Previous ChapterNext Chapter

After the events of the former day had finally passed and things settled back down to their usual. However, today was going to be a day that both Fluttershy and Malakai would remember for their lives. And will be the starting point for something big to come.

The day started with Malakai wandering around Ponyville. He wasn’t doing anything in particular...just making sure that every single mailbox he came across grew legs and walked away. And that every window was completely fogged up, and no matter how much the ponies would clean it, it all came back. Oh and don’t forget the tiny little gnome wives chasing the husbands around with rolling pins and getting into dust cloud fights with slapstick comedy sounds. He had to keep the ponies on their hooves after all he has plenty of new material every day.

After a bunch of yelling and complaining of displeased ponies, he shut everything down…..after six hours. He chuckled to himself as he walked to Twilight’s home and walked in. She looked at him with a rather unamused look as the floor had been covered with books from the shelves due to the gnome attacks that flew through. He stifles a laugh and grins widely as he walks up to her. He was more amused than she was for sure. He hops onto the table and crouches in front of her, resting his arms on his thighs as he keeps his big toothy grin.

“Aawww, what happened here Twily? Did the gnomes ruin ALL your hard work of reshelving and such? That’s too bad. If only I had stopped them sooner~.”

She grumbles and puffed her cheeks at him, making a rather adorable angry face at him. He couldn’t help but smile and places a hand on her head. He pets her and begins to baby talk to her, knowing it would spite her, he even appears with an old man disguise.

“Wittle Twi is upset. Would the little pony like a piece of candy to cheer her up?”

He asked as he held out a cherry flavored lollipop, wiggling it in front of her face. She huffs and slaps the candy away from his hand. She clearly didn’t find him funny at all.

“Malakai...you better fix this mess that you made. Now. I finished this project after hours of concentration, and you reduce it to ruin in minutes!”

She shouted the last part at him as she threw her arms up in anger. Malakai disappeared and reappeared normally, lounging on a near by couch and kicking his feet up comfortably. He takes his cell phone out and begins to play some random game on it.

“I am not a fan of being ordered around Twi. Now if you said a certain magical word at the end of that request. I just might be inclined to fix this all for you. Sooooo~?”

Twilight grumbles a few times and crosses her arms in the process.

“What’s that? I can’t hear you~.”

“Please pick the books up and put them on the shelves!”

She exclaimed as she threw her arms in the air again. Malakai tossed his phone to the side, a small explosion could be heard off in the corner of the room. He stands up and stretches.

“Seeee? That wasn’t so hard now was it?”

He snaps his fingers, the books reappearing on the shelves in perfect position. Twilight lets out a sigh of relief and annoyance. Though she looks at the ‘Mystery’ section of the books and sees that...all the books have been turned into the shelving with the pages facing out. Malakai seems to have left a note that read ‘Now they really are mystery stories!’ Twilight growls and shouts as loud as she could in anger.

“MALAKAI!!!!”

He could hear her on the outskirts of Ponyville, all the birds flying from their spots on the trees made it all the more amusing. He couldn’t help but fall to the ground laughing. That is until he got the best idea ever. He looks over into a random direction and grins wickedly.

“Hey author, I am taking control of your hands at the moment…”

(Wait...what are you`?! I can’t….!)

Malakai writes up a little letter, that same grin on his face the whole time.

Dear Sunbutt,

I hope this letter finds you well. However, I have something I need to point out. Have you been eating too much cake again? That lovely plot of yours has definitely increased in size. better be careful. You will garner the wrong attention like that~.

Your Favorite Lord Of Chaos,

Malakai

PS: Wha-pish.

He chuckles and sends the letter off to Celestia with a snap of his fingers. He then looks into the same direction as before again.

“Alright, you can have control back!”

(Malakai, you know not what you are getting yourself into…)

Celestia receives the letter and reads through. She lets out a grumble of annoyance and finally gets down to the last part of the letter.

“Wha-pish…?”

Suddenly two long leather whips sprout from the page and reach around quickly, slapping across her soft full rear, leaving large red marks on both her cheeks. She lets out an audible loud girly yelp and jumps forward. The letter and whips disappearing just as quickly as they came. Malakai heard another shout of his name. The voice full of seething rage as it echoed through the land

“MALAKAI!!!”

The man fell to the ground laughing like a damn fool, holding his stomach as he rolled about. Fluttershy was walking towards Malakai when she saw him on the ground laughing. She had no idea why he was laughing so hard, but it made her happy to see such a happy expression on his face. She walked over to him and kneeled next to him, leaning over to make sure he was alright. Malakai opens his eyes to see Fluttershy’s beautiful cyan blue gaze staring down at him. He smiles warmly and lays there with his hands at his side.

“Hey there Shy. Good to see you as always.”

The mare looked like she had something she wanted to ask him, something important. He noticed this and sat up and turned to look at her. He places his hand on his legs, ready to listen intently.

“You have something you wish to tell me, Shy? Is everything alright?”

Fluttershy Was fidgeting with her hands and averting her gaze away from him. She lets out a slight whimper and gazes from behind her mane back up to him. It was abso-fucking-lutely adorable when she looked at him like that.

“You...didn’t forget today-...tonight did you…?”

“Uuuuh...what were we doing tonight again…?”

Fluttershy was about to tear up, but Malakai smiled and shook his head.

“Come on Shy. You think I'd really forget something as important as this? Of course, I remember. And I got to say, I am very excited. Never really been on a date before.”

