The 5 non-genies of the Elements break off their huddle at last. They have decided upon their next idea, following up on what Pinkie and Rarity had planned together shortly before Fluttershy’s genification. The group gave themselves time to think it over first, as they didn’t want to make the same mistake they did with the New Element of Kindness wish. They came to the conclusion that it shouldn’t upset Fluttershy to just try to wish them here. If who they have in mind listens to them, then they’ll have their failsafe for turning things back to normal.

The elements with Twilight leading walk back up to Starlight, a bit of renewed hope in their eyes. “Ok, Starlight… we have our next wish…”

Starlight smirks “Excellent, Princess. What do you have in mind next?~”

“We wish that the draconequus Discord was transported here!” Twilight determinedly said.

That actually takes Starlight off guard. “Oh no… I can’t believe I forgot about him…”

Starlight grimaced. Of all the things for her to forget, her plans would be all doomed if Discord were to be at the beck and call of the remaining five. Discord himself is pretty much at least on-par if not automatically better at magic then any genie simply because of his years of experience of using chaos magic.

While she could just twist the wish to not bring the real Discord here, she realizes that eventually she’d have to confront him anyway. Meaning for Geniequestria to continue, she has to convince him that a world of genies would be more beneficial to him. She does briefly consider just telling him that he’d be free to do whatever chaos he wants because every genie will be able to do some of the same. But at the same time, Starlight doesn’t know Discord enough. Maybe Discord would prefer being the only one with this kind of power, Starlight also isn’t aware of just how close he is to the Mane 6. Unaware of his particular favoritism towards Fluttershy, and wonders if any of the other 5 may be close enough to have his ear in turning things back.

Either way, she feels like she may have just poorly miscalculated too early about being so confident of Geniequestria coming into fruition. Perhaps she shouldn’t have entrapped herself into this game she started so quickly. But it was too late for that now. She lowers her head and sighs. “Do I… really have to?”

Rainbow Dash laughs “Hahahahaha! You were so confident in your victory! Now that you have to face the Lord of Chaos, suddenly you look scared don’tcha?” The fear on Starlight’s face gives hope to the non-genies of the Elements, Twilight even manages a confident smirk. “You forcefully signed us up for this game, don’t you turn your back on it now. You promised you’d allow us ANY wish~”

Starlight grumbles. But then sighs once more “Fine… I’m a mare of my word…”. She reluctantly charges up her horn and envisions bringing the lord of chaos to this very spot. She expects it to happen soon, though oddly nothing seems to be really happening. After about a few minutes, Starlight actually starts legitimately trying as hard as she can to bring Discord just to prove she can do it. But oddly, it seems it’s not possible for her.

“What’s the matter, Starlight? Too chicken to actually go through with bringing him here~” Rainbow Dash mocks

Though Starlight just responds sincerely “No… I’m actually really trying to… but he won’t! I don’t know why I can’t…” She starts to think of why this wouldn’t work. Perhaps Discord himself felt the pull of her teleportation but with him being of a similar power level. Just refuses to be brought over here, for whatever reason. Though there is another possibility that Starlight fears more, that Discord is just TOO powerful for even a genie to summon.

The cyan pegasus scoffs “Likely story! You just don’t want to bring him here!”

“Listen here, you COCKY birdbrai-“ Starlight’s temper flares before she’s tapped on the shoulder. “WHAT?!” She turns around to see it’s Fluttershy.

“Calm down now, Starlight. Take a deeeeeeeeep breath. Keep calm and collected…” Starlight has a few more rather angry breaths, before she does indeed listen to Fluttershy by closing her eyes. Taking a deep breath in, and then exhaling. While she was still a little upset, she did already feel a bit better. Though she doesn’t think deep breaths are going to make the current situation any easier.

“Now listen to me, Starlight… I know a way to bring Discord here.” Starlight raises an eyebrow “How do you have this special way to call for him? And uh… if a wish isn’t even going to work… maybe I should just consider it impossible to do… and just move on!”.

“Nonsense, Starlight… I want Discord to see the new me anyway” Starlight grimaces, as the rest of the elements cheer. “Ha! Maybe Fluttershy really is helping us!” Which does actually arise some anger from Starlight. “No… you’re not betraying me again, are you?!”.

Fluttershy then leans in toward Starlight’s ear to whisper. “You don’t have to worry… I know exactly what will convince him to stay out of your way~”. Starlight’s initial fearful anger that Fluttershy was turning on her again quickly disappears, which immediately puts worry on just what Fluttershy just whispered to Starlight.

“Wait… Fluttershy… you aren’t… going to GENIFY Discord are you?!” Twilight suddenly worried about that possibility.

Fluttershy just shakes her head. “Nah, Discord’s already pretty much immortal and genie-level powerful. Besides, if Starlight can’t even bring him here. I’m not sure genification would even work on him at all” That does come as a relief to Twilight, though she’s still curious about what Fluttershy just whispered to Starlight. “…Just what did you say to Starlight, then?”

Fluttershy just winks “You’ll find out in a little moment~”

“Fluttershy, darling. If not even Starlight or any of the other genies can summon Discord, how do you think you can?” Rarity asked.

“It’s quite simple, actually. Just a little bit of instant long-distance communication!” Fluttershy smiled

Twilight puts a hoof to her chin, there’s only one kind of communication that comes to mind like this “You mean like when I send scrolls to Princess Celestia via Spike’s magic fire?”

Fluttershy nods slightly “Sort of, though this was entirely invented by Discord himself. And it doesn’t send a physical item to the intended recipient. Instead, it projects a magic screen where you can read magic messages from those you added to your buddy list. And it has magic knobs similar to our typewriters. Unlike your letters to Princess Celestia, this can do more than just correspondence. You can actually have near instant text conversations with anyone you have in your buddy list, from pretty much anywhere in the world!”

