"...call me Eris deary~"

"Wow! I didn't know that humans can create great music like this!" Vinyl shouted as one sides of her headphones drooped slightly.

Just a while ago, the two mares asked me what kind of music my species have. This lead to me sitting back on the same chair with the rest of the girls, discussing about the different kinds of music genre my kind has to offer. I told them the many kinds of genre, from Jazz to Techno, Dubstep (Apparently 'Wubstep' is a thing here. It's exactly the same as dupstep. Go figure) to Classic and Orchestral music.

"Is there anything else to listen than this.....savage music?" Octavia asked with a rather disgusted face. I thought for a while, scrolling my library of music until I found something that may or may not be suitable for her liking.

"Is this alright with you? I heard you participate in and Orchestra. This was actually a piece I played in when I was in my schools band. Although this recording isn't by us though" I told her, handing her my pair of headphones, pressing the play button.


"I must say, I found that rather nice to listen to. Although there were a few iffy things here and there" Octavia said with a smile on her face.

I chuckled. "Ya, true to that. My conductor told us a long time ago that this particular Orchestra was one he was quite fond of. We eventually got stuck to listening to music from them since we all found that the music was really, really good" I smiled sadly. Those memories of mine during school band was the best. Nothing could really come close to those years of me and my buddies playing different pieces and just have fun during the process.

"Mike..?" I heard Barb call out my name next to me. I shook my head and looked at her emerald green eyes that I found myself getting entranced by. Her face was full of worry.

I shook my head again before giving her a warm smile. "It's fine Barb. Don't worry about me, I'm fine" I told her. At first she was hesitant in taking what I said seriously but in the end, she gave up and stopped worrying.

"I'm sorry if I brought up something you didn't want to remember" Octavia said in a soft tone, looking rather sad.

"It's fine Octavia, really. It's just that I might not have a chance to go back home" I said sadly. You see, when Barb and I were going to Zecora's, she explained that any form of transportation magic would require a tedious amount of work and the only ones that may be able to send me back home were the 2 princesses that Equestria has currently, Princess Celestia and her sister, Princess Luna.
However, she also did mention that it would be rather unlikely of me to return back since I came from an unknown world, even to the princesses.

"But even so, I'll try to see what this world has to offer" I said, now bearing a smile to indicate that it would be fine. Everyone around the table was rather hesitant taking me seriously but they decided it would be best to leave it be, from the looks on their faces.

=PoV: 1st person. ??=

Hmm? He's optimistic, eh? I guess I really did make the right decision. I guess it's time to make my grand appearance!

With a snap of my claw, I disappeared from my cloud hideout, reappearing inside the building with a flash of light. 'Showtime~!' I thought to myself.

"Well, well, well. It seems the human has taken a liking to this town, I suppose?" I asked out loud, catching the eyes of everyone around that one particular table. The human's eyes widened considerably as he saw me.

"YOU!" He yelled out loud, causing everyone around the table to flinch.

"ME!" I yelled out loud in reply.

"YOU!"

"ME!

"YOU!!"

"ME!!"

"YOU!"

"HER!" I yelled out loud, pointing at the dragoness, causing the human to look at her confused.

"Her?" I heard him ask.

"HER!" I replied.

"NOT YOU!!" I heard Barb yell, pointing a finger at me.

"YES ME!" I replied with a grin.

"Wait what?!" I heard the human ask out loud, definitely confused.

After that, there was a deafening silence in the room, to which I broke with my uncontrollable laughter.

"PFFFTFFF....! HAHAHAHAHA" I laughed out loudly. I continued laughing for a good.....5 minutes I think? But in any case, this caused the human and the girls to look at me funny.

"Oh goodness! I haven't laughed that hard in weeks! I do have to thank you for that, deary" I said, chuckling still.

"Your that.....creature I saw back at the woods back at home" I heard the human say. I sneered before replying.

"I have a name you know. Would it be so much to ask a lady for her name?" I 'harrumph' and turned my head sideways, closing my eyes.