She frowned at him but then smiled. She should have expected that from him. But she didn’t care. She was going to go on a date with somepony-...someone she really really liked. And one of those reasons was because he wasn’t a pony. She loved how different he was. Both inside and out. This event was planned during that time they spent on the balcony while the wedding party was going on. Fluttershy had mustered up the courage to ask him on a date which surprised Malakai very much. Especially with Fluttershy’s she nature. He accepted of course, but still.

“I will be there around seven-thirty tonight, that way we can get to the spot just before the sun fully sets.”

She nodded a few times, the mare was so excited she could hardly contain her joy. This was her first real date as well. As beautiful and sweet as she was, she always denied stallions that tried to advance on her. They always seem to just want her body instead of wanting her. But She could see that Malakai enjoyed being with her because of her. And she loved being with him.

“Be sure to bring that extra blankets and pillows...we are staying there after all.”

“Well of course. I will make sure we will have a comfy stay by the river. I wonder what delicious food you will have for us-....uh oh…”

Malakai quickly wraps Fluttershy in his arms and squeezes firmly. She was surprised at this but nuzzled into him before they disappeared. Just in time for a large golden beam to destroy the ground, leaving behind a smoking crater. A very pissed off Celestia glaring down at the ground.

“I am going to get you…!”

She said in a low growly tone of voice.Malakai reappeared inside of Fluttershy’s home with her wrapped in his arms. He releases her with a sigh of relief and smiles to her, the slightly taller mare looking down at him with a few blinks.

“What...was that about?”

He shakes his head with a chuckle.

“Oh, nothing...just somepony getting upset over a little prank I pulled. Anyways, I am going to go and get ready. I will return here soon. Can’t wait to see you again tonight Shy.”

She nodded in agreement with a big smile on her face, she was excited for this evening as well.

“I will be waiting.”

She said in her usual calm tone, hiding her excitement under it all. When he disappears, however, she bounces on her hooves and giggles like a schoolfilly. She felt like the happiest mare in all of Equestria. She fretted over what to cook for them, what she should wear, things that she had never got to worry over before Malakai came along, and it made her happy. This was going to be the best night of the pegasus mare’s life.

--That Evening--

Malakai walked along the path that leads to where they were meeting. Once she was in view, Malakai nearly dropped the items he had under his arm when he saw what she was wearing. A very form-fitting green turtleneck sweater that hugged her in all the right spots, and a pair of blue shorts that stopped right at her upper thighs. She was currently dressed for comfort, And that’s how he liked it. She didn’t need to wear anything fancy to please him. In fact, he preferred it this way. He gives a wide grin and walks over to her, When she spots him, her tail begins to sway behind him excitedly as he approached.

“There you are~.”

She said as she bounced towards him, but when she felt his gaze trail up and down her form, a heavy blush formed across her features. Malakai chuckled and looped an arm around her free one.

“Yes, Shy. You look absolutely beautiful. Then again, no matter what you wear, you are lovely to look at.”

“I-I was going to ask…”

She said trying to hide the fact that she really wouldn’t have. Malakai knew better, However, but he didn’t mind it. He just smiled and held her close against himself and smiled

“Well, I went ahead and answered. Shall we get going then?”

She nodded and they began their walk to their destination. The way there was quiet and they just enjoyed each other’s company. Once they made it to their spot, Malakai sat up the blankets and pillows for them while Fluttershy sat up p their plates and food. They ate and chatted afterward. They spoke about small talk stuff. What their day was like, what they did. The usual stuff. But, it had gotten to the more serious discussion once Fluttershy settles in his lap with her back resting against his chest. She leans her head back against him and sighs lightly.

“Malakai…?”

“Hmm? What’s up Shy?”

“Do you ever miss home? Like, where you came from?And if you could, would you ever return there?”

He thought about it for a moment, then answered.

“Well, I mean, if i didn’t have a purpose in this world, something tells me that I’d have no choice but to return home. Not that I am saying that will happen. But I do have a duty to uphold. But, if I was given a choice, chaos lord or not. I’d...rather stay here….with you.”

He tightened his embrace around her at the last part, nuzzling into her shoulder. She blushes heavily at his words, but the smile on her muzzle was clear as day when he said it to her.

“I remember when I first came here I wasn’t very sure about this whole thing. But then I met you and the girls. Then everypony else. And I gotta say. I’d give up all the chaotic power in the world if it meant I could stay here forever...especially with you. I really really like you, Shy. You sweet and gentle nature is something I have always wanted in someone special. But back in my world, females like that were hard to come by. But here I am with you, on a date. I am definitely the luckiest human alive right now. I guess what I am trying to say is...I hope we can get together like this often.”

Fluttershy’s heart was melting, and quickly. She had never expected those words to come from him. And she knew that he was sincere about them..

“Malakai...I am so happy you said that. Because I never ever want you to go. You may be the lord of chaos. But you are very dear to me. And if you ever did leave, I’d be very sad to see you go. But from what I had just heard, I can put those worries to rest. I like you for you….because you are different, because of your unconventional thinking...and the fact that you are a bit….eccentric. And even though you hide it from others but me, you are a sweetheart.”

“I like all your friends, Shy. I want you to know that. I know i give them a hard time. It’s just how I am. But you are special to me. And you will always be. I just never thought the being I’d be getting so close to was a beautiful, curvy pegasus mare. Funny how the world works huh?”

They both giggle at that and snuggle up closer to each other. Eventually, Fluttershy falls asleep in Malakai’s arms, him following shortly after as he places a blanket over them both. Yes, this relationship was just the start of their lives together. And other events would soon follow. For other forces had different plans for this to-be couple.
