//------------------------------// // Morning // Story: Chaotic: Changeling Madness // by Marina Stars //------------------------------// Fluttershy walked home to her cottage and when she got there most of the animals had been freed and gone to their homes. Some animals, however, were still trapped including angel bunny. She walked over to the little white rabbit. "Angel bunny, why are you still here?" The bunny squeaked something the Pegasus understood. "I know, but don't you want to go inside?" He squeaked again "Why are you so stubborn?" The Pegasus sighed. Then she got an idea "Well I guess I'll have to leave you out here the rest of the day, maybe even all night, out in the cold on your own. I guess your nice warm bed will be empty tonight." The bunny squeaked in annoyance "Or maybe one of the other animals would love to sleep in it." She continued He squeaked again as if to say 'Don't you dare' "Then you'll have to come inside." He squeaked in defeat before giving up. In a moment the bunny was released from the spell. Fluttershy caught him before he fell over off the rock he was on. "There we go. Come on let's get you something to eat." She said as she flew to her house. When they got inside the Pegasus set her bunny on the ground and he hopped to his bunny bed Fluttershy went to her kitchen and made a fruit salad for the bunny then took it to Angel. The Pegasus set about feeding her animals their dinners. When she finished the sun was setting and she began to get hungry. The mare made her way to her little cottage as the sky continued to darken. When she made it inside Discord was on her couch reading a book… upside down. She smiled at his usual chaotic behavior and was glad to see him "Hello Discord." She greeted happily "Oh Fluttershy!" He replied happily poofing the book away "You're back!" She giggled "How long have you been here?" "Not very long." He said looking at a watch he had conjured up before poofing it away again. "How about some dinner?" He asked her "That would be lovely." She smiled sweetly. He snapped and some food appeared on the table. "I actually made all of this earlier," He smiled sheepishly before holding up a platter "Even the cucumber sandwiches." He showed her knowing those were always her favorite. "Thank you." She smiled sweetly. He set them down before pulling out a chair for the kind mare holding his paw out for her "Shall we?" She giggled at the sweet gesture, it was such a beautiful sound that filled him with joy. She placed her hoof in his paw a bright smile on her face. The draconequus helped her into her chair sliding it in for her, as he had done for her countless other times. He then took his seat and they began to eat their dinner "So, what did Twilight want earlier?" Discord asked curiously Fluttershy paused "Oh, she reminded us of the upcoming gala. We'll be helping prepare for the gala." Discord nodded in interest. "We're going to Canterlot in the morning tomorrow. You can come with us if you want." She offered "I don't know if I'm even invited this year. Still waiting on my ticket." He frowned "I'm sure it'll come." She reassured him "After last year, Celestia will probably invite you again, you know she doesn't like it to be boring. Besides if she doesn't send you one, I still have my plus one." Discord looked at her with a smile "Thanks Flutters, but you are probably right. Celestia loves it when things go wrong at her galas." He chuckled causing her to giggle again The two continued with their friendly chat as they finished their food. When they were finished Discord got rid of the mess. Fluttershy gave out a small yawn. "Looks like it's time for you to get to bed." Discord commented Fluttershy nodded "Probably a good idea. You can stay the night if you want." Fluttershy had set up a room for him in her house. Sure he didn't really need it but he loved the gesture and he would stay whenever he got the chance. "I'd love to." The spirit of chaos beamed causing her to smile in return She yawned again "Goodnight Discord." The next morning sunlight flowed through Fluttershy's window causing he buttercream mare slowly wake up. She smiled hearing the birds sing, she loved the melodies they would sing, always so cheerful and lovely. It was the perfect way to wake up. She simply sat and listened to the melody taking in its beauty. She opened her eyes again realizing the time. It was later than she usually woke up. By two hours! Fluttershy gasped. Her animals hadn't been fed. She threw her blankets off and quickly got out of bed. She took a moment to brush her mane before she rushed out of her room and down the stairs. When she reached the bottom Discord was sitting on the couch once again reading his book upside down. He noticed her rush and spoke "If you're worried about your animals, I took care of them already." She paused "Really?" He nodded "That's so sweet. Thank you Discord" She smiled before smelling something sweet. She had a slightly confused look "I also made breakfast." Discord mentioned She smiled again. He led her to the table and once again he pulled her chair out for her. She smiled with a slight blush at how sweet he was being. "You are such a gentle colt." He waved nonchalantly. "It was nothing." She just continued to smile. It was hard to believe that the once feared master of chaos, Discord, had been reformed by her. He had become so sweet and kind, though he had been a terrible creature before. She felt pride knowing that he had truly changed, he had used his magic for good because she had become his friend, the one he never wanted to loose. He even gained more friends, even if they didn't trust him entirely. It never would've happened if she hadn't given him a chance. "Thank you for taking care of my animals for me" Fluttershy said sweetly before taking a bite of some blueberry pancakes he had given her. "It was my pleasure. I felt like you should sleep in. You always work so hard taking care of those animals." "That was so thoughtful of you." He blushed "Anything for my dearest friend." She blushed in return with a soft smile.
