The sun was shining bright and Eris was lounging on her favorite spot in the quaint cottage located at the edge of Ponyville. The couch in somepony's home. Like always she ended up having to argue with the owner's rabbit "Lilitha." over that very same spot. Even when majority of her long lengthy body had taken up the whole couch. The doubled bow bunny hopped up to an open corner and thumped it's tiny rabbit paws along Eris's cheek. The cute gesture not fooling or affecting Eris as she just frowned. A floating paw tapped Lilitha on her shoulder making her turn around to see who it was only for Eris's tail to lightly push the bunny off the corner of the couch. Letting her fall onto the floor. Like every one of their little territorial fights Eris ended up winning through power and size alone. Her smile appearing once more curling along her cheeks as she sighed out. Content with her current position.

"Ahhh! Nothing like a relaxing lazy morn-" Eris began before being cut off by another voice.

"Eris?" Called out a timid pony's voice. It was the owner of the house itself. Lilitha's master and dear friend of Eris.

"What do you want, Butterscotch?" Eris called out giving him a bit of sass as she wouldn't be able to sleep in with Butterscotch bothering her. Eris had been living with the timid little stallion. Using his cottage as a home and a sort of prison. Butterscotch had been trusted in reforming Eris from her once stubborn claim to changing everything to what she wanted. To change the land into a sky filled with fish and where drinking from a glass resorted in you drinking the cup itself and not the contents inside. A world of pure chaos. Though how could she help it. It was how she was created. Living in pain and loneliness for so very long.

"Oh...Sorry. It's just that Breakfast is ready and I didn't know you were still sleeping." Said the timid yellow colt who popped his head into the living room from the kitchen. One hoof held up along the entrance as he peered from his position over at Eris. With a flash of light Eris was suddenly behind Butterscotch. Taking the yellow pony up by his neck. Eris gave him a teasing pat on his head with a wide smile. Her body acting solely on the cravings in her belly.

"Well why didn't you say so?" Eris asked the pony in her arms. Snatching up Butterscotch quickly before he could even fight back against her in a fluster of legs to be set free. Sarcasm filling her lungs as she just laughed at the colt. Butterscotch just seemed to giggle into her arms. Finding her energetic wake-call to be something pleasant. He used to have breakfast alone. While not counting his animal companions in which was under his care, Eris was the only other being there to eat with him at his table. With another pop of wacky magic Eris was now in her seat curling her tail along the base of her chair. Rubbing her paw and claw together in delight. "What's on the menu today?" Eris said looking down into her plate and seeing her favorite morning treat laying along a porcelain plate.

"Chocolate chip cinnamon pancakes, extra chocolate, with a side of orange juice, hold the pulp of course. Only the best for my girl." Butterscotch mentioned hovering up behind with a flap of his wings behind Eris. He himself couldn't just flash magically in and out of place by a whim like she could. Eris blushed finding that her two limbs crossed her chest finding the sweet moment flood her heart. He had remembered how she liked her breakfast. Treating her like a normal pony, or dragon-goat-eagle-lion-serpent "thing". For once a pony was just happy to be around Eris. Not in all of her centuries of living has she been able to do this with anypony else. It was the main reason as to why she had stopped her chaotic streak. Learning how to be "reformed". To use her powers for boring "good" deeds. All because Butterscotch was her very first friend. Eris sat properly along the table. Taking hold of the fork placed on her side and began digging into her yummy looking breakfast. As her mouth chewed away she could feel something bubble up in her mind. Thoughts filled her head to make the plates and utensils dance around. For the ketchup bottle to squirt out like a whale's blowhole. To make their breakfast into a fun carnival of loose china running away with their food. It would have made a very entertaining morning for Eris. Though she could feel a tap in the back of her head. A faint warning that lately had been bothering Eris every time she just wanted to have some fun. The small muted voice had no say in Eris's thoughts. But the constant unending tapping never ceased in it's mental clear ramblings at her brain. Not until her thought passed on without her lifting a claw or paw to cast her wish. Eris began to frown thinking about ways to get this new mental ringing out of her head. The mixture of confused feelings for Butterscotch and that annoying reminder that she had to "behave" in order to show how reformed she was was beginning to really get to her. Eris growled at her conflicting thoughts wishing it would stop. Her normal thoughts louder and now more annoying than ever since it felt like she was whining to herself mentally for not doing anything fun anymore. Eris looked down at her plate tapping her fork along the barely eaten oddly looking pancake. Butterscotch noticed how frustrated his guest was and froze in his seat. Swallowing his last nibble of hay and daisy salad breakfast before addressing the problem.

