Discord snapped his fingers, producing Angel Bunny.

"He isn't real. I can tell," said Fluttershy. "We've been over this countless times. I refuse to leave you alone, but I still wish I could die."

Discord sighed. "I know, love. How about reminiscing, though?" He reached into his mouth and pulled out a book titled Famous Last Words.

Fluttershy opened the book. "Rarity," she said. "Let's see: 'I need to lie down for a while?' I guess most last words aren't interesting..."

She paused, then said, "Fluttershy," and turned the page.

"Weird. Why would I ever say, 'Rutabaga intransigent equinox'—"

Discord disintegrated his wife and began to cry.
