cookies, 4 heating blankets, 3 windigos, 2 Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet! On the 11th day of christmas,Twilight's shift as the medic was finally over. She could finally take a break in the resting tent, well, more like the resting house. Twilight trotted over to the adjacent building, and was happy for the walls that led to the house, because otherwise, she would get cold, because of the flakes and wind. She opened the door with her magic and saw the breathing ponies laying on the ground with blankets. She went over to Starlight, the new rescued pony. She woke her up, and told her it was her shift. "Already? Well, okay." Starlight said. She got up, and Twilight took her blanket. Then Twilight settled down, and slept. Starlight then opened the door and went out. She went across the tarped pathway, and into the medical tent. She checked Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash, which Rainbow Dash had a 35 degrees Celsius. Fluttershy, however, had a low of 32 degrees Celsius. From Twilight's notes from the clipboard she gave her, Fluttershy had hypothermia, as she had expected, but if it gets 3 degrees lower, she could potentially die. Now wouldn't want that to happen. So, Starlight Glimmer prepared the warm water, and soaked some washcloths in the water. She placed the cloths onto the necks of Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, and their chests. She thought it would be good to make them hot, but Twilight said not too, and that they should be luke warm, not even warm. Starlight followed her directions. She then came across Dinky, who was breathing evenly. She felt her fur, and she was warm. That was a good sign.Starlight thought. She then saw Dinky turn, and she rolled slightly, just out of Derpy's sleepy grasp. So Starlight nudged Dinky and she moved back to Derpy's hooves. Starlight looked around, and saw a different bundle of blankets that she didn't notice before. She looked over to what it was, and it ended up that it was Discord! Then he mumbled something in his 'sleep'. He said this to Fluttershy, who was also mumbling. It sounded like a conversation. "Flutturshee?" "Discurd?" "I miss yer!" "I'm iss yer tu." That was really unusual. How can they understand each other while they are unconscious? Also, why is Discord caring so much about Fluttershy, in his state?! I know of all the letters they write back and forth, and also about the tea times that Fluttershy has with him on Wednesday, was it? Well, I can see from Twilight's notes that they have been doing this before, when Discord was hauled in, that he mentioned Fluttershy. He used to be very careless, except for Fluttershy. Now, why is he connected with Fluttershy, in their 'sleep?' Is it because of then having connected dreams? Is it because of their magical letters? Is it because.... Of them spending time together, all this time, for the holidays? Starlight was deep in thought. Well, maybe in five minutes Starlight could check on them again. Or less. She started sorting the clothes that were thrown on the ground. She found Fluttershy's scarf, mittens, hat, sweater, and jacket. She also noticed that Discord's style of clothing was very similar to Fluttershy's style of clothing. In total, she found 11 mittens, (someone lost theirs) 5 jackets, 4 sweaters, and a lot of hats and scarves. Fluttershy was seeing white, so she knew she was in the blizzard. But how? She looked around and she saw white, well except for a blotchy shape that was slowly going towards her. She tried to scream, but couldn't. She tried to run away, but couldn't. She could only watch as the gray thing came closer. She didn't know what the hay it was, but she just had a hunch that it was bad. She also tried to close her eyes, to not see this mysterious gray thing, and to also stop her nightmare, but her eyes stayed open, and occasionally blinking. She could only stare as the gray thing stand right in front of her, holding it's hand out, as if to dance. She couldn't help but accept it, since she had no control over what she was doing. The gray thing started swirling her around, making her move. It then dipped her, and through all the dancing, the thing made the snow start slowing down, and the winds to stop as well. It looked like paradise. She then looked at the scenery, then back up at the gray thing, and what used to be a scary blob, then turned into the head of Discord. And of course the rest of his body. He then twirled her around again, and then stopped her. They both just stood there, not knowing of what their uncontrolled bodies did. Discord then pulled out a small, light blue box. The same color as her eyes. He then opened it, and kneeled down. Discord then said the magical words. "Will you marry me?" Fluttershy just stared in awe as she watched Discord. He looked so handsome, and charming, in his chaotic way. But she just couldn't do it. She wasn't ready. She wasn't ready for marriage. Discord sighed, then danced with her again. The snow swirled around them, and made them float up into the air. The two danced their hearts out, and looked into each other's eyes. How could a nightmare, turn into such a perfect dream? Then they were lowered back down, as they watched the snowflakes gently swirl by. They then slow danced, with the soft winds making the music. Discord then looked into Fluttershy's eyes, and asked the words again. "Will you marry me?" Before Fluttershy coud respond, the air swallowed them, as Fluttershy and Discord woke up. On the 11th day of Christmas my true love gave to me, 11 mittens, 10 signs of symptoms, 9 hooves of snow, 8 lookout ponies, 7 snowmare figures, 6 games, ponies play, 5, carrot cake cookies, 4 heating blankets, 3 windigos, 2 Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet! On the 12th day of christmas,Starlight was checking on the ponies who were having hypothermia. She continuously replaced the cold cloths and replaced it with warm ones. Well, more like luke-warm ones. She checked everypony's temperatures, which Rainbow Dash had a 36, and Fluttershy and Discord had a 35! How odd is it for those two to have the same recovery time, and the same temperature? Starlight thought. Yes, she was still theorizing. She concluded that they just had a connection while they were sleeping. She noticed the jerky movements from Discord that showed that he was dreaming, and from Fluttershy, well, she was kicking a little, which was a funny sight. Starlight then saw Dinky's eyes flutter open. Dinky just woke up. She yawned and stretched slightly. She then saw Starlight staring at her. Dinky gave her a weird look. "Umm, who are you?" Dinky said in her bubbly voice. "Oh, well, um, My name is Starlight Glimmer. And I am here to stay. I was here to heal you, and to make you well again, so you can play okay." Dinky realized the catchy tune from one of Pinkie Pie's songs. It was the exact same, or, at lest very similar. So Dinky hummed with Starlight. "You've had something called, Hypo-thermia. So let me heal you, so stay awake, then you can stay alive." Dinky understood what Starlight meant. She was having, whatever she just mentioned, and she needs to rest. "'Cause I need you to recover and heal, oh yes, I so very do. It makes me happy to see you bright and, lively, oh yes it does. Because the key of living, is to stay healthy. Oh just stay alive my friends." Starlight's little song ended and Dinky clopped with her little hooves. "That was great Starlight! You sang beautifully! So, you are a, Doctor? That heals ponies? And, well, doesn't do time travelly stuff. Right?" Starlight was a bit amused, since she knew the comprehension of the little pony, and also, that she did actually travel time. How ironic. "Umm, that's right. Now, would you help me around the tent? Or would you like to go back to sleep?" Starlight offered. "I want to help you around the tent! 'cause Helping is caring! Oh wait. That's sharing. But i think it's still the same thing. Oh whatever." Dinky got up from her cozy spot and slipped on a sweater. She then trotted on over to Starlight. "Okay Dinky. So what we have to do, is that we have to take off the cloths from the cold ponies' shoulders and chest. You then give me the cloths and I will exchange, and give you some warm ones. Okay?" Dinky nodded in response. Dinky ran over to Discord, who was the closest. She stared at Discord for a while, then took his cloths by her mouth. She then hoofed them to Starlight. "Wait. Aren't you a, unicorn?" Starlight gazed at her horn. "Well, yeah. But I couldn't grab stuff with magic all of a sudden. It's weird. Well, I guess I will have to do it earth pony style!" Dinky trotted on over to Rainbow Dash and grabbed her cloth, squinting, but then deciding that she should just stick with grabbing it with her mouth. Starlight looked at her checklist, and realized that Twilight noted another thing. I did a spell, and used it on Dinky. Wake me if she is dying, then I will come, but if she is not, then note what is happening. Oh okay, maybe she is just, having a little hiccup. I hope. Starlight decided to run some tests on Dinky, after she gave her the cloths. When Dinky gave Fluttershy the cloths, Starlight called her over. "Dinky? Do you mind if I run some tests on you? To see if you really recovered from, Hypothermia." Starlight was lying. She hoped Dinky didn't notice. Starlight did a spell, and made an eye chart appear. Dinky called out the letters, grudging every letter. She covered her right eye, then her left eye. She got perfect vision, which was amazing. Then she set up a pen, and Dinky could lift it up, but only for a second. Dinky was shocked herself about her failure. She then tried a simple piece of paper, and she couldn't even lift that up! Dinky sat down, her eyes watering. Starlight did a quick test, then she saw what was wrong. Dinky had horn inversus. "Dinky, you have a side effect from Twilight casting a spell on you, to cure you of your hypothermia. You see, she told me that you were almost about to die, and she had to do this one spell to keep you alive. Now, you know how there is alway's a twist to everything? Well, your horn got twisted in a way, so now, instead of your horn being, counter clockwise, it is clockwise. I'm sorry Dinky." Starlight felt true pity for her. "*sniff sniff* I don't want your pity!" Dinky shouted. She then covered her mouth with one of her hooves. "I'm sorry, well, not sorry. Sorry doesn't give you anything, only pity." Dinky then stomped away, off to an obscure room. "*sigh* I, I just don't know what to tell her! She is such a cute filly, and I cant just wipe that attitude of hers, away. She was always cheerful, always looking on the good side. Now, she has a permanent disability. Just like her mother. I can tell she is always so sick and tired of ponies calling her mother names, and now her. Oh, what should I do?" Starlight said out loud. She tried to think of things that Dinky likes, and, all Starlight could come up with, is muffins. "Maybe I could bake muffins with her." Starlight concluded. Dinky was sulking in the corner, making herself miserable. Starlight was behind her, and she couldn't think of what to say. Dinky had heard Starlight walk in, and now she spoke. "I thought I told you to not pity me." Dinky's voice was shaky. Starlight could tell that she was still getting over crying. Starlight then had an idea. "Dinky, I'm sorry that, well, you already know. So, I guess what I'm trying to say is, do you want to make muffins with me?" Starlight knew Dinky would reject it, but to her surprise, Dinky accepted. "Sure, but as long as you don't use your magic." Starlight understood and nodded. Before Starlight went to go make muffins with Dinky, she went to wake up Twilight, so she could have her shift. "Twilight? It's Starlight. I am making muffins with Dinky. Could you please take over while I'm gone?" Twilight was still rubbing her eyes. "Oh really? Well, I guess that's okay. I will be medic for now. Oh, don't forget to wash your hooves!" Twilight mumbled as she walked out of the room and into the medical tent. "Okay Dinky. Let's go make a dozen muffins!" Starlight ran up to Dinky. "Thank you Starlight. And, I'm sorry for what I said to you." "Me too." On the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me, 12 muffins a making, 11 mittens, 10 signs of symptoms, 9 hooves of snow, 8 look out ponies, 7 snowmare figures, 6 games, ponies play, 5 carrot cake cookies, 4 heating blankets, 3 windigos, 2 Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet! On the 13th day of christmas,When Fluttershy and Discord woke up, they both just had their eyes open, but not actually lifting their heads. Twilight was looking over Rainbow Dash, the pony who was between them. Fluttershy patiently waited for Twilight to finish, so she could talk to her. Discord on the other hoof, was trying to go back to sleep. Twilight was right in front of Fluttershy, and Fluttershy was starting to get up. "Hey Twilight?" Fluttershy lifted her head so she could look at Twilight. "Oh Fluttershy! You're finally awake!" Twilight was so glad that Fluttershy was now conscious, as in, awake. "Finally? Oh, was I out long?" She had no idea that she had slept in, or where she was. "Oh yes you were. You had hypothermia. And, you were unconscious for a good 3 days." Fluttershy could not believe her ears, she had hypothermia?! "Oh. Well, may I ask, what happened that caused me to, go into hypothermia?" Fluttershy didn't remember much about what brought her here, much less, where she is. She decided to look around for a quick second. It seemed like she was in some sort of room, for ponies who were in need of recovery. "Well, I think Rainbow here has a better story to tell, rather than me." Twilight moved away, and Rainbow Dash was right near her. "*gasp!* Rainbow Dash! You're awake!" Fluttershy hugged her, with happiness that another friend shared a thought with her. "Yeah, and you are too!" Rainbow returned the gesture. "Oh, the story, right. So, we were out in the blizzard, right?" "Yeah, I was just leaving my house with Discord, but then Discord slipped into a tunnel and I did as well, except it was a separate one. Keep on going!" Fluttershy sat and listened. "So then you were in the blizzard, and you immediately saw me, because of my mane and fur color. Then we trekked across the snow, and I was hoping that we could get to Ponyville as fast as possible. You know, Ponyville is under 9 hooves of snow! But then, you got really tired, and a bit pale for that matter, and you said something along the lines of: 'oh I cant make it Rainbow Dash,' or, 'I'm going to fall.'" Fluttershy faintly remembered saying that. She was really cold at the time, and she was fainting because of over-exertion. "I thought you were just faking, but when I looked back, you were lying on the snow! I then grabbed you and hoisted you onto my back. I finally made it to the mysterious hill, that appeared out of Ponyville, for some odd reason. It was really steep, and there was nothing to sled you down, except for a small piece of bark. I knew you couldn't make it any longer without heat, so I pushed you down the hill, while you were in a little ball on the bark. I had no way of going down. If I walked down, I would probably trip, or I may take too long and die. And if I rolled down, I would get very cold. So, I had to do what my brain was telling me to do at the time; fly down." Fluttershy gasped at what Rainbow Dash had done. Pegasai sweaters usually had no wing holes, since it would be too cold to fly. Rainbow Dash, must have took off her sweater, and probably jacket, and flew down there! "I know what you are thinking Fluttershy. I was really dumb to do that, but I was cold at the time! I was doing the first plan that probably came to mind! So, I took off my sweater and jacket, and flew down. I was freezing cold, but I didn't care. I knew I had to get down, no matter what. So, I eventually lost air, because of the ridiculous winds, and that I didn't have much energy left. So, the last thing I knew, was that I muzzle-dived to the snow." Flutttershy could not believe it, Rainbow Dash almost sacrificed herself so she could go down with her. "Wow." Was all Fluttershy could say. Rainbow Dash was then called over by Twilight to run some tests on Rainbow Dash, so she could be fully prepared to save more ponies. Fluttershy then settled back down. She was a tad bored. If only there would be fun right now. The funniest ponies out there were Pinkie, and Cheese Sandwich, but Pinkie is somewhere, and Cheese is out doing his business. That only leaves to a certain draconequus that caught her eye while she was looking around. "Discord?" Fluttershy whispered. hmm? Oh, I must be dreaming. Discord thought. "Discord?" Fluttershy whispered again. That sounds too much like the real Fluttershy! Discord moved his head from his sleeping position, and turned it towards the source of the sound. "Fluttershy?" "Discord!" They harmonized. "Oh Fluttershy, I thought you were still out there!" "Me too. Oh, I have so many things to ask you, oh where do I start?" Fluttershy thought about it for one moment, and then decided to go with the one that was still fresh in her mind. "How did you escape from the blizzard?" "Me? I escaped with Derpy and Dinky! I was trying to go with them, but they started getting really tired, so I had to carry them to Ponyville, until I met up with the big hill! I had to knock over a tree, which had then drained practically all my energy, but I almost gave up, then the tree tilted and fell. I quickly put them on the tree, and then it went down the hill." Discord said quickly, so he could hear Fluttershy's sweet voice. "Well, did you hear the conversation that I had with Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy asked Discord. "Yes. Well, I have another question." "What is it Discord?" Fluttershy was curious to what he was going to say. "Umm, uhh... Did you, have a dream, last night?" Discord hoped it wasn't just his imagination. "Y-yes. What was, yours about?" Fluttershy thought the same as Discord did. "I, I guess it was, about you." Discord hoped Fluttershy didn't think he was ridiculous in his imagination. "Really?! You're, you're serious?" Fluttershy couldn't believe what Discord was implying. "Yes?" "Well, that's interesting, since I had a dream about you too!" Discord's face lightened up as she said this. "What did I do in your dream?" Discord was very curious to see if his dream, was the exact same as her dream. "Well, first, I was in a blizzard, then I saw a gray thing walking towards me. I couldn't control my body at all! The gray thing got closer, and closer," Oh no, please don't let hers be a nightmare, Discord thought. "And it then held out a hoof as if to dance. I couldn't help but accept it. So, the gray thing and I danced around, then I looked elsewhere, and when I looked back at the blob, I saw you. I grew more happy as we danced our hearts out, and soon the snow was stopping in mid-air, and the wind was gone. We then started floating, and danced some more. Then we came back down, and you asked the weirdest thing; Will you marry me? I was afraid. I did want to, but I knew I would have to accept reality some day. Then you put away the box, and we danced again, this time, right before I woke up, you asked me again; will you marry me?" Fluttershy stared into Discord's eyes. They read confusion, excitement, and also love. "You what's even funnier?" Discord was glad of Fluttershy's connected dream. "I had this dream for 13 days, ever since I came to your home. I've always had a fake Fluttershy in my dreams, but now, I had the real Fluttershy." Fluttershy saw the dreaminess in Discord's eyes. He started leaning in, and Fluttershy crashed her lips against his. She closed her eyes, and so did Discord. Little did they know, Starlight, Dinky, Derpy, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Amethyst heard the whole conversation. On the 13th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, 13 Flutter dreams, 12 muffins a making, 11 mittens, 10 signs of symptoms, 9 hooves of snow, 8 lookout ponies, 7 snowmare figures, 6 games, ponies play, 5 carrot cake cookies, 4 heating blankets, 3 windigos, 2 Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet! On the 14th day of christmas,"I cant believe it." Rainbow Dash muttered. Fluttershy and Discord opened their eyes as they saw Starlight, Twilight, Derpy, Dinky, Rainbow Dash and Amethyst. "Umm..." Fluttershy hid behind her mane as she scooted closer to Discord. "I cant believe it." Rainbow Dash was still muttering to herself, but Discord could see Derpy looking straight at him, smiling at him. She mouthed, good job! Meanwhile, Starlight and Twilight were staring at each other, unsure of what to say. Amethyst finally spoke, saying, "I didn't know they were together!" By this time, Fluttershy got a very serious blush, and her face went aflame. There was then some more awkward silence, then Rainbow Dash shouted. "I CANT BELIEVE IT!" She was beyond shocked to how Fluttershy could, could, could openly kiss Discord! She flew her short distance to Fluttershy and turned her head towards her. "HOW CAN YOU KISS THAT, THAT GUY?!" Fluttershy winced at Rainbow Dash's volume. She then shrank back towards Discord, who immediately wrapped his mis-matched arms around her body. Discord then replied. "Of course she kissed 'that guy!' She kissed the guy that she wanted to! Now, Rainbow Dash, do you even know what Fluttershy and I have done together?!" Rainbow couldn't think of what to say. She couldn't believe what Fluttershy did, or, at least she suspected. Discord's answer also left her thinking, besides being speechless. What. Have. They. Been. Doing? "Discord? I, I think you may want to explain." Twilight was probably thinking what Rainbow Dash was thinking as well. "What do I need to explain? We like each other! I stayed at Fluttershy's house for the holidays, not knowing the snow was going to get this bad. Do I really need to explain any more?" Upon Discord's explanation, Fluttershy's face got pale. She was thinking the sole words, like each other, like, each, like... like... Fluttershy then cried.Discord saw her 14 tears that fell onto the mat so he automatically slipped down to the mat they were sitting on, and went to a lying pose with Fluttershy. Everypony heard her whimpers and sobs, muffled because of Discord's fur. They then slowly trotted away, even Derpy, who knew they needed their own talking space. By the time everypony was gone, he then started talking. "Fluttershy, you can tell me anything, remember?" Discord ran his fingers through her hair, as he heard her crying slow. "*sniff sniff* I, I know that. It's, it's just that, so much has been going on." Fluttershy's muffled voice came to Discord's ears. "I know that. You know what? How about we just take this, one at a time." Discord suggested. "O-okay. *clears throat* For s-starters, I cant believe Rainbow Dash's reaction. I, I thought she would be okay with it, but I guess not." Fluttershy thought she would be loyal, but maybe this is the wrong case. "And the other thing?" Discord couldn't think of anything else that would make Fluttershy cry, until, she spoke. "You liked me." "What? What's so wrong about that?" His response was another cry. "Y-you like me, unlike our dream..." Fluttershy was still thinking about that one phenomenon. Would she have said yes? "Fluttershy, do you know what you just felt?" Discord was trying so hard not to smirk. "What?" "You just got friend-zoned." Fluttershy stared at him for a moment, then he started laughing. Which confused Fluttershy. "I-I'm sorry, I guess I must have not explained why. You see, when you like someone, but the other guy said he just thinks you are a friend, or in this case, he just 'likes you', you feel rejected. Now don't you understand?" Fluttershy then understood, but was still hurt inside. She didn't know what to say to Discord. "Y-yes." Was the only word she could muster, without breaking again. Discord saw Fluttershy's face. She was still melancholy, and Discord had to cheer her up. He then gave an expression, as if to show he just had a brilliant idea. Discord then got up from his spot, and held out his hand. Fluttershy was relating this scenario to her dream. She slowly took his hold, and he pulled her off the ground, and they were in the middle of the room. Fluttershy, at first, was still feeling a bit sad, so she looked around, to see if her friends were nearby to watch, which they were not. She looked back up to Discord's face, and she saw that it showed brightness and warmth, her whole mood changed. Yes, it was exactly like their dream, they were dancing through out the night, always looking into each other's eyes. It was perfect. They danced all the way up to the top of the tent, thanks to their wings, and they continued to dance up there. They lowered back down, yet in a spinning motion. They both didn't want to stop. So they kept on dancing and dancing and dancing. They slowly went to a stop, and Fluttershy's heart skipped a beat as she saw Discord bend down to one knee. He pulled out a small blue box, the same color as the one in her dream. He said the words that Fluttershy didn't know the answer to; "Will you marry me?" Fluttershy didn't want him to keep on waiting, so she thought it through quickly, but thoroughly. She then said a very prideful response. That response was "Yes." On the 14th day of Christmas my true love gave to me, 14 sorrow, filled tears, 13 flutter dreams, 12 muffins a making, 11 mittens, 10 signs of symptoms, 9 hooves of snow, 8 lookout ponies, 7 snowmare figures, 6 games, ponies play, 5 carrot cake cookies, 4 heating blankets, 3 windigos, 2 Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet! On the 15th day of christmas,So by the time the rest of the ponies went back into the medical tent, they saw no one inside. Rainbow Dash was still suspecting Discord, Starlight was wondering how they got out so silently, and Amethyst and Derpy? Well, they both are having the time of their lives 'shipping' Fluttershy and Discord. Twilight was probably wondering about other things. By now, Pinkie Pie and Mayor Mare, came back to Ponyville, with the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Behind them, were Octavia, Applejack and Rarity, with Lyra and Bonbon. They were all freezing cold, and Starlight and Twilight noticed that. So they immediately set up warm cloths and the needed supplies for treatment of hypothermia. Apple Bloom almost instantly lied down onto the mats and blankets that were provided. Spike was at the back of the crowd, who had icicles hanging from his nose. Twilight bet that he couldn't even make a spark, since he was that cold. