The tranquil morning trot through the woods had started off like any other. Peaceful with her listening to birds chirp and talking to her many furry friends.
Though it took an unexpected turn when she accidentally discovered the creature in front of her.
At first, she was frightened. Right there was none other than one of the defeated Storm King's minions. While most had fled upon his defeat or stuck around to seek forgiveness......She guessed this one was most likely hurt in the battle.
His fur was damp and matted, his body was far too skinny for someone his size should be, and it looked like he had been there for a good while.
She hesitated to do anything at first. I mean this was an enemy. Someone that could do her harm. But after some more thinking.....She relented and talked one of her bear friends into helping her take the strange creature back to her cottage. Once there, she cleaned him to the best of her abilities and healed whatever wounds she could.
Which lead to the present. Said creature was now laying on the couch with a VERY angry bunny staring at him. All her other animals were too scared to go anywhere near him. Said bunny tapped his foot against the ground and gave the Pegasus a scowl before pointing a paw at him.
"Now, now. That's no way to treat our guest. It's not his fault he was hurt." She carefully balanced a bowl of salad on her head before trotting over and expertly tilting her head down to slide it on the coffee table. "Besides, I couldn't just leave him out there to starve or really hurt. It just didn't seem right."
The rabbit shook his head and made a few squeaks while waving his arms frantically.
She gasped. "Angel! That wasn't a nice thing to say." He made more chittering sounds. "Yes. I know he worked for the mean king, but he was still hurt."
She reached out a hoof gently pat said slumbering creature but froze when he lurched away. Angel squeaked before hopping away in terror.
She stayed frozen as two blue eyes opened and looked directly at her. Neither moved a muscle as they continued having this staring contest.
She slowly smiled and put her hoof back down. "U-Um....-" She trotted a few steps back. The creature following her every move. "H-Hi," she said barely over a whisper," You feeling better?"
In an instant, the creature made a loud noise of some sort and lunged. She let out a squeal as two arms suddenly latched onto her and pulled her against a furry chest. At first, she froze in fright but soon calmed herself and tried to squirm free.
Which didn't work out too well. She was suddenly held out and saw....his eyes crinkled up in a smile. She was pulled into another hug before she was able to squeeze out of his grip with a flap of her wings and hovered a little ways from him.
"Um....Thank you for not hurting me. Uh...." Her eyes quickly darted to the bowl. She quickly picked it up before holding it out to him. "Are you hungry?"
Instead of answering, he waved a hand and pointed at himself.
"Um.....I don't understand."
He then pointed to himself again before balling his fist and putting it to one of his eyes in a crying motion. She paused for a moment......but slowly a look of realization came over her.
".....Are you the one that was really upset?"
He gave a happy grunt and nodded vigerously
She smiled. "Oh! It's you!" She giggled and smiled wider. "You poor thing here." She held the bowl out to him. "You're soo thin. You need to eat something."
He leaned over to sniff at it before grabbing it suddenly and forcing his face into it. She watched startled as he devoured the contents within the bowl. When he finished, he held it out to her and gave a thrum.
She blinked. "Oh. You want more?" He nodded. "Oh. Ok. I'll be right back." She grabbed the bowl before flying off.
-About Three Bowls Later-
He happily laid on the couch thrumming in content. The shy Pegasus smiled at him.
"There you go. All better."
He purred.
"Um....I hope you don't mind me asking. But how did you get so hurt?"
The creature paused before pointing at himself.
"You?" His hand held up two fingers. "Two words?" He then hit the floor two times before holding up one finger. "First word. Two syllables." He made a wave motion. "......Water?" He grunted in approval before then raising his hand and making it go down.
"Um....Watered down? Down stream? Under water?" He shook his head."........Waterfall?"
He gave a grunt and pointed at her.
".....You fell down a waterfall!?"
That would explain why he was found on the riverbank. Last time she saw him was at Celestia's castle, and there was a rather large water fall under it. How he survived that fall and how he fell she'd never know.
"Oh my goodness! You poor thing! I'm glad you're ok."
He gave off a thrum.
"What's your name?"
He paused for a moment before reaching down and dragging one of his nails across the coffee table. She stared startled but soon realized he scratched a word into it.
"......Blue? Is that your name?"
He nodded and she smiled.
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Blue. I'm Fluttershy."
He gave a happy thrum and reached out to grab her again. Only to gently hold her against his chest in a hug. She only smiled and looked up at him. His purring and thrumming greatly reminded her of a giant cat. This storm creature. Or maybe Storm King's Minion? Maybe twilight would know what he is? Right now she just giggled and snuggled closer into his soft fur. But one thought made her freeze.
"Oh dear."
He stopped and looked at her curiously.
"How am I going to explain this to Discord?"
Author's Note
OK! Been wanting to do a Fluttershy x that one Storm Creature from the MLP the Movie. I don't know his actually name, so for this I'll call him Blue. All mentioned characters belongs to Hasbro &Co.
How long had it been since she last saw her friend? About six maybe seven months? But that was ok. He usually went off to do his own thing in his own dimension. More so now since he had a marefriend.
But, she didn't expect anything less of him. After all, this WAS the spirit of chaos and disharmony. But, he always managed to find time for his friends.
Which lead to now.
