Discord stretched his limbs out, screaming.....which turned into a yawn as began wiggling his whole body out.
"Oh! Ooh! Ooooh! Well, it's about time somebody got me out of that prison block. What a relief!" Stretching his arms over his head, he snapped his fingers, causing a nearby squirrel to grow bat wings and fly around.
The girls gasped.
"What are you doing!?" Twilight demanded.
Discord pulled on his cloven leg. "Nnnnnnnnngh– Why, stretching, of course. When you're a creature of chaos, stone bodysuits aren't your typical go-to fashion choice. Nnngh..." He snapped his fingers again, bringing some nearby flowers to life with evil looking faces. Using their leaves, they began picking up some stones and throwing them at various objects.
"Make those flowers pretty again!" Pinkie stamped her foot.
Discord teleported to the flowers and began to pet one with his finger. "Aww...but they're adorable just the way they are." He recoiled when the flower tried to bite him with it's sharp teeth. He simply folded his arms and blew a raspberry at it.
"You know what else is adorable?" He teleported over to Sunset and Fluttershy. He examined at them through a huge microscope."That you all truly think you can reform me. And that you're putting your faith in these two to make it happen." Then he appeared in between them, dressed as a grandmother and began pinching their cheeks. "Makes me wanna pinch your little magicky cheeks..."
Sunset glared at him, pulling away and rubbing her sore cheek. "How'd you know about that?!"
Discord gave her a flat look. "Being turned to stone doesn't keep me from hearing every word Celestia says." He then proceeded to remove his eyes and roll them on the ground. "Although I admit it makes rolling my eyes a challenge." The eyes landed in two holes, and the earth around them transformed into Discord.
Twilight stepped forward. "Well, unless you want us to turn you back to stone, you'll zap those things back the way they were, pronto!"
Fluttershy glared at him."You think you can treat poor defenseless animals like that and get away with it?!"
"You go Fluttershy!" Rainbow cheered.
"You'd best watch your step, buster, or I'll give you... the Stare!"
The girls actually gasped at this. The stare was Fluttershy's secret weapon .It was skill that was normally exclusive to mothers and teachers. When she used it, no animal or person could refuse her.
Discord burst out into laughter! "Oh right! Your scary disapproving eyeballs! Ha ha!"
Fluttershy glared at him, and then proceeded to do 'the stare'.
The nearby animals ran for cover and even the world around them seemed to go quiet out of fear.
Discord cowered in front of her, his eyes going red and swirly. "No! Please! Anything but that! I'm melting! I'm meeeeellllttttiiiiinnnngggg!" With that, he quickly dissolved into a puddle. Fluttershy gasped and was about to poke it when in a flash of light, Discord was back and laughing hysterically.
"You're hilarious!" he laughed.
Twilight had had enough, and put her foot down. "If it turns out we do have to turn you back into stone, I'm sure we can convince Celestia, Luna and even the Gods themselves that it was for a good reason!"
This caused Discord to pause. "Mmm... I suppose that's correct." Defeated, he snapped his fingers and turned everything back to normal. He gave the girl and innocent grin and shrug....while the white tuft on his tail turned into fingers and snapped.
"Ooopsie!" He whispered to....someone......"Well it looks know where I'll be crashing while I'm being "reformed"... With you two!" He summoned them into his eagle arm while giving them a noogie with his lion paw all while laughing.
"Oh dear..." Fluttershy mumbled and she and Sunset looked ahead in horror.
They decided on Fluttershy's house first (since when they called Celestia and Luna all that could be heard was Luna shouting) and because Twilight wanted to keep Discord as far from CHS as possible.
"I Know he's been borrible, but that doesn't mean we have to be horrible back." Fluttershy told her friends as she quickly tidies up the place. Discord had already made himself home on the couch.
"It doesn't?" Rainbow asked, only to receive an elbow from AJ.
"We should at least try to be polite and hospitable."
Sunset stepped forward. "She's right. Take me for instance I was-"
"A demon?" Rainbow spoke, only to receive another elbow from AJ.
"-mean." Sunset finished. "But you guys took a chance with me. It's only fair we do the same with him."
"Thank you Sunlight!" Discord exclaimed.
"Sunset."
"Oh whatever." Discord waved it off. "I just want to thank you and Fluttershy for your concerns. If only your other friends could be so considerate..."
"Don't listen to him!" Rainbow shouted. "He's just trying to drive a wedge in between us like last time!"
"Oh please Rainbow Dash!" Discord rolled his eyes. "Do you honestly expect the spirit of chaos to repeat himself?" Beside him was another Discord, who just repeated what he said. Glaring, the first Discord snapped the second away.
AJ rubbed her nose. "Ah can't watch this."
"Yeah, I gotta get going."
Twilight turned to the two teens with worry.
"Are you sure you girls will be able to handle him?" They turned and saw him bringing some glass animal decorations to life, scaring Angel.
" I know it's not gonna be easy, but it's worth a try. Besides..." Fluttershy and Sunset looked at each other and smiled. "I-I think we can actually know what to do."
Twilight was shocked. "You do!?"
Sunset nodded. "I think the key is to befriend him. Just give him some space and being kind is the best way to do that. Just like what you girls did for me."
Twilight looked away, thoughtful. "Alright....but just say the word and we'll be there with the Elements." She glared at Discord. "So watch your step mister!"
Discord looked surprised. "Wh-what?! Look at me!" He snapped his fingers, and then he was wearing a bathrobe reading the newspaper while smoking a bubble pipe. "I'm practically reformed already!"
Twilight looked doubtful, but left with the others anyway.
Once the door was shut, Sunset turned to Discord with a determined look.
"Alright....let's get to work!"
