"Today is today, the day after yesterday, the day before tomorrow, today is the day of the Gala."
"And I don't know what to wear!" There curled up on the floor looking depressed sat Discord.
"I really should have thought this through better," Discord looked at his open closet which looked like a normal, cluttered closet. "Ugh, I wore orange the first year, which probably looked dorky with that hat, second year, I wore a Zebra pattern which I think made Rarity mad… now this year… hm…"
Standing up he glared at the closet looking ready to tear it apart, " Maybe I should wear another animal pattern, would crocodile look good on me? No, no animal patterns this year, your date is Fluttershy remember don't want to scare her do you."
He looked around his room for any ideas, he spotted his white and red checkered sheets. "Hm… that seems like a good design for a suit." Snapping his finger a suit the same pattern as his sheets puffed onto his body. "Hm,,, no, I look goofy, maybe I should look more formal, maybe add some black."
He snapped his fingers again and a beautiful suit that made him look handsome and mysteries that would even make Rarity blush. He wore a black jacket, with a tail split in the back, that was open revealing red victorian looking vest, underneath the vest was a white dress shirt with a black long tie that was tucked under the vest, and of course black dress pants and shoes.
" Man, do I look good, I'm surprised, usually I would look weird or goofy, Rarity will be so proud of me." Pulling back his jacket sleeve revealed a silver watch, " I better go pick up Fluttershy, don't want to be late do we."
He stepped forward but there was a wall in front of him but that didn't faze him because he walked through it like he was Harry Potter going through that brick wall in the first movie. When he walked completely through he was right in front of Fluttershy's Cottage, straightening his tie he knocked on the door but with the back of hand.
The door opened slowly letting the light from inside pour at making it look like it was the entrance to heaven. It made it even more heavenly when an angel stepped out, Fluttershy wore a long dress that touch the ground and drag a little and was layered like an almost, fully open rose, from the top of the ,sleeveless, dress it was white but as your eyes travelled down you could see it faded to a very light pink, and to top the cake was a little pink rose on her waist.
While Discord's hair was in a low ponytail and his bangs were gelled back, Fluttershy's was pulled back into a heart shaped french braid, with another little pink rose on the tip of the heart, while the rest of her hair that wasn't in the braid, flowed down her back like a pink waterfall.
"Holy shit,,, I must the luckiest guy ever to have the most beautiful girl as my date to the Gala,,," Discord was basically starstruck when he saw her, his eye were as big as dinner plates with hearts in them and his jaw Literally dropped to the floor with his tongue hanging out with saliva pooling out.
Blushing madly, she whisper "I'm not that pretty, there will probably be prettier girls at the Gala,,, besides you look better than I", she looked away shyly, holding her arms feeling insecure.
After hearing that he blinked and picked up his jaw and looked it back in place. Putting a cool front on, he then pulled out a bouquet of yellow roses and pink daffodils from out of no where.
"Yes, there will prettier girls there, to other guys, but to me, your beauty where none can compare, also you and I are into different categories. I maybe good looking in the handsome division but you are on the top category of beauty, my, you are so beautiful I'm only a speck of dust to you."
He hands the bouquet to her and when she grasped it he bowed like a prince greeting the princess. "And I'm honored to take you to this grand event as your date."
Blushing so hard, she looked like a stop light, "Oh my… no one has ever talked to me like this before… I'm flattered… thank you… to tell you the truth… you are very handsome tonight… well, when are you not, you're probably the best looking guy I've ever see…"
Getting a cocky smirk from hearing this, Discord offered her his arm, "ready to go?" She hesitantly put his arm in his, and asked, "so… uh… how are we gonna get there… cause… I don't see a carriage…"
"Heh" Discord whistled and in the distance a terrifying shrill cry came from the everfree forest, scared Fluttershy tightened her hold on his arm. Bursting out of the forest was a black horse with a mane and tail of flame, also having fire coming from it's eyes and hooves, it was a nightmare horse.
"oh my" when seeing this creature see tried to hide behind Discord. Twisting his head to look at her, he gave her sympathetic look, "It's alright, Crimson Flame won't hurt you, she basically harmless as long as you don't anger her. So please step out from behind me and meet her."
Looking up at him with unsure eyes she speaks, "what if she doesn't like me you know the legend about nightmare's, it means death if you come across one." Turning fully around putting his hands on her shoulders for reinsurance, bending down to eye level with her, "Trust me when I say she's gonna love you and won't hurt you."
She looked into his yellow and red eyes to see if there was any lie to it but there was none, he was telling the truth. Relaxing, she sighs " I trust you Discord fully."
Smiling, he gently took her hand and led her closer to the Flaming creature. When they were close enough, Discord lifted Fluttershy's hand up to the horse's head. Shakingly she petted the head, Crimson Flame welcomely nuzzled her hand making her giggle as the soft fur brushed the palm of her hand. "She's not burning my hand it's more like a comforting warmth."