Dark blue eyes watched the yellow pony run to and fro. Confused, he grunted and pointed at her in question. She only ran into the kitchen.
"I'm afraid I can't stop right now. Discord could arrive any moment," she shouted from the kitchen.
A moment later, she returned expertly balancing a tray upon her head. The smell of freshly baked cookies hit him and made him give off a thrum. She carefully walked over to the coffee table before tilting her head down and sliding the tray onto it and looked up at him.
"Did you make sure you looked nice?"
He grunted and motioned up and down at himself.
"Good. First impressions are always important. I just hope Discord doesn't do anything to make you uncomfortable." She paused for a moment, but looked back at him with a smile. "But, don't worry. Discord may look and act strange, but he's actually very nice once you get to know him."
The creature made a noise and continued to watch the hurrying Pegasus.
"My goodness. I'm running so behind. He could show up any-"
A loud banging noise from the door got their attention.
"......Moment."
Startled from the noise, he silently watched her carefully walk over to it. What confused him though was that it wasn't the front door she walked to. It was the closet door. Another series of bangs came from it.
She stopped a little ways from it. "Uh......The door's unlocked."
There was a pause before the door suddenly flung open and a blur whooshed out of it. With an 'EEP!', she was snatched into the air and held out like a proud mother would their filly.
"Why HELLO my dear little Fluttershy!," a loud voice boomed out, "It's been too long since I saw these kind eyes." A paw gently squished her cheeks together.
He however watched stunned and silent from the couch. Right there floating in mid air was the strangest looking creature he'd ever seen. Even though he was facing away from him, he could see the strange horse like head and weird antlers. This being's body was like someone bred a sea serpent with a chimera and then glued some other parts from other animals onto him.
He, or Discord as Fluttershy always called him, was still babbling and coddling her until she managed to pull away.
"Discord. There's someone I want you to meet."
"Oh, really? And WHO might it be this time? Hmm. Griffin? Breezie? Another hippie?"
"No. Him." She pointed a hoof behind them.
Discord turned right around and both froze as red and yellow eyes met dark blue ones. Fluttershy happily flew over near his head.
"Discord. I'd like you to meet Blue. Blue, this is the friend I told you about."
Both flinched when the spirit suddenly zoomed within inches of his face. His expression unreadable beyond possibly curious(?).
"Hmmm." She scanned him slowly. "........You look awfully familiar. Did Fluttershy reform you too?" And eagle like hand tapped his chin. ".....Oh! I know! You must be a new pet. Good. About time you moved on from that white devil you call Angel."
He heard her sigh. "No, Discord. Blue is a Storm Creature. You saw some at the Friendship Party a few months ago."
Discord paused for a moment. "......Oh! You mean those blue lion creatures. Of course. You must've reformed one, eh?"
"Um......Not exactly. Well....I guess in a way. But, Blue isn't here because I'm reforming him. He's a friend that needed a home."
The spirit smiled before floating across from them. Snapping his.....lion paw(?) a flash of light appeared and he was sitting in some weird throne.
"Oh. A new roommate. Well, why didn't you say so? I have a few interdimensional creatures that share my space.....Oh! Cookies."
The Pegasus smiled. "Mmm hmm. Chocolate chip. Your favorite."
Discord smiled before reaching over and grabbing it. Tossing it up and opening his mouth up enough for it to go straight down his throat. He reached for another but paused and hummed.
"......What's wrong?"
"Oh. Nothing much. It's just that you usually serve tea with these."
"Oh, no! I forgot all about that! I'm so sorry. I'll be right back," she promised.
With a flap of her wings, she zoomed from the small room and back into the kitchen. Blue watched her go.
"Now then....." Blue flinched back when he found him inches from him again. "What say we have a friendly chat, hmm?" Blue leaned back. "As you ARE staying with dear Fluttershy, I must give you a fair warning. As a former villan myself, I know how hard Fluttershy takes it when someone betrays her trust. I don't expect any trouble from you, but know that I AM going to keep a VERY close eye on you.....We understand each other?"
Blue nodded frantically making the spirit smile in satisfaction.
"Good." He leaned back just as the Pegasus came back in with a tray in her hooves.
"Sorry I didn't have time to heat up any. I hope ice tea will work."
They spent a couple hours eating and chatting about life. Discord flashing Blue a knowing smile every few minutes or so.
"-and that's how he came to live here with me."
"Hmm. Interesting." His lion paw combed through his goat like beard.
She hummed in agreement before holding up a pitcher. "More tea?"
He held up an eagle claw. "No,no. I really must get going. You know how peaceful Twilight gets whenever I don't bug her."
She giggled. "Don't make her too stressed. It's bad for her health."
With a snap of his fingers, a flash of light appeared and the throne disappeared. The spirit stretched his body out and gave them a smile.
"It was a nice evening. Let's do this again sometime."
"But bring Twilight. I'm sure she'd love to meet Blue."
"I'll be sure to do that. I know I enjoyed our little meeting." He flashed a fanged grin.
Blue froze as he chuckled and raised a paw.
"I really must be going. Chao."
With another snap of his fingers, the being vanished without a trace.
Smiling she turned to him. "See? Wasn't he nice? He's not scary at all."
He remained frozen, not talking. Making her confused.
"Um.....Are you alright?''
