Twilight meets the Draconequus

Fluttershy ran down the road and over the hill toward the small town of Ponyville, to the large tree in the center. In addition to being the local library, it also happened to be her friend’s Twilight's, home where she took care of the books with the help of her assistant, Spike.
She ran in, scaring her friend who happened to be reading a book at the time while Spike was on a ladder above her. In her surprise, Twilight bumped into the ladder, making him land on her back with a thump and nearly knocking her over. He looked at Twilight and gave a nervous chuckle and a small thank you before hopping off her back while Twilight walked over to Fluttershy.
"Hi Fluttershy, what has you in such a rush?" She asked, surprised at her normally shy friend.
"T-twilight...Last night...I-it came to my house." She said meekly, looking at her, "I-it was...It was like Discord. It's still there..." She looked scared and motioned out the door.
"Spike watch the house, I have to go over to Fluttershy's." Twilight called out, looking at her friend with a reassuring smile. She nodded at Fluttershy, walking out the door and closing it behind.
Spike looked down, rolling his eyes and said "At least I'm nearly finished."

In the few minutes it took reach Fluttershy's house, Fluttershy gave all the details of what had happened the night before and that morning. When she described the new being Twilight used her magic to take notes on his looks and how he had acted. She was surprised; thinking whatever it was would have been a miniature Discord.
When they finally came to the front door of the cottage, Twilight and Fluttershy could hear slight snoring coming from inside. Twilight opened the door quietly and saw horns sticking up from the edge of the couch that was facing away from them.
Fluttershy stayed behind Twilight as she walked forward, peaked around the couch after walking inside. She nearly shouted at seeing the Draconequus. Quickly covered her mouth with one of her hooves, she walking quietly, taking notes on most of his body. She smiled a little, her mind racing of how she could write books about the thing before she heard the soft breathing of sleep coming from it stop.
She blinked, surprised at seeing Jake look at her, his eyes staring from behind the glasses that were perched on his nose. While she looked him in the eyes he looked straight back. They didn't stop staring before Angel threw the end of a carrot at Jake's head. He turned, glaring at the Rabbit who stuck its tongue out at him.
"Uh...Hello, I am Twilight Sparkle. A pleasure to meet you sir." She said making Jake look back."Nice to meet you too," He said, sitting up slowly, "I'm Jake." He smiled a little, not sure what to make of the Purple unicorn. He had seen a few marks on the paper he couldn't read, but he had assumed they were notes of some kind. He saw Fluttershy hiding near the door, "Oh hello again Fluttershy." He said, making her jump in surprise.
"I'm sorry, but can you tell me where you are from? We've only seen one of your...um...Kind before." She asked, wondering if she would be the one to be able to find out where Discord had come from.
"I'm not exactly sure...I don't even know what I am. I woke up this way..." He said before he reached under the coffee table and pulling a large yellow book, "I found this near my violin case when I woke up though." He held the book out to the purple pony.
Twilight took the book and read the title, "The Egghead's Guide to being a Draconequus." She studied the cover and found the author to be none other than Discord Q. She placed the book on the table and cleared her throat.
"You're a Draconequus," She said saying looking at the book, "From what I've read, Draconequus are beings of...Chaos, Anarchy, and general Insanity."
"Well, that's... different." He said, watching her look at himself, again thinking, "That'd make my...body make more sense, I guess." He stared at his hands again.
"You seem...Calm knowing this." Twilight said confused looking at him.
"Well...Kind of I guess." He said looking, at her again, "I've always been the...Freak, out alone in the middle of a dark room while no one's around kind of person." He rubbed the back of his head, but when his hand pressed against the bump on his head he made a hiss of pain, jerking his hand away.
"Ah, well then...It'd be better if no one saw you for now until I can inform the Princess." She said, thinking that the Princess would definitely want to know this.
"Alright, you're not trying to send me into some kind of dungeon or something are you?" He asked, looking at her with one of his eyebrows raised. Twilight Sparkle turned around and walked toward the door.
"Oh no...Just have to make sure about something is all." She said smiling nervously, making a motion for Fluttershy to go back to the library while she walked slowly. She had to tell the Princess...she had to be sure they didn't have the next Discord on their hooves.