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo came trotting to the mats, which Spike almost got ran over in the process. Either way, the fillies, and dragon, made their way to the mats. Mayor Mare, was coughing, Pinkie was shivering, Octavia was numb all over, and Rarity was chattering. Lyra and Bonbon were having sore throats. Applejack was having the worst of them all, she was nearly unconscious. AJ just stumbled and fell to the ground, making the ponies next to her, (Lyra and Bonbon) gasp, but resort in coughs. "How did you ponies make it?" Derpy was the first to speak. It was everyone's question in they had in mind. "W-We, w-were, t-taking c-camp, every s-so often." Rarity chattered. "Oh." Derpy decided to leave the conversation, since Dinky yawned. She led her daughter to the resting house, and she snuggled up with her. "We stayed in the schoolhouse, the bell tower, and the clubhouse apparently." Octavia explained. "That makes much more sense now!" Amethyst tried to contribute. Then again, she couldn't really relate to what they were talking about, so she decided to try to look for Fluttershy and Discord. So Amethyst grabbed her turquoise sweater, and went down a tarped pathway. She then ended up in a room with some left over furniture, and it looked a living room. Hey look! There's a fireplace! I hope it still works. She thought. She put some wooden logs that were beside the brick structure, and used her magic to make fire. The logs became aflame, and Amethyst was sure that there was nothing stuck in the chimney, by knowing the smoke was going up into the chimney. She saw there was stairs to go up, so Amethyst climbed up the stairs, to venture what was nearby. When she was at the second floor, she saw a bed, a nightstand, and a lamp. She then saw two still bodies, but occasionally breathing. She creeped over, and saw the face of a sleeping Fluttershy, and Discord. She was a bit shocked, but she knew of Fluttershy's and Discord's relationships a little bit, so she knew that they shared a bed if they wanted too. She started creeping back down the stairs, but stopped because of Fluttershy speaking. "Discord?" "Yes?" "It's official, that, we, are engaged?" What?! Engaged?! Amethyst had to stifle a gasp. "Yes, what makes you say that my dear?" "Well, just making sure." "Well, good night." "Good night." That... Was a tad awkward... Aren't I eavesdropping? Amethyst thought to herself as she stepped down the stairs as silent as a cat. She then encountered Rainbow Dash, who was at the tarped path. "Where's Discord and Fluttershy? Have you seen them?" Rainbow looked hysterical. "Umm, maybe. Why?" Amethyst was confused as to why Rainbow Dash was looking for those two. "They froze the cutie mark crusaders!!" "What?! How?!" Amethyst thought that Discord was reformed, and from what she heard up there, they seem like a perfect match. "Twilight thinks these windigos, the horses that are causing this big mess of a blizzard, are also part changeling! Therefore, they feed on love, and hate!" Rainbow was clearly stating the obvious, as though everypony knew it by heart. "Okay, so, how does this relate to Fluttershy and Discord?" Amethyst was defending them, she doesn't think that they did anything wrong. They were just enjoying each other's company. "Well, there was 15 windigos in total, and 3 were totally different from the rest! One looked like Discord, and another looked like Fluttershy! Then one looked like it was in charge, but looked like no pony that I've seen! You see?! They are the culprits!" Rainbow was ready to critic every false word at this point, and Amethyst was still confused; how does this make them guilty? "Well, I'm not sure I agree with you about that, but may I see the trio that got frozen?" Amethyst doubted that they even got frozen. She walked in and... "*GASP!*" She saw the 3 frozen fillies stuck in solid ice. One with the red parka, that was Applebloom, another in a purple dress, Sweetie Belle, and one with an orange hoodie, and that was Scootaloo. Amethyst didn't even notice the 3 windigos circling the ponies who were jaw-dropped at the frozen statues. They were very similar to Fluttershy and Discord, but the last one, looked like a whispy pony with a flowing dress. Her name, was Pyry, the leader of the Snowdigos. On the 15th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, 15 Snowdigos, 14 sorrow, filled tears, 13 flutter dreams, 12 muffins a making, 11 mittens, 10 signs of symptoms, 9 hooves of snow, 8 lookout ponies, 7 snowmare figures, 6 games, ponies play, 5 carrot cake cookies, 4 heating blankets, 3 windigos, 2 Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet! Author's Note I did a thousand words!!! *feels proud for myself* On the 16th day of christmas,"What should we do, my queen?" One of the windigos asked Pyry, the leader of the snowdigos. "Don't you know what we should do? We should break those two up!" Pyry schemed as she looked into the blizzard, her snowdigos saw the pony's body temperatures. Meanwhile she was different. She could see pony's aura of emotion. She saw the butter Pegasus laying with that chimera. Their inter-winded bodies were surrounded by pink wisps of light, love. Yuck. Even she herself was not cool with that relationship. She herself, a hybrid, would not even think about going out with a colt! It would not a line with mother nature, and she herself was a mistake! Oh, just thinking about what the kids would look like if she were to mate. The thought alone made her shiver in disgust. Why did mother and father have to meet up? "Why are you just wisping there, get moving!" Pyry ordered the one windigos who was just standing there. She floated to where her fellow snowdigos were wisping. There was one that transformed into a pony that looked like the butter Pegasus, Fluttershy, and another, who was more advanced in transforming, looked like the draconequus, Discord. Except, it looked a bit wonky, since the snowdigo made Discord's head a bit to round, and resulted in a blob shaped face. Pyry just face-palmed at his mistake. Stupid brother... She thought. "Look Eryi." Pyry transformed into Discord perfectly, so she pridefully showed her brother that she could change. "See? Not that hard." She turned around and swished her dragon tail as she went up to her throne. She heard snickering behind her, and she glared at her brother and sister, who were the culprits. "What did you do?" Eryi just pointed at her scales with his snow hoof. She then looked to see a piece of paper saying: I sTuPiD! Eryi's and his sister Chilam's giggles escaped from their mouths and they brusted out laughing. Pyry just rolled her eyes at their antics. Again. She was a bit sick and tired of their goofing off. They were just showing every windigo that the snowdigos were just immature. Which was the exact opposite that she wished they would act. She couldn't even believe that she was even related to those weirdos. She was here to be the leader of the Windigos, but soon to be Snowdigos. Pyry just couldn't be a bad example for the mystical windigos. She had to put a stop to this. "Eryi, Chilam, if you too's behavior keeps up, you know the consequence." Pyry knew they dreaded the consequence, every windigo dreaded the consequence. It could include being in the sun room, being associated with vaccums, and fire. Pyry switched back to her snowdigo frame. She looked like a white pony, but with the continuous flurries of snow trailing behind her head, like turquoise hair. She had piercing blue eyes, and she had snowflakes all over her hooves, 16 in counting. Then to top it all off, she had a flowing dress that had snowflakes, and wind literally on the dress. She liked her appearance, where her mane looks flowing, no matter what. She then pointed her hoof to the door, which was made out of ice. They were in their Flurry palace, where everything was cold, windy, and perfect. Eryi and Chilam obeyed their older sister's commands and walked through it to their rooms. Pyry settled herself onto the light blue throne that was made up of permafrost as the seat and frost as the cushion. She sat her flank onto the comfy cushion and sat there, her hoof to her cheek, bored out of her mind. Well, she may as well start on the new orders to the Windigos, or, even better, go out herself and impersonate those perfect ponies. "Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?" Amethyst was singing the happy tune, in spite of the grief aura surrounding the cutie mark crusaders and the grief filled ponies huddled around them. "Oh I'm listen' alright. Don't ya see mah littl' sissy here is frozen solid?!" Applejack was growing as hysterical as Rainbow Dash, even though she is on the mats. "Applejack, I perfectly see her frozen, but I still cant believe that they even got frozen solid! Just how can that scientifically happen?" Amethyst did not mention to anypony that she saw Discord and Fluttershy, sleeping together. She cant really imagine them being the cause of this, but she wont speak against it, because it will more than likely, result in her friends shouting against her. "Who else do you think did it?! They feed on love, so they must be it!" Amethyst was growing tired of this one sided argument. "AJ! Stop it! I am sick of your debating, with no concrete evidence!" Amethyst's eyes started watering, but she didn't care. "Oh, I'ma sure you have concrete evidence huh? Tell us then!" AJ was resorting back to her stubborn self, but something seems off about her. Though, Amethyst was too angry to think of this, and snapped. "I SAW THEM SLEEPING TOGETHER!!!!" Amethyst saw one quick look at the crowd, and then she ran away to some unknown house. Applejack made a sudden move, and then she sneered at Amethyst. She shouldn't trust a 16 year old mare, she is still a filly. AJ knew deep down that she was not her usual self, but her outside quickly rotted, as she turned her head away as well. On the 16th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, 16 winter snowflakes, 15 snowdigos, 14 sorrow, filled tears, 13 flutter dreams, 12 muffins a making, 11 mittens, 10 signs of symptoms, 9 hooves of snow, 8 lookout ponies, 7 snowmare figures, 6 games, ponies play, 5 carrot cake cookies, 4 heating blankets, 3 windigos, 2 Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet! On the 17th day of christmas,Fluttershy woke up. She felt the spot next to her, and it was cold. Where's Discord? She thought. She groggily rubbed her eyes as she looked around. She was in a bedroom, but with stairs leading down. She was just about to get out of bed to put on a sweater, but she then saw two mis-matched antlers bobbing, as though a certain draconequus was walking up the stairs. Fluttershy just exclaimed at him. "Discord! You're here! Where have you been? Did you wake up, and couldn't go back to sleep?" Fluttershy also got out of bed and put on her nearby sweater. She was still half asleep, so she didn't notice Discord's reaction to her statement. He repulsed at the innocence of her actions. She just walked to his side and looked up to him. He so wanted to smack that little grin off her, but he had to keep his character, because if he didn't, well, she would notice. "Well sweetie, I, um... just needed to get some air. After all, we are cooped up in this room." He nervously grinned, he hoped this went over Fluttershy's head. She seemed like she took the excuse. Oh boy, is she motioning, that I, hug her? Oh please, I don't want to do lovey dovey stuff with her! Oh no. She.. she kissed me. Fluttershy crooked her head at Discord. He was just staring at the wall, probably in his mind. Oh, did I startle him with my kiss? She thought. Fluttershy didn't think much about the unusualness of his actions. He was just probably getting a bit claustrophobic, like he said. She slinked passed Discord's still body and went down the stairs. She saw that there was a fire place, and the fire inside was dying. She placed some more logs into the mantle and the flames arose again. She sat down next to the fire place, and decided to warm up. She looked at the stairs, and saw Discord finally walk down. He saw her staring at him, and muttered a "oh." as he went to Fluttershy and wrapped his body around her, awkwardly. Apparently she thought it was comfy, because she lied her chin onto his fur. He shivered at the touch, and got reminded of his order. He had to make Fluttershy jealous of Discord, but how? She's just so kind, like her element, but she is certainly something else. She is gullible. He decided for Discord to 'like' somepony else, but whom? He remembered the scrolls of names that he found in the ponyville town hall. He decided that, there is this one farmer who is quiet as her, but then again, since he was Discord, he had to find a match with someone else. It cant be a pony that she can just 'stare' down, like her friends, or it cant be someone she despises. Well, she doesn't have anypony she despises. Wait. She cant stare down a pony higher than her, or more worthy than her... He got his answer. But how should he interpret the princess into this love life, and make it a love triangle? He got the perfect plan. Amethyst was eavesdropping, again. She was looking at the two love birds, laying at the fireplace. She already had breakfast, so there was no need to go back. She looked at Discord's behavior. She noticed that, he was acting a bit different. Maybe he was itching to do chaos? Then he would me more jumpy and at the edge of his seat. No it's not that. Wait. What about his character? He is very random, but this looks like an impersonation! She was glad that she went in the tardis a few times with her dad, because she would have never known any difference between Discord, and this Discord. He would probably be all sappy around her, but this one seems resistant. Sort of, trying to do the least possible things with Fluttershy. Amethyst could just imagine herself in a black-and-white scene. Amethyst Whooves as the detective. She is a newbie on the job, but has learned a lot from her mentor; Doctor Whooves. Yeah okay, it's a bit childish, but she didn't really mind. She was a bit exaggerating the plot, but she was trying to have fun in the gloomy environment. She had to do something about the mystery of why the trio of fillies got frozen. Maybe Fluttershy knows about something... Then again she should probably wait until they were done having their 'time together.' So she decided to start off with why there was a blizzard. She could ask the panicky Rainbow Dash, about the inside scoop. "Rainbow Dash? May I ask a few questions?" Amethyst said as she levitated a small notebook and quill. "Me? Why, I don't have enough time for, well, I guess I could answer a few questions." Rainbow Dash settled herself down onto the nearby chair. "So Miss Dash, do you have any facts to why there is a blizzard? Maybe in the weather factory, something backfired?" Rainbow Dash was a bit surprised that she used the context; 'miss dash" in a way to show formality. "Well, not that I remembered. I could say that the weather factory practically got destroyed by the blizzard! So I think it may not be the pegasi who was doing it." Finally, Rainbow Dash was co-operating. She scribbled down these notes onto her notepad. "Anything else?" "Oh yeah! I remember that there was faint pony shapes out my window. I also had to go to the ground, since the weather above was too violent." Faint pony shapes? Maybe windigos? Amethyst thought. "Thank you Miss Dash. Now you are dismissed." Amethyst watched Rainbow Dash trot away. With this evidence, hopefully filling up the 17 pages, she would be able to piece together this mystery of the windigos. On the 17th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, 17 notepad pages, 16 winter snowflakes, 15 snowdigos, 14 sorrow, filled tears, 13 flutter dreams, 12 muffins a making, 11 mittens, 10 signs of symptoms, 9 hooves of snow, 8 lookout ponies, 7 snowmare figures, 6 games, ponies play, 5 carrot cake cookies, 4 heating blankets, 3 windigos, 2 Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet! On the 18th day of christmas,Pyry was watching her brother perform as Discord from the ice floor. The floor acted like a gigantic television, which was a fun perk her castle did. She just had to tap the floor twice, then say "Show me Discord." Or any other name you would like to see. The screen would then show you the desired pony you are looking for. Now with this, you have to say the names, not their appearance. Pyry would have to say Eryi, instead of Discord. Speaking of, she watched "Discord" lay down with Fluttershy, and waited until she was asleep. He then tapped his fingers twice onto the ground, and then transformed into his snowdigo self. She watched him fly away, over to the ice palace, and also watched the real Discord sleep with Fluttershy. She heard the pounding of hooves on the ice door, and she glided over to it and opened it for him. "Excellent work, Eryi. Now there was a few hiccups, but I think Fluttershy here, thought it was normal." Eryi still had trouble remembering that his big sister had the big screen on the floor, and that she could see anypony she wanted too. "Yes. She did my queen." Eryi cringed at the word. "My plan for those two to separate, could be where the chimera, would go out with the princess." Pyry liked her little brother's thinking. She was going more to the separate them forever! move, but his approach, made it seem more wicked, and cold. She liked cold. "Nice work of jealousy Eryi. This plan should work. Thank you." What the heck?! She took my idea! She said thank you! Wow, maybe she is changing for the better. Nah, she will more than likely involve more consequences later on. That's probably why she is so nice. As Eryi trotted away, Pyry stomped on the icy ground twice, and said: "Show me Celestia!" She then got a living image of the pitch perfect princess. She was raising the sun right now, but almost wasn't able too because of the blizzard. She noticed that she was being helped by her sister. I didn't think the blizzard would handicap the princesses! Pyry realized. She tapped the floor twice again and said: "Show me Discord." This time. She took both the living images, and compared the two. She noted that DIscord had eternal life, and so did Celestia. They both were complete opposites, just like Fluttershy. They also both have powers. {Perfect match. Pyry thought. She just had to trap them both, and maybe control Celestia for the sun. Nah, Luna can do it. By the time Fluttershy woke up at the fire place, Discord had left her, without a fire. She was shivering, and she looked around desperately to find him. She got up and went upstairs, and she gasped as she saw Discord writing what appeared to be love letters! For a moment she was overjoyed, but was quickly saddened as she realized they were not directed to her. Heck, Discord didn't even acknowledge her presence. She watched, with tears in her eyes, as he sealed the letters with the all famous canterlot seal. Also known as the princesses' seal. When she saw the last love letter finished, she quickly flew up to the bed, and she cried. "Why?!" "Why, Fluttershy? I'll tell you why! Celestia here, is a much better pony than you! She is as old as me, she is practically as powerful as me, and she will live forever, like me." Discord swished his tail in pure pride, that he has won the heart of the princess. He could fulfill his dreams of pleasing his older sister. By acting, which was his specialty. He then thought of a brilliant idea, it made him cringe a little, but he did it in the name of the queen, Pyry! He then exaggerated, the act he was about to do. Fluttershy saw Discord kiss each love letter one, by, one. "Muah!" One. Fluttershy watched sickly as he did this. "Muah!" Two. She really hoped this was a nightmare. "Muah!" Three. Three times the charm? No? "Muah!" Four. Fluttershy's face started to break. "Muah!" Five. Why did he have to cheat on her?! "Muah!" Six. She couldn't believe that Discord would do this... "Muah!" Seven. How could he do this if he got her a ring and everything?! "Muah!" Eight. "What about all the things we did to-" "Muah!" Nine. "gether..." Fluttershy's voice broke as well. "Muah!" Ten. "I, I cant believe it..." "Muah!" Eleven. "You would cheat on me..." "Muah!" Twelve. "And I cant do anything about it..." "Muah!" Thirteen. Fluttershy sobs. "Muah!" Fourteen. She cried and cried. "Muah!" Fifteen. She cried her heart out. "Muah!" Sixteen. She sniffed, and whimpered. "Muah!" Seventeen. But that didn't make a difference. "Muah!" Eighteen. Because he was already done. "Eighteen.. December eighteenth.. Eighteen love letters..." Fluttershy sighed, closing her sticky eyes. "I guess you love her that much, that you rub it In my FACE!" Fluttershy turned her head to look at him as she opened her eyes, but was shocked to find him waving at her, and flying out the window, holding the cards. She couldn't help but stare. She was so exhausted... She lowered her head, and she didn't see the purple unicorn stare at her in the face... "Oh my Celestia..." On the 18th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, 18 cheatful love letters, 17 notepad pages, 16 winter snowflakes, 15 snowdigos, 14, sorrow, filled tears, 13 flutter dreams, 12 muffins a making, 11 mittens, 10 signs of symptoms, 9 hooves of snow, 8 lookout ponies, 7 snowmare figures, 6 games, ponies play, 5, carrot cake cookies, 4 heating blankets, 3 windigos, 2 Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet... On the 19th day of christmas,Amethyst went to check on Fluttershy again. She didn't see her at the fireplace, so she looked around. Amethyst turned her head and saw the tip of Fluttershy's tail up the stairs. She softly tip-hoofed up the stairs and saw Discord kissing love letters, with Fluttershy crying! My conclusions were correct! This must not be the real Discord! Amethyst thought. Oh no, is, is Fluttershy accepting this? "Muah!" What about all the things we did to-" "Muah!" "gether.." Amethyst bit her tongue to not gasp in shock. Discord interrupted her, was rude to her, and above all, he CHEATED ON HER! "Muah!" "I, I cant believe it," "Muah!" "You would cheat on me..." "Muah!" "And I cant do anything about it..." Amethyst almost teared up, because of Fluttershy's voice crack, and voice of reasoning, but also that she just, gave up. She didn't even confront him, she just, was a door mat. Amethyst continued to see that Fluttershy noticed that it was 18 love letters, on the 18th day, but then what she didn't expect, was that Discord flew away, and was waving at Fluttershy! As if to say: Good bye! I will not write! She saw Fluttershy slide down, and Amethyst quickly went to her side. She saw Fluttershy close her eyes. What the hay is wrong with this Discord? Amethyst thought. "Oh my celestia!" She said because of the princess, and because of the sudden change of temperature. She felt the room quickly change temperature, causing her to sneeze. She felt Fluttershy's body, and realized it had gone cold. She then saw Fluttershy get up, even though she was freezing cold, she looked nothing of the sort! In fact, her eyes went to slits as she said boldly: "Well I don't care about this engagement either!" Fluttershy in-did her necklace and threw it on the ground and stomped on it, and threw it out the window. All in the meantime of Amethyst standing there. She then saw Fluttershy's eyes go back to their original circle. "Fluttershy, are you okay?" Amethyst touched her friends shoulder, and was glad it was warm again. "*gasps!* Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't notice you were there, and you startled me." Fluttershy looked away, and she looked down. Amethyst thought of a perfect question to solve her mystery, or at least help, to see if the windigos were actually taking part in this. "Nice necklace Fluttershy." Amethyst calmly said. She watched Fluttershy self-consciously touch her neck, to feel the necklace, and gasped as she looked down and realized it wasn't there! "W-wait Fluttershy, I know where it went." Oh crap. I just got the cat out of the bag now. She watched Fluttershy's face go from the previous confusion and fear, to considerate, and kind. "Do you promise that you believe every word I say?" Amethyst hoped Fluttershy would understand. To her surprise, she said yes and nodded. "Okay, here it goes. So, Discord was on that bed," She pointed to the bed. "and he was writing love letters and was kissing all 18 of them." Fluttershy gasped in happiness. Amethyst wished it was like that. "But he appeared to be sending it to the princesses, well, more like, princess." She watched in pity as Fluttershy's face went from happiness, to sadness. "Anyway, he noticed you, and finally acknowledged it. He then waved and flew out the window." Amethyst hugged Fluttershy, and also said, "I'm sorry, but not sorry." When she said this, Fluttershy's face was full of tears, but also anger. Amethyst continued her sentence. "I think this is not the real Discord. Or, was just a minute ago, the real you. You threw your necklace with your ring and stomped it on the floor and threw it out the window. You would never do that, and Discord would never reject you. Understand?" She noticed Fluttershy went to her own throat and rubbed it, as if she was pretending to feel the necklace again. She nodded, and looked out the window. She finally uttered her few, but necessary words. "I believe you, but who caused it?" Amethyst smiled, since she knew the answer to that, almost perfectly. "I think they are changelings, or windigos, that went inside you. From my notes, I came up with changelingwindigos as the culprit, or, how I like to call them, changdigos." Amethyst stepped to where Fluttershy was standing, and looked out as well. She gasped as she realized that Fluttershy's ring was nowhere to be seen. Fluttershy glimpsed Amethyst's expression, and heard her gasp, and she couldn't hold it in anymore. She cried. She will never find the ring again... She didn't care it was 0.19 carats, all she cared about, was the memory that came with it. She apparently made a whole new set of tears, and she cried out that set too. Amethyst could only comfort her through this tough time for her. She would be that closest pony that is nearby, and cry into their shoulder. She didn't really mind, that she wasn't her best friend, or of all the tears that were trailing down her fur. Amethyst soon realized that Fluttershy had cried herself to sleep, and Amethyst got under the spell of sleep, the natural spell, at least. On the 19th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, .19 carat ring, 18 cheatful love letters, 17 notepad pages, 16 winter snowflakes, 15 snowdigos, 14, sorrow filled tears, 13 flutter dreams, 12 muffins a making, 11 mittens, 10 signs of symptoms, 9 hooves of snow, 8 lookout ponies, 7 snowmare figures, 6 games, ponies play, 5 carrot cake cookies, 4 heating blankets, 3 windigos, 2 Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet. On the 20th day of christmas,Amethyst was practically watching a live action movie. She remembered this one, she watched it recently. It looked like the movie, called Scrooged. She remembered it from last year or so. Anyway, she was in an office space, and she saw Discord. He looked very angry, and wanted this chaos show to air on Hearth's Warming's eve! How ridiculous is that?! Amethyst took a quick break, by looking out the window. She appeared to be floating, but she was probably on the highest floor, in Manehattan. She looked back, and saw Discord shout at Silver Shill. Don't question how she knows this, because she saw (and heard,) Discord shout his name, more than likely a million times. "You want me to make it orderly?! Well, how about this?!" Amethyst heard the lines as if she heard it from behind, forward, and practically all around. She saw Discord snap his fingers and made a piece of paper appear, with the lines for the up coming Hearth's Warming special, which is a play. She continued to watch it, and she was once again reminded of the memories of watching this movie. She saw the office ponies leave, after Discord dismissed them, and she saw him walk up to Twilight, who was at the front desk. He ordered her to fire Silver Shill, which of course made Twilight say: Well it's Hearth's Warming's eve! Give him a break!" She saw Discord snap back, which he said: "Who in the name of Celestia should care about Hearth's Warming? It's a bribery holiday, they make you help the sick, meanwhile you could be making movie shows for ponies to watch!" Discord also ordered her to make sure she gives his sister, (Ilovekimpossiblealot) a towel. Amethyst smirked at this little scene. Twilight tried to object, but knew she wouldn't get anywhere. She knew she would secretly give KP a good gift, besides a towel. Amethyst saw Discord stomp away back into his office, because of him wanting to work late. He ordered Twilight to do so also. She quickly disagreed to that, since she had her family, and she was having a Hearth's Warming dinner with her husband, Mother, Father, and some orphaned foals. Discord just rolled his eyes in disgust, and also made it audible. Twilight just stormed out of the room, but still in an orderly manner. Discord just rolled his eyes once again at her actions. Amethyst could not wait for the next part. Sure, it was a little creepy, but it sure was funny! It has been a good hour of work time and he was just about to get some cider. He then heard knocking. He heard it again. He groaned as he said: "Who is it?!" There was no reply. Instead, there was another knock. Discord was really curious to who would be knocking at this hour, but he felt like it was not worth opening. Instead, he got the door to warp and molt with hooves, as if someone was trying to work clay. He was truly terrified, but what really scared him the most, was the dead mare that came with it. "It's Granny Smith, your old mentor." Discord was shocked that this thing, could still walk on four legs! "What are you doing here?!" Discord shouted. "Just getting a mug of cider!" Granny Smith took a mug and drank it, but most of it came out of her body. "No, I mean business, and when I mean business, I mean holidays." Oh boy, this conversation again?! He thought. "Oh I have passed away seven years ago! Well, maybe it was five years ago." Granny said in her raspy voice. "But that's not the issue at hoof here! You are going to do hearth's Warming, instead of this office junk!" Granny slammed her hoof onto the nearby counter, causing it to break. "Hey hey hey! That is fine oak apple wood!" Granny got hold of his long snake-like neck and she held him, with Discord taking quick breaths of air. "You are going to meet three ghosts, tonight!" She let go of Discord and he looked to see the nearby quill and parchment move on it's own. The old mare was nowhere in sight. It was writing to his true love, that he left years ago. He couldn't stop the purple feather, or the paper, as it was sent to her mailbox. He pleaded that it got lost on the way, but the magic now was too great. Sooner or later, his true love came to his door, but this time at the very bottom of the building. His jaw dropped as he saw the yellow pegasus mare walking down the hallway, who had those beautiful teal eyes, and the pink hair. "Uhh... Fluttershy?" Discord could not believe his eyes, he was seeing her, but it wasn't really him who sent her the letter. She didn't really mind, but she talked with him a little bit, and gave him the address to the homeless shelter, who he was not fond of. She then left him hanging, his brain spinning because of what he experienced again. Amethyst felt the image grow weaker and warped, and she all of a sudden woke up, with Fluttershy next to her. She looked over at the clock and it read 20:16, but it changed to 20:17, which is also known as 8:16 and 8:17. "It was all a dream..." Amethyst realized. "It was a sign..." She looked at Fluttershy who was still asleep. "That the two were getting back together!" Amethyst had to chew the side of her cheek from not squealing out loud. She was still tired, so she fell back down onto the floor, and let her mind wander and think about what she had just concluded. On the 20th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, 20:17, .19 carat ring, 18 cheatful love letters, 17 notepad pages, 16 winter snowflakes, 15 snowdigos, 14, sorrow, filled tears, 13 flutter dreams, 12 muffins a making, 11 mittens, 10 signs of symptoms, 9 hooves of snow, 8 lookout ponies, 7 snowmare figures, 6 games, ponies play, 5 carrot cake cookies, 4 heating blankets, 3 windigos, 2 Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet! Author's Note Go check out ilovekimpossiblealot! She's cool! She's not me, I'm not a popular youtuber at all, but just check her out, I included her in this story, so... just do it. I know you want too. on the 21st day of christmas,When Fluttershy woke up, she woke with such a jolt that she smacked the pony next to her, who was Amethyst. She immediately put her hooves to her lips, since she did it accidentally. She saw Amethyst wake up as soon as she put her hooves to her lips, then Amethyst put her hoof to her face, which got smacked. "Ohh... What was that for?" She said groggily. Fluttershy's face grew a tad hot, since it was a funny reason to why she did do this action. Fluttershy replied to the sleepy Amethyst, and as soon as she said his name, Amethyst sat up and paid attention. "I had a dream about Discord." Amethyst was wide awake, at least, she was trying too at this point. She smiled for a bit, but then frowned as she thought of the down side. "What was the dream about?" She said as she rubbed her eyes. "Well, as I said earlier, it was about Discord, and I imagined I was dancing with him, again." Fluttershy looked somber, as though she was wishing she could see him again. "Wait.. Again?" Amethyst was a bit confused about what she said. "Oh, never mind that. What we were doing, was as I said, dancing. Like last time, we were in a blizzard, but this particular blizzard, I could feel the snow on my fur. Last time, it felt like air. It was very similar to last time, when all I saw was darkness, but with the occasional flake in my eye. I was also not in the center of this blizzard. I could see the center, oddly enough, but I wasn't in the middle. I saw Discord, huddled up in a little ball, rocking back and forth, saying: 'i'll be good! I'LL BE GOOD!' Which really confuses me." Amethyst took this all in, by showing an array of emotions following it. "He also mumbled Celestia, which is also a bit odd. Maybe this is another one of those connected dreams..." Fluttershy wondered out loud. "Wait. You had a connected dream with Discord?! Oh wait. That's right. I did know about that. S-sorry about that." Amethyst just closed her mouth as she closed her eyes for a bit. "What do you think it means?" Fluttershy wanted to hear another pony's thoughts about this mystery. "Well, I think it means that Discord was maybe trying to impress Celestia, but failed miserably because he is, well you know, used to be evil." Amethyst theorized. Fluttershy just stared at her. "O-kay. Maybe I am completely wro-" "Wrong?!" Fluttershy practically jumped on Amethyst at her lack of confidence. "You're right! It makes a lot of sense! The fake Discord would go, but then leave the real Discord hanging, so he just has to go to Celestia. His mind would still be on, 'I need to impress her!' So he would be scolded for not being 'good.' What, am I going to far?" Fluttershy put her hooves up and gave a questioning look. "Umm.. No you're not. But, maybe we should get back, because I bet our friends would be worrying about us." Fluttershy got up from her comfortable spot and stretched like a cat. She then quickly looked around the room, to make sure all the windows were closed, or locked. She saw a particularly big mound of candycanes on the windowsill. She went over to it, and grabbed one. She licked it, and gasped. "What's wrong Fluttershy?" Amethyst said, a bit confused to why there was probably 21 candy canes in total on a windowsill. "This tastes like coffee and lemon!" Fluttershy jumped giddily. "Eww, that combination sounds a bit gross." Amethyst made a face. "Oh. I know that, but this is a humongous sign!" She said as she licked the candy cane once again. "A humongous sign for what?" Amethyst hesitantly grabbed one of the candy canes that had pink and blue on it. "The real Discord is back!!! He made weird candy cane combinations back at home!" Fluttershy was practically bouncing, like she was on an invisible trampoline. "Oh!" Amethyst said in realization. She licked hers, but hers tasted like ocean water and dead flowers. Yuck. Fluttershy was a good ways down, before she bumped into the creature she meant to search for. Without him even looking at her, she leaped up and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Discord then hugged Fluttershy back. She also gasped at what Discord held out. He was holding a little bracelet with her ring on it, and he was tearing up with joy. Fluttershy started crying, because she never saw him cry. She then hugged him once more, and put the necklace on herself. On the 21st day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, 21 candy canes, 20:17, .19 carat ring, 18 cheatful love letters, 17 notepad pages, 16 winter snowflakes, 15 snowdigos, 14 sorrow, filled tears, 13 Flutter dreams, 12 muffins a making, 11 mittens, 10 signs of symptoms, 9 hooves of snow, 8 lookout ponies, 7 snowmare figures, 6 games, ponies play, 5 carrot cake, cookies, 4 heating blankets, 3 windigos, 2 Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet! Author's Note Screw it... I'm tired, I'm lazy. This chapter was for Goldenchaos (sorta) and I also watched a movie yesterday and today, so that's why I'm late. Well, enjoy!!!
PrologueThe day before December. Today was a lovely day. The leaves on the trees were warm colors, with splotches of brown, and the wind was a factor of the up-coming snow. Except, that today was the day before December! 21 days before winter starts, and 25 days before hearth's warming comes and goes. Well, this is a picture perfect scene, with a great oak tree, and with a lying pegasus on the ground. This year, the butter-colored pegasus promised herself that she would get the hearths warming decorations out early, so she could be the first to get the hearths warming spirit. "*sigh* What a lovely day. Autumn is beautiful, isn't it, Angel?" The pegasus asked her little bunny. Yep. It would be even better if I got carrots. Angel the rabbit told his owner, Fluttershy. "Well, I could make you something, as long as you dig the carrots up yourself. Wouldn't that be great?" She turned her head to look at her pet's face. Ugh. fine. Angel rolled his eyes as he was told to actually work. "No Angel, don't you roll your eyes at me! With that kind of attitude, you will not be getting any extra carrots tonight, in fact, I won't give you any tonight. Come on, we should be getting back home. We wouldn't want to get too cold." Fluttershy said as she got up from her spot and started walking towards her house, with Angel hopping next to her. This day was perfect for a picnic. Maybe she could invite her friends to join her. Of course, she would organize a beautiful picnic underneath that great oak tree. Grr... I can't believe Fluttershy banned me from carrots... Hmph! Angel mumbled. "Angel, if you keep up with that attitude of yours,-" Fluttershy started. You'll do what, Fluttershy? Ban me for a month without carrots?! Angel lashed out. "No, mister, I'll give you the stare!" Fluttershy turned around and stared so intensely that if looks could kill, Angel would be dead by now. Of course, as any animal would do, they would shrink at her sight, and obey Fluttershy. So, he did. "Yes, you are grounded! You stay in your bed, until I tell you too!" Angel's eyes almost watered by how much assertiveness was in Fluttershy's gaze. So he quickly ran towards the door, but with Fluttershy crying, "Angel no! The door is-" *Crash!* "Locked!" Fluttershy quickly glided towards Angel who was holding his head. "Oh poor poor Angel. I'll get you an icepack." Fluttershy flew inside, (after unlocking it,) and set Angel down on the couch and she quickly filled up a bag with cold water and ice, and gave it to Angel. She then decided what she should do for the rest of the day, since she had to stay with Angel. Hmm... how about putting up the decorations? Angel looked at his owner, who's eyes caught his, and who heard his voice. "Good idea Angel! Also, could you try not to talk? Please?" Fluttershy looked at her pet with worry. *groans* I'm not hurt at my jaw! It was my head! Also, you should really stop worrying about me so much. Angel rolled on his side. "Oh, but that's what mothers do! Wait. I'm not your mother, but I'm still your owner, so I have every right to care for you." Fluttershy decided to stop the conversation by going upstairs to the attic space with the hearth's warming decorations. Ehh... Whatever... Angel murmured as he drifted off to sleep. "It sure is musty in here... and dusty..." Fluttershy wrinkled up her muzzle as she stepped carefully to reach the box labeled, Hearth's Warming. She was almost close to reaching the box with her hoof, then all of a sudden a rustle went from behind her, and she jumped out of fright. She immediately grabbed the box she was aiming for, and she dove towards the attic door, closing it as she went down. Sighing with relief, she put the box on her back and she trotted down the stairs to start decorating. "Now, where to get the perfect tree..." She wondered out loud. Fluttershy got the perfect evergreen tree from a pony called Everbreeze, then put the little candle-light streamers around the tree. She got the ornaments out one by one, reciting a memory from each one. Picking a red one with white swirls around it. "Oh I remember this one when Pinkie almost mistook this ornament for a peppermint!" Fluttershy then giggled at the memory. Fluttershy got another ornament after putting the first one on the tree, and this ornament was fully blue. "The last ornament from the box that fell down the stairs. Silly me." This repeated as she put on the ornaments, one by one, as she does every year. She came across the six ornaments that represented her friends; apples, balloons, diamonds, sparkles, rainbow lightning bolt and of course butterflies. This reminded her of the picnic that she should plan. So she quickly placed the ornaments on the branches then grabbed a random scarf from her basket of scarves. This scarf just happened to be the scarf that Discord gave her, which was crocheted with purple dots, gray areas, swirls, and dice crocheted at the ends of it. Fluttershy smiled at the sight of it, Discord gave this to her for hearth's warming last year. She tied it around her neck and she opened the door to see heavy winds blowing across the field! She looked up at the sky to see big and heavy clouds, blanketing the sky. She quickly decided not to go out, for the fear of being left out there, in the howling winds. She sighed as she closed the door, not noticing the tiny flakes of snow swirling outside. Winter, was certainly coming.
On the 1st day of christmas,Fluttershy was in bed, rolling around. She flickered her heavy eyes as she woke up. A thought crossed her mind, well, more like a reminder, that today was the first day of December! Jolting herself awake out of excitement for the new day and the advent calendar, she trotted down the stairs.... After putting on her green and red striped socks of course. She had put the advent calendar in the right corner when you walk in. She then gently opened up one of the little doors on the advent calendar that had the number 1 on it, and what was inside was a little candy. After all, advent calendars have little goodies inside the doors of when you buy them, and since Fluttershy loved Hearth's Warming, she has decided to make a tradition of always doing the advent calendar. Fluttershy gently grabbed the candy with a snow-patterned wrapper and smiled as she realized it was peppermint! She then put the delicious candy in her mouth and sucked on it as she tidied up around the cottage. When she came across the closest window, she gasped (and nearly choked) at the weather outside! It was completely white. Fluttershy wiped the window and she was amazed at the sudden change of weather outside from yesterday to today! The winds were very fast and the flakes outside were being tossed and turned. She bet that if anypony were to stand out there, they wouldn't be able to see the ground underneath their hooves, much less before being blown to the ground. Fluttershy then saw that she had left open the window above the couch, allowing snow to fall in. She quickly shut it by standing on her hind legs. "Now no wonder it was so cold." Fluttershy spoke out loud. She wondered how she would ever clean up the snow off Discord's favorite couch. "Oh Discord! Where could he be? Is he lost?! I hope he is alright." Fluttershy hardly cared if anyone listened to her thoughts spoken aloud or the fact that anyone would care that she even cared about Discord. All she wanted right now, was for her to see Discord safe and sound. She was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she didn't even hear a poof sound that came from behind her. "Wow! This year's weather team really got it going early this year! Heh, they got me covered in snow from antler to hoof!" Said a male with a very optimistic voice. Fluttershy could not believe her ears. Was, was that... "Discord?" Fluttershy questioned as she turned around. What she saw was a very goofy looking snowmare, or rather, snow-draconequus. "Hey Fluttershy! Don't I look just like the Yetti? Or possibly, the abominable snowmare?! Ooh, nice socks." Discord exclaimed, but of course made Fluttershy blush at the end. "Maybe, maybe you look like it, for I have no idea what they both look like, but, um, thank you for the compliment." Fluttershy had to hide behind her mane for she started blushing like crazy again. Her face was as red as a ripe apple. "You're welcome my dear. Well, now that I think about it, you should wear those more often, they look good on you." Discord then looked over to what Fluttershy was staring at while he was talking, and it appeared she was staring at the couch that had snow. When Discord sighed, Fluttershy snapped out of her gaze and immediately told him of what happened to his "beloved" couch. Discord understood and said, "Oh, I see." Then he magically made a brush and tray appear and he started sweeping the snow off the couch and putting it though a portal that lead to the outside and then threw the tray and brush along with it. When he closed it, he heard Fluttershy's stomach growling so he made a breakfast buffet appear out of nowhere. "Discord! You don't ha-" Fluttershy was interrupted by Discord's sing-songy voice. "Oh, but I can!" Fluttershy knew that she couldn't reject already-made food, and with Discord himself! When the thought crossed her mind, she thought she couldn't get any redder, but she was wrong. Even though she was a Pegasus, she would have sworn that she had turned into a tomato or strawberry from all the sudden blushing. After Discord passed her by grabbing a plate and started piling up his plate, Fluttershy decided to grab some food like Discord was. "Lets see, French toast, pancakes, waffles, ooh! Discord there is just so many things to choose from!" Fluttershy exclaimed about all the food. "I know! It's going to be good, I can definitely promise you that." By the time Fluttershy finished decorating her plate, Discord was done with a plate stacked up with so many different foods that was as tall as Fluttershy herself! Her jaw dropped because of it. Discord was fully aware of Fluttershy's look on her face, so he gently took his eagle finger and closed her mouth, but let it linger underneath her chin. Fluttershy's face got hot again due to the amount of blood going to her face and tried to avoid eye contact with Discord for the fear of blushing like crazy again. Yet as odd it may sound, it was really hard for Fluttershy to look up at Discord's face once more, but was nearly impossible to look back down after she did. She just couldn't help but stare at Discord's golden and ruby colored eyes. She breathed in awe at how a creature that was thought to be so ugly, could be a creature, so handsome. "Fluttershy, do you brush your teeth before you eat breakfast? Beccause your breath smells minty!" Fluttershy just hid behind her mane because she was blushing again. She tried to reply but Discord beat her to it. "So you do brush your teeth before you eat breakfast?" Fluttershy had to giggle at the way Discord said that, for she also did the opposite of what he claimed that she did. "No I don't Discord, I just ate a mint!" Fluttershy's giggles slowly stopped and was replaced by a smile of genuine affection. "So you ate a mint, because you were sooooo hungry that you couldn't wait for breakfast?" Discord enquired. No silly, I had the advent calendar! You see?" Fluttershy pointed with her hoof to the wooden bird-themed calendar with little doors everywhere. "Oh! That makes much more sense! I knew though, that you were just so excited for my excellent cooking!" Discord said very proudly to Fluttershy. "You made this all by yourself without magic?" Fluttershy exclaimed. "Ehh... no. But I did make this!" Discord teleported their plates to the table then made a purple hat with green and yellow swirls and a fluff ball at the end, appear. Fluttershy was amazed by Discord's work and the fact that he did the whole thing without using magic. "Discord, I'm so proud of you." Fluttershy hugged Discord, who did not hesitate to wrap his mismatched arms around his true love. On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a great big breakfast buffet!!!
