You Had to Say It
“Why, this is such a great day! The birds in the sky, the fishes in the stream, the bees in the air! How could anything go wrong?”
“No!” Twilight and Pinkie Pie looked at each other, and then at Discord, who was still stunned by the reaction.
“What?” Discord scratched his head. “Is there any problem?”
Pinkie narrowed her eyes, “You never challenge Lady Fate! She’s an old meanie who always do nasty things!”
“Uh…” Twilight scratched her head. “I was just gonna say it’s bad luck. But thinking about it, the last time I did that I almost destroyed Ponyville…”
Pinkie gasped, “Wait, you said that too? Are you crazy?”
“Actually, I was so happy at the time I made a song about it…”
Eyes bulging, Pinkie screamed, “What!”
“Girls, girls.” Discord looked at Pinkie Pie. “There is no ‘Lady Fate’. I, of all people, would know. And this whole tempting fate thing is just a bunch of hogwash, a …”
“Twitchy tail!”
“Huh?” Discord looked at Pinkie, failing to notice a stone in the middle of the path. It caught the gap in his cloven hoof, sending him into the air, arms flailing like chicken wings, directly into the stream.
Giggling, Pinkie said, “I tried to warn you.”
“Please.” Discord dislodged a fish from his ear. “It was just a coincidence, nothing more.”
Twilight shook her head slowly, holding back a giggle of her own. “I don’t think there is much coincidence when Pinkie is involved. Trust me, I learned the hard way.”
“Why, you, the miss ‘everything has an explanation’, defending…” Discord’s eyebrows shot up, his lip curling in a smile. Climbing out of the stream, he shot amused glances at both mares. “Oh, I see. You are trying to trick me. Pinkie does the distracting, and then the high and mighty Twilight uses her princessly magic to prank me and say it’s a coincidence. Well played, but it won’t work again.”
“No, silly, I would never…” Pinkie rubbed her chin. “Wait, I would totally prank you. But I’m not doing it right now. Really, truly, sincerely!”
Discord narrowed his eyes. “Do you pinkie promise you had nothing to do with this?”
“No, silly,” Pinkie said amid a giggle, “that is not how the promise works. I can’t promise something that already happened.”
“Then I don’t believe you.” Discord got to the center of the road, legs apart, arms raised as if to grab the sky, carefully watching both mares. “Nothing can go wrong, nothing can go wrong, nothing can go wrong. Done. Now let’s see this ‘Lady Fate’ do anything.”
“Uh, Discord…”
“Good try, having Twilight distract me this time, but no. I’m not taking my eyes out of you both.”
“I would look behind if I was you.”
“So Twilight can do something to me? No, Pinkie, I’m not falling —”
The two mares jumped into the stream, panic in their faces, leaving behind an utterly confused Discord. He slowly turned…
“Ow, my head. Did anyone get the plate of… whatever it was that hit me?”
“Here.” Twilight threw something square atop the bed. “The wagon was reduced to kindling anyway, so Caramel let me have it.”
Discord rolled his eyes and looked around. He was in a large circular room, the decoration looking like something he would do when he had a sweet tooth. He was in a bed with blue and pink sheets, balloons floating above his head, an arm and a leg in a cast. “Wait, why I’m here? Shouldn’t I be in a hospital, or at Fluttershy’s cottage?”
“Well,” Twilight shifted, looking down, “the hospital didn’t want you there; they said it would be stressful for the other patients. And fluttershy is at Canterlot, helping Luna tame a cockatrice.”
“Don’t you worry, Discord!” Pinkie climbed the stairs into the room. “I can take care of you. I already got a ‘Get Well Soon’ party planned, you see, and Gummy can keep you company, and…”
“Oh, goodness.” Discord inhaled slowly. “Can this day get any worse?”
“No!” Twilight and Pinkie Pie looked at each other, and then at Discord, who was still stunned by the reaction.
“What?” Discord scratched his head. “Is there any problem?”
Pinkie narrowed her eyes, “You never challenge Lady Fate! She’s an old meanie who always do nasty things!”
