Discord Vs Maud

Discord grinned inwardly and on the surface as well. Based on his cursory glance of Maud she seemed to possess nothing Pinkie had. Her coat was slate grey and her main a deep Purple. Then he saw her eyes. “Oh ho ho what’s this my dear Maud” he exclaimed in his chaos driven mind. Her eyes reminded him of Pinkie’s light blue but lacking that definitive sparkle that Pinkie had.

“Well we have to change that now don’t we” he whispered to himself so no one would overhear.

Maud almost took a step back when the draconequus known as Discord met her gaze. He seemed to be measuring up like a fresh piece of meat. She shuddered involuntarily making the large grin on Discord’s face grow to one that could have rivalled Pinkie’s. “ Well if he wants to play that game he can try all he wants he is getting nothing more out of me” she declared in her thoughts. Stepping forward she barely managed to raise her  right foreleg of the ground when she was attacked, almost smothered by a large pink mass hugging her fetlocks.

“Maudy-its-so-nice-to-see-you-hows-Inkie-and-Blinkie-is-the-farm-doing-well-are-you-excited-I-am… This carried on for a couple of minutes without Pinkie seemingly taking a breath.

“She should try diving if she can hold her breath that long” Maud mused.

“ Then Twilight was all like Pinkie get out of the volcano it will burn you and I was like well duh…”

“Pinkie”Maud suddenly objected “ its good to see you but must you try to crush me?”

“ She’s right Pinkie we wouldn't want any injuries before the fun started”  Discord objected again eyeing Maud like he was planning to eat her .

“ Ooh no that's not any fun “ Pinkie said. “Anyway Maudy this is my bestest draconequus friend Discord, “Discord say hi!”

“Pleasure to meet you my dear” Discord introduced himself and held a eagle’s claw out in front of her to shake. Maud carefully shook the proffered claw, but when she made contact an invisible electrical buzzer activated and left Mauds hair standing up on end like she had just tussled with a timber wolf. However she managed to keep her composure and   Simply brush her mane down using a hoof .

“ Oh she’s good I'll give her that” thought Discord while pinkie rolled around the floor in laughter causing quite a few bystanders to turn and look at her.

“Ha ha ha that was so good” she cried while rolling around in laughter .You were all like BZHT and then your mane went all POOF like mine!” Pinkie finally managed to gain control of herself after seeing her sister in such an odd state.

“ Very funny Mr Discord, how about we go into town” Maud replied matching Discords slightly frustrated glare with a stoney one of her own.

“ I'm not done yet my dear not by a long shot” Discord thought ,he would win and make Maud get a true reaction if it was the last thing he did. And after this day it might just well be.

As the mismatched trio of ponies and draconequus entered the town square  everything was in full motion it now being the time merchants began selling their wares. Over by the apple stand a orange earth pony mare donning a wide Stetson on her head was helping a very large red earth pony stallion who interestingly enough had the same poker face as Maud on at the moment unload apples from a wagon. “Applejack if  I remember correctly.” thought Maud. Next to her a trio of mares with what looked like flower cutie marks were chatting by their stand  of brightly coloured flowers. That was one thing Maud disliked about Ponyville, the brightness of it all. Who wouldn't agree that a large lateral display of rocks could easily outshine the most bright flowers. She would never understand.

A faint rainbow trail could be spotted in the distance if one looked hard enough. Maud thought she could recall where it came from but it slipped her mind . Above all of these distractions was the noise. Traders shouted attempting to sell their product while Foals played on the ground. Being particularly noisy was this group of three foals  that seemed to be wearing matching capes.

Maud tore her attention away from these distractions to focus on the bright pink and white shop that was sugar cube corner.” Okie dokie Maud you know where we are now, Unfortunately Mrs cake said I've got to work  two more hours to deal with the lunchtime rush bake then we can have some fun, but don’t worry Discord here will take care of you for now, he may seem old and grumpy but he’ll stay with you because he promised and nopony or draconequus breaks a pinkie promise am I right!?”

As she said this she gave discord a glare that almost made him soil himself. In fact it took all of his chaotic will to not make it actually happen with his magic. “ Why of course Pinkie I would never leave your ...uhh bestest sister Maudy Pie alone” Discord said literally sweating buckets, no literally they actually fell from his coat onto the floor while Discord shivered like a foal witnessing his parents kiss for the first time.

“ Well okay then you to have fun!” Pinkie smiled and trotted into the bakery humming to herself. Maud turned to Discord and gave him a look that conveyed her feelings.

“ Oh shut up it’s not like she scares you too” Discord retorted huffing and crossing his arms. Maud almost smiled at his childish behaviour coming from a 1000 year old god of chaos ,but stopped herself realising she needed to be more alert if she were to win this game of keeping a poker face. She turned to Discord and said

“Are you going to take me on a tour around Ponyville Mr Discord?” she asked .

“ Yep” came his short reply.

“Then I'm gonna take you to my own personal piece of chaos” Thought Discord.

Soon after the duo came to a large store that had large dresses and glittering gemstones out front. “ Not that bad but i would have put the diamonds more spread out and in a convex pattern” Maud thought examining one of the dresses in the front window calling upon her vast knowledge of geodes.

“ Our first stop my dear” Discord announced having gotten over his episode from earlier. “ As you can see this shop belongs to a seamstress one named Rarity, she’s stuck up and as stubborn as a mule like most of your sister’s friends. But even I have to admit her dresses ain't bad if I must degrade myself with saying so, care to step inside” He proffered. Maud nodded and followed Discord through the door into the store.

Inside the store a alabaster white unicorn with a long obviously High maintenance Mane styled in curls sat by a long swath of cloth using her magic to delicately unfold it. At Discord and Mauds entrance she jumped revealing pure aquamarine blue eyes that shone with the power of creation. This was obviously the store’s owner and pinkie’s friend Rarity.

As her eyes fell on Discord they shone with distaste but practically almost exploded when her eyes fell on Maud. “ Darling whatever happened to your mane !” she cried jumping up to inspect Maud’s frazzled mane courtesy of Discord’s prank.

“ Discord happened Miss Rarity” Maud said betraying no emotion in her voice or face.

“ Understandable but please don’t call me Miss just Rarity will do ,now to the matter at hoof we must fix your mane my darling ,free of charge for this travesty of a mane!”

“Thanks” thought Maud sarcastically her feelings slightly hurt at the jab to her style.

“Now where are my scissors” Rarity said.

“Oh no need Rarity I've got it” replied Discord who snapped his talons. The room was filled with a bright light. When it faded Both Rarity and Maud’s manes disappeared. Upon seeing her own mane in Discords Lion paw Rarity fainted falling to the floor unceremoniously. When she recovered she began to chase Discord round the store with sewing pins while shouting obscenities bad enough to make a royal guard blush . Discord contorted his body into various shapes to avoid the attacks even going as far as pulling himself in half to avoid Rarity’s pins. “ But I thought you wanted your manes cut” Discord grinned as he hopped around the room laughing like a foal during Hearth's warming eve .When she caught him she forced him to change their manes back to normal or face severe consequences. Despite having twenty sewing needles in his muzzle he grinned and clicked his talons there manes turned back to normal Maud’s now de frazzled. Rarity then booted Discord out of the store. Maud gave a short apology for his behaviour and followed him out.

She found him upside down leaning against the wall as his eyes rolled in their sockets before coming to rest on her. “ what's her problem eh?” he asked. Maud raised an eyebrow.”You're no fun you know that”he huffed Picking himself up he dusted himself off and turned back to her “ Well ready to continue my dear?”