On the 2nd day of christmas,Well, Fluttershy just woke up and is in a very awkward spot. If she moved her head, she would raise Discord's head, if she moved her back hooves she would kick Discord, and for her front legs, Discord would feel the lack of warmth at his chest. Not to mention, Discord had his paw and claw wrapped around her, so she may as well try to go back to sleep. If anypony were around, they might have said that Discord was more part snake then they thought he was, or they might have said that they were soooo cute sleeping together! When did this happen? Fluttershy wondered. Fluttershy tried to think back to last night, the day when Discord arrived. First, she saw Discord arrive, and he made the breakfast buffet, then she hugged him, then... Fluttershy could not remember what happened later. She was still clueless when Discord woke up with a yawn. Stretching his arms wide, he let them fall again as he saw Fluttershy practically in his lap. "Wh-what happened?" Discord said in a very confused tone that made him sound like he was still half-asleep. "I-I don't know." Fluttershy blushed at their predicament, so she looked away. "Hey Fluttershy, wh*yawn*why do you keep looking away?" Discord said in his tone. "Umm... It's not important." Fluttershy quickly put off. "Yes it is, I have nothing to do, so you may as well." Discord said again with his half asleep mood, so to start his day, he summoned a cup of espresso with a festive candy cane. Fluttershy decided not to question the candy cane. "Well?" Discord sipped his coffee. "I, I k-keep on blushing...." Fluttershy avoided his gaze as she rubbed her hoof. "Bushing? Flushing? Fluttershy, whatever it is, you can say it now to get over with it, you know that." Discord looked at her very affectionately. "...Okay! I'm blushing!" Fluttershy covered her face with her hooves. "Blushing? What, did I say something embarrassing?" Discord took one of Fluttershy's hooves and put it down on his body. Fluttershy's gaze flickered towards Discord and finally said the words. "N-no." Surprised, Discord got more and more curious, so he turned his head toward his back where Fluttershy's head was. He asked her, "What is it?" Sighing with defeat, she looked at him and gave Discord a clue. "I, I could say it in clues, so, clue number one, this is very complicated." Fluttershy looked around and saw the advent calendar. "May I get up Discord? I'm a bit stuck." "O-oh right. Of course." Discord teleported both of them off the spot they were both sleeping, which was actually the couch. How they both fit, was a mystery. "I'm going to do the advent calendar now. Do you want this one?" Fluttershy turned her head as she was starting to walk to the corner. "No no, I can get one myself! Or better yet, I could duplicate it." Discord snapped his fingers and a white light lit up inside door number two. "I wonder what's inside." Fluttershy spoke aloud. She opened the tiny door and what was inside was two Hershey's kisses. One had a really dark gray and brown wrapper and the other was pink and yellow. Fluttershy realized the resemblance and asked Discord, "is this you and me?" Discord nodded and motioned her to taste it. Fluttershy understanding, she unwrapped the wrapper and ate half of it. Fluttershy made a sound to show Discord a sign of surprise. He smiled that the chocolates were a success so he grabbed his and unwrapped it and started to eat his. Discord spat the chocolate out for his did not turn out right. Fluttershy both heard and saw this, and asked Discord something. "Would you like half of mine?" Discord's eyebrows raised as she said this. After contemplating it, Discord decided that he should accept his roommate's kindness. So he said yes. Fluttershy gave the rest to Discord. He ate his and gave the same sign of surprise as Fluttershy did. He had intended to make it lemonade flavored, but he made this one strawberry and (no not banana) pineapple flavored. He shrugged as he took his candy cane from his coffee and pretended it was a pipe. He also summoned a monocle and top hat with a matching mustache. Fluttershy giggled at Discord's antics, she just couldn't imagine a better way to spend time with Discord. Which reminded her, to check out the window. She wiped the glass and saw again, only swirling white. She wondered why she didn't notice the winds before. Discord was just behind her, and commented on the outside while still in his "classy" accent. "Well I see that it has not changed since we have last looked Madam Fluttershy. Perhaps it is the weather ponies, though it is too strong for their tastes I assume." Discord smirked at Fluttershy when she looked at him. He also bounced his eyebrows and continued his accent. "It could possibly be the windigos. Those ghosty whispy horses that shall feed on hatred from others." Discord blew a bubble from his curved candy cane, which is physically impossible, but who cares, he's the being of chaos. "Discord, didn't you place your coffee on the couch?" Fluttershy looked over to the couch which had no coffee in sight. "Where did it go?" Discord teleported to the couch without the costume and looked at it until it was practically turned upside-down. He found it on the counter and the coffee apparently froze. He hoofed it to Fluttershy who opened her mouth in shock. She stuck her hoof inside the cup and it was, frozen solid. Discord came over and touched the cup, and it was freezing. Discord was wearing a confused expression on his face, so he spoke aloud. "How odd, everywhere else, it is perfectly fine, but this cup of coffee, is frozen cold. Literally!" Discord then was wide eyed. He had just thought of a possible reason why this cup was cold. "A windigo was here... Inside this house." Discord's face twisted with worry as he looked towards Fluttershy. "*gasp!* How is that possible?! I thought you would feel cold and you would be frozen solid now!?" Fluttershy's face was confused and shocked and scared at the same time. "I, I think what happened, was that our lo- I mean, our friendship kept us safe. If we hated each other, then we would have been frozen solid about now." Fluttershy concluded. "You're right. But only a friendship greater than friends can hold off these kind of windigos, from my memories, these horses are the strongest kind of spirit there is, and is a much more powerful kind of windigo." Discord said. "Wait. So does that mean," Fluttershy looked at Discord. "That..." Discord and Fluttershy started to harmonize. "We, are," Fluttershy and Discord raised their voices. "In love?" Fluttershy gasped as Discord said very brightly. "YES!" Discord cheered. "What!? Yay!.... Why are we cheering?" Fluttershy asked Discord. "You said that you are in love, and I am the only one around, so that claims that yooou..." Discord gestured for Fluttershy to finish his sentence. "Huh?" "Whatever. That yoooou love me!!!" Discord flew up to the ceiling for enthusiasm. "*Gasp!* OOH!" Fluttershy's brain just seemed to have clicked. "You love me!" Fluttershy flew up to Discord and kissed him on the lips. Full on the lips. Sure, Discord was surprised enough that she kissed him, but Fluttershy was even more surprised that he returned the kiss. Discord ended the kiss with a "Muah!" sound. Fluttershy hugged Discord with absolutely no care in the world, except for Discord of course. On the 2nd day of Christmas my true love gave to me, two Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet.
On the 3rd day of christmas,The snow outside was still as crazy as ever. Which made it especially cold. Good thing Angel bunny was indoors. He woke up from his nap and realized he had crashed yesterday and had probably got a bump on his head. He hopped on Fluttershy's bed to see if she was still asleep, and she seemed to have not used this bed in a while. Which was weird, since his master always sleeps on the bed and everyday wakes up at the same time. He heard a deep chuckle, following with his master's voice. Oh, he knew that voice anywhere. That was the voice of the creature that tries his best to swoon Fluttershy and is kissing up to her, and writing her love letters. He is just not, worth it for Fluttershy. He used to be a mischievous villain. Not necessarily evil, but still a tad insane. Yet then again, he is parts of animals, and Fluttershy's special talent is taking care of animals. Then there is that saying, chaos and kindness. Sort of like ying and yang, he heard it in a book once, and also from that creature. Well enough of the philosophical thoughts. He is going to see what thing they are doing now. The door creaked as he opened it, and a smell of egg with butter on toast came to his nose. Who was cooking it was a surprise to him. Discord was making breakfast and Fluttershy was talking with him. Fluttershy had her half-eaten toast in front of her with her sunny-side up egg, and there was another plate with a toasted draconequus face and an egg on top of that. Judging from the food, Angel guessed he hadn't slept in at all, since they just started breakfast. He hopped to the seat next to Fluttershy and asked her for some carrots. She was about to say yes, but Discord interrupted her. That jerk. "Wait, shouldn't Angel not get the carrots? He did snap at you." Discord reminded Fluttershy of that day. Angel glared at Discord for bringing that up, just so that nut could watch him suffer without any car- "Discord, you shouldn't keep him off carrots for that long! That is his favorite food!" What? Fluttershy defended me! Oh just look at goatbutt's face! He has the face of pure jealous rage. Ooh, that rhymed. "Wha-, how... No fair!" Discord stuttered. I just smirked at him. I know he looks a bit like a goofball at times, but this look is definitely something to frame. "Oh whatever. What I would have said Angel, what is another clue to that, *ahem* blushing fit of yours? Hmm?" Discord leaned at Fluttershy by physically stretching his neck while turning the burner off. How dare he invade Fluttershy's personal space! He was just inches away from Fluttershy's lips! Wait. LIPS?! So Angel zoomed towards Fluttershy and Discord and blocked them from touching each other by pushing Discoface's nostrils away from Fluttershy's. "Hey!" "*giggles* Okay Discord. Clue number two. It is about the letter U, and also, L-wait, that should be for next time." Fluttershy giggled after that and decided to finish her toast. "Hmm... The letter U, and it is complicated. What does that mean?!" Discord was so confused about Fluttershy's clues, it made Angel smirk once again at Discord's stupidity. Even Angel knew the answer! Though, Discord could read thoughts if he wanted too, so Angel decided to keep it secretive. "Just eat your toast. I should probably give Angel a carrot since he was so patient!" Fluttershy glided to the fridge and grabbed a carrot to give to Angel. Angel quickly hopped towards the yummy and orange vegetable. He munched on the delicious meal as he eavesdropped on the two lovebirds. "Let's do the advent calendar Discord. Also to check if the snowstorm is still going on." Fluttershy brought her plate towards the sink and went to the wooden calendar. Discord did the same, but first shoved everything into his mouth. Angel brought his carrot to the couch and sat there, watching them open the little door. Fluttershy gasped as she pulled out mini hot cocoa mugs. "I don't think this really came in the calendar." Fluttershy suspected. "Of course it didn't! This one had hot cocoa packets, so I just thought, 'Hey why don't I actually make it hot chocolate milk?'" Discord then grabbed his little handle and pulled on it. The handle appeared to be attached to a piece of string, so when he pulled it, it went back into place and the cup grew larger and larger. It grew until it was a normal sized cup of hot cocoa. Fluttershy did the same, first by pulling the handle and watched it grow. She gasped in awe at the little creation. She sipped the warm liquid and enjoyed the feeling of it running down her throat. Discord did the same and also added marshmallows to his cup. From where Angel was sitting, it looked like the two were statues since they held their poses for a long time. Angel looked out the window above him and saw the same endless white. Plopping back down on the cushion of the couch, he gnawed on the carrot as his owner and the snake-boy finished their cups with a loud sip. Snapping his fingers, Discord teleported the cups to somewhere and looked at the tree. He noticed the six ornaments that resembled Fluttershy and her 5 friends. "Hey Fluttershy, where did you get these ornaments?" Discord asked Fluttershy as he pointed towards Twilight's. "Oh! We made these before you got reformed." Fluttershy said. "Well why isn't there one for me?!" Discord acted like a little child as he said this. "I never got around to making it." Fluttershy looked at her hooves. "Then why don't we get started? We could do a blow-glass ornament." Discord looked at Fluttershy as he said this. "Blow-glass?" "Oh yes! Lets get to it then!" Discord disappeared, leaving angel bunny on the couch all alone. I may as well go to sleep. Angel thought. As he bounced towards Fluttershy's room, he got a whiff of cold air, and felt freezing. He decided to grab some extra blankets and huddle up in his basket, but what everypony didn't know, was that three windigos touched Angel, and if anypony or anyrabbit gets touched by windigos, they will more than likely freeze to death. The only cure is for the creature to have a warm enough heart to fend the coldness. On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me, three windigos, two Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet. Author's Note Better late than never!
On the 4th day of christmas,It was lunchtime in Fluttershy's cottage, and Discord and Fluttershy were looking for Angel bunny. He was nowhere to be found! Fluttershy finally looked in his bed, and she gasped in terror at the sight before her. Angel was shivering ridiculously! He had also turned a bit blue, and had a bit of frost bite on his tail and feet. With just one look at Discord made him snap his fingers and cover Angel bunny in four blankets and have a heating bottle. Angel was still shivering violently and Discord sighed. "Fluttershy, I think you may have to accept the fact that-" "NO!" Fluttershy shouted at Discord. Discord gave a pitiful glance at Fluttershy and decided to think of a solution. He made a lightbulb appear and told Fluttershy of his idea. "I think this still has to do with the Windigos. Maybe one of them touched Angel since he, he, hates me." "Oh how are we going to fix that?!" Fluttershy's gaze at Discord made him want to hug her even more than he usually wants to. "I, I think I have to soften up to him. So, *ahem* Angel, I think you are a wonderful bunny. You seem to treat Fluttershy well, and I couldn't ask anymore from you. So, Friends?" Discord touched Angel's fur and he started to change back to his normal and usual color. He was still shivering, but definitely not as worse as it used to be, thank Celestia. Taking Angel by the scruff of his neck, Discord moved him over to his bed and provided, yet again, four heating blankets and a cup of hot cocoa. "Well what should we do now? We already got the candy canes from the advent calendar. We also already checked outside, which is the same as usual." Discord asked Fluttershy. In response, Fluttershy slumped to the floor, wondering what she should do to cure boredom. Discord was also wondering too. Being bored with the lord of chaos is ironic, a tad too ironic for Discord. "How about you brush my hair?" Yeah, that's a great idea Discord... He thought to himself, mistaking Fluttershy's voice for his own conscience. "Um, Discord?" "Huh? Oh sorry, I was thinking..." Discord mentally face-pawed himself. "An idea is, that, well you could brush my hair. I haven't done it in a while with anypony." Fluttershy blushed so she hid behind her mane, giving Discord the perfect reason to touch Fluttershy's hair. "Oh yes! We could totally do that, so you my dear, wont hide behind your mane." Discord knew Fluttershy wouldn't back down so he summoned Fluttershy's hairbrush along with bows, clips and hair-ties. Fluttershy got up from her spot and moved over towards the couch and sat herself down. Discord flew over to Fluttershy and summoned a stool for himself to sit on. He grabbed the brush and brushed Fluttershy's mane. He held her mane with his talon claw, and held the brush with his paw. Fluttershy shivered slightly and closed her eyes as Discord brushed her hair and touched her ever so slightly on her neck. When Fluttershy sighed, Discord would have turned into pudding yet took all his will power to not do so. Then something surprised Discord, enough to make him breathe deeply, which is the closest you can get from him that meant a gasp or a sigh. What was surprising was that Fluttershy started singing! "I have met an odd creature, who's unlike any other." Discord's eyes grew big as he heard her perfect and angelic voice. "He's just so chaotic, and that's why I admire him!" Discord realized she was singing about him. HIM! "Oh what's this beating, the beating in my chest," Ooh! his is going to be good! I should sing with her. "Oh what's this feeling, the feeling, in my, heart!" Time for me to sing with her! "I have met a beautiful pony, who's incomparable," Woops, too many syllables. "She's just so sweet, and that's why I adore her," I don't care that it is not the same, it's the lord of chaos after all, it's just bound to be different! "Oh what's this beating, the beating in my chest," It's the heart, oh whatever! It's a sweet love song! I don't care if it's cheesy! "Oh what's this feeling, the feeling, in my, heart!" Time for the duet!! "Oh woah oh! Why do I feel this way! Maybe it is because of his craziness!" Gosh, she sounds so beautiful! "Or maybe it is because of her calmness! Oh woah oh! Why do I feel this way!" Time for her part! "Maybe it is because of the way he talks," "Or maybe it is because of the way she walks," "Oh woah oh! Why do I feel this way! Maybe it is because of the way he makes stuff out of thin air!" "Or maybe it is because of the way she hides behind her pretty hair." Then I think we harmonize. "Oh woah oh! Why do I feel this way! Oh woah oh! Why do I feel this way! Oh woah oh! Why, do, I, feel, this, way!" "Where did you learn that song? I haven't heard of that before!" Discord asks Fluttershy after their song. "Oh I don't know. I just thought up the lyrics, and sang it. I guess I could say the same thing about you." Fluttershy turns around, motioning for Discord to keep on brushing her hair. "Well I just figured out the rhythm and started singing as well." Discord self-consciously pulled her hair back so he could tie it with a hair-bow. "Oh that makes sense." Fluttershy shifted so she stood up taller. Discord just finished tying the bow, so he spun her around so he could see her. "Wow." "What is it Discord?" Fluttershy asked. "You look like a totally different pony." Fluttershy grabbed the mirror that was close by and gasped at herself. "I, I look exactly like my grandmother! Posey!" Fluttershy exclaimed as she went upstairs, but nearly tripped on a stream of candlelights that fell down. In about no time, Fluttershy came back with a picture of an old looking fluttershy but with the same hair-bow. "Woah! Just look at the similarities!" Discord exclaimed. "So that's where you get the colorings!" "Yep. I guess so." On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, four heating blankets, three windigos, two Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet! Author's Note Woo hoo! I got it done early! Also, if anyone asks, Posey is a G3 pony that was originaly going to be Fluttershy.
