//------------------------------// // Wasted time // Story: Harmonizing Of Fluttering Chaos // by TuniPeace //------------------------------// Chapter 5: Wasted time Twilight Sparkle leaned forward to Fluttershy. She laid her purple hoof on top of her friends yellow hoof. Fluttershy’s face was being covered with her long, pink hair. But Twilight could almost feel the tears drop from the little Pegasus face. “This is what I meant the other day, Fluttershy...” Twilight sighed. “Do you want to go outside and talk about this?” Fluttershy lifted her head, wiping away the heavy tears from her face. Her eyes were red and watery, almost closed. But she regained her composure and cleared her throat. “Alright, my dear little ponies!” Discord said loudly. “Lunch is served.” The draconequus bowed. “No, it is alright Twilight... I’m going to spend as much time with him as I can before... Before Hearts and Hooves day.” “Alright then.” Twilight whispered. The two ponies went over to the table where Discord seated them. Fluttershy lifted her head once at the table and looked adoringly at her friend Discord. She smiled and sighed quietly. Twilight Sparkle looked and her gentle, lovestruck friend with a soft smile. “Wow Discord... I did not know you were such a good cook.” Twilight Sparkle said cheerfully. “Well I have cooked before... That same night that Fluttershy became my friend, I helped to cook that dinner.” Discord seated himself next to Fluttershy. Fluttershy slightly turned her head away from him, gulping and breathing fast through her nose. Twilight rolled her eyes. “Well that dinner was a joke and-” “Discord is good at so many things, Twilight... Just like I was telling you... He can do any... thing... And... he can be with... Um... Well... Look at this lunch.” Fluttershy said to Twilight Sparkle, lifting her head. Then the pegasus looked up at Discord and smiled gently. The three friends started eating the finely made lunch. After dinner time past, Discord and Fluttershy had a desert of Twilight Sparkle going over and over the likes and dislikes of Princess Celestia. Discord and Fluttershy leaned on each other, sitting on the floor. Both of them tired, but willing to listen to Twilight’s lessons. Fluttershy looked over at Discords lap. He was actually writing notes and underlining special points. The yellow pony smiled at her eager friend softly. She then looked down and away. “So in conclusion Discord, Celestia might like a lot of cake, but try to offer her something other than that, even if it is another sweet or even a sweet fruit” Twilight lectured. “Hmm... Like a banana?” Discord replied. “Why yes... She Likes banana’s! That was going to be lesson 2, point 2, section 3, on topic of Date foods. How did you know?” Asked Twilight. Discord sighed and rolled his eyes. ‘Well Miss Sparkle, I might not know everything that the fairest creature likes. But I do remember some... Don’t you remember all of the lovely banana trees in Princess Celestia’s garden?” Twilight darted her eyes around. She then used her magic to read a book, trying to search for a reference of the palace garden. “I turned them into Banana Slugs.” Answered the draconequus.. Twilight Sparkle dropped her book and both ponies looked at Discord wide eyed. “You should have seen it!” Discord laughed. “The slugs somehow got into her bed chambers. I was hiding behind a boulder. That is when the palace and canterlot was first being built and it was young. We were both young...” Discord looked down and away. Twilight and Fluttershy looked at him sympathetically. Fluttershy rubbing her hoof on his long back and neck. “I... I wasted so much time... She’s never going to give me the light of day... And she literally holds it... Along with my heart.” “Discord, it’s going to be all right... I promise...” Fluttershy assured. “Yes! I have been around Princess Celestia for a very long time. I don’t quite know your History with her fully. But I know that she is a very loving and open pony. She will at least go on a date with you.” “You... you think so?” The unsure draconequus asked quietly. “Yes... Or my name is not Twilight Sparkle.” Suddenly Spike came running through the cottage door. He held his stomach and belched eight message scrolls. Twilight went over to the messages and looked through them with her magic. She was surprised to see that there was one for Discord. “Discord... Celestia sent you a letter also.” Twilight said to him. Within a cold sweat, the former lord of chaos reached for the letter and opened it slowly. Twilight, Spike and Fluttershy looked at him eager to hear what Celestia would possibly say to him. Discord dropped the letter and looked forward. His eyes were wide and mouth slightly open. He arose from the ground and went over to a nearby window, with his back turned to the rooms occupants. Fluttershy, Twilight and Spike crowded around the letter. “My dearest and only Draconequus friend, Even though my schedule prohibits me from having much or if any at all free time to go on a private outing with you; I have however used my powers that be to arrange a special night for Very Special Ponies . I will also be inviting One baby dragon, six little ponies that you may be familiar with, and a very special reformed Draconequus, to an evening of dining and togetherness on Hearts and Hooves Night. Since I'm without escort I was hoping you could fill that position. Princesses Orders. Your Awaiting Hearts and Hooves partner, Princess Celestia Of Canterlot. Fluttershy, Twilight and Spike Look at one another. TO BE CONTINUED!!!
