It'll be okay Flutteshy said. Well,I am okay. Chaos is okay. Why am I not okay Fluttershy? Why?

I'm just so worried about Discord. He's not usually like this. I have been constantly trying to take care of him and constantly trying to get through to him. I don't want him turned into stone again....I won't let one of my friends down! I just won't let this happen! Discord will be fixed! He will be normal. I know he can do it.

Oh, Fluttershy is too worried about me. I am fine I keep telling her, but she won't let it go! She thinks that I'm some mentally challenged, helpless, little thing that needs to be fixed! Well I'm not. I appreciate her being so worried but I can handle myself. I am perfecting fine. I don't need her help.

MAJOR FLUTTERCORD!!!! MAJOR O MAJOR FLUTTERCORD!!!! I'M SORRY I JUST LOVE FLUTTERCORD WAY TOO MUCH!!! DANG YOU DISNEYFANATIC!!

Just a normal day...

It was a bright sunny, summer day in the land of Equestria. A nice breeze flowing in the air. It wasn't too hot outside, nor too cold, it was one of the best days of the season. Everything in Equestria was running just fine, and the land had been at peace ever since Tirek was banished back into a cell never to be freed. Princess Celestia was sitting down, reading a good book, when she heard noise from the throne room of her castle.

"Luna!" Celestia shouted. "Could you keep it down? I'm trying to read my favorite book." Princess Luna trotted in from the opposite direction of the throne room, coming from her own bedroom.

"What ever are you talking about sister? I have been sleeping in my bed this whole time." Luna replied.

The two sisters looked at each other, then they both looked near the throne room.

"I wonder who it could be. It sounds.....How do I put it........Chaotic..." Princess Luna said, confused. Celestia and Luna looked at each other once more, then came to realization.

"Discord." they both said in unison.

Celestia got up from her chair and levitated her book back into the Royal Library.

"Romeo and Juliet. A classic love story." Luna said looking at the book as it passed.

"Yes, one of my favorites." Celestia replied. The two sisters smiled, then they both trotted into the throne room to face Discord once more.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

"Discord, what ever is your meaning to break into the Royal Canterlot Castle?" Princess Luna said with a look of seriousness on her face. Discord smirked, then started laughing.

"Oh, my dearest of friends! The 'Royal Sisters'! Princess Luna, Princess Celestia! Oh, it so nice to see you two again! It's been so long!" Discord said hugging the two alicorns.

"You still did not answer our question, Discord." Celestia said, breaking away from the hug. "What gives you the right to just break into our castle?"

"Oh, Twilight gave me a key to the castle. Since I am reformed, she trusted me enough to let me in whenever I would like!" Discord replied, smiling.

"Twilight Sparkle would never do such a thing." Princess Luna said. "Where did you actually get that key?" Discord stopped smiling and had a blank look on his face for a second.

Discord frowned, "I stole them from Twilight's purple cabinet in her bedroom. I'm sorry."

Celestia could tell Discord was actually sorry, and not faking. Just the day before she had discovered the power to tell if a lie was being told. When she told Luna, she taunted her by saying, "Wow. You've turned into a 'Living Lie Detector' sister!" Celestia's powers had been growing for a long time. Thousands of years, in fact. Her powers grow every second. Every day she would discover a new power she had no idea she even had. Alicorn magic is different from other magic. It is one of the most power magics in the universe. She used to wield some of the most powerful magic in Equestria. The Elements Of Harmony were originally named 'The Elements Of Friendship' but were renamed 'The Elements Of Harmony'. They were named that because a sense of friendship, is like a sense of harmony. Friendship is also a form of love. Love is also a powerful magic as well. Friendship is wielded by the mane six, and love Princess Cadance and Shining Armor. Not wielding any of those two magics has changed Celestia. She has started to feel like she has no more power. But she knew if she ever died, Equestria would be in good hooves. Her and Luna have been good rulers for a long time, a LONG time, but she knew all things come to an end. Celestia knew that end would be long from then, maybe even centuries, but for then her and Luna would rule in peace and harmony.

