One day, Fluttershy was making breakfast for herself and her cute little animals. She was feeling both drowsy and famished after going to Applejack's birthday party the previous day. Suddenly, as she was making a salad for Angel, she heard a knock at the door.

"Who is it?"

"It's *sniff* me, erm, ahem, *cough*, Discord."

"Oh you poor thing! You sound sick! Come inside!"

Fluttershy walked over to the door and opened it for a very sickly Discord. His face was red; not because he was blushing, but because he was sick.

"Do you know what you're sick with?" Fluttershy asked as Discord walked in.

"I, *achoo!*-"

After Discord sneezed, he turned into a frog.

"T-the problem is, every time I cough, sneeze, or hiccup, I turn into something else!"

"That doesn't sound very good!" a concerned Fluttershy spoke. "Now lie down on my couch so I could find you some medicine."

"But I don't need just-" Discord hiccuped and turned into an alligator.

"-normal medicine," Discord continued.

"Then what <i>do<i> you need?" asked Fluttershy.

"I need the <i>best<i> medicine!" Discord exclaimed.

Fluttershy realized that this would be a tough task...
<hr>
As Discord was lying on Fluttershy's couch, coughing, sneezing, and transforming, Fluttershy was digging through her medicine cabinet to find Discord 'the best medicine'. She picked up a flask of blue liquid and flew over to Discord to show it to him.

"How about this medicine?" asked Fluttershy. "It helps with coughing, sneezing, and sore throats."

"This possibly can't be the best medicine!" Discord shouted. "This medicine is for rodents! Besides that, I don't <i>like<i> liquid medicine!"

Fluttershy blushed. "For a second I thought that <i>this<i> was the best medicine, but..."

Fluttershy's voice trailed off as she flew back to her medicine cabinet and put away the flask of blue liquid.

"Oh, I can feel-"

Discord coughed and turned into a rabbit. "Now I'm not trying to be rude, but I need to be cured! I don't need anypony else to catch such a disease!"

"You're right, Discord. I guess I'll just have to look harder..."

Fluttershy peered into a shelf of her medicine cabinet. Suddenly, her eyes lit up when she found a container of small, round, yellow capsules. She flew over to Discord to show him. Could these capsules possibly fulfill Discord's request of the title of so-called 'best medicine'?

"Here Discord. These capsules help with belly aches and coughing."

"Did you forget that I'm also-"

Discord sneezed and turned into a snake.

"-sneezing?"

"Oh. I'm sorry," spoke Fluttershy.

Fluttershy flew back to her medicine cabinet to attempt once more to find "the best medicine". "This is going to be very difficult..."
<hr>
After about thirty minutes of searching for the so-called 'best medicine' Fluttershy finally gave up. She sighed as she flew over to Discord.

"Did you find any other possible candidates for 'the best medicine'?"

"No," replied Fluttershy. "I'm giving up and calling it a day. I just can't seem to find your so-called 'best medicine'. I guess I'm not a good friend for giving up."

Suddenly, Fluttershy felt that lightbulb in her head light up. "I think I might have just found the best medicine!"

"Ooh! Ooh!" an excited Discord spoke. "What is it?"

"Zecora told me once that sometimes, the best medicine isn't actual medicine. It's in the form of friendship."

"What's <i>that<i> supposed to mean?" a confused Discord asked. "Does that mean we have to spend more time together?"

"That's not what she meant," Fluttershy replied. "What she meant is that sometimes a sympathetic hug of a good friend will cure magical diseases like this."

Fluttershy walked over to Discord and gave him a big hug. Instantaneously Discord transformed back into a draconequis and no longer felt sick.

"Oh, thank you Fluttershy! You finally found the best medicine!"

"But I couldn't do so without your help."
