Fluttershy woke up, stretched her wings, and walked over to the window. She yawned as she enjoyed the warmth sun on her face, noticing several of her bird friends come down from the trees to greet her with a song. “Good morning, friends,” she smiled happily. Out of the corner of her eye, she thought she saw Rainbow Dash talking to a rock. Dismissing it as one of those things, she went downstairs for breakfast.

“I’m telling you, we can’t prank Fluttershy!” Rainbow Dash said. “She’s too sensitive, she’ll cry and we’ll both feel terrible!”

A diminutive Discord walked out from behind the rock. “Just a little prank?” he asked. Rainbow Dash shook her head.

“Pinkie Pie and I couldn’t even bring ourselves to squirt water in her face,” Rainbow Dash said. Discord folded his arms.

“Squirting water! Please!” he said. “I’ll think of something that won’t hurt her. She is my friend too, you know.” He folded his arms.

“Well, while you’re thinking…” Rainbow Dash snuck over to the window and peered inside, beckoning Discord to come over. “There’s our target.” She said, pointing.

A sly smile crept over Discord’s face. “Ooh… this one might remember me from the last time! So what’s the plan?”

Angel the bunny was napping on the sofa, lying in a nice patch of sunlight when something blocked the window. Annoyed, he turned his head to see what might be the matter. A dark rain cloud had blocked out the window, the only cloud in the sky for miles around. Angel sighed and hopped over to Fluttershy in the kitchen.

“Good morning, Angel! Are you here for your breakfast?” Fluttershy asked, peering down at her bunny. Angel tugged at her mane and stomped his foot impatiently, pulling her towards the living room. “Okay, if it has you in such a hurry, I’m sure it’s important enough to set breakfast aside. What is it, Angel?” Fluttershy entered the living room as Angel pointed at the window. There was nothing there. “What about the window?” Angel looked confused, staring outside. “Well, I’ll just be back in the kitchen if whatever it was comes back,” she said.

Angel shrugged and resumed his nap on the couch. Ten seconds later, the sunlight was gone again. He looked up, annoyed, at the window to see the same cloud there. He stuck out his tongue and glared at it, willing it to go away. The cloud began to slowly rotate, revealing a monstrous face on the side, with evil yellow eyes and jagged teeth.

Angel squeaked and ran towards the kitchen, colliding with Fluttershy’s hind legs as he pulled her back towards the living room. “Did the thing come back?” Fluttershy asked as Angel nodded furiously. She slowly walked over and checked out the window. “I’m sorry, I don’t see anything.” Angel hopped onto her head and stared, rubbing his eyes. Nothing was there. “Maybe you’re just hungry. How about some breakfast? I have a nice bowl of cucumbers and carrots for you in the kitchen.” Angel nodded and happily followed Fluttershy into the kitchen, where he was presented with his breakfast. “You eat here, I’ll be in the living room in case whatever it was comes back,” Fluttershy said, walking out the door.

As Angel munched on his food, he suddenly became aware that he was the only being in the room. All of the other animals had finished eating and Fluttershy was in the living room. The crunching of his food seemed to echo through the room, accompanied the by ominous dripping faucet. Munch. Munch. Drip. Munch. Munch. Drip.

Drip. Squeak… Angel turned his head just in time to see the faucet handle turning on its own accord, ever so slowly. Drip. Dripdripdrip fwoosh. The sink began to fill as the water pouring from the faucet turned into a dark, cloudy black. The bunny watched, wide-eyed, as the storm cloud demon from before rose out of the sink and floated towards him.

Angel’s cucumber slice dropped from his mouth as he stood quivering in fear before regaining control of his motor senses, propelling himself into the living room as fast as his legs could take him. Fluttershy caught him with a pillow. “Careful now, Angel, you shouldn’t run so fast indoors. You could get hurt. Are you finished with your breakfast?”

Angel relaxed a bit, looking up at his owner’s reassuring expression. He then did a double take as wisps of black cloud began to form directly above her. The cloud demon appeared, opening its mouth as if preparing to swallow Fluttershy’s head. Angel pointed frantically, and then fainted with fright.

“I wonder what’s gotten into him,” Fluttershy said, looking around and seeing nothing. “I suppose I can go wash the dishes now, though.” As she entered the kitchen, a vaseful of blue flowers on her coffee table turned pink.

“I suppose that counts for a Fluttershy prank,” Discord said to Rainbow Dash. “I don’t think I can get more subtle than that, even with unlimited chaotic power.”

“Eh, I guess it’s alright. We got what we came for,” she said, sticking her tongue out at the unconscious Angel. “You know, he’s almost kind of cute when he’s unconscious.”

“Almost makes you forget about how he is when he’s awake,” Discord said.
