Chapter One:View OnlineJoy and LoveChapter One:Discord looked down at his wife's beautiful face, it smiled at him, he smiled back, his face ablaze with love, Fluttershy and Discord had only been married for two months, but they have been blissful and love-filled months, they have never been happier. Fluttershy snuggled her face into his chest, his brown fur was soft and warm, she sighed as Discord coiled his body around her, wanting to keep her warm, he then buried his face into her mane and inhaled her scent, his breathing tickled her, she let out a small giggle.The aroma of her hair intoxicated him, he purred, the noise startled Fluttershy, she looked up, and before she could react, he held her head and pulled her into a kiss, she then gave in after a second, Discord played with a claw full of her mane, he twirled it between his talons, and combed through it, eventually Fluttershy pulled away, and cuddled against Discord, he pulled her closer into an embrace, "I love you so much," he said softly "I love you too," she said giving him a soft kiss on his cheek, she then buried her face into his fur once again, Discord gently rested his head on top of hers gently, fell asleep. Discord dreamed about the usual things, Fluttershy, pranks, Fluttershy, chaos, getting rid of Angel, Fluttershy, he dreamt about Fluttershy about ninety-seven percent of the time, Luna smiled as she watched Discord kiss Fluttershy on the cheek, deep within his dreams, she walked out and yawned, it was HER turn to sleep, she didn't feel like flying back to her bedroom so she laid down on a soft cloud, and levitated it toward her bedroom window, she walked inside, and collapsed onto her bed. A brown unicorn stallion walked down the alleyway, he had a white mane and tail, he had dark blue eyes and had four emeralds for a cutie mark, he was levitating a basket full of oranges he didn't like walking down a shabby looking place like this, especially at this time of night, he nervously walked forward, he heard a noise behind him that made him jump, he turned his head to what was behind him in alarm, it was only an empty can, rolling down the alley,he left out a breath of relief, he swaggered forward, thinking he was fine, when he saw something in front of him that hadn't been there before, it just looked like an old pony with a cloak, who was breathing heavily. "Very sorry, heh heh, you came out of nowhere," he said nervously the figure was silent until a horse voice said softly "Is he friend, or is he foe, the pony wonders" the stallion looked absolutely confused, what on EARTH was he talking about? "I can assure you, I am no friend,....." a hand came out from under the cloak and clenched into a fist. "I am lord Tirek," a stream of blue magic erupted from the stallion's horn, much the pony's horror "And I will take what should have been mine long ago", soon the unicorn fell, and his eyes turned gray, the stranger grew two times its size, then he laughed menacingly while his yellow eyes flashed through the darkness. Luna awoke with a gasp, it was HIM, but how? the blue alicorn ran towards Celestia's room and put an ear against the doors, then she heard Celestia let out a gasp of horror Luna slammed the chamber's doors wide open "Sister, are you alright?" Celestia groaned, "I've just had the most TERRIBLE dream!!!" "Why do you think I'm here?" asked Luna sternly but politely "You know as well as I that this was not a dream, but a VISON" Celestia got out of bed in a flash "Then we haven't much time," she said frantically "The Stronger HE becomes," they both walked towards the window, "The more we are ALL in danger" The elements of Harmony sat in their seats on the train, they were traveling to a jungle, that was told to be ethereal "So,.....Flutters, what makes this jungle so SPECIAL again?" asked Rainbow "Oh, Treehugger told me about it, it was the one where the AURA was" the others oohed, except for twilight, who was giddy "I can't wait to STUDY it!!! I've never seen an aura before, but I've read all about them, I so EXCITED to see what KIND of aura it'll BE" she exclaimed, Rainbow rolled her eyes "We're actually very