> Flurry Heart’s Bad Day > by Badguy400 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter One: A Terrible Start to a Terrible Day > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the Crystal Empire there was darkness. Reason is because the sun hasn’t risen yet, and it’s still nighttime. But eventually; the sun began to rise, and the lights from it began to shine into the Crystal kingdom. In the Royal bedroom there were the parents; fast asleep, and awaiting to be awoken by the light that’s about to shine in the bedroom. As for the Royal Baby bedroom however; the light from there took a little longer, but it eventually shone into the bedroom. As the sun shines into the room, the Royal baby was happily dreaming about the best time of her life: spending some quality time with her auntie Twilight. Unfortunately; right as soon as she was about to finish her dream, she was rudely awoken by a loud bang that came from outside her room. Startled, and rudely woken from her sleep and dream, she began crying. The parents rushed in to see that Flurry Heart is okay, but that source of the noise is still yet unknown. “Oh, my poor baby”, said Cadence whom was also awoken abruptly. “Did that mean old noise startle you? C’mere..” she says as she spreads out her hooves. Flurry Heart responded with magically teleporting to her mom’s hooves, and starts hugging her whilst still crying. “Cmon”, Cadence began; “let’s get you some breakfast. I’m sure that we can get through with this day, okay?” Flurry Heart sniffled, wipes away her tears with one of her own forehooves, and babbles; “owkay”, before leaning against her mom and sucking on one of her own forehooves again. At the breakfast table; Flurry Heart is still fidgeting a little from being rudely woken up from her dream so abruptly. “Cmon Sweetie”, Cadence said in a slight annoyed but still caring voice; “you need to hold still so I can seat you down in your seat. Please?” Flurry Heart listened, and allowed her mom to seat her down in her high chair. Still; regardless of whether she was seated or not, Flurry Heart is still fidgeting. After five minutes; Flurry Heart began to calm down slightly, but was still angry that her dream was interrupted by some mean noise that came out of nowhere. Cadence then began to bring out a jar of mashed peas, and scooped some up for her daughter. “Open wide Flurry; here comes the num nums.” Cadence said in a motherly tone. Flurry however wasn’t buying it, and then made a disgusted face whilst saying; “bleh! Dat yucky. Ew.” Cadence sighs; knowing that her own daughter will never get used to the taste of them. But then eventually gets an idea, and says; “if you finish your meal, then I’ll get you something sweet to eat. What do you say?” Flurry Heart’s eyes grew wide, and then bounced in her high chair with excitement whilst thinking about her day finally going good for once. However; she’ll soon later learn that that won’t be the case for long... . > Chapter Two: A Not so Fun Playtime > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flurry Heart is all happy and excited; mainly because she’s had a very sweet dessert when she finished her mashed peas. She was also glad that it gotten rid of the bad taste from it. However... what she doesn’t know is that her day is just about to get a whole lot more worse from here on out... “Alright Flurry”, Cadence started to ask lovingly; “you ready for playtime?” Flurry Heart clapped her hooves and shouted; “yay!” before bouncing up and down with excitement. “Alright”, Cadence began again; “let’s play.” However; before they could play; Cadence began to look a little confused; as she couldn’t seem to find any toys in Flurry Heart’s toy chest. She turns to her husband and asks; “uh honey? Where’s Flurry’s toys?” Shining Armor then replies with; “oh.. her toys? Um... I threw them away.” Flurry Heart was about to cry, but Cadence then says; “you did what?!” in a small fit of rage. Shining Armor then quickly explained; “I had no choice! It’s either that, or have our daughter expire from the recalled toys.” Cadence’s eyes grew wide as she remembered something, and says; “oohhh... right. Heh; my bad.” After that; Flurry Heart began crying. After five minutes; Flurry Heart calmed down, and was busy suckling on a pacifier for the time being. Unfortunately; this is just another part of her bad day. And something deep inside tells her that it’s gonna get really bad from there on out.... > Chapter Three: A Not so Relaxing Day > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flurry Heart is lying in her bed; contemplating as to how her day went like this. Was it Discord? Was it King Sombra’s return? Or... was it all a dream? Unfortunately; she decided to prove the last theory by hitting herself with her hoof on one of her forehooves, (or arm I should say). It hurt as expected, and she began to cry. But after a few minutes, she began to calm down; seeing as to how it’s no use to cry; especially when your parents have locked you in your own bedroom with nothing else to do than to calm down and relax. So; with no other option; Flurry Heart began to lay her head down on her bed, and tries her best to try to relax. Sadly; no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t seem to get comfortable enough to relax. She tried to do a trick with her pacifier by flipping it into her mouth by tossing it in the air. That didn’t work, and it landed on her face. With a whimper, she stuck her pacifier back into her mouth, and began sucking on it again. She tries to use her magic to blast one of her paintings for fun. But she didn’t do it anyways; as she recalled the last time that she did that, and her parents were so angry that they just left her in her playpen for what felt like many hours on end; even though it’s been only one hour in total. Finally; she thought of actually pooping her pants just for fun. She tried, but felt nothing as she’s not ready to do so yet. With a sigh of defeat, she just flopped right down on her bed, and just stared endlessly at her ceiling while suckling her pacifier in order to try to relieve her boredom. Surprisingly enough; she was so bored, that she didn’t even notice that she had fallen asleep. Now... with Flurry Heart fast asleep; she’s pretty