//------------------------------// // Chapter 19 Rarity's and Fluttershy's visit part 1 // Story: Showy Chaos // by HeartfireFirebrand //------------------------------// I smiled as I tended to my animals. I have honesty been hoping to visit Discord, things have been quite messy around here since Trixie turned up not. Oh not to say I have anything against Trixie but things have gotten more complicated. I heard a knock on my door, I smiled “Hi Rarity.” Rarity smiled back “Hi Fluttershy, I was hoping to see Trixie and since Discord is inconvenienced, you may want to see him.” I smiled “It just feels like so long even though it hasn’t been more than a week.” Rarity frowned “Just remember you don’t want to get to touchy feely with him, Trixie has a place in his heart now.” I nodded with a smile and we trotted towards the entrance to his dimension in the Everfree. We entered and trotted over to his home, Rarity knocked on the door. I cowered as I saw a huge mare open the door, the mare smiled “Hi Rarity.” Rarity replied as she gave her a light hug “Hi Trixie.” I gasped Trixie was really large, I trembled in front of her. Trixie smiled “Don’t be scared I won’t hurt you.” I hid behind Rarity as Trixie approached. Rarity sighed “Maybe we should let Fluttershy go in on her own, she’ll find her way around.” Trixie smiled “I have an idea, a new spell I’ve been practising for the duel, but it still isn’t quite perfected yet.” I watched as horn glowed and a small copy of her old self stood there in front of me. Trixie said “I can hear anything you say through this copy and take control of it if you need me there.” I waited until Rarity and Trixie left before following the doppelganger Trixie made. I followed it up to a room that a medical sign on it. I opened to see Discord lying on the bed. Discord smiled “It's good to see you Fluttershy.” I asked “What happened to you, why are you like this?” Discord smiled “Love happened, something I had always thought to be impossible. I had found something worth more than power, somepony who understands me who can see me from where I stand even in my darkest days.” I asked “Are you still going to visit me?” Discord frowned “Of course I will, you were my first friend. You gave me a chance and I have betrayed that trust twice now, yet you still came. You are my closest friend” I felt my eyes watering “Thank you Discord.” Discord gave me a light hug “Your welcome my friend but we will have to set up some boundaries, I may if I’m lucky be a married Draconequus at some point” he smiled “I never thought I’d say that.” I smiled “Neither did I, I’m sorry about Twilight.” Discord frowned “Twilight?” I sighed “They are going to have a magic duel in Ponyville.” Discord said “She didn’t tell me about it.” I smiled “Trixie will be fine.” Discord shook his head “I have no doubt about that, I’m worried about Twilight actually. Trixie is very powerful now as she has my power but has had very little time to practise, she may hurt Twilight in this duel.” I gasped “We gotta tell Twilight, she’s going to get hurt.” Discord sighed “That would be a problem, Twilight can be a determined individual and I have no doubt Rarity probably tried to stop her before judging by how she and Trixie have been interacting lately. All we can do is wait and hope Twilight will back down.” I cried “But what if Twilight get killed!” Discord frowned “I trust Rarity will stop it before it got that far, I can feel the darkness oozing out of her, she has quite a bit of power.” I gasped I didn’t know she had that much power. Discord smiled “Don’t worry she won’t hurt anypony, she is in control.” I smiled “Thank you Discord.” I watched as Rarity entered the room, she said “I’m going back home, I have a lot to do.” I nodded “I need get back to my animals, Angel Bunny in particular.” Rarity frowned as the pair of us returned to Ponyville.
