He woke up with start, cold sweat dripping from his body as his night clothes clinging from his body. He looked at his melting clock on the wall, It's Eight o'clock in the morning, he put a hand to his face still sweating and breathing heavily as if he ran for miles and now catching his breath.
" What the hell was that, I can't remember what it was but I know it was a nightmare". Flashes of a dark space with chains go through his mind. " That's right, I was chained, in a dark space with no end in sight."
Another image goes through Discord's mind, it was Fluttershy, unconscious, hanging by chains on her wrists looking like a lifeless puppet. Discord's head shot up faster than a bullet, "That's right! Fluttershy was there too, I-I couldn't reach her, what was that dream suppose to mean."
He looks out the window into his confusing, twisting dimension with a thoughtful look on his weirdly, tan skin. Scrunching his bushy, white eyebrows he speaks, " I should see her, it is Tea Time Tuesday after all, maybe that will cool my nerves."
Swinging his legs to the side of his bed, he turns his head to look at his white and red checkered sheets. He scrunched up his face seeing that he soaked his bed, "Geez, it looks like I pissed myself last night with all that sweat on the sheets."
He turned his head back forward, he swung off his bed and into a hole in the floor. He reappears in the kitchen through a hole in the ceiling looking clean and fresh, he seems to be wearing the clothes that he wore when he asked Fluttershy to skate with him that one time. "God do I love magic, makes everything so much easier."
He grabbed a bowl that was galloping around the kitchen, grabbing a jug from the cabinets, and cereal box from the fridge. he began to rip up the jug and box putting the shreds into the bowl. The jug pieces became orange juice and the box pieces became reese puffs. When he was done ripping, he picked up the bowl and drank it in one gulp. "Ok, now, go clean yourself up, ok? Also, tell everyone to have fun while I'm gone, make a mess I don't care, as long 'you guys' are clean." Putting the bowl down, he heads out.
Opening his back door, he was already in ponyville, after walking out the door and closing it, it puffs out of existence. Heading towards the direction of fluttershy's cottage, while he was walking he passes a couple that were on a date. Right when he was about to completely pass them he hears one of them say it, "I love you".
Stopping in his tracks, he begins to ponder and wonder around this new discovery. 'Love, is that it, love. No, it can't be, a being like me can't love. I have a heart of stone,"
He looks at his reflection in a shop window, "Same as always, nothing really changed". Touching his face, he see one thing, his eyes, "Maybe, one thing has changed, my eyes aren't as cold now. Looking more closely I think more things have changed too, like my atmosphere it seems more welcoming."
He placed his hand on his chest where his heart should be, "And I'm kinder, might sound like I'm talking big but it's true, people tell me that more now, and I've been feeling new emotions now, so maybe, I don't have a heart of stone no more."
His reflection changes to Fluttershy smiling sweetly with her light petal pink hair flowing making her have an angel-like image. Discord smiles when he sees this image, "All because of her, man, how much she has changed me, it's surprising really, a shy girl who couldn't stand up for herself changed me."
Closing his eyes, he shaked his head slowly, a loving smile formed on his face. "You made this new me possible, if Celestia didn't suggest reforming me that day this wouldn't happen, being friends with you wouldn't have happen…" Clutching his shirt he continues, " loving you would have never happened."
A distant crack could be heard, but discord didn't hear it for he found his answer. "So that IS the feeling I've been having when I think of her, it's love."
Another crack rang through dark dimension, you could see angry, glowing, purple eyes in the dark void, a woman's voice whispers, "Someone has broken the rules of the story."
Back with Discord he walks with happiness and pride as he walks through the dirt streets of ponyville. 'I'm in love, I finally have this feeling back after all this time, I haven't had this feeling sense… sense…". He stops with a dark shadow over his eyes, "sense my crush on Celestia when we were younger and that feeling disappeared after she rejected me YEARS ago. So to have this feeling back makes me happy but nervous… what if…"
Shaking his head and slapping his cheeks, putting a determine face on, " Listen to yourself Dissy! You sound like a quitter that hasn't even tried to get into the game! That was the past with a different girl, this is now with an even better girl and you truly love her for who she is! You only liked Celestia because she was the first being to try to talk to you besides your parents cause she pitied you, she said so herself, but now you have someone who is worth loving."
