Chapter 2: B is for Blooming"

Are you sure she really needs all this?" Rainbow dash said as she helped Rarity carry her "Get well" supplies

"I'm sure of it, Fluttershy has been ill for some time, and I want to make sure she gets well as soon as possible, and I wanted to see how this outfit looks in the sun, what do you think?" Rarity said as she showed off her new shawl she designed with a bit of glitter on it.

Rainbow dash just rolled her eyes and kept carrying her stuff to Fluttershy's place.

When they did get there though, they were both were flabbergasted by the sight they saw near Fluttershy's place.

Twilight and spike were standing outside the door and we're just as shocked as Rarity and Rainbow dash.

"Are you guys seeing what im seeing right now?" spike said with his eyes widened

"Your not alone spike, but what I'm trying to figure figure out is why the sign is nessasary" Twilight responded as she started walking through the yard to the door.

In the yard there was a sigh in the front with a few lights on it in bold letters saying " Quarantine, do not enter" on it. There were also other signs in the yard saying things like "Not safe beyond here" and "I'd turn around if I were you".

She can't be that sick, can she?" Twilight said to herself, wondering who put these signs up.

When she got up to the door, there was a sign with a sting on hanging from a nail saying " The doctor is in".

'What this about?, and if Fluttershy needed a "doctor", then why didn't she tell one of us!" Rainbow dash said startling Twilight a bit by coming up behind her.

"Wait Rainbow dash!, im sure this all has an explanation, otherwise, she would have told us that she wasn't feeling well. By the way, how did you find out that she was sick?" Twilight asked Rainbow dash.

"Pinkie pie told me about a week ago while visiting Fluttershy a few days after a tea party she had" Rainbow dash said as she flew up and knocked on the door.

They waited a few minutes before they saw the doorknob move and the door open. It was one of Discord's doubleganger's with a doctor outfit on and a surgeon mask on its face.

"May I help you?" The doubleganger asked Rainbow dash with a slightly muffled voice.

"You!, I should have known this was all your fault that Fluttershy didn't tell anyone she was sick, you probably caused her to get sick in the first place!, didn't you?" Rainbow dash exclaimed as she flew inside to find Fluttershy, Twilight, spike, and Rarity followed her.

Rainbow dash looked around the living room. Discords duplicates were around the place doing various cleaning jobs.

But the real Discord was wearing a maid outfit with a bowl of soup in his hand. When he did see Rainbow dash and the rest of them inside, his reaction surprised all of them...

"Oh thank you!, I really needed some help around her-"

"Where's Fluttershy!" Rainbow dash said cutting Discord off, almost making him drop the soup he had in his hand.

Discord takes a large swallow down is throat as he pointed up stairs...

"She's...up there, but I wouldn't go up there if I were you Rainbow flash" Discord said as he nervously shook his head.

"It's Rainbow dash!, and why are you even here if you don't want us to go and see her?" Rainbow dash said as she was about to fly upstairs past Discord, but Rarity held her back.

"Hold on, Rainbow dash, maybe there's a reason Discord is saying that" Spike said as he listened for any noises upstairs.

"Spike's right, after all, I'm pretty sure if Discord is saying this, then it must be bad then" Twilight said as she stood near spike.

"And what's that supposed to mean?, you don't trust me at all to tell the truth?" Discord said putting on a puppy dog pout face.

They all when silent, then Discord turned around in resent...

"Hmp, some "Friends" you are, at least Fluttershy trusted me enough to take care of her while you all were doing your errands" Discord said as he pulled out a handkerchief out of his maid outfit pocket, wiping fake tears.

"Wait!, so... Fluttershy didn't want to tell us that she was ill because we were all busy?" Rarity said with a confused face.

Discord was about to answer, but then they all hear a loud rumble upstairs and a few other noises, as if someone was about to sneeze...

"Ohh no!, here we go again" Discord said as he backed away from the stairs, clenching on to the soup.

