Discord's Choice

The dream

"I love you Discord, more than anypony in Equestria" Fluttershy whispered, her arms wrapped around Discord's distorted body. Discord smiled and looked down at her and brushed her soft pink mane with his claw. "I love you too my dear" he replied softly. He wrapped his tail around her and closed his eyes, enjoying every second of the hug.

"Discord..." Fluttershy said, her voice as soft as silk as she looked into Discord's eyes.

"Yes, my love?" He asked sweetly, looking back into her beautiful, sparkling eyes.

Fluttershy's eyes slowly started to well up with tears. "How could you?" She said, her voice trembling with sadness and pain. Discord backed away from her. "I...I don't understand...what did I do?" He muttered, staring at his only friend who stared back at him with anger and disgust. "I trusted you! I thought we were friends! How could you?!" Fluttershy cried out. "B-but we are..." He stammered. He was so confused and hurt. He watched as Fluttershy ran away from him.

He wanted to ran after her but trees started to sprout around him, destroying everything in sight. Discord started feeling nauseous and fell to his knees as his vision started to fail.

Just as he started to regain his sight, vines started to wrap his body, pulling him into the ground. Discord tried to teleport out of their grip but with no prevail.He tried to escape but it was no use. With every struggle, the more his body sunk into the dirt. Just before his body was fully sunken, he heard a scream. A familiar scream.

"Fluttershy!" He shouted, sitting up from his bed, panting as beads of sweat ran down his face. He looked around the room and noticed two alicorns right next to him. One had a soothing white coat while the other had a blue-violet coat. He grabbed the covers right before he fell of the bed. "Celestia! Luna! What the buck are you two doing in my room!" He shouted at them, removing the covers off his face.

"Luna told me about your problem," said Celestia, examining his state. Discord continued to lay on the floor as he tilted his head at that remark.

"What do you mean?" He questioned with a scoff. Luna used her magic to carry a mirror to the front of his face. Discord looked into the mirror and screamed. He stopped and threw the covers off the rest of his body and screamed even louder. "Wh-...how...I..." He stammered, crawling back up onto the bed, "I dont understand. Why didn't I change back? You said I would change back!" He accused Celestia of his situation.

With a flash, a book floated infront of his face. Discord looked back at Celestia and Luna who both signalled to read it. "Ponifying Spell...Alicorn magic...to change back...you need a...LIVING SPECIMEN OF SUBJECT?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! HOW DID YOU MISS THIS?!" Discord shouted with anger and frustration.

Celestia sighed as Luna tried to hide her erge to laugh. She usually enjoyed Discord's little fits, especially when it is with her sister. Celestia turned around. "I have asked Fluttershy to pick you up. You will be staying at Fluttershy's cottage as we find a way to get you into your draconquess self again. She is waiting for you in the train station in Canterlot right now. I'd advise you to start packing now," she said, sternly, as she left the room and slammed the door. Luna and Discord looked at each other with the same looks. Discored moaned in annoyance and rolled his eyes, "What's sunbutts problem?".

Luna smiled. "I'll leave you to packing. I'll be waiting outside," she informed and left the room. She sighed and bit her lower lip. "This is such a bad idea..." She whispered under her breath and waited for him to finish.