Shooting his arm up in the air he shouts, "This time! I'm not letting this one slip through my fingers! This year I'm gonna ask her to come to the Gala with me as my date!"
Right after he said that he ran into a tree, falling right on his ass, "Ow, but first I should watch where I'm going." Looking around he realized he made it to Fluttershy's cottage. " I need to stop forgetting that I walk and talk at the same time." He looked around the tree to look at the cottage door, "I hope she didn't hear that."
Looking down he looks at himself he says, " Scratch that, I hope she did hear 'or' see that."
Getting up, he dust himself off, "Geez, this is my second favorite outfit and I went and dirtied it up like a fool." He walked up to the door, still grumbling to himself. Clearing his throat he knocks on the door, inside you can hear a soft "coming'. Straightening himself up, the door open a little revealing on shy, ocean blue eye.
"Oh!" The door swings open fully, "Discord you made it, I was worried you wouldn't make it." There stood in the doorway was pale skinned Fluttershy, wearing a big, puffy, yellow sweater with blue jean shorts that showed her long, slender legs that had brown roman sandals on that showed light green painted toes.
Discord smiled sweetly down at her, "I wouldn't miss this for the world." A blush goes across Fluttershy's face, she crosses her arms behind her back, bending one of her legs, looking down she answers, " Oh… really… thank you… that means a lot to me… well um… please come inside… I'm making the tea right now so please wait as I uh… do that…"
"Heh, you're welcome, my dear, now please go fetch that tea because I hear the pot whistling,"
"What! Oh No!" Rushing to the kitchen you could hear oh shots even when she made it in the kitchen. Chuckling to himself he sits himself down on the red fainting couch, right when he got comfortable he heard thumping. Looking down, he sees none other than Angel, the grumpy, white bunny. Rolling his eyes he scoots over to make room for the white fluff ball, Angel jumps into the spot and makes himself comfortable.
You see after two years they learnt to tolerate each other to make sure they don't make a certain someone mad.
Coming back with tea in hand, Fluttershy sat down next to Discord on the couch, giving him a teacup she speaks, "So any stories you want to tell today or maybe any problems you want to tell me… if you want to of course."
"Well... there is one thing I want to ask you." He soft put the cup on the table next to him.
"Oh, and what is that… may I ask?" Fluttershy asked softly as she sets her cup in her lap. Discord sees this and calmly took the cup and set it next to his, turning back to Fluttershy he was stunned to see the ocean, blue eyes staring at him with an intensity that he couldn't read them.
"I wanted to ask… if maybe… you would like to… um…"Scratching his head, looking flustered he looked to find the words. "yes?" It seemed as if Fluttershy was leaning closer. His face going red from the closeness he blurts, "Iwaswonderingifyou liketogowithmetotheGalaasmydate!"
Blinking, she tries to comprehend what he just said and when she did, her whole face went red like a red apple from AppleJack's farm. "You want m-me to be your date for the G-Gala?"
Still red and Scratching his head he answers, " Y-Yeah, that is if you want too."
"Are you kidding me! I would love to be your Date for the Gala!"
CRACK
Both shocked, they stared into eachothers eyes. " Are you serious, you're not lying to me are you?" He takes one of her hand into his, "Because if it is, I don't know what I'll do." Putting her free hand on his cheek, she softly stroked it, " I'll love to be your date to the Gala and that is no lie."
CRACK
Suddenly Fluttershy was lifted into the air, " Discord put me down!" Discord had hugged her around the waist and stood up, twirling around like the ballerina in 'The Nutcracker'. "Hell No! I'm to happy tell let you go! Hahaha!" Soon enough Discord's laughter got Fluttershy giggling to full on laughter. As they twirled and spun, for they couldn't keep their excitement in for what tomorrow night will bring.
What they didn't know was that in a dark space ,full of white cracks, the purple, glowing eyed women watched them through a book that she held, and the last thing we hear before it all goes black is,
"So they are the ones who are breaking the rules, I better keep an eye on them."
