[Sweetie Belle's POV]
It took a few hours of helping Fluttershy with her animals before I finally calmed down.
Well, calmed down enough that I didn't completely have a breakdown at the mention of Rarity, at least.
Fluttershy seems almost at peace with my silence, as if she had forgotten I was there. I didn't mind it. It was actually a lot better for the both of us that she had.
It gave me a chance to try and come to terms with everything on my own.
Well, maybe not quite yet.
I had thought that I was far past that time with Rarity. At least, a lot further than I clearly was. I thought I could manage just talking about it. It's just words.
Why was it so hard for me?
Everypony else could say it so easily...
Am I just too weak?
I feel a tentative paw on the side of my face, snapping me to the present. Angel is sitting on a nearby stand, worry clear in his black eyes. He carefully raises his paw from my nose before tapping me again. I giggle softly before using my magic to pick him up to my eye level. I carefully move him to Fluttershy, muttering a thanks under my breath. He seemed a little against going back to Fluttershy, but after staring me in the eyes for a while, he allowed her to grab him peacefully.
"You know, Angel rarely shows that he cares," Fluttershy offers a poor try at conversation. I accept it anyway.
"I know. He's more into doing what he wants," said bunny looks at me in anger before I continue. "That's what makes him being nice all the more special."
He eases up on me for that, but his gaze said that payback would be in the near future. I wink at him, silently hoping he will.
I'll take any distraction from my thoughts you can give me.
Before he could do anything, however, the entire group appears in the middle of the garden, scaring poor Fluttershy half to death.
I don't even bother reacting. After dealing with Discord for so long, you do get used to the teleporting everywhere thing he does.
"SWEETIE BELLE!" a tearful Rarity charges up to me.
"HOW COULD YOU, SWEETIE? HOW COULD YOU?" Rarity held the blade up, a crazed gleam in her eye.
"I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY!" I curl up with my hooves outstretched, blocking my face as well as I could.
That stopped her cold.
I can feel her stare on me. Everyone's stare. I feel like the air was closing in around me, blocking my lungs.
"Breathe, Sweetie. I'm here," Discord's voice whispers in my ear. Instead of feeling terrified like I knew I was supposed to, I felt a sense of calm instead.
It could be the mix of Discord and the sight of Fluttershy's cottage calming me, though.
I slowly manage to calm myself before throwing my hooves around the draconequus. He huffs in annoyance, but I felt him slightly squeeze me in a hug before he forced my hooves away.
"Don't get all sappy on me with Friendship is Magic and that stuff. I'm reformed, but I'm still chaotic," he mutters low enough for only me to hear, but I got his message.
Don't get too close or the Six might do something to him.
"Discord still didn't tell us what happened to Rarity after my spell."
