After an hour or so, Fluttershy came out in a soft turquoise nightgown. Her soft, pink, hair was in a braid that draped across her shoulder. She walked into the main room to be greeted by Discord who had already changed into a linen shirt and some pants.

She whispered softly, "D-Discord?"

He grumbled, put on a fake smile, and turned around. "Hello, dear," He came to her. "Hungry?"

Her stomach grumbled at the mention of food. "Sure, thank you."

He walked her to the dining room where Rarity and Applejack were waiting with some salads. He pulled out a seat for her and handed her a salad as they ate in silence.

The hall was disturbingly silent with the occasional sound of the fork hitting the ceramic plate. Discord didn't like silence and decided to bond to build "trust".

He cleared his throat, getting the small pegasus' attention. "So, I've heard that you are good with animals."

Her face seemed to cringe at the mention of animals. "Yes, that is my special talent." She looked down and took a bite of her salad. "Oh and thank you for the salad!"

He got a bit curious at her reaction of his remark. "Is something wrong dear?"

She looked up and quickly wiped the tears out of her eyes, putting on a smile as fake as Discord's. "No, nothing is wrong."

He shrugged. "Ok then."

They finished their food and went off the separate ways to each of their rooms to sleep as Discord put another entry in his journal.

Back in Maris, Big Macintosh was heading to Fluttershy's cottage for his second attempt for his proposal, when he halted to a stop at the door to knock.

No answer.

He knocked again, this time louder.

Still no answer.

He was up to here with this stupid but beautiful mare and kicked down the door where he was greeted by animals, but no Fluttershy.

He went back outside to see paw and hoof prints heading into the Everfree Forest where the home of the mysterious beast lives.

"BUCKING FLUTTERSHY!!!!!!!!!!!"