LUCKY," said Fluttershy "We're all one of the very few ponies who can actually SEE auras, thanks to our special sensing abilities" "Well as long as the waterfall is BEAUTIFUL, I'll be willing to actually WALK through all that-" Rarity shuddered "Nature" "Ah can't wait ta see how ripe th' apples there are," said Applejack "AND I'M JUST EXCITED ABOUT EVERYTHING," said Pinkie enthusiastically "And Discord actually let us and YOU go without HIM?" asked Rainbow to Fluttershy, surprised "I admit, it wasn't easy, but I talked to him a bit, and well, now I'm here" she replied "How in Equestria did ya CONVINCE him?" asked Applejack "Let's just say that it required makeup and direct eye contact" Rarity's eyes widened "Did you actually?!" Fluttershy nodded "Darling,....that's very BOLD of you," "It was the only way," Fluttershy sighed, Fluttershy raised a hoof towards the corner of her mouth "Just between me and you all, he's very clingy" the girls laughed, Fluttershy of course, joined in. Author's Note TA-DA!!!, the first episode of "Joy and Love" hope you enjoyed, and I know I'm getting the seasons mixed up, but this is an alternate universe, I can do whatever I want
Chapter Two:View OnlineJoy and LoveChapter Two:The friends finally got off the train and grabbed their things, they found a great place to set up camp, they unpacked their things, Rarity, as usual, had her own little motel that she loves to stay in. When Fluttershy unpacked, Fireworks shot into the air, the sparks floated down to Fluttershy and spelled out "I love you" Fluttershy face hoofed herself, she then turned her bag upside down and shook it, several big kisses literally rained down on her, including an extra lunch, dinner, and breakfast, and a carrot cake, which, not surprisingly landed right side up, Fluttershy blushed "Well, SOMEpony certainly has a DOTING draconequus at home" giggled Rarity "Rarity, please" groaned the pegasus, soon the other finished setting up camp, and set off. "So, THIS jungle has an AURA?" asked Rainbow "Yes, at least that's what Treehugger said" "Can't argue with THAT" said Pinkie they then came across a cave, to the others surprise, Fluttershy trotted in, the others followed her when they got inside they gasped "Oh my Celestia" gasped Rarity "Isn't it beautiful?" asked Fluttershy "But we haven't seen the waterfall yet" they others followed Fluttershy until they reached their destination "Fluttershy,...this is,....BEAUTIFUL" "I know, Oh look, the aura!" exclaimed Fluttershy, pointing at a rainbow silhouette of a doe, the others gasped, suddenly a crystal fell into the hooves of the yellow pegasus "YOU GOT A CRYSTAL" exclaimed Rarity "I know, Treehugger told me that when a crystal falls into your hooves, it means somepony's thinking of you" the others went "AWWW" except for Rainbow, who knew that this "Somepony" was Discord, Twilight took a picture and they set off, to go back to their base through the jungle "THAT WAS AWESOME!" said Rainbow "Yes, not only that but Treezy told me, that this jungle is Full of surprises" said Fluttershy "Like this one!" exclaimed a voice Fluttershy looked forward, Discord swung out on a branch, hanging upside down, grabbed Fluttershy's head, and kissed her, letting out a huge "mwah" at the end Rainbow gagged "D-Discord, wh-why are you here?" asked Fluttershy, blushing "Oh, please my dear," said Discord getting down "It'll take a LOT more than batting your eyes and using sweet talk to keep me from YOU" Fluttershy, although rather flustered, giggled "DISCORD, this was supposed to be a "Girls Only" thing" scolded Twilight "Well, how long do you think I could go without the love of my life?" he asked pulling Fluttershy to his side "Whatever," said Rainbow, suddenly Twilight got a letter "Whats it say Twi?" asked Applejack "It says, I'M NEEDED AT CANTERLOT AT ONCE" Twilight got her stuff and teleported to Canterlot the others got their stuff and left, Pinkie stayed for a while "Well, I think I'm going to go see M.D.P" "Uh,...who is that again?" asked Fluttershy "Maudilina Dasiy Pie, you know, MY SISTER" Pinkie then trotted off Discord then teleported Fluttershy and himself home.
