Chaotic Crush
Pleasant Picnic
Previous ChapterNext ChapterDiscord knocks on Fluttershy's door, the first time he's done so in a while. Normally he would just appear in her house in a loud and brash manner, but this time, he wanted to respect her privacy.
Fluttershy answers the door with a somewhat confused expression. "Oh, hello, Discord."
"Hello Fluttershy. I came to ask… would you like to join me on a nice little picnic this evening?" Discord asks nervously.
"A picnic? Oh, that sounds nice. Sure!"
"Perfect!" Discord says, before snapping his fingers and teleporting both of them.
After a moment of disorientation, Fluttershy finds herself sitting on a picnic blanket with little hearts embossed into each square.
Discord opens a picnic basket and offers her a sandwich. "I made them myself," he says proudly.
Fluttershy takes it, noticing it has been cut into a heart shape.
"Such lovely weather we have today."
Fluttershy replies, "It sure is." Her expression lowers in confusion.
"I know I'm not one known for having spontaneous picnics, but I had something special planned for the occasion."
"I could tell something was up, but didn't want to say anything."
"Well, you don't have to. I will."
"Okay, what is it?"
"Anything."
Fluttershy snickers before staring at Discord for the real answer.
"Okay, okay. I planned us a quaint little picnic date."
Fluttershy blushes slightly. "Like a romantic date?"
"Yes, do you like it so far?"
Fluttershy's blush intensifies, and she says in a quieter voice, "Yes."
Discord blushes before he eats one of the sandwiches from the basket.
After they have both finished eating, Fluttershy asks, "What's next?"
Discord lays down on the blanket and stares up at the sky. "I figured we could watch the clouds together."
"Sounds very serene," Fluttershy says before lying down too.
Discord points up at a cloud. "Look, it's the formula for cold fusion!"
Fluttershy tries to find it but can't. "I don't see it." She points at a cloud herself. "Oh look, its Rarity!"
"That's cute." He looks around for a new cloud before pointing to it. "Do you see this one, it's clearly a septendecillion-sided die."
"Uhm, no, I can't see it, sorry." Fluttershy finds her next cloud and points. "It's Twilight playing chess with Pinkie!"
Discord smiles. "Oh, that's a good one, but do you see that one," — he points at a new cloud. — "it's the Mandelbrot Set."
"I can kinda see it, oh look!" She points to a new cloud. "It's the script for the story we are in!"
"Wait, let me see that." Discord reads the cloud before saying, "I like how it ends."
Fluttershy giggles before Discord joins in with her.
Discord sits up before offering his hand to pull Fluttershy up. She takes it, and they sit there staring at each other.
Fluttershy asks, "So, how did the story end?"
"Well, I have a question for you…"
They both blush.
"Fluttershy, will you go out with me?"
Fluttershy pulls Discord into a tight hug. "Yes."
Discord hugs back. "I couldn't actually read the ending, by the way."
They both giggle together in the loving embrace.
