A True Family
Chapter Two: A New Face
Previous ChapterNext ChapterScrewball stood on a stool, trying to reach where Discord hid the Cotton Candy. She could summon some on her own, if she had listened a bit more to Discord's lessons.
"Screwball?"
Screwball let out a gasp as she turned around. Discord was staring down at her, but to her surprise, he didn't look angry.
"D-Discord,...I-I'm sorry,...I just couldn't sleep,...s-so I decided that Cotton Candy would help." She said, giving him a sheepish smile.
"And why were you having trouble sleeping?" asked Discord. "Do you need sleeping pills?
"N-No, I-I've just been thinking a lot about things lately."
Discord sat at the table.
"So is this the work, the playtime, or the mom thing?" He asked.
Screwball's face flushed with shock and embarrassment.
"Y-YOU HEARD THAT?" she exclaimed.
"Well, I am concerned with each of you children so, yes, I did hear."
"I-I'm sorry." said Screwball.
"No, I understand," said Discord, looking a bit guilty. "I know you kids want more playtime, and having another would make things a lot easier but, having a wife isn't an option."
"What's a wife?" asked Screwball.
"It's just another term for "mom"." He explained.
Screwball smiled.
"Then I want a "wife" Discord!!! I want a pretty "Wife"!!! "
Discord banged his head on the table.
"Screwball, go to bed, it's three o'clock in the morning, I'm too tired to deal with this right now."
A young Pegasus sat outside a lovely little cottage at the edge of the Everfree forest, she was holding a snow white rabbit, as she stared out at the forest in front of her.
This mare was actually quite a sight, she had a buttercream coat, a long light pink mane, and dazzling teal eyes. She was also a shy mare, but despite being shy, she was also very kind, her name was Fluttershy.
"Angel,...today is the day I'm facing my fear." She said, talking to the rabbit.
Angel's ears perked up.
Fluttershy nodded, she had been planning this for a while, and now, she was finally going to do it. She put him down on the ground.
"Wish me luck," she said as she made her way to the Everfree forest.
Fluttershy trotted through the forest carefully. Suddenly, after walking for what seemed like hours, she came across a tree, standing tall in her way. Fluttershy sighed in relief.
"Time to go home." She thought to herself, then she thought she heard something behind her. She turned around, but the path she took remained empty. She walked backwards slowly, then the next thing she knew she fell into something that seemed like a cross between a tunnel and a slide.
Discord walked down the corridor from the classroom inside the castle, he sighed to himself.
"Finally, got through the day, those kids have way too much energy, and why did Button mash want to do crafts?" He said to himself aloud.
Discord eventually got the glue off his paw and claw and snapped his fingers to get rid of the mess all over him. Suddenly he heard a noise from the walls.
"Huh?"
Discord made an opening, and to his surprise, it was a spare room.
"Strange," he thought "Maybe it was Applebloom, hanging from the lights again?"
Suddenly a small rock fell on his nose.
"Ow!" He cried.
He rubbed his muzzle, then something buttercream, Lotus and teal-colored hung upside down from the ceiling.
"Huh?"
"Hmm?" Said the thing, they then saw one another.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The thing fell from the ceiling, crashing onto the floor. Discord then saw upon a closer look that it wasn't an object, but it was a.....pony?
"Brilliant, Fluttershy," sighed a soft voice. "Grab onto the ceiling when you could have flown bravely down, how intelligent."
"What the?-who are?-what were you even doing?" Exclaimed Discord.
Fluttershy then looked up at Discord, and quickly stood up.
"O-Oh, I'm so sorry," she said apologetically. "I just fell down this tube in the forest, and I ended up in the vents and I just-"
Fluttershy then noticed the glare on his face, she decided to try to keep things friendly.
"Anyways, my name's Fluttershy, what's yours?" She asked holding out her hoof.
"I don't do hoof shakes, nor will I share that information with you," he said sharply.
"Is it because you're shy like me?" She asked.
Discord turned around and let out a groan.
"FORGET IT! Coming here was a BIG mistake." He looked behind him "And I never should have-" Discord raised an eyebrow.
"You're not going to follow me?" He asked.
"Why would I? You must have a good reason to leave," said Fluttershy.
Discord looked at her for a moment, then left the room.
Discord was about to drink his daily Chocolate milk when he heard a voice inside his head,
"Is it because you're shy like me?"
Discord ignored it and drank it down.
"Why would I? You must have a good reason to leave."
Discord groaned, but kept drinking.
"My name's Fluttershy, what's yours?"
Discord couldn't take it anymore.
"Ugh, her stupid voice is so annoying, I can't even drink my CHOCOLATE MILK in peace!!!"
Discord then took a deep breath and walked out of the room.
"Hello," said Fluttershy as she walked by Discord.
"Hey." Replied Discord, until he stopped in shock.
"Fluttershy?!"
He turned around and saw Fluttershy in the living room.
"I thought you said you weren't following me!!!" He scolded.
"I didn't, I just wandered around a bit." said Fluttershy kindly.
Discord was about to reply with something nasty when somehow a butterfly flew by. Discord had no idea how it got in here, but it caught Fluttershy's attention. She jumped backward into Discord.
Discord blushed, the pegasus' back was against his chest, her tail hung loosely over his legs, and he could feel her mane under his chin. It was so.......soft. Then her voice brought him back to reality.
"OH MY GOODNESS, A BUTTERFLY!!!" She exclaimed happily.
Discord shoved her off.
"Great....now leave, just because your lost doesn't mean your welcome here."
Discord grabbed her by the arm. "The door changes places, so stay in that room until you find your way out, and pretend we never met okay?"
Discord pulled her to the room, suddenly Applebloom passed by.
"Hello." said Fluttershy as she passed her.
"Hmm? oh, howdy." said Applebloom.
"Gonna watch some T.V with Sweetie and-"
That's when it hit her like a brick.
"Wait WHAT?!"
