Discord Vs. Diamond

“Goodbye, Diamond, I’ll be back on Monday night. And please, try not to give Ms. Fluttershy any trouble when she gets here.” Filthy Rich said to his daughter before trotting out of the mansion and shutting the door behind him.

Diamond Tiara scrunched up her face and let out an angry groan.

“I DON’T need a foalsitter I said. I can take care of myself just fine I said. But does he ever listen? Noooo.” She grumbled to nopony in particular.

She walked up the stairs to her room, still lost in her own, angry thoughts.

“Oh well. At least I have a couple minutes to myself before she gets here. And Fluttershy’s a total pushover anyway. It’s not like she’s going to give me any REAL trouble.” She said.

Diamond made it to her room and sat herself down in front her rather expensive looking mirror and started brushing her mane. Diamond Tiara’s bedroom was pretty much the thing that defined every stereotype about fillies her age. Teddy bears covering her gigantic bed, Neon Lights posters everywhere, a picture of Applebloom on a dartboard engulfed in darts (okay, not so fillylike there), and everything, I repeat EVERYTHING, was pink. If it wasn’t obvious before that she was a stuck-up, spoiled little brat, it would be now if you saw it for yourself.

“I don’t know. Maybe if I can get Silver Spoon to come here for the weekend things won’t be so bad, just as long as Fluttershy doesn’t get in my way.” She said.

Diamond sat in front of her mirror, admiring the unbearable cuteness of her face’s reflection. She had pretty much convinced herself that she was absolute perfection. Her dazzling pink and white mane, the sparkle of her tiara, her bright yellow eyes, a completely flawless smile…



“…Wait what?! Yellow eyes?!” Diamond exclaimed, snapping out of her trance.

After coming back to reality, Diamond realized her reflection had been REALLY messed up. Her eyes had been turned completely yellow with red pupils, both with different sizes, and it smiled devilishly back at her.

“Hehehehe. SURPRISE!” It shouted in a voice that was most definitely NOT hers.

Diamond fell off her chair in shock, and lay on the floor looking at the twisted version of herself in the mirror, looking quite scared. The pony in the mirror backed up a bit, ran in her direction, and jumped right out of the mirror. But what came out didn’t even remotely resemble a pony. It had the same yellow eyes and all, but it was way too tall and had the body parts of a ton of different animals. It stood up from it’s crouching position on the floor, raised it’s head up and let out a maniacal laugh.

“Mwahahahaha! That look on your face! Hilarious!” Discord laughed.

Diamond recovered from Discord’s cheap jumpscare and gave him a major death glare.

“Oh it’s you. What are you doing in my house loser?” She asked rather rudely.

Discord didn’t care much for this filly’s bad attitude, and only chuckled.

“Oh now isn’t that just precious? The snobby little filly thinks she’s better than me just because her daddy’s worth more than the combined income of Ponyville. It’s just too cute!” Discord chuckled, pinching the filly’s cheek.

After Discord let go, Diamond rubbed her sore cheek with her hoof, still giving that angry look.

“You didn’t answer my question you jerk. Why the hay is a freak like you in my home?” She growled.

Again, Discord found himself not being able to take the little brat seriously, but decided to go ahead and humor her.

“Well the answer to that question is quite simple my little pony. I’ve been assigned to look after a certain little filly. Tell me, does a miss Diamond Tiara live here?” He asked with a hint of fake ignorance on the matter.

Discord had been doing a pretty good job at getting on Diamond’s nerves, and it showed…a lot.

“Yeah, she’s me. But Fluttershy was supposed to foalsit here! What the hay did you do to her?!” Diamond yelled.

Discord looked pretty uninterested in the filly’s yelling, as he had just been laying in a reclining position in the air and let out a loud yawn, waving his lion paw in front of his mouth.

“Oh fine, I suppose you deserve an explanation. You see, this is what happened…”




Fluttershy had just come back into her cottage after feeding her chickens, when she heard what sounded like barfing coming from the bathroom.

“Oh my. That doesn’t sound good.” She said.

She walked over to the bathroom door and gave it a knock.

“Angel? Angel Bunny are you alright?” she asked nicely.

At that moment, the sound of a toilet flushing could be heard, and the door opened, revealing a very sick looking rabbit. His face had turned a dark green, his whiskers looked disheveled and unkempt, and he had bags under his eyes.

Fluttershy gasped at seeing Angel looking so sick.

“Angel! Oh you poor thing you look terrible!” Fluttershy cried.

Angel gave a glare that communicated ‘Yeah. I’ve noticed.’, and let out a very loud sneeze. A trickle of snot dripped from his twitching nose, prompting him to suck it back in.

Fluttershy scooped the rabbit in her hooves and flew him into his bed, and put a hoof on his forehead.

