Poisoned Chaos

      As soon as they got home, Fluttershy immediately went to fix Discord’s tail-coat. Fortunately, damage wasn’t too bad and there was no heed in patches, so she just sewed the holes up so neat that you couldn’t tell at first glance the suit was ever ripped. That was one of many things Discord loved in Fluttershy — her neatness. While she was dealing with holes on his tail-coat, Dee desised to check on Angel, for as you remember Fake Flutteshy took him away “to his cage”, who knows what she could really had done to him. Luckily, when the magician enetered the room with the bunny cage, which was pantry near the kitchen, the bunny was there kicking the grille with his legs. Such view amuzed the magician. “Whould you look at that! So, my dear prisoner, how does it feel to be locked there?” Smirked Discord, opening the cage. Bunny stopped kicking, looking at Discord in surprise, and as soon as the little cage door opened he jumped out and clung to his neck, as if during this time he had missed him greatly. “Hey, hey, easy! You’re gonna suffocate me like that,” short pause, “Oh, I get it, is this your plan?”       Bunny rapidly shook his head as if saiyng no. “Alright, I’ll believe you for now. But just for now,” Discord took the bunny into his hands and put him on the floor, “You know, I cannot trust people, especialy after what happened.”       Angel nodded in understanding. “Huh. I wish I knew what you’re thinking about me now. Anyway,” Discord stood up and crunched his back again before leaving. As he entered the corridor without noticing Angel following him, he looked around in suspicion. Every little thing in the house, every shadow seemed like a changling waiting for it’s prey to him due to his kidnapping experience. You know, our dear magician is not a cowardly type of person, yet he didn’t like the perspective of being kidnapped again and possibly killed. Not to mention his magic being stolen from him. Thinking about it, Discord shuddered every few steps he made towards his bedroom. A few terrible ideas of what’s gonna happen came to his mind, but due to avoiding spoilers we’re not gonna talk about it. “Discord?” He heard as he stepped into the bedroom, “You look worried.”       Fluttershy put already fixed tail-coat aside and walked to her husband. Tender, who was sitting in the bed next to her, extended her tiny hands to her dad as soon as she saw him. "I'm fine, Fluttershy. Just a little tired." "Honey," Flutty gently stroked his cheeck, "I feel something's wrong. You can tell me what troubles you." "That's the thing, I can't," Discord sighed, "It's for your own safety. I don't wanna risk neither you nor our baby." "Oh. I see. It must be hard to experience being kidnapped," Fluttershy gently nuzzled to his chest. Magician shuddered and looked at her with a slight fear, shock and disbelief. "How... How did you know I was kidnapped?" "You've gone missing so suddenly. No one have seen you for a while either," Fluttershy looked at him with her big sad eyes, "You also said yourself you've run across some familiar people you hate." "Oh. Right. Sorry." "You need to rest. You must be very exhausted." "We all could use some rest. Me, you and, of cource, our baby girl."

      The next day was a little more joyful than the previous one. Everyone was preparing for the upcoming Nightmare Night, which was going to come in just a few days: Discord and his family along with Smoothie were decorating the house with some spooky garlands and other stuff. To everyones surprise, the magician desided to use a ladder to get to the roof this year.       While the count already placed a pumpkin on the roof edge and was about to put on a ghost garland, Rainbow and Twilight walked towards his house. Twi just wanted to check on her friends, and Rainbow volunteered to escort her, aware of possible unfriendly criminal being somewhere near. Discord noticed them from afar and gasped, turning on his chaotic silliness: "Strike me down with thunder! The princess and the refraction of light are right on course!'' "Ugh..," Rainbow was confused. "Eyes of an eagle, Discord," Twi complimented him. "Hi, girls," Fluttersy smiled, "Didn't expect you here at that time." "I've desided to check if you need any help here." "Alas, we almost finished, no need to help us," said Discord as he was about to go down the ladder, though he stopped after just two steps. "Shame. I could use some break from all that paperwork. I'm not complaining, but you know I'm not that nerdy." "Yeah, yeah... definitely- Catch!"       A huge pumpkin flew down off the roof at Twilight all of the sudden. If Rainbow Das didn't drag her away, it would end up tragicaly. The pumpkin exploded before reaching the grownd with a sound similar to the gun with silencer, and it's insides got all other the princess, the officer and a little on startled Fluttershy. "Sweet Celestia! What the hay was that?" "Sorry, my bad," Discord slipped down the ladder, "That thing was too heavy, i dropped it." "Dropped it and yelled "Catch"? You thought me and Twilight would be able to catch this bucking thing? That doesn't make any sence!" "Make sence?" Discord smirked, walking all the way around the girls, "What fun it is in making sence?" "Messing with us again?" Dash narrowed her eyes in suspicion and took out a gun just to be sure, "This time you'll be arested without questioning!" "Chillax, Fluttershy is my wife now, I have no reason to kidnap her agai- Look out!"       Dash had time only to blink as he took a big knife out of another pupmkin and threw it at her. Luckily again, she managed to dodge so the knife flew towards the circus tent, dissapearing in it's entenance with a "Ow, buck!" sound. As Rainbow catch her breaf after the shock, she rapidly turned her head to Discord, who's hand was extended in the direction of the knife. "What is wrong with you?!" "Dashie, Dashie, calm down," Twilight gabbed her shoulders. "Discord? What's wrong?" Fluttershy was worried about her husband. "I... I need to leave. Sorry, ladies," Discord made a curtsy and ran towards the circus tent, leaving the girls alone. Their eyes followed him before he disappeared inside. "He's sus. Listen, could it be that..?" "No, Rainbow. I trust him and I can asure you he is not an impostor." "Well, I do not. I have no reason to do so. Let's just go." "If it makes you feel better. See you later, Fluttershy."       Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle left after waving Fluttershy goodbye. She sighed and got back home. Her husband really was acting strange lately: afraid of anything, throwing things at people. He was already chaotic for sure, but his behavior was a lot different from his nature now. "He must be stressed out," Fluttershy guessed. "Who's stressed out?" Smoothie asked, coming to the corridor with baby Tender in his arms. "Discord is. He's so nervous lately. Do you think he needs a therapist?" "Don't worry about him. As far as I've known him, he never needed a therapy for more than twenty years straight. He'll be fine." "He is fine indeed!" The front door opened and Discord walked in elegantly, taking his hat off. "Were you planning my funeral already?" "Of course not, honey," Fluttershy smiled, "You're not that old." "Oh ho ho, I sure am not. Sixty plus years is the youth of mine! Right, my baby girl?"       Discord smiled widely, leaning down to his daughter, who was holding into Smooze's arm. Tender looked at her father, blinked in confusion and turned away, nuzzling into chubby's shoulder. "Aww, my shy baby," magician smiled as he took the baby from Smoothie, while she immediately helplessly extended her tiny arms to chubby boi and her mum, "Alright, enough chit-chating. We still have a lot to do."
