A Butterfly Over Chaosby PetalledChaptersChapter 1: DenialChapter 2: Zecora's AdviceChapter 3: JealousyChapter 4: HeartbrokenChapter 1: DenialIn the Grand Galloping Gala, Fluttershy had invited her friend Tree Hugger as her plus one. On the other hoof, Discord felt jealous and was misunderstood that he thought Fluttershy had ditched him for having a new friend. So for him to top that off, he invited his friend as well, called the Snooze. He never fully cared about him but his feelings for Fluttershy. It seemed like the plan of him making Fluttershy jealous didn't work out as she was so distracted by her new friend. When Discord tried to impress her, he did a comedian show in front of everypony but unfortunately, no one found him funny. They all found Pinkie Pie's sister, Maud, that made fun of him, funny. Meanwhile, while Discord was getting angry at everypony laughing at Maud instead of him, a little colt found green liquid slime underneath a door. He was scared that his legs were shivering. Until, Twilight turned around and let everypony know that there is slime coming out of the door. It attempted to make the whole of the ballroom flooded with slime. No one, not even the princess could handle the ooze as it enveloped her horn. The only pony that could stop the ooze from being insane was a green earth pony with pinkish-reddish mane. Her name was Tree Hugger. She used her calming, rhythmical humming noises to calm him down. Discord felt even more angry and so dragged her to another alternate dimension. Fluttershy's friends tried all they can to stop him once and for all, but Discord rolled a disco ball on the ground for the ooze to follow it and drag her friends along. Fluttershy was mad at Discord. ''I don't understand why you are doing this, we were all getting along so well,'' she said. Discord replied, ''as well as we could, considering you already stopped all of our friendship by inviting her to the biggest night of the year! It's as if I didn't matter at all!'' ''Did you really think I'd abandon you just because I have a new friend!'' ''Yes!'' he yelled. ''Because that's what you did.'' ''No, Discord! I invited a friend to a party, I didn't abandon you. What if you had a friend that you could discuss chaos base magic with, will that mean we aren't friends anymore?'' He waffled. ''No, I suppose not. It just means that I have different friends for different things.'' He gabbled. ''Oh... Oh... Dear, it looks like that I perhaps just overreacted for just a scourge.'' ''More like a lot of scourges!'' She turns to Tree Hugger. ''Tree Hugger, could you give us a minute?'' She nods her head gently at her. ''I'm just so new at this whole friendship thing. It's so much more complicated than it looks,'' said Discord. ''Do you think you owe somepony an apology?'' Discord sprouts a flower in his paw for her. Fluttershy tosses it away and says, ''not me!'' He gambled over words. ''Oh, well, uh, uh, yes, right...'' He clears his throat. He snaps his claws to make the portal vanish away and drop Tree Hugger on a pillow on the ground, then vanishing it away as she lands on it. Fluttershy flies over to her to hug her. He also took away the jewels from ooze so he turns back to his average size again and let the Mane Six free. Discord trotted on over to Tree Hugger and Fluttershy to apologize for his wrong doings. As everypony minds their own business again and enjoys the party by talking to their friends, Discord apologises to ooze. After that, he trembles over towards Fluttershy sitting on a table alone as Tree Hugger was talking with the others. ''Fluttershy, I just would like to say...'' ''Discord,'' she replied. ''It's fine. I forgive you already.'' ''No, no, no, no! Not that. I meant I came to confess.'' ''Huh?'' ''I love you, Fluttershy!'' Spike plays with two dolls that looks exactly like Fluttershy and Discord, except with buttoned eyes. He tries to mimic Fluttershy's voice. ''And she said, 'I love you too, Discord.' Mwah! Mwah! Mwah! Mwah!'' He giggles our of enjoyment. ''SPIKE!!! YOU IGNITED THE KITCHEN ON FIRE AGAIN!!!'' Twilight yelled from the castle corridors, next to the kitchen door where smoke is coming out of it and flaming in fire. Damn it. Again? He thought to himself. He quickly ran towards the kitchen to fire extinguish everything and then go back to his... business. He then remembered himself that he has to meet Big Mac and Sugar Belle at Sweet Apple Acres for a grand surprise they are going to be announcing. He wondered what it was but he was patient enough to wait. Few minutes later, he exited out of the castle to travel to Sweet Apple Acres for the big and exciting news. As he reached there, Big Mac and Sugar Belle were just as excited as Spike was to tell the big news. Spike exclaimed, ''so what is the big surprise, you crazy lovebirds.'' He smirked and winked. ''Did you get free ice-cream?'' He drooled over. Big Mac and Sugar Belle both chuckled towards each other and glare back at Spike to smile at him. Sugar Belle was the one who told the big news. ''Big Mac and I are expecting a baby,'' she said with a cheerful smile on her face. Simultaneously, Discord teleported out of nowhere in between the two couple. ''Ooh! What's the surprise?'' He questioned mischievously. Sugar Belle told him the big and exciting news. He teleported himself in a nurses outfit. ''So you two are having dirty nights, am I right?'' he said jokingly. The two lovebirds squinted their eyes at him which made Discord regret saying that, sort of... If you know Discord, he never truly feels regretful or sorrowful. (NOT THE SONG FROM PRINCESS TRIXIE SPARKLE!) Only when it comes to his dear friend, Fluttershy, the love interest of the master of chaos. ''Uhm... Discord, may I ask why you are here?'' asked Spike. ''Well, that's a bit harsh. Why can't I visit my most oldest and my most dearest friends. And I don't know, play Ogre's and Oubliette's,'' said Discord. ''I'm sorry, Discord. But we can't as we are planning a baby shower for the new baby.'' ''But how do you make the baby get showered? He or she is inside her stomach.'' The two ponies and dragon giggled at his words. He scoffed. ''What is so hilarious?'' He placed his eagle claw and lion paw on his snake-like waist. Sugar Belle explained, ''a baby shower is a party held for a woman who is expecting a baby, to which friends and relatives bring gifts for the child. Although, it is typically for the female.'' Discord smoothed out his white goatee. ''A party, aye? Well, you are in luck because I will be making the party go upside down.'' He chuckles while tilting his head upside down. Spike slapped himself on the face with his claw. He remembered Discord has his own true love to worry about. ''No need, Discord. Besides, don't you have Fluttershy to worry about?'' he asked. ''Oh, Fluttershy is fine I can assure you with that.'' He puts his forehead touching Spike's forehead. ''So can I help? Please...?'' He whined. Big Mac whispers to Spike in his ear to tell Discord to tell them a good story he has experienced before so they can secretly walk away as he blabs on. And it worked. ''How about you tell us a story that you have experienced before,'' Spike asked. Discord starts telling a story. As he shuts his eyes while blabbering on, the other three secretly walked away from him to get ready for the baby shower. He opened his eyes and was unamused. ''Well, that was quite rude of them to just walk away. I suppose it was their way of leaving me behind.'' He then soars to the sky and finds a rainbow maned pegasus resting on a comfortable, luxurious and delectable cloud. ''HI, DASHIE!'' he yelled. ''HOW ARE YOU DOING ON THIS DELECTABLE DAY?'' She wakes up from her nap and yawns. ''Discord?'' She said with one eye opened. ''What are you doing here?'' ''Have you seen Fluttershy anywhere?'' he asked mischievously. ''Fluttershy...? No, I haven't seen her anywhere. Why?'' ''No reason.'' He took off and dive right into the clouds. He lands on the ground in Ponyville and see a familiar blue unicorn walking by with a pink unicorn. He comes forward towards them and greets them by teleporting in between them and picking them up to hug them. ''Oh,'' Starlight Glimmer responded. ''Hey there, Discord! Long time no see,'' she greeted while almost getting squished to pieces. ''PUT ME DOWN, YOU RASCAL!'' Trixie unpleasantly shouted. ''Rascal? Well, see that I won't invite you to the baby shower.'' ''Why I... Wait, baby shower?'' ''Of course.'' He says out loud that the whole of Ponyville shakes and hear him. ''BIG MAC AND SUGAR BELLE ARE HAVING A BABY.'' It was even loud that he could echo all across Ponyville. Starlight held a laugh in both of her pink cheeks but she couldn't hold it in much longer so busted out laughing. ''They had...'' She giggled even more, ''DIRTY NIGHTS?'' She laughed even harder. ''EXACTLY WHAT I SAID!'' He took out his paw for Starlight to hoof bump him. ''We have good humour.'' He smirked. ''The Great and Powerful Trixie thinks that the next pair to have a baby is you and Fluttershy.'' Trixie smirked that Starlight Glimmer laughed even louder. ''It's true because we shipped you since the beginning of time,'' said Starlight. Discord was blushing harder than ever. He almost turned as red as a tomato so turned himself into one to hide the red strain on his face. As they stopped laughing, Starlight Glimmer walked away with Trixie to do some paperwork at the school of friendship. Whereas, Discord transformed back to his ordinary self again and teleported off to the Crystal Empire. The Crystal Empire was looking bewitching and enthralling than ever before. The crystal ponies was polishing every bits of the kingdom, especially the crystal heart. It looked lustrous and gleaming. Discord was amused that the crystal ponies did all this for the kingdom. He bumped into a castle guard. An orange pegasus with blue mane and gleaming yellow armour. ''May I help you?'' he asked. ''Of course you can.'' Discord looked directly towards him and realised he looked similiar. ''Hey, I know you.'' ''You do?'' he said raising an eyebrow and smirking slightly nervously. ''Yeah,'' he replied. ''You are that guard who is dating Princess Twilight Sparkle in the human world.'' ''I don't know what you are talking about but that would be a dream to date her,'' he said flatteringly. ''Well,'' he said. ''You are in luck because she likes you too!'' ''No,'' He couldn't believe it. I mean, why would a Princess that was once Princess Celestia's faithful and saved Equestia countless times be attracted to this little pegasus that works as a guard for Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Princess Cadence. He questioned with, ''really?'' ''Yeah!' he exclaimed. ''Now let me in.'' ''Of course,'' he said. ''Master of chaos.'' He bowed his head down so he wouldn't do any disastrous stuff to him. Discord walks into the Crystal Empire even though he knew he could just teleport inside the throne room but he wanted to explore the decorations, shiny walls and hallways. It's not exactly the type of thing he would like as he is more into chaotic stuff but still, he was still amazed at how well the crystal ponies have kept the kingdom. As he reached to the throne room, Princess Cadence was sitting on her throne doing absolutely nothing. Seems a bit boring if you ask me. Anyways, the pink alicorn princess asked him why he was here. It seemed he wanted to let her make everypony know that him and Fluttershy are just friends, even though he knew deep down in his heart, he loved her more than a friend. ''Discord,'' she said. ''I can't do that.'' ''Why? Aren't you the princess of love?'' he asked. ''Yes,'' she responded. ''But I know that you do love her.'' Discord was uncomfortable and embarrassed that his tail rolled into the shape of a heart. His eagle claw and lion paw was shaking as if a ladybug was crawling on top of his mis-matched hands. His goatee rolled up and slammed his horse-like face. He started laughing to seem like he didn't like her. ''Oh, please. Don't tell me you are behind this shipping thing too.'' He started laughing even more. ''What makes you think I'm joking?'' She smirked that made Discord stop laughing. ''I remember when I was in denial of loving a handsome captain of the royal guards. I started foalsitting his little sister to get to know him better more. For you, Discord, I can feel the loving presence for Fluttershy inside of you. I could even feel it inside of Fluttershy but as you already know, she will never tell her true feelings as she is shy and scared you might break her heart and end the friendship but of course she doesn't know that you feel the same way too.'' ''Hold up.'' He snapped his eagle claw to magic up a glass of chocolate milk and spit it out. ''So what you are saying is Fluttershy has a crush on me and I have a crush on her?'' She nodded her head. ''Come on,'' he scoffed. ''I came to you to tell other ponies I only like her as a friend but now you are just filling my head by sprouting crazy stuff.'' Even though there is plenty of chaotic stuff in there. He mumbled to himself. ''Besides, I'm a whole different creature and a beast towards her, whereas she is... graceful.'' He sighed. ''I advise you to just take your time if you are not comfortable yet.'' She then walks out of the door. ''Remember love comes in all forms and personality means everything.'' She slams the door for him to think about it. Meanwhile, Fluttershy walks around through Ponyville with her friend Rarity to go to the spa. They have waited to go to the spa together again for such a long time. Rarity was relieved that her enervating work at her three boutiques was finally finished for the day and could finally take a day off, along with her friend Fluttershy with her animal sanctuary. She didn't have any sick patients today and was all taken care under Dr. Fauna's hoof. When all of a sudden, a long snake-like creature with mis-matched wings, legs, arms and antlers teleported between them and greeted them. ''HELLO! How is my favourite little ponies doing today?'' He hugged them tightly but of course Fluttershy was used to his hugs. Unfortunately, Rarity was not and became angry. ''Put me down right now, you scoundrel.'' Fluttershy ignored her lack of discourteous and greeted him back instead. ''Hey, Discord!'' ''Hey there, my dear Fluttershy. Have you heard about Big Mac's and Sugar Belle's...'' He mumbled and emptied his throat to let out his words. ''Baby.'' ''Oh, yes. It's so wonderful and it's so happy for them to start their own lives peacefully with their love ones. It's amazing how one pony can turn somepony's life around.'' He bickered to himself. ''Yeah, yeah, I would stay for another minute but I have some CHORES to do back at my dimension.'' He teleported up a yellow hairnet for him to wear on his head, along with yellow gloves holding a sponge to scrub the plate he is holding and washing in the sink he just teleported. ''TATA!'' He vanished away off to his chaos dimension estate. She puckered her face, screwed up her eyes, and pensively swayed her head. Rarity called out for her from the spa and went inside. Fluttershy followed her along by fluttering her wings towards the spa and went inside as well. The spa ponies were reading magazines since they had