A Bark Of Chaos

Fluttershy was gently waiting outside with her friends pacing nervously. She to like Discord was thinking bad thoughts about what might happen to Marshmallow.

"You know, it would make sense if she had a broken leg or something. He did throw her across Equestria." Rainbow suddenly interrupted the silence.

"Rainbow! Don't say things like that! You know this is Discord's first pet and he didn't know what was right from wrong since he never really had anypony to teach him! You should be ashamed of yourself for saying that!" Fluttershy laid it on Rainbow before putting her hooves to her mouth. "O-Oh..I-I'm sorry..I..Didn't realize how rude I suddenly got.." Fluttershy apologized just as she heard the doors to the animal hospital open.

"Discord? Is she-" But just as she asked, Discord zoomed by running on all fours. He blew Fluttershy's mane in her face as he started running straight for Ponyville Lake.

"Where's he goin' in such a hurry?" Applejack asked.

"Lets find out." Twilight said as she began galloping for Ponyville Lake as well as the rest of her friends following her.

As soon as Discord got there, he lied down on the ground and covered his face letting out small cries of both despair and sorrow. It was not long though when he heard the sounds of a group galloping and get even closer to him. He removed his paws from his face as he looked elsewhere to make sure nopony would see him crying.

"Discord?..Are you okay?" Fluttershy asked softly, slowly approaching him as the others stood off at a fair distance. However, he didn't respond. "Are you upset about Marshmallow? Did something happen to her?" Fluttershy asked again as she slowly sat behind Discord. "...She has cancer." Discord spoke in a low mumbled voice.

Fluttershy let out a gasp. "That's terrible! Oh I'm so sorry Discord." Fluttershy lowered her ears now as she placed her hoof on Discord's back.

"Don't be. It's not your fault."

"Your right. Its nopony's fault. Not even yours. You didn't do it. I didn't even know Marshmallow was that way before I gave her to you. I found her all alone as a stray so I thought you would be able to give her a good home." Fluttershy reassured him, giving him a nuzzle. Suddenly Discord turned around and embraced the small yellow pegasus.

"T-Thank you..T-Thank you f-for giving her t..to me." Discord said trying not to cry. Fluttershy smiled and returned the hug to him.

"I guess all we have to do is wait for her now. I'm sure she'll be fine." Fluttershy replied, letting him go. As soon as Discord was ready, they all walked together as a group back.
