Care for a carrot ginger sandwich?

Awww.

You remembered to cut off the crusts for me.

Of course I did.

I know how you like them.

You really do make the best finger foods.

[burp]

What do you say?

Excuse me!

Oh! I really can't take them anywhere.

[giggle]

[crunch]

Can I trouble you for another sugar cube?

Oh, no. I'm so sorry, but I seem to be out.

Well, I can just pop us in some more.

That's all right.

I need to go to the market anyway.

I have to restock my pantry for our tea party next week.

Oh, I never realized how much work you put

into hosting these tea parties.

Oh, it's really not that much.

No, no, no, no, no.

I've been taking advantage of your hospitality

for far too long.

It's high time I do something about it.

What to do. What to do.

Why don't you host the next tea party?

I've got it!

Why don't I host the next tea party at my place?

Hey, that's my idea.

[poof]

Why didn't I see that coming?

So Fluttershy...

what do you think of my brilliant,

genius, amazing idea

of having the next tea party at my place?

[poof]

[running water]

Are you sure?

I wouldn't want you to go through any trouble.

You, trouble? Never! I insist.

[poof]

[bleat]

Then count me in.

I'm already looking forward to it!

Me, too!

I'm so excited; I can't wait.

No, really! I can't.

How about we have the tea party tomorrow afternoon?

Sounds good to me.

You know, Discord, I've never been to your house before.

Well, that's OK, because I've never hosted a tea party before.

[explosion]

Oh? I've never hosted a tea party before.

So much to do!

Thank you so much for the tea and nibblies,

but I really must be going.

Uh, Discord...

before you go, would you mind helping me tidy up?

[poof]

There you go.

Back to normal, just the way you like it.

See you tomorrow!

I can't wait!

OK, since Fluttershy always goes out of her way

to host the perfect tea party for me,

how do I make my tea party for her

even more perfect?

I'm sorry dearie, were you talking to me?

Actually, Madam, I'm talking to myself.

Well, I'm not talking to you!

It's for Fluttershy.

Oh, all right.

No more holes though.

You have to knock this tea party out of the park for her.

She was our first friend, after all.

You don't have to tell me that.

She gave us a chance when no other pony would!

She makes us want to be a better draconequus.

Fluttershy deserves the best of everything.

Of course. I should get her the best of everything!

Why didn't I think of that?

Well, are you going to answer me or not?

Me?

I thought you were talking to--

--No time!

I'm off to prepare a tea party worthy of Fluttershy!

[power up]

Excuse me.

Is this where Fluttershy usually buys her tea?

Why, yes it is.

Oh, wonderful!

I'll be enjoying her company tomorrow,

so I will be needing your very best tea, please.

Something especially special.

I'm sure Fluttershy would enjoy some of our Rosehip green tea.

Oooh. Interesting.

Does it decorate your hips in roses or turn you green?

Uh, neither?

It just tastes good.

How boring.

Pass.

Hold on!

Ginseng tea.

Now that sounds promising.

What does it sing?

I'm partial to something upbeat and jazzy.

Again. It's just tasty, like all of our tea here.

So all this is just tea you simply drink?

Uh-huh.

Oh! Seems like I got here just in time.

[snap]

♪ La, la, baloo. ♪

♪ Sha loo ba doo ba dee! ♪

Singing ginseng!

I'll take it!

Are you sure you're friends with Fluttershy?

You seem so very different from her.

Well, of course we're friends.

She gets me and you obviously do not.

"Are you sure you're friends with Fluttershy?"

Why, the very nerve.

I'm sorry, do you validate?

Gah! - Hello.

Uh, can I help you find something?

Yes you can. Your finest tea set, please.

I want only the best for my friend, Fluttershy.

Uh, you're friends with Fluttershy?

Yes, judge-y clerk pony.

Why is it such a surprise?

Sure, she's on the quieter side and I'm a bit,

well, more showy.

but I'll have you know, we're besties.

And that's why I need the best tea set.

Perhaps then you'd be interested

in our classic "Tea for Two" set.

A teapot that just pours tea?

How positively dreadful.

But that's all tea pots are supposed to do.

Not anymore.

Much better.

Don't wrap it; I'll walk it home.

[clatter]

Now let's see, I have the perfect tea

and the perfect tea service.

What else do I need for the perfect tea party?

Oh!

Decorations, of course!

Good, but not nearly good enough for Fluttershy.

[snap]

[poof]

Ta da! choo!

Oh, ho ho!

Better.

Oh, I'll need napkins.

I'll simply make them...

I could...

or ...nope.

I've got nothing.

How do I make these better?

What should I do?

Make them...

make them glow.

That's not good enough for Fluttershy.

Should I make them fly?

Glow, fly and fold!

Glow, fly, fold into fun shapes perhaps?

Uh, Discord?

Are you OK?

Pinkie Pie?

Just the pony I need.

[poof] - [snap]

As the party pony and Fluttershy's close-but-not-best

friend, I need your advice.

I'm hosting a tea party for her and it has to be perfect.

No, it has to be even better than perfect!

Oh, Discord.

You're waaaay over-thinking things.

All you have to do is make Fluttershy feel comfortable,

which should be pretty easy for you!

You know her so well!

And that's why you're the party expert.

Thank you, Pinkie Pie.

I feel so much better now.

Eh, it's what I do.

Excuse me, where can I find the glowing, flying,

self-folding napkins?

Make Fluttershy feel comfortable.

Make Fluttershy feel comfortable.

