Chapter 24: The Weird Kind Of Help

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

"Supernatural help, Discord what in the ever loving what are you talking about?" The young dragons voice was very alarming to Discord.

Would Spike not believe him if he did told him the truth? Would he think he was totally insane? Discord then started to doubt his plan would work, but he knew he still had to at least try.

"Yeah, I need you to help me with a little problem I've been having."

"Discord you're not making any sense right now. What happened to you, are you alright" The young dragon's voice became more and more alarming to Discord as he struggled to keep his cool.

"Spike," Discord stopped to take deep breath. He had to prepare himself for true insanity."Do you believe in ghosts?" Discord flinched at the heavy weight of his words.

"What?"Spike asked in a concerned yet confused manner.

"You know ghosts? Do you believe in ghosts and demons and stuff?"Discord said as he once again flinched.

Spike stepped back completely thrown back from the question. He stood there a little scared at what his friend was asking him. How would he respond to that? He had no idea why such a question would be brought up.

"Discord, why would you ask me something like that? What does that have to do with what happened-"

"Just answer the question!" Spike jumped back at Discord's outburst.

"Yes, yes I do," Spike answered.

He said "yes," not caring if it was true or not. He wanted to know what was wrong with Discord, and he knew that if he said "no" then he would never gotten the answers he so desired. He looked into Discord's eyes as he say the cloud of discouragement began to dissipate. He still had no idea whatsoever what was going to happen next or where the conversation was going.

"Why did yo-"

"OK good. Then what I'm about to tell you won't sound as crazy as it is." Discord began to panic as he approached the moment of truth. At last, it had to come weather he liked it or not."I had a dream about a demon, and that demon purposely lead me to a demon-house. At that house, I then got attacked by a ghost, well many ghosts....and demons. And those demons....and ghosts chased me all the way from that house to this castle. So I need your help to find out what they want, where they came from, and how to stop them."

Spike was speechless. He had no idea what to say. That was when he realized that he believed in ghosts and the supernatural, and he kinda always had. There was only two problems with that. One, Spike knew that there was no way Discord would believe in the supernatural. The other problem was that ,"yes", Spike did believed in the supernatural, but not to a big manner. It was more like having a basic belief that could easily be broken if it was tested. But this. What he was hearing was way above his mental defenses. Discord's question smashed right through his mind as it crumbled into a million peaces. So all that remained was a broken speechless spike. He had no idea what to say. That was when Spike started to wounder if Discord was actually trying to prank him. The only problem with that was the question why. Why would Discord do such a thing as that? Discord was a joker and Spike took that into mind. However, Discord had never played such a joke about the paranormal. Though in the end, Spike was pretty sure Discord was joking.

"Discord, I don't know what you're trying to do, but it's not that funny." Spikes disappointed voice shattered Discord's confidence like a bullet would shatter a mirror.

"Spike, I'm not joking. Look I know it sounds crazy but I need you to believe me." Discord's voice became more frantic the more he talked, and it started to make Spike worry.

Discord could see it in Spike's eyes that he was not even close to convincing him. Why didn't Spike believe him, if he truly did believe in ghost? Maybe it was because it was Discord who was making the claim. Discord had never been the most trust worthy person in Equestria, but at that moment Discord really did want and need Spike to believe him. Discord really wanted to know what the heck was going on with him and Spike might have been his only chance of getting help. Usually, Discord would have never asked for help, but he was scared that without help he would never see Celestia raise the sun again.

"Discord please stop playing around. It's not funny at all, and your starting to peeve me off." Once again Spikes voice shattered what was left of Discord's confidence."You know, I don't like to see you passed out in blues in the middle of the night. We were all super worried about you Discord. Fluttershy cried for hours, and eventually she passed out from hyperventilating to much. Do you even care that you scared Rarity half to death? I do."


Discord now felt bad for what had happened. He had no idea that all if his friends knew about what had happened. He especially didn't know that they were all so worried about him. Knowing that Fluttershy pass out and was hurt only made him fell worse.

