Fluttershy sighed. Discord stared in concern at his friend.

"Hm? Fluttershy? You all right?"

Fluttershy turned a kind smile on the draconequss.

"Oh, I'm fine... Just... A little unhappy."

"Oh? Why is that?" Discord asked, leaning in as the wallpaper turned into eyes.

Behind Fluttershy, that is. It wouldn't do to make her uncomfortable.

"Well... I really like Shepherd, but well... It's hard to assume a form that is compatible with him. I can't just make Twilight do it all the time..."

"Yes, she can be quite... Stingy with the transformation at times," Discord observed. "But why not ask me?"

"Well, I don't want to just ask you for favors like that," Fluttershy blushed hard, "um, all the time..."

Discord chuckled.

"Well, I suppose that makes sense... Wait!"

Several lightbulbs shaped as lemons lit up over his head.

"That's it! Why don't I make it easy for you to do the transformation instead?"

Fluttershy blinked.

"Er, that would be nice... But how?"

Discord grinned.

"Oh, you'll see~..."





"Andrew~... Andrewww~..."

I blinked a few times as I slowly woke up. I sat up in my bed, and blinked a few times as I yawned.

"Uwahh... Ah?" I blinked repeatedly. Floating just outside my window was a beautiful, naked woman. Her long pink hair was flowing around her like she was in a L'Oreal commercial, as a horn glowed in her forehead and her wings slowly flapped. She was incredibly ethereal, shining like the full moon.

She floated in, a warm loving smile on her face as she crossed the threshold to alight on the edge of my bed.

"... Fluttershy?" I finally asked. She nodded.

"Mmhm."

"... You're naked," I pointed out. She giggled.

"I usually am."

Okay, she had a point.

"Um... You're also floating and human and... Have a horn-OOPH!" She pounced on me, pinning me to the mattress. I gulped as her expression became... Hungry.

"There's something I heard in one of your human science fiction shows," she purred.

"Um... 'Let the human go?'" I guessed. Well, pleaded.

"Resistance. Is. Futile," she growled.





Discord skipped across the grass field, hopping from one foot to another and spinning around cheerfully.

"Doo doo doo... Dah dah dah... I don't know what to say to you~..." Discord looked off to the left and raised his eyebrows. "Is it a Sting reference? A Mystery Science Theater 3000 reference? Or both? You decide!" He turned back and walked up to the front door of Andrew's house. He knocked on the door... Only to have it open for him. He blinked.

"Hm?"

"Oh! Oh... Good morning Discord!" Fluttershy said cheerfully. She was in human... Alicorn... humalicorn form, he guessed, and smoking what appeared to be a cigarette. She was also wrapped in a robe. She sighed happily. "Ahhh~..."

"Ahhh... Fluttershy! Nice to see you... Where's Shepherd?" Discord asked, feeling a bit put off. Fluttershy had a real talent for that.

"Oh... He probably won't be... Um... Getting up for a while," she said. She giggled, and flew off singing a happy tune. Discord followed her with his eyes, and then stuck them back in his head. He shrugged.

"Hello? Andrew? Hello?" Discord poked his head through the nearby mirror into Andrew's bedroom. "Andrew I-Woah!" Discord covered his eyes with one claw. "Woah... Andrew! Have a bit of decency when you're in a post-coital coma!"

"Uwaahhhhh..." Andrew managed from his position on the floor. Discord hummed.

"I've gotta say, that little butterfly keeps impressing me more and more..." He grinned, and held up a camera phone.

"Nngh...!"

"Sorry Shepherd! But I just can't pass up the chance for a bit more chaos! Chaos before bros, after all."

"Grrgle..."

"I know, I know, you hate me. What else is new?"
