Chaos Family: Father and Son Tripby AlenasWorldGalChaptersAfter TodayStand Out!Discord's FactoryAfter TodayAuthor's Note To clear a few things up, some of these characters are mine while the ones you mostly likely know are MLP. If you have any questions, just go ahead and ask me. I do not own the My Little Pony characters or the song, "After Today" from the Goofy Movie. Oh and sorry about the Five Nights at Freddy's reference in this chapter! I couldn't resist! After Today In a grassy gold field, a yellow pegasus stallion was running, looking for someone. He had a jet black in the style of Soarin’s, his favorite Wonderbolt. His cutie mark was of a blue lightning bolt with two light blue streaks next to it. He also had bright red eyes. “Zap” A memorizing mare’s voice called his name. He looked up and squinted. He could see a unicorn mare sitting on a stone pedestal. She was a spring green with a red and sky blue curly mane. She had a lily in her mane. It looked exactly like her cutie mark. “Lily” Zap said with a smile. She looked at him with a smile and jumped toward him. He attempted to catch her, but fell as he caught her. They lay in the grass, laughing and smiling at each other. They were just about to kiss, when Lily screamed. “What’s wrong?” Zap asked her, until he looked at his teeth. He had one sharp tooth that was bigger than the rest. Actually, it was about the same size as one of his wings. All of a sudden, his ears turned donkey like, his wings turned into a bat wing and bird wing, his two front hooves turned into an eagle claw and bear paw, his back hooves turned into a dragon foot and deer hoof. He grew horns, his neck got longer, his tail was turning red and scaley, he was turning grey, and his head was becoming a strange shape. He had turned into a giant version of Discord. Lily screamed again, and Zap all of sudden let out an evil laugh and lightning struck behind him. “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Zap screamed as he woke up from his nightmare. He looked at his hooves and felt his face to make sure he didn’t really turn into Discord. He sighed in relief to know he was his normal pony self. He heard walkie-talkie static coming from a walkie-talkie on his nightstand. He grabbed it and started with a groggy “hello?” A voice was heard on the other side. “Zap where the hay are you?!” A worried stallion voice asked him. “I just woke up Orangeball, why you ask?” Zap asked looking at his clock that read 6:15 “Because you’re late, that’s why!” Orangeball told him on the other side. Zap slammed his clock, and went to the right time, 7:50 “Oh Status's Mother!” Zap said quickly running around his room, grabbing his backpack and stuffing it with the stuff he needed. “Did you bring the outfit I asked you to bring?” Zap asked him, quickly. “Yeah, but if my mom finds out, he’s gonna KILL me!” Orangeball said in a hurry. “Well, don’t worry, I’ll get there as fast as I can!” He said, turning off the walkie-talkie. “Morning son!” A voice said at Zap’s door. Standing with the door wide open was Discord, in a pink bath robe and bunny slippers. “Dad!” Zap whined back at him. “Opps! Sorry, I forgot to knock.” Discord closed the door, knocked and then opened it wide open again. “Morning Son! I came to see if you have any dirty clothes your mom needs to…wash” Discord looked at the floor. It was covered in clothes that were only used for special occasions, but there was still a ton. “There it is dad, help yourself.” Zap said still running around getting all the supplies he needed. “Zap, we have been through this before. If you don’t clean up your messes, turn it into a chaotic opportunity.” “I know, but I haven’t had the time! Besides, I’m late for school” Zap whined back at him. “Well I can take you to school if you want!” Discord told Zap, grabbing a vacuum out of nowhere and started vacuuming up the clothes and other things on the floor. “Um, that’s okay, I need the….exercise.” Zap said worriedly running around his room. “Oh come on, Zap” Discord said, not noticing where he was pointing the vacuum. He actually started sucking up a poster of some famous guy. Zap screamed when he saw it. He grabbed it and pulled it out, only for the star’s head to be gone. “Dad you ruined it!” Zap whined. “Sorry. I like him better without a head, though. He looks familiar to me, who is he?” Discord asked him, looking at the poster carefully. “It’s only Joey Maganagan, the coolest warrior and most famous singer in all Equestria AND Alenas.” Zap started putting the poster back on the wall. Joey was a green dragon holding a sword in the air. He was the size of a teenage dragon, but cuter and well associated with all creatures. No pony thought it weird for a dragon to be a celebrity, but ever since they teamed up with the neighboring world, Alenas, it was acceptable. Discord was still in thought. “Sounds familiar, I feel that I met him a thousand years ago.” Zap rolled his eyes. “He’s not that old, dad.” Discord smiled. “Not as old as your old man for sure!” He tried to hug Zap, but he slipped out of his arms and flew out the front door, before his sisters or mom could see him. Zap walked down the dirt road to Ponyville, and was just about to make it on the main road, until he heard a voice behind him that made him cringe. “Zap hold on!” Discord yelled, still wearing the bath robe. “You forgot your lunch. Oh, I left a little surprise in there too.” He said mischievously. Zap opened in cautiously, and he screamed when Angel hopped out. Some other stallions passed by and laughed at him. Zap groaned and started walking down Ponyville’s street, while his dad went back to their house. “They’ve been laughing since I can’t remember” He started singing. “But they’re not gonna laugh anymore.” He started mimicking the bullies. ”No more Zappy the Geek, no more Loser of the Week” He didn’t watch where he was going and slipped on some colt's marbles as he sang the last words, “Like before!” He went through the portal that took him to Alenas Central, the center of Alenas. He was going to school there, since it had a better education plan. Jordyn, a 16-year old girl with brown hair and brown eyes who had a pair of white wings on her back was walking down the street, going to school holding old homework. “No more algebra tests till September!” She threw them up in the air, and then Zap slammed into her, making them both fall on the ground. Zap was grabbed by the tail by two big black clawed fingers. He was turned to see the face of Status, the Death Master who was a giant black dragon with bright red eyes. “No more looking at losers like him.” Status threw Zap, who landed hard against a building. A grown up Snips and Snails walked by. “No more having to cheat” Snails sang, holding up his hoof with writing all over it. Snips grabbed Zap’s lunch. “No more slop left to eat.” The CMC started shooting old underwear in