Chapter Three:View OnlineJoy and LoveChapter Three:Twilight ran through the halls when she bumped into something,.....or somePONY. "Oh, I'm sorry I just-FLASH?!" "Oh,...hey your highness," he said rubbing the back of his neck "Oh, you can call me TWILIGHT, it's what my friends call me, so since YOUR my friend, or-" Flash laughed and waved a hoof dismissively "I get the point Twilight laughed nervously while she blushed "Of course you do" "So,.....I guess I'll see you around,....Twilight" "Yeah, I guess," she said, Flash walked backward and knocked over a suit of armor "Oops," said Flash laughing while his cheeks turned red, he was obviously embarrassed, Twilight giggled loudly, she walked backward and turned around, but she bumped into the wall "Oh, RIGHT, that's the wall, not the CORRIDOR" she then blushed while Flash laughed, she laughed with him as they both turned the corner. "TWILIGHT, THANK CELESTIA YOUR HERE," said Cadence running towards the purple alicorn "Hmm?OH Right, let's go!!!" they both ran towards the throne room, Celestia opened a book "Twilight, Tirek has returned," she said, knowing that Tirek was in only ONE book, she read to Twilight; "Tirek and his brother Scorpion came here from a distant land, intent on stealing equestrian magic, but Scorpion soon came to appreciate the ways of Equestria, even befriending a young unicorn wizard" Luna continued "Scorpion urged his brother to abandon their plans.When Tirek Refused, Scorpion alerted us to Tirek's intentions" Clestia nodded and finished the passage "Scorpion returned to his own land, and Tirek was sent to Tartarus for his crimes, but it appears that Tirek has found a way to escape" "We believe it happened when the Cerberus left his post at the gates" said Luna Twilight was confused "But that was a long time ago, why is just NOW starting to steal magic? Celestia trotted around Twilight "His time in Tartarus had left him very weak, he has just NOW gained enough strength to use his dark powers" "But with each passing moment, he grows stronger STILL," said Luna Cadence gave Twilight a smile "And I know JUST the princess who can stop him" Twilight nodded importantly "Yes, I'll find him and-" "No Twilight" interrupted Celestia "I'm afraid I must send in another to stop Tirek" Celestia frowned "Discord" the other three princesses gasped "Sister, Thou cannot be serious right? Surely The princess of FRIENDSHIP can-" "I'm sorry sister, Usually I WOULD put Twilight up for this task, but Discord is more useful at the moment when Tirek steals magic, Discord will know" "But,.....What about Twilight?" asked Cadence Celestia walked over to Twilight "Twilight will warn the citizens of Equestria" "Yes, Princess," said Twilight walking out the door, hanging her head. "As in "DISCORD" Discord?" asked Applejack "Yes," said Twilight "I don't think it's THAT big of a surprise, he can be very helpful," said Fluttershy "In fact, I think I'll go tell him now" she then trotted off "Discord can sense when there's a magical imbalance when Tirek steals magic, Discord can track him down," said Twilight "So, what will YOU be doing in the meantime?" asked Rainbow "Warning the citizens of Equestria" sighed Twilight "Well, I think we should help"said Rainbow, the others nodded "Thanks girls," said Twilight, cheering up a bit, the girls followed her to the homes of Ponyville Author's Note Crap, I really need to start making my chapters longer
Chapter Four:View OnlineJoy and LoveChapter Four:Tirek stole magic from yet another pony, he grew stronger, then he saw a gray unicorn stallion, with a black mane, and tornado cutie mark, and a blue horn, he seemed too busy to notice Tirek, so he quietly walked up behind him, when suddenly the head revealed a familiar face. "Tirek, I presume?" asked the pony Tirek squinted, he couldn't believe it. "Discord,....you're free?" Discord transformed into a bird on a post "As a bird," he said, then he started cleaning his wing with his beak Tirek gave a bow "I commend you on your escape" Discord transformed back to normal, then glared at Tirek "I'm afraid the feeling isn't mutual" he snapped his fingers, a pair of handcuffs appeared around Tirek's wrists, angry, Tirek shot a blast at Discord's head, but it missed, due to Discord splitting his head in half, it then came back together. "Oh I should've known you would want Equestria all to yourself," said Tirek glaring at