A.N. I also decided to further spoof Disney by having Discord do sort of a combination of It's Too Good to Be True (Fun and Fancy Free), Kiss the Girl (The Little Mermaid), and Upendi (The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride) for Fluttershy and Arbor Guard. Only there won't be any singing, just music.

The next day Arbor Guard and Fluttershy walked to a spot where they could have their lunch picnic, only to find themselves on a small cloud-like boat with a heart for a back. The boat was on a river, with cloud-like land on other side. Valentine-themed trees and plants covered the cloud-like land, and heart-shaped lanterns hung by themselves in the air. Romantic music started playing as the boat sailed down the river.

Arbor Guard and Fluttershy were startled at first, but then looked at each other knowingly and giggled. They knew Discord was behind this, and they didn't mind. If nothing else they were at least glad that Discord supported them being together. So, they decided to just enjoy the ride.

"Good so far...they're at least liking it..." Discord said to himself, watching from where Arbor Guard and Fluttershy couldn't spot or hear him.

He suddenly heard burbling.

"Oh hi Smoozie... Smoozie!" Discord double-took behind him and sure enough saw The Smooze. "Uh, heh, I can explain."

The Smooze burbled again.

"Uh...well...actually...yes." Discord said before clearing his throat. "Yes I'm trying to help Fluttershy officially end up with her very special somepony. You see I secretly visited Cadance not long after Arbor Guard showed up. Not many stallions have been able to really befriend Fluttershy before, so I started to have a good feeling about Arbor. However I am the Spirit of Chaos, not the Spirit of Love, and so couldn't be sure whether Arbor was meant to be with Fluttershy or not. Because of that I talked to Cadance about how you can be sure that two ponies are meant to be together, and she said that she's the only one who really has that sort of power. After explaining to her about Fluttershy and Arbor - to make sure that she wouldn't get the wrong idea - she made a deal with me: she would give me a special lens that would allow me to see whether Fluttershy and Arbor Guard are meant to be together or not, as long as I didn't go overboard with my magic and returned the lens to her after making sure either way."

The Smooze burbled again.

"Considering what I can do with my magic no this is not going overboard." Discord retorted. "I'm not even going to do anything else today apart from returning Arbor Guard and Fluttershy home after their romantic ride is over. I just wanted to set up the proper mood so that they'll kiss and find out for sure that they really are meant to be together, the lens said so."

Discord held up the lens, which was similar to a magnifying glass only heart-shaped and pink, and sure enough when Discord hovered it over Fluttershy and Arbor Guard he and The Smooze could see a heart where Fluttershy and Arbor's bodies were supposed to be.

The Smooze burbled.

"Well I'm a good friend now anyway, and...well while I am partly doing this to make Fluttershy happy..." Discord now actually looked sad. "The other truth of the matter is I have no idea how long my lifespan really is, I mean I may be immortal for all I know...and Fluttershy isn't. Don't tell anyone else this, but I'm also ensuring that there'll be future Fluttershys for me to be friends with."

The Smooze burbled.

"Oh yeah, I am the only one who can understand you..." Discord muttered.

The Smooze then wrapped a bit of himself around Discord like an arm and burbled.

"I know I'll always have you, but...well to be honest if it wasn't for Fluttershy not even we would be friends today. She taught me how important friendship really is, and because of that she'll always be special to me."

The Smooze nodded understandingly.

A.N. I'm not really sure whether The Smooze can actually talk or not, but I figured that if he can then he didn't say much during the Gala because Discord is the only one who can understand him anyway.

Meanwhile, Arbor Guard and Fluttershy were still enjoying the boat ride. The romantic atmosphere soon got to them, enough for them to snuggle up. After a couple hours or so they felt themselves unable to pull away, and their muzzles drew closer as well. Finally, they kissed.

"Good. I'll let them enjoy the ride a bit longer while I return the lens to Cadance." Discord smiled approvingly. "Be right back."

The Smooze nodded.

Discord soon appeared in the Crystal Empire and looked for Cadance. He soon found her playing with Flurry Heart.

"Ah Discord, I take it everything worked out perfectly?" Cadance smiled, noticing his happy expression.

"It did, Fluttershy and Arbor Guard now know that they're meant to be together." Discord held out the lens for Cadance to take. "Thank you."

"Anything for true love," Cadance poofed the lens out of existence. "And my friends."

Discord smiled at that and left.

When he returned he saw that Arbor Guard and Fluttershy fell asleep in each other's hooves, and decided to poof them back into the meadow where they were going to have their picnic.

Arbor Guard and Fluttershy woke up a few minutes later due to becoming really hungry.

"Huh...guess we fell asleep." Arbor Guard said.

"Yes, I guess the music got to us." Fluttershy smiled.

"Not to mention...the kiss..." Arbor guard blushed.

Fluttershy blushed too, but also smiled.

They then had their picnic, and talked about the future as they ate. Arbor Guard decided to move into Ponyville permanently of course, but wondered if it would still be appropriate to continue living with Fluttershy now that they were dating. Fluttershy figured that as long as they slept in separate bedrooms it shouldn't be a problem. They also decided to tell their friends the good news tomorrow and let the rest of today be just about them.

That didn't stop them from bringing up that boat ride to Discord later that evening though.

"Hey Discord, thanks for the boat ride." Arbor Guard smiled. "We had a good time."

"Uh, yes well...you're welcome." Discord said sheepishly, having hoped that they had brushed off the boat ride as a dream.

"Oh it's okay, we know that you were trying to help." Fluttershy smiled. "And we're touched that you support us so much."

"Well I do want to see you happy, plus I wanted to make up for the way I first acted around Tree Hugger." Discord smiled.

"Oh we both forgave you for that a long time ago. Oh, pardon me I have to serve my animal friends their dinner. Would you like to help me Arbor?"

"In a moment first I have something to say to Discord." Arbor Guard smiled before turning to Discord. "Thank you for seeing me as good enough to be with Fluttershy."

"Well you're kind, love nature like Fluttershy, and have been a good friend to me as well as her, so of course I saw you as good enough." Discord shrugged as if it was no big deal.

"Even so: thanks." Arbor Guard held out a hoof.

Discord looked at it for a few seconds and smiled.

"Again: you're welcome." He shook it.

Arbor Guard then helped Fluttershy feed her animals, and even Discord decided to join in.