"Is everything okay Eris?" Butterscotch asked as he laid his fore hooves along the edge of the table. Preparing himself to stand up and switch out the juice for chocolate milk. Expecting Eris to complain about something. Through his own generous kindness he didn't mind at all. After all Eris was only a temporary tenant. It was his job to see that Eris was reformed. The best way he could do that, which was the only way he knew how to do such a thing to someone as powerful as Eris, was to smother her in the real kindness of a friend.

"Oh! Uh...yes. Not one problem!" Eris said filling her mouth with another piece of her pancake. Her body flashing in a display of light as she now had a sweater on with a french beret. Taking on the form of a French pony critic. Eris's long slender form had taken the shape of a normal looking pony with horns poking through her beret. She raised a hoof up to her snout and kissed the air with a faint wave of her leg. "Mmmmawwwh! Your cooking, Butterscotch is just eh, how you say? 'Tres bon!'." Eris said flashing back into her normal long slender form with a slight giggle. Her random moment meant to deter Butterscotch from further troubling himself for her.

"Oh. Okay." Butterscotch replied still not believing that random moment of an excuse. No way was he about to pardon her with that act alone. He could see that his dear friend was having trouble with something. Which then, a simple idea came across his head about the promise she had made one day with him. Hoping to find a way to cheer her up he mentioned his idea.

"So Eris. About the chores today?" Butterscotch started. Taking a sip of his drink. Waiting to see if he had grabbed her full attention.

"What about it?" Eris said huffing out feeling so very bored at this point and annoyed. The ringing in her head intensifying as she knew that she should be watching how she spoke to others more. Especially to her host Butterscotch. Obviously Eris knew Butterscotch had a schedule in feeding his animal friends twice a day. Taking fresh veggies and other things to make sure them and their families ate well. It was just Butterscotch's nature.

"You promised to help me today with the animals. Feeding the birds. The bunnies. The chickens and- Butterscotch held his chin as he began naming out each animal he cared for. Which made Eris have to stop the colt from going too far. Cutting him off before he continued on with his long list of wild animals.

"Yeah. I'll help you feed them." Eris said waving a claw into the air as if it wasn't a big deal. Truth be told she had promised him that as a way to just spend more time with the stallion. Also to make Butterscotch forget that one day when she had changed colors on every nearby creature. While harmless it brought the animals into a frenzy. Being quite the crowd of snitches as soon as she had done her little prank. The animals had reported the incident to Butterscotch as quickly as possible.

"Yeah. I think it's best. My friends don't seem to like you touching them. Again." Butterscotch added. "Or looking at them. Or mentioning their name. You know it might be better if we do this another-."

"Oh no! I'll show them I'm reformed! Just you wait. I'm practically a changed Eris! So let's not cancel this date please? All under their pretenses that I 'may' or 'may not' change them into a monstrous beaver or-"

"Date?" Butterscotch briefly. While he waited for Eris's outraged ranting to come to an end. Eris held herself up in a hover feeling a bit of her chaotic mannerisms come to surface. Her paw along her chest as her claw was along her hips. She looked down at herself and rethought about the way she was going on about this.

