Hey people! This is my first submittion to , and also my first DiscordXCelestia fanfic! I'd love some reviews! Yours, Mina.
Oh, I remember it like it was yesterday. The day that turned me into who I am today. It was when we were all younger, not young as fillies, of course!
But when we were all old enough to love.
Hearts and hooves day; the day where everypony is getting ready to stand up and confess their love for each other, then live happily ever after. I could see colts and mares together everywhere, showing their love to absolutely everypony around… It would usually disgust me, but this day made it different. It was the day when I was going to confess my own love to the only creature in the world that had made me feel like that. Every time I saw her I felt like I was going to melt... I had to stop staring or else she would probably find out about me and call me a stalker of some sort.
So I waited for this one special day to arrive so I could confess and tell her what I felt for her. I bought a huge bouquet of flowers and a heart shaped box with different types of chocolate in it from Canterlot's finest sweets store. On my way I also cared to bring two heart balloons, one pink and one red. I have to admit that having all those eyes upon me where I was walking with that smile on my face made me quite nervous, more nervous than I had been in the first place. It's not every day you see a creature like myself walk around with such things in my hands and an idiotic smile on my not so attractive face…
Anyways, I was heading towards the castle with pride all up in my body, ready to confess my feelings for the creature I loved, oh so much. I took it rather serious, and I believed she would take the gifts I brought. Ponies were laughing at me behind my back, I could hear it... I just noted down that I would bring some chaos straight to their homes after this special day.
Soon enough I arrived at the castle. The guards did not let me in, of course, because it was forbidden to let in creatures like me inside of it, so I just had to 'sneak' inside. It was nothing but a snap with my fingers and I was there. I did not sneak around after that, I just walked casually past all other guards who assumed I had gotten permission to stroll around. However, they did throw me suspicious glances every now and then, but that did not destroy my happy mood at all.
Soon enough I arrived to the huge doors to the room I was looking for. It was highly amusing that such big doors were there only for a normal bedroom.
With three soft knocks on the door, I stepped back and waited... Waited for her to open... I was wondering how she would react. My God, what if she reacted like she had seen some crazy murderer stand there in front of her with a sword ready to stab her? That would be quite… Bad...
Then the white doors opened. I straightened up as much as I could with my snake-ish body and held tightly onto what I had in my hands. Then she stood there, gazing at me with those beautiful eyes… Her expression soon turned into a confused and puzzled look and she took a small step backwards like she had seen something... Oh, wait. She saw me.
"Princess Celestia," I said carefully and tried to give a charming smile, which obviously failed miserably. Celestia stared at me and hesitated a little before she answered.
"Who are you?" was all she could say. Oh, her voice… I remember how incredible many butterflies fluttered around in my stomach when I heard that voice.
"Allow me to introduce myself, Princess... My name is Discord, and I might not be the most handsome guy in Equestria... I am no pony, no unicorn, 'nor am I a pegasi... I am me," I started off. So far she was paying attention to what I was saying with the same puzzled look on her face. But then, when I took a break, she seemed to have some kind of realization and she stood forward.
"Discord! You're that trouble-maker, aren't you? The one who's been doing all kinds of stuffs around here in our beloved Canterlot? You are the one who's brought chaos to Equestria! The one people call a monster..."
M-Monster? I had never heard such things about me! True, I did create chaos and I did trick people every now and then, but monster? You can't be serious!
"Monster…? Oh, no, no, no, Princess Celestia… I may look like one but... "
I soon came to realize in that one moment that the Princess was right in her words. I was a monster… but I could change for her, right?
"Anyways, please do come to the point," the pegasus unicorn said with a boring tone in her voice. I managed to gather myself together and continue where I stopped.
"Well... You know. It is hearts and hooves day today, and I was… Well. Princess Celestia, I have… Fallen for you… And will you do me… the honour… and be my… special somepony?"
There. I had said it. I stood there now, reaching out what I had brought for her with another miserable attempt of a charming smile. Her eyes widened in shock and she just stood there, staring at the flowers and the heart-shaped box. We just stood there for a couple of seconds without saying anything. Her with that shocked face, me with that silly smile.
Then… it happened. The one thing I had feared, but I found impossible because Celestia was such a nice person. She practically slapped the box out of my hands and also the bouquet. Then she stomped on the flowers! I could just stand there with widened eyes and stare while my heart was breaking by every single second that went. She groaned and stared up at me.
"How can I ever love a monster like you!" she said. The she called for the guards, slammed the door in my face and left me standing there... I reached down and picked up what was left of the flowers before I was thrown out of the castle... As soon as I could, I went to a silent and more peaceful place; the meadow outside of Canterlot. I sat down, staring at the flowers in front of me. They were completely destroyed... Not a single one of them had survived the Princess' hooves.
I was still shocked over the fact that she had been so rude. Out of all creatures in Equestria, SHE was rude to someone... Even though I am the one I am, that day was the worst day of my life. My heart had been torn to pieces in my chest…
To be honest, the worst thing about that day was that I was not able to let myself cry. There were no tears, even though I wanted them to fall... I could just sit there and stare at the dead flowers… There was no way I could love someone like I had done that time.
I had never seen someone as beautiful as her, and I do have an appreciation for beauty. I was in love with her. I loved her with every single part of my unusual body... But I was naive. How could she ever love someone like me? Me? The monster everyone feared and the monster everyone wanted to disappear?
I thought she'd be different... I thought she'd understand... I believed that maybe she would see the real me. But when she did look at me, all she could see was a monster…
… So I became one.
