"Do you have powers, godmother? All the other creatures do…" Fluttershy asked, petting a timberwolf. "I have powers, but not much… You see, they can only do…. Minor things… foolish, silly things that I can sometimes regret." The alicorn sighed, looking into Fluttershy's concerned eyes. "Was it scary? How high could you go? Did you cast a lot of spells?" The girl asked. "It wasn't too scary, and I could fly up to the clouds, to the moon and back!" Nightmare Moon sighed. "I used to raise the moon even…" She said. "But, isn't that queen Celestia's job?" Her niece asked, looking out to the sky. "Yes…." Her aunt whispered. "If it wasn't a bother, can you teach me to fly like that, godmother? To the clouds and beyond?" The young mare asked, looking excited. "I thought you didn't like heights, dear." Nightmare Moon said. "I don't really, but maybe you can help me come over it, maybe in baby steps?" The princess asked. "Most of my powers were stolen a long time ago…." Her aunt sighed.

"When Luna's plan on my daughter fails, she will come for me…" Celestia whispered. "My darling wife, perhaps I can be of some assistance to you?" A dark voice asked. "Sombra! You frightened me!" Tia gasped, turning to her husband. "I'm sorry, my dear. But maybe, the way to get rid of this silly little curse your sister put on our lovely daughter, is simply to kill that alicorn and our princess shall be home with us!" Sombra cooed. "K-kill?" Celestia gasped. "Yes, that is the only way." Sombra growled. "I… I need to think about this, Sombra…. Curses aren't that simple!" Celestia sighed, pushing him away. "But of course! I'm only trying to do what's best for you!" Sombra chuckled.

Nightmare Moon watched her young niece play with Spike and the tatzlwurm licked her face. "Fluttershy? Come here, please!" She called. The princess looked up from giving Spike a belly rub. She ran up. "Sit down." She did. "Fluttershy, there's something I need to tell you." Nightmare Moon said. "What is it?" Fluttershy whispered. "There is a evil in this world…. And I cannot keep you from it…." Nightmare Moon said. "I'm almost sixteen, godmother." Fluttershy said. "I can take care of myself." She assured her. "I understand. But… Fluttershy…. I must tell you…" The girl interrupted her. It had been clear she had been daydreaming. "I already have a plan!" She gushed. "When I'm older, I'm going to live here, with you in the Everfree! Then, we can look after each other!" She cried. Nightmare Moon realized something. If Fluttershy was here, there would be no spinning wheels and she could protect her from the curse! "You don't have to wait till you're older. You can live here now." She said. "Then I will!" Fluttershy gasped. "Oh! I'll sleep in a pretty tree, I love trees! And I'll eat berries and black nuts and all the little creatures and big creatures, and oh, everything will be my friends!" She cried, twirling around. "I'm so excited!"

"Aunties… I'm almost sixteen now, and...well…I need a life of my own…." Fluttershy paused. "No. No! Of course not, I love you very, very much…. But it's time to say goodbye. You've been very good to me, except the time were you accidentally fed me spiders…" She whispered. Suddenly, she heard a chuckle in the trees behind her. "W-who's there?" The girl gasped. "They fed you… Spiders?!" A voice said, then burst into laughter. "Who at-" The mare was interrupted by a plate appearing before her, spiders crawled from it. Suddenly, a creature appeared before her. Fluttershy recognized him as a thing of many animals. "Um… Hello…" She whispered. "Yes, I'm afraid I need to get to the castle, tell me where it is?" The thing asked. Fluttershy gasped as he snapped his fingers and the clouds turned to cotton candy. "Wow…" She whispered. "Oh right, you silly ponies don't like that stuff! You love your sense making world!" The creature sighed. "No. I think it's pretty!" Fluttershy giggled. The creature stared at her with his jaw open. "Really?" He asked. "Of course! It's nice…." The princess said. "Well then…" He chuckled. He snapped his fingers and the forest clearing changed. The trees into candy canes, rocks into gumdrops, and the grass turned to peppermint swirls. "It's wonderful! Oh, did… you have to go to the palace?" She asked. "Oh! Um… I suppose, but I don't really want to take over anymore, now that I've meet you.." The draconequus realized his mistake. "Take over?" Fluttershy gasped. "Um… no….. Well, I have to go now…" He said. "Wait!" The pony creid. "Yes?" Fluttershy bit her lip. "What's your name?" She asked. "Discord, prince of chaos." He said. "Oh! Your majesty!" The pegasus said, bowing. "What's yours?" The draconequus asked. "Fluttershy...Peasant girl of Equestria." Fluttershy whispered. "Hello, Fluttershy…Well, I best be off!" Discord said, snapping and now on a tiny scooter. "Goodbye.." He said. He was about to kick off when Fluttershy gasped. "Will you be back this way?" The prince looked surprised but took her hoof and they locked eyes. "Nothing could stop me…" Fluttershy blushed. "Oh, well we'll see each other soon." She said. "Very soon, my dear." The prince said, kissing her hoof. "Goodbye, Discord." Fluttershy whispered. "Goodbye for now…" Discord rode off. The young princess sighed, a smile on her face. "Goodbye…"

In the king's chambers, Sombra paced back and forth. "Sombra, my love. I have made a decision…" Celestia whispered, peeking in. "Yes?" The king sighed in relief. "I will… do what you suggest… but do you really think this will stop the curse?" His wife asked. "But of course!" Sombra said, pushing her out. "I'll see you bright and early tomorrow! It is a very big day." He said. Once he had slammed the door shut, he darkly chuckled. "Soon, once I have her sister out of the way, Celestia will be backstabbed, as I call it, and I shall leave her to rot in a cell!" He told his closest guard. "What about the princess, your majesty? Wouldn't killing Nightmare Moon reverse the curse?" The guard asked. " The princess? Oh please, curses don't fade you idiot! After Tia's out of the way, all that's left is our precious, little Fluttershy. And by tomorrow, her sixteenth birthday, she will prick her hoof on that spindle and she'll be asleep forever and I will rule Equestria!" He laughed.

Sorry for those who I confused! I tried to make Tia the villain but one of my reviews didn't want that or Sombra to die, so I made a new villain and it made more sense to me. Once again, I redid this chapter in some ways so now it's different!
