A Day with Dipcord
WARNIG: There are most likely a lot of spelling and grammar errors in this story because I had to finish this fast. I do not own MLP. Please review!
Rainbow Dash rolled over lazily and sighed snuggling her face deep into the fluffy cloud. Normaly around this time that day should would be maintaining the weather in Ponyvile but today not much change was scheduled for that day so she had that time to relax and whatever it is she wanted. Anyone else would have expected her to be flying around and doing amazing tricks to wow all the residents of Ponyvile, but nope, today all she wanted to do was take a breather and relax. Again normally, she would take shelter on one of the tree branches in Sweet Apple Acers but today a cloud just seemed so much more comfortable. Anyone who says that normal beds are comfy, has clearly never slept on a cloud.
She wrapped her wings around her body and closed her eyes tiredly with a smile on her face. She did the same with her tail so that the tip was only about an inch from her nose. She yawned as sleepiness began to take over. This was the best time for her. No more problem, no more worries and no more stress, and even if it was only for a short while, she was able to fully rela-
"Oh DASHIE~!"
An over cheerful voice sang to bring Rainbow dash out of her peaceful state and fling her off her cloud. Luckily something caught her before she could fall. It caused her to move upward as she was still tring to figure out what was going on.
"Mm-What the…" She mumbled rubbing her eyes and trying to clear her vision.
When she could finally see clearly, however, she was greeted with a very unwanted face looking right at her and only inches from her face. For you see, it was Discord that had woken her from her nap and was now holding her up to him with his tail.
She let out a small yelp but then her expression turned angry. It had a few months since Discord's being "reformed" and Rainbow Dash was still far from convinced.
"What do you want, Dipcord?!" She bellowed with flaring nostrils.
"Oh, must you always use such harsh words, Dashie?" Discord said pretending to feel hurt. "I thought we were friends."
"I'm not any friend of you-" She paused and became even more angry. "Did you just call me Dashie?"
"What? Isn't it customary for friends to give each other nick names? After all, you often call me "Dipcord"
"My friends call me Dashie, but you're not my firend!" She looked down at Discord tail that was keeping her supended in the air. "Now put me down!" She demanded.
Discord shrugged with a devious grin. "As you wish."
Discord snapped away his tail causing Rainbow to plummet. Luckily she unfolded her wings just in time to save herself from falling any further. She flew in place for a minuet to calm her heart rate as she heard Discord laughing histarically above her. Her anger came to a boiling point as she flew right into Discords face and gave him a piece of her mind.
"That's not funny, Dipcord! Why are you even here? I thought you were suppose to be in Canterlot learning to be "Use your magic for good" or whatever."
"You can't ecpect me to stay in that dingy castle my entire life now do you?" Discord replied flying in circles around Rainbow Dash, which only made her even angrier.
"I was hoping…" She mumbled.
"Oh, what's wrong?" Discord asked with false concern. "Aren't you happy to see me?"
"No I'm not!" Rainbow snapped. "You're ruining my day off!"
"Whatever do you mean? I'm only having fun." Discord said still grinning.
"Well, I don't wanna have any fun right now!" Rainbow Dash laid back down on her cloud and closed her eyes. "Especially not with you!"
"You're sleeping?" Discord questioned. "Where's the fun in that?"
"Just go away!" Rainbow yelling burying her face deeper into the cloud.
It was silent for a while and Rainbow hoped that Discord had gotten the message and had left, but she was quickly proven wrong by the sound of his fingers snapping and his voice saying: "I know just the thing!"
Another snap was heard and the cloud suddenly became sticky and smelled of cotton candy. Rainbow dash's eyes snapped open and she quickly jumped away from the cloud seeing that her thoughts were correct. Discord had turned her cloud into cotton candy. Rainbow clenched her teeth trying to keep her cool as Discord laughed hysterically behind her.
"Oh, come now Dashie." Discord said putting his hands…er…paws on Rainbow Dash's shoulders. "You musent be so serious! Have some fun!"
