//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: The Letter // Story: The Slumber Party of 'Shy and Discord // by The-Fluttercord-Fangirl //------------------------------// It was a beautiful day in Ponyville. Rainbow Dash was on her way to Twilight's, Rarity was sewing some dresses for herself, AppleJack was bucking some apples, Pinkie Pie was preparing a party with Cheese Sandwich, Twilight was reading, and Fluttershy... well, she was getting ready for a slumber party. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few days before/Tuesday tea "Oh Discord!" said Fluttershy, "These Tuesday teas are so much fun!" "I know, right?" replied Discord, "We should do something else to spend time together, Flutters." "I wonder what...." she replied. "I KNOW!" said Discord excitedly, "How about we have a slumber party this Saturday?" "That's a great idea, Discord!" replied Fluttershy in the same tone of excitement, "How about we meet at 2:00 PM?" "Sure, why not?" said Discord, "Do i bring my own bed?" "Of course!...Why do you ask?" Flutters asked him. "Oh... nothing its not like I was thinking of... nevermind, ok!" he replied. 'Its ok... she's just a friend... its not like you could actually get to sleep with such a pret- no! she's just a friend, Discord!' "Um... Discord are you ok?" she asked. "Uh... yeah I'm fine... just thinking..." he said slightly blushing, "umm... OKTHENSEEYOUSATURDAY!" he said really fast just before poofing away. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Present day/Fluttershy's cottage "Oh Angel I hope everything looks alright! Is the floor clean enough? Are the marshmallows in the fridge? Is my room not too messy? Oh I hope everything goes right!!!" she said while biting her hoof. Angel hit her. "Ouch!" she squeaked, "Oh you're right, Angel, I'm just overreacting... everything is perfect," she said, "or at least, i hope so!". Angel was trying to say "Why are you so worried? It's just Discord! Pfft! Like HE would care about order. Stop overreacting Fluttershy!" "Oh ok, I think everything is fine... just have to wait until he gets here!" said Fluttershy. Then she saw a flash of light and a scroll appeared next to her. "Oh I wonder who it's from, and what it's about" she said while she opened it. "Dear Fluttershy," the butter-colored pegasus read. "I'm sorry to say I wont be able to make it over in time. I might take a few more hours until I get there. I was really looking foward to our party, but Celestia needs me at a meeting in Canterlot, and I wont be able to go as soon as i hoped to. Don't worry I WILL come today. Love,Your Friend," she blushed slightly "Oh my..." she said and looked at a mad Angel, "he's just a friend I'm sure he didnt mean for it to sound like that..." "~Discord P.S. want me to bring anything to our party?" "Oh, well... Angel! Discord wont be able to make it until a few hours!" She placed her hoof oh her jaw while she tought. "Maybe I can go visit my pony friends!" She said in an excited tone, "That way I won't have to wait for so long!" then she stopped and realized. "But first! I have to write back to Discord!" she found a pen, dipped it in ink, and started writing back. "Dear Discord, I got your letter, and, I'm sorry you couldn't get here sooner! I understand the Princess needs you, so I will find a way to distract myself while I wait. Your PFF, ~Fluttershy P.S. You can bring anything you want! Oh, and maybe get some whipped cream? I forgot to buy some for the s'mores." She put a nice bow on the letter and sent it. "I'm gonna go see what Twilight's doing!" 'Shy said. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Twilight's Castle *Knock Knock* "Um oh hi Twilight. Hi Rainbow" she said. "Hey Flutters! What's up?" Twi said. "Oh nothing, just came to see if you were doing anything interesting. Me and Discord were gonna have a slumber party, but then he told me the Princess needed him. So i just came here while I wait for him to finish. What are you doing here Rainbow?" This caught RD's attention. "Just getting my new Daring Do book..." she said mysteriously while turning around, "and that Discord BETTER NOT HURT YOU! Or he's gonna PAY! And he's gonna pay REALLY BADLY!" "eep!" squeaked Fluttershy "Um... I don't really think he is that bad..." "Of course he's bad! I'm gonna be watching him. And I mean literally!" said Rainbow. "Rainbow! You should leave them alone," Twilight answered, "if Discord does something I'm sure Fluttershy will be able to tell us." "Ugh FINE!" said an angry Dashie." _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few hours later at Fluttershy's cottage "Oh... Discord still hasn't come... I'm starting to get worried!" 'Shy sighed. "SURPRISE!" said Discord as he appeared and tackle-hugged Fluttershy. "AAH!" she screamed. "Oh, Im sorry are you ok Flutters?" said Discord in a worried tone while backing away. "Yes... its ok you just scared me" replied Fluttershy while looking down with a tiny smile on her face. Discord stared at her like an idiot 'Oh my Celestia she's soooo cute when she's shy', he thought. Fluttershy was also thinking. 'I love it when he gives me that look he's just sooo hands- remember, Fluttershy... he's just a friend....'. She broke the silence. "Um so... did you bring the whipped cream like I asked?" he didn't respond. "Um... Hello? Discoooord?" she waved her hoof in front of his face. "Uh? Huh? What?" he answered kinda puzzled. "Oh sorry, I was just... um... thinking... and yes I did bring the whipped cream", he said as he poofed it in front of her. "Perfect! Thank you Discord!" she ran and hugged him. "Oh... no problem" he said while hugging her back. "Oh, Discord I love-" Fluttershy stopped talking and realized what she was about to say, "-when you do something nice for me," she resumed awkwardly. Discord was kind of disappointed, he loved her and hoped she loved him too. "Oh...uh... me too" he replied. They broke away from the hug after some time. "So, shall we start our party?" Discord asked. "Definitely!" Fluttershy answered just before giving him a peck on the cheek and walking away. Discord put his paw on his cheek and smiled.
