Fluttershy looked towards a dark sky, stars filled it and within each star held a great memory. “To the town of wind on the other side of time, come on, take me there, make my dream of white flowers come true” She sung with her heart.
She stood on her hooves, one held on her heart, “Take this hand with your sweet fingers, come on, I want you to lead me, on the distant road, to your side” she closed her eyes, she saw a slender figure it held out its hand.
“That singing voice won't cease in the afternoon, together we wake to become one, we will know the meaning of happiness for the first time, take me with you…” She held out her hoof, a gentle smiled stuck onto her face, tears soon followed as she moves to grab its hand.
“That singing voice will heartrendingly and loudly, echo in every heart, never knowing the meaning of happiness when they sleep at night...” Her heartbeat grew faster as her hoof got closer to the other, she hesitated for a moment but continued to reach as though her nerves weren’t there. The wind flowed through her soft hair, the figure seemed to be happy but also unsure of their choice.
“The other side of our dreams are still unknown to us, come on, together we can go, on the distant road, to the town of wind…” She began to open her eyes but the silhouette ran away before she could clearly see who it was. She felt tears go down her face, each one was cold as her heart felt as though close to breaking.
“Who… was that” She said to herself. But a loud noise soon awoke her.
“Fluttershy?! Fluttershy!” The noise called her, she painfully opened her eyes but when they adjusted she wanted to close them again.
“What happened?” She muttered.
Discord put a claw on his chest, “Thank heavens” he looked down at her, “You stopped breathing my dear”
Fluttershy’s eyes flew open with shock, “What?” her heart started beating fast as she panicked.
“Calm down!” Discord said putting his arms around her to stop her from exhausting herself.
Fluttershy began to cough again and her breathing was rapid.
“Fluttershy please calm yourself”
Fluttershy franticly moved her arms and legs, whilst coughing, her vision soon grew blurry again.
“Damn it!” Discord took a step back, closed the curtains in her room and opened the window to allow a breeze to enter, “She needs to calm down” he thought to himself.
Fluttershy soon felt the breeze on her hot cheeks, she was still breathing fast and occasionally coughing but otherwise she stopped moving. Her breathing soon calmed down.
Discord could only watch on as he felt any contact might make her panic again.
She soon sat upright and looked at Discord, a sad expression strewn upon her face, tears soon fell. Discord walked over to her and sat on her bed. She fell on him and rested her body against his. Angel sat in the doorway, worried as this was becoming more and more frequent.
“Discord” Fluttershy mumbled.
“Yes?” Discord said, looking towards the window.
“Please… please take me to the hospital…” She said before passing out.
Discord nodded his head and picked her up, “Anything for you my dear” he said, knowing that she had already passed out.
He ran out the house and took flight, the hospital in Ponyville would be no help to her, and she needed professional help. Rainbow Dash saw Discord fly towards Canterlot with an unconscious Fluttershy, she assumed the worse and took flight herself. Leaving Applejack to tend to the now bent over tree.
She quick caught up to him, but he went faster. He wasn’t going fast enough if she was able to catch up.
“Discord!” Rainbow Dash yelled, “Stop!” she was losing sight of him.
Discord turned his head but didn’t slow down, “Meet us in Canterlot” was all he said before turning back around.
Rainbow Dash almost exhausted said, “Don’t you dare harm her!”
She managed to slow down and land on a nearby field. Her wings red with heat held her to the floor for a while. When she managed to return back to Ponyville it was lunchtime and Applejack was seen selling Apple treats.
“Where did ya’ll get off to?” Applejack said agitatedly.
“Fluttershy was being taken away by Discord!” Rainbow said as though it had just happened, “I had to make sure she was alright! Who knows what he might do!”
Twilight walked over to the girls who were bickering.
“Rainbow, Applejack” She said politely.
“Oh hi Twi” Applejack said, taking off her hat before placing it back.
“Hi” Rainbow said before looking back at Applejack, “And another thing-“
“What has happened?” Twilight asked.

Discord raced through the air, to the ponies below it was an odd sight, seeing something slither through the air before vanishing.
He kept an eye on her, to be sure she was breathing. She was but it was fast paced, unusual for a young pony like herself. It reminded him of another…
‘She collapsed on the bed with exhaustion, after a long day in the palace she needed to rest but as she dozed off, Discord barged in.
“Tia! Want to go for a…” Discord stopped speaking and looked at her, her chest beating so fast. He gazed as if entranced by her. He walked towards her and bent down, observing her peaceful face.
“Oh Tia” he put a claw on his chin, “You work too hard…”
He smiled before putting her in her bed and tucked her in. He then gently stroked her hair that candy flossed coloured hair that moved as if a breeze was always there. He soon dozed off too.’
He soon snapped out of his daydream when Canterlot came into view. He clicked his fingers and a portal opened, a shocked Celestia could be seen in her throne room. He held onto Fluttershy tightly and tucked her underneath so she wouldn’t take any damage from the unavoidable crash.
Celestia moved out of the way as Discord crashed into her throne.
“Discord what is the meaning of this?” Celestia asked.
Discord soon got up, Fluttershy was still clenched tightly in his arms.
“She needs help…” He said, his expression said it all.
Celestia nodded and used her magic to take the three to the hospital, where a ward was kept in case of emergency.
The doctors soon gathered round as Celestia placed Fluttershy on a bed.
“Tend to her” She said sternly.
The doctors nodded and took her away to test her.
Discord watched as her figure was hidden by the doctors and soon gone, he took a deep breath in and sat down on a sofa.
“What’s wrong with her?” Celestia asked.
Discord didn’t say anything, he was exhausted but smiled and stretched.
“Discord?”
“If I knew, I would be more at ease…”
