Sensibility

Fluttershy hadn't screamed harder in her entire little life. After all, anypony would being shot by a surely fatal blast of magic, designed to seep into the victim and destroy them with a blaze of flame from within (well, that's a bit of a guess...). Such a meep moment, seeing only grayish-black as you're destroyed with... a surprisingly warm creature? But no-pony could have got here that fast! Even Dashie isn't THAT fast! Fluttershy thought.

"Um, Fluttershy?" she heard a voice supposedly attached to Twilight. "You can stop screaming now." Fluttershy felt herself blush.

It was then she realised the 'warm thingy' had come of her face, she realized the whole room had stopped, even Queen Chrysalis, who had a look of horror and shock on her face. Princess Celestia's pupils had almost disappeared and her mouth was wide as she was switching between staring at Chrysalis and whatever had protected her from the deadly blast.

"Twi," Rainbow whispered. "I don't think she's noticed yet..."

"Well, she's going to look down now Dashie! You IDIOT! Twilight screamed. Fluttershy looked down as she saw the only creature in Equestria who's capable of saving her that fast (WITHOUT creating a sonic rainboom) who was currently curled up, groaning, with a dark flashing bruise on their side. Discord.

Childishness

Childishness.

Most others think it's a bad thing, too destructive and not sensible, but I think their wrong. It's a art, a child's job, a important part of the world. After all, without that, what would my little sister, Edith, be like without the urge to play? Probably quite boring.

Right now Edith's trying to catch a pink butterfly with a turquoise body. It's quite a pretty little thing, and I decide to help her. I click my talons and the butterfly is teleported into her net.

Edith is very pretty. She has the average body, but beneath her pure white mane she has a deer horn and the royal unicorn horn. Other draconici have a deer and goat horn, but I have a awkward one. I have the royal horns but the unicorn horn looks a bit like its being reflected in water.

" *gasp* "

A joyful Edith run over and knocks me straight out of the tree I was in, giving me one of her killer hugs.

" Oh thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou! Your the best Dissy!"

I mutter a sigh, roll my eyes and tell her:

" Hey, what are big brothers for? Now could you be a good little girl and stop crushing me?"

" And could you two please be two good little foals and come inside for lunch or is that too much to ask?" I hear my dad ask.

" Maybe..."
