IN THE PARK
Fluttershy looked in the direction that Discord had gone, and realized the situation. She noticed that Discord
wasn't hurting her and that she might have exaggerated. She felt ashamed and embarassed of herself.
It was starting to get dark and Fluttershy was scared of the dark. Without giving it much thought, she picked up her backpack and went home. As soon as she got home she called Principal Celestia and explained to her
what had happened.
THE NEXT DAY IN THE SCHOOL LIBRARY
It was 8:00 AM, Discord was beginning to wake up. He noticed the time and he always would get up at 6:00 AM to begin his laboral chores for the day, it was obvious that possibly Gio the janitor didn't work on Saturdays
either.
Discord was happy, two whole days of rest and he had the whole school all to himself.
Discord lay back down on his bed of books to sleep a bit more. He closed his eyes and got comfortable.
Celestia entered the library not long after.
"Discord," Said Celestia in a loud voice. "Wake up!"
Discord opened his eyes very annoyed.
"Celestia?" Asked Discord getting up out of bed, feeling annoyed that he had been woken up. "It's Saturday!"
"You have work to do." Said Celestia. "You still have to clean the school."
"No!" Said Discord sitting up and rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "I don't wanna!"
Celestia sat down on the edge of Discord's bed.
"How did it go with Rarity yesterday?" Asked Celestia.
Discord frowned a bit, and he got up from the bed to not bother Celestia.
"Well," Began Discord. "I learned the rights of an perpetrator." He joked.
This made Celestia raise an eyebrow.
"So..." Said Celestia. "How did it go with Fluttershy?"
Discord was bothered by this question. He had completely forgotten the face of terror that the beautiful girl had on her face. Up until Celestia had asked him that question, he suddenly remembered that horrible moment.
Discord began to sweat nervously.
(In Discord's mind)
Damn Trollestia f$cking b*tch she just had to remind me of that moment but no problem, I'll just lie to her. Yes, I'll just lie to that damn b#tch
(End of Discord's thoughts)
"I had a good time." Said Discord faking a smile. "She's a very friendly girl."
Celestia looked at Discord in a doubtful manner.
"Seriously?" Asked Celestia.
"Yes." Affirmed Discord with his false smile. "It's the truth."
"Well." Said Celestia seeing through his lies and crossing her arms with an unamused face. "Fluttershy told me something different."
Discord stopped smiling.
"What?" Said Discord. "She really told you what happened?"
"She called me by phone last night." Answered Celestia. "She explained to me that it was all a big misunderstanding."
Discord looked away, for him there was no misunderstanding, she was just afraid.
"Although you should have admitted that you were an idiot." Said Celestia scolding Discord. Discord gave Celestia a look of confusion. -You appeared out of no where in a park scaring her and then you made a 16 year old
girl walk home by herself in the dark, with no one around, and it got very dark...."
Discord listened to Celestia and got worried, he scratched his left arm in embarrassment.
"I also would have been afraid." Continued Celestia. "But we know that you didn't have bad intentions towards Fluttershy.....Or did you?"
"Hey!" Said Discord, irritated and beginning to blush as red as a tomato. "I'm not a pervert!"
"Hahaha!" Said Celestia cracking up. "I was just kidding."
"Trollestia!" Discord whisper yelled with anger.
"What did you say?" Asked Celestia now angered with Discord's comment.
"Nothing princess." Said Discord grinning innocently.
Celestia took a deep breath to calm herself down.
"Today you will spend time with just Fluttershy." Said Celestia.
"What?!" Asked Discord. "I won't do it! You can't make me spend time with that crybaby!"
"If you do it." Said Celestia. "You'll learn good values from her. I order you to spend the day with her!"
"Hey!" Responded Discord. "This is asking more that just laboral tasks. I will sue you for not giving me workers rights."
"You can't." Responded Celestia grinning. "You're not in the trade union, and if you even try that you're going straight to jail."
"Aaassssh!" Said Discord. "Ok, I'll do it."
"Good, she will arrive soon." Said Celestia. "Hurry up so you can finish cleaning the school in time."
Celestia got up from the bed and left the building.
Discord remained quiet and annoyed. Without any other options he began to clean the school.
With a mop he cleaned the floors, he cleaned the bathrooms, with a rag he cleaned the tables in the cafeteria, then the windows.
THREE HOURS LATER
Discord finished cleaning the entire school. Discord was very irritated and very tired.
"This is f*cking stupid!" Said Discord talking to himself. "I've been nothing but a slave. I hate my life and I hate everything."
Discord put away all his cleaning materials in the Janitor's closet and slammed the door angrily.
"Now I have to spend time with that cowardly girl." Said Discord, his attitude changing from anger to sadness. "H&ll no!"
