Ding!
"Gah!" Discord fell off of the couch for the second time, this time however landing on his back. He let out a grunt as he pushed himself up. He could hear the bells ringing in his ears.
Ding!
The bells were far louder than usual and he had some pretty loud wake-up calls. He howled in annoyance and stuck his antler and horn into his ears. It covered up most of the noise but he could still hear the chimes.
It stopped as soon as it had begun, after eleven rings to be exact.
Discord pulled his horns back out of his ears and placed them back on his head. "Thank goodness," he grumbled to himself, "it only last eleven... rings..." He trailed off, his brain in a whirlwind. Eleven rings he thought to himself. He spoke out loud this time. "Eleven rings?! My clocks don't chime normally! That makes sense! I'm not supposed to make sense!" He kept trying to think why something so sensible was in his dimension when he heard a voice.
"Discord." This voice sounded far more regal and older than the Twilight in his dream had. He turned his head towards the source and was once again blinded by a bright light. He turned away until it faded and he turned back to where the voice came from. His confused face turned to one of utter annoyance and despair.
"You've got to be joking." He groaned. "You're in on this too?"
There was a pure white alicorn standing in front of him. She had a long flowing rainbow mane that seemed to move on its own. She wore a golden crown with a purple jewel on her head and had golden shoes to match. Her cutie mark was in the shape of a sun and to top it all off, she seemed as if she was glowing a lot more than usual.
While to a normal pony, this alicorn may have seemed like a gift if she came to visit them. However for Discord, Princess Celestia was just a thorn in his side.
"Yes," she replied her voice calm, yet full of power, "I am, for I am the Ghost of Hearth's Warming Past."
A paw flew to Discord's face and he groaned. "You have got to be kidding me." As he brought his paw down, his face stretched along with it. When the paw left, his face snapped back up and Discord shook his head.
"This is no joke." His attention turned back to Celestia, who didn't really seem to notice what he just did, and even if she did she didn't comment on it. She was far too used to Discord's antics by now to be surprised by them. "Discord, you have no spirit for this joyous holiday and I am to help you learn to enjoy this time of year. After all, it will benefit you in the future if you can enjoy it."
Discord, now standing, quickly spun around so he wasn't facing the Princess. "It won't benefit me in any way, shape, or form if I like this holiday."
Celestia glared at him. "Oh really? Not even if it would make a certain yellow pegasus happy? And if you don't, it might eventually hurt her more than you?"
Discord whipped his head back around and narrowed his eyes at Celestia. "What is that supposed to mean?" Although he didn't show it, he was beginning to panic. Was he going to hurt Fluttershy again in the future? No. He promised himself he wouldn't ever hurt her as bad as Tirek. Although he felt horrible that he scared her tonight and he knew that he was going to apologize to her and it could easily be made up for. After all, he has scared her before and she forgave him. But he didn't want to physically or emotionally hurt her as badly as Tirek ever again. The thought of seeing her hurt scared him half to death
Celestia shrugged and turned away from Discord. "Not my place to tell you. However it is time to go."
"Good to know you're going so soon."
"Oh, I may be leaving, but not without you."
Discord rolled his eyes. "Very sorry Celestia, but that's not going to happen."
She sighed. "Discord, we can either do this the easy way or the hard way."
He let out a laugh. "Yeah, whatever you say. You must be ou-" Discord was cut off when the princess teleported next to him.
"Looks like we're doing this the hard way." She muttered. Her horn glowed and she lowered it to Discord's head.
As soon as her horn hit its intended target, both Celestia and Discord disappeared in a flash, the flash itself drowning out Discord's cries of protest.
When the light went away, Discord found himself in a snow covered forest. The moon was out and its light shown through the leaves. He grumbled in annoyance, not feeling the wind that was clearly blowing as shown by the swaying trees. He heard the crunch of hoofs landing on snow and saw Celestia land beside him out of the corner of his eye. Discord turned his head slightly so he was looking at her.
"You know," he moaned, "if you think that me being in the middle of a snow filled forest will help me understand the joy of Hearth's Warming, you could have just told me. It would have saved us a lot trouble."
Celestia shook her head. "No. If you knew where we really were you would have never brought us here."
