I am really shocked by the positive feedback that I got in the last chapter. I will probably lose it in this chapter. I thought people would hunt me down just because I made the story different in the last chapter. Also I apologize if I am giving this to you guys late. I am glad to see my audience approves of my originality. (I can't really say that but I digress). So I want to thank you guys for your support. I don't think I would have gotten through this story without it.

So, we are now on chapter 12 and boy am I nervous. Sorry I couldn't get this in on time. I had a lot of issues to deal with. I was moving to another location, I had college that I am still going through, final exams, home life, and the fact that my twin brothers are in town. The reason I say this is because they are in the military and they were on leave. I love them to death, but they can be annoying at times (They are my older brothers, so siblings can be like this once in a while. I am sure you guys can relate). Anyways, so let's get to the comments.

Dream Dragoness: Yea I know, I don't like Flash, yet I don't hate him either. Though, Rainbow Rocks made me change my perspective of him. I don't care if he was affected by the mist. I am sure he is public enemy number one after that movie.

Guest: I guess you're right about me worrying about what you guys think. It's my high school mind thinking that people care about what I write and say. Yea, I really felt there should have been a moment where Butterscotch/Fluttershy should have had an opportunity to escape. I believe at first Fluttershy/Butterscotch would have escaped, but I am sure he wouldn't abandon Discord/Eris in his/her state of unconsciousness. I mean I am sure Discord/Eris would have gotten up, but not as long as one would suspect.

Sofi the Pegasus: Yea, kind of weird and funny that way. I mean I really hated Flash for being a forced romance interest for Twilight. I really don't get it. Maybe the crew behind MLP wanted someone to like Twilight for the fans. That's the only reason I see for his existence, but that's just me

Unnicornbuzzard: It's okay, I have been kind of lazy though.

DisneyFanatic2364: It's shocking to see a chapter you don't like as much. I am sure every person that has written a fanfic regrets a chapter or two. Don't feel bad. Also, I didn't realize you had two slice of life episodes in the audio drama. I can understand why you had to cut things out. Also, I saw the series finale trailer. It was amazing.

I am sure you would have done something like a monologue for the whole Discord feels the animals. Hopefully, you are having a great time with Episode ten, your Christmas MLP Fanfic, Son in law of Discord, College stuff, and etc. Hopefully this will help calm things for you.

Before I begin, I think I might want to look into some coverart for my story to attract other readers. Maybe someday put this on Fimfiction. Maybe do an Audio Drama on this. I don't know, I am still new at this, plus I have college and that is getting intense. Also, this was the hardest chapter to write. So, if you have any objections to this chapter I will understand. So, I hope you like this chapter. If I have made mistakes I am sure everyone will jump at the chance to point it out.

Chapter 12: The Story

"Butterscotch, hold still pleases"

Eris told the Pegasus as she was painting a portrait of him in the living room. The lady of Chaos was currently in a painter's attire as she stuck her tongue out trying to paint a picture of Butterscotch. She was going to put it in the Conservatory.

"Oh, sorry Eris" Butterscotch said

Butterscotch on the other hoof was stuck in an awkward position. He was standing on a chair with his two front hooves, While his back hooves were holding up a number of objects that included: another chair, some cushions, a goldfish bowl with a catfish in it, an umbrella, a few books, and a large feather. Butterscotch was quickly losing his balance, but didn't want to mess up the picture Eris wanted to paint. He didn't want to ruin her hard work with his complains

"Oh, this will be my masterpiece" Eris splashed some paint on the picture frame with an easel set up. She often looked at Butterscotch to remember who and what she was painting.

"Ummm Eris…..Eris" Butterscotch panicked "AHHHHHHHHHH"

CRASH!

BOOM!

SLAMMM!

BANG!

One by one, the objects that Butterscotch was carrying fell to the ground. Butterscotch only managed to catch the goldfish bowl. He felt pretty bad that he ruined Eris's artwork.

"And done" Eris smiled

Shocked the stallion was. She was able to finish it before he fell to the ground. He flew over to see the finished picture. His reaction made him glare at Eris. The picture came out to be Butterscotch standing perfectly still with his plot on the chair, while all the stuff was around him. He simply turned his head to the draconequus seeing she was laughing on the floor.