"Fate! Dear Butterscotch! FATE!" Eris quickly corrected herself flashing to Butterscotch's side and taking his neck into a close embrace. Eris waved her paw into the air as if sharing a grand idea with Butterscotch. "It's inevitable! I'm bound to change sooner or later. I mean even you have seen my progress, right? My exact fate to be-" Another flash popped along Eris's body and she suddenly had a sunhat on her head. Her horns popping right out of them as her claw and paw were filled with a teacup and saucer. Eris finishing her statement in a snooty tone. "-rrrrreformed." She said calmly sipping on the conjured tea that popped into existence to help further her mask of a lie. Her tongue even rolling her R's to make her seem even more sophisticated. Butterscotch backed away into his seat. Looking to continue eating breakfast without anymore questions. He respected her, but even with all the kindness in the world he had no idea how to explain Eris's behavior. Eris was swirling her long slender form along the air doing some strange painting in on the wall. Featuring Eris shaking Lilitha's paw. Eris smiled wide and presented her masterpiece that was done within a few swipes of her paintbrush. Butterscotch finally glancing away letting Eris be Eris. Eris finally could relax her lips from their tense mask of shame she had to put up. Even her painted self flicked Lilitha's painted form away from her before flashing away into nothing. Eris sighing out silently and returned to her seat with another pop of magic. Taking her orange juice into her lips and drinking it quickly. The chaotic goddess stuck her claw into her last set of pancakes and stuffed her mouth quickly as an excuse to leave the table before she did anything else that would ridicule her or reveal her growing feelings for her host. Eris popping out of the room leaving Butterscotch alone. The blonde pony felt a strand of his pink mane fall along his face as his head was held down low. Worried about Eris. His left hoof coming up to brush it back into place before placing that though aside for later. Taking his time to finish his breakfast and the dishes to allow Eris to release some pent out energy before the chores began.

Meanwhile Eris was pacing back and forth in the living room her claw along her chin as her two hind legs moved about. "Ugh! This is going about terribly! How am I suppose to tell him?! 'Oh Buttscotch please accept my love for you?' Bah! That is not how I do things! What would he even think?" Eris thought about different ways of making this work. Her mind reeling out some ideas. Catching her mind on one particular idea. She saw a thought cloud come into view as the dragon like being cuddled along a bound Butterscotch who was terrified for his life. Tied with rope and gagged with a white cloth. The imaginary Eris licked her captive's cheek and then suddenly Eris could feel that very same tapping banging against her head like a metal bat along a hollow pipe. "Grrrr!" Eris growled at the constant reminder. The knocking bursting her bubble to vanish from sight. Eris looked down and caught the small bunny looking up at her tapping it's foot in a huff. Suddenly Lilitha had something on Eris. Overhearing the worried girl talk about her feelings.

"You wouldn't." Eris told the rabbit as Lilitha grinned. Rushing for the kitchen where the clutter of dishes were being done by the very same colt they both were thinking about. Eris was quicker and still way stronger than the bunny. With a snap of her claws Lilitha was in Eris's hands. "You be a good bunny and-YOOOW!" Lilitha bit down on that claw and ran into the kitchen. Leaving Eris wagging her claw in pain poofing into the kitchen her body taking the shade of a burning red as she huffed out whisps of steam from her nose at the rabbit. Lilitha already banging her tiny forepaws into Butterscotch's lower legs as he was propped over the kitchen sink. His hooves busy running a sponge over a plate.

"Oh. Hello Lilitha! I'm sorry. I know you're hungry. Let daddy finish the dishes and then I'll feed you." Butterscotch said. Eris looming over the smaller bunny as Lilitha looked up at the threat above her finally giving Butterscotch a rough kick with her hind leg. "Hey!" Butterscotch said looking down at Lilitha. "Alright. I'll feed you now." His gaze looking behind him catching an angelic sight of Eris. Literally having a glowing halo and light shining from her head as she smiled innocently. Her upper body hovering over Lilitha and so very close to Butterscotch's legs.

"What are you up too?" Butterscotch asked as he blinked a couple of times. Wondering what she was up to.