"What are you-" Discord stopped talking when he heard the snow crunch behind him, He looked around and saw what looked like a pony strolling through the shadow of the trees, coming closer to them.
The Princess lifted her hoof to point at the approaching pony. "This is why you wouldn't have brought us here."
As the pony stepped into the moonlight, all the air in Discord's lungs was taken away from him, for this as not a pony at all. No it was-
"Me." Discord voice was barley below a whisper. It was in fact; himself Discord was looking at, or at least a younger version of himself. Younger Discord had the same type of body as he would have in the future, snake tail with a small white tuft, hoof and dragon foot, a blue pony wing and a purple bat wing, and he also had the brown fur that stopped at his neck. His head however was a bit different. He had a mop of black hair on his head, and you could barely see the little deer antler and light blue horn underneath it. His eyebrows were smaller and a lot less bushy than his future self and he had no goatee that matched. Even his fang was only hanging a tad out of his mouth. The only thing that still looked the same was the color of his fur on his face, and the bright yellow and red eyes.
Celestia nodded. "Yes that is indeed you, or at least you past you."
Discord whipped his head around to face the Princess. "So you're saying-"
"That we are in the past? Yes, we are. We are going to the root of your problem and seeing why you hate this holiday so." The smaller Discord ears perked up and the both Celesta and future Discord saw him run off to a nearby town. "Come," Celestia beckoned, "Let's follow him." Discord didn't complain.
When younger Discord finally stopped, he was at what looked like an outdoor party, despite the cold weather surprisingly. There were decorations hung on tables that were set up with food, there were ponies wearing scarves laughing with one another, and the main event was the fire roaring in the middle of it all. The atmosphere surrounding the ponies was happy and the younger Discord couldn't help but smile. He ran towards the party, hoping to join in on the fun everypony seemed to be having.
However, things only got worse from there.
"Oh my goodness!" An older pony with dark blue fur and a red mane screamed. "What is that, that thing?!" Other ponies turned to where the small draconequus as standing. Some ponies gaped while most screamed in horror.
"Devil!"
"Monster!"
"Oh, Celestia! Save us from this horrid creature."
While Discord winced at the names, his younger self seemed confused and stepped forward. "Wait!" He cried out over all the screaming. "I'm not going to hurt anypony!" He took another step forward and everypony screamed. Scared by their reactions, younger Discord did something he never meant to do.
Use his magic.
The ground itself turned into soap and all of the food on the tables began to float and whiz about, chasing ponies and dumping its contents onto them.
"This monster is going to kill us all!"
"Run before he gets you!"
"The devil himself is going to destroy us!"
Discord turned away, his paw and claw covering his face. His past self felt tears prick his eyes. Why? He thought. Why is everypony so cruel? He felt the cold tears fall down his cheeks and he turn and ran away from all the screaming ponies, hate beginning to grow in his heart for all pony kind.
Discord turned and faced Celestia. "There," he mumbled, "now you know why I hate Hearth's Warming."
Celestia shook her head once again. "No, as The Ghost of Christmas Past, I can sense when there is more then you are letting on. There is still more to the reason you hate Hearth's Warming, so let's see where you're past self goes, shall we?" She turned to follow his younger self but Discord stayed put.
"Sorry Celestia, but that is enough of my past for now." He lifted his eagle claw and snapped his fingers.
Once again, nothing happened.
Discord growled and flashed himself in front of Celestia. "Oh let me guess? I can do whatever magic I want here except for teleporting back home. Am I correct?"
Celestia simply smirked and moved around him. "Well I can't let you leave this quickly Discord. We still have more of your past to see." She continued forward and with a groan Discord followed, figuring it was the quickest way to get out of this.
He smirked for a moment. "At least let me return the favor Celestia." Discord's tail raised and his tuft snapped together. Snow came falling down on Celestia and formed the shape of a pony around her. Discord chuckled and his tuft snapped again. A carrot was stuck on her muzzle; she had a coal mouth and eyes, a scarf around her neck, a top hat placed on her eyes. Discord fell to the ground laughing while Celestia attempted to roll her eyes, although she couldn't do it very well as a snowpony.
"Very funny Discord." She tried to make the snow come off, but to her great surprise, it stuck to her like glue. She took a step forward and felt she could move, but yet the snow could not come off. She whipped her head around and glared at Discord as best she could.
