Chapter 4: Home is Where the Critters Live

After a few hours of the tour of Ponyville:

Fluttershy and Tiger Lily starts to make their way to her cottage and Tiger Lily was her wagon with her belonging. Tiger Lily feels happy that Fluttershy's cottage is going to be full of different animals.

"So Fluttershy, what are we going to do once we get there?" Tiger Lily asks.

"Well when we get to the cottage I need to feed all the animals then we can go meet Twilight to have dinner with like she suggested," Fluttershy answers.

"Mind if I help?" Tiger Lily asks happily.

"Oh I don't mind at all I really appreciate the help," Fluttershy answers happily.

"You're welcome," Tiger Lily replies.

Fluttershy and Tiger Lily made it to her cottage and Tiger Lily become amazed that her cottage is like an animal's place to call home.

"Wow Fluttershy, your cottage look's beautiful," Tiger Lily says happily.

"Thank you Tiger Lily I did my best to take care all the animals that comes in Ponyville," Fluttershy replies.

When Fluttershy opens the door Tiger Lily becomes amaze by all the different creatures she sees in Fluttershy's cottage.

"So Tiger Lily what do you think?" Fluttershy asks happily, but hears no response.

She can see that Tiger Lily looks really surprised and her eyes widen and becomes really big.

"Tiger Lily are you okay?" Fluttershy asks worriedly.

"It's amazing," Tiger Lily replies with sparkles in her eyes.

"I'm glad you like it. Oh by the way there is something I need to ask you?" Fluttershy says.

"What's that?" Tiger Lily asks.

"Do you ever had a pet before?" Fluttershy asks her question.

Tiger Lily hesitated at first then she says, "Well to be honest I don't have a pet at all."

"Really I figure that you live in a forest that…" Fluttershy tries to say something but Tiger Lily put her hoof on her chest to stop her talking.

Then she says, "I know it just… I don't feel like having them capitated and I don't think of the animals at my home as pet, I thought of them more like friends and sometimes family."

"Aww that is so sweet," Fluttershy replies.

"Now let's go to the guest room upstairs and get you settle in," Fluttershy says.

"Oh and before I forget there's a friend of mine who like to pop in every now and again so maybe I can introduce you to him," Fluttershy replies.

"Really who is this friend of yours?" Tiger Lily asks.

"His name is Discord and he is also known to do a lot of chaos, but tries to not do it so much," Fluttershy explains.

"Chaos? You mean he does magic?" Tiger Lily asks questionably.

"You could say that," Fluttershy says.

"Okay," Tiger Lily replies.

The she decide to ask, "Fluttershy. Do you think he'll come by?"

"Maybe he always like coming in unexpected," Fluttershy answers.

"Okay," Tiger Lily replies happily.

"Now it's time for you to get to bet tomorrow we're going to see Rarity," Fluttershy replies happily.

"Okay," Tiger Lily says. Then starts to make her way to the guest room to get some sleep.

The next day:

Tiger Lily and Fluttershy are feeding the apples. Fluttersy is amazed that Tiger Lily is a natural for animals as much as she is. To Fluttershy, Tiger Lily is like one with nature more than any pony she encountered.

Tiger Lily decides to grab a snake, until she notice that the apples on the tree are different color and wonder if it taste good so she decide to head to Fluttershy to asks.

"Hey Fluttershy do you know the apples from your tree are different colors and do they taste good?" Tiger Lily asks.

After hearing that she gets that the only way that the apples are different colors can only mean one thing, "I think that was Discord magic."

"Discord? That friend you told me about?" Tiger Lily asks.

"Yes I'm guessing he here," Fluttershy relies.

Just then the flash of light appeared out of nowhere and reveals Discord the spirit of chaos and now a very good friend. As soon as he appeared Tiger Lily gets scared and decide to hide behind Fluttershy. Fluttershy can understand since Tiger Lily never seen a creature like Discord before.

"Hello," Discord says.

"Hi Discord what are you doing here?" Fluttershy asks curiously and happily.

"Well I was at the castle fooling around and I just happen to hear that there is a new alicorn that nopony is aware of. I'm willing to bet that pony behind you is the alicorn right," Discord says taking a better look at Tiger Lily.

"Why yes Tiger Lily this is Discord. Discord Tiger Lily," Fluttershy replies introducing her to Discord.

"Hello," Tiger Lily says shyly.

"Hello Lily it's nice to meet you so while you like an apple," Discord says as he is trying to hand Tiger Lily a purple plaid apple.

"I don't know," Tiger Lily replies unsure.

"Don't worry it taste better than it looks," Discord says.

"What's wrong," Discord asks in concern.

"Well Discord,you see Tiger Lily never interact with ponies so I guess she can be a bit shy around meeting ponies for the first time. She even got shy while taking to us yesterday at first," Fluttershy replies patting Tiger Lily on the shoulder.

"That's understand about," Discord says agreeing to Fluttershy explanation.

"Does it taste good," Tiger Lily asks nervously.

"Don't worry after one taste you will love it," Discord replies. Then Tiger Lily uses her magic to levitate the apple to her mouth to take a bite. After she ate it her eyes start to sparkle and realize it taste like a few fruit and berries are combined into one fruit.

"This taste really good," Tiger Lily replies with a smile after eating the apple.

"Told you so what are you doing today?" Discord responds with a smile.

"Well since we just finish feeding the animals we're going to Rarity boutiques so her can measure Tiger Lily for a new dress for her," Fluttershy answers Discord's question.

"Well that's nice to here mind if I tag along," Discord asks with a smile.

"Sure," Fluttershy replies happily.

"Okay," Tiger Lily replies.

And so the three friends start to walk to the boutique so Rarity can start making nice and elegant dresses for them.