no other customers to give their spa treatments, until Rarity and Fluttershy entered in. One of the spa ponies gasped and greeted. ''Rarity! It's so glad to see you again.'' She hugged her. ''And Fluttershy,'' she hugged the yellow pegasus as well. ''Why, it certainly has been so long since you two have been here together.'' ''Well,'' Rarity responded, ''work at the boutique has been optimistically very busy lately.'' ''Of course, darling. It is one of the most busiest shops in all of Equestia.'' The other spa pony trotted over and asked if they want the same spa treatment as usual. Rarity nodded her head along with Fluttershy. In the steam room, they were spilling hot water between coal to make more steam. Rarity spiced up the mood by asking Fluttershy a question. ''So Fluttershy, how do you feel towards Discord?'' she questioned with a smirk. ''What do you mean by that? He's my friend.'' ''Oh, darling. Cut the Romeo and Juliet rubbish. Admit your feelings about him to me. I won't tell him,'' she smirked at her. They transferred to the station where the ponies do a massage on them and do facemasks. Fluttershy shuttered her teeth nervously. ''I'm telling you, Rarity. We are just friends, what answer do you want from me?'' ''That you have...'' She bounced her eyebrows at her. They exited out of the spa as they got freshened up. ''Darling, you can't hide your feelings about him inside you forever and plus everypony already knows you two have a crush on each other.'' ''What about you and Spike?'' she backfired. ''What about him?'' She slammed her face with her yellow hoof. At Discord's chaos dimension, Discord was scattering around in his estate looking for a way to ask his true love out but also had things on his mind. I am the master of chaos. Why am I so lovey-dovey towards a small, little pony? ''Maybe because that little pony reformed you and touched your heart.'' ''Huh?'' He looked around and saw a Devil Discord on his shoulder. ''If you are not a coward, you would of asked her out long ago. But if you are truly the master of chaos then you wouldn't be falling in love with ponies who are...'' He sighed flirtingy and dreamingly, ''perfect...'' ''Exactly,'' his shoulder devil completed. ''You have gotten soft but then again you still hold horror towards every creature. That pony is nothing but a weak little pegasus.'' ''Hey, don't talk like that about her!'' He stopped and mumbled to himself, ''woah... Where did that come from?'' ''See what she's doing to you! She's giving you a good conscience.'' ''Then what do you suppose I do?'' An angel popped on to Discord's shoulder. ''Ask her out, she's perfect the way she is.'' ''She also gave you a Shoulder Angel!'' Shoulder Devil exclaimed. ''Now listen to me, you old hog. You are going to go out there and show them who is boss.'' Discord declined his request and backfired. ''I don't need any of you, I can do this all alone by myself.'' He vanished them away out of his window. ''Now it is time to pay another visit to Zecora,'' he said in a deep voice. Chapter 2: Zecora's AdviceKnock Knock ''Who is knocking so late? I am coming please wait,'' Zecora said walking up towards the door. As she opened up the door, a creature with mis-matched wings, arms, legs and antlers with a pony-like head was standing in front of her. He greeted her in despite of her mumbling and her tail up towards the back of her black and white striped head. She was confused why he was here until Discord told her he had something bugging in his head lately. She asked for him to sit down directly in front of her on a table. She asked him to continue speaking to get some facts about him and these things inside his head that is bugging him. He responds, ''so as you can see Fluttershy and I are best friends and has the strongest friendship between two creatures in all of Equestia. Nopony but her was able to reform me and offered me her friendship. We got to know each other by having tea parties and our friendship has gotten closer than ever. Ponies tempt to say I have a crush on her but that's not true. So I want you to show them Fluttershy and I are just friends.'' Zecora rubbed her chin to get an idea. She then pops a lightbulb in her head. ''I can see what I can do, with mixing something in my brew.'' Discord raised his thick white eyebrows at her while she stirred up a vision in her brew. It showed him a yellow pegasus hugging a draconequus. He opened up his mouth but closed it again. ''What is this?'' he asked confusingly. ''This is what happens when two becomes one, they create a magic more powerful than a wand,'' she indicated. He said waffling, ''so you are saying our love is more powerful than anything?'' She nodded her head gently which made him burst out laughing. ''You really are a paranoid and insane zebra.'' Zecora flinched her eyebrow at him which made him stop laughing, ''you may be in denial first and scared she may break you but once you open up, things won't become worse.'' He thought to himself by smoothing out his white goatee and finally got to the point. ''Oh, you are good!'' He enthusiastically zooms out of the door and closes it. Zecora cheerfully closes her eyes and chuckles. At Twilight's castle, Spike is lying on his throne, whereas Big Mac is lying on Rainbow Dash's throne doing nothing. They are bored waiting for Discord to enter the world of Ogre's and Oubliette's as it is their first guys night in forever with what all the responsibilities they have had during the years. Spike blew up a feather from his tummy to the air. Big Mac was just sewing up his yoke that he wears around his neck for pulling carts. Spike started up with a conversation to enthusiast the moment. ''I don't think he will ever come play with us tonight as we did ignore him all these years when he needed us.'' ''Ee-yup.'' ''I mean it's not our fault we had responsibilities to do.'' ''Ee-yup.'' ''I mean you have Sugar Belle, I have Rarity... Practically. And Discord, he has no idea on what love is that's why he hasn't yet asked out Fluttershy still.'' Big Mac nodded his head. ''You know,'' Spike sat up on his throne and held the arm bars with his claws. ''I just gotten a genuine idea.'' Big Mac tilted his head. ''How about we hook them up just like how the cutie mark crusaders, Discord and I hooked you and Sugar Belle up.'' Big Mac swayed his head. ''What do you mean no?'' he said. Big Mac finally said something, ''just by that it all became chaotic.'' ''Yeah... But Discord is not in this with us. In fact, we are helping him to ask Fluttershy out.'' Big Mac nodded his head. Spike gasp as he got a lightbulb occur in his head but thought to himself that it wouldn't be such a good idea. Big Mac gasps and whispers to Spike in his ear just in case if Discord manages to hear. Spike nodded his head and repeated yes every time he whispered inside his ear. ''Well, what are you waiting for? Let's go!'' Spike exclaimed. They went inside the Everfree forest and tried to be careful to not run into dangerous creatures. Unfortunately and regrettably, they did. After a few minutes as they entered the forest, they trembled upon timberwolves. They both screamed in terror until Big Mac thought to himself. To make my parents proud, I have to save the two of us from us being eaten and harmed. His parents were killed by timberwolves so rest in peace. ''WHERE IS FLUTTERSHY WHEN YOU NEED HER?'' Spike shouted whilst running away from them with Big Mac until he stopped for a minute. Big Mac confidently stepped in front of the timberwolves, leaving Spike calling out for him to step further away from being killed. The timberwolves breath stank like garlic dipped in ketchup. They drooled spit on top of him and was ready to eat him alive until he bravely kicked them out of it and gave them so many punches. Spike was flabbergasted and mind blown. The timberwolves bodies fell in front of the purple and green scaled dragon. There was blood all over them. Spike's mouth was wide opened and was shocked. He ran over to Big Mac and hugged him. ''You are alright! I mean, you killed them! What? How?'' Spike was speechless. Big Mac smiled and told him to carry on walking to tell him what encouraged him to beat the heck out of those stinky, pony-eating timberwolves. Spike was tearing down when he said his parents deaths by timberwolves had encouraged him. ''Wow,'' he said shockingly. ''Your parents must be so proud up there.'' Big Mac slightly smiled and realised they are finally here at Zecora's hut. They knocked on the door. She opened it and let them in. They explained the whole story and asked for advice on how to get Discord and Fluttershy to be together. She chuckled. ''What a coincidence, he came for the exact same reason from the previous incidence.'' ''So that's where he was an hour ago and why he didn't come to our meeting.'' Spike glared at Big Mac. ''We thought it was because he didn't want to see us for how we ignored him for so many years.'' Big Mac says, ''so you know how to get Fluttershy and Discord together?'' Zecora smiled. ''I don't even have to try but I am part of this tri.'' Spike questioned, ''what is that supposed to mean?'' Zecora sprinkled in some gold dust into her cauldron and stirred up a vision brew. She showed the stallion and dragon the brew. ''How is this possible?'' Spike asked. Big Mac nodded his head at Spike's sentence. Zecora explained, ''falling in love is so easy to do, he fell for her right out of the blue. Hearing her voice and seeing her smile, she stole his heart and he just went wild.'' Big Mac listened carefully to her words and looked down back at the brew. He glared at Zecora again. ''You can't give a straight answer to us, can you?'' Spike yelled out, ''I GOT IT!'' Which made the pony and the zebra question and confused. At Fluttershy's cottage, Fluttershy was in her bed trying to fall asleep but had strange things on her mind about her feelings towards Discord. Her animal friends were there to comfort her on her comfortable, butterfly patterned bed. Do I really love him? What would my friends think about this? Does he feel the same way? She thought to herself and sneaked under her pillow to get away from the thoughts in her head. She stood up and got out of her luxurious bed and fluttered out of her window to head to somepony she could trust. Somepony with good advice. Somepony with unbiased judgement. She travelled across Ponyville to reach to the destination of her friends home, Sweet Apple Acres. She knew that no one would be up in the middle of the night so got an idea in her head. She saw a bucket full of apples next to her and searched for Apple Jack's bedroom window. She banged apples at her window to wake her up and open up the window. Apple Jack's eye widened awake and covered her ears with her pillow to go back to sleep. She could still hear the clutter so stood up from her bed and searched where the noise had came from. She saw from her window that apples were banging on the glass. She opened it and saw a yellow pegasus on the ground with a bucket of apples. She accidently threw an apple beside her and inside her room. ''Oops,'' she said, ''I'm so sorry but can you please come down?'' Apple Jack looked at her clock in her bedroom. ''Fluttershy? What are you doing here in the middle of the night, banging apples at my window?'' ''All will be answered when you come down, meet me at the log near the Everfree forest pronto,'' she fluttered away. What is she up to this time? Apple Jack thought to herself and quietly got her rope from inside her hat and threw it down the window, then tied a knot at the very end of her window sill so she could climb down it silently and not wake her family up. Fluttershy was sitting on the log next to the everfree forest, waiting for Apple Jack to come over. Few minutes later, she came over and asked her why she was needed here. Fluttershy explained, ''promise me to not tell anypony, not even your family. I chose you because Twilight would lecture me, Rarity would overreact, Rainbow Dash would freak out and Pinkie Pie...'' ''Okay, okay, I get it. So what is it you want to me talk about?'' she asked. She sighed and took a deep breath, ''well... So you know how Discord and I have been really close friends ever since I reformed him.'' ''Yeah.'' She took deep breath again, ''I think I caught feelings for him.'' She said as fast as she could. Apple Jack choked. ''I knew you would freak out!'' said Fluttershy. ''This is incredible!'' she exclaimed. ''What?'' ''I have waited so long to hear you say that and so did the others. We all knew ya two have had some chemistry going on.'' She blushed hard. Apple Jack nudged her shoulder and smirked at her. Soon after, Apple Jack asked her a question she knew she would be too embarrassed to answer but unexpectedly, she was not. ''So have ya figured out on how to confess your love towards him?'' ''That's what I wanted to talk to you about, Apple Jack.'' She looked down at the ground to hide her smile. ''I can't keep thinking about him in my sleep and I'm scared that he might end our friendship or he might not feel the same way.'' Apple Jack looked at the Everfree forest and got an idea popping in her head. ''I think I got the perfect idea.'' As they entered through the treacherous Everfree forest, they stumbled over two dead creatures. They were petrified. It smelt even worse than a timberwolves toenail. Okay, maybe because they are timberwolves. Anyways, Apple Jack saw the blood on top of them and wondered if these are the same timberwolves that killed her parents but she denied it straight away as she knew her parents death occurred in her life a long time ago. She didn't know timberwolves could die. She was terrified than ever but not as much as when she last saw her parents. ''How did this happen?'' questioned Fluttershy. ''I thought timberwolves could never die and instead kill ponies.'' ''Me too,'' said Apple Jack in a cracking voice. Fluttershy realised that cracking voice. A tear dropped from her eyes. She put her hoof around her and questioned, ''why are you crying, Apple Jack? Are you okay?'' She took a deep breath but couldn't carry on as she got a vision of her as a filly in the hospital, crying on her parents death bed. Mama, Papa, please don't die, I don't wanna leave ya. Little Apple Jack said. Apple Jack couldn't control her mind and fell on the ground unconscious on Fluttershy's lap. ''Apple Jack!'' she exclaimed. Chapter 3: JealousyFluttershy carried Apple Jack on her back to Zecora's hut to figure out why she fainted and if there is a way to wake her up. As she reached there, she knocked on the door. Zecora woke up from her bed and walked up towards her door. She opened the door to see a yellow pegasus carrying an orange earth pony looking unconscious. She told the yellow pegasus to come inside and put the orange earth pony on the bed. ''Fluttershy? What have you come by?'' she questioned. Fluttershy shrugged her shoulders, ''she was crying and then collapsed on my lap. I tried to wake her up and feel her heartbeat but...'' She swayed her head. Zecora told her to place her body on the bed. She stirred up a soup for her to wake up and walked up towards the bed with a bowl and told Fluttershy to lift up the pony's head and make her drink the soup to make her wake up