Rainbow slapped away his hands. "QUIT CALLIN' ME DASHIE!" Before Discord could have a change to reply, Rainbow Dash took off as fast as she could and as far away from Discord as she could.
She raced away desperate to get away from that wakko and didn't even look back to see if he was following her. Her wings pumped faster and faster as she searched for a place to hide where Discord wouldn't find her. She flew to the only place she could think of, Sweet Apple acres.
She bulleted to the Apple family farm in serach of peace. She couldn't have gotten there fast enough and she dove straight into on of the trees consealing herself in the leaves. She perched herself on one of the braches trying to catch her breath and looking around franticly to see if Discord was anywhere to be seen. She didn't see him and let out a relived sigh. Just then her stomach growled, causing her to blush event though no one was around to hear it. Flying away from phycopathes seems to help build apitites.
She looked up and saw one of the siniest, redest apples shed ever seen staring her right in the face. Her mouth watered and she licked her lips. She looked around again and went up to grab the apple in her mouth.
"Rainbow?"
A voice from below made her jump and miss the apple, biting her tongue in the process. She yelped in pain.
"Yall alright, Sugercube?"
She looked down and saw her friend Apple Jack looking up at her with a wagon filled with apples strapped to her back. She sighed.
"Hey, Apple Jack." She replied. "I'm fine, I just bit my tongue."
"Oh, that's gotta hurt somethin' fierce." Apple Jack cringed.
Rainbow nodded. "You're tellin' me."
"Whater yall doin' up in that there tree?" Apple Jack asked with a raised eye brow.
Rainbow groaned. "I'm hiding from Dipcord…"
"Dipcord?" Apple Jack repeated. "You mean Discord?"
"Unforcunatly…" Rainboe Dash mumbled.
"Why ya hidin' from em. I thought he was reformed or whatever."
"That doesn't make him any less annoying!" Rainbow pointed out. "Do you mind if I stay up here until the coast is clear?"
Apple Jack hesitated to think it over and then replied: "I suppose not, but don't stay up there all day, them braches aren't to kind to a mare's flank."
Rainbow smiled. "Thanks, Apple Jack!"
"Anytime, sugercube." Apple Jack answered as she walked away.
Rainbow watched Apple Jack leave until she disappeared into the barn. She turned back to the apple that she swore was calling her name at this point. She stepped closer closed her eyes and prepared to take a bite. She took a big chomp and was shocked when she was met with a mouthful of air. She opened her eyes and sure enough, the Apple was gone.
"What da-" She stammered in confusion.
She heard a loud chomp from above her and assumed someone was now eating the Apple that she claimed as hers. She growled and shot her head up thought the bushes to face off with the apple thief.
"Hey, buddy what are ya-"
She stopped in mid sentence at the sight of the culprit. Discord. He toosed the core into his mouth, chewed, swallowed and let out a big burp right into Rainboe Dashes face.
"Ah, that really hit the spot." He cooed. "You should really try one, Dashie, they're just wonderful!"
Rainbow clenched her teeth and bellowed: "Leave me alone!"
She took off straight into the air and looked around franticly for somewhere else to hide. Just then Discord teleported right next to her.
"Oh, Dashie don't be that way , There's plenty more apples than that." With a snap of his fingers, apples began to rain on Rainbow.
"Ow-ow-OW!" She cried. "Knock it off!"
Rainbow took off again, she needed to find a different place to hide , and fast. She flew all over the skies above Ponyvile in search of a way to escape Discord. The closest place she saw was Rarity's boutique, as much as she hated when Rarity tried to thrust her fashion on her, she desparate. She landed in front of the building, and dashed inside, shutting the door firmly behind her.
"Rarity? You here?" She called.
"Over here, dear!" Rarity's voice called back from behind the sewing machine.
Rainbow trotted over to the next room to see Rarity moving fabric though the sewing machine wearing her glasses she normaly wore when she worked. Rainbow walked over to Rarity who lifted her head and looked up to Rainbow with a surprized yet happy smile.
"Why Rainbow Dash! What bring you here?" She asked.
