My little Discord: Chapter Eleven
Let's get back to Fluttershy's reaction because I feel bad about the cliff hangers I keep giving you all. (:
Fluttershy sat there with no motion in her body. Her face was at first sad but turned emotionless. She couldn't do anything but stare at Discord. This was one of her worst nightmares. (There were just so many.)
"Umm…Fluttershy…are you ok? Fluttershy, you have been staring at me like this for five whole minutes now. Hello, anyone in there?" Discord asked ignorantly as he waved a hand in her face. Discord smirked. "Do I have to kiss you again?" Fluttershy straightened up and shook her head slowly but remained stunned. Discord leaned in to startle her and it worked. She jumped back a bit. Discord chuckled. "Thank you. That helped my bad mood. That was very entertaining."
"I am glad that that was entertaining but did you really just say you have to marry Twilight? Did I maybe hear you wrong?" Fluttershy asked, really hoping that that was the case.
"No, you heard me right…Celestia is making me marry Twilight," Discord said. Fluttershy calmed herself by taking a deep breath.
"Why…I mean…can you explain this to me?" Fluttershy asked. Discord sighed.
"Well, the Princess told me that she wants more of my species and I have to breed." Fluttershy blushed at that word. "Anyway, she wants me to get married to an Alicorn so it for sure will have my powers. She and Luna have too much on their royal plate to marry me and Cadence is married so Twilight was the obvious choice I guess. Trust me; I am not happy about this. I don't really like Twilight in that way… if you hadn't noticed that already." Fluttershy giggled at Discord's comment. She began to get serious again.
"Is there anything you can do?" Fluttershy asked.
"No, not even Twilight could think of anything. I am in a pickle aren't I?" Discord said as he conjured up a pickle in his paw and took a bite out of it. Fluttershy sighed.
"They aren't even giving you a choice about this?" Fluttershy asked. Discord looked at her again.
"Well…they're giving me time to think about it but no, not really. She said that this is a duty and a responsibility I have, now that I am reformed," Discord said. Fluttershy nodded with understanding.
"I understand but…it's not fair to make you marry some pony you don't love. Is there any way you could marry some pony that is a Unicorn or…a Pegasus? I am sure that your…umm…baby would have your genes no matter who you married. Maybe not an earth pony but a Pegasus or Unicorn might be ok. It would be powerful no matter what," Fluttershy noted. Discord rubbed his chin for a moment in thought. He nodded excitedly and then frowned again.
"That is true but no mare would want to marry me. Twilight is in the same position that I am in. She is basically being forced," Discord said sorrowfully. Fluttershy looked at him curiously.
"What do you mean no mare would want to marry you? There must be some pony who would love to marry you…some pony closer than you would think," Fluttershy blushed as she said this. It was Discord's turn to look at her curiously.
"Are you saying that you know some pony that loves me and would be happy to marry me?" Discord asked. Fluttershy nodded and looked up at him. Discord looked at her. "Well…who is it?" Discord asked. Fluttershy frowned.
She was really hoping he would get that it was her who would marry him. She thought maybe dropping more hints would work. "I can't tell you because you have to umm…guess! Yeah, you have to guess who it is," Fluttershy said. She really didn't want to confess. She was just too shy to tell him how she felt. Discord was starting to get annoyed.
"I have to guess who loves me, seriously? I would kind of like to know this. Care to explain to me why I have to play guessing games about my love life?" Discord asked. Fluttershy shook her head.
"Nope, I'm good," Fluttershy responded. Discord sighed.
"Alright, here it goes. Let's see…I know it must not be Twilight. This is hard. Every pony says they hate me or at least aren't the biggest fans of me. Can you give me some hints?" Discord asked.
"Sure I can. Let's see…she is kind of quiet."
"I guess it's not Pinkie Pie then."
"She likes fashion and animals. I think she's very brave but I don't know how many ponies would agree with that," Fluttershy hinted. She was trying really hard to give good hints. Discord was deep in thought when he snapped his fingers and a light bulb appeared above his head.
"I know who it is!" Discord exclaimed with a lot of excitement in his voice. Fluttershy blushed and nodded.
"Well…who is it then?" Fluttershy asked. Discord smacked himself in the forehead.
"I can't believe that I didn't see it before. I can't believe I couldn't see that Rarity likes me!" Discord said. Fluttershy scowled at Discord.
"Seriously? It is NOT Rarity! It's me! I love you!" Fluttershy covered her mouth with her hoof. She hadn't even thought about what she had just said until after she had said it. Discord looked at her with curiosity. Then he smiled.
"Fluttershy, you don't have to say that. I know you don't really love me. I know you like me as a friend. Now if you excuse me, I have to go tell Rarity that I will marry her. I would rather not but I guess she might be better than Twilight and if she loves me than that is better than marrying some pony who doesn't love me at all. Thanks Fluttershy." Before Fluttershy could tell him he was wrong, he was already out the door. Fluttershy was very confused and at there.
She had just confessed to him and he thought she was…joking?
"What just happened?" Fluttershy asked herself. She then snapped out of it because if she didn't go get Discord then he would go tell Rarity that they were to be married. That would not end well…especially if he told her that she had told him that. She started running.
"Discord!" Fluttershy screamed.
Hope you're enjoying this craziness. I hope you didn't think this was the final chapter. What fun is there in making sense? (Discord quote. LOL.) Also, I wanted to inform you that when this is over, (whenever that may be? I don't think of these things. I just sort of write and see where that goes.) there will be a sort of sequel to it. It will be a little about this but different. It is mostly about Fluttershy. Remember to Review! (: (:
