"I thought it was strange at first, just seeing you, but now that I've seen your powers in action, I know where I recognize you." Amitica said.

"Oh? Did you find him in an old history book?" Fluttershy asked.

"Something like that..." Amiticia said.

"Well, then maybe the changelings have information we don't. Like how we can prevent his chaos powers from causing any further damage." Applejack said.

"That's what I'm going to teach him how to do. Sure I may not know how we're going to figure this out, but this is something I need to do." Fluttershy said.

"I suppose you are the right pony for his rehabilitation. I trust you to continue to look after him." Twilight said to her pegasus friend.

"Oh...well...I'm just doing what I usually do for animals that many would normally be afraid of: Figure out a way for them to live in peace alongside us." Fluttershy said.

"...If ya all would excuse me...Big Mac bet me 20 bits that Fluttershy would be right for the job." Applejack said. But before she could leave, Amitica suddenly blasted Discord.

"AMITICIA, what the hay?" Twilight asked.

"THAT'S for making it so cold I basically was forced into a mini-hibernation." Amiticia said.

"Ow...okay I get it...I messed up...geez..." Discord said.

"That's also for unintentionally causing the whole changeling food shortage in the first place." Amiticia said.

"...Wait what?" Twilight asked.

"Well, from what Chrysalis's mother had wrote about things that happened before Chrysalis took control, a thousand years ago, out of nowhere one day, changelings suddenly lost a lot of their love supply. And Chrysalis confirmed this when I asked her about it. She said that's why she needed to drain ponies of their love by force now because there just wasn't enough for every single last drone otherwise. The love supply was just too low to do things the way they were back when her mother was in charge." Amiticia said. "What Chrysalis remembers about that day, as she was very young, is she saw a strange algamation that had the power to do basically whatever it wanted." He added.

"So wait...then the whole reason she was going to take over Equestria..." Applejack said.

"Was because of something Discord unintentionally caused prior to the two sisters turning him to stone the first time?" Twilight asked.

"I didn't know I had effected any creatures other then ponies and animals with my chaos powers..." Discord said. "Heck, before this whole conversation I still didn't think I could." He said. Suddenly he looked very sad. "I...deserve to be turned to stone..." He said.

"WHOA! Wait what?!" Applejack exclaimed.

"If my powers can impact something so negatively...then I don't deserve to co-exist with anyone..." Discord said.

"Discord..." Twilight said.

"AND WHAT MAKES YOU SO SURE YOU CAN'T LEARN TO CONTROL IT?!" Fluttershy suddenly shouted.

"...And here comes Fluttershy..." Applejack said.

"Huh?" Amiticia said.

"Sure, you unintentionally did a very bad thing. But this is exactly why I need to help you. So you don't accidently do that sort of thing again." Fluttershy said.

"But Fluttershy..." Discord started.

"Don't you 'but me' mister! The fact that your so torn up about what you accidently caused is proof that your not really evil. And I believe with the right training, you could very well help us out in the future." Fluttershy said.

"Are you certain about that?" Discord asked.

"I am very certain. I wouldn't help you like this if I didn't think you needed the help. And that's part of being a good friend: Helping out your friends with their problems." Fluttershy said. "And no matter what, I believe you can be a good friend. You just need help. That's why I decided to step up the way I did." Fluttershy said.

"Fluttershy..." Discord said.

"So you need to stop beating yourself up. I want to go out of my way like this. Because that's just the kind of pony I am. That's why I want to be your first friend." Fluttershy said. Everyone gasped.

"Fluttershy...I...I don't know what to say..." Discord said.

"No need to say anything..." Fluttershy said. Discord hugged the yellow pegasus.

"...You know for being someone so quiet...she can really come out of her shell..." Amiticia said.

"Oh...um..." Fluttershy said. "Sorry you had to see that side of me...I don't normally act that way...I swear..." She added.

"Are you kidding? That was AWESOME!" Amiticia said. "You did that out of the kindness of your heart right? And that's part of being a good friend. What your doing right now...it's great. I can see why your Twilight's friend." She added.

"Oh...um...thanks..." Fluttershy said, smiling.

"Think nothing of it. Now, what do you say you finally clue me into that joke you guys keep doing?" Amitica asked.

"What joke?" Discord asked.

"Well apprently, these six have some kind of inside joke about some wedding." Amiticia said.

"It's not a joke." Applejack said. "We messed up then...and it nearly cost us all of equestria. We're lucky Twilight forgave us so quickly from that incident. We really do need to trust her more." She said.

"Yeah...not our finest moment as friends." Fluttershy said.

"I told you guys to stop beating yourselves up about it and just forget about it..." Twilight said.

"Well so long as we don't let ourselves forget about it, then we make sure we always remember it. Because if we betray your trust like that again...we don't deserve to call ourselves your friends." Applejack said.

"We all think that way." Fluttershy said.

"Aw..." Twilight said. "That's it...all five of you girls are spending next weekend with me for a sleepover." She added.

"That sounds lovely..." Fluttershy said.

"Twilight...remember what happened between me and Rairty?" Applejack asked.

"It helped though, didn't it?" Twilight asked.

"Touché..." Applejack said.

"Jeez, how much have you guys been through? I need to know EVERYTHING..." Amiticia said.

"Oooo...me too! I want to know everything too!" Discord said. Twilight couldn't help but laugh.

"...I guess your right...he can be nice when he wants to be. And maybe he can join us all too." Twilight said. "...So long as you behave yourself." She said.

"This sounds like an interesting next weekend..." Amiticia said.

Author's Note

So, while there is no romantic interest going on between Fluttershy and Discord, Amiticia's whole presence is going to be changing quite a few things. Now that Discord knows his chaos powers can do a lot of harm, he really needs to learn how to reign it in and keep on track. And he's not going to see friendship as a prison for when Tirek comes along.
