The Question
I can remember how I got here.... In this mess, I could have saved myself from. Where exactly am I? Oh, On a mountain, next to Discord's House.... If that's what you can even call it. My fillyhood friend, Dashie, is here with me. We are more than friends now, but that's a whole different sto- Oh wait it's not a whole different story. I better explain myself.
A few months ago, I was feeding all the bunnies. It was almost winter, so the needed as much food as they could get their little paws on. Then, Rainbow Dash, flew in front of me. "Oh, H-Hi Dash..." I said while letting go of a mouth-full of hay slowly. "Hey Flutter-"
They cyan Pegasus then got caught off by Discord, whom teleported in just in time to finish her sentence.
"Shy" Discord said, grinning competitively at Rainbow Dash.
"What are you two doing here?" I frowned at both with my ears flattened. Last time I checked these two didn't get along, and to be honest, they didn't seem like they were ever going to, and the thought of them coming here just to start something gave me the chills.
"Well Fluttershy, we wanted to ask you something very.... Very... Important." Discord was calmly talking while I could say the opposite for Dashie... I had never in my life seen her so nervous, neither blush as much as she did.
"O-Ok... Well, ask me a-anything." I replied while picking up Angel Bunny, and brushing his snow-white soft fur.
They stared back at eachother as if they thought it would be harder to get to talk to me or get me to fully listen. They both tried to start talking, and both failed. I was getting anxious to know what they wanted to tell me but none of them would speak up, which was unusual.
Discord finally speaked up. "We were wanting to ask you if you would perhaps like to be one of our-"
This time, Discord got interrupted by Dashie, who was now eager to speak. "MY very special somepony."
My entire body was frozen. I couldn't see my face, yet I could feel my cheeks burning. I just stood there, like an ice sculpture, trying to get in what I just had heard them say.
"We were supposed to ask her together!" Hissed Discord, "It was part of the plan, remember?!?".
Dashie grinned at him "Well though luck, Discord" she looked back at me and frowned. "I... Think we should let her have some time alone so she can pick, I'll be leaving"
Discord shook his head slightly and teleported out, as suddenly, Rainbow Dash, blew me a kiss and flew up. A few seconds later a loud "BOOM" was heard and rainbows exploded everywhere.
Once I had unfrezzed, I ran to my cottage and locked the door.... "Who should I pick..? A-And what if I hurt one of their feelings? Oh please help me my little friends...." I said while looking down at my animals, they were the ones whom usually gave me this, or any at all, type of advise.
They all kept on saying to "follow my heart and do what's best for me" But Honestly, I couldn't tell right from wrong today, nether less, did my heart feel anything.
Chapter 2- Riddles and Clues
I was awoken in the morning by a loud knock and I few chuckling noises. I got up, yawned and stretched over to the knob slowly turning it as I fixed my eye sight which was still messed up after last night's dreams and all the thinking I had made. Once the door was fully open I saw a hypered up Pink pony jumping up and down in my front porch.
"U-Uhm H-Hello Pinkie. What leads you here?" I said while I skimmed my hoove through out my mane which was really messy.
"Oh nothing much, just came here to see how you were," Pinkie Pie smiled as brightly as she always would. "And I came to give you a letter sent by... "Unknown". Derpy was sick so I offered to back her up with the mail today." She handed me a red envelope with hearts, sealed by a kiss sticker.
I smiled as the two possible victims of this letter poped into my mind. "Why that's very nice of you Pinkie. Thanks for the letter and I am fine."
"You're welcome. I better get going I still have half of Ponyville to go!" She surprised me with a hug and left quickly, waving goodbye.
"Bye Pinkie...!" I murmured under my breath while I shut the door. I looked at the letter suspisouly... Should I open it? Or keep it for later? I ripped the red tab out and grabbed the note inside. I read it out loud as my animals gathered by to see what it was. "Although your choice has not been made, it must by the end of the day. Meet us right by the fountain of rays at 10:00"
I didn't know if I was happy or scared or somewhere in between but what I did know was that there was only three hours left. Three hours not only to get ready, but to make a life changing desition. Celestia, I make things sound so hard sometimes. I just have to get to Rarity's, hope and pray she isn't too busy, and if she gets a chance to give me a quick change think of my decision while she fixes me up. Easy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I never knew how dangerous it could be to walk over to a friend's house until today. Let's just say that thinking and walking don't make a good combination. While I was walk-thinking I almost fell into a small, yet deep river, but instead of getting a cold, shivery, wet feeling, I heard a "Poof" and felt something soft. I opened my eyes slowly to realize that I was lying on a bed of my favorite type of roses.
I looked over and saw Discord looking down at me and smiling. "Oh Hey Discord." I smiled and I waved, still laying on the soft bed of roses.
"Hey. You need to be more careful, Flutershy." He lift me up from the bed and kissed my forehead, making me blush insanely instantly. "Thanks, I'm really glad you were here to save me. I was just so caught up in thinking about..... Oh my.... I have to go... Thanks again Dis!" I flew away as fast as I could leaving him behind and sighed in relief that I could end and type of conversation with him before the little meeting.

I peeked carefully into Rarity's knowing that she had lately been working on her newest collection and could be doing that right this second. Fortunately, she was just sitting on her couch reading a book called "Diamond's are my Best Friend" (Go read that. It's by me too????) "U-Uhm oh Hello Rarity. I hope I'm not interrupting anything too important."
"Of course not Darling. Come on in," she smiled warmly at me as she used her magic to drop her book on a table nearby. "How could I ever be helpful to you?"
I smiled back and said, "Would you mind giving me a quick help with getting dressed? I have somewhere I have to be at in about two hours and a half. It's not too formal, just a little."
She clapped he hooves excitedly "Ooh I'ld love to. Let me just get a few things, why don't you have a seat over there?" She said pointing to a vanity as she recollected items from all over cabinets. I sat in it.
A few minutes later she was over near the vanity doing things to my hair and wrapping things around me. I didn't really realize what she was doing, I was way too busy thing over who to pick and why I should pick them.