Discord Discord was in a police uniform, twirling a baton, he tossed it into the air as he smiled at Tirek "Oh I'm not doing this for me, I'm doing it for my friends" Discord, out of the uniform went closer to Tirek and put a paw next to the corner of his mouth "Just between the two of us, it's mostly for Fluttershy" he whispered, his face made a squee noise "Fluttershy?" asked Tirek "You're not saying your friends with, PONIES?" Discord popped out of a cake that would have made Pinkie Pie proud, "SURPRISE" he exclaimed Tirek had some frosting on his cloak, "I AM surprised, the someone with your intellect does not see that this,...'Friendship' is but a new form of imprisonment, clearly, you had to abandon your true nature to stay in their good graces" Discord strummed a harp, he had a halo above his head, and he had long eyelashes, he blinked them out of his eyes he tossed the harp aside and folded his arms "I have done NOTHING of the sort!!!" he used his claw to shoo away the halo "Oh please," said Tirek "I've seen this before, but he was always weak-minded" he muttered the last part Tirek walked closer to Discord "You are DISCORD, you are LEGEND, YOU can't fall into the same trap that fooled my brother, help me grow strong and I'll give you something more valuable than, FRIENDSHIP" "FREEDOM" whispered Tirek Discord's pupils dilated "Once I strip these ponies of their magic, nothing would give me greater pleasure than to see their world turned upside down" Tirek stretched his hands forward "Who better to do so than the master of chaos HIMSELF?" Discord thought for a while "Join me Discord, and RECLAIM your greatness, unless of course 'Pony errand boy' is the role you always wanted to play in this world?" Tirek stretched out his hand as though he was waiting for him to shake it, for a while Discord did nothing, then he reached for Tirek's hand, it was moving closer..... suddenly Discord moved it out of Tirek's reach "SIKE" he exclaimed then he started laughing Tirek looked confused "Oh PLEASE, did you really think, that I would join YOU?!" Discord folded his arms "ESPECIALLY when I have somepony SPECIAL at home? Shame on you" Discord floated near Tirek "As you can see" Discord showed Tirek a glance of his ring Tirek's eyes widened "And who would this,......be?" "Oh if you could see her" sighed Discord dreamily "She's kind, smart, Ethereal, and she's the element of kindness" "The element of kindness? From what I've heard, she's,.....a coward" Discord stopped and stood completely stiff, his pupils narrowed "What did you just say?" "Oh try and pretend it's not true, I mean who would waste all their time with woodland creatures, and I don't understand why she gets so stressed over the smallest things, surely you would agree to the fact that she's a wimpy pony?" Discord got on all fours, and circled Tirek like a wild animal, "I wouldn't talk about her that way if I were you" "What would you do to me? I say whatever I please, face it Discord, you've gone just as soft as that stupid pony" Discord let out a deafening roar as he made an attempt to claw at Tirek's face , but Tirek made him snap the handcuffs in half, then Tirek fled Discord's eye's widened "Crud" he thought
Chapter Six:View OnlineJoy and LoveChapter Six:Fluttershy was sitting on the bed in her bedroom, she was knitting, Angel looked closer at her tummy Angel squeaked a question Fluttershy giggled "Yes Angel, I'm going to have a baby" Angel then smiled a bit and shook his head, then squeaked something "Angel, I don't care if you hope it's a boy, I'll love the baby, anyway it'll be" Angel rolled his eyes and hopped away Fluttershy sighed, she was secretly worried, what if she wouldn't be a good mother? what if she had the baby accidentally get hurt? She didn't know what to do. Discord's mind wandered to and fro, he needed to catch Tirek, but how? The centaur already knew his weakness, so what could he do? Discord groaned as an idea struck him, it was humiliating, but it was worth a shot. "A BOOK?!" Exclaimed Twilight excitedly she clomped her hooves on the ground as she let out a squeal of delight "Yes, yes, yes," said Discord, his face cringing "I have PLENTY of books!!!" said Twilight trotting up to one of the shelves "It's fun to read a book, but it's, even MORE, fun to SHARE them with others!!! Let's see, here's a book about powerful spells, OOHH the one on page 135 is my FAVORITE, it