The Elements of Disharmony

"God I hope this works." Cruelty said walking on that same road that he carried Flutter Shy on.
"Hopefully they let me stay." He thought about that night.
"Beautiful aren't they." Cruelty said to Flutter Shy
"What are?"
"The stars"
"You know I never thought about it. But yes they are quite nice huh."
"Yeah they remind me of old times, good times." He stopped daydreaming.
"Ok left or right. Well I'm on the opposite side so right?" He started to go. Then he stopped and walked the other way.
"No this way." He started but then thought.
"No, this doesn't feel right." He sat down to think about it.
"Jeez, of course they send the directionally challenge one."
"Good morning Cruelty."
"Morning, now back to thinking." He stared at the ground thinking extraordinarily hard.
"Wait a second. Who just said good morning to me?" He looked up and to his right to see Rarity.
"Might as well ask. Hey wait up." He said running to Rarity. "Yes." She said waiting for a response. Out of breath he said
"Hold on, give me a sec."
"Are you really that tired?"
"I haven't run in one hundred years. I forgot how much I hate it. Anyways, where is the purple unicorns' house?" she stopped and stared at him for a second.
"You forgot that quick?"
"I'm directionally challenged ok."
"It's the other way. On this exact road." She said holding in a laugh.
"Okay. I can do this. Thanks." He turned around and held his head high. Walking straight forward. Not stopping. Except for the flowers he picked up for Flutter Shy. "Ok I made it. It took me a while, but I did it. God I'm awesome." He knocked on the door, but nothing happened. Then from inside he heard.
"Spike who's at the door."
"How should I know? I'm busy."
"You can't even take a look?"
"Busy."
"I swear you are the most laziest dragon I know."
"I'm the only dragon you know."
"I've met other dragons before. Remember the dragon that was going to cover Equestria in smoke?"
"He was sleeping though."
"I know he was. Now go answer the door."
"Fine." The young dragon opened the door.
"Yes?"
"Is this a bad time?" He said looking inside for Flutter Shy.
"A little bit."
"Spike who is it."
"It's the colt from last night. What's your name?" He said looking at the white furred colt.
"Cruelty." Spike turned around.
"Cruelty."
“Tell him to come up stairs."
"Okay." Spike turned around
"Got that?" The colt just stood there speechless. Reflecting on what just happened. "You know I thought I was Weird but I think you just topped me."
"I what?" Spike said thrusting out his chest.
"Calm down stud it was just a joke." Cruelty said walking inside of the library.
"You live in a library?" Cruelty said looking around?
"Yeah and? Where do you live?" Spike said giving him the look.
"A coffee shop, ok valid point." He said as he started walking up stairs. At the top he found the purple unicorn lying on her bed. He stood there just to look at his surroundings.
"Yes?" She said without even looking at him.
"It's funny I don't even know your name. What is that again?" He said about to sit on the chair.
"Twilight Sparkle."
"Well then Twilight Sparkle I need you to help me." She looked at him and put the book down.
"With?"
"Girls." She started laughing.
"No I'm serious." She stopped and looked at him and started walking closer.
"You want help with girls?" She walked up to him. So close there lips were almost touching.
"What kind of help." She said looking at him with eyes of lust.
"With Flutter Shy." He said while she still gazed at him. Then she said,
"Like?" Raising one eyebrow in curiosity.
"What is she into, what does she like, what are her hobbies?" She looked at him with passion in her eyes then turned around.
"Sorry can’t help you." He Stuttered
"What? Why can't you help me?" He said confused.
"Because maybe I want you?"
"Sorry that's not going to happen. I find one pony and don't stray."
"Loyalty eh?" She said looking back at him. "I like that in a colt."
"What is wrong with you? You seem different than before." He started to look at the book she was reading. The label said, "Spells of love." Oh that's why.
"Ok give me a second." He powered up his horn and did an anti-love spell that he learned from Magic a little while ago. Twilight fell face first to the ground.
"God damn it. Again. Well I better do the same thing as before.
‘Spike can you get me a wet rag?’“
"Busy." He sighs
"Well it was worth a shot." He grabbed a blanket and put her on the bed she was on before.
"You know I should carry around spare blankets. This seems to happen more than usual." He thought as he put a blanket on her.
"Alright, nailed it. Time to go." He walked downstairs to see spike making something.
"She's unconscious for the moment. She'll be up in a while." Spike without turning around says.
"Okay, whatever." Cruelty walked out the door. Spike sat there for a moment. "Wait what did he say?"

"You know I feel like that could have gone better. Anyways, Flutter Shy. But how do I get there?" He thought as he saw Pinkie Pie. "There's a time in every colts life where he has to ask a overly happy pink pony where a tree is. Now's my time to shine." He walks over to Pinkie Pie and says,
"Hey can you show me which way to go to get to Flutter Shy's house?" Nailed it Cruelty. You're a genius.
"I can take you there. Come on."
Nice now I even have someone with me so I don't get lost. That went better than expected. He followed the bouncing pony all the way around the town. Finally they got to the cottage.
"You know I have a feeling that a third of that trip was pointless, but thanks anyways."
"Don't mention it." She looked at him dead in the eyes and stopped bouncing. "Really don't mention this to anybody. Especially the reader."
He stood there dumb struck. "What?"
She started to bounce back to the town. "Bye." She said looking back.
"What?" He stood there for a few minutes wondering what just happened. "...What?" He heard singing.
"Okay whatever that was I will never speak of this again." He slowly turned around and started to follow where the singing was.
"Where are you?" He finally stumbled across Flutter Shy. He found out it wasn't just her singing birds were also singing with her. He stood there for a moment. Admiring her singing voice. Then he Thought, "Great now I'm a stalker."
He walked out from his little hiding spot and waited until she was done.
"That was beautiful."
She turned around startled. "Oh it's just you."
"Yep just me and might I say that you look pretty today."
"Thanks." She looked at the ground blushing.
"I brought you flowers." He reached into his saddlebag and pulled out dried up lilies and dandelions. "Oh. I guess that tour was longer that expected. How is that even possible”?
"They look great." She said walking up to him. She grabbed the dried up flowers from him.
"But they are all dried up." He said confused.
"It's not what they look like but what the purpose of them are." She said handing them to some birds that took them in the direction of her house. Then he thought, "Lucretia once told me that." He smiled for a second.
"I never thanked you for last night." She said in a sweet tone.
"Well I didn't have much of a choice now did I?" Then they just stood there staring into each other’s eyes. Until Cruelty said
"Did...did you want to go out." She looked at the ground and blushed
"Oh well I haven’t... well I haven't thought about it." He walked over to her and lifted her face to his. She started to breathe heavily. “Over the thousand years of living I have never met someone like you. There is nothing I would change about you. Until time ends I promise you this. No one will hurt you. Not with me around. No one…” Then he leaned in and kissed her. After what felt like hours she pulled back and said, "Where would you want to go?" Cruelty thought about it for a moment.
"This upcoming Friday, there is a party in Canterlot for Princess Luna. It's her one-year anniversary of coming back from the moon. What do you say?" She blushes. After a moment looking into his eyes she leans in and says,
"Yes." She then kisses him and Cruelty felt different. He felt something he never felt before. Not since Lucretia. He felt alive. That kiss lasted for eternity. At least he thought so. The rest of the night they went to a place with yellow flowers that matched Flutter Shy's skin, and they watched the stars...
