THE KINDNESS IN CHAOS
CHAPTER 1
FLUTTERSHY
Fluttershy gently soared over the garden, the breeze teasing her silky mane.
She fluttered her wings gracefully before landing on the soft grass.
She slowly watered the plants, the water spilling from the rusty old can and catching the sunlight in it's small droplets.
She then moved on to feeding. Humming away, the birds copied the mare's tune. The pony calmly filtered the seed for her avian friends throughout the equine felt a harsh tug on her mane, She looked down with her large teal eyes to see her little white bunny, Angel, with a annoyed expression on his cute face.
"Oh, Angel Bunny, do you want your food now? I'll feed you next sweetie. She smiled lovingly at him as the rodent's face scrunched into an even tighter frown. Turning away from the rabbit she continued to feed the birds, the seeds flying through the air in an organised pattern before landing in the green grass where many of her feathered friends waited to snatch them up in their sharp beaks.
"Hello my dear." A voice came out of nowhere startling the yellow Pegasus into jumping with fright.
She hid behind her rosy pink mane, and a squeak escaped her lips. A laugh rang out, a familiarity in it's tone. She looked out again to see discord, He was lying on a cotton candy cloud, thankfully not raining chocolate milk. His lion paw propping up his chin, while his eagle claw hung loosely.
"Oh it's you Discord, you frightened me." Fluttershy smiled warmly, her teeth gleaming.
"That's what I aimed for." The draconequus replied cheekily as he stuffed some cotton candy in his mouth. Angel bunny started squeaking and squealing hopping up and down pointing at Discord with a furry Chimera snorted, and turned to Fluttershy, ignoring the furious rodentia growling at him.
"Do start humming again my dear, I do love to listen."
Fluttershy blushed with embarrasment, her pale cheeks tinted pink.
"Oh no, I have terrible s-stage fright..." The Pegasus murmured with a stutter as she bit her lip.
Discord teleported to her with a bright flash that nearly blinded the poor mare. He wrapped his snake like neck around her head, so he could see past her rosy mane.
"I won't laugh, and that's saying a lot, considering who I am." He clicked his fingers and one of Fluttershy's freshly watered flowers grew wings and flew away.
"Maybe another time." She whispered so quietly her voice was barely audible above the gentle whisper of the breeze.
The Pegasus squeezed out of his snake like grip, facing away from the draconequus with a sad frown. She was still upset by his betrayal of their friendship.
Now don't think like that, he's changed, he truly understands the magic of friendship now! She thought to herself, her hooves leading her inside as she went to prepare Angel's lunch.
DISCORD
He watched her turn away and great back inside the comfort of her cottage. He could read like her a magazine, her butter coloured face easy to read despite how hard she struggled to cover it up. she was still upset about his betrayal.
And he would make it up to her! somehow.
His attentive eyes watched carefully as the Pegasus shut her door, her silky pink mane disappearing inside the cottage.
His stomach lurched, and a squirming feeling settled inside of him.
He clicked his fingers to teleport back to his castle in an alternate dimension.
This was a new feeling, one he had never felt, in all of his long life! Every time he was near Fluttershy she would give him the butterflies, so to speak.
Her soft voice would send his heart careening and her gentle nature would make him smile with affection.
Oh.
This was love wasn't it? He asked himself, his bushy eyebrows knitting together in thought. It was such a simple question, yet it's answer was the hardest to find.
Only time could tell.
