It was a beautiful and lovely Tuesday morning. Fluttershy and Discord were having their usual tea party with each other at Fluttershy's cottage, since the last one they had was at Discord's chaos dimension and they both agreed to take turns to host the perfect tea party.

Discord was telling jokes to his dear friend and playing around with his talons and finger foods for emphasis. With the cheerful laughter from the sweet little pegasus, Discord was flattered that some pony, as beautiful as this one, enjoyed his chaos. Of course, he used it for good. He couldn't stop using his chaos or else he would fade away, but if it hadn't been for his good friend, Fluttershy, he would have completely faded away.

''Oh,'' Fluttershy relished her delicate laughter even more. ''Discord, you are so funny.''

''Well,'' the draconequus said, pounding his fists on the plate so he could get his talons back. He conjured up a tap for him to wash his hands and also materialized a sheep to dry his disembodied hands. ''I do have my ways of making every pony laugh.''

He peered over to the table to get his teacup but realised it had no tea left in it, except sugar crumbs that hadn't yet dissolved in the tea.

He lifted the teapots lid to see if there was any tea left. It didn't bother him as he could just pop in some more with a snap of his talons. He got ready to snap them but stopped mid-way when he felt a soft hoof brush against his.

It was the yellow mare's hoof. It was so subdued and delicate, like a teddy bear. His heart was beating but he didn't know why. Every time he was around that yellow pegasus, it would always pound inside his chest.

''That is okay,'' she calmly smiled at him, ''I need to go to the market anyway for the week after next week.''

''That is what you said last time and of course, you weren't kidding. Still, I can just pop in some more...I am still thirsty. My stomach feels like it is about to...explode!''

He blasted a chocolate milk fountain outside the window of the cottage for emphasis.

''Oh dear,'' she muttered. ''Are you alright? Maybe you just drank too much tea?''

''I am pretty sure I am hungry,'' he stated.

''But,'' she sighed. ''Okay, Discord. You may do what you want but don't blame me if you get sick!'' She looked down at her hooves shyly. ''Oh, um...do you mind if you pour in some tea in my cup, as well?''

He smiled warmly and snapped his talons to pop in the tea inside the teapot. He also made the teapot into the shape of a shark. He levitated it to pour the tea inside his teacup and her teacup, which both has just turned into the shape of a goldfish.

''How can you be so creative?'' Fluttershy asked, reaching over to get her cup and smiling back at him.

''Well,'' he said, getting his cup. ''I have practised my chaos magic for over one thousand years.''

She smiled and looked at the clock on her wall.

''Oh my Faust,'' she exclaimed as she got up from her seat. ''Look at the time! I better get going!''

''What?'' his smile disappeared and his ears drooped down. ''Why?''

''I promised Rarity that I would meet her up at the spa at twelve o'clock,'' Fluttershy explained.

Discord was a little disappointed. He huffed and mumbled to himself. ''That pesky little white unicorn.''

''What was that, Discord?'' she asked.

The draconequus looked at Fluttershy's seat but it was empty. He then saw that the yellow pegasus was standing over at the entrance of the cottage.

''Nothing!'' he exclaimed.

Fluttershy shook it off and exited outside of her cottage but instantly came back inside as she remembered something.

''Oh and Discord,'' she said, ''do you mind if you clean up the place?''

The place was looking completely chaotic. There was water filling up the room with Angel paddling through the water with a paddle boat. There was a goat eating grass on top of the table. The sheep was drowning inside the water, but with a snap of his talons everything went back to normal.

Fluttershy smiled and exited out again to flutter over to the Ponyville spa.

Meanwhile, Spike and Big Mac were in Twilight's castle in the throne room. Spike was laying on his throne, blowing a small, little and white feather from his belly to the air. Big Mac was just sitting on Rainbow Dash's throne, sewing up his yoke he wears to pull carts.

There was silence across the whole room but all you could hear was Spike's blowing on the feather.

They were both bored. Since Sugar Belle was apprenticing with Mrs. Cake, Applejack was selling apples in Ponyville with Applebloom, the two boys had nothing to do. They could have hung out with Big Mac's grandmother but they both know how crazy she can get, although Discord is a lot more crazier...although, he preferred the term chaotic. Wait a minute...Discord!

He stood back up in his throne, letting the feather fall to the ground. He ended the silence.

