Some Sketchie Advice > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- " Would you like some more punch?" Discord asked. He and Fluttershy were having a picnic out in his garden. About a month or so after his betrayal he was given a small plot of land in the everfree forest were he could spread his chaos as much as he pleased. "Fluttershy, I have something to ask....." Discord stammered. "What?" No, I can't ask! What if she doesn't feel the same way? I can't risk our friendship.. Discord was snapped out of his thoughts when Fluttershy nudged him. "Discord, are you alright?" "Um, yes I'm perfectly fine, and I don't need to ask that question anymore." Discord lied. " Please?" Fluttershy begged and gave him the biggest puppy eyes possible. "Well.... you see...I..." Discord was in jeapordy. "Would you look at the time? I'm late. I've got to go help out sun butt do her chores. This was really fun Fluttershy, thank you," Discord lied. He just couldn't do it. "Oh," Fluttershy replied, dissapointed. "I'll see you soon. Bye." "Bye." and discord took off. He flew to the castle, and started on his new duties. He walked along checking off things on his list, when he bumped into someone. "Excuse me, are you all right? I'm so sorry! I was taking these plates to the kitchen, and I didn't watch where I was going. I hope your ok, " said a voice. "Huh? Oh, Sketchie, its you! Perfect timing! I need some help." Discord said, getting up and rubbing his head, delighted to see his friend. Sketchie was one of the maids at canterlot castle, doing chores and setting tables. She was a pegasus with a white coat and a soft blue mane. Her cutie mark was a blue and white teacup, being painted by a brush with blue paint on the end. "What do you mean?" Sketchie asked, confused. "Um, I'm having some.....umm.. romance problems..?" Discord said, unsure of Sketchie's reaction. But Sketchie only smiled. "Ohhhhh, is this a bout a certain yellow pegasus?" Sketchie teased, earning a blush from Discord. "None of your business! But it might be her... but I'm not saying it is!!" Discord lied, doing a mental facepalm. "Alright then. We start tomorrow on your training," Sketchie smirked. "Alright then. Wait, training!??!?!?" > Chapter 2. Training > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sketchie took a break and started helping Discord out. This will take forver! Not only is he a prankster, he is inconsiderate,rude,annoying,smelly.... "Alright! Lesson number one!" Sketchie said, snapping out of her thoughts. "Manners!! Ok let's pretend I'm Fluttershy and we are having a..um...I don't know.. a picnic! Yeah, a picnic. What are you going to say to me?" "I can't do that." Discord said flatly. "Why not?" Sketchie curiously asked. "Because your not Fluttershy. Wait, I can fix that!" "What?" Sketchie's question was answered when Discord snapped his fingers. Sketchie saw a bright light envelop her, and that's about it. "Discord, what did you...." Sketchie gasped. "What the heck happened to my voice! Its all..squeaky," Sketchie glanced down at her hooves, and gasped when she saw they were yellow. She looked at her hair, and it was pink! She took a moment and realized what had just happened. "Discord! I'm Fluttershy! What did you do? Discord! Turn me back now!" "But now your easier to talk to. Besides, at least you won't have to do your chores." "Whatever. Anyways, I'm Fluttershy. Say something nice." Sketchie said, still not liking her appearence. "Ok. Um... you have nice, hair?" "Oh, thank you." Sketchie said in her Fluttershy voice. "You know, you really stand out among the other ponies, actually, can I ask you something?" Discord said, playing along. "Good, now ask me out to dinner or lunch or whatever." Sketchie cleared her throat, "What is it?" "Would.. would you... go out.... on a....da-date?" Discord stammered. "I would love to!" "Yes!!!! Thank you! I could just kiss you right now!!" Sketchie backed off. "Woah there, lover boy." Sketchie teased,"save the kisses for real Fluttershy. " "I..... umm...." Discord stammered, blushing red. Sketchie giggled at this. "Alright, but we still have a long way to go." > Chapter 3. So Many Facehooves > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fluttershy was on her way to the spa to meet with Rarity. It had been so long since it was