Discord could not get the look on Fluttershy's face out of his mind.
"No!" Said Discord sadly. "I will not stand for those who gaze upon me in fear, much less terror."
"I won't stand for it!" Yelled Discord, suffering. "It'd be better if I left! I don't have to put up with this!"
Without a second thought Discord ran to the main entrance of the school.
He got to the entrance and opened the door. After opening the door, he saw that Fluttershy was waiting for him.
"Hello Discord." Said Fluttershy looking at Discord a bit nervously.
Discord looked at Fluttershy and remained immobile, he was looking at her beautiful face.
"Eh?!" Said Discord nervously. "Hi?!"
Discord and Fluttershy stayed silent for a while.
"Discord," Fluttershy began shyly while looking at the ground. "I'm so sorry for what happened yesterday!"
Discord stopped being nervous and listened to Fluttershy.
"I was mean to you." Said Fluttershy. "I want us to be friends."
"Alright." Said Discord, not looking at her.
Fluttershy smiled sweetly and adorably.
Discord smiled back, regaining his confidence.
"Well Fluttershy my dear," Said Discord with much enthusiasm. "What would you like to do?"
Fluttershy blushed a bit.
"Well," Responded Fluttershy. "I need help handing out these flyers."
From her backpack, Fluttershy took out a stack of flyers. Discord took them from her hand and read the one on top.
"Volunteers for the Canterlot animal shelter."
Discord thought: 'Animals?' He remembered the other day when Fluttershy was singing to the animals in the park.
"Wow." Said Discord.
"I know it's not exciting or fun." Said Fluttershy . "B-but I'd really appreciate it if you helped me out."
"This sounds boring." Said Discord smiling.
Fluttershy frowned.
"But." Continued Discord. "We can make it fun."
Fluttershy didn't understand.
"How?" Asked Fluttershy.
"I don't know." Said Discord smiling. "But we have to try."
Then they both left the school and tried to hand out flyers close by.
Fluttershy was not having any luck in handing them out. The people passing by would just ignore her.
"Volunteers for the Canterlot animal shelter." Said Fluttershy quietly.
With Discord it was pretty much the same.
"Volunteers for the center of, of I don't know." Said Discord, but no one was paying him any attention either. "Take it or leave it. Take it! Take it..!"
Fluttershy couldn't take it anymore, she couldn't hand out a single flyer. She was starting to feel sad, so she sat on the ground and began to cry.
Discord noticed, Fluttershy was a fragile girl, handing out the flyers was a complete failure.
Discord got closer to Fluttershy, he bent down and took her by the hand. He wanted to comfort her.
"You're a volunteer for the animal shelter?" Asked Discord very concerned.
Fluttershy dried her tears and looked at Discord.
"Yes, I'm the only one." Said Fluttershy. "My friends helped me out at first, but now it's just me."
Discord smiled calmly.
"Can you take me?" Asked Discord.
Fluttershy was surprised, her eyes shine with emotion. She quickly got up, and took Discord by the hand and took him to the animal shelter. She practically dragged him because they got there pretty quickly.
They finally arrived at the animal shelter.
Fluttershy greeted her animal friends that were in cages and adorable little houses.
Upon hearing Fluttershy the animals shouted in joy.
Discord was impressed, it looked like the animals loved their caretaker.
"Welcome." Said Fluttershy with incomparable joy. "I present to you my big family."
"Wow!" Said Discord looking at the amount of critters in the room. "So much animals!"
"They're nice and very cuddly creatures." Said Fluttershy petting one of the puppies. "I'm hoping they get adopted soon."
"Ok." Said Discord. -What can we do to help?"
Fluttershy looked at Discord amazement.
"Well," Said Fluttershy. "Today I get to clean out the hamster's habitat."
"Great!" Said Discord sarcastically. "More cleaning."
Fluttershy quickly led them to the room where the hamster habitat was. Discord brought the cleaning products and handed them to Fluttershy.
Fluttershy sweetly told the hamsters to get out so she could clean their home. The hamsters obeyed and left the habitat.
"Discord, can you take care of them?" Asked Fluttershy, holding a cloth and a bucket full of soapy water. "While I clean their little home?"
"Are you sure about this?" Asked Discord. "You don't want any help?"
"Don't worry." Said Fluttershy consoling Discord with a smile. "You'll be fine."
Discord returned the smile.
Then Fluttershy entered the hamster's habitat.
Discord let out a sigh of happiness from seeing Fluttershy's smile. Her smile was very comforting and beautiful.
Suddenly a hamster threw a rock at Discord's head.
Discord was immediately annoyed and he glared at the hamsters. The hamsters glared back at Discord.
Discord returned the look.
