My Little Discord: Chapter Four
I hate not having internet! I am so sorry for your wait. I cried to my mother about not having internet. I have been a mess this past couple of days. I tried to tell her that you guys were waiting on these updates. I'm really sorry guys. Anyway, on with the fluff and cuteness of Fluttercord! (:
Fluttershy was fast asleep in her bed. Discord was waiting for the right moment to sneak out of the house. He had gone to the couch and pretended to be asleep until Fluttershy went to bed. He wanted to make sure she was really sleeping. We went upstairs and listened to her. He heard a faint snore that sounded like a princess. He knew she must be sleeping. He had to pull himself off the door because he wanted to listen to Fluttershy all night.
He slowly made his way downstairs and transported himself to outside of Twilight's house. He figured why risk Fluttershy hear the door open when he could transport. He looked around himself and knocked on the door. Twilight came to the door and opened it with a yawn. She stopped mid yawn when she saw Discord.
"What are you doing here Discord? I thought you were staying at Fluttershy's…so I heard anyway. It's almost 11:00 at night," Twilight inquired. Discord gulped and started to sweat.
"I know but it seems I need your help with something. Would you mind? We are friends right?" Discord asked. Twilight rolled her eyes.
"Yes Discord, we are friends. Now, what do you need help with?" Twilight asked. Discord swayed back and forth.
Can I tell you inside…wait, is Spike in there?" Discord asked. Twilight nodded.
"He is but he's also fast asleep. You can still come in." Twilight motioned for Discord to come in so he did. He closed the door behind him, quietly. Twilight went into her basement and Discord followed her. He closed the door again as she went down the stairs. They were both down there. Twilight spoke first. "Now you may tell me what you need help with."
"Well…before I tell you…you have to promise not to laugh or get upset. If you get upset or laugh…I will leave. Oh, and you also have to promise not to tell any pony about this. Do you promise?" Discord asked. Twilight considered this. What could Discord possibly tell her that needed this many protocols and promises. She figured she should take this risk. If it was important, she would have to know. She nodded and put her right hoof on her heart and her left hoof in the air.
"Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye," Twilight Pinkie promised as she made her hoof go on her eye. Discord rolled his eyes but figured that is something ponies did when they really meant they were not going to tell any pony secrets. He took a deep breath.
"Alright…I…I…I might…possibly…sort of…absolutely…completely…love Fluttershy!" Discord confessed a little too loud. He covered his mouth. Twilight stood stunned in front of Discord.
"Did you just say that you…" Twilight started to ask but was cut off by the sound of the basement door opening. Discord knew who it was and hid. Spike walked in and came down the steps.
"Twilight, what are you doing down here and why did you just yell?" Spike asked. Twilight, still stunned, shook out of her shock looking features and spoke.
"Oh Spike, I was just…conducting some experiments and I got frustrated so I guess I flew off the handle there. I'm sorry for waking you but you can go back to sleep now. I promise to be quieter," Twilight explained. Spike nodded sleepily.
"Alright, and it was no big deal. Good night Twilight." Spike walked back up the stairs and closed the door. Twilight wiped her forehead. "That was close."
"I'll say, doesn't he know how to knock? I almost got caught," Discord said as he came out of hiding. Twilight nodded but remembered what Discord had said earlier.
"So…earlier, before Spike came in here…did you tell me that you…love…Fluttershy? Is that what I heard or did you say something else? You didn't say that…right?" Twilight asked Discord. Discord looked at the ceiling and then the floor.
"I did say that. I want you to help me umm…woo her, if that's the correct term anyway. I just really want her to like me and I knew you would be able to help me," Discord explained. Twilight was confused.
"I'm flattered but…why me?" Twilight asked.
"Simple," Discord started. "You don't have a loud mouth and you're more level headed about things like this. You won't frown upon it right away. You will at least think it through…unlike the other ponies. They think because I am the master of chaos that I can't love or feel emotions. If I can be angry then I can love. If I can be sad I can love. I don't know why ponies don't understand that. Even though I'm reformed, ponies don't even try to understand me or be my friend…with the exception of Fluttershy. Ahh Fluttershy, how wonderful she is. She was my first friend I ever really had. She is so kind to me…even when I wasn't kind to every pony. Well, now you know why I like her so much. Do you get it?" Discord asked.
Twilight thought this through. She understood what he was saying and in a way, felt bad for the creature. He had never had a friend and he was lonely. Fluttershy was who made him happy. She figured helping him get closer to her really couldn't hurt. She decided to do it.
"Discord," Twilight said. Discord looked at her from looking at the floor. He was hoping she would agree to this. He loved Fluttershy and would do anything to be more than friends with her. He thought her to be his soul mate. Twilight continued. "I will help you get Fluttershy."