Just about every pony listening is rather fascinated. Both genies and non-genies alike, though Twilight in particular is rather taken by the idea. “Wow! That sounds amazing actually, that’d be pretty revolutionary for our society to be able to talk to those from far away like this. Did Discord have a name for this? And how long has this existed?”

“I think Discord is going with the name DisChaos. I know that’s obviously a self-indulgent name on his part, but it does also cleverly pun off the word “discuss”. As for when it was created, it’s relatively recent. Only a select few picked by Discord himself was given access, and I of course was one of them. But he did say just a few days ago that he was soon ready to start spreading access to any pony in Equestria who wants it” Fluttershy explained

“Admittedly, I wasn’t too sure about going on it myself. But he said I wouldn’t have to get in contact with every pony who currently has it. It’d be just him and me, so he could ease me into it slowly. Although, now that I’m feeling much more confident after being genified. I might be interested in helping him give access to others myself, and having at least a few more friends to talk to on it” Fluttershy’s friends think about potentially at least trying this out when they have a free moment.

“Maybe we’ll each at least make an account sometime later just to try it.. But for now, I think you should ask Discord to get to Ponyville” Twilight suggested

Fluttershy nods “Exactly what I was about to do, Twilight”

“So how do you activate it?” Twilight asked

Fluttershy explains “It’s entirely magical, so for unicorns and/or Alicorns like you. It should be as easy as accessing it within your mind from your brain via your horn. For pegasi and earth ponies, it requires some kind of magic bracelet created by Discord to use it. Though now that I think about it, I left my bracelet back at the cottage…”

“Oh no, should one of us try to go fetch it… if Starlight will even let us do it…” Twilight frowns knowing they’re still a little blockaded by Starlight’s genie army.

Fluttershy shakes her head “That shouldn’t be necessary, yet another perk of being a genie… I should have easy access to it like unicorns and alicorns would.”

“Oh… well…” Twilight frowns as Fluttershy’s glowing opinion of being a genie still gives her conflicting thoughts.

Fluttershy closes her eyes, then rears up on her hindlegs and makes her forelegs glow. A magic screen projects from Fluttershy’s hooves, showing a dark gray background and white text. Fluttershy’s buddy list shows up the moment it’s activated. As Fluttershy mentioned, it only has one buddy on there, Discord himself who had a circular picture of himself as his icon. Fluttershy then moves a hoof, on the screen a cursor can be seen following the movement of Fluttershy’s hoof, she moves the cursor over Discord’s name in the list. She then gently pushes her hoof once as to click, loading a new screen that shows the most recent messages from her past conversation with Discord on the magical service.

The ponies watching Fluttershy from behind her are rather intrigued. They stay back though as to not intrude, The text is too small from where they are for them to know what Fluttershy and Discord talked about before. Most of Discord and Fluttershy’s past conversation was just Fluttershy giving her thoughts on DisChaos thus far. Anything else was Discord posting silly picture of animals with caption texts to them with Fluttershy either replying with amused laughter, or just enthusiastic squee’ing at how cute the animal was in the picture. Even from a little ways they could read the text on the images, Rainbow even chuckles a little “Heh, Is that a cat saying ‘can I haz hayburger?’”

Fluttershy turns her head back towards Rainbow and smiles “Yeah, Discord likes to send me amusing images like this. He likes to call these kinds of pictures… meeps. He tells me meeps don’t necessarily have to be animal pictures, but ones of animals he’s either made himself or from a few others he knows are usually shared to me.” Rainbow puts a hoof to her chin, wondering what kind of meeps she would post.

Fluttershy then starts turning the 2 dials, pressing them down when she wants to type those letters down to start contacting Discord.

Fluttershy then collapses the screen and smiles before the rest of her friends. “So… is Discord coming?” Twilight asked

Fluttershy nods “Yep, he’ll be here in a jiffy. Just going to be a short wait before he does”

“Ah hope he fixes this whole mess fo’ us…” Applejack bluntly says.

Twilight sighs “Even if he does, I feel like there’s going to be something we’ll have to do in return for him… but I guess anything Discord would have us do is better than what Starlight is forcing on all of Equestria…”

Starlight herself is a bit too nervous to even retort to Twilight as the inevitably of Discord coming in soon. A crystal pony genie approaches Starlight and nudges her on the shoulder. “Starlight, do you want us to prepare to attack Discord once he gets here? There’s a chance we can overwhelm him together…”

Starlight shakes her head “No, that will only make the situation worse. Attacking him will only make sure he’ll do everything he can to stop my plans. With a being as powerful as Discord… if there’s any possible room for us to come to some sort of diplomatic agreement to not get in each other’s way. We’ll take it… the problem is Discord is the lord of chaos. Who knows what he’ll want… and if he could just decide he wants something different… or even alter the deal altogether…”

Fluttershy walks on up to Starlight and whispers “You’d be surprised how easy it is to satisfy Discord. You’ve actually already guaranteed he won’t get in your way”

“Really…? Are you sure about that, Fluttershy?” Starlight whispers back. Unsure if she can believe Discord could actually just go along with her plans with little in return, especially if he’s purportedly an ally of Twilight’s.

Fluttershy nods “Mmhmm, allow me to take care of everything”

Starlight just tilts her head, a little confused at what just what Fluttershy means. But she shrugs her shoulders as she waits to see just what Fluttershy will do about Discord. She’s still a little confused on what exactly is Fluttershy’s alignment. She’s a genie now and she absolutely loves it, but she’s also sternly refused an order from her. Now at the suggestion of her friends, she’s inviting over a being that has the power to make Starlight’s goals far more difficult, but just now she assured her that she’s already managed to make sure he won’t stop her.

A question arises on both Twilight and Starlight’s mind at this moment: Who’s side was Fluttershy on, exactly?

But before they can get too deep in thought, a bright white flash appears. Discord had finally arrived in Ponyville.

