Sisters
Chapter 2: The Crystal Empire
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"OhmygoshOhmygoshOhmyGosh! I can't believe we're here!" squealed Pinkie. They had just gotten off the train and Rainbow Dash was already about to leave.
"Sorry I have to leave so soon but I have to go practice to beat my rival,"
"Who's your rival again?" inquired Starlight.
"Lightning Dust. She's been jealous of me ever since I got into the Wonderbolts and she didn't. I haven't seen her for almost 3 years but she wrote a letter to me and we're gonna settle this once and for all!"
"And how do you suppose you are going to 'settle this'?" asked Rarity.
"With a race!" Rainbow Dash answered."Anyway, I gotta go. Later!" She dashed off into the sky leaving a visible trail of rainbows.
"I'm afraid I have to leave too.” said Rarity, “I have to get a letter to Suri telling her that I'm here,"
"Who's Suri again?" asked Applejack.
"You know that time we went to Manehattan and we had to stay up almost all night creating outfits because somepony copied my line? That pony was Suri Polomare. I'm getting even with her. We're having a design contest. We pick out fabrics for each other to use and we have 24 hours to create an outfit with the fabrics we have."
"Yer kiddin', right? That's how you're gonna get even with her? In mah life, I settle things with real competitions. Paintball, wrestling, dares! Competitions of strength and wit! Not some lame fashion contest where ya wear some fancy getup!" remarked Applejack.
"Well, that may be how you do things but I for one do not care for uncouth competitions. Anywho, I must be going. Goodbye!"
"I'm gonna go to Joe's Donuts for the grand opening! I gotta get there early or else I won't be their first customer and if I'm not the first customer then I can't get a first customer doughnut and I promised to bring back Spike a first customer donut!" Pinkie took a long breath and sped off in a flash.
"Did anypony understand any of that?" asked Starlight.
"Nope. Not a clue,"Twilight shook her head.
"I'm sorry. I have to go too. I'm... meeting somepony." said Fluttershy. The rest of the group had almost forgotten about her since she was so quiet.
"Really? Who?" asked Twilight.
"I don't know. I just received a letter right before heading to the train station."
"Why do I get the weird feeling you're lying?" asked Starlight.
"I'm not,"
"Yes you are,"
"I'm not!"
"Yes, you are!"
Applejack spoke up "That's enough you two. Yall' can argue when Twilight and I leave but, fer now, get along will ya?"
Starlight huffed, "Fine. I know who sent you that letter and why you won't tell us,"
"Hey guys, as much as I'd love to figure out who sent the letter, I wanted to go to the library, so bye," said Twilight as she walked off.
"I'm gonna go get some food. I don't know about yall' but I'm really hungry after the long train ride." said Applejack. As soon as she left, Starlight began to talk to Fluttershy
"We both know who sent you that letter,"
"I really don't know,"
"Oh come on Fluttershy, who would send you a letter that appeared right before you left so randomly? I know only one pony who would do that, or rather one Draconequus,"
"Alright, I knew who sent it,"
"Then why did you hide it from us?" Fluttershy blushed, "Oh, I know what's going on here. You have a crush on Discord."
"I suppose so but, I can't let him know that,"
Starlight smiled a bit. She knew that Discord had a crush on Fluttershy but didn't say anything. She knew they should figure out their feelings on their own.
"Well then. You better go I guess. Bye,"
"Bye." Starlight smiled, she was happy that Fluttershy and Discord both loved each other. She decided to go to the home of a certain stallion she admired. He was none other than Sunburst. She was happy nopony had asked her about what she would do, for she knew that unlike Fluttershy and herself, all of their friends would pester her about it for the rest of the visit, and probably the rest of her life. She was so happy and calm. If only things could stay that way.
Next Chapter: Library Estimated time remaining: 26 MinutesAuthor's Notes:
I know this chapter is really short and kind of pointless but I needed to set up the dynamic between Fluttershy and Discord and show where all the other characters were. And yes, I am going to make a sequel with Fluttershy and Discord confessing their love for each other. Long live Fluttercord!
