Well Why Not?

The gala, a wonderful gathering of the nobles. A place where they can get away from the... filth that walked the streets. A place where they could be together and have a wonderous time. Or that's what its supposed to be.... the "sophisticated" party was either utterly boring... or a complete disaster. This years gala was looking to be the first decent one in centuries, then humans came... we all know what happens when humans come.

Twilight looked upon the crowd of nobles enjoying their night. They were all in their little groups mingling about. For the first time it looked as if it was going to be peaceful, which was her goal as princess. See Luna had bet her that she couldn't host a completely peaceful gala. It was supposed to be a joke, like how could ANYONE host a peaceful gala? I mean the only way to do that is lock everyone up in the dungeons, and that just isn't acceptable for the nobles. The floors are much too dirty.

But Twilight being the mare she was had accepted the bet. The consequences for losing were not important, winning was the only thing on the young princesses mind.

To ensure her success, she had locked up her friends. I mean come on! The girls? PEACEFUL?! No... they were all knocked out.. in the dungeons.. chained to that wall... 3 times over (15 times for pinkie). Yes she had everything in place... now it was time to wait, and watch for the inevitable disasters to show up, so she could thwart there gala ruining schemes, and win this bet!

Twilight sighed, and watched over the crowd. She had done the math, with her friends locked up she should get approximately 30 minutes of peace before things went sour. There was one variable she didn't count... but whats the chance of-

"HELLLLOOO TWILIGHT"

Twilight yelped in surprise and fell off the throne. She smacked onto the ground face first, and proceeded to bounce down the stairs.. on her face.

Once her disaster of the hour was over, she looked over to the very draconequus who had caused it.

"Discord" She scowled "What are you doing here?"

He merely laughed "Well my dear Twilight, I just thought that'd I'd check up on my favorite alicorn princess!"

"Ugh... whatever. Just go away, can't you see I'm trying to host a peaceful gala?" she huffed and walked back up the stairs.

Discord flew down next to twilight "Well as a matter of fact I can!" He exclaimed "That's why I'm here! I just thought I might... turn it up a notch, I believe the saying is" He stroked his chin "Is that right James?"

There was an awkward silence for a few seconds. "Um who's-"

There was a crash from behind the throne "Ugh.. sorry. Just trying to get these pots in order -*CRASH*- Oi! Stupid magic... wait no.. I mean, nice magic!"

A large bipedal figure ran out from behind the throne with various pots and pans chasing him. "I'm sorry! Discord help!'

Twilight looked in shock "Discord... why is there a human here?"

He merely chuckled and pointed toward the crowd "To give you a challenge"

Twilight could only look in horror as she watched the seen unfold before her.

"Ah ha! Gotcha!" The human known as James had corralled all the pots and pan and was now sitting on them. "That's what ya get for messing with James"

Before he could boast more about his magnificent victory against the kitchen utensils he had fought against the door to the grand hall was blown open. Revealing two more humans.

The two were carrying roman candles and were those.... no.....the humans were carrying all the elements of harmony and running from two very pissed off alicorn sisters.

"Ah! there onto us! call in the reinforcements johnny!" One of the two shouted.

The other nodded his head and pulled out a rectangle with a large red button in the middle of it. He proceeded to push it. This certain button just so happened to control the galas fireworks.. all of them. The small gazebo in the gardens containing the fireworks erupted into a colorful and bright explosion (first explosion). The few fireworks that didn't go off went straight toward the grand hall.

The fireworks smashed through the windows and exploded sending sparks everywhere and setting things on fire. Before Twilight could check on the nobles a flaming chariot crashed through the large window behind the throne, flying straight over her head... and straight into James.

The chariot slowly moved off the human and smashed against a pillar on the opposite side of the room, causing it to collapse, which in turn caused a section of the roof to collapse. On top of the roof more humans dressed in ninja suits jumped down and began shooting fireworks at anything in sight, including each other. Humans  that were hit with the party warheads were taken on a forced roller coaster ride across the room.

Looking back at the crashed chariot she could see a single figure in a black suit and cape staring at her. He brought his arm up to reveal a tube. He pressed a button on said tube and a piercing red light erupted from it. Behind him more red lights appeared. After a moment of rather awkward staring the group charged straight at Twilight. Before she could react a bunch more humans ran from behind her, carrying more of the light sticks, only these were blue and green. Both sides met in the middle of the battlefield that was once called the gala and began swinging them at each other.

On the other side of the hall, the nobles could be seen. Upon figuring out the humans apparent random rampage was not pointed at them, that stopped their panic and simply watched, a few actually had popcorn.

As the chaos continued Twilight turned back to Discord, only to find a sign saying "Deal with it".

The whole situation finally donned on Twilight. "Wha? Bu--bu... wh.. eh" Twilight's eyes rolled back into her head and she collapsed onto the ground.

Discord Residence

Discord was sitting on his balcony along with James the human. They were watching the grand hall as the chaos began to die down, and most of the people inside began to go back to their own places in the universe.

"Well that sure was interesting! I have never pulled a prank like that in... well centuries!" Discord exclaimed excitedly

James shrugged "Well, you have been...I dunno.. stoned for a thousand years" he snickered "stoned"

Discord chuckled "Yes I suppose, you know this was one of my greatest Ideas I've ever had! It's also great to have made a friend" He put his arm around James in a friendly gesture

James nodded "I agree, I'm surprised you hadn't had this idea before! From what you said humans are the most chaotic species in the multiverse!"

Discord shrugged "Yes well, I was a bit of a stubborn one back in the day. Always wanted to do things myself" he stroked his chin "There is one question I would like to ask you though, why did you choose this prank? Why did you do it James?" He joked.

"Well... why not?" James replied

Discord smiled, content with his answer "Why not indeed James" He said as they gazed upon the final moments of the gala.

"Why not indeed"
