The Most Chaotic Night Ever!-An MLP Fanfiction

Chapter 8-Party Planning

"Discord, this is so amazing. I never knew your magic could do things like this," a smiling Fluttershy remarked as she walked through her garden and gazed at the sight of the flowers swaying in a dance and the vegetable plants juggling their different pieces of produce and the grass flickering all different colors in the breeze and her bird bath shooting up streams of water in various animal shapes. Farther along near her animal pens, the chickens were out doing a cancan line together and pecking the ground between kicks, her songbirds were warbling a chaotic yet beautiful song, and her flying squirrels and other assorted little mammals were all playing on a little levitating Ferris Wheel Discord had set up for them that spun in all different directions and even rose up and down at times but never dropped a single rider.

Discord, meanwhile, was lazing about on his stomach atop a fluffy pink cotton candy cloud just above all of the chaos, munching a bit of the cloud's fluff and grinning, a sort of hazed if proud look in his eyes. "I'm very glad you like it, Fluttershy. Do you think fun little things like this will be good for the Gala and for showing other ponies that chaos can be just as helpful and enjoyable to others as it is to me?"

Fluttershy nodded, catching in her mouth and eating a cherry tomato which a juggling plant had just tossed to her. "I think things like this will be a wonderful surprise for everyone from you, Discord, at the Gala or anytime. I've never seen you make such fun and friendly chaos. I know everyone will love it."

Discord chuckled to himself. "Good. I just want to impress Celestia." He swallowed and casually (if quickly) went on, "I mean, you know…Celestia and everypony else." He glanced down a little, his smile growing a touch sheepish.

"Are you going to be doing this much magic all night long?" Fluttershy asked, flying up to observe closer her little animals enjoying the floating Ferris Wheel. "It would be very nice and entertaining, but it also might get a little tiring for you. Plus you'd want to make sure to have enough time to focus on Princess Celestia." Fluttershy turned back to Discord and smiled a little more.

Discord smiled back at her but shook his head. "Oh, don't worry, I probably won't even use magic during the Gala unless I'm pressed or the right situation presents itself. Not that I wouldn't enjoy making myself even more of a star attraction at this thing than I'm already going to be, but I'm really starting to look forward to just having a relaxing, enjoyable evening with my friends. I'm just doing so much magic now because I…guess I'm just feeling in a magical mood this morning, is all." He chuckled to himself again, a far away look in his eye.

Fluttershy turned and flew over to him, smiling in interest. "Well, that's good to hear. Have you been sleeping better, Discord?"

"Well…" Discord glanced to the side, rubbing the back of his neck and smiling sheepishly again, "Let's just say that I've been getting more comfortable with my sleeping habits."

"And your dreams are better?" Fluttershy asked kindly, sitting down on the lawn and looking up at him, her tone still full of its usual sincerity and caring.

Discord swallowed, blushing just a little. "In a manner of speaking." He let out a breath and a special grin couldn't help coming to his features. "It's more than just dreams or sleeping though. I…well…" He glanced down at her, then rested his head on his paw. "If I tell you something, will you keep it just between us, dear Fluttershy?"

Fluttershy nodded. "Of course, Discord. You have my word as your friend."

Discord smiled more and then turned on his pink cloud to gaze up (conveniently, at the sun). "I've stumbled upon the most deliciously chaotic thought since yesterday. It's so surreal, so insane, so utterly outrageous that it's just…tickling me. Hmm…" He chuckled, his cloud suddenly sprouting little feathers to tickle his sides. He snapped, making them disappear. "I feel like I could make the most absurd and delightful magic all day long and never get tired or bored." He tilted his head back to look at Fluttershy upside down with a big smile. "Is there anything you want, Fluttershy, anything you need? However insane or simple it is, just say the word and I promise to snap it up and with flair. I feel like I'm bursting with magic." He snapped his fingers, making his head burst open like a party balloon for a moment with streamers and confetti and a squee sound. Then with a flash of magic, his head magically reappeared and he was grinning down at her all the more..
