~~~~With Fluttershy~~~~
Pink Diamond and CCC were taking measurements for Fluttershy's dress as they were talking about what might happen at the gala and the handsome princes that will be there.
"I suggest NOT dancing with Prince Blueblood because he's a real jerk!! He may look like a Prince Charming, but he's so selfish!!!" Said Pink Diamond as she was looking through her rack of fabrics.
"He may be a jerk, but do you know who is an absolute gentlemen?! Prince Sebastian Michaelis!!" CCC squealed in her chair and accidentally fell over.
(A/N a reference to any one who is a black butler fan!!!! And he will be coming to the gala!!!! 😄 also I DO NOT OWN HIM!!! HE BELONGS TO THE BLACK BUTLER SERIES!!!!)
"Oh yes!! I met him before!! And you're right, he is a gentlemen. But Ana has a crush on him ever since we went to our first gala. There's no doubt maybe he'll ask to dance with her. But the gala is not only about dancing, there are tons of wonderfully prepared foods made and Pinkie said that she's helping the head chef make deserts!! And the zap Apple cake will be made!!" Pink Diamond squealed.
Fluttershy smiled at her two crazy friends, but she couldn't help but think about what Celestia had said about 'terrible things' and the one couple that suffered the consequences that followed when they broke the rule. She knew that she shouldn't be over thinking it, but it was bothering her a lot!! What if this starts happening to her and Discord?
'No, impossible! Discord only sees me as a friend.....right?' Fluttershy thought.
"Fluttershy, are you alright darling?" Pink Diamond asked.
Fluttershy looked up at Pink Diamond who she and CCC had a concerned look on their face.
"Yes Pink Diamond. I'm fine." Fluttershy replied.
"Are you sure? You seem a little bit down in the dumps!!" Said CCC as she hung upside down from the ceiling.
"Yes, I'm sure. It's just..............-" Fluttershy began to say but stopped herself, whether or not she wants to tell Pink Diamond and CCC everything that has been happening.
"Ooooooooh!! Someone has a secret!!!" CCC said as she got down from the ceiling.
"A secret?! You must tell us!! And once you mention it, it has to be told!! Don't worry Fluttershy we won't tell anybody!!" Said Pink Diamond as she and CCC got closer to Fluttershy.
"O-Ok......I......I think.......I THINK THAT IM IN LOVE WITH DISCORD!!!!!!" Fluttershy quietly exclaimed.
The girls gasped.
"You....and Discord....IN LOVE?!?!?!?" Pink diamond exclaimed as she fell over a chair that was behind her.
"Ohmygosh!!! Ohmygosh!!! Ohmygosh!!! You love Discord that's so cute!!!! But what if he loves you? And then tells you? *gasps* what if you guys got married?!?!" Said CCC as she ran across the room in circles.
Fluttershy blushed when CCC said all those things.
"CCC, this is really serious!! You know the only law in this land!! If that breaks, we're all going to Tartarus with the Jabberwocky!!!"said Pink Diamond as she covered CCC's mouth.
"Tartarus?" Fluttershy asked.
"Translation: absolute hell." CCC muffled over Pink Diamond's hand.
"Darling, I.....I don't know what to say to this. I'm happy that you're in love, I really am!! If it wasn't for that stupid rule, I wouldn't be worried!! Has anyone told you of the consequences that follows?" Pink Diamond asked.
"A-Actually, yes! This woman named Celestia appeared into my room this morning and told me I should not fall in love. Even though I understood why I shouldn't, but I can't stop feeling so.....so-"Fluttershy said before she broke into tears.
"Oh Fluttershy, don't cry darling. We've all been there before!" Said Pink Diamond as she handed her a tissue.
"Except this is a life or death situation." CCC muttered.
Pink Diamond heard what she said and elbowed her in the stomach.
"B-But I don't know who to talk to about this!! Maybe you guys haven't had the feeling before and probably can't help me!"Fluttershy said as she cried into Pink Diamond's shoulder.