and have full energy again. In the meanwhile, Zecora touches Apple Jack's hoof, with her magical hoof, to know what has caused this faintness, perhaps she held lots of tension or brought back an old memory she couldn't handle. She went inside her brain and saw Apple Jack as a filly crying on top of two earth ponies death beds in a hospital. She wondered it could be her parents. She felt lots of sympathy for this poor little filly to feel such grief at such a young age. She placed her hoof on top of the little filly's shoulder but got sent back to her hut. As she was out of Apple Jack's brain, Fluttershy was confused on what had happened. ''Are you okay, Zecora?'' she asked. ''I am fine, I hope everything was divine whilst I was gone,'' she said whilst getting her hoof off her head for being dizzy. ''What happened to your eyes when you touched her hoof?'' Fluttershy questioned. The zebra responded, ''I went inside her brain to see what has caused this pain.'' Apple Jack woke up from her bed and noticed she is at Zecora's hut. ''What happened? How am I here, already?'' Fluttershy squealed, ''APPLE JACK! YOU ARE FINALLY AWAKE!'' ''Awake? What do ya mean?'' she said. Fluttershy looked at Zecora to tell the whole explanation and story to her. ''You were nauseous and your health was incautious.'' I'M SORRY IF I'M BAD AT RHYMES, I'M NOT CREATIVE LIKE Y'ALL. The orange earth pony twitched her eye and shivered through her spine, due to her lack of paranoia and anxiety. Fluttershy placed her hoof on her friends back to comfort her and asked her what was troubling her in her head. Apple Jack could not speak so told them she needed some fresh air so trotted off outside the door. Her yellow friend was worried sick about her. ''Zecora, I'm worried about her. What do you think happened to her? And if so, how can we make her be happy again?'' ''Do not worry my dear and do not fear because I have something to make her starry again.'' Apple Jack is walking through the woods in the rain with misery in her eyes and thoughts in her head. She kept blaming herself for her past but a piece of her kept telling her it's not her fault. She was swinging around tree branches and jumping over logs to make sure she still has the bravery and strength inside of her even though she kept doubting herself. ''If I had only known, It was the last walk in the rain, I'd keep you out for hours in the storm, I would hold your hand, Like a life line to my heart, Underneath the thunder we'd be warm, If I had only known, It was our last walk in the rain, If I had only known, I'd never hear your voice again, I'd memorize each thing you ever said, And on those lonely nights, I could think of them once more, Keep your words alive inside my head, If I had only known, I'd never hear your voice again,'' She sat down on a log and tried to make herself to stop crying and stop blaming her self for her parents death. Suddenly, a huge storm occurred in the sky and teleported down two earth ponies. One of them was a mare with beautiful teal blue eyes and orange mane with a yellow silky body. The other pony was a stallion with red mane and a yellow body with green emerald eyes. Apple Jack was appalled and mumbled, ''mama, dada...'' She came running up towards them and gave them a big, giant hug. Her mother exclaimed, ''you have grown so much my dear.'' Her father exclaimed, ''you are so beautiful, almost as beautiful like your mother.'' She replied, ''how are ya alive? I thought ya were dead.'' She sobbed in between them. They both took a glance at each other and cleared their daughters mane out the way so she could see. ''We are not alive, this is just an illusion. We came down to you as we saw you crying and we were worried about you.'' The father said whilst lifting up his daughters head to him. ''We have missed you and we are so proud of you on how much you have grown. Now, what is bothering you? What is upsetting you?'' ''I'm just scared. I feel like I can't carry on without you both, I keep blaming myself it was my fault you died but... but...'' She mumbled and started to cry again. The mother hugged her. ''Aw, hunny. We will always be with you and it isn't your fault. We love you, hunny. And we always will. Nothing can ever change that.'' The father smiled. ''Besides, we saw your brother being brave and knock some sense into those timberwolves. We can't be more proud than our little children. We also heard about your little sister's cutie mark that is matching with her friends.'' The mother said, ''you see that is proof we are always watching over you.'' Apple Jack wiped tears out of her eyes to get a clear vision. ''You mean it was him that killed those timberwolves in the forest?'' The couple nodded their heads at her. The yellow stallion then justified that it is time for them to go and got carried away with the wind, leaving the orange earth pony waving miserably to them. As they went away, Apple Jack crouched down and started crying even more. Whereas, Fluttershy came running up towards her along with a zebra walking towards the crying filly. ''Apple Jack!'' the yellow pegasus exclaimed, ''are you alright?'' ''Never been better, I just met my parents.'' ''What do you mean?'' She asked confusingly. ''Never mind. Let's just head inside Zecora's hut for some shelter and talk about why we are here in the first place.'' The two ponies and zebra walked towards the hut and head inside. Zecora created tea for herself and the two ponies and sat down comfortably. She led the orange earth pony to speak on what happened to her in the middle of the forest. ''It was amazing like all of a sudden, my parents came right in front of my eyes and were talking to me. I haven't met them in years. I missed them so much but when they said it was time for them to go, I lost it.'' Fluttershy asked, ''what do you mean? What happened to your parents?'' ''They... they...'' she took a deep breath, ''they are dead.'' ''What?'' she exclaimed. ''I'm so sorry, Apple Jack. I didn't know, I hope they are in a safer place now.'' ''It's fine, it happened a long time ago.'' ''So is that the reason why you collapsed?'' ''Yes,'' she said. ''Now enough about me. Let's talk about why we are actually here.'' She glared at the yellow pegasus. The yellow pegasus took a deep breath for her to talk. ''Well, we are here because we need some advice from you about...'' ''Discord,'' the apple pony finished. ''How interesting. He came for the exact same reason, in the same season.'' ''You mean...'' the yellow pegasus whimpered whilst Apple Jack nudged her on the shoulder. ''Ya see, he does like ya.'' Apple Jack turns back to Zecora, ''so do ya know how to make Fluttercord a thing?'' ''Fluttercord...?'' Fluttershy whimpered. Zecora replies, ''what does he love more than life, fear more than death or mortal strife. What the poor have, the rich require, and what contented he desire. What the miser spends, and the spendthrift saves. And all stallion carry to their graves.'' ''What in the hay is that supposed to mean? Have ya ever considered not talking in rhyme?'' ''I'm sorry but my rhyming is part of my culture, I will not hide it like a hidden furniture.'' Fluttershy tapped her chin by her delectable and soft hoof but got a yawn out of her mouth as she didn't have any sleep. The sun was about to rise. It was time for everypony to be awake. The yellow pegasus and the orange earth pony trotted off outside the door to go home and so Zecora can finally have her beauty rest. It wasn't that scary for them to enter the forest in the morning as most of the animals are nocturnal in the forest and practically the timberwolves are dead now, unless if there are other timberwolves still living in the forest. Besides, Fluttershy has gotten over her fear because of Discord and saving Equestia countless of times and she is now assertive. As they reached outside of the Everfree forest and trot off to Ponyville, they go back to Sweet Apple Acres so Apple Jack could bake some breakfast for the two of them and talk over what Fluttershy wanted to talk about. Fluttershy tapped both of her hooves together while speaking. ''I... well, Discord only announces me as his most dearest best friend, nothing more than that... and if he did like me then he would of told me because... well, he is brave.'' ''Oh. Fluttershy,'' said Apple Jack. ''Don't you see? he is only calling you a best friend because he thinks you may make fun of him for calling you something else and just because he is...'' She clears her throat. ''Brave, that does not mean he is also brave at telling his true feelings. It looks like he wants you to tell your feelings to him so he can as well.'' ''But Apple Jack, what if you may be wrong and I make a fool of myself and he end our friendship right there.'' Apple Jack puts her hoof on Fluttershy's shoulder. ''Hun, it's very obvious that he like ya back. I mean everypony in Equestia but you knows. Plus, why would he break the friendship when all he wanted was friends? Also, if ya don't mind me asking, how did ya even fall in love with him?'' Fluttershy widened her eyes and squeaked down under the table. Apple Jack dragged her back up and then took a deep breath. ''Well, our friendship got stronger overtime when he was betrayed by Tirek abandoning him. I forgave him again and again. We started writing letters and having tea parties. I let him spread his chaos in my cottage and I gotten used to his jokes.'' ''Wow,'' the orange earth pony said. ''That's one strong friendship right there and I don't want ya to break that so maybe give the both of ya some space and then tell your feelings to each other.'' She takes a deep breath, ''okay.'' ''Great,'' she said. ''I have to go back to my chores now, I'll talk with ya later.'' Fluttershy flutters back to her cottage and finds a teal blue pegasus with candy floss mane at her door. She landed behind him, folding her wings and greeted him. ''Hi, little brother!'' she said. ''What are you doing here?'' ''Hey, Flutter Brutter! How is my closet, big sister ever?'' he asked while messing up her mane. ''I just found this golden ticket on your doorstep and I would just like to say mom and dad would be so proud to be getting a ticket to the most awesome party ever! So the question is... can I go?'' Discord scatters through the sky to find Fluttershy. He sees a yellow pegasus on the ground, in front of her cottage, with a blue teal pegasus stallion. He lands on the ground, behind a tree to see what all the fuss is about. He sees a yellow pegasus with a golden ticket and a teal pegasus trying to persuade her to give him the ticket as plus one. Discord was furious in flames of jealousy. He trotted with his mis-matched legs towards them to protect Fluttershy from any stallion that's trying to hook up with the flawless yellow little pegasus. ''Hi Fluttershy!'' he exclaimed. ''Oh,'' she said. ''Hi, Discord! Long time no see.'' ''I know,'' he replied, ''care to introduce me to this fine colt?'' ''Uh, sure. Zephyr, this is Discord. My... my... friend. And Discord, this is my brother.'' ''Brother, aye? You don't say, and by the way,'' He hugs Fluttershy tightly. ''We are indeed the best of friends.'' Zephyr Breeze darts at his sister, whereas the yellow pegasus blushes on Discord's words, but a little bit of misery in her eyes since she wanted him to announce something more than friends between them. ''So, Discord. What are you doing here?'' Fluttershy asked friendly. ''I'm here because I thought I saw a golden ticket handing out to somepony,'' he said. ''Oh, I was thinking about it.'' She folded her wings. ''Who are you bringing to the gala if by any chance you did get a ticket just like last time.'' ''Oh, I haven't gotten it yet my dear but if I don't, make sure to keep that plus one position all clean for me, alright?'' He was about to blush but to get away with the pink strain on his face, he had to go. ''Now, I have to go...'' He picks up Starlight's laundry. ''Go do Starlight's laundry. Alright, tata!'' Discord magically disappears, leaving Fluttershy with a pensive facial expression on her face. Twilight comes into Starlight's bedroom with slamming the door open in a complete shocked facial expression and holding a basket up in the air to show her there is no dirty clothes in it so she assumes she put it in the wash. ''Since when did you do the laundry, Starlight Glimmer?'' said Twilight surprisingly. Starlight Glimmer put down her book on her bed and got off her bed and trotted off in front of Twilight and the basket. ''I didn't... I mean, yeah! I definitely did the laundry today!'' She chuckled slightly which made Twilight's eyebrows flinch at her. ''Is there something you are hiding from me?'' Discord comes popping inside the room and greets the two ponies by a big and giant hug. ''HELLO MATEYS!'' ''Oh,'' said Twilight. ''Hey, Discord. What are you doing here?'' she asked while getting squished. The draconequus lets the two ponies down on the floor and floats up in the air with a laying down position and two of his mis-matched arms relaxing on his horse-like face. ''I'm actually here because...'' He mumbles, ''well... I need some advice.'' ''Advice?'' Starlight questioned confusingly with her eyebrow flinched. ''Yes,'' he responded. ''I need some advice on about...'' He wobbles his mouth and stutters. ''Fluh... Tuh... Shy...'' Both of the unicorns widened their eyes and was in complete silence. It was Twilight who broke the long silence. She darts her eyes at Starlight Glimmer that is laughing. ''Are you, are you asking me for some... love advice?'' ''What? No! Well, uhm... yes. But if you tell anypony then I will turn you into a haystack and feed you to Starlight.'' Twilight pounces and replies with, ''alright.'' She clears her throat. ''Well, if you are willing to ask Fluttershy out and you two are really, really close friends then give her something she would love and if you are not comfortable, write a letter to her about your feelings but it's more easier to confess face-to-face.'' Discord holds her mouth tight to stop talking even more. ''Okay, to tell you the truth I did not expect a lecture and even if you are right that still doesn't make up the fact you can't love somepony. It will only lead to pain.'' The two ponies dart their eyes at each other. Discord teleports off to Fluttershy's cottage. He holds a rose in his paw in a silky black suit with a red bow tie to suit the flower colour. He also wear black shiny shoes and nicely done combed mane. He knocks on the door gently and realises that there is no sound coming from the door. He looked in every window of the cottage but some of them were blocked with curtains in the way. There was a window uncovered, he couldn't see any yellow pegasus but just animals. He wondered if she might be at her sanctuary so he trotted away from the cottage. He sees two ponies walking along together so he jumps inside a bush to hide from them and eavesdrop... I mean, observe over these two ponies. He sees a light brown pegasus with yellow mane touching the yellow pegasuses chest with his brown-coloured hoof. Just by that, Discord was raging in anger and flames. The brown pegasus was about to kiss Fluttershy. Discord's heart broke and zoomed off into the sky. Fluttershy backed away and yelled, ''why in Equestia