Hello, everypony, and welcome to the first chapter of Maiden Mare! The first few chapters do NOT belong to me. They were in fact written by the marvelous discordflutter. She needed somepony to take over the story and chose me! I will tell when the writing becomes my own, but until then, enjoy!
Fluttershy remembered that day 10 years ago as clearly as a newly washed mirror. Her father had died of a horrible disease, and Fluttershy, her sisters, and their mother were left with nothing but an old run down barn and house that could only house one pony. Their lives were miserable after that for those 10 years. Her 2 eldest sisters had gotten married and made some money by getting jobs, but it soon disappeared for food for their starving family.
After those painful years, Fluttershy grew into a strong mare, learning that starvation isn't her worst enemy, but losing each other was. Her mane and tail still had the soft curl to it, and her eyes were still big and a beautiful shade of turquoise. Most stallions couldn't help but stare at her as she walked through town square like she normally does every Monday, with her butter cream colored fur and lovely light pink mane. No pony in town could tell that she was really suffering underneath her fur. Her mother worried about her, since she was the only one in her family that wasn't already married or had a coltfriend. She had 4 other sisters: Cheerilee, Cadence, Celestia, and Luna. Anyone could tell the family resemblance, except for their mother and Luna. They all had light colored fur while Luna and their mother, have dark fur. Celestia, Cadence, and Luna all inherited their mother's height, so all of them tower over everypony else in the town, while Cheerilee and Fluttershy are the same height as everypony else.

Fluttershy's View:
One spring day, the messenger, Derpy Whooves came to the door.
"Hello, is a Madame Chrysalis here?" she asked me, holding a letter in her hoof.
"Yes she is, let me go get her for you." I told her walking back into the house.
"Mother! Mother the messenger is here to see you!" I called out.
I saw her coming down the stairs. She is an alicorn changling with a spiderweb mane. She has holes in her hooves like swiss cheese. Some ponies still cringe at the sight of her, but most ponies in town have gotten used to her.
"I have a message for you!" Derpy told Mother.
"Thank you." She told her. She took the note and slammed the door. I sometimes feel bad for Derpy when ponies slam their doors in her face.
Chrysalis read the letter to herself, then all of a sudden, "Yes! They have accepted!" she cried out.
"What is it?" Luna asked coming down the stairs. Her dark blue mane was in a ponytail.
"They have accepted our request to be maids at the Duchess' mansion!" She told us.
Luna and I looked at each other in confusion. "What are you talking about?" I asked her.
"Well, I sent a letter to the Duchess of Equestria and asked if they were hiring new maids, and she said yes! I thought it will help us since Cheerilee and Cadence left and moved somewhere else and with Celestia gone at the university, no one works in this house, so I decided that we could be maids for Duchess Twilight Sparkle!" She told us.
I gasped. "You mean Twilight Sparkle, my old play mate?"
"Yes."
I couldn't believe it! I hadn't seen Twilight in years! Now I get to be her maid!
"So, what day are we reporting to the mansion?" Luna asked.
"Tomorrow."

"Daddy! Filou broke off part of my horn!" A young draconequus whined.
"Don't worry, it will grow back." His father told him.
"But Filou did something bad, and when I do something bad you yell at me. Why aren't you going to do anything to him?" He asked his dad.
"Well Discord, Filou is a lot younger than you. Also I know you broke off part of your horn just so you could get Filou in trouble." His father told him with a disappointed look on his face.
"But I didn't! Filou did!" whined Discord.
"I will hear nothing of it. Now go and be a good draconequus and don't bother me." His dad told him.
Discord growled and walked away. "Why doesn't he get in trouble? Whenever I do something bad, they blame me, but when Filou does something bad, they blame me!" Discord said thinking aloud.
"Well, I guess that means I'm the better son and will be a success when I grow up!" Filou snickered, coming up to Discord. "I won't be surprised when all you do for a living is work in a pig sty." Filou told him, and walked away.
Discord scowled. "I'll show him. I'll show everyone who I am and what I can do." He told himself, as he walked away.

"Discord, you are found guilty for the murder of Miss Rainbow Dash." The judge told the teenage draconequus . There weren't that many ponies there, except Rainbow's boyfriend, Soarin, her parents, her friends, the lawyers, and a young draconequus in the way back, snickering. Discord was at the front in front of the judge's podium. He had metal handcuffs around his wrists. What are they talking about? Discord thought. I didn't kill anypony. Who even is this Rainbow Dash?
"You are sentenced to twenty years in prison, for the assassination a poor, innocent, Pegasus pony." The judge told him, looking all high and mighty in his seat. Someponies tried to hold in the laughs when he said "poor innocent Pegasus pony" She was definitely not poor or innocent.
A sudden thought struck Discord. Assassination? They think I killed somepony? Is that what they think I am? A murderer? If that's what they want, so be it. He thought to himself. Suddenly a voice popped into his head. Do you seriously want them to change your opinion on yourself? I mean come on, it's obvious it was your brother, since I saw the whole thing with my own two eyes. Don't change who you are because of some stupid mistake someponys have made. But it was too late for that. It already came to him.
"You think I'm an assassin? You think I would kill somepony? Well then, I suppose I must now live up to your expectations." He said with an evil grin on his face. Before anypony could say anything, he was gone, with a snap of his fingers.

Down in the basement of the Canterlot Castle, in the most secure prison cell around, a draconequus statue stood, with only the company of the rats and the two guards guarding the prison. It had a pose of confidence and stood with hate in its eyes. No pony knew that he would give anything to have revenge on his older brother.
"Why do we have to guard this statue? It's not like it's going to come to life or anything like that." One guard told the other. No pony had been in the old prison for years, and next thing everypony knew, a draconequus statue is put into one of the cells.
As the two guards stood in front of the prison cell, a sudden drowsiness came over them. They both fell fast asleep on the stone floor. The statue started cracking, and soon the stone was peeled off, revealing a teenage draconequus. He smiled evilly. "You boys should really study Equestrian history. I was trapped like that for 20 years." He told the sleeping guards. He snapped, and was outside the cell. "Now, to find my brother and make him pay." He then turned into a red and black alicorn stallion and left leaving a note on the wall saying: "No pony can stop Filou, the trickster of Equestria."
So how'd you like it? Again, this chapter is NOT mine. If you did not know that, then please go back up to the top and read the AN. I plan on having the next chapter out within minutes of this one, so I guess I'll figuratively see you soon!
