Memories
"Yes Fluttershy, I did change Luna's mane back albeit only after 10 hours of listening to the royal canterlot voice." Giving a hearty laugh, he took a sip of chocolate milk from his cup, the draconequus glanced at the amber amber pegasus smiling at him from the other side of the table.
That smile…
"Hmm, that one over there looks like a puppy" Gesturing with his lion paw towards a fluffy cream white cloud, Discord leaned against the ancient oak tree behind him. Fluttershy was right, this hill is a good place to look at clouds.
"Uhm, I don't think it looks like a puppy, but uhm, maybe it is because you're more imaginative." The pegasus squeaked while looking down at the lush green grass.
"What about now?" With a snap of his talons, the cloud began shifting, with bits and pieces of it pulling themselves free and joining together until the cloud turned into the shape of a puppy chasing its own tail. Seeing this, Fluttershy started to giggle.
Oh how he missed that sound…
Small, tiny crystals of snow gently fell from the sky, covering the ground in a thick layer of snow. Hiding from the pegasus behind a tree, Discord scooped up a pile of snow and patted it into the rough shape of a sphere. Peeking out from behind the tree, he saw Fluttershy looking around with a pile of snowballs at her feet. Hmm…that's an idea.
"Surprise!" Jumping out from behind the tree, the draconequus launched the snow projectile at the pegasus's face. Before she could pick up a snowball, Discord snapped his fingers sending all the snowballs in the pile shooting up at her face, burying her. Seeing the pile of snow where the yellow pegasus was only a few seconds ago, Discord laughed his head off. A splat and a sudden chill on the side of his neck cut his laughter short. Turning to look at the direction the projectile had come from to see a rabbit, his cream coloured coat against the snowy background making him practically invisible.
Scooping up more snow to make a snowball, Discord found himself getting buried as Fluttershy started picking up snow from pile she was buried under and throwing snow at Discord without bothering to pack into a sphere. Angel took this opportunity to throw more snowballs at Discord. Under the combined barrage, Discord threw his hands in the air, laughing, and admitted defeat. It was a funny scene, a rabbit with a snowball held high above its head, a half buried pegasus and a completely snowed in spirit of disharmony.
Had it really been so long ago? It seems like it was only last winter…
Looking up at the night sky, Discord couldn't help but be in awe of the brilliant display that is going on, Twilight wasn't joking when she said that this was an event that you shouldn't miss, but then again she wouldn't know a joke if it took away her horn.
Against the background of the star filled sky, the shooting stars were simply beautiful. By his side, Fluttershy was entranced by the display and even Angel stopped hopping around to watch the show. The meteor shower started off slowly at first, with only one or two white dots zipping across the sky before hiding behind the horizon, but now hundreds of shooting stars were zooming past every second, filling the entire sky with little streaks of light which last for only a few seconds.
"I never thought it would be so beautiful," Fluttershy whispered to nopony in particular.
"Yes it is quite a wonder to behold… What are you doing Fluttershy?" The pegasus had her eyes shut, which surprised the draconequus as he thought that nopony would choose to block out this view
"Well, according to legends, if you wish upon a falling star, that wish will come true. What do you wish for Discord? Uhm,I mean if you are okay with me that is, I understand if you don't." The last of her words were barely audible and came out really quickly.
One wish…
"My dears Fluttershy, you really should take better care of yourself. Here, I prepared some soup for you." Lifting the soup filled spoon to the pegasus's mouth, Discord looked at his best friend. He never really thought of her as anything other than a young, cheerful yet shy pegasus but it was times like these, when she had that weary look in her eyes, her shoulders slouched, her mane and tail drooped ever so slightly and she just lay in bed, her only movements the rising and falling of her chest that reminded him that she was mortal, prone to getting sick, growing old and eventually passing on. The thought of that worried him, he had a lot of fun times with her and he didn't want it to end with him burying her.
"Thank you Discord." Fluttershy's words broke that particularly negative train of thought and brought Discord back to the present. It's okay, he thought to himself,don't worry, she's still here, I still got her, don't waste any time worrying about losing her to death because then you'll lose her to all that worrying. Scooping up another spoonful of soup for her, Discord forced himself to smile at the pegasus.
"I really appreciate it Discord, knowing that you'll always be there for me."
Yes…I'll be there for you…
After taking a bite of the sandwich, Discord resumed his conversation with Fluttershy. They were talking about how things were going on in their life, whether about the animals Fluttershy took care off or the pranks Discord was playing on the two royal sisters. The two of them burst out laughing when Discord recounted one his more recent escapade , which involved a lot of firecrackers, teleportation and ponies too engrossed in their conversations to notice a draconequus placing something under their chair. Their laughter was rudely cut short when a bowl containing salad bounced off the back of Discord's head. Turning around, the spirit of disharmony found himself glaring down at a particularly annoying rabbit. The rabbit took out a cookbook and pointed at a picture of a mouth watering cake. Rolling his eyes, Discord snapped his fingers and with a loud pop, a cake with a large candle in the middle appeared in front of the rabbit. The rabbit immediately began taking large bites out of the cake, leaving the draconequus and pegasus in peace.