The non-genies of the Elements quickly run up to him. “Discord! I’m so glad you’re here!” Twilight says to the just appearing draconequus.

Discord raises an eyebrow, that’s actually a bit odd of Twilight to say. She’s almost NEVER glad to see him. “Who are you, and where is the real Twilight?! You’re not all changelings or something are you? Did we skip a season’s script?”

“Huh? No! This is the real me, Discord!” Twilight tried to assure him, as she also ignores Discord’s last question

“If you’re the real Twilight… What was my little small request when I was sick?” Discord quizzed the princess

Twilight sighs, and in an annoyed tone she said “A teeny, tiny, glass of water…” a cup of water then poofs up above Twilight’s head and is spilled on her head. Twilight just sits there unamused with Discord’s test

“Correct! So you really are her then… still, I’m quite surprised you said that at all. Something must be going on…”

“Ya’ll bet somethin’s goin’ on! Just look around us!” Applejack directed Discord to see the genie army surrounding them.

Discord seems a bit unfazed at first “So you’re having a harem dancer themed party, what’s that got to do with me?”

“Discord! This is serious! We’re surrounded by an army of actual genies. They’re led by the same mare we told you about that ran an Equality cult, and she wants to transform every pony in Equestria into genies like her! We can’t even use the elements right now, because she transformed Fluttershy!” Twilight puts emphasis on Fluttershy, knowing full well of Discord’s attachment to her.

Discord was taking a drink of another glass of water as Twilight was speaking, when Twilight mentioned that Starlight has transformed Fluttershy. He spit takes… right into Twilight’s face. Who sighs in a very annoyed tone, as she again wipes the water off her face and shakes herself to get any more water and spit off her.

“Fluttershy’s a genie?!” He looks around for his favorite pony in the whole world and once he spots her. He teleports right next to her. “Are you doing ok? If you didn’t want this to happen, just say the word. I can lock up this genie mastermind to many select places, where she’ll be locked up tight in whatever vessel she calls home…” Starlight about gulps hearing that, though she notes that Discord seems to indeed have a particular attachment to Fluttershy.

Fluttershy just giggles and shakes her head. “Nah, don’t worry Discord. I actually really love this, this is the big change I was hinting at on DisChaos! With this lovely attire, I also got magical power beyond my wildest dreams! Now we both have reality warping powers”

Discord is instantly intrigued. “Ooooooooooh, really? Tell me more…”

Seeing where this is going Twilight calls out “Discord! Don’t listen to her! We… don’t know the extent exactly… but Fluttershy might at least be slightly brainwashed!”

“I object!” Starlight raises her hoof and is about to explain more, but then Discord puts his mismatched hands on his cheeks “OOOOOOOOOH I’ve always wanted to try to be a judge!” Discord then snaps his fingers and in an instant, a courtroom appears with Starlight on the left side of the court, and Twilight on the right. Fluttershy is on the witness stand as the “defendant” while every pony else from the rest of Twilight’s non-genified friends and the Crystal Pony genies

“DISCOOOOOOOORDDDDD! There’s no time for your silly shenanigans! We need these genies back to normal now!” Twilight demanded of Discord

“Oh come now, Twilight. If you’re the smarty-smart pony you think you are, you should have an advantage over Starlight in a court of law!” Discord bangs his gavel, which is actually a squeaky hammer

“This isn’t a court of law! The fate of Equestria may entirely rest on your shoulders!” Twilight slammed a hoof down on her desk

Then Discord had a rather naughty idea to get Twilight involved. “I suppose you have no case then, I can adjudicate in favor of Starlight right now if you don’t have anything~” Starlight outright left laughing on her side of the court that Discord is playing around with Twilight

Twilight grimaces, and angrily grumbles at Discord. “FINE! I’ll play it your way…”

“GREAT! Now, each of you gets a statement to plead your case. Starlight will make her argument for why I shouldn’t stop her, and then Twilight will make her case of why I should help things get back to the status quo!” Starlight nods, while Twilight grumbles again about being forced to do this.

Meanwhile, in the crowd. Rainbow noticed the positions of Starlight and Twilight. “Say, why is Starlight sitting where the defense prosecutor normally is? Isn’t the defense attorney usually the hero in these kinds of things?”

A genie Crystal pony mare “Well, Starlight’s a hero to us! She defeated the Storm King before our very eyes!”

“Does a hero really choose to turn every pony into genies against their will?!” Rainbow retorted back to them. Which then a heavy amount of squeaks from Discord’s toy gavel are heard. “Hey now! While it might be a bit ironic for me to say, please tone down the CHAOS in the gallery! Starlight, please state your case”

Starlight smirks and takes a big breath before beginning her statement. “Discord… While I understand you are friends with Twilight and the others here. Surely… you realize that with Equestria as it was, they are not accepting of your chaotic antics. Princesses Celestia & Luna put you in stone for a little more than a millennia, and even after the former chose to let you free… every pony you come across is annoyed anytime you do anything you remotely see as fun and demand of you to stop it. If we are in a world of genies however, every pony will have just about equal powers on your level. Other ponies could actually partake in your favorite things to do with the kind of power you have, or at the very least your magic will at most be a minor annoyance. Because us genies could simply teleport elsewhere and/or clean up your mess as soon as you’re done in seconds, if some of us don’t want to join in on your fun.

You nearly gave Equestria away to Tirek because he promised you could start having your own fun again. If you let me reach my goals, not only will I let you do whatever you want. Unlike that ugly red Centaur, I would not break the promise and betray you. As Fluttershy mentioned earlier, you may as well already be an honorary genie.

In short, if you return things to how they are. Your antics will remain shunned by those of your so-called friends. But in Geniequestria… your type of fun would be more then welcome here!”