Then about five of Discords clones when up toward the stairway, trying to block what was about to happen next. Then all they heard was a large "Ahh-chooo!", then all the clones went flying back out the stairwell and through the living room, landing on each other.

"All...C-clear" one of the clones studders out.

Discord nods his head then heads up stairs to deliver the soup to Fluttershy, Twilight and the others were right behind him.

Discord carefully walked up the stairs until they reached the top near the door. When they finally got up there, Discord put his ear up to the door and listened.

"Great, now what!" Rainbow dash said in an impatient tone.

"Yeah Discord, why'd stop at the door?" Spike asked.

Discord then put on a surgeon mask and then peaked the door open to see if she was asleep...

"Here, put these on just in case" Discord instructed as he handed out some more masks to them.

"Is she really that ill?" Rarity asked

"No, but based on her symptoms, it's highly contagious to ponies, so it's just a...so called... precaution" Discord answered in a smug tone.

"Precaution huh?, or did you cause her to get sick somehow?" Rainbow dash said with a.supicious look on her face with her eyes narrowed at Discord.

"Oh please, this is the new Discord, and besides, she wanted me to help her, and also, why would I make my own friend sick. I mean, and even if I did do that, that would just be waisting good magic, am I right?"

"Discord does have a point, but if you don't mind me asking, did you do this purposely?" Twilight asked

"Well...when you put it that way, is she allergic to anything?" Discord asked as with his eyes pointed toward the door nervously.

The gang thought about it for a minute while Discord went inside the room to give Fluttershy her long awaited soup.

Discord then walked inside to room to see a very dreary eyed, red-nosed, and very pale Fluttershy.

"Fluttershy?, are you awake?" Discord asked in a soft voice.

Fluttershy then opened her two dreary eyes to see Discord at her room door. She gave a little smile as she coughed a little...

"Discord? *cough*...you brought me some soup?" Fluttershy said with a scratchy voice of surprise.

Discord nodded his head as he walked over and placed the soup on the nightstand near her bed.

"This was very thoughtful of you, Thank you. Also, the outfit, you didn't have to were that" Fluttershy said referring to the maids outfit he had on.

"What this, I actually sort of like it, what do you think?" Discord said to on of his clones next to him.

The clone had on a fancy monocal and a tailored outfit (like a butler)...

"I do say, I like it also, it fits well with your eyes" the clone responded.

"Really?, oh I'm so glad you like it" Discord responded back.

Just then, Rainbow dash burst into the room with the mask that Discord had given her about something that may have caused Fluttershy to go sick, so did the others.

"Discord!, I remember once that Fluttershy told me that she was allergic to certain types of flowers an-"

"Shh!, be quieter, Remember, she's still not feeling well" Discord said as he pointed at Fluttershy, who had now fallen to sleep.

"Ohh right, sorry" Rainbow dash said as she apologized.

"What were you saying Rainbow dash?" Twilight said.

"Oh yeah, so Fluttershy told me once that she had certain allergies to flowers. She didn't tell me what they were exactly, but knowing Fluttershy, she'll accept flowers, even if she is allergic to them" Rainbow dash said as she finished.

"So all we have to do is figure out if anyone gave her flowers that she's allergic to. So, did anyone give her any flowers or anything?" Rarity asked as she looked around at everyone.

"Well...that's what I was trying to let you guys know. You see...I may have given Fluttershy some Calli lilies at our last tea party and...well, I wanted to know if she had an allergy to them. Cause I would fell dreadful if I caused her to get this ill" Discord said with a sort of sadness in his voice.

The others felt a little guilty, some of them had accused Discord for making Fluttershy sick without considering all the details and forgetting Discords feelings.

Just then, in the mist of all silence, Fluttershy woke up to see everyone silent.

"Why is everyone...*cough*...so quiet?" Fluttershy studders out quietly.

