My eyelids slowly rose up over my eyes. I looked over toward the window. Sunlight streamed through and onto my floor. My eyes followed the sunlight all around my room revealing the havoc of my previously wasted night. My head hurt due to a hangover as I tried to recall the events of yesterday. I grimaced remembering Fluttershy, but everything else just didn't seem to exist in my memory bank. I was snuggled into bed and didn't want to get out. I turned myself and saw a lump under the blanket. Seriously, I got laid on a night of grieving? I saw lump rise and fall in a breathing motion indicating life. Eventually curiosity got the best of me and I lifted up the blanket.

I couldn't help but scream. That "lump" was Discord. He jumped up with confusion then turned to face me in the bed. He was also shocked and screamed. I jumped out of the bed.

"How…how did this even happen?,,," I asked horrified. He jumped out as well.

"I…um… visited you about Fluttershy… and we cried and now… here we are…" Discord replied awkwardly looking downward in shame. We were both blushing furiously. There was something different about Discord though. Usually he was confident and had a look like he was a mile ahead of everyone. Now, he looked shaken, nervous, embarrassed, and scared.

"If anypony finds out… I won't even need to use the elements to kill you." I threatened. An uneasy half smile formed on his face but it disappeared.

"The bathroom is down the hall and the third door to your left. Go to the kitchen for breakfast when you are done." I said trying to be hospitable. He left my room quietly stepping over glass shards and trash.

My room was a master bedroom and was attached to my own personal bathroom. I walked in closing the door behind me. I locked it remembering that I had a "guest" in my home contrary to being alone most of the time. I looked into the mirror and saw a pony whom I didn't really know any more. I opened the cabinet and grabbed my toothbrush and toothpaste. I proceeded to brush my teeth letting the minty feeling take away some of that sick feeling in my mouth making me feel fresher. I pulled the soap out of the cabinet and ran it under the tap creating frothy bubbles around the bar. I rubbed on my face and I scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed removing the last layer of dirt on my face. I looked down at the rest of my body and groaned. More layers of dirt and blood covered my fur. I looked back at the mirror, admiring the smooth cheeks adorning my face. I walked over to the shower stall in my bathroom and switched on the water and waited and few seconds allowing it to heat up. I stepped into the hot water in the shower and pulled the curtain behind me.

White steam filled the bathroom and a warm feeling encompassed me. I scrubbed the dirt and blood (from Fluttershy and my wing) off my fur. The hot water burned my skin, but I didn't want get out. After shampooing my hair, I switched off the tap. The waterfall of warmth instantly stopped and I stepped out of the shower stall. I grab a towel and rub my body down, removing most of the water. Then onto my hair. I got as much water as I could out of my mane but still much remaned (see what I did there!). I was too lazy to bring out my hair dryer so I just wrapped the towel around my head.

I opened the cabinet back up to put my toothbrush, toothpaste, and soap back in. While putting the soap on top of the special tray I kept it on, my eyes glazed over a box. I closed the cabinet door, then I opened it to look at the box again. It was a pregnancy test box (for emergency drunk nights like last night). I began to close the cabinet door again, but something stopped me. I felt like I should take it.

"Na, Discord and I just were on the same bed… we didn't do anything…plus he isn't even a pony…" I felt uneasy.

"Okay, fine you win!" I said grabbing the box.

I followed the steps (I am not going into detail) and looked the little device. I stared at the part that would indicate pregnancy. I felt so nervou- I slapped myself.

"You are Rainbow Dash, the best flyer in Equestria! Get a hold of yourself!" I said confidently and proudly. "So why do I feel so nervous…" my voice faltered. I looked back at it. THERE WAS A FUCKING BLUE PLUS SIGN!

"FUCK!" I screamed getting up, my head conveniently hitting the metal towel holder creating a bruise on my forehead. I sat back down on the toilet cover and held my head with my hooves.

"Will it be a pony, or a… draqouniquis? OMG! Will I have to get married to Discord? Well he is kinda handsome… except he is like a gazillion years older than me. Ugh. My entire life is ruined. Who am I going to tell? Something serious like this I would tell Fluttershy. Pinkie is a party animal and can't take anything serious. Rarity is the queen of gossip. Twilight is drunk very often. Apple Jack… Yeah I'll tell her."

I shoved the pregnancy test in the cabinet and redid my head towel thing. I walked out of the bathroom and into my room…the entire room was clean. All the trash was gone. There wasn't a shard of glass and the large crack that was in my window no longer existed!

I walked outside my room and saw every bit of my house pristine. I walked down the hall and stepped into the bathroom Discord used. It smelled like lavender and was even cleaner than I had had it before though it was the guest bathroom. There were rose-petals around the sink and on the toile seat. I was shocked it was incredibly clean and everything looked so perfect.

I walked out and found the same results all around my house. Then I found a clock. I had taken two whole hours in the bathroom and walking around! I ran downstairs and was met with the most amazing smell. It was of pancakes, and syrup, and fruit!