would you do that?'' The brown pegasus shivered. ''I thought you... you liked me.'' ''I never said I did! Now get out!'' ''But...'' ''Now!'' The pegasus shivers in the air and lands on the ground again to get a head start to zoom into the sky. Chapter 4: HeartbrokenA rainbow maned, blue cyan pegasus was resting on a comfortable, luxurious and delectable cloud during the evening as she was tired with what all the wonderbolt training she has been doing all day under Spitfire's wing, so she decided it would be best for her to take a nap. Suddenly, a pink cotton candy cloud moves slowly towards Rainbow Dash's cloud. She wondered if a familiar draconquus she knows has something to do with this but she could not find anyone on top of it, so she got into the perfect position on her cloud again and go back to her nap. A few moments later, the draconquus materializes right next to the rainbow maned pegasus and frightens her to wake up. ''AHHH!'' she screamed. ''Discord? What in the wide world of Equestia would you wake me up for?'' she said aggressively. ''So sorry to wake you up, my little pony,'' he said. ''But I am here to...'' He materializes a hoofball in his paw and spins it in the air. ''Play some hoofball with you.'' ''Not right now,'' she stammered. ''Can't you see I'm trying to have a nap here after a long day? Now go find Fluttershy and leave me alone.'' He vanquishes the ball away. ''Fine, party pooper ponies.'' He departed off to his other friends, whereas Rainbow Dash pulled out two small parts of the cloud and plucked it up in her ears to fall back to sleep again and not have any interruptions to destruct her sleep again. Meanwhile, he materialized inside Rarity's boutique to check on what she has been up to and wonder if she has any free time to hang out with her friends. Discord was extremely heartbroken so to get away with the heartache, he distracts himself with hanging out with ponies. ''Hi, Rarity!'' he exclaimed. ''Are you free today?'' Rarity hums along while sewing up gala dresses and was too distracted to hear Discord. Until, she sees Discord laying upon her bed. ''Oh, Discord. I didn't see you there, darling. What can I do for you? Are you here for a gala suit?'' ''Gala suit...?'' ''Why, yes. We are not entering the gala with no clothes on. We have to act professional and efficient, after all this is the most prominent party in all of Equestia.'' He smooths out his beard to think he should have Rarity make a suit for him for the gala in order to impress Fluttershy. He then twitches his eye and remembers that Fluttershy does not like him after the... kiss. ''Discord?'' she said. ''Is everything alright? Are you okay?'' Discord sways his head to get away from his thoughts. ''Huh? Oh, yes. I so do want a brilliant suit for the Grand Galloping Gala that is coming up and... I... I... I need to... sp... speak...'' ''Just say it, darling.'' ''I NEED TO SPEAK WITH YOU!'' Rarity was startled at his tone and widened her eyes. ''About what?'' she asked. He fidgeted with his disembodied and mis-matched hands. The very tip of his tail formed into the shape of a heart but broke apart, luckily for him she didn't see his variety of symptoms of heartbreak. He turned paler than usual and sweated. His body temperature was as warm as a strove. His heart was filled with a school of students who's brains were burning and wrecked the whole building. That's how heartbroken he was to tell somepony about his feelings. Of course, if he hadn't saw them kiss, he still wouldn't tell anypony as he knew ponies would only judge him. Why would Fluttershy like the Lord of Chaos back? His appearance, his past, his attitude, his mistakes. Finally, Discord shook his head out of the dark thoughts and got a word out of his mouth. But he still fidgeted with his disembodied hands. He puckered his face and screwed up his eyes. ''I caught Fluttershy kissing another stallion.'' ''You what? But she could never, she lo... I mean, I can't imagine Fluttershy the kissing type.'' Discord flinched his eyebrows at her, only for her to appear a pensive facial expression on. He then matched her expression and kneeled down on the floor with his hands scrunched up. ''What's the point of loving somepony when you only know they wouldn't love you back and break your heart!'' Rarity widened her eyes and opened her mouth in shock. ''Y- You... LOVE HER? WE KNEW IT!'' Discord was blushing harder than ever. He turned as red as a tomato. But he denied his love for her immediately. If Discord didn't love Fluttershy then why did he feel heartbroken after they nearly kissed? Why did he always stick up for her every time no matter if anypony would embarrass them? Did he really love her more than a friend or is he just too good into denying his affections towards her? Rarity examined the blush on his cheek. ''I think it's finally time to tell you that Fluttershy likes you back as well. I mean, if she didn't then she wouldn't stood up for you all the time and be overprotective. She also wouldn't of invite you to her tea parties all the time if she didn't like you.'' ''Fluttershy and I are just friends and she perfectly explained it through a kiss. Also, how would you know about love? Romantic EXPERT!'' Rarity stopped her magic and dropped her measurement tape on the ground as she sat down. Discord aggressively stormed out through the boutique. Discord was walking through Ponyville and saw so many ponies exchanging gifts and kisses. He saw Lyra and Bon Bon giving each other gifts and kissing each other. He thought to himself that even LGBTQ+ ponies can get together but he can't even win one little delicate pony's heart. He also saw Derpy and Dr. Hooves kissing each other. Even a pony who is different... Different, that's it! It's him being different that is preventing Fluttershy from liking him. Why would a shy and graceful pony love a hideous monster that did lots of mistakes in the past? Though, everypony does mistakes in order to be perfect and there was lots of former villains that were forgiven so many times: Starlight Glimmer, Trixie Lulamoon, Sunset Shimmer, Tempest Shadow, Princess Luna, the changlings. So why did people keep bringing up his past? Just because he is still identified as the Lord of Chaos and has disembodied parts, doesn't mean he is still evil. The only reason why he still act chaotic is because it's in his nature or else he will disappear just like in the episode, ''Discordant Harmony.'' But thanks to Fluttershy, he managed to stop fading away. He also hates how Princess Twilight Sparkle is worshipped and praised all the time. There shouldn't even be such a thing as leadership in friendship groups, just for countries and kingdoms to lead them and provide them with supplies. It just looks like Twilight is all high and mighty. Why does she get all the fame and glory? There is no such thing as ''perfect.'' They are making it look like Twilight is the only special one just because she was Princess Celestia's faithful student. Anyways, Discord was tired of thinking and wanted to get away with these thoughts in his mind and hurting in his heart. He found a tree branch he could rest on so materialized up there and slowly slid his eyes closed to sleep. Meanwhile, Fluttershy was preparing the tea party for Discord as it was Tuesday. She waited for seconds and then seconds turned into minutes. She was tired of waiting so she slowly relaxed her eyelids and closed them to sleep. In the morning, Fluttershy woke up and yawned. Discord was still not here nor contacted her about why he wasn't able to come yesterday. She began to worry. He never once had missed a tea party before. What if something had happened to him? What if she could possibly had potentially hurt him? But I don't remember doing anything that could of hurt him. She thought to herself. She stood up from her chair and quickly drank her tea to refill and energise herself in order to search for her closest best friend. She flew out of the window but quickly came back inside to tell Angel bunny to behave and take care of the place. ''You be good now, Angel bunny. Take care of this place till I'm gone and don't worry, you won't feel lonely. I'll only be gone for a few minutes and...'' Angel bunny was tapping his foot on the floor with his arms folded against his chest. This caught Fluttershy's attention to listen and quickly went outside of the window again. Angel bunny trotted towards the window and closed it. Fluttershy came back to the window but it was closed. Fortunately, she could hear nothing so she assumed everything was fine. She flew away from her cottage to begin her search for her fellow draconequus friend. Fluttershy searched everywhere in Ponyville for her friend. She even checked in Starlight Glimmer's bedroom, to be precise in her sock drawer. She also flew all around cloudsdale. She sat down on a cloud to rest but realised it looking oddly shaped. She picked up the layers of the cloud but couldn't find any pony or creature. Fluttershy then travelled to Sweet Apple Acres to ask the apple family if they had any chance of Discord coming here or if they had seen him anywhere. ''Discord?'' said Apple Jack. ''No, I haven't seem him anywhere. Come to think of it, I haven't seem him all week and weren't you two supposed to have a tea party yesterday as it was Tuesday?'' ''That's what I am here for, Apple Jack,'' she stammered. ''He didn't attend at all yesterday nor given me a letter saying so. I'm so worried about him, what if something had happened to him? What if he's mad at me?'' ''I wouldn't stress too much about him, after all he is the Lord of Chaos. He can protect himself with his magic.'' ''I guess you are right,'' said Fluttershy. ''And also, do you mind if I take some apples off your hooves? You see Angel bunny has been feeling a lot stressed lately.'' ''I'm not surprised,'' she responded. ''You are stressed as well but sure, just take the whole basket over there.'' She gestured over towards the basket full of apples sitting next to a already-picked tree. ''Thank you so much, Apple Jack!'' She flew over to the basket and laid it on her back to trot out of Sweet Apple Acres and find her friend then put these apples in her cottage. Fluttershy was walking through Ponyville with a basket full of apples. Alternatively, she sees a rattle snake tail hanging from a tree branch. She tilted her head up to see if it belongs to somepony (or somecreature) she knows. She sees her draconquus friend and calls out his name. ''Discord!'' she shouts. The draconequus twitches his eye to the sound of the delicate voice he promised himself to never hear that voice again, with what had happened. He looks down on the ground and sees the yellow pegasus. She was still attractive to him. He quickly rotates his head to the position where he was minding his own business. Fluttershy was confused why he had ignored her like that. Perhaps he didn't hear her low voice. If that's so then why did he quickly turned his head away after he saw her? She called out for Discord again and this time she wanted an explanation to why Discord ignored her when she first called him. ''Discord!'' she shouted again. ''Why are you ignoring me?'' Discord thought to himself, I can't ignore this sweet little pony forever. He shook his head. No. If she's so innocent then why did she kiss that stallion? Oh, who am I kidding? I can't ignore her and... perhaps I should tell my feelings, even if I get hurt. Just go for it, Discord. What is it you got to lose? Another piece of him replied with, Fluttershy. Discord with a pensive facial expression flew down to the ground beside the yellow pegasus. They both stared at each other for a while until Fluttershy broke the silence. ''Hey.'' ''Hey.'' ''Is everything okay, Discord?'' she asked with puppy eyes. ''What do you mean?'' he asked. ''Everything is perfectly fine.'' He turned away to prevent her from seeing him sulking. ''Then why didn't you come to our tea party? I was so worried about you, I searched everywhere in Ponyville looking for you. I was so stressed that something might have had happened to you.'' ''You did? You were? I'm sorry, my dear Fluttershy for causing you so much stress but you shouldn't risk yourself in finding me. I already learnt a long time ago that there was no way a beautiful and graceful pony like you could ever like me back. I'm a hideous monster full of hatred and mistakes.'' He puckered his face to the ground and curled up. ''I didn't need a kiss to learn that.'' Fluttershy widened her eyes in shock. ''Y- You like me? And that's not true! You are a great friend who has always stood up for me everytime and what do you mean kiss...?'' ''Don't lie to me, Fluttershy. I know you kissed that brown pegasus. I saw.'' ''What? Kiss...? Brown pegasus...? Oh... Discord, I didn't kiss him. In fact, I pushed away when he was trying to kiss me because... I... well,'' she blushed and sat next to him. She looked directly into his eyes to say her final words. ''I love you.'' Discord widened his eyes in disbelief. He could not believe what he was hearing. Did she really love him? He must have had hay in his ears. ''You... do?'' Fluttershy relaxed her head on him. ''Yes, you big softie.'' She took her head off him and looked directly into his eyes and leaned in closer for a lingering and long kiss. Discord was shocked in disbelief. He slowly closed his eyes to enjoy the wonderful moment. It felt good to kiss her. Her lips tasted like strawberries and sugar, let alone her beauty. Her teal eyes were beautiful for him to look at especially her stare was so mesmerising to resist. This flawless little pony, this delicate and graceful little pony loves him back. Looks like his love life isn't so messed up after all as he thought. The two love birds didn't want the kiss to end. It felt like an eternity and Discord should know that because he spent that time in stone. Unfortunately, they both needed some air to breathe so slowly pulled away from each other and slightly blushed. ''That was...'' Discord started to say. ''Nice,'' Fluttershy completed. All of a sudden, a pink dynamic earth pony popped from out of the bushes and startled the two love birds, along with three other candy corn fillies. Fluttershy and Discord both turned red that they were getting spied on. ''THE FLUTTERCORD SHIP HAS FINALLY SAILED!'' Pinkie Pie shouted while having a paper hat boat on her head and celebrating with confetti and balloons. ''That was so romantic,'' Sweetie Belle sighed flirtingly. Scootaloo stuck her tongue out in disgust. ''Yuck! Talk about disgusting.'' Apple Bloom playfully nudged her in the shoulders. ''DO IT AGAIN!'' Pinkie Pie shouted. ''AGAIN! AGAIN AGAIN! AGAIN!'' Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom joined along. ''Oh, great. Don't tell me you two are in this too?'' said Scootaloo, seeing the two fillies smiling at her innocently. Fluttershy blushed slightly and buried her face into her soft and pink rose petalled mane. Discord swiped her delicate mane away from her face and leaned in closer for another lingering kiss again. They all adored in awe except for Scooterloo who was too busy sticking her tongue out. Author's Note Yay! I finally finished this story and I really like how I ended this, it was cute! I really had fun writing this story and I hope you enjoyed reading this! But if you didn't, that is okay. I only do these for fun and I'm going to start up another story
