CH 2 "Trust part 1" The next morning, Fluttershy had a few ideas planned for Discord to help him make some new friends. He needs to learn what it means to be a friend, and the first thing he has to learn is trust. She trots up to his bedroom door giving it a couple of knocks. "Discord?....are you awake?" She calls, pressing her ear to the door, only to hear loud snoring in response. She knocks on the door again, calling out his name and continued to hear his loud snores. She let out a sigh and decided to open the door. Inside, she found him sleeping in his bed. On the ceiling. The room was in chaotic disarray. The walls were spinning, the floor was checkered, and the furniture was floating. Fluttershy shook her head trying to keep her eyes from spinning and flies up to Discord, who was wearing a pink night cap and gown. A sight which made her giggle silently. She gently nudges him on his arm. "Discord, it's time to get up, I have breakfast waiting downstairs" she gently says trying to persuade him with a hot meal. He let out a small groan turning to his side away from her. The timid pony let out a sigh flying to the other side of the bed. She nudges him again. "Discord, wake up, we have a long day ahead of us and you can't sleep in" she says putting her hooves to her sides. He opens one eye at her. "Really Fluttershy...." he said groggily, still half-asleep. "Must we do this today? I do need my beauty sleep" "Now, now I am fully committed to help you and part of that is getting you up in the morning" she smiles. He let out a yawn before sitting up. "What time is it?" he snaps his fingers making a alarm clock appear in his paw, answering his own question. "six o'clock!" he shouts, throwing the clock aside. "You must be joking my dear!" "But that's the time I usually get up to start my day" she flies across from him landing at the door. Discord floats down to the floor, his pajamas already gone. "Apple-buck, must be proud considering this is properly the time she gets up" Discord mutters rubbing his eyes trying to stay awake. He follows Fluttershy into her kitchen. He set himself down on a chair in front of the dining table. "Where is breakfast?" "Oh....I did'it make it" Fluttershy admits taking out a bag of feed. "We don't eat until the animals do" "What? you lied to me?......I not sure wether to congratulate you or to be slightly irritated" He replies,the pit in his stomach starting to feel empty. Fluttershy suddenly place the large bag of feed into his arms. Discord let out a breath of air finding it very heavy. How can a little filly like her carry this with ease? "What am I suppose to do....with this?" he said his voice straining. "Can you feed the birds for me? but only half of the bag, if you give them the whole thing they will have bad stomuch aches" "And why?...I'm-I-doing-this?" Fluttershy eyes lower at him, feeling the hurt of his words. The sight of her sadden eyes made him become had a feeling that he never had until the day he turns Applejack's lake into a ice rink. Guilty. "Oh...I'm sorry, I just thought with someone finally here to help me, I will have more time for myself" she let out a long sigh making Discord frown. "You know, Its not just the birds I have to take care of but, the squirrels, the bunnies, the mice, and even a bear. It usually takes me about three hours before i get to them all, and by that time I need to get started on lunch" Discord ears lower, letting out a sigh. "All right, I will help you" he said giving in. Fluttershy lite up giving him a smile as she pushes him towards the front door. "Oh! you will?...oh you are so sweet, the birdies are outside just place the feed on the grass and later give the pigs some slop, there's a bucket beside their pen and the squirrels needs acorns so pluck them from the trees, got it? okay, good luck! I really do appreciate it!" she slams the door behind him, making Discord to face a hoard of hungry birds perched in front of him, like vultures. His grip tighten as he slowly made his way to a patch of grass. He tilts the bag to drop half of the feed before it reach the ground, the birds were upon him. They attacked him in a swarm trying to get the bag and eat every single seed. "Get off me!" he yells, trying to swat them away. Their beaks peaking at his body as if they had a vendetta against him. He despretly dumped half of the seed and the birds quickly began to devour the food. Discord took the chance to run as far away as possible, away from the birds. He toss the bag aside against Fluttershy's cottage. "Now I understand why she needed help" he mutters to himself looking over his shoulder."Those things are relentless!" He made his way to the pig pen at the backyard. He put out his forked-tongue in disgust, seeing the three pigs lazily wallowing in the mud. He quickly located the bucket of slop which made him reel back, having the scent of rotten garbage. He snaps his fingers conjuring a clothes' pin, clipping it over his snout as he pours the slop into the food trough. The pigs press their faces into the slop with contentment. Discord threw the bucket over his shoulder, moving on. He pluck acorns and nuts from the trees giving them to the squirrels who waited below. He notice