I ran into my kitchen to see Discord cooking. There was fine lace tablecloth covering the table. On the table there was an ornate platter piled precariously high with pancakes. Next to it the was a silver container of zap-apple syrup. Next to that there was a crystal jar of zap-apple jam. Next to that there was a silver bowl with every fruit one could imagine. Behind the table was Discord. His back was facing me and he was softly humming a sad tune while cooking more pancakes at a stove that hasn't worked in years.

My jaw dropped down, but I remained silent. Still in the kitchen I opened a closet door where I kept coats, boots, scarves and other things. I pulled out a roll of black ribbon. A tear rolled down my cheek. I cut four pieces and tied them around my legs. Then I cut two more and held them in my hooves. Discord still hadn't noticed me so I continued silently closing the door and walking toward the table.

Nothing had changed and he was still humming. I stood there watching him for a couple of minutes waiting for when he would notice. Finally he stopped humming and said "Dash, I know that you are there. I noticed as soon you came down."

"Why didn't you say anything then." I said walking toward him not really surprised. He was the god of chaos.

"I thought you were watching me."

"No, I wasn't! I was waiting to see when you would notice I was here." I replied blushing slightly. "Discord put these on your arms." I said handing him the two black ribbons.

"Thanks" Discord tied the ribbons around his arms and stopped cooking. He looked over at the pancake platter. "I think that is enough pancakes." He snapped his fingers and all of the mess on the stove disappeared. He pulled out a chair at the table "Please sit Rainbow Dash." I sat down and he pushed me in. Then he sat in the other chair on the other side of the table.

"I really don't know a way to thank you. You cleaned my entire house and make this lovely breakfast and you act all gentlemanly." I said in a little bit in in awe. "Why are you even doing all this? All the guys I've ever have a one night stand with, peed all over the bathroom floor left with doing anything except breaking something. They always break something. You are really different."

"I'm doing this because I feel indebted to you. I mean your look of shock and horrification on your face this morning-I just feel really bad because you don't even remember what happened." He said looking down. "Did I go too far with the rose petals?" He said looking up.

"A little" I said.

"Rainbow Dash-"

"Just call me Dash. Full names are really annoying." I said. He looked taken aback. He shook his head gently and said,

"Dash, I know you don't want to talk about this, but tell me what exactly happened to her. I need to know if she suffered. I'm sorry if it makes you feel bad. You don't have to tell me." He looked guilty as if he was torturing me.

"Discord, it's fine you should know. You two were friends." A tear rolled down my face but I ignored it and continued. "After the cow stampede a week ago, all of her animals were spooked. Fluttershy worked really hard to make them all feel safe. All of them stayed in her cottage. She had so many animals in there to care for, it made it difficult for her to sleep and do other chores. The animals didn't allow her to leave because they felt scared without her. For six days she stayed there. Apple Jack and I got her supplies and things that Fluttershy didn't already have in her cottage. After all of her animals were okay with out her and went back to their homes, we planned a surprise sleep over party for her at Twilights library. Twilight, Rarity, Apple Jack, and Pinkie were there and I was supposed to bring her. I went to her cottage and told her I had a surprise for her. She was excited and asked many questions. I wrapped a piece of cloth over her head so she wouldn't see where I was taking her. First mistake. Then I led her to Twilight's house. Second mistake. I should have picked her up and flew there. Any ways, we were crossing the road and suddenly a stallion runs straight into us. I hit the ground and broke my wing. Fluttershy was not as lucky. She flew into a wooden box and broke it. Splintery chunks of wood pierced her fragile flesh. I pulled of the eye cover and she asked what happened. I told her. I could see she was in pain, but I knew that if I pulled out the wood she would loose more blood than what was already pouring out. Twilight heard her scream and she came out. The rest of the story was really blurry but we took her to the hospital and they gave us the bad news. I didn't tell anyone of my broken wing and I went home and drank and you know the rest." I said tears pouring out of my face. Discord looked concerned and made a tissue magically appear and wipe my face with.

Discord eyes were filling up too. We ate the rest of the breakfast in silence. Nopony said anything.

I decided to break the silence by saying "You are the first guy I've had a one-night-stand with for 3 months." Discord looked up at me.

"I've never had a relationship with a mare since three thousand years." He said looking back at his food. I raised my eyebrows questioningly. "Dash, you would never let it go if I told you who it was."

"No, but maybe we should talk about us." I looked down blushing but remembering the events of the morning. Discord stopped eating.

"Dash, are you okay? I don't think that you would normally say that."

"I never actually ever had a steady relationship and well neither have you, well for a three thousand years."

"What would your friends say?"

"We would keep it secret."

"And if somepony found out?"

"You are the lord of chaos and I am bucking Rainbow Dash. I don't think they would want to mess with us." Discord laughed but replied with.

"Dash, it looks like you are fine, but something has changed you. Are you sure you are okay?"

I thought back to this morning. I shuddered and replied with "Discord, I am totally fine, other than my best friend's death, I am mentally okay, I think. Any ways, I have to meet with Twilight and talk to her about a funeral date and I have to pop by Apple Jack's to ask her something. You are welcome to come."

Discord hesitated but said "I would love to…. Sweetie,"