Comfortable. Comfortable.

Well, I mean that shouldn't be a problem.

Aie aie aie CHOO!

Maybe I just need another set of eyes on this.

What do you think?

[poof]

[gasp]

That bad?

No... worse!

Fluttershy would never be comfortable here.

What have you done?

I was trying to make the tea party different and special...

like me.

But all I did was make it chaotic and weird... like me.

What if those ponies at the tea shop and china shop were right?

What if Fluttershy sees how crazy this place is

and realizes how different we are

and then doesn't want to be friends anymore?

[gasping]

Relax. We can fix this.

Time to call in the team.

♪♪

OK, chief. What's the plan?

What to do, what to do? What to do?

Oh! Got it!

We know Fluttershy and we know what she likes.

First of all, we need to get rid of all the new stuff.

You heard him.

Strike the new stuff!

Well, done everybody, but there's still more work to do.

[groan]

[complaining]

We need to make this place more Fluttershy and less...

well, me.

One thing I know about my dear friend

is that she loves comfy chairs...

But not on the ceiling.

And I'm almost certain she likes stairs that lead somewhere.

And although we've never discussed it,

I'm pretty sure Fluttershy likes gravity.

OK fellas, this is a good start, but stand back.

Let me show you how it's done.

We just need some of this...

[snap]

And a little of that--

OK, let's give these conversation cards a whirl.

Ahem.

It is very nice to see you today.

Have you read any good books lately?

Your garden looks positively lovely.

Right on! - Great!

Oh, quite strange, for the first time in my life,

I don't feel quite strange.

In fact, I feel completely normal.

Everything is finally perfect for Fluttershy.

[clock chimes]

And just in time.

[snap]

[poof]

Discord, I'm so excited to finally see where you live.

Greetings, friend.

Please do come in.

I can't wait to see how...oh.

[clock ticking]

Is something amiss?

Um. No, no, not at all.

It's just not what I expected.

It's quite... lovely.

Please, have a seat.

Where is it?

Right here.

Oh.

I think you'll be quite pleased with the green tea

I've selected for us today.

Oooh! Does it actually turn us green?

Is it really envious of the other teas?

What's it do? What's it do?

Well... it tastes delicious.

Oh. OK.

What particularly nice weather we're having.

Yes. Yes we are.

It did rain the other day, however.

Uh-huh.

But the weather today is particularly nice...

as I previously mentioned.

Would you care for some milk toast?

Uh, Discord you don't seem to be yourself today.

Are you feeling all right?

What ever do you mean?

Well, it's just... what you're wearing.

And also, what you're saying.

And also the way you're saying it.

And um, pretty much everything else.

Oh, dear Fluttershy. Worry not.

I can assure you that for the first time,

I'm feeling perfectly normal.

Now let me top you off.

Whoops!

Butter fingers.

How embarrassing.

Uh...what's going on?

I have no idea.

Discord! You're starting to fade away!

Oh. You don't say.

Have you read any good books lately?

[weak chuckle]

♪ [horror sting] ♪

Huh!

Have you tried the scones?

They're positively delectable.

The secret is in the extra butter.

What is wrong with you?

You're acting so "normal" which is not so normal for you!

What ever do you mean?

This is just me being me.

No, it's not!

It's you being like everypony else!

[gasp]

Eeep!

The more you do it the more you fade away!

Of course!

You're a creature of pure chaos!

Being normal is destroying you!

Oh, haha, how interesting.

That reminds me of something I heard at the market today.

STOP IT! Please.

You need to go back to being your not-normal normal self!

Quick, Discord do something chaotic before it's too late!

Please!

Do something chaotic?

I'll try.

Ohh, that's not good.

Then I guess it's up to me.

Uh, OK. All right.

How about...?

[panicked gasps]

[clink]

Oh, no.

I tipped over that cup.

That's pretty chaotic, right?

[yawn]

What if I...?

[chomping]

Oh, my! Talking with food in my mouth

after taking a bite from every sandwich... how wacky!

Doing anything for ya?

OK. Hmmm.

Maybe I need to start thinking like you.

What would Discord do?

Well, I guess, he'd probably make another version of himself

to bounce ideas off of.

But one wouldn't be enough.

He'd need more. Way more.

♪♪

Hey there, Fluttershys, any ideas on how to Discord-up

this tea party?

Hi Fluttershy, thanks for asking!

First of all, you gotta redecorate this place!

I mean this is where Discord lives! And you're telling me

there aren't any stairs that lead to nowhere?

On it!

♪♪

Better, but it still needs something.

Now that's more like it!

We've never talked about it,

but I'm pretty sure Discord hates gravity.

I do! Who wants to be tethered to the ground

when you can do this?

[snap]

Now this is exactly what I was hoping for!

This is what you were hoping for?

But this is the complete opposite of your tea parties.

I wouldn't expect you to throw a tea party the way I would!

We're different.

I know.

I was afraid that if you saw exactly how different we are,

you wouldn't want to be friends anymore!

What?

Why would you ever think that?

Because... you and I don't make sense to anypony else.

That may be true, but we make sense to me.

I never would have thought to make singing ginseng

before I met you.

But you've opened me up to so many more possibilities

and impossibilities!

So I guess what I'm trying to say is,

I like you because you're so different from me.

You do?

Of course I do, silly.

Besides, what's Discord without a little chaos?

Well, in that case, I certainly don't need to be wearing this.

[rip]

Whoops.

I forgot that I still had this on.

You know, your garden really is looking lovely.