the air. “No more gym, no more gym, no more gym, no more gym!” They sang, as one hit Zap in the face. Diamond Tiara showed Silver Spoon all plans for summer. “Gonna move to the mall!” Diamond noticed Joey Maganagan who went to Alenas High and smiled dreamingly. Instead of showing his interest in her, he came up to Jordyn. “Gonna live in the pool.” Zap came in between Diamond and Joey, to Joey’s delight, not noticing who he was standing next to. “Gonna talk to Lily and not feel like a fool!” Joey and Jordyn walked toward school together, and Diamond scowled and hit Zap in the arm. All the other school kids were running around, cheering. “Cause after today, I ‘m gonna be cruisin’” Zap joined along. “After today she’ll be mine!” Some kids ran by Cheerilee and Big Mac. “After today my brains will be snoozing!” The kids sang. Zap came up out of nowhere and scared Cheerilee. “If I don’t faint I’ll be fine.” He sang, when Cheerilee fainted from the shock. Two pink flamingo twins named Pinky and Pinki were holding two heavy textbooks. “I’ve got forty more minutes of the Toy Economics.” Two boys with orange and black hair and tiger tails named Ned and Ted, popped up and took their textbooks. “And down with those textbooks.” Older Spike walked by, with the newest issue of The Power Ponies. “And up with the comics!” Zap started running to school and stopped at Flora’s souvenir shack. “Just think of all the time I’ve been losing, finding the right thing to say,” Everyone else joined in, singing: “But things will be going my way, after today.” Zap noticed Lily walking by, and he shyly smiled and waved, but she didn’t seem to notice. “She looked right through me, and who could blame her” He sang, putting his head against the window to the shack. He looked in and saw the posters for all the movies Joey had been in, not noticing that his dad was in one. “I need a new me, plus some positive proof that I’m not just a doof.” The school bus passed by, holding a whole bunch of enthusiastic cheerleaders. “After today I’m gonna be cruisin’!” Two teenage changelings sat at the front, looking disgustingly at the cheerleaders. “No more assemblies to cut, blech.” They all got off the bus, singing: “After today my brains will be snoozing.” A brown fat animatronic bear with a top hat, bow tie, red cheeks and a name tag saying “Fred Fazbear” sat on the driver’s seat of the bus, and pulled on the lever to close the doors. “I’m gonna sit on my butt.” Zap looked up at the clock. “I’ve got less than an hour, and when this has ended, I’ll either be famous” He slid down the railing and accidentally bumped into the new principal of the school, Twilight Sparkle. “Or you’ll be suspended!” She sang angrily. Some athletes were running on a track, jumping over hurdles, but were surprised to see Zap cut in front of them and jump over them doing a flip, impressing the coach. “Just think of all the time I’ve been losing, making a cheer I could say.” The students sang. Some girl athletes were doing jumping jacks, until one fell down. Some students were just barely graduating school, and were throwing their hats in the air. “Gonna be on my own.” A pegasus stallion flew off not noticing his mom waiting for a kiss, but noticed that he accidentally threw an unwanted book that slammed into her face. “Kiss the parents goodbye.” Cheerleaders were practicing in the field with the band, with Cotton,a hyper crazy dressed rabbit threw her baton in the air, and caught it in her teeth. “Gonna party from now till the end of July” Everyone sang together. “Things will be going my way,” Zap flew to the top of the benches and sang along. “After today!” Everyone sang, until the bell rang. Everyone looked up, including a couple who were kissing in the school yard. Zap looked at the clock and sighed. “I wish that this was the day, after today.” He accidentally tripped on one of the benches and fell down the rest, but caught himself with his magic before he could hit the dirt ground. Everyone watched and laughed at him, as he turned himself right side up, but he still fell to the ground. As he got up, he heard a sweet voice and two tender hooves help him up. “Are you alright?” The girl said. “Yeah I was just a…” He turned and saw who it was. It was Lily Bud, his all time crush. He stammered a bit, making Lily giggle. Zap started laughing with her, until he made a HUGE mistake. He did his dad’s worst and evil laugh by accident. He gasped, and ran off, only looking back once when he hit a trash can. Lily stood there, and watched him run off curiously. She left when the bell rung again. Stand Out!Zap was walking down the busy hallway of his school as kids either putting things in their lockers or taking things out. He was silently arguing with himself. “The moment she finally talks to you and you do the worst thing possible you pull a Discord! Now she’ll never want to date you.” He unlocked and opened his locker, taking out a textbook which was for math, because the teacher didn’t care that it was the last day and still gave them work. He turned to the orange pegasus standing next to him, who had a spiky red-orange mane, freckles on his muzzle. He was wearing a baseball uniform and cap and his cutie mark was of a baseball. “Hey Orangeball.” Zap commented. Orangeball turned to him and sighed in relief. “Thank Nepliase you got here! Do you know what my mom would do if she finds out I took one of her Wonderbolt outfits and painted it green? She’d turn me into an orange slice cake!” He pulled out a bag with the green uniform, barely anyone could tell what it really looked like. Both his parents were Wonderbolts, Rainbow Dash and Soarin’ and everypony knew not to mess with Rainbow. Zap couldn’t find the right costume fit for ponies, so he settled with one that wouldn’t cost any money or be covered in gems. “Hey, don’t worry, I can handle it if it gets out of hoof...hopefully.” Just then a bright light flashed on them, making them cover their eyes. “And here we have two of the world’s most fascinating creatures, two teenage stallions!” A hyper active voice said. Zap smiled, still covering his eyes and walked toward the light. “Hey Cheesy, could you turn off the light please?” The light was turned off and Zap was standing next to a orange stallion with a messy long dark red mane and white freckles. He had dark sunglasses on, and his cutie mark was of a slice of cheese. He was holding a camera in one hoof, and he smiled widely at Zap. “Hey bro, you ready for everything to go your way?” Zap laughed nervously. “Well, I don’t know if it will go as planned...anything could happen!” “Trust me man, this camera was the new big thing, its got everything, night vision to special effects! But of course, you’re gonna have to keep your end of the bargain..” Zap went to his locker and pulled out a paper bag, handing it to Cheese Butter. Cheese put his hoof inside and his face became