Talk:Make New Friends but Keep Discord/@comment-26236558-20150420202724/@comment-10390252-20150428083851

I think that Discord found Fluttershy fascinating and still does. She was the only one whose mind was so strong that he had to directly attack her to flip her personality. She was the first being to ever give him unconditional friendship and endure his playful nature until he got mean. However, his personality is childish enough that it is in-character that he would get jealous.

That said, we need to wait for the episode. It's possible that Smooze is too dangerous to befriend and his 'jealousy' is simply the Mane Six misinterpreting his informed warning of the risk Fluttershy is taking as 'jealousy'. It's the sort of mistake that they commonly make.
