It didn't take long for Fluttershy to reach the sanctuary, and she could easily figure out just what the emergency itself was. Some absolute monster had accidentally lit a small fire in the shrubbery. A lot of the brush seemed to have been taken care of by the time she got there, thank Celestia, but Fluttershy was especially happy to see that things had managed to go as well as they did.

"Sorry, Flutters, looks like someone wasn't taking care of the power box properly and it exploded. It's gonna take a couple of days to get everything back under control" said one nameless earth stallion. Fluttershy just huffed angrily as one of her eyebrows twitched, obviously not amused by the simple idea that some pony was so reckless, they'd be left completely unable to get anything done alone. The yellow pegasus just took a few deep breaths and tried to relax a little bit.

"Just...just make certain that nothing bad ends up happening" Fluttershy sighed. Amazingly-or unsurprisingly, depending on how you look at it-Fluttershy took her job VERY seriously when it came to running an animal sanctuary. Every little critter needed their own special needs met, and Fluttershy needed to constantly make sure everyone else was doing what they needed to meet those extra needs.

For the time being, Fluttershy decided to check out a few of the rare, exotic birds, for the time being. Many of them needed a good preening every now and again, but thankfully, they were in perfect condition right now. All of their feathers looked perfectly preen and perky, just like her own wings, and it made the yellow pony very happy to see them enjoying themselves. Just as she was about to start doing some bird calls though, something randomly jabbed her in the butt.

Right away, she turned around in shock, ready to give whoever did it a stern, hard, talking-to about personal space. Unfortunately for her though, she had no idea just who it was. If anything, it seemed to be nothing at all. That just made her blink twice in rapid succession, looking around the entire area to try and find a culprit, but she couldn't find out. She looked back at her birds and saw them all giving her funny looks. She gave them a few little bird calls, trying to talk to them in their own language.

"Did you see any pony standing nearby?" she asked them, only to be told that none of them had seen anything behind her at all. That just made her even more cautious though, looking around carefully as she felt all manner of different emotions running through her at that moment. Fear, anxiety, arousal-"Wait, what?" Fluttershy greatly questioned herself at that moment. Now was not the time to be focused on her sexual ideals, now was the time to get out of there.

"Hmm" Twilight mused, thinking that she should be handling the rod very carefully. The link had been activated and all, but the problem was that Fluttershy ran out too soon to really be able to make any kind of observations or anything. Instead, she was just left sitting there with an enchanted rod and nothing else to do with it. The pony princess just sighed passively and started digging around for another book, considering the idea of trying to find another book to read for the time being.

"Oooh, isn't this an interesting piece of equipment?" said one particular voice that Twilight knew all too well. She scowled already as she turned to find the spirit of chaos and disharmony floating right behind her, playing around with the rod in his claws. "And I thought you weren't interested in causing chaos" he then commented with a big smirk on his face. Twilight could only try and pretend not to notice and simply sighed rather passively.

"I'm not causing any, and be careful with that, it's got-"

"Got an enchantment on it that links it to a pony?" Discord interrupted, surprising Twilight greatly.

"How did you know that?" Twilight asked with an eyebrow quirked, amazed at such a thing before it suddenly dawned on her that he can do all kinds of different things. Seeing him randomly predict something that she was doing was of no real surprise.

"Ooh, there it is. That adorable little scowl of yours" Discord chuckled rather deviously as he casually threw the rod into the background, Twilight grabbing hold of it with her magic and returning it to the table as carefully as she could manage. "Anyway, I looked ahead at the script and found that what happens is surprisingly saucy. Assuming you're done making her quiver in pleasure, be sure to tell her I said 'Hi'" he then added before putting on a hat and coat and walking into the closet, the likes of which was turned into a portal back to his home, leaving Twilight confused, as per usual.

"I need to remember to ask Pinkie if there's any way to understand him" Twilight muttered as Pinkie actually folded over part of the screen itself. Twilight saw the way it was folding up and nearly had a panic attack, running to the other end as Pinkie showed up on the other side.

"No can do, Twi-Twi, this is the kinda magic that not even princesses can know how to use" Pinkie smiled and giggle-snorted, soon returning to her parent's house and letting reality unfurl itself back into place. Twilight was just left to ponder the meanings of....EVERYTHING at this point. Thankfully for her sanity, the camera panned over towards the rod once again, reminding her of what Discord had said earlier, about Fluttershy quivering in pleasure....

"Wait....does that mean that the spell is linked to her...." Twilight pondered, her whole face going red as she started thinking about the different things that she could do now. A rather devious smile had formed on her features as she then magically picked up the rod and started wondering just what she'd use it for. But then, her conscience just had to kick in and remind her that she shouldn't be doing this. Why, it was sick and twisted to even consider the idea of it, and an absolute lack of responsibility. She was a princess, not some...dungeon mistress! She set the rod down in disgust and then turned up her nose, taking one out of Rarity's playbook and walking away from it before she could be tempted into doing anything worse.

......................

"Oh, I'm going to Tartarus for this!" Twilight said as she grabbed hold of the rod in her teeth and then dashed off-screen, knowing for certain that she just had to figure out just what she could do. Fluttershy was going to lose her shyness today, but only because she was going to be so mad at Twilight.