really excited when he saw the sight of string cheese in a can. He started spraying the gooey cheese straight into his mouth, while Orange and Zap cringed in disgust. “Woah, Cheesy, easy with the cheese!” Zap told him. Cheese smacked his lips and coughed a little, spitting out cheesy spit. “But it’s delicious!” The bell rang telling the students to get to their classes, before the last day would finally be over. _________________________________________________________ After a short class period, all the students were filed into the auditorium, but none of the teachers noticed Cheese, Zap, and Orange all sneak backstage, except Ms. Sweetie Belle, who let them inside, since it was partially her idea to lighten up the kids before school ended. Zap went into the boy’s bathroom to change into his costume, while cheering could be heard in the auditorium. “Thank you so much for this award!” Sweetie declared, holding a certificate with her magic. “It means so much to know that my students have learned from my classes!” Sweetie was awarded the Best Teacher Award; she was Alenas High’s music teacher, and every student loved her, except the changelings of course. “Oh, and don’t forget about the coming to Carousel Boutique for the live showing of the Joey Maganagan concert!” Someone whispered into Sweetie’s ear. “And now some words-” “Yo Sweetie!” Sweetie glared at a older Button Mash who had become the computer technology teacher, but he slacked off a lot to play video games. “Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me baby!” Sweetie glared, but perked up again, with her normal smile. “And now some words from our wonderful principal, Mrs. Twilight Sparkle!” As Sweetie walked off stage, the alicorn princess, who felt it was her responsibility to help teach the young students of both worlds, walked on proudly. The room had gone completely silent. Thank you, Sweetie.” Twilight said at the podium. “And what an honor it is to speak in front of these future leaders.” She pulled out a stack of papers with her magic, organised it, and set it on the podium, while a group of groans could be heard throughout the large room. “Many times throughout the year,” She looked down at the first paper. “Students have come up to me and asked, Principal Sparkle, what could we do this summer to help educate ourselves more?” Most of the students started dozing off, knowing that a long speech was coming. “Well, we all know that swimming and sleeping in is what is expected during the summer,” a bunch of students were fully asleep, snoring loudly. “but I think that-” Her rambling continued, while Zap looked out into the audience, and saw Lily Bud in the first row, sitting next to Ms. Belle. He was wearing the green Wonderbolts outfit, he dyed his mane dark green, made his eyes slit and emerald green, turned his tail into a dragon tail, and even turned his wings leather all which he used the little chaos magic he had. He gulped nervously at the crowd before him. “Hey you almost done Cheese?” Cheese was wiring together his camera to the school system, connecting it to the movie screen system. “Don’t push me, I’m doing this for you.” Cheese said angrily. Orange walked around nervously. “Are you sure about this?” He asked, holding the camera, and walked toward Zap. “We could get in serious trouble..” He tripped on a wire, and Zap flew toward him with his dragon wings and caught him before he hit the ground. “Just trust me on this one...I just hope this works” Zap bit his lip. “How about..” Twilight said happily. “Science slumber parties?”The spotlight on her turned off, as she looked around curiously. Cheese flipped a switch. “What the-” She turned around and saw the movie screen slowly coming down from the ceiling of the stage. Zap motioned to Orange and Cheese who got themselves ready. “Hey!” She called out. She growled angrily. “You’re not gonna get-” Cheese pulled a lever, sending Twilight screaming down a trapdoor underneath her, she closed right before she could fly out. The screen revealed Zapshy in his dragon getup, stricking a pose. Everyone looked up in excitement and wonder, while Cheese laughed. “Some people settle for the typical thing.” The students started cheering in excitement. Zap kept mouthing himself singing the song, while Orange recorded him, which was instantly sent to the screen with special effects of him turning bright colors, along with four versions of himself all dancing to the tune. “Living all their lives, waiting in the wings.” He dodged some lasers on the screen, even though in reality he was jumping around, while people in the audience cheered him on. “It ain’t a question of if, just a matter of time” He was zapped by one of the lasers, while Lily in the audience started blushing and smiling like crazy, while Sweetie looked at her with a suspicious smile. “Before I move to the front of the line. And once you’re watching every move that I make, you gotta believe that I got what it takes” Zap screamed as he tripped on a wire and fell through the screen, and onto the stage while everyone cheered. He noticed this and saw Lily staring at him, smiling, which caused him to smile too. “To stand out above the crowd, even if I gotta shout out loud, ‘til mine is the only face you’ll see, gonna stand out, ‘til you notice me.” Cheese turned on the smoke machine, creating clouds of smoke on the stage as Zap walked toward Lily. “If I can make you stop and take a look at me instead of just open your eyes.” Zap did a moonwalk with four legs right in front of her, and he turned to her. “There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do if it was getting you to notice, I’m alive.” He started backing away. “All I need is half a chance, a second thought, a second glance to prove, I’ve got whatever it takes, it’s a piece of cake” He spread his wings and jumped in the air, flying above the crowd that was freaking out about everything that was happening at that moment. “Stand out above the crowd, even if I gotta shout out loud.” A prissy teenage unicorn with a fancy hair and make-up called out, “Who is that guy?” A basketball player threw Zap a basketball, who flew next to the hoop and made it in, while everyone cheered louder for him. “‘Til mine is the only face you’ll see,” He was about to reach Lily’s hoof, until the music started slowing down, and a magenta colored magic covered his body. Gonna stand out…” Was all that was heard until the music faded completely. Zap was pulled onto the stage, where a angry Twilight Sparkle stood, with her horn glowing. She put Zap in front of her face and he was swallowed into a magenta void, where he was turned to his normal yellow and black self. Everyone gasped in surprise to find that the biggest dork in school, had pulled off the best prank the school had ever seen. Lily still had a goofy smile plastered on her face. “We’re busted…” Cheese chuckled nervously. Twilight glared at the guilty looking Zap, and sighed. “Just like your father.” He looked down shamefully. Author's Note First off, I don't own the song "Stand Out" it belongs to Disney. What the hay happened? Yesterday I posted this story on the Crossover folder and BOOM! Two favorites and two comments! Thank you all! Now also yesterday I posted a blog saying that the next chapter might be delayed....whelp I guess I lied! It was out of luck that this song came up for the Song Scenes thing I'm doing. Sorry about the Button Mash thing, I didn't know who else to put saying that, but I still ship ButtonBelle. Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed it! P.S., I might have to watch the movie for inspiration, I almost have the entire movie memorized, since I watched it all the time as a kid, but the next scene is all jumbled in my head. Discord's FactoryAuthor's Note Hooray, it's finally here, chapter 3! And after this, we'll get to the start of the rest of the story! Discord's Factory Zap sat gloomily in the office, he was sitting in front of Spike’s desk, who was sitting back with his clawed feet on the desk reading the first Power Ponies, he was catching up until the next comes out. Zap was sitting on a plastic chair, next to Cheese Butter who was happily eating the gooey substance. Cheese turned around holding a large cheese blob in his hooves. “Look, it’s Cheesalot Castle!” He started laughing at his joke, hoping to cheer Zap up, but he just looked down, so Cheese just swallowed the blob whole. The office door opened, and Orange ball walked out, his expression looked like a deer caught in headlights. “My mom is gonna squash me like a parasprite.” He said as he walked past them stiff as a board. Twilight stood in the doorway, she looked as angry as she ever was. She couldn’t get any of the boys’ parents since each had work, so she scolded them and promised to visit them later that day. “Cheese Apple Butter.” She called out. Cheese’s face turned to one of worry, even though it was hard to tell with the dark glasses. He handed Zap his canned cheese and whispered, “Guard this with your life” Zap watched as Cheese walked into the office and behind him, Twilight slammed the door. Zap just placed the cheese on the chair next to him and looked down again. Outside Lily and Sweetie were heading towards the office, hoping to reason with the Princess. Lily decided to come along, hoping a word from a student could help change her mind. They walked in, and Lily noticed Zap sitting in the chair all alone, and she could feel herself blushing. Sweetie noticed this and nudged her to go towards him. She quietly moved the cheese to another seat, and sat down next to him, as she silently looked around. She tapped him lightly on the shoulder, and he jumped to the ceiling in surprise with a yell. “Oh I’m sorry!” She said quietly, looking up. “I didn’t mean to startle you!” Zap looked down at her, and his eyes widened, as he slowly flew back down. "It's uh...alright." He told her blushing. They stood across from each other awkwardly, until Lily cleared her throat. "So um..I liked your dance." "Yeah...yeah?" He perked up, realizing what she had said. "It was from the newest episode of Alenas High, in fact he's singing it has his concert soon!" He told her excitedly. "Oh yeah, Sweetie's playing it live at her sister's place!" She told her, feeling anxious. "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "Yeah..." The awkward silence came back, while Zap felt his heart beating fast, he breathed in and finally decided it was the time. "Hey um...I was wondering if you would like to go to the party with me..." He rubbed his neck, while Lily's smile brightened. "I'd love to!" "You...you would?" He felt like he could soar out of the office any moment. "Yeah..." Lily was blushing madly. "Well I'll pick you up then, and we can walk together." "Alright!" Sweetie slyly walked up to the couple. "Come on Lily, we don't want to spoil the bonding for the party now do we?" "Alright...um here Zap." She handed him a piece of paper with her number and address. "Here it is in case you need it." She slowly backed up to follow Sweetie, but she backed up into a wall, and blushed but ran through the door after Sweetie, who slyly watched them. Zap waved slowly and flew into the air excitedly. "She said yes!" He started dancing. "Everything is perfect!" He started humming as he Spike's claw and danced with him, whose face was just as confused as Twilight and Cheese's as they walked out the office. Spike ended up laughing along with Zap and Cheese who didn't seem to notice Twilight's sour expression. "Spike! Get the Chaos family on the phone right away!" Spike jumped past. "Right away Twi!" He didn't notice as he accidentally jumped onto the desk, almost breaking it. Twilight just rolled her eyes as she went into the office. _______________________________________ Near Fluttershy’s cottage was a giant factory, but it was colorful and didn’t puff out smoke but mist that tasted like baked potatoes. It was Discord’s Chaos Factory, which he was inside watching the machines making his chaotic products. He had created his own company of chaotic foods and items in case ponies wanted fun in their lives. It was Fluttershy’s idea to start with, and now it was his opportunity to spread chaos, but in a different way. He wore a construction helmet, in case something exploded which happened quite often here, along with the room of falling bricks, anvils, and pianos which were used for when other cartoons needed that popular gag. A door opened and he saw large billows of smoke coming from a room, while a pegasus pony came out coughing madly. Discord ran up to them. “Rainbow Crash, what happened?” He asked her, as she took off safety goggles from her eyes. “That stupid machine starting spewing fire at me, literally!” Discord ran in as he saw a machine in the middle of the room, but it seemed to have gotten a mind of its own as it was in the shape of a large dragon. It turned its metal head towards him as it glared at him with Emergency Light eyes. He roared at him loudly, burping out a large fireball towards him from its furnace stomach. Discord quickly armor onto his body with a shield that he used to block the fire. He started flying towards the metal beast, carrying a simple sword with a black handle. The dragon whipped at him with its tail, but Discord flew underneath it, and hopped onto the dragon’s back. “Yee-haw!” He yelled out, wearing cowboy attire. The dragon attempted to buck him off, but it failed to do so, so instead it grabbed Discord with its tail and threw him into the wall. Discord slid down it, but didn’t seem injured. As the dragon turned to him, he noticed the off-switch on its stomach. A lightbulb appeared above his head as he snapped his clawed fingers and he was wearing elf attire and long blonde hair. He pulled