//------------------------------// // Chapter Eight: The Date? Pt.2 // Story: Is He A Monster? // by Redrose99875 //------------------------------// Fluttershy gasped, they were in a beautiful field, much like the one where they had picnics, except there was one thing "A,....a-a PETTING ZOO?!!" she asked her eyes starrily gazing, "Surprise!!! I knew you like animals, so I thought why not?" "Discord this is so thoughtful," she said giving him an embrace, she nuzzled her head into his chest for a while. Although he returned the hug, Discord was glad Fluttershy couldn't see him blush, if she did, he swore he would die of embarrassment when she finally let go she flew gracefully over to the pens first, she saw a little baby doe "OH MY GOODNESS" she exclaimed, walking over to the little deer, who immediately started licking her cheeks, while Fluttershy giggled. Discord watched, feeling happy inside, that smile of hers, how it enchanted him so, along with everything else about her, her soft voice, her passions, her eyes, her mane, and tail, her coat, her kindness, her bond with animals, her shyness, even her STARE was adorable, everything about her was just,...........perfect. Suddenly he heard something that made his ears perk up, it sounded like,....... a melody. "Watch all the flowers Dance with the wind Listen to snowflakes Whisper your name Feel all the wonder Lifting your dreams You can fly" Discord looked for the source of the ethereal sound, and he found it was coming from,...........Fluttershy, she was looking at the animals while doing this Fly to who you are Climb upon your star, When you believe You'll find your wings Fly to your heart She looked up and saw a rainbow(Although this wasn't Discord's doing) Touch every rainbow Painting the sky Look at the magic Glide through your life. A sprinkle of pixie dust Circles the night You can fly she started trotting to a large nearby hill with the animals trailing behind her, Discord watching, followed, she then stopped at a tree, Discord stopped at one behind, but he got splinters in his thumbs and feet. Fly to who you are Climb upon your star When you believe You'll find your wings Fly. Fluttershy had started trotting closer towards the hill, Discord continued to follow, this time, by hovering, Everywhere you go Your soul will find a home You'll be free To spread your wings Fly, you can fly to your heart" (Fly, Fly) Fluttershy was close to the top, her wings started to flap as she slowly floated into the air, her voice echoing around her "Rise to the heights Of all you can be" (Fly, Fly) she was slowly twirling "Soar on the hope Of marvelous things!" she had started to make her twirls a bit faster, and she also did some graceful dives "Fly to who you are Climb upon your star When you believe You'll find your wings Fly" she got back on her hoofs and ran, she had reached the top "Everywhere you go Your soul will find a home" She started racing towards the edge "You'll be free to spread your wings!" She jumped off the edge with no hesitation, her eyes closed, she was smiling as well, Discord was starting to panic, he tried to snap his fingers to make a pillow appear, but due to the splinters he had, he couldn't and the effort rather hurt, he tried to run so he could catch her, but the effort to do that rather hurt too, and his wings were tired, he braced himself for sound of the crash. "FLY!!! Fluttershy was flying up gracefully while doing flips, dives, and soars that would have impressed Rainbow, AND the Wonderbolts. Discord looked at the flying pegasus, his jaw dropped and his irises shrank in amazement. "you can FLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to your heart" Fluttershy slowly flew back to the petting zoo Discord set up, sat down on the grass, and closed her eyes in relaxation, suddenly Fluttershy heard cheering, she turned around and saw Discord applauding, whooping, and whistling Then, for the first time in her life, and wasn't scared, she actually smiled, however, she was startled when Discord appeared next to her "My DEAR!!!, that was MAGNIFICENT!!!!!!" he said picking her up by the waist so she would look him in the eyes Fluttershy blushed at the contact "Thank you, but,.....I wasn't that good" Discord nearly dropped her from shock "DEAREST, I did not just hear you say that, it's the most beautiful sound I ever heard!!!" he said sternly Fluttershy felt a deep warmth in her heart, Discord was the one who was saying this, and for some reason,.... she didn't mind "Thank you" she whispered, suddenly she heard a grumbling noise, she thought it was a bear, it turned out to be her stomach, she blushed, Discord didn't seem to mind, he then asked "Hungry?" she nodded, then she saw the thorns in him, once she removed them, Discord thanked her.With a snap of his fingers they were next to an enormous mountain, he held out his right arm "Care for a bit of a stroll first?" Fluttershy took his paw and walked with him up the mountain "Why are we going up the mountain?" "You'll see" Fluttershy nearly tripped over a rock, but luckily, Discord caught her by wrapping his paw and claw around her waist, although this made him go a deep crimson, Fluttershy turned just as red, Discord quickly put her on the other side of the rock and let go, they kept walking. they got to the top, the sun was setting, Fluttershy sighed at the beautiful sight "Close your eyes" "Why?" "Please, I don't want to ruin the Surprise," he said with a smirk Fluttershy did as what she was told, Disord gently took her hooves in his claw and paw and lead her up closer "Alright, you can look,.....now" Fluttershy opened her eyes and saw a dark blue sky, it was filled with too many stars to count "Oh my,.......Discord,.....this is,.........gorgeous" she sighed looking all around her "Yes, maybe we should send Lulu a card with compliments" "You,......you mean Luna?" "Meh, I prefer to call her Lulu," he said with a bored look "DISCORD, she's a princess" "Whatever, I'm still calling her Lulu" she giggled, Discord was such a rascal, but.......he took her to see all this,.......he was so kind and caring, and sweet. "Shall we sit?" he said gesturing to a table and two chairs that Fluttershy had not noticed, she nodded as she walked over to her seat, Discord pulled it out for her, when she was seated, he pushed the chair in, while he seated himself in his own, with a snap of his fingers, a salad and a glass of apple juice appeared on Fluttershy's plate, while Discord summoned some cotton candy and a glass of chocolate milk for himself. Soon they finished, Discord reluctantly snappped his fingers and teleported themselves to Fluttershy's cottage, he had just said goodbye "Discord?" Fluttershy asked while Discord was about to snap his fingers "Yes, Fluttershy?" "Thank you for tonight, you were so kind, caring, considerate, and sweet,.....I.......I want to give you something" she blushed as she said the last part "What is it?" Discord asked "Close your eyes," she said Discord complied, he then felt something soft and slightly wet on his cheek, he opened his eyes in shock, Fluttershy pulled away, "Tonight was amazing, thank you, goodnight" she said before going into her cottage Discord put a paw to the place she kissed him, he felt fireworks erupt around him "I'm never washing this cheek again" he sighed dreamily in the bushes, the mares giggled except for rainbow, "You lost Dashie, time to pay up!" Pinkie whispered "I LOST?! HOW?" rainbow yelled in a whipser "And also,...BLECH" she retched "Well still, we told you he wouldn't resist her in her dress" Rarity slightly bragged "And we told you that Fluttershy WOULD give him a kiss of some sort" added Twilight smiling smugly "Soooooooo,....PAY UP" said Pinke still holding out her hoof "I hate you guys," groaned Rainbow, hoofing over the bits.
