With Twilight out of town, Spike is feeling lonely. Feeling sorry for him, the Cutie Mark Crusaders invite him to their clubhouse for a sleepover. But soon, things start to go bump in the night...

A brief moment between friends.

The story of how Fluttershy dozed off during a tea party with Discord. Includes Discord's signature madness.

How much can he do in just one minute?

Lately, Discord had taken up gardening.

It was, admittedly, an unexpected hobby for the spirit of chaos and disharmony to pick up. But he'd easily justified it to himself--and everypony else who dared question--with the answer that chaos is being unexpected, and that true chaos is doing things that no one would have guessed, and so he was living perfectly up to his own nature.

He had created six unique varieties of flowers; they were completely unique to his little garden. Nowhere else in Equestria did one grow.

Fluttershy finds herself haunted by a measly word when she gets lost in the middle of her favorite woods. That word was 'draconequus' and after she finds a hurt one, she tries her hardest to help him. A friendship Fluttershy cherishes almost more than her other friendships blossoms, and she doesn't know how anything could go wrong.
Except maybe her Princess friend from a pony world saying there's a magical imbalance on the same day Discord decides he's too bored without Fluttershy around and turns himself into a human so he can attend her school.

Discord has a meeting with the Tree of Harmony concerning Equestria's newest threat, Lord Tirek. Together, they come up with a plan. A deliberate betrayal.

Equestria's history is like a swan on a lake, seemingly graceful motion hiding the furious effort beneath the surface. Whose effort? Twilight is about to find out.

The village had been perfect, free from the inequality and misery rampant throughout the rest of Equestria. Then Twilight Sparkle and her so-called friends arrived and ruined everything.

But all hope is not lost. Starlight Glimmer has a plan to restore her lost utopia on a much vaster scale.

After all, it's not like that purple princess was friends with anything worse.

Twilight Sparkle, pulling another late night, is finally confronted about by Spike and Starlight Glimmer. She reveals that she's been studying one of the realities she saw, specifically the one seemingly ruled by Flim and Flam. She just can't figure out how those two con artists could be as much of a threat as, say, Tirek or Nightmare Moon.

And then Discord shows up, telling her that she's looking at her information wrong. He volunteers to show Twilight, Spike, and Starlight what that reality is really like...

#1 in the Featured box on 4/25/2016. WOW. I'm... honestly surprised that so many people like this little dialogue heavy stream of consciousness fic. Thank you all very much!

Trapped in Equestria is one problem, losing your humanity is another.

Being captured by a demented shape-shifting Queen!?

Well that's the cherry atop a Bad Day Sundae...

Taking Place Before Mean Six.
