The ethereal winds gently swayed the giant leaves of Yggdrasil, high above the two adventuring lovers sitting at the very edge of the water.

"Well!" Discord chuckled, flying around Fluttershy to peer down at the lake's images. "That was adorable. And also unexpected."

"I always thought there was something else going on there," Fluttershy said. "Gilda was always too aggressively defensive that one time for no reason, but Pinkie told me how quickly she came around when she and Rainbow Dash visited Griffonstone much later." She looked up at Discord with a knowing glance. "I happen to know that there's usually something behind anycreature acting that way."

Discord giggled and raised her chin with his claw enough to kiss her and gaze into her eyes. "Oh, I know. Only too well, my dearest Fluttershy, you were the one that saw right through me."

Fluttershy caressed his face with her hoof, closing her eyes and leaning in to press her forehead against his. "And it was just the beginning of something wonderful."

Discord floated back, looking down at the lake once more. "I do remember that Gilda ended up in Griffonstone. What was she doing living in that dump?" he asked, peeking at the scene of a smirking Rainbow Dash playfully bumping her rump against the side of Gilda's as they both cleaned the room up and lit some lights. "If I was her, and had a place like that, why would I ever move to that horrible place?"

"I heard a little about that," Fluttershy replied, her smile and eyes warming up as the griffon and pegasus in the images started playing around as they picked up things and threw out the trash. "I don't know all the details, but apparently she had tried to sell her place shortly after coming back from Ponyville and hadn't been able to make her money back."

The two of them stared at what remained of the balcony.

"I can't imagine why," Discord drawled.

Fluttershy giggled. "Well, I didn't know she had trashed the place so thoroughly, but now that Rainbow Dash is helping her rebuild, I don't think it will be a problem."

Discord grinned. "You know this changes things in this alternate timeline," he said. "I don't think she'll get together with Applejack now."

Fluttershy gave him a sly look, then reached down to agitate the waters a little. Each ripple moved time forward. A ripple here showed Rainbow Dash molding clouds while a Diamond Dog Foredog shouted instructions while Gilda and more Diamond Dogs pushed and held the rock parts of the balcony together.

Another ripple showed Discord. Another showed Chrysalis. Another showed Sombra. And eventually…

Discord's eyes went wide. "Oh my. So Gilda, Rainbow Dash an—"

Fluttershy shrugged and smiled. "Applejack always protested a little too much, but I always knew she'd be into a relationship that was… somewhat more exotic."
