> She Said Yes > by Redrose99875 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I love you" the girls heard Fluttershy say outside the door, all of them gasped, Pinkie was the one who was peeking through the keyhole of the door, she saw Discord surprised face, then, she saw it happen Pinkie gasped dramatically "HE'S KISSING HER, HE'S KISSING HER" "EWWW" spat Rainbow in disgust "Oh please dash, I think it's lovely, I mean, I know their not the most NORMAL couple, but they are still absolutely ADORABLE," said Rarity "And besides, if they both love each other, we'll have to get used to it," said Twilight "Whatever" groaned Rainbow Dash "Am ah th' only one who thinks this is a bit,.weird?" asked Applejack "ah mean,...they're both our friends but, still...." "I don't think you are,..but if she's happy,....then we're happy,.......right?" asked Twilight "Yeah," the other said in unison, after a few minutes, the others walked in "Lemme guess,......you guys are a thing now?" asked Rainbow folding her hooves "Yep," said Discord proudly pulling Fluttershy closer to his side, he didn't have a care in the world how they knew, "After all those picnics, I fell in love," said Fluttershy "There was also that date" Discord hinted "Oh right,...I'm sorry, I forgot,....just for a little while, though," Fluttershy said smiling "I forgot about ALL of those things, also I have a question," said Pinkie Fluttershy sighed,"Your name is Pinkie Pie," said the yellow Pegasus "Thank you kindly" Pinkie replied suddenly the doors opened to reveal the two Alicorn sisters, they were both smiling at Discord "Well,....it's about time you told her Discord" Said Celestia Fluttershy looked up at Discord, he was gaping at the princesses "I-wha-uh-YOU KNEW?!" They both nodded Discord put his hands on his hips"How and when did this happen? Luna stopped smiling and turned a bit red "Yes, well,..." she cleared her throat " When Eris stole your powers, leaving you unconscious, I've been able check on your dreams l and,.....Your dreams were about you and Fluttershy, and they were rather,...........interesting" Discord would have died of embarrassment if he wasn't immortal, he blushed so hard, it looked like his head was ready to explode, he thought he was going to get disapproving looks,...but the main six just looked at him confused, Discord was glad, this due to the fact that if Rainbow knew what Luna was talking about, she would have killed him, Celestia eventually cleared her throat and said "Yes well,....Discord, would you mind fixing the castle, it's rather shattered after your fight with Eris" Discord nodded, still blushing very hard, he snapped his fingers and the castle was back to normal, in it's extremely regal and elegant state "Thank you,...now Luna and I have to get back to our royal duties, you may all now go back to your normal lives" said Celestia the girls were already walking out the door, Fluttershy told discord he could teleport her home once she was outside after he had insisted to do so many times, she opened the door to follow her friends out the door, when a voice said "Fluttershy?" She turned around "Yes Princess Luna?" "Never let Discord get a hold of your diary" "Why?" "Oh,...no reason" > Chapter One: A Decision > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two years had passed since Eris attacked Equestria, since then a lot of things had changed, Twilight and Flash were FINALLY a thing, Rainbow was hanging out with Soarin, Spike had started going out on small dates with Rarity, after being dragged by Twilight of course, and Rarity had surprisingly had lots of fun, Applejack had been going to a bunch of rodeos with Carmel, Pinkie pie had been throwing the HUGEST of parties with Cheese Sandwich, and of course, Fluttershy and Discord had never had a single fight in their relationship, things were perfect ------------------------------------------------- Discord yawned as he rubbed his eyes, then he looked down lovingly at his perfect marefriend, Fluttershy, he was the luckiest creature in all of Equestria, he fell in love with the kindest, gentle, and beautiful mare in all of Equestria and beyond, not only that, but after years and years of rejecting stallions, she had returned his love, not because she thought he was handsome of anything like that, but because of how kind and gentle he was towards her, she felt like she finally found the stallion of her dreams, except it wasn't a stallion, he was a draconequus.He could not help but think that Fluttershy was adorable when she was sleeping,...no matter what,...his love for her only grew stronger each day She slowly opened her eyes as she awoke, the first thing she saw was Discord's face, which was smiling "Good morning dearest," he said "Good morning Dissy, " she said smiling back "Wait,....what time is it?" she asked after a little while "About,......Eight o'clock in the morning" "Oh dear,...I should have fed the animals an hour ago" she started to stand when Discord pulled her back down "Please dear, allow me" he snapped his fingers Fluttershy gave him a slight frown "Discord, You know I prefer to feed the animals myself,..." "I know, but I don't want you to leave," he said whining like a puppy at this Fluttershy smiled "Okay,....so what do you want to talk about?" he pulled her closer, his tail was wrapped around her waist, he had a smirk on his face "Oh, I don't want to talk" he purred seductively "Well then-" she was interrupted by Discord kissing her passionately, which she soon relaxed into when she pulled away, Discord asked a question that frightened her "Am I dead?" "NO,...WHY?" "Because I feel like I'm in heaven" Fluttershy then smiled and nuzzled his chest. Discord had a sudden thought, it felt like,.....he couldn't live without her, what if just something from the shadows just took her away from him? he felt slightly angry now, if anyone thought, that they could take his Fluttershy away from him they'ed have another thing coming to- "Discord? are you okay?" asked Fluttershy, she had look of worry on her face "Oh yes, I'm fine," he said "D-Did I do something wrong?" she asked Dearest, I'm fine, in fact if, I find it "Illogical" for you to do anything wrong, so don't worry about your pretty little head, he booped her on the nose "That's my job" she giggled and rested her head against his chest and soon he realized something,....he wanted to spend his endless life with her, no matter what changes were made in their lives, he wanted to go through that with her,........................he soon knew what he wanted to do. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "YOU WANT TO WHAT?!!!!!" exploded Rainbow with extreme anger "Rainbow, he specifically said that he wants to purpose to Fluttershy," said Twilight, and she was smiling Rarity squealed in adoration "OH DISCORD, how lovely," "Dude, you're immortal, how will you feel when Fluttershy dies?" asked rainbow folding her hooves Discord frowned, he hadn't thought of that, tears began to develop in his eyes until he was interrupted "Actually, I doubt that's possible," said Twilight logically "What?" all the others asked, including Discord "Fluttershy's the element of kindness if she dies, so does her element, so the elements make us immortal to prevent that from happening, so technically, it's fine if you marry her"Twilight explained Discord smirked at Rainbow, who groaned "STILL, how do you know she's even ready for a step this big?" "PLEASE DASH, they have been dating for two years, I'm sure she's ready by now," said Rarity putting her forearm around discord to show she was supportive Rainbow sighed "I'm sorry, it's just,....you'll treat her right, won't you? You won't take advantage of her, right?" Discord glared at her "If your insisting that I'm trying to " he did a finger quote " 'lead her on', you've got the sickest mind I've ever seen" Rainbow was about to make a nasty remark when Twilight placed both her hooves between them "Let's not get too hasty" Twilight gestured to Applejack to tell her to change the subject "Ah'm all for it, but ah agree with Rainbow, ah know they've been datin' for two years, but yall know how shy she is, what if she's not ready?" "Calm down Aj, I'm not going to purpose to her today" "Right, sorry" "Although maybe that wouldn't be a bad idea," he said tapping his fingertips together menacingly, he had a smirk on his face "DISCORD" the girls shouted angrily Discord folded his arms "Fine, then when do you ladies suggest I do?" "Come to my boutique, I have a few ideas," said Rarity said smiling Everypony turned to Rainbow Dash who sighed. "Fine,....but if Flutters gets married, I'M the maid of honor" "I CALL MAKING THE WEDDING CAKE" "Ah'll help with the snacks" said Applejack "But I'll let Pinkie do th' entire weddin' cake" "YAY, thanks AJ" Rarity walked up to Discord "I'd love to make the dresses, oh and I'll make you a tux, and of course one for little Spikie-Whikey" "Twilight,...will you be the priest?" Discord asked looking at her, Twilight's eyes lit up "ME?I-I'd be honored" "Pinkie, come with meh, we need ta find th' perfect spot for th' weddin' first," said Applejack "I'll get the decorations 'kay? Rarity, meet me at the decoration store, Come on Discord" said Rainbow zooming off, "Hang on rainbow, I'll be there soon," said Discord, he turned to Twilight, he looked serious, "Twilight, can I ask you something?" Twilight groaned "Is it about a glass of water?" his face didn't change "Twilight, I'm serious" "Okay" he walked over to her, kneeled down, put his paw and claw on her shoulders and looked her square