When the Bearers race forth from Ponyville on an official mission, somepony has to take over on their day jobs. For Fluttershy, that's usually Snowflake.

But he's not available right now, so today, it's going to be a Sherman tank.

Don't worry. I'm sure nopony will ever notice the difference.

And here's a reading!

In a parallel universe, there exists an Equestria where the Princess of the Sun is not a pony, but one of the most advanced war machines ever created.

Check out an audio reading of this story by No One and Nobody here!

Twilight Sparkle is replaced by a firetruck.

I'm never writing another story.

Seriously, this is it.

A quiet evening with Fluttershy turns into a nightmare when Discord finds Eris, his mother, at the front door; asking how his plans of causing chaos and disorder across the land are going.
Needless to say, Discord tries everything in his power to make sure she doesn't know he's reformed.

Usually when a file says that one of the elements have died, the devil usually thinks its just another pony (or other creature) that is trying to get to heaven. So he burns the file and sends the so called element bearer to his place.
This time its different. Very different.

Weeks of planning has prepared Macintosh for the month mares decide to harass him and every other stallion in Equestria.
But after getting kicked out of the house, he finds out that this time it's different...
Very different.

Applejack and Pinkie Pie don't mind looking up to see Fluttershy flying in the sky,
or knowing that Rainbow Dash can rest on soft, fluffy, comfortable pillows while they can't,
or seeing bright, flashing lights that blind and burn their eyes when Twilight perform spells,
or knowing that Rarity can carry things and teleport without lifting a hoof while THEY need to lift THEIR hooves to do that.
Nope, they don't mind knowing that they can't do those things. Not one bit.

But when Discord get's rid of their friend's wings and horns before they head into a maze, and he doesn't take ANYTHING away from them, and their friends freak out, knowing they can't do those things now.
The two earth ponies start realizing some things.
Some very, VERY, VERY interesting things.

This story is a sequel to The Changelings Start a Kickstarter For Their Show

Nope, not a strip club.
Just a place where ponies make love donations while changelings dance for them on poles.
...
Twilight is very skeptical about this.

Nothing suspicious going on here.
Just a group of bugs coming together to create a show for everyone to watch.
...
Twilight doesn't believe it for a second.
