My diary I wrote in Ponyville: When I came to Ponyville

Day 4: An unusual friend

This was probably one of the strangest days I've ever had. I had made friends like never before. They were the closest friends I've ever made. For this day, it was just like the first time I've arrived at the Ponyville. I made a friend. However, it was unlike the other friends I've ever made. Twilight and the other ponies are usual friends I've made. Spike, though he is a dragon, not only is Twilight's pet as someone to accompany her, is also a good friend and just like most ponies around here. This however, is one friend who is not only different from others but also very unusual.
I decided to go to Fluttershy's cottage to see if there is anything I could learn more about animals from Fluttershy and also maybe learn more about animal languages because I did not even know that I could speak to them.

"Hey Fluttershy" I said. "Do you want me to help you with anything?"

Fluttershy looked like she was kind of in joy or something as she said "Oh, yes I do!"

"What do you want me to help with you?" I asked.

"I want you to meet one of my friends" she said.

She showed me who it was. When she showed me, I was shocked.

"Hello Hoobe! I'm Discord" one of Fluttershy's friends said.

I was surprised that Discord knew me. I was also surprised that Discord was unlike anyone I've ever met.

"How do you know me and know that I was gonna come here to this cottage?"

Discord told me that he knew that I was gonna and heard all about me. He also told me that he heard about the story of me.

Fluttershy then said "I was going to get some quality time with Discord. But I was being called for help. So I was about to look around for someone to take time with Discord, just right before you came. However it is not my friend animals who I am relying on even Angel, but rather someone else like you."

She then told me all about Discord, as Discord also talks about himself. I was not so sure about Discord at first. He does sound friendly but I did not know if Discord is one of the friends that I can be friends with.

"I have to leave" Fluttershy said. "Have fun with Discord!"

"Bye!" I said as Fluttershy left.

I asked Discord. "So what do you usually do with Fluttershy?"

Discord told me all about it. He also told me the time when he spent his times with some of my other friends, and that is not just Fluttershy herself but also with Rainbow Dash and Applejack and Rarity and Pinkie Pie and even later Twilight and Spike. He then asked me if there is anything that I want to do with Discord. I was not so sure if I was even up to this task because I never met Discord before and I was not so sure if I could trust Discord, even when I don't mind becoming friend with him.

"We could spend some quality tea time together" I said "When you spend time with Fluttershy, but I was probably wondering if we could do something else. Maybe the time when you were talking to my or our friends about jokes or something?"

So Discord told me the jokes that he can think of. When he told me some jokes, I laughed. He told me that if I did not mind so I did not refused his offer. While on the way, Discord told me all the adventures he had while at Ponyville and how he became friendly. I asked if we can have a walk around Ponyville, or just in someplace not too far like in Everfree forest.

"I'd love to" he said. "But isn't that dangerous to go there, especially for you?"

"I know" I said "Forest is dangerous, but I just wanted to do something together and not be bored or something. We won't be too far into the forest, just around a few minutes or an hour"

"Alright then," he said "We will go, but we won't be taking a long time in there. As I was saying, it is dangerous or can be dangerous."

So we went off into the Everfree forest. At first the forest does not look anything like frighting to me. Even though it was not the first time I've been to the forest, the first time was when I went there with Zekora, I began to feel a little scared.

"Should we return to Ponyville?" he asked "You seemed to look frighting there"

He noticed me right away that I was being frightened. However, because it was only for a few minutes, I said.

"No, let's just move on"

After about an hour passed, I said to Discord.

"I think we should be heading back to Ponyville Discord. Though it is still afternoon and not dark, it already has been about an hour and I am getting tired"

"I think it is time" he said "Let us return"

We started going back to Ponyville. However, while we were walking back, I have a feeling that I heard someone coming towards me and Discord. I thought it was just my mind playing tricks on me at first so I paid no attention.

"I believe you should look, Hoobe" he said.

"Come on right now, it was just a plain mind trick" I said. "I know that it is dangerous in the forest, but at times there can be tricks, now come on Discord."

"No, it is not a trick." he said

"If you are saying that it is not even a trick, what is it over there?" I asked

When I looked at the direction that Discord pointed, I noticed that it was a group of Timberwolves.

"Let's get out of here and head straight to Ponyville!" he said.

"We can beat them" I said.

"Are you sure?" he asked "You may have magic, but Timberwolves are not just dangerous but are stronger than most ponies."

"Just let me give a try here" I said. "I did not actually defeated them at that time, but I did scared them away when one of my friends were in trouble."

So I tried the same thing when I first saw the Timberwolves. Even when this was not the first time I saw them, it was rather harder than it looked. They did not run off like the last time. When I knew that it did not work, I was even more terrified.

Discord said to me "Come on, let's get out of here"

"OK, let us go" I said.

Quickly, Discord and I started to get out of the Everfree Forest. When we almost reached our destination, one of the Timberwolves stepped up and blocked our way. I hesitated and did not know what to do right now. Fortunately, Discord came up with the plan, and sooner or later, we escaped from the Timberwolves. I was puffed up and so did Discord from all the running.

"Thank you so much Discord" I said, by the time we arrived at Fluttershy's cottage. "I am sorry if I caused all the trouble there. We should have came back sooner or just don't go to the forest at all"

"It's alright" said Discord "I am just glad that you learned your lessons"

"I did" I said "but was that not just any adventure we just had? I mean it was pretty wild back there"

"I believe we did" he said. "and I am glad that we had a great time together"

Fluttershy came back from her trip. Discord and I told her the whole story about our adventures, before Fluttershy told hers. Soon, I left her cottage saying goodbye. I cannot believe that I just had a very different adventure and also made a new friend who is Discord, despite the fact that he is different. As I laid on my bed from the very tiring day, I am glad that it is over.
