THE KINDNESS IN CHAOS
CHAPTER 10
PART 1
FLUTTERSHY
The timid Pegasus woke with a start, her nerves tingling telling her something exciting was about to happen. For a minute Fluttershy couldn't remember what until, "oh my, it's the day we leave for canterlot!" The rosy maned mare flew out of bed and into her bathroom, swiftly brushing her mane before racing down the stairs, a smile lighting up her face. She swang into her living room seeing Discord laying on the couch. She plopped down next to him, still grinning. "Hey Flutters" he smiled in return, staring downs at the small mare. "Good morning Discord" she answered cheerily. He moved his talon, brushing her mane behind her ear, sending a shiver over her fur. "I'll go make breakfast." He grinned before departing into the kitchen. Flutterhsy sighed imaginings the feels she had just gotten from his touch.
"What are these wonderful feelings?"
She started singing.
"No words can describe"
Her soft voice tinkled into the air.
"Only his touch can give, oh I'm on a wild ride!"
She leapt of the couch, getting into the rhythm.
"Cause I feel like I'm floating in air"
She clutched her hoof to her chest, now singing openly.
"I swear I'm almost there!"
Her wing unfolded gracefully.
"Just a little higher, just a little higher!"
Her eyes fluttered shut as she sang.
"What are these emotions?"
"Erupting from my heart"
"That only his touch can give, only his touch can give!"
"Cause I feel like I'm floating in air!"
She started flapping her wings, the soft feathers letting off a light breeze.
"I swear I'm almost there, almost there!"
Her gentle voice grew slightly louder.
"What are these thoughts?"
",is it my heart or my brain?"
She asked still singing smoothly.
"Or am I going insane?"
"Cause I feel like I'm floating in air!"
"Only his touch can give, only his touch can give!"
She started flying into the air.
"Only his touch, can make me fly!"
She finished her singing, the last note held for a while before she dropped it and sat back on her couch. "Breakfast is served!" Discord came out of the kitchen smiling gleefully. He gave Fluttershy her breakfast and sat next to her on the couch.
DISCORD
They ate their breakfast in silence, the joy filled aroma still in the room. Discord watched the mare eat, her graceful hooves bringing good to her mouth, her teal eyes looking over it before it entered her mouth. He shivered as a strand of her pink mane fell out of it's brushed place and into her face. Taking a bold move he curled his long body around her back, his tail resting near her cutie mark, he moved his lion paw and brushed the hair back into place. He was about to move back but she hadn't reacted so he stayed there, his yellow eyes traveling over her beautiful face. She sighed before leaning onto her shoulder slightly. It felt like an electric shot had just shimmered down his spine. Her draped his lion paw over the butter coloured pegasi's shoulder. She turned her head so she could stare up into his eyes. "Fluttershy... I just wanted to say..," he trailed off as the mare abruptly leapt from his grasp. "Gosh look at the time, we have to pack now so we can make it to the train station!" She zoomed up the stairs, Discord sighed. "I will have you Fluttershy, I just need the right moment,"
FLUTTERSHY
Fluttershy finished stuffing the items she would need for the night into a small bag. She closed it and pressed the buttons, making sure it would stay closed. The then opened another bag, putting in it her foldable bird stand and some bird seed. She closed it and carried the bags down the stairs. When she entered the living room Discord was there, just one small bag about the size of a hoof was sitting in front of him. She cocked her head confused, how was he going to fit all his stuff in there? Discord suddenly opened it, inside seemed to be a massive amount if space. "That doesn't even make sense!" She squealed in shock. "I don't make sense my dear." He smirked holding up her chin with his talon. He retracted his claw before picking up his bag and hers too, walking out the door. She followed suit. "Birdies, come out my darlings it's time to go!" She walked among her garden, the selected choir birds coming and landing on Fluttershy's back. She nuzzled the one closest to her, the bluejay sitting on her shoulder. The pair trotted through the town, heading towards the train station hastily. Fluttershy ignored the stares the odd couple where receiving it was to be expected after all when you had the former evil lord of chaos by your side. When they arrived they couple trotted up the stairs and onto the platform, awaiting the arrival of her friends. "Howdy Fluttershai!" Applejack's voice cried over the noise of the crowd. The farm mare walked over to the couple, her bags dragged along with her. "Discord" she greeted the draconequus politely, but her eyes still had a lace of distrust threaded through them. "Fair Applejack, the element of honesty!" He bowed dramatically. Fluttershy and Applejack rolling their eyes of teal and green. Fluttershy watched the clock as some more of her friends arrived, now there was her, Applejack, Rainbowdash, pinkie pie and Twilight. They impatiently waited for Rarity, pinkie pie stuffing things unknown into her party cannon, twilight was engrossed in a book, Rainbowdash was stretching her wings ready to see the wonderbolts again, Applejack was just waiting patiently and Fluttershy had started up a conversation up with Discord. "So how's the Smooze going?" Fluttershy asked thoughtful. "He's fine, although he could use another hat, that one was getting old." Discord cheerfully replied back. "Treehugger?" He scowled back. "Oh she's wonderful, she's doing a study on animals like the manticore at the moment." Fluttershy smiled back. "Sorry I'm late everypony!" Rarity raced onto the platform dramatically. Twilight slammed her book shut. "Just in time, our train is arriving!" The lavender mare pointed towards the train now pulling up at the station. "Right, well let's go then!" The white unicorn's horn glowed as she picked up a whole clothing rack, a cloth strewn over it, keeping the dresses from being seen by prying eyes. Flutterhsy entered the train after her the birds still littering along her back.