"Eris" Butterscotch scowled

"What, I couldn't believe you managed to carry all those things with your hooves. I guess you beat my estimates by two and a half minutes" Eris wiped a single tear of laughter from her eye.

"I could have died" Butterscotch complained

"But you didn't. Besides, it's my turn" Eris snapped her finger returning everything back to normal and balanced all the things on her nose while putting an empty picture frame for Butterscotch to paint. Before Butterscotch started to paint he hesitated for a moment as he stared at her.

"Eris, do you mind if I ask you something important" Butterscotch looked away

"Go ahead Butters, I'm all ears" Eris said before enlarging her ears for a moment with her magic before return them back to normal.

"Where do you come from" Butterscotch slowly spoke rubbing one hoof on his other hoof.

"Oh, umm well" Eris said before snapping her figure to make the items disappear. "Well you see, when a mommy Draconequus and a daddy Draconequus love each other very much they…."

"Eris, you know what I mean" Butterscotch approached her

"Okay, I guess you have been here a while now, I would assume you would want to know more about my history before I was the goddess of Chaos and Disharmony." Eris pulled up a large couch, which was large enough for the both of them to sit down on.

"But, this story isn't going to be a happy one" Eris poked Butterscotch's snout with her eagle claw

Butterscotch sat down on the couch to listen what she had to say and pointed to his ears with his hoof "Like you said, I am all ears"

She patted her lap with her hands "Well here we go"

XxxX

I wasn't exactly the last of my kind. There was a land full of Draconeqi. I had a mother and a father just like any other creature would.

My mom would call me the cutest little button, despite my nature of hating cute things. She also made me wear these cutie dresses, which I hated. My father told such great stories that I thought he would be a traveling author someday. My mother was kind and as soft as the wind. My father was strong and cheerful like a merry old soul. They were embarrassing, but I loved them unconditionally.

However, the fun times couldn't last though.

("What happened" Butterscotch looked up hearing her happiness soon turned to sadness.)

The details are still blurry to me. I only remember it being snowy and ice cold. It was a blizzard that my race couldn't control. It came out of nowhere.

Along the way, I got separated from my parents and found myself in a cave. I survived on chocolate milk and cotton candy. That's all I knew how to do at that age. My mind didn't have much imagination at that time. Remember I was still pretty young.

("Understandable" Butterscotch nods knowing he wasn't capable of such thoughts when he was a few years old. "Wait, why cotton candy and chocolate milk?")

Well, my father always gave me cotton candy from the clouds whenever I was sad or hungry. My mom would give me chocolate milk from the lakes or streams. It was what I remembered them best for and associated them with. I needed them and those two items temporarily filled the void.

("You must have been in that cave for a long time huh" Butterscotch looked concerned.)

Yea, I lost track of the time I was in that cave. When the blizzard ended, it was my natural instinct to look for my parents.

"Hello...Mom...Dad?" Eris crawled out of the cave and searched around "Somepony...Anypony?"

Eris went to a tree as she hugged herself feeling sad and lonely as she summoned chocolate milk and cotton candy. She slowly ate her cotton candy and drank little bits of her chocolate milk feeling sadness. She summoned two large sizes of cotton candy clouds. She used her fingers to morph the cotton candy to form a male and female draconequus. Her tears poured out as she hugged them and cried.

There wasn't anypony in sight. I will spare you the awful details of my endless journey throughout the land.

Eris walked into the woods spying to be a strange array of pieces that were black and white. She sat down floating the pieces together and combining them to form keys that formed music. She pressed each key and giggled. She soon left out a depressing tone as she stood up and snapped her figure to make the pieces vanish.

It didn't take me long to realize I was different from most creatures.

The young Eris saw a bunch of birds in the trees.

"Hello there..."Eris smiled

Suddenly the birds flew away from her "Wait, come back, I want to play"

The draconequus was trying to catch up with the bird, but her lack of flight training made her fall to the ground. When she picked herself off from the dirty she viewed a puddle seeing her appearance in the water, it only made her sad that it was her own face. She splashed the water in anger.