can restore memory, strength, EVEN MAGIC, no matter what state they're in, it works on ANY type of creature!!! Isn't reading so magical?" she sighed the last part dreamily Discord wasn't listening, he was diving into section by section, hoping to find some information on Tirek, trying to find out if he had a weakness as well as he did, but all he found out so far was how much Twilight was an egghead, if books were edible, Twilight would NEVER ever starve. "You know what, I think I have to go" Discord snapped his fingers and Disappeared, Twilight looked around, she let out a groan of frustration. A pair of Yellow eyes watched the gazebo from afar, "Just you wait Discord,...Your not as strong as you think you are" Author's Note Sorry, I ran out of ideas, I'm sorry for the short chapter, but I hope you enjoyed
Chapter Seven:View OnlineJoy and LoveChapter Seven:Discord Snapped his fingers, the mane six appeared, looking confused "Discord? What's going on?" asked Twilight "THIS IS WHAT'S GOING ON!!!" Shouted Discord, shoving Fluttershy's ring in her face, the other's gasped in horror "Is that,....blood on her ring?" asked Rainbow shakily "Yes, Tirek did it" "WHAT?! we thought you said you got him!" shouted Rainbow "I LIED! I didn't want Fluttershy to worry!" "YOU BIG-" Rainbow shouted until Twilight came between them "STOP IT!!! THIS ISN'T HELPING FLUTTERSHY!!!" No one said anything until Discord said "I need to save her" he was about to snap his fingers when Rainbow stopped him "Hey, if your going, then so are WE" "No, it's MY fault, I need to save her, and I need to do it alone" "But she's OUR FRIEND" "SHE'S MY WIFE, I NEED TO SAVE HER, I CAN'T LET YOU COME" Discord then snapped his fingers and disappeared Discord appeared, close to Tirek's dark lair, he walked forward, remembering a memory of him and Fluttershy *Flashback* "Fluttershy,..are you sure your happy? Are you sure you want to marry me?" Fluttershy took his paw in her hooves "Discord, you have no idea" she then began to sing while upbeat music started out of nowhere "I still hear your voice when you sleep next to me I still feel your touch in my dreams Forgive me my weakness, but I don't know why Without you it's hard to survive" Fluttershy looked him in the eyes "Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling And every time we kiss I swear I could fly Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last Need you by my side" Fluttershy hovered in front of him, a smile on her face "Cause every time we touch, I feel the static And every time we kiss I reach for the sky Can't you hear my heart beat so I can't let you go Want you in my life" Fluttershy looked at her engagement ring smiling, she looked up at Discord "Your arms are my castle, your heart is my sky They wipe away tears that I cry The good and the bad times we've been through them all You make me rise when I fall" Fluttershy took his paw and claw in her hooves "Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling And every time we kiss I swear I could fly Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last Need you by my side" Fluttershy smiled at Discord again "Cause every time we touch, I feel the static And every time we kiss I reach for the sky Can't you hear my heart beat so I can't let you go Want you in my life.Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling And every time we kiss I swear I could fly Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last Need you by my side" Suddenly Discord found himself already at Tirek's lair, he then saw five sets of hoofprints on the ground "Oh no" he whispered
Chapter Nine:View OnlineJoy and LoveChapter Nine:Fluttershy´s eyes fluttered open, her mind blank for a moment until she remembered everything.he saw her friends passed out on the ground. "Girls, wake up!!!" "Ugh, what HAPPENED?!" groaned Rainbow "I have such a HEADACHE" said Rarity groggily "Phew, mah head feels more riled up than-a-group-of-turkeys-and-chickens-with-a-mixed-up-peckin'-order" Fluttershy tapped Pinkie on the shoulder "CRACKERS" she exclaimed, the others looked at her "What?" "Where ARE we?" asked Twilight "It doesn´t matter" said Fluttershy "We need to get to Discord" "But HOW?" asked Rainbow "We don´t have magic, we can´t fly, and we have limited strength" "I don´t CARE" snapped Fluttershy "I HAVE to get to him," "Well, if yer goin´ so are we" said Applejack getting