in the eyes "Twilight,.....May I please have your blessing?" Twilight looked shocked "W-What?" "Twilight, your a princess, I need your blessing, your the one who's got the authority, I need your blessing to do all this,.....please Twilight" he turned a dark crimson "I love her" Twilight put a hoof over her heart, her smile was full of warmth and tenderness at these words that were ever so endearing.Her face made that squeeeee noise. "Of course, you can have my blessing" "Pinkie promise?" Twilight crossed her heart, hovered a bit, and put her hoof in front of her eye while saying "Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye" Discord quickly smiled, he stood up while quickly picking her up, hugging her tightly while saying,almost sounding like pinkie pie: "ThankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouTwilightyouwillnotregretthisIswearisthereanythingIcandotorepayyou?" "Well for starters, please put me down" choked Twilight Discord complied "Thank you, and I suppose there's one thing I could need you for" "Which is?" Twilight smirked. --------------------------------------------------------- "This is humiliating, but worth it," thought Discord as he was covered in wires, he was being tested by Twilight she read the data "Interesting," she said "Can I go now?" "Yes, thank you" "No Twilight, thank you," he said, he snapped his fingers and disappeared. > Chapter Two:Planning it all > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Uh pinkie, ah don't know if this is a good place for a weddin, "said Applejack looking around, they were in a field of dandelions "OF COURSE it is, it's full of flowers, she would love it" "Actually pinks, dandelions are weeds, plus, we're in the Everfree forest" "WHAT?oh well I guess this isn't the best place then," said Pinkie slightly frowning but her smile quickly returned But we can always keep looking, ONWARD" she said hopping to the left of the field "Pinkie NO, right there's a patch of poison-" but it was too late, pinkie had already stepped in the patch, her tongue stuck out, and it was covered in blue dots, and she couldn't talk "Joke" sighed AJ "Pfffffft pbbbbbbt" was all Pinkie could manage to get out "Okay, we're gonna need ta stop at Zecora's hut first" Pinkie nodded as she followed Applejack deep into the forest. Suddenly, there was a squeak, Applejack looked behind her, there was nothing, but she could have sworn she heard something "Pfffffffft Pbbbbbbbbt ppffft pb pfft," said Pinkie pie turning her around gesturing towards the forest, Applejack nodded and followed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Dear, Pleash try to hold shtill," said Rarity using her mouth to pull on the strings of the corset "Rarity" gasped Fluttershy "I don't know why you have to- do this- I mean I like the dresses you make but-this is a bit extreme" "Well dear, thish ish for an EXTREMELY shpecial ocashion," said Rarity, finally she finished Fluttershy sighed, not only was the nightmare over, but the corset now fit perfectly "Good, now I can start on the very special dress, thank you Fluttershy" "No problem Rarity, but what makes this dress so special?" "Um,.....it's very,.....d-divine, yes that's it, you may go now I need to get to work," said Rarity nervously Fluttershy nodded as she walked out the door "Hey Rarity, watch'a doin'?' asked Sweetie belle coming down the stairs. "I'm making a dress for possibly,...possibly,......possibly a wedding" "REALLY?" exclaimed Sweetie Belle "Who's the lucky bride?" "Fluttershy" Sweetie rolled her eyes "It's about time, who is it?" Rarity paused for a minute before saying "Discord" ---------------------------------------------------------- Rainbow waited outside the decoration store, waiting for Rarity and Discord, Discord was the first one to show up "Dude, what took you so long?" "Let's just say I had to do a favor for Twilight" "Whatever, I just wonder what's taking Rarity so long" eventually, Rarity showed up, when she saw Discord, she slightly jumped but regained her composure "Hey Rarity, what took you so long?" "hmm?oh yes, sorry I was just,...doing work" "Okay, well,...we need to pick out the decorations for the wedding "Yes, Right," she said walking in after them She walked over to the heart section "I think we should use these because they represent love,...sweet,...tender..-" "What's sweet and tender?" asked Rainbow "Ah um,...nothing" she laughed nervously "Well, how about these pink butterflies?" asked Discord showing rose quartz colored butterflies "I think their awesome, " said Rainbow, they both turned to Rarity, who at first looked confused, then she said "Oh, yes, their nice" "You don't think their Fabulous?" asked Discord mocking Rarity who started sweating "Oh yes,...I-I do come let's get more decorations" Discord looked slightly suspicious but followed anyway ------------------------------------------------------------------- There he sat upon his throne, there was a male unicorn, he had a gray coat, a fierce mane, and tail, black as shadows.He had a red king robe, he had silver armor and a red and pointy unicorn horn, but the thing about him, that was most disturbing, was his eyes.They were green, with red irises, and there were purple flames emitting from them, they looked like Satan's. His name was Sombra,....King Sombra. he was looking into a crystal ball, looking at mares suddenly a changeling guard came up to him "What are you doing Sire?" "I've been thinking, I tried to once take over the crystal empire, but was stopped, I didn't understand, after all, I have all the power I could ever need, I have faithful servants, what does the Crystal Empire have that I don't? Then it hit me, a QUEEN, so I decided to look for a wife superior to all, she shall have Exquisite beauty, and extreme power, I have been searching for the perfect one through this crystal ball, but I have not found such a mare" he said frowning "Have you tried one of the Elements of Harmony?" Sombra suddenly used his magic to look at these six girls, first, he looked at Twilight "It can't be her, she would be too busy looking through books to try to stop me" he then looked at applejack "Too stubborn" he looked at Rarity "Too posh" he looked at Rainbow "Ugh,....I wouldn't choose her if she was the last mare on earth" he looked at pinkie "She's too happy,....and annoying" he then looked at Fluttershy, he grinned wickedly "Ah yes,.....such a pretty little thing, and she is indeed powerful,.... the Element of Kindness? it would be too easy" "Yes, she does seem to be the fairest of them all sire, but what is her name?" he purred while looking at this mare "Fluttershy" > Chapter Three: A Day In The Snow > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fluttershy decided to have a day in the snow with her friends and Discord, it was January so they still had plenty of snow. "Is everypony ready to go?" asked Fluttershy? she had her hair up in a ponytail, was wearing a sky blue scarf, there was fuzzy blue lining around the waistline, unlike the sky blue ribbon the end of a short white skirt, she had a pair of earmuffs, with sky blue ends, and she had white boots with fuzzy sky blue lining at the top, she looked really pretty the others just wore regular snow weather clothing, except for Rarity, she wore a velvet purple jacket with blue diamonds, with matching boots. "Yes" they all responded "Good" Discord came into the room, he was wearing a black and white striped scarf, but that was it "All packed up are we?" "Yes," said Fluttershy with a smile "Okay here we go," said Discord as he snapped his fingers, they appeared in a frozen tundra, the snow was white as porcelain "WOW WHEE IT"S AFREEZING," said Pinkie shivering slightly "If anypony needs me, I'll be in the tent" said Fluttershy as she flew into the tent "Same with me" said Rarity,soon Rarity came out of the tent, she started setting up her own mini home, when she finished, she took her bags, walk inside, and closed the door. "Ah'm gunna build uh fire," said Aj walking into the nearby woods "I guess we could build snowponies," said Discord "Yeah, do you want to build a snow-" "Rainbow I will pressly bury you in this snow if you sing that song" "Fine" a few minutes later, Discord decided to make a snow angel, but all he managed to make was a circle "You know what? this stinks" said Discord, he then fell in the snow, all that was showing was his head "What The?" gasped Discord ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Hey look at my snowball, it's getting really big," said Twilight proudly, it was the size of a wheel on a carriage, "Oh yeah? beat this Twi" laughed Rainbow when she showed her the snowball she made, which was the size of a pony. "How do they do it?" Twilight sighed "You know what Twilight? at least your not a head" "Oh my gosh let's bury him" exclaimed Pinkie "Nooooo, please, I'm begging you," said discord worryingly "Yeah, let's do it" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- a few minutes later Discord's head was covered in snow except for his antlers, and unfortunately for him, he couldn't move. "Wait, I was just kidding," said Pinkie "Yeah right" Rainbow laughed "There you go," she said once she finished "hmmmm mmmmphmmm phmmmmm" said Discord underneath the snow "Stop it he's gonna die," said Twilight removing the snow with her hooves Discord started coughing, then he shivered and said in a high,squeaky voice "I can't feel my fingers or ribs, I can't feel my fingers or ribs" "Oh wow" sighed Rainbow as she shoved him out of the snow "There you go" Discord coughed again, then he