I'm super glad you found the time/inspiration to write more! Admittedly, I would think that Discord would take issue with Flutters playing off the announcement as a simple surprise... Not some secret that was the reason Flutters and Mac were courting in the first place...

As for AJ... I think it's more likely she'd demand an explanation in such a way that would not be conducive to Mac being forthright... But overall, it seems alright.

Looking forward to seeing more from you!

This was an adorable chapter and I'm glad to see progress being made on this fic. The proposal scene was superb and I love the little brother/sister interaction going on that adds a tense dimension between the Apple siblings. I hope to hear how Shy comforts Mac after that little spat where he essentially had to renounce his father.

Discord is a vindictive bitch. He's mad, and he'd much rather watch them squirm as the web of lies slowly falls apart.

As for AJ... I think it's more likely she'd demand an explanation in such a way that would not be conducive to Mac being forthright...

Are you kidding? AJ and Granny are the only ponies alive who know how to get under his skin, they've known him forever. It'll be explained in the next chapter.

7076694 Thanks, glad you liked it! I'm really looking forward to this next chapter, I just hope I'll be able to find the time to write it :x Time has been a scarce commodity lately. Lots going on. I might blog about it soon, idk.

Ah! I was wondering when this story would be continued!

And, I got to say, everypony's taking all this news thrown at them very well! Did everypony just have a xanax cocktail before showing up to the castle?

The conflict, is very believable. And I'm glad Mac didn't explain the circumstances to save his own skin. Hearing that he was technically raped by Fluttershy's alter-ego might cause a little distress.

And at least Discord is being subtle in his Douche-Bagness but, let's be fair, it's Discord! This is mild for him and I am enjoying him being there a little more than before. But dude needs to get laid, badly.

Keep on keepin' on!

7077285 Xanax cocktail? xD You kill me.
Yeah, Discord is being kinda subtle now, but if you think about it, in the show he's been shown to be subtler when he's scheming, just little nudges here and there. I don't think this is any bit out of character for him ;3

7077882 Oh I very much agree! I'm not complaining, I prefer this version of Discord! It's more interesting then the 'Jealous Third Wheel'.

7076773 Man, do I know that feeling

Both valid points.
