Kid Anon and Fluttermom Part 9

>a few days past
>Despite it still being abit awkward for you, you start to call Fluttershy "mom". Your routine never changes, but the relationship between you two seemed to finally clicked into a proper place.
>Angel was abit uneasy about it at first. But Fluttershy assuring him she didn't love him any less, and you giving him ALL your cookies fixed that.
>You felt a small amount of sadness not being able to say goodbye to Pinkie. But you didn't get too hanged up over it. You knew you'd both meet again. And she left the cake.....huzzah for cake.
>You never stopped working hard to assist Fluttershy, if anything. You became more dutiful to make sure she didn't have to work so hard. Even if your skills were very limited. You did your best.
>On a day like any other day. You found yourself dusting the cottage as Fluttershy prepared lunch. You had something in mind that you wanted to check up on. It had been some time you had met Rarity. And you wanted to see her again, if only to check up on the status of those clothes.
>You also wanted to someday learn to make food like Fluttershy. Sometimes she took an awful long time if too many animals were present. She never seemed to complain, but it must have been daunting to remember each animal's indivisual taste.
>You started dusting the table with the tarped cake. There wasn't much left of it now. Due to nightly sneakings of you and Angel taking extra portions.
>As you dusted, a bright light filled the room, making you cover your eyes. Was that...was that Pinkie again?
>You fell back on a chair
>Suddenly, what appeared to be some misshapen serpent, with yellow eyes with crimson pupils appeared in the room, he seemed to be wearing a shirt. And hold on?...was...was he in half?!?! He was just floating, making a walking motion towards Fluttershy. Complaining about something as Fluttershy just gave a small smile.
>There was no doubt, this had to be Discord.
>"Fluttershy would you be a dear and make a cup of hot cocoa? I'm simply too steamed up to make one of my own right now."
>You just stood there and watched. He just came in and just asked for cocoa. No hellos, no how do you do's. And Fluttershy seemed absolutely ok with this as she began to make him a cup, asking him why he was so angry.
>As she poured the chocolate into a cup, he just simply takes before she can even heat it up. What? You thought....
>Suddenly, a flame pops out of the cup as the chocolate began to let off steam. "Ahh Fluttershy you simply wouldn't believe it, I had planned to have a victory at today's bowling tournament when...well.." He stopped to remove a horn and pour chocolate into the horn, you could hear gurgling sounds. This....this was way too bizarre.
>He tossed the cup out the window. You thought for sure Fluttershy was going to say something about it, but she didn't even budge. Why?
>The cup came back through the other window, amazingly, sparkling clean as it flew back into the cupboard. "Well...I lost"
>Fluttershy just flew up and patted his shoulder. "Now now Discord, the fact that you gave it your best should be enough, it's never good to be a sore loser.
>Discord snorted "Yes well, you have no idea how unexpected my loss was, I'd never had expected it in a thousand years."
>Fluttershy seemed curious as to who he could have lost to, hell. You leaned in abit to hear the answer as Fluttershy asked who beat him. You thought to yourself "Who could beat a god?"
>Discord put an elbow on the counter and looked unamusingly near the front door and pointed. "I lost to my apparant "better half""
>Suddenly, his lower torso appeared. Dancing about with a bowling trophy lodged into it's stump.
>Discord just shook his head and looked towards Fluttershy "Can you believe such arrogance? he's been taunting me all day"
>You yelp in surprise as you fall back on the chair and hide from the dancing torso that was looming closer to you. You cry out "Mooooom!". Bears are one thing, but you had no idea what that thing was capable of.
>Fluttershy hurriedly flew towards you and shoo'd the torso away. She asked if you were ok, and helped you up. You nodded, but you had no idea what to say.
>Fluttershy could tell you had taken quite a fright and turned towards Discord and asked him if he could do something about his manic bottom half.
>Discord agreed and snapped his fingers, Causing the lower torso to teleport to it's proper place.
>With a quick flash, Discord appeared floating directly directly above you and placed a finger ontop of your head. "Fluttershy, did this creature just call you "mom"?"
>Did he just call you " Creature"? You actually felt anger over that, moreso than being called an animal. You were about to attempt "correcting him" when Fluttershy spoke first.
>"Discord be nice, please.Wouldn't you like to introduce yourself?"
>Discord huffed, as if he was being cockblocked. You took a breath and prepared for his introduction. Maybe under all you've seen so far he really is a nice guy. It's not like others hadn't insinuated the same conclusion.