out a bow and arrow and shot it at the switch, and to his luck it pressed the switch, turning off the dragon, as it fell with a large *Thud. Discord snapped his fingers as the machine went back to its original form and he was no longer wearing the elf attire. Plus, the smoke cloud had disappeared. Discord looked at Rainbow smugly, who snorted at him. “You're just showing off." Discord flew back up to where Rainbow was as they exited the factory room. "You're good at tackling metal dragons, but you aren't tough enough to tackle your own son, huh?" Rainbow asked Discord with a smirk as they went to check the other rooms of the factory. Rainbow had to repay Discord for when he helped her fulfill her lifelong dream, so she had to work at the Chaos Factory for about a week. "Zap is a good kid, he takes after Fluttershy you know" he smiled as they entered into a room of oranges and apples, bouncing along the walls. They had to duck every now and then so they wouldn't accidentally get pelted with a fruit. "But you just don't discipline him enough, Fluttershy it makes sense why she doesn't, but you?" Rainbow turned to him sharply. "He takes after his mother but he also takes after you." Discord just attempted not to make eye contact. "You gotta keep him under your hoof because if you don't the next thing you know, he'll be turning Ponyville upside down, creating chaos everywhere." "I trust my son as I trust my wife, he's a good kid Crash, you just don't see it." After they left that room, they went into the next where every step or movement you make creates a strange noise. "You never know Dipcord. You should take him somewhere, just the two of you, to know if he really cares and trusts you. Me and Soarin' decided to take one of the twins on a small trip, I'm taking Orangeball camping." She smiled proudly, showing off she was a better parent than The Lord of Chaos. They heard the main doors to the factory open, and a soft voice started calling out. "Discord? Discord where are you?" Around the corner turned Fluttershy as she peeked in to see if he was there. He smiled at her warmly. “What news do you have for me dearest?” He said while Rainbow gagged behind him. “Well I got a call from Twilight saying it was something urgent, she already talked to me about it, and now she wants to talk with you…” Discord snapped his fingers and an old fashioned phone appeared before him. He picked the phone up. “You called Sparkle?” He said as he walked out the door while the mares talked about what was going on. “Yes Discord I have, it’s concerning your son, Zap” “Really? Well, what about?” “Discord, your son is in trouble!” Twilight said angrily, staring out her office window at the yellow pegasus. Discord raised an eyebrow at her. “Yeah?” “Well, aren’t you shocked by this?” “Princess, have you forgotten that trouble is a good word in my dictionary? So” He grinned evilly. “How much chaos did he use?” Twilight groaned as she rubbed her forehead. “He dressed himself up as Joey, and caused the whole school to go in a riot” She said to him in a monotone. “Oh...well that’s no fun! He could have done something cooler like turn the teachers into animal crackers, light your mane on fire, or-” “Discord, this is serious!” She angrily interrupted him. “Do you realize what could happen if events like this keep occurring? I know this was his last year in high school, but if he’s anything like you, he may start doing worse thing!” “Oh, he would be following after his old man!” Discord wiped away a fake tear. “Exactly, meaning he could have the same fate as his father.” Discord’s smile fell. “What do you mean?” “What I’m trying to say is that if things like this keep happening, and his powers and chaos get out of hoof, we’ll have no choice but...turn your son to stone.” “No…” “I’m sorry Discord, but if he keeps this up, he could possibly end up like you...even the same punishment.” It was then she hung up, but Discord was frozen stiff, holding the phone in his paw. A chair appeared by his feet, and he fell into it, still in shock as images of Zap in a stone prison, alone for a thousand years. Fluttershy walked up to him, trying to comfort him by hugging him. “What are we gonna do now?” He asked her. “I was talking with Rainbow and she told me about her camping trip with Orange and well...I thought you could do the same with Zap.” Discord went out of his trance as he turned to her. “You think that could help him.” “I believe it can, maybe a two week trip might work.” She gave him a little smile. “That’s it!” Discord yelled as he jumped out of the chair, startling Fluttershy and Rainbow who had come out to see what was going on. “I’ll take him JellyFish Fishing at Lake Maggie, just like I did when I was a teenager!” "Jellyfish fishing?" Rainbow asked confused. "It's different than you think, they don't sting." Discord started doing flips in the air. "There's nothing like the outdoors to create a bond between a chaotic father and son!" He said as he hugged Fluttershy. "So I'm gonna take my Zappy fishing!" He paused and dropped Fluttershy who flew down to the ground. "Oh my gosh, I better start getting ready for the trip!" Discord flew out the door, while Rainbow and Fluttershy looked at each other in confusion.
After TodayAuthor's Note To clear a few things up, some of these characters are mine while the ones you mostly likely know are MLP. If you have any questions, just go ahead and ask me. I do not own the My Little Pony characters or the song, "After Today" from the Goofy Movie. Oh and sorry about the Five Nights at Freddy's reference in this chapter! I couldn't resist! After Today In a grassy gold field, a yellow pegasus stallion was running, looking for someone. He had a jet black in the style of Soarin’s, his favorite Wonderbolt. His cutie mark was of a blue lightning bolt with two light blue streaks next to it. He also had bright red eyes. “Zap” A memorizing mare’s voice called his name. He looked up and squinted. He could see a unicorn mare sitting on a stone pedestal. She was a spring green with a red and sky blue curly mane. She had a lily in her mane. It looked exactly like her cutie mark. “Lily” Zap said with a smile. She looked at him with a smile and jumped toward him. He attempted to catch her, but fell as he caught her. They lay in the grass, laughing and smiling at each other. They were just about to kiss, when Lily screamed. “What’s wrong?” Zap asked her, until he looked at his teeth. He had one sharp tooth that was bigger than the rest. Actually, it was about the same size as one of his wings. All of a sudden, his ears turned donkey like, his wings turned into a bat wing and bird wing, his two front hooves turned into an eagle claw and bear paw, his back hooves turned into a dragon foot and deer hoof. He grew horns, his neck got longer, his tail was turning red and scaley, he was turning grey, and his head was