Back to the start
Chapter one- An Idea
Night engulfed the small town of Ponyville as ponies prepared for a blissful slumber ahead. That is, except for six little ponies as they got ready for the best sleepover ever.
"THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST. SLEEPOVER. EVER. WHERES MY PARTY CANNONNNN" screamed a way too excited Pinkie Pie as she scrambled around the library trying to locate her might I say, weapon.
"Pinkie Pie, I would appreciate it if you would not blow up my house like you did the last time." replied a calm purple unicorn who had cleverly hidden away the party cannon earlier that day.
"Awwww but what's a sleepover without a party cannon", sulked Pinkie Pie as she slouched back in her beanbag.
"There there darling, there's always makeovers to kick start a sleepover!!" Rarity said as she batted her eyelashes furiously at the group's two most dishevelled looking ponies.
"You touch any part of me and I'll buck you straight into the door", came a reply from a certain rainbow maned pegasus, earning an approving nod and grin from an orange pony beside her.
"Fine, but don't come whining to me when you find fleas or who knows what in those manes of yours. How about you Fluttershy, want a makeover? I brought cucumber slices and everything!" said Rarity.
"That sounds lovely Rarity. That is, if you don't mind." squeaked Fluttershy.
"Of course not darling, if I do say so myself, makeovers are the perfect way to start a perfect sleepover!" replied Rarity as she began to brush Fluttershy's long pink mane.
"YEAHHHH THE BEST PERFECTEST SLEEPOVER EVERRR WITH ALL MY BESTEST FRIENDS. YAYYYYY" screamed Pinkie Pie, as laughter echoed through the small library as the ponies giggled at Pinkie's enthusiasm.
"Ah sure have to agree with Pinkie Pie on that one. Nothing's better than having a sleepover with my best pals. Ah don't know what I'll do without ya." said AppleJack, and with that, the best friends huddled together in a group hug, completely unaware that every little movement was being watched. Watched very very closely....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Outside the library, a dark shadow loomed. After being trapped in stone thanks to those best friends, he was back for revenge. And to spread chaos, but more on that revenge part. It sure wasn't fun on his part to painfully chip away at stone until he broke free. I mean, it took an entire month, of course the dude's angry now. And he wanted revenge. He wanted to take back what was his. The beautiful chaos and disharmony he had created before he was stopped by the Elements of Harmony. He wanted them to pay for putting an end to his chaos.
As Discord sneaked around the library, waiting for an opportunity to strike, a revelation of any weaknesses the elements of harmony had, any idea to hit him.... And then it did.
"Hmmm don't know what you'll do without them hmmm. Why don't we find out?" Discord laughed menacingly as evil thoughts filled his mind.
That was all it took. A single idea. One little idea that could turn Equestria upside down, inside out and all around full of chaos.
Plans and Execution
Chapter two- Plans and Execution
Deep within the EverFree forest, Discord was busy in his new 'lair'. He had transformed a cave into one entirely made of chocolate milk, with furniture inside made out of soap. As Discord skated around his new lair, he thought of ways to change the past.....
It was no problem for him to travel back to the past, he is Discord after all. The problem was what to change. He couldn't destroy the elements, Nightmare Moon had already did that and failed. He couldn't hide them either, it would so easily get found again. The only way was to prevent the elements of harmony from ever becoming what they were meant to be. Discord had to somehow prevent the mane six from ever meeting. Prevent them from being friends. How? Now that was the big question.
Discord had done his research. He had sent his minions out ever since he could break his hand out of the stone. He knew every single detail of the ponies. Their families, their history, their homes, everything. But he couldn't think of anything.
"How can we break their friendship Discord?" He asked his reflection in the chocolate wall.
"Break. Break. Break" echoed his reflection.
"Hm. Break you say... If we can't break their friendship, how about we break them instead?" grinned Discord.
Break. Break. Break.
And with that, Discord pulled a zipper out from thin air and unzipped the time space continuum. He skipped into the portal, zipped it back up and shot through time, back to the past, back to the day the very first sonic rainboom was made.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rainbow Dash loved the adrenaline, she loved the speed. But she knew what she loved more than the wind in her mane, she loved winning.
"HEY, get back here!" Rainbow Dash shouted as she sped downwards, with speed that would shame a lightning bolt.
Just mere seconds before Rainbow Dash would create a sonic rainboom, Discord gently unzipped the time portal, stuck out his foot and grinned menacingly as he watched Rainbow Dash tumble down to the ground. Then, he placed his foot back into the time portal, brushed off the dust Rainbow Dash had left on it and hopped back into the present, happily awaiting his bright future ahead.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rainbow Dash had never felt so humiliated in her life. Everypony laughed at her as she returned back to Cloudsdale, all covered in mud and dirt. She had failed to defend Fluttershy, she had lost. As ponies continued to jeer and point at her, Rainbow Dash swore to herself, she would never race again.
"Maybe I just wasn't meant for speed"
On the ground not so far away from Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy desperately tried to talk to the animals. Bunnies jumped away from her, Squirrels climbed up the trees upon seeing her and birds flew away in panic. No matter what Fluttershy did, the animals just didn't trust her enough. Finally giving up, Fluttershy sadly and slowly flew back up to Cloudsdale with a sigh.
" Maybe I just don't know how to communicate with animals"
In a rock farm not too far away, a pink pony dragged a rock towards her. She looked up in the sky, hoping for some kind of comfort, some form of joy. But nothing. Pinkie Pie continued to drag the rock towards her. Rolling, rolling......
"Maybe my life just wasn't meant for joy"
At a magic academy audition nearby, a purple unicorn was ready to give up. She was apologizing continuously to the teachers and her parents for failing to crack open the dragon egg. She just couldn't do it. Twilight Sparkle disappointedly left the classroom.
"Maybe I'm not meant to be a powerful unicorn"
Then, we have a white unicorn on a hill nearby screaming at a rock. Her horn had brought her all the way there and Rarity was expecting some beautiful jems but alas, it was just some big ugly rock. She screamed at the rock to open up, but it was a rock, it didn't hear her. So Rarity just gave up and sadly went back to the school play. A school play filled with dull and boring costumes made by her.
"Maybe I just wasn't meant to be in the fashion business"
And lastly we have a orange pony in a far away city of Manehatten. As she peered out the window, she thought of her home. How she missed it so. But no, she couldn't go back home, this was where she was meant to be. Not in some old apple farm bucking apples her entire life.
"Maybe this is where I truly belong"