said: "Fluttershy, Fluttershy give me your warmth!!!" he said jumping into the tent "What?" asked Pinkie Discord poked his head outside the tent"Oh you know, Fluttershy, she has intense body heat" "How do you know that?" asked Twilight raising an eyebrow Discord slightly blushed "Well I snuggle with her a lot, so I know how warm she is, so, DARLING, give me the heat!!!" he said as he pulled his head back inside the tent. Applejack returned with firewood, the first thing she saw was Rainbow laughing "What are ya laughin about?" "Ask Discord" choked Rainbow between laughs Applejack rolled her eyes and started a bonfire "I finished mine Twi, what do you think?" asked Rainbow showing a snowpony that looked expertly built "Yeah, well look at what I built," said Twilight showing off a huge castle made of snowblocks, "H-How did you-"asked Rainbow, her jaw dropping "I took my time" answered Twilight walking inside and closing the door. Fluttershy came out of the tent, her arms folded, she then asked the girls; "Who buried Discord in snow?" Twilight and Pinkie pointed at Rainbow Dash who chuckled nervously "Yeah,....in my defense, if you saw it, you would have thought it was funny" Fluttershy shook her head and pointed towards the tent "Rainbow, go apologize to Discord" the light blue pegasus walked into the tent, a few minutes later she came out. "I didn't know Discord could glare that hard," said Rainbow "You should see him when he holds grudges" sighed Fluttershy flying back into the tent "FLUTTERSHY, DON'T GO, I WAS ABOUT TO MAKE SOME SMORES," said Pinkie showing a bag of marshmallows, roasting sticks, and graham crackers. Fluttershy walked back out and sat down on a log by the fire. ----------------------------------------------- "And then,......he lost all control, and after he terrorized the town, he was never seen again," Twilight said finishing her story the girls were shaking, except for Fluttershy she had Discord by her side to protect her from her fears "Alright, I think that's enough stories, it's getting quite late," said Rarity looking around yawning as the girls went into the tent, Discord curled up around Fluttershy, as long as he slept next to her, he never had any nightmares. > Chapter Four:The Proposal Pt.1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "How do you wish to get her here, will we lead her in disguise, or kidnap her?" asked the changeling guard "I'd say kidnap, we wouldn't want to anger her by tricking her" "When should we do it?" "Today,...I want her as soon as possible, " "Shall I go alone?" "Yes, you are the quickest one here, now go" "It shall be done my lord," said the guard flying off out the window, while Sombra looked into the crystal ball, looking at Fluttershy, Smirking "It won't be long now beautiful, you'll soon be mine, my little queen of darkness" ----------------------------------------------------------- Discord opened his eyes and looked around, it was the middle of the night, he looked down at Fluttershy, who was curled up beside him, he hated to leave her, but it was for a good cause, so he slowly got off the bed, he rubbed his paw up and down her back, and he gave her one last kiss before he tiptoed downstairs and out the door, once he was outside, he snapped his fingers and appeared next to Twilight's castle he knocked on the door, a small flap opened to reveal a pair of blue eyes "What's the password?" Discord groaned and muttered something under his breath "What was that?" "Klutzy Draconequus" he groaned "RIGHT" the flap closed, and the door opened to reveal Pinkie pie "I think we need a new password," said Discord as he walked in "That's not the point, tonight is the night you ask her," said Rarity importantly "WHAT?" shouted Rainbow and Discord at the same time "T-Tonight?" asked Discord nervously as he fainted on the floor When he regained consciousness, Discord made a noise that sounded like a puppy whining as he curled up in a ball on the floor "Oh Wow, Discord, I know you act immature, but seriously, this is just embarrassing" sighed Rainbow "Discord eventually got up, and asked, "So why do I feel like I'm missing something?" "THE RING" Rarity suddenly gasped "You need a ring" Discord's ears perked up in alarm, he started to pace "Rarity, I need jades, a rose quartz butterfly, and a golden ring" "Right" said Rarity running out the door, a few minutes she returned, Discord snapped his fingers and made the ring it was a golden ring with small jades encrusting the sides and it the middle top side was a butterfly carved from a block of rose quartz, the ring was worth ten karats, it was magnificent. "OH, Fluttershy will love it," said Rarity, admiration shining in her eyes "You think so?" the others nodded "Now, when you go out with her tonight, you need to get her a gift, but not just any gift, it has to be one that's meaningful and permanent" said Rarity sternly Discord lit up, he had the perfect idea, he started to make some of his belongings appear as he started to work, once he did, a pair of changeling eyes left the window,.....they saw everything ---------------------------------------------------- "SHE'S WHAT?!" asked a raging Sombra "She's getting married sire" "TO WHO?!" "A creature named Discord" Sombra growled and roared in anger "But he hasn't asked her yet " "What?" "He's only planning on proposing for now" "Well then,.... it looks like we'll have to take her away before he does" Sombra looked into the changeling's eyes "I want you to watch them, and when the time is right,....you know what to do" "Yes milord," said the changeling flying out the window once more Sombra suddenly smiled, he decided to have some fun with his bride-to-be ------------------------------------------------- "Fluttershy" a voice purred, it sent a shiver down the yellow Pegasus's spine "Fluttershy" the voice purred louder, she tossed and turned "Wh-Wh-Who are you? whimpered Fluttershy "Don't be scared, I've been watching you, you are very beautiful" "L-L-Leave me alone, please" "No need to be mean dearest" "I-I'm not, I just,.....I already have a coltfriend, so please go away" "Well, then I'll dispose of him, you'll be mine,....forever" "no no NO" screamed Fluttershy as she jolted straight awake Discord instantly appeared in the room he had a worried expression on his face "Fluttershy, are you okay? I heard you scream" he said pulling her close "Yes, I'm fine, I just had a nightmare" she replied "Is that all?" "Yes" "Oh, well I know just the thing that will cheer you up," he said with a smile, he snapped his fingers, a tray of waffles with whipped cream and strawberries, a blueberry muffin, and a glass of apple juice appeared "Surprise, breakfast in bed" "Discord this is really thoughtful, but,.......what's with the sudden gesture?" Discord felt sweat running down the back of his neck "Oh,.......because I love you" he tried to say casually Fluttershy smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek "I love you too" Discord smiled and asked, "Is it okay if we go out tonight?" "Oh Of COURSE" "GREAT," said Discord as he held a box and put it next to her, "Here's a dress Rarity made for you for tonight, I haven't looked at it because I don't want to ruin the surprise," he said disappearing Fluttershy sighed "He's so sweet" ---------------------------------------------------------------- it was six o'clock pm, Discord was pacing breathing heavily "What if she doesn't like the ring,?what if she doesn't like my gift? WHAT IF SHE DOESN'T LIKE ME, AND DECIDES TO BE WITH ANOTHER STALLION?!" he asked himself freaking out Rainbow slapped him in the face "Get it together old man!!!" "I beg your pardon?! I maybe a thousand years old, but I'm still as young as I was before, I mean look at Celestia" "She is a thousand years old, yet she looks as young as ever" Twilight confirmed "Whatever,...just keep it together, tonight is the night ya take the plunge" "You're right," he said straightening his bowtie "Good luck," said Twilight, as he snapped his fingers and disappeared > Chapter Five: The Proposal Pt.2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Fluttershy?" asked Discord as he walked into her cottage, he was wearing a black tuxedo, his bowtie was red, he looked very formal. "Coming," said a soft voice from upstairs then,.....there she was, she was wearing an elegant layered green gown, it had shimmering teal diamonds that resembled dew on a leaf for the front, the skirt was teal with green lining around the layers, she wore crystal clear shoes that were made of crystal itself, and her her was done up in a bun, and there was a shimmering white lily behind her ear, she looked absolutely ethereal. "You look really formal Discord," she said At first, all Discord could get out were stutters, then he remembered why he was there in the first place and then he said "uhh,...thanks, you look,...." he said the first words that came to his mind "like an Angel" she blushed and said, "Thank you,....so,.....where are we going?" "You'll see," he said as he held out his paw which she gladly took, "Close your eyes," Discord said Fluttershy complied Discord then snapped his fingers, they appeared in what could have been a garden sanctuary, the land was perfectly even with soft grass layering the earth, the grass wasn't too high, or too short, above the land was a beautiful night sky full of stars, the moon was also full, there was lots of room, and there was a table and chairs on the far left, there were lots of flowers, and to top it all off, the was an enormous waterfall, everything in the land,...was perfect. "Okay, you can look now" When Fluttershy opened her eyes, she gasped, it was the most beautiful setting that could ever take place in the night "Discord,......this is wonderful," said Fluttershy resting her gaze upon the draconequus "Just like you dearest, I thought you might like it, so I set this up, tonight is supposed to be very special" "May I ask why?" "I'm sorry, but I don't want to spoil the surprise" "Fair enough," she said Discord gestured her to move to the table, which she did before she sat down, he pulled the chair out for her.He summoned a salad for her and some apple juice, while he just had some cotton candy and chocolate milk "This is really nice of you Discord," she said "Well as long as I spend time with you, it's no problem" "Why are we here?I mean I love this place and everything but,......this is a bit much,........ just for a date that is" "Well, like I said, tonight is special" she nodded and continued eating as soon as they finished, Discord used the tuft on his tail as fingers and snapped them, music started playing "Shall we?" he asked gesturing to the open field she nodded as she got out of her seat, Discord gently took her hooves in his paw and claw and lead her to the field Discord wrapped his claw around her waist while his paw took her hoof, he didn't want to scratch her by accident, she used her free hoof to grab her skirt. as they danced, the music played, Discord held her like the most delicate thing in the world, his grip was firm but gentle, Fluttershy meanwhile, was enjoying herself, she felt free, but at the same time, she felt protected, like there was a forcefield around her, she looked around, but there was no forcefield, she felt happy, whenever she was around him, this was one of the reasons she loved Discord, she leaned her head against Discord's chest, Discord looked down at her, he smiled, he was in bliss whenever he had her this close to him. Eventually, Discord twirled her around and then dipped her, at this she slightly gasped, but smiled nonetheless he then lead her over by the waterfall, they sat down "Fluttershy, that was wonderful" "it really was" they both laughed, there was a silence for a few minutes, then Discord broke the silence "Fluttershy?" "Yes?" "I got you a gift" "Really?' "Yes,....here it is," he said handing her a book. She opened it, she gasped, it was full of pictures of all the dates they went on, it even had their very first one, she remembered all those times he had made her laugh and all those times they kissed, and all those times when she was happy, she looked up at Discord, her eyes were full of joy, "Th-Thank you" she said "You're welcome,....Fluttershy,...I have to ask you a question" "What is it?" Discord bent down on one knee, he held one hoof in his paw and claw "Fluttershy,....you're the most important pony in my life,.,..when we first met, I thought you were beautiful,...I also thought you were nothing more than that and that you were just a pony I could find anywhere else,....until you showed me kindness, I then realized that I wanted your friendship, and well,....I ended up falling in love,....something I never thought I could do,...I guess that just goes to show that with me, anything's possible, but I digress,....Fluttershy,....I love you more than all the chaos in the world, and I'd rather give up all my magic, just to see you happy, safe, and secure,...and I know that even I can't stop anything from happening, so I just want you to know,...that whatever changes happen in our lives,...I want to go through that with you" he reach down into his pocket and pulled out a pink box "Fluttershy,...my dearest,darling,treasure,..........will you marry me?" he said opening the box revealing the ring he had made for her Fluttershy gasped and put her hooves over her mouth, there were tears in her eyes,....she opened her mouth about to say something, when out of nowhere, something swooped down from the trees towards Fluttershy who started screaming, Discord leaped in front of her and swiped his claw at the thing's face when the thing fell, Discord and Fluttershy saw it more clearly,......it was a changeling "Hand her over if you want her safe," said the changeling "Never," Discord snarled "Then I'm afraid it's come to forcing her," said the changeling, he scratched Discord to the point where he couldn't stand up, meanwhile the changeling grabbed Fluttershy and said "Come on toots" "DISCORD HELP!!!!!!!", but the changeling put his hoof over her mouth as he flew away with her ----------------------------------------------------------------- "Discord? what's wrong" asked Twilight as Discord appeared, he had an angry look on his face "Did she say......no?" asked Rarity gasping in horror "No,.....she didn't get the chance, something took her" "What was it?" asked Twilight "A changeling," said Discord "And right now, I want to kill him" ----------------------------------------------------------------- Sombra sat upon his throne, waiting for his servant to come back with the mare, eventually he saw a changeling toss a mare onto a pillow inside the castle, the mare was unconscious so far "I have retrieved her sire" "Excellent," said the king Fluttershy's eyes fluttered opened, the first thing she saw was King Sombra,....he attacked the crystal empire before she squeaked and tried to run, but a changeling blocked her path "Leaving so soon? you just got here" said Sombra smiling wickedly he walked down from his throne and used his magic to pull her towards him. Once he did, he sat in front of her, he ran his hoof through her mane, he used his other hoof to lift her chin up so he could see her face properly his grin widened "Ah yes,......much prettier up close" he purred Fluttershy tried to back away but Sombra had cast a spell to keep her in place "W-Why do you want me here?" she asked trying to be brave "Well darling, to put it bluntly, I want you as my bride" Fluttershy's pupils shrank to the size of gumballs, she then fainted "Take her to my chambers" commanded Sombra "This is her new home" > Chapter Six: Evil Deeds > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fluttershy's eyes slowly opened "Wh-Where am I?" she asked groggily, she did not recognize the bed she was in at all, the walls, the floor, and the ceiling of the room were forged from black crystal, there was a dark red carpet on the floor, there was a mirror on the left of the room, and a vanity on the right, there was a chandelier on the ceiling with red crystal candles that were lit, Fluttershy sat up, she was in a red and black four poster bed, there was a table on either side of the bed.It soon slowly came back to her "Oh dear" she sighed "You called?" said a deep voice,....it was Sombra's he walked into the room "OH!!King Sombra,....listen, I can't marry you, I already have a fiance" "Then why aren't you wearing an engagement ring?" he asked "Oh that's right,....YOU ARE" Fluttershy felt around her neck,...she found a ruby diamond with an onyx ring, her pupils shrank "I,......I-I never agreed to wear this," she said slightly trembling, she started to try to take it off, but for some reason, it would not come off "I'm sorry dear,....but I'm afraid I cast a spell so you could not take it off,...now please change,...otherwise that dress will distract me," he said smirking while walking out the door Fluttershy sighed and flew off the bed and walked to the mirror she was still wearing the dress from last night and her hair was down, she sighed as she started to change. ------------------------------------- Fluttershy sat crying on the bed, she missed Discord something awful, she thought that her heart would explode from the pain,.......soon a voice interrupted her. "Excuse me miss, are you okay?" the voice was surprisingly tender, then the voice asked, "May I please come in?" Fluttershy stopped for a while, then she said "Yes" the door opened, in walked a changeling. Fluttershy slightly gasped, the last time she saw one, they kidnapped her. "Um,......hi," said the changeling Fluttershy looked at the changeling, he didn't look like he was trying to suppress a glare, in fact, he looked as though he was sorry for her. "Hello," she said automatically "Yes well, I'm Thorax, I will be your servant for your time here" the changeling holding out his hoof she took his hoof and shook it "Oh,...w-well, it's nice to meet you," she slightly smiled "The pleasure is mine," he said smiling himself "Well if you need anything just use this bell," he said handing her a little bell "Master Sombra expects you to be at the table in five minutes, I'll see you there miss" "Wait," said Fluttershy the changeling turned around, confused "Please,.....call me Fluttershy," she said The changeling smiled and nodded as he walked out the door ------------------------------------------------ Fluttershy walked into the throne room, Sombra was already waiting for her "Darling, there you are, it's breakfast time," he said walking to the table Fluttershy followed him, once she reached the table, she sat as far away from him as possible, she started to slowly eat her salad, it wasn't half bad, but it was not nearly as good as the ones Discord made them, this thought brought her on the verge of tears "You look wonderful this morning" Sombra's voice interrupted her thoughts "Um,.....what?" she said "I said you look wonderful this morning" he repeated "Oh,.......thank you," she said absentmindedly "I only speak the truth dearest" "First off, please don't call me the that," she said,it made her heart ache to hear that word, it reminded her of Discord as well "And