He had finally calmed down to just chuckling when he finally spoke. "Sorry, but I wasn't about to let you have complete control over me. Let's just say that you will be stuck like that for a little bit."
She knew she had little time in Discord's past so Celestia did not argue. She simply sighed and began to once again follow Discord's past self, Discord chuckling the whole way.
They finally caught up with younger Discord when he stopped to rest in a small cave… and cry. The tears kept on falling down his cheeks and would not stop. Discord's past self sobbed, but only loud enough for him to hear.
Discord and Celestia just stood there watching the younger Discord cry. Celestia thought that maybe she was wrong and the screaming ponies were the only reasons Discord hated Hearth's Warming. At least she thought that until she saw a small pony approach him.
Past Discord didn't seem to notice the young colt until he put his hoof on his shoulder. Younger Discord's head snapped up and he stared at the colt. The smiled and removed his hoof from Discord's shoulder and held it out.
"Hi!" He said cheerful. "I'm Dusky Night. Who are you?" Dusky Night was a small black pegasus with a yellow mane that went down his neck. He had no cutie mark but Discord didn't notice. He stared at the colts hoof and scooted back a bit, scared about what the pony would do to him.
The colt frowned and withdrew his hoof. "What's wrong?" His voice was a whisper yet it was full of kindness. Discord looked into the pony's eyes and instead of seeing fear, saw concern. Discord was surprised by this. After what happened, he didn't think somepony would be feeling bad for him.
He wiped away the last few tears lingering on his cheek and swallowed the lump in his throat. "It's-" His voice cracked so he cleared it and tried again. "It's just that, some ponies were being mean to me and, and calling me a monster…" He trailed off, feeling the tears returning as he thought of the event that happened only a half an hour before.
The colt looked surprised. "Why would they do that?! They should be in the caring spirit! It is Hearth's Warming after all!"
Discord looked confused. "Hearth's… Warming?" He asked.
Dusky Night gasped. "You don't know about Hearth's Warming?! It's the best holiday ever. Ponies from all around come together and give presents to each other, eat food, and watch the Hearth's Warming play."
"Sorry, I've just never heard of or celebrated this holiday."
"Never?!"
Discord nodded. "We never celebrated Hearth's Warming where I come from."
After the shock wore off, Dusky Night light out a huge smile. "Well we're going to change that. Tonight, you and I will celebrate your first Hearth's Warming!" He jumped to his hooves and pulled Discord to his feet.
"Re-really?!" Discord stumbled over his words.
"Of course! This is going to be the best you will ever have! Even if it is only your first one!" He let out a laugh and pulled Discord outside the cave. "First, we'll bring back some wood to start a fire and then we can have some fun!"
Discord let out a huge grin. "Thanks Dusky Night. You have no idea how happy this makes me!"
Dusky turned back and returned Discord's smile. "Call me Dusky. All my friends do."
Friends. That word caused Discord's smile to grow. He let out a laugh and followed Dusky into the woods, not knowing he was passing his future self and a currently snowpony Celestia.
"I don't get it." Princess Celestia muttered. She turned and looked at discord who was staring at the place his past self and Dusky vanished. "It looked like this was one of the best moments of your life. How is this the reason you hate Hearth's Warming? I mean, it looks like you made a friend."
Discord's paw and claw curled up into fists. "It doesn't matter. Also, we were acquaintances, n-not friends. Now take me back to my dimension. I don't wish to see my past any longer." He voice was low and hushed as he growled at Celestia to take him home. However, the Princess of the Day sensed there was one more memory to be seen.
"Not yet." She said and Discord glared at her. "There is still one more memory to see." In another flash Discord and Celestia were thrown forward. He covered his eyes and Discord could see images of what transpired between him and Dusky that night. He saw them playing games, sitting by the fire telling stories, and his past self making it rain chocolate milk. When he opened his eyes back up, the sun was up and Celestia no longer looked like a snowpony. He looked to the right and saw Dusky and his younger self walking out of the cave.
Dusky smiled. "That was a great Hearth's warming Eve."
Discord looked at Dusky confused. "Hearth's Warming Eve?"
"Yeah! Ponies celebrate Hearth's Warming Eve the night before Hearth's Warming and then all the really fun stuff starts on Hearth's Warming Day, which is today!"
