After much arguing and pleading, the girls went out to a local night club to see if maybe dancing would lift Sonatas spirits.
They all got dressed up in club attire like mini skirts and crop tops but even that did nothing to lift the girls mood.
Their boyfriends were a bit jealous that they would be spending time away from them but they understood that this was all for Sonata.
Flufflepuff, Chrysalis, Mane-iac and the dazzlings had no trouble getting into the club seeing as they were pretty well known from their band.
The bouncer even asked them for their autographs and a group photo.
They were all old enough to purchase alcohol legally seeing as they were all well over 21.
Everyone but Sonata quickly walked over to the dance floor and began dancing. Sonata just stood there, staring at the floor.
"Come on Sonata, I'll buy you a drink." Said Mane-iac as she dragged a moping Sonata to the bar after seeing how she wasn't dancing.
They quickly got to the bar and the bartender walked over to them.
"What'll it be?" He asked both women. He had on sunglasses even though it was pretty dark in the club.
"A scotch on the rocks for me. And something to help with her broken heart." She gestured to a sad faced Sonata.
He quickly got Mane-iac her drink and turned to talk to Sonata. He gave her a long look before speaking again.
"Hey, I remember you. You came in with that gray skinned guy and your friends and all bought an instrument when I still worked and lived in Manehattan. And now you're famous and here. What a small world we live in. Why is a beautiful woman like you so heart broken?" He asked Sonata, his facial expression hard to read under his glasses.
"Well...." Before Sonata could give a proper response without revealing too much, Mane-iac cut her off.
"She fell in love with the aforementioned gray skinned guy who is named Discord by the way and he didn't return her feelings. Now he's married with a kid and she has yet to move on." She said quickly and gulped half her drink in one sip.
The bartender put his hands on top of hers. "Look, I don't know much about you but I do know that you look like you could use some advice. Not long ago I was partners with this amazing girl. She didn't talk much but we were an amazing DJ duo. Vinyl Scratch and Neon Lights. We weren't as famous as the elements of Chaos but we didn't care about came. We only cared about having fun. It all came to a halt when she got a girlfriend, her name is Octavia. At first it didn't bother me but when I realized I had feelings for her I knew I had to end the small gigs. We broke up as a duo and I never saw her again. I admit that I occasionally view her social media to see how she is doing and it kills me to know how happy she is with someone else but at the same time I'm happy she's happy. I know what you had with Discord must have been special but it clearly wasn't what he wanted so you need to let him go." Said Neon Lights as he clasped her hands in his.
Sonata was taken aback at first but she calmed down and they got to talking. By the end of the night she got his number and felt for the first time in forever that she was going to be ok.
The next day Around 3 PM
Fluttershy and Discord were in their living room with Twilight discussing their problem.
"According to my research on the human body." Began Twilight as she used Discord's old laptop to bring up a power point. "Fluttershy has an 80% chance of dying if she goes through with this pregnancy." She looked grim.
"Is it too late to get an abortion?" Asked Discord with a sad look in his eyes.
"Discord!" Snapped Fluttershy looking horrified by his choice of words. "How dare you consider getting an abortion! This is our baby!" She held her stomach defensively as if he had hurt her.
Twilight spoke up. "I'm sorry Fluttershy but I'm going to have to agree with Discord on this one." She looked upset. "If you go through with the pregnancy and die your baby will die too. It could also die because your body is becoming weak from not producing enough blood. It doesn't help that you don't eat meat. You're not getting enough iron." She kept listing why it was a bad idea.
Fluttershy got upset with her friend and husband.
"Why are you so against this Twilight? I thought you would be happy for me?" Her bottom lip was quivering and her eyes watered. "Why do you want this baby dead?"
Twilight groaned in frustration. "I already told you. This baby is more than likely going to cost you your life."
Fluttershy was now starting to feel the warm tears slide down her face. "I would rather die for this baby than not have it live at all." She cried.
Discord put a hand on her shoulder. "But my dear we can make another one when we're actually ready to be parents." He tried to tell her but she wasn't having it.
"You're both against me!" She wailed as the neighbor banged on the wall and told them to keep it down. Fluttershy got up, grabbed a jacket from the coat rack by the door and walked out the door. She slammed the door behind her.
"Wait, Fluttershy back!" Twilight Sparkle yelled after her upset friend as she got up to go after her.
Discord held her back. "Let her go. She's probably going to the park to talk to her animal friends." He tried to convince her.
"She's crying and heavily pregnant. Someone could take advantage of her!" Twilight yelled.
Discord looked at his phone time and saw his notifications. He decided to check those later. "I have to get to work in 20 minutes." he tossed a set of keys to Twilight. "These are the house keys. We only have one set. You can go after her and I will only lock the bottom lock when I go out." He told Twilight as he went into the shared bedroom to change into his work clothes.
Twilight nodded and set out to find her upset friend.