Discord puts a claw to his chin to think this over. Starlight was right that Discord still partly didn’t feel respected enough by most ponies other than Fluttershy. The kind of thinking that convinced him to trust Tirek. And with many pony genies either joining him on the fun, or just allowing him to have his fun. He could really be himself again without feeling like he has to cater to friends who don’t let him have as much fun as he’d like to. Even Twilight frowned, as she realized those are pretty good points for Discord to let Geniequestria happen. Starlight would be less cruel and/or smarter then Tirek to even think of betraying Discord.

As Discord is still thinking, Twilight slams a hoof on her desk. “Now it’s my turn!” The sound of the desk slam snaps Discord out of his deep thoughts. “Oh yes, go ahead Twilight. State your case on why I should return things back to the way it was.”

Twilight nods, and prepares her own argument. “Discord, Starlight is misleading you when she says that your fun will now be more accepted. Why do you think their minds have changed about your antics? Simply because they have powers on par with you? No, I think there’s a high possibility it’s a little more than that… that genifications make them tolerate more than they would have before. Meaning in truth, the genified ponies are not the same as they were prior to becoming genies. They’ve been brainwas-

“OBJECTION!” Starlight outbursts, basically continuing to how it was before Discord decided to create this sudden courtroom out of nowhere.

“Overruled, miss Glimmer! Let Twilight finish her statement first, THEN you can have at it. Any further interruptions may push me towards Twilight’s side” Starlight reluctantly puts her hoof down, grumbling.

“As I was saying, and may I at least point out that Starlight’s outburst might be her trying to hide that truth from us. When we blasted Sugar Belle with the elements, she reacted in a similar fashion to someone would from a withdrawal to an addiction. That certainly sounds like to me it’s not as perfect as Starlight makes it out to be. Starlight may not betray you in the way that Tirek did, but she may very well still be lying to you in that ponies are changed. I know you love your fits of chaotic fun, but is that really worth letting your friends be even slightly changed into something they’re not?” Twilight pauses briefly to make Discord think it over a little before continuing on

“I also have one more thing to say in regard to your experience with Tirek. You acknowledged that you made a huge mistake back then trusting him. You’ve since vowed that you wouldn’t be fooled like that ever again. This can be your one chance to make up for all that, Celestia wanted us to free you from the statue. Perhaps situations like this are what you were destined to stop, as an emergency when the Elements have become useless. If it helps any further, the credit you’d get for saving Equestria would at least have the effect that we’d be more tolerant to your magic WITHOUT having to have our minds twisted to do so.

Wouldn’t you rather have a way to have your fun as you’re hailed a hero of Equestria, or do you really want the guilty conscience of having traded your friends’ free will and any remaining ounce of respect we have, for your selfish desires?”

Discord’s about speechless, Twilight brought up some pretty good points too. Nervous sweat falls on his face as he actually hadn’t thought how deep this choice could go. There’s no way he could just decide right now.

Starlight then raises her hoof “May I give a rebuttal to Twilight’s statement just now?”

Discord is still in deep thought just trying to mull the pros and cons of each of Starlight and Twilight’s arguments. Starlight then slams her own desk and exclaims “DISCORD!” which snaps him out.

After he shakes his head he replies “Oh… Sorry. What did you say again, Miss Glimmer?”

Starlight sighed “I said… may I give a rebuttal to Twilight’s statement just now?”

Discord nods “Yes of course…. anything to make sure I have a little more time to think this over…”

“Thank you…” Starlight then sternly turns in Twilight’s direction. “I have to say I’m shocked, Princess… I’m shocked you’d even bring up the idea of brainwashing in front of Discord… since if I recall correctly… it was YOU who considered using a “reform” spell during the time you and your friends were tasked to make him an ally from Princess Celestia… let’s say… just purely hypothetically of course… that there is brainwashing involved here… why is it ok for YOU to consider it an option, but not any pony else? Your blatant hypocrisy is as annoying as your inflated ego about how important your friendships are to Equestria…”

“There’s a huge difference between what I knew about Discord back then, and every single pony in Equestria… at the time we let him out, he still had a reputation as a conniving villain who was in charge of a world of chaos during his reign, I wasn’t confident in any of our efforts to do anything else that wouldn’t just have Discord laugh at us all. Heck, I’m not even sure if the reform spells would have even worked. Had I known beforehand there was a possibility of naturally reforming him as Fluttershy did, I wouldn’t have considered it. At the time, I thought it was the only option!”

“Then what if I said Geniequality was MY only option to achieving my goals, huh? Would it be hypothetically justified too?”

“No! Because you’re transforming an entire nation against their will! Discord regardless of his power, is one being, a being with an infamous track record! The scope in your plan includes completely innocent ponies!”

As Twilight and Starlight are still arguing, Discord as well as Fluttershy just stare wide-eyed as the arguing continues on.

“Innocent ponies that just don’t know all the perks of my gift of genification yet! It’s not exactly the easiest thing to explain, you know, when you ask ponies to allow themselves to be sucked into a vessel when all they know is the stereotype made up by stories that only limited the genie for narrative purposes! If the genie from Aladdin was like us genies, the story would have been way different! It’s something that some have to experience for themselves to fully understand…”

“Then why don’t you only transform ponies that you can manage to WILLINGLY become genies?!”

“As if you’d let that happen! You only want less ponies to change back. And besides… you all know that I seek EQUALITY! it’d be a zero-sum situation if I only genified the minority that would want to be genies… cause if I left it to only the willing. It’d mostly benefit the greedy ponies who would want the power for themselves. This would not match with my ideal of equality at all, every pony in Equestria should have the joys of genification. That still includes some of the greedy, but in a world where every pony is a genie. They can’t take advantage of any other, cause EVERYPONY can give themselves everything they want! There wouldn’t be rich or poor anymore, nor a talent gap…

And this wouldn’t be a situation where 'If every pony is a X, then no pony is' Because there’s near unlimited possibilities that would be up to each and every individual genie!”

