//------------------------------// // What Are You Hiding? // Story: Party of Chaos // by Fluffercry //------------------------------// Fluttershy stayed out longer than she planned. After everyone discussed what their roles were everyone began brainstorming about how everything should come out. Rainbow and AJ came up with some good ideas for games, Pinkie invited Mrs. Cake over and the two managed to come up with an idea for the cake along with some other treats, Rarity helped Twilight think of some clever tricks she could pull off with her magic. Thinking about all of this just made the Pegasus’ wings flutter with excitement. As she walked inside her cottage she was shocked to find Discord lying lifeless on the floor. “Discord!” she shouted as she ran towards her friend. She nudged against his sides calling out his name. Nothing. Fluttershy fell down next to the lifeless body, sobbing lightly. “Fluttershy…” Discord uttered weakly. Fluttershy raised her head slowly, wiping away the tears from her face with her hoof. “A-are you okay?” she said trying to hold back the tears. “Why…?” “Why wh-“ Before she could finish, Discord started tickling the Pegasus belly with his tail. “Why did you leave me here to die of boredom, you silly mare?” Fluttershy rolled over to her sides not able to fight back. “Hahaha you s-scared me,” she laughed. “I’m sorry but today has been the most uninteresting, dull, lifeless day I’ve ever experienced. I needed to do something to liven it up.” The Draconequus stopped to allow the mare to catch her breath. The Pegasus rolled over glaring at Discord. Discord’s grin lowered. “Right, that’s no excuse to scare you like that. I’m sorry.” Fluttershy smiled and gave Discord a hug. He sighed and returned the hug. “But I’d really like to know what you were so happy about just a moment ago.” Fluttershy pulled away wondering what he was referring to. “What?” Discord let go of the Pegasus, stretched out his claw and snapped his fingers. He took the form of Fluttershy mimicking her actions from earlier. “ Oh, now I remember.” “I’m going to assume that you have a special some pony; that is it isn’t it?” Discord asked with a smirk on his face. “What? No, I do-“ Discord picked Fluttershy up from the floor and spun around. “My sweet, little Fluttershy is growing up. Is he nice? He better be nice,” he growled. “There isn’t any pony! I’m still single.” Discord patted the mare on the head and placed her back onto the floor. “Don’t worry, you’ll find him someday. But if it isn’t a stallion then what’s making you so happy? Was it the thought of seeing me again?” Fluttershy giggled shaking her head. “Some pony gave you a present? Is a friend of ours getting married? Was some pony born today? You found a bit?” “No, no, no and no,” Fluttershy laughed. “Sweet Celestia, I’m begging you, please tell me!” Discord kneeled down pleading for the answer. “Sorry Discord, it’s my little secret,” she winked at him. The Draconequus huffed, crossing his arms as he turned away from the pony. Fluttershy yawned and glanced over at the clock from her wall. It was close to 10 P.M. Fluttershy rubbed her eyes then let out another yawn. “It’s getting late; I need to get some sleep.” “So you’re not going to tell me, are you?” She didn’t respond. Fluttershy slowly went up the stairs leading to her room. “Fluttershy? Fluttershy, don’t do this to me.” “Goodnight Discord,” she yawned. “Goodnight, dear,” Discord sighed. He snapped his fingers and teleported to his room within the Canterlot Castle. He flopped on his bed staring at the ceiling. “I’ll find out what you’re hiding sooner or later,” Discord said to himself. The Draconequus soon became tired himself and called it a night.