"Oh nothing! Just playing a bit of a game with Lilitha. Isn't that right, Snookums!" Eris said snatching the bunny up into her arms and giving her an awfully rough petting with her other limb. Eris holding her wide smile and a small shine appeared on her large fang that stood out. Butterscotch's mind just did not even question how Eris even does these things knowing that Eris will be Eris. He turned around to continue his work. With his sight off Eris she narrowed her eyes at the bunny in her arms and she became that same shade of red with her two horns curling inwards silently telling the bunny of what evil she was thinking about to punish her.

"Since you're playing with Lilitha. Would you be ever so kind to feed her too,please? My hooves are full. If that's okay, that is?" Butterscotch said in almost a complete hushed tone.

"Suuuurrrre. I'll feed her alright!" Eris said with an evil grin. Lilitha attempting to bite on her claw once more only to meet with a cork to cap her large teeth. Eris bringing the poor bunny close to her face as Eris poked Lilitha's nose in a taunt. Eris's snake tongue slipping out of her toothy grin taunting her prey even more. With another faint flash of her magic the pair was gone.

"Make sure to keep her greens dry. She likes them crunchy and- Oh....you're gone." Butterscotch added looking behind him only to notice a second later they were gone. Eris poofs up into the small attic in the cottage where it was nice and dark. The white bunny trapped within her grasp only for a cage to flash into place around the poor bunny. Another flash and the cork stopping her large teeth from clamping back down into pace was gone as well. Eris smiled wide and rattled the conjured cage with a toothy grin follow after. Lilitha shaking her confines trying to get free, but to no avail.

"See ya, 'Snookums.'!" Eris said with a salute and poof she was gone. With the same fashion of magic that she usually used. Back in the kitchen with two baskets of veggies, a couple of fresh fish, and a small bag of bird feed. "Ready to go!" Eris said feeling her hooves touch the ground. Taking the shape of a pony this time. Ready to spend some time with her lovable host.

"Alright, Eris. I'm done. Let's go and...Oh! You changed forms again?" Butterscotch asked looking at the same pony version of Eris she had used previously. Complete with beret and sweater too. Her flank featuring a very strange cutie mark. And yet. It suited her. Pink clouds that were raining something that looked like muddy water or chocolate. Despite what Butterscotch wanted to say he was finding this pony version of his friend rather cute. From her multi-colored coat and yellow-red hybrid eyes she was quite the beauty.

"Yeah. I think it's best if I do things your way. Also I won't upset the animals this time in this body." Eris explained having a plan as always. Showing just how devious and cunning she was in her own little ways. Eris brought a hoof up to her chest and sighed out. Steadying her mind for the small amount of work just used as an excuse to spend time with the stallion she cared for. "What's first?"

"Did you feed Lilitha?" Butterscotch added placing a saddlebag over his back and storing the food inside of it. One side fish the other the bird feed while he bit down on the basket of veggies.

"Oh yeah! She's fine! Now, don't we have hungry critters to feed?"

"Oh right! I've kept them waiting too long. They'll be awfully cranky if I don't feed them soon." Butterscotch mentioned making his way out to the backdoor of his wide open field of a yard. Eris choosing to following after Butterscotch with her new form using her odd pair of wings to lift herself off of the ground floating out the same door. Seeing Butterscotch already being crowded by at least a dozen tiny critters. Huddling up around him by his legs in waiting.

"Alright. Here you go." Butterscotch said with a rather small smile. His muzzle unclipping one side of his saddlebag. Reaching inside with one foreleg and brushing out a splash of corn kernels and acorns. Birds huddling around the corn pecking at the loose food. As squirrels and other rodents took pieces of the acorns and scurried off into the nearby trees. "You be nice now and share." Butterscotch told the small animals who rushed to grab their fill. Butterscotch smiled wider and looked back at his guest. He tilted his head to the open saddlebag wanting Eris to give it a try. What he had just given would definitely not be enough for every animal friend present. Eris shyly scooted up and eased her hoof into the bag. Flinching at the touch of the dry food as if the bag held something that would bite her specifically. The kind gesture feeling very strange to her as she brought her hoof out and looked down into her hoof. Staring at the feed mix within her grasp. She was frowning at the unfamiliar feelings inside of her. It was all alien to her as she dropped it to the ground. Dusting her hooves free of the small mess that was in her hooves while lacking the grace Butterscotch had shown in his expert motion of waving his hoof over the ground to spread the food around. Butterscotch chuckled a bit at how Eris looked while attempting it for the first time. It must have been the first time ever when she offered something like this to an animal friend.