secondly, do you care about my happiness?" Sombra teleported himself next to her, making her squeak "Why of course, why wouldn't I?' he said putting his hoof under her chin, his hoof felt stone cold, even without the armor "Well,....if you care about me so much, then may I please go home?" Sombra frowned for a minute, then he said "I'm afriad not my dear" "Why?" "Because I need you here, it's important" "How is it important?" "Why, because I love you of course" "I'm sorry,... but I can't return your feelings,......even if they aren't real" she muttered the last part "I just want to go home,.....you can't force me to love you, that's not how love works, no only that but it wouldn't be right, and it's not fair" she said politely "But how do you know if Discord really does love you?" "We dated for two years, he's always loved me" Sombra waited for a minute,....then to Fluttershy's surprise, he smiled and said "Very well,...you may go,...come let me show you the way out," he said Fluttershy smiled and followed him Sombra took her down many stairs until he stopped at a door at the bottom "Behind this door, is a portal that will take you home" Fluttershy smiled and said "Thank you" she opened the door and closed her eyes waiting to be teleported home, when she opened her eyes she was back at the place Discord had said he would marry her, she then saw the draconequus. "DISCORD!!!" she shouted with joy running towards him when he turned around, he looked angry, his arms were folded "Well, it's about time you got back," he said coldly Fluttershy suddenly stopped, she looked confused and hurt "Wh-What?" "You've been gone for a day and three hours, I thought you would've come back twenty-two hours ago" "Discord, I tried" "Really? you didn't make any attempts to escape, instead, you just sat there and did nothing like the stupid and wimpy pegasus that you are" Fluttershy's eyes started to fill up with tears "Bu-but Discord,....I was scared,...I-I couldn't help it, but I'm here now, i-isn't that what's important?" "OH Please,....you had no idea how long I've waited for you to come back,...I thought you could save yourself,... thought you were better than this, but I guess I was wrong" "D-Discord,...I'm sorry,...I-I'll try to hurry back next time,...I-I promise" "Actually, I don't think you'll have to next time" "Wh-Why?" "Because you and I are through, I never want to see you ever again" "W-WHAT? N-no,p-please D-Discord-" "It's over Fluttershy, goodbye forever," he said snapping his fingers, after he did he disappeared "D-Discord,....n-no,....no" she ran away, she couldn't stand to be there anymore Fluttershy suddenly fell on something hard, it was a stone floor "You're back? I thought you wanted to go home" said Sombra "He,...H-he doesn't l-love me anymore" she sobbed Sombra embraced her "There, there dearest" she buried her face in his chest"I-I just don't understand,....why would he just hate me all of a sudden? it's probably my fault" "Oh no, no, no, you didn't do anything wrong,....as for your question,.....I wonder why" he grinned evily, little did he know that above them was Thorax, he had seen everything --------------------------------------------------------- "FLUTTERSHY!!!!" cried a pink pony with hair as flat as a deflated balloon "There there, pinkie," said Applejack patting her friend on the back "I can't believe a changeling took her, I thought we defeated them," said Twilight pacing Rarity was on her fainting couch bawling her eyes out and eating ice cream Rainbow dash meanwhile was beating a dead tree harder than she had ever beaten anything before, although she was trying to hold back the tears but out of all of the ones crying, it was Discord by far who was crying the hardest, he thought that it was his fault that she was gone, if he had just used his magic, if he had just snapped his fingers, if he had just tried harder he could have saved her, he felt as though he was the real monster, he thought he was being selfish, not trying with all his might to try to protect her,but deep down he knew that he did his best, his body was still covered in scratches, and letting his tears fall on them did not help at all, for once he didn't know what to do.Suddenly he stopped, no, he wouldn't let this happen, he had to find her,...no matter what the tragic cost "I'm going to find her," he said "What?" the others said in unison "I'm going to find her, I love her too much to let her go" "But how will you find her, you can't do it alone" said Twilight, suddenly a voice said "I can help" > Chapter Seven: Love is blind > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "A CHANGELING" shouted Rainbow Dash jumping in front of her friends and Discord "No wait,....I want to help" said Thorax Rainbow was about to hurt him when she was stopped, Discord was the cause of this "Let him talk," he said "WHAT?" the others shouted "F-F-Fluttershy would've let him talk if she was here,...I don't fully trust him, but if she was here, she'd give him the benefit of the doubt, I think I should do the same" The changeling smiled "You must be Discord" he said "Yes,...please tell me everything you know that can help me save her, where is she?" "She's in master Sombra's castle" "SOMBRA?" asked Twilight "Yes, he had his changeling guard take miss Fluttershy to his castle, he,.....he wants her to be his bride" Discord's eyes narrowed as flames erupted around him he looked just as fierce as Fluttershy did when she was yelling at Eris long ago "HE WANTS HER TO WHAT?!!!!" "I'm sorry, but it's true, he wants her because she's so pretty and because she's powerful, he wants to use her,.....I was supposed to be his servant, but then I saw him make her cry by hoodwinking her" "THAT SON OF A-" Discord swore so badly that Pinkie had to take out her sound effect machine and keep on pressing the button that made the same beep noise that TVs made when something was censored "I know, but if you follow me, I can help you" "Why should we trust you?" asked Rainbow still not convinced "Because I'm your only chance" Discord then said "He's right, we have to trust him" eventually, the others nodded and followed Thorax -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fluttershy was crying on the bed, she had been crying for five hours suddenly there was a knock on the door, Fluttershy said between sobs "Come in" Sombra entered the room, he sat beside trying to suppress a smirk "Please dearest, don't be sad, it's not your fault that he doesn't love you" he wrapped a hoof around her back "but I do, I do" Fluttershy pushed the hoof away "I appreciate your concern for how I feel, but I,...." "Don't love me?" he asked she nodded he put his hoof under her chin, forcing her to look into his eyes "But I've shown you kindness, I've been sympathetic, and I've given you everything you've wanted haven't I?" "But not my freedom" "But do you really want to go back now?" Fluttershy opened her mouth to speak, then she stopped, she was on the verge of tears again "Listen,... You love me" his eyes were turning into swirls, a few seconds later, so did hers "I,.......I love you" she repeated "You want to stay here," he said "I want to stay here" "you don't have friends" "I don't have friends" "Good,....now tell me,.. do you ever want to see Discord again?" "No,.......No,......NOOOOOOOO" as she said this her complexion turned gray, her eyes looked like Sombra's, her hair had changed to red with streaks of black, Sombra's darkness had consumed her. "Darling, are you tired?" asked Sombra smiling "Yes" she said laying down under the covers Sombra smirked "Sleep well, my queen of darkness" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Discord and the girls without wings were panting "Are-we-there-yet?" asked Pinkie panting "Not yet, but we're close" Thorax "Discord, why didn't you simply teleport us there again?" asked Rarity "My body is covered in scratches, I can't snap, it hurts too much" "Makes sense" muttered Applejack "How do we defeat him? We don't have the crystal heart" asked Twilight "I'd say our only hope is to get past the guards, find miss Fluttershy, and then, fight Sombra," said Thorax "So do you think Fluttershy's okay?" asked Rainbow "I'm sure she's fine, fortunately, Sombra isn't cruel enough to hurt a mare, that's his only limit," said Thorax "Well I hope so, otherwise he's going to find himself in-" Discord began until Thorax interrupted him "We're here" "Well what are we waiting for?" asked Rainbow charging until Thorax stopped her, "We need to go in quietly, it's urgent that we do" "So we have to sneak eh?" asked Rainbow, she then flew to the guards and knocked them out "Well that worked, I guess," said Thorax, "Come on" the others followed -------------------------------------------- Fluttershy sat upon her new throne smirking down at the slaves before her who were gawking at her "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?" she asked haughtily they stopped staring and got back to work "Excuse me, are the slaves bugging you my dear?" asked Sombra "No, they're just staring at me like the idiots that they are," said Fluttershy "Don't worry dear, I am here to keep an eye on you," he said smiling, Fluttershy returned the smile. Suddenly a changeling came in and said "Sire, your meeting is in less than a minute" "Ugh, very well, do not move my queen," he said looking back at her she nodded, as he walked away, she thought "stupid changelings" -------------------------------------------------- Discord and the others were right behind the door of the throne room, they waited for everypony to