Chapter Nine: Plot Twist




Fluttershy stared at the two newlyweds with a soft smile as she groomed her beloved Angel. She was happy that Cadence had finally chosen a suitor, and one who would not be a rotten apple. But her smile soon turned sad as she thought of Discord. She’d been more than happy that the Draconequus had gotten the one thing he’d always wanted, but she missed him. She’d grown to enjoy his company and he was her first real friend. Except for Angel of course.
She sniffed and sighed sadly. “A mare like me, as if an all powerful creature like him could ever love me,” she let the tears fall freely now. The white rabbit looked up at her with a saddened expression. Though he had not been a big fan of the creature, and vice versa, he did not like seeing Fluttershy sad. The buttermilk mare looked at the carousal with watery eyes. No jewel, no gift, no nothing could ever compare to this, and in her defense this was the only real meaningful gift she’d ever been given.
Despite her sadness, she still noticed it when Angel leapt out of her hooves. “Angel?” she called out, wiping her eyes. “What the?” her mouth hung agape when she saw he was wearing a waistcoat and a pocket watch? “Angel?!” she stared at the rabbit as he hopped around the gardens. He took off running, and of course the Pegasus mare could not help but follow.
“Angel, oh by Luna, not again!” she shivered as she realized the rabbit led her into the gigantic maze outside the Palace. It took her three hours to find her way out last time she got lost in the maze. “Angel?!” she called out. She stopped when she saw three small oddly shaped butterflies. Their wings were pink with gray bodies, but they had slightly bushy white eyebrows, cinnamon red eyes, and all three had a identical fang sticking out of the side of their mouths. “Discord,” she smiled as a poof of white magic turned him from the butterflies into his true form.
“Did you really think I forgot about you my dear?” he picked her up and twirled her around. She grinned at him. “May I have this dance?” she giggled and nodded, and of course, the two began a dance, which surprisingly was a slow dance rather than a Two To Tango.
~Meanwhile~
“Are they kissing?” Pinkie Pie asked for the fourth time. “Hush Ms. Pie, I-- Oh good heavens, what a ghastly color!” Rarity gaped as she allowed her horn to glow blue. “Ghastly?” Pinkie’s eyes widened then narrowed. “Oh, darling it’s fine on you but it is simply not a color for Royalty! Make it Blue!” she shot a magic beam from her horn that turned Fluttershy’s dress completely blue. Though the Pegasus did not notice, the Draconequus did, but he swore his revenge later. Now was the time for him and his mare.
Pinkie’s eyes narrowed even more. “I think pink is more her style. Make it Pink!” she fired a Limited Edition Pinkie Pie Color Changer at the dress, which instantly turned it completely pink. That was how Rarity and Pinkie Pie started changing the color of the dress as pink butterflies that matched Fluttershy’s Cutie Mark fluttered around the Mare and the Draconequus and a gentle tune played, though the butterflies glowed bright white when the highest note was played.
Even as the dress began to continously change color, curtesy of Discord, and the other two mares began wrestling each other, a group of white bunnies, waistcoated Angel included, began to dance around them. Just like how pink cotton candy clouds filled with slightly dripping chocolate milk, swirled above their heads.
From a distance, a zebra and an mismatched Alicorn watched with twin smiles. “My little Draconequus all grown up,” Chaos sniffed and Zecora nodded. “Their love did not need you to assist,” the Alicorn had the decency to look bashful. “But don’t you just love a good plot twist?” the two shared a chuckle as the Mare and the Draconequus, the Plot Twist of this tale, shared their loving kiss.
