~~~~~~~~~~~Earth: Onyx's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~

I completely hate school. There's hardly anything that's actually "fun" about it. Everything is too orderly in all the classrooms, it always seems too quiet, and almost everyone is serious about their work. Once in a while, I get so bored, that I organize enormous pranks to disrupt the peace of these long and boring days. Today happened to be one of those times.

My friend and I had decided to replace all of the seats from our teacher's chairs with very sensitive car airbags, an idea I had gotten from an old movie. Even though the cost to set up all of the chairs was quite high, the debt of the outcome made it seem like the cost of an everyday item.

"FOUR HUNDRED AND THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS?" my dad yelled furiously at me.

We were currently in the living room of my house. The room was fairly plain, the walls were a beige color and the ceiling was white. The floor was padded with a light blue mat cover. The room contained a few couches, two coffee tables, a fifty inch, flat screen TV and a black bean bag seat that I was currently sitting on. My dad was simply standing in front of me with an angry look on his face.

"Plus a couple thousand for damage and repairs," I replied with a smirk on my face as I heard soft laughter in the back of my head.

"Do you think this a joke, young man?" he asked me with a somewhat lowered voice, "You're fifteen years old now, you should at least try to act your age!"

"Well, you're fifty three and you still can't figure out how to be a good dad!" I snapped back.

I saw his eyes start to water with tears of rage. His face turned from one of anger to one of great disappointment. I knew I hit a very sensitive spot in him, but I still couldn't care less. The laughter inside my head began to intensify, ending with a soft whisper,

"Yes, he is definitely the one..." the deep voice grumbled.

"You know what son, I've had enough of your bullshit," my dad said softly, "You are going to work in any way possible until you pay this yourself."

"What makes you think I'm going to do that?" I asked, with a very bored expression on my face.

"The fact that if you don't pay that debt by the time you become sixteen, you will be kicked out of this house!" he answered with a stomp at the end. This made me jump out of the deep groove of my bean bag faster than lightning.

"WHAT!?" I replied, my eyes growing wider than your mum.

"You heard me," he stated "For now, I'll take care of the debt, but you will still have to pay me back the total amount in, lets see, eleven and a half months," he said while looking at the calendar on his phone.

"How am I supposed to save that much money in less than a year?" I asked as I started to panic.

My dad coldly chuckled, "If I were you, I'd stop wasting time and start searching for a job now, because I know for damn sure that mowing lawns every weekend won't cut it this time"

I just stared at him in total shock. This can't be happening, I thought to myself. I quickly came back to my senses and shook my head.

"Fine, I'll get you your stupid money," I said, grinding my teeth.

"Great! I guess I'll leave you to it, you're suspended for the remainder of the year so you shouldn't be too busy anyway," He said with a dark smile.

I didn't feel like a response was necessary, so I just turned around, and walked to my room.

As soon as I walked into my room, I slammed the door shut as hard I could. I then proceeded to jump into my crimson bed, closing my eyes shut.

My room was actually pretty big. It had a king-sized bed, another black bean bag, a couch, a brown desk with a computer on top, and a few drawers. There was also a poster of a YouTube channel named Monstercat close to the window, and a big cushion on the floor for my cat, moonlight, to sleep in.

"Fuck!" I yelled into my pillow, my eyes starting to water.

I couldn't believe it! A stupid prank got me pretty much kicked out of my house.

"A very deadly prank" said the voice in my head.

"Shut up! This is all your fault goddamn it!" I shot back at the voice.

"I guess you're kinda right on that one," he said, his voice becoming a little stronger, "but there's a way that I can get you out of this mess."

"Why should I trust you? All you are is a random voice in my head that is probably a sign of me being insane!" I responded.

"Well, for one, I've been in your head since you were a baby, thus meaning you aren't insane," the voice said becoming increasingly louder, "Two, do you have any idea on how you can get that much money in less than a year? Even if you start selling illegal merchandise, I don't see how it could be humanly possible."

"Fair point," I said, wiping a few tears from my eyes, "so what do I have to do?"

"I'm getting to it," the voice said, sounding so loud that it almost felt like it came from behind me, "three, all you need to do is come with me into a different world and become a present for somepony very special to me."

"...What?" I said completely confused. Wait, did he say some-'pony'?

The voice simply chuckled as I began to spin into an endless void.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Pocket Dimension: Discord's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"There goes fifteen hours of my eternal life," I said to myself. "I can't believe I'm doing all of this just for her..."

Don't you want her to be your marefriend? I thought, causing me to blush slightly.

"No!" I shouted in response

I want to make her my wife I thought instead.

"Oh shut up!" I roared at myself. "Just let me finish this already!" I said as I started molding the pocket dimension into a small room that resembled an abandoned cottage.

I went all out with the details, creating random cracks and dents in the floor boards, adding cobwebs and spiders in the corners, and as a finishing touch, I stained it all with over 50 shades of grey. I swear, this place is starting to give me the chills, even if I made it.

