So the Mayans were a year or two off....[open & Fluttershy]

[Darwin Daugherty]

Darwin had been setting this up for a week straight now. He got an unsigned letter to Fluttershy through the postal system for the city and found an open meeting place; the center of town just a couple blocks from the mall. The week gave him time to deal with his roommate, center himself, and prepare what he was going to say. The first snow fall of the season seemed to be coating the ground now and this body could not handle the cold like his old body could. He was wearing a patch work long thick jacket, patchwork pants, Two different boots, and a Ear muff hat a la Fargo, complete with a Minimalistic Princess Twilight symbol on the front. The one piece that set apart from the rest of his outfit was a yellow and pink scarf that he knitted himself.



The area was just alittle filled with passerbys. The Fire hydrant served as a decent seat for the time being. It was a good thirty minutes before they were to meet. This just gave him a little bit of time to prepare further and think of just the right thing to say. While there were dozens of people nearby, he was the only one not moving around. Hopefully that would tell her that he was the one waiting for her.

Fluttershy walked slowly down the snow-covered sidewalk, the unfolded letter clutched tightly in her gloved hand. She didn’t know what it meant or whom it was from, but it instructed her to meet someone at the center of the town. Naturally the thought of meeting anyone she didn’t know made her extremely uncomfortable and nervous. She had battled back and forth about whether to come for a long time, and the only reason she was coming at all would perhaps be that her kindness got the best of her in the end. She was afraid of meeting this person, yes; but also afraid of leaving them to wait for her, and thereby possibly hurting their feelings immensely. That wouldn't make her a very nice person at all!

The pink-haired girl pulled her pink scarf closer to her neck as a sudden wind blew by. She was all bundled up in a pea coat, leggings, boots and a pair of fuzzy woolen earmuffs, but it was still hard to stay completely shielded from the bitter cold snow outside. Even while realizing this, her thoughts only drifted back to the animals that might be outside. Oh, she just hoped that they had all made their nests cozy and warm enough to live in.


Her attention snapped back to the task ahead as she drew near the end of the path that would lead to the Town’s Center. Her pace instantly slowed to a trudging, reluctant step and her eyes were wide and uncertain as she peered around. One would think that she was on the lookout for a nearby danger rather than prepare for a meeting, but she felt that she had to. 

After glimpsing at the people around, she finally saw what appeared to be a very tall boy sitting on a fire hydrant. Was that the person she was supposed to meet here? She held her breath as she forced herself to take a few more steps forward despite inwardly not wanting him to notice her. She stopped at what she deemed to be a safe distance away in the clearing, leaving plenty of room in between them in case she was mistaken or suddenly changed her mind about staying. She contemplated about saying something to him, but in the end she shyly looked away and silently folded up the letter in her palm.

The cold was biting to him. But then he saw a girl with pink hair pass by. She was laughing to much to the boy she was holding the arm of. Plus her hair came up to two points on the side. Definitly not Fluttershy, unless this world is more chaotic than he gave it credit for. As he shrank a little another girl passed, but her hair grabbed snow from the ground. definitly not poniriffic. Then came along a girl with a beautiful head of pink hair, cute outfit, and a letter folded in her hands. That was Flutters alright. Seeing her approach then shyly looked away gave even more evidence. Standing up from the water dispensery, he walked over to her nonchallantly.

As he got closer symbols could be seen. First was the aforementioned Twilight logo on his hat. His scarf had three butterflies stitched in near the overlap. His jacket had a lapel pin of three purple diamonds. Down the length of his pants were party balloons. And while his boots were mismatched, each one had a rainbow colored lighting bolt on the side. He just offered her a grin and bowed ostentatiously. "Greetings Fluttershy my dear. My you do look just as cute as last time we met. I hope Angel bunny is enjoying his visit to this dimension as well." the voice would have that arrogant British Accent that could only belong to one being.

Fluttershy backed up a couple of nervous steps as the tall stranger with odd garments came forward. She cautiously looked at him up and down. Nothing about him looked familiar. Well, except for the symbols stitched onto his clothes that were unmistakably the cutie marks of her and her friends. That part was a little unnerving to say the least. From what she knew, her friends and her were not celebrities or anything huge back in Ponyville. They were the Elements of Harmony, but she had never encountered any pony trotting around with their cutie marks all over their clothing as if he were a fan of theirs. She would’ve remembered too, because the attention would’ve embarrassed her greatly. Who was he, and was she supposed to know him from somewhere? She shifted her gaze nervously and clenched the letter in her palm, contemplating whether she should say something.

