Discord and Fluttershy hanging out as they often do, even after Flutters became a mom. Discord loves to play with Bumble and Discord is Bumble’s favorite uncle! His other uncle can’t do magic after all, and how can you top a sentient carrot dancing in chocolate rain or turn the streets into soap so that you can ski in summer!

On this particular day Fluttershy had just had her second little baby son a week earlier and was adament they did something calm and not quite as rumbunctious as they usually did. Which basically translated to sit inside and play a board game or something.

However Fluttershy noticed that there was something off about Discord. He wasn’t really his hyperactive self as he used to be and appeared much more tired than usual. Fluttershy ignored it for the most part, not thinking to much about it, chaos spirit can get tired too after all.

It wasn’t untill they all ended up lying on the carpet in the living room that she noticed something truly strange. As Discord, clingy and noodly as always, decided to lay on top of Fluttershy’s back, she felt something. Something hard, small and round pressed against her side, several something she quickly realised. Upon looking to the lower part of Discords torso she finally saw how he seemed to be bloated, like he’d swallowed a bushell of apples whole.
She was surprised at how she hadn’t been able to spot this sooner, but with her attention mostly directed at her tiny newborn she just didn’t see it.

Could this have something to do with him being so tired? Was he sick?

Timidely the yellow pegasus open her mouth.

“Discord, are you… are you alright?”

Discord’s attention instantly snapped towards his friend. The carrot still dancing in the background, keeping the orange colt smiling.

“Ye - yes of course. Why wouldn’t I be?” He sounded nervous, like she had caught him with his paws in the cookie jar.

“Have you been sick recently, I didn’t want to ask earlier since it felt kind of rude, but you seem to be very tired” She tried to put her words out as kindly as possible not wanting to sound like she was just nosy.

“Well I don’t know what you are talking about, I feel fit as a fiddle!” He exclaimed as he teleported up on his feet wearing some sort of running suit. “Never been more energized in my life!”

It was all to clear that he was avoiding the subject. Discord had never really grasped how to be subtle after all.

“Discord I really think - “ Fluttershy was interupted.

“Oh well would you look at the time, I almost forgot about my appoitment with the royal gardener. Those rose bushes aren’t going to form themselves in my image!”

He poofed out of the running suit and into a frilly, flowery mess of gardener gear,

“See you all next week!”

And with that he was gone. Magically teleported away to Celestia knows where.

Bumble stared dumbfounded at his mother, he hadn’t even processed what happened. One second uncle was there next he was gone.

“Why did he leave mom? We were having so much fun”

“I don’t know honey, we will have to ask him later”

I just hope he’s alright. She thought to herself whishing Ponet would hurry home so that she could go after him.