>Discord eyed you for a moment before putting out his odd paw. "It's a pleasure to meet you, I am Discord, spirit of chaos."
>You smile and Fluttershy smiles, that was very polite. You reach to shake his paw/hand/thing with your own. As you grasp it and shake, it detaches from Discord. You yelp and fall back in fright as Discord laughs maniacally. "Ohhhh Fluttershy, Where in Equestria did you ever find this one, he's soooo easy"
>You throw the thing away as it reappears and reattaches back to Discord. Fluttershy looked at Discord with ultimate dismay as he cackled.
>"Discord...."
>He calmed down and wiped a tear from his eye. He stated how he loved the idea of her being an adoptive mother, and asked if he could be the father.
>"....Discord...."
>He started rummaging into a floating bag, pulling out nonsensical objects as he looked for a ring. This guy was friends with Fluttershy? He's.....mean...and intolerable.....and scary.
>"....Discord...."
>He pulled out a cheap plastic ring and presented it to Fluttershy, but the moment he saw her face. He stopped, he looked worried. Fluttershy meanwhile was looking ALMOST angry.
>"....Discord"
>Discord threw the ring backwards "Your right, it's much too soon for me to be settled down, I still have so much more fun I can have before that even becomes a..."
>Finally Fluttershy explodes....sorta...
>"DISCORD!"
>Never the loudest, but if Fluttershy had to yell at all. It was serious. But she was usually alot more patient, was it because he was messing with you. You didn't know what to do or say. Discord himself stopped, he actually looked genuinely worried.
>Fluttershy took a breath and tried calming down, she apologised to him for yelling like she did. But then implored him to treat you nicely and introduce himself properly. You at this point didn't want to be anywhere near him.
>"Fluttershy, you're being absolutely unreasonable. Now come on, I came to see if you wanted to go on a picnic with me, I was even on planning on inviting....."
>Suddenly, he releases a dart from his tail as it hit's a board with ponies on it. It hit Rainbow Dash's eye.
".......Rainbow Dash, I'm sure she'd love to come enjoy a lovely lunch with us"
>Fluttershy calmly shuts down his offer. Which to your surprise, he seems to actually feel hurt over. Suddenly he got angry, atleast he acted angry.
>"Fluttershy, I shouldn't have to introduce myself to everypony I meet. I'm "Discord, spirit of chaos!".....not "Discord,door greeter.""
>Fluttershy frowned "But Discord, how do you expect to make any friends if you keep being a meanie like that?"
>Discord scoffed, he rolled down a checklist with marks checked on pictures of Twilight,Rarity,Pinkie,Fluttershy,Rainbow Dash, And a white, grand looking pony with an oddly colored flowing mane, but she looked tall and elegant. Like a horse. Oh and Applejack was on there too.
>Each pony had a checkmark, with Fluttershy having several, and Twilight having two. He pointed to the pictures and told her he had made enough friends. And he felt hurt being called a meanie, stating he would stop a world takeover if she asked him to.
>Fluttershy apologised for calling him a meanie, but didn't remark on anything else he said. Instead she pointed out that apparantly, the friends he had now was essentially handed to him due to an order from somepony named Celestia. And while she values and cherishes their friendship. She'd be happy to know that he was capable of making a friend on his own.
>Discord crossed his arms, stating he didn't need to make more friends. He was happy as is. He then tried inviting Fluttershy to said picnic again.
>"I'm sorry Discord. I'm already in the middle of making lunch for everypony....besides...I bet you'd understand how good it felt to make friends on your own if you really really reaaaalllyy gave it a try. I know you could do it"
>Discord turned around, and groaned. "I see how it is, Well then. I guess I'll be having a picnic by myself, by my lonesome, on my very own....". He sounded pretty upset with each passing example.
>But Fluttershy just bid him a nice goodbye and wished him well as she went back to making lunch.
>And with that, Discord disappeared.
>You sighed. Glad he was gone, you couldn't believe you wanted to meet this guy. You thought he'd be cool. How could Fluttershy be friends with such a jerk.
>But before you could say a word. He reappeared with renewed vigor and smiled at Fluttershy. "soooooo....if I make a new friend...will you go on a picnic with me tommorow?"
>Fluttershy smiled at him and said she'd happily go anyway, but she'd be very happy with him. And stated that everyone would probably like him more.
