Fluttershy crossed her arms, looking expectantly at the spirit in front of her. She raised an eyebrow. "Well?"

Discord glanced over at her, somewhat annoyed. "What?" He snorted.

Fluttershy glared at the draconequus. "Discord, get your feet of the table right now."

Discord rolled his eyes, and took his feet off the table. "I don't get what's so bad about it. Just a table.."

"I got that from my mother!" She pointed at the coffee table and flew right in front of him. "And I do not appreciate it getting dirty because a naughty spirit won't take his feet off the table." She produced a duster and started brushing it against the top, making sure it was clean.

Discord rolled his eyes again, snorting. "Whatever, Fluttermom. I don't care." He teleported, ending up behind her. Then, getting an idea, he raised his talon and snapped. Suddenly a huge wave of chocolate milk poured through the cottage, drenching everything as Discord stood there with his mouth open and arms outstretched to catch as much as possible. Fluttershy let out a shrill scream that was cut short as she got drowned in the fluid.

After the wave had passed, the now quite angry and flustered, dripping wet pegasus sat up and blew some drenched hair out of her face. Discord was laughing, pounding the air, which Fluttershy had no idea how. She growled, stormed up to the spirit and pulled him down by his tail.

"You think that's funny?! My house is completely soggy!" Fluttershy yelled in his face, gesturing to her destroyed home.

Discord smirked. "Obviously I think it's funny because I'm laughing."

"Well I don't think it's funny!" She stomped her hoof on the floor.

"Well I do. So, ha." He crossed his arms and stuck his tongue out at her. Fluttershy resisted the urge to punch him and settled instead for screaming through her clenched teeth a little. The pegasus glared at him and turned around, knowing she would never win.

"Why do you have to be so mean to me?" Fluttershy whimpered, sticking her bottom lip out, eyes watering. Discord didn't say anything, but raised an eyebrow. "You're always messing with my house and pets..." She sniffled, biting her lip. Discord's eyes widened as he realized what was coming. The pegasus let out an earsplitting wail, tears pouring out of her eyes like Pinkie Pie always did when she was crying. Discord quickly made an umbrella appear, but not before getting soaked in tears instead of chocolate milk.

"Okay, okay! I'll fix it, alright?" Discord asked, trying to get her to calm down a bit. Fluttershy stopped crying and looked over at him from where she had her head in her hooves.

"R-really?" she squeaked.

Discord sighed. "Yes."

"Yay!" Fluttershy wiped the tears away and gave her signature cheer of joy. Discord groaned and was given a hug by the pegasus.

"Just get off me and I'll fix it." Fluttershy let go and stood waiting patiently as the spirit snapped his fingers, the house clean once more.

"Thanks, Discord." Fluttershy squeed and looked at her clock. "Oh, I have to meet the girls today. Do you want to come?"

Discord opened his mouth but before he could speak the pegasus said "yes, now come on." He groaned, letting his shoulders sag. Meeting up with her totally annoying friends was about as much as he could take. But he had no choice now.

They flew over Ponyville, dropping in through the library window, which Discord barely fit through.

"Hi gals!" Fluttershy greeted her friends.

Rainbow Dash was the first to look up from the card game they were playing. "Hiyah Flutters! You made it!" She smiled, but it quickly disappeared when she caught what was behind the other pegasus. "... And you brought that guy. Wonderful." Rainbow rolled her eyes and glanced down at her cards again. "Anyways, take a seat. We're playing go fish." Seeing Fluttershy's raised eyebrow, Dash sighed. "Pinkie's choice, obviously."

"Well, okay. Discord, you want to play?" Fluttershy looked at the spirit, who was already bored out of his mind just being there.

"No," he responded firmly.

"Okay then. Be good." The yellow pegasus sat down between Rainbow Dash and Twilight.

Applejack grunted, eyeing Discord. "Hmmph. Teenagers," she grumbled. "Always up to no good."

Discord scowled at her as she turned back to the game. The spirit mumbled something under his breath about the stubborn earth pony and summoned a cloud to sit in.

"Okay, Rarity, you have a fish?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"Pinkie, we're using the fish edition. I've told you that you must use the certain type of fish," Rarity replied.

"But I don't know what one I'm after!"

"Pinkie, just pick one!" Rainbow Dash shouted.

"Fine. You have an eel?"

"No. Go fish," Rarity said. Pinkie reached forward and grabbed a card out of the middle as Rarity did her turn. "Twilight, do you have an angelfish?" Twilight levitated the card over to her without saying anything. "Rainbow Dash, do you have a shark?"