"Fluttershy, before you go back to sleep, are you allergic to Calli lilies, and if so, those maybe the reason you maybe sick" Twilight said in a slightly muffled voice due to the mask she had on.

Fluttershy looked confused a bit...

"Where'd you get that idea from? I'm not allergic to Calli lilies, in fact, there one of my favorite flowers. I said I was allergic to pink roses. But why are you all looking so sad then" Fluttershy said, curious about her friends expressions at the moment.

"We all felt guilty because we all assumed that Discord had made me sick with those flowers he got you, but we were wrong. So we're apologising for jumping to conclusions, can you forgive us?" Twilight said as she spoke for the rest of the group.

"Well..*cough*...I do forgive you, but I'm not the one you need to Apologise to" Fluttershy said as she looked at Discord.

"Well, I'm the one who really needs to apologise, I'm the one who convinced everyone that it was Discord's fault" Rainbow dash said as she flew back on the floor.

"True, but I think it's fair that we all apologise for blaming Discord, agreed?" Rarity said.

"Agreed" they all said in unison.

The them all looked at Discord, who had a little smile on his face at the everyone...

"Oh, I don't know what to say but...Group hug!" Discord said as he pulled all them In for a group hug, and they all laughed.

But in the midst of the hug, spike asked a question...

"Wait, so, if the flowers didn't make Fluttershy sick, then what did?" Spike asked

"Yeah, what did make you sick Fluttershy? Rainbow dash asked as she flew near Fluttershy's side.

Fluttershy face began to blush a bit...

"Well, there's a reason why I didn't call you guys to come over. A doctor came to check on me when I was first feeling sick"

"And?" Rainbow dash said with a suspicious look on her face.

"And, let's just say it's a good thing your wearing those masks, because the doctor diagnosed me with pony flu" Fluttershy said as she was about to sneeze.

"Oh no!, Fluttershy, hold it in!" Rainbow dash said as she flew out the window, the others then ran out the room as she sneezed...

A few hours later...

It was late into the evening, around the time that the moon started to rise. Fluttershy had just finished taking her medicine that the doctor had given her to take before she goes to bed.

She was about to head back to sleep, but then she heard a knock on her door..

"I'm not expecting anyone over here at this hour, and I'm pretty such Discord left a few hours ago" Fluttershy thought as she got up to open her room door. And sure enough, it was Discord at the door.

"Oh, hello there, I just wanted to say goodnight to my favorite pony before I go. But then I thought, anyone can say goodnight, so I think I should Tuck you in just to make sure that you get your proper rest" Dscord said to Fluttershy as in a caring tone.

Fluttershy wasn't surprised though, Discord ever since she became sick, and every time he came over, it was always something different from cleaning, to helping her find her medicine, but now tucking in.

"Umm..well, it's very nice of you, but I'll be fine doing in myself" Fluttershy said, politely declining the offer.

But Discord insisted, so he got Fluttershy and carried her off to bed himself. When he got her to the bed and tucked her in, he asked her a question out of the blue.

"Umm.. Fluttershy?"

Dreary from the medicine Fluttershy hears Discords words and wakes up...

"Oh, yes Discord?"

"Well, I just want to ask you...do you trust me?" Discord asked her nervously.

A little surprised that he asked that question after all that had happened, she answered him reassuringly...

"Discord, of course I trust you, why do you think I trusted you to help me out when no one else could or when I could have easily called a doctor" Fluttershy said.

"Well, when you put it *yawn*...that way, I guess it was a *yawn* rather silly question. Well I just wanted to know either way" Discord said, obviously tired himself.

"Well, I'm actually glad you came her to say goodnight at least" Fluttershy said as she was about to close her eyes to sleep. But then she noticed that Discord in the middle of what she was saying, had fallen asleep right in her bed.

Fluttershy being too tired to get up, just let him sleep there for now, and plus she needed someone to cook for her in the morning, but not before saying one more thing...

"Goodnight Discord, goodnight..."