that some of the squirrels and critters had broken bones, either on their arms or legs. He strokes his beard in awe, knowing that Fluttershy must had mended their small and fragile bones. How could a pony do something so delicate with their hooves? He goes back inside the cottage to have the smell of pancakes hit his nose. He made his way to the kitchen to have a stack of flapjacks waiting for him. "Oh Discord, there you are" Fluttershy smiles, placing a bottle of syrup down on the table. "That took a while" "Well yes, I was doing all the things you wanted me to do" He replies with a frown. "Your animals are very hard to keep satisfied" "Well.....I thought you would use your powers" She said setting herself down on her seat. A slap rang through the kitchen, along with a red mark across Discord's forehead. "How could I forgotten?"he growls through his teeth. Fluttershy let out a giggle motioning him to sit down. "Well, I'm proud of you Discord.....and this is part of the lesson of trust" she starts. Discord blinks at her having his mouth stuff with pancake. "Do you trust me?" she asks genuinely. He swallows. "Of course" he replies with ease. "There is nothing you ever done to sway that" "Why do you trust me?" She press. "let's see....you have no malicious intentions against me, you accepted me for the chaotic spirit I am.....and, you have a very sweet heart" he said gently, making her smile and blush lightly. "Which is why I like you more than others, there will be no other pony like you in all of Equestria! or beyond the years to come!" he exclaimes, before taking another bite of pancake. "Do you trust my friends?" she asks. "No" he muffles, his mouth full. She had a feeling he was going to say that. He swallows. "They're just waiting to put me back into stone" "Well, I'm going to change your mind....come on!" she said cheerfully flying out of the kitchen. Discord let out a groan. "This ought to be fun...." he said, dilegently following her outside.Fluttershy position herself on top of the cottage as Discord waited below. It wasn't long until the mane five showed up. Their reactions was exactly what Discord imagined. "Oh no!" Rarity exclaims a hoof over her forehead. "Not him!" "Oh great, what's Discord doing here?" Rainbow Dash said with suspicion as she flys up to him. "Causing more black weeds to show up, I reckon" Applejack mentions, remembering the blunder seeds that Discord planted a thousand moons ago, causing the plants to kidnap the princesses and almost destroy ponyville. Discord let out a scoff, quickly going beside her. "Please, I helped cleaned up remember?." he said conjuring up a feather duster and slapping it on her muzzle. Applejack slaps the duster away, glaring at him."...my goodness, you never let the past be past now, can you?" He said, shoving her hat over her face. Applejack let out a growl placing her hat back to it's original place. "Now everypony calm down" Fluttershy interfers going in between them. "Discord is here to learn more about friendship" Rainbow Dash let out a loud fit of laughter, slapping her knee. "D-Discord?hahaha a-and f-f-friendship! oh that's rich! stop, I'm busting a gut here!" She said clutching her stomuch. Discord was tempted to turn her into an orange, something he would have done until Fluttershy flew up to her. "Yes" she said sternly. "He's trying really hard and I expect you to try just as hard to get along with him" "Then why are we here?" Rainbow Dash said with a scowl. "Discord isn't exactly a "good" friend" "Which is why I'm going to give you all a little test" Fluttershy said, flying back on the roof. "All right Fluttershy, We'll do your test" Twilight smiles, becoming ready to face any test with ease. Discord rolls his eyes at the new princess. "We are going to do a trust fall" Fluttershy said. "A trust fall?" Rainbow repeated. "What the hay is that?" "Here I'll show you....Discord, would you please take a step forward?" "Sure thing" he perks,suddenly his hoof disconnects from his body taking a step foreward. Fluttershy raise a brow. "Umm...I mean the rest of you?" Discord chuckles to himself. He attaches himself back to his cloven hoof and looks up. "What exactly do you plan of doing?" He asks.Fluttershy folds her wings, and crouch. "Trust fall!" she jumps, turning herself on her back and fell. Discord's eyes bulged and instictivly put out his arms, and caught her. Fluttershy claps her hoofs together, making her friends let out a sigh of relief. "Have you gone mad!" Discord shouts. "Not using your wings, are you trying to hurt yourself? if you are, we really need to get you some help as soon as possible" He snaps his fingers, conjuring himself sitting on a leather chair and Fluttershy laying down on a red couch. Discord clicks the top of a pen he was holding, ready to write on his clipboard. "Now...." he starts with a british accent, moving a set of round glasses up to his eyes. "let's start with your childhood" "No Discord, that was a trust fall" Fluttershy smiles gently as she lifts herself off of the couch. "I trusted that you were going to catch me....now, for you to gain some trust and trust for my friends, you are all going to do a trust fall with each other...won't that be nice?"