“If your goal is equality, then you have better options then turning ponies into genies! You could literally have some pony just wish every pony is equal right now in some fashion! Why not do that instead?”

“Because, princess… no matter who some pony is… they gain something from it. Even the already gifted. It’s the polar opposite of what I did in Our Town when I took everypony’s talents. Shouldn’t you praise me for learning from my mistake?

“That doesn’t change the fact that there’s no way you would have done this if you were ONLY genified and nothing more! The lamp absorbed Sombra’s Crystal of Corruption. YOU YOURSELF are corrupted to think up this extreme plan when you wouldn’t have planned this otherwise!”

“I seem to recall that it was YOU that sucked that crystal into the lamp! If I am corrupted myself, fine, but that wouldn’t have been my doing. And don’t think that not knowing what the lamp was actually doing will help you, I have to imagine that being desperate enough to use an item clearly labeled to be too dangerous for any mere pony to use will be looked upon fondly upon. For all those years building yourself to be the smart one, and yet you ironically didn’t read when you probably should have…”

“If you’re conceding that you might be corrupted, then you know this is wrong!”

“Yes, it was YOUR wrong doing. That I myself shall turn into the ulti-“

“SHUUUUUUUUT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPP!” Fluttershy couldn’t take it anymore, and from the look on Discord’s face. Neither could he. This argument was found to go nowhere, and it’d be difficult to see if it would ever end because each has a point in their favor, but not the decisive evidence to confirm or deny either view on what genification does to ponies.

“You two aren’t going to find the answer just continuously arguing like this! And it’s also driven us off-topic! Discord asked for each of you to give a case, but it quickly devolved into yet another of your squabbles between each other!” Fluttershy sternly turned towards both benches.

“Well… to be fair, Fluttershy… I gave them the opportunity to do so… I just didn’t realize how nuanced this whole thing actually was… on both sides…” Discord admitted

“Then allow me to give perhaps a more important account than any other, and I don’t need this stuffy courtroom to say what I want to say…” Fluttershy claps her hooves, and immediately a magic shockwave goes across the room that makes the courtroom disappear. Just like that, they’re back to where they were on Ponyville.

“I had forgotten how stress-inducing courtrooms can be… Good call to get us out of there, Fluttershy. Even as the judge, it's frightening…” Discord throws his toy gavel away, making a loud squeak when it hits a nearby house.

Before Fluttershy can give her own thoughts Twilight approaches “Wait, Fluttershy… what are you going to tell Discord… I know you’re a genie, you’re likely to want him to go with Starlight’s direction, but even you gotta understand that this isn’t necessarily what me and the others want…”

Fluttershy nods “I understand both you and Starlight’s views on the matter. But as far as I know, Discord’s just not going to be swayed by either of you. It’s my turn to give him my own view on all this. Discord needs… to hear… what my very heart is telling me is right to do…”

Discord raised an eyebrow “Y-y-your heart? What in the name of Celestia do you mean by that?”

Fluttershy winked and put her eyes in a half-lidded expression “Oh… you’ll know soon… but first… I need you to HOLD IT!”

“But we’re out of the courtroom, and you’ve already given your surprise statement.”

“No, I meant LITERALLY hold it… as in… hold my vessel…” Fluttershy stretches out a fore hoof and poofs her vessel into Discord’s mismatched hands.

The draconequus looks down on it, and seems quite impressed with the design. “Very ornately crafted!”

“Now what I’m going to do next, is enter it, then I want you to take off the stopper shortly after I’m fully inside” Fluttershy instructed

Discord has no idea what purpose this is supposed to serve. “But why?”

“I’m going to give you a fraction of what my genie hood means for you, and showing you how we emerge will add all the more flair to it~”

“Well, ok… if you say so…”

Fluttershy gently smiles and then flies up into the air not too far from above the bottle. She floats the stopper off and gives it to Discord. “You hang on to this while I place myself in. Close it on top of me once I’m completely inside, and allow me just a few seconds before opening it up again. Got it?”

Discord simply nods

“Good! Now allow me to slide in~” As instructed, Discord puts the topper off. A few seconds later, Fluttershy’s body begins to shift and wave about. Her pony tail and hindlegs quickly moved together. As with her original genification, the moment her hooves reach the vessel’s entrance she once again feels that same rush of pleasure intense enough to calm the at the time fearful pony. Now that she has nothing to fear, she enjoys every last second of this moment. Discord just stares wide-eyed at the sight of Fluttershy quite clearly enjoying herself while going inside.

Fluttershy softly coos as the rest of her body follows suit, loud moaning is heard once again as she’s near to being fully bottled. It’s not long before her head fully funnels into the vessel.

Discord blinks, not sure what he just witnessed, but he also listens to Fluttershy’s other instructions to seal her with the topper. And then waits a few seconds, before opening it up again. Discord can feel the vessel heat up, though he’s not one to be too concerned about being burnt should it get too hot. As Discord has plenty of methods to reduce physical pain at the snap of his fingers. Though even at its maximum heat, it doesn’t really burn at the touch anyway, for the vessel is just a really comfortable sort of warm. Enough to melt some snow around it, but otherwise could feasibly be held the entire time a genie comes out of it.

Discord gets to see what Twilight and her friends saw earlier, the same pale yellow smoke rising and spiraling out of the vessel with pink sparks popping all around it. The show of Fluttershy’s release puts even Discord in awe. Though what catches Discord particularly by surprise is it starts swirling around him before it hooks around to a place not far in front of and slightly above him when Fluttershy’s silhouette starts being formed, the mare fully fading in. When Fluttershy is fully revealed again, she’s looking down at Discord with half-lidded eyes and a gentle smile. Fluttershy’s smoky half while still tailed to the vessel in Discord’s claw hand is also snaking around the draconequus’s body. It felt odd, but it was like Fluttershy was hugging him softly in multiple areas. As the parts of the smoky tail that are touching his body move, Discord can feel a subtle massaging feeling that makes him feel a bit more relaxed.