Celestia smiled a bit, "We forgive you Discord. But you still have no right breaking and entering. You want to be reformed don't you?"

"Yes I do. But being reformed is so hard! Where's the chaos? Where's the excitement?" Discord said.

"I believe you can find a way to have fun, without getting into trouble. You just need to experiment and find what you like to do." Luna said, smiling.

"Well,how do I do that?!" Discord said. "The number one thing I love to do is anything chaotic!"

"Well, you like that pony Fluttershy don't you?" Celestia said.

Discord blushed. Discord and Fluttershy had been spending much time together since he had been reformed. They would always talk about what he was doing, and Fluttershy was always making sure he wasn't up to anything. If he was he would get the stare.

"I-I would s-say I l-liked her.." Discord stuttered. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna started giggling.

"We didn't mean have a crush on her, we meant liked her in general." Princess Celestia said. Discord sighed in relief and wiped his forehead.

"I totally knew that." Discord said, still blushing of embarrassment. "Also, yes, I do. We chat most of the time. She asks me what I've been doing. She does it just to make sure I'm not up to anything."

Just then a letter plopped down on Celestia's head out of nowhere. "Oh, look! A letter from Twilight Spa- No, wow! Who would have guessed! It is a letter from Fluttershy." Celestia said. "I'll just save it for later." Then the alicorn levitated the letter into the other room.

A bell chimed from outside the castle. Discord teleported outside to check the Canterlot Clock, then he quickly teleported back into the castle. "5 o'clock! I'm meeting with Fluttershy! Do you mind?" Discord asked.

"Not at all. But, do make sure you tell her about this incident. Alright?" Princess Luna said.

Discord sighed, "Alright, alright. Fine. I will but if I end up getting the stare, it's on you two."

"Fair enough." Celestia said looking at her sister.

Discord dashed out of the castle and hurried to Fluttershy's cottage. Celestia and Luna trotted. back into the room they were in before.

"You can only wonder how he does all this stuff." said Princess Celestia giggling. Both princesses continued to giggle as they went back to doing their normal routine.

The Letter

Celestia quietly sat down. She was levitating Romeo and Juliet when she noticed Fluttershy's letter sitting on the coffee table. She then, levitated it up and began to read it.

Dear Princess Celestia,

I know you have been veary hesitant on the fact the Discord is reformed and aloud to have freedom and be out in the open, all over Equestria. I know I am very worried as well. I might be a close friend of his, and that is exactly why I have been monitoring him on what he has been doing. I have been keeping track of these meetings in a journal. From what I have seen Discord is learning how to manage being reformed. As a punishment for any wrong doings, I give him the stare. Well, it all depends on what type of thing it is and if it was meant to be harmless or not. Here are a few the recordings I have been keeping.

Dear Journal, 5/7/15

At today's meeting with Discord he seemed a bit, how do I put it. Blue. I really don't know why he would be acting in such a way. I am very worried about my poor friend. I just hope he feels better.

So, he has told me that he was going around Ponyville when a little filly trotted near him, looked, then screamed for him mom saying, "MOMMA! MONSTER! MONSTER! MOMMA!" Poor Discord, it makes me so sad to see him so sad.

Something is up, Discord is chuckling...I can't believe him! He made scary monster faces at the poor little filly! Oh, poor thing! I can only imagine the horror on the filly's face! I have no choice but to give Discord the stare! He still must have a lot to learn about being a good person in the society! Something must be done. He can't do this forever. I won't let him. I won't let him be turned to stone again because he ruined Equestria. I. Will. Fix. This....I will fix him.

