// Story: Fluttershy's Chaotic Tea Party

It was noon one hot summer day everywhere in Equestria- well, almost everywhere. In it's bizarre neighbouring dimension, it was pretty hard to tell exactly what time it was, as everything was so... chaotic. Every clock in the dimension either ticked backwards or it’s numbers had been replaced with pictures of fruit. The fruit, on the other hand, danced around the purple-coloured universe while all of the strange plants popped in and out of the ground. Random-looking monsters with eyes where they shouldn’t be floated around in empty space while regurgitating smaller versions of themselves in an endless cycle. It was just another day in Chaosville.

While the dimension was strange, it was home to one particularly odd creature named Discord. The draconequus lived in a floating home smack in the middle of all the weird scenery. He had lived there practically all his life, save for a few thousand years where he was living in the Canterlot gardens as a stone statue- but that was ages ago. Now he was reformed had a ton of friends in the town of Ponyville, most notably the Princess Of Friendship, Twilight Sparkle. But his most favourite friend was a pretty yellow pegasus named Fluttershy. They had spent a lot of time together and Fluttershy was able to forgive the villain no matter how much chaos he caused.

Discord particularly loved the tea parties they had at Fluttershy's cottage every Tuesday. Discord hated the taste of tea at first, but the more time he spent with Fluttershy, the more he warmed up to it. They were usually held at the cottage, except for one instance where Discord tried to host one, but he got carried away trying to make himself look perfect and almost faded away into nothingness, but Fluttershy was able to save him and taught him a lesson about just being himself and- yeah, yeah, you saw the episode.

This week, though, Fluttershy wanted to come back to his house, much to Discord's delight. They were sitting in his living room on his floating chairs, drinking their tea and enjoying all the funny sights in the house. Fluttershy was especially interested in the singing teapots floating around the room. She giggled. "Oh my, Discord, I wish I had tea like this at my house. And your finger sandwiches with actual fingers in them are delightful!" The draconequus chuckled. "Oh, of course. That’s an old family recipe." He snapped his lion paw and immediately the fingers were brought back to the stubs on his dragon claw. "I was wondering where I put those. And I hope you don’t mind the piñata's. I think they might have a cold." Suddenly, a piñata lowered itself from the ceiling and sneezed Candy all over them.

Fluttershy laughed. "Goodness, I just love it here at your house. Everything is so YOU! I wonder what would happen if I brought this stuff to MY house- although I’m not sure Angel and the green tea would get along." She wondered. "Oh no, my dear, these items are much too chaotic for you to handle. Besides, I need to return them to the store anyways. I think the glowing napkins are startling to lose their colour."

Fluttershy sighed. "Oh, okay then... I should probably be getting back to the school. Rockhoof is going to tell us about he helped banish the Sirens into another dimension... I just hope he doesn’t destroy the entire classroom again." 

After hugging Discord goodbye and traveling home, Fluttershy sat on her couch at home, looking around at her bland living room. "I HAVE had the room like this for a while- almost nine years, at least! Maybe it’s time for an upgrade." She gasped as an idea came to her. "I know! I’ll make it look just like Discord's! It’ll be so chaotic, he’ll love it! Just like I love him. "

The problem was, Fluttershy was known by the Ponyvillians for being anything but chaotic. Where could she possibly start? "Hmmm..." She flew over to a bookshelf and "accidentally" knocked over an entire row of books. "Oops. I accidentally knocked down all those books! Twilight would hate me for that! That was pretty bad... um, right?” She asked her pet bunny Angel, who had just hopped into the room. He shook his head. 

Fluttershy thought for a minute, and then she got an idea and used all her strength to turn over her couch, nearly crushing a squirrel that was scurrying on the carpet. "Oops! Sorry, Jeremy." She said as it zoomed away. Then Fluttershy looked at herself. "Come to think of it, maybe I should change the way I look just like Discord is always doing." Fluttershy flew up into her bedroom, nudging all the pictures on the wall along the way to make them look slightly crooked,  and emerged shortly wearing her goth outfit from when she watched over Rarity For You. "This dress will make Discord feel, like, totally devoid of life." She said in a hushed tone. Angel glared at her. "Uh, heh heh. Just kidding. I won’t do that again." She said in her regular voice.

For the next few hours, Fluttershy and her animals worked hard to make the cottage look as un-Fluttershy as possible. Leaving all the windows open, putting fans blowing everywhere, mirrors all over the place to make it look like there were Fluttershy's everywhere, and, even though they never discussed it, Fluttershy knew Discord hated gravity. So she taped a bunch of things to the ceiling to make him feel more comfortable. She also knocked a few things over- just try doing all that while wearing a gothic cape.

When she was done, Fluttershy took a step back and smiled at all she had done. She hardly recognized the place- some of the hummingbirds had even painted the walls zany colours. "Wow, great work, everycreature! The place looks totally awful!" The animals gasped. "Oh, no no no, that’s a good thing!" The animals looked relived and applauded. Fluttershy's stomach growled. "Goodness, all this work has made me hungry! Maybe I’ll have some finger sandwiches!" She looked at her hoof in thought. "Too bad I don’t have any real fingers to spare. Wait a minute, that’s it!" She flew into her kitchen and returned shortly with some Kraft Dinner and some ketchup. "Celestia, forgive me for what I’m about to do." She muttered, before popping open the bottle and splattering it all over two big bowls of the Kraft Dinner. The animals all shrieked in disgust. "Lots of ponies do this, okay?!"

The hard part was eating it. Fluttershy could have starved herself for a week and still not have been able to stomach the stuff- it felt she was eating raw live. But after a while, she got used to it, even eating the bowl she was saving for Discord. "Mmm, yummy!" She exclaimed, patting her belly. "Now I feel SO chaotic! I haven’t felt like this since Discord was evil and he hypnotized me and the girls and- oh my gosh! Discord! I have to invite him over for a tea party." She moved towards the phone but was pulled back by Angel, who pointed at the calendar. "Woah, it’s only been a DAY? Well, I’m sure Discord won’t mind two tea parties in one day. And he’ll probably love the new me, I just know it!"

Angel shrugged. Fluttershy was just playing pretend again, right? What could go wrong?
