Fluttershy was on her way to Sugar Cube Corner to pick up some sweets for her and Discord to share at there next tea party which was today in the afternoon. "Hello Mrs. Cake!"
"Why hello Fluttershy, how may I help you?" replied Mrs. Cake as she waved to another customer.
"I'm here to pick up my order of chocolate chip cookies, please." answered Fluttershy politely, she looked around the shop, 'This place is usually packed by now, I'll ask Mrs. Cake what's going on.' thought Fluttershy to herself as she turned back to the counter.
"Here you are!" said Mrs. Cake cheerfully as she put the box of cookies onto the counter. "How come you need so many cookies?" asked Mrs. Cake.
"Oh, Discord and I are having tea this afternoon." answered Fluttershy, embarrassed. Her face started going red.
"There is nothing wrong with having tea with Discord, my dear." Mrs. Cake said as she gave Pinkie Pie another order. Fluttershy nodded in response and was about to leave when she remembered what she wanted to ask Mrs.Cake.
"Mrs. Cake?" asked Fluttershy.
"Yes?" answered Mrs. Cake, as she looked at Fluttershy with intent.
"How come there's not that many people in here today?" asked Fluttershy as she gestured with her hoof to all the empty seats. "It's usually full in here by now."
"A new bakery opened up across the street, dear." moped Mrs. Cake, she turned around and grabbed a pack of coupons. "Do you think you could hand these out?"
"Of course, anything to help a friend!" Fluttershy took the coupons and had handed out all of them by the time she got to her cottage. Fluttershy set up the tea table and started making the tea. She heard a knock on the door and went to see who it was.
"Hello my dear Fluttershy." said Discord, "How delightful to see you!" Fluttershy opened the door relieved to see it was only Discord. He was wearing a nice vest and cap.
"Welcome. I am so glad to see you could make it!" she let Discord through the door and closed it behind him. "How was your week?"
"It was great, I'm so sorry for betraying you though." Discord sighed as he sat down and placed his cap down beside him.
"Oh I forgive you, I could never stay mad at you." Fluttershy flew over to him and patted him on the shoulder sympathetically. Discord hugged her.
"Thanks for being a friend, I always needed one." said Discord, looking up at the ceiling he noticed a crack. "Fluttershy, is that crack supposed to be there?"
Fluttershy looked up, "Why no, I don't think it is. I'll go to the palace library thing to see if I can borrow a book about fixing ceilings." she said. "Would you like to come along?"
"Sure!" Discord grabbed his cap and walked out the door with Fluttershy at his side.
AT THE LIBRARY PALACE THINGY
"Twilight?" called Fluttershy, "Are you there?"
There was no answer.
"Lets go inside and see what's up." Discord followed Fluttershy into the Library Palace.