"What?" Eris huffed out. Not use to being the center of a joke.

"Oh nothing. You were quite cute feeding the critters." Butterscotch added. Forcing Eris's cheeks to glow a faint red. Eris bit the side of her lip. Again another feeling that felt odd to her as Butterscotch called her cute. Eris in her shyness felt like she should somehow make herself seem fun and exciting.

"Oh. Butterscotccch!" Eris began in a singsong tone. Grabbing the blonde pony's attention as he separated a couple of animals apart that were fighting over some food. "Now you wouldn't mind if I did things my way, now would you?" Eris aid with a sly grin. Testing her bounds as Butterscotch raised his brow at her. Having to look away and watch Eris. Taking his silence as a yes. Eris hovered into the air and clapped her hooves together. Suddenly the crowd grew in size. More friends were added to the party as more animals were joined in with the small critters. Except these new guests were hissing, growling, and snarling at their natural prey within their sights. Each and every animal panicked for their little lives. As their predators chased after each one. Jaws and claws swiping away trying to get their own fill of their "new friends". Butterscotch watched in horror as his friends all ran scared for their lives.

"Oh no! Oh no no no! NO!" Butterscotch yelled out hurrying after several snakes and slamming their open jaws shut before a bunny got eaten. Kicking a nearby wolf away from a poor chipmunk flying as fast as he could trying to contain the mess.

"See. I knew you'd love a good party. Nothing better for a party than to invite more friends over."

"Eris!" Butterscotch yelled out finding himself stuck within the jaws of a crocodile holding both ends of the massive beast's jaws with his yellow limbs.

"Bad idea?"

"Take them away!"

"Oh! Excuse me. So we get to play with your friends and not mine?"

"Just TAKE THEM AWAY!!!" Butterscotch screamed out for his life feeling his body bend under the strong maw of the predator he had to subdue. Eris huffed out bumping her hooves together and her very hungry predatory friends left the scene with a slight flash. Poofing back into the nearby forest. Just moments before several of the yellow stallion's friends found the inside of another creature's belly. Butterscotch flopped to the ground with a slight thud. Groaning with a slight pant in his chest from fighting away the predators from his friends.

"Was the party too hardy?" Eris said with a grin. Her eyes narrowing in worry as she watched her host get up onto his legs. Shaking his head from the adrenaline filled experience. Butterscotch's friends had left from sight. Hiding for their own safety. The gentle caretaker could see how the leaves from the trees rustled with birds and rodents shaking in fear. Butterscotch sighed leaving the basket of veggies down on the ground. Free for the bunnies and deer who didn't get to eat as every animal was frightened away from the chaotic scene.

"I guess. We're done for the chores right now Eris." Butterscotch added as he had much less to feed now thanks to Eris's intervention. Flapping her wings she took to float into the air in a steady hover.

"Already? See, easy! In record time too!" Eris gloated brushing her hoof along her chest in proud showmanship.

"Just...Um. I'll meet you inside, Eris." Butterscotch added. Holding back how upset he actually was at his guest from pretty much making his morning worse. He would have to calm down the animal families once they all decided to come out. Even have to give them something extra next feeding time to help ease their stress. Butterscotch left Eris's side to swoop under the tiny bridge to offer her ferrets some fish. He had to finish a couple more things before returning inside. While Eris did cut his chores in a good amount she had only made his next set of duties much harder to deal with.

