Six colourful ponies sat around a table in the basement of Twilight's castle. Various snacks, books, and paper covered most of the wooden surface with little areas open for dice to be rolled. Twilight sat patiently, her NPC finished two hours ago.

"Is anypony finished yet?" said Twilight breaking the silence.

"Almost done," replied Applejack.

Looking around the room she could see Applejack must be the only one. Rainbow Dash looked confused, Fluttershy looked like she wasn't having much better luck, Rarity was reading over her class again, and Pinkie was still snacking while waiting for her turn with one of the three Player's Handbooks.

"I still can't believe I'm here," Rainbow moaned. "Dungeons and Dragons is a nerd game, played by nerds. I should be out training! The next Wonderbolt tryouts are in two weeks! I don't have time to waste on things like this!"

"As opposed to sleeping in my orchard?" Applejack said with a smug look. "Besides this can be mighty fun, just give it a chance."

"Yeah Rainbow," Pinkie chimed in. "It can be super-duper fun with a capital F.U.N!"

"Fine,but this better be as fun as you keep saying it is."

"You gave books a chance and you didn't regret that," said Twilight. "Don't worry you won't regret this either."

After about an hour of dice rolling, rule checking, and snacking, The six where ready to start.

"Well that took longer than expected," Rarity said as she put the finishing touches on her character.

"We'd of been half an hour ago if somepony would of played something out of a Player's Handbook.” Applejack said with a rather annoyed look.

“I'm sorry I played something a bit more advanced than a fighter Applejack. Some of us like to put a bit of flavor and variety in our characters.”

“Ah may have played a fighter every time, but each one's been different. You play a different class the same way and call it different. Twilight's the only pony here that knows what you're play'n, and only because she read all of these before asking any of us to play.”

“Played the same? Why I-”

“Girls, girls, enough arguing,” Twilight cut in. “We're all done now and we can finally start.”

All of a sudden the monster manual's pages started flipping all by themselves. The pages stopped on the draconequus and everyone could see Discord dancing with the usually still painting of a dragon that was on the same page, “Start what?”

“Oh hey Discord, what do you want?”

“Now, now Twilight, I'm disappointed. I can't want to play a game with my friends?” Discord said as he popped out of the book and over to Fluttershy.

“No, er, well yes, but what is your motive? You always just want something for yourself, so let's not waste any time. What do you want?”

“Just what I said I wanted,” Discord said, now hugging Fluttershy. “I want to play a game with my friends.”

“Friends! You betrayed us for power and helped Tirek steal almost all of Equestria's magic, and now we're friends again?” yelled Rainbow

“Oh I'm past all of that, I forgive you”

“You forgive us?”

“Well yes, that's what friends do right? All but one of you couldn't stand being around me, so I took the better option. Now, I've forgiven you for being mean to me.”

“We couldn't stand being around ya,” Applejack began. “Because you didn't take reforming seriously.”

“You should know by now I don't do very well in the serious department.”

“Enough!” Twilight yelled “Discord, why do you want in our game?”

“Actually I would like to run it.”

“You? Run our game? Really?”

“Yes, give me a chance to prove I've reformed.”

“Do we even have a choice?”

“Well, I guess you could go all “Super Pony Sayian” on me, but other than that no.”

Rainbow looked confused “Super Pony What?”

“Don't you worry about it.” Turning back to Twilight. “I won't disappoint you, honest.”

“Oh fine,” Twilight said with a sigh. “What's the worst a chaos god can do right?”

“All let me see your Character Sheets, then we can begin.”

One by one they each handed Discord their characters. “Applejack the fighter and Fluttershy the Druid, never would have guessed. Pinkie Pie the Bard, fitting. Rarity the, umm, What is a Truenamer?”

Rarity answered, “It uses magic differently than other classes. Instead of casting spells like a Wizard it speaks words of power to alter the universe in ways that the caster desires.”

“Why would I allow something like that in my game? As chaotic as it sounds, it also sounds a bit powerful for my taste in players.”

“Well that's the description, but it's not as powerful as it sounds honestly.”

“Well we'll see won't we? Next is Twilight the Cleric. Never would have guessed that.”

“Well somepony had to,” Twilight replied. “Or else we wouldn't have any dedicated healers. It was going to be the NPC but, I'll play it to save time.”

“Fine, I just pegged you for a Wizard that's all. Last we have Rainbow Dash. Very good for your first time Rainbow Dash, I never would have guessed.”

Rainbow Dash wore a worried look on her face right before hearing “I mean a Rogue, I pegged you as more of a Ranger or Fighter,” Discord finished with a grin to rival the Cheshire Cat.

Rainbow let out a weak laugh. “Heh heh, well Twilight said we needed one, so why not, right?”

“Half of you played classes like you are in reality and almost all of you played the same race, but I don't think it'll be a problem. Now, sense everypony is ready. Let's begin,” Discord finished by crumpling up the sheets of paper with their characters on them and eating them.

“What in the hey did ya do that for,” Applejack yelled.

“Well you won't be needing them. Only I need the information on those sheets for this game. Besides, can you imagine how boring it would be to have to check a sheet of paper every time you did something to see what you got? My system is much better,” said Discord, and with a snap of his fingers every pony in the room blacked out.

“Ow,” was the first thing out of Twilight's mouth as she regained consciousness. “Where are we?” where the next. Followed by “what happened?”

She was answered by Discord as he appeared beside her. “Why you're in my game, couldn't you guess? As for what happened, I put all of you here.”

As the rest of her friends began waking up she asked, “well what do we do?”

“Why you adventure of course! But if I where to give a recommendation I would say to go to the nearby town.”

Twilight took a look around. They where in a huge open plain with mountains to the north and and a forest to the east, and sure enough to the south past a small wooded area was a riverside town. After she finished looking around she asked, “how do we get home?”

“There are many ways to do that actually. You could get a wishing gem, or defeat the evil queen, or even find a way that I haven't thought of yet. Oh before I forget I've enlisted the help of some your friends to help.”

“Our friends are helping you?”

“Well some of them. I couldn't get the help of any of the other princesses, but I got some ponies you know to help out.”

“How did you convince our friends to help you?”

“Are you joking? Most of them I asked jumped at the chance to be part of my game. It's amazing how much they care about you.”

“Okay fine,”Twilight looked at the the town. “Well girls it's about a day's walk from here. Let's get moving.”
