A helping paw? Or was it claw?

Chapter 1

Fluttershy loves her animals dearly. Most of her day was spent looking after her beloved animals, or watching over someone's pet, or treated a sick or injured pet. Everypony wondered what she would do if she wasn't hanging around her friends or if she wasn't tending to her animals, and if she had the time to answer those questions, she would say that she's spending time with her dear friend Discord.

Many would find themselves questioning her sanity, wondering why she would choose to willingly spend time with the Lord of Chaos himself, a Draconequus devoid of kindness and friendship. If she were to answer those questions, she would say that everypony and creature great and small have the ability to be kind and have the ability to make friends. However, Fluttershy began developing feelings for Discord stronger than a simple friendship, and she would often be unintentionally blushing or stuttering around the Drraconequus sometimes, something that confused Discord.

Discord loved everything chaotic, and had his own domain where he can make it rain Chocolate Milk and turn any place upside down. Once a creature devoid of kindness and friendship, Discord sought to rule Equestria in Chaos after his years of being in a statue, frozen in time like an accessory. Upon redeeming himself to Twilight and her friends, he had gotten close to Fluttershy and adored her kind nature and unconditional kindness towards him. This had developed a small crush on her over time, adoring her soft voice, her love for animals and her kindness that had made him see that there was more to life than Chaos and misconduct.

One day, however, a few days before the date of their weekly Tea Party, Fluttershy had become too overwhelmed with her animals ever since Angel contracted a cold that infected the other animals in her house. Because of this, to her own regret, she had to cancel the tea party in order to tend to her animals properly. A disappointed Discord, who had planned to tell her how he truly felt about her, moped about for a day or two before he contracted a rather splendid idea in his opinion. It had all been more simple than he had made it out to be, what with all the cloudy, chocolate rainy days and making himself look worse-for-wear because he wanted to feel dramatic about it.

This plan of his?

Help Fluttershy take care of her Animals!

It was a foolproof plan of his, or so he was thinking of at that very moment. On the day of the Tea Party, he had up until that point read (or at least attempted) books on how to cater to an animals sickness, and with determination and a sense of chaos in his smile, he clicked his fingers and went straight to Fluttershy's cottage. After all, how hard could looking after a bunch of woodland animals be for the Lord of Chaos?
