The Factors of Disharmony

Chapter 1- Spite

Fluttershy was properly shocked. She had had a relatively normal morning until a random brand-new pony showed up at her door. The pony was nearly a mirror image of herself but with reversed colors, and a pierced ear, and a blank flank. Fluttershy, being the element of kindness, had offered this strange pony a place to stay, as she didn't seem to have a home. Fluttershy would give any creature a home, so why in Ponyville wouldn't she give one to a pony? But this particular pegasus, named Spite, just plain creeped her out. The same way that Princess Luna did. Maybe it was the name, or the pierced ear. But Spite have Fluttershy the jitters.

Spite had described herself as being a runaway, because her family didn't like her. "How sad! Is there anything I can do?" Fluttershy had blurted out. Spite had shaken her head sadly. "Not unless you can replace my home or my family." Fluttershy just put her arm around the pink pony, and offered her spare bedroom to her.

While Spite recalled various details about her past, Fluttershy noticed some odd things about her. For instance, she appeared to have sharp fangs, and was slightly taller and lankier than a normal, average pony. Unfortunately, Spite caught Fluttershy staring. "Is there something I can help you with?" She said sharply. Fluttershy considered lying but quickly gave in and asked about her fangs. Spite looked around nervously. "If I show you something, do you promise not to tell anypony? Please?" She looked so desperate that Fluttershy conceded. "Oh, of course! I promise I won't tell anypony, I won't speak of it again." Spite didnt seem reassured in the least, but nonetheless, she took a deep breath, and her body form melted and shifted. It was quite nauseating to look at, so Fluttershy averted her eyes. When she opened them again and turned back around, she saw a pink draconequus with a yellow mane, long fangs, and flapping wings. Fluttershy dropped her teacup, which landed on the ground with a loud shatter. "What the... Oh my goodness! What... Oh my... Why... Um, why... Do you... Um, look like, um... Um, Discord?" She stuttered. Spite took a step back. "Isn't that the evil gigantic draconequus who took over this land multiple times?" "Y-y-yes...?" Fluttershy was stuttering with fear. "Please don't eat me!" Spite laughed nervously. "Silly filly, I'm not going to eat you! To tell you the truth, I hate being a draconequus! I am unfairly judged wherever I go, and nopony likes me!" Fluttershy's fears vanished. "Oh, Spite, it's okay, I like you!" The two sat in silence for a while, before Fluttershy broke it. "Spite, would it be okay with you if I told my friends about you without mentioning your species or name?" Spite sniffed pitifully. "I guess so." Fluttershy sighed in relief. "Oh, good. In that case, I'd best be going. I'm going to attend a picnic with my friends in the park, and I'll see you when I get back." She flew a bit hurriedly out of the door and to the park.