''Hey,'' he called out, ''we should summon up Discord to enter us in the world of Ogre's and Oubliette's again.''

Big Mac thought about it for a second and replied with:

''Ee-yup.''

Spike hopped off from his throne, but he thought to himself that since it is Tuesday, he may have been having a tea party with Fluttershy, but he still yelled out his name.

''Discord?'' he shouted. ''DISCORD!''

And not a moment too soon, the draconequus conveyed in the room with a bright flash.

''Hello, my little ponies!'' he exclaimed and turned to Spike to see an eyebrow raise on him. ''And dragon, of course.''

The baby dragon put on a smile.

''Discord,'' he said, ''we were thinking that since Big Mac and I are bored...how about another night of a round of Ogre's and Oubliette's?''

He smirked. ''Ogre's and Oubliette's? I thought you never asked!''

With a snap of his talons, they found themselves in the world of the game and dressed in their characters they have created: Garbunkle, Sir McBiggun and Captain Wazz.

A group of angry cards were attacking the three heroes. The Squizard was especially attacking them with his sword, but fortunately for Big Mac, he used his magic to get his sword and sliced one of the cards' heads off. Discord joined along as he got out his sword and started slicing the other cards' heads off. Once they were finished with the round, the three of them were chanting around, singing their Guy's Night song.

''It's Guy's Night! Oh, yeah! Having fun now! Oh, yeah!''

After a round of Ogre's and Oubliette's, the three of them trotted around Ponyville to get some fresh air and find something to socialise in.

''So Discord,'' said Spike, ''have you thought about finally asking Fluttershy out? As it is Heart's and Hoove's day tomorrow.''

He raised an eyebrow. ''What do you mean?''

''Don't lie to us, Discord. We all know you and Fluttershy have some sort of chemistry going on between you two, every pony knows! Even Big Mac!'' He turned to the red stallion. ''Right, Big Mac?''

''Ee-yup.''

''Fluttershy and I are perfectly friends,'' he stated. ''And what do you mean chemistry going on between us.''

The baby dragon stopped in his tracks and smirked.

''Quit lyin', old fella.''

The draconequus raised an eyebrow.

''Oh, come on!'' he called. ''Big Mac has his Sugar Belle, I have Rarity...practically, and you still haven't asked Fluttershy out?''

Big Mac nudged him in the shoulders. ''You haven't asked Rarity out, either.''

''Not helping,'' the dragon whispered through his teeth, ''and besides, I will be asking her out tomorrow.''

''Ha!'' Discord teased. ''Like as if she would ever-YOW!''

He was suddenly caught off by an orange tail wagging at him. He soon found out that it was Big Macintosh with a moody expression upon his face.

''Anyways,'' said Spike, ''how about we hook you and Fluttershy up if you are too coward to ask her out all by yourself.''

The draconequus huffed. ''Me? Coward? I'll show you! I'll show you all that I will ask her out all by myself! Watch her accept my feelings back! Not like Rarity would towards you.'' He snapped his fingers to teleport to his dimension.

At Discord's chaos dimension, the draconequus was wandering around in circles trying to think of what to do on Heart's and Hoove's day tomorrow. He would always help Big Mac and Sugar Belle with their Heart's and Hoove's day but never thought about himself.

If it is true what Spike had claimed...Discord shook his head.

''No,'' he uttered.

He doesn't like her and even if he does, he would eventually have asked her out a long time ago because he is the great and fierce Discord! Right...?

Discord thought back to all those times he had spent time with her and when Fluttershy had stood up for him all those times. She was his first ever friend. Whenever they spent time with each other, his heart suddenly pounds inside his chest. The longer they spend, the longer he is compelled to stay with her.

He will admit that she was attractive, for a pony. It was funny to him because he would never find a pony to his liking. He usually liked chaotic things, for obvious reasons: his name, title, power and personality. Also, if he did like her, Fluttershy would definitely would never return back his feelings. I mean, think back to all those times he had hurt her. He had turned her into something cruel, caused havoc on Equestria several times! Including him betraying them to join Tirek's side, or even freed the four most devious and evil villains of Equestria to boost her friend's confidence.

He had made her cry because of betrayal. Although, he had told her that he only joined Tirek because he thought they were all pretending to be his friends and because...Tirek seduced him to join and brainwashed him into evil and made him think that chaos and power is more important than friendship.