Dear Journal 5/9/15

Discord has not yet arrived but I have set the most wonderful dinner for him and I. It's so I can show him how to act at a dinner party. I really hope this goes well. I have scones, muffins, chocolate milk in wine glasses (they're his favorite, you know c:), steak, potatoes (regular and mashed), turkey, salad, and sauces (barbecue and ranch). I really hope he likes it. The animals and I spent all night making the food and setting the table. Oh he's here! Time to see how this goes.

I asked him how his day was. He is a bit hesitant, oh something's happened! I didn't want to have to do it this time, but I have no choice..

Oh no. He saw some timberwolves around my cottage! He hurt them so they would go away. He didn't tell me because he knew how much I liked animals so much! Oh silly Discord. I care about regular animals. Well, basically all animals, EXCEPT timberwolves. Just thinking about them just makes me want to SCREAM! Or squee. Plus it was also very nice of him to do that, he was worried they would hurt me since they're so close to my cottage. Should I use the stare on him? I mean, it's been powerful on him since we got to be good friends. Oh, I can't use the stare. I can't.

Dear Journal, 5/13/15

Discord hasn't arrived yet. How strange. He is usually on time, if not early, since he loves coming over to my cottage to chat with me. Oh, I'm sure he's just caught up in something important. I guess I better go looking for him. I just really hope he isn't doing anything bad right now. But I will make sure I keep this in my saddle bag at all times from now on, unless he keeps on being late.

Oh, I still don't see Discord. I can't imagine what trouble he's in right now. Oh I'm just so worried about him. Oh there's Rainbow Dash. I guess I'll go talk to her and see if she's seen Discord.

She said she saw some pink clouds raining chocolate milk when she passed. In her words, "I thought I saw Angel hopping out in the open so I went down to get him when all the pink chocolate clouds got in my way. So I tried to go the other way, but that didn't work so I kicked them out of the way. I went down to get Angel when he turned his head and his face was like Discord's face.Then I jumped back then Angel started flying, then he flew away."

I can't believe Discord. I thought these meetings were paying off. He knows I'm trying to help him, but he just isn't getting the fact that is he doesn't stop, he will be imprisoned in stone. AGAIN! I just wish things were different. I just don't want him to suffer again. I know I promised to never use my element against him ever again, but I might have to! I might have to pry them from the tree just so Equestria will be safer! That promise is the number one reason I am doing this! I don't break promises to my friends! Especially when it is about a matter of this size!

I just wish Discord would think before he does stuff like that. He needs to learn to be more responsible with his actions. He might just have to go to kindergarden again to learn how to control his himself.

Thank you for reading this letter, Princess. As you can see I am still worried about Discord. He isn't listening to me. I'm only trying to help him. But, I will not be discouraged. Discord will be fully reformed with no chaos whatsoever.

Best Wishes To You and Luna in Canterlot,

Fluttershy

Caught In Traffic

Author's Note

Discord might have been cussed out. :3

Caught In Traffic

Discord flew as fast as he could to Fluttershy's cottage, but got stuck in some traffic. For some reason ponies were randomly stopping Discord and asking him to do things.

As Discord was flying a white green and pink maned mare flew up to him, "Excuse me kind sir, would you please watch my pet goldfish Lucillia for me?" said the mare, handing him the bowl.

Discord hesitated but refused. "No! I won't watch your stupid fish!" Discord threw the goldfish bowl behind him not caring that there was a live goldfish in the bowl.

"LUCILLIA!" the mare shouted, flying away.

"What is up with the ponies today? One mistake and it all comes down on you." Discord said.
Just then a red maned orange stallion flew up to Discord.

"HEY!" The stallion shouted, angrily. "ARE YOU THE GUY THAT THREW MY MAREFRIEND'S GOLDFISH LUCILLIA?"

Discord hesitated to answer. "Yes, well, I believe I was. Is there a problem?"

The stallion was breathing heavily when he shouted, "OF COURSE THERE IS A PROBLEM! MY MAREFRIEND'S GOLDFISH IS GONE BEACUSE OF YOU!"