Chapter 1: DenialIn the Grand Galloping Gala, Fluttershy had invited her friend Tree Hugger as her plus one. On the other hoof, Discord felt jealous and was misunderstood that he thought Fluttershy had ditched him for having a new friend. So for him to top that off, he invited his friend as well, called the Snooze. He never fully cared about him but his feelings for Fluttershy. It seemed like the plan of him making Fluttershy jealous didn't work out as she was so distracted by her new friend. When Discord tried to impress her, he did a comedian show in front of everypony but unfortunately, no one found him funny. They all found Pinkie Pie's sister, Maud, that made fun of him, funny. Meanwhile, while Discord was getting angry at everypony laughing at Maud instead of him, a little colt found green liquid slime underneath a door. He was scared that his legs were shivering. Until, Twilight turned around and let everypony know that there is slime coming out of the door. It attempted to make the whole of the ballroom flooded with slime. No one, not even the princess could handle the ooze as it enveloped her horn. The only pony that could stop the ooze from being insane was a green earth pony with pinkish-reddish mane. Her name was Tree Hugger. She used her calming, rhythmical humming noises to calm him down. Discord felt even more angry and so dragged her to another alternate dimension. Fluttershy's friends tried all they can to stop him once and for all, but Discord rolled a disco ball on the ground for the ooze to follow it and drag her friends along. Fluttershy was mad at Discord. ''I don't understand why you are doing this, we were all getting along so well,'' she said. Discord replied, ''as well as we could, considering you already stopped all of our friendship by inviting her to the biggest night of the year! It's as if I didn't matter at all!'' ''Did you really think I'd abandon you just because I have a new friend!'' ''Yes!'' he yelled. ''Because that's what you did.'' ''No, Discord! I invited a friend to a party, I didn't abandon you. What if you had a friend that you could discuss chaos base magic with, will that mean we aren't friends anymore?'' He waffled. ''No, I suppose not. It just means that I have different friends for different things.'' He gabbled. ''Oh... Oh... Dear, it looks like that I perhaps just overreacted for just a scourge.'' ''More like a lot of scourges!'' She turns to Tree Hugger. ''Tree Hugger, could you give us a minute?'' She nods her head gently at her. ''I'm just so new at this whole friendship thing. It's so much more complicated than it looks,'' said Discord. ''Do you think you owe somepony an apology?'' Discord sprouts a flower in his paw for her. Fluttershy tosses it away and says, ''not me!'' He gambled over words. ''Oh, well, uh, uh, yes, right...'' He clears his throat. He snaps his claws to make the portal vanish away and drop Tree Hugger on a pillow on the ground, then vanishing it away as she lands on it. Fluttershy flies over to her to hug her. He also took away the jewels from ooze so he turns back to his average size again and let the Mane Six free. Discord trotted on over to Tree Hugger and Fluttershy to apologize for his wrong doings. As everypony minds their own business again and enjoys the party by talking to their friends, Discord apologises to ooze. After that, he trembles over towards Fluttershy sitting on a table alone as Tree Hugger was talking with the others. ''Fluttershy, I just would like to say...'' ''Discord,'' she replied. ''It's fine. I forgive you already.'' ''No, no, no, no! Not that. I meant I came to confess.'' ''Huh?'' ''I love you, Fluttershy!'' Spike plays with two dolls that looks exactly like Fluttershy and Discord, except with buttoned eyes. He tries to mimic Fluttershy's voice. ''And she said, 'I love you too, Discord.' Mwah! Mwah! Mwah! Mwah!'' He giggles our of enjoyment. ''SPIKE!!! YOU IGNITED THE KITCHEN ON FIRE AGAIN!!!'' Twilight yelled from the castle corridors, next to the kitchen door where smoke is coming out of it and flaming in fire. Damn it. Again? He thought to himself. He quickly ran towards the kitchen to fire extinguish everything and then go back to his... business. He then remembered himself that he has to meet Big Mac and Sugar Belle at Sweet Apple Acres for a grand surprise they are going to be announcing. He wondered what it was but he was patient enough to wait. Few minutes later, he exited out of the castle to travel to Sweet Apple Acres for the big and exciting news. As he reached there, Big Mac and Sugar Belle were just as excited as Spike was to tell the big news. Spike exclaimed, ''so what is the big surprise, you crazy lovebirds.'' He smirked and winked. ''Did you get free ice-cream?'' He drooled over. Big Mac and Sugar Belle both chuckled towards each other and glare back at Spike to smile at him. Sugar Belle was the one who told the big news. ''Big Mac and I are expecting a baby,'' she said with a cheerful smile on her face. Simultaneously, Discord teleported out of nowhere in between the two couple. ''Ooh! What's the surprise?'' He questioned mischievously. Sugar Belle told him the big and exciting news. He teleported himself in a nurses outfit. ''So you two are having dirty nights, am I right?'' he said jokingly. The two lovebirds squinted their eyes at him which made Discord regret saying that, sort of... If you know Discord, he never truly feels regretful or sorrowful. (NOT THE SONG FROM PRINCESS TRIXIE SPARKLE!) Only when it comes to his dear friend, Fluttershy, the love interest of the master of chaos. ''Uhm... Discord, may I ask why you are here?'' asked Spike. ''Well, that's a bit harsh. Why can't I visit my most oldest and my most dearest friends. And I don't know, play Ogre's and Oubliette's,'' said Discord. ''I'm sorry, Discord. But we can't as we are planning a baby shower for the new baby.'' ''But how do you make the baby get showered? He or she is inside her stomach.'' The two ponies and dragon giggled at his words. He scoffed. ''What is so hilarious?'' He placed his eagle claw and lion paw on his snake-like waist. Sugar Belle explained, ''a baby shower is a party held for a woman who is expecting a baby, to which friends and relatives bring gifts for the child. Although, it is typically for the female.'' Discord smoothed out his white goatee. ''A party, aye? Well, you are in luck because I will be making the party go upside down.'' He chuckles while tilting his head upside down. Spike slapped himself on the face with his claw. He remembered Discord has his own true love to worry about. ''No need, Discord. Besides, don't you have Fluttershy to worry about?'' he asked. ''Oh, Fluttershy is fine I can assure you with that.'' He puts his forehead touching Spike's forehead. ''So can I help? Please...?'' He whined. Big Mac whispers to Spike in his ear to tell Discord to tell them a good story he has experienced before so they can secretly walk away as he blabs on. And it worked. ''How about you tell us a story that you have experienced before,'' Spike asked. Discord starts telling a story. As he shuts his eyes while blabbering on, the other three secretly walked away from him to get ready for the baby shower. He opened his eyes and was unamused. ''Well, that was quite rude of them to just walk away. I suppose it was their way of leaving me behind.'' He then soars to the sky and finds a rainbow maned pegasus resting on a comfortable, luxurious and delectable cloud. ''HI, DASHIE!'' he yelled. ''HOW ARE YOU DOING ON THIS DELECTABLE DAY?'' She wakes up from her nap and yawns. ''Discord?'' She said with one eye opened. ''What are you doing here?'' ''Have you seen Fluttershy anywhere?'' he asked mischievously. ''Fluttershy...? No, I haven't seen her anywhere. Why?'' ''No reason.'' He took off and dive right into the clouds. He lands on the ground in Ponyville and see a familiar blue unicorn walking by with a pink unicorn. He comes forward towards them and greets them by teleporting in between them and picking them up to hug them. ''Oh,'' Starlight Glimmer responded. ''Hey there, Discord! Long time no see,'' she greeted while almost getting squished to pieces. ''PUT ME DOWN, YOU RASCAL!'' Trixie unpleasantly shouted. ''Rascal? Well, see that I won't invite you to the baby shower.'' ''Why I... Wait, baby shower?'' ''Of course.'' He says out loud that the whole of Ponyville shakes and hear him. ''BIG MAC AND SUGAR BELLE ARE HAVING A BABY.'' It was even loud that he could echo all across Ponyville. Starlight held a laugh in both of her pink cheeks but she couldn't hold it in much longer so busted out laughing. ''They had...'' She giggled even more, ''DIRTY NIGHTS?'' She laughed even harder. ''EXACTLY WHAT I SAID!'' He took out his paw for Starlight to hoof bump him. ''We have good humour.'' He smirked. ''The Great and Powerful Trixie thinks that the next pair to have a baby is you and Fluttershy.'' Trixie smirked that Starlight Glimmer laughed even louder. ''It's true because we shipped you since the beginning of time,'' said Starlight. Discord was blushing harder than ever. He almost turned as red as a tomato so turned himself into one to hide the red strain on his face. As they stopped laughing, Starlight Glimmer walked away with Trixie to do some paperwork at the school of friendship. Whereas, Discord transformed back to his ordinary self again and teleported off to the Crystal Empire. The Crystal Empire was looking bewitching and enthralling than ever before. The crystal ponies was polishing every bits of the kingdom, especially the crystal heart. It looked lustrous and gleaming. Discord was amused that the crystal ponies did all this for the kingdom. He bumped into a castle guard. An orange pegasus with blue mane and gleaming yellow armour. ''May I help you?'' he asked. ''Of course you can.'' Discord looked directly towards him and realised he looked similiar. ''Hey, I know you.'' ''You do?'' he said raising an eyebrow and smirking slightly nervously. ''Yeah,'' he replied. ''You are that guard who is dating Princess Twilight Sparkle in the human world.'' ''I don't know what you are talking about but that would be a dream to date her,'' he said flatteringly. ''Well,'' he said. ''You are in luck because she likes you too!'' ''No,'' He couldn't believe it. I mean, why would a Princess that was once Princess Celestia's faithful and saved Equestia countless times be attracted to this little pegasus that works as a guard for Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Princess Cadence. He questioned with, ''really?'' ''Yeah!' he exclaimed. ''Now let me in.'' ''Of course,'' he said. ''Master of chaos.'' He bowed his head down so he wouldn't do any disastrous stuff to him. Discord walks into the Crystal Empire even though he knew he could just teleport inside the throne room but he wanted to explore the decorations, shiny walls and hallways. It's not exactly the type of thing he would like as he is more into chaotic stuff but still, he was still amazed at how well the crystal ponies have kept the kingdom. As he reached to the throne room, Princess Cadence was sitting on her throne doing absolutely nothing. Seems a bit boring if you ask me. Anyways, the pink alicorn princess asked him why he was here. It seemed he wanted to let her make everypony know that him and Fluttershy are just friends, even though he knew deep down in his heart, he loved her more than a friend. ''Discord,'' she said. ''I can't do that.'' ''Why? Aren't you the princess of love?'' he asked. ''Yes,'' she responded. ''But I know that you do love her.'' Discord was uncomfortable and embarrassed that his tail rolled into the shape of a heart. His eagle claw and lion paw was shaking as if a ladybug was crawling on top of his mis-matched hands. His goatee rolled up and slammed his horse-like face. He started laughing to seem like he didn't like her. ''Oh, please. Don't tell me you are behind this shipping thing too.'' He started laughing even more. ''What makes you think I'm joking?'' She smirked that made Discord stop laughing. ''I remember when I was in denial of loving a handsome captain of the royal guards. I started foalsitting his little sister to get to know him better more. For you, Discord, I can feel the loving presence for Fluttershy inside of you. I could even feel it inside of Fluttershy but as you already know, she will never tell her true feelings as she is shy and scared you might break her heart and end the friendship but of course she doesn't know that you feel the same way too.'' ''Hold up.'' He snapped his eagle claw to magic up a glass of chocolate milk and spit it out. ''So what you are saying is Fluttershy has a crush on me and I have a crush on her?'' She nodded her head. ''Come on,'' he scoffed. ''I came to you to tell other ponies I only like her as a friend but now you are just filling my head by sprouting crazy stuff.'' Even though there is plenty of chaotic stuff in there. He mumbled to himself. ''Besides, I'm a whole different creature and a beast towards her, whereas she is... graceful.'' He sighed. ''I advise you to just take your time if you are not comfortable yet.'' She then walks out of the door. ''Remember love comes in all forms and personality means everything.'' She slams the door for him to think about it. Meanwhile, Fluttershy walks around through Ponyville with her friend Rarity to go to the spa. They have waited to go to the spa together again for such a long time. Rarity was relieved that her enervating work at her three boutiques was finally finished for the day and could finally take a day off, along with her friend Fluttershy with her animal sanctuary. She didn't have any sick patients today and was all taken care under Dr. Fauna's hoof. When all of a sudden, a long snake-like creature with mis-matched wings, legs, arms and antlers teleported between them and greeted them. ''HELLO! How is my favourite little ponies doing today?'' He hugged them tightly but of course Fluttershy was used to his hugs. Unfortunately, Rarity was not and became angry. ''Put me down right now, you scoundrel.'' Fluttershy ignored her lack of discourteous and greeted him back instead. ''Hey, Discord!'' ''Hey there, my dear Fluttershy. Have you heard about Big Mac's and Sugar Belle's...'' He mumbled and emptied his throat to let out his words. ''Baby.'' ''Oh, yes. It's so wonderful and it's so happy for them to start their own lives peacefully with their love ones. It's amazing how one pony can turn somepony's life around.'' He bickered to himself. ''Yeah, yeah, I would stay for another minute but I have some CHORES to do back at my dimension.'' He teleported up a yellow hairnet for him to wear on his head, along with yellow gloves holding a sponge to scrub the plate he is holding and washing in the sink he just teleported. ''TATA!'' He vanished away off to his chaos dimension estate. She puckered her face, screwed up her eyes, and pensively swayed her head. Rarity called out for her from the spa and went inside. Fluttershy followed her along by fluttering her wings towards the spa and went inside as well. The spa ponies were reading