Halfway through Ponyville, Fluttershy's vision gave out entirely. Twilight let Fluttershy hold onto her tail as to guide her. Soon they had made it to the Everfree forest. As Twilight walked along the faintly outlined path that lead to Zecora's she noticed that the Poison Joke they had stepped in the first time they had met Zecora was still there. It was a relief to see that Discord hadn't destroyed the existing plants, as such could cause problems with the balance of the ecosystem.
Soon they arrived at Zecora's hut. Strangely, the sound of sobbing could be heard coming from the inside. As they stepped inside, Twilight saw that Zecora was curled up in a puddle of tears in the corner.
"Zecora, what's wrong?" Twilight asked.
"Twilight, it's horrible. I stepped in Poison Joke this morning, and now I have forgotten how to rhyme!" Zecora wailed.
"Pray tell, why is that a problem?" Twilight asked.
"Rhyming is a part of me. I can't function right if I can't rhyme. I can barely even think straight right now as it is."
"Why don't you just mix up a batch of that bubble bath like last time?" Fluttershy suggested.
"I lack the ingredients, as well as the clarity of mind." Zecora sobbed.
"I am sure me and Fluttershy could find enough ingredients for both of you," Twilight offered, "That's kind of why we came here. The poison joke has taken her vision."
"What about you? I'm pretty sure you need it too." Zecora said.
Twilight, suddenly remembering that she had fallen into the Poison Joke as well, frantically searched for a mirror. When she found one, she could barely believe what she saw. In place of her horn was a single small wing, and on her back were two horns where her wings should have been.
As she jumped back in shock, she heard laughter from above. When she looked up, none other than Discord was floating on the ceiling, cackling at the spectacle below.
"You should see yourselves right now!" he exclaimed between fits of laughter.
"Discord!" Fluttershy wailed, beginning to cry, "This isn't funny. This is hurtful!"
As Fluttershy's blind eyes continued to produce tears, Twilight saw that Discord was beginning to melt in guilt. With a snap of the finger, Twilight's wings and horn returned to their normal positions, Zecora stopped crying, and Fluttershy's eyes returned to their normal boldness.
It was Twilight's turn to gawk at the spectacle before her as she watched Discord curl up around Fluttershy and hug her, bawling his eyes out.
"I'm so sorry, Fluttershy!" he wept, "I didn't mean to hurt you. I was bored and wanted to do something fun. I never wanted to see you cry!"
Twilight simply stood there, trying to comprehend the fact that that Discord was crying his eyes out. Never in a million years would she have expected the draconequus to do such a thing.
"It is a shock to see him cry, but he does care for Fluttershy." Zecora commented. A look of unbridled joy swept across Zecora's face as she realized that she could once again rhyme as she always had.
Twilight breathed a sigh of relief. Everything was going to be okay.
