//------------------------------// // Chapter 3 ; The big plan to find out the truth! // Story: A Forgotten Life // by PeriwinkleLove //------------------------------// Three days after It was noon in the town of Ponyville,it was,surprisingly,a quiet noon and no mischief or destruction was in progress in the small town. Until now; “Soo,anything new from Rainbow and Pinkie?”Rarity asks Twilight Speaking of mischief,Applejack,Rarity,Fluttershy and Twilight were at the castle of Friendship waiting for the other two to appear to go for their 'mission'. “No nothing,and they still didn’t told us about their great master plan of how to convince Discord to tell us his problem,” Twilight told. “Well we’ll find out soon,here they’re comin,” Applejack said. Then Rainbow and Pinkie entered the throne room where the others were,Pinkie was bouncing around and smiled with amusement. “Hello everypony ready to go?” Pinkie curiously said still bouncing around. “I am ready,so yesterday he told me that he was going to pick up some mushrooms from The Everfree Forest,so we head there,”Fluttershy informs them. “So we head to The forest and look for him,meh,won’t be too hard we just go to the area that mushrooms grow!”Twilight says. “Ok time to go,Pinkie Rainbow,what is your plan,can you finally tell us?”Fluttershy asked them again. “Can you stop asking us you will find out today alright?”Rainbow said annoyed. “Fine then let’s go,” Pinkie suggested and she bounced again. Then they all went outside the castle,walking through the town and then followed the path to one of the most scariest places in Equestria;The Everfree Forest. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At The Everfree Forest Through their walk to the forest,there were various wines,small but dangerous animals passed regularly,the forest was only getting darker as they approached,though it was daytime and the sun was up in the sky,the self-moving clouds were blocking the sunlight. As they were walking,Rainbow nodded them to stop,they were in their destination. “Alright everypony,our plan is this;remember when AJ wasn’t telling us why she wasn’t returning to Ponyville and we had to convince her to tell us?” Rainbow said. “Yes,” Twilight answered. “But why does this matter now?”Applejack asked. “Oh AJ you know where I am going this with!”Rainbow answered and then looked at Pinkie Pie with a devilish smile. “Ready Pinkie?” She asked. “Yes,ready,but I need a basket to be more realistic!” Pinkie requested. “Here,” She gave her a basket that she hid in a tree two days ago. The girls then understood what was going on. “Oh no,”Rarity said. ”Oh no you don’t!”Fluttershy then started to worry. “Oh come on!We are not animals!”Twilight protested. “That’s too harsh even for Discord!No one deserves this!”Applejack continued. “It’s the only way!And you know it!”Rainbow defended. “Either this or nothing!” Pinkie agreed with Rainbow. “It just feels wrong,”Fluttershy disagreed back. “This will be terrible,no one can stand when Pinkie talks.It will be a torture for him!”Rarity protested with the others. “Please maybe there is another way,he doesn’t deserves this!”Fluttershy hoped to change what was lying ahead for her friend. “Too late now!Pinkie GO” Rainbow then pushed her towards where Discord was picking some mushrooms and Pinkie got closer to him. “Are you sure it’s a good idea?” Twilight whispered to Rainbow while all five were hiding in a bush. “Trust me,no one can resist!”Rainbow answered. Pinkie got closer and then while he was picking mushrooms he heard; “Hi Discord!” “Huh?” He then turned around to see Pinkie Pie standing in front of him. “Hey Pinkie,what are you doing here?” Discord asked her. “Ohh I was just going to pick up some mushrooms and then I saw you,and then I started to walk towards you to say Hi!And then you turned to see me,and then you asked me what I was doing here and now I am telling you the reason,soooo how’s it going?”Pinkie blurted really fast. “Emh everything’s fine I guess”Discord answered then thought of something. ”Waaaaiiiiit”He paused”Pinkie are you trying to prank me or something?Because I can tell when someone wants something from me!”He asked her. “Whaaat!No I mean no!We are not planning anything,really!”She answered and then realised that she had said something stupid. “Who ‘we’ Pinkie?”Discord eyed her with a suspicious look. “Emh,did I said that?No I meant only me and no one else!” She put her hoof to her chest while saying it. “Then promise not to ask any questions?I am really not in the mood for answering weird questions!”He said with exhaustions in his eyes. “Promise!” She said and then they both started to pick some mushrooms. “Ever had pancakes with chocolate cookies with vanilloberry?”She casually asked”Oops sorry that was a question,”She said with a nervous smile. “Those types of questions are fine,Pinkie” He then paused”No I never had pancakes with chocolate cookies and vanilloberry”He answered her with a normal look at his face. “Well natural!” She then appeared just in front of him”You know that Maud has moved near Ponyville?Well she and I invented this kind of pancakes with chocolate cookies and vanilloberry!”She continued”You see vanilloberry is vanilla,strawberries and berries all in one mix!How crazy is that?”She asked and then continued without taking his answer. “But of course there are other crazy things like,this one time I made other Pinkies and no one knew that I was the real one!Yeah those are some crazy experience that I have!I have even more!”Discord then started to walk towards another field with mushrooms trying to ignore her,but she was just behind him. “You see I still don’t know how to call this new mix,for now I am with vallinoberry but that only says the vanilla and berries!Strawberries will feel pretty sad for not mentioning them,and others may think what a weird name because it doesn’t include the strawberries,but that’s the only name that I got in my mind!" 