Hearth's Warming Day 2~
Fluttershy yawned, her eyes fluttering open. She sighed in content. Yesterday was the best Hearth's Warming she had yet. But, she didn't remember when she went to bed.
Her eyes widened as a small sigh escaped from Discord as he nuzzled into her mane. Fluttershy blushed a deep crimson. She had fallen asleep and Discord was cuddling with her! Fluttershy's breathing quickened, and she wondered what to do. Her mind ran through possible ideas, but all of them would wake up Discord, and she would have to face the embarrassment.
Since nothing worked, she decided she was just going to stay. It was only the crack of dawn. Through the window came a shadow, showing a flurry of little specks racing down, and Fluttershy realized it was probably the snow storm Rainbow had told her about. Fluttershy nuzzled Discord's cheek, and went back to sleep.
Fluttershy woke again to a small chuckle.
"Hmm?" Fluttershy blinked groggily, and looked up at Discord, who had a smirk on his face.
"You are so adorable when you sleep," said Discord. Fluttershy felt like her face might explode. Discord's expression went to total shock as he realized he said that out loud. "Oh! Oh, Fluttershy, sor-" He trailed off as Fluttershy let out a small giggle.
"Thank you for the compliment," said Fluttershy daringly. Her face was still red. "You look very hoofsome when you sleep." She leaned up, and nuzzled him on the cheek. "Now, excuse me. I need to make sure I have a few things set." Discord's eyes widened in bewilderment.
"My dear, someone is brave today," said Discord. "Was it because you slept with the Lord of Chaos?" Both of them turned bright red as he said that. "Oh, gosh. That came out wrong."
"It really did, no offense," said Fluttershy.
"Well, same thing for breakfast?" asked Discord.
"I was thinking some buttered toast and tea, but whatever you want is fine," said Fluttershy.
"Buttered toast it is!" exclaimed Discord, snapping his talons, and a new surrounding formed. They were in a snowy forest, except this time the snow was frozen marshmallow. A table rested in the middle of a tree, made from spruce wood, and Discord teleported them to it. "Like it?"
"It's wonderful!" said Fluttershy, smiling eagerly, taking some marshmallow in her hoof, and ate it slowly. "Marshmallow is delicious."
"I know," said Discord. He summoned two plates of toast, with butter in the center of the table.
It was the second day of Hearth's Warming, and Fluttershy had a small idea of what to do. It wouldn't take very long, like the idea of ice skating was with Discord.
"Hey, Discord, I have an idea of what we can do," said Fluttershy. The living room was back to normal, and Discord had his legs on top of the arms.
"What is that, my dear?" asked Discord.
"Perhaps... Perhaps we can make a snowpony," said Fluttershy. She recoiled in fear. "I-I'm sorry if it's a bad idea! I thought you would like to since it's snowing."
"It's amazing. I can wear that new sweater you got me!" said Discord. He snapped his talons, and the sweater was on him. Fluttershy blushed, thinking he looked hoofsome. She knew where that thought came from. What she wanted most these twelve days of Hearth's Warming was a kiss from Discord. But alas, Discord would never give her of all ponies one. He probably thought Twilight or Celestia was pretty, and wanted to date one of them. Fluttershy pushed the negative thoughts away, and smiled.
"Okay," they went outside, and Discord flopped down on the snow. Fluttershy gasped. "Oh my Celestia! Are you okay, Discord?" Discord laughed loudly.
"Better than okay! There is like two feet of snow here!" Discord said. "Come on out. Oh! You can't be out here like that." He snapped his talons, and Fluttershy wore a mint green sweater with white ear muffs. Her hooves had matching white snow boots.
"Discord, you're getting me a new Hearth's Warming wardrobe!" giggled Fluttershy.
"Well, you mares like your clothes," said Discord. "Or is it just Rarity?"
"All of us like them," confirmed Fluttershy. "Thank you, again."
"Well, enough of talking about presents, and let's get building!" said Discord. Fluttershy gave him a smile, and they set to work. Fluttershy started digging into the snow, patting it into a ball. She started rolling it until it was up to the top of her legs. She grunted as she tried to push it further. A flash appeared beside her.
"Allow me," said Discord, and Fluttershy let go. Discord shoved the snowball with barely any effort, and set it in the middle of the yard. "Hmm... This doesn't look like a snowpony body!"
"Oh, um, that was just the way I was taught to make it," said Fluttershy, her muzzle reddening.
"Alright, I can fix this," Discord snapped his talons, and the perfect shape of a pony (except with little bumps of snow) appeared. "Voila!"
"Discord, that's amazing!" exclaimed Fluttershy, raising her hoof to her face. "Now, let's make the head." She gathered more snow, and rolled a smaller ball, that Fluttershy was able to push. She rolled it to the snowpony, and set it on the head.
"I'll make the ears," said Discord, grabbing snow himself, and it magically formed into two pony-like ears. Fluttershy grabbed the same amout of snow, and formed a muzzle, which looked surprisingly realistic. She set it on the snowpony. The ears flashed on top of the snowpony.
"This looks amazing!" exclaimed Fluttershy. "Now all we need are the eyes."
"And while you find some, I will make a mane and tail," said Discord.
"A mane and tail?" Fluttershy tilted her head in confusion.
"Pfft, well, of course! This pony can't be bald!" said Discord, shaking his head. "Go on." Fluttershy decided not to push it further, and went by her house where a patch of rocks lay. The snow crunched under her hooves as she lifted two, perfect rocks up. She tucked them behind her wings. When she got back to Discord, he had a mane and tail on the pony. Fluttershy gawked as she realized it looked familiar.
"It looks like me," said Fluttershy. Discord gave a small chuckle.
"Well, it's not as beautiful as the original," said Discord. Fluttershy blushed, causing Discord to chuckle again. "Here, let me help you with the eyes." He lifted her up by the hips, making her turn redder. Fluttershy put one eye on, and as she put the other on, Discord's paw went on top of her hoof. "We have to line it perfectly." He guided her hoof if she went a bit off, until they finally set it down. "For a final touch." He snapped his talons, and two balls of snow formed into pegasus wings. Discord set it on the snowpony, and it was complete.
"What should we name her?" asked Fluttershy.
"Fluttersnow," said Discord. Fluttershy smiled.
"That's a perfect name," said Fluttershy.
"And look," Discord snapped his talons, and Fluttersnow gave Fluttershy a small wave. Fluttershy giggled. Suddenly, a flash appeared in front of Discord. "A letter..." He opened it, and groaned.
"What is it?" asked Fluttershy.
"Princess Twilight wants me to set up a Yule Ball for the fifth day of Hearth's Warming," replied Discord, rolling his eyes. "So, sadly I won't be here tomorrow."
"Oh," said Fluttershy, forgetting to hide the disappointment in her voice. She looked down and away. Discord lifted her chin, smirking.
"It also says that I have to go to the ball," said Discord. "And so do you. I will dance with you if you want." Fluttershy smiled.
"That would be perfect," said Fluttershy. She shivered.
"Well, it's starting to get late. How about we have some dinner, shall we?" asked Discord, leading Fluttershy back to the cottage.
