    Chapter Forty-One: Sneak Peek!

    Enjoy!


    “So. We’re gonna get married. You girls are becoming ‘wives’ and Lero’s becoming a ‘husband.’ What about me? What do I get to become, once we’re all married?”

    “Our little scaly son.” Lyra answered.

    Spike half-grinned. “So basically, things pretty much stay the same for me, personally.”

Sneak Peek: Almost Done With Chapter 39 · 11:16pm Mar 27th, 2016

Dear Divided Rainbow Fans,

You've all been very patient. I'm very nearly done with the next chapter; it'll only be a week or so at most! In the meantime, I'd like to treat you all to another sneak peek of what's to come!


“...And that’s the reason why I had to take everything out of Rarity’s cloud house, and have it moved into an all-new laboratory,” Twilight told Fluttershy, two days later. The two friends were walking alongside each other, going from Sugarcube Corner towards Golden Oaks Library.

“Really?” asked Fluttershy.

“Yes,” But a few seconds later, she drew closer and whispered to her yellow friend, “Well… actually I wasn’t the one who did the moving. Celestia sent some… super-secret friends of hers to help do all the real heavy lifting, in the dead of night.”

“Sneeeaky,” said Fluttershy, and Twilight shushed her. Then Fluttershy looked up toward a cloud where some pegasi foals were playing around. “Twilight, would you excuse me for just two teeny minutes?”

And she flew up towards the foals. Twilight sat off to the side of the road and watched as Fluttershy first exchanged a few words with the young pegasi, then had some kind of pegasus game with them. A kind of mock aerial dogfight, where they circled round and round each other in the sky with much goodnatured giggling. But it was a quick game, and soon Fluttershy had said bye and was back on ground level with Twilight.

“Sorry about that,” she said, as they both began walking again. “I’m actually helping throw a birthday party for that white filly up there, and I’m also making her special birthday dress with Applejack, and I wanted to make sure of a few things.”

“Sure,” said Twilight, before lowering her voice again. “Say, Fluttershy? Something I’ve been noticing. Rarity likes to focus a lot on flying and even her unicorn spells tends to be very, well… ‘pegasus-y.’ And I remember Applejack… more than once she’s told me she regrets not being born with a horn.”

“I’ve heard that from her too a few times!” said Fluttershy.

“But you… you’ve got an earth pony’s cutie mark on you, and yet, you seem to really enjoy flying! I mean, you’re even more comfortable up in the air than your old self was!”

“I dunno! Guess the ol’ Pinkie Pie would’ve been right at home with a pair of wings! I mean, it’s in her blood, after all.” Fluttershy grinned.

“In… her blood?” Twilight gave Fluttershy a cock-eyed look that she usually reserved for Pinkie.

“Yeah! Granny Pie herself was a Pegasus! I… I mean, Pinkie looked up to her and loved her lots… Always wanted to fly with her. The swap tells me it’s cause my wings weren’t strong enough when I was younger, but now… I realize it was ‘cause she couldn’t fly at all.” She paused, looking sad for a fraction of a second, before shaking it off with a cheerful grin. “Boy howdy, was my old self missing out on a lot!”

“I suppose so,” said Twilight, picturing the old curly-maned Pinkie Pie sprouting a pair of pink wings from her back, and zipping about like a firefly on caffeine. She shivered. “But maybe it was for the best.”

Fluttershy spread her wings, and for the rest of the journey, she flapped a foot above the ground all the way into Twilight’s home.

“So you moved your lab inside your house?” asked Fluttershy, when they stepped in.

“Not exactly,” said Twilight, leading her to stand before a certain wall.

“You know, I don’t recall this full-length mirror being here before,” Fluttershy commented. “But it looks pretty! Did you buy it re…”

“Who can take tomorrow,” Twilight Sparkle intoned, “dip it in a dream, separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream?”

Fluttershy went quiet as every light in the room suddenly turned blue. And the full-length mirror shone an unearthly glow all over Twilight Sparkle’s body.

“You have been identified as Twilight Sparkle, both in body and soul,” the mirror told her in an echoing voice. “Of sound mentality, untouched by any mind-altering magics or substances. And of reasonably even-tempered emotionality, as well. Welcome, Twilight Sparkle, what may I do for you?”