Discord was so lucky to have Fluttershy as a friend. No matter how times he made mistakes or had hurt her, she would always forgive him no matter what. He will admit that he wasn't perfect, but he knew that he wasn't the only one who does mistakes. Every pony does! Even the princess of friendship and Starlight Glimmer!

Discord was thinking of what to do for her and as he thought up a plan, he materialized a lightbulb between his antlers for emphasis.

He chuckled. Oh, this is perfect. He thought to himself.

He conjured up a table in front of him, along with a chair so he could sit down. He also snapped his talons to magic up a piece of paper and a quill.

He thought of what to write to her. Maybe a love poem? Maybe a letter to tell her about his feelings towards her? No, that wouldn't be right. He has to do that face-to-face. He wrote on the paper to whatever had came to his mind.

Dear Fluttershy,

I am writing this letter to you because I just wanted to let you know that...as it is Heart's and Hoove's day, I want to say that I am so glad to have you as a friend and I do enjoy every presence of you. I really do enjoy our lovely tea parties and our social get-together. You were the only friend I ever had and had truly accepted me, plus stood up for me back then.

I admire you more than chaos, which is funny to me because I never find anything worthy than chaos. You are special and important to me, Fluttershy. I feel like I could tell you any jokes and get a graceful laugh out of you.

Those ponies were wrong about you. You are not a worthless little wimpy pegasus. I hope we can carry out on this 'friend' thing more often.

Love,
Discord

Discord gagged at the word 'love', he would never use that word to end a letter when he is writing to his dear friend, Fluttershy. He would always use 'your friendly neighbourhood' or just 'Discord'.

Discord shook it off and sealed the letter with a stamp, he had conjured up. He dematerialized the letter out the window into green flames, just like Spike, in stead he did it with his talons, not his fire breath. He sent the letter to the post office so they could send it to her.

At the spa, Fluttershy and Rarity had just entered the place and the two mares zoomed towards them. Rarity and Fluttershy gave the same orders as usual. First, they had their usual hooficure.

The two customers were laying on the chairs, lending over their hooves towards the spa ponies so they could do the hooficure on them. Rarity started up a conversation so it wouldn't be boring.

''So Fluttershy,'' she said, ''you know it is Heart's and Hoove's day tomorrow, right? So...are you thinking of asking some pony out?''

''Oh,'' she blushed. ''No...not really. What about you?''

The unicorn flirtingly sighed. ''Isn't it wonderful? Fancy Pants just asked me out yesterday, just like I ever imagined. Apparently, he broke up with his girlfriend because she only cared about his money and fame so he searched for a mare to be his new girlfriend and guess who that lucky mare was!''

They transferred to the steam room.

''You?'' she said.

''Yes,'' Rarity replied, ''isn't it amazing?''

''Oh,'' said Fluttershy. ''Rarity, that is wonderful! But what about Spike?''

''What do you mean by that?''

''Rarity, you know that he likes you and all.''

''Oh,'' she didn't know what to say. ''Um...well, uh...anyways, how is it going between you and Discord?''

''What do you mean by that?'' she asked. ''He is such a big softie. He is actually a real sweetheart once you get to know him, despite his past...mistakes.''

Rarity chuckled slightly. ''Yeah, I can only imagine.''

They exited out of the spa and continued talking whilst walking. Rarity approached her with another question, but this time was with a stutter.

''But are you trying to...well, um...you know, make it even more than just friends.''

She blushed. ''I...I don't know what you are talking about, Rarity.''

Rarity examined that blush on her cheek and smirked.

''You were saying,'' she muttered under her breath with a smirk.

The next day on Heart's and Hoove's day, Spike woke up cheerfully from his bed with a smile upon his face. He was so excited to get up, not even an ounce of tiredness was inside of him. He ran towards the door as he wore his favourite bow tie Rarity had made for him...and for Owlowiscious as well.

He also brought out the most beautiful gem, from his gem box, to give to Rarity. He then zoomed out the door in a hurry.

He went passed Twilight and Starlight as they were eating breakfast.

''Spike!'' Twilight called. ''Aren't you here for breakfast?''

''No time, Twilight!'' Spike shouted all the way from the entrance of the castle. ''It is finally my chance to shine Rarity with my charm.''