"It sill looks rather empty..." I thought as I snapped my fingers, causing random pieces of furniture to appear. First, I created a medium-sized black desk with a rim of dark, onyx gemstones and larger emeralds in each of the corners. Afterwards, I proceeded to create a large, black bookshelf containing a wide range of books of all kinds, most unknown to ponykind.

"This would make Twilight have a bookgasm..." I said with a small chuckle.

After adding a few more details and furniture, I used a most of my chaotic energy to create the cursed item: The Onyx Doll. Making a shell for a human being isn't that simple you know? You have to forge every nerve in the body, then create all of the organs, connect all of the body systems, all of the little details, and finally turn all of that into wool and cotton. Sounds easy right? Well that's not all. What really takes the cake is making space in the doll to carry a soul. Making a soul carrier item is by far one of the most difficult things for me due to the fact that since the soul is meant to be able to wonder around freely when outside of the human body, any small dent in the soul carrier can cause the soul to escape the item and disappear into the world.

"But Daddy, can't you just find the soul and put it back?" Screwball asks out of nowhere.

"I'm glad you asked, Screwball," I replied.

Side note: For those of you who don't know Screwball, she is the daughter of Discord. No one is entirely sure where she is from or how she was created.

"The thing with souls is, you can't track them, and sometimes you can't even see them, thus causing them to be hard to manage."

"Oh, ok!" Screwball said as she faded away.

Don't you think now would be a good time to bring the human in? I thought to myself.

"Oh my, you're right, I guess I just got a little carried away with the soul explanation..." I said as I snapped my fingers, causing the human to appear in the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Pocket Dimension: Onyx's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When the world stopped spinning, I became aware of my surroundings. I was currently in an old room, with rotting floor boards and spider webs everywhere. The walls were painted dark shades of grey, each of them emitting a strong feeling of dread. While most people would find this entirely creepy, I found it quite... homey. I felt like some kind of safe haven were I could rest without a care in the world. I noticed there was a black bookshelf full of different books ranging from "Warriors: Into The Wild" to "Fifty Shades Of Grey." I also noticed a desk close to the edge of the room. The desk had a rim of onyx jewels all around, with slightly bigger emeralds in each corner. I also noticed a small object on top of the desk that made my curiosity enlarge.

As I took a few steps forward to examine the object, the floor let out a symphony of squeaks throughout the room. Surprisingly enough, the noises didn't bother me at all, but instead calmed my nerves slightly. What did bother me however, was the fact that the object was a doll that had long and wavy black hair, a black suit, and a pair of black pants, making it look like a voodoo doll of some kind, that looked exactly like me on my 15th birthday. Every detail was freakishly accurate, from all the small stains of food on my pants, to every hair in my head. Not a single thing was off from the design of the doll. It even has the scar in my hand...

"I see you have interest in the doll, my dear friend," the voice said, this time definitely behind me.

I immediately turned around, only to see one of the most distorted creatures I've seen in my life. It appeared to be some kind of weird chimera thing. I still can't find an accurate way to describe how it looked. Standing up at least a good eight feet tall, (not including the tail), the creature actually looked like some kind of cartoon style monster.

Of course, my first reaction when I saw it was screaming at the top of my lungs:

"WHAT THE HELL!?"

The creature just looked at me with a small grin as an eerie silence filled the room.

"It's more like who the hell," it calmly responded, "I am Discord, the lord of all chaos around the world!"

I couldn't help but stare at him in total awe. His figure looked so chaotic, but at the same time it looked so majestic.

"...What are you?" I softly whispered.

"I am a god from a distant world, in the shape of a draconequus," he answered proudly.

A draconequus... I've never heard of any mythical creature like that, but the name sounded very familiar. I quickly snapped out of my thoughts as I shook my head and got back to the point.

"Well, what do you need me to do?" I asked very seriously.

"Really? You're not going to question where you are, how you got here, or even where I come from?" Discord confusingly asked.

"I honestly don't care," I answered, "and this place seems relatively cozy, so I don't mind being here."

"Wow, you had a very different reaction than from what I was expecting," Discord said, a lion's paw raising to his chin slowly.

"Look, Discord, are you going to tell me what I have to do or not?" I asked, getting slightly frustrated.

"Again, I'm getting to it," he answered, "anyway, do you like the doll? I made it myself!"

I slowly looked back at the doll, still unable to get over it's realistic design. I simply nodded while crossing my arms.

"Wonderful!" Discord said, his voice filling up with delight, "All you need to do is become that doll for a week."

"...What's going to happen to me while I stay as the doll?" I asked.

"Well, you might be forced into participating in a tea party or two," Discord replied with a smile, "nothing you can't handle, I assure you."

The deal sounded fairly simple, Be a doll for a week, and get a load of money, but I still wasn't sure about it.

"Will I be able to move?" I asked, trying to find any ways this could hurt me.