"So Discord, what is your most recent prank?"
"Oh it's nothing much, a spur of the moment thing really. I replaced a certain candle with a firecracker." No sooner had those words left his mouth than a loud "BANG" could be heard just behind him. Looking over Discord's shoulder, Fluttershy saw a rather surprised bunny shaking his head before giving a laughing draconequus a death glare. Seeing that Angel was okay, Fluttershy heaved a sigh of relief and started giggling.
Oh what wonderful times, I wish they never had to end.
Passing Fluttershy the roll of bandages, Discord watched as she carefully wrapped up the Bird's wing, taking extra care to not mess up the feathers. "Okay, your wing should be fully healed by the end of the week, just don't use it and just spend the next few days resting." With a nod, the rose red bird began hopping away, its place in front of Fluttershy being taken over by a squirrel with a cold.
"Discord, can you be a dear get me the blue bottle in my medicine cabinet?" Fluttershy called over her shoulder as she attended to the squirrel.
"I much rather be a dragon but alright." He chuckled as he walked up to the cabinet and opened it, scanning its shelves until he laid eyes on the blue bottle. Passing the bottle to Fluttershy, Discord watched as she tended to the squirrel, a long line of animals were still lined up behind it it would take a least half a day to treat all of them. Only the element of kindness would do this and things like this show others that Fluttershy is a kind soul, always there to help out those in need.
You deserved better…
Sitting with in front of the fireplace, Fluttershy and Discord were having a nice chat while trying to stay warm in the freezing weather. Taking another piece of wood, Discord fed it to the crackling flames before resuming his conversation. In his hand he held a cup of chocolate milk with a straw in it. He picked up the straw and began drinking the plastic, leaving only a thin piece of solid chocolate milk left which he promptly took a bite off. Next time to him, sitting by his side was Fluttershy with her usual tea cup, taking dainty sips from her cup and huddled by her side was the white fur ball, Angel, who is sticking his face into the a mug of hot chocolate, when he finally pulled his face from the mug, the fur above his mouth is stained brown, giving him a "moustache". Discord laughed his head off when he saw this while Fluttershy took a napkin and cleaned the hot chocolate off, giggling to herself as she watched Angel pout, he was very cute when he did that. All this just made Discord laugh more and more until he was rolling on the ground, laughing his heart out.
When he finally calmed down and caught his breath, Discord once again sat by the fire, with Fluttershy settling in by his side.. Looking at the scene before him, with Fluttershy lying be his side, her chest slowly rising and falling, one of her azure eyes hidden by her mane while the other stared into the fire, he suddenly felt forlorn and a single tears dropped from one of his mismatched eyes onto the ground next to Fluttershy. Fluttershy, seeing the tear, looked up at Discord and gave him a reassuring smile, while saying,"It's alright"
It's alright…
I've missed you so much…
The Draconequus opened his eyes…
Instantly the setting changed, the warmth of the fireplace disappeared and was replaced with a sudden chill that sent a shiver down Discord's spine, the silence of the cottage was shattered as a wave of pure white noise poured in, coming from the thousands of raindrops that fell all around him in the clearing, like tears that now fell from the draconequus's face. Most unsettling of all was the fact that the warmth of Fluttershy's body by his side was replaced with the frigid, unfeeling coldness of a tombstone. Lightning flashed overhead, allowing Discord a glimpse of the tombstone, it was two spread out peagasus wings forming a "V", with a heart lying on the point where the two wings met, inscribed on the hearts were three butterflies, and the words "Here a kind soul sleeps". Sheltering the tombstone and draconequus was a pink cotton candy cloud, from it a drop of chocolate milk dripped into a glass of chocolate milk, one drop for each minute that he gains and a hole in the bottom of the cup dripped a drop of chocolate milk for every minute that has passed, keeping the milk level perpetually at an inch above the ground. Next to cup sat an empty tea cup.
Standing up, Discord wiped away a few tears from his eyes. Reliving his memories with Fluttershy can be both the happiest and saddest thing in the world. Sigh, he couldn't believe that it has been a decade. Preparing to walk into the rain and leave, something caught Discord's eye. A small shape was flying out of the forest and heading towards him. Lifting his hand out, the small shape landed on Discord's index talon, it was a blue butterfly with pink wings. "It's alright." Those words came to his mind before the butterfly took of, disappearing into the pink cloud above them, causing the chocolate milk to drip onto the ground next to the cup. A nostalgic smile on his lips, the noticeably happier draconequus kissed the tombstone goodbye, before heading off into the rain.
"See you soon."
Behind him, the amount of milk in the cup decreased…
That smile…
"Hmm, that one over there looks like a puppy" Gesturing with his lion paw towards a fluffy cream white cloud, Discord leaned against the ancient oak tree behind him. Fluttershy was right, this hill is a good place to look at clouds.