"Nah. Go fish," Rainbow said. Rarity picked up her card. "Pinkie, do you have the squid?"

"Nope! Gold fish, Dashie!" Pinkie replied.

"For the last time, it's go fish!"

"But we technically are fishing, but for our fish cards!" Pinkie started laughing.

"Uuuuhhhhh..." Rainbow reached for a card out of the center. As she touched one, it turned into an eel. "Hey! What the-?!" It shocked her with electricity, and she tumbled back, hitting her head on the bookshelf. Her mane stuck straight up, and had a burning smell to it. Rainbow shook her head to clear it and then glared at Discord, who was snickering in his cloud. "Why I ought to!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, it was such an accident!" Discord laughed, making all the ponies in the room glare at him. "Oh come on, take a joke!"

"Discord, that's not how you treat ponies. Say sorry to Dash right now, or else," Fluttershy commanded.

"Or what? I'm not scared of you." Discord leaned over the edge of the cloud and flicked her nose. Fluttershy slapped his paw away angrily.

"Get that dumb smirk off your face before I take it off for you!" Rainbow shouted, lifting up her hooves in a fighting stance.

"Pff. What are you going to do, Rainbow Crash?" Discord snorted sarcastically.

"I'll show you what I'll do! Bring it on! I can-" Fluttershy shoved her hoof in Dash's mouth.

"That's enough out of both of you. Discord, say sorry," the pegasus commanded.

"Nah, I think I won't," Discord said, putting his arms behind his head as he laid there, stretched out on the cloud. Fluttershy growled, getting angry once more.

"Well, if you're not going to apologize, then you're not staying in here." Fluttershy stood up.

"Not like I want to be here anyways." Discord made the cloud disappear and stood up. Fluttershy went up behind him and started pushing him. "Wait, where are you taking me?" The pegasus continued pushing him back. She pushed him into a side room and finally answered his question.

"Time out."

"What! You can't put me in time out! I'm hundreds of years older than you-"

Fluttershy slammed the door shut. She immediately saw the door knob turning, and shouted "stay in there until I tell you, you can come out!" She heard an angry, muffled response. "If you come out before, you don't wanna know what I'll do!" There was some angry yelling, and then silence. Fluttershy turned and sat back down with her friends.

"That was awesome! You sure showed him!" Rainbow Dash laughed.

"Yeah, but that was just one time. I'm always making empty threats. I'm just glad he usually listens to me when I get mad, or else I'd have to think of a punishment. I'd never be able to do that." She sighed. Rarity came up and patted her on the back.

"Has he ever not listened to you?" she asked.

"Well, there was this one time..." Fluttershy looked back on the memory.

"Discord, stop torturing Angel bunny! He never did anything to you!" Fluttershy shouted angrily. The spirit was holding him upside down, squirting him with a water gun.

"This isn't torturing; we're having a water fight," Discord said, continuing his annoying squirting.

"No, it's not. Now put him down right now, or else." Fluttershy stomped her hoof. Angel squeaked angrily.

"How do you know?" Discord looked over at the glaring pegasus.

"Because I'm the adult here! Now put him down!"

"Technically, I'm the adult. Hello, over three hundred years old."

"Uh, arrogant spirit, party of one, your table is ready!" Fluttershy flew up and took Angel from his paws. "And I'm the adult here. Not you. You're the one who needs the guardian. You're not as old as me in experience. You are a teenage draconequus. I am a grown up pony. We're going by that." She walked away and put Angel outside. The bunny hopped away, leaving a trail of water.

"I never needed a guardian." Discord flew over her, and tripped the pegasus with his tail. She fell over and he started laughing.

"Oh no you just didn't." Fluttershy scowled at the draconequus and stood up.

"I just did, yes. And now I'm going to do this." He snapped his talon, making a giant tub of chocolate milk appear, and then pushed Fluttershy into it. Discord started laughing hysterically while the pegasus hauled herself out. She growled.

"DISCORD!" Fluttershy shouted. Discord stopped laughing for a moment. She pointed one hoof at the other side of the room.

"What?" he asked.

"Corner. Now." She continued pointing.

"You've got to be kidding me. You're kidding right?" Discord looked at her disbelief.

"No. Now go. Or I'll make you."

"You'll make me?" Discord laughed. "Have you forgotten who you're talking to?"

"No. But it seems you have." Fluttershy flew up and bit onto his ear.