On the 5th day of Christmas,Today was the fifth day staying inside because of the snowstorm and guess what? Fluttershy and Discord were eating a maple-flavored snow cone! In a snowstorm! Well, Discord's powers made it always toasty warm inside the cottage. Right now, they were just adding the flavoring and Discord put some in his mouth. "Discord." "Oh relax! There is plenty extra!" Discord said as he ate it. "Well, what if there isn't anymore?" Fluttershy looked at the side of the bottle as she saw the sticky substance went down. "If I run out, you can take a bite of mine!" Discord lowered the bottle, leaving it empty. "*sigh* I guess I should go get the chocolate syrup out." Fluttershy gave her snow cone to Discord and got out the chocolate syrup from in the fridge. "Hey no fair! You never told me there was chocolate syrup!" Discord tried to glare at Fluttershy but failed. "You did eat all of the maple syrup, so what could I do?" Discord gave his best kitty eyes, (since Fluttershy didn't accept puppy eyes) then Fluttershy finally gave in. "*sigh*Fine." Fluttershy squirted some of the syrup onto hers first, then made a chocolate smiley face on Discord's snow cone. "Hey! You made a face on mine! Now, I'm going to call you George." Discord then licked his with his snake-like tongue all in one bite. "Uh, why did you eat George?" Fluttershy slowly licked her snow cone. "Well, George's destiny was to be gobbled up by moi." Discord put his talon on his chest as he said this. "*hehe* Well okay. This snow cone's name is, um, Snow White." Fluttershy then licked some more off of hers. "Well, sudden twist! The prince dies and Snow White has to kiss Prince Charming called George! Well, accompanied by the 7 dust bunnies." Discord laughed. "Okay then. 'Lalalalaaala! Oh my! My true love! Muah!'" Fluttershy acted her snow cone to be like Snow White. "'Huh? Oh my true love! Muah!'" Discord laughed with Fluttershy as they made their snow cone dolls kiss. "Well, my snow cone is melting, I may have to eat her." Fluttershy nibbled on her cone. "Okay, but I should just get started on the coooookies!!" Discord exaggerated. "But Discord! The chimney must be full of snow, so it may make the snow melt, and-" Fluttershy was cut off as Discord leaned in and kissed her on the cheek. "You know, I can always use my magic. Also, when we get done, we can sit on the couch and see a movie or something." Discord resumed to his normal tone of voice after his romantic one. "Oh, I may as well try to finish this snow cone, wouldn't want you waiting!" Fluttershy then took about 3 minutes as she finished her snow cone. "Done!" Fluttershy declared. "*huff* Took you long enough." Discord said sarcastically. "So lets get the ingredients out for chocolate chip cookies." Fluttershy turned to open the fridge but was stopped by Discord's voice. "Who said we had to make typical and boring cookies?" Discord teleported to Fluttershy's side and looked at the ingredients in the fridge. "Hmm... Lettuce, no. Celery, no. Cabbage, no. Carrots, maybe. Cream cheese? Yes!" Discord magically took the ingredients from the fridge and the pantry and set it on the kitchen counter. "So flour, carrots, sugar, cream cheese, salt, butter, some cinnamon, an egg, baking powder, and milk. Hey! These are the ingredients for carrot cakes!" Fluttershy exclaimed. "Why of course! Except we would change it into cookies." Discord also got the mixing bowl out, along with a wooden spoon, a pastry bag and cookie cutters. "Then we add flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar. Yes, mix it all up!" Discord clawed Fluttershy the wooden spoon and she and Discord worked the dry mixture. "Next, we add butter, the egg, and milk." Fluttershy said as she dumped it in carefully. mix mix mix mix. "Now let's grate the carrots." Discord got out the grater with his magic and grated it as the finished carrots went inside the mixing bowl. mix mix mix mix. "Now we take the cookie cutters, and let it bake!" Fluttershy said as she grabbed the oven guards while Discord punched out the shapes. Fluttershy, still with the oven guards in her mouth, put the tray into the oven rack and let Discord turn on the oven. "Well Fluttershy, what should we do in the meantime?" Discord said after he was done, but before Fluttershy could respond, he made a lightbulb that looked like his face appear over his horns. "Aha!" Discord then teleported to somewhere, then came back with an album. Oh Fluttershy knew that album very well. That album was her baby pictures. "Discord! Please let's not read that. Or, look at that." Fluttershy pleaded while blushing. "Oh really? You much rather let us both look in your personal diary?" Discord made that appear hovering above his shoulder. "N-no let's not read that." Fluttershy blushed furiously. "Hmm... Well this one makes you very embarrassed and this one is all your personal secrets! I think we should go with both of them!" Discord exclaimed. "NO!" Fluttershy shrieked. "Come on! We shouldn't have any secrets between us!" Discord started with the first page in Fluttershy's diary. "Dear diary numb-" Discord was cut off by Fluttershy's hoof on his muzzle. "S-sorry. I,I guess I should endure the embarrassment just to get it over with." Fluttershy looked away, who was still blushing like crazy. "But you have to promise me this; I have to hold it." "Weeelll, how about we hold it together?!" Discord's face looked like a filly's face at the first time in sugar cube corner. "Okay, I guess that will work." Fluttershy got enough courage and started looking up at the book instead of the couch cushion. Discord started reading the first page again. "So, 'dear diary number one. Today I just got this brand new book from Twilight! She said that I should use this for my diary, so I guess that is what I am doing now. Nothing really exciting happening today. Angel just got grounded, not sure if that is a good thing about today, but that is something. So, let me think... Oh! Pinkie Pie gave me some cupcakes that were made from Applejack's zap apples! I'm sure they will taste delicious. Well, that's all for today, so until next time!' See? That wasn't so bad!" "Oh, okay, I guess we could keep on going." Fluttershy said tentatively. "Onward to chapter two! *ahem* Dear diary number two.-" Discord and Fluttershy continued on until the cookies were done and Discord got up and let the cookies cool. He teleported Fluttershy to him and asked her, "How about one more chapter, before we decorate these cookies?" "Sure, I guess that's fine." Fluttershy flew over and grabbed the diary from the little coffee table that was set there. "Dear diary number 34. Discord just came over today! He is a real nice guy, even if he was the master of chaos. I don't think every villain is bad. I just think he was a bit childish, but only a bit out of control. I write letters to him, every day I can. We are on good terms now, except, for my friends. You see, they don't know of my letters to Discord, or of my tea times with him. They just need to show kindness to him, and maybe he will stop his antics with them. I think I am finally starting to really change him, and I mean, really change him. So until next time!" Discord looked at Fluttershy with love, and compassion for that little chapter. "Time to make the glaze!" Fluttershy said as she prepared the pastry bag. Discord then mixed the extra sugar, cream cheese, extra milk, and cinnamon. It made it turn into a soupy and sticky texture. "Scoop it in the bag!" Fluttershy said when Discord put the mixture into the papery bag. Fluttershy closed the end and squirted the glaze onto the cookies, making it a drizzle. "Mmmm! It smells divine!" Discord said as she stuck his snout as close as he could to the cookie. "I think it is done!" Fluttershy grabbed a cookie and bit into it, and Discord did as well. "Mmm!" The two synchronized. Discord brought a plate full of cookies onto the couch and teleported Fluttershy along with him. "Chapter number 35. Rarity thought I would be a good match for Big Macintosh...' WHAT?!" Discord looked at Fluttershy with anger. "Discord just read on!" Fluttershy pointed towards the diary, ignoring Discord's wrath. "Fine fine! Ugh. *ahem* Rarity thought I would be a good match for Big Macintosh, and I strongly disagree with her suggestion! Sure, we are both quiet, but I thought he was going out with Miss Cheerilee! I would just ruin their plans when I come in with a heart and ask for his heart. No, I think my companion, should be.... Oh I don't know! What if he says no? What if he turns on me? What if he rejects my heart? Oh, maybe I shouldn't ask him. Yes, screw that idea... I have no pony. Just, no pony..' Fluttershy, is that a tear stain?" Discord pointed to a dried up piece of paper that is slightly darker than the rest. "Yes. I think so." Fluttershy looked down. "Umm, may I ask, who was this pony?" "Umm, it wasn't. anypony..." "Then who were you talking about?" "I was talking about a certain, draconequus..." Fluttershy met eye contact with Discord. "Me?! Back then?! Fluttershy, I will never, reject your heart. Never, ever." "You promise?" "I promise." "Cross my heart, I hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." Fluttershy and Discord said in harmony. "So you wouldn't reject... This?" Fluttershy pulled out a paper heart from inside the pages of the book. What read on the paper, was: Will you be my special somepony? It also showed Discord and Fluttershy looking at each other, Discord walking on all fours, and Fluttershy looking over her shoulder. "Oh Fluttershy! YES!" Discord hugged Fluttershy and she squealed in impact. "Yay!" Fluttershy said before she was released. She then immediately ate a cookie, since she was a bit peckish. She and Discord ended up eating five cookies each, while they watched a movie for the rest of the night. On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, five, carrot cake cookies! Four heating blankets, three windigos, two Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet!
On the 6th day of christmas,Just like old times, Discord and Fluttershy were having tea and cucumber sandwiches. Through the whole time they were having the tea party, they were having trouble thinking about what they should talk about. Fluttershy finally thought of something to begin a conservation, and that was talking about Discord's past. "Discord? Do you remember who your parents were?" Fluttershy bit into a sandwich. "M-my parents? Oh, I don't think you would like the story of my parents. How about yours?" Discord asked her, though already knew the answer. "I've already told you of my parents! Please, Discord, if this relationship is going to go anywhere, I should know of my in-laws." Discord's mind whirled. Fluttershy, knowing of his parents?! No no no... "I don't think that is a good idea..." Discord twiddled his thumbs. "You think that me, knowing of your parents, is a bad idea?" Fluttershy looked at him with concern. "*sigh* Fine. But I warn you! This is not a happy, sappy tale...*ahem* So, once upon a time, or, when I was born, I remember my parents looking down at me. They were fuzzy shapes, I knew, but then all of a sudden I got taken, and all I saw, was green vines. Why green vines? Well, I think I lived in a jungle or somewhere. My parents came to me more clearly now, and they looked exactly like I did, well, more like parent, looked exactly like I did. My dad had a round face that was slim, and had he had bushy eyebrows. He also had the deer horn that I have, and also a ram horn. So through simple genetics, I was able to tell that my mother had the blue horn, and possibly a unicorn horn as well. Now, as I grew, I got used to the ways and the culture of the jungle. Yet one of the weirdest things that I deeply regretted doing, is the maturity games. The maturity games are named after yourself and you have to do a series of tests, to prove your maturity for the pony you get at the end. So first was the agility games. The one where you have to show your speed and efficiency and strength through courses. The second one is the food games. This one is very basic, but very deadly. You have to choose between different ingredients to make a cake. Oh, I have also heard a rumor that someone made a cake that was so good, it made him get extra powers in his already powerful chaos magic. The cake was a lie though. So the third one is the survival games. This one is where you get placed in the barren jungles, the place where you don't want to be. It is sort of like the everfree forest, except, multiply that by 100. Then there is the last one, which is the love games. This one is to choose the pony you get at the end. They have to go through a series of tests, similar to your own but easier, since they are ponies. The first seven who win, will get to be decided by the draconequus who has passed the games. Who ever was the unlucky mare who got chosen, would be the draconequus's mate. The End..." Discord whispered the last sentence as he buried his face into his talon and claw. He was expecting a response of his culture being messed up, or something along that route. Yet Fluttershy asked a question that really threw Discord off. "Do you remember your seven ponies?" Fluttershy looked at Discord with sadness but also curiosity. "Well, when I ran away, I was about to get the seventh pony, but I got a little cuckoo with the fury on this princess that I captured. She had to get back to her kingdom and I just about had enough with her, so I brought her to her kingdom and was shocked at how un-protected the place was! Using magic from inside of me, I blasted the place with chaos, and half of my mind said that this was probably from the chaos of his home, and the forest, or it is just a gene. Then the other half, my good half, said that I should rule over this place, and act a bit ridiculous. Which I did. Oh, to answer your question, the first pony was Firefly, then was a pony who looked a lot like applejack and I think was called applejack, then there was a pony who was turquoise and with purple hair. I think was called Sparkler or something, then there was Surprise, Twilight Twinkle, and Posey. Oh yeah, and Princess Celestia." Realizing he said a bit too much than he wanted too, he covered his mouth with his paw and talon. "Princess Celestia?" Fluttershy questioned. "Yeah... Wait... Posey?! Your grandmother?!" Discord was bewildered at how old Fluttershy's grandmother may have been. "Yes. She was abnormally old for her lifespan, but I think what happened, was that she went on a safari trip and she met you, and then she got smoked by a mysterious purple flower." Fluttershy explained. "Yeah, that happened to me too. Wait a second... That flower definitely did something, and I think I read it in a book somewhere that the flower is a permanent poison joke flower. Well, sort of, it boosts your weakest ability. For me, it was my, umm, insaneness. And for her, I guess it was her age." Discord concluded. "That actually makes a lot of sense now that I know the answer to a lifelong mystery." Fluttershy said. "Could we finish that movie that we watched last night? I think I fell asleep watching the phantom of the opera. How about we watch that tonight?" "Umm, Fluttershy, the time is," Discord checked the clock. "10:23 at night. Or I could be mistaken. Oh whatever, the next day is going to be at twelve." "Okay. Let's watch the Phantom of the Opera!" On the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, six games ponies play, five carrot cake cookies, four heating blankets, three windigos, two Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet!
On the 7th day of christmas.It is 3:00 now, at night or at day, we don't know. We should just go with night, so it is really 12:00 in the morning. Anyway, Fluttershy just finished watching the Phantom of the Opera with Discord, and could totally relate to themselves with the main characters. By the time they were finished watching, Fluttershy and Discord were really tired, and decided to go to sleep. yet before Discord could move Fluttershy to her room, he realized that Fluttershy was already asleep, so he may as well sleep with her. The howling of the winds went from calm and quiet to fierce and wild. This woke up Fluttershy. "*yawn* What time is it?" Fluttershy mumbled to herself. "I don't know dearie, and I really don't care..." Discord mumbled back. "Um, Discord?" Fluttershy finally realized where she was and went to wake up Discord. "*growls* What. Is. It?" Discord growled since he was still sleepy. "Umm, Discord, you should really wake up now. I think the storm is getting worse!" Fluttershy nudged him and shook him until he was awake. "Fluttershy is it really that important?" Discord said, nearly shouting. He sat up as he said this, and rubbed his eyes. "I honestly don't know. I was woken up by the wind, so it could be worse! Of course, if it was nothing, then I still had a good reason to wake you up." Fluttershy shifted herself so she could wiggle out. "Oh really? What is that good reason?" Discord summoned a cup of latte macchiato. "To do the advent calendar of course. Then we can make breakfast." Fluttershy glided over to the advent calendar and went to panel seven. Discord moaned as he stretched, bringing his arms up high. He then sighed as he put his arms back down. Discord walked over to where Fluttershy was standing, and snapped his fingers. Fluttershy opened panel seven and what was inside was seven little snowmare ornaments all in different poses. "Oh Discord! Look at these! Oh!" Fluttershy gasped as she saw the seven little figures come to life. They danced, skated, twirled, flew; pretty much all of these little figures did little poses they were supposed to do. "Discord! These are so adorable!" Fluttershy gently grabbed all of them onto her hoof and put them on the tree. "There you go little guys! Right where you belong!" Fluttershy smiled at the seven little figurines. One of them reminded her of Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy's smile melted. Then Fluttershy sighed, and Discord noticed that Fluttershy was down for a reason. She wasn't smiling anymore, not really paying attention to anything, just her mind. "My dear, what's wrong?" Discord saw her melancholy expression, and immediately guessed that she must be missing somepony. "N-nothing's wrong, I-I'm just..." He saw Fluttershy's emotions quickly pour out of her eyes, she was crying, and for what reason? That he didn't know. "Fluttershy, what's wrong?" Discord wrapped his body around Fluttershy and ran his claw through her hair. "*sniff* I, I just remembered my friends... I miss them... A lot.. Not that you are b-boring, I-I'm, I-" Discord cut her off. "Shhhh.... Just let it all out. You can tell me later after you're done crying." Discord whispered. "*sniff* *sniff sniff* O-okay. I think I'm good now..." Fluttershy looked at him for a moment, but then lowered her gaze. "But I miss my friends... I have no idea what they may be doing, if they are all together, or if they are separated because of the storm. Discord, you have to let me check on them!" "Absolutely not! I will not let you go out there alone! You could be swept off your fee- I mean, hooves! Yeah. Hooves. You know it is dangerous to go out there alone." Discord saw the disappointment and plead in Fluttershy's eyes. He mentally smirked, since she didn't know the last part of his sentence. "Which is why!.... I'm coming with you!" Discord then slithered like a snake and curled around her. She then saw her closet, which meant Discord used his magic again. "So which jacket do you want? This parka? This knitted one?" Discord held jackets in his tail while he rummaged through the closet. "I'll take the pink one. Thank you!" Fluttershy put on her jacket and waited for more. "Which pair of mittens?" Discord held the mittens by his magic and what were floating, was a pink pair, and a blue pair. "I'll take the pink set, just so it matches." Fluttershy slipped on the mittens and waited for the scarves and hats. "Hats?" Magically, three woolly hats floated out of the closet and Fluttershy choose the snowy one, which was blue. "Ooh! This one!" Discord pawed Fluttershy the gray, purple polka-dotted, and turquoise scarf that Discord gave Fluttershy last Hearth's Warming. "Okay! I think I'm set to go out. What about you?" Fluttershy just barely finished her sentence before Discord summoned a hat, parka, scarf, and boots. he also summoned Fluttershy warm and snug ugg boots. "I think I'm good. So, on to the adventure we go!" Discord grabbed the door handle, and looked at Fluttershy to show a sign that she had to be ready for the strong winds and snow. "On count three, we open the door and run out." Discord started to unlock the first lock. "One." The first lock is unlocked. "Two." The second one is unlocked. "Three!" Discord unlocked the third lock and the door swung open because of the fierce winds. Immediately, Fluttershy clung to Discord as an unconscious move. Discord then jumped and Fluttershy fluttered as well. Discord slammed the door behind them shut, and tried to look out into the white wasteland. Nothing. There was absolutely nothing that he could see. Well, you cant really go anywhere without moving, so, Discord took the first step off the path, which ended up being very fluffy, but very deep, so he fell through a hole. Fluttershy's reply was a scream as she slipped into a different hole, which was the first time in seven days that they have ever been separate. On the seventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me, seven snowmare figures, six games, ponies play, five carrot cake cookies, four heating blankets, three windigos, two Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet!...
On the 8th day of christmas,White. All he saw was endless white. Discord was sliding down a tunnel, made of ice, and Discord desperately tried to use his magic, but failed because of the powerful windigos and the storm. Then he started wondering. Where is Fluttershy? I heard her scream! Oh no. Please let her be safe. Discord was then thrown out of the slide and into the fluffy ground called snow. Discord, already freezing, looked around to see anything to stay at. He couldn't see much because of the winds blowing in his face, but luckily he saw a branch and lumbered to it. He then had an idea. He added snow to the perimeter of where he was going to shelter. It grew to a wall, and decided that it was enough, since it blocked the wind. Then it fell on his face. Great. He was useless without his powers, he couldn't see, and now what? He can't hear, because of the powerful winds?! "Hello?!" Discord heard a call from ahead. Discord knew how terrible these wind's are of transporting sound. So he was lucky to hear the call, not be the caller. Discord decided to jump each step, so he went against the wind to find this mystery caller. It took awhile before he saw a lump against the oddly smooth snow and jumped to that. He was really close when he heard the call again. "H-Hello?!" That call was coming from this lump. So, carefully stepping to the side, he walked around the mound and saw Derpy and Dinky, in a shivering mound. "Derpy?" Discord wondered why those two were out in the snow. "D-Discord? I-is F-Fluttershy with you?" Derpy asked Discord. Another wave of wind blew across Discord's face, so he huddled with them. "Why, what makes you say that?" Discord thought it wasn't obvious that he came from Fluttershy's cottage. "W-well, t-the closest h-house here is F-Fluttershy's house and I-I c-concluded that y-you were t-there. Y-you also have t-the s-similar c-clothing style a-as F-Fluttershy. *breathes through teeth*" Derpy chattered. "Y-you also d-don't chatter your t-teeth. So y-you m-must have come f-from a w-warm p-place." Discord was amazed by Derpy's observance. She may look dumb, but she is a smart cookie. "Weeeelll, you're correct. You see, Fluttershy asked to go check on her friends, and I couldn't leave her out here alone, so I should go with her in case there is danger. Then we got separated..." Discord would have twiddled his thumbs, but the blizzard kept him focused. "Okay... S-so could I a-ask you a question?" Derpy tried to make friction with her hooves as she said this. "Umm... Sure." Discord had no idea where this was going, but he still listened. "D-do you l-love her?" Derpy huddled around her daughter. "What?" Discord didn't know what she was going to say, but he didn't expect a question like that! "S-so, Do Y-you Love H-her?" Discord felt like Derpy was staring into his soul. He finally broke, and said: "Yes." Discord looked down. He couldn't stop the wave of emotions pouring out of his mouth, he felt a bit sorry for Dinky though. "I love her! I don't deserve her! But I cant stop this urge, to, to... to, hold her, and run my talons through her hair... I just cant live without her. It's not that I want her, I need her." Discord thought he was hopeless. Even if he could win her heart, she would always know of his terrible past. She doesn't even know half of it. "Discord. I-if I were n-not already married, I w-would fall for you." Derpy said bluntly. "You really think so?" Discord never knew he was good with words to impress anypony. Not Fluttershy. "I-I know so." Derpy gave him a look of support. "C-come on. W-we came looking f-for any survivors, a-and we got one." Before Discord could interfere, Dinky did. "What a-about F-Fluttershy M-mommy?" Dinky looked up at Derpy. "Oh. Well, O-off to find F-Fluttershy!" Derpy hopped over the snow wall that she built and went a certain direction. "Mommy? I-I think that is the w-wrong way." "I-I know that. W-We should g-go to Ponyvile so we c-can wait f-for h-her there." Fluttershy was a strong pony, she would find Rainbow dash, who was also looking for survivors. "O-okay Mommy." The trio hobbled toward the direction they were going to, and started getting blown by the wind. "W-where am I?" Fluttershy just got shot out of the slide that she fell in. Discord was not with her, obviously, but she felt like something was watching her. She looked around and saw white, and more white. Wait. She saw something rainbow. That had to be Rainbow Dash, but why would she be here? "Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy's mane was getting in her eyes, and she hated how it just made the wind's greater in her face. She stepped closer to the little mound in front of her, and kept on half-walking half-jumping over to it. There was a pony there, she knew it. She gasped as she saw that it was indeed Rainbow Dash. "Fluttershy!" "Rainbow!" The two childhood friends embraced in a hug. Fluttershy was happy to not be alone, and Rainbow Dash was worried sick about Fluttershy. "Fluttershy! I found you!" "You found me? I was always in my house! With Discord!" Fluttershy didn't know that Rainbow Dash was looking for her. Does that mean that her friends were looking for her too? "Wait one second. You, spent eight whole days with Discord?!" Rainbow Dash could not imagine living with that weirdo for eight, whole days! "Yes eight whole days! And I enjoyed his company! You shouldn't talk to him that way!" Fluttershy blushed like crazy about how she actually told Rainbow Dash about her time with Discord. "Whatever! We shouldn't be arguing. We have to find the rest of ponyville, there is eight ponies who are on lookout for survivors. Including me." Rainbow Dash trotted to a direction that Fluttershy didn't even know could be a possible route to ponyville. "Come on. We gota go back. They are waiting for us." Fluttershy was confused. Who were 'they'? "Who is 'they?'" Fluttershy trotted with her, the wind blowing her mane away. "The rest of the mane six, along with Derpy, Amethyst, Dinky, Octavia, Vinyl Scratch, and Mayor Mare." Fluttershy could not believe how little ponies were at ponyville. Her friends must really be missing her. "Okay. Let's go." On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, eight lookout ponies, seven snowmare figures, six games, ponies play, five carrot cake cookies, four heating blankets, three windigos, two Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet!
