Discord was hating every minute of this stupid ball. He had to wear an annoying blue and gold suit that chafed, making him desperately want to snap out of it, but his ¨courtiers,¨ ha! more like minders, refused to let him. Every few seconds, another mare was pushed in front of him that was either an annoying giggler that Discord despised, or an old mare that was more than twice the young draconaqius's age, he was only 16 for goodness sake. The music was boring, the decorations were boring, everything was absolutely, mindnumbingly, boring. Not only that, but everyone considered him so ugly and no mare even wanted to get to know him! The only consilation was Rainbow was having about as much fun as he was in her rediculus poofy gown. The draconoqius did get a kick out of watching the nobles try and fail to get her to apologize to the obmoixious noble colt blue-blood. The stalion had been treating her poorly and in retaliation she stomped on his hoof. However, that was actually much better than what Discord would have done had he been allowed anywhere near the awful stalion. He may tease his sister a lot, but he loved Rainbow very much, and anyone who hurt her would feel his wrath. He actually semi enjoyed himself by scaring away the annoying mares who tried to court him, with one girl, he pretended to be sick.
Discord: A little glass of water please
A fresh pressed hanky if I sneeze
Some tea with honey from the bees
Whenever you can brew it
And while I get a little rest
A teeny tiny small request
Some codfish oil for my chest
Poured from a crystal cruet
My goodness, I'm a nincompoop
Because I fear I've got the croup
I need a vat of pumpkin soup
And scarves made out of zinnias
Did I say zinnias? I meant silk
Or something shiny of that ilk
And then I'll need some nice warm milk
And pastries from Abyssinia
And since my stomach's feeling crummy
Why not give my aching tummy
Something soothing, something yummy
Piled up with noodles?
Add a slice of homemade rye
With stacks of Swiss way up high
Served with sides of sweet mince pie
More basil; I need oodles!
I'll be grateful for your charity
Until the bitter end
Because I've heard that tenderness
Is what you lend an ailing friend
I'd like that glass of water please
Some magic spell to cure disease
A firm "gesundhoof" when I sneeze
A fresh bouquet of roses
Some lozenges will soon appease
My wheezing when I start to sneeze
A wig to keep me from the breeze
And blankets for my toes-es
Take tweezers out of my valise
And then massage my knobby knees
A bowl of peas, some extra cheese
A cuddle with a Pekingese
A singing harp who's named Louise
A goat on skis, a new trapeze
And more and more and more and more of these
Make sure I'm drinking in the right
Amount of fluids day and night
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have just one little thing
Oh, would you please finally bring
Me that tiny glass
Of water?!
The mare huffed and left making Discord grin, when he heard a pop and there was a flash of light that scared him out of his wits. He recovered and stared at the purple alicorn laughing her head off with a very unamused expression on his face. He did find himself cracking a smile though, as he found Twilight to be very good company, though he did wonder what had made her so overjoyed. ¨I have a suprise for you!¨ She said, Discord was about to ask what that meant when he saw Fluttershy, in the purest blue gown and golden horseshoes come down the stairs as everyone stared, Discord included. He pushed the other colts out of the way and was the first to ask her to a dance. Fluttershy was truly enjoying herself and for the first time in years, the weight of her responsebilities was lifted off of her.
Fluttershy: So this is love, mmm
So this is love
So this is what makes life divine
I'm all aglow, mmm
And now I know (and now I know)
The key to all heaven is mine
My heart has wings, mmm
And I can fly
I'll touch every star in the sky
So this is the miracle
That I've been dreaming of
Mmm, mmm
So this is love
However, the miracle was cut short when Fluttershy noticed the clock was nearing midnight and rushed out of the ball. She, Discord, Rainbow, and Twilight had planned what happened next. She galloped out of the palace and ¨acedentily lost one of her 4 glass horse shoes. Twilight had enough magic for the horse shoes to remain intact and then it would be simple. Everything seemed to go as planned until the next morning. Discord had declared he would marry the pony whose hoof fit the glass horseshoe, but everything went down the drain when Adagio found out about Fluttershy's plan. She whipped the pegasus filly and then locked her in the attic. The CMCs managed to escape before they could be locked up too, and struggled to think of a plan, while a sad pegasus languished in her attic, wondering how everything could have gone so wrong.
Fluttershy: I've always dreamed
That my life could be
Like a fairy tale
A perfect fantasy
Everyday a new adventure
On some undiscovered shore
Was it nothing more
Than a dream
Then one magic night
With a single dance
I found more than just a storybook romance
And for once my life was perfect
As we glided across the floor
And it was so much more
So much more than a dream
I could say it never happened
Just a dream from the start
But then I'd live my
Life with a broken heart
'Cause in the Prince's arms
I found a love I can't deny
If there's any chance to set things right
I've simply got to try
So I'll trust my heart
What else can I do?
I can't live in dreams
If my dreams are to come true
There's a better life that's waiting
Past the mountains I must climb
I will take a chance on love
To get my once upon a time
I want so much more
So much more than a dream
Discord and Rainbow arrived at the house and Discord could see that his sister never wanted to go here again. He placed a claw on her shoulder as the pegasus knocked on the door. Adagio opened the door and was exeedingly suprised to see the king with her step daughter she had thought was dead. Rainbow was full of bravado, but seeing that woman that had abused her for so many years stripped it away. Discord was now furious and demanded of the woman, ¨WHERE IS FLUTTERSHY AND THE OTHER FILLIES YOU HELD CAPTIVE IN THIS HOUSE!? A bewildered Adagio was about to speak when Fluttershy and the CMCs came running over to the door, all of them sporting bruises, which made discord scowl at Adagio all the more. Fluttershy trotted over and tried the shoe on, the glass horse shoe easily slipping onto her hoof. She then revealed the other 3 horseshoes she had been hiding until that point, making Rainbow guffaw, and Twilight teleported in at the very last minute and this time changed Fluttershy's rags into a beautiful green nature themed gown, though this time it would not wear off at midnight or noon. The three vile mares were imprisoned in the dungon, and Fluttershy and the CMCs moved to the palace with Rainbow and Discord, and Fluttercord eventually got married. Twilight returned to her own kingdom, but she visited often and remained good friends with the royal family of equestria.
Fluttershy: And you're always free to begin again
And you're always free to believe
When you find the place that your heart belongs
You'll never leave
Rainbow: You and I will always be
Celebrating life together
Both: I know I have found a friend forevermore
Fluttershy: Love is like a melody
One that I will always treasure
Rainbow: Courage is the key that opens every door
Both: Though you may not know where your gifts may lead
And it may not show at the start
When you live your dream, you'll find destiny
Is written in your heart
All: Though you may not know where your gifts may lead
And it may not show at the start
When you live your dream, you'll find destiny
Is written in your heart