"Can I hang out here from a while?"
Rarity raised an eye brow at her friends question. "Why?"
Rainbow shuffled her hooves and looked aaway from Rarity's questioning stare. "I'm kinda on the run in a sence, Discord won't leave me alone."
Rarity gasped. "Discord?! That dreadful creature is here in Ponyvile?!"
Rainbow nodded. "He's been following me all day."
"Oh, you poor dear!" Rarity exclaimed. "Of course you're allowed to stay here. I'm rather busy so I can't entertain you like a good house guest however…"
"Oh no, it's fine." Rainbow assured. "I just need a place to crash for about an hour-"
"I've got it!" Rarity suddenly cheered. "I hurry up and finish this project and then we and the rest of the grils can go out and have a girls day! Oh, won't that be fun?"
Rainbow chuckled nervously and faked a smile to the best of her ability.
"Sure…sounds great…" She lied. She didn't really dig "girl days" but anything beated having Discord bugging her all day.
"Perfect! Just go out and wait in the main room, I'll be there shortly."
Rainbow sighed and did as she was told. She walked over to the small couch the was set up in there and lay down. She crossed her forearms and placed her head in between them. She turned her head to the side and stared at the door with half shut eyes. Her eyes slowly drooped more and more until they were fully closed. She had just realized how tired she was. With her nap being interrupted, not having eaten anything, and racing around Ponyvile she felt her energy was just about gone.
"Oh Dashie, I have the most perfect dress for you to wear!" Rarity's voice called.
"Uh huh…" Rainbow Dash mumbled half asleep at this point.
"Oh I do believe you'll look just ravishing in it!"
"That's nice." She yawned.
"Lets see how it looks." There was suddenly a bright light and Rainbow was standing up wearing an incredible hideous dress. She blinked in confusion.
"Oh no, this simply wont do!" Rainbows head whipped around and was greeted with Discords mussle pressed to her nose. He was dress as a tailor and was looking her over in the dress.
"Discord?! You can imitate voices now too?!" Rainbow shouted.
"Shh! I need to think." He bega snapping franticly and with each snap a new dress appeared on Rainbow dash's body. "To frilly, not frilly enough, to pink, tolong…" With one final snapped Discord was finally satisfied with probally one on the most hideous dresses of them all. "Ah, perfect!"
A shiek from Rarity made both Rainbow and Discod turn in her direction.
"Discord! How dare you come in uninvited and create such a discrace of fashion!" Rainbow didn't wait for his reply before she raced out of the boutique.
She couldn't take it anymore! She needed help! She need Twilight Sparkle! She raced towards the library ignoring the pain in her wings. Even when the Library was in sight, she didn't slow down, but instead barged thought the door and crashed into one of the bookselves.
"What the- Rainbow Dash?" Rainbow was so thankful to hear Twilight Sparkel at that point. "What are you doing here? Why are you laying in a pile of my books?"
"Twilight!" Rainbow shouted standing up and placing her hooves on her friends shoulders. "Ya gotta help me!"
"What? What's going on?" Twilight looked down at Rainbow's dress. "Why are you wearing such an ugly dress?"
"It's Discord!" Rainbow cried. "He's been following me all day and wont leave me alone! He follows me no matter where I go and keeps calling me Dashie, then he made it rain apples on me and put me in this ugly dress!"
"Whoa! Rainbow, just calm down." Twilight said taking Rainow Dash's hooves off her shoulders. "What about Discord."
"He wont leave me alone, no matter where I go! Help me!"
"Okay, okay, just stay calm, take deep breaths."
Rainbow slowed her heart rate and took a deep breath.
"Look, I'll see what I can do, in the mean time, why don't you go up in my room and lay down, you look exsausted."
"O-okay…" Rainbow gasped.
She legs shook and treated to quit as she walked over to the stair case. She heard Spike to take a letter and assumed she was going to write to Celestia about Discord. She finally made it up stairs and plopped down on Twilight's bed closing her eyes and trying her best to relax.
