//------------------------------// // Tues... I Mean Thursday Tea // Story: What Is This Strange Feeling? // by PonySage86 //------------------------------// Fluttershy yawns as she walks down the road to her cottage, she hadn't gotten much sleep the last couple days, dealing with that scary unicorn who stole ponies cutie marks hadn't left much time to rest. The sun has started to set over the horizon, because of how late it was when they got back to Ponyville her friends were all staying in Twilight's castle tonight, Fluttershy had turned down the offer, she had said it was because she wanted to check on her animals, while she really just missed her own bed. She rubs her eye and gives out another yawn as she walks up to her front door, after unlocking it she pushes the door open, she jumps back in surprise as a bright light shines through the door. "WELCOME HOME DARLING!" Discord shouts as he smiles happily at Fluttershy, he snaps his fingers and Fluttershy suddenly has a business hat on her head, a briefcase in her hoof, and a brown jacket draped over her shoulder. Fluttershy giggles as she looks at Discord, he's wearing a long dress with an apron around his waist, he looks like a house wife. "Hello Discord." Fluttershy smiles as she takes the hat off her head and puts it on a hat rack that just appeared out of no where. Discord zips across the room, and smiles brightly at Fluttershy as he takes her coat and briefcase. "Hello to you to honey, now you sit on down and tell me all about your trip." Discord puts the coat up on the hat rack, he then places the briefcase on the coffee table. He gently pushes Fluttershy on the back, guiding her to the couch. She sits down on the couch and smiles at the Draconequus who sits next to her. Discord snaps his fingers and some tea and cookies appear on the coffee table. "What's all this?" Fluttershy asks raising an eyebrow and a hoof at the food, Discord grins at her. "Well we didn't get to have our Tuesday morning tea so i figure a Thursday night tea would be good to." Discord says smiling happily, Fluttershy frowns at the memory of missing Tuesday tea, but the frown doesn't last long as she thinks about Thursday tea. "Of course Discord that sounds wonderful." Fluttershy says happily as she smiles up at Discord. "Excellent now tell me all about your trip." Discord says grinning big. Fluttershy smiles at Discord as she tells him everything her friends and her had been through the last couple days, Discord nods along as she talks occasionally making a comment that makes her giggle. At the end of Fluttershy's story Discord crosses his arms and lets a disgruntled huff. "I can't believe the nerve of that Starset Shimmer." "Starlight Glimmer." Fluttershy corrects. "Whatever." Discord waves a dismissive paw at the comment. "The fact she had the audacity to steal my best friends cutie mark." "She stole more ponies cutie marks then just mine." Discord gives another dismissive wave of his paw. "Yeah but i don't care about-" Discord had begun rolling his eyes but stopped as a voice interrupts him. "Discord!" Discord flinches at Fluttershy's raised voice, he gives the pegasus a sheepish grin, he rubs the back of his neck as he looks at her disapproving glare. Discord try's to think of a way out of trouble, suddenly his face lights up as he remembers something. "Oh yeah Fluttershy I've got some big news." Fluttershy drops her disapproving stare for a curious one. "What is it?" Fluttershy asks smiling up at him, Discord gives her a big grin. "I made a friend." Fluttershy gasps and her face lights up. "Oh my gosh you did?" Fluttershy squeals at Discord, he gives a smug nod, she suddenly jumps up and wraps her hooves around his neck in a strong hug. Discord's eyes widen in surprise but he smiles and returns the hug anyway. "Surprised?" Discord says his voice smug, he feels Fluttershy shake her head in his neck. "No I'm just glad it happened." Fluttershy pushes off of Discord and stares into his eyes, a big smile on her face. "Okay tell me about your new friend." "Okay so I met them on Tuesday, I went to Ponyville after I discovered you weren't home." Discord puts a talon to Fluttershy's lips to silence the, I'm sorry, he knew was coming, Fluttershy pouts at being preemptively silenced. " I was just walking along when I tripped over a little wagon and met a very interesting unicorn." "Oh your new friend is a unicorn?" Fluttershy asks muffled by his talon, he moves it away