Starlight chuckled. ''Shouldn't you eat breakfast...''

She realised at that last word that Spike had already left.

''...first?''

At Rarity's Carousel Boutique, Spike was about to knock on the door when something occurred to him. He ruffled his bow tie into place so he doesn't look like a ruffian in front of a gorgeous and beautiful pony. Rarity hates ruffians!

As he was inches away to knock on the door, it opened with an aura of blue magic. Standing at the door was Rarity with another stallion...wait a minute! It's Fancy Pants, the stallion who is important in Canterlot! What is some pony like him doing here at Rarity's house? Could he...?

''Oh,'' Rarity said. ''Spike! I didn't see you there, darling. Now what can I do for you?''

He was going to give her the gem but in stead he turned away and swallowed it quickly so she couldn't see it. He turned back to look at her. She was wearing a beautiful pink dress with fluffs around her shoulders and a tiara on top of her head. He also saw that Fancy Pants was wearing a black, ironed, and not wrinkled as usual, suit.

This made him stiff a little. Could they be...? No! They couldn't be! He has a girlfriend...or maybe, they broke up? Spike had to ask, but he did with a stutter:

''Where...where are you going today?'' he asked.

''Oh...well, Fancy Pants and I are just going out to a restaurant for lunch,'' the white unicorn responded. ''Now, what is it that you wanted?

This shattered the little dragon's heart. After how happy he was, after how hard he tried to impress her, this had to happen. He had lost his chances. Discord was right. He will never be good enough for such a beautiful mare like her. He ducked his head in shame.

''It's...it's nothing.''

He walked away with tears. Rarity heard him stiff and raised an eyebrow.

''Spike, are you alright?'' she asked. ''Spike? Spikey-Wikey!''

Meanwhile, Fluttershy was walking by her cottage until she spotted a mail pony tucking a letter inside her mailbox. The yellow pegasus fluttered over to her.

''Thank you,'' she said, getting the letter from her hooves.

''No problem!'' Derpy said, flying away from the pony and the mailbox.

Fluttershy waved as she read her letter. On the front, it wrote Discord's name on it so she opened it. Maybe, just maybe...he wants to ask her out since it's Heart's and Hoove's day? Fluttershy was a little excited but it didn't last long as another thought occurred to her and questions filled her head.

Why would the Lord of Chaos love such a wimpy pegasus? She is even scared of her own shadow. Why would some pony, or creature in this case, like a pony so...naïve?

Fluttershy shook them off and started opening the letter. She read:

Dear Fluttershy,

I am writing this letter to you because I just wanted to let you know that...as it is Heart's and Hoove's day, I want to say that I am so glad to have you as a friend and I do enjoy every presence of you. I really do enjoy our lovely tea parties and our social get-together. You were the only friend I ever had and had truly accepted me, plus stood up for me back then.

I admire you more than chaos, which is funny to me because I never find anything worthy than chaos. You are special and important to me, Fluttershy. I feel like I could tell you any jokes and get a graceful laugh out of you.

Those ponies were wrong about you. You are not a worthless little wimpy pegasus. I hope we can carry on this 'friend' thing more often.

Love,
Discord

Fluttershy widened her eyes and put her hoof to her chest in adoration and stared at the last phrase. Discord had never used 'love' in any of his letters he had sent. He would always use 'your friendly neighbourhood' or something like that.

But the whole thing flattered her. She couldn't believe it, someone that she loves returned her feelings!...Wait a minute, Fluttershy. Don't get your hopes up too fast. It's probably just in a friend way.

Fluttershy stared at the word 'friend' on the paper. Her lips quivered and sighed, though she hugged the letter tight to her chest. This must be one of her favourite letters from him.

The draconequus was walking in town, looking at all the happy couples around him as he went by. He saw Lyra and Bon Bon exchanging gifts, Cranky and Matilda kissing each other on a table, full of food. He even saw Yona and Sandbar snuggling each other! Discord wanted to admit that he wanted that. He wanted some pony, or creature, to touch him, comfort him, kiss...

Now, wait a minute, Discord. Just a momentary lapse! He sighed. He just hoped that Fluttershy could accept his affections and return it...wait, does he love her?

''Ahhh!'' a filly screamed as she ran away from the draconequus.

''You beast!'' a colt exclaimed.

