Lyra walked among the town with thoughts racing through her mind as the pouring rain hit her and dripped down her whole body. She thought about what Discord said to her when she babysat him. If she were to marry BonBon, her lifetime love, she would ;lose the trust of BonBon's family. But she wpould be forced to live her life alone if she were to forget about this whole marriage. She couldn't let that happen. She loved BonBon with all her heart.
Meanwhile, Discord shivered as he walked with his blanket wrapped around his body. His stuffed bear was in his arms and was drenched with the rain water. As much as me missed his caretakers, he couldn't go back to them and let them win. Canterlot was waiting for him. It was, until he came across a familiar face.
"Discord, why are you out here all alone?" Lyra said as she hugged Discord. He told her all about what happened and how he ran away from them forever. "Come home with me, Discord, you can stay with me until you decide to go home. Is that okay with you?" She said softly to the poor shivering draconequus. He nodded in reply and the two of them set out to Lyra's house.
Discord has been to Lyra's house countless times. Inside, Lyra had pictures hanging from the walls of her and BonBon and some of Discord and her. Discord lied down on the couch and started to cry. Lyra wrapped him up in a few cozy blankets and cried with him. "Lyra, why are you crying?" Discord said as he hugged her tightly. "Like I said before, Discord, I am at a loss. I don't know if I can finally wed the one I love. I have known her forever and I love her," Lyra cried through tears. Discord stroked her mane. "I am gonna make some warm hot chocolate for the two of us." Lyra got up and trotted into the kitchen. Discord wrapped himself back up and shivered on the couch. The poor baby was freezing and soaked due to the rain. Lyra's house was warm though, so it was only a matter of time.
Lyra returned with steaming hot chocolate. Just what Discord needed; warmness and love. Lyra put the tray on her table as she lapped it up carefully. "I want hands..." Lyra said as she sat up. Discord giggled and hugged Lyra. "I love you, Lyra. You are so nice to me." Discord said choking back tears once again. "Discord, you can stay with me for the night," Lyra replied. Discord released the embrace and smiled. "Follow me, darling." She got up off the couch and walked to her room. "You can sleep next to me. Just don't get any ideas, okay?" Lyra said with a giggle. Discord brought his cup of cocoa along with him and after he had a small sip of it, he laughed.
Back at Fluttershy's place, the girls got back to the house with tears in their eyes. "We...we..." Fluttershy choked out. Applejack hugged her as Fluttershy let out a scream and a cry. Twilight stepped in the house behind and sighed. "Tomorrow, we will call around and see if they find him. Maybe he is safe with somepony else." Twilight said, reassuring Fluttershy. This was going to be a long night for the ponies. They were all heartbroken. What would Celestia say when she learns Discord ran away? It might mean instant death. This would break the girls' fragile hearts. There must be another way,
"Lets just go to bed. We'll find him in the morning." Rainbow Dash said as she let out a loud yawn. Rarity yawned as she watched Rainbow Dash. " I just hope he's okay, the poor baby." She said with pain in her elegant voice. The girls trotted to bed with hopes of finding Discord safe and sound tomorrow.
It was bedtime at Lyra's place, too. The hot cocoa was finished and placed in the sink. Lyra and Discord headed for the bed. The pair climbed into bed and covered themselves with the blanket. Lyra gave Discord a kiss on the head gently as the two went to bed. The rain still pounding hard on the windowsill, it calmed Discord as he dozed off and forgot all the pain he was feeling. Not once did he dream about his old caretakers.
