"Why hello, my dear Fluttershy!" Discord bowed formally, grinning outragously as he greeted the pegasus entering her home. Flutter smiled weakly, walking inside. She nodded at the draconequus as she entered the kitchen. "I'm feeling absolutely famished, my little pony," Discord continued, slithering around Fluttershy as she opened cupboards. "And it's been so lonely without you. Your pets are horrible company." He stuck his tongue out at Angel on the table when Fluttershy turned her back. The rabbit scowled at him, hopping out into the living room. "Oh, why do you have to go to those night parties so much? I felt ready to die of boredom." He leaned back dramatically, clapping a paw to his forehead. Fluttershy glanced up at the ceiling, pursing her lips. She looked at Discord, reaching into the cupboard. The draconequus gave her a puzzled look, straightening up. "Is everything okay, my dear?" Fluttershy nodded, pulling out a bowl of shredded paper. She placed it on the table and went to the fridge, taking a box of juice and pouring it into a cup. Discord produced a fork from behind his ear, diving into the paper. He watched Fluttershy prepare her breakfast, munching loudly.
"So," He said, mouthing around the thin strips, "How was the party with dear Pinkie Sky?" The yellow pegasus glanced at him, nodding with a small smile. Discord chuckled, shoving a forkful of paper into his mouth. "Did I say Pinkie Sky? I meant Blinkie Pie. Or is it Blinkie Sky? I can never remember. That pink thing doesn't have a simple name like you, isn't that right Shutterfly?" He frowned, pouting at Fluttershy. Discord lifted into the air and twisted around her as she poured cereal into a bowl. "Okay Fluttershy, what's up? You usually scold me when I don't remember my dear friends' names." He paused, narrowing his eyes. "Are you under a curse?" Fluttershy shook her head, taking the bowl to the table. "A hex?" She shook her head again, sitting down and dipping a spoon into the cereal. "Did your vocal cords fall out?" She frowned at him, lifting the spoon to her face. Discord shot his hand out and knocked the spoon out of her hoof, right before she put it in her mouth. "I just knocked the spoon from you!" He jeered. "What are you going to do about it? Scold me? Give me the Stare?" Fluttershy scowled at him, getting out of her chair. She leaned down to pick up the spoon, facing away from Discord. He squealed silently and promptly kicked Fluttershy in the tail, sending her sprawling across the floor. She picked herself up, tears springing from her eyes. The pegasus stared at the draconequus, lip quivering. Discord waggled a claw in front of her insolently, poking her on the nose. Fluttershy's eyes grew huge and watery as she gazed unhappily at the spot Discord had tapped her. The beast twisted into the air, giggling outrageously.
"Fluttershy cannot speak!" He wailed with glee, pulling loop-the-loops in the air and knocking over bowls. "And I can do as I wish! I can be absolutely awful to her and her pets, and she won't do more than pout." Fluttershy closed her eyes, covering her face with her hooves. Discord appeared next to her and slung an arm over her shoulder, adopting a look of concern. "Oh, don't be so glum Flutterbutter. Just tell me to stop and I'll do exactly that." He snapped his fingers, turning the couch to a pile of bubbles. Fluttershy pulled her face out of her hooves and glared at him, activating the Stare. Discord stared back at her, widening his eyes. They stood, eyes locked, for a moment, then Discord burst out laughing. Fluttershy's glare faltered as the draconequus flopped onto the floor, clutching his sides as tears sprung from the corners of his eyes. He struggled to his feet, leaning heavily on the pegasus as he rubbed his eyes.
"Oh, small silly Flutter. Don't you know the Stare doesn't work on me?" Discord gasped for breath, stepping away. He conjured up a blue bed with a snap of his fingers, falling onto it. The beast sighed, smiling hugely. "Won't this be an excellent day for chaos?" He drawled out the last word, a horrible smirk spreading across his face. Discord hopped out of the bed, clapping his hands and rubbing them together. "I'm going to have fun!" With that, a puff of smoke surrounded him and he disappeared away, his cackling laugh echoing throughout the house. Fluttershy blinked, folding back her ears. She bit her lip, looking wildly about.
This can't be good.