On the 9th day of Christmas,Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were being blown this way and that, but that didn't stop the determined Rainbow Dash to keep on trotting to the supposed pathway to Ponyville. Behind her, was a very tired Fluttershy. She was trying as hard as she could to keep up with her friend, but kept on stopping because of over-exertion and with three hours of sleep. Fluttershy finally realized that she couldn't go on longer, so she told Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow.... I cant go on..." Fluttershy slunk to the fluffy snow and closed her eyes. "Fluttershy you can trot a couple more yards." Rainbow stopped because of the silent reply, so she looked behind her, and saw a lump of pink and blue fabric underneath snow. She immediately grabbed Fluttershy and hoisted her onto her back. Good thing she was light, because Rainbow Dash would have toppled over because of all the weight. She tried with all her might, and she sighed as she finally saw Ponyville's remains underneath three yards of snow. It was all down hill now, and Fluttershy was getting colder. Rainbow Dash would have to figure out a fast way to go down the hill. She would need some sort of sled. "Aha!" Rainbow announced as she saw a loose piece of bark from an apple tree. "I bet Applejack wont mind if I use her trees for good." So Rainbow ripped the piece of bark from the tree and she put it on the snowy ground. She realized it could only fit one pony and conflicted who should go. Fluttershy needed immediate help, since she could easily slip into hypothermia, and Rainbow Dash would have to go down too to refuel. She desperately looked around for any other pieces of loose bark. Sadly, there was none. So Rainbow Dash stayed true to her element and she set Fluttershy in a ball onto the sled and pushed her down the steep hill. Rainbow couldn't even fly since she had her wings underneath her snow-gear. She could only watch in fear as Fluttershy slid down, not knowing who could possibly save her. Something snapped inside of her, so she in-buttoned her jacket, and sweater, and opened her wings, and flew. Discord felt the air grow colder very quickly and realized it was turning night. Discord looked at Derpy and Dinky who were struggling against the wind, shivering. He was also struggling, the wind beating on their faces twenty-four-seven. When Discord looked ahead, he saw a tree, and decided that they should stay there for the night. He looked back at the two and realized they were very tired and cold. Realizing those were the first steps to getting hypothermia, he decided they had to go on, to Ponyville, wherever that was at. Derpy could only whisper a gasp as she saw Dinky trip, and fall face-first into the snow, not moving. Derpy's wonky eyes looked straight and were filled with terror and fear. Discord immediately scooped up Dinky and brushed off the snow off her face, the wind not bothering him as he did this. He also grabbed Derpy and ran to the top of the tree. He saw Ponyville, buried in hoofs of snow! He tried to think of a plan to get down, with this abnormally tall hill. He realized the biggest thing that was even close, was the tree. He pushed as hard as he could, and the tree didn't budge. He tried and tried again, but failed. He thought of Dinky's life, and Derpy's life. He didn't know them well, but he did know that you should be kind to everypony, and others. He pushed and pushed, each one making the tree a bit weak. Before he could push the tree again as his last one, he was over-exerting himself, but he didn't care. He could die of hypothermia, but he didn't care. He cared, about getting this little family back home, no mater what. As if that fueled his strength, the tree tipped over, and was ready to be sent down the hill. It was tipping, so he quickly set Dinky and Derpy onto the sled and it finally tipped over and flew down the hill. Discord then turned around, and let the wind do it's job. He fell down the hill. A purple unicorn was passing by and she noticed a little hill in the already flat snow. She trotted over to it and realized it was Dinky and Derpy out cold on a sled! Amethyst quickly grabbed the sled with her hooves and realized it was a tree. She gave a warning call by tapping her necklace and it sending a magical wave, alerting all the other ponies. It would show them the direction of where she was, and help her. Vinyl was the closest, and she was running at full speed towards Amethyst and she looked at the situation, and used her magic along with Amethyst's to carry the two bodies. They quickly ran to the medical tent, which was run by Twilight. "Twilight. We found these two, out cold, on a tree at the bottom of the hill. I think they got hypothermia!" Amethyst was panicking. She was shifting her hooves, wondering what she should do. Vinyl then tapped Amethyst's shoulder, and she looked at where Vinyl was pointing. It was another mound! This time, it looked like one body. It was pink, and blue, and yellow. "That's Fluttershy!" Amethyst shouted, and she galloped towards the still body of Fluttershy on a ripped piece of bark. She then saw Rainbow Dash quickly losing altitude. She was without any jacket or sweater! She in-gracefully flew to nowhere, and landed besides Amethyst. She looked at the medical tent, and quickly calculated that she could get Fluttershy to the tent, and probably get Rainbow Dash. She magically lifted Fluttershy and ran towards the tent. She gently placed down Fluttershy and went back for Rainbow Dash. She was growing paler, and Amethyst galloped as fast as she ever could and placed her down where there was room. She sat down herself, thankful for the rugs on the ground. She set her head down, and just numbly thought, so to speak. She then realized something. How could Derpy and Dinky go down the hill? She knew they were most likely to have hypothermia, so they must have been really cold, cold enough to lay stiffly, not able to push down a sled. She then looked out, one last time, and saw a rather large snowball rolling down the hill. "What the hay is that?" On the 9th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, nine hooves of snow, eight lookout ponies, seven snowmare figures, six games, ponies play, five carrot cake cookies, four heating blankets, three windigos, two Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet!
On the 10th day of christmas,"T-Twilight?" Derpy whispered as she woke up. She realized she was in the medical tent. Oh no... What happened to me?! Derpy looked around her body, checking if she had any broken bones, which of course she didn't. She then saw her daughter, wrapped in a blue bundle, and huddled into a little ball near her. She reached her hoof out to touch her, and she was cold. As cold as snow. That's not good... "Oh I'm sorry Derpy, what was it you wanted?" Twilight came to her, in a soft voice as to keep the aura of a cozy home. "U-uh, is, Dinky, in hypothermia?" Twilight's face went so pity as she looked at Derpy. "I think she is. I read in my first aid book that I should wrap her body around with warm blankets at her shoulders and, well, her body temperature was... a 31 in Celsius." Twilight looked back at Dinky. "She is in a coma, for sure, but I think I can revive her, but with a very hard healing spell. Is that okay?" Derpy didn't know what to say. It was a common rule for ponies to treat physical injuries with physical remedies, and magical injuries with magical remedies. Her hypothermia was probably caused physically, but then again, this storm could be magical. So, should she risk her life to be injured, or death? "*sigh* You can do it, Twilight." Derpy kneeled down to Dinky and told her. "I don't care if you aren't listening, but I just want you to know, you are the best daughter I could ever ask for. I love you." Derpy kissed her daughter, and she stepped away from her, allowing Twilight to cast the spell. "Here it goes.." Twilight's horn lit up as she cast the spell. She was sweating a little from the new spell, and then dinky's body was wrapped in a yellow light, and then disappeared as the spell was finished. "*pant pant* Di-did it work?" Twilight asked Derpy, with her eyes closed. "I, I think so!" Derpy lightly touched her daughter and she was as warm as herself! The spell was a success! "*gasp!* She is all better! She is as warm as I am!" Derpy grinned as she touched Dinky's hair. "Good. Now let's hope there isn't any side effects. Which, I need to ask, did Dinky have any, disabilities?" Derpy cringed at that word. She was continuously reminded of her 'disability' and she was sick of it. But, this was a different matter, a princess was asking if anything was wrong, in case of her safety. "No, she didn't have anything wrong with her. She was my little muffin! She was finally able to lift up a glass of water, which is a good thing, since she was one of the first in her class to do so." Derpy smiled. "Okay. So, if anything out of the ordinary happens to her, alert me, and I will write it down." Derpy nodded in response. Derpy looked around the medical tent, to see if any other pony was in need of attention. She saw Rainbow Dash, typical, then she saw a yellow and pink Pegasus. Fluttershy! Derpy observed. She then saw Twilight trotting over to Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy to check their temperatures again. Twilight sighed as she read the temperatures. Derpy was curious to what the numbers were. "Twilight? What did they read?" Derpy asked Twilght. "*sigh* Rainbow Dash has hypothermia, and so does Fluttershy. Fluttershy especially. She is very pale, she is very tired, quick breaths and careless! Those are the core signs of hyperthermia. Rainbow Dash on the other hoof, she is okay. When she is waking, she slurs her speech, and she is very cold as well. What you and Amethyst need to do, is to take off your jackets, and other extra snow clothes, and pretty much lay down next to them as they are cold. This will hopefully help with body temperature. So, could you do that?" Twilight looked at Derpy with plead. Derpy smiled and nodded. She then stripped off her clothing and got next to Rainbow Dash, her filly-hood hero. Twilight put a blanket over them, and Derpy closed her eyes, though not able to sleep, since she just woke up. "Ugh... Where, am I?" Discord questioned himself as he saw brown. He turned his head, and looked around. He was near a tree, and snow. Of course it was snow. He sat up from laying down, and realized he used to be in a snowball from the fall off the hill. Why couldn't he have just walked down? Discord thought. He didn't really care. He didn't care about anything. Heck, he didn't even care if he died. Meh, he should just go somewhere, and just sleep. He was so fatigued and careless. lacking energy and optimism. Discord fell face first into the snow and just lay there. Not wanting to move at all. He didn't notice the lack of wind, due to the tree guarding him, neither the hoofsteps gradually growing louder. Amethyst was above him, shocked to say the least. She had not expected to come face first with the crazy dragon chimera! She also had not expected the draconequus to be... sleeping. Oh, how was she supposed to bring him back to camp? Well, she just had to try the best she could, but she shouldn't jerk him around, in fear of him getting a cardiac arrest. She then tapped her necklace and waited for more recruits. Hmm... This is a great place for camp! There is less wind here, there is trees, and there isn't much snow on the ground! Oh, Vinyl is here again. We should get going. Amethyst thought as she looked around and saw Vinyl Scratch. She saw Vinyl's confused expression as she looked at Discord. "Come on, we gota carry him back." Amethyst magically lifted him up, but almost dropped him as he spoke. "Flutturshee? Flutturshee? I'm issin' yer!" Discord slurred. He was clearly having the symptoms of hypothermia, he is slurring and is shivering like crazy! He is caring about Fluttershy though, Amethyst hopes he cares about other things besides Fluttershy. "Weh nev'r sed gebye!" We never said good bye?! What did Fluttershy have to do with Discord? She may get some answers, since they were already at the medical tent. So, they carefully lowered Discord to the blanketed ground and Amethyst went in with him. "Twilight? Discord said some interesting things while we were carrying him." Amethyst ignored the startled and surprised expression Twilight was wearing. Twilight shook it off, and then asked what he said. "Well, he said this in a slurred voice, 'Flutturshee? Flutturshee? I'm issin' yer!' and also, 'Weh nev'r sed gebye!' Isnt that weird? Fluttershy and Discord must be connected somehow. Now of course, I am not good friends with Fluttershy, but you are, so you may understand this." Amethyst said. "Well, i'll think about what he said, and oh! You have to lay with Fluttershy, she is very cold and is in need of warm body heat. So take off your snow clothes, and also shake off the snow out there." Twilight pointed towards the outside. "Oh, okay Twilight." So Amethyst stripped down and snuggled with Fluttershy. She listened to her pulse as she lay sleeping. She then mumbled something, but very quiet so Twilight didn't hear. "D-Discord..." On the 10th day of Christmas my true love gave to me, 10 signs of symptoms, 9 hooves of snow, 8 lookout ponies, 7 snowmare figures, 6 games, ponies play, 5, carrot cake cookies, 4 heating blankets, 3 windigos, 2 Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet!
On the 11th day of christmas,Twilight's shift as the medic was finally over. She could finally take a break in the resting tent, well, more like the resting house. Twilight trotted over to the adjacent building, and was happy for the walls that led to the house, because otherwise, she would get cold, because of the flakes and wind. She opened the door with her magic and saw the breathing ponies laying on the ground with blankets. She went over to Starlight, the new rescued pony. She woke her up, and told her it was her shift. "Already? Well, okay." Starlight said. She got up, and Twilight took her blanket. Then Twilight settled down, and slept. Starlight then opened the door and went out. She went across the tarped pathway, and into the medical tent. She checked Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash, which Rainbow Dash had a 35 degrees Celsius. Fluttershy, however, had a low of 32 degrees Celsius. From Twilight's notes from the clipboard she gave her, Fluttershy had hypothermia, as she had expected, but if it gets 3 degrees lower, she could potentially die. Now wouldn't want that to happen. So, Starlight Glimmer prepared the warm water, and soaked some washcloths in the water. She placed the cloths onto the necks of Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, and their chests. She thought it would be good to make them hot, but Twilight said not too, and that they should be luke warm, not even warm. Starlight followed her directions. She then came across Dinky, who was breathing evenly. She felt her fur, and she was warm. That was a good sign.Starlight thought. She then saw Dinky turn, and she rolled slightly, just out of Derpy's sleepy grasp. So Starlight nudged Dinky and she moved back to Derpy's hooves. Starlight looked around, and saw a different bundle of blankets that she didn't notice before. She looked over to what it was, and it ended up that it was Discord! Then he mumbled something in his 'sleep'. He said this to Fluttershy, who was also mumbling. It sounded like a conversation. "Flutturshee?" "Discurd?" "I miss yer!" "I'm iss yer tu." That was really unusual. How can they understand each other while they are unconscious? Also, why is Discord caring so much about Fluttershy, in his state?! I know of all the letters they write back and forth, and also about the tea times that Fluttershy has with him on Wednesday, was it? Well, I can see from Twilight's notes that they have been doing this before, when Discord was hauled in, that he mentioned Fluttershy. He used to be very careless, except for Fluttershy. Now, why is he connected with Fluttershy, in their 'sleep?' Is it because of then having connected dreams? Is it because of their magical letters? Is it because.... Of them spending time together, all this time, for the holidays? Starlight was deep in thought. Well, maybe in five minutes Starlight could check on them again. Or less. She started sorting the clothes that were thrown on the ground. She found Fluttershy's scarf, mittens, hat, sweater, and jacket. She also noticed that Discord's style of clothing was very similar to Fluttershy's style of clothing. In total, she found 11 mittens, (someone lost theirs) 5 jackets, 4 sweaters, and a lot of hats and scarves. Fluttershy was seeing white, so she knew she was in the blizzard. But how? She looked around and she saw white, well except for a blotchy shape that was slowly going towards her. She tried to scream, but couldn't. She tried to run away, but couldn't. She could only watch as the gray thing came closer. She didn't know what the hay it was, but she just had a hunch that it was bad. She also tried to close her eyes, to not see this mysterious gray thing, and to also stop her nightmare, but her eyes stayed open, and occasionally blinking. She could only stare as the gray thing stand right in front of her, holding it's hand out, as if to dance. She couldn't help but accept it, since she had no control over what she was doing. The gray thing started swirling her around, making her move. It then dipped her, and through all the dancing, the thing made the snow start slowing down, and the winds to stop as well. It looked like paradise. She then looked at the scenery, then back up at the gray thing, and what used to be a scary blob, then turned into the head of Discord. And of course the rest of his body. He then twirled her around again, and then stopped her. They both just stood there, not knowing of what their uncontrolled bodies did. Discord then pulled out a small, light blue box. The same color as her eyes. He then opened it, and kneeled down. Discord then said the magical words. "Will you marry me?" Fluttershy just stared in awe as she watched Discord. He looked so handsome, and charming, in his chaotic way. But she just couldn't do it. She wasn't ready. She wasn't ready for marriage. Discord sighed, then danced with her again. The snow swirled around them, and made them float up into the air. The two danced their hearts out, and looked into each other's eyes. How could a nightmare, turn into such a perfect dream? Then they were lowered back down, as they watched the snowflakes gently swirl by. They then slow danced, with the soft winds making the music. Discord then looked into Fluttershy's eyes, and asked the words again. "Will you marry me?" Before Fluttershy coud respond, the air swallowed them, as Fluttershy and Discord woke up. On the 11th day of Christmas my true love gave to me, 11 mittens, 10 signs of symptoms, 9 hooves of snow, 8 lookout ponies, 7 snowmare figures, 6 games, ponies play, 5, carrot cake cookies, 4 heating blankets, 3 windigos, 2 Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet!
On the 12th day of christmas,Starlight was checking on the ponies who were having hypothermia. She continuously replaced the cold cloths and replaced it with warm ones. Well, more like luke-warm ones. She checked everypony's temperatures, which Rainbow Dash had a 36, and Fluttershy and Discord had a 35! How odd is it for those two to have the same recovery time, and the same temperature? Starlight thought. Yes, she was still theorizing. She concluded that they just had a connection while they were sleeping. She noticed the jerky movements from Discord that showed that he was dreaming, and from Fluttershy, well, she was kicking a little, which was a funny sight. Starlight then saw Dinky's eyes flutter open. Dinky just woke up. She yawned and stretched slightly. She then saw Starlight staring at her. Dinky gave her a weird look. "Umm, who are you?" Dinky said in her bubbly voice. "Oh, well, um, My name is Starlight Glimmer. And I am here to stay. I was here to heal you, and to make you well again, so you can play okay." Dinky realized the catchy tune from one of Pinkie Pie's songs. It was the exact same, or, at lest very similar. So Dinky hummed with Starlight. "You've had something called, Hypo-thermia. So let me heal you, so stay awake, then you can stay alive." Dinky understood what Starlight meant. She was having, whatever she just mentioned, and she needs to rest. "'Cause I need you to recover and heal, oh yes, I so very do. It makes me happy to see you bright and, lively, oh yes it does. Because the key of living, is to stay healthy. Oh just stay alive my friends." Starlight's little song ended and Dinky clopped with her little hooves. "That was great Starlight! You sang beautifully! So, you are a, Doctor? That heals ponies? And, well, doesn't do time travelly stuff. Right?" Starlight was a bit amused, since she knew the comprehension of the little pony, and also, that she did actually travel time. How ironic. "Umm, that's right. Now, would you help me around the tent? Or would you like to go back to sleep?" Starlight offered. "I want to help you around the tent! 'cause Helping is caring! Oh wait. That's sharing. But i think it's still the same thing. Oh whatever." Dinky got up from her cozy spot and slipped on a sweater. She then trotted on over to Starlight. "Okay Dinky. So what we have to do, is that we have to take off the cloths from the cold ponies' shoulders and chest. You then give me the cloths and I will exchange, and give you some warm ones. Okay?" Dinky nodded in response. Dinky ran over to Discord, who was the closest. She stared at Discord for a while, then took his cloths by her mouth. She then hoofed them to Starlight. "Wait. Aren't you a, unicorn?" Starlight gazed at her horn. "Well, yeah. But I couldn't grab stuff with magic all of a sudden. It's weird. Well, I guess I will have to do it earth pony style!" Dinky trotted on over to Rainbow Dash and grabbed her cloth, squinting, but then deciding that she should just stick with grabbing it with her mouth. Starlight looked at her checklist, and realized that Twilight noted another thing. I did a spell, and used it on Dinky. Wake me if she is dying, then I will come, but if she is not, then note what is happening. Oh okay, maybe she is just, having a little hiccup. I hope. Starlight decided to run some tests on Dinky, after she gave her the cloths. When Dinky gave Fluttershy the cloths, Starlight called her over. "Dinky? Do you mind if I run some tests on you? To see if you really recovered from, Hypothermia." Starlight was lying. She hoped Dinky didn't notice. Starlight did a spell, and made an eye chart appear. Dinky called out the letters, grudging every letter. She covered her right eye, then her left eye. She got perfect vision, which was amazing. Then she set up a pen, and Dinky could lift it up, but only for a second. Dinky was shocked herself about her failure. She then tried a simple piece of paper, and she couldn't even lift that up! Dinky sat down, her eyes watering. Starlight did a quick test, then she saw what was wrong. Dinky had horn inversus. "Dinky, you have a side effect from Twilight casting a spell on you, to cure you of your hypothermia. You see, she told me that you were almost about to die, and she had to do this one spell to keep you alive. Now, you know how there is alway's a twist to everything? Well, your horn got twisted in a way, so now, instead of your horn being, counter clockwise, it is clockwise. I'm sorry Dinky." Starlight felt true pity for her. "*sniff sniff* I don't want your pity!" Dinky shouted. She then covered her mouth with one of her hooves. "I'm sorry, well, not sorry. Sorry doesn't give you anything, only pity." Dinky then stomped away, off to an obscure room. "*sigh* I, I just don't know what to tell her! She is such a cute filly, and I cant just wipe that attitude of hers, away. She was always cheerful, always looking on the good side. Now, she has a permanent disability. Just like her mother. I can tell she is always so sick and tired of ponies calling her mother names, and now her. Oh, what should I do?" Starlight said out loud. She tried to think of things that Dinky likes, and, all Starlight could come up with, is muffins. "Maybe I could bake muffins with her." Starlight concluded. Dinky was sulking in the corner, making herself miserable. Starlight was behind her, and she couldn't think of what to say. Dinky had heard Starlight walk in, and now she spoke. "I thought I told you to not pity me." Dinky's voice was shaky. Starlight could tell that she was still getting over crying. Starlight then had an idea. "Dinky, I'm sorry that, well, you already know. So, I guess what I'm trying to say is, do you want to make muffins with me?" Starlight knew Dinky would reject it, but to her surprise, Dinky accepted. "Sure, but as long as you don't use your magic." Starlight understood and nodded. Before Starlight went to go make muffins with Dinky, she went to wake up Twilight, so she could have her shift. "Twilight? It's Starlight. I am making muffins with Dinky. Could you please take over while I'm gone?" Twilight was still rubbing her eyes. "Oh really? Well, I guess that's okay. I will be medic for now. Oh, don't forget to wash your hooves!" Twilight mumbled as she walked out of the room and into the medical tent. "Okay Dinky. Let's go make a dozen muffins!" Starlight ran up to Dinky. "Thank you Starlight. And, I'm sorry for what I said to you." "Me too." On the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me, 12 muffins a making, 11 mittens, 10 signs of symptoms, 9 hooves of snow, 8 look out ponies, 7 snowmare figures, 6 games, ponies play, 5 carrot cake cookies, 4 heating blankets, 3 windigos, 2 Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet!
