It was a warm sunny afternoon in the Crystal Empire. Fillies and colts were playing in the streets. Dogs were barking, birds were chirping, flowers were blooming. It was perfect. Fluttershy walked through the park looking for Discord. After going around the entire park Fluttershy still hadn't found him. Where is he? she thought. Did he not think I was coming? Is he in a different form? While Fluttershy asked herself where he could be, she felt somepony tapping her on the shoulder. She turned around, but nopony was there. She felt a tap on the other shoulder. She giggled to herself and facehoofed for not realizing it earlier. She looked up and saw Discord on a tree branch above her. "Discord! I was looking for you for 30 minutes!"

"Sorry if I startled you Fluttershy. You know how I do things,"

"It's alright, I'm fine. How are you?"

"Fantastic, as long as you're here," Discord mentally slapped himself for that. Why did I say that?! That sounds so stupid! What if she realizes I like her and stops talking to me?! He shook his head and snapped himself back to the present. He had done all that thinking in about 2 and a half seconds so Fluttershy had just started talking.

"Oh Discord, you're so funny," Fluttershy giggled. Discord was so romantic in his own way. He had the most original and charming compliments. "Anyway, why did you invite me here?"

"Well, I decided since it was such a lovely day, we should have a picnic here," Discord smiled. That was only part of the reason. He simply wanted to talk to her. Plus, he loved being around her. If he couldn't tell her how he felt then it was at least nice to be around her. "But the beauty of this day cannot even compare to yours," Discord mentally slapped himself again. Come on Discord, play it cool! Fluttershy blushed. On the outside, she looked a little embarrassed but inside she was screaming. Oh my gosh! Does Discord think I'm pretty?! AHH! "Ummm,"

"Can we pretend I never said that?"

"Yeah,"

The tension in the air was thick. Neither of them said anything. This was much to Discord's dismay as he hated quiet. As if on cue, Starlight and Trixie walked by. Starlight had heard the entire conversation and knew she needed to intervene. She pointed it out to Trixie and she gave her a suggestion. Starlight nodded and cast a spell. "What did you do?" asked Trixie.

"They'll forget about anything awkward that happened until their picnic is over," answered Starlight.

Fluttershy and Discord began to talk again and acted like nothing ever happened. Starlight smiled. Maybe they would tell each other after all.
