"Everypony! Head outside towards the train station!" Twilight yelled.
"I'll see what I can do Twilight, and -"
"Repeat after me Discord, If the fire gets too bad, I will get out, cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye."
"If the fire gets too bad, I will get out." Twilight raised her eyebrow to Discord as he didn't say the Pinkie Promise.
"Don't expect me o do that silly promise thing,". The fire roars behind them and Discord shoved Twilight towards the door.
"Go Twilight, I will do what I can here." Without waiting for her reply, he walked just outside the room that held the fire. He snapped his lion paw and he expected to see water to poor the fire out, he didn't see water and the fire burst outside the room. Then he snapped for a fire extinguisher, again nothing. Okay this is ridiculous. He snapped his fingers to escape, but he stayed where he was. That's not good... He tried again, still there. RUN! He tripped over a chair and the fire surrounded him. Good bye my dears. He closed his eyes and waited for what he figured would be his death.
"WHERE IS HE! DISCORD!" Fluttershy called through the crowd, no one answered.
"Twilight, where is he!" Fluttershy cried to the princess.
"He hasn't come out yet, maybe he's about to." They continued to watch the entrance, when a firepony noticed them.
"Princess Twilight, is something bothering you?"
"Umm, yes, my friend, Discord, we can't find him."
"Does he have many animal parts on him?"
"YES! Have you seen him?" Fluttershy pushed Twilight out of the way then muttered sorry.
"He's on the stretcher, he got a very high degree burn from being trapped inside a barrier of fire,"
"WHAT!" Both mares gasped
"H-how could this happen? I told him to get out if things got bad!"
"We managed to get this footage from the room." The tape rolled back to where Discord was trying to summon things to put out the fire.
"H-his magic, it didn't work!"
"You know as well as I do Fluttershy, that his magic is different from other magic."
"But it always works for him, he knows how to control it!"
"If you want to come with us to the hospital, come now." with that, Fluttershy and Twilight left with the fireponies.
"He'll be okay, he'll be okay," Fluttershy tried to convince herself.
"He's still breathing, I think he's fine, for now" she added the last part to herself. Discord coughed in a loud hacking fit, this made Fluttershy look up at her husband. I need you Discord! Don't leave me please! Fluttershywatched as Discord's ear twitched, then his body shook. Is that supposed to be a magical imbalance? She opened her mouth to say something but Discord answered her question when he mumbled, "Can't you leave me in peace for 5 minutes, Tirek?" He opened his eyes and saw where he was.
"Why am I-" He coughed again.
"You've already forgotten you were in a horrible fire?"
"Oh, the fire," his ears dropped,"right" he glanced at his paw and claw and saw how charred they looked, he then remembered what caused him to look like this.
"My magic, it wasn't working."
"But you just-"
"Imbalances aren't the same as chaos magic. I can always feel imbalances, but my magic is a different story..." He trailed off when he looked at his wife. She needs me, and our foal, I have to figure out what happened to my magic, if I don't get it back than I can kiss the both of the goodbye. Discord sighed and winced as he shook again.
"I SWEAR TIREK-"
"Discord, honey, calm down, we will find out what happened to your magic, maybe you just didn't concentrate enough and it didn't work."
"Not the first time, I was well away from it and it didn't w- I know what happened! Tirek possesses a magic quit the opposite of alicorn magic."
"Dark magic?" Twilight guessed
"No, blo-" He coughed again, this time for much longer.
"Twilight can you go get him some water?"
"Sure," The alicorn went to the sink with a glass and filled it up with water. She gave it to Discord and he drank the glass.
"Discord, you were supposed to drink the glass of water."
"Oh that reminds me..." He took a breath in.
"Oh no!" Twilight tried to flee, but Discord grabbed her tail.
"Tell Fluttershy her lines as Cadence, and you be you Twilight."
"oh joy! Fluttershy you start it off with-"
"What was it that you needed?"
"Cadence!" Twilight hugged her sister-in-law as she walked into the room.
"Discord, that's your cue." Cadence winked.
"A little glass of water please
A fresh pressed hanky if I sneeze
Some tea with honey from the bees
Whenever you can brew it"
"I'll get your tea."
"And while I get a little rest
A teeny tiny small request
Some codfish oil for my chest
Poured from a crystal cruet"
"A crystal cruet?" Twilight rolled her eyes as she said that, unlike the show.
"My goodness, I'm a nincompoop
Because I fear I've got the croup
I need a vat of pumpkin soup
And scarves made out of zinnias
Did I say zinnias? I meant silk
Or something shiny of that ilk
And then I'll need some nice warm milk
And pastries from Abyssinia
And since my stomach's feeling crummy
Why not give my aching tummy
Something soothing, something yummy
Piled up with noodles?
Add a slice of homemade rye
With stacks of Swiss way up high
Served with sides of sweet mince pie
More basil; I need oodles!"
"Anything else?"
"I'll be grateful for your charity
Until the bitter end
Because I've heard that tenderness
Is what you lend an ailing friend
Tenderness, isn't that right, friend?"
"Right, but-"
"So, who's ready for my big reprise?
I'd like that glass of water please
Some magic spell to cure disease
A firm "gesundhoof" when I sneeze
A fresh bouquet of roses
Some lozenges will soon appease
My wheezing when I start to sneeze
A wig to keep me from the breeze
And blankets for my toes-es
Take tweezers out of my valise
And then massage my knobby knees
A bowl of peas, some extra cheese
A cuddle with a Pekingese
A singing harp who's named Louise
A goat on skis, a new trapeze
And more and more and more and more of these
And just because I oughta...
Make sure I'm drinking in the right
Amount of fluids day and night
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have just one little thing
Oh, would you please finally bring
Me that tiny glass
Of water?!"
"So did your throat just magically heal itself, you were coughing like crazy just a second ago."
"Hem, actually I was singing just a second ago Miss Literal."
"You're lucky you're crispy right now, because I would sooooo turn you into flames. LITERALLY!" Fluttershy stared at her best friend, then to Discord.
"Discord, you don't have to be so mean to Twilight, Twilight, you didn't have to snap like that."
"But he's/she's obnoxious" Discord and Twilight complained at the same time, then glanced at the other with a disgusted look on their face. I'm scared to see what my foal will turn out like, being chaotic and kind. Will they be an element in my hoof steps? Or follow in Discord's being chaotic? No offense love, but I really hope it follows in mine. She sighed and looked at just two of the beings that meant the world to her, more than her sweet animals, then shook her head
