So, at last I can stop using brackets and 'A/N' all the time! All author's notes come directly from me! It's good to be back, and I'm sorry it took this long for the sequel.

To those of you new to this story and who have no idea what I'm talking about, I suggest reading the previous story, 'Begrudged Tolerance is Magic', for a bit of background. If you insist in reading this without any previous knowledge, I'd warn you - you might get a little confused.

Okay, so if you read the summary, you've got the general idea. I suppose the next thing to do would be to start the story! Without further adieu, I present 'Forcing Fluttercord', for your enjoyment!

Equestria?!

Discord stared at the brown pegasus standing before him. Her blue eyes were wide with a mixture of confusion and alarm. From the way her hooves were splayed out from her centre like a starfish, it was clear she was not used to using four legs. The pegasus' whole body moved in time with her panicked breathing. For the third time since the two creatures' arrival, the pegasus spoke.
"Discord, why am I a pony?" The mare's tone displayed her panic and confusion perfectly.
The Lord of Chaos frowned slightly at the pegasus, his eyebrows furrowing. However, instead of staying stationary, the draconequus wound his way around the mare, trying to figure out her situation.
"I haven't the slightest idea." Discord pulled at the mare's wings, stroking his chin and goatee in turn. "You have certainly taken the complete form of a pegasus, Delta. Right down to the mane on your head." He patted her mane pratronizingly to emphasize his words. The pony- Delta- recoiled in annoyance.
"Hey, could you not?" She snapped, taking a step back. The movement was too sudden, and she found herself stumbling over her hooves.

"Watch it. Don't fall over." Discord caught her with his magic, and then set her down rather roughly, as though to prove that he hadn't meant to catch her.
"Oof- hey, I'm not used to this! At least let me figure out the controls before tossing me about." Delta grumbled, rolling her shoulders back to ease some of her discomfort. She glanced around at the area, despite the lack of visibility. "But really, why are we here? This doesn't look like my room."
"Well, I don't know that either." Discord sighed, gazing up at the night sky.
"What a surprise." Delta muttered, a small smirk on her face as she examined her hooves.
"Ugh, you're even worse in person." Discord rolled his eyes. "Anyway, this looks like the edge of Ponyville."

Delta stopped her examinations all of a sudden, her body frozen.
"Did you say Ponyville?" She half-whispered, her eyes still fixed on her hooves.
"Yes, of course I said 'Ponyville'. What, did you think you turned into a pony on Earth?" Discord let out a chuckle at Delta's expense. "Oh come on, Human! You struck me as smarter than that." The draconequus paused. "Oh wait, I can't really call you 'Human' anymore, can I? That's gonna take some getting used to."
Delta finally allowed herself to move. She lifted her head and stared around at the buildings bathed in moonlight. How could she not have recognised the architecture? Of course they were in Ponyville. She'd watched the show enough to know the town like the back of her hand.
In the distance, a huge shining structure caught her eye. Delta wondered how she could've possibly missed it. From what she'd seen from the Season Four finale, that thing was Princess Twilight's tree-castle-thing.

Delta's breathing hitched all of sudden. She was in Ponyville. With the Mane Six. It was like the plot of every 'My Little Pony' fanfiction ever. This time, however, she was actually here. A wave of excitement bubbled up inside her like a boiling pot of water. She was almost visibly vibrating from excitement.
"Uh, Delta? You seem to be a little... shakey." Discord raised an eyebrow at the overly-excited mare.
"I'm fine. I'm perfect, in fact! Brilliant! Amazing!" Delta burst out laughing in startled amazement. She bounced on the spot, seemingly getting used to her four hooves quicker than she'd expected. With every bounce, her wings fluttered, giving her an extra burst of height. "This is fantastic! I'm actually in Ponyville!" Delta exclaimed.
"Yes, yes! Now lower the volume before you wake everypony in Equestria with your yelling." Discord hushed the pegasus with his paw enclosed around her muzzle. Her excited mutterings were muffled and significantly lowered in volume until she finally stopped speaking.