leave the room except for Fluttershy, they didn't hear her say anything, "Here goes," said Discord 'One, two, THREE". > Chapter Eight:A Sad Song > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- the doors to the throne room slightly opened, Fluttershy turned her head, she saw her friends, Thorax, and Discord, her jaw dropped "Discord?" "FLUTTERSHY!!!" he cried with glee, he run over picked her up and held her in an embrace "Oh DARLING, it gives me so much bliss to see-" he started to say when his beloved pushed him to the ground, the others gasped, even Rainbow "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!!" she Roared Discord looked at her, hurt and confused, "Fluttershy,....I-it's me,....Discord" "I know, I'm not stupid," she said "So,.....w-why are you....." "Oh, I don't know,....maybe it's because YOU BROKE MY HEART TO PIECES" "W-what do you mean?" "You broke her heart, didn't she tell you?" asked a voice, it was Sombra walking down the stairs Discord snarled"What are you talking about?", then he realized that she did not look like herself "Why does she look like that?" he growled "It's not important, but I'm afraid she loves ME now" Discord's world collapsed all around him, it couldn't be, but she doesn't love him anymore, so it had to be true. "Flutters, what about us?" asked rainbow "I don't need friends, all I need is Sombra," she said firmly "Indeed, now I suggest that you all leave," said Sombra the others looked like they were ready to start a fight, but then Twilight spoke up "Okay,....we'll leave" "Twi,.....y-your not serious are you?" asked Rainbow "We have no choice, we have to" she turned around trying to hold back the tears, but failed. "I promised meh'self ah wouldn't cry on the outside, ah just broke that promise," said Applejack, there were tears running down her face "We'll miss you Flutters" choked Rainbow "We'll never forget you, darling," said Rarity, her mascara running "FLUTTERSHY, I KNOW THIS IS GOODBYE, BUT DON'T FORGET US" shouted Pinkie, her mane deflating Discord was walking out the door with them, untill he abruptly stopped "Wait,.............please, let me say goodbye to her" Sombra rolled his eyes "Fine, just make it quick, I have plans I want to do with my queen" Discord walked up to Fluttershy, who did her best not to groan in annoyance, she turned her head with her hooves crossed, then to her and the others surprise he began to sing. "You and I, We're like fireworks and symphonies exploding in the sky. With you, I'm alive Like all the missing pieces of my heart, they finally collide." Fluttershy opened one eye "So stop time right here in the moonlight, 'Cause I don't ever wanna close my eyes." she stopped folding her hooves and this time both her eyes were open, Discord took her hooves in his paw and claw "Without you, I feel broke. Like I'm half of a whole. Without you, I've got no hoof to hold. Without you, I feel torn. Like a sail in a storm. Without you, I'm just a sad song. I'm just a sad song". he let go of her hooves with tears in his eyes and started to walk away when he jumped, he heard singing. "With you, I fall. It's like I'm leaving all my past in silhouettes upon the wall. With you, I'm a beautiful mess. It's like we're standing hoof in paw with all our fears upon the edge." Fluttershy took his paw and looked him in the eyes "So stop time right here in the moonlight, 'Cause I don't ever wanna close my eyes." Fluttershy smiled up at him, he smiled back, he held her hoofs in his paw and claw as they started to rise into the air "Without you, I feel broke. Like I'm half of a whole. Without you, I've got no hoof to hold. Without you, I feel torn. Like a sail in a storm. Without you, I'm just a sad song." Fluttershy's coat began to turn back into light yellow, her red dress changed from red and black into a blissful pure shade of green, her hair turned back to its lovely lotus shade, and lastly her eyes turned back to shimmering jades, they held each other's hooves, paw, and claw as they twirled, and sang in perfect harmony "'You're the perfect melody, The only harmony I wanna hear. You're my favorite part of me, With you standing next to me, I've got nothing to fear." he held her head in his paw while singing softly "Without you, I feel broke. Like I'm half of a whole" . then she sang "Without you, I've got no paw to hold." Then Discord sang "Without you, I feel torn. Like a sail in a storm. Without you, Without you, I feel broke. Like I'm half of a whole. Without you, I've got no hoof to hold. Without you, I feel torn. Like a sail in a storm. Without you, I'm just a sad song. I'm just a sad song." they slowly shifted back onto the ground, they both leaned forward, they were so close to a kiss until they were interrupted by Sombra "HOW DID SHE ESCAPE MY DARK MAGIC? I SHOWED HER MY DOOR OF FEARS!!!" "First of all, is that the best name you can come up with?" asked Twilight "It's a work in progress" groaned Sombra "Second of all, AHA, I know about that door, me and spike encountered it when King Sombra tried to take over the crystal empire, it shows a pony a vision of their worst fear" Fluttershy turned to face Discord "Well that explains why I thought you were leaving me, You said that you were disappointed that I couldn't rescue myself within two hours, that you were mad that I didn't try to do anything to escape, I kept trying to tell you that I was scared and that I would hurry next time, but you said there wouldn't be a next time because you and I were,...." Fluttershy trailed off Discord held her in his arms "I could never be disappointed in you, I know you would be scared, and I would never leave you, I will admit, losing you forever is MY worst fear, but now that your here, I'm not scared, and I love you too much to ever leave you" the girls looked at the two, they had smiles of tenderness and endearing emotions, Rainbow groaned "Darn it, now you got ME all sappy" but she had a small smile regardless. > Chapter Nine: The Battle > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "You ponies think you've won? you forget one little thing,.....me, and my CHANGELINGS" said Sombra, more than a thousand Changelings flew in, they looked at Thorax and hissed "it's over, my changelings outnumber you, one million to a measly little eight" "Give us a minute," said Discord, he made a forcefield around the mane six, Thorax, and himself, they got into a huddle "What are we gonna do?" asked Applejack "Well, I have a few ideas," Said Discord "What?" the others asked in unison "I'd say we'd first call amore and her knight," he said, when the others looked confused he sighed "Princess Cadence and Shining Armor" "OH," the others said in unison "We call them, and tell them to help us, they banished him last time" "What about the changelings?" asked Twilight "I say that Thorax talks to them and tell the truth," said Fluttershy "Right, meanwhile we fight Sombra," said Rainbow "Let's do it," said Pinkie when Discord undid the forcefield, he pounced on Sombra, the changelings took this as a sign to start the battle Rarity changed into a pair of pretty boots, Applejack was about to complain when Rarity kicked the changeling, he got shocked and fainted "Ya got any more of those?" asked Applejack "Not at the moment," said Rarity filing her hoofs while she used her right leg to kick a changeling out of the way Applejack started using her lasso to gather up the changelings, once she had them all, she tossed the rope in a corner Thorax walked up to them and started to tell them that there was another way to survive, meanwhile Discord was in battle with Sombra "You picked the wrong mare to mess with," said Discord "What do you mean, she was perfect, she was very powerful, not to mention gorgeous" Discord growled and scratched him on the head "SHE'S MINE!!!" he growled "I need her to live and to have her be by my side" "Well, I need her, I need her to take over the crystal empire" "Sorry, I don't think you'll be able to do that," said a voice in the room, it was Princess Cadence, and Shining armor was by her side Sombra growled and shot two blasts at the others who dodged the attack Discord was getting bored with fighting the changelings and Sombra, so he snapped his fingers and teleported himself upstairs to fight Sombra Sombra used his horn to scratch Discord's tail, at which he slightly groaned, but kept attacking "Why don't you just leave me and my angel alone?" asked discord throwing him against the wall "You mean my queen of darkness?" Discord put his hands around Sombra's neck "I swear if you call her that one more time, I will make sure you die and go to Tartarus" Sombra chuckled "Do you really think that she wants to be with YOU?" "Don't try to fool me Sombra, that angel does love me, she said so herself" "What if she was just feeling sorry for you?" at this Discord's expression slightly saddened, he hadn't thought of that, he felt a lump in his throat, he tried to hold back the tears "I thought so, you don't deserve a mare like her, she's better off as my queen" at this Discord snapped, he snapped his fingers a butcher's knife appeared "You're wrong Sombra, even if she doesn't love me, I know that she would rather marry me than be your queen" Sombra chuckled again "You wouldn't kill me Discord, that wouldn't be what your" he did a hoof quote "beloved would want" "Kill you? heavens no, I had something else in mind" said Discord darkly, he lifted the knife and cut off Sombra's horn. Sombra screamed in agony, as darkness surrounded him, his voice echoed "NOOOOO, THAT WAS MY ONLY SOURCE OF POWER" when the