Chapter 2
"Discord, how do you feel?" Twilight asked, still feeling unsure if the spell worked.
"Besides the head ache, I'm fine" Discord responded. Twilight expected some side effects.
"You need to rest, I'll let you rest at my home until you feel better" Fluttershy said smiling. Discord responded by smiling back.
"Thank you, but I'm fine I insist" Discord responded.
"Besides, he ain't leaving until he fixes what he did!" Applejack yelled, pointing her hoof down to show the still submerged farm.
"I did this?" Discord asked, looking down. "I just thought the weather ponies werejerks" Discord said, flinched, and then put his paw on his hand. "This head ache is really annoying."
"Don't call us jerks, you're the one who did this!" Rainbow yelled. Discord shook his head a bit.
"Discord you aren't ok, you need to rest" Fluttershy said, she wanted to make it up to Discord for reacting the way she did earlier.
"No, I need to fix my mistake first" Discord said, he lowered his paw and then snapped. A white flash emitted, making everypony shield their eyes again. When they opened their eyes, the saw they were on the ground, not on ice anymore.
"That's much better" Applejack said, looking around to make sure the trees were ok. "Thanks" she added, looking more mad than grateful.
"It's no problem" Discord said, still rubbing his head.
"Discord, you need to rest" Fluttershy said loudly.
"I assure you lying in bed doing absolutely nothing will not help me" Discord said, sounding like he had trouble saying those words. Once again he had a paw on his forehead, obviously in pain.
"Are you ok?" Twilight asked, were these side effects harsher than she thought?
"Yes, sorry I'm fine" Discord said, calming down a bit, he then turned to Rainbow. "Sorry about bursting out like that, I guess this headache is getting to me" Discord said, removing his paw from his head. This apology stunned Rainbow a bit.
"Yeah fine whatever" Rainbow said, her anger quickly vanishing. Discord then turned to the still worried Fluttershy.
"I think you're right, I do need to rest a bit" Discord said.
"You can rest at my place if you promise to keep the cottage on the ground" Fluttershy joked, hoping to get Discord to laugh.
"I promise" Discord said, he didn't laugh.
"Just let me know if you need anything" Fluttershy said to Discord who was laying down on her sofa, he shrunk himself a little to fit better.
"Thank you" He said quietly, adjusting the icepack Fluttershy gave him. With that Fluttershy went to the kitchen to prepare some tea for Discord. Discord just laid there, he could easily just poof up some pills to clear up the headache but he didn't want to use his chaos magic, it felt odd to him now.
"What's wrong with me?" Discord thought out loud, loud enough for Fluttershy to hear him. She was worried, was he feeling worse or something? Fluttershy was starting to regret letting Twilight use that spell, she should've been more patient with him.
"Discord, will you be ok?" Fluttershy asked from the kitchen. No response. "Discord?" Fluttershy called again. He was still not responding, now she was getting worried. She quickly walked to where he was. She found him asleep, or at least she hoped he was asleep. She calmed down when she heard him snore.
"Don't scare me like that" she quietly said to the sleeping draconequus. She felt Angel poke her and she looked down to him, he looked irritated. "Now Angel, he's changed now so he won't mess with the cottage again" Fluttershy reassured, Angel didn't look the least bit convinced. Fluttershy thought Discord was getting sick, he looked worried while asleep, as if he was having a bad dream. Then again maybe he is having a bad dream, but do his kind have bad dreams?
"Are you ok?" Discord asked, snapping Fluttershy from her thoughts.
"Oh sorry, I thought you were sleeping" Fluttershy said.
"Well I was, until your little bunny friend decided it was time for me to wake up" Discord said, pointing to his foot. Fluttershy saw Angel trying to push Discord off the sofa but he was simply too big.
"Angel, you shouldn't have woken him up" Fluttershy said, Angel responded with rabbit bickers. "I know he wasn't the best guest last time but that is still rude of you to do" Fluttershy responded.
"You understand him?" Discord asked.
"No but I can tell what he means" Fluttershy told him. Angel again said something while looking mad.
"Do I want to know what he said?" Discord joked, Fluttershy shook her head, Discord then sighed and leaned towards Angel. "Listen, right now I just want to be by myself so here" Discord said as he summoned a bowl of carrots. Angel eyed it carefully, then grabbed one and hopped away. Fluttershy was surprised at how Discord handled the situation but before she could compliment him he turned over, as if to avoid her glance.
"Discord, are you ok?" Fluttershy asked. He didn't respond. "Discord?" She called again.
"Can I tell you something?" Discord asked without turning to her. Fluttershy was getting concerned again.
"Yes, you can tell me anything" Fluttershy reassured. Discord turned to Fluttershy, she has never seen him like that, he looked utterly defeated.
"I feel as if I lost all my purpose" he whispered.
"Spike, take a letter" Twilight said.
"Alright" Spike said, pulling out a quilt and paper.
"Dear Princess Celestia, I am happy to inform you that we have successfully reformed Discord, but we did so using a reforming spell we located. Although the methods are questionable I will keep an eye on Discord to be sure he remains reformed, I will make it my priority to help him with his new life if he needs it. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle" Twilight said out loud. Spike written all that down a second later he engulfed it with his dragon fire and it was sent to Celestia.
"Done" Spike told Twilight.
"Thank you Spike" Twilight responded, as if on cue her stomach then rumbled and she sheepishly smiled at Spike. "I guess I haven't eaten in a while" she said.
"I'll whip us up some food" Spike said excitingly as he ran to the kitchen, he was hungry too. Just as Spike entered the kitchen, a bright flash emitted in the middle of the room, causing Twilight to shield her eyes. When she looked again she was shocked to see her teacher.
"Princess Celestia?" Twilight asked out loud. Celestia looked very serious.
"Twilight Sparkle, you do not know the extent of what you did, we must urgently go to Discord" Celestia said. Twilight was confused but nodded her head, since when does Princess Celestia make mistakes.
"Alright" Twilight confusingly said.
"Where is Discord right now?" Celestia asked.
"He should be with Fluttershy in her cottage" Twilight said.
"We don't have a moment to lose" she said. A glow from Celestia's horn and then they were gone.
"You want pancakes?" Spike called from the kitchen, unaware of what happened.
"I'm here!" She heard Pinkie yell from the door. She immediately ran to the door, opened it, and politely shushed Pinkie.
"He's sleeping" Fluttershy whispered.
"Oops, my bad" Pinkie whispered back as she tip-toed in. She giggled at the sight of Discord sleeping soundly. Fluttershy earlier asked Pinkie to help befriend the new Discord but now she needs new kind of help.
"Oh Pinkie, I don't know what to do" Fluttershy sighed.
"What's the matter?" Pinkie asked.
"He's been feeling down ever since the spell, he told me he felt he lost all his purpose" Fluttershy said disappointingly. Pinkie gasped but shoved a hoof in her face mid-gasp.
"Oh no, this is like the time I worked on the rock farm and I felt like I had no purpose because I didn't know how good I was at throwing parties and how much I liked it until I saw the rainbow that made Equestria" Pinkie quickly whispered, Fluttershy barely registering any of that.
"What should I do?" Fluttershy asked.
"We must do therapy" Pinkie whispered loudly as she walked over to the sleeping Discord.
"Therapy?" Fluttershy asked.
"Therapy" Pinkie replied as she walked to Discord.
"Right now?" Fluttershy asked.
"Right now" she whispered, pulling out an apple pie and smiled. He was in for a rude awakening.
I don't expect this story to be long, but I might come up with new ideas. Feel free to use this concept for your own story. :D
