Here is an un-edited and unpolished spoiler of the next chapter to 'The Fluttercordiest', Fluffy Sleepovers!
Read at your own risk, as the spoiler/chapter contains fourth-wall breakage and FLUFF. A lot of it.
Here we go!
The fluffy Sleepover
"Discord! Get the materials for the s'mores!"
"Here!"
A plate balanced itself precariously on the end of a red snake tail, the feathery tufts of white gripping it, as if it were a hand. It swung into Fluttershy's reach, where she grabbed it out of the winding red tail. In the process, a strand of white hair was yanked off painfully, making the creature attached to the end of the tail yelp, massaging it.
" Fluttershy! You pulled my tail!" The draconequus whined, before freezing at the stare that Fluttershy shot his way. It did not have the same effect as it did on the animals, but the frustration etched in them were shocking nonetheless. The usually gentle pools of teal were burning with irate, a scowl forming on her adorable face. The Angel-Chainsaw incident still fresh in his mind, Discord shrank, literally, and meekly continued to help, stacking pillows into a pile.
Fluttershy felt a pang of guilt at forcing her friend, blinking apologetically at Discord, who was busy tossing pillows, the marshmallowy projectiles shooting mercilessly at the tall stack, which was somehow surviving the onslaught. Leaving him to conjure and throw pillows, Fluttershy raced to her little cottage's kitchen and put the s'more ingredients, arranged messily on a large platter, into the fridge door, before shoving it shut.
Sighing with relief, Fluttershy smiled, relaying the things that needed to be done for the sleepover in her mind, pleased that pillows were the last thing before her friends arrived. Now, if Discord was done creating enough pillows for a pillow fight, they would be all set and done in time for-
Fluttershy's mouth gaped open, her eyelid twitching. She cleared her throat. "Discord, that's enough pillows..." She shakily said, eyeing the towering amount of pillows, the sheer amount making Fluttershy's brain boggle at the numbers, not to mention how they were fit into the cottage without brushing the ceiling or disturbing the animals, who had fled when they heard about their mistress's chaotic friend having and helping to prepare a sleepover. That Friend in question had curled his serpentine body around a Greek pillar made of fluffy cushions, still magicking more out of thin air with little flashes. He turned his eyes, which Fluttershy found herself immediately noticing how intense they were, her heart skipping a beat, despite the orbs of gold and red were narrowed in confusion. Discord frowned, scratching his white goatee.
"Eh...really?"
A yellow hoof flew into Fluttershy's face, closing her eyes in resignation as she facehoofed.

"Somepony remind me why we're having a sleepover with Discord again?" A raspy voice intoned, rolling her cerise eyes. She flapped her wings lazily, hovering above Twilight, who was carefully reading a slim handheld manual, it's brown cover lettered with 'Sleepover Tips: A beginner's guide!' in silver cursive, the alicorn scanning the document thoroughly, not missing a detail. She looked up at Rainbow Dash's query, before looking back down at the thin book. Her magic aura lit with magenta glitter, the same colour that enveloped her book.
" We were supposed to have our annual sleepovers today, but I wanted to bring Spike and you wanted to bring Tank, which is implying that you think Spike is a pet, but then Fluttershy pointed out that today was her Tuesday tea with Discord, and she really did not want to miss it after last week's mayhem." Twilight answered monotonously, still focused on her book. She paused and shuddered at the previous week's happenings. "So Pinkie suggested we invite Discord."
The spontaneous pink party pony bounced by, nodding in agreement to the princess's statement. Her hair bounced with her in time with each hop, her blue, fourth wall breaking eyes fixated on her spectrum haired friend. Each spring brought her to where Dash was flying, where she could look the Pegasus in the eyes. "Why do you still hold such a grudge against the disco? Didn't we have an amazing episode a few Seasons ago about us bonding with Dissy? Why is it always that Dashie doesn't approve?"
Twilight, whose muzzle was finally out of her sleepover manual, shrugged. "It's cliche, I guess. Always one friend who doesn't approve."
"Woah, woah, it's not that I don't approve..." Rainbow quickly defended herself, her hooves in a defensive position, as if trying to ward off an invisible parasprite. "It's just...I don't think that Fluttershy should be do trusting of him. He's a fun guy to hang around, but the minute he decides to do anything to her...BAM! He's back to being a garden gnome." The two front hooves punched expressively at the air, narrowly missing hitting a raspberry curl that belonged to Pinkie, who was still hopping along.
"I get that you're worried, darling, but there's no need to be uncouth!" Rarity chimed, unburying herself from the conversation she and Applejack had been engaged in. Applejack nodded, stomping the ground gaily.
"Exactly, sugar cube! Besides, if Discord does hurt Fluttershy, we'll give him the what-for, don't ya worry!" Applejack dragged Rainbow down to the dirt path, tail first, to pat her reassuringly. The five trotted along, before Twilight inserted herself back into the words of her book, absorbing the knowledge at a swift pace, flipping pages.
The peace was disrupted by Pinkie Pie, who burst out laughing, the other four diverting their attention to her. Twilight's mouth formed a 'why-', before that question was answered by another pillow shooting out from the cottage ahead, the door ajar.
The five quickened into a canter, clearing the distance and peeking into the door. The sight that lay before them was too hilariously traumatising for words...
Ha! Cliff hanger! The chapter will be up by next week, so do not fret....,
