Fluttershy and Discord Take Over Equestria

"Fluttershy, I'm so bored," Discord whined, hanging upside down from Fluttershy's ceiling with a teacup in hand. "Nopony ever lets me do anything fun!"

"Um, well, there was something I was thinking we might do together?" Fluttershy murmured. "Only if you'd like to, of course."

Discord righted himself and poofed into a chair. "You have an idea? Let me guess, figure skating!" Shining, spangly skates appeared in his paw, as a skater's outfit materialized on his body.

"Oh, no, no, that, I mean, we could fall in the ice cold water and drown, or disturb the little fishies sleeping under the ice, and it's so cold. No, no, I wouldn't want to do that."

"Hmm. Perhaps... bowling?" Now he was holding a bright yellow bowling ball with butterfly-shaped holes. 

"Oh, bowling just seems so violent. I always feel so sorry for the poor pins," Fluttershy said.

"Well, what did you have in mind then, my dear?"

"Well..." She ducked her head, shyly, her face almost disappearing under her mass of mane. "I was thinking... only if it's not too much trouble... it might be a little bit fun to take over Equestria?"





Cut to Fluttershy standing on Princess Celestia's balcony, an alicorn's lengthy horn on her forehead and her long pink mane sparkling as it flows in the breeze. Directly behind her is Discord, petting a purple cat with darker purple and pink markings on her tail and the top of her head, and next to Fluttershy is a large bird cage, containing a white bird with magnificent pastel rainbow plumage on its head, and a dark blue bird with a pale blue headcrest. The birds are tweeting at her aggressively, but Fluttershy ignores them.

"Well, go on," Discord says. "You're the ruler of Equestria now. Give them a speech!"

"Oh, no," Fluttershy whimpers. "I didn't know taking over Equestria meant I had to give speeches!"





A disgruntled Celestia is reading a letter.

Dear Princess Celestia, Today I learned that with great power comes great responsibility. Just because I can tell Discord to take over Equestria for me doesn't mean I actually want to do the work of ruling. Standing up in public in front of all those ponies... oh, that felt terrible. That's why I have had Discord turn you back into ponies and gave you Equestria back. But just remember that if the royal grants for Ponyville animal care get cut again... I'm still Discord's best friend. Sincerely, Fluttershy.
