The lest letter
The sunshine in the morning is always the most comfortable, they gently irradiate the fur to dispel the coolness of the night.
Just like normal, Fluttershy would like to feed her animal friends in this beautiful time. It was not an easy thing to do, and even though she had been doing it every morning since she was almost ten, she still spent a lot of time on it.
Sure, she is not the only one need to wake up early in the ponyvill, Applejack would get up earlier than she dose, and the deliver ponies would set off almost as soon as the sun rose.
Thinking of mails, Fluttershy put down the feed in her hooves, and she remembers that she subscription to wildlife magazine would be delivered today.
As she left the coop and turns toward her red mailbox, the mailbox in front of her house jumps like it has been hit by magic, but only for a moment.
Fluttershy, who doesn’t witness what happened, takes her time and opens the box with her hooves. Instead of the magazine she has expected, she finds an envelope.
“A letter? Who’s going to write to me?” Mutters Fluttershy as she reaches for the envelope and sift through her thoughts:
Her parents? That’s highly unlikely. She only came home to visit them last week.
Her brother? it seems even more impossible that he would not think of writing to her for two or three months.
The wildlife Conservation Society? It seems possible that they would come to inform her of the new SPCA meeting.
Um… …UH, Discord? Um…It is true that he loves to write to her most, but it is Tuesday, and he can come to the tea party at noon today and say something in person if he has anything want to say. Although that doesn’t mean he won’t write to her before then, after all… …It’s not like he hasn’t written her a dozen times a week.
When Fluttershy’s hooves touches the envelope, she feels something she rarely felt: Magic.
“What…” She is sure that in an instant a spell has penetrate her whole body through one end of her skin.
As a Pegasus , Fluttershy has had very little contact with magic, most of it coming from the harmony magic that centered around her friend Twilight, a sense of comfort and complete harmony. Fluttershy doesn’t know magic, but she knows she just feel a different wave, a moment that reminds her of another most important friend: Discord.
Fluttershy’s heart lightens at the thought that it might be a letter from Discord, which has recently become less epistolary, not that their relationship has cooled, but that he is more enthusiastic and wants more to promote their relationship. So he always come right up to her. Of course, Fluttershy still loves his letters, and the letter from Discord always make her days better, because his letters always bring her the strangest and the most different world.
She gently takes the letter out of the envelope and unfurls it with her hoof.
Her heart waits in secret for the joy that Discord is ready to share with her.
She begins to look at the first line of the letter:
My Dearest Bluttershy:
First of all, please forgive me if I misspell your name, because my chaotic and complex brain is staring to get out of control, and my memory seems to be starting to mess up.
But I promise when i write your name, it will still be your lovely face.
Anyway, I want you to read it in its entirety, typo or not typo. Of course, I know you never ignore my letters.
So how long has it been since we last saw each other? My math has always been muddled, but I’m sure it’s over billion years. Well, I remember that the greatest mystery of ponies was only a thousand years ago, but you can understand it this way: many, many, many, many, many thousand years. Oh, don’t worry. It’s not a prank I give you. Trust me ,I will never talk about time in front of you.
To get back to the point, since we haven’t seen each other in a long long time, and I already have a hunch about something, I decide to writhe you a letter, you see, you are my best friend, the honor is yours, of course!
Oh, you must be wondering where I am now, well I’m in the center of the universe, surrounded by stars like the Sun, and it’s hot as a frying pan, and there’s a bunch of cracking explosions, and you ask what that is? Honey, don’t worry, it’s just the galaxy explosion hurt me? Ha Ha Ha, OH dear, you are so cute, let’s just say I am the cause of their explosion, you know, I am the chaos, when the chaos is too much, they can not bear. Wait! Wait! Wait!!! You're not gonna be mad! Scout’s honor!! There are no living creatures left in these systems! So, Don’t be sad! Please!!
Hey, you want to know how I’m dong? You really are the sweetest! Well, like I said! I’m the middle of everything! It’s got everything! Especially the chaos! There’s chaos everywhere! And how I’m bigger than a couple of star systems combines! Oh, you don’t have to think about how big I am, if paper in front of me, I will make myself the same size as before! I don’t want you to tell me I have gotten fat!
Have I made any new friends? That’s exactly what you are gonna ask! Of course the answer is yes! Who am I! I am the lord of chaos! As long as I want the whole universe to be my friend! You see, after you… …after you came to your end, I left Equestria, Hey! You can't be mad at me for this! At least... At least I helped sparky beat a few more villains before I left! Anyway, I left! No reason! Then I went to another galaxy and met many different species, such as humans and other cartoon characters and Imperial Stormtroopers and some Transformers.