magazines since they had no other customers to give their spa treatments, until Rarity and Fluttershy entered in. One of the spa ponies gasped and greeted. ''Rarity! It's so glad to see you again.'' She hugged her. ''And Fluttershy,'' she hugged the yellow pegasus as well. ''Why, it certainly has been so long since you two have been here together.'' ''Well,'' Rarity responded, ''work at the boutique has been optimistically very busy lately.'' ''Of course, darling. It is one of the most busiest shops in all of Equestia.'' The other spa pony trotted over and asked if they want the same spa treatment as usual. Rarity nodded her head along with Fluttershy. In the steam room, they were spilling hot water between coal to make more steam. Rarity spiced up the mood by asking Fluttershy a question. ''So Fluttershy, how do you feel towards Discord?'' she questioned with a smirk. ''What do you mean by that? He's my friend.'' ''Oh, darling. Cut the Romeo and Juliet rubbish. Admit your feelings about him to me. I won't tell him,'' she smirked at her. They transferred to the station where the ponies do a massage on them and do facemasks. Fluttershy shuttered her teeth nervously. ''I'm telling you, Rarity. We are just friends, what answer do you want from me?'' ''That you have...'' She bounced her eyebrows at her. They exited out of the spa as they got freshened up. ''Darling, you can't hide your feelings about him inside you forever and plus everypony already knows you two have a crush on each other.'' ''What about you and Spike?'' she backfired. ''What about him?'' She slammed her face with her yellow hoof. At Discord's chaos dimension, Discord was scattering around in his estate looking for a way to ask his true love out but also had things on his mind. I am the master of chaos. Why am I so lovey-dovey towards a small, little pony? ''Maybe because that little pony reformed you and touched your heart.'' ''Huh?'' He looked around and saw a Devil Discord on his shoulder. ''If you are not a coward, you would of asked her out long ago. But if you are truly the master of chaos then you wouldn't be falling in love with ponies who are...'' He sighed flirtingy and dreamingly, ''perfect...'' ''Exactly,'' his shoulder devil completed. ''You have gotten soft but then again you still hold horror towards every creature. That pony is nothing but a weak little pegasus.'' ''Hey, don't talk like that about her!'' He stopped and mumbled to himself, ''woah... Where did that come from?'' ''See what she's doing to you! She's giving you a good conscience.'' ''Then what do you suppose I do?'' An angel popped on to Discord's shoulder. ''Ask her out, she's perfect the way she is.'' ''She also gave you a Shoulder Angel!'' Shoulder Devil exclaimed. ''Now listen to me, you old hog. You are going to go out there and show them who is boss.'' Discord declined his request and backfired. ''I don't need any of you, I can do this all alone by myself.'' He vanished them away out of his window. ''Now it is time to pay another visit to Zecora,'' he said in a deep voice.
Chapter 2: Zecora's AdviceKnock Knock ''Who is knocking so late? I am coming please wait,'' Zecora said walking up towards the door. As she opened up the door, a creature with mis-matched wings, arms, legs and antlers with a pony-like head was standing in front of her. He greeted her in despite of her mumbling and her tail up towards the back of her black and white striped head. She was confused why he was here until Discord told her he had something bugging in his head lately. She asked for him to sit down directly in front of her on a table. She asked him to continue speaking to get some facts about him and these things inside his head that is bugging him. He responds, ''so as you can see Fluttershy and I are best friends and has the strongest friendship between two creatures in all of Equestia. Nopony but her was able to reform me and offered me her friendship. We got to know each other by having tea parties and our friendship has gotten closer than ever. Ponies tempt to say I have a crush on her but that's not true. So I want you to show them Fluttershy and I are just friends.'' Zecora rubbed her chin to get an idea. She then pops a lightbulb in her head. ''I can see what I can do, with mixing something in my brew.'' Discord raised his thick white eyebrows at her while she stirred up a vision in her brew. It showed him a yellow pegasus hugging a draconequus. He opened up his mouth but closed it again. ''What is this?'' he asked confusingly. ''This is what happens when two becomes one, they create a magic more powerful than a wand,'' she indicated. He said waffling, ''so you are saying our love is more powerful than anything?'' She nodded her head gently which made him burst out laughing. ''You really are a paranoid and insane zebra.'' Zecora flinched her eyebrow at him which made him stop laughing, ''you may be in denial first and scared she may break you but once you open up, things won't become worse.'' He thought to himself by smoothing out his white goatee and finally got to the point. ''Oh, you are good!'' He enthusiastically zooms out of the door and closes it. Zecora cheerfully closes her eyes and chuckles. At Twilight's castle, Spike is lying on his throne, whereas Big Mac is lying on Rainbow Dash's throne doing nothing. They are bored waiting for Discord to enter the world of Ogre's and Oubliette's as it is their first guys night in forever with what all the responsibilities they have had during the years. Spike blew up a feather from his tummy to the air. Big Mac was just sewing up his yoke that he wears around his neck for pulling carts. Spike started up with a conversation to enthusiast the moment. ''I don't think he will ever come play with us tonight as we did ignore him all these years when he needed us.'' ''Ee-yup.'' ''I mean it's not our fault we had responsibilities to do.'' ''Ee-yup.'' ''I mean you have Sugar Belle, I have Rarity... Practically. And Discord, he has no idea on what love is that's why he hasn't yet asked out Fluttershy still.'' Big Mac nodded his head. ''You know,'' Spike sat up on his throne and held the arm bars with his claws. ''I just gotten a genuine idea.'' Big Mac tilted his head. ''How about we hook them up just like how the cutie mark crusaders, Discord and I hooked you and Sugar Belle up.'' Big Mac swayed his head. ''What do you mean no?'' he said. Big Mac finally said something, ''just by that it all became chaotic.'' ''Yeah... But Discord is not in this with us. In fact, we are helping him to ask Fluttershy out.'' Big Mac nodded his head. Spike gasp as he got a lightbulb occur in his head but thought to himself that it wouldn't be such a good idea. Big Mac gasps and whispers to Spike in his ear just in case if Discord manages to hear. Spike nodded his head and repeated yes every time he whispered inside his ear. ''Well, what are you waiting for? Let's go!'' Spike exclaimed. They went inside the Everfree forest and tried to be careful to not run into dangerous creatures. Unfortunately and regrettably, they did. After a few minutes as they entered the forest, they trembled upon timberwolves. They both screamed in terror until Big Mac thought to himself. To make my parents proud, I have to save the two of us from us being eaten and harmed. His parents were killed by timberwolves so rest in peace. ''WHERE IS FLUTTERSHY WHEN YOU NEED HER?'' Spike shouted whilst running away from them with Big Mac until he stopped for a minute. Big Mac confidently stepped in front of the timberwolves, leaving Spike calling out for him to step further away from being killed. The timberwolves breath stank like garlic dipped in ketchup. They drooled spit on top of him and was ready to eat him alive until he bravely kicked them out of it and gave them so many punches. Spike was flabbergasted and mind blown. The timberwolves bodies fell in front of the purple and green scaled dragon. There was blood all over them. Spike's mouth was wide opened and was shocked. He ran over to Big Mac and hugged him. ''You are alright! I mean, you killed them! What? How?'' Spike was speechless. Big Mac smiled and told him to carry on walking to tell him what encouraged him to beat the heck out of those stinky, pony-eating timberwolves. Spike was tearing down when he said his parents deaths by timberwolves had encouraged him. ''Wow,'' he said shockingly. ''Your parents must be so proud up there.'' Big Mac slightly smiled and realised they are finally here at Zecora's hut. They knocked on the door. She opened it and let them in. They explained the whole story and asked for advice on how to get Discord and Fluttershy to be together. She chuckled. ''What a coincidence, he came for the exact same reason from the previous incidence.'' ''So that's where he was an hour ago and why he didn't come to our meeting.'' Spike glared at Big Mac. ''We thought it was because he didn't want to see us for how we ignored him for so many years.'' Big Mac says, ''so you know how to get Fluttershy and Discord together?'' Zecora smiled. ''I don't even have to try but I am part of this tri.'' Spike questioned, ''what is that supposed to mean?'' Zecora sprinkled in some gold dust into her cauldron and stirred up a vision brew. She showed the stallion and dragon the brew. ''How is this possible?'' Spike asked. Big Mac nodded his head at Spike's sentence. Zecora explained, ''falling in love is so easy to do, he fell for her right out of the blue. Hearing her voice and seeing her smile, she stole his heart and he just went wild.'' Big Mac listened carefully to her words and looked down back at the brew. He glared at Zecora again. ''You can't give a straight answer to us, can you?'' Spike yelled out, ''I GOT IT!'' Which made the pony and the zebra question and confused. At Fluttershy's cottage, Fluttershy was in her bed trying to fall asleep but had strange things on her mind about her feelings towards Discord. Her animal friends were there to comfort her on her comfortable, butterfly patterned bed. Do I really love him? What would my friends think about this? Does he feel the same way? She thought to herself and sneaked under her pillow to get away from the thoughts in her head. She stood up and got out of her luxurious bed and fluttered out of her window to head to somepony she could trust. Somepony with good advice. Somepony with unbiased judgement. She travelled across Ponyville to reach to the destination of her friends home, Sweet Apple Acres. She knew that no one would be up in the middle of the night so got an idea in her head. She saw a bucket full of apples next to her and searched for Apple Jack's bedroom window. She banged apples at her window to wake her up and open up the window. Apple Jack's eye widened awake and covered her ears with her pillow to go back to sleep. She could still hear the clutter so stood up from her bed and searched where the noise had came from. She saw from her window that apples were banging on the glass. She opened it and saw a yellow pegasus on the ground with a bucket of apples. She accidently threw an apple beside her and inside her room. ''Oops,'' she said, ''I'm so sorry but can you please come down?'' Apple Jack looked at her clock in her bedroom. ''Fluttershy? What are you doing here in the middle of the night, banging apples at my window?'' ''All will be answered when you come down, meet me at the log near the Everfree forest pronto,'' she fluttered away. What is she up to this time? Apple Jack thought to herself and quietly got her rope from inside her hat and threw it down the window, then tied a knot at the very end of her window sill so she could climb down it silently and not wake her family up. Fluttershy was sitting on the log next to the everfree forest, waiting for Apple Jack to come over. Few minutes later, she came over and asked her why she was needed here. Fluttershy explained, ''promise me to not tell anypony, not even your family. I chose you because Twilight would lecture me, Rarity would overreact, Rainbow Dash would freak out and Pinkie Pie...'' ''Okay, okay, I get it. So what is it you want to me talk about?'' she asked. She sighed and took a deep breath, ''well... So you know how Discord and I have been really close friends ever since I reformed him.'' ''Yeah.'' She took deep breath again, ''I think I caught feelings for him.'' She said as fast as she could. Apple Jack choked. ''I knew you would freak out!'' said Fluttershy. ''This is incredible!'' she exclaimed. ''What?'' ''I have waited so long to hear you say that and so did the others. We all knew ya two have had some chemistry going on.'' She blushed hard. Apple Jack nudged her shoulder and smirked at her. Soon after, Apple Jack asked her a question she knew she would be too embarrassed to answer but unexpectedly, she was not. ''So have ya figured out on how to confess your love towards him?'' ''That's what I wanted to talk to you about, Apple Jack.'' She looked down at the ground to hide her smile. ''I can't keep thinking about him in my sleep and I'm scared that he might end our friendship or he might not feel the same way.'' Apple Jack looked at the Everfree forest and got an idea popping in her head. ''I think I got the perfect idea.'' As they entered through the treacherous Everfree forest, they stumbled over two dead creatures. They were petrified. It smelt even worse than a timberwolves toenail. Okay, maybe because they are timberwolves. Anyways, Apple Jack saw the blood on top of them and wondered if these are the same timberwolves that killed her parents but she denied it straight away as she knew her parents death occurred in her life a long time ago. She didn't know timberwolves could die. She was terrified than ever but not as much as when she last saw her parents. ''How did this happen?'' questioned Fluttershy. ''I thought timberwolves could never die and instead kill ponies.'' ''Me too,'' said Apple Jack in a cracking voice. Fluttershy realised that cracking voice. A tear dropped from her eyes. She put her hoof around her and questioned, ''why are you crying, Apple Jack? Are you okay?'' She took a deep breath but couldn't carry on as she got a vision of her as a filly in the hospital, crying on her parents death bed. Mama, Papa, please don't die, I don't wanna leave ya. Little Apple Jack said. Apple Jack couldn't control her mind and fell on the ground unconscious on Fluttershy's lap. ''Apple Jack!'' she exclaimed.