“Oh my, you’re burning up! Don’t worry honey, I’ll take care of you.” She said.

Suddenly in a bright flash of white light, Discord appeared by Angel’s bedside wearing a nurse’s outfit. He scanned his eyeballs across the tiny rabbit’s figure, stuck a thermometer into his mouth, causing the mercury to rise, and the end to completely shatter.

“Hmmm. In my professional opinion…this guy’s sick as all heck.” Discord pointed out the obvious.

Fluttershy gave her chaotic roommate an unamused stare.

“Hey, I’m only telling the truth.” Discord said shrugging his shoulders.

“I know, and it’s really sweet of you to try and help and everything but…” Fluttershy sighed.

Another flash of light ensued, and Discord appeared behind Fluttershy, holding her shoulders, now minus the nurse uniform.

“Awww what’s wrong Fluttershy?” Discord asked.

“Well, it’s just that, I had to foalsit for Mr. Rich for the weekend, but now that Angel’s sick, there’s no way I can leave the house.” She said sadly.

Discord cocked one of his big, white eyebrows.

“Soooo what? Just cancel it. It’s no big deal. Foalsitters cancel all the time.” He said.

Fluttershy shook her head.

“I couldn’t cancel on such short notice. I’d sound so rude doing that…Oh but I can’t just leave Angel like this. What am I going to do?” she sadly asked herself.

After a few moments, Fluttershy’s ears perked up, and she looked up at Discord with a huge grin.

“Fluttershy, what’re you giving me that…..No way.” Discord was able to tell what she was thinking almost immediately.

“Pleeeeease Discord? Can you watch Mr. Rich’s daughter for a few days for me?” Fluttershy pleaded.

“Fluttershy, I am the God of Chaos for Celestia’s sake, I have a reputation to live up to! Besides, that title doesn’t exactly speak foalsitter to well does it?” Discord said.

Fluttershy wouldn’t let up though.

“Pleasepleasepleaseplease?” she asked

Discord turned his back and crossed his arms.

“No. I don’t wanna.” Discord wasn’t budging.

Fluttershy was running out of options. Nopony else was free for the weekend, Discord was acting like an immovable wall, and all rational ways to deal with this problem have failed. Fluttershy knew that her signature stare didn’t work on Discord, but she did have SOMETHING that did work. Whenever she needed something from anypony immune to “The Stare”, she had to resort to her secret weapon.

Fluttershy’s ace in the hole…

Overwhelming cuteness.
















Discord noticed the face Fluttershy was giving him and winced.

“You can give me that look all you want Fluttershy, but my decision stands firm.” He said.

“…”

“...You’re gonna have to stop sometime.”

“…”

“…Seriously Fluttershy, cut it out.”

“…”

“…..Gaaaaargh! Alright fine! I’ll watch the kid okay?! Just stop looking at me like that! You happy now!?” Discord yelled in defeat.

Fluttershy’s tears immediately sucked back into her eyes, and a smile returned to her face.

“Thank you Discord.” She said cheerily, returning to Angel’s bed to look after him. As she did that, Discord came to a sudden realization.

‘Wait…was I just outsmarted by Fluttershy?’ he thought to himself…





“She ditched me for a RABBIT?!” Diamond yelled in utter disbelief.
Discord resumed laughing.

“Kind of a negative way of looking at it, but pretty much yeah.” Discord chuckled.

Diamond Tiara’s eyebrows narrowed and her face was still in a scowl.

“I guess if her dumb pet is sick then it’s a little understandable. A little. But she couldn’t have at least sent somepony less…I don’t know…UGLY?!” Diamond shouted.

“Hey you’re no prize yourself, sister. I swear my head is spinning from all that darn perfume you’re wearing.” Discord said, and he meant that literally, because the second he caught wind of it, his head spun rapidly all the way around his neck.

“Hey, I smell fantastic! I’ll have you know that my daddy buys me the most divine and expensive fragrances known to ponykind!” Diamond yelled.

Discord put his eagle talons to his face.

“Oh what have I gotten myself into?...We’re getting a tad off track here Ms. Tiara. The point is-“ Discord snapped his talons, disappeared, and reappeared next to the filly, now wearing a Mary Poppins outfit.

“The point is that I’m in charge of you while your dad’s away. And until he gets back, you’re stuck with me…so you better get used to it. And who knows, you may learn to enjoy it, what with my nutty powers of Chaos and all.” Discord said, drumming his fingers together with an evil smile on his face.

Discord once again, snapped his fingers and disappeared. Across the hallway, Diamond heard the sound of the toilet in the bathroom flushing, followed by a loud explosion.

“Whoops…Ummm Diamond? I think somepony may have flooded your uhh…you know…entire bathroom.” Discord shouted from the other side.

Diamond facehooved at her new foalsitter’s lame excuse.

“This can’t possibly end well.” She said.