"You will be able to do anything you please, as long as no one sees you doing it," Discord responded. Huh, real life "Toy Story"

"Alright, I'm in!" I said with a smile of my own.

The draconequus just stared at me with confused eyes.

"That was way to easy..." Discord mumbled, "well, would you like to know some... details, about your task?"

"Sure, fill me in I guess," I responded flatly.

"Marvelous, let's get started!" Discord said with a wide smile, as he snapped his talons.

I suddenly felt the world start to enlarge around me as I started to lose balance. I saw my skin start to lose it's rough, fleshy texture, only to be replaced by a soft layer of wool. My fingers started to blend into a single bump at the end of each arm. I felt my clothes shrink until they fit my soft body perfectly. I realized that I was now on top of the desk, staring at Discord eyes. The room looked a lot brighter than it was for some reason.

When I felt my body stop to change, I fell backwards and landed on my ass with a soft squeaking sound. Discord laughed loudly at the adorable sound that emerged from my fluffy body.

"So, how do you feel, Onyx?" Discord asked with a toothy smile.

"It's not s-" I cut myself off with the sound of my voice. It sounded like I hit puberty for the second time.

"Oh my dear lord..." I softly said. Even if I was a doll, my voice made me feel like a badass. "Discord! I have to congratulate thee on thy marvelous job of creating this gift from the heavens above."

"So I take it you'll enjoy your time in that form?" Discord asked slightly confused at my liking of this body.

"You have no idea man!" I said excitedly, "this is by far the best job ever!" I really was starting to like the idea of not doing anything for a week and get paid a boat load of cash.

"Huh..." Discord whispered under his breath. "I should probably mention that you will still have your human needs..."

"Like eating, and stuff?" I asked

"Huh? How did you hear that?" Discord asked with a surprised look on his face.

"I don't know, you tell me," I responded with a smirk

"Oh, right, I forgot," Discord said, as he face pal-, face pawed, "I gave you sharpened senses."

"Oh! So that's why the room looks brighter," I said with curiosity. I wonder what else changed... I took a deep breath and noticed there was at least ten different smells that I didn't recognize. I also noticed that Discord smelled like cotton candy and chocolate milk, but that's beside the point.

"You can stand up now," Discord said firmly, a small frown on his face.

I stood up and realized that even though all of my fingers and toes were turned into smooth bumps, it felt like they were still there, unchanged. I was able to feel every single scratch on the desk beneath me, as well as the room started to feel colder.

"Dude, this awesome!" I said with a giant smile.

"Yeah, well make sure Fluttershy doesn't see you moving at all," Discord said as he snapped his talons, causing a small mirror to appear from thin air.

"Oh, is that the name of your girlfriend?" I asked as I took the mirror that was being handed to me. I noticed Discord blush slightly at the question.

"She's not my marefriend!" Discord shouted. Marefriend? Isn't mare a what you call a female horse?

I looked into the mirror and saw that I had shiny, grey buttons for eyes, as well as a vampire-looking canine hanging out of my mouth. I really like this new body!

"Hey Discord, how did you do all of this?" I asked, "like, how do you summon stuff with a snap of your fingers?"

"This, my friend, is pure magic" Discord answered as he held out his talon, containing a small purple and black flame. Magic? As in, wizard kind of magic?

"Whoa," I said softly, "Hey, can I have some of that magic for myself?"

"Hmm..." Discord hummed, "Sure, why not?" Discord snapped his fingers and suddenly the mystical flames split into two beams that shot towards my hands. I was slightly blinded by the strong light but quickly recovered my vision, only to find small, green gems sewed on to the wrists of my suit. I was able to feel a new, strong source of energy flowing trough my arms, making me feel warm inside. If this is a dream, then I don't want to wake up! I thought with a massive smile that made my cheeks start to hurt.

"Okay, how do I do this?" I asked with excitement.

"All you have to do is think of what you want to do and then snap your fingers. That simple" Discord answered with boredom.

Okay, I want black angel wings! I thought as I snapped my imaginary fingers.

........

NO FUCKING WAY I thought as I felt a lot of weight added to my back. I grabbed the mirror, and guess what: I had WINGS!

"No! Bad Onyx!" Discord shouted as he hit me with a newspaper he summoned, causing my wings to poof out of existence.

"Aww, why can't I have wings?" I asked with a small frown.

"If you have change your body structure, you'll most likely lose your soul," Discord answered quickly. Lose my soul? What?

"Fine," I sighed, "so when does this week start?"

"Thank Celestia! I thought you'd never ask" Discord answered sounding annoyed, "It can start right now if you'd like."

"Umm, sure, but can I ask you a question first?" I asked with a sly smirk.

"Great, what do you want to know now?" Discord said while grinding his teeth.

"Does Fluttershy got the booty?" I asked with a smile. Discord blushed really hard at that question.

"Gah!" Discord said as he snapped his fingers, causing the world around me to start spinning again.
