//------------------------------// // It's just a wee rabbit right? // Story: Ancestry of Angel Bunny // by Glen Gorewood //------------------------------// Near the Everfree forest there is a cabin, a cozy little home where a rather shy Pegasus lives with her beloved pet rabbit and all her animal friends. On this particular day one of her other close friends has paid a visit. After all today is teatime Thursday, and as usual one reformed lord of chaos has come over to spend time with his closest friend and discuss things over tea and cookies. Today though, Discord the chaos god, has something weighing heavily on his mind. You see ever since he first became friends with Fluttershy he has taken notice of how all her other animal friends seem to obey her pet rabbit. For the life of him Discord has been unable to figure out why Angel Bunny id seemingly able to command everything from sparrows to Harry the Bear. Not only that, not a single Everfree monster has ever been seen daring to approach the cabin unless they were ill and in need of care. Actually, as he thinks about it more while levitating his delicious mango chutney tea towards his mouth so he can chug it one go, he's never once heard of any type of mo star problem near the cabin at all. Not once, not even one tiny monster attack. It just does not make sense, nor does it not make chaos sense. In fact it's not making sense and also making sense so much that even his tea tastes bland. There is no way a single Pegasus should be able to live in this house without a single monster attack. Even a Pegasus as powerful and lovely as Fluttershy. As his mind continues to think and ponder to the point steam begins to seep from his ears, the door to the cabin creaks open. Turning one yellow eye towards the crack in the door, Discord sees the creature who has caused him to think so hard enter the home. It's long ears twitch as its nose sniffles, turning its head to stare straight at the master of chaos. In one paw it hold an unusual white carrot, and with the other forepaw it makes an " I'm watching you" gesture; before hopping over to its adorable sleeping basket. As Angel Bunny nestles it's furry white body down to gnaw on its carrot, the owner of the cabin walks in with a basket full of sweets and cakes for tea time. Seeing Discord already seated with a teacup in claw, she smiles and rushes over to her seat; but doing so quieter than a mouse. Setting the treats upon the table, she grabs her own tea cup. "Oh Discord, it's so kind of you to bring the tea this time. It's so unexpected." She says in a gentle voice. The lord of chaos smiles, snapping his fingers to summon a pot of lovely orange lemon herbal the that proceeds to fill the Pegasus mares cup before floating down to the table. "Well, I am the lord of chaos Fluttershy. I am the definition of unexpected!" With another snap of his fingers he summons forth some rather fancy plates made out of wood the color of the rainbow. A smile on his mismatched face does not exactly work as expected due to the steam now billowing from his ears. Fluttershy looks at Discord with concern in her eyes, her light pink mane falling over one eye. "Discord.." she begins in a worried voice "is something bothering you?" The draconequis fumbles about with his tea up before respond ding a little to quickly, obvious anxiety showing in his voice. "No no, of course not Fluttershy. I am the master of chaos, ruler of cups, grand poobah of multi colored spoons! What would make you think I am worried about anything?" His cheesy grin does not fool his friend for one moment. Of course this is likely because as he was speaking, the steamfrom his ears began to take the shape of a rabbit. Fluttershy daintily moves her hair out of her eye before pointing at the bunny shaped steam clouds coming from the draconequis's ears. "Actually Discord.. the bunny shaped steam... coming out of your ears.. tells me you are worried." His cheesy grin falls as the lovely butter yellow Pegasus breaks through his hastily constructed lie like a cake through frosting. Taking a deep breath he leans back in his chair, staring at his teacup before saying what is on his mind. "It's Angel Bunny." Fluttershy raises an eyebrow, confused by Discords response. "What about my Angel Bunny Discord? You can tell me anything, and I'm sure it's nothing to worry about." The lord of chaos sighs, his mis matched eyes looking straight into Fluttershy's. "I think he's a demon who keeps monsters away from your house." Discord says in a rather serious tone for him. Fluttershy giggles a little, quite used to such a mistake concerning her rabbit. Discords expression changes to confusion as his friend giggles at the concept of her beloved rabbit being a demon. Once her mirth is spent she wipes her eyes, looking at her chaotic friend with an expression of relief. "Oh Discord, you had me worried for a moment that something horrible had happened." She says with a smile on her face. The Draconequis sighs once more, putting his chin in his paw in a horrible attempt to look more serious. "I'm serious Fluttershy, I think Angel Bunny is a Demon. It's the only explanation for why you live by the Everfree and not a single uninjured monster has ever approached your house." Fluttershy looks at Discord, and upon realizing he is in fact quite serious about the matter of her rabbit being a demon in disguise. Lifting her tea cup, she takes a sip and savors the flavor before responding. Her face serene and slightly amused. "Discord I can assure you that Angel Bunny is no demon, nor are there any demonic beings in his heritage." The lord of chaos raises an eyebrow, unconvinced. "Well my dear Fluttershy he is certainly no ordinary mortal bunny. So if he's not a demon what is he?" Fluttershy chuckles a little before reaching under the table to pull out an old heavy book labeled "Angel Bunny Ancestry". Placing it before Discord she motions for him to open it. As Discord carefully opens the ancient tome, Fluttershy begins to explain the truth to him. " You see Discord Angel Bunny cones from a very ancient rabbit family...."
