//------------------------------// // On the 18th day of christmas, // Story: Happy hearths warming! // by Featherclaw //------------------------------// Pyry was watching her brother perform as Discord from the ice floor. The floor acted like a gigantic television, which was a fun perk her castle did. She just had to tap the floor twice, then say "Show me Discord." Or any other name you would like to see. The screen would then show you the desired pony you are looking for. Now with this, you have to say the names, not their appearance. Pyry would have to say Eryi, instead of Discord. Speaking of, she watched "Discord" lay down with Fluttershy, and waited until she was asleep. He then tapped his fingers twice onto the ground, and then transformed into his snowdigo self. She watched him fly away, over to the ice palace, and also watched the real Discord sleep with Fluttershy. She heard the pounding of hooves on the ice door, and she glided over to it and opened it for him. "Excellent work, Eryi. Now there was a few hiccups, but I think Fluttershy here, thought it was normal." Eryi still had trouble remembering that his big sister had the big screen on the floor, and that she could see anypony she wanted too. "Yes. She did my queen." Eryi cringed at the word. "My plan for those two to separate, could be where the chimera, would go out with the princess." Pyry liked her little brother's thinking. She was going more to the separate them forever! move, but his approach, made it seem more wicked, and cold. She liked cold. "Nice work of jealousy Eryi. This plan should work. Thank you." What the heck?! She took my idea! She said thank you! Wow, maybe she is changing for the better. Nah, she will more than likely involve more consequences later on. That's probably why she is so nice. As Eryi trotted away, Pyry stomped on the icy ground twice, and said: "Show me Celestia!" She then got a living image of the pitch perfect princess. She was raising the sun right now, but almost wasn't able too because of the blizzard. She noticed that she was being helped by her sister. I didn't think the blizzard would handicap the princesses! Pyry realized. She tapped the floor twice again and said: "Show me Discord." This time. She took both the living images, and compared the two. She noted that DIscord had eternal life, and so did Celestia. They both were complete opposites, just like Fluttershy. They also both have powers. {Perfect match. Pyry thought. She just had to trap them both, and maybe control Celestia for the sun. Nah, Luna can do it. By the time Fluttershy woke up at the fire place, Discord had left her, without a fire. She was shivering, and she looked around desperately to find him. She got up and went upstairs, and she gasped as she saw Discord writing what appeared to be love letters! For a moment she was overjoyed, but was quickly saddened as she realized they were not directed to her. Heck, Discord didn't even acknowledge her presence. She watched, with tears in her eyes, as he sealed the letters with the all famous canterlot seal. Also known as the princesses' seal. When she saw the last love letter finished, she quickly flew up to the bed, and she cried. "Why?!" "Why, Fluttershy? I'll tell you why! Celestia here, is a much better pony than you! She is as old as me, she is practically as powerful as me, and she will live forever, like me." Discord swished his tail in pure pride, that he has won the heart of the princess. He could fulfill his dreams of pleasing his older sister. By acting, which was his specialty. He then thought of a brilliant idea, it made him cringe a little, but he did it in the name of the queen, Pyry! He then exaggerated, the act he was about to do. Fluttershy saw Discord kiss each love letter one, by, one. "Muah!" One. Fluttershy watched sickly as he did this. "Muah!" Two. She really hoped this was a nightmare. "Muah!" Three. Three times the charm? No? "Muah!" Four. Fluttershy's face started to break. "Muah!" Five. Why did he have to cheat on her?! "Muah!" Six. She couldn't believe that Discord would do this... "Muah!" Seven. How could he do this if he got her a ring and everything?! "Muah!" Eight. "What about all the things we did to-" "Muah!" Nine. "gether..." Fluttershy's voice broke as well. "Muah!" Ten. "I, I cant believe it..." "Muah!" Eleven. "You would cheat on me..." "Muah!" Twelve. "And I cant do anything about it..." "Muah!" Thirteen. Fluttershy sobs. "Muah!" Fourteen. She cried and cried. "Muah!" Fifteen. She cried her heart out. "Muah!" Sixteen. She sniffed, and whimpered. "Muah!" Seventeen. But that didn't make a difference. "Muah!" Eighteen. Because he was already done. "Eighteen.. December eighteenth.. Eighteen love letters..." Fluttershy sighed, closing her sticky eyes. "I guess you love her that much, that you rub it In my FACE!" Fluttershy turned her head to look at him as she opened her eyes, but was shocked to find him waving at her, and flying out the window, holding the cards. She couldn't help but stare. She was so exhausted... She lowered her head, and she didn't see the purple unicorn stare at her in the face... "Oh my Celestia..." On the 18th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, 18 cheatful love letters, 17 notepad pages, 16 winter snowflakes, 15 snowdigos, 14, sorrow, filled tears, 13 flutter dreams, 12 muffins a making, 11 mittens, 10 signs of symptoms, 9 hooves of snow, 8 lookout ponies, 7 snowmare figures, 6 games, ponies play, 5, carrot cake cookies, 4 heating blankets, 3 windigos, 2 Hershey's kisses, and a great big breakfast buffet...
