Chapter Five: Doing Some Digging

Hey bronies! So, that season 4 preview. Wow. I am counting down the days until the season premiere, and until then, I'm going to write fanfics like crazy to fill the hole...sniff...that can only be filled by MLP. Haha, anyways, enjoy this chapter, I had so much fun writing about the Discord's past and then the CMC (and I'm finally home!). Also...if anybody wants to really see what Reptantis looks like, enter this code on generalzoi's Pony Creator on deviantART: 5347006430660029FFC49D00131E5E500UN383023H00000051 (ignore this space it's not supposed to be her but I can't delete it) 000000CC000005107F3FCC004CB2

Humming, you trot to Fluttershy's cottage, Fluttershy trailing behind you.

"You know, we could get there a lot faster if you didn't stop to sniff every flower," you point out.

"But [Y/N], I don't want to miss even one of these beautiful flowers." She looks up from sniffing a bright pink flower. "But I suppose I can sniff them all some other time." She finally comes up next to you and you walk together until you're at the door of her cottage. "Discord? Spike? Is anypony home?"

A disheveled Discord opens the door. "Ah, Fluttershy, [Y/N], you're back." Suddenly, a small white bunny runs under his feet, causing him to fall to the ground with a thud. "Please...do come in." You and Fluttershy step inside to see everypony's pets running amok throughout the cottage. As you look to your left, you see a tired Spike wrestling with a little alligator. You shriek as it clamps down on his foot and put your hooves in front of your eyes.

"Woah, calm down, [Y/N], he's just a baby alligator. He has no teeth, see?" You peek out from behind your hooves to see that Spike is right-instead of teeth, the alligator has tiny pink gums. Spike giggles as it continues to gum his foot. "It actually tickles more than it hurts."

"So, since everypony is home, I'll just gather up these animals and Spikester here can return them to their owners," Discord says.

"You got it, Disco," Spike says, finally managing to pry the alligator off of his foot.

As Discord snaps his fingers, all of the pets appear on red leashes tied to Spike. Spike yells as the overexcited pets drag him out the door. "Ta ta!" Discord yells after them, waving. He turns to you and Fluttershy. "So...how did the meeting with Princess Prissy-Pants go?"

Fluttershy glares at him. "Discord, what did I tell you about insulting ponies?"

Discord rolls his eyes. "It's mean and unnecessary," he says in a mock Fluttershy voice. "But seriously, that pony has no appreciation for a little bit of chaos! Not like you girls, anyway." He smiles mischievously. Before you or Fluttershy can object, he snaps his fingers and turns Fluttershy's wings into little butterflies and then turns to you.

"Help meeeee!" Fluttershy shrieks as the tiny butterflies try to lift her off the ground and fly around the cottage.

"Discord..." you say, eyeing him warily as she takes a step towards you. "Don't you dare."

"Oh, why ever not?" He smirks and takes another step. "I thought you ponies liked my little pranks. Hmm...what should I do? Turn you into a bird, maybe? Ooh, I have a better idea..." He snaps his fingers and you slowly feel your figure changing and getting taller. Your tail disappears, but your mane remains untouched. As you look down, you see that you look just like you did before you feel into Equestria. He turned you into a human again. "Woah..." he says, studying you. "You really are a weird-looking creature, and that's coming from me!" He laughs at you and Fluttershy. "This is hilarious!" Finally, Fluttershy gains control of her wings and lands, pinning them against her sides so that they can't move.