>Discord raised an eyebrow and contemplated this "I see......Well Fluttershy, You've talked me into it with those expert interrogation skills you just happen to have. But I can't very well make a friend unless somepony was willing to try along with me"
>And with that, you jumped in the air and volunteered to help him with this endeavour. Wait....why did you do that?...you didn't want to be near him.
>Discord smiled, almost evilly, as he stated how delighted he was you'd volunteer. Fluttershy was bewildered, you warmed up quite quick to the idea it seemed.
>You stated how fun it might be, in which Discord nodded and agreed. Oh god no, what were you doing? Why? You couldn't control yourself.
>"Anon...are you....sure about this?" Fluttershy seemed to be worried that'd you'd agree to such a thing after being scared out of your mind.
>You almost got a word of protest. But Discord interjected, telling her how happy he is to be given the chance to make his own friend with someone like you. And then promised Fluttershy he'd be on his best behaviour, make sure he was fed, and would become best chums. You nodded....oh god stop it.
>Fluttershy tried to tell him she'd prefer it if he stayed in the cottage. But he countered her with his own brand of logic.
>"How am I supposed to make friends if you have to correct me on every little thing, really Fluttershy. I wish you'd have abit more faith in me.". He made puppy dog sad eyes at her. >Fluttershy faltered and thought perhaps...he was right....NO NO PLEASE NO.
>Discord smiled and assured her you'd be absolutely fine. and said his goodbyes. You even said your goodbyes. Quite against your will. But your face suggested you didn't want to go. Unfortunatly, Fluttershy took it as a "I'll miss you" face, and told you everything will be ok. how cruel.
>And with a snap of his fingers. You and Discord dissapeared.
>In a flash of blinding light, you both appear in an empty field. Discord resting under a singular tree as you regain full control of yourself and panic, crying for your mommy.
>Discord snickered and told you to give it a rest. He then put on sunglasses as he enjoyed the warming glow of the sun.
>You were scared and angry, you demanded he take you back home.
>He just laid there, soaking up sun and telling you how juvenile you were being after just agreeing to this mockery of friend making.
>You yelled at him that he made you do it, that he was a liar and a cheat. And continued your demands. You even went up to kick him, and the moment your foot connected. He exploded.
>There wasn't any blood, just a black charred mark, his beard, and his horns. You were horrified. You didn't mean to kill him, you were suddenly screaming apologies into the air.
>"Oh that's quite alright, I'm quite delighted that you're being oh so apologetic after kicking me. It's what a friend would do after all."
>Discord materialised next to the tree and leaned against it, filing and examining his claws.
>You didn't know how to feel, nothing was making sense anymore. You were afraid he was going to torment you like this all day. You implored him to take you back to Fluttershy.
>"I'm afraid I can't do that....Anon, was it?...Fluttershy would most likely hold me responsible if she saw what a baby you were being. And besides, I don't think were actually friends yet."
>You couldn't believe what you were hearing. He had to be doing this just to torture you, you were dreading what else he had in store.
>He smiled at you. He seemed to be delighting in every tortured wail you were making. He didn't seem to care about anyone but himself. Did....did he force Fluttershy to be his friend? Did he torment her too? She spoke so highly of him, but now it seemed it was all a lie.
>"Oh Anon, I feel like my old self again when i'm around you. Ponies didn't really appreciate my kind of fun either....hmmmm...then again I suppose that was their fault for not having a very good funny bone"
>Old self? oh geez...was...was there a time he tortured groups of ponies for kicks? You started crawling backwards as he approached you.
>"Ahhh, but I suppose that is why we must improve ourselves. To be better than we used to be....not me,really...I already know I'm the best. But alas, I did tell Fluttershy I'd make friends with you. And I don't want to make her upset, oh golly gee, not one bit."
>You doubted he even cared how Fluttershy felt.
But as you backed up, you found yourself hitting a wall.....of..plastic?
>Discord stopped and pointed behind you. You slowly looked back, afraid of what horrors he may have conjured up. Instead what you found was toys, tons of it. And snacks, candy treats, and comic books. You were sure it was a trap. But you couldn't escape.
>Discord cleared his throat. "Now then, I'd rather not go on about this nonsense for more than a few hours. So I offer you all this to play with and keep, if you will just tell Fluttershy that we became very...very...good friends."
>You were silent and skeptical at first, why did he even care? He didn't seem to care....
>You start tapping at the toys. They seemed to be normal. You fearfully asked Discord what was going on.