Chapter 3: JealousyFluttershy carried Apple Jack on her back to Zecora's hut to figure out why she fainted and if there is a way to wake her up. As she reached there, she knocked on the door. Zecora woke up from her bed and walked up towards her door. She opened the door to see a yellow pegasus carrying an orange earth pony looking unconscious. She told the yellow pegasus to come inside and put the orange earth pony on the bed. ''Fluttershy? What have you come by?'' she questioned. Fluttershy shrugged her shoulders, ''she was crying and then collapsed on my lap. I tried to wake her up and feel her heartbeat but...'' She swayed her head. Zecora told her to place her body on the bed. She stirred up a soup for her to wake up and walked up towards the bed with a bowl and told Fluttershy to lift up the pony's head and make her drink the soup to make her wake up and have full energy again. In the meanwhile, Zecora touches Apple Jack's hoof, with her magical hoof, to know what has caused this faintness, perhaps she held lots of tension or brought back an old memory she couldn't handle. She went inside her brain and saw Apple Jack as a filly crying on top of two earth ponies death beds in a hospital. She wondered it could be her parents. She felt lots of sympathy for this poor little filly to feel such grief at such a young age. She placed her hoof on top of the little filly's shoulder but got sent back to her hut. As she was out of Apple Jack's brain, Fluttershy was confused on what had happened. ''Are you okay, Zecora?'' she asked. ''I am fine, I hope everything was divine whilst I was gone,'' she said whilst getting her hoof off her head for being dizzy. ''What happened to your eyes when you touched her hoof?'' Fluttershy questioned. The zebra responded, ''I went inside her brain to see what has caused this pain.'' Apple Jack woke up from her bed and noticed she is at Zecora's hut. ''What happened? How am I here, already?'' Fluttershy squealed, ''APPLE JACK! YOU ARE FINALLY AWAKE!'' ''Awake? What do ya mean?'' she said. Fluttershy looked at Zecora to tell the whole explanation and story to her. ''You were nauseous and your health was incautious.'' I'M SORRY IF I'M BAD AT RHYMES, I'M NOT CREATIVE LIKE Y'ALL. The orange earth pony twitched her eye and shivered through her spine, due to her lack of paranoia and anxiety. Fluttershy placed her hoof on her friends back to comfort her and asked her what was troubling her in her head. Apple Jack could not speak so told them she needed some fresh air so trotted off outside the door. Her yellow friend was worried sick about her. ''Zecora, I'm worried about her. What do you think happened to her? And if so, how can we make her be happy again?'' ''Do not worry my dear and do not fear because I have something to make her starry again.'' Apple Jack is walking through the woods in the rain with misery in her eyes and thoughts in her head. She kept blaming herself for her past but a piece of her kept telling her it's not her fault. She was swinging around tree branches and jumping over logs to make sure she still has the bravery and strength inside of her even though she kept doubting herself. ''If I had only known, It was the last walk in the rain, I'd keep you out for hours in the storm, I would hold your hand, Like a life line to my heart, Underneath the thunder we'd be warm, If I had only known, It was our last walk in the rain, If I had only known, I'd never hear your voice again, I'd memorize each thing you ever said, And on those lonely nights, I could think of them once more, Keep your words alive inside my head, If I had only known, I'd never hear your voice again,'' She sat down on a log and tried to make herself to stop crying and stop blaming her self for her parents death. Suddenly, a huge storm occurred in the sky and teleported down two earth ponies. One of them was a mare with beautiful teal blue eyes and orange mane with a yellow silky body. The other pony was a stallion with red mane and a yellow body with green emerald eyes. Apple Jack was appalled and mumbled, ''mama, dada...'' She came running up towards them and gave them a big, giant hug. Her mother exclaimed, ''you have grown so much my dear.'' Her father exclaimed, ''you are so beautiful, almost as beautiful like your mother.'' She replied, ''how are ya alive? I thought ya were dead.'' She sobbed in between them. They both took a glance at each other and cleared their daughters mane out the way so she could see. ''We are not alive, this is just an illusion. We came down to you as we saw you crying and we were worried about you.'' The father said whilst lifting up his daughters head to him. ''We have missed you and we are so proud of you on how much you have grown. Now, what is bothering you? What is upsetting you?'' ''I'm just scared. I feel like I can't carry on without you both, I keep blaming myself it was my fault you died but... but...'' She mumbled and started to cry again. The mother hugged her. ''Aw, hunny. We will always be with you and it isn't your fault. We love you, hunny. And we always will. Nothing can ever change that.'' The father smiled. ''Besides, we saw your brother being brave and knock some sense into those timberwolves. We can't be more proud than our little children. We also heard about your little sister's cutie mark that is matching with her friends.'' The mother said, ''you see that is proof we are always watching over you.'' Apple Jack wiped tears out of her eyes to get a clear vision. ''You mean it was him that killed those timberwolves in the forest?'' The couple nodded their heads at her. The yellow stallion then justified that it is time for them to go and got carried away with the wind, leaving the orange earth pony waving miserably to them. As they went away, Apple Jack crouched down and started crying even more. Whereas, Fluttershy came running up towards her along with a zebra walking towards the crying filly. ''Apple Jack!'' the yellow pegasus exclaimed, ''are you alright?'' ''Never been better, I just met my parents.'' ''What do you mean?'' She asked confusingly. ''Never mind. Let's just head inside Zecora's hut for some shelter and talk about why we are here in the first place.'' The two ponies and zebra walked towards the hut and head inside. Zecora created tea for herself and the two ponies and sat down comfortably. She led the orange earth pony to speak on what happened to her in the middle of the forest. ''It was amazing like all of a sudden, my parents came right in front of my eyes and were talking to me. I haven't met them in years. I missed them so much but when they said it was time for them to go, I lost it.'' Fluttershy asked, ''what do you mean? What happened to your parents?'' ''They... they...'' she took a deep breath, ''they are dead.'' ''What?'' she exclaimed. ''I'm so sorry, Apple Jack. I didn't know, I hope they are in a safer place now.'' ''It's fine, it happened a long time ago.'' ''So is that the reason why you collapsed?'' ''Yes,'' she said. ''Now enough about me. Let's talk about why we are actually here.'' She glared at the yellow pegasus. The yellow pegasus took a deep breath for her to talk. ''Well, we are here because we need some advice from you about...'' ''Discord,'' the apple pony finished. ''How interesting. He came for the exact same reason, in the same season.'' ''You mean...'' the yellow pegasus whimpered whilst Apple Jack nudged her on the shoulder. ''Ya see, he does like ya.'' Apple Jack turns back to Zecora, ''so do ya know how to make Fluttercord a thing?'' ''Fluttercord...?'' Fluttershy whimpered. Zecora replies, ''what does he love more than life, fear more than death or mortal strife. What the poor have, the rich require, and what contented he desire. What the miser spends, and the spendthrift saves. And all stallion carry to their graves.'' ''What in the hay is that supposed to mean? Have ya ever considered not talking in rhyme?'' ''I'm sorry but my rhyming is part of my culture, I will not hide it like a hidden furniture.'' Fluttershy tapped her chin by her delectable and soft hoof but got a yawn out of her mouth as she didn't have any sleep. The sun was about to rise. It was time for everypony to be awake. The yellow pegasus and the orange earth pony trotted off outside the door to go home and so Zecora can finally have her beauty rest. It wasn't that scary for them to enter the forest in the morning as most of the animals are nocturnal in the forest and practically the timberwolves are dead now, unless if there are other timberwolves still living in the forest. Besides, Fluttershy has gotten over her fear because of Discord and saving Equestia countless of times and she is now assertive. As they reached outside of the Everfree forest and trot off to Ponyville, they go back to Sweet Apple Acres so Apple Jack could bake some breakfast for the two of them and talk over what Fluttershy wanted to talk about. Fluttershy tapped both of her hooves together while speaking. ''I... well, Discord only announces me as his most dearest best friend, nothing more than that... and if he did like me then he would of told me because... well, he is brave.'' ''Oh. Fluttershy,'' said Apple Jack. ''Don't you see? he is only calling you a best friend because he thinks you may make fun of him for calling you something else and just because he is...'' She clears her throat. ''Brave, that does not mean he is also brave at telling his true feelings. It looks like he wants you to tell your feelings to him so he can as well.'' ''But Apple Jack, what if you may be wrong and I make a fool of myself and he end our friendship right there.'' Apple Jack puts her hoof on Fluttershy's shoulder. ''Hun, it's very obvious that he like ya back. I mean everypony in Equestia but you knows. Plus, why would he break the friendship when all he wanted was friends? Also, if ya don't mind me asking, how did ya even fall in love with him?'' Fluttershy widened her eyes and squeaked down under the table. Apple Jack dragged her back up and then took a deep breath. ''Well, our friendship got stronger overtime when he was betrayed by Tirek abandoning him. I forgave him again and again. We started writing letters and having tea parties. I let him spread his chaos in my cottage and I gotten used to his jokes.'' ''Wow,'' the orange earth pony said. ''That's one strong friendship right there and I don't want ya to break that so maybe give the both of ya some space and then tell your feelings to each other.'' She takes a deep breath, ''okay.'' ''Great,'' she said. ''I have to go back to my chores now, I'll talk with ya later.'' Fluttershy flutters back to her cottage and finds a teal blue pegasus with candy floss mane at her door. She landed behind him, folding her wings and greeted him. ''Hi, little brother!'' she said. ''What are you doing here?'' ''Hey, Flutter Brutter! How is my closet, big sister ever?'' he asked while messing up her mane. ''I just found this golden ticket on your doorstep and I would just like to say mom and dad would be so proud to be getting a ticket to the most awesome party ever! So the question is... can I go?'' Discord scatters through the sky to find Fluttershy. He sees a yellow pegasus on the ground, in front of her cottage, with a blue teal pegasus stallion. He lands on the ground, behind a tree to see what all the fuss is about. He sees a yellow pegasus with a golden ticket and a teal pegasus trying to persuade her to give him the ticket as plus one. Discord was furious in flames of jealousy. He trotted with his mis-matched legs towards them to protect Fluttershy from any stallion that's trying to hook up with the flawless yellow little pegasus. ''Hi Fluttershy!'' he exclaimed. ''Oh,'' she said. ''Hi, Discord! Long time no see.'' ''I know,'' he replied, ''care to introduce me to this fine colt?'' ''Uh, sure. Zephyr, this is Discord. My... my... friend. And Discord, this is my brother.'' ''Brother, aye? You don't say, and by the way,'' He hugs Fluttershy tightly. ''We are indeed the best of friends.'' Zephyr Breeze darts at his sister, whereas the yellow pegasus blushes on Discord's words, but a little bit of misery in her eyes since she wanted him to announce something more than friends between them. ''So, Discord. What are you doing here?'' Fluttershy asked friendly. ''I'm here because I thought I saw a golden ticket handing out to somepony,'' he said. ''Oh, I was thinking about it.'' She folded her wings. ''Who are you bringing to the gala if by any chance you did get a ticket just like last time.'' ''Oh, I haven't gotten it yet my dear but if I don't, make sure to keep that plus one position all clean for me, alright?'' He was about to blush but to get away with the pink strain on his face, he had to go. ''Now, I have to go...'' He picks up Starlight's laundry. ''Go do Starlight's laundry. Alright, tata!'' Discord magically disappears, leaving Fluttershy with a pensive facial expression on her face. Twilight comes into Starlight's bedroom with slamming the door open in a complete shocked facial expression and holding a basket up in the air to show her there is no dirty clothes in it so she assumes she put it in the wash. ''Since when did you do the laundry, Starlight Glimmer?'' said Twilight surprisingly. Starlight Glimmer put down her book on her bed and got off her bed and trotted off in front of Twilight and the basket. ''I didn't... I mean, yeah! I definitely did the laundry today!'' She chuckled slightly which made Twilight's eyebrows flinch at her. ''Is there something you are hiding from me?'' Discord comes popping inside the room and greets the two ponies by a big and giant hug. ''HELLO MATEYS!'' ''Oh,'' said Twilight. ''Hey, Discord. What are you doing here?'' she asked while getting squished. The draconequus lets the two ponies down on the floor and floats up in the air with a laying down position and two of his mis-matched arms relaxing on his horse-like face. ''I'm actually here because...'' He mumbles, ''well... I need some advice.'' ''Advice?'' Starlight questioned confusingly with her eyebrow flinched. ''Yes,'' he responded. ''I need some advice on about...'' He wobbles his mouth and stutters. ''Fluh... Tuh... Shy...'' Both of the unicorns widened their eyes and was in complete silence. It was Twilight who broke the long silence. She darts her eyes at Starlight Glimmer that is laughing. ''Are you, are you asking me for some... love advice?'' ''What? No! Well, uhm... yes. But if you tell anypony then I will turn you into a haystack and feed you to Starlight.'' Twilight pounces and replies with, ''alright.'' She clears her throat. ''Well, if you are willing to ask Fluttershy out and you two are really, really close friends then give her something she would love and if you are not comfortable, write a letter to her about your feelings but it's more easier to confess face-to-face.'' Discord holds her mouth tight to stop talking even more. ''Okay, to tell you the truth I did not expect a lecture and even if you are right that still doesn't make up the fact you can't love somepony. It will only lead to pain.'' The two ponies dart their eyes at each other. Discord teleports off to Fluttershy's cottage. He holds a rose in his paw in a silky black suit with a red bow tie to suit the flower colour. He also wear black shiny shoes and nicely done combed mane. He knocks on the door gently and realises that there is no sound coming from the door. He looked in every window of the cottage but some of them were blocked with curtains in the way. There was a window uncovered, he couldn't see any yellow pegasus but just animals. He wondered if she might be at her sanctuary so he trotted away from the cottage. He sees two ponies walking along together so he jumps inside a bush to hide from them and eavesdrop... I mean, observe over these two ponies. He sees a light brown pegasus with yellow mane touching the yellow pegasuses chest with his brown-coloured hoof. Just by that, Discord was raging in anger and flames. The brown pegasus was about to kiss Fluttershy. Discord's heart broke and zoomed off into the sky. Fluttershy backed away and yelled, ''why in Equestia would you do that?'' The brown pegasus shivered. ''I thought you... you liked me.'' ''I never said I did! Now get out!'' ''But...'' ''Now!'' The pegasus shivers in the air and lands on the ground again to get a head start to zoom into the sky.
