	Discord glanced around at all of them, bewildered.  Discord glanced around at all of them, bewildered.   
“Let me remind you that this is only the beginning,” Celestia said.  Discord turned his gaze to her.  “This is the only friend you’ve had – or the only one you’ve truly accepted – so far.  True, the first time you lose somepony is the worst, but that doesn’t mean that you won’t grieve more after Fluttershy.  I’ve lost many friends in my lifetime and I’m the closest to your age.  You are not alone.”
Discord had already taken her hoof.
Suddenly he swung her up into his arms.  He tossed the limp, snow white alicorn over his shoulder and went over to Fluttershy’s coffin.  He then swung Fluttershy’s still body over his other shoulder.  He snapped his yellow eagle talon and thus, teleported them both away.  He teleported the Princess of the Sun to her castle, and his best friend back to her cottage.  The other ponies stared blankly into the air as Discord sighed.
Which Discord sighed?  Why the one watching them all from above of course.  I did!
Bored with these ponies – my puppets – I tossed the cross bars over my shoulder,.
When did I get so sappy?  Suddenly, I had decided to stop all my little Discord’s chaotic fun – which I enjoy tremendously – and get the little guy a best friend.  All of a sudden, I had twisted around my whole little world.  I’d have to twist it back around to the appropriate place!
Honestly, how lonely could I absolutely be?  I only controlled all these creatures, every single one of them.  I had them all to play with!  I could make them do anything, anything at all!  They had no mind to control their own actions! 
Lonely?  As if! I’ve been this way since the beginning!  What was I doing, making such a foolishly sentimental little story play out?  I didn’t need a best friend!  I didn’t need any friends!  And if perhaps I did, then that little Discord down there could get one!  Not me!
Ha!  Lonely.  Makes me laugh really!  Me?!  Lonely?!
I wasn’t…lonely.
