Oh,The Laughter Which We Share

"Every dream is the same. The concept behind it,anyway. What do they mean? Are they trying to take over me? Are they trying to control me? Hurt me? .... Or help me?" Discord's voice whirled in his mind,as the visions he saw in his sleep dreaded him waking up. Suddenly,he heard a faint noise. "Dis-" .... "Discord.." .... He instantly awoke,drenched in cold sweat. Fluttershy gasped,"Sorry,Discord...But you were laughing in your sleep." He looked at Fluttershy,and sighed with relief. "What are you doing sleeping out here,anyway?" She asked worriedly,"You know you're always welcome to sleep at my house." Discord looked at Fluttershy,and said,"Well,I was just taking a stroll last night,and I guess I was too tuckered out to go back to Ponyville." ... Fluttershy looked at him suspiciously. "Well,okay. Just be more careful next time..okay? I wouldn't want you getting hurt,or lost,friend." She gave him a comforting smile. Discord smiled back,feeling secure. Fluttershy galloped off back to Ponyville,Discord at her side. Discord knew the things he's been picturing in his sleep,he couldn't tell Fluttershy,his only friend. He'd lose her if he did. There was only one pony he could tell. A pony whom shares the same evil desires he does... Nightmare Moon. He waited all day,till nightfall,to return to the Everfree Forest,to see if he caught any sign of her.

Sooner or later,at about midnight,Discord felt drowsy,and dazed...But suddenly saw her in the sky.. "Psst!!" He screeched. She flew right down beside him as she noticed his whispering call. "Yes,Discord?" She grinned smugly.

Discord gave her a serious look,"I need to talk to you about something. It's been going on recently." ... "Oh? What is it?" ... "I've been having these...dreams...these..nightmares." ... "Really?...Are they like the evil plots in your head?" she asked. "Well,yes..." He replied quietly,"Just..take a look." ... Nightmare moon casted a spell,in which she can access his recent dreams.

She looked deep within his mind. She saw many things... Ponies with severed limbs,stitches,empty eye sockets..and some looked quite starved. There were decapitation chambers,drills,and saw machines that were used to torture ponies. To top it all off,laughing maniacally,sitting on a throne above them all,was Discord,wearing a crown,dripping with the ponies' blood.

She tried looking deeper... Then she saw the icing on the cake. Twilight Sparkle,and all of her friends,dead. Bodies being burned to fuel the very soul that is this monster...Discord. The dreams started fading... Just about as fast as her smile appeared. "These nightmares,Discord...Are the very inspiration we need." She whispered in a fierce tone. He looked at her,without his heart thinking twice,and smiled.
