Rainbow narrowed her eyes at Shell, while glaring at her. ''Why'd you wanna know that?'' She hissed.

Shell got send a shiver down her spine. ''So we can improve it, of course!'' Shell shouted.

''... Improve their weaknesses?''

''Yes! So we'll become  unstoppable! And then, we won't call ourselves the mane six anymore, but  the Surpreme team! The best of the best!'' Shell shouted, grinning.

Dash said nothing, and the silence drove Shell crazy. She thought Rainbow hated her now for asking.

''I'm sorry I shouldn't have-'' She got cut off by Rainbow.

''Pinkie's an extrovert.  She gets energy from ponies around her, and loves to party. Any silence  or sadness will make her weak. She is the element of LAUGHTER for a  reason...'' Rainbow started, and Shell started making notes.

''Rarity... I don't know  where to begin. She loves being in the spotlight, looking glamorous and  that kind of stuff. She is very full of herself. Her weakness are  things like sports, because she'll get dirty. She also hates things like  trash and ugly things,'' Dash continued.

Shell again, wrote every single word down.

''Then we have  Applejack. She can't sit still. And she doesn't like ponies that lie to  her. She also wants to do everything by herself. And she also wants to please ponies too much. That's all I know about  her,'' Dash said.

''Uhm, alright..?'' Shell said, questioning if this was actually a weakness. But she wrote it down anyway.

''Fluttershy. She's too  shy, and people can abuse her, because she's TOO friendly... She won't  come up for herself, and isn't really brave. She's scared easily, by  frightening things like clowns and stuff, but she can handle any  animal,'' Rainbow said, somewhere in her heart she hated to badmouth  Fluttershy.

''Oh my, alright...'' Shell said mysteriously, and again, wrote it down.

''Then there's Twilight.  She hates it if she doesn't have control over something, or doesn't  know someone's next move. She also hates it if something's going on  behind her back. She goes crazy about that, and everything needs to go  according to plan, otherwise she'll lose it,'' Rainbow said.

Shell quickly wrote it all down, and then looked at the sun. ''Crap it's late, gotta go!'' She said, and flew away to her home.

Rainbow sighed. ''Guess she doesn't want to know my weaknesses,'' she said to herself, but then started thinking for 10 seconds.

She huffed and smirked.  ''Then again, I have no weaknesses, because I'm awesome!'' She said to  herself and started going back home.

- Fluttershy -

After a good three  hours, Discord finally came back with some sandwiches. Fluttershy then  told what happened, and Discord listened patiently to her.

''Huh, that's really weird. But maybe it was just your imagination?'' The spirit of chaos replied.

Fluttershy was silent  for a moment, before nodding her head. ''Maybe you're right, now let's  go and see your cooking skills!'' She said, and grabbed a sandwich,  carefully taking a bite.

Discord looked at  Fluttershy. His expression was blank, but 'Shy knew that if he was  staring at her while she was eating, it was either because he was  hungry, or he was waiting for her judgement. And seen the fact that  there were plently more sandwiches, 'Shy knew that he was waiting for  her to say it's either really bad, or good.

Maybe really good.

''Hmm, it's delicious!'' Fluttershy said happily, and swallowed the piece of bread, then taking another bite.

Discord sighed in relief. ''I'm glad,'' he said, and then took three sandwiches, putting them in his mouth all at the same time.

Without chewing, he swallowed them. Fluttershy frowned.

''You need to chew, Discord! It isn't good for your stomach if you swallow without chewing!'' She lectured.

Discord chuckled. ''I'll be careful next time,'' he said.

''This is going to be perfect!'' The leader pony said, receiving some certain notes.

''Yeah, now even they  can't stop us. Let's go and proceed with the plan tomorrow, first thing  in the morning!'' The stallion replied.

The other pony shook their head violently. ''No way! I first want breakfast!'' They yelled.

Then, suddenly, their voice got down to a dangerous low tone. ''NOTHING is more important then breakfast...'' They hissed.

The stallion sweatdropped at his leader, but was scared anyway, so he took a couple of steps back. ''Okay okay, pretend I didn't say anything, okay?'' He said.

The leader nodded satisfied.