I tried to make friends with the creatures, but they either laughed or ran away from me in fear. I wasn't sure if I would ever find a place that I truly belonged. Eventually, I found Equestria, a place of where ponies and stallions of different kind lived together in harmony. I often heard of my parents passing through that place seeing ponies of different shapes and sizes.

I tried to see if they would accept me as their equal…but it was all the same.

Eris ran up as she used her magic to make the ball grow wings and fly off. She looked down wondering what these ponies thought of her and her attempts to have a little fun.

"Hey, where did our ball go" an earth pony said and looked to where Eris was "EWWWWW, what is that thing?"

"I am not sure, but it looks hideous" a Pegasus stuck her tongue out in disgust.

"Let's go away, maybe IT will leave us alone" the unicorn scoffed at Eris's appearance. The three ponies left Eris in her sadness.

So, I gave up my attempts of trying to fit in with the ponies. I knew that if they gave me the same reaction, I wouldn't be able to become friends with anypony. I saw refugee in a cave high up in the mountains to where nopony could see me.

"That cave…..it wouldn't be by chance the cave in which you took me from" Butterscotch asked

"Actually, yes it is the same cave I took you from" Eris answered

Eventually, I was found by an alicorn and a unicorn. I think her name was Swirly stars or something like that. The young Alicorn was Solaris.

"Master, I found the creature in this cave" Solaris pointed with his hoof.

"Solaris, calm yourself. I am sure this is a new type of creature we are dealing with. So, let's trend lightly" The mare with the magical hat spoke. She entered in the cave first looking around. Then the stallion slowly entered lighting his horn and looking around. "I was sure I saw her here"

"What a strange hat" Eris said popping in between the two as she grabbed the hat and put it on her head. Solaris freaked out as he saw her so suddenly and moved to one side of the cave. Swirly only laughed.

"What an unusual creature" Swirl continued to laugh. Eris growled as her lion paw glowed.

"What a unique power you possess" Swirl looked at Eris's lion paw that was glowing. Swirl Star then glazed at her eagle claw and finally overlooked each feature of Eris's body.

"Hey hey, what are you doing" Eris was caught off guard by Swirl Star's curiosity. She floated her tail to have a look "That will be enough of that thank you very much." Eris blushed as she pulled her tail back and rubs it feeling frightened that the mare was doing an examination on her body.

"I apologize it's just that I have never seen a creature like yourself. I should be naturally curious. As they say, curiosity killed the cat. Come here Solaris and come meet this remarkable being"

Solaris slowly made his way to Swirl's side. Eris soon gave the weird hat of Swirls back to the unicorn, which she used her magic to put the hat back on her.

"Hello there, my name is Swirly Star the Magnificent and this is my student, Prince of the Sun Solaris. May we ask who you are? We have never seen a creature like you before in our land. Pleases tell us your name"

"Eris…"Eris stepped closer to the alicorn and Unicorn. "My name is Eris"

XxxX

So, I eventually got settled into Equestria. Swirly mysteriously disappeared and Solaris told me I need to do some good in Equestria. Though, Solaris was very vague on 'his' definition of good. So, I might have turned some trees into candy canes, literally rained on everypony's parade, and even turning Artemis's hair into the night sky.

("Wait, isn't Artemis's hair the night sky" Butterscotch raised a brow)

("Yea, I sort of gave him that inspiration. It was a light blue before I played with his hair. Solaris scolded me soon afterwards" Eris smiled)

Well, there was one day where I messed up a little bit and accidentally turned the roads to soap.

Eris snapped her finger thinking that she turned the road into rocks that made music when somepony stepped on. She noticed that the road didn't have what she wanted, but she saw the roads were turned into soap.

Eris saw a couple of ponies sliding on one area to the next "I am sorry you guys"

"Eris can't you do anything right? You are such a freak" the Pegasus huffed

Eris had heard what the stallion said to her and slowly turned around "What did you call me?"

"Yea, freak why can't you cause trouble somewhere else?" an earth pony joined in

"I dare you to call me that again" Eris glared

"Freak" The Pegasus slowly called her.

