Chapter Two: Making Friends and Planning Parties

I'm so excited about this story, and I can't wait to see how it ends! Now, I know some people didn't want you to be a unicorn, but there is a reason for that, and it will all make sense in the end, trust me. I also wanted to give a shout-out to seniorcopycat. Thank you for your nice reviews and your human/MLP stories to inspire me! Well, that just about covers it, so read away!

You trot down one of Ponyville's many dirt roads. It was almost nice, the fact that there were no cars, no pollution, even if it did make traveling a bit harder. All right, who can I go see? You look up at the sun to see that it is late afternoon, so everyone should be done with lunch and relaxing at this time. As you walked down these unfamiliar roads, you eventually come to what you guess is Fluttershy's cottage on the edge of a dark, scary-looking forest. As you approach, you see Fluttershy's yellow head pop up from her garden where she is tending to her flowers.

"Hi, Fluttershy," you say coolly. "What's new?" You bend over to look at her garden, which is filled with rows of pink petunias and blooming sunflowers.

"Oh, um, hello, [Y/N]," she says, crouched down and not looking you in the eye.

Raising an eyebrow, you say, "You know, I'm not going to hurt you. I just wanted to hang out."

Fluttershy, still crouching, finally looks up at you with her big blue-green eyes. "I-"

She is cut off by a creature slithering out of her cottage door unlike any creature you've ever seen. He had the head of a pony, while his body looked to be a mismatched jumble of appendages. You shiver at his sight and take a step back.

"Fluttershy, is this pony bothering you?" He asks her in a protective way, eyeing you suspiciously.

"Oh, no, Discord, [Y/N] is a friend." Fluttershy looks up at the creature without a hint of fear.

Perhaps she's braver than I thought.

"Are you sure? She doesn't look like your friend to me, the way you were afraid of her very presence." He crosses his arms, his eyes darting between you and the pegasus.

"Yes, Discord, I'm very sure. Actually, [Y/N] here just came to Equestria. She used to live in the human world. All of our friends are just trying to help her get settled in to her new home, not to mention her new body."

After hearing his friend's approval of you, the creature's face lightens up. "Well, then that changes everything." Turning to you, he continues, "Then that would make you and I both different. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Discord, spirit of chaos! In case you were wondering, I am a draconequus. Pleased to meet you." He holds out his hand, and you go to shake. As your hoof makes contact with his hand, a zap of electricity courses through your body, and you scream, pulling away quickly. After inspecting yourself to make sure you are alright, you look down to find a draconequus rolling with laughter at your hooves. "You...you should've seen the look on your face! Priceless!"

Fluttershy, however, looks down at him disapprovingly. "Discord! That is no way to treat a guest, especially considering the fact that she's my friend."

Discord finally stops laughing and looks up at Fluttershy, a huge smile still on his face. "Aw, come on, Fluttershy, she knows I was just playing with her." He grabs you and pulls you into a noogie. "Isn't that right, [Y/N]?"

After Discord finally puts you down, you look up at Fluttershy, fixing your now messy [H/C] mane. "We're friends?"

Fluttershy looks perplexed. "Well, of course we are, silly. I mean, I know I'm shy, but I'd still like to get to know you. You know...hang out, like you said."
