Author's Note

Okay, so this chapter takes place at the same time as Fluttershy's thoughts in the previous chapter but from Discord's perspective. Also please note this chapter has been edited a lot.

Realization part 2

As soon as Fluttershy left Discord sighed. Why did I make those comments? he thought. She probably caught on and thinks I'm crazy! Well, crazier. And why were the stars in a heart shape? I swear if Luna did this! Wait, how did she know? Was she watching my dreams or something? Discord felt chills go down his spine as he remembered his dreams about Fluttershy. It wasn't hard seeing as she was all he could think about these days. It was possible he moved the stars into a heart shape without even knowing it. Chaos magic worked differently than other magic. It didn't use spells or concentration. It was fueled by thought and emotion. If he just thought about something, it would happen. Maybe he was so lost in her eyes that he didn't notice he was using magic. Maybe he should talk to somepony about this.

Meanwhile in the Crystal Palace,

Cadence finally sat down after a long day. Shining was busy spying on Twilight when she had gone on her first date so she had to watch Flurry Heart by herself. When Flurry Heart was finally asleep and Cadence just sat down, a bright light flashed in the room and Discord appeared. "What is it Discord?" she grumbled. The last thing she needed was the spirit of chaos bugging her when she was trying to rest.

"Well you certainly seemed nicer the last time we met,"

"You try governing a kingdom and raising an alicorn foal at the same time," she snapped.

"Oh right, you have a foal now. How's that going?"

"Could be better. Anyway, why are you here?"

"Well, you see I need," Discord gulped, "relationship advice." Cadence's eyes sparkled.

"Let me guess, this is about Fluttershy?"

"How did you know?"

Cadence smirked. "I'm the princess of love, I notice these things. Plus my aunt told me about your dreams."

"WHAT?!" he yelled. "Sorry about that. I'm fine. Look the point is, I want to tell Fluttershy how I feel but can't!"

"Well, why don't you tell her in your own way?"

"And how would I do that?"

"Let me ask you something Discord, why do you like Fluttershy?"

"Well she's, understanding, caring, pretty, she has a sweet laugh, a beautiful singing voice, and well, she gave me a second chance, "

"When did you start liking her?"

"Well, when she wrote a letter to me for the first time and I went to her house, it happened."

"I see. Well, why don't you tell her everything you like about her doing something you like to do together?"

"That's a great idea! How did I not think of that earlier?!" Cadence smiled wearily.

"That's great, you're welcome, goodbye."

"Oh and, one more thing, tell Moonbutt to stop watching my dreams." Cadence laughed a bit.

"I will. Now please leave," Cadence said with a twinge of annoyance in her voice.

"Sheesh. Fine. Later, Lovebutt." Cadence blinked.

"Wait, what did you call me?" Discord was walking through a portal to his dimension when Cadence froze him in place with her magic.

"Oh, um nothing," Discord said while laughing nervously. He tried to walk away but Cadence's grip on his tail was too strong. He looked at her eyes. They were filled with fury. "What have I done?" said Discord fearfully. Eventually, Cadence let go and Discord practically leaped through the portal. He sighed, Cadence's advice, while good, wasn't very helpful now that he thought about it. No matter what, every time he tried to tell her, he would chicken out. Discord sighed. He knew he needed to tell somepony who could understand what he was feeling. Somepony normal, who had flaws. Not Lovebutt or Sunbutt. An idea popped into his head. He knew who to ask.

Starlight was getting ready to go to bed when she felt somepony tap her on the shoulder. She spun around and saw that it was Discord. "Discord what are you doing! It's the middle of the night!"

"And yet you're awake," he replied with a smirk.

"Whatever. Why are you even here?"

"I wanted to ask you about something."

"Okay. Shoot."

"What would you do if say, you had a crush on somepony and you think they might not like you back and that somepony else already likes them and they may already like somepony and you want to tell them you like them but you can't because you're too scared?" Discord took a large breath.

"This is about Fluttershy isn't it."

"How did you know?"

"It's kinda obvious. When the changeling incident happened, all you seemed to care about was saving Fluttershy." Discord thought about that time. He had made it rather obvious.

"Oh no."

"What?"

"I was obvious about my feelings for Fluttershy and now, Trixie knows about it. I gotta go!" Discord dissapeared leaving Starlight bewildered. She giggled. This would turn out crazier than she thought.