to her hooves "Thank you, I´ll need all the help I can get" The ponies stood up and walked forward, Fluttershy leading in the front.a few hours later, the mane six were tired, they hadn´t walked this far before. "I´m going to the-Spa- after this," panted Rarity suddenly Rainbow ran up to the front. "GUYS, Pinkie´s on the ground" Twilight ran towards her friend "Pinkie? can you hear me?!" "Need....Cupcake" she said weakly "She collapsed from hunger," Twilight said "And so will we if we don´t find food" Fluttershy held her face in her hooves "I know" she sighed "And I´m sorry but, I don´t know what to do" "Wait a cotton-pickin minute, Ah think ah see an APPLE tree up ahead" exclaimed Applejack the others ran forward, there was indeed an apple tree, Applejack hit the tree with her hind legs and got six apples, the others dug in except for Fluttershy, she wouldn´t eat, sleep or stop until she got to Discord. "Sugar cube, ya NEED to eat, ya need your strength" "I have Plenty of strength, I´ll be fine" "Fluttershy it´s for yer own good, at LEAST take a couple of bites" "I SAID I´M FINE A.J, NOW STOP IT, YOUR PEEVING ME OFF" The others gasped at her Fluttershy sighed again "I´m sorry for my language, but...I just...." Fluttershy felt her warm tears stream down her cold cheeks, the others embraced her. "We know you´re scared Fluttershy, and we don´t blame you, we´re scared too, but as long as we have hope, we can pull through, just hang in there," said Twilight Fluttershy wiped her tears away and stood up "Thank you, thank you all, I don´t know what I would do without you," "Enough with the mush Flutters, we need to get going" said Rainbow, albeit she had an encouraging smile.
Chapter Ten:View OnlineJoy and LoveChapter Ten:Fluttershy walked forward, the others behind her, Rainbow was still trying to fly, but she always fell with a thud “Ugh, Rainbow, give it up already, ya can´t fly,“ said Applejack “Shut up A.J I´m one of the best flyers in all of Equestria, I might just be able to do it“ “Well, Ah´m sorry, but Ah don´t see the point in doing somethin' that´s impossible“ “Will you two Stop bickering?“ asked Rarity “We´re on a rescue mission“ “We´re HERE,“ said Fluttershy, as she stood in front of Tirek´s castle, Fluttershy entered inside, with a heart of a great lion, though her knees felt like those of a frightened kitten.She tiptoed through the halls, the others copying her movements until they saw a cage, it contained Discord, Fluttershy ran towards it “Discord, It´s me Fluttershy, are you alright?“ Discord didn´t speak, it seemed like he couldn´t “Discord, please, say something“ “I´m afraid he can´t,“ said a voice behind her, she turned around, and not to her surprise, it was Tirek, he had an evil grin upon his face. "W-What do you mean?" stuttered Fluttershy "Well, first I stripped him of his magic, then I thought, why not torture him?" Indeed he had, Discord was battered and bruised, he had a few scratches and he was missing his fang. "Oh but that´s not all, His immortality is no longer, he can hardly remember a thing, soon he won´t remember anything, I took his ability to speak and for good measures, he might even die within the next hour" Discord looked at Fluttershy, he made a sad purring noise as he looked away, Fluttershy was terrified “You-you MONSTER!!!" "I think you and I both know who the true monster is here," said Tirek gesturing to Discord Fluttershy felt great anger "HE'S NOT A MONSTER, YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS" Tirek chuckled "I already have“ "FACE IT Tirek, without Discord's magic, you're NOTHING, you're NOTHING without our magic either, Face it, you're SCARED, You know that Equestria's more powerful then you'd EVER be, so you steal our magic to make you STRONGER," Said Fluttershy angrily,Tirek then grabbed her and looked her in the eyes, Fluttershy's courage faltered "Talk to me like that again, and you'll wind up dead too" Fluttershy was then dropped onto the ground Tirek then left, but they knew he was heading for Ponyville "We're goners" exclaimed Rainbow "There's no way in EQUESTRIA he can be stopped" cried Rarity "He's after the princess's magic!!!" exclaimed Fluttershy "He already has it" said Twilight, the others stared at her "It's all my fault...When I was with the princesses, they gave me their magic to keep safe...I let them down...I let EVERPONY down" The others didn't know what