"Alright then" Eris slowly inhaled and exhaled before she snapped her fingers to work her magic on the ponies.

I really don't like being called freak. Solaris scolded me again for doing that to the ponies even without taking my side of the matter.

"Solaris you heard what they called me" Eris was alone in Solaris's throne room. It was night time and Artemis was out doing his duties as the prince of the night.

"Eris, they might have called you hurtful names, but you should have shown more self control" Solaris stared at her

"Oh my goodness, you are still going to take their side? No matter what I do for these ponies they are never going to see the good that I do for them" Eris pointed outside.

"Eris, you must calm yourself" Solaris said

"No I will not calm down. Why can't you support me on this" Eris cried out

"Because Eris, you need to understand that they will eventually forgive you and see that you are more than just a freak. You are more that what you look like" Solaris put his hoof on Eris. "Don't fight me on this old friend"

As the time passed, He got angry at me and I got angry back. Eventually, through the advice of an unusual friend, I decided to take over Equestria. You should know the rest by now.

XxxX

"Wow, I can imagine you were alone huh" Butterscotch tried to hid his tears.

"It's okay; I was pretty alone back then. Though, not anymore that you are here now" Eris looked at Butterscotch and giggled a little bit

"Do you miss them, Eris? Do you miss your parents" Butterscotch calmly asked a question Eris hasn't considered in a long time.

"I suppose I wonder what has happened to them" Eris sighed as she tried to picture her parents, but couldn't. It was still very fuzzy.

"What was it like being turned to stone" Butterscotch felt her chest with his hoof and imagines her encased in stone.

"It is a cold place in which you can only see and hear the outside world. No way to talk to anypony. It's almost like you are in a state of suspended animation" Eris looked down. "Being in a dark place in which you can't find a way out. You try to call out for help but…"

Eris pulled her legs to her feeling frightened and suddenly screamed "Don't take me back there. I don't want to go back into the dark abyss pleases"

"Eris calm down" Butterscotch pounce her with his hooves as he saw her experiencing a nervous breakdown. He realized her point of view.

"It must have been awful" Butterscotch looked up to her eyes "I can relate with you Eris. I never knew my parents"

In all of her years of spying how did the goddess of chaos miss that crucial detail?

"I never knew who my father was or what he was like. My mother sadly died years ago" Butterscotch sighed in sadness "But, I am sure they are with me in spirit." Butterscotch chuckled for a moment "I see that we are more alike than I thought"

She was shocked of Butterscotch family as she scooped him up to her holding the stallion in her arms. "I am so sorry Butterscotch" She held on to him before she smirked "Well you are quite a handsome devil"

"Don't call me that please" Butterscotch pushed her away hiding his head in shame.

"What is with you and me calling you handsome? is it so bad?" Eris felt hurt by him rejection her kind words and she moved closer.

"No," Butterscotch commented

"Then, why will you not accept my comments of your appearance. You are not ugly" It was Eris's turn to hear a story from him.

Butterscotch looked up to her and sighed. He breathed in and out for a moment. "Back at Flight camp, there was this mare…"

XxxX

"Hey Butterscotch" The mare nervously smiled

"Oh hi, umm…." young Butterscotch blushed

"Look, I want to get a milkshake, do you think that you can take me. I really like you and I think you are as cute as a button. Plus you are so handsome" The mare exaggerated

"Sure, I would love to" Butterscotch grinned and blushed at the compliment. He jumped away at the chance of this romantic encounter.

"Good, I will meet you there" The mare giggled as Butterscotch was unknown to her true intentions.

Butterscotch was searching around for the mare in question as he stood at the counter. He had bought two milkshakes, one for him and the other for her. The stallion stood there for seven whole hours before he saw a group of mares entered the shop.

"Oh my gosh is that Butterscotch?" one of the mares said

"I can't believe he felt for the oldest trick in the book" the other mare joked

"You did say he was 'as cute as a button'," the third mare laughed

Butterscotch then saw the mare that who asked him out in the first place, He heard her speak "He is such a loser"

Butterscotch jaw dropped. This then brought dozens of tears pouring down his face. He couldn't believe that he was tricked into doing such a thing. He ran out of the store in tears as he never felt so ashamed.

