Discord woke up, blinking. Sunlight filtered in through the window, making the room glow. It would have been a wonderful morning if he wasn't in trouble with the little Flutter Butter and he got to use his magic.

Grumbling incoherently, the spirit clambered out of bed. Surprisingly, his head didn't hurt at all. There was no sign of a hangover and all seemed fine. Except the fact that his bed was ten times bigger than it normally was.

Discord promptly fell what seemed like fifty feet to the ground, even though on a regular day it was only about two. He landed hard on his back and groaned, rolling over. As soon as he saw the giant beast in front of him he let out a squeak and sprang backwards.

The snow white bunny narrowed his eyes. Angel then sighed, turned round, and left the room. A moment later Fluttershy entered, looking confused.

"Discord! Angel said you were small?" she squeaked as her head popped around the door, surveying the room.

"Yeah, we might have a problem," came the reply, Discord's voice now high pitched and squeaky.

"Oh no! What did you do to yourself?" Fluttershy came forward and saw the draconequus sitting on the floor and picked him up in a hoof. "Can you change yourself back?"

"You said no magic, Flutter Butter," Discord teased, sticking his tongue out.

"Okay, okay, you can use magic. Just change yourself back."

Smirking, Discord snapped his paw. . . and nothing happened. He tried again, but still no result.

"Oh, my, what should we do? If your magic won't work then we're really screwed!"

"Fluttershy!" the spirit gasped mockingly, "watch your language!"

"I'm sorry. I've just been really tense lately, with all of this. I never use words like that," the pegasus said sadly, a small sigh escaping her lips.

"Oh come now, my dear, it'll all be better! Say, why don't we go to Twilight's and have her try to fix me? Even if I don't like to admit it, she's a smart girl and probably has a cure in one of her many books."

"Alright. Here," Fluttershy said, tucking Discord away in her mane, "you can stay in there; at least until we're done."

"And you said you woke up like this?" Twilight inquired, a hoof rubbing her chin. Her eyes were narrowed, looking at Discord, who stood upon a table.

"Yes!" he replied. Twilight had to choke back a laugh. His voice was too funny.

"Can you solve this, Twilight?" Fluttershy asked softly. She was sitting at the other end of the table with her hooves on top near her chest.

"Probably. Here, let me get that book I loaned to you that one time when Discord was a baby. It might have something in there about illnesses or whatever," Twilight muttered, half to herself, and floated a book down towards them. She opened it and flipped through the pages, coming to rest on the right one. She scanned the page carefully, eyebrows furrowing.

"What is it?" Fluttershy asked, leaning forward.

The unicorn let out a small grunt and then replied, "it says here that there are no known illnesses that only affect them, but there is one thing that can cause shrinking."

"And?"

"It's alcohol."

Fluttershy looked taken aback. "B-but I would never give him alcohol! He's just a teen!" She then paused. Both mares slowly turned to look at the darconequus.

He cringed and his ears flattened against his head. "Okay, so maybe I was drinking last night." Fluttershy snorted angrily, looming over him. "Hey! I didn't even have that much!" He raised his paws in defense.

"I cannot believe this! You went out an disobeyed me again! on the same day! You are in so much trouble when you're not small!" the little pegasus screeched.

"Yeah, but that's not the only symptom of what is technically a 'hangover,'" Twilight started. She was looking at the book again. "There are a variety of other effects that come at random times in the same day. But only within a day, so he won't have to be all wierd for the rest of his life-oh wait." She finished with a knowing look at the spirit.

"Well that was just rude," Discors pouted, crossing his arms.

"Does it say what the next ones are?" Fluttershy asked.

"Um, no. Shrinking was the only symptom listed. The rest are hidden under a mixture of what I think is honey and peanut butter," Twilight told her, carefully studying the page.

"Oh, sorry. That probably happened when Discord was a baby for a little while. He loved his honey and peanut butter sandwiches."

"I did? How odd," the named spirit rumbled, a paw to his chin.

"Yeah, you always got it everywhere."

A sudden bang filled the air and several books fell from their shelves. The ponies started in alarm, Fluttershy already hidden under Twilight's tail. The unicorn rolled her eyes and walked towards the door, a blue head sticking out of the wood.

"Oh, hey guys! When did this library get here . . ." she muttered, glancing at the back half of her body, which was currently being enjoyed by ponies outside.

Twilight face hoofed. "Dash, how many times have I told you: open the door."

"Well, I wasn't exactly trying to find my way to the library, now was I?" She rolled her eyes, then suddenly stopped, rubbing a front hoof along her chin. "Or was I?"

"Can I help you with something?"

"Nah. Just, um, *crashed* in. Heh."

"So-"

"Pun intended."

Twilight looked up, eyes staring ahead in a dull glare. She blinked slowly, then returned her gaze down to Rainbow. "These crashes given you brain trauma yet?"

Dash shrugged. "Meh. Probably."

They retained their gazes for a long moment longer, Dash's blank and Twilight's bored.

Finally, the unicorn used her magic to take hold of Rainbow's front hooves and yanked her into the room. The pegasus went flying and landed in a heap in a pile of books. She sat up, shaking an encyclopedia off her head and took flight, hovering a few inches off the floor.

"So, what's going on here?" Rainbow inquired, her eyes narrowed, a wicked smile on her face as her eyes whisked across the room suspiciously.

"Discord's gone and shrunk himself," Twilight said, rolling her eyes.

"Hi, Rainbow Crash," the mini spirit mocked.

Dash glanced around, eyes wide, mouth open. She then burst out laughing. She fell on the floor and rolled around, tears starting to form in her eyes as she held her stomach. "D-did you get a girl voice too while you're at it?"

She cackled loudly and spoke once again, her head up. "O-or maybe, T-Twilight hid a-a tape recorder in here and you're just lip-syncing!" The

pegasus stuttered incoherently as she laughed.

"Uh, you have no idea how much I hate you," Discord muttered. He let his arms hang limp at his side and glared at the laughing blue mare.

"Maybe if you h-hate me so much, you should come and fight me, huh? Wait, have you looked in t-the mirror!?" Dash guffawed, throwing back her head in joyous laughter.

"Now, you two, stop it. It's not nice," Fluttershy scolded lightly from beside the pouting Discord.

"Yeah, I'm gonna go and, uh, "study," now," Twilight muttered as she stalked up towards her bedroom.

"Go rest your brain, Twi! Maybe it'll let you help me!" Discord yelled shrilly. His wings flared and he plopped onto his backside, arms crossed.

Fluttershy sighed deeply and picked Discord up, depositing him in her mane once again. "Come on, Discord. It's only a hangover." Next Chapter: Behold the References Estimated time remaining: 4 Minutes
