“I need just one more itsy-bitsy minute,” said Butterfly Wings Rarity to the Pegasus in charge of the show, “Be a dear and have somepony go ahead of me, hmm?”

Big Max says, “Nope.”  We’re back to the show.

Rarity in the Carousel Boutique, “I feel like I am being insulted, but I’m not sure who it is.  Or where they are, but I am going to hunt them at some point…”

“…Ooh, a guessing game!” Sweetie Belle jumped up excitedly.

“It is not a guessing game.”

“You’re right… There’s a lot of ponies who don’t like you, so it won’t be much of a game.  Suri Polomare?  We know she doesn’t like you…”

“Yes, well, the feeling is mutual.”

“Or it could be Prince Blueblood.  I think he’s still mad about the time you shook yourself like a dog and splattered him with all that cake.”

“Prince Blueblood is a royal pain!  I told him as much the last time we met…”

“You still think he has a cute butt?”

“Shut up!”

“Can I have him then?”

“I am going to say “no,” because you are my sister and I love you.  Also Equestria would be ruined if a pain in my neck like you crossbred with somepony like him.  That’s why we took Cozy Glow out of the gene pool.”

“Aww, that was almost sweet.  I guess… that’s being generous,” Sweetie Belle said to the Element of Generosity.

Back to Fluttershy and Discord in the cave…

“You read a magazine about dating…?”

“Photo Finish put me on the cover of one, something about selling goth make-up to ponies who regularly break-up with their special somepony.”

“…And the terrible dating advice creates a terrible business model!”

“See?  There’s worse ponies than you out there…  Are you ready to come outside?”

“…Not just yet…”

“Then I’m staying here too.” Fluttershy set her flank down firmly.

“You don’t have to stay.”

“You think I don’t want to?  I want to be brave at home, under my bed, with my teddy bear.  This place has all the dark quiet safety,” she gave Discord another hug, “and you’ll be my teddy bear.”

“You have a life to live!  Aren’t you a teacher or something?”

“I have enough “teacher of the month” awards, they probably can fire me.  Anyway, aren’t you the master of chaos?  There can’t be nearly enough chaos sitting in the same dark cave every day.  That’s why I just randomly showed.”

“Thank you.  It is a lovely random tea party.”

“Do you have any of those self folding origami napkins?  I think one of us might be crying…”

Discord snapped his fingers and a whole Alice in Wonderland theme filled the cave with floating candelabras.  The round table spun, the checker table cloth flying like a skirt.  The tea set floated no matter how the table spun, little tea cups clinking together as if giving each other “cheers.”  Discord wore a “mad hatter” that wasn’t there before, and Fluttershy had a little blue dress now.  A flock of origami swans flew by, and both of them were crying and smiling just a little.

Twilight Sparkle would like to take a moment to remind us she is supposed to be the main character.

“I’m pancake,” looks like Twilight could use a break.  We’ll be right back after these messages.
