Keep Calm and Flutter On With Rose

Rarity: Rainbow Dash is right. This is Discord we are talking about, girls. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have another trick up our sleeves.

Twilight Sparkle: And I think I know just the trick.

Rose Light: Discord? Oh, there you are. Listen, Discord, I just want to make sure you know that if there's anything I can do to– uh, umm, are you eating... paper?

Discord: [gulp] Am I? Huh, how odd of me. [chews]

Fluttershy: Well, um... I'm just heading out, so you just make yourself at home while I'm gone.

Discord: Buh-bye, have a nice time! Everything is fine here. Bye bye... Bye bye...

[door shuts]

Discord: You like carrots, Angel? I'm playing your owner for a fool! [laughs] How d'ya like them carrots?

Angel: [screams]

Discord: [snaps fingers]

[pages turning]

Twilight Sparkle: That's weird. The spell I had in mind isn't in here. Spike, where are the other books I asked you to pull?

Spike: Right here, Twilight.

Twilight Sparkle: I really want to have a reforming spell up and running pronto.

Spike: But what if he makes the Elements of Harmony disappear like he did last time?

Twilight Sparkle: Princess Celestia cast a spell protecting them, remember? Uh-oh.

[books thudding]

Spike: What's wrong?

Twilight Sparkle: Princess Celestia didn't cast a spell protecting our books! Everywhere I thought I'd find the reforming spell... [gasps]

[rumbling]

Discord: [eating] Are you sure this isn't overdoing it? You said to make myself at home while you were gone, but I wouldn't want to overstep my bounds.

Rose Light: Nngh... I did say that, so... if this makes you more comfortable... by all means, please feel free.

Discord: Oh. Well, it does, very much so. You're so very kind, my friend Fluttershy and my dear Rose Light. I always knew that you were the understanding one, not like those nasty friends of yours.

Angel: [Wilhelm scream]

Fluttershy: [gasps] My friends aren't nasty!

Discord: Well, of course you'd say that. It just goes to show how understanding you truly are. You know, I think Princess Celestia is right when she singled you two out as the ones who could reform me. You two are off to such a good start, I'm seriously considering actually being reformed. [under previous: blows raspberry]

Twilight Sparkle: Fluttershy and Rose! Fluttershy and Rose, can you hear me?

Rose Light: Goodness! I hear Twilight!

Twilight Sparkle: Fluttershy and Rose, what's going on? Are you okay?!

Fluttershy: We're fine. Everything's going great. Isn't it, Angel?

Angel: [chitters dizzily]

Twilight Sparkle: We've come to get you two away from Discord! He's just terrible and, from the looks of it, completely out of control!

Rose Light: Oh, but you're wrong! We're making great progress!

Twilight Sparkle and Spike: Seriously?!

Fluttershy: I'm earning his trust by giving him a little space to be himself.

Spike: Hate to break it to ya, but he used that "space to be himself" to tear out all the reforming spells from the library!