becoming a strange shape. He had turned into a giant version of Discord. Lily screamed again, and Zap all of sudden let out an evil laugh and lightning struck behind him. “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Zap screamed as he woke up from his nightmare. He looked at his hooves and felt his face to make sure he didn’t really turn into Discord. He sighed in relief to know he was his normal pony self. He heard walkie-talkie static coming from a walkie-talkie on his nightstand. He grabbed it and started with a groggy “hello?” A voice was heard on the other side. “Zap where the hay are you?!” A worried stallion voice asked him. “I just woke up Orangeball, why you ask?” Zap asked looking at his clock that read 6:15 “Because you’re late, that’s why!” Orangeball told him on the other side. Zap slammed his clock, and went to the right time, 7:50 “Oh Status's Mother!” Zap said quickly running around his room, grabbing his backpack and stuffing it with the stuff he needed. “Did you bring the outfit I asked you to bring?” Zap asked him, quickly. “Yeah, but if my mom finds out, he’s gonna KILL me!” Orangeball said in a hurry. “Well, don’t worry, I’ll get there as fast as I can!” He said, turning off the walkie-talkie. “Morning son!” A voice said at Zap’s door. Standing with the door wide open was Discord, in a pink bath robe and bunny slippers. “Dad!” Zap whined back at him. “Opps! Sorry, I forgot to knock.” Discord closed the door, knocked and then opened it wide open again. “Morning Son! I came to see if you have any dirty clothes your mom needs to…wash” Discord looked at the floor. It was covered in clothes that were only used for special occasions, but there was still a ton. “There it is dad, help yourself.” Zap said still running around getting all the supplies he needed. “Zap, we have been through this before. If you don’t clean up your messes, turn it into a chaotic opportunity.” “I know, but I haven’t had the time! Besides, I’m late for school” Zap whined back at him. “Well I can take you to school if you want!” Discord told Zap, grabbing a vacuum out of nowhere and started vacuuming up the clothes and other things on the floor. “Um, that’s okay, I need the….exercise.” Zap said worriedly running around his room. “Oh come on, Zap” Discord said, not noticing where he was pointing the vacuum. He actually started sucking up a poster of some famous guy. Zap screamed when he saw it. He grabbed it and pulled it out, only for the star’s head to be gone. “Dad you ruined it!” Zap whined. “Sorry. I like him better without a head, though. He looks familiar to me, who is he?” Discord asked him, looking at the poster carefully. “It’s only Joey Maganagan, the coolest warrior and most famous singer in all Equestria AND Alenas.” Zap started putting the poster back on the wall. Joey was a green dragon holding a sword in the air. He was the size of a teenage dragon, but cuter and well associated with all creatures. No pony thought it weird for a dragon to be a celebrity, but ever since they teamed up with the neighboring world, Alenas, it was acceptable. Discord was still in thought. “Sounds familiar, I feel that I met him a thousand years ago.” Zap rolled his eyes. “He’s not that old, dad.” Discord smiled. “Not as old as your old man for sure!” He tried to hug Zap, but he slipped out of his arms and flew out the front door, before his sisters or mom could see him. Zap walked down the dirt road to Ponyville, and was just about to make it on the main road, until he heard a voice behind him that made him cringe. “Zap hold on!” Discord yelled, still wearing the bath robe. “You forgot your lunch. Oh, I left a little surprise in there too.” He said mischievously. Zap opened in cautiously, and he screamed when Angel hopped out. Some other stallions passed by and laughed at him. Zap groaned and started walking down Ponyville’s street, while his dad went back to their house. “They’ve been laughing since I can’t remember” He started singing. “But they’re not gonna laugh anymore.” He started mimicking the bullies. ”No more Zappy the Geek, no more Loser of the Week” He didn’t watch where he was going and slipped on some colt's marbles as he sang the last words, “Like before!” He went through the portal that took him to Alenas Central, the center of Alenas. He was going to school there, since it had a better education plan. Jordyn, a 16-year old girl with brown hair and brown eyes who had a pair of white wings on her back was walking down the street, going to school holding old homework. “No more algebra tests till September!” She threw them up in the air, and then Zap slammed into her, making them both fall on the ground. Zap was grabbed by the tail by two big black clawed fingers. He was turned to see the face of Status, the Death Master who was a giant black dragon with bright red eyes. “No more looking at losers like him.” Status threw Zap, who landed hard against a building. A grown up Snips and Snails walked by. “No more having to cheat” Snails sang, holding up his hoof with writing all over it. Snips grabbed Zap’s lunch. “No more slop left to eat.” The CMC started shooting old underwear in the air. “No more gym, no more gym, no more gym, no more gym!” They sang, as one hit Zap in the face. Diamond Tiara showed Silver Spoon all plans for summer. “Gonna move to the mall!” Diamond noticed Joey Maganagan who went to Alenas High and smiled dreamingly. Instead of showing his interest in her, he came up to Jordyn. “Gonna live in the pool.” Zap came in between Diamond and Joey, to Joey’s delight, not noticing who he was standing next to. “Gonna talk to Lily and not feel like a fool!” Joey and Jordyn walked toward school together, and Diamond scowled and hit Zap in the arm. All the other school kids were running around, cheering. “Cause after today, I ‘m gonna be cruisin’” Zap joined along. “After today she’ll be mine!” Some kids ran by Cheerilee and Big Mac. “After today my brains will be snoozing!” The kids sang. Zap came up out of nowhere and scared Cheerilee. “If I don’t faint I’ll be fine.” He sang, when Cheerilee fainted from the shock. Two pink flamingo twins named Pinky and Pinki were holding two heavy textbooks. “I’ve got forty more minutes of the Toy Economics.” Two boys with orange and black hair and tiger tails named Ned and Ted, popped up and took their textbooks. “And down with those textbooks.” Older Spike walked by, with the newest issue of The Power Ponies. “And up with the comics!” Zap started running to school and stopped at Flora’s souvenir shack. “Just think of all the time I’ve been losing, finding the right thing to say,” Everyone else joined in, singing: “But things will be going my way, after today.” Zap noticed Lily walking by, and he shyly smiled and waved, but she didn’t seem to notice. “She looked right through me, and who could blame her” He sang, putting his head against the window