''Beast?'' Discord was taken aback from this. He growled through his teeth and clenched his fist. He formed cotton candy clouds to create a thunderstorm up in the sky.

Lots of fillies and colts ran away from him in fear, screaming in horror. Discord dematerialized the cotton candy clouds and thunder storm. Discord sighed and walked to the opposite way that he was going to.

On the way, he met a nasty pony who made a nasty comment about him.

''Oh,'' she said, ''well...look at what we got here. Still want to cause havoc on Equestria?''

''What?'' he huffed. ''Of course not!''

''Right,'' she smirked at him, ''you know it is Heart's and Hoove's day today and I don't think Fluttershy will ever return your feelings towards her.''

''I...How did you know that?''

''Isn't it obvious?'' she smirked. ''Every pony knows it. I bet she does too but will push you away like a doormat.''

He growled through his teeth as the pony flicked her tail at him and continued walking to where she was going. Discord sighed. She's right. There is no reason why a graceful pony like her would love a beast like him. She is perfect and he is...he is a monster that had hurt her so many times. He still won't let those regrets flow from his head.

He thought of an idea on how to win Fluttershy's heart. Mares tend to love stallions that are handsome, not hideous like him. So he took the form of a pony but it still gave it away with the grey coat, yellow and red eyes, white goatee and white mane. He just hoped that Fluttershy wouldn't notice. He hoped for it to work.

He trotted to Fluttershy's cottage and when he reached there, he gently knocked on the door.

Maybe I should have took the form of a unicorn. He thought to himself. And it was too late to change into a unicorn because the door had already opened.

At that moment, the door creaked and a yellow pegasus appeared beside the door with a smile upon her face.

''Oh,'' she said. ''Hello! Do I know you?''

''No,'' he coughed and changed his voice. ''I mean, no. You don't know me. But I am just a random stallion living in Ponyville and I saw you around with that fabulous beauty of yours.''

Fluttershy blushed slightly a little. ''Thank you.''

''No problem, my dear...I mean,'' he realised that his true self would always call her that so quickly changed it. ''Sweetheart.'' He cringed at that word.

Fluttershy chuckled. She could have sworn she had saw him before. Meanwhile, Discord was too caught up in that graceful laugh of hers.

''Should I...I mean, may I...come in?''

''Of course.'' She stepped aside so he could step in.

''So, um...tell me about yourself.'' Fluttershy blushed.

''Oh.'' He turned around to meet her beautiful teal eyes. ''My name is...uh...'' He looked around her cottage to come up with a name. He then glanced at his cutie mark. It was a picture of a tornado. ''Tornado Hurricane!''

''That's a nice name.'' She smiled.

''No!'' he exclaimed. ''Just Hurricane!''

''Even better.'' She chuckled, walking up to her couch to have a seat. 'Hurricane' followed her and sat down right next to her.

''So Hurricane,'' she said, ''do you have any pony that you are interested in?''

He gulped. ''No...well, yes...no!'' He took a deep breath. ''Actually, I came to confess.''

She tilted her head in confusion. ''About what?''

He took her hoof. ''Fluttershy, I just would like to say that...you are beautiful, graceful, enchanting, your stare is too mesmerising to resist! I mean, forget that last part...what I mean is that...um, well...you could guess that...'' He took a deep breath and choked out the three words. ''I LOVE YOU!''

Fluttershy's eyes widened. She scooted in closer and whispered inside his ear.

''I love you too, Discord.''

The draconequus' eyes widened. How did she know? He was about to back away to question but she had already pulled him into a deep and passionate kiss. His eyes widened than ever. He saw that her eyes were closed and relaxed so followed her movement. His heart was pounding faster than usual.

He couldn't believe she was doing this. Why is she doing this? She loves him. He couldn't believe it...he won't believe it! Anyways, he shook out of those thoughts and slowly enjoyed their first kiss. Her lips tasted like cherries and cotton candy dipped in chocolate milk. It tasted...sweet. He...enjoyed it.

After a long eternity later, they both slowly pulled away to breathe. They both caught a site of blush in each other's cheeks. Fluttershy hid it with her smelling rose petalled mane, whereas Discord just stared in space trying to process at what had just happened.

He then shook out of his trance and transformed back into his true self. He met his gaze with Fluttershy again. Their eyes met. They both blushed awkwardly.