"W-Wha...B-But....Y-You.....Argh! Alright fine! Would it be too much to ask milady for her name?" I heard the human say. When I turned around, I saw him slightly flushed with the girls around the table chuckling slightly (Although, Barb still seemed to be in a bad mood).

"It's Scarlet Eris. But you can just call me Eris deary~. I am the Goddess of Chaos. I know that your kind is rather chaotic, so if you have the chance, do show me how chaotic you can get~" I said, as I disappeared out of existence and reappeared next to him, my tail wrapping around him with a claw to his chin. I gave him a seductive smile, causing him to blush even more.

"U-Uhhh...Erm....I-I.." he stammered, which I found rather amusing and cute. I stopped toying with him a while later.

"So, I expect you want an explanation as to why your here, yes?" I asked him, snapping a finger, causing a couch to appear behind. I laid my body on the soft couch before snapping my finger again, causing a bowl of fruit to appear in front of me. I casually took an apple and took a bite from it.

=PoV: 1st person. Mike=

What in the fuck...This....Thing just came out of nowhere and toyed with me.

This creature, is the same one that I saw back home. Different animal ligaments, a grey-ish white hair and with two horns on top of
her head. It's the same one! And after a really confusing experience, I found that her name is Eris and that she is the Goddess of Chaos.

"Yes. And please don't do anything that would make my brain explode" I told her, to which she pouted and gave me a sad smile.

"B-But...I like making things go boom!" she said and a while later, she was crying like a small child.

"W-Wha! I-I...I'm sorry?" I said.

From afar, I could faintly see a sparkle appear from her eyes. After that, she disappeared and reappeared back with a small notepad and a pair of glasses.

"Let's see.....Make Celestia go on a holiday.....Get Blueblood to scream like a filly.....AHA! Here it is" I heard her say. She then let out a cough so as to catch everyone's attention before she proceeded.

"It say's here in my personal notebook of personal stuff, to 'Get Barb to cheer up considerably' " she said. I stared at her, my mind still trying to piece what she just said.

"WHAT?"

I saw her recoil a tad bit before coughing again. "Like I said, it was a plan to make Barb cheer up! I have been noticing that she spends most of her time in her bedroom at the library, playing those console games of hers. And I also knew that most of the ponies are busy with their lives. So! I searched around the entire cosmos to find a suitable '2nd person' as I like to call" she said with a smug grin on her face.

"Let me get this straight.....You, took me away from my world, and casted me here, so that Barb over here has a boyfriend?" I asked, repeating what she said in a more simpler way.

Eris looked at me funny. "Boyfriend? I'm sorry, but I never heard of that saying before, even though I spent around a week in your world" she said, tapping a claw on her chin, her eyes staring up at the ceiling.

"You know....partner? A......coltfriend I guess is the word?" I asked, not quite sure whether I said the right word. I assumed I did, since I saw her eyes widen.

"OH! No no no! You know? Just as a friend" she said. She then disappeared and reappeared next to me. "But if you play your cards right, you may just be one" she whispered, looking at me dead-on. My eye bulged out and I could feel my cheeks heat up. She winked at me before floating back to her seat.

I looked back at the rest of the girls around the table and took special notice of Barb. She was hiding her face underneath her jacket, probably due to being embarrassed or whatnot. Rainbow, Pinkie and Vinyl held large grins on their faces, both Rainbow and Vinyl wording out "Good luck on that bub". The rest of the girls either were looking away with blushes on their faces or were trying to hold their laughter inside.

Now this time, there is a different nagging thought in my head.

Me and Barb in a relationship.

"Oh good lord! NO!" I yelled out loud, causing Eris to look at me funny.

"Why? Don't you think she's pretty? Gorgeous even?" she asked me with a cheeky grin.

I felt my cheeks heat up more. "S-She's j-just a friend. Nothing more" I said, looking away.

Eris was now laughing hysterically and there is now a new thought that has suddenly appeared in my head.

'Oh lord. What have I gotten myself into?'