Discord sat in the chair next to Fluttershy the lord of chaos relaxing into his seat. Fluttershy's other friends filtered into the seats around her. Discord leant forward, making sure no-one else was watching, and tried lifting the cloth from the rack. "Don't you dare!" Rarity launched herself from her seat, covering the rack. "Not just a little insy winsy peek?" Discord smirked, lifting a corner of the cloth. Rarity slapped his claws away, Discord rubbing them in ow. "You can see tomorrow night!" She snorted holding her head high while Discord rolled his eyes annoyed. The train started moving throwing them all forwards before pushing them back in their seats. "Woah!" Spike clutched a yellow pole warily. "Ya'll right there sugarcube?" Applejack nudged him gently. "Hehe yeah" he chuckled embarrassed. Flutterhsy smiled at the baby dragon, before turning to look out the window. The trees zoomed past, looking like green blurs before her eyes. "Wonderful view isn't it?" Discord asked cheerily. " yeah." She answered truthfully. "But do you what would make it even better?" He smirked. "Umm, no..." She replied confusion in her eyes. He snapped his claws, making one if the trees turn purple with pink and blue spots.
"D-" she started about to squeal at him before he shoved his paw in front of her mouth. Rainbowdash glared at him, Discord waving back with a little smile, Rainbowdash rolling her magenta eyes as the lord of chaos. Fluttershy pulled his paw away from her mouth snorting at him. He shrugged apologetically, patting the element of kindness on her soft furred back. The timid Pegasus blushed softly, leaning away from the tingles it sent down her spine. Discord frowned at her, the butter coloured mare looking away from his intriguing gaze. Suddenly the train swerved to the right, spike falling off of his seat. "Woah!" He cried as the small reptile tumbled to the ground, Applejack instantly picking him back up. "Ya'll right there?" The orange mare asked concerned. "Yeah..." The dragon blushed embarrassed. Fluttershy heard a chatter of birds, the Pegasus looking up to meet the stares of her birds, all perched on a horizontal metal bar. She stood on her hind legs, so she could talk to them and calm them down. "It's ok little birdies, as long as you hold on, you'll be fine!" She comforted her birds. The train lurched again and she tumbled a bit, although she was instantly straightened. The soft mare looked down, realising Discord was holding her, she blushed and looked away, sitting back down. She looked at Discord again was that a blush on his muzzle? Realisation Dawned on Fluttershy. Does he feel the same weird way about me as I do about him? She thought curiously deciding to test it. She moved her hoof, it touching his fluffy shoulder, the draconequus shooting upright his spine instantly straightning. His blush darkened. What does this mean? Fluttershy asked herself confused.
Discord
What did she touch me for? Maybe she wanted an answer to a question? Discord debated in his mind as he felt his blush darken dramatically. This crush was going to far, but he couldn't control his feeling, he guessed it was part of being the lord of chaos. Speaking of chaos, Discord was restrained from his magic, and he didn't like it, it made him uncomfortable. Very uncomfortable. He needed to Let it out, a mischievous spirit inside of him encouraging the draconequus to act. He moved his talons behind his back, before snapping them, almost instantly laughing at the result. Pinkie pie had lost her mouth again, and none of the other ponies had noticed. Discord struggled to hold his laughter in as the pink mare waved her hooves in the air panicking. Still none if the other mares noticed pinkie pie, all of them but Fluttershy having a conversation. "No, we need to quadruple check the checklist! Spike?" Twilight growled, annoyed, the dragon getting ready for the fourth round of checklisting. "Twilight, we've already checked the checklist three times, we don't need another one!" Rainbow dash rolled her magenta eyes, spike retracting his claws awaiting their task. "No, we do need one, what if we forget something, what if the something we forget is important, what if that important thing could change the whole of the gal- oof!" The lavender alicorn started flying upwards in her panic before hitting the roof of the moving train. "Ok, but surely three is enough darling?" Rarity asked politely. "Yeah, you usually on,y check it four tames" Applejack butted into the annoying conversation. "No we need-" Twilight started before spike cut in. "Make up your minds already!" He cried annoyed. Pinkie pie waved at them, sweat trickling down her forehead. Fluttershy noticed the party pony. "Oh my, Discord you give her her mouth back this instant!" She demanded unimpressed. Discord sighed unhappily before snapping his talons. The others stared as the poofy maned mare rose upwards, sucking a big breath in. "Uhoh.." Rainbowdash saw what was coming. "Oh my I almost forgot what it was like to talk, I was holding so much in! Could you imagine what it was like not to talk!" She ranted on once more. "Wait a second, this feels like déjà vu..." Pinkie pie stroked a moustache on her face she had pulled of nowhere, her blue eyes creased in thought. "Pinkie just no..." Applejack sighed at the familiar moustache. Twilight glared at Discord. "What, too stereotypical for me, maybe I do need some new tricks..." He thought stroking his goatee. Twilight signed grumpily and turned back to talk to her friends.
The train eventually pulled up at the station, the brakes squealing. Discord stood up, flexing his muscles. When out on the platform he started doing very flexible stretches, his long neck curling under his forelegs, his back ones doing the splits. "Discord.. Remember no chaos..." She whispered to him under her breath. "Oh don't worry my dear, this isn't chaos just my amazingly flexible body!" The draconequus gloated, going back to his original form. The six mares and draconequus slowly walked along, heading the direction of canterlot castle, the marvellous sight before them a,img the ponies eyes widen. "Nothing compared to my castle..." He mumbled at there awed faces. He suddenly got an image of Fluttershy floating In the air of his castle, her gorgeous mane caressing her face in soft wavy bangs.