"See! What did I tell you, she likes you! Now are you ready to go, don't want to be late do you?" Smiling, she shook her head not wanting to be late for the Grand Galloping Gala. "Good." Taking her by the waist, he set her in the black saddle, which wasn't there before. He then got on behind her, one hand wrapped her waist to make sure she wouldn't fall off ,since she had to ride side saddle style because of the dress, while the other hand was holding the reins.
With a soft kick to the side, they were off, the journey was quiet but they were quite content with just holding each other. Awhile later, they made it to the castle they were only a few minutes late.
Discord, let Crimson go on her merry way and that he would call her later when it was time to go.
Walking arm in arm, they entered, the first to recognize them was Celestia and Twilight. Celestia wore a dress that were the colors of the sunset, it complimented her curves as she had a split in the side to show one of her long tan legs, wearing white, long gloves and white heels. Twilight wore a short, puffy dress of dark purples and blues, wearing black gloves, dark purple heels, with black lace leggings.
Celestia's hair was curled with a braid on top of her head making it look like she had a hairband on. Though, twilights hair was in a loss, side bun and wearing a small dark purple hat with some black lace and ribbon.
"Aw, welcome Discord, Fluttershy, so glad you could make it," Celestia spoke with welcoming voice.
"Fluttershy, why did you come with Discord and not with me and the gang?" Said Twilight with confusion but curiosity as to what her friend was thinking.
"Well… um… you see, I came here with Discord cause… uh… he's my date for tonight…" Fluttershy spoke with unsurety for she was scared of her friends reaction.
"Really? Why? No offense and all but he's not the most 'handsome' or 'kindest' person, no offense Discord."
"None taken, I know I ain't that good looking in many people's books and kindness isn't really my thing, that's Fluttershy's gig." He said with shrugging.
"See even Discord agreed with me, so can I ask why him?" Twilight said raising her hand towards him.
"Because one, he asked, and two I wanted to go as his date." Fluttershy, looked away bashfully, tightening her hold on his arm. " Now… i-if you excuse us… we're gonna go and enjoy t-the party." She pulled on Discord arm, "it was nice seeing you too."
"You too, fluttershy! Discord! Have a nice time!" yelled Celestia as they walked away but they didn't hear what was said next.
" Princess, you know this shouldn't be allowed, why don't you stop it."
Sadly looking down Celestia answers, " You know I have no power to stop them, Discord is more powerful now with the elements gone, besides they look happy, why should I stop them?"
"Fine, if you won't stop them then I will, this is against the rules and we all must follow."
The voice disappeared leaving Celestia alone, "I hope that the worst won't happen, why must we stop this true love it's so sad, if something goes against the rules of the story it or they will have consciences to face." Sighing she want back to what she was doing before Discord and Fluttershy came.
Back with the couple they were having the time of their lives, talking with each other or others, mostly Discord talked then, eating delicious food, and their favorite part was when they danced with each other. Right now, they were slow dancing holding each other close as they just molded with each other. Then Discord spoke softly into Fluttershy, "Fluttershy, I need to tell you something cause I need to get this off my chest."
"Yes Discord, what do you want to tell me." she whispered against his chest.
"I-I… We been friend for three years now… but I don't feel any friendship or that for you," He said trying to word it right.
"WHA!" Fluttershy head shot up faster then she very gone before, she was about to speak but Discord put a finger on her lips to shush her.
"Listen before you go off on me, ok, good. As I was Saying I don't feel friendship for you is because…" taking a big breath to calm his nerves before he spoke again. " Is Because I lo-"
"ENOUGH!"
Startled, Fluttershy and Discord jump and look around to see where the voice came from but what they saw started them more. Everyone was frozen in place and no sound could be heard, it's like time had stopped.
"What the hell is going on, what the fuck is wrong with everyone, who's voice was that?!"
" You really shouldn't curse so much Discord it's really unbecoming of you."
"W-who's there? W-what is going on? Why is everyone like this?"
"No need to fear Fluttershy, this will be over soon, we're just gonna talk somewhere else."
"Who are you! How do you know our names and what do you mean we're going somewhere else! We're not going anywhere!" Discord tightened his hold on Fluttershy as he took on a protective stance.
"I knew you were gonna say that so I'm gonna take you even if you don't like it or not!"
Two pairs of chains appeared on both Fluttershy and Discord's wrist, "what the hell!" The chains then forcibly pulled the couple from each other, they tried to reach out to each other but their arms were pulled behind their backs and were just dragged farther from each other.
"No! Fluttershy! No! No! NO! FLUTTERSHY!" Farther and farther they were dragged from each other.
"Discord! Help!" As the got farther from each other it got darker and darker they, they almost couldn't see each other anymore.
In the darkness watching was the glowing, purple eyed women as she saw the scene take place.
"This wouldn't have happened if you didn't break the rules."
One final time the two yelled out each others name before it went completely black.