"Ow! Hey, let go!" She pulled the spirit over by the ear and stood him in the corner.

"Stay there." Fluttershy let go and landed. She shook herself off, splattering milk droplets everywhere.

"This is stupid."

"Well, maybe you should've thought of that before you decided to misbehave." Fluttershy got out a mop and started to clean the floor. An awkward silence came next.

"... How long do I have to stand here?" Discord asked.

"Until I say so," Fluttershy responded. She continued cleaning.

"When's that?"

"I'm still deciding."

"... Now?"

"Not even close. From the way you behaved, you'll be there for a while." Fluttershy finished cleaning and put the mop away. "Think about what you did. And don't move."

"He ended up being in that corner for an hour," Fluttershy said after she had told the story.

"I had no idea it was that bad," Twilight murmured. The others agreed.

"It's not all terrible. I mean, he's nice... sometimes." She paused as the ponies looked at her. "Okay, okay, he's awful! He uses so much magic to torture me and my animals! And all these childish 'punishments' are getting nowhere. All it does is embarrass him, so it's not even worth it. I just wish he was his normal age, with normal annoyingness!" Fluttershy flopped over dramatically.

"Fluttershy, dear, it's okay. You'll find some way yo make him behave. It seems he listens to you when you threaten him with "or else," so it can't be all bad, right?" Rarity guessed.

"Well, I guess you're right... but he's still really bad."

"He is a teenager," Pinkie Pie said. "All teenagers are wild. I remember throwing parties with lots of alcohol when I was a teen. Don't worry, he'll grow out of being totally annoying and bad, just like all teenagers."

"In another three hundred years?!"

"Oh, huh, that's right..." Pinkie fell quiet. "Twilight, I think you should hurry with that spell."

"I'm still working. I must've done something wrong with the first counter spell, so now I have to change it. But I'm no closer than I was three months ago!" Twilight exclaimed, holding a hoof out in indignation.

"Let's just hope it's soon,"Rainbow Dash muttered. "I'm getting sick of that guy."

"Ah agree. Discord is hard to control. It was better when he was a baby," Applejack said.

"We can't do anything for now, unfortunately," Twilight sighed. Fluttershy was about to say something, when they heard a shout from the other room.

"Why do you have this book Twilight!? GROSS!"

"Seems like he found your stash," Rainbow Dash teased. Twilight rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. "Wait, am I right?"

"IIIIIIII'MMMMMM BOOOORRREEEDDD!" Discord yelled. "Can I come out yet?"

"No!" Fluttershy shouted.

"Why?"

"Becasue I said so!" They heard another angry shout. Then, in a bright flash, Discord had teleported outside of the room. "Hey! I said no!"

"But it's so boring! All those books! Lllaaammmeeee!" Discord waved his paw in the air. "Plus I like fire and that really wouldn't be the best thing surrounded by all those books."

"Wait, did you say fire?" Twilight gasped.

"Yeah, don't worry though. I just scorched a few when I was mad. My mane kinda combusts sometimes when I'm angry. Something I can't really control." Discord smiled lazily as the unicorn shot into the other room.

"You disobeyed me again! I can't believe you did that!" Fluttershy yelled.

"I would," Rainbow Dash said.

"Yeah you're right I don't know why I said that." Fluttershy looked down. "But the thing is that you never listen to me! Why?!"

"Because I don't care," Discord said, smirking.

"You should!"

"Well I don't."

"We're leaving! Sorry girls. But Discord and I need to talk. Come on." Fluttershy led the way out the door. Discord sighed and followed after her. The other ponies watched them walk out, shaking their heads.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I don't believe you," Fluttershy said. She paced in front of him. They were at the cottage.

"Well, I wouldn't believe me either, so I guess I don't blame you," Discord told her, smirking slightly.

"You've got to start listening to me."

"Eh."

"Eh?! Is that what you just said!? Uhhh! Why?!" Fluttershy dropped from the air out of frustration.

"Yeah."

"I've had enough."

"So have I."

"Excuse me?!" Fluttershy's head shot up from where she was looking at the floor.

"You heard me."

Fluttershy gave him a deadpan stare for a few moments before pointing at the other side of the room. "Corner."

"Again?!"

"Yes. Do you want me to escort you over there?"

"That's a punishment for a kid." Discord crossed his arms.

"Well, when you stop acting like a kid I'll stop treating you like one." Fluttershy took his arm and dragged him to the corner. He stuck his tongue out at the pegasus. "You get five extra minutes for that."

"Oh come on!"