"WAIT!!! Do you know who you can talk to? Rhythm Rose!!!" Said CCC.
(A/N scootaloo2345 OC)
"Oh yes!! Rhythm Rose!!! She's that immortal fortune teller, right?" Pink Diamond asked.
"Correct!! She knows everything!!! The past, the present, and the future!! She's also great in giving advice!!" Said CCC.
"She can help you with this big'ol mess!!" Said CCC.
Fluttershy looked up at her friends.
"W-When do I meet her?" Fluttershy asked.
Her face was wet from the tears and her eyes were red and puffy.
"Actually, she lives right next door to us. Just knock on the side of her door to make sure that she's there, sometimes she off into the wilderness doing who knows what!" Said Pink Diamond.
Fluttershy got up and started walking toward the door. Pink Diamond and CCC pointed to where it was, and they were right! It's literally right next door! She saw a tall dark blue building that was somewhat tilted to its side and their was a wooden sign that said 'Rhythm Rose' in a purple curly font. Fluttershy went up to the door and gave it a gentle knock.
"Who is it?" Rhythm Rose asked.
"I-It's Fluttershy. I need to see you, p-please?" Said Fluttershy as she still had to wipe the tears from her face.
"Oh yes!! Come in, come in sweet child take a seat and relax!! For I will tell you the past, the present, and the future!!" Said Rhythm Rose as she took a seat at small table in the middle of the room.
Rhythm Rose had long pink and blue hair in a ponytail with a black and blue sash going around her forehead. Her skin was with like Ana's and she had red eyes, she wore a long light silky blue dress that reached the floor and pink flats. The inside of her room was quite strange, there were roses everywhere and some shelves that had these thin plastic boxes that says CD on it. Some were bigger than that and they said Record on it. Fluttershy was very confused on what those boxes were, but she didn't came for the objects.
"T-Thank you Rhythm Rose. I heard that you're really good at giving advice and I need to talk to you about something that has been bothering me lately." Said Fluttershy as she took a seat at the small table.
"Ah let me guess, it's about that 'Discord' of yours and the law of Wonderland yes?" Rhythm Rose asked.
"Y-Yes! H-How?" Fluttershy began to ask but Rhythm Rose cut her off.
"I told you dear! I know everything!! Now I know that you're here to solve your little 'love' problem, yes?" Rhythm Rose asked.
Fluttershy nodded.
"Well then, all of your questions will be answered! But before you could know about the future, you need to learn about the past!!" Said Rhythm Rose she poured some white dust in her hands.
She blew on the dust and smoke came out and started to circle around the two girls at the table. And when the white smoke was circling around them, Rhythm Rose started to tell the tale about why the rule of Wonderland is very important. And the smoke created little scenes of what happened long ago. Fluttershy listened to every word with full focus.
"A long time ago when Wonderland was very young, there lived a handsome king who was dark as the night, and a beautiful queen who shined like the day. The king and queen had two beautiful daughters that brought joy to them in their lives. One day, on the daughters' 16th birthday, one of the princesses found a man in the forest, who was very confused by his surroundings. The princess told the man where he was, and he said that he was from your world!! As cliche as it sound, it was love at first sight!
The two talked all day and all night, going to have fun in the day and dance when night falls. One day after quite some time, the man and the princess wanted to be with each other forever and ever until the end of time. He proposed to her and the princess gladly said yes to him. But as the rule goes for Wonderland, terrible things happen to those who upset the balance between Wonderland and the real world. Before the two lovebirds could get married, the king and queen sadly died before the other princess could be crowned queen.
The two princesses mourned for their parents and the entire kingdom was affected as well. As one princess cried for the lost of their dear parents the other looked for her loved one and he comforted her through her time of grief. But at the same time, the man began to have pains in his head and chest that stung worse then a million bee stings. He thought it was nothing and he continued on with his life. But after a very short period of time, the Jabberwocky broke out of its imprisonment and ate and burned all of Wonderland and every single living thing in it!!
