Description

“Oh Discord!” Fluttershy squealed excitedly, fluttering her wings. “I’m so excited to see Zephyr’s girlfriend!” “I’m not.” Discord scoffed. “If she’s anything like him, I think I’ll pass.” He snorted, rearranging some novelties on a shelf. “You don’t understand how great this is Discord! Zephyr’s finally found a mare! She might be the one!” “I give it a week.” Discord said flatly, not looking away from the shelf. Fluttershy scowled at him. “Ok, ok.” Discord rolled his eyes. “Two weeks.” He mumbled quietly.
 
Fluttershy pulled a tray of freshly baked cookies from the oven. She took a deep breath and sighed. “Cookies are ready! Now to make the sandwiches…” Knock knock! Fluttershy turned to the direction of the door. A wave of excitement and stress washed over her. “Discord!” She squealed. She threw her self onto Discord’s thin fuzzy chest. “Theyre here! And I still haven’t had a chance to make the sandwiches, and the tea’s still on the stove..” “Worry not my dear. I’ll fix everything up in two shakes of a lambs tail.” Discord turned around to reveal two lamb tails where his own tail used to be. He shook them, and they made a sound similar to jingle bell’s. Fluttershy giggled, only to be reminded of her stress when another knock on the door sounded behind her. “Oh Discord!” She gasped. “Hurry!” She pushed Discord into the kitchen and brushed her chest with her hooves. She took a deep breath and opened the door. “Zephyr!” She threw her arms around her brother and hugged him tightly. “Flutters! So good to see you sis!” Zephyr smiled. “Where’s your marefriend?” Fluttershy asked excitedly, looking over Zephyr’s shoulders and head. “She’ll be in a minute.” He chuckled. “Now come on, lets go inside and get out grub on! I’m starvin’!” Zephyr walked inside, followed hesitantly by Fluttershy who shut the door behind them. “Here we have, a tray of cucumber sandwiches for ze lady and~~” Discord stared at Zephyr in surprise. He had a black curly mustache, fake French accent, and held a tray of cucumber sandwiches in his eagle talon. It was obvious he wasn’t expecting Zephyr. “What, Zephyr?!” He asked in disbelief, his accent disappearing as quickly as it had appeared. “Where’s your marefriend?” “She’s~~” “Oh wait,” Discord interrupted. “Don’t tell me. You made her up.” “Discord!” Fluttershy exclaimed in shock. “What?” Suddenly, another knock sounded at the door.
 
“That must be her!” Fluttershy squealed! “Ok, once she comes in, you and Discord go into the kitchen and you can talk there. I want to get to know your special somepony!” “Ok, ok. But I want to introduce her to you. Trust me, you’re gonna love her.” Zephyr laughed. “Of course I will!” Fluttershy flew over to a chair and sat down. “Now, introducing…” Zephyr placed his hoof on the door knob. “The lovely lady..” Fluttershy held her breath. “In~~” A loud banging sound erupted from the door. “Oops.” Zephyr chuckled nervously. “Looks like she’s getting impatient. Better hurry up my intro!” Fluttershy giggled nervously. Suddenly, doubt flooded into her mind. She got rid of it by telling herself that she would probably bang on the door if she had to wait that long too. Zephyr cleared his throat. “As I was saying. Now introducing, the lovely Inky Rose!” Zephyr slowly opened the door. A bright light shown through the doorway, and for a moment all Fluttershy could see was the silhouette of a pegasus against a white light. Once Zephyr closed the door and the light stopped flooding into the room, Fluttershy saw her.
 
She was tall, maybe an inch shorter than Zephyr, and thin. Her hair was tied in braids and she was a dull shade of purple. Fluttershy blinked in surprise. This was not the pony she had expected. This pony looked.. sad. “This place is bright and beautiful.” Inky stated. Fluttershy mentally slapped herself for being so judgmental. She should give Inky a chance before making assumptions. “Yes!” Fluttershy greeted. “Welcome to our ho~~” “I hate it.” Inky finished. “Where do I sit?” “U-Uh right there is fine.” Fluttershy nodded towards the couch. She was shocked that anypony would have the nerve to straight up insult a pony’s house like that. Now Fluttershy, she thought to herself, remember what I said about being judgmental. This house is probably just out of her comfort zone, I should give her a chance! Fluttershy took a deep breath. “I’ll just leave this.. with you.” Discord said blankly. He put the tea pot and two tea cups on the table, his eyes glued to Inky. Fluttershy could tell he was just as surprised as she was. Discord walked backwards into the kitchen, nearly tripping over a rabbit bed. “I’ll leave you too to get aquatinted.” Zephyr winked and trotted onto the kitchen after Discord, leaving Fluttershy alone with Inky.
 
“So um.. how did you and Zephyr meet?” Fluttershy asked awkwardly. “In town.” She replied dully. “Oh. So uh, what do you do for a living?”  
“I design clothes in Manehatten.”  
“Manehatten? Zephyr lives there!”  
“Yes.”  
“One of my good friends owns a boutique there too.”  
“Well isn’t that nice.” Inky said flatly. Fluttershy frowned. This pony didn’t seem like she wanted to be friends. “Do you.. have any hobbies?” Fluttershy asked hopefully. Inky turned her head slowly. “No.” “No hobbies?” Fluttershy repeated in disbelief. “Well…” Inky started. “Yes?” Fluttershy leaned in closer. “No.” Fluttershy slumped back in her chair. This conversation was hopeless! Fluttershy seemed to be the only one asking the questions, and Inky would only end the conversation once Fluttershy had got it started! Well, Fluttershy thought, there’s no way Zephyr will stay with this one. Discord’s right, they’ll break up soon. Fluttershy couldn’t bear the thought of this pony being in her family, let alone her sister in law. “Oh.” Fluttershy cleared her throat. “Well um, how long have you and Zephyr been dating?” “Two years.” “TWO YE-” Fluttershy slapped a hoof over her mouth. She didn’t want to sound so surprised, that would be rude. She shakily took a sip of her tea to prevent her from saying anything. “Yes.” Inky nodded. “In fact, I’m his fiancé now. Zephyr proposed to me not three weeks ago.” Fluttershy nearly choked on her tea. She smiled nervously at Inky. “F-Fiancé?” “Yes.” Inky said monotonously. Fluttershy’s eyes twitched. Discord walked through the kitchen doors, into the room where the two mares sat conversing, probably to use the bathroom or get away from Zephyr. For one moment, his eye caught Fluttershy’s. She sat in her chair, shaking with a forced smile upon her face. “Uh oh.” Discord breathed.