>He floats up and makes an orange drink appear and sips from a straw. But it's like he's draining the color from the drink than the actual drink itself.
>"Nothing more than a trade, I realised I may...and that is indeed a big may...have made a mistake. But I know I can make it up to Fluttershy if I just make you my friend. Children love toys don't they?"
>You started to calm down, but stayed cautionary at any tricks he may pull. But he wasn't doing anything else. You look at him.
>"W-what are you doing?"
>Discord looked unamused as he threw the glass down as it phased through the ground. "Being a "friend", I'd really rather Fluttershy not be sad just because you couldn't handle a joke. Surely somepony such as yourself enjoy toys and treats?"
>you did. And there was quite alot to be had. And you didn't want to actually be friends with him. But for all this, you'd fake it. You wouldn't be hurting Fluttershy by just telling her you and him were friends. But you had to ask.
>"Why do you care about mom so much?"
>Discord eyed you, he wasn't hesitant with his surprising answer. "Because she's my best friend, and I care deeply for her. Why else would I bother? Really Anon, I fear Fluttershy might not be teaching you properly if you couldn't figure that out"
>Discord chuckled abit and told you that he'd leave you here with everything while he slept under the nearby tree. After a few hours, you and him would return to Fluttershy and you'd keep your end of the deal. Discord turned and floated over to the tree, snapping his fingers one more time to make a rather hearty meal appear before you.
>You stared at it, and poked around it. It...seemed safe enough. You still didn't trust him, but you did have to eat.
>You slowly eat the food, and cautiously begin playing with the toys and reading the comic books. hmmm....Power Ponies..seems ok.
>As some time passes, your worries begin to subside as you have more fun in the small mountain the trickster spirit had left you.
>But as time continued to pass, you started to think about something. You tried to ignore it, but you realise something similar like this had happened before.
>While the circumstances were completely different, you realise Discord buying you off to appease Fluttershy was no different than you and Angel's first attempts to trick her into believing you and him were friends after that little apple incident.
>You started to feel guilty, due to the fact that given the circumstances. Fluttershy would believe you and Discord would win out in a lie.
>You even began to think about Discord himself, even if the plan was deceitful. He was doing it for good reasons. He wanted Fluttershy to be happy. Wether that was the truth was anyone's guess. But he could have probably reached his goals through truly terrible means if he was actually evil.
>Your playtime was becoming empty. You didn't want to lie to Fluttershy. And the part of you that wanted to finally trust Discord didn't want him to suffer the pain should she ever found out he lied.
>You crawl out of your little mountain and walk over to the sleeping draconequs. He was snoring loudly in his sleep.
>You didn't want to be subtle, and just yelled out his name. Causing him to explode again. You flinched, but you were ready for something to happen.
>Discord slipped down from the branches of the trees with a big yawn. Asking what you wanted.
>You told him you didn't want to do it. You didn't want to lie to Fluttershy.
>Discord immediatly looked at you with annoyance and sighed "Children these days...always wanting more". He snapped his fingers, tripling the amount of the toy hoarde.
>You ignore it, telling him you won't accept anything from him. "I...I want you and me to...." you gulped "A-actually try to be friends"
>Discord just started laughing uncontrollably, to him. That sounded absolutely absolutely absurd after what he just offered you.
>You do your best to stand your ground. You stare at him, but he just doesn't stop.
>"If you really cared about mom....you wouldn't lie to her about this. You....You'd have to live with that lie forever. That's....that's not right. A-and....how would mom react if she found out you lied to her....if I lied to her....She'd probably feel so betrayed that she'd probably never talk to either of us."
>Discord's laughing instantly ended the moment you said "betrayed".
>He seemed lost, even within himself. He was like a statue. You heard him whisper "betray" very silently.
>You began to worry, and shook him abit. Prepared for another explosion. You gently called his name.
>After a few minutes, he snapped back to reality and looked at you. But then he started walking past you, and began to speak in a "matter of factly" like tone.
>"Hmmmm, I suppose it would be quite the little disaster if that did occur. So I think I may already have the solution to our problem"
>You blinked, he seemed to recover from whatever shock just hit him. You stay silent.
>He cleared his throat "I said I think I may already have the solution to our problem"
>Was he really talking to you? You open your mouth to speak, but the moment you do. He grabs you and hugs you close as he points to the horizon.
>"That's right Anon, we will simply have to "hang out" until we become friends!.....or die trying"
>You cringed, you wondered if this....was just going to get worse.