from her mouth. "What's their name?" "Moonlight was their name." Discord gives a toothy grin. " Quite fitting with glowing fur and hair that looks like a starry night sky. Anyhoo, we talked over cupcakes at sugar cube corner, then I had to go do some stuff with Celestia, so I met back up with Moonlight the next day, we also hung out today before you gals got back." "That sounds nice what did you guys do?" Fluttershy asks her eyes shining like stars, Discord looks away and rubs the back of his neck. "We may have pulled some prank's some ponies." Discord smiles sheepishly at Fluttershy, to his surprise she smiles back. "Oh you mean just like Pinkie and Rainbow Dash do?" Discord smiles at her. "Yes exactly like those two... you know except with magic." "You guys didn't do anything too mean did you?" Fluttershy asks looking a Discord with concern, Discord just rolls his eyes. "Of course not my dear." Discord averts his gaze. "Of course there was some temptation." "Discord." Fluttershy warns, Discord puts up his hands defensively. "I promise Fluttershy I didn't do anything too mean." Discord whispers under his breathe. "I think." "Okay that's good." Fluttershy let's out a sigh of relief. Discord suddenly brightens up. "Okay now let me tell you some of my favorites we did." Fluttershy rubs her eye and gestures with her hoof for Discord to continue, He smiles happily before he continues. "Okay, so one we did was make one apple in every tree at sweet apple acres taste like a peach, another good one was we made Octavia's violin make wub noises, and also made Vinyl's sound board play classical music, although they seemed to enjoy it, didn't even stop their concert, we reorganized Twilight library, by adding new books that I may or may not have made up. I slipped Berry Punch a pill that'll make her sick when she drinks alcohol. Oh I think my favorite was-" Discord looks down as he hears a yawn, he gazes at Fluttershy as she rubs her eyes with her hooves, he chuckles as she moves her hooves away from her eyes, and both her eyes are closed as she gives Discord a sleepy smile. "That sounds really nice Dis-" She lets out another yawn. "-cord." Discord smiles down at the sleepy little pegasus. He reaches out and pick's her up princess style, she lets out a small grunt of protest, but is too tired to push him away. "Don't worry Flutterbuddy I'm just taking you to bed." Discord says chuckling at her resistance, she makes another grunt that seems to mean she just remembered who picked her up, she rests her head against his warm fur, she sighs peacefully at the softness of his fur. Discord smiles happily as he walks Fluttershy across the room and up the stairs to her bedroom. He opens her bedroom door and carefully walks across the room he places her down on her bed, he gently covers her with her blanket. Fluttershy smiles and gives a gentle sigh. "Thank you Discord." Fluttershy says sleepily, Discord stares down at the peaceful looking pegasus, he watches the light from the moon shine of her silky hair. "No problem Fluttershy, we'll talk more tomorrow." Discord smiles down at her, Fluttershy yawns again. "I can't wait to hear more about this new friend of yours." Discord chuckles lightly. "Yeah Moonlights pretty cool." Discord laughs a little, before speaking in a joking tone. "For a mare." "Huh?" Fluttershy's smile suddenly disappears, she doesn't know why, but she quickly puts on another one as she can feel Discord leaning over her, she can't tell what he's doing but it seems like he's deciding weather or not to do something, a blush appears on her face as a thought crosses her mind, suddenly she feels a cold talon pat her forehead, her smile fades again, and once again shes not sure why. "Good night Fluttershy." Discord says standing back up, he takes a couple steps back from her bed. He speaks happily one more time before teleporting away. "I'll see ya tomorrow." "Good night Discord." Fluttershy says after a yawn. She opens one of her eyes a crack, after Discord's teleport flash has dissipated, she looks around the room checking to see if shes alone, she closes her eye again and places a hoof to her chest. She can feel a strange pain in her chest, it doesn't actually hurt, at least not physically, Fluttershy frowns as she thinks to herself, Discords new friend. The pain seems to increase. Is a mare? The pain only gets worse, she groans in frustration, she covers her head with her blanket. "What is going on?"
