AN UNFORESEEN COMPLICATION

PART 1

After the game of shoots and ladders ended, the six along with Discord went to sleep. To be honest, the night became rather uneventful for Twilight and her friends after the game of truth or dare had ended.

That is... Until the next morning.

“Fluttershy?” Discord grumbled half awake realizing the yellow Pegasus had suddenly woken up and darted towards the restroom in a hurry.

The draconequus sat up and stretched his limps in a lazy fashion, making no attempt at all to be careful as his tail managed to slap a certain Alicorn awake.

Twilight immediately sat up and held her head. “Ohh, My head! I should have known better than to drink Applejack's hard cider.” The Alicorn remarked as she rubbed her temple. She then surveyed her surroundings and for a moment she had forgotten Discord had showed up last night as she laid eyes on him. “Where's Fluttershy?” she managed to moan out a little louder even though it hurt to even talk at the moment.

“She went to the restroom up-chucking I believe. This makes the fifth day in a row she's done this.” Discord remarked aloud though he sounded more concerned rather than humored at this information.

“That doesn't surprise me honestly, she downed a full bottle of Applejack's hard-” Twilight began to say only for her brain to fully register the draconequus's words mid-sentence. “Did you say, the last five mornings?” she inquired curiously.

“Did I stutter? Oh wait, let me say that louder! Fluttershy, has been waking up-mmph!” Discord began to say being as loud as possible knowing how painful it was for Twilight at the moment only for the Alicorn to shove the nearest book she could levitate into his mouth which cut him off.

The draconequus loudness was enough to wake the rest of the mares in the room whom yawned as they woke. It seemed that every mare in the room aside from Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie suffered from a painful hang-over as a result of last night's drinking.

Fluttershy came walking into the main room of the library a few minutes later after Discord's outburst looking a little worse for ware. “M-Morning everypony.” She said softly. It was one of the few times the suffering mares were happy for the Pegasus's soft voiced demeanor.

“Mornin Fluttershy.” The farm pony greeted only to take a harder look at the mare. “You okay thar surgarcube? Yer lookin a tad under the weather.” she added with a mildly concerned expression.

“Oh, I'm just fine. My stomach doesn't seem to like your cider though it seems. I hope you don't mind but um, I think I'll pass on drinking anymore for a little while.” Fluttershy replied with a light blush as she hid shyly behind her mane.

Upon hearing this, Applejack let out a hearty laugh much to the agonizing pain of Twilight, Rarity, and the yellow Pegasus. “Ah'm amazed yer the only one whose paid a visit to the restroom this mornin to be honest.” Applejack remarked with a wide grin.

“Ha! As if a bottle of that weak apple juice you call cider would make this Pegasus lose her lunch!” Rainbow Dash bragged as she did a mid-air summer-salt only to land head-first in her sleeping bag.

Applejack gave a snicker as she leaned over to the Pegasus's head still buried in her sleeping bag. “Ya may not have lost yer lunch but Ah reckon ya lost yer sense of direction speakin as ya just landed on yer head.” She quipped with a smirk.

“Shove an apple in it A-J.” The Pegasus's muffled voice snapped back before she regained her composure and sat down on her sleeping bag.

“Yeah! No cider is going to make us sick to our tummies! Right Rarity?!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed as she gave the mare's belly a playful swat. This proved to be a big mistake.

The white unicorn's face seemed to fill to the brim with a sickly shade of green “Hurmmk!” she managed to blurt out before she slammed a hoof over her mouth and a blur of white sailed past the party mare to the restroom and door slamming behind the mare. Moments later, the sound of retching could be heard coming from within.

“Aw, I guess she can't hold her cider, hehe!” Pinkie Pie quipped with an overly large grin.

After Rarity had finished emptying the contents of her stomach, she managed to trot her way back into the room with a grim expression on her face. “That was so unladylike...” she muttered as she sat back down on her sleeping bag and looked at her friends.