"So that means there's more to do?"
"Of course! I told you Hearth's Warming was the best holiday!" He and Discord both let out a laugh. They continued on their stroll through the woods talking and laughing until they heard a shout. Dusky had a look of confusion on his face and he turned to look around a tree. His confusion soon turned into a face of mischief. "Looks like it's time to start my Hearth's Warming Day prank."
Discord cocked his head at Dusky "Prank?"
"Yeah. My friends are over there having a snowball fight. I'm going to sneak up on them and put this in the snow." He pulled a thing dark red of dye out of his bag Discord didn't notice he had until now. "I'll put this in a pile of snow up on a tree then make it fall on them. It ill stain their whole coat red and trust me, this stuff doesn't come out for weeks." Dusky turned to face him. "You watch and tell me if my friends see me. If they do, the whole prank is ruined. So, are you up to helping with what is going to be my greatest prank ever?"
Discord smirked. "I do enjoy a good prank."
"Good. Then you stand behind this tree and stand watch while I get it ready." He spread his wings and flew up in the air. However, after sleeping in a cave all night, his wings had stiffened and wouldn't fly right. He fell back down in the snow with a small yelp. Discord ran over and helped him back up. Dusky shook the snow that covered his coat and straightened up. "Well, looks like I'm climbing up the tree." So he ran over to the sturdiest tree he could find and began to climb.
The kids were too busy making snowballs to notice Dusky climbing the tree. When he got to a branch piled with snow, he began to put the dye in the snow.
Discord looked back to the other ponies playing. One of them threw a snowball at the others face. The snowball hit its target and the thrower, a small earth pony filly, fell to the ground laughing. The colt who got hit in the face turned and glared at her. "That's the best you got? I've been saving this one for just the right occasion." He pulled a snowball that looked to be made of ice from behind his back. The filly got up and ran to look for cover. Using his magic, the colt levitated the ball and…
Discord turned to Princess Celestia. "We're leaving. Now." However when Discord tried to move, he found his feet stuck in the snow. He turned and sent yet another glare towards Celestia. She shrugged.
"We are staying till the end so we know why you hate Hearth's Warming. We need to learn the root of your problem so we can do something about it."
Discord paled and looked back to the unicorn colt about to throw the snowball. "N-no." He mumbled, his voice shaking. "I-I don't want t-to see this a-again." He snapped his claw but nothing happened. He looked back to the Princess, his eyes pleading. "Celestia I do not want to see this memory."
Celestia was surprised. She never thought she would see the day where Discord lowered his pride and ego to beg her not to do something. Yet she had to know the root of the problem. She ignored him and looked back to the unicorn about to throw the snowball.
The colt levitated the icy snowball using his magic and threw it forward. However, he was still having trouble with his magic, so instead of heading towards the filly, it soared to a nearby tree. The fillies and colts heard gasp, then a scream. Finally they saw their friend Dusky lying in the snow, red polling around his head.
Discord's past self looked at the scene, wondering how the dye had gotten around his head. A sickening feeling came to his stomach though when he realized that the color was much to light to be the dye. He looked towards the other four ponies, expecting them to run over and help their friend. However their reaction angered him.
The earth pony filly and another unicorn filly next to her let out a small laugh at the sight. Then a pegasus colt and the unicorn colt joined in.
"Nice try Dusky," the pegasus colt chuckled, "but your prank can't fool us!" They all shared more laughter and the fillies and colts resumed their snowball fight.
Those monsters! Discord thought in rage. Their friend is dying and-
His thoughts returned to Dusky.
Discord paled and ran over to him, dropping to the ground and getting warm blood all over his arms and legs. He lifted his blood soaked paw and claw and put them to Dusky's chest. There was still a heartbeat. It was hardly there though and Discord knew he didn't have much longer to live. He knew that he had to try and save him.
Discord tried to make his healing magic work. He had seen his parents use it plenty of times before they… He shook his head, removing the thought of his parents. Discord concentrated on the power he had trying to make his magic work.
But it was no use. Dusky was gone.
Discord felt tears running down his cheeks. Someone who he had considered as a friend died right in front of him. Discord glared at the ponies playing in the snow across from him. They never noticed their friend was dead and they never noticed him. Discord felt the hate for ponies inside his heart growing again.
