This IS super relaxing... But for some reason, I start to get a bad feeling whenever Fluttershy sits down for a picnic.

Oh, no... Whatever's happening over there, it can't be good. I have to get over there right away and see what's the matter! Maybe I can help...

Story
Introduction
Ahhhh... There's nothing like a well-earned vacation in the wilderness to take my mind off of things... Especially when I've prepared everything just right!
I've got my picnic blanket, my binoculars, and my Ponybon Society Guide to Non-Sapient Avians of Equestria... Everything I need for a lovely afternoon of birdwatching!
... Or "birding," as ponies in the know say. Heehee... I can't wait! And who knows: If I'm sharp-eyed enough, I might even spot an endangered Blue-Throated Canyon Swallow! They're SUPER rare...
After Quest 1
Ooh! Is that it? Over there, on the canyon ledge? Let me just focus my binoculars and take a close--
... Oh. That's not an endangered swallow... it's just a pony's mane.
Wait a second.. That's PRINCESS LUNA'S mane! And Princess Celestia is right next to her... and they're both arguing with DISCORD?!
Oh, no... Whatever's happening over there, it can't be good. I have to get over there right away and see what's the matter! Maybe I can help...
After Quest 2
... For the last time: Luna and I were in line FIRST!
And for the LAST last time... naah nanny boo-boo, I can't hear you!
Ughhhh, stop meing so immature and--! *sigh* ... Look: My sister and I are on vacation. We wanted to come back to this zipline, and we are GOING to ride it again--
Correction: CELESTIA is going to ride it ALONE, because I think ziplines are terrible, and she has learned to respect that about me. But she still has a point!
Yes! So if you would KINDLY step aside and let me get in that harness, instead of poofing in ahead of us and DITHERING for half an hour, we can all be on our--
Pffffffftththhhhblblblblblthh.
Ohhhh, that is IT! HOLD ME BACK, SISTER, BEFORE I DO SOMETHING I'LL REGRET!!!
(Oh no... This really IS serious. As Discord's friend -- and the Princesses' too -- I have to try and calm everypony down before things get worse!)
Ending
ENOUGH! (Phew…) I'm sorry for raising my voice… but Discord, what's REALLY going on? I know by now that when you act out like this, it's because you're upset about something deeper…
*sigh*… Ohh, I just can't go through the motions anymore. (And also, my tongue is getting worn out.) You're right as always, Fluttershy: Before you stands a draconequus in crisis!
It's an old story, really… There I was, blissfully turning pockets of reality inside out , when an environmental newsletter spontaneously manifested itself in the Chaos dimension!
Imagine my surprise when I learned that THIS zipline facility encroaches on a Blue-Throated Canyon Swallow habitat! I know how you care about those little creatures, Fluttershy…
Oh my goodness… Discord… you were trying to stage an environmental protest… for me?! That is so sweet!
But… I'd recommend actually stating your goals out loud. If you did, everypony would have known WHY you were holding up the line… and they might have even helped you change things!
She's right, you know. In fact, Discord… now that I know your aims, if you wish to help Fluttershy rebuild this zipline facility to be more bird-friendly, you have my full support!
Well, I'll be… That would be simply marvelous! And my apologies for muddying the issue before… In case you haven't noticed, legibility is not exactly my strong suit!
Er… So I CAN ride the zipline, now that everything is settled? Is that what we've all decided?… You know what, I'm just going to decide that's the case…
