"Clean up the vines Discord!" He mocked. "Sure, I'll clean up the vines. I'll put them in your house."
Discord walked down the road in Ponyville. The vines were still everywhere. Crawling into windows, through doorways, and just tangling over everything.
"Hey you! Shoo! Go to the Everfree Forest." Discord put his hands on his hips. The vines seemed to look at him. They creeped back from their spots and over to him. Discord eyed them warily. It had been a long time since he had first planted them.
One vine in particular stretched out to him. He crossed his arms and glared at it. The greenery drooped a little before wrapping around him. Discord when stiff. Then it...nuzzled him? Metaphoric hearts came off the vine as it hugged him. Discord sighed heavily at it.
"Now, now. You have to go. No amount of sucking up to me will get you to stay."
It recoiled and slinked away, the hearts breaking. Discord frowned at the display. "I don't mean to hurt you. It's just that you are making a mess."
It turned back to look at him. Question marks popped up.
"This is were ponies live. You have to go live in the Everfree Forest. That way." He pointed.
It looked at the darkened forest. The vine gave off exclamation points and crawled back to the center of town. Most of the other vines did as well. Soon, they recoiled enough until they were five stout vine plants. The five all wrapped around each other in hugs.
Discord put his hand over his heart and got teary eyed. He walked over to pet them. "Don't be afraid! It's not that scary." He looked at the forest, it looked even darker with glowing eyes and shaking bushes. "Okay, maybe it's a little scary but you're big strong vines."
Metaphoric tears ran down their fronts.
"Don't cry! Here, have some tea. How about we talk about this?"
The vines looked at the cups. They picked them up and dumped the tea on the ground in small 'sips'. He smiled at them.
"You can't stay here in Ponyville and it's only fitting that you go to the forest to be with all the other weird plant creatures."
They rived around in fear with shrieks only Discord can hear.
"It's going to be fine! I promise. I'll even go with you to find you a new home." Discord got up and walked to the forest. They looked at each other then crawled after him.
The forest was shaded heavily even at full noon with strange noises coming from nowhere and shaking from plants. Discord tried to looked happy for them but it was hard. The forest looked so creepy.
"See, not so bad," He smiled gleefully at them. "This looks like a good spot."
The clearing did look nice. The vines stretched out to feel around when a huge rat creature jumped out of a bush and attacked one vine. The vine screamed in terror and pain. Discord lunged at the thing and tore it off the vine. He then threw it over the trees. The other vines quickly wrapped around him in fear.
"Okay! Okay! I get it. It's too creepy in here." Discord looked up at the sky in thought. "I guess I can sneak you to the Canterlot Gardens."
The vines constricted him in sheer joy and repeatedly slam him on the ground.
"I love you too. Now, let's go." He heaved out of his poor abused lungs.
Sneaking into the gardens wasn't that hard, though finding a spot for them was more so. They didn't like too much sun, or shade or water and didn't want to be among too many other plants.
"Just find a spot already before we get caught!" Discord whispered. He was peeking his head out from behind a garden wall.
They shrunk back before crawling out to a new plot of land. The vines twisted around but ended up shrieking about how they didn't like it. Discord grumbled. After looking for any guards, he escorted them out to a new section of land. They complained about too much grass.
"Oh come on! You were all over Ponyville. Why can't you just settle down now?"
One vine whipped around adamantly.
"I get it. You didn't like it there either and really, you were looking for a spot." Discord rubbed his forehead. Children. So indecisive.
A couple of guards walked pass the section they were in. Discord scoped up the moving vines and turned invisible. He then carried them to a picnic area. They crawled around like worms across the weathered grounds. One vine laid the top part of itself on the table as if face planting.
Discord stared at them with a hint of sadness. They grow up so fast.
"Let's go somewhere else huh? How about where I used be?"
That seemed to peak their interest. They all snuck around avoiding the guards until they were where Discord used to stand. The empty pedestal looked so ordinary without Discord standing on top. Before, he mused, it was a thing of wonder. How sad it looks now.
The vines crawled over and wiggled around the base. They planted themselves into the dirt. Greenery now clung to the white stone bringing it that lost sense of wonder. The vines looked so happy there. Discord gave them one last pat and ran off back to Ponyville.
Later on, Celestia would be called out to the gardens about 'renegade plants' whipping passing ponies on the behind and stealing items like hats and bags. She could just hear the chuckling in the background when she found out where it was happening.