On the 13th day of christmas,When Fluttershy and Discord woke up, they both just had their eyes open, but not actually lifting their heads. Twilight was looking over Rainbow Dash, the pony who was between them. Fluttershy patiently waited for Twilight to finish, so she could talk to her. Discord on the other hoof, was trying to go back to sleep. Twilight was right in front of Fluttershy, and Fluttershy was starting to get up. "Hey Twilight?" Fluttershy lifted her head so she could look at Twilight. "Oh Fluttershy! You're finally awake!" Twilight was so glad that Fluttershy was now conscious, as in, awake. "Finally? Oh, was I out long?" She had no idea that she had slept in, or where she was. "Oh yes you were. You had hypothermia. And, you were unconscious for a good 3 days." Fluttershy could not believe her ears, she had hypothermia?! "Oh. Well, may I ask, what happened that caused me to, go into hypothermia?" Fluttershy didn't remember much about what brought her here, much less, where she is. She decided to look around for a quick second. It seemed like she was in some sort of room, for ponies who were in need of recovery. "Well, I think Rainbow here has a better story to tell, rather than me." Twilight moved away, and Rainbow Dash was right near her. "*gasp!* Rainbow Dash! You're awake!" Fluttershy hugged her, with happiness that another friend shared a thought with her. "Yeah, and you are too!" Rainbow returned the gesture. "Oh, the story, right. So, we were out in the blizzard, right?" "Yeah, I was just leaving my house with Discord, but then Discord slipped into a tunnel and I did as well, except it was a separate one. Keep on going!" Fluttershy sat and listened. "So then you were in the blizzard, and you immediately saw me, because of my mane and fur color. Then we trekked across the snow, and I was hoping that we could get to Ponyville as fast as possible. You know, Ponyville is under 9 hooves of snow! But then, you got really tired, and a bit pale for that matter, and you said something along the lines of: 'oh I cant make it Rainbow Dash,' or, 'I'm going to fall.'" Fluttershy faintly remembered saying that. She was really cold at the time, and she was fainting because of over-exertion. "I thought you were just faking, but when I looked back, you were lying on the snow! I then grabbed you and hoisted you onto my back. I finally made it to the mysterious hill, that appeared out of Ponyville, for some odd reason. It was really steep, and there was nothing to sled you down, except for a small piece of bark. I knew you couldn't make it any longer without heat, so I pushed you down the hill, while you were in a little ball on the bark. I had no way of going down. If I walked down, I would probably trip, or I may take too long and die. And if I rolled down, I would get very cold. So, I had to do what my brain was telling me to do at the time; fly down." Fluttershy gasped at what Rainbow Dash had done. Pegasai sweaters usually had no wing holes, since it would be too cold to fly. Rainbow Dash, must have took off her sweater, and probably jacket, and flew down there! "I know what you are thinking Fluttershy. I was really dumb to do that, but I was cold at the time! I was doing the first plan that probably came to mind! So, I took off my sweater and jacket, and flew down. I was freezing cold, but I didn't care. I knew I had to get down, no matter what. So, I eventually lost air, because of the ridiculous winds, and that I didn't have much energy left. So, the last thing I knew, was that I muzzle-dived to the snow." Flutttershy could not believe it, Rainbow Dash almost sacrificed herself so she could go down with her. "Wow." Was all Fluttershy could say. Rainbow Dash was then called over by Twilight to run some tests on Rainbow Dash, so she could be fully prepared to save more ponies. Fluttershy then settled back down. She was a tad bored. If only there would be fun right now. The funniest ponies out there were Pinkie, and Cheese Sandwich, but Pinkie is somewhere, and Cheese is out doing his business. That only leaves to a certain draconequus that caught her eye while she was looking around. "Discord?" Fluttershy whispered. hmm? Oh, I must be dreaming. Discord thought. "Discord?" Fluttershy whispered again. That sounds too much like the real Fluttershy! Discord moved his head from his sleeping position, and turned it towards the source of the sound. "Fluttershy?" "Discord!" They harmonized. "Oh Fluttershy, I thought you were still out there!" "Me too. Oh, I have so many things to ask you, oh where do I start?" Fluttershy thought about it for one moment, and then decided to go with the one that was still fresh in her mind. "How did you escape from the blizzard?" "Me? I escaped with Derpy and Dinky! I was trying to go with them, but they started getting really tired, so I had to carry them to Ponyville, until I met up with the big hill! I had to knock over a tree, which had then drained practically all my energy, but I almost gave up, then the tree tilted and fell. I quickly put them on the tree, and then it went down the hill." Discord said quickly, so he could hear Fluttershy's sweet voice. "Well, did you hear the conversation that I had with Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy asked Discord. "Yes. Well, I have another question." "What is it Discord?" Fluttershy was curious to what he was going to say. "Umm, uhh... Did you, have a dream, last night?" Discord hoped it wasn't just his imagination. "Y-yes. What was, yours about?" Fluttershy thought the same as Discord did. "I, I guess it was, about you." Discord hoped Fluttershy didn't think he was ridiculous in his imagination. "Really?! You're, you're serious?" Fluttershy couldn't believe what Discord was implying. "Yes?" "Well, that's interesting, since I had a dream about you too!" Discord's face lightened up as she said this. "What did I do in your dream?" Discord was very curious to see if his dream, was the exact same as her dream. "Well, first, I was in a blizzard, then I saw a gray thing walking towards me. I couldn't control my body at all! The gray thing got closer, and closer," Oh no, please don't let hers be a nightmare, Discord thought. "And it then held out a hoof as if to dance. I couldn't help but accept it. So, the gray thing and I danced around, then I looked elsewhere, and when I looked back at the blob, I saw you. I grew more happy as we danced our hearts out, and soon the snow was stopping in mid-air, and the wind was gone. We then started floating, and danced some more. Then we came back down, and you asked the weirdest thing; Will you marry me? I was afraid. I did want to, but I knew I would have to accept reality some day. Then you put away the box, and we danced again, this time, right before I woke up, you asked me again; will you marry me?" Fluttershy stared into Discord's eyes. They read confusion, excitement, and also love. "You what's even funnier?" Discord was glad of Fluttershy's connected dream. "I had this dream for 13 days, ever since I came to your home. I've always had a fake Fluttershy in my dreams, but now, I had the real Fluttershy." Fluttershy saw the dreaminess in Discord's eyes. He started leaning in, and Fluttershy crashed her lips against his. She closed her eyes, and so did Discord. Little did they know, Starlight, Dinky, Derpy, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Amethyst heard the whole conversation. On the 13th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, 13 Flutter dreams, 12 muffins a making, 11 mittens, 10 signs of symptoms, 9 hooves of snow, 8 lookout ponies, 7 snowmare figures, 6 games, ponies play, 5 carrot cake cookies, 4 heating blankets, 3 windigos, 2 Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet!
On the 14th day of christmas,"I cant believe it." Rainbow Dash muttered. Fluttershy and Discord opened their eyes as they saw Starlight, Twilight, Derpy, Dinky, Rainbow Dash and Amethyst. "Umm..." Fluttershy hid behind her mane as she scooted closer to Discord. "I cant believe it." Rainbow Dash was still muttering to herself, but Discord could see Derpy looking straight at him, smiling at him. She mouthed, good job! Meanwhile, Starlight and Twilight were staring at each other, unsure of what to say. Amethyst finally spoke, saying, "I didn't know they were together!" By this time, Fluttershy got a very serious blush, and her face went aflame. There was then some more awkward silence, then Rainbow Dash shouted. "I CANT BELIEVE IT!" She was beyond shocked to how Fluttershy could, could, could openly kiss Discord! She flew her short distance to Fluttershy and turned her head towards her. "HOW CAN YOU KISS THAT, THAT GUY?!" Fluttershy winced at Rainbow Dash's volume. She then shrank back towards Discord, who immediately wrapped his mis-matched arms around her body. Discord then replied. "Of course she kissed 'that guy!' She kissed the guy that she wanted to! Now, Rainbow Dash, do you even know what Fluttershy and I have done together?!" Rainbow couldn't think of what to say. She couldn't believe what Fluttershy did, or, at least she suspected. Discord's answer also left her thinking, besides being speechless. What. Have. They. Been. Doing? "Discord? I, I think you may want to explain." Twilight was probably thinking what Rainbow Dash was thinking as well. "What do I need to explain? We like each other! I stayed at Fluttershy's house for the holidays, not knowing the snow was going to get this bad. Do I really need to explain any more?" Upon Discord's explanation, Fluttershy's face got pale. She was thinking the sole words, like each other, like, each, like... like... Fluttershy then cried.Discord saw her 14 tears that fell onto the mat so he automatically slipped down to the mat they were sitting on, and went to a lying pose with Fluttershy. Everypony heard her whimpers and sobs, muffled because of Discord's fur. They then slowly trotted away, even Derpy, who knew they needed their own talking space. By the time everypony was gone, he then started talking. "Fluttershy, you can tell me anything, remember?" Discord ran his fingers through her hair, as he heard her crying slow. "*sniff sniff* I, I know that. It's, it's just that, so much has been going on." Fluttershy's muffled voice came to Discord's ears. "I know that. You know what? How about we just take this, one at a time." Discord suggested. "O-okay. *clears throat* For s-starters, I cant believe Rainbow Dash's reaction. I, I thought she would be okay with it, but I guess not." Fluttershy thought she would be loyal, but maybe this is the wrong case. "And the other thing?" Discord couldn't think of anything else that would make Fluttershy cry, until, she spoke. "You liked me." "What? What's so wrong about that?" His response was another cry. "Y-you like me, unlike our dream..." Fluttershy was still thinking about that one phenomenon. Would she have said yes? "Fluttershy, do you know what you just felt?" Discord was trying so hard not to smirk. "What?" "You just got friend-zoned." Fluttershy stared at him for a moment, then he started laughing. Which confused Fluttershy. "I-I'm sorry, I guess I must have not explained why. You see, when you like someone, but the other guy said he just thinks you are a friend, or in this case, he just 'likes you', you feel rejected. Now don't you understand?" Fluttershy then understood, but was still hurt inside. She didn't know what to say to Discord. "Y-yes." Was the only word she could muster, without breaking again. Discord saw Fluttershy's face. She was still melancholy, and Discord had to cheer her up. He then gave an expression, as if to show he just had a brilliant idea. Discord then got up from his spot, and held out his hand. Fluttershy was relating this scenario to her dream. She slowly took his hold, and he pulled her off the ground, and they were in the middle of the room. Fluttershy, at first, was still feeling a bit sad, so she looked around, to see if her friends were nearby to watch, which they were not. She looked back up to Discord's face, and she saw that it showed brightness and warmth, her whole mood changed. Yes, it was exactly like their dream, they were dancing through out the night, always looking into each other's eyes. It was perfect. They danced all the way up to the top of the tent, thanks to their wings, and they continued to dance up there. They lowered back down, yet in a spinning motion. They both didn't want to stop. So they kept on dancing and dancing and dancing. They slowly went to a stop, and Fluttershy's heart skipped a beat as she saw Discord bend down to one knee. He pulled out a small blue box, the same color as the one in her dream. He said the words that Fluttershy didn't know the answer to; "Will you marry me?" Fluttershy didn't want him to keep on waiting, so she thought it through quickly, but thoroughly. She then said a very prideful response. That response was "Yes." On the 14th day of Christmas my true love gave to me, 14 sorrow, filled tears, 13 flutter dreams, 12 muffins a making, 11 mittens, 10 signs of symptoms, 9 hooves of snow, 8 lookout ponies, 7 snowmare figures, 6 games, ponies play, 5 carrot cake cookies, 4 heating blankets, 3 windigos, 2 Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet!
On the 15th day of christmas,So by the time the rest of the ponies went back into the medical tent, they saw no one inside. Rainbow Dash was still suspecting Discord, Starlight was wondering how they got out so silently, and Amethyst and Derpy? Well, they both are having the time of their lives 'shipping' Fluttershy and Discord. Twilight was probably wondering about other things. By now, Pinkie Pie and Mayor Mare, came back to Ponyville, with the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Behind them, were Octavia, Applejack and Rarity, with Lyra and Bonbon. They were all freezing cold, and Starlight and Twilight noticed that. So they immediately set up warm cloths and the needed supplies for treatment of hypothermia. Apple Bloom almost instantly lied down onto the mats and blankets that were provided. Spike was at the back of the crowd, who had icicles hanging from his nose. Twilight bet that he couldn't even make a spark, since he was that cold. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo came trotting to the mats, which Spike almost got ran over in the process. Either way, the fillies, and dragon, made their way to the mats. Mayor Mare, was coughing, Pinkie was shivering, Octavia was numb all over, and Rarity was chattering. Lyra and Bonbon were having sore throats. Applejack was having the worst of them all, she was nearly unconscious. AJ just stumbled and fell to the ground, making the ponies next to her, (Lyra and Bonbon) gasp, but resort in coughs. "How did you ponies make it?" Derpy was the first to speak. It was everyone's question in they had in mind. "W-We, w-were, t-taking c-camp, every s-so often." Rarity chattered. "Oh." Derpy decided to leave the conversation, since Dinky yawned. She led her daughter to the resting house, and she snuggled up with her. "We stayed in the schoolhouse, the bell tower, and the clubhouse apparently." Octavia explained. "That makes much more sense now!" Amethyst tried to contribute. Then again, she couldn't really relate to what they were talking about, so she decided to try to look for Fluttershy and Discord. So Amethyst grabbed her turquoise sweater, and went down a tarped pathway. She then ended up in a room with some left over furniture, and it looked a living room. Hey look! There's a fireplace! I hope it still works. She thought. She put some wooden logs that were beside the brick structure, and used her magic to make fire. The logs became aflame, and Amethyst was sure that there was nothing stuck in the chimney, by knowing the smoke was going up into the chimney. She saw there was stairs to go up, so Amethyst climbed up the stairs, to venture what was nearby. When she was at the second floor, she saw a bed, a nightstand, and a lamp. She then saw two still bodies, but occasionally breathing. She creeped over, and saw the face of a sleeping Fluttershy, and Discord. She was a bit shocked, but she knew of Fluttershy's and Discord's relationships a little bit, so she knew that they shared a bed if they wanted too. She started creeping back down the stairs, but stopped because of Fluttershy speaking. "Discord?" "Yes?" "It's official, that, we, are engaged?" What?! Engaged?! Amethyst had to stifle a gasp. "Yes, what makes you say that my dear?" "Well, just making sure." "Well, good night." "Good night." That... Was a tad awkward... Aren't I eavesdropping? Amethyst thought to herself as she stepped down the stairs as silent as a cat. She then encountered Rainbow Dash, who was at the tarped path. "Where's Discord and Fluttershy? Have you seen them?" Rainbow looked hysterical. "Umm, maybe. Why?" Amethyst was confused as to why Rainbow Dash was looking for those two. "They froze the cutie mark crusaders!!" "What?! How?!" Amethyst thought that Discord was reformed, and from what she heard up there, they seem like a perfect match. "Twilight thinks these windigos, the horses that are causing this big mess of a blizzard, are also part changeling! Therefore, they feed on love, and hate!" Rainbow was clearly stating the obvious, as though everypony knew it by heart. "Okay, so, how does this relate to Fluttershy and Discord?" Amethyst was defending them, she doesn't think that they did anything wrong. They were just enjoying each other's company. "Well, there was 15 windigos in total, and 3 were totally different from the rest! One looked like Discord, and another looked like Fluttershy! Then one looked like it was in charge, but looked like no pony that I've seen! You see?! They are the culprits!" Rainbow was ready to critic every false word at this point, and Amethyst was still confused; how does this make them guilty? "Well, I'm not sure I agree with you about that, but may I see the trio that got frozen?" Amethyst doubted that they even got frozen. She walked in and... "*GASP!*" She saw the 3 frozen fillies stuck in solid ice. One with the red parka, that was Applebloom, another in a purple dress, Sweetie Belle, and one with an orange hoodie, and that was Scootaloo. Amethyst didn't even notice the 3 windigos circling the ponies who were jaw-dropped at the frozen statues. They were very similar to Fluttershy and Discord, but the last one, looked like a whispy pony with a flowing dress. Her name, was Pyry, the leader of the Snowdigos. On the 15th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, 15 Snowdigos, 14 sorrow, filled tears, 13 flutter dreams, 12 muffins a making, 11 mittens, 10 signs of symptoms, 9 hooves of snow, 8 lookout ponies, 7 snowmare figures, 6 games, ponies play, 5 carrot cake cookies, 4 heating blankets, 3 windigos, 2 Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet! Author's Note I did a thousand words!!! *feels proud for myself*
On the 16th day of christmas,"What should we do, my queen?" One of the windigos asked Pyry, the leader of the snowdigos. "Don't you know what we should do? We should break those two up!" Pyry schemed as she looked into the blizzard, her snowdigos saw the pony's body temperatures. Meanwhile she was different. She could see pony's aura of emotion. She saw the butter Pegasus laying with that chimera. Their inter-winded bodies were surrounded by pink wisps of light, love. Yuck. Even she herself was not cool with that relationship. She herself, a hybrid, would not even think about going out with a colt! It would not a line with mother nature, and she herself was a mistake! Oh, just thinking about what the kids would look like if she were to mate. The thought alone made her shiver in disgust. Why did mother and father have to meet up? "Why are you just wisping there, get moving!" Pyry ordered the one windigos who was just standing there. She floated to where her fellow snowdigos were wisping. There was one that transformed into a pony that looked like the butter Pegasus, Fluttershy, and another, who was more advanced in transforming, looked like the draconequus, Discord. Except, it looked a bit wonky, since the snowdigo made Discord's head a bit to round, and resulted in a blob shaped face. Pyry just face-palmed at his mistake. Stupid brother... She thought. "Look Eryi." Pyry transformed into Discord perfectly, so she pridefully showed her brother that she could change. "See? Not that hard." She turned around and swished her dragon tail as she went up to her throne. She heard snickering behind her, and she glared at her brother and sister, who were the culprits. "What did you do?" Eryi just pointed at her scales with his snow hoof. She then looked to see a piece of paper saying: I sTuPiD! Eryi's and his sister Chilam's giggles escaped from their mouths and they brusted out laughing. Pyry just rolled her eyes at their antics. Again. She was a bit sick and tired of their goofing off. They were just showing every windigo that the snowdigos were just immature. Which was the exact opposite that she wished they would act. She couldn't even believe that she was even related to those weirdos. She was here to be the leader of the Windigos, but soon to be Snowdigos. Pyry just couldn't be a bad example for the mystical windigos. She had to put a stop to this. "Eryi, Chilam, if you too's behavior keeps up, you know the consequence." Pyry knew they dreaded the consequence, every windigo dreaded the consequence. It could include being in the sun room, being associated with vaccums, and fire. Pyry switched back to her snowdigo frame. She looked like a white pony, but with the continuous flurries of snow trailing behind her head, like turquoise hair. She had piercing blue eyes, and she had snowflakes all over her hooves, 16 in counting. Then to top it all off, she had a flowing dress that had snowflakes, and wind literally on the dress. She liked her appearance, where her mane looks flowing, no matter what. She then pointed her hoof to the door, which was made out of ice. They were in their Flurry palace, where everything was cold, windy, and perfect. Eryi and Chilam obeyed their older sister's commands and walked through it to their rooms. Pyry settled herself onto the light blue throne that was made up of permafrost as the seat and frost as the cushion. She sat her flank onto the comfy cushion and sat there, her hoof to her cheek, bored out of her mind. Well, she may as well start on the new orders to the Windigos, or, even better, go out herself and impersonate those perfect ponies. "Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?" Amethyst was singing the happy tune, in spite of the grief aura surrounding the cutie mark crusaders and the grief filled ponies huddled around them. "Oh I'm listen' alright. Don't ya see mah littl' sissy here is frozen solid?!" Applejack was growing as hysterical as Rainbow Dash, even though she is on the mats. "Applejack, I perfectly see her frozen, but I still cant believe that they even got frozen solid! Just how can that scientifically happen?" Amethyst did not mention to anypony that she saw Discord and Fluttershy, sleeping together. She cant really imagine them being the cause of this, but she wont speak against it, because it will more than likely, result in her friends shouting against her. "Who else do you think did it?! They feed on love, so they must be it!" Amethyst was growing tired of this one sided argument. "AJ! Stop it! I am sick of your debating, with no concrete evidence!" Amethyst's eyes started watering, but she didn't care. "Oh, I'ma sure you have concrete evidence huh? Tell us then!" AJ was resorting back to her stubborn self, but something seems off about her. Though, Amethyst was too angry to think of this, and snapped. "I SAW THEM SLEEPING TOGETHER!!!!" Amethyst saw one quick look at the crowd, and then she ran away to some unknown house. Applejack made a sudden move, and then she sneered at Amethyst. She shouldn't trust a 16 year old mare, she is still a filly. AJ knew deep down that she was not her usual self, but her outside quickly rotted, as she turned her head away as well. On the 16th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, 16 winter snowflakes, 15 snowdigos, 14 sorrow, filled tears, 13 flutter dreams, 12 muffins a making, 11 mittens, 10 signs of symptoms, 9 hooves of snow, 8 lookout ponies, 7 snowmare figures, 6 games, ponies play, 5 carrot cake cookies, 4 heating blankets, 3 windigos, 2 Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet!
