Twisk woke up in her bed, she frowned “I’m still growing in this body. I’m going to need new clothes in the future, I wonder if Amber will have this problem, I doubt it she could whip herself something really quick.”

Spike frowned as he walked down the stairs bags under his eyes, he passed Twisk a letter “Celestia wants you for something, I’m going to get some more sleep.” Twisk nodded with a smile before she read the letter

To my Faithful Student Twilight Sparkle/Frisk

I am coming to Ponyville to discuss something important with you. It is not a world ending threat so don’t worry but I require you to bring your friends to the square. What I plan today will ease up the problems you will have to deal with, it will tough but I’m confident you can handle it and you will need the elements.

From your Mentor Princess Celestia

Pinkie/Amber frowned “My Pinkie Sense triggered, it told me that we are going to have to do something really annoying soon, I gathered everyone as it involved them too.”

Twisk smiled “Thanks Amber, that is going to save me a lot of trouble.”

Rainbow groaned as she flew in the door “Why did you have to wake me up so early Pinks? I should be sleeping right now.”

Applejack frowned “Pinkie wouldn’t bring us here unless it was important, Rainbow.”

Rarity entered with Fluttershy hiding behind her “I agree, this must be important.”

Twisk frowned “Celestia wants us present for something and Amber has confirmed something really annoying is going to happen. I believe the two are linked, still we should meet with her and we need the elements with us.”

Twisk took the elements giving them to their respective bearers, they then headed out to see Celestia’s chariot land. Celesta smiled as he levitated Discord’s statue out of the chariot, Pinkie/Amber frowned “Why is Discord here?”

Celestia smiled “I wish for you to reform him.”

Rainbow growled “No way!”

Applejack grimaced “He is a no good trickster.”

Rarity frowned “How can we even trust him, he almost took over Equestria last time.”

Twilight frowned “How could you possibly think this is a good idea, he is a menace on our society.”

Celestia frowned “I want you all to try, he could be a powerful ally and good friend. I believe Fluttershy should be left in charge of his reformation.” Fluttershy squeaked in response.

Pinkie/Amber frowned “I see, I understand we’re your coming from but he will inevitably cause a few of us some trouble. Still I believe this will work.”

Celestia smiled “I’m glad at least someone agrees with me, I wish you luck in this endeavour.”

Rainbow growled “What the hey Pinkie, do you really think Fluttershy of all ponies can help him?!”

Pinkie nodded “Fluttershy may not be bravest pony but when push come to shove she always pulls through for us one way or the other.’

Rarity nodded “That is true, she does pull through for us. I must admit the dragon incident would have ended really badly if it wasn’t for her.”

Twisk shuddered “I remember the Cockatrice, I would still be out there a statue in the Everfree Forest… it was so cold and dark as if my life had been drained from me” she turned to Discord’s statue “I can’t imagine what it’s like of him in there. We going to do this together.”

Rainbow frowned “Very well, we’ll do it but I’m not happy about it.” The six of them joined together and with the power of the Elements Discord was freed from his prison.

Discord groaned as he stretched “I’m so glad to be out of that stone prison.” He clicks his claws which makes a squirrel larger and more ferocious.

Rarity and Fluttershy gasps Rainbow and Applejack glare at him while Pinkie/Amber sighs. Twisk growled “What do you think you’re doing?!”

Discord grinned “Why stretching of course, stone bodysuits are so a millennia ago.” He clicked his claws again mutating bunnies making their legs much longer.

Pinkie/Amber shook her head “Okay enough of that.” She clicked her fingers and the animals turned back to normal.

Twisk blinked “Amber, how did you do that? You undid Discord’s chaos.”

Pinkie/Amber rolled her eyes “I’m surprised you didn’t figure out where my strange powers came from after we faced Discord. I didn’t use them then because I had faith we could beat him together.”

Discord raised an eyebrow “Wait you two are different then I remember, you were both ponies.”

Pinkie/Amber frowned “That’s a long story that we’ll tell you later” she shook her head a clicked her fingers summoning a glass of chocolate milk and drinking the glass before throwing the chocolate milk into the sky which exploded into confetti before holding her hand out “from one Master of Chaos to another will you give this reformation thing a proper go.”

Discord sighed as reached over with his claw gripping Pinkie /Amber’s hand “Fine, from one Chaos Master to another.”

Pinkie/Amber pulled her hand away “You know I am not stupid right, I can tell you’re planning to double cross me. I may not be as old as you but I have seen this shit before so please don’t mess with me. I want all appendages visible to me and that includes you tail.” She then held her hand out again.

Discord laughed as he honestly shakes her hand “You’re good, very well I’ll try. I mean if you can do it then I can too right.”

