This is a songfic chapter that I felt like writing in, a duet with Spike and Discord. It's a rewritten/parody version of one of the songs from My Little Pony Live: The World's Biggest Tea Party. For more details on it, just watch it on Youtube (I think that's still there, but I've been watching it on Bing). Anyway, please let me know what you think about the duet after you've read it.
Ch.6: Just How You Feel
As Spike and the girls head for the ruins to save Discord from Garble and his gang, Spike looks up at the moon (not knowing that Discord is doing the same), worried for the one he never realized until a while ago had it just as rough as he does.
Now I know how Discord feels…I just hope he's okay.
Spike: You're scared
Discord: You're blue
Spike: I've been
Discord: There too
Spike: And so
Discord: I know
Both: Just how you feel
Both switched males felt pain sting their hearts. Each thinks he had it rough and thought about himself rather than the other. How could they have been so inconsiderate to each other?
Discord: I hurt
Spike: Inside
Discord: I just want
Spike: To hide
Discord: I know
Spike: I know
Both: Just how you feel
Discord felt awful for pulling that cruel joke on Spike, and Spike feels guilty about being mean to someone just wanting to have some fun with him. It makes each want to crawl under a rock and just die…and yet each wants to let the other know that he cares about him ever since Discord's reformation.
Discord: I'm just so afraid (Spike: So afraid)
Spike: To admit the mistake that I made (Discord: That I made)
Discord: Not knowing how cruel I was to you (Spike: Was to you)
Spike: But please know I do care about you (Discord: About you)
Once they get back into their proper bodies again, the two of them promise to talk/listen about each other's problems and give each other as much empathy as possible for the comfort they truly deserve from each other.
Discord: So now
Spike: I'll be here
Discord: To lend
An ear
Spike: And show
That I know
Both: Just how you feel
Each of them had no idea that the other would be like him because he thought he was more different than him. Spike's a little dragon; Discord's an entity of chaos. But now they see that they both are unique creatures living in Ponyville who have problems that can relate with each other.
Both: Hard to believe
That someone so
Different from me
Has gone through just
What I feel
Now I know his
Spike: Feelings are real (Discord: Feelings are real)
Discord now knows that the best way to lift both his spirits and Spike's is to comfort him with his empathy.
Discord: It'll help
You a lot
To know
You got
A friend
Who knows
Just how you feel
Spike also feels the same way, knowing that it will bring a friendly smile to both of their faces.
Spike: That's right
You will not
Be alone
If you got
A friend
Who knows
Just how you feel
It'll be wonderful to let one know just how the other feels if he were in his claws.
Both: A friend
Who knows
Just how you feel
"There! Garble and his gang have Discord trapped inside the castle ruins!" Spike quickly snapped out of it when Twilight spoke up and pointed at said ruins.
"Knowing those dragons," the violet Alicorn then said, "they'll probably be on guard to make sure that Discord doesn't escape."
"Oh, I'm so worried about Discord," Fluttershy whimpered. "Who knows what they're doing to him. What if they hurt him? Or what they—" Spike quickly stops her by taking her hooves into his claws.
"Fluttershy, don't worry," he said to her with confidence. "I'm sure Discord will be okay. But if he's not, I'll take it out on Garble."
"Oh…okay," she replied, a little convinced, "but although he sounds like a big bully…can you please not be too harsh on him?"
