The Tale of Discord

The Confession

Wow, Fluttershy thought as she stared up at Discord's castle. It was a huge mansion made of some kind of dark stone. Fluttershy thought that it was very intimidating. She tried to walk across the bridge to the front door, but she was stopped by some kind of a force field. It was quiet for a full minute until suddenly, a loud, booming voice filled Fluttershy's ears, making her squeak.
"Who is it?" the voice asked in an extremely menacing tone.
In the loudest, bravest voice she could muster at that moment, she said,"F-F-Fluttershy..."
"Oh, my dearest Fluttershy!" Discord suddenly teleported himself next to Fluttershy, which caused her to jump. "Why, I wouldn't have expected the ponies to send YOU as a mouthpiece for Ponyville!"
"I-I'm not..." Fluttershy started.
"I thought that they would send someone like Twilight, or Rainbow Dash, but not you!"
"I-I'm not a m-m-mouthpiece..." Fluttershy whispered.
"But, you're so shy, and I thought that it would cause you to not have good negotiating skills!"
"Um, Excuse me, Discord-"
"I cannot even imagine you as-"
"I SAID THAT I AM NOT THE REPRESENTATIVE OF PONYVILLE!!" screamed Fluttershy. As soon as she finished yelling, she turned bright red. "I'm s-s-sorry... I lost control..." Discord gave her an evil grin.
"If you didn't come as the representative of Ponyville, then why did you come?"
"I came...to be............"
"What was that?"
"I came to be... Your b-b-bride?"