"I couldn't sleep knowing that something bad had happened to you. Iv'e been waiting for you to wake up so I could find out what happened, but instead you're giving me this lame prank." Discord's patients was rapidly declining as he heard the strong denial in Spike's voice.

"Look Spike, I know how crazy this sounds, but I really need your help right now. I'm really scared right now ,and I need your help. I..I don't think I'll live through the night if I don't get some help." Discord's voice seemed to change, as he began to almost beg.

Spike sighed as civil war broke out inside him. The war was between two sides that each wanted to be the victor. One side wanted to believe his friend and push on through all the insanity. However the opposing side refused to believe such an untrustworthy creature. Discord always had pulled lame pranks and jokes, so what made this time different. On the other side, Discord had never seemed so scared in his life. He never lied about something like that before, and he never could even comprehend the thought of hurting Fluttershy. Both sides fought ferociously and violently, as they struggled for victory.

"Look Discord, I want to believe you , but knowing you and what you do makes it very hard to. This wouldn't be the first time you tricked me, and this does seem like something you would do." As Spike's voice reached Discord's brain he began to frown.

He new that it was his fault why he wasn't so believable. He had always been a joker and had never taken anything serious. If he hadn't been such a joker and been more like Twilight then Spike would have never hesitated to believe him. Though Discord was sad he had to answer the question at hoof. Why should Spike believe him? True, Spike didn't ask the question, but it was clearly up in the air.

"I mean what do you expect from me? You really expect me to believe that you aren't pranking me and you honestly all of a sudden believe in demons. You honestly expect me to believe that?" The words of the young dragon echoed in the draconequus's mind, as he thought about the question.

"No, I don't expect you to believe that, but I do expect you to believe your friend." Discord straightened his demeanor, poser and manner in order to show Spike that he was serious.

Spike defiantly heard Discord's words, and they hit him hard. He was all about friendship, and trusting his friends. All of the lessons Spike had learned was about fighting the odds and believing in (read in a sarcastic baby voice) The Magic of Friendship. What was he suppose to do then? He knew if Twilight was here, she would help Discord , even though she wouldn't like it one bit. Well, Spike knew even if Discord was joking there was a friendship code Spike had to follow, and it said that he had to at least try to help Discord.

"Discord if you're joking around then I'm gonna be peeved at you." Spike sighed in defeat, as he came to one conclusion. He knew there was a chance that he was falling right into a trap, however if Discord was serious then Spike knew that Discord was in serious danger. "I'll help you with your problem, but not because I'm falling for this little game you're playing. The only reason I'm helping you is because unfortunately, I'm a good friend."

"Wait, really? You're really going to help me?" Discord said in complete and utter shock.

"Yes, I'm serious, but please don't make me regret my decision. And please for the love of Celestia don't make me regret trusting you."

Discord could not believe what he was hearing. Did he really just hear Spike agree with him? Well weather he believed it or not it was true, Spike had agreed to help him.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Spike so much! You'll not regret it, I swear."

Discord began to jump up and down with joy, and he even picked up Spike and began to swing him around. Spike had never seen Discord so happy in his life, and it kinda freaked him out. After some time Discord through down Spike and began to cool down. Spike got up and wiped himself off.

"Well, Discord you shouldn't be so happy if I was you," Spike said as Discord instantly stopped dancing.

He looked up to Spike with a confused look on his face."Why, what's wrong?" Discord made direct eye contact with Spike's eyes as he saw tremendous concern in them.

"Why, what's wrong!!?" Discord said again, with a little fear in his voice. He cringed as he awaited the answer.

Spike stared up at him and gave him a grim look."Because if what you're telling me is true, then you are in serious danger.

Author's Notes:

Yeah, it's short. But next one will be longer. Well, Spike agreed to help Discord. Will he regret it? Most likely. Let's see what's in stored for Spike and Discord. Will Spike see what is after Discord? Will Discord will be able to convince Spike that he is telling the truth? We'll find out soon enough.