“I desire passage,” Twilight told the mirror. “For myself, and that of a single guest: Fluttershy.”

And Twilight nudged Fluttershy in front of the mirror. It scanned her as well, with the same glow.

“You are indeed Fluttershy, and you are not holding Twilight Sparkle under any form of duress.”

“You could’ve just asked,” Fluttershy said, feeling insulted.

“Princess Celestia is now being contacted. Please wait patiently.” A moment later, the mirror said, “Princess Celestia bestows her permission to Fluttershy. You are both free to pass through.”

And the mirror turned into an opaque bronze color. Twilight stepped through and Fluttershy followed after her.

They entered a laboratory packed with all the same equipment that Twilight had brought into Rarity’s cloud house, plus a few things more. Such as scientific instruments so advanced-looking, they probably qualified as state secrets, in and of themselves. Also, other equipment she remembered being in Twilight’s sub-basement lab when her Flutter sense… Er, Pinkie’s.. Pinkie sense? was being tested.

“Did... Discord make this place?” Fluttershy had to ask Twilight.

“No. This isn’t one of Discord’s chaos zones. We’ve been transported over to a real location. We’re in S…” Twilight stopped herself from saying the place’s actual name. “We’re inside a top secret blacklisted underground government research facility.”

“Ooh! Ooh! D’ya wanna swear me to secrecy?” Fluttershy eagerly asked.

“Maybe just before we leave.” Twilight proposed.

“In the meantime, why don’t we get down to business?” said a little brownish bunny-shaped thing by Fluttershy’s forehoof. One with a miniature goat horn and deer antler on his head.

“Discord!” Fluttershy smiled. “So great to see you!”

The draconequus returned to his real height and shape and flashed a cheeky grin.

“Discord, here, paid a friendly visit to Rainbow Dash the other day,” Twilight explained. “I was there, and I got him to agree to come meet us here today.”

“Hold on,” Fluttershy said, looking between Twilight and Discord. “Let me guess… he’s the one who’s gonna hypnotize me?!”

Twilight looked slightly chagrined. “Well, originally, I was gonna do it to try and do it to you myself… read up five different books on hypnosis techniques, but then I saw Discord and figured, well, y’know…”

“...Why not leave it to a pro?” Discord finished for Twilight, now wearing a broad turban, with the rest of his body cloaked in mysterious cloth.

“Unless you wouldn’t feel comfortable,” said Twilight, remembering what a horrible experience it had been for her friends that earlier time, when they had all been enemies with the draconequus. When he had gazed into each of their eyes and warped their entire way of thinking…

“Are you kidding?” Fluttershy scoffed. “Discord’s as much a friend to me as you are, Twilight! Go ahead! Let’s do this!”

The draconequus bent and placed his hands on both of Fluttershy’s shoulders. He shut his eyes, then reopened them, and they were swirly, oh so swirly and colorful, and now Fluttersh colorful swirls and Twilight felt herself being drawn in from where she stood, until her willpower jolted her back to her senses and she snapped her eyeballs shut. Soon enough, she felt Discord’s hand on her own shoulder.

“She’s all yours, maestro,” Discord said, and Twilight dared opening her eyes. “Pick your words carefully, though. She’s very suggestible in this state.”

And he went over to the animals’ cages, pulled out Mew Mew the cat and started playing with her, while still facing the ponies.

Looking into Fluttershy’s eyes was like looking into a pair of kaleidoscopes. She just stood looking outward and grinning vacantly, with those eyes like a mystical rainbow vortex.

“Fluttershy? Can you hear me, Fluttershy?”

“Loooud and cleeear,” Fluttershy told her, in a sleepwalker’s voice.

“We’re… we’re going to take a journey to the very bottom of your subconscious, Fluttershy. We’re gonna see what it looks like.”

“Sooounds fuuun."

How agreeable are we talking?

By "agreeable," did you perhaps mean "suggestible?" If so, then my answer is "highly suggestible." If Twilight told Fluttershy she was a frog in this state, she'd be trying to catch flies.