An awkward silence ensued between the six as last night's events came back to the front of their minds as they stared at one another. “Some game huh?” The cyan blue Pegasus managed to utter out to break the silence between the six.

“Yeah... Some game.” Applejack added a few moments later.

“So... about last night. I don't know about everypony else but I would be happy if we pretended it never happened.” Rarity said in the most dignified voice she could muster.

“Easier said than done Rarity...” Applejack replied as she gave a saddened expression at Rainbow Dash whom seemed to be unaware of the farm pony's gaze on her.

“Applejack's right. There's no way we can pretend last night never happened.” Twilight remarked and gave a mild glare at the draconequus. “Especially since he's here.” she added with a hint of resentment in her voice.

“Why, I'm hurt you would ever suggest such a thing! Do I look like the kind of character to just down right spout off your secrets to random ponies for my own amusement?” Discord remarked with a mock offended expression.

Every mare's head except for Fluttershy's seemed to line up next to each other as they suddenly leaned in towards Discord's face so that their faces were less than five inches from his own.

YES!!!

Meanwhile outside, a lone pony was walking past the library only to suddenly snap their head in the direction of the library as it seemed to shake while a chorus of voices exclaimed “yes!” in unison.

Back inside, Discord seemed to be unaffected by this stunt by the five as he cleared his throat. “I can't believe you'd think that your friend would betray you in such a way! Why I'm so hurt I could cry!” Discord replied as he conjured a tissue and blew into it after his statement.

The five mares simply deadpanned at the draconequus as they all sat back down on their respective sleeping bags.

“Now, Now, Discord has been reformed remember? He wouldn't do something like that.” Fluttershy spoke up after a tense silence ensued for a few minutes.

“Horsefeathers!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed in a coughing gesture though she hardly made any effort to hide the fact she was calling the Pegasus out on her statement.

“Oh come now, does this look like the face of a pony who would-Discord!” Fluttershy began to say only to snap her gaze at the draconequus whom seemed to be whistling innocently.

Unknown to any of the other five mares in the room, the draconequus had conjured up signs for each one of them which hovered just above their heads and read as follows:

DIAMOND DOG/DRAGON BUCKER, TOWN WHORE, FREELOADING SLUT, BROTHER BUCKER(MAYBE), CLOSET LESBIAN

However moments after Fluttershy's outburst, the signs disappeared so the five mares had no idea they had even appeared or disappeared. “What?!” Discord exclaimed as he placed his lion's paw over his chest and feigned innocence.

SLAP!!!

Everypony's jaw dropped as Fluttershy's hoof sailed a crossed the draconequus's face knocking him back onto his rump and staring at her with a shocked expression as the mare stared back huffing and puffing at him looking pissed off beyond belief. “Innocent jokes I can take, poking fun I can ignore, but I, WILL, NOT, TOLERATE, you insulting our friends in such a way!” Fluttershy roared at the draconequus and seemed to narrow her eyes at him as her face neared his. “You got that?” She added at which point Discord nodded silently.

“So it really wasn't the cider makin me imagine it, somethin really is goin on between those two.” Applejack remarked as she stared in shock at the normally shy and meek Pegasus whom seemed to have had a personalty flip.

“You said it A-J. Discord would never take a slap like that sitting down.” Rainbow Dash added still looking slack-jawed as ever.

“Uh, Fluttershy?” Twilight asked softly only for the mare to whirl and glare at her. “Y-You okay?” She stuttered upon seeing the mare's face.

As quickly as her anger came it seemed to vanish into thin air as her eyes filled to the brim with tears and quickly darted out the front door crying softly.

“Is it just me or is Fluttershy acting-”

“Odd?” Rainbow Dash interjected.

“Moody?” Rarity followed up.

“As if she's on her heat cycle?” Pinkie Pie added which caused everypony including Discord to stare at her with a confused look on their faces. “What? You should see Rainbow Dash when she's on it! Yesh, scary!” The party mare remarked with a mildly scared expression and a shudder.

“Hmm...” Twilight mused aloud as she placed a hoof on her chin, seemingly deep in thought.
