Never knew the Truth

Chapter 4: gala preparations

Moonlight was in her room and she locked the door, trying to prevent that Discord comes in her room even though she knew he comes in anyway.

She looked at her desk and saw an unfinished dress and a sewing mashine. 'I must finish my dress for the gala in two days. If Diamond Shine will be there as well?' Moonlight said to herself shaking the last thought out of her head.

Meanwhile in Ponyville, Rarity was very busy to finish the dresses for her and her friends. Suddenly someone knocked on the door of the Carousel Boutique.

„Come in. Can't talk, too busy." Rarity awnsered. Discord stood in the doorway. „Hello Rarity. Have you seen Fluttershy?" Discord asked. Rarity was confused by his question. Didn't he knew that Fluttershy was mostly in her cottage or did he just forgot? „She is probably in her cottage. Why are you asking anyway?" Rarity replied turning to her work again. „No special reason, but thank you Rarity." Discord said and snapped his fingers.

He stood in front of Fluttershy's cottage. It was surrounded by little bird houses and stuff, but he didn't care because he lived here before. Discord knocked on the door with his eagle claw. „I'm coming." Fluttershy's sweet voice called out. As she opened the door she was a bit confused at first. „Discord what are you doing here? It's not our usaul 'tea day'." Fluttershy spoke after a whole minute of silence. „May I come in my dear? I need to ask you something about the gala." Discord said looking in her teal eyes. She agreed and he sat down on the couch."What is it you wanted to ask me?" Fluttershy asked. Discord was silent for a moment, thinking about his question. He then said: „I wanted to ask you if you would go to the Grand Gallopping Gala with me. If you want to." Discord looked at the floor trying to hide his face. „Sure, I'd love to." Fluttershy replied smiling at him. They hadn't seen each other that much lately and even the fact they wrote letters to each other was no excuse. „We need to make up the time we haven't seen each other." These words from Fluttershy that she would love to go with him to the gala and that they had to make up the 'lost' time were music in Discord's ears. He celebrated inside but just said that he would see her in two days again. After that he teleported away.

Back in Canterlot, Moonlight was about to finish her dress when suddenly Discord fell on her bed and celebrated. „Why are you so happy Discord? Is something up with Fluttershy?" Moonlight asked with a smile. „Fluttershy and I have a 'date'. This is the most amazing moment in my immortal life. I'm going with the most beautiful mare to the Grand Gallopping Gala." Discord cheered. Moonlight turned away to finish her dress. She and Discord were more then just best friends or family. They were practicly one...they couldn't be seperated, but Discord respected her privacyand her lessons with, who he called Lulu. Even though he wished to spend more time with Moonlight and took every opportunity to do so.

„How comes? I mean she is just interested in you as a friend. You know that Discord." Moonlight suddenly said after like 2 full silent minutes. Discord knew that but he would give it a try. „Well I asked her if she wanted to go with me to the gala and she said that she would love to because we have to make up the 'lost' time." Discord replied sitting up in Moonlight's bed. All he heard was a quiet giggle from Moonlight who was finishing her dress. „Hey, why is that so funny?" Discord asked a bit angry. „Nothing it's just really funny to me. I know a secret of Fluttershy about you but I pinkie promised her not to tell you." Moonlight said with a chuckle. Even if she didn't pinkie promised it she was not allowed to tell him. Princess Luna always said: „As the Princess of the night, you are not allowed to talk about the dreams you visited. That's the First and most important rule."

Discord and Moonlight talked the whole time. When a guard knocked at Moonlight's door. „Your highness, You and Discord will be awaited at the dinner table. Princess Twilight and her friends as well as Princess Cadance and her husband Shining Armor came. You should really go down there now." the guard said. „We be there in a minute. Thank you for telling me, Flash Sentry." Moonlight said. She could tell which guard had knocked just by listennig to the voice.

At dinner Celestia talked about what preparations must be done by tomorrow. Everyone, except of discord Moonlight and Luna got a task. Moonlight set herself a task. She wanted to ask Shadow Blade if he would join the gala. When she asked if she could invite him Celestia just asked why. „He...well...he has never been to the gala before so I thought...it would be a nice Friendship present for him." Moonlight blushed when she said that. Discord knew the look on Moonlight's face because he had the same look when Fluttershy invited him to a teaparty after the whole thing with Tirek.

Discord knew that she loved him, even if it was just a little, he wanted to help her.

Author's note: I'm sorry that I do it now but it's important. Yes Moonlight is a princess since her birth but she doesn't know it. Yes Moonlight is my own OC so please no hate because she is an Alicorn. Yes I ship Fluttercord because i think it's cute that the Element of Kindness and th Spirit of Chaos are friends. Shadow Blade and Diamond Shine are OC's I created just for this story.

I do NOT own any of the original My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, like Twilight, Celestia or even Discord.

This story is inspired by the PMV's to fluttercord and partly by other Fanfictions. Even Bride of Discord. Fluttercord is not the Main pairing, it's focused on the life of Moonlight.

I hope you enjoyed my FIRST fanfiction so far.