Chapter 4: HeartbrokenA rainbow maned, blue cyan pegasus was resting on a comfortable, luxurious and delectable cloud during the evening as she was tired with what all the wonderbolt training she has been doing all day under Spitfire's wing, so she decided it would be best for her to take a nap. Suddenly, a pink cotton candy cloud moves slowly towards Rainbow Dash's cloud. She wondered if a familiar draconquus she knows has something to do with this but she could not find anyone on top of it, so she got into the perfect position on her cloud again and go back to her nap. A few moments later, the draconquus materializes right next to the rainbow maned pegasus and frightens her to wake up. ''AHHH!'' she screamed. ''Discord? What in the wide world of Equestia would you wake me up for?'' she said aggressively. ''So sorry to wake you up, my little pony,'' he said. ''But I am here to...'' He materializes a hoofball in his paw and spins it in the air. ''Play some hoofball with you.'' ''Not right now,'' she stammered. ''Can't you see I'm trying to have a nap here after a long day? Now go find Fluttershy and leave me alone.'' He vanquishes the ball away. ''Fine, party pooper ponies.'' He departed off to his other friends, whereas Rainbow Dash pulled out two small parts of the cloud and plucked it up in her ears to fall back to sleep again and not have any interruptions to destruct her sleep again. Meanwhile, he materialized inside Rarity's boutique to check on what she has been up to and wonder if she has any free time to hang out with her friends. Discord was extremely heartbroken so to get away with the heartache, he distracts himself with hanging out with ponies. ''Hi, Rarity!'' he exclaimed. ''Are you free today?'' Rarity hums along while sewing up gala dresses and was too distracted to hear Discord. Until, she sees Discord laying upon her bed. ''Oh, Discord. I didn't see you there, darling. What can I do for you? Are you here for a gala suit?'' ''Gala suit...?'' ''Why, yes. We are not entering the gala with no clothes on. We have to act professional and efficient, after all this is the most prominent party in all of Equestia.'' He smooths out his beard to think he should have Rarity make a suit for him for the gala in order to impress Fluttershy. He then twitches his eye and remembers that Fluttershy does not like him after the... kiss. ''Discord?'' she said. ''Is everything alright? Are you okay?'' Discord sways his head to get away from his thoughts. ''Huh? Oh, yes. I so do want a brilliant suit for the Grand Galloping Gala that is coming up and... I... I... I need to... sp... speak...'' ''Just say it, darling.'' ''I NEED TO SPEAK WITH YOU!'' Rarity was startled at his tone and widened her eyes. ''About what?'' she asked. He fidgeted with his disembodied and mis-matched hands. The very tip of his tail formed into the shape of a heart but broke apart, luckily for him she didn't see his variety of symptoms of heartbreak. He turned paler than usual and sweated. His body temperature was as warm as a strove. His heart was filled with a school of students who's brains were burning and wrecked the whole building. That's how heartbroken he was to tell somepony about his feelings. Of course, if he hadn't saw them kiss, he still wouldn't tell anypony as he knew ponies would only judge him. Why would Fluttershy like the Lord of Chaos back? His appearance, his past, his attitude, his mistakes. Finally, Discord shook his head out of the dark thoughts and got a word out of his mouth. But he still fidgeted with his disembodied hands. He puckered his face and screwed up his eyes. ''I caught Fluttershy kissing another stallion.'' ''You what? But she could never, she lo... I mean, I can't imagine Fluttershy the kissing type.'' Discord flinched his eyebrows at her, only for her to appear a pensive facial expression on. He then matched her expression and kneeled down on the floor with his hands scrunched up. ''What's the point of loving somepony when you only know they wouldn't love you back and break your heart!'' Rarity widened her eyes and opened her mouth in shock. ''Y- You... LOVE HER? WE KNEW IT!'' Discord was blushing harder than ever. He turned as red as a tomato. But he denied his love for her immediately. If Discord didn't love Fluttershy then why did he feel heartbroken after they nearly kissed? Why did he always stick up for her every time no matter if anypony would embarrass them? Did he really love her more than a friend or is he just too good into denying his affections towards her? Rarity examined the blush on his cheek. ''I think it's finally time to tell you that Fluttershy likes you back as well. I mean, if she didn't then she wouldn't stood up for you all the time and be overprotective. She also wouldn't of invite you to her tea parties all the time if she didn't like you.'' ''Fluttershy and I are just friends and she perfectly explained it through a kiss. Also, how would you know about love? Romantic EXPERT!'' Rarity stopped her magic and dropped her measurement tape on the ground as she sat down. Discord aggressively stormed out through the boutique. Discord was walking through Ponyville and saw so many ponies exchanging gifts and kisses. He saw Lyra and Bon Bon giving each other gifts and kissing each other. He thought to himself that even LGBTQ+ ponies can get together but he can't even win one little delicate pony's heart. He also saw Derpy and Dr. Hooves kissing each other. Even a pony who is different... Different, that's it! It's him being different that is preventing Fluttershy from liking him. Why would a shy and graceful pony love a hideous monster that did lots of mistakes in the past? Though, everypony does mistakes in order to be perfect and there was lots of former villains that were forgiven so many times: Starlight Glimmer, Trixie Lulamoon, Sunset Shimmer, Tempest Shadow, Princess Luna, the changlings. So why did people keep bringing up his past? Just because he is still identified as the Lord of Chaos and has disembodied parts, doesn't mean he is still evil. The only reason why he still act chaotic is because it's in his nature or else he will disappear just like in the episode, ''Discordant Harmony.'' But thanks to Fluttershy, he managed to stop fading away. He also hates how Princess Twilight Sparkle is worshipped and praised all the time. There shouldn't even be such a thing as leadership in friendship groups, just for countries and kingdoms to lead them and provide them with supplies. It just looks like Twilight is all high and mighty. Why does she get all the fame and glory? There is no such thing as ''perfect.'' They are making it look like Twilight is the only special one just because she was Princess Celestia's faithful student. Anyways, Discord was tired of thinking and wanted to get away with these thoughts in his mind and hurting in his heart. He found a tree branch he could rest on so materialized up there and slowly slid his eyes closed to sleep. Meanwhile, Fluttershy was preparing the tea party for Discord as it was Tuesday. She waited for seconds and then seconds turned into minutes. She was tired of waiting so she slowly relaxed her eyelids and closed them to sleep. In the morning, Fluttershy woke up and yawned. Discord was still not here nor contacted her about why he wasn't able to come yesterday. She began to worry. He never once had missed a tea party before. What if something had happened to him? What if she could possibly had potentially hurt him? But I don't remember doing anything that could of hurt him. She thought to herself. She stood up from her chair and quickly drank her tea to refill and energise herself in order to search for her closest best friend. She flew out of the window but quickly came back inside to tell Angel bunny to behave and take care of the place. ''You be good now, Angel bunny. Take care of this place till I'm gone and don't worry, you won't feel lonely. I'll only be gone for a few minutes and...'' Angel bunny was tapping his foot on the floor with his arms folded against his chest. This caught Fluttershy's attention to listen and quickly went outside of the window again. Angel bunny trotted towards the window and closed it. Fluttershy came back to the window but it was closed. Fortunately, she could hear nothing so she assumed everything was fine. She flew away from her cottage to begin her search for her fellow draconequus friend. Fluttershy searched everywhere in Ponyville for her friend. She even checked in Starlight Glimmer's bedroom, to be precise in her sock drawer. She also flew all around cloudsdale. She sat down on a cloud to rest but realised it looking oddly shaped. She picked up the layers of the cloud but couldn't find any pony or creature. Fluttershy then travelled to Sweet Apple Acres to ask the apple family if they had any chance of Discord coming here or if they had seen him anywhere. ''Discord?'' said Apple Jack. ''No, I haven't seem him anywhere. Come to think of it, I haven't seem him all week and weren't you two supposed to have a tea party yesterday as it was Tuesday?'' ''That's what I am here for, Apple Jack,'' she stammered. ''He didn't attend at all yesterday nor given me a letter saying so. I'm so worried about him, what if something had happened to him? What if he's mad at me?'' ''I wouldn't stress too much about him, after all he is the Lord of Chaos. He can protect himself with his magic.'' ''I guess you are right,'' said Fluttershy. ''And also, do you mind if I take some apples off your hooves? You see Angel bunny has been feeling a lot stressed lately.'' ''I'm not surprised,'' she responded. ''You are stressed as well but sure, just take the whole basket over there.'' She gestured over towards the basket full of apples sitting next to a already-picked tree. ''Thank you so much, Apple Jack!'' She flew over to the basket and laid it on her back to trot out of Sweet Apple Acres and find her friend then put these apples in her cottage. Fluttershy was walking through Ponyville with a basket full of apples. Alternatively, she sees a rattle snake tail hanging from a tree branch. She tilted her head up to see if it belongs to somepony (or somecreature) she knows. She sees her draconquus friend and calls out his name. ''Discord!'' she shouts. The draconequus twitches his eye to the sound of the delicate voice he promised himself to never hear that voice again, with what had happened. He looks down on the ground and sees the yellow pegasus. She was still attractive to him. He quickly rotates his head to the position where he was minding his own business. Fluttershy was confused why he had ignored her like that. Perhaps he didn't hear her low voice. If that's so then why did he quickly turned his head away after he saw her? She called out for Discord again and this time she wanted an explanation to why Discord ignored her when she first called him. ''Discord!'' she shouted again. ''Why are you ignoring me?'' Discord thought to himself, I can't ignore this sweet little pony forever. He shook his head. No. If she's so innocent then why did she kiss that stallion? Oh, who am I kidding? I can't ignore her and... perhaps I should tell my feelings, even if I get hurt. Just go for it, Discord. What is it you got to lose? Another piece of him replied with, Fluttershy. Discord with a pensive facial expression flew down to the ground beside the yellow pegasus. They both stared at each other for a while until Fluttershy broke the silence. ''Hey.'' ''Hey.'' ''Is everything okay, Discord?'' she asked with puppy eyes. ''What do you mean?'' he asked. ''Everything is perfectly fine.'' He turned away to prevent her from seeing him sulking. ''Then why didn't you come to our tea party? I was so worried about you, I searched everywhere in Ponyville looking for you. I was so stressed that something might have had happened to you.'' ''You did? You were? I'm sorry, my dear Fluttershy for causing you so much stress but you shouldn't risk yourself in finding me. I already learnt a long time ago that there was no way a beautiful and graceful pony like you could ever like me back. I'm a hideous monster full of hatred and mistakes.'' He puckered his face to the ground and curled up. ''I didn't need a kiss to learn that.'' Fluttershy widened her eyes in shock. ''Y- You like me? And that's not true! You are a great friend who has always stood up for me everytime and what do you mean kiss...?'' ''Don't lie to me, Fluttershy. I know you kissed that brown pegasus. I saw.'' ''What? Kiss...? Brown pegasus...? Oh... Discord, I didn't kiss him. In fact, I pushed away when he was trying to kiss me because... I... well,'' she blushed and sat next to him. She looked directly into his eyes to say her final words. ''I love you.'' Discord widened his eyes in disbelief. He could not believe what he was hearing. Did she really love him? He must have had hay in his ears. ''You... do?'' Fluttershy relaxed her head on him. ''Yes, you big softie.'' She took her head off him and looked directly into his eyes and leaned in closer for a lingering and long kiss. Discord was shocked in disbelief. He slowly closed his eyes to enjoy the wonderful moment. It felt good to kiss her. Her lips tasted like strawberries and sugar, let alone her beauty. Her teal eyes were beautiful for him to look at especially her stare was so mesmerising to resist. This flawless little pony, this delicate and graceful little pony loves him back. Looks like his love life isn't so messed up after all as he thought. The two love birds didn't want the kiss to end. It felt like an eternity and Discord should know that because he spent that time in stone. Unfortunately, they both needed some air to breathe so slowly pulled away from each other and slightly blushed. ''That was...'' Discord started to say. ''Nice,'' Fluttershy completed. All of a sudden, a pink dynamic earth pony popped from out of the bushes and startled the two love birds, along with three other candy corn fillies. Fluttershy and Discord both turned red that they were getting spied on. ''THE FLUTTERCORD SHIP HAS FINALLY SAILED!'' Pinkie Pie shouted while having a paper hat boat on her head and celebrating with confetti and balloons. ''That was so romantic,'' Sweetie Belle sighed flirtingly. Scootaloo stuck her tongue out in disgust. ''Yuck! Talk about disgusting.'' Apple Bloom playfully nudged her in the shoulders. ''DO IT AGAIN!'' Pinkie Pie shouted. ''AGAIN! AGAIN AGAIN! AGAIN!'' Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom joined along. ''Oh, great. Don't tell me you two are in this too?'' said Scootaloo, seeing the two fillies smiling at her innocently. Fluttershy blushed slightly and buried her face into her soft and pink rose petalled mane. Discord swiped her delicate mane away from her face and leaned in closer for another lingering kiss again. They all adored in awe except for Scooterloo who was too busy sticking her tongue out. Author's Note Yay! I finally finished this story and I really like how I ended this, it was cute!