"Oh. Right." Eris said with a frown. Poofing away from the spot and ending up inside of the house on the couch. Finding that their date ended too abruptly, to be anything but a nuisance for her beloved Butterscotch. Eris fiddling with her hooves along her chest a she laid sprawled along her most comforting spot. What was she to do? How would she end up fixing this? Could she even fix it? Now that she was asking herself what she did wrong. She realized bringing her friends from the Everfree Forest for a visit must have been a really big mistake since most of Butterscotch's were much smaller than the animals she had befriended in her spare time. When she wasn't around Butterscotch she was out in the forest casting some magic with no restraint. It was a good outlet and she happened to make some buddies from her free time. This way she could control her urges in Butterscotch's house from rotating his home in a constant spin that would make anypony sick to their stomach. Or even twisting his animal friends into some conjoined image of nature. She was just trying to be herself. To impress the one she loved so much with a trick or two. Eris didn't know what to do. Maybe a little talk would be in order to help relieve her stress. Only one other creature in the house was worth talking to and that was her nemesis. Lilitha. Eris stuck out her tongue in disgust at the thought. The sour idea making her cringe in place. Though it could help ease her troubles. She flashed away in another second and was now in the dusty old attic of the cottage.

"Alright. Rabbit. Tell me....gasp!" Eris turned to the cage she had conjured for Lilitha only to see it's contents empty. The door was wide open and a strange long beaked bird was stuck within it's locking mechanism. The poor thing was flapping for it's life with it's beak stuck in the cage's lock. With the cage flashing away into nothingness. Eris took hold of the bird that helped Lilitha escape and brought it's bent beak to her face.

"Where. Is. She?!" Eris growled as a shaking wing came up into the air pointing out of the window in it's reply. Eris's jaw dropped catching sight of a bouncing bunny trying to tell Butterscotch something. "GASSSPPP!" Eris poofed away immediately to intercept the bunny's message. Popping right next to the rabbit and snatching her up.

"Eris what? HEY! Eris!" Butterscotch said bringing a hoof up to his chin before watching as Eris came out of nowhere grabbing his pet bunny by it's head and what looked to be Eris suffocating the poor creature.

"Oh she meant nothing! It's lies! LIES, I tell you!" Eris began trying to come up with an excuse. Her mind racing with thoughts of how she might do this. Images of binding Butterscotch with rope and gagging him still coming into her mind as that constant knocking became as loud as ever. As if a giant was now pounding on a door trying to send a message. "Crumpet?" Eris began now just trying to change the subject without causing a migraine to her poor head. Holding up a strange round pastry that actually left Butterscotch confused as ever.

"Put her down!" The stallion demanded pointing at the ground with his hoof. "That is no way to treat a friend!" Butterscotch glared at Eris watching her slowly place the bunny down. Letting her free to tell Butterscotch her message. With Eris clenching her hands watching in irritation. For some reason Lilitha's bows were not placed along her ears anymore. The pet bunny hopped to Butterscotch's side and pointed at a couple of red strands on the ground. It was Lilitha's bows placed along the ground to make a shape. The artistic rabbit took each long ribbon and made hearts interjecting with one another. Her tiny paw pointing away as she tugged on Butterscotch's coat.

"What is it Lilitha? You can tell me." He said giving a quick glare at Eris. Who was now twiddling her thumbs. As angry as she had made Butterscotch now. She didn't want to upset him anymore. Knowing when she was getting "the stare" from her host. Her hands tied knowing that she was on her last straw. Lilitha pointed at Eris than to the pair of ribbon hearts and than finally up to Butterscotch. Repeating the same motion with growing intensity. Butterscotch blinked trying to make sense of what his pet wanted.

"Eris....hearts....me? What could that mean?" Butterscotch said. Eris blushing quite hard now. So eager to just snap her fingers and watch those ribbons burn in smoke. Or to summon a giant anaconda for Lilitha to "play" with. Eris giving out an excuse to further cloud Butterscotch from the truth.