smoke cleared, Sombra was gone, Discord panted, he was gone, Discord snapped his fingers and appeared downstairs, before him he saw strange, but beautiful creatures, it was then he realized that these creatures, were the reformed changelings. "DISCORD" yelled a voice, it was Fluttershy she flew over to him and embraced him, "Are you hurt?" she asked "Nothing magic won't fix," said Discord, his previous scratches were healed when he was singing with Fluttershy, he snapped his fingers and all the injuries he had received disappeared. "Fluttershy?" asked Discord "Yes?" "Do you,.....really love me, or are my marefriend because you feel sorry for me?" "Discord, I love you, sure I would feel sorry for you if you were sad, but I'm your marefriend because I love you" Fluttershy showed him the engagement ring Sombra had put around her neck "Sombra put this on me and cast a spell so I couldn't take it off, but now that he's gone, I can finally take it off" she removed the ring from her neck and tossed it aside "Speaking of engagement rings," said Discord nervously rubbing the back of his neck "You never answered my question I asked you on our date" Fluttershy looked up at him "So,...do you want to,.....?" Discord trailed off, then he felt something almost squeeze all the air out of him Fluttershy jumped up and threw her hooves and wings around him "YES, YES, YES, a thousand times yes, I want to spend the rest of my life with you, nothing would make me happier" she shouted with joy. Discord smiled as he summoned the engagement ring he had for her and put it around her neck. The reformed changelings and the mane six cheered, even Rainbow did a backflip in the air, "YEAH-HA-HA, WOO" shouted Rainbow, everypony looked at her in shock, she then flew down slowly "I mean, pffft whatever" she tried to say as though she didn't care, everypony just laughed, she laughed with them. > Chapter Ten:The Bachelor's Party > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "This is gonna be AWESOME," said Spike laying upside down on a pile of books Twilight giggled "I can't believe me and Big Mac get to be in Discord's bachelor party" "Well, you are his friends, and your both male," said Twilight reading a book "Well, either way, he and I are gonna make this the best bachelor party EVER" "You said that at Cadence and Shining Armor's wedding" "Well I REALLY mean it this time, I just can't wait" "I just can't believe Fluttershy's getting married" "Same here, and I didn't think Discord would EVER work up the nerve to purpose" "Yeah,.......Spike?" "Yeah Twilight?" "How are your dates with Rarity?" Spike nearly fell off the pile of books if Twilight's magic hadn't caught him Spike blushed "W-Well, their not that big, there more like uh,.....friend dates" "You say so" Spike leaned his hand on the pile of books "Soooooo,......how are you with Flash Sentry?" at this Twilight blushed harder than Spike and dropped her books "Ummmm,.........we're good, he's a really good guy" "You say so," said Spike slyly -------------------------------------------------- Discord hummed "Winter wrap up" merrily, he couldn't remember a time when he was happier, except for his first kiss in the Canterlot castle, he was going to be married to his beautiful, kind, caring, gentle, delicate, graceful, and perfect-in-every-way Fluttershy, Discord then checked the time, it was time for his bachelor party, he snapped his fingers and appeared at Twilights castle, where he saw Spike and Big Mac "DISCORD" yelled Spike Discord ran over to them, were they started to do their "Secret Dance" "It's guys night oh yeah, throwing a party now, oh yeah" they chanted "Time to go into ogres and oubliettes," Said Spike "EEEYEPP," said, Big Mac ----------------------------------------------------------------- "You'll never win evil Squizard," said Sp- er, Garbuckle "EEENOPEE," said Sir McBiggen "You cannot defeat me, warriors!" said their foe "YOU'LL NEVER HAVE SPIKETOPIA, OR RARITY,-uhh,....I mean, Shmarity" said the little wizard blushing while his companions slightly laughed Captain Wuzz aimed his bow and arrow at One of head guards, he succeeded at hitting his target "NO Fredrick" cried the Squid wizard, he then said, "Head guard down, repeat, head guard down" they were then surrounded by guards, Garbuckle cast a charm on McBiggen so he could run really fast, the red earthpony grabbed his sword his mouth, and slash his sword through all of the guards by rotating around in a circle "SiR MCBIGGEN, GIVE ME YOUR SWORD" shouted Garbuckle holding out his claw Sir McBiggen tossed Garbuckle the sword, then Captain Wuzz gave him a boost and sent him flying high into the air, when he landed he sliced the evil squidzard in half, the squid then disappeared. "YES" they all shouted, they did their dance again "It's guys night, oh yeah, beat the squidzard now, oh yeah" they chanted Captain Wuzz snapped his fingers, and they returned back to Twilight's castle "That was Awesome," said Spike "EEEYUPP," said Big Mac, "Yes it was certainly a pleasure to play such a ADVENTUREOUS game," said Discord "But how about we play some charades now?" "Sure," said Spike "It is your bachelor party" Discord snapped his fingers, Spike and Big Mac appeared on an exquisite couch, Discord was standing up, he read a small piece of paper, he then laughed "This one's HILARIOUS!!!" laughed Discord, he then made a sad face, his eyes changed to a pair of eyes that Spike knew very well indeed "Ha-Ha-Ha, It's Twilight when she loses a book" laughed Spike, Big Mac chuckled a bit as well "RIGHT" choked Discord from laughing so hard when they eventually stopped laughing, Spike got up off the couch and said "My turn" Spike read a piece of paper, then he started breakdancing "Your in disco" guessed Big Mac "You SIR, have dance fever," said Discord Spike nodded and stopped dancing Big Mac got up and read another piece of paper, he started making strange bird noises "Are you a chicken?" asked Discord "How 'bout a pigeon?" asked Spike "EEEYUPP," said, Big Mac "Okay, who's ready for some movie time?" the others looked at Discord "Uhhh,......what are watching?" asked Spike a TV appeared "The A-Team," said Discord ----------------------------------------------------------- the three friends were laughing "Did you see Mr.T?" asked Big Mac "Yeah, he's a lot like you Big Mac, except a bit more grumpy," said Spike "So which character are you Spike?" asked Discord "Well, I'm obviously face since I'm super handsome," said Spike smiling the others folded their arms and raised an eyebrow "Okay fine, I guess I'm Murdock" sighed Spike "BUT I'M NOT MAD" he said at the end "I'm Hanniable by a longshot," said Discord, he then had on an outfit that the character had on in the marathon they watched "So,.....Discord, how did you get the guts to purpose to Fluttershy? I mean that's a pretty big commitment" said Spike slyly, elbowing Discord in the ribs "EEEYUPP," said big mac in the same tone Discord blushed "Well, it wasn't easy, I thought she was gonna say no, but I asked her, which brings us to about now" he said nervously, he then smirked "So squirt, how are things going with you and Rarity?" the draconequus asked "W-We're good, she seems to like me a lot, but I don't know if we're "In the zone" yet" answered the purple dragon blushing "So Big Mac how are things with you and Cheerilee?Are you guys doing good?" asked Spike "EEEYUPP," answered the red earthpony, Discord then stood up "Well boys, tonight was the best night of m life, that is with others guys, but I need to get going, Ta-ta" Said Discord disappearing. > Chapter Eleven:The Wedding > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fluttershy and her friends were in the dressing room in the Canterlot Castle, Fluttershy was in her wedding gown, her hair was in an elegant bun, she looked more beautiful than all of the pretty mares in Equestria combined. "Oh Darling, you look beyond ethereal," said Rarity close to tears "It's thanks to you Rarity, the dress is gorgeous" replied the beautiful mare, which was, of course, true, Rarity could make dresses that made even unattractive mares seem pretty "I can't even recognize myself," said Fluttershy looking into the mirror "I only made the dress dear, you're beautiful all on your own" "I'm really happy for ya Flutters," said Rainbow "Even if it IS discord?" "Yeah,.....but he better treat you right, otherwise he's going to get a huge one-four," said Rainbow Fluttershy giggled "I'm sure he'll treat me just fine" "Oh sugar, ah can't believe we get ta be yer bridesmaids at yer weddin," said Applejack "I Couldn't do it without you," Fluttershy said smiling "Fluttershy, I just want to say that we're so happy you've finally found somepony you want to spend the rest of your life with," said Twilight with the others nodding "Me too,......This is going to be amazing" "OMG YOU'LL JUST LOVE THE WEDDING CAKE, IT HAS LAYERS OF VANILLA-" she gasped "I SHOULD KEEP IT A SURPRISE. I'M SO SORRY BUT I'M JUST SO NEVOUSCITED" Fluttershy smiled "It's okay, I'm excited as well," "But not nervous?" "I don't have to be, today is not a day I have to face my fears, in fact, if I didn't two years ago, I never would have met my Discord" the girls giggled, suddenly there was a knock at the door "Girls, are you in there? I need help!" said Spike's voice from outside the room "I'll come," said Rainbow flying towards the door "Rainbow, Discord's hasn't left his room for five hours, I think he might be gone," said spike when his friend opened the door, Rainbow raced towards Discord's Dressing room, Spike sighed "Why can't that mare ever wait up?" ------------------------------------------------------------------ Rainbow crashed into the room, shouting "DISCORD, IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR TUCHAS OUT HERE NOW, I'M GONNA KICK IT!!!" Spike ran into the room panting "Have-You-Found Him-Yet?" he said between gasps "Nope" she answered, then she saw a coffin on the ceiling, she flew up and opened it, Discord let out a yelp of alarm as he fell out "Wake up Dracula, it's your wedding day!!!" said Rainbow dash folding her arms glaring at him "Owww" groaned Discord rubbing his head "What were you doing in that coffin?" "Sweating and being shameful" answered Discord "Oh no, you are NOT gonna leave Fluttershy at the alter, we worked too hard to organize this, plus think about how she'll feel" "I'm sorry, but I'm too nervous" "Listen, I gotta help Flutters get ready,............ just think about it," said the blue pegasus flying out of the room, spike following behind her, Discord then thought about it He took a deep breath, "I can do this" -------------------------------------------------- "I CAN'T DO THIS, I CAN'T DO THIS!!!" Discord breathed heavily trying to open the doors, but they were magic proof, only the one who could undo it was the one who cast it "DISCORD, what did I tell you?" asked rainbow folding her hooves once more "Listen, I do want to marry, but what if somepony objects? Or what if she says I don't? or WORSE, What if Sombra turns into a zombie and tries to kill everypony?" Rainbow did a facehoof "Okay, first off; you watch WAY too many horror movies, and second; Nopony will object, and thrid, there's no way Fluttershy will say no, as much as I hate to admit it, you mean a lot to her, she couldn't live without you, and if you think she doesn't want to spend her life with you, then you've got oatmeal for brains" Discord smiled "So,.....you DO want us to be married?" "Don't push it" said Rainbow "If I didn't care about her happiness, I would have objected" "You sure?" "Okay, okay,........maybe I do want this to happen a tiny bit" Discord laughed, Rainbow joined him "Now get your rump out there and get this over with," she said shoving him out into the throne room, but after Discord snapped his fingers and his tux appeared, it was a very bright blue, it reminded Rainbow of Soarin's coat, Discord then walked over to Twilight. ---------------------------------------------------------- Discord kept breathing in and out through a brown paper bag "DUDE, I thought you WANTED this to happen" groaned Rainbow "I DO, that still doesn't mean I'm not nervous," he said "You simply CAN'T get cold feet now, today is the most important day of your life!" exclaimed Rarity "Of COURSE it is Silly, why do you think he's sweating so much?" said Pinkie "I am not sweating," said Discord "Dude, you're literally starting to flood the place" Said Rainbow Discord looked down, there was sweat covering the entire floor Discord snapped his fingers, the sweat disappeared "I'm sorry, but I can't help it," he said whimpering "Hush, the' ceremony's startin" whispered Applejack the big doors opened, Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle trotted down the aisle spreading rose petals over the red carpet "What am I gonna do? what Can I do?" Discord asked himself nervously, then he heard the gasps of many stallions, he looked at the aisle, then,.....he saw her,.......in her gown, she smiled at Discord, who was gawking at her "You okay?" asked Applejack "uh huh," he said Stupidly, then he regained his composure "She's,......a goddess" he whispered in awe "Easy there,...ya can tell her later" whispered Applejack smugly Fluttershy continued to walk down the aisle, every stallion that was single was staring at her Scootaloo sighed blissfully "Gee,.." sighed Applebloom happily "That's beautiful," said Sweetie Belle, her friends looked at her "Hey, I call it as I see it," she said, then she and her friends returned to their blissful state Fluttershy had reached the end, she gazed up at Discord, who held her hooves in his paw and claw "Mares, and Gentlecolts, fillies, and colts of all ages, we gather here to celebrate the unusual, yet beautiful union of Discord, and Fluttershy, I can only see how,.....uncomfortable Discord is feeling right now" Twilight slightly smirked at the last part, there were a few laughs from the audience, Fluttershy slightly giggled while Discord turned red "But I also see the amazing amount of ponies who showed up for this wedding, I'm sure the bride and groom would like to thank you all for coming" Discord and Fluttershy nodded "I can't explain in words how HONORED I am to be the one to bind these two souls together for all of eternity, Never has there been a love this powerful, this strong, to have overcome Sombra's dark magic, this just goes to prove, that love can surpass anything, whether it's a love between different species or a love between a match made in heaven, this romance started as a small seed of friendship, that soon grew into a beautiful Rose of trust, happiness, and most of all,....love itself." Twilight turned to Fluttershy "Fluttershy, do you take Discord to be your lawful wedded husband?In sickness, and in health, until death do you part?: "I do," said Fluttershy smiling up at Discord Twilight then turned to Discord "Do you Discord, take Fluttershy to be your lawful wedded wife?In sickness and in health, until death do you part?" Discord was gazing into Fluttershy, and although he was lost in her eyes, he didn't ever want to find his way out "Dude, answer her!!!" whispered Rainbow "Hm? oh right, yes I do, I do with all my heart" exclaimed Discord "Then, Spike? may I please have the rings?" Twilight levitated the rings off the pillow, the Ring Fluttershy had looked just like her engagement ring, except it was more shimmering, it was also worth ten karats, Discord's ring was onyx with small rubies encrusting the outside, Discord put Fluttershy's ring around her neck, and Fluttershy helped Discord slip on his ring, "I now pronounce you, husband and wife, you may now-" before Twilight could finish, Discord quickly grabbed Fluttershy by the waist, lifted her to his eye level, and pressed his lips against hers, Rainbow looked away, trying not to vomit, and not to frown, the ponies cheered, as soon as she stopped gagging, Rainbow joined them, then she rushed outside, and did a sonic rainboom. ----------------------------------------------------------- Fluttershy and Discord were outside, along with the guests, Pinkie and Cheese got ahold of the music, and Twilight was singing "Love is in Bloom" "Sister, you have to admit, they really go well together" sighed Luna "Indeed Luna, I've never seen Discord so happy," said Celestia "Do you remember when you thought Discord had a crush on YOU?" Celestia chuckled "It was one of the greatest pranks you and Discord ever pulled when we were younger" "Yes,.....you did get the present right?" "Yes," Celestia said with a wink meanwhile, Rainbow Dash was nervously walking up to Soarin "Hey,.....Soarin?' "Yeah Dash?: "I know it sounds really lame, but,..........do you want to,........slow dance?" "I'd thought you'd never ask," he said pulling her to the dancefloor "Hey Rarity,......should we,.....join them?" asked Spike nervously to Rarity "Indeed," said Rarity smiling, while she and Spike walked towards the dancefloor "Hey Twilight," said a voice behind her, it was flash sentry, they both blushed "Do you,.....want to dance?" asked Flash "Y-yeah,.....sure," said Twilight smiling sheepishly "AJ, you always make the best pies," said Carmel after he finished a slice "Thanks, ah've had years of practice," said the cowfilly, then Carmel spoke again "Applejack?" "Yeah?" "Wanna play some horseshoe toss?" "Sounds good ta me" she replied following Carmel Fluttershy looked up at Discord, who lovingly smiled back "Fluttershy?" he whispered "Yes?" "I love you so much" "I love you too" Fluttershy then gasped "Oh, it's time for the honeymoon, we need to get to the carriage" Discord nodded and teleported them over to the carriage, Discord opened the door for her "After you," he said "Wait, hold on," Said Fluttershy, she then tossed the bouquet high into the air, Rarity reached high into the air to catch it, but it landed in the hooves of Pinkie Pie, who wasn't even moving Pinkie gasped dramatically "I'M GOING TO BE THE NEXT ONE DOWN THE AISLE," she said excitedly jumping up and down "Oh yeah, that reminds me, can I say something crazy?" asked Cheese sandwich who was right next to her, Pinkie nodded her head while giggling and snorting like a pig "Will you marry me?" he said holding out a rose quartz ring that had a blue gem, then a yellow gem, then another blue gem, like Pinkie's cutie mark, pinkie gasped dramatically again "Can I say something EVEN CRAZIER?" Cheese sandwich nodded, Pinkie pie tackled him in a bear hug "YES!!!" Soon, powered by magic, the carriage took off with Fluttershy and Discord inside "You look like a goddess," said Discord "Thank you" Discord then pounced on her making her lie down on the seat while he let out a seductive purr, she squeaked in surprise "Discord, you shouldn't do that" scolded Fluttershy trying to push him off of her "I do apologize,"Said Discord lifting her back up "But relax, I just want to,....... give affection to my lovely new wife in a rather,.......playful way" Fluttershy giggled "You really are my little devil" "And you're my little angel" cooed Discord holding her by the waist, then while leaning forward towards his beloved, his tail pulled the shades down.
