Butterfly's Story

"I'm divorcing you and kicking you out of the house for good Discord!" Fluttershy shouted, squaring up to him despite him always being taller. "I knew I shouldn't have married Satan's brother!" Discord didn't care though. "Oh yeah? well have fun dealing with Butterfly all by yourself, I will come back and I will make her evil just like me!" he growled as Fluttershy pushed him out the door.
"Threats, threats, threats, that's all you ever say to me. Never step a foot or claw on my property again or I'll call Celestia to deal with you!" she said as the draconequus flew off without another word. Butterfly had been sitting on the couch in the livingroom crying her eyes out. "Mommy, I don't want daddy to leave forever! I love him! he has to stay with us or I won't have a dad anymore!"

Fluttershy breathed heavily before slamming the door shut and tearing off all photos of her and Discord hung up on the wall and discarded them into the trash. "Forget him Butterfly, he was hurting us. It's better off this way." she couldn't help but sniffle, she really wanted her and Discord's relationship to work out. But of course her friends had been right all along in the end, marrying another species was always a bad omen. It was the very reason Rarity kept turning down Spike and why he killed himself afterward.

"Mommy I think I did something!" Butterfly gasped as she levitated the couch off of the ground. Fluttershy whipped her head around to see a glowing pink aura surrounding the two. "Oh my gosh stop that!" Fluttershy gasped and ran up to Butterfly to pull her down. In an instant the pink aura vanished and the couch fell. "What was that? what did you just do?" her mother demanded.

"I-I don't know. I was sitting here crying and then all the sudden before I knew it the couch started floating. Hey, do you think if I can find a way to make myself float in the air I won't ever have to learn how to fly?" she asked innocently. Fluttershy got angry. "This is your chaos magic stuff again! no, don't ever use it again in this house you hear me?"

"But-but it's just fun mommy! I promise i'd never hurt anypony with it!" she begged. Fluttershy turned her tail on her and snatched her telephone to tell her friends about the news and why they have to be careful of her ex-husband now. "Too bad, I don't want to see anymore of that. You don't understand Butterfly, I could have you taken away from me and you could be locked away in the Canterlot Dungeons if anybody finds out about this." she ranted, dialing the phone numbers of all her friends.

"It's just not fair.." Butterfly sighed and watched as her own hooves slowly stopped glowing pink. "I liked using my powers..but daddy made it so mommy thinks I'm evil. Now I probably wont even be allowed to touch animals anymore! grr, I wish I was just normal like everypony else!" she cried and hid under her bed sobbing. "Why did I have to be born different from the other fillies?"

"I just don't know what to do with her Rainbow! Discord has taught her too much. I don't think it's a good idea to send her to school yet until we get these powers figured out." Fluttershy explained on the phone. Rainbow Dash had offered to come over, feeling bad for having such a personal conversation on Cloudsdale's phoneline in public. "Hey, what about this Shy, I come over to your cottage and take a look at Butterfly herself? I mean, she can't be that far gone."

"It's not that Rainbow.." Fluttershy teared up. "Discord threatened to hunt us down and steal her away from me..he said he'd turn her evil once he got the chance. What if he tries to kidnap her? he knows where I live now, he could be camping out in Everfree waiting for the time to strike for all I know!"

"Alright, alright!" Rainbow yelled. "I'll come over and stay at your house for the night. Nobody is going to steal my bestfriend's daughter. Ill see you around 1:00 PM, okay?"

"Okay." Fluttershy nodded, slowly setting the phone back down.

"I'm here Fluttershy!" Dash called out, shutting the door from behind her. Butterfly, hearing her aunt Rainbow's voice perked up with excitement. "Mommy, you never said she was coming!" Butterfly exclaimed. Fluttershy stroked her mane, which was the same manestyle Scootaloo had. It had been Rainbow's idea to style it that way, and Butterfly ended up loving it so much she kept it. "Yes, she is. We're going to have a talk downstairs so I need you to dry your tears."

"Ok, I will!" Butterfly agreed and grabbed a tissue box. "Can we play after?" She asked. "I really wanna show Rainbow Dash-"
"That you can float in the air and turn the vases in my house upside down?" Fluttershy frowned. Butterfly nodded but her mother shook her head. "Maybe another time. Rainbow can only be here for so long."

"Fine." Butterfly sighed and followed her mother downstairs. "Oh hey, what took so long?" Dash asked, plopping down on the green armchair and kicking her legs back. "Nothing, I was talking to my daughter upstairs." Fluttershy said. "AUNTIE!" Butterfly brightened, running up to Dash and hugging her tightly. Rainbow let out a "Ouuf!!" sound in alarm before melting into the fillies warm hug.
"Aww squirt.." Rainbow said. She had nicknamed Butterfly after her sister Scootaloo. She thought it suited them both. Rainbow hadn't been the same since Rainbine, her older sister had killed Scootaloo in a school shooting. She needed a replacement.
"So basically what happened was you thought breaking up with Discord was going to solve the chaos magic problem?" Dash rephrased. "Fluttershy, getting rid of him isn't going to change anything. This is a problem of Butterfly's. He had a point, without him around Butterfly is never going to learn how to control it."

Fluttershy threw her hooves up in the air. "So then what do I do Dash? he threatened my family! I will never let him into his house again!"

Rainbow looked down at Butterfly who smiled back at her. Not really paying attention to their conversation and just enjoying the sound of Rainbow Dashes voice. Dash rubbed the back of her head. "I-I'm sorry Fluttershy, but if you want to keep her safe and her magic thing a secret i'm afraid you don't have any other choice than to give her to a new home. Like a new mom."

Fluttershy was quick to shut down the suggestion. "No! I can't do that, Butterfly is my only daughter, I can't lose her. Then I will have nobody left. You know how the fostercare system is! they could send her to the wrong home, or hurt her. Why would I want to throw my responsibility on some other mare who won't even be familiar with what's wrong with her?"

"It's the only way." Rainbow pressed. "It's going to be hard on you but this is for you and Butterfly's safety. Listen up, I know a girl who runs a fostercare in Ponyville, and she might understand what Butterfly's going through. She's a human, not a pony and she loves kids. She'll take in any oddity like Butterfly, I heard she even took in a talking breathing tree once."

"Tree? well if she is okay with living trees then.." Fluttershy thought, looking at Butterfly as she used her magic to lift up the top of Dashes mane. "I guess so. Fine. I will do it." Fluttershy gave in. "Ill get rid of her."

"Good." Rainbow said. "It's the right choice." and with that she got up and left the home. "Bye Fluttershy. Bye Butterfly."

"Mommy, what's a fostercare?" Butterfly asked, tugging on her wing. Fluttershy sighed. "It's like a hotel that you stay in for a very long time. Pack your things Butterfly, we're leaving soon." Fluttershy stopped her when she caught Butterfly trying to slip her miss dolly into her bag.
"Only things you really need Butterfly. Here, put this apple in here instead." she handed it to her and took the doll away. "Fine.." Butterfly said annoyed.