"Hey rodents!" Said Discord. "Don't make me look bad in front of..."
Discord was interrupted by another rock being thrown by another hamster.
"Don't make me mad or..."
Another rock interrupted Discord.
Meanwhile as Fluttershy cleaned out the hamster's habitat, she hadn't taken notice of the battle that was going on behind her.
Five hamsters jumped onto Discord's face, others on his arms. Discord tried to swat them off to be free of those animals but there were too many and it was futile.
Discord fell to the ground, and some of the remaining hamsters got ropes and they began to tie him up.
"Flutters...!" Said Discord, but his mouth was quickly covered by a cloth the hamsters found. "MMMMM!"
Some time later, Fluttershy happily finished cleaning out the hamster habitat.
She turned around to look at Discord and the hamsters and could not believe what she was seeing.
Discord was hanging from the ceiling, upside down, every part of his body wrapped with rope while the hamsters danced victoriously.
"Discord!" Said Fluttershy. "I'm so sorry! You hamsters have been very naughty!"
Fluttershy removed the cloth from his mouth.
"Not to worry Fluttershy. This wouldn't be the first time I didn't get along with animals." Said Discord, falling to the floor. "Ouch!"
Then Fluttershy untied Discord then he stood up and rubbed his head from the fall.
Fluttershy began to giggle softly at the fact that someone as big as Discord had been taken down by a few small hamsters.
"Hey!" Said Discord grinning. "That really hurt."
"Sorry." Said Fluttershy covering her mouth with her right hand.
"If you'll allow me." Said Discord. "This time I will clean the rest of the animal cages and you can look after your little animal friends."
"No Discord." Said Fluttershy blushing. "I don't want to cause you anymore trouble."
"Excuse me you little snitch." Said Discord grinning slyly. "I've spent most of my time cleaning, today I cleaned the whole school myself, so this will be easy."
"But." Insisted Fluttershy.
Discord nicely removed some of the animals from their cages and homes and with a cloth, water and soap he began to clean out the homes of the animals.
Fluttershy looked after the animals. She rubbed and petted them tenderly while she observed Discord.
Discord cleaned them out quickly and was finished in no time. With a dry cloth he dried them out.
After he finished, Fluttershy informed the animals to return to their homes, the animals in favor of Fluttershy were obedient and quickly returned to their homes.
"Thank you Discord." Said Fluttershy sweetly.
"No problem." Said Discord.
Then Fluttershy gave a treat to each animal, as she did this she sang a beautiful melody. Discord was hypnotized by her lovely voice.
After a while, Fluttershy said goodbye to her animal friends, she had to go and feed her animal friends in the park. Fluttershy didn't want to leave them, so she got a bit sad as she said her goodbyes.
Discord only observed, she loved those animals, even watching her being sad made his heart ache.
He accompanied Fluttershy to the park with small bags of animal food in each hand that they bought along the way.
In the park, Fluttershy called her animal friends in a gentle and harmonious manner after they sat down on a bench and they came from their hiding places to the bench they were now sitting on. Discord only observed.
A diverse group of critters came running towards them from the trees, the bushes and from holes in the ground: Bunnies, squirrels, ducks, pigeons, small birds, etc..
"Good to see you my friends!" Said Fluttershy to the crowd of animals. "I brought you all some yummy food to eat."
The animals yelled in joy. Immediately Discord handed Fluttershy the bags of food.
Fluttershy began to hand out the food to each animal: vegetables for the bunnies, seeds for the squirrels, bird feed for the birds.
Discord backed away a little bit but he never stopped observing; he didn't want to interrupt his new friend.
Fluttershy noticed this.
"Discord." Said Fluttershy sweetly. "I want you to help me feed them."
"I don't know...." Said Discord shyly. "You can do it."
Fluttershy put some bird seed in Discord's hands.
Reluctantly, Discord obeyed Fluttershy; with the birdseed Fluttershy attracted a small group of birds.
The birds left as Discord tried to get closer and this bothered him. He tried to get close to them again but once again they flew away.
"Silly birds!" Discord whisper yelled. "Please don't make me look bad in front of her."
The birds began to peck at Discord's head, causing Discord to get up and run around in circles trying to escape their pecks. He couldn't see where he was going and he ran into a tree and fell to the ground, then they left him
alone.
Fluttershy jumped up and ran over to help Discord. Discord was lying on the ground so Fluttershy kneeled down next to him to help him.
"Discord!" Asked Fluttershy worried. "Are you ok?"
Discord opened his eyes and looked at Fluttershy.
"Now I feel better." Said Discord grinning.
Fluttershy blushed and gave a small nervous smile.
She helped him up and they continued to feed the animals.
After some time the food ran out. Fluttershy sat down on the ground, the animals sat around her. Discord sat a little distanced from the group.