to do, suddenly Twilight gasped, "OF COURSE" She then Tried to use what magic she had left, to summon an object, but what would she summon at a time like this? she astonishingly summoned a blue flower, a rubber chicken, a Wonderbolt pin, a spool of rainbow thread, a bit, and a triangle-shaped medallion, "How are THESE gonna save us?" Snapped Rainbow "Wait a minute, this is the Flower the Breezies gave me," said Fluttershy "And THIS is th' bit Silver Shill gave meh," said Applejack "This is the spool I got from Coco Pommel" exclaimed Rarity "This is the pin the Wonderbolts gave me before I became one of them," said Rainbow "And Boneless is the rubber chicken I got from Cheese Sandwich," said Pinkie "But what's that Twilight?" asked Fluttershy "This is a medallion that Discord gave me when I helped him with a problem, I can't remember very well at the moment, but that doesn't matter, we need to go to the tree of harmony" "Whatever FOR Darling?" asked Rarity "You'll see, c'mon" "No, I can't leave Discord" she said standing by Discord's cage Suddenly she felt something hold her hoof, she turned around and saw Discord, He gave her hoof a squeeze, he had a pleading look in his eyes that seemed to be screaming "I'll be fine, just go, for Equestria's sake" she sighed, Alright, let's go" the others hesitated for a while but they soon followed Twilight. Author's Note Yeah, I know I pretty much got the seasons mixed up but this is an AU story, I can do what I want

"There's going to be a prince or princess born soon!" the others looked confused "But how?" asked Twilight "None of the princesses other than Cadence have foals" Fluttershy giggled "I know, but isn't there a pony who's married to a certain lord?" the others looked confused for a second, until Rarity, Rainbow, and Pinkie gasped "DARLING!!!Are you....?"asked Rarity "Having a....?" asked Rainbow "BABY?!" asked Pinkie excitedly Fluttershy nodded with joyful tears in her eyes "Yes, I'm having a foal" the girls squealed and surrounded Fluttershy with an enormous bear hug, but were careful around her tummy "WE'RE GOING TO BE AUNTS" exclaimed Pinkie "Have you told Discord yet?" asked Twilight "No, but I will,.....soon," said Fluttershy "Now careful, I don't want the baby to get crowded" The girls eventually got off, still smiling, suddenly Discord appeared out of nowhere, he looked frantic, once he Saw Fluttershy, he let out a sigh of relief "Hello dear, it's good to see you," he said panting "Back already?" asked Fluttershy "Yep, captured Tirek, he's back in Tartarus, everything is fine" "Good,....." Discord looked at Fluttershy, she had an enormous smile on her face "What's with the grin?" he asked Fluttershy giggled "I'll tell you another time," she said "Hey Discord, do you know where foals come from?" asked Rainbow "Yes,....why?" "No reason," said Rainbow frowning "I hate you" whispered Rainbow hoofing over the bits to Pinkie "Well, I would love to stay with you all, but I have to go see if,.......I accidently turned the paths to lard in Canterlot" he quickly snapped his fingers and disappeared. "RUDE, just sayin" said rainbow Fluttershy rolled her eyes "Wait, if Discord's the dad, then will the baby have chaotic magic TOO?" asked Pinkie, the other's eyes widened "I,.....I-I hadn't thought of that," said Fluttershy "Me neither" admitted Twilight, embarrassedly "Ah'd say it would be a hoof full," said Applejack "No kidding, one baby ALICORN in the crystal empire was one thing, but a part Pony and part DRACONEQUUS in PONYVILLE?!" said Rainbow "My my,.....well, Discord might not have a problem with it, in fact, I'd say that if it's true, Discord would be the proudest creature in Equestria," said Rarity "Well,....I guess it would be a bit of a hoof full, but I'm sure me, and Discord can handle it" said Fluttershy confidently "For your sake,..." Twilight began "AND OURS,..." added Rainbow "Let's hope your right" finished Twilight "Well, I can't wait to be an AUNTIE," said Pinkie "Neither can we Pinks, neither can we," said Applejack smiling