just them. Fluttershy strolled into the spa and was happy to see Rarity sitting on a couch, getting her hooves shined. "Fluttershy! It has been so long! It's such a delight!" Rarity said exitedly. Fluttershy smiled and took a seat in the mud bath. It was awfully quiet until Rarity broke the silence with a conversation starter. "Have you heard? Twilight has a coltfriend now! A fellow named Flash I think.." Rarity stated. "How nice!" Fluttershy said, "do you have any interest in some stallions?" "Well.... there is somepony I would not mind... but nevermind that. What about you Fluttershy?" "Umm...I....perhaps.." Fluttershy murmured. "I'm not sure if he likes me anyway.." "So there IS somepony? This is so exiting! This is soooo exiting!" Rarity screeched. Fluttershy blushed a deep pink. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything.... "Well would you look at the time! I have to go.... feed my animals! Yes, excuse me Rarity, but I must go. Thank you for everything!" Fluttershy lied as she galloped out the door. Oh dear..... perhals Fluttershy is feeling lovesick... Rarity thought. > Chapter 3. My Dearest Fluttershy... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Hmm...... what would be next..." Sketchie pranced ariund the room, wondering what else Discord would need to impress Fluttershy. So far they worked on manners, compliments, gestures, which fork to use when eating salad.. "Aha! I've got it!" "Got what? Head lice?" Discord joked, getting a glare from Sketchie. "No, you big dummy. Our next lesson." "Your no fun," Discorc complained. "Anyway, what else do I have to do?" "You need to work on what your going to say." "What do you mean? I have no idea what your talking about," Discord said, sarcastically. "You can't just stroll in and say, "Yo dawg. I heard you like trains. Wanna go out with me?" Sketchie said. "I wouldn't mind. Besides, it sounds cooler that way." Discord chuckled. "Well, if your uncomfortable doing it infront of me, write it down on a piece of paper." "Alright, but I'm leaving. Adios amigo." and with that, Discord teleported out if there, leaving Sketchie to finish the dishes. Soon, Discord got to Fluttershy's place. Fluttershy gladly welcomed him, letting him inside. Discord went upstairs while Fluttershy was cleaning took out a peice of paper and started getting all poetic. My dearest Fluttershy..... Your eyes sparkle light bright stars, twinkling every second. Your fragrant scent is something I cherish every moment I am around you. Your sweet voice is something the whole world adores to hear. When you smile, the world stops and looks for a while. Your stare is simply ravishing, looking into your deep teal eyes. "Okay. That's enough for now." Discord said. Discord rolled up the scroll and tied it with the red ribbon almost everyone used. "Discord, I'm going to the market. I'm going upstairs to grab my list and I'll be on my way. You can stay, if you don't mind, that is." Fluttershy said, flying upstairs. "Actually I will be going now, one of my friends asked me to go to canterlot castle to meet me there. Thank you for welcoming me, my dear." Discord said when she came back down. "Alright, see you soon." and Fluttershy took off. Discord went upstairs, and went to get the poem. Huh, I could have sworn I put this over here. Maybe the wind blew it across the vanity.... Discord grabbed the scroll and flew back to the castle. "What took you so long? Sketchie asked. "Getting my poetic side on. You can read it if you like," he stated, handing the scroll over. "This better be good,"she chuckled." What is this?" "I knew it..." "Two catrons of eggs? One gallon of milk? Five bunches of carrots? This is a grocery list!" "Wait, what?" Discord asked, startled. "Let me see that." Discord's eyes scanned over the paper. She was right. That must mean Fluttershy.... "Oh no!" Fluttershy walked into the market, taking out her list. She looked at it, wondering what to get first, and gasped. Fluttershy read it over. The sparkling eyes, beautiful voice, amazing stare.... There was only one person who admired her stare. "YES!!! YES YES YES YES YES!!!" Fluttershy screamed, jumping, and getting stares from passerbys. "Um....." and with that, Fluttershy happily flew home with the scroll in her hands, daydreaming of what will happen next.