The shy-hearted girl didn’t have to, though, before the stranger spoke instead. He hadn’t even finished his first phrase before the flicker of recognition set in, and Fluttershy’s eyes rounded in fear. There was no mistaking that voice, the odd accent and tone that had only ever belonged to one Draconequus…

“D- D- DISCORD!” Fluttershy uttered what started out as a choked squeak, then became a loud cry of terror. Discord was here, up to his scary no-good again, and this time she was all alone! No Elements of Harmony, no friends that she could see nearby at the moment, and no place to hide!
Hide! She had to hide… and run!

In a heartbeat she was tearing off towards the first thing in sight, which just so happened to be small tree in the landscaping nearby, covered in snow. Not that good of a hiding place, but it was the best thing she could find in the open center. She flung herself behind it and sat down with her knees pulled up against her. Oh, she wished he would just go away! She should never have come here without her friends!

Darwin was generally shocked when Fluttershy's look became one of terror when she said his name. Then she shrieked so loudly. Everyone walking around them stopped and stared at the two. A moment later she was curled up behind a thin tree. Not worrying about the glances of the others, he walked over and poked his head around the tree. "Fluttershy are you alright? It's me Discord...though you already know that since you said it in terror. We are freinds. You are my only friend both here and in Ponyville. There is no need to be frieghtened. You know I wouldn't harm you." He moved one hand to rest on her shoulder to try and emphasize this point.

Belle was taking a nice walk through the town trying to clear her mind of thoughts about Gaston. Why that man was able to bug her while he was not around was shocking to her. She had been so happy to escape her small town when she moved into the castle and being away from Gaston forever. She tried to shake the thought of him from her brain with no such luck till she noticed the girl with pink hair run behind a tree and a young man following her. It infuriated her so much to see someone else in this town act so Gaston like. She had to do something to get him away from the girl. The young girl looked scared and not amused to see this young man.

Belle took a moment to ponder on how to get him to leave her alone. She wasn’t too cold seeing as she had on a light pink top, burgundy colored coat that was paired with dark blue jeans and ballet slippers. She couldn’t think of a way to do it until she remembered the young girl’s name. She had a plan to go over and act like a friend to Fluttershy hoping that she’d play along and leave with Belle. Belle knew what it was like to have someone not leave you alone no matter how much you tried to push that person away. She walked over to Flutter and the young man with her who had his hand on her shoulder Hey, Fluttershy. I haven’t seen you in a while. How have you been? If you are not too busy, would you like to get coffee with me? she said boldly so that he’d have no clue that she barely knew Fluttershy.

Fluttershy was hardly listening to Discord in her panic. As soon as he poked his head around the tree she had jumped and scrambled to scoot away. Feeling him put his hand on her shoulder didn’t help calm her down any more. It wouldn’t have matter much if she had paused to hear what he was saying; right now her anxious mind was just screaming that this was a trap, that she was in trouble, and that she shouldn’t listen to him. 

She frantically crawled away from the tree, flinging up snow as she pushed herself back up to her feet. Her heart nearly stopped as another voice spoke loudly, but soon she recognized it as a voice she knew. It was Belle, who had visited her pet shop. She didn’t know Belle very well, but she knew that she seemed nice and was nice to animals, and right now she had no one else to distract or otherwise save her from Discord. Coffee? Yes, she would go anywhere, just as long as he wasn’t following her. “Oh yes, yes, I would love to!” Fluttershy practically threw herself over towards Belle in order to get away from Discord. 

[Darwin Daugherty]

He was just stunned. Left speechless at this. Suddenly a new friend of Fluttershy's happened by and invited her to have some coffee. There was the entire crawling away in pure terror, and yes Darwin new what terror looked like first hand. The flinging of snow didn't help the scene either. Then there was the way Flutters basically ran to the girl and used her as a shield. The look on his face slowly started to diminsh from shock to disappointment. "So that's all there is to this Magic of Friendship. How stupid was I to think it would last? It seems something given like that could be taken away without so much of a fore thought." Turning back to where he was sitting and waiting for her in the cold, he just kicked the hydrant angrily.

As his foot came down, there was a low rumble from it as some of the ice and frost shook loose. "Don't you worry about it anymore, my dear. You won't see this creature again." His hand came up and removed the hat from his head throwing it on the ground. Next came the jacket, followed by the two boots. Now standing in the fallen snow in just a pair of socks, pants, and a t-shirt with apples on it, he looked back to her and removed the scarf, discarding it onto the same pile. He then stepped on them and continued on into the street. Not caring about the crosswalk. Just heading down the center of the street. A couple cars swerved to miss him on these icy roads.