People howled in pain and in grief as they were watching people they loved and the home they live in being burnt down into ashes!! But the two princesses used the inner magic that the parents carried to their children and used it, to once again imprison the Jabberwocky in its stone confinement and all of Wonderland went back to its beautiful chaotic self. When all of the terror was over, the princess went to look for her lover, but only to find him lying in the exact place where she had found him. He was very pale and weak, and the princess did everything she could to help him get better!!
But sadly, the man died and the princess mourned and cried each night after his death. Ever since then, the people of Wonderland has told and retold the story of the princess who fell in love with a man who lived in reality, and that is how the story still lives to this day." Rhythm Rose explained as the white smoke began to fade away.
After the story was told, Fluttershy began to sob into her hands once the story was over. She felt so sorry and sad for the man and the princess who both had to suffer because they broke Wonderland's only law. I mean, watching the one you love most die because you broke the law can be very depressing and terrifying to witness. As the tears ran down Fluttershy's face, Rhythm Rose handed her some tissues to dry her tears.
"Sad isn't it?" Rhythm Rose asked.
"It truly is!!! I mean, the princess watched the one person she loved the most die right before her very eyes!!!" Said Fluttershy as she dried her tears with the tissues.
"I know. Over my lifetime I've seen happy couples walk into the sunset, share passionate kisses, and get married for love. But the princess had to suffer for her mistake." Said Rhythm Rose.
"Her mistake was falling in love?!?! That's what I'm going through right now!!" Fluttershy exclaimed.
"Her mistake wasn't falling in love. Because love comes in all different sizes and shapes for everyone, the only problem is how the universe works. If it was possible, then the man and the princess would've gotten married and live happily ever after. But the way of the universe prevents us from doing things that may seem abnormal. Remember Fluttershy, everything has a limit. And there's only a little bit of time before you and Discord start to truly suffer the consequences!!" Rhythm Rose explained some more.
"What do you mean by 'truly suffer'?" Fluttershy asked.
Rhythm Rose chuckled.
"You don't get it do you? Those nightmares you've been having, Discord's pains, those are NOTHING to compare for what's in store in the nearby future." Said Rhythm Rose.
"T-Then how do I stop this feeling that I have for Discord?" Fluttershy asked.
"Fluttershy listen to me, you need to prevent yourself from being in love with Discord. I know it may sound sound too difficult to you but trust me!! Love is an emotion that can have a very strong impact on those who surround you, including yourself. Remind yourself that Discord, your friends, and everyone else in Wonderland is hanging in the balance when you decide to fall in love with him, or not. Now I believe it's time for you to be on your way, Discord is waiting for you." Said Rhythm Rose.
Fluttershy looked out of one of her windows to see that Discord was indeed waiting for her. Fluttershy politely aid goodbye and she got up from her chair and headed toward the door. She looked back, but Rhythm Rose was suddenly gone! Fluttershy was confused but she stepped out of the place and her and Discord went home, from after a long day in town.
'Oh dear. If only those two knew what really does happen in the future.' Rhythm Rose thought.
~~~~Time skip~~~~
Discord started to become very worried about Fluttershy, wondering if she was ok. Every second he worried, the pain worsened in his chest and head. It even continued in his sleep, which affected his dreams. He dreamed the same dream he had, except something different happened. At one point in his dream, Discord cried for his dead Fluttershy, but right then and there a bright blue light came from behind him. And as the light grew brghter the nightmare began to fade awayand he was now in what seemed to be a rift in time and space.
The bright light turned into the form of a woman who was as dark as the night but shined a little like the stars. When Discord saw who it was e was surprised but he knew who she was.
"Luna?! The guardian of the night. W-What are you doing here?" Discord asked.
"Discord, i came to see you because there is omething really important that i need to tell you! It's about the feeling you have for Fluttershy. And I'm sorry to say this, but what your friend Ana is right! You're falling in love with Fluttershy and if don't stop then she'll be dead in a matter of weeks!!" Luna exclaimed.
'Wait!!! F-Fluttershy....would be dead?!?!?' Discord thought.
