Ch.9: The Old Switcheroo

Inside the newly renovated bedroom in the Old Castle of the Two Sister, Fluttershy sobbed into the pillow. She is trapped and alone unless she gives into Ahuizotl's demands and becomes FlutterBat once again…whether she likes it or not.

The poor filly couldn't believe this is all happening to her. Just when she meets a nice colt, he turns out to be some big dumb Meanie wanting to use her for some evil scheme. And to think; she thought "Leon" was a nice colt.

She also thought of Discord. Ever since his reformation and the beginning of their newfound friendship, the Master of Chaos has been more than just her best friend. He became her big brother best friend forever. Because she was born an only child, she wished that she had an older sibling to share a loving relationship with like the one between Twilight and Shining Armor. And when Discord came along and became like a fun older brother to her, it was a dream come true with all his tricks to cheer her up, supporting her choices, and letting her follow her own heart. She knows that he didn't get overprotective of her when it came to "Leon" because he was only thinking of her happiness.

And now…now she wishes that he was a little overprotective of her when it came to "Leon".

"You know what they say, Fluttershy," a voice said to make her shoot up her head with surprise. "Be careful what you wish for; you just might get it." She turned to see Discord in the room with her alongside Rainbow Dash and Daring Do, and her heart was filled with joy when she saw her "big brother".

"Discord!" She flew up to him and gave him the biggest hug she could muster, tears flowing out of her eyes freely.

"You okay?" he asked as he returned the hug. "Did he hurt you? When Twilight told me what happened, I got really scared." He only smiled at him at the look of concern he has for his baby sister figure.

"I'm alright," she assured him, "especially now that you're here. Oh, Discord, I can't believe none of us have known about it."

"Well, it was Ahuizotl's charm," Daring explained. "It blocks out anyone from detecting the magic in it. Anyway, since he pulled that trick on you to get revenge on me, we decided to give him a taste of his own medicine."

"How are you going to do that?" she asked. Discord smirked at her before he snapped his talons, and Daring turned into Fluttershy in a flash of light.

"Oh, my…"

"Just like looking at a mirror, huh, Fluttershy?" Rainbow asked with a smirk.

"While we get you out of here," Discord said to her, "Daring's going to give Ahuizotl a night he'll never forget."

"Are you sure you'll be alright by yourself, Miss Do?" Fluttershy asked her new decoy.

"Hey, I've fought him many times before," she assured her with a smirk, "so this time won't be any different."

"Actually, I can think of a couple of ways it can be different," Discord mumbled to Rainbow, who quickly swallowed back the puke caught in her throat.

"What?" asked the two Fluttershies.

"Uh, nothing!" he answered quickly, looking a little awkward. "Anyway, just remember, Daring, that to change back to normal, you just have to say that certain phrase."

"Which I will be saving just for Ahuizotl," she answered, giving him a wink, which he returned. He then took Fluttershy into his arms and snapped his talons, and they and Rainbow vanished in a flash. Seeing that she's alone now, the disguised Daring headed to the bed and lied down on it in a cute and enticing pose.