XxxX

"They did that to you" Eris gasped hearing the end of Butterscotch's story. "I can't believe how cruel that was. That is low even for me"

"Yea, it gave me a lot to think about in the terms of shielding my emotions from other mares. I wasn't sure who exactly to truth. Over the years, many mares came up to me asking me to be their special somepony, but I turned them all down. It was hard for me to trust anypony after that event. How would I know their true intentions? It was really burning me up inside. It's why any mare that calls me handsome I would ignore. How am I sure they really mean it" Butterscotch looked away as he still remembered the laughs the mares gave him.

"Tell me who they are" Eris growled

"Who…what" Butterscotch raised a brow

"Tell me who the mares who insulted you. I want to teach them a lesson" Eris glared as her hands lit up in rage.

"I barely remember them Eris. It's all in the past" The Pegasus stood in front of her flapping his wings.

"But, no one picks on my Butterscotch" Eris grabbed the Pegasus, who was shocked by her actions. This caused the Pegasus's cheeks to burn up in the form of a blush.

"Well, Butterscotch I will always be truthful to you. I will never try to hurt or make you cry. I will always be with you my love" Eris looked deeply into his eyes to show him she was being truthful.

"Wait what" Butterscotch felt overwhelmed by Eris's compliment.

"Sorry, I went overboard with that love line didn't I?" Eris giggled while holding a blush and swirled a small portion of her hair

"A little, but I don't mind" Butterscotch giggled

XxxX

Butterscotch felt a hint of joy on his face as he entered his room after a long day with Eris. He looked out the window seeing his animals resting for the night. Through the window, he saw the sight of a bear looking out into the woods. The bear was scratching the barrier like a dog would if it wanted to go outside.

Butterscotch walked outside tending to the bear as he walked forward. He saw the bear in sadness as he looked to where the bear was staring at. "Oh dear"

Butterscotch saw a female bear. He knew immediately that she wanted to be with her love.

Butterscotch then looked seeing the other animals coming out of their hiding places as he sighed. He looked up seeing all the birds flying away that was outside the force field. He knew that the animals were happy with him, but he knew what they craved the most.

Freedom.

Butterscotch galloped inside as he needed to make a simple request to the goddess of Chaos.

XxxX

"You want me to do what" Eris heard Butterscotch's words as she uses one of her claws to wiggle some earwax out to make sure she heard him right.

"I understand what you have done for me. I am not asking you for much Eris. I just want you to release the animals" Butterscotch circled his hoof on the ground.

"But….I got those animals to make you happy…what will happen now that they are gone" Eris wasn't sure what to say as she wanted to do it for him, but it would redo everything she had done to make him happy.

"I won't say I would be totally alone. I have you don't I" Butterscotch looked up

Eris couldn't help but find that corny statement adorable. "Okay Butterscotch, first thing in the morning I will set them free"

"Okay, good night Eris" Butterscotch smiled as he walked to the door and halted as he turned back "The question?"

"The what?" Eris said without a thought of what he was referring to "Oh, I can ask that tomorrow. Goodnight Butterscotch"

"Goodnight Eris" Butterscotch told the draconequus as he was very confused.

Why didn't she ask me that question?

XxxX

"…and so the prince of the castle in the woods defended the life of the poor animal caretaker. This caused the two to reform their love and they got married. Happily Ever After. The End." Barbara read out to the orphans ponies in which most of them were asleep.

"Another successful read. Maybe next time I will read them the story of a prince that had to choose between love of a princess or becoming king. Oh wait that's the third story." Barbara snapped her finger.

She walked over seeing most of the colts and fillies asleep in their bed as she told them a story about a prince in the woods and an animal caretaker that was living on the other side of the forest. For some reason, the events of that book sounded familiar. Barbara hoped that spending time with the orphans would make her heart heal from the heartbreak that Elusive gave her. She was feeling better every day, but it was a healing process.

Outside the room, Applejack waited to see if Barbara was done as the dragon opened the door. "Okay Applejack we are all…."