to the shack. He looked in and saw the posters for all the movies Joey had been in, not noticing that his dad was in one. “I need a new me, plus some positive proof that I’m not just a doof.” The school bus passed by, holding a whole bunch of enthusiastic cheerleaders. “After today I’m gonna be cruisin’!” Two teenage changelings sat at the front, looking disgustingly at the cheerleaders. “No more assemblies to cut, blech.” They all got off the bus, singing: “After today my brains will be snoozing.” A brown fat animatronic bear with a top hat, bow tie, red cheeks and a name tag saying “Fred Fazbear” sat on the driver’s seat of the bus, and pulled on the lever to close the doors. “I’m gonna sit on my butt.” Zap looked up at the clock. “I’ve got less than an hour, and when this has ended, I’ll either be famous” He slid down the railing and accidentally bumped into the new principal of the school, Twilight Sparkle. “Or you’ll be suspended!” She sang angrily. Some athletes were running on a track, jumping over hurdles, but were surprised to see Zap cut in front of them and jump over them doing a flip, impressing the coach. “Just think of all the time I’ve been losing, making a cheer I could say.” The students sang. Some girl athletes were doing jumping jacks, until one fell down. Some students were just barely graduating school, and were throwing their hats in the air. “Gonna be on my own.” A pegasus stallion flew off not noticing his mom waiting for a kiss, but noticed that he accidentally threw an unwanted book that slammed into her face. “Kiss the parents goodbye.” Cheerleaders were practicing in the field with the band, with Cotton,a hyper crazy dressed rabbit threw her baton in the air, and caught it in her teeth. “Gonna party from now till the end of July” Everyone sang together. “Things will be going my way,” Zap flew to the top of the benches and sang along. “After today!” Everyone sang, until the bell rang. Everyone looked up, including a couple who were kissing in the school yard. Zap looked at the clock and sighed. “I wish that this was the day, after today.” He accidentally tripped on one of the benches and fell down the rest, but caught himself with his magic before he could hit the dirt ground. Everyone watched and laughed at him, as he turned himself right side up, but he still fell to the ground. As he got up, he heard a sweet voice and two tender hooves help him up. “Are you alright?” The girl said. “Yeah I was just a…” He turned and saw who it was. It was Lily Bud, his all time crush. He stammered a bit, making Lily giggle. Zap started laughing with her, until he made a HUGE mistake. He did his dad’s worst and evil laugh by accident. He gasped, and ran off, only looking back once when he hit a trash can. Lily stood there, and watched him run off curiously. She left when the bell rung again.
Stand Out!Zap was walking down the busy hallway of his school as kids either putting things in their lockers or taking things out. He was silently arguing with himself. “The moment she finally talks to you and you do the worst thing possible you pull a Discord! Now she’ll never want to date you.” He unlocked and opened his locker, taking out a textbook which was for math, because the teacher didn’t care that it was the last day and still gave them work. He turned to the orange pegasus standing next to him, who had a spiky red-orange mane, freckles on his muzzle. He was wearing a baseball uniform and cap and his cutie mark was of a baseball. “Hey Orangeball.” Zap commented. Orangeball turned to him and sighed in relief. “Thank Nepliase you got here! Do you know what my mom would do if she finds out I took one of her Wonderbolt outfits and painted it green? She’d turn me into an orange slice cake!” He pulled out a bag with the green uniform, barely anyone could tell what it really looked like. Both his parents were Wonderbolts, Rainbow Dash and Soarin’ and everypony knew not to mess with Rainbow. Zap couldn’t find the right costume fit for ponies, so he settled with one that wouldn’t cost any money or be covered in gems. “Hey, don’t worry, I can handle it if it gets out of hoof...hopefully.” Just then a bright light flashed on them, making them cover their eyes. “And here we have two of the world’s most fascinating creatures, two teenage stallions!” A hyper active voice said. Zap smiled, still covering his eyes and walked toward the light. “Hey Cheesy, could you turn off the light please?” The light was turned off and Zap was standing next to a orange stallion with a messy long dark red mane and white freckles. He had dark sunglasses on, and his cutie mark was of a slice of cheese. He was holding a camera in one hoof, and he smiled widely at Zap. “Hey bro, you ready for everything to go your way?” Zap laughed nervously. “Well, I don’t know if it will go as planned...anything could happen!” “Trust me man, this camera was the new big thing, its got everything, night vision to special effects! But of course, you’re gonna have to keep your end of the bargain..” Zap went to his locker and pulled out a paper bag, handing it to Cheese Butter. Cheese put his hoof inside and his face became really excited when he saw the sight of string cheese in a can. He started spraying the gooey cheese straight into his mouth, while Orange and Zap cringed in disgust. “Woah, Cheesy, easy with the cheese!” Zap told him. Cheese smacked his lips and coughed a little, spitting out cheesy spit. “But it’s delicious!” The bell rang telling the students to get to their classes, before the last day would finally be over. _________________________________________________________ After a short class period, all the students were filed into the auditorium, but none of the teachers noticed Cheese, Zap, and Orange all sneak backstage, except Ms. Sweetie Belle, who let them inside, since it was partially her idea to lighten up the kids before school ended. Zap went into the boy’s bathroom to change into his costume, while cheering could be heard in the auditorium. “Thank you so much for this award!” Sweetie declared, holding a certificate with her magic. “It means so much to know that my students have learned from my classes!” Sweetie was awarded the Best Teacher Award; she was Alenas High’s music teacher, and every student loved her, except the changelings of course. “Oh, and don’t forget about the coming to Carousel Boutique for the live showing of the Joey Maganagan concert!” Someone whispered into Sweetie’s ear. “And now some words-” “Yo Sweetie!” Sweetie glared at a older Button Mash who had become the computer technology teacher, but he slacked off a lot to play video games. “Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me baby!” Sweetie glared, but perked up again, with her normal smile. “And now some words from our wonderful principal, Mrs. Twilight Sparkle!” As Sweetie walked off stage, the alicorn princess, who