'It's a weird name anyways!'He thought to himself. She then again,appeared in front of him,he turned to another direction but was eventually followed by her. ”Hey what about Strawvanniloberries!Huh or vallinoberry?What do you think,what you think?” Discord was starting to get a headache from Pinkie's big words and was really annoyed by her presence. ”Heyyyy you know those two are fun words and I like fun words like cucumber!Cucumber,Cucumber,Cucumber!” She hoped while saying this word and Discord was very pissed but decided to not show it, but he couldn’t hold it. “Hey I have another words like pua pua!Funny right!” She then was in front of him he lowered to look at her with an uneasy look. ”Come on say it with me;Cucumber,pua pua,Cucumber,pua pua,Cucumber,pua pua,” She continued saying those words while getting closer to him,his back was touching a tree and he continued to be annoyed with her big,annoying words still looking uneasy. ”It feels wrong,”Twilight whispered while she and the others were watching everything. “Because IT IS really wrong!” Fluttershy said to the others. “This is so hilarious!Discord will have a breakdown soon or after.It’s going to be priceless!”Rainbow exclaimed laughing quietly while also eating popcorn that Twilight appeared with her magic for everyone. “You’re laughing at this?!Even Discord isn’t now that heartless!”Applejack said. “Weeeeell it is really funny actually,a little maybe,”Rarity told her. “I can’t believe y’all” Applejack said with disbelief. “Oh you better do!Look he is about to crack!”Rainbow said while watching how Discord was rolling his eyes like he was holding a feel of pain when you crash your toe on the side of the table. “Step aside I want to see!” Applejack demanded while watching too. He really couldn’t take this anymore,he wanted to just close her mouth with a zipper and listen to silence,but,as much as he wanted to, he felt guilt because she is his friend and didn’t want to treat her like that,that was the only thing that kept him from doing this. The only thing. “Woooow!He is really tough,most would already spill it but he.He doesn’t!Well you have to admire his deception,”Rainbow admitted. “Yes whatever it is he will not tell it easily!”Fluttershy said. “Wow,most would have probably already begged for her to stop,but he!He is doing nothing!”Twilight said in awe. “Yes,now I think this technique might be a bit useless,”Rarity failed to smile. “Maybe we should just give up,”Applejack suggested “He is a really tough guy,he won't spill anything,not even a clue,heck even I wouldn’t take this if I was in his place,I would have probably freaked out from the first moments!”Applejack whispered. “Hey I never told you how close I am with Maud you know!” Pinkie paused for a little and then continued “You see me and Maud are sisters and she is totally like an older sister to me.Well we actually are sisters but you know what I mean!Ever had the feeling of someone that you can always have your back?Well those for me are my family and my friends!You get what I mean?You know I just love my sisters and family and friends and pretty much always anyone!” Discord was deep in thought he wasn’t hearing at Pinkie’s voice anymore,when she said those words he started to frown,to feel sadness across his face,real sadness but also annoyance by Pinkie’s still continuing tongue. The other five noticed it,they couldn’t stand to see those eyes without a bit of joy in them,it was alien to them. “You know me and my sisters are close even if I am the odd one you know what I mean right Discord?” She asked and looked at him and she saw his confused look. “Pinkie enough,we’ll handle it,”Twilight said. “Oh finally!”,He said with relief. “Sweet,sweet silence!I never missed you so much!” He said with joy. “Wait...Discord aren’t you curious why they-” Pinkie was stopped by Discord’s paw. “Please,please I beg you just stop talking for a minute please!”He then freed her mouth but she didn’t speak,heavens she finally stopped after all,he enjoyed a few seconds of silence after he turned to talk to the others. “Now that I finally enjoyed some peace and quiet!”He said. “Mind telling me what were you doing here?”He asked them. “First things first,I bet my whole house that if he is ever captured by any enemy he won’t say a clue no matter how much they torture him,good old stubbornness that you have there!”Rainbow said. “Emm,thanks?” Discord replied confused. “Now back to the point,”He continued “What were you doing here?And why you were spying on us,and don’t say that you weren’t spying I saw you all,”Discord told them. “Damn it!He saw us!” Rainbow said. “AHA!So you were spying” He said ”I knew it!”He continued ”Classic trick;if you want someone to tell you the truth,just pretend that you know it!”He ended. “Hey!That was sneaky!”Rainbow said while pointing a hoof at him. “Oh hush!You should have seen that coming,now back to my question...well?”Discord asked. “Emmm we were emm,”Twilight tried to answer. “It’s a surprise!”Pinkie answered. “Surprise?”Discord said confused. “Yes,a surprise!”Fluttershy,also confused,insisted too. “Who are you trying to fool girls,huh?Me or the tree behind me?I am not any ammature.Well start talking,”He demanded with an unamused look. “Oh FINE!Discord what’s wrong with you?!Me and the others start to get really PISSED about it,I don’t know what it is but you’ll tell us want it or not!”Fluttershy answered. “Yeah and we know when you lie so SPILL IT OUT-ALREADY!”Dash demanded. “Pft.You won't stop trying f I don’t tell you right?”He said,annoyed by his friends stubbornness. “Yes,so tell us or else we will take it with the hard way!”Twilight said determined. “I better show you,” He said emotionless and then; «SNAP»