Suddenly, Barbara turned around seeing two orphan ponies were staring at her. The colt was tan and had a little dust in his mane. He smiled at Barbara along with the mare that was next to him. She was purple with small braids in her mane. They had pretended to fall asleep and felt bad that the other orphans were asleep. The two ponies deeply enjoyed the story.

"Peanut and Jelly, what are you two doing out of bed? You know you should be asleep" Applejack cautioned the two ponies as he knew how cranky they would get in the morning.

"We know, we just wanted to say thank you to Barbara for the nice story. It was really romantic. Especially the part where the prince knew she couldn't keep the caretaker in his arms" Peanut smiled adorably, but then stared at his hooves "But, what are arms"

Jelly kept staring at Barbara and Applejack. She heard the rumor going around, but wanted to see if it was true. "Are you two dating?"

Applejack and Barbara suddenly faced Jelly's question. Barbara was shocked at her statement while Applejack was blushing.

"What do you mean?" Barbara giggled for a moment

"I mean is Applejack your special somepony" Jelly smiled for a moment

"Oh umm" Applejack and Barbara both said in union as they both giggled.

"Well not really, he is my friend. Besides we aren't even the same species so being in that kind of relationship would be highly complicated" Barbara smiled putting her claw on Jelly's hair and pats it.

This somewhat made Applejack sigh with sadness. He then lifted the two ponies on his back. "Okay, Bedtime for you two. Don't worry Barb, just wait outside while I get these troublemakers to bed"

"ummm okay" Barbara waved as she walked outside.

After putting Peanut on his bed, Applejack went to put Jelly on her bed. "So, is she your special somepony or special somedragon?"

"You heard what she said, we are just friends" Applejack sighed

"I have seen the way you looked at Barbara. That isn't a way a friend looks at another friend. That's the look of you are in love" Jelly smiled as she saw Applejack fluffing her pillow and puts it back on the bed.

"How do you know that?" Applejack smirked

"I see the Cakes have that same look when they came to bring us treats" Jelly smiled "I think you should tell her how you feel"

"I can't" Applejack pulled the blanket on Jelly reach up as it covered her body.

"Why not? Don't tell me it's because you two look different. There are many stories that tells of love between two species" Jelly said

"Those stories are just fairy tales" Applejack said but calms down knowing Jelly was just a filly "Besides, Barbara and I are just friends"

"Some friendships eventually turn into one of romance" Jelly grinned

This halts Applejack for a moment as he shook his head. Then looks over to Peanut "Oh, maybe I should start planning for your date with Peanut"

"Ewwwww Applejack….I don't like Peanut like that. He is my best friend. We would never start dating" Jelly couldn't bare the thought of her and Peanut being all lovey-dovey.

"You never know what the future might hold" Applejack smiled as she tucked Jelly in as he walked out of the room.

Jelly looked out seeing if Applejack left as she made her way to Peanut's bed as she gazes over him, not believe in Applejack's words of them being together. She closed her eyes imagining them together with their sandwich making business. She knew their future would be in that business. She shook her head denying herself that it was just a dream she had. She raced back to her bed using a tiny bit of magic to lift herself to the bed and eventually falls asleep.

XxxX

"Everything okay" Barbara smiled as she stood outside the door.

"Yea, you know how mares are at that age. Just saying random things" Applejack smiled nervously "Let's get you home"

"Oh, I talked to Dusk Shine today, he said it was cool for me to stay at the barn tonight" Barbara yawned

"Oh he did?" Applejack lowered himself to allow Barbara to be on him.

"Well, I just need some time to think for a while. So, let's held home and sleep in for the night" Barbara got on top of Applejack.

Applejack smiled as he walked towards the apple farm. He felt that the dragon was already knocked out for the night as this brought a smile to his face feeling her sleeping on him. It was quite peaceful.

Along the way, he viewed a particular direction in town. It was to Butterscotch's cottage. He missed the Pegasus and wonders when he, along with his friends, would see Butterscotch again.

XxxX

So, what did you think? Did you like it or hate it. Let me know in the comments.