Why? He thought again. Why do ponies have to celebrate this horrid holiday? If this holiday was never made, then Dusky would have never done his prank and he wouldn't be DEAD! Discord couldn't stop the tears rolling down his checks as he held Dusky's body.
And those ponies. He thought bitterly. And those ponies say I am a monster. They are far worse than I ever was. All these ponies bring on Hearth's Warming is death. I will make sure they pay one day. When my magic is stronger, I will make sure they all pay.
Discord took one last look at Dusky then set back don in the snow. He allowed himself one last moment to grieve, then he walked away, leaving the one pony he had considered a friend forever.
I'm sorry Dusky, he thought, looks like my first Hearth's Warming was my last. He vanished into the woods, making sure the words Hearth's Warming would never cross his mind for a long, long time.
Discord watched his past self disappear and he felt something hot roll down his cheek. It was a tear. "I forgot how much that moment hurt, seeing someone I almost considered a friend died." He growled. "If this is supposed to make me enjoy Hearth's Warming Celestia, then it's not working. You're only making me hate the holiday more."
Celestia turned slowly around to face Discord. "I am so sorry." Discord glanced at her and saw that she had tears streaming down her face. She did a quick sniffle then composed herself, drying the tears from her eyes. "I didn't know that you went through that much pain Discord."
"Yes well that was the day I not only saw Dusky die, it was also the day I learned how horrid ponies really were. I mean, those fillies and colts didn't even realize Dusky was dead."
Celestia turned back to the little ponies playing, but then noticed one of them stopped. "I think you're wrong." She murmured. Discord looked back at the scene and saw the unicorn filly approaching Dusky.
She stopped as soon as he hoof touched his blood. Her eyes widened and she quickly put a hoof to his chest to feel for a heartbeat. There was none. She let out a scream for help and her friends went to see what was wrong. When they realized that this wasn't a prank they all screamed and went for help while the unicorn filly stayed with the body. Eventually doctors and nurses came and picked Dusky up to bring him to the hospital. The filly was the last to leave. She took one last look at where Dusky had been lying, and then ran off crying.
Celestia glanced back at Discord. "See," she whispered, "they did care. They were just too late to notice it wasn't a prank."
Discord scoffed at her and turned around, his feet no longer stuck in the snow. "It doesn't matter. After that day I promised that I would get revenge on ponies once my power was strong enough and not to ever think of Hearth's Warming again. Although that part didn't work out as well as I had hoped it would." He mumbled the last part under his breath. "I also promised myself that I would never attempt to make another friend."
Celestia smirked. "That part didn't work out as well either." Discord head shot up and he stared at Celestia. She smiled and they were sucked forward again. This time landing in a memory he enjoyed far too much.
They were in Fluttershy's cottage and having a dinner Fluttershy had planned. Rainbow Dash was currently standing on a cover for a tray, trapping the fish that squirted liquid at everypony. All the others had their hooves on the table and were standing protest; Even Spike had his claws on the table.
"What's gotten into you Fluttershy?" Rainbow Dash questioned loudly. "Why do you keep cutting him so much slack?"
Then Fluttershy put a serious look on her face and did the one thing that started to break down Discord's wall. She slid next to him and gave him a hug, the said loud enough for everypony to hear, "Because that's what friends do."
Discord had been so surprised at her gesture that he had forgotten his promise about never making friends so many years ago. "We're friends?" he asked her, quite confused.
Fluttershy flew around to the other side to face him and smiled. "Why of course. I can't remember my house ever being this lively before you came along."
Discord moved back in shock and felt his heart jump a little. "Oh, well, I never really had a friend before."
Fluttershy, still smiling, took his gloved paw in her hooves. "Well now you do." Discord moved his paw away from her hooves and looked away shyly but still gave her a small smile in return.
Celestia looked at the Discord next to her to see him also smiling at the memory. "She was the first pony, or any creature for that matter, to directly say that she was actually my friend. I guess Dusky kind of said it, but not as directly as Fluttershy." He sighed a bit; remember how happy he had been, even if he didn't want it to be true at first.
They were pulled into another memory, this time they were at Sweet Apple Acres and Fluttershy was stuck deciding between Discord and her element.
