A Butterfly Over Chaos

In 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.
