Totally Not Discord... Just a Discord Lookalike

Author's Note:

This chapter was originally gonna be it's own one-shot, focused on Discord and Fluttershy. In the story, Discord is badly disguised as "Iscorda", but somehow manages to still convince ponies that he's not Discord.

(Though Fluttershy knows it's him.)


Original story description:

Sometimes, harnessing the ignorance of the populace is the key to being a top-tier stealth-mode ninja-guy. So naturally, Discord does exactly that.
(BTW, that's obviously not Discord watching you right now...)

Fluttershy strolled along the sunny path, enjoying the sights surrounding her. All around, birds were chirping, and the leaves rustled gently with the wind. A small figure lurked nearby, eerily shadowing the barriers between thoughts and reality.

A sudden rush of wind blew several leaves past the mare, who glanced upwards to find her longtime friend, Rainbow Dash.

"Hey, Flutters, 'sup?" Rainbow asked cheerfully as she landed.

With how nice the day had been so far, Fluttershy couldn't do anything more than smile. "Oh, nothing... I'm just enjoying the day..."

Suddenly, Rainbow Dash cocked her head to the side as she noticed a very familiar face.

"Discord?"

Discord chuckled, though it came out much more like a gust of wind then a chuckle. "Me? Discord? Nonsense. I am simply a Discord lookalike.

Rolling her eyes, Rainbow replied sarcastically, "Yeeeeeaaaahhhh... and these trees are totally fake."

Fluttershy waved her friend to the side. "Now then, let's all be nice to Iscorda, please."

Rainbow Dash warily eyed Discord as she flew off. In the distance, she shouted back, "WELL DON'T BLAME ME IF SOMETHING HAPPENS!"

Sighing, Fluttershy continued on her walk. It was too nice a day to argue, and Discord couldn't help but agree.

As the two made their way out of the forest, they noticed the strange, yet inviting smell that wafted through the air.

Chuckling, Discord turned to Fluttershy. "Hey, we should see how Pinkie reacts to this..."

Fluttershy's smile grew wider. "Yes, definitely. It's been such a long time since I've played a prank on somepony..."

Discord's grin disappeared. "I don't believe that you've ever played a prank before."

Fluttershy raised an eyebrow in response. "That one time during Nightmare Night? Remember?"

"OOoooohhhhh... yeah. That one."

Fluttershy nodded, and led the way towards Sugarcube Corner. Along the way, though they took the emptiest path, they got the occasional half-glare, especially directed at Discord. (Or Iscorda, if you'd like to go with the joke.)

Finally, they arrived at the bakery. With it being high noon, all sorts of smells spewed from every crevice, absolutely filling the entire town with the delightful scents of pastries.

I'm not continuing this particular story, so feel free to imagine what's next.