''How did...how did you know it was me?'' he asked. ''Was it the 'my dear' phrase or the white goatee?''

Fluttershy scootered in closer to him again.

''Maybe it's because I know you too well to know it's you.''

She touched his paw but he turned away.

''You love me, is that...true?''

''Yes,'' she said, taking his paw again. ''For a very long time, as well.''

''But why? I'm...a monster. You shouldn't love me! No one should! What's so good in me that you love about me? I...I...I'm a trigger to this world that made so many mistakes and hurt you so many times. I think you shouldn't have done that. There is no way that a imperfect beast would have the perfect little princess.''

Fluttershy was taken aback by this and took her hoof away from his paw.

''Discord,'' she said, ''you are not a monster, nor you are a trigger to this world. And making mistakes? Who cares about making mistakes? No pony is perfect, or creature...even I make mistakes like when I turned into a monster and hurt Rarity's and Pinkie Pie's feelings!'' She saddened at that memory but shook it off. ''What I mean is that I love you because you are sweet, kind, funny, caring and I feel like I could always count on you.''

Discord's eyes widened as she pecked a kiss on his cheek. He caressed her cheek and brushed out her mane. It smelt like rose petals. Her cheek was as soft as caressing a teddy bear.

''But,'' he uttered. ''Are you sure you want this?''

''Of course,'' she said. ''Discord, I love you.''

''Yeah...but, I am not really young...and my looks...''

He was suddenly caught off as the yellow pegasus flew into his arms and leaned her head against his chest. She placed a hoof on his lips.

''I don't care,'' she said, ''I love you for you.''

''Well...in that case,'' he grinned smugly.

They both pulled each other into another long and passionate kiss. Fortunately, none of them saw Big Mac and the candy corn crusaders spying from the window in awe. (Get it? Because their coat colours joined together is the colours of a candy corn. And they have their cutie marks already so I think it's only fair to change it to that now).

''That was so romantic!'' Sweetie Belle sighed.

''Wow,'' Applebloom marvelled, ''they really are the perfect interspecies couple!''

''Ee-yup!'' exclaimed Big Mac with glee in his deep tone.

''Yuck!'' Scootaloo gagged, sticking her tongue out. ''Talk about disgusting.''

The elderly stallion and the two fillies stared at her with displeasing eyes.

''What?'' she said.

''Anyways,'' said Applebloom. ''Any pony up for bowling?''

The elderly stallion and the two fillies gasped. ''Yeah!''

At Twilight's Castle, Spike was crying in his bedroom and throwing gemstones all around the room in anger, but that anger soon faded into misery. He pouted on the floor, sulking.

Unfortunately, he didn't see a purple alicorn walking inside his bedroom and over to him. She slowly caressed him on the back. This made Spike perk up from his sulking position.

''Twilight?''

''Are you okay, Spike?''

He turned around again. ''No.''

''I am sorry that it didn't work out between you and Rarity,'' she laid a comforting hoof on top of his shoulder. ''But some things just aren't meant to be, Spike.''

''Easy for you to say,'' he trotted towards his mirror and touched his face on the mirror. ''You don't know what it is like for your crush to not like you back.''

She blushed. ''What do you mean?''

He squinted his eyes at her. ''Twilight, this is not the time to be lying to me right now.'' He curled up back to his sulking position on the ground.

He continued. ''You are right. I am too young for some pony like her to love me. I am a whole different creature compared to her. I...I...maybe I don't belong here.''

The violet alicorn trotted towards him and sat next to him.

''What?'' she said. ''What are you talking about? There is no such thing as 'different' and Discord can end up with Fluttershy so you can end with some pony you will find someday.'' She wrapped her wing around him. ''You will find her someday, Spike.''

Spike perked up from the ground. ''Or...'' He stood up from the ground. ''Maybe...just maybe...this whole time, I Just wasn't enough!''

''What?!''

''Maybe I wasn't charming enough for her! I can't give up on my one true love!''

Twilight slapped her face with her hoof as she watched him run outside the door, yelling:

''Hold on, Rarity! I am coming!''

Author's Notes:

Did it work, Spike?

*sigh* No...but I did end up getting a beating by her new boyfriend.

ugh. so what now?

now, i will be going high over heels for applejack!

wait what