On the 17th day of christmas,Fluttershy woke up. She felt the spot next to her, and it was cold. Where's Discord? She thought. She groggily rubbed her eyes as she looked around. She was in a bedroom, but with stairs leading down. She was just about to get out of bed to put on a sweater, but she then saw two mis-matched antlers bobbing, as though a certain draconequus was walking up the stairs. Fluttershy just exclaimed at him. "Discord! You're here! Where have you been? Did you wake up, and couldn't go back to sleep?" Fluttershy also got out of bed and put on her nearby sweater. She was still half asleep, so she didn't notice Discord's reaction to her statement. He repulsed at the innocence of her actions. She just walked to his side and looked up to him. He so wanted to smack that little grin off her, but he had to keep his character, because if he didn't, well, she would notice. "Well sweetie, I, um... just needed to get some air. After all, we are cooped up in this room." He nervously grinned, he hoped this went over Fluttershy's head. She seemed like she took the excuse. Oh boy, is she motioning, that I, hug her? Oh please, I don't want to do lovey dovey stuff with her! Oh no. She.. she kissed me. Fluttershy crooked her head at Discord. He was just staring at the wall, probably in his mind. Oh, did I startle him with my kiss? She thought. Fluttershy didn't think much about the unusualness of his actions. He was just probably getting a bit claustrophobic, like he said. She slinked passed Discord's still body and went down the stairs. She saw that there was a fire place, and the fire inside was dying. She placed some more logs into the mantle and the flames arose again. She sat down next to the fire place, and decided to warm up. She looked at the stairs, and saw Discord finally walk down. He saw her staring at him, and muttered a "oh." as he went to Fluttershy and wrapped his body around her, awkwardly. Apparently she thought it was comfy, because she lied her chin onto his fur. He shivered at the touch, and got reminded of his order. He had to make Fluttershy jealous of Discord, but how? She's just so kind, like her element, but she is certainly something else. She is gullible. He decided for Discord to 'like' somepony else, but whom? He remembered the scrolls of names that he found in the ponyville town hall. He decided that, there is this one farmer who is quiet as her, but then again, since he was Discord, he had to find a match with someone else. It cant be a pony that she can just 'stare' down, like her friends, or it cant be someone she despises. Well, she doesn't have anypony she despises. Wait. She cant stare down a pony higher than her, or more worthy than her... He got his answer. But how should he interpret the princess into this love life, and make it a love triangle? He got the perfect plan. Amethyst was eavesdropping, again. She was looking at the two love birds, laying at the fireplace. She already had breakfast, so there was no need to go back. She looked at Discord's behavior. She noticed that, he was acting a bit different. Maybe he was itching to do chaos? Then he would me more jumpy and at the edge of his seat. No it's not that. Wait. What about his character? He is very random, but this looks like an impersonation! She was glad that she went in the tardis a few times with her dad, because she would have never known any difference between Discord, and this Discord. He would probably be all sappy around her, but this one seems resistant. Sort of, trying to do the least possible things with Fluttershy. Amethyst could just imagine herself in a black-and-white scene. Amethyst Whooves as the detective. She is a newbie on the job, but has learned a lot from her mentor; Doctor Whooves. Yeah okay, it's a bit childish, but she didn't really mind. She was a bit exaggerating the plot, but she was trying to have fun in the gloomy environment. She had to do something about the mystery of why the trio of fillies got frozen. Maybe Fluttershy knows about something... Then again she should probably wait until they were done having their 'time together.' So she decided to start off with why there was a blizzard. She could ask the panicky Rainbow Dash, about the inside scoop. "Rainbow Dash? May I ask a few questions?" Amethyst said as she levitated a small notebook and quill. "Me? Why, I don't have enough time for, well, I guess I could answer a few questions." Rainbow Dash settled herself down onto the nearby chair. "So Miss Dash, do you have any facts to why there is a blizzard? Maybe in the weather factory, something backfired?" Rainbow Dash was a bit surprised that she used the context; 'miss dash" in a way to show formality. "Well, not that I remembered. I could say that the weather factory practically got destroyed by the blizzard! So I think it may not be the pegasi who was doing it." Finally, Rainbow Dash was co-operating. She scribbled down these notes onto her notepad. "Anything else?" "Oh yeah! I remember that there was faint pony shapes out my window. I also had to go to the ground, since the weather above was too violent." Faint pony shapes? Maybe windigos? Amethyst thought. "Thank you Miss Dash. Now you are dismissed." Amethyst watched Rainbow Dash trot away. With this evidence, hopefully filling up the 17 pages, she would be able to piece together this mystery of the windigos. On the 17th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, 17 notepad pages, 16 winter snowflakes, 15 snowdigos, 14 sorrow, filled tears, 13 flutter dreams, 12 muffins a making, 11 mittens, 10 signs of symptoms, 9 hooves of snow, 8 lookout ponies, 7 snowmare figures, 6 games, ponies play, 5 carrot cake cookies, 4 heating blankets, 3 windigos, 2 Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet!
On the 18th day of christmas,Pyry was watching her brother perform as Discord from the ice floor. The floor acted like a gigantic television, which was a fun perk her castle did. She just had to tap the floor twice, then say "Show me Discord." Or any other name you would like to see. The screen would then show you the desired pony you are looking for. Now with this, you have to say the names, not their appearance. Pyry would have to say Eryi, instead of Discord. Speaking of, she watched "Discord" lay down with Fluttershy, and waited until she was asleep. He then tapped his fingers twice onto the ground, and then transformed into his snowdigo self. She watched him fly away, over to the ice palace, and also watched the real Discord sleep with Fluttershy. She heard the pounding of hooves on the ice door, and she glided over to it and opened it for him. "Excellent work, Eryi. Now there was a few hiccups, but I think Fluttershy here, thought it was normal." Eryi still had trouble remembering that his big sister had the big screen on the floor, and that she could see anypony she wanted too. "Yes. She did my queen." Eryi cringed at the word. "My plan for those two to separate, could be where the chimera, would go out with the princess." Pyry liked her little brother's thinking. She was going more to the separate them forever! move, but his approach, made it seem more wicked, and cold. She liked cold. "Nice work of jealousy Eryi. This plan should work. Thank you." What the heck?! She took my idea! She said thank you! Wow, maybe she is changing for the better. Nah, she will more than likely involve more consequences later on. That's probably why she is so nice. As Eryi trotted away, Pyry stomped on the icy ground twice, and said: "Show me Celestia!" She then got a living image of the pitch perfect princess. She was raising the sun right now, but almost wasn't able too because of the blizzard. She noticed that she was being helped by her sister. I didn't think the blizzard would handicap the princesses! Pyry realized. She tapped the floor twice again and said: "Show me Discord." This time. She took both the living images, and compared the two. She noted that DIscord had eternal life, and so did Celestia. They both were complete opposites, just like Fluttershy. They also both have powers. {Perfect match. Pyry thought. She just had to trap them both, and maybe control Celestia for the sun. Nah, Luna can do it. By the time Fluttershy woke up at the fire place, Discord had left her, without a fire. She was shivering, and she looked around desperately to find him. She got up and went upstairs, and she gasped as she saw Discord writing what appeared to be love letters! For a moment she was overjoyed, but was quickly saddened as she realized they were not directed to her. Heck, Discord didn't even acknowledge her presence. She watched, with tears in her eyes, as he sealed the letters with the all famous canterlot seal. Also known as the princesses' seal. When she saw the last love letter finished, she quickly flew up to the bed, and she cried. "Why?!" "Why, Fluttershy? I'll tell you why! Celestia here, is a much better pony than you! She is as old as me, she is practically as powerful as me, and she will live forever, like me." Discord swished his tail in pure pride, that he has won the heart of the princess. He could fulfill his dreams of pleasing his older sister. By acting, which was his specialty. He then thought of a brilliant idea, it made him cringe a little, but he did it in the name of the queen, Pyry! He then exaggerated, the act he was about to do. Fluttershy saw Discord kiss each love letter one, by, one. "Muah!" One. Fluttershy watched sickly as he did this. "Muah!" Two. She really hoped this was a nightmare. "Muah!" Three. Three times the charm? No? "Muah!" Four. Fluttershy's face started to break. "Muah!" Five. Why did he have to cheat on her?! "Muah!" Six. She couldn't believe that Discord would do this... "Muah!" Seven. How could he do this if he got her a ring and everything?! "Muah!" Eight. "What about all the things we did to-" "Muah!" Nine. "gether..." Fluttershy's voice broke as well. "Muah!" Ten. "I, I cant believe it..." "Muah!" Eleven. "You would cheat on me..." "Muah!" Twelve. "And I cant do anything about it..." "Muah!" Thirteen. Fluttershy sobs. "Muah!" Fourteen. She cried and cried. "Muah!" Fifteen. She cried her heart out. "Muah!" Sixteen. She sniffed, and whimpered. "Muah!" Seventeen. But that didn't make a difference. "Muah!" Eighteen. Because he was already done. "Eighteen.. December eighteenth.. Eighteen love letters..." Fluttershy sighed, closing her sticky eyes. "I guess you love her that much, that you rub it In my FACE!" Fluttershy turned her head to look at him as she opened her eyes, but was shocked to find him waving at her, and flying out the window, holding the cards. She couldn't help but stare. She was so exhausted... She lowered her head, and she didn't see the purple unicorn stare at her in the face... "Oh my Celestia..." On the 18th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, 18 cheatful love letters, 17 notepad pages, 16 winter snowflakes, 15 snowdigos, 14, sorrow, filled tears, 13 flutter dreams, 12 muffins a making, 11 mittens, 10 signs of symptoms, 9 hooves of snow, 8 lookout ponies, 7 snowmare figures, 6 games, ponies play, 5, carrot cake cookies, 4 heating blankets, 3 windigos, 2 Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet...
On the 19th day of christmas,Amethyst went to check on Fluttershy again. She didn't see her at the fireplace, so she looked around. Amethyst turned her head and saw the tip of Fluttershy's tail up the stairs. She softly tip-hoofed up the stairs and saw Discord kissing love letters, with Fluttershy crying! My conclusions were correct! This must not be the real Discord! Amethyst thought. Oh no, is, is Fluttershy accepting this? "Muah!" What about all the things we did to-" "Muah!" "gether.." Amethyst bit her tongue to not gasp in shock. Discord interrupted her, was rude to her, and above all, he CHEATED ON HER! "Muah!" "I, I cant believe it," "Muah!" "You would cheat on me..." "Muah!" "And I cant do anything about it..." Amethyst almost teared up, because of Fluttershy's voice crack, and voice of reasoning, but also that she just, gave up. She didn't even confront him, she just, was a door mat. Amethyst continued to see that Fluttershy noticed that it was 18 love letters, on the 18th day, but then what she didn't expect, was that Discord flew away, and was waving at Fluttershy! As if to say: Good bye! I will not write! She saw Fluttershy slide down, and Amethyst quickly went to her side. She saw Fluttershy close her eyes. What the hay is wrong with this Discord? Amethyst thought. "Oh my celestia!" She said because of the princess, and because of the sudden change of temperature. She felt the room quickly change temperature, causing her to sneeze. She felt Fluttershy's body, and realized it had gone cold. She then saw Fluttershy get up, even though she was freezing cold, she looked nothing of the sort! In fact, her eyes went to slits as she said boldly: "Well I don't care about this engagement either!" Fluttershy in-did her necklace and threw it on the ground and stomped on it, and threw it out the window. All in the meantime of Amethyst standing there. She then saw Fluttershy's eyes go back to their original circle. "Fluttershy, are you okay?" Amethyst touched her friends shoulder, and was glad it was warm again. "*gasps!* Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't notice you were there, and you startled me." Fluttershy looked away, and she looked down. Amethyst thought of a perfect question to solve her mystery, or at least help, to see if the windigos were actually taking part in this. "Nice necklace Fluttershy." Amethyst calmly said. She watched Fluttershy self-consciously touch her neck, to feel the necklace, and gasped as she looked down and realized it wasn't there! "W-wait Fluttershy, I know where it went." Oh crap. I just got the cat out of the bag now. She watched Fluttershy's face go from the previous confusion and fear, to considerate, and kind. "Do you promise that you believe every word I say?" Amethyst hoped Fluttershy would understand. To her surprise, she said yes and nodded. "Okay, here it goes. So, Discord was on that bed," She pointed to the bed. "and he was writing love letters and was kissing all 18 of them." Fluttershy gasped in happiness. Amethyst wished it was like that. "But he appeared to be sending it to the princesses, well, more like, princess." She watched in pity as Fluttershy's face went from happiness, to sadness. "Anyway, he noticed you, and finally acknowledged it. He then waved and flew out the window." Amethyst hugged Fluttershy, and also said, "I'm sorry, but not sorry." When she said this, Fluttershy's face was full of tears, but also anger. Amethyst continued her sentence. "I think this is not the real Discord. Or, was just a minute ago, the real you. You threw your necklace with your ring and stomped it on the floor and threw it out the window. You would never do that, and Discord would never reject you. Understand?" She noticed Fluttershy went to her own throat and rubbed it, as if she was pretending to feel the necklace again. She nodded, and looked out the window. She finally uttered her few, but necessary words. "I believe you, but who caused it?" Amethyst smiled, since she knew the answer to that, almost perfectly. "I think they are changelings, or windigos, that went inside you. From my notes, I came up with changelingwindigos as the culprit, or, how I like to call them, changdigos." Amethyst stepped to where Fluttershy was standing, and looked out as well. She gasped as she realized that Fluttershy's ring was nowhere to be seen. Fluttershy glimpsed Amethyst's expression, and heard her gasp, and she couldn't hold it in anymore. She cried. She will never find the ring again... She didn't care it was 0.19 carats, all she cared about, was the memory that came with it. She apparently made a whole new set of tears, and she cried out that set too. Amethyst could only comfort her through this tough time for her. She would be that closest pony that is nearby, and cry into their shoulder. She didn't really mind, that she wasn't her best friend, or of all the tears that were trailing down her fur. Amethyst soon realized that Fluttershy had cried herself to sleep, and Amethyst got under the spell of sleep, the natural spell, at least. On the 19th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, .19 carat ring, 18 cheatful love letters, 17 notepad pages, 16 winter snowflakes, 15 snowdigos, 14, sorrow filled tears, 13 flutter dreams, 12 muffins a making, 11 mittens, 10 signs of symptoms, 9 hooves of snow, 8 lookout ponies, 7 snowmare figures, 6 games, ponies play, 5 carrot cake cookies, 4 heating blankets, 3 windigos, 2 Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet.
On the 20th day of christmas,Amethyst was practically watching a live action movie. She remembered this one, she watched it recently. It looked like the movie, called Scrooged. She remembered it from last year or so. Anyway, she was in an office space, and she saw Discord. He looked very angry, and wanted this chaos show to air on Hearth's Warming's eve! How ridiculous is that?! Amethyst took a quick break, by looking out the window. She appeared to be floating, but she was probably on the highest floor, in Manehattan. She looked back, and saw Discord shout at Silver Shill. Don't question how she knows this, because she saw (and heard,) Discord shout his name, more than likely a million times. "You want me to make it orderly?! Well, how about this?!" Amethyst heard the lines as if she heard it from behind, forward, and practically all around. She saw Discord snap his fingers and made a piece of paper appear, with the lines for the up coming Hearth's Warming special, which is a play. She continued to watch it, and she was once again reminded of the memories of watching this movie. She saw the office ponies leave, after Discord dismissed them, and she saw him walk up to Twilight, who was at the front desk. He ordered her to fire Silver Shill, which of course made Twilight say: Well it's Hearth's Warming's eve! Give him a break!" She saw Discord snap back, which he said: "Who in the name of Celestia should care about Hearth's Warming? It's a bribery holiday, they make you help the sick, meanwhile you could be making movie shows for ponies to watch!" Discord also ordered her to make sure she gives his sister, (Ilovekimpossiblealot) a towel. Amethyst smirked at this little scene. Twilight tried to object, but knew she wouldn't get anywhere. She knew she would secretly give KP a good gift, besides a towel. Amethyst saw Discord stomp away back into his office, because of him wanting to work late. He ordered Twilight to do so also. She quickly disagreed to that, since she had her family, and she was having a Hearth's Warming dinner with her husband, Mother, Father, and some orphaned foals. Discord just rolled his eyes in disgust, and also made it audible. Twilight just stormed out of the room, but still in an orderly manner. Discord just rolled his eyes once again at her actions. Amethyst could not wait for the next part. Sure, it was a little creepy, but it sure was funny! It has been a good hour of work time and he was just about to get some cider. He then heard knocking. He heard it again. He groaned as he said: "Who is it?!" There was no reply. Instead, there was another knock. Discord was really curious to who would be knocking at this hour, but he felt like it was not worth opening. Instead, he got the door to warp and molt with hooves, as if someone was trying to work clay. He was truly terrified, but what really scared him the most, was the dead mare that came with it. "It's Granny Smith, your old mentor." Discord was shocked that this thing, could still walk on four legs! "What are you doing here?!" Discord shouted. "Just getting a mug of cider!" Granny Smith took a mug and drank it, but most of it came out of her body. "No, I mean business, and when I mean business, I mean holidays." Oh boy, this conversation again?! He thought. "Oh I have passed away seven years ago! Well, maybe it was five years ago." Granny said in her raspy voice. "But that's not the issue at hoof here! You are going to do hearth's Warming, instead of this office junk!" Granny slammed her hoof onto the nearby counter, causing it to break. "Hey hey hey! That is fine oak apple wood!" Granny got hold of his long snake-like neck and she held him, with Discord taking quick breaths of air. "You are going to meet three ghosts, tonight!" She let go of Discord and he looked to see the nearby quill and parchment move on it's own. The old mare was nowhere in sight. It was writing to his true love, that he left years ago. He couldn't stop the purple feather, or the paper, as it was sent to her mailbox. He pleaded that it got lost on the way, but the magic now was too great. Sooner or later, his true love came to his door, but this time at the very bottom of the building. His jaw dropped as he saw the yellow pegasus mare walking down the hallway, who had those beautiful teal eyes, and the pink hair. "Uhh... Fluttershy?" Discord could not believe his eyes, he was seeing her, but it wasn't really him who sent her the letter. She didn't really mind, but she talked with him a little bit, and gave him the address to the homeless shelter, who he was not fond of. She then left him hanging, his brain spinning because of what he experienced again. Amethyst felt the image grow weaker and warped, and she all of a sudden woke up, with Fluttershy next to her. She looked over at the clock and it read 20:16, but it changed to 20:17, which is also known as 8:16 and 8:17. "It was all a dream..." Amethyst realized. "It was a sign..." She looked at Fluttershy who was still asleep. "That the two were getting back together!" Amethyst had to chew the side of her cheek from not squealing out loud. She was still tired, so she fell back down onto the floor, and let her mind wander and think about what she had just concluded. On the 20th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, 20:17, .19 carat ring, 18 cheatful love letters, 17 notepad pages, 16 winter snowflakes, 15 snowdigos, 14, sorrow, filled tears, 13 flutter dreams, 12 muffins a making, 11 mittens, 10 signs of symptoms, 9 hooves of snow, 8 lookout ponies, 7 snowmare figures, 6 games, ponies play, 5 carrot cake cookies, 4 heating blankets, 3 windigos, 2 Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet! Author's Note Go check out ilovekimpossiblealot! She's cool! She's not me, I'm not a popular youtuber at all, but just check her out, I included her in this story, so... just do it. I know you want too.
on the 21st day of christmas,When Fluttershy woke up, she woke with such a jolt that she smacked the pony next to her, who was Amethyst. She immediately put her hooves to her lips, since she did it accidentally. She saw Amethyst wake up as soon as she put her hooves to her lips, then Amethyst put her hoof to her face, which got smacked. "Ohh... What was that for?" She said groggily. Fluttershy's face grew a tad hot, since it was a funny reason to why she did do this action. Fluttershy replied to the sleepy Amethyst, and as soon as she said his name, Amethyst sat up and paid attention. "I had a dream about Discord." Amethyst was wide awake, at least, she was trying too at this point. She smiled for a bit, but then frowned as she thought of the down side. "What was the dream about?" She said as she rubbed her eyes. "Well, as I said earlier, it was about Discord, and I imagined I was dancing with him, again." Fluttershy looked somber, as though she was wishing she could see him again. "Wait.. Again?" Amethyst was a bit confused about what she said. "Oh, never mind that. What we were doing, was as I said, dancing. Like last time, we were in a blizzard, but this particular blizzard, I could feel the snow on my fur. Last time, it felt like air. It was very similar to last time, when all I saw was darkness, but with the occasional flake in my eye. I was also not in the center of this blizzard. I could see the center, oddly enough, but I wasn't in the middle. I saw Discord, huddled up in a little ball, rocking back and forth, saying: 'i'll be good! I'LL BE GOOD!' Which really confuses me." Amethyst took this all in, by showing an array of emotions following it. "He also mumbled Celestia, which is also a bit odd. Maybe this is another one of those connected dreams..." Fluttershy wondered out loud. "Wait. You had a connected dream with Discord?! Oh wait. That's right. I did know about that. S-sorry about that." Amethyst just closed her mouth as she closed her eyes for a bit. "What do you think it means?" Fluttershy wanted to hear another pony's thoughts about this mystery. "Well, I think it means that Discord was maybe trying to impress Celestia, but failed miserably because he is, well you know, used to be evil." Amethyst theorized. Fluttershy just stared at her. "O-kay. Maybe I am completely wro-" "Wrong?!" Fluttershy practically jumped on Amethyst at her lack of confidence. "You're right! It makes a lot of sense! The fake Discord would go, but then leave the real Discord hanging, so he just has to go to Celestia. His mind would still be on, 'I need to impress her!' So he would be scolded for not being 'good.' What, am I going to far?" Fluttershy put her hooves up and gave a questioning look. "Umm.. No you're not. But, maybe we should get back, because I bet our friends would be worrying about us." Fluttershy got up from her comfortable spot and stretched like a cat. She then quickly looked around the room, to make sure all the windows were closed, or locked. She saw a particularly big mound of candycanes on the windowsill. She went over to it, and grabbed one. She licked it, and gasped. "What's wrong Fluttershy?" Amethyst said, a bit confused to why there was probably 21 candy canes in total on a windowsill. "This tastes like coffee and lemon!" Fluttershy jumped giddily. "Eww, that combination sounds a bit gross." Amethyst made a face. "Oh. I know that, but this is a humongous sign!" She said as she licked the candy cane once again. "A humongous sign for what?" Amethyst hesitantly grabbed one of the candy canes that had pink and blue on it. "The real Discord is back!!! He made weird candy cane combinations back at home!" Fluttershy was practically bouncing, like she was on an invisible trampoline. "Oh!" Amethyst said in realization. She licked hers, but hers tasted like ocean water and dead flowers. Yuck. Fluttershy was a good ways down, before she bumped into the creature she meant to search for. Without him even looking at her, she leaped up and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Discord then hugged Fluttershy back. She also gasped at what Discord held out. He was holding a little bracelet with her ring on it, and he was tearing up with joy. Fluttershy started crying, because she never saw him cry. She then hugged him once more, and put the necklace on herself. On the 21st day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, 21 candy canes, 20:17, .19 carat ring, 18 cheatful love letters, 17 notepad pages, 16 winter snowflakes, 15 snowdigos, 14 sorrow, filled tears, 13 Flutter dreams, 12 muffins a making, 11 mittens, 10 signs of symptoms, 9 hooves of snow, 8 lookout ponies, 7 snowmare figures, 6 games, ponies play, 5 carrot cake, cookies, 4 heating blankets, 3 windigos, 2 Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet! Author's Note Screw it... I'm tired, I'm lazy. This chapter was for Goldenchaos (sorta) and I also watched a movie yesterday and today, so that's why I'm late. Well, enjoy!!!