"You're very popular in the park." Said Discord. "It's very refreshing to breath in the clean air in this park, I understand why you like it here so much."
"I really like the animals." Said Fluttershy. "To care for all the creatures of the world."
"Wow" Said Discord. "I never met anyone as noble as you."
"Really?" Asked Fluttershy.
"Really." Said Discord. "You're a hero to these creatures."
Fluttershy felt very elated hearing this from Discord.
"Thank you Discord." Said Fluttershy. "But it's not enough."
"What?" Asked Discord. "Why?"
"There's not enough help." Said Fluttershy sadly. "The animal shelter is going broke, there is not enough funding."
"I'm so sorry to hear that." Said Discord. "I wish there was some way I could help."
"You're already helping." Said Fluttershy smiling.
Discord began to smile widely. His heart began to beat rapidly.
"Fluttershy?" Said Discord.
"Yes Discord?" Asked Fluttershy.
"Can you do something for me?" Asked Discord a bit nervous.
"Of course!" Said Fluttershy.
"Can you sing a song for me?" Asked Discord. "Please?"
Fluttershy began to feel a bit self conscious.
"I don't know." Said Fluttershy quietly. "I'm not good at singing."
"What are you talking about?!" Said Discord. "You sing beautifully!"
Fluttershy blushed a lot.
"Come on!" Said Discord. "I'm begging you."
A few seconds later, Fluttershy livened up and took her tambourine.
Discord was confused.
Then Fluttershy began to move her tambourine in a very enjoyable rhythm, then she began to sing.
Discord listened. The melody and the rhythm were some of the best he had ever heard.
Fluttershy gained confidence and began to sing with more enthusiasm.
Discord began to applaud.
Fluttershy began to sing louder and with more rhythm.
Suddenly, a bright pink glow enveloped Fluttershy and she began to levitate.
Discord got a bit scared, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
On Fluttershy's head, two strange yellow ears appeared, on her back sprouted yellow wings.
Discord thought he was either going crazy or that this was an illusion.
Fluttershy finished with her song, upon finishing it there was a dim glow then Fluttershy returned to normal.
Discord was stupefied, his mouth and his eyes were open wide.
Fluttershy looked at the surprised face of Discord and began to feel bad.
"Um, I'm very sorry Discord." Said Fluttershy covering her face with her hair. "I sing horribly."
"Fluttershy." Said Discord without changing his expression. "Are you an angel?"
Fluttershy blushed a deep shade of red.
"Those wings," Continued Discord. "That music and those bright colors, you must be a celestial being."
"Thanks." Said Fluttershy. "But I'm not."
"Wow!" Said Discord. "That's not something you see everyday."
"P-please!" Said Fluttershy with fear in her voice. "Don't tell anyone."
"Don't worry about it my beautiful angel from heaven." Said Discord. "For you, I won't tell a soul."
Fluttershy was very flattered, no one had ever been so kind to her before, neither had anyone called her beautiful before.
It was starting to get dark, another day was over. Fluttershy said goodbye to her friends and they left the park.
"Want me to walk you home?" Asked Discord sweetly.
"Yes." Said Fluttershy timidly.
Discord put out his arm like a gentleman and Fluttershy took his arm in hers firmly and together they left the park arm in arm.
After she told him which way to go they got to Fluttershy's house.
"Thank you Discord!" Said Fluttershy letting go of Discord's arm and walkign to her front door. "I had fun! Did you enjoy yourself?"
"I have never had as much fun before in my life!" Said Discord happily.
Fluttershy smiled at him then she began to open the door.
"Fluttershy?" Said Discord
Fluttershy only opened her door halfway.
"Yes, Discord?" She asked, looking at Discord innocently.
"Can I see you again tomorrow?" Asked Discord scratching his head nervously.
Fluttershy blushed deep red once again.
"I know it sounds weird." Said Discord sweating nervously. "But I would like to get to know you better. If you don't want to there's no problem, I'll understand..."
"Of course!" Said Fluttershy. "How about we meet up at 11:00 AM at the park?"
Discord was almost left speechless from the amount of emotions he was feeling at this time.
"It sounds perfect!" Said Discord. "I'll be there."
Fluttershy smiled wide.
"Ok, I'll see you tomorrow." Said Fluttershy. "Good night."
"Good night" Said Discord. "Rest your weary little head."
Fluttershy smiled sweetly, entered her house and shut the door slowly.
Discord waited a few seconds, then he left.
He began to run and jump happily.
"YES!" Yelled Discord. "I'm so so happy!"
Discord's heart began to beat crazy fast every time he thought of Fluttershy.
"I've never felt anything like this inside of me." Said Discord with joy. "I love it!"
