"Um... I'm Fluttershy..." She mumbled.

"I'm sorry, what was that?"

"Uh... my name is Fluttershy." she repeated inaudibly.

"I didn't quite get that. One more time?" Twilight asked and only got a high pitched squeaking sound from her. She could vaguely make out the word Fluttershy but if she didn't already know it, she wouldn't have understood it at all. In order to stop this from going on any further Twilight simply said "Well it's nice to meet you Fluttershy."

But before she could say anymore a loud bellow came as the teacher walked in. "Good afternoon class. We'll begin today's lesson with an excerpt from chapter four of your textbook. Open to page 63 and we'll go through a little open book test I've pieced together." he practically shouted. Though she had to admit he had an incredibly smooth voice.

What was odd though, was that unlike all her other teachers, he hadn't I introduced himself to the class. Instead just jumping right into work. "Actually Twilight dear, I did introduce myself." he said suddenly appearing behind her even though she could've sworn he had just been at the front of the class. "You were just tardy during your first lesson yesterday."

"How did you..." Twilight started and had been planning to ask how he seemed to teleport across the room but instead asked "know I was wondering that?"

He smirked and stood up from poking his head right over her shoulder as she turned to face him. Showing off his mismatched clothes while he stroked his goatee. "The name is Discord by the by." he said as if that some how would explain it to her. He then turned to his favourite student and requested politely "Fluttershy, would you be a dear and hand these out to the front of the class?"

Twilight was about to speak up, thinking that getting her to do something so public wouldn't end well. From what she'd seen so far Fluttershy was similar herself, only far more withdrawn. "Of course Discord." she said cheerfully as she grabbed the papers and stood up before practically skipping away merrily to hand out the pages.

Twilight could only stare slack jawed. 'Thats it. It's official. Everyone in this school is kar-razy!' she thought to herself.

"Oh quit being so melodramatic Twilight. Besides,we're all mad here.” Discord said as he placed her paper on her desk before continuing down the rows putting a piece on everyone’s desk. Soon enough all the other students had theirs tests and the class began as soon as Fluttershy retook her seat. "Now students, today we'll be learning about the genetics of hybrid creatures such as mules, ligers and gryphons... I mean just mules and ligers."

As the class went on it became clear that Discord seemed to know practically nothing about the subject and had to refer to the textbook more than most of the students did. However Fluttershy was always more than willing to help him with whatever he was having trouble with. She actually seemed to know almost everything about the animals we were learning about without having to even refer to the book once.

Slowly enough, the class finished the test and Discord began to clear of the black board which was more covered in his drawings than actual information. Simply put: he was a bad teacher. If it hadn't been for Fluttershy sitting next to her, Twilight wouldn't have learnt a damn thing today. The class was drawing to a close but before he dismissed everyone he began "Though I said this before, we appear to have a few new students in today. Well, one new student to be precise. Extra credit will be awarded to anyone who helps out at the local animal shelter."

And to anyone other than Twilight sitting right next to her, they wouldn't have heard as Fluttershy quietly whispered "Thank you.".

Over the course of the lesson, Fluttershy had started to open up to Twilight. Though not too much, enough that she could at least speak with this new Twilight. "So... is Discord like your uncle or something?" Twilight asked. It would explain why she was so calm around him and he liked her so much.

"Goodness no. He's just... a friend is all. He runs the school horticulture and livestock programs. I'm in almost all of his classes and we're always together in the shed out back of the school. Taking care of... the animals." nothing about that sounded suss at all... and the blush on Fluttershy a face didn't help Twilight’s mind away from that idea either.

"That's quite enough Fluttershy. You’re embarrassing me. Yes, I know I'm a great teacher but you don't have to brag about me." he said stepping in. There was defiantly something off about this relationship. But it's not what your thinking... trust me on that one. You'll find out in a eventually. "So Twilight. Now that you've met all your teachers blah blah blah... Celestia would like to see you after class in her office."

"Oh. Ok. I guess it's good I didn't have anything planned... would've been nice to have know about this BEFORE a few minutes until I had to meet her." Twilight groaned. 

"Well perhaps if somepony had gotten to their Form class on time and heard their messages." he returned with the same sarcastic tone she had. "Now, you’re expected there as soon as the bell rings, which should be right about... oh say... now." and as he finished, the bell rang. How did all of her teachers seem to have exact timing on that? "It's this new-fangled device called a watch..." Discord scoffed before calling out to everyone else "Class is dismissed. I'll see you all tomorrow morning."

And with that, the class began to leave. As Twilight finished to packing up she made one last ditch attempt to talk with Fluttershy. "So... I take it you like animals. What with you being in the livestock classes and farms and all that." also it helped that Discord was still right behind them, which Twilight had learnt was the best spot for him to be if you wanted to talk. He'd most likely hear someone far off and zip over to annoy them instead.

"Oh yes. I absolutely adore animals. These classes are my gateway to becoming a veterinarian and being able to help all kinds of creatures." she said merrily. It was clear she had topics that she liked and if you spoke of those she could go on and on without freezing up like she had a few times when they'd spoke. "Discord helped me out so much, making time to tutor me and paying so much attention to my needs."

"Uh... right." seriously, so much implying going on there. "I can see why you love animals so much. I have a dog and he's absolutely adorable. His name is..."

"Spike!" Fluttershy interrupted with so much enthusiasm that you could've confused her voice with Pinkie Pie. "I know... I mean, it is still Spike, or is he?... sorry. It’s just that, the old Twilight had a dog too. He could talk! It was amazing, I could finally know just how they felt and thought and could tell me exactly what was on there mind!"

A talking dog? Magic? Alternate dimensional self? Time-immune-something teachers and seemingly teleporting people... there just aren't really words for what all of this is. (Totally not filler for not knowing what to write) "Well, my dog can't talk. But yes, his name is Spike. I've had him for as long as I can remember and he has to be nearly as old as me."

"That's very nice. I have a lot of pets but my oldest is a little rabbit named Angel. He's turning 14 this year. That's really old for a rabbit but he still has a few years left in him yet." Fluttershy said with a smile, thinking about all her wonderful critters. She could name all 117 of them alphabetically and/or by order she got them. "I practically already run a veterinary practice with all her neighbours."

“Well, if Spike’s ever sick, would you mind if I bring him to you for care?”

“Oh, god forbid he get ill. But if it were to ever come to that, I’d be more than happy to nurse the little guy back to health.” Fluttershy smiled, remembering the cute little Spikey-Wikey as Rarity had called him.

As the two of them walked out the door, Discord called out to "Goodbye Fluttershy. And Twilight, say hello to my sister for me would you?"

"She's your sister?"

"Well of course. How else do you think such a woefully under qualified animal... let's call it 'enthusiast', such as myself could get a job teaching at a school such as this one, hmm?" Twilight didn't answer. Fluttershy’s love of animals, and in combined with the phrase 'animal enthusiast'... she really had to wonder what the hell they did in that animal shed. What ever it was Twilight planned on staying out of Fluttershy's shed.

Now uh… where exactly was Celestia’s office again?
