	Angel Bunny sat in the dark, thinking about Discord. He wouldn't let that draconequus freak steal his favorite spot on the couch. That wasn't the only thing wrong with this. He made a mess of the cottage and Sweet Apple Acres. Sure he it back together but it isn't something that should go unnoticed or unpunished. He could fix this himself without the Princess or Fluttershy’s friends. 
“Angel?” Fluttershy poked her head into the room. “Why are you sitting alone in the dark?”
Angel shooed her out and closed the door.
“Oh okay well I’ll leave you alone then.” Fluttershy called softly through the door.
“Fluttershy, you really shouldn't take orders from a bunny rabbit.” Discord hung from the ceiling eating another bowl of paper.
“Are those more of Twilight’s spells?”
“No just some old things, like the History of Equestria.”
“Oh okay but Angel needed some space, he wasn’t being bossy.”
“Whatever you say Fluttershy dear.” 
Angel listened to all of this through the door. How dare he try to turn Fluttershy against me! I’ll show him. He will be incapable of performing any of his shenanigans. Tonight I’ll sneak into his room, I’ll find something in there to bring him down.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After showing Princess Celestia he was reformed and a ready to use his magic for good and friendship, blah blah blah, she asked him if he wanted to stay in the castle. He replied that if it was okay with Fluttershy he wanted to stay at her cottage with her. Of course she said yes! She’s a good pony, very giving. Twilight Sparkle helped put in an extra room. It was quite cozy, a little dull at times, but cozy.
Discord made sure he was everypony in the cottage was asleep and then locked the door to his room. He slipped his hand under the mattress and felt around until he grasped what he was looking for and pulled it out. It was an old brown teddy. He’d had it since he was little and the fur was pale and dusty, the button eyes lost their shiny luster. The ear looked like it had been chewed and bitten off. The nose sowed in with purple string. Stuffing leaked through little holes all throughout his body.
“Hello Titus.”
Cuddling Titus, Discord curled up and fell asleep. Angel, outfitted in black, hid beneath the window. He waited until he heard light snoring and then back flipped into the room. He crept up along the side of the bed and looked up. It took immense control to not roll on the floor laughing. To Angel, the sight of the master of chaos sleeping soundly with an old teddy bear was almost too much. He hadn’t expected it to be this easy. He slowly reached up and gave a little tug. He caught the Titus and made for the window. The window slammed shut and a hand lifted Angel up and spun him around. He was eye to eye with Discord.
“What do you think you’re doing?” Discord questioned while he took Titus from Angel.
Angel kicked and struggled but only succeeded in exhausting himself. He looked back at Discord putting on his sweetest, most desperate face.
“If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you were trying to steal Titus from me.”
Then Angel was alone except a sound, almost like a large group marching. Angel saw were the sound was coming from now. He was surrounded by carrots all with Discord’s face imposed on them.
“Do you think that was a good idea?” said the carrots in sync.
Screaming, Angel hid his face in his paws hoping that it would all go away.  The carrots moved in closer and closer and the melted flooding the room with carrot juice. Angel tried to stay afloat, treading carrot juice. Angel tried yelling out again got hit with a wave. Choking and sputtering he reached for the bed and pulled himself up. Fluttershy, awakened by the scream, downstairs and into the room. Immediately, the chaos was gone and Discord sat on his bed with the teddy bear behind his back.
“What’s going on? Angel, what are you doing in here?” Fluttershy put her hoof around him. She turned to Discord, “why is Angel shaking?”
“Well, you see I was here, sleeping soundly, when this little thing, uhm, attacked me!”
Angel squirmed out of Fluttershy’s embraced and reenacted the scene but leaving out his sneaking and stealing.
“That doesn’t explain why you’re in here though, Angel.”
Angel thumped his foot on the ground and tried to think of a story quickly. 
“Okay Okay, that’s enough.” Discord sighed and brought Titus out from behind his back. “Angel was trying to steal Titus and I scared him. The real question is why was he trying to steal Titus.”
“Is that true, Angel?”
Angel nodded his head shamefully.
“Why?”
Angel showed her that the damage wasn’t a thing that should be ignored.
“Angel Bunny, Discord is reformed. He’s forgiven. Now I want both of you to apologize for this misunderstanding and forgive each other.”
Angel squeaked his apology.
“I’m sorry too, I guess, ” muttered Discord. 
“Great.” Fluttershy beamed, “now since we are up, who wants a late night snack.”
Angel jumped up and led the way to the kitchen. Fluttershy was about to follow him when Discord stopped her.
“You aren’t going to tell anyone about Titus, right?” 
“Of course not. Maybe I can get to know him better in the morning too.”
“Maybe, Fluttershy dear, maybe.”
She headed to the kitchen and Discord turned around and tucked Titus into the bed. Then with a  snap of his fingers the pictures on the wall started rocking. Smiling, he walked out of the room turning out the lights as he went. A few moments later, the door creaked open. Angel was creeping his way into the room.
“Angel, where’d you go?” Fluttershy asked from the kitchen.
Angel turned to look at the teddy bear before exiting the room.