Well, originally I was going to set it up when Butterscotch and Eris were going for a swim, but I wanted to change it up a little bit. Also, I learned that a music room is often called a conservatory. I might be wrong though. I learned that from Luigi's Mansion.

So, let's talk about the hardest part of this chapter, The backstory. I knew I wanted Eris's past to be different from Discord's, yet I couldn't find any way to avoid using the Audio Drama and Bride of Discord. Sorry about that. Anyways, I tried to make little touches here and there. I loved the part where Eris used her magic to temporary make parent clones to try to fill the void. I felt it would have been a touching scene if Discord did make that. Maybe it will appear in one of DF's story, but that's just me.

I couldn't come up with a name for Starswirl the bearded, so I made up one. Plus, I wanted the inclusion of Starswirl to be a difference between mine and DF's story. Plus, I wanted to make my own spin on the story, but I am sure people will be mad that I added it to the story. I probably could have done without Starswirl, but it was an offer too good to pass up.

Yea, I also played on the idea of Artemis's hair because it was such a strange look on Luna's appearance from Season 1 to her current look. So, I felt that those words were a little nod to it. Not saying I dislike it, but I can imagine Eris messing with Artemis here and there.

Well, I think no matter whose version you read, you have to feel bad for Butterscotch or Fluttershy. I mean that was just cruel. There is no other way to describe how brutally cruel the Audio Drama was to Fluttershy's backstory. Curse you Bride of Discord Audio Drama and how through the voice actors/actresses, the background, and music was able to move me (About the same mood I felt when I watched one scene from Big Hero 6….not telling you guys which scene it was, but it was a sad scene)

So, let's talk about the end of the chapter. Another Applebarb moment. You know for somepony that takes care of the Orphanage, we don't really get a lot of moments with the orphans in this story. My situation, make a scene with the orphans. Maybe DF will add this idea to her CMC: Next generation story. Would be an interesting chapter to talk about how orphans are perceived in the story. Hint hint wink wink. Also, did anyone get the reference of the story Barbara was telling. Seem familiar? You get Imaginary Christmas Cookies if you guys figure it out.

So, you see the appearance of two OCs. Peanut and Jelly. So, you are wondering what the inspiration behind it was; just Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches. That's the type of sandwich I haven't had in a long time. Maybe I should make it someday. Also, I just felt like experimenting with OCs.

Overall, I thought Episode 9 of the Audio drama of Bride of Discord was great. Though I will have the "I DON'T LOVE HIM" stuck in my head as well. If you play it slowly you can actually pinpoint the moment where Discord's heart breaks apart and you can repeat over and over and over and over again. I know I am cruel like that.

I can't wait to see Episode 10 in the future. Also, my hope for that episode is that DF and her fellow artists better have a cameo. Also, it's hard to tell who my favorite voice actor/actress for that Audio Drama is. It's a three way tie between Fluttershy's voice actress, Pinkie Pie's voice actress and Discord's voice actor. Though, if you have to ask me who I think has the best singing voice, it's the Applejack voice actress (BTW I already know DF 2364 does the voice of Rainbow Dash and Applejack's voice for the audio drama). Well I hope everyone tries their hardest on Episode 10, I would rather have an episode that is well done than a rushed episode that looks sloppy.

Now, it's time to work on chapter 13. I am still having trouble on what dress I want Eris to wear. I want her to wear the golden dress, while the other half of my mind says give her a blue dress. I am still in debate about it. I am sure I will have a final decision when I finish writing that chapter.

So, I wish every one of my bronies and Pegasisters, Happy Holidays and a Happy Hearth's Warming Eve. I think I will leave you all with a present of my own. My present will be a few lines of dialogue. I hope you enjoy this Christmas Present.

"Nuts?!"

"I'm not nuts! I'm Screwy! Cuz I'm Screwloose, the prince of Chaos! And you all made fun of me and hurt my friend! I shall have my revenge! REVENGE! BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

Well, I hope you like my Christmas gift.

Well, until then my bronies and Pegasisters , Happy Holidays/ Hearths Warming Eve , and have a Happy New Year. Until next time, see you all later.