“Whoa… I had no idea genie tails made such good massages… but is this all you wanted to show me?” Discord wondered

“Of course not~. This is only a taste of things you and I can do… I may have already told you that I love being a genie… but I have a few reasons you’ll want to at least keep me this way…”

“Such as…” Discord curious as to where Fluttershy is going with

“First off. I’m so much more confident then I was before… I’ve gotten slowly better over the years, but the moment I became a genie, I felt just about all remaining insecurities just wash away… I felt like I could do anything… including… the next thing I want to say, that very much relates to you~” Fluttershy gently puts a hoof below Discord’s chin.

Discord blushes, and sheepishly looks side to side. He’s starting to wonder if Fluttershy is taking this where he thinks it’s going. But doesn’t blurt it out in case he’s wrong. “And… what would that be?”

Fluttershy smirks and puts her face closer to Discord’s eye. “I think it’s about time… we had a date for ourselves soon…”

Discord gasps and his blush intensifies “WAIT, REALLY?!” There’s also a gasp from the other Elements who didn’t even know Fluttershy felt THAT way towards Discord.

“I’ve actually thought about asking you properly in the past year or so… but I wasn’t quite that confident yet.I managed to keep it a secret… even from my closest pony friends… though partly because of what you did with Tirek… complicating things… which didn’t help my confidence much…

But now… I don’t care if my friends know, I don’t care if all of Equestria knows… I love you, Discord. And I’m so happy that my transformation into a genie cleared all remaining insecurities within me, to finally tell you my true feelings for you…”

Discord’s mouth just goes agape, though soon his eyes start watering as he is filled with joy that Fluttershy feels this way for him. Though he fake coughs to set himself straight before saying something of his own. “Fluttershy… First of all, I’m so proud of you sharing your feelings for me… I admit I’ve probably never gave away my feelings for yo-“

“I already know you feel the same, Discord” Fluttershy smirks, raises an eyebrow, and boops Discord on the snout

“…Wait what?! How?”

“Don’t think I don’t remember when you were jealous of Tree Hugger when I didn’t choose you to be my +1 at the previous Gala. That’s actually another reason I didn’t ask you out sooner, you acted a little too possessive of me. You needed to learn a lesson or two before I officially committed to a relationship with you.”

Discord rubs the back of his head sheepishly with his lion paw hand “I… guess that’s fair…”

“I will have to tell you that you probably still… have a few problematic flaws that I worry a little about dating you, but at least as a genie. We’ll be on equal ground in terms of magic power to fix anything up. And let’s just say… we’ll have ALL of eternity with each other to figure things out from here~” Fluttershy puts some emphasis on the word eternity.

“All of.. e… etern… ETERNITY? WITH FLUTTERSHY?!” Discord felt like punching himself for not realizing what a world with a Genie Fluttershy means. Fluttershy is now as immortal as he is! Discord never really liked to dwell on it, but he was aware that Fluttershy was as mortal as any regular pony, so it did somewhat haunt him of the inevitable day she passes. But if she’s a genie, then that’s no longer a concern. And the fact that Fluttershy secretly felt the same way for him as he did her… he no longer cared if Twilight was 100% right. For if an eternity by Fluttershy’s side is wrong, then he didn’t want to be right! Though he is at least a little comforted that Starlight brought up great points during the “trial”.

Fluttershy flies around Discord to unwrap herself off her, so Discord can give his final decision

“That settles it! I’ve made my decision, everypony!” Twilight frowned, having heard Discord and Fluttershy’s sudden confession of love. That feels like Discord’s going to once again be on the villain’s side.

“I will at least say… that I will not do anything to help Starlight spread the genies…” That fills Twilight and her friends with some last remaining hope that he will help in some kind. Maybe he’d only leave Fluttershy ungenified as a compromise perhaps. Starlight frowns, just about thinking about that possibility too

“…However, I will also do nothing to STOP them either!” The non-genified elements aside from Rarity go mouth agape in horror. Starlight actually reacts in a bit of surprise, and actually reacts in relief and decides to just sit rather than immediately gloat. There’s probably time for that soon, but because this was such a moment she was really worried everything was going to crumble. She soon walks on over to her Crystal pony genie army who might have been the same fears of Discord reversing their genie hoods.

“WHAT?! Discord! No! We need you to stop her! What if… what if we let you reverse every pony BUT Fluttershy…” Twilight just left to desperately bargaining now.

Fluttershy then flies toward Twilight while still tailed and crosses her hooves “In case you’ve forgotten, Twilight. I’m not the only one that loves being a genie, and I remember what happened to Sugar Belle when we ungenified her with the Elements. Who’s to say the same wouldn’t happen if Discord reversed everything? As the Element of Kindness, I deem it kinder to leave others already genified that way. As I’d rather not see more ponies left desperate and mind-broken as Sugar Belle was”

Rainbow Dash retorts “But then you’re being unkind to us that DON’T want to become genies!”

Fluttershy tilts her head from side-to-side admitting that’s a little true “Yeah… perhaps… but I did already say that I’d like you girls to become genies too one day. So from that point of view, it seems like I’m on Starlight’s side in some fashion, and I can see how you’d feel I’m being unkind to you girls… but I do believe now that it is far kinder to give the powers and pleasurable feelings of genification to a pony then it is to take it away. I’d love to be the one to genify you girls myself, just so you could fully understand. But I’ll let Starlight have it her way, gives me more time to teach her some kindness in the meantime.”

“Can… Can she even be taught the cores of friendship…? Wait… no… that’s a stupid question… the information on that crystal implied Luna may have been under it’s influence when she became Nightmare Moon… so of course she can… but since we’re without the elements… can it really be done now?” Twilight sadly wondered.