Soon the stallion and Discord had gotten into a full on fight. Fluttershy was flying with Twilight, looking for Discord when she saw the fight and her and Fluttershy quickly rushed over to Discord's aid.

"Stop it right now!" Fluttershy said trying to break the two up. Twilight grabbed onto the stallion and Fluttershy Discord, and tried to pull them apart.

"This is harder than I expected!" shouted Twilight. Finally the two mares managed to break it up, but then had to face why they were fighting.

"Why in Equestria were you two fighting?" Twilight asked, putting her hooves on her hips.

The stallion quickly got scared and yelled, "IT'S HIS FAULT!" then flew away.

"How immature." Discord said. "At least I didn't say 'It's his fault' then fly away like a big baby."

Discord looked over then noticed Twilight and Fluttershy still looking at him.

"What?" Discord asked.

Fluttershy went over to him and used the stare. The stare did not actually work on Discord, he just did it because he knew how much it meant to Fluttershy when she does the stare on somepony. It was her personal 'superpower'. But just because it didn't work doesn't mean it didn't do anything. The stare didn't fully work on Discord. It just made it feel, 'uncomfortable'. It also made him think about what he had done, as intended. The fact that Fluttershy had to use the stare on him. No one likes the stare being used on them. Discord didn't actually know what the stare could do. He honestly had no idea. But, Discord didn't have to pretend he wasn't effected by it. It still made him feel bad, for MANY reasons without end.

"Calling somepony a 'big baby' is not okay, Discord. Saying that makes you as immature as that stallion." Fluttershy said after she did the stare.

Discord was very confused and put his claw to his mouth. "How so?" he asked.

"Very." Fluttershy answered. "But, you still haven't answered our question, Discord. Why in Equestria were you and that random stallion fighting in the middle of the town?"

"Well, I-I wouldn't call it the middle of the town. We are in the sky after all." Discord said, trying to reason.

Fluttershy hit her head then nodded her head no. "Not in the middle of Ponyville. THE MIDDLE OF CLOUDSDALE!"

Discord sighed. "I'm sorry. I was just in a hurry to get to our meeting and then this ridiculous green and hot pink maned pony came up to me and wanted me to watch her fish Lucillia then I said no and without thinking a threw the fish bowl backwards then the mare's coltfriend came over and screamed at me for throwing the fish then we got into that fight!"

Fluttershy and Twilight looked at each other.

"Okay, we forgive you on that one. Even though you talked so fast we could barely understand what you were trying to say." Twilight said.

"Thank you." Discord replied.

"By the way have you seen my key?" Twilight asked. "It's been gone for a couple hours now."

Discord remembered about the key. He swiftly took it out of his pocket then held it out for Twilight. "Here. I used it to get into the castle, but the princesses and I worked it out."

Twilight levitated the key back into her saddle bag to take home.

"By the way, Fluttershy, Princess Celestia received your letter. She said she would read it later so I guess she has read it by this time." Discord said.

"Thank you for letting me know that Princess Celestia got my letter, but it is still not okay that you broke into the castle!" Fluttershy replied.

Discord replied, "Well, it's technically not breaking and entering if you have a key. Which I did."

Twilight put her hoof on her face. "Discord! Just don't push it!"

By this time, Discord has been going through what Fluttershy calls, 'The Stealing Stage'. Discord had been stealing lots of things from the mares. He stole Apple Jack's bucket of Zap Apples, he stole Rainbow Dash's Daring Do poster which read "YOU ARE THE BEST!", he stole Pinkie Pie's party canon equipped with everything needed for a party, he stole two of Rarity's stiching needles, he stole Fluttershy's special animal soap, and he stole Twilight's key. Nopony really knew what he did with those things. Nopony ever wanted to know either.

"Discord, Twilight, let's get back to the castle." Fluttershy said already flying down to the castle.

"Agreed." Twilight and Discord both said.

So then the three flew all the way down back to the castle.