AH! you know, even with so many species, I’m still the most special one!
None of them can be as incredible as me!
What…friend? Okay, Okay, I know you won’t leave me alone until I say this. Well, maybe the triangle cookie and I are friends, we’re a lot alike, aren’t we? And we play tricks in each other. Or that Q? Oh…No, It’s actually a part of me, but what does it matter? I can totally be friends with myself!
Fine! I can feel you gaze! Stop it!
I admit I haven’t made any new friends! No! It’s not my fault! None of the guys I met have been as patient as you have! I had only pranked them a few times and they thought I was the enemy! Look! I just turned their ship’s fuel into chocolate mike! What was the big deal! You have never been mad at me! Seriously, Fluttershy. you don’t really think there is a second person in the universe who can stand me? Huh? You are saying this is because I didn’t give them a chance? How can you say that!! It’s no fair! You didn’t keep me happy always! How dare you ask me to find a new friend after you abandoned me!!
Oh…. No! That’s not what I am writing this letter to say! Fluttershy……I am sorry……I’m just upset. I have been upset ever since you left me. It was the first time I realized what it was like to have your heart broken, to lose it and it hurt so much, Fluttershy, that my three hearts died over and over again, and you were’t even in my dreams anymore.
I know it is called “ letting go of the past”. but what if I can’t? I am a mess. How can I do what others say is “right”? I only go in the worst direction, Fluttershy you really are the worst thing that’s ever happened to me in my life, you see, you make me not like myself again and again, you make me find a straight line in the mess, what a terrible thing! And to top it all off, you threw me to the wolves so easily. Seriously, is “death” better looking and sexier than me?
I really tried, Fluttershy, trying to get myself to do something else to get my mind back to just chaos again. But I can't go back. I can't go back, Fluttershy. No matter where I go, even if I land on a planet ten star systems away from Equstria, I'll always think of you, a flower, a butterfly, a nice day, not to mention a pot of tea, as long as they're there It's like I forgot about you, and I'm back to square one.
And I tried Obliviate, and I just pulled out the memory of one of our tea parties, and then I went down to a wizard's basement to get it back, and by the way, the wizard's Phoenix looks familiar. And then I realized, even if it is just a little bit, just a little bit of memory I don’t want to lose, Fluttershy, I couldn’t talk about you to anyone but myself, what could I do except play our memories over and over again?
Oh, I stayed in Equstria for hundreds of years trying to find your reincarnation, Ha, reincarnation, now look at this stupid! I've lived so long! If you're gonna be reincarnated, why didn't I meet you in the first one! Fluttershy, there's only one you in the whole universe. You see, there can never be two butterflies exactly alike, can there. So I gave up.
Fluttershy, there is something I won’t say, and I’m not going to say it now, even after all this time, the friendship and kindness you have shown me is something I wouldn’t want to destroy with anything.
Because breaking thing is what I do best, and I don’t know if it’s gonna ruin our past. I'm not willing to risk it. “The greatest adventurer in the universe” can't do it.
Forgive me for not being a "better draconequus" , as you said at the end, to make more friends, to enjoy all the time in my life. I lost our promise.
But it doesn't matter, right? Because it’s all over now, it’s come to that moment.
Fluttershy, don’t cry, you know your tears are the only thing that can make me miserable.
Can i ask you for a FlutterHug? Just like old times.
I know you’d give it to me.
Fluttershy, i will miss you. I never stopped thinking about you.
I LOVE YOU.
I DO LOVE YOU
your best friend forever:
DISCORD
Fluttershy finishes reading the letter, but her brain is unable to think.
She doesn’t know what to say or do, and her cheeks are messed up with her own tears.
Then she heard what she wants to hear:
“Fluttershy, Do you……”
Almost instantaneously, she flies into Discord, who has just arrive here.
She gives him the biggest and strongest hug of her life, and bursts into tears.
On the other side of time, in the center of it all, Discord feels a hug he thought he has forgotten.
Don’t you remember? How is that possible.
At the last moment, his complex, chaotic, never ending brain is quite and peaceful for the first time, and everything else is gone, except for the one smile he knows best, and Discord laughs, too.
Then there is the explosion, the explosion of all the galaxies in sight, along with himself.
Everything begins and ends in chaos.
And a new universe will be born here.