She took a deep breath and said loudly, "I made a promise not to use my element against him and I'm going to keep it." Fluttershy took the skates his tuft held and walked away with her head held high.
Discord then teleported next to her and began to laugh in her other friends faces. "Ha, ha! You see? She wants to have fun with me because we're friends. She can't use the element against me because we're friends! I'm free forever! Ha, ha, ha!"
During his little ramble, Fluttershy began to get angrier and angrier. Eventually, she snapped. "Not your friend!" She screamed loudly and threw the skates across the frozen pond.
Discord rolled his eyes. "Who cares? I can do whatever I want, whenever I want. I'm Discord, the Master of Chaos." He flashed be sides Fluttershy again who was walking with her head down across the ice, slipping occasionally. "You think you can boss Discord around?! You think I'm going to turn all this back because you say so?! Because if I don't I'll lose the one friend I ever had?!" The second the words left his mouth, something inside him clicked. His eyes widened and he slowly move his head towards where she thrown the skates.
He may have been freed from his stone prison forever, but he had just lost something he cared about more than taken over Equestria; The mare who gave him friendship.
He turned back and faced Fluttershy, tears beginning to form in his eyes. "Oh." He muttered. "Well played Fluttershy, well played." He skated over to a nearby tree, keeping his head down.
He sat down and put his hands to where his heart was, using a magic he had never used before; Magic from his heart. Once his chaos magic was reversed, he looked back up and saw Fluttershy's friends all crowding around her and cheering. He smiled and flashed himself over.
"I guess when your friends," he said in a voice barely above a whisper, "you can't have things your way all the time, right?" Fluttershy smiled back up at him once more and he felt relief fill his heart. He still had his friendship.
Celestia and Discord were pulled into one last memory. Twilight had just finished talking and Fluttershy was waking up to him. She poked his side. "Go on, say it." She had a small smirk on her face.
"Oh," Discord moaned, "all right. Friendship is magic."
Fluttershy reached a hoof up to touch his paw just like she did earlier. "See," she said, "he can be a real sweetheart once you get to know him."
The image froze with Fluttershy smiling up at him and Discord looking away sheepishly. It then swirled out of existence and they were back in the world of black, where he had been where he first talked to Twilight.
"So you see," Princess Celestia said now standing in front of him, "you can be happy. You said that you would never find friendship, yet you did. Who says you can't love Hearth's Warming?"
The happiness Discord felt reliving those memories with Fluttershy disappeared instantly once she aid Hearth's Warming. He glared at Celestia once again and growled. "You saw what I thought about that holiday and I will not change my mind about it. I don't care how many happy memories I may have had, I will never like this holiday. Ever!"
Celestia tried to reason with him. "But Discord-"
"You know what?" Discord cut Celestia off. "I've had enough of this. I don't want to see anymore of my past, so goodbye Celestia or Ghost of Hearth's Warming Past or whatever you want to be called! Goodbye! And just to make this story accurate…" He snapped the fingers on his claw and a cone like object appeared in his paw. "Hasta luego Celestia!" He threw the cone over Celestia head downing out her cries of protest. He kept pushing the cone down and down until her whole entire body was gone.
The cone hit the floor with a thud.
Discord grabbed the edge of it and pulled it up to see if she was still under there. Celestia was nowhere to be seen. However, he was just about to lower it back down when a light was emitted from it. He let out a cry and covered his eyes for the umpteenth time.
When he opened his eyes again he let out a gasp. He was back in his dimension.
Hello everypony! GamerFan369 and welcome to chapter three of A Hearth's Warming Carol! I did want this out yesterday but I was just too busy and had no time to write. I also didn't have a lot time to write on the day before either. So today, I spent at least eight hours writing this and I hope you like it. The chapters with the "ghosts" in it are going to be longer, so it might take more time to write each chapter. Also, is it bad that I did pretty much all of the "Keep Calm and Flutter On" scenes without using the video since I knew all the lines by heart?
Please leave a review and tell me what you think about the story and/or what I should improve on. One of my best friends told me this story as great so far. Yeah, my friend has read some of this story. Oh dear…
Interesting Fact About my Week: I saw a live version of A Christmas Carol the other day it was amazing!
Anyways guys, I hoped you enjoyed this chapter and please leave a review. Until then…
Peace! GamerFan369