“I myself don’t actually know for sure, but while I will probably be genifying ponies myself. I do agree with you at the very least that Starlight needs to change”

“Ah have no idea what’s goin’ on in yer’ head, Fluttershy… but lemme get this straight… you still want Geniequestria to come into fruition… but you’re only going to genify those you want to… and you believe Starlight needs to learn more about friendship? It’s like… it’s like…

“…She’s still an Element of Harmony, despite being a genie?” Rarity finished Applejack’s statement

“…Yeah, exactly” Applejack realized

“Heh heh, I wasn’t lying when I mentioned to Starlight that was the case” Fluttershy smirked and winked

“Still… I gotta admit it’s hard to get a good read on you, Fluttershy… I… can never ever view you as an enemy… but how am I supposed to take your pro-Geniequestria stance…? Pinkie must be deva-“ Twilight is interrupted

“No, Twilight… I pretty much knew this would happen…” Pinkie Pie said in a sad tone. “It’s why I fought so hard to make sure Fluttershy wasn’t the first one of us genified… if it was any pony else… we could have still had Fluttershy to plead her case to Discord… we didn’t treat Discord well enough to be able to convince him ourselves… and that’s on us… we literally had a 5/6th chance of still having a shot at turning things back… but… I blew it…” Pinkie lowered her head, sobbing into her hooves again.

It’s at this point that despite having understandable reasons for being angry at Discord, every one of the non-genies of the Elements just sighs and lets it be. As while it’s true that since Discord isn’t going to help them, it’s partly their fault that they couldn’t have gotten close enough to Discord. And Discord's point of view, not wanting to reverse things because it’d promise Fluttershy would be together with him as a fellow immortal reality warper, has its noble intentions.

“Well, Fluttershy dear… I think I must be heading back home. But we can schedule our first date on DisChaos soon! Oh, and if any of you girls are interested in joining my magical program, feel free to ask Fluttershy to hook you up with an account” Discord informs the rest of the elements

Fluttershy tilts her head and smiles as she disconnects herself from the vessel in Discord’s hands to get her hindlegs and ponytail back. Once she’s on the ground, Discord hands over the vessel back to Fluttershy. “Alright, Discord! I can’t wait for our first date!”

As for the others, they’re rather reluctant to join Discord’s magical program after his decision to not help them. Though Discord knew they’d probably have some reluctance. “If it helps at all, Twilight… Princess Celestia has an account…” Which actually does get Twilight’s attention.

“Wait… Seriously?!” Discord just nodding in response to Twilight’s surprise. As much as she’d rather not deal too much with something run by Discord, having a more instant conversation with Celestia after everything that’s happened certainly interests her. Though she just shakes her head. “I’ll… ask Fluttershy at some point for access at some point then… but not yet…”

“Nice! I’ll be sure to give you a warm welcome, and the best book-related meeps you’ve ever seen once you join! For now though… arrivederci!” Discord in a bright flash teleports away leaving the Elements back to where they were at square one before Discord showed up.

“Ugh… this is getting hopeless…” Rainbow acknowledging the lack of realistic options to turning things around.

“Twi did mention she still had one mo’ idea before we give up on wishes fo’ ah little while though… mind filling us in on what that is?”

Twilight sighed “If wishing for a new Element of Harmony, nor Discord will help. The only other idea off the top of my head right now… is to bring back the ponies that originally dealt with a genie problem… The Pillars of Equestria themselves…”

whaddup!! i’m acacia (satan). i’m twenty years old, i use she/her pronouns and i hail from the pst timezone! i’m super excited to be in a lil ol’ group again because i haven’t been in one since like… idk?? but enough about me — let’s get to the good stuff aka my girl, veronica jeon. it gets pretty lengthy, so if you just want the overall version of it just scroll to the very end! anyways, if you like this, i’ll take it as an invitation to IM you for plots, so be careful!! ♡

jennie kim + cis female + she/her — have you met veronica jeon? they are a twenty-one year old artist/barista known as the philophobic. a pansexual scorpio, they are independent + bold, as well as stubborn + cynical. their soulmark is a crescent moon on the left ring finger, and they can feel the emotions of their soulmate.

BACKGROUND + TRIGGER WARNINGS: abuse, death, drugs

to kick things off, veronica grew up with just her mother around. her father had always been MIA. so, she doesn’t have a lot of memories involving him. therefore, her mother dated an array of men. often times neglecting her daughter, with the exception of the times she brought in successful report cards.

when she was thirteen, her mother married a man who physically abused veronica any chance he had. especially when mrs. jeon started cheating on him. so ronnie recoiled around her art for a few years.

being alone as an only child, she had to keep herself entertained. she started off by doodling with just a pencil. but, eventually expanded with acrylic paints and water colors. thus ultimately discovering her love for the arts!!

she isn’t exactly sure how she’s going to find a successful career path through her beloved hobby. which is why she picked up her job as a barista to make some actual cash flow.

when veronica turned sixteen, she thought of tracking down her father in hopes of reuniting with him. this lead her to her grandmother’s house. who eventually had to break the news that her father had died from a drug overdose before she was born.

though, the news was shocking. it didn’t leave her feeling empty. instead, she found something better — her grandmother. she instantly connected with the woman and eventually found herself making her grandmother’s home as a sort of safe haven.

her grandma even supported her with her arts. buying her any supplies she needed and giving her suggestions on places she can find more muse. basically fulfilling the mother role veronica desperately needed.

but one day while visiting, the woman had passed in her sleep. this took a toll on ronnie considering how attached she became to her grandmother and her home. she would have to return back to her mother’s and her step-father. when she went back, the man attempted to abuse her again. however, she ratted him out. ultimately sending him to his imprisonment.

once she turned eighteen, her mother had packed up her things and left the girl behind. though, ronnie was fazed by the woman’s actions. nor did she feel any lose considering how little she cared about the other.

but good things do happen to v! one day she received a letter explaining that she inherited her grandmother’s fortune. (which she often uses to pay off her apartment bills.) along with a small journal with letters and locations to keep veronica on the right path. to stray away from the hatred and negativity and turn those emotions into something beautiful.