"Truth be told. I never did feed Lilitha." Eris began apologizing for letting his pet starve pass breakfast. She took this silence and snatched the white rabbit into her hooves and left with a few quick words as another excuse.

"So I'm gonna do it now, BYE!"

"Eris!" Butterscotch tried stopping her, but was too late. Eris had just vanished. Butterscotch growled and screamed out in frustration. Well to most it would probably be a small cat like mew and a very high pitched sigh. Eris flashing herself and Lilitha by the window sill to watch Butterscotch grit his teeth and inhale heavily. Watching as he seemed to scream, yet the shout was very faint as he exhaled out in his stressful state. Eris looked down at the bunny in her arms. Letting the cute thing go now as it held a smug look in the glow of her victory. Lilitha's job was done. The hungry bunny went off to find something to munch on without Eris's help. Eris didn't feel like arguing with Lilitha. The truth was out. A few seconds more and the loved stallion turned to the shaped red ribbons and craned his neck up higher. And higher. The thought just hitting him as his mind deciphered the message. His head turned to his home. Knowing where Eris was now residing. Catching sight of Eris sitting by the window watching him now. His lips held wide open in surprise. Eris greeting that shocked expression with a wave of her hoof and a wide smile. She felt like she could die right now. Every ounce of her being telling her to run. Run far and fast and to stay hidden until another 1,000 years passed by. Eris watched nervously as Butterscotch made his way inside. Each second feeling like an eternity of agony. As burning sparks of curiosity beat within her heart. How she wished she could use magic to just stop this heartache flooding her chest. The door opened and the two pairs of eyes met. Eris sitting on the couch and Butterscotch stood there along the open doorway. Eris held her forelegs between her hindlegs in a cute display. Awaiting his answer. His reply or some type of reaction. Yet Butterscotch stood there for a good moment. No words leaving his lips as Eris was left to think about how she might respond. What she could say to make this situation any better. If that even was an option at this point.

"You love me?" Butterscotch asked. Sincerely trying to uncover the truth without any pain coming to one another.

"Yes. I do." She sighed out avoiding his gaze. Her red pupils looking down to the floor unable to cover up this facade any longer. Butterscotch didn't know what to do next. His eyes looking around the room for answers. As if it would just pop out and explain the most obvious choice. His stunned body unsure of how to react. Other than to join Eris along the couch and hold her in a hug. He could now see why she was so distraught this whole morning. Through breakfast, the chores, and right now. Eris's heart fluttered about within her chest. Almost melting in Butterscotch's touch. This time it was caring. Loving. Not like those friendship moments she had with him. The feeling was more intense. Deeper. Deep from his own heart he was taking hold of her. By his own choice and caring he was reflecting as much love as he could back to the hidden secret revealed to him. They seemed to stay like that for moments beyond time. The sweet sensation leaving all too soon as Butterscotch parted looking into her eyes and giving her forehead a kiss. Leaving the couch to tend to others things. This left the chaotic being with a great pounding in her heart and lungs. Something that could easily drown out that annoying "reformed" reminder of hers that always bothered her. Eris touched her forehead where the precious stallion kissed her and sighed out. More confused than ever. Was this his reply? His only way of reacting to her confession? It came out in such an inappropriate way. Nonetheless she got what she hoped for. It wasn't denial and their relationship continued. As his name had replied he was all too sweet to her. Eris could feel her mind stuck on the blonde pony. Falling in love with him all over again.

Author's Note

For every character I do in my stories. I make it a point to look back on previous episodes on how the character was portrayed in the series. For Eris(Discord) I had to literally look back on all his/her (WHATEVER!) scenes to make sure I hit the 'bullseye' in the 'right way.' This being said my work usually takes more time with more complex a character is the more research is needed to draw that character into my writing. Special thanks to DJ-Col7 for giving me this idea. Inspiring me to write something that he so craved. So here's to you Col7. Hope It ends your craving.