Discord removed his paw and recoiled in disgust at the pegasus.
"Euughh! You licked me!" The King of Chaos wailed in horror, waving his paw in the air, trying desperately to get rid of it. With his claw, he seemed to unscrew his paw and then threw it away. It exploded silently in the distance. With a shudder, Discord dug his claw into an invisible pocket and pulled out a new paw. The replacement screwed back on automatically.
Delta watched the whole scene with amusement, but eventually her smile faded away to a frown.
"I'm going to go find Twilight." She muttered, mostly to herself.
"What- why?" Discord frowned, winding his way around the pegasus again.
"If I'm ever going to go home, she's the only pony that can help me." Delta hopped over one of Discord's coils and began to trot toward the tree-castle and into Ponyville.
"But- what about me? I managed to get to Earth once, I'm sure I could do it again!" Discord began to follow her into the town.
"Exactly. It's your fault I'm here. I'm going to a more reliable source of information." Delta explained calmly, ignoring Discord's attempts to dissuade her.
"Are you saying I'm unreliable?" The draconequus feigned offence at Delta's words.

"Yes!" Delta stopped moving, her voice rising. "Yes, that is what I'm saying. You are possibly the most unreliable creature on this planet! You probably couldn't even find the book you got the spell from again, if your life depended on it! Well guess what: my life does depend on it, Discord. My life depends on me finding the right way to get home. Otherwise, I'll be stuck here. I have a whole 'nother life waiting for me back home. If you mess up the spell again, all that gets thrown away. So I'm going to see Twilight."
Delta began to trot away again. This time, Discord did not follow straight away. He paused, allowing the pegasus' words to sink in. At first, he felt anger. How dare she accuse him of being unreliable? It was her fault she was here, anyway! If she hadn't interfered with his arrival, he'd be wreaking chaos on Earth about now.
Slowly, Discord's anger dissolved away. It was replaced quickly by guilt. If he'd never tried to get to Earth, Delta wouldn't have ended up stuck in Ponyville. It really was his fault. He hadn't paid attention to the dangers involved with the spell, and now she was as good as dead back on Earth. Unless Twilight could help, of course.
Slowly, the guilt-stricken Discord began following Delta to the centre of Ponyville.

In Canterlot, Princess Luna was surveying the grounds of the castle. She was soaring high above the turrets, her wings brushing against the clouds that shone in her moon's light. There was something soothing in flying at night. It was as beautiful as ever, in her opinion. She knew now that many ponies admired her night. Even as she flew, she could feel their thoughts. The Princess couldn't hear them, but the fact that she could feel their admiration was enough.
The Lunar Princess swooped down past her sister's bedroom, making sure her shadow was outlined by moonlight. She knew Celestia was fast asleep, but just knowing that she was there comforted the youngest sister. That if Celestia had awoken, she would've seen her sister and calmed down. As Princess of the Night, it was Luna's job to guard her subjects. During her sleeping hours, that included Celestia.
Suddenly, a strange sensation sent Luna reeling. She lost control of her flight for a moment, but quickly fluttered down to a rest on one of the castle's many towers. The Princess was confused for a moment, before she regained her senses and allowed herself to examine what had caused the sensation.
Luna closed her eyes and sent her mind far out, in search of the origin of her strange feeling.
The Princess' eyes flew open and she gasped in shock. She wavered for a moment from the revalation.
What she had sensed... it was unlike anything she'd ever felt. It was a surge of magic so powerful that she felt a tear in the very fabric of the world. It was as though somepony had literally taken a knife and sliced a section of the world open. It was a small section, but it had still taken an enormous amount of magical energy. The resulting energy release was unbelievable. The blue alicorn felt herself grow ever more worried. She ought to tell Celestia.
However... her sister was still sleeping. Whatever it was could wait until the Sun Princess awoke. The magical tear seemed to be closing over, anyway. It would be fine in a few seconds.
Luna's concern dissolved alongside the residual energy from the tear. Soon, she was back to soaring around the castle, guarding her subjects in their sleep.

Well? Did you enjoy chapter one of the sequel? If you hated it, feel free to tell me! Eheheh... either way, I hope you enjoyed it. More to come tomorrow!
Oh, and I may be considering posting some Discord-related shorts to my Tumblr. If I do, I'll give you guys my URL! Otherwise, it's pointless since all I ever post is things to do with fandoms and shipping. Pretty dull, if you ask me. Anyway, see you all next time!
