A Good Share of Lives

by Sea Pony


A Dream That Will Never Die

In all the way I imagined being woken up this morning. A griffin busting through the door certainly wasn't one of them. "Winter! It's an emergency!"

"Ahh! Don't wake me up like that, you almost gave me an heart attack!" I glared at Sonata with a grumpy expression.

"Sorry but it's important! Alexander, my little brother. Want to meet me in Griffonya, in the province of Quebeak, the twenty-three November."

"Not to sound rude but why does this concern me and why should I care?" I ask grumpily.

He was about to respond but he began sniffing the air when he noticed a strange smell. "Whoa Winter what did you do? You smell like a mare in heat"

"That because I'm in heat! The only thing stopping me from suing you for breaking into my room, even through I put a flower at my house's door, is because you're a friend of the family. Now get out!" I screamed before conjuring cold water in direction of Sonata.

In a panic the griffin flew out of the room and slam the door behind him. "I've seen my fair share of monsters in my lifetime. But I have yet to meet something as terrifying as the mood swings of a female in heat" He said to nopony in particuliar before leaving the house he would come back later when my cycle would be over.

As the hours passed the townfolks of Ponyville noticed that a white blanket was slowly but surely falling from the sky. The foals look at the sky in wonder and joy while the farmers looked gloomy that their profits would be cut for months. Winter was coming to Equestria.

Fluttershy smiled from her seat in the royal chariot that Celestia had send her. Even through she deemed the town too dangerous for her family after being targeted so many times by powerful beings or simple monsters. She got to admit it felt nostalgic to come back here.

Through it felt strange to feel so cold she was used of the crystal heart warming her up even through the city was in the middle of a blizzard. The Pegasi that was flying her around landed in front of five very familiar mares.

As soon as she set a hoof on the ground, Fluttershy was tackled by a pink blur. "I'm so happy you're here! It's feel just like old times!"

"I miss you too girls. I'm sorry I have been so distant since Dream..."

"It's perfectly understandable dear. Don't worry about it."

"We shouldn't have let the stupid colt do his wedding thing. It's probably hurt you more than it helped," Rainbow Dash who was still in her wonderbolt costume snorted in anger.

'I tried to make her happy with the time I had! Fluttershy jumped in surprise at the male voice and looked around to find the owner of the voice but found nopony but her friends.

"Who said that?" The shy mare ask to the group.

"Nopony said anything sugarcube, are you sure you're okay?" The cowgirl ask concerned.

"I-I'm okay I must be tired." The butter yellow Pegasus responded with a weak smile. The girls still looked concerned but before they could question further they saw the royal chariot coming in their way.

When the Princess got out of the chariot Rainbow Dash looked around in confusion. "So where is this 'guest' that is supposedly important enough to interupt my nap?"

Twilight glared at the Pegasus disapprovingly for her lack of respect to her ex-mentor. "Well this meeting should happened long ago. In fact the mission I have for you should have happened when Twilight was still my faithful student." She fell silent to let the words sink in. "But since the 'guest' had disappeared I had to cancel it, Discord! You can show yourself!"

A patch of dirt suddenly exploded besided the Princess, making the other mares flinched in surprise. From the hole that had just formed in front of them emerged a very familiar being made with parts of different animals.

"Hello my little ponies! Miss me?" The draconequus ask rather smugly. Instantly the bearers took defensive stances.

"What the hay he's doing here?!" The apple farmer of the group asked alarmingly to the ruler of the day.

"I'm fully aware that Discord wreak some serious havocs the last time he was here-" Celestia began.

"If by serious havocs you mean turning Ponyville in the chaos capital of the world, only to return eleven years later and destroy Manehattan with his freaky vampony friend!" Rainbow Dash glared harshly.

"I am not responsible for what Muerto Titiritero did to Manehattan." Discord crossed his armes indignantly.

"Like hay you're not!" She responded directly hovering an inch from his face.

"Enough!" Celestia interupted them. "Discord made many errors in the past. But when he saw that he went too far he gave us the elements back so that we could defeated Titiritero. I believe there are some good in him. Now Fluttershy I believe you would be the most qualified to reform Discord."

With that the Princess climb back in her chariot. "Now if you excuse me I still have some mess to clean up after what Discord did to my staff at the Castle." She glared a last time at the draconequus, who put an innocent smile, before being pulled back to Canterlot.

The spirit of chaos snickered, "well look like I know where I will be staying while being 'reformed'." The canary Pegasus suddenly appeared in Discord grip. "With you, Fluttershy!" He said while petting the poor mare.

"Oh my." She responded in her usual quiet voice. Unsuspectly a wave of water exploded around Fluttershy's body. Discord drop her in surpise while the other girls gasped in shock.

The said water drop back on the ground between Fluttershy and Discord and took the form of a stallion. "Don't you dare hurt a single hair from my wife or I swear, I Will Kill You!" A familiar distorted voice screamed.

Fluttershy's eyes widden in shock as she realised who it was. "d-Dream!? But that not possible!" Before anything else could be said the pony of water crash on the ground and exploded once again. A grey magic left the puddle where the pony once stood and fused in Fluttershy's own magic. "The magic fusion from the wedding!" She cried in realisation. "Could he really survived in me just because of that?"

'I never left you Fluttershy and I never will, not again.' The voice of her husband responded in her head.

The other bearers had stayed silent the entire time, not sure what to make of the situation. Discord smirked grew slowly by the seconds. "Look like this will be more interesting than I through it would be after all."
