Of course the fun time they were having had to be interrupted by his arrival. Granted, this was pretty much the first time Sunset was ever this close to the draconequus, and she felt her chest tighten with anxiety. What if he chose this moment to strike, to take her out without any of her friends around? Well, there was Lyra, but she was currently hoofed up and didn’t have any ability to fight him anyway. Sunset grabbed the harmonizer on her wrist, waiting patiently to see what it was he was up to before going after him.
Apparently ,she wasn’t his target; Lyra was. Specifically, it sounded like he was trying to coax her over to his side. Sunset was stuck between wanting to just strike him right then and there, or to hold back in case he took an attack as an excuse to do something to her new friend. She watched anxiously as he apparently gifted her a horn and…tail? He had been listening this whole time hadn’t he? Probably thought he could buy her off with something she had stated she could rock?
Sunset’s stomach dropped like a rock and eyes began to water the moment she heard Lyra utter “I like fun…” Her hand loosened from the harmonizer too, an act that apparently caught Discord’s eye as he gave her a grin. Just moments ago Lyra was claiming friendship, and here she was sounding like she was seriously considering the offer. Before her sadness could begin to turn to fury at the betrayal, however, Lyra’s horn glowed again, a branch snapping before crashing towards Discord.
Of no surprise, however, Discord simply split himself in half and let the branch fall harmlessly through him before reconnecting himself. The glaring on his face made it clear that he wasn’t amused, but as Lyra began to talk, that dropped stomach began to change into a swelling of pride and..joy? That was about the best way she could describe it as Lyra reaffirmed their friendship and, more importantly, basically tell Discord to go buck himself.
As she listened to Lyra, Sunset felt her hand warm up. Glancing down at her wrist, she noticed that her harmonizer was starting to glow for some reason. Before she could try and see what was going on, however, Discord decided to get talking by mock gagging.
”Bleh, seems like the little ‘harmony’ group already got to you. Very well, have it your way, but I’ll at least let you have a lovely parting gift,” he said, snapping his fingers as he removed the horn, replaced the hands with hooves, but decided to let her keep the tail.
At about that moment another tree was heard snapping before a very loud, booming Coooowas heard as a giant pigeon waddled into the field.
”Oooops,seems I missed a flower. Well he looks like a fun enough little guy,”Discord added as the bird breathed fire, slightly burning Discord’s eyebrows,”Really needs to work on that breath though.Oh well, I’m sure you two will take good care of him. Toodle-loo,” he said with a wave before circling around and disappearing with a pop.
Sunset, of course, just kind of looked at the giant firebreathing pigeon before looking at the still heavily mutated Lyra.
”Bet you’re wishing you took his offer, huh?” she said, kind of grinning at the ridiculousness of the situation.
”But thank you for sticking with me and giving me a chance. I know I got the girls and all, but I’ll admit I’ve still doubted if they really want to be my friends or are just following Twilight’s orders for who knows what reason. So, in a way,you, and I guess I should include Bon Bon, are the first friends I’ve really made on my own,”
The glowing on Sunset Shimmer’s harmonizer glowed even more, causing her to take her hand off it as a glow of energy shot towards Lyra.
Today was getting weirder and weirder…
