"And that's how I helped the ponies in Appaloosa gain control of the irrigation system." Princess Twilight Sparkle finished. The ponies were having a picnic in Ponyville. After all, it seemed like they rarely had a normal day. Something always happened and caused a problem no matter where they went. So, hopefully today, there wouldn't be a problem. Hopefully.
"Wait, could you star over again?" Applejack asked, grabbing another apple. "I missed out on a lot of it."
Twilight frowned. "Why?"
"Well, darling, you were speaking a little fast." Rarity said.
Twilight groaned. "I went to Appaloosa to meet up with Braeburn, and..."
A white flash came out of nowhere, blinding the six ponies. The flash died down a male unicorn was leaning next to a tree, eating an apple. His coat was a light auburn, and his mane was light brown, with darker highlights. His olive colored eyes were dark and dim, and yet bright and welcoming. He wore what looked like a suit. The collar was a grayish-teal, and the top of the suit was red, and below that was solid black. His cutie mark was just a letter. It was a q.
"You know, you're stories are a little dull." The pony spoke. "Now, I'm a good story teller. For example, 'Picard and Data sat in the holodeck fishing...'"
The pony continued on with his story, while Twilight examined his voice. The tone, the sound, of an ego. Then, Twilight realized who it was. "Discord!" She shouted. "What are your doing here?!"
The pony stopped talking. "Discord?" He pondered the name for a bit. "Yes, well, I suppose that was an accurate description. Well, sort of. 'Lacking harmony,' doesn't really suit me."
"Discord, this isn't funny." Twilight interrupted. "I know it's you, and why are you a pony? And, what's with that ridiculous outfit?!"
The unicorn looked upward and sighed. "You mean Discord as a name, don't you?" The pony asked. "If that's the case, then you're dead wrong. I am Q, not Discord, though the name is familiar. Well, I am one Q. My wife is named Q, along with my son, and mentor, and boss, and..."
"Enough!" Twilight groaned.
"Oh, come now, uh..." Q stuttered. "What is your name?"
Twilight sighed. "I am Princess Twilight Sparkle."
"Well, mon princesse, aren't you going to introduce me to your friends?" Q asked.
Twilight groaned once more. "That's Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rarity."
"Oh!" Q teleported in a flash and reappeared next to the five ponies. "What a lovely group! I couldn't tell you the last time I saw so many ponies of such difference and appearance. Then again, it's been over a thousand years since I was last here."
"Q," Twilight asked, "assuming that's your name, what are you, as your obviously not a pony."
"Oh, i couldn't be confined to such a corporeal existence." Q said. "I am a Q."
"Yeah, I got that." Twilight said.
"No, now, you misunderstood." Q said. "I am a member of the Q Continuum. I am an omnipotent being, from the beginning of time. I can do anything, and be anywhere."
"You seem an awful lot like Discord." Rainbow Dash said, flying up into Q's face. "And, if you are like Discord, it means you're trouble."
Q moved Rainbow Dash out of the way, and looked over Ponyville. "Trouble? No, not trouble. More like, an issue." And, with a flash, Q vanished.
"Who was that?" Fluttershy asked.
"I don't know." Twilight said, "but, whoever he is, we'd better keep an eye out for him."
