//------------------------------// // May 31rst, 1,004 // Story: A Little Bit of Chaos in my Life // by forevertheDoctor //------------------------------// I cowered back into the bathroom and closed the door. I heard an exasperated moan. There was a rapping at the door, and I heard Discord begin to sing. "DO YOU WANT TO BUILD A SNOWMAAAAAN?!" he sang. "NO!" I scrambled out the doorway and glared at Discord. "Do you think this is a joke?! Ponies are DEAD and it's MY FAULT!" I said, on the verge of tears. Discord cocked his head, almost like a confused puppy. "But...I was the one who caused the fire." Discord said. I let my gaze soften. "I'm the mare you went to such lengths to protect." I said. Discord's confused expression melted into one of sympathy. His tail coiled around me, and the cotton like tip stroked my face gently, banishing newly formed tears. He drew his face close to mine. I pulled away. "I...I have nothing to say..." I said. Discord shook his head. "Yes you do." I turned to him in surprise. "What?" I said. Discord nodded. "You have words, Fluttershy. Remember that." he said. I simply stood there, breathing heavily. "I...there's so much rage and confusion inside me, I feel like I could explode..." I said. Discord nodded. "Then do it. Explode." he said. I hastily shook my head. Discord lifted his paw and spawned a fluffy pillow. "Kick this as hard as you can." said Discord, throwing it in my direction. I inhaled and lifted my hoof. I held it back, preparing to swing it as hard as I could. I swung, and my hoof made impact. The pillow moved an astounding two feet. Discord sighed and shook his head. "That's...aggressive for you, I guess. Clearly you need time to heal. If you need me, give me a shout. And remember, you have words." and with that, he was gone. I stood there for a while. I closed all my windows, drew all the shades, and made sure the door was locked. And I sang. And you know what? I felt better.