PERSONALITY + RELATIONSHIPS

PERSONALITY: she is charming, creative, and witty. however, she can be quite cynical, stubborn, and reserved. she has that tell it like it is personality. she just calls it likes she sees it. even if she’s not exactly right. she’s witty and intelligent. she’s very particular when it comes to most things. she wants things done correctly. so she often runs by the quote, “if you want things right you gotta do it yourself.” she doesn’t like relying on others to get things done when she knows she could do it faster and better. a little bit of a ocd queen. she’s one of those people that set their mind to something and goes through with it until the end. she has a way with words. her silky soft voice makes it easy for her to manipulate people. (unless you’re close to her, then they can see past the bullshit.) but don’t get her talking about feelings. because you’re gonna just hear crickets if you do that. she’s sort of an introvert. over the years, veronica had to work hard to become the person she is today — someone who is hopeful, who sees art and beauty everywhere, even in the ugliest parts of the world..some days, it’s a little harder, but she never gives up. she’s slowly growing out of her tough head of hair and morphing into a young woman so beautiful over the years, but also at times, terrifying?? self destructive?? even if she’ll never let anyone see her deteriorate her insides sigh. basically she’s a hot mess. but she tries her best to hide that shit. yeye sweg.

when it comes to FRIENDS veronica can always use some of ‘em. she possess the qualities of a good friend loyal, honest, trustworthy. however, she can be quite pessimistic. which might be a reason why she doesn’t have as many friends. once her mind is set to think a certain way it’s hard to persuade her to believe otherwise. she’s the type of friend to listen to your problems, but be prepared to listen to her unwanted opinions – all of them. she’s also the type to put a friend in check when they need it. she thinks of it as trying to convince them to see the bigger picture. first impressions is something she might not be very good at. while she isn’t exactly the definition of rude, she tends to not filter then things she says. overall, i would say that she might just need a handful of friends, a whole bunch of acquaintances, and her a ride or die.

please flood her with ENEMIES. i know for a fact that she has these. being so boldly opinionated and all. you know this girl has more than enough haters. sometimes she has some very evil intentions. she’s vengeful and irrational. but, don’t get me wrong. she’s not pure evil. veronica does have some good intentions, she leans more to the chaotic evil side. deep deeeeep deeeeeeeeep down the girl is trust issue central when it comes to letting people in. she can’t help it. she has abandonment issues thanks to her parents. therefore, she might come off as standoff-ish to new people. she keeps her circle tight. so maybe they think she’s cliquey? or she could have pushed people away. she’s like that one rihanna meme, them: you can’t just cut people off. ronnie: *holds a pair of scissors* she doesn’t have problem with letting people go. so maybe people think she’s a bitch because, “how could you just drop our five year long friendship like that.” and she’d just shrug. but really, she’s hurting beyond repair and will go home crying while eating a thing of ben & jerry’s chunky monkey. and there’s always that possibility where a friendship just didn’t work out. maybe they just stopped having time for each other and now it’s just mad awk. whatever it is, an enemy would b beaut.

as for LOVERS. veronica is a fucking cynic. love ain’t real and life is cold. she’d rather just be alone and happy than in a relationship and suffering. she sees so many people around her settle for less. (her mother being a prime example of that.) especially when she’s giving advice for friends. she doesn’t think people should be so easily manipulated by the concept of love. she knows there’s a difference between wanting someone and wanting to be with someone. and in her eyes, most people only settle for the sake of companionship. it’d be a hard mission to win this girl over. but not impossible. she’s definitely been on a few dates and had a couple of relationships. though most ended quickly due to the realization she only fell for their smooth talking and nothing more. 100% dabbles in the quick hook ups for the sake of fulfilling those needs. though, if the right person were to come along… she’d be loyal to them, completely devoted to just them.

WANTED CONNECTIONS

sooooo, my lazy ass actually found the power to make a RELATIONSHIPS PAGE. peep it, tell me what you think. if you can’t find something your muse fits, throw whatever ideas you have right at me! i’m so down for whatever.

MISCELLANEOUS

in a nutshell, she’s an angel with a halo unbalanced with horns, not a devil but not a saint either?? kind yet has a backbone. softer than what she seems like. humorous and witty though understanding. mistrusting but willing to let loyalty speak. veronica is a hot mess dealing with personal issues by lashing out on those around her. she’s loyal, but manipulative. opinionated, but easily offended. intelligent, but sometimes argumentative. she’s a bit of a feminist. trusts no bitch. but if you’re her friend, she’s chill as fuck. though, she’s a bit hesitant when it comes to making new friends. since she’s likes being a lame outcast. but really — she just doesn’t know how to process her good thoughts into words. she’s a barista and a tortured artist. she’s independent, hardworking, and determined. muse inspo for her: kat stratford (10 things i hate about you), samantha borgens (stuck in love), michelle (spider-man homecoming), and a hint of blair waldorf (gossip girl). anyways, give her girl scout cookies and she’ll love you til the end of time.

congratulations ! you made it to end ! if you read all of this… i love you. i only ever write so much bc… it gets me in character lmao. also, i wrote all of this the second i woke up. so don’t mind the grammar mistakes and what not. HENNYWAYS… i would really love to plot with everyone. so just slide into my DMs and we can get things started!! luv u *blows a kiss*

#cap.intro #╰ ✧･ﾟ* LIPSTICK IN MY VALENTINO WHITE BAG ! –– ooc