Pinkie/Amber nodded with a smile “That’s the right attitude to have.”

Fluttershy smiled at Discord “How about I show where I live, follow me.”

Twisk frowned as she watched the two leave the group “Amber are you sure about this? He caused a lot of trouble before.”

Pinkie/Amber smiled “I do believe we should put our faith in Fluttershy, I have some to get back to Sugarcube Corner. I have baking to do.”

Rainbow frowned “We’re okay with this, he just left with Fluttershy. What if he hurts her.”

Applejack frowned “I doubt it, I don’t trust him yet but did he ever directly attack us. She is safe, besides Pinkie has similar powers to him.”

Rarity nodded “We should trust Pinkie and Fluttershy.”

Back at Fluttershy's house, Discord entered with Fluttershy. Fluttershy began to clean up the room for her new houseguest. Discord laid on the couch, when a white bunny leapt at him.

He flicked the bunny away with his tail, the bunny jumped up and down angrily . Discord frowned “First I’m a guest here and second I’m quite large so pardon me for taking up a lot of space.”

Fluttershy smiled weakly “Is anything I can do for you?’

Discord shrugged “Not really, I’m quite content here.”

Fluttershy smiled “Well um I need to and purchase some ingredients for dinner, so feel free to make yourself at home.”

Discord grinned evily at the bunny “Well she said make myself at home, I might as well.”

Fluttershy returned ten minutes later to see the entire cottage floating in the sky. She entered the building to see living room rotating around, she blinked “Um Discord.”

Discord turned to her with a smile “Well you did say make myself at home.”

Fluttershy sighed “Yes, I did.” She took a seat “Um could you turn the room back to normal if it’s not too much trouble? I would like to get to know you more but it would help if the room wasn’t spinning.”

Discord grinned “Okay, but only if I get to show you my juggling skills.” He clicked claws the room returning to normal as he began to juggle ten flaming torches.

Fluttershy watched in a mix of fascination and horror “Be careful.”

Discord smiled “I’ll be fine, don’t worry about it.” As if a switch was flipped the torches turned into knives, he yelped as one of the knives cut his claws. Fluttershy rammed into him as she saw the knives falling.

Discord frowned “Fluttershy, why did you do…” Fluttershy let out a shriek of pain as he placed his claw on her back ,his eyes widened as he saw a knife sticking out of her back. He clicked his claws vanishing the knife, he then placed his claws over the wound pouring magic into closing as the butterscotch pegasus mare whimpered.

Discord looked at her with worry “Are you okay?”

Fluttershy smiled weakly “I am.”

Discord frowned “Don’t do that again, my body heals naturally but yours won’t. Chaos magic is powerful but unpredictable, sometimes it plays little pranks. Now they aren’t deadly to me but to others they can be.”

Fluttershy smiled “I’ll be more careful next time.”

Discord nodded “No heroics, I am really trying but it feels weird. No-one would ever risk getting hurt for me before.”

Fluttershy gave him a light hug “Friends help and protect one another even if it’s difficult.”

Later that night, Fluttershy was giggling as Discord helped her cook. Fluttershy smiled “You’re not a bad cook Discord.”

Discord laughed “It’s no problem, I had cook myself once upon a time. Being powerful gets boring after the first five thousand years or so you learn stuff to alleviate boredom.”

They heard knocking, Discord smiled “I’ll help set the table.”

Fluttershy smiled “Great.”

She opened the door, Rainbow flew in followed by Twisk and Pinkie/Amber. Rarity came through with Applejack closing the door behind them. Discord smiled as all seven of them took a seat all of them wearing their elements, Pinkie/Amber spoke first “How everything going Discord?’

Discord smiled “Fluttershy is a very good friend” he then turned to her “Do you want gravy?”

Pinkie/Amber smiled “Sure it smells lovely” Discord clicked his claws and the gravy boat poured some gravy on her food. Pinkie/Amber smiled as she began petting the boat “That’s a cute gravy boat.”

Rainbow frowned “It seems more creepy to me.” The gravy boat proceeded to pour hot gravy on Rainbow Dash, Rainbow growled “Discord!”

Pinkie/Amber grimaced “Rainbow Dash anything a chaos user animates is alive, and won’t obey the order of the life giver. In fact chaos magic is quite unpredictable and capable of causing it’s own effects with the user’s consent if you don’t chain it carefully.”

Twisk shrugged “As far I’m concerned it’s a success, he seems to be doing his best. That’s really all we can ask for.”

Rarity smiled “This food is quite good as well, I must admit this went better than I expected.”

Applejack burped, she blushed “Excuse me.” Everyone laughed heartily and the group had confirmed that Discord’s reformation had been a success.