much hoping that if she were to wake up next time, then her day will get a lot more better afterwards. Unfortunately... she’ll soon figure out that it won’t be the case; no matter how hard she’ll try to ignore it.... > Chapter Four: An Awful Night > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After a few hours have passed, Flurry Heart woke up; albeit groggily since she just got up. Still feeling stiff from sleep, she tries stretching; after rubbing the sleep from her eyes first of course. She heard and felt a pop; mainly because she was not only stretching her hooves, but also her wings as well. With a slight discomfort and pain coming from one of her stretched wings, she began crying, but softly this time as she was still in a slight bit of pain from her stretched wing. Afterwards; she began to see if the door was unlocked. She soon found out that it was, but something was off... . How? Well for starters; she doesn’t hear anything. Secondly; the atmosphere seemed; eery. And lastly; she could somehow sense that something was wrong, but couldn’t figure out what... . However... as Flurry Heart was about to call out for her parents, her parents have already beaten her to it; by scaring her. This made Flurry Heart scream and cry because of that prank. Cadence giggled and says in a motherly tone; “sorry honey, hehe. But it was just too funny to not perform. You’d understand right?” Flurry Heart has now gotten cranky after that, and decides to hit her mom in the muzzle; which didn’t hurt at all. “Now now Flurry,” says Shining Armor from behind his wife; “there’s no need for violence. And cmon now; it’s funny; right?” Flurry Heart wasn’t having it, and just made a noise to signify that she was indeed cranky, and not happy about it whilst crossing her arms/hooves. Both of the parents just sighed, and then Shining Armor says, “we’re sorry honey. Now cmon..” he began as he starts reaching for his daughter; “let’s get you something to eat huh? What do you say?” Flurry Heart responded by smacking her father’s hooves, and flying away aggressively. With that in mind; both of the parents led their daughter to the kitchen so she can be fed. Once everyone has arrived to the kitchen; the parents then proceeded to put Flurry Heart into her high chair again, and went off to go get everyone something to eat. Meanwhile; Flurry Heart is just angry at this point, and starts thrashing about angrily because of her mood. Once dinner was finished; albeit hastily due to the fact that their daughter was still unhappy; the parents have decided to just leave their daughter alone for the remainder of the day/night. Unfortunately; they’ll soon find out that this night is gonna get a whole lot worse... . > Chapter Five: Heart Attack > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flurry Heart; still angry about her parents’ prank, goes to her pile of toys, and attempts to play with them. But unfortunately; due to her anger boiling over; she’s now smashing her toys on the ground, and throwing them everywhere; albeit not at her parents of course. “Woah”, said Shining Armor from the sidelines; “I didn’t expect our daughter to hate us that badly for it.” Cadence responded with a glare to her husband, and states; “well... I technically did tell you that it was a bad idea.” Shining Armor replies with; “no you didn’t.” And then Cadence responded with; “well yeah... . But that was after we pranked her. And besides...”. Flurry Heart was too busy with her “anger problems” that she didn’t notice that her parents were fighting.. yet. Cadence continues with; “... it’s called common sense. You should’ve stopped me you know, and then stopped yourself.” Shining Armor then replies back to his wife with; “true.. but then again Cadence, it was your idea. So don’t you even dare bring me into this.” Both Cadence and Shining Armor then touched faces with each other, and began staring each other down with low growls emanating from them as they did so. With Flurry Heart now done wrecking her toys; she then turned to look and see what that commotion was in the background; only to see that both of her parents are mad at each other. With that in mind, she let out a sad whimper; hoping that her parents don’t do anything hurtful to each other; as she has unfortunately heard them fight before. She doesn’t know how that she can sense it, but she can tell right then and there that if there’s anymore fights like this, then there won’t be a mommy and daddy anymore. Both parents; having just heard their daughter whine; turned to look at her with mad looks. But it soon faded as they then saw their daughter looking like that she was on the verge of tears. With that in mind; both parents said their apologies, hugged each other with slight tears in their eyes, and began to go back to their daughter’s room to calm her down. Once they went into the room; they then sat down on Flurry Heart’s bed, and looked at her whilst one of them is calming her down. With Flurry Heart whimpering, Cadence then said whilst calming her baby in a motherly tone; ssssshhhhh, it’s alright Flurry Heart, calm down. There’s no need to cry now. We’re not fighting anymore; it’s okay.” Flurry Heart made some sad noises, then starts to try to wipe one of her tear filled eyes so she can try to calm herself down. Shining Armor then said; “yeah sweetie, so quit your crying now; you’re alright. Calm down, you’re okay now; I promise.” Flurry Heart wriggled around because she was still feeling cranky, and nods whilst sniffling because she’s not completely calm just yet. “M-me had bad day”, Flurry Heart whined. Shining Armor sighs, and then says, “I know baby; mommy and daddy had a bad day too. But hey, it’s okay. Do you know why?” Flurry Heart shook her head no at that response, and then her dad replies; “because we have each other. Because with family; everyday is a good day; even the bad ones. You get it now?” Flurry Heart shook her head no again and sucks on one of her forehooves. “You will eventually”, Shining Armor said as he then leaned into his daughter, and raspberried her belly; causing Flurry Heart to laugh from that action. With Flurry Heart all calm now; everypony then went to bed, and hoped for a better day tomorrow; which actually happened. The end.