Chapter Seven:View OnlineJoy and LoveChapter Seven:Fluttershy jolted awake from her sleep, she had a terrible nightmare, she looked around her room, she saw that the windows were open, she went up and shut them, then she heard something, she squeaked in fright, she grabbed a flashlight and went downstairs to investigate, she tiptoed quietly throughout the rooms, she heard something again, she turned around, she saw a tall shadow, she instantly knew the shape "Discord?" the shadow beckoned her to follow, she walked out the door, she had a chilling feeling as she stepped out into the cold night as she followed the shadow.Suddenly the shadow shifted, Fluttershy turned around, and let out a bloodcurdling scream. Discord's sense's tinged with danger, his eyes dilated, it was coming from Fluttershy's cottage. "Oh no,..." he has never snapped his fingers more quickly in his life, as he appeared in the cottage, he looked around, he then saw the door was open, he went outside, then stopped abruptly, and looked down, he saw some buttercream pegasus feather's, a few lotus pink strands of hair, and much to his horror, a diamond ring was on the ground, and was slightly stained with red, Discord Roared into the night, he knew the culprit, now he was ready for revenge he then noticed a note on the ground "Dear Discord, guess who? It's Tirek, I've captured the one pony you care most about, Fluttershy, you know, she truly is a pretty little thing, a shame to see her go to waste....but who cares?I certainly don't, she's such a crybaby, it took me hours to shut the Pegasus up!!!and by the way, I stole her flight, she can't escape, I wonder why you even fell for her in the first place, I might even decide to kill her, that should be fun, but don't worry, I'll save her wings for you,..however, if you want her back, come to my lair and we can negotiate, I can't believe how soft you've gone, I never thought you would stoop so low as to care about her, could your dignity sink any lower? anyway try to save your beloved, if you can" Discord burnt the note with his bare hands, he was filled with anger and nothing more, He had done it now.
Chapter EightView OnlineJoy and LoveChapter EightDiscord rushed into the lair, it was dark, Discord didn't recognize the location, but he was determined to get his angel back, and this time, her friends as well.The corridors seemed to go on and on forever, until Discord found a door.He quietly opened it, he walking inside, then he felt like an idiot, why was he doing all this walking when he could snap his fingers?Then again, it was quieter.He tiptoed, then he saw the cage up ahead!!! he was about to step forward when a cruel laugh echoed in the halls, he knew that laugh, he cringed.The hall lit up, there were two cages, one had the five mares, and another had Fluttershy, Tirek stepped out from the shadows. "Well...I'd thought you'd never come Discord, yet here you are, only ten minutes late" Discord's face burned with fury "What have you done to them?" "Them?" asked Tirek raising an eyebrow, "I thought you only cared about your precious pegasus" "What do you know about caring about somepony? Sure Fluttershy is the world to me, but her friends are my friends as well, I wouldn't have gotten this far without them" Tirek Chuckled"Amusing, but I'm afraid it won't get you anywhere, soon, your friend's magic will be mine, and Fluttershy will be gone" Discord Rammed himself at Tirek, who just knocked him on his back "It's too late for that tactic, Your friends along with your wife are as good as dead" suddenly Tirek had a terrible idea, an idea that only a heart and brain of pure evil could have schemed. "Unless..." Discord's ear perked up "Unless what?" he spat "You were to take their place, only then will I let them live, and since I'm feeling a bit generous, I'll even give them a bit of strength, but they won't be able to use magic or fly, either that, or have them accept the terrible fate of death" Discord hesitated, he knew what Tirek would do to him if he accepted, and he just COULDN'T give him the satisfaction of knowing that he feebly surrendered, but then he saw Fluttershy, her mane was in tangles, her wings were stiff, and she had a small scratch on her forehead...he hurt her, he then saw the one thing that made him snap, the soft tears that ran down her face, he closed his eyes in shame. "Let her and the others go....I'll take their place" Tirek cackled and released the ponies, Discord snapped his fingers and made them disappear from sight, Tirek grabbed Discord by the neck. "Now it's your turn" Discord felt the magic in him slip from his grip, he felt great pain and he felt half of his life force drain from him, then he dropped to the ground, helpless as a lamb to the slaughter.
