Discord awoke on one of the cotton candy clouds, floating above the wooden floor of Fluttershy's Cottage. He sat up, yawned, and stretched tiredly. Looking around, Discord saw all the animals Fluttershy was caring for sleeping in their little cages and habitats. He could hear little noises like snoring with the rare cute sneezes. The sunrise filtered through the one window in the living room, warming the room just a touch.

Suddenly, the integrity of the cotton candy cloud was weakening underneath Discord. He was unaware until he fell through and fell to the floor with a thud. "Ow..." Discord looked up through the hole in the pink cloud above him, "What in the name of Equestria? My patented cotton candy clouds have never made me fall!" he teleported himself upwards and stuck his claw into the sugar fluff, "Someone decided to have a little snack! And this early in the morning too!" Discord dug around until he pulled a little bunny out by his big toe, it was Angel. "I should have known it was you, Devil!" Discord said smugly. "Have you no manners? Fluttershy said you couldn't eat sweets this early!"

Angel crossed his arms, far from amused.

"Look I know you want these delicious cotton candy clouds," Discord told him, "But rules are rules!"

Angel rolled his eyes, as if to say: "Since when does the God of Chaos fallow the rules?"

Discord crossed his arms in a matter-of-fact way, "Since I was reformed! I just gained back the trust of the princesses and the Elements after the Lord Tirek incident!"

"Seriously? You've gone soft!"

"I have not gone soft! The God of Chaos doesn't need to fallow such petty rules!"

"Prove it!"

Discord narrowed his eyes, "Oh I'll do more than prove it!" he snapped his fingers and made the room become littered with cotton candy clouds that were filled with ice cold chocolate milk, ready to rain. "Check, and mate!" he beamed with pride.

Angel once more rolled his eyes, "Oh please! Is that all you can do? Sprout stupid pink clouds what rains flavored milk? Pathetic!"

"Oh you want to see what I can do?" Discord asked, "Fine, you asked for it!" He snapped his fingers and in a flash, the room became upside down and the floors and the walls switched with the furniture and cages. The ceiling turned into soap and the floor turned into maple syrup, and outside it was raining cats and dogs. "How do you like that? Ha!"

"O-Oh my! Discord! Why are you upside down and w-what is on the floor?"

Discord stopped and looked up to see Fluttershy upside down, "Oh, good morning Fluttershy! I was just showing Angel I'm still the God of Chaos!"

"O-Oh...I see...But...th-this is my h-house...can you maybe...st-stop...? I-If you don't mind..." Fluttershy asked as politely as she could.

Discord knew he couldn't say no to Fluttershy, it was literally impossible. He snapped his fingers and everything reverted back to normal.

Fluttershy smiled, "Th-Thank you Discord...do you want to help me make breakfast...?"

Discord chuckled, "I'd be delighted, my dearest Fluttershy..."

In Fluttershy's kitchen, Fluttershy worked to make blueberry muffins while Discord merely watched and occasionally handed ingredients. But Discord was just there to watch Fluttershy's every little graceful move. Discord hadn't been this moved by a pony since Princess Celestia. But sadly, Celestia took his heart and broke it the day she and Luna turned him to stone.

After Discord was released, he tried to confess his feelings a final time. But Celestia outright rejected him, which caused him to attack the Elements and turn them against each other. It wasn't until Celestia ordered Fluttershy to help Discord reform, that he fell in a conflicting love between Celestia and Fluttershy. At this point, Discord was still conflicting between the two mares. Celestia was immortal like Discord. She was smart, funny, a prankster, and very pretty. But Fluttershy had been the kindest to him, though she wasn't immortal. She was also smart, but she had this hidden part of her. An aggressive side, which gives her a sense of courage and this flame in her soul that would only burn through when needed. Both mares had amazing qualities, but how can Discord choose? He couldn't, could he?

Nevertheless, Discord was entranced in every little movement made by the butter colored pony in front of him. He could feel his cheeks burn as he didn't think he could be in the presence of Fluttershy.

"...Now we're done," Fluttershy said, "I'm going to take a basket over to SugarCube corner, Pinkie Pie loves my muffins...well, so does Derpy..." she giggled.

Discord was leaned on the wooden counter, "Hm?"

Fluttershy giggled once more, "I'm going to take a muffin basket to Pinkie Pie and Derpy...there's a new tray out, so you help yourself..."

"O-Oh yes! Thank you Fluttershy!"

Fluttershy placed the basket of muffins on her back, "I'll be back Discord!" with a flap of her wings, she took off to the sky.

When Fluttershy was out of sight, Discord took a muffin from the tray on the counter and took a bite, "Mmmm! Positively marvelous as always Fluttershy!" he exclaimed, "You make muffins that tastes better then...Celestia's...cakes..."

Discord then was back into the internal conflict, "But Celestia has better ideas for pranks..." Discord muttered, "But Fluttershy is the Element of Kindness...and has opened her heart to me...believes in me...trusts me...is patient with me..." he ended up listing more of Fluttershy's perks than Celesta's perks. But Celestia still was on his mind. There was only one way to settle the conflict in Discord's head.

Discord snapped his fingers, and teleported to Twilight's kingdom.
