22 years later...

The alarm rang, and Discord groaned. He sat up, and hit the alarm clock, shutting it off.

Dishrag! We're hungry. said Phantom. Discord rolled his eyes.

"You can wait," said Discord. "Besides, my legs aren't awake." Little Zs appeared around his legs. Phantom rolled his eyes, and hopped away.

The past twenty two years haven't been easy. For starters, Spirit died, but after the fact he had kits with another rabbit. Phantom was the kit of Spirit that stayed. He was a grey rabbit with darker gray splotches. Spirit was the last animal alive that remembered Fluttershy, so it was sad that Discord couldn't talk about her with anypony when he was home.

Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie passed away. The first was Applejack when she stubbornly refused to stop working on the farm. She put too much pressure on herself during Zap Apple Season, and had a heart attack. Rarity died one day in her sleep, right after she was named the best fashionista in Equestria. Pinkie decided to eat ten whole cakes at once, and her body couldn't take it. She died from too much sugar. Twilight was alive, since she was an alicorn. And little Spike wasn't so little. When his wife, Applejack, passed away, he started working for Princess Twilight full time. He was about the height of Discord, and had his own pair of wings. He often flew to the Dragonlands and delivered messages.

Discord and Twilight spoke often. They spoke of their time with their friends, and Twilight managed to be happy, making new friends. Of course she missed her old ones, but she got over the pain of their loss. Discord was still hurt by Fluttershy's death, but was able to manage.

Phantom came back into the room, pounding his foot on the ground.

"Sheesh, I'm coming!" said Discord, rolling his eyes. He stretched, and rose from the bed. As usual, he looked at the wedding picture, and smiled sadly. He snapped his talons, and appeared downstairs. A lot of animals gathered around him, ready for the usual routine. Discord snapped his talons, and bowls, plates, and mounds of nuts and berries appeared. They spun around like a tornado, making Discord happy with its chaos. The bowls and plates were set in front of each animal, filling with the nuts and berries. Discord snapped his paw, and the bird feeders filled with seeds of many different flavors that the bird liked. Discord rubbed his paw and claw together. He kicked back, floating midair. He watched the ceiling for a moment.

Suddenly, there was a flash of green light. Discord was startled, making his magic fail and he fell to the floor. He looked up, and saw a scroll, which was floating. A letter from Twilight. Discord groaned, and took it. He opened it.

Dear Discord,

I'm sorry for having to bother you. But, there is

somepony I'd like you to meet in the castle. You

will get along with her very well. I'd say by the end

you will be talking to her like you knew her.

Your friend,

Twilight Sparkle

'Her'? Discord raised an eyebrow in interest. Surely Twilight wasn't trying to make him find new love, right? His heart still belonged to Fluttershy, as it always will. Discord sighed, and snapped his talons. He appeared in front of the Castle of Friendship. The castle stood high, sparkling gloriously. Discord snapped his talons again, and appeared in the library. He teleported right in front of Twilight, who screeched out in alarm.

"HEY FRIEND!" screamed Discord, and Twilight threw a book at his head. Discord held his paw to the part of the head where the book hit. "Ow..."

"Discord, don't do things like that!" snapped Twilight. "Sometimes I just want to..." She groaned, and rolled her eyes.

"So, who's this friend you want me to meet?" asked Discord. A small squeak sounded from behind him. Discord's ears perked up, knowing who it had belonged to. He turned around, and saw an earth pony mare.

Her coat was the familiar pale yellow, and her mane was rose pink. She had the familiar shy expression on her face. Her cutie mark was three pink flowers.

"F-Fluttershy..?" Discord muttered under his breath. It had to be her. Sure, she The mare met his eyes. Discord's heart fell as he noticed they were emerald, not the comforting turquoise Discord was used to. But, then he noticed they were filled with the same kindness and compassion Fluttershy's always were.

"Discord, this is Posey. Posey, this is Discord," said Twilight. She grinned. Posey cowered, looking away. Discord fell on all fours, trying not to be intimidating.

"It's nice to meet you," said Discord calmly. He snapped his talons, and in his eagle claw was a spool of cotton candy. Fluttershy's favorite. Discord saw Twilight raise an eyebrow and smirk. She obviously knew what Discord was doing. "Want it?" He held the cotton candy out to Posey. She smiled, and took it.

"T-Thanks, Mr. Discord," said Posey. She took a small bite out of it, and smiled. "This is my favorite."

"No 'Mr' nonsense," said Discord, waving his paw dismissively. "Just call me Discord."

"A-Alright, Discord," said Posey. She gave him a small, sweet smile. "I hope we can become great friends. I just moved from Baltimare to here."

"Do you have a place to stay?" asked Discord.

"She's staying here for the night," said Twilight. "And tomorrow she's going to look for a place to stay."

"Posey can always stay in my place," said Discord hopefully.

"Um, Discord, that sounds nice," said Posey. She stood up taller.

"That's a great idea," said Twilight. She met Discord's eyes. "Posey, may you go out in the hallway? I have something to talk to Discord about." Posey nodded, and walked out of the room. When the door shut, Twilight giggled. "Did you put the puzzle pieces together?"

"Posey is Fluttershy," said Discord bluntly. Twilight giggled harder.

"I knew this was going to happen," said Twilight. "In a book I read, some ponies will be reincarnated. This is due to a spell. The kindest of ponies will be given infinite lives, and they won't be able to remember, unless they experience true love."

"Well, don't we have true love?" asked Discord.

"No," said Twilight, her eyes narrowing.

"W-Wha?"

"Let me finish," said Twilight. "Since she doesn't remember you, the love is one-sided. You have to make her fall in love with you all over again. Or, she has to fall for someone else." Discord's heart shattered.

"I-If she falls in love with someone else, and remembers, do you think she'll stay with them?" asked Discord.

"Probably," Twilight replied, her eyes filled with pity. Discord looked at the ground.

"Then I'll give it everything I have," said Discord. "I can't lose her." He had another chance to love Fluttershy. He wouldn't waste it.