"Twilight's right, Rainbow Dash…" She told herself. "You need to calm down…"
She laid there for a while on her side facing the window. She rolled over on her other side and tried to get comfortable.
"You know you really shouldn't talk to yourself, it's not healthy."
Rainbow's eyes snapped open to see Discord looking her right in the eye with a devilish grin on his face. She let out a scream and even after racing out the window, she continued to scream. She zoomed though the skies far from Ponyvile and as far away as she could get from Discord. As she flew her wings ached, but she once again ignored the pain and kept flying. Soon she was flying over the Everfree forest. She was far from Ponyvile now, yet she kept flying. A sharp pain in both her wings made her stop flying. She screamed again as she plummeted to the ground. She crashed though the branched of several trees finally slamming onto the ground and tumbling until she slid to a stop.
She groaned and tried to lift herself from the ground but was to weak to do so. She tried flapping her wing but the pain emanating for both of them prevented them from moving. Great, not she was stranded in the middle of the everfree forest and no one knew she was there. This was all Discord's fault!
She was shocked when she felt something warm run down her cheek. Was she crying? Oh, who was she kidding, of course she was crying! This was the worst day of her life. She continued to cry softly as she wondered how this day could get any worse.
She jumped slightly when she felt a hand on her back. She looked up and saw Discord looking down at her with a smile, but this was a different smile than the one he had had all day…
"Oh, Dashie, why so down?" He asked rubbing his hand…er… claw thingy up and down her back. She would never admit it, but it felt good after the day she had been having.
She didn't answer but instead closed her eyes and continued to let tears fall from her eyes. Rainbow opened her eyes again though when she felt Discord whipping away the tears from her face.
"Wha...what are you...?"
"I may be a being of chaos, but even I can't stand to see a mare cry." He said, his voice sounding…normal in a sense.
Rainbows eyes widened as she watched Discord reach for her wings. He put his hands on them and she winced in pain.
"Oh dear, you've gone and done it this time, Dashie!" He said jokingly.
Rainbow glared at him but her glare quickly disappeared when she felt the tension leaving her wing as Discord began rubbing them. She let out a long and tired sigh and Discord chuckled slightly. Though this did make her wonder, why was Discord being so nice now after he had chased her all over Ponyvile, and she did nothing but insult and run from him all day. However, she smiled and closed her eyes.
"I can't help but think this is slightly me falut..." Discord said as he rubbed the knots out of Rainbow's wings.
"Slightly?" Rainbow questioned opening her eyes again to glare at him.
"Hey, I'm nto the one owho was flying at top speeds all around Ponyvile!" Discord retorted
"Yes, but you were the one chasing me"
Discord shrugged. "Fair point.
Rainbow smiled slightly as she watched Discord massage her wings in wonder and confusion. Discord evenually noticed.
"Tell anypony about this and next time I wont go so easy on you." Discord warned stil massaging her wings.
Rainbow chuckled. "Tell them what? That the lord of chaos is a big softy?"
"Oh shut up and take a nap or something…"
"How do I know you wont inturput thid one like you did the last one?" She snapped weakly.
"I've had all the fun I can have with you today." Discord answered.
Rainbow raised an eye brow but then just shrugged and laid back down. The more Discord rubbed her wings the more Rainbow was albe to relax and the deeper she slipped int slumber. Finally, she gave into her sleepiness and fell asleep.
~/\~
Rainbow Dash opened her eyes slowy as she recognized she was in the sky resting on a cloud. She lifted her head and saw her prediction was correct. She was indeed on a cloud on in the sky like she was at the beginning of the day. She started to wonder if maybe she had dreamed the Discord incident. But then she saw a note sitting in front of her, She read over the not and smiled.
Dear Dashie
Thanks for the fun day! We should do this more often! Have a nice nap.
Sincerely, Discord
Rainbow rolled her eyes and placed her head back down, closed her eyes and wrapped her wings around herself. They weren't as stiff anymore thanks to Discord. Maybe that jerk wasn't so bad after all. She could write a letter to Celestia about that later, but for now she wanted to finish her nap.