felt it was her responsibility to help teach the young students of both worlds, walked on proudly. The room had gone completely silent. Thank you, Sweetie.” Twilight said at the podium. “And what an honor it is to speak in front of these future leaders.” She pulled out a stack of papers with her magic, organised it, and set it on the podium, while a group of groans could be heard throughout the large room. “Many times throughout the year,” She looked down at the first paper. “Students have come up to me and asked, Principal Sparkle, what could we do this summer to help educate ourselves more?” Most of the students started dozing off, knowing that a long speech was coming. “Well, we all know that swimming and sleeping in is what is expected during the summer,” a bunch of students were fully asleep, snoring loudly. “but I think that-” Her rambling continued, while Zap looked out into the audience, and saw Lily Bud in the first row, sitting next to Ms. Belle. He was wearing the green Wonderbolts outfit, he dyed his mane dark green, made his eyes slit and emerald green, turned his tail into a dragon tail, and even turned his wings leather all which he used the little chaos magic he had. He gulped nervously at the crowd before him. “Hey you almost done Cheese?” Cheese was wiring together his camera to the school system, connecting it to the movie screen system. “Don’t push me, I’m doing this for you.” Cheese said angrily. Orange walked around nervously. “Are you sure about this?” He asked, holding the camera, and walked toward Zap. “We could get in serious trouble..” He tripped on a wire, and Zap flew toward him with his dragon wings and caught him before he hit the ground. “Just trust me on this one...I just hope this works” Zap bit his lip. “How about..” Twilight said happily. “Science slumber parties?”The spotlight on her turned off, as she looked around curiously. Cheese flipped a switch. “What the-” She turned around and saw the movie screen slowly coming down from the ceiling of the stage. Zap motioned to Orange and Cheese who got themselves ready. “Hey!” She called out. She growled angrily. “You’re not gonna get-” Cheese pulled a lever, sending Twilight screaming down a trapdoor underneath her, she closed right before she could fly out. The screen revealed Zapshy in his dragon getup, stricking a pose. Everyone looked up in excitement and wonder, while Cheese laughed. “Some people settle for the typical thing.” The students started cheering in excitement. Zap kept mouthing himself singing the song, while Orange recorded him, which was instantly sent to the screen with special effects of him turning bright colors, along with four versions of himself all dancing to the tune. “Living all their lives, waiting in the wings.” He dodged some lasers on the screen, even though in reality he was jumping around, while people in the audience cheered him on. “It ain’t a question of if, just a matter of time” He was zapped by one of the lasers, while Lily in the audience started blushing and smiling like crazy, while Sweetie looked at her with a suspicious smile. “Before I move to the front of the line. And once you’re watching every move that I make, you gotta believe that I got what it takes” Zap screamed as he tripped on a wire and fell through the screen, and onto the stage while everyone cheered. He noticed this and saw Lily staring at him, smiling, which caused him to smile too. “To stand out above the crowd, even if I gotta shout out loud, ‘til mine is the only face you’ll see, gonna stand out, ‘til you notice me.” Cheese turned on the smoke machine, creating clouds of smoke on the stage as Zap walked toward Lily. “If I can make you stop and take a look at me instead of just open your eyes.” Zap did a moonwalk with four legs right in front of her, and he turned to her. “There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do if it was getting you to notice, I’m alive.” He started backing away. “All I need is half a chance, a second thought, a second glance to prove, I’ve got whatever it takes, it’s a piece of cake” He spread his wings and jumped in the air, flying above the crowd that was freaking out about everything that was happening at that moment. “Stand out above the crowd, even if I gotta shout out loud.” A prissy teenage unicorn with a fancy hair and make-up called out, “Who is that guy?” A basketball player threw Zap a basketball, who flew next to the hoop and made it in, while everyone cheered louder for him. “‘Til mine is the only face you’ll see,” He was about to reach Lily’s hoof, until the music started slowing down, and a magenta colored magic covered his body. Gonna stand out…” Was all that was heard until the music faded completely. Zap was pulled onto the stage, where a angry Twilight Sparkle stood, with her horn glowing. She put Zap in front of her face and he was swallowed into a magenta void, where he was turned to his normal yellow and black self. Everyone gasped in surprise to find that the biggest dork in school, had pulled off the best prank the school had ever seen. Lily still had a goofy smile plastered on her face. “We’re busted…” Cheese chuckled nervously. Twilight glared at the guilty looking Zap, and sighed. “Just like your father.” He looked down shamefully. Author's Note First off, I don't own the song "Stand Out" it belongs to Disney. What the hay happened? Yesterday I posted this story on the Crossover folder and BOOM! Two favorites and two comments! Thank you all! Now also yesterday I posted a blog saying that the next chapter might be delayed....whelp I guess I lied! It was out of luck that this song came up for the Song Scenes thing I'm doing. Sorry about the Button Mash thing, I didn't know who else to put saying that, but I still ship ButtonBelle. Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed it! P.S., I might have to watch the movie for inspiration, I almost have the entire movie memorized, since I watched it all the time as a kid, but the next scene is all jumbled in my head.
Discord's FactoryAuthor's Note Hooray, it's finally here, chapter 3! And after this, we'll get to the start of the rest of the story! Discord's Factory Zap sat gloomily in the office, he was sitting in front of Spike’s desk, who was sitting back with his clawed feet on the desk reading the first Power Ponies, he was catching up until the next comes out. Zap was sitting on a plastic chair, next to Cheese Butter who was happily eating the gooey substance. Cheese turned around holding a large cheese blob in his hooves. “Look, it’s Cheesalot Castle!” He started laughing at his joke, hoping to cheer Zap up, but he just looked down, so Cheese just swallowed the blob whole. The office door opened, and Orange ball walked out, his expression looked like a deer caught in headlights. “My mom is gonna squash me like a parasprite.” He said as he walked past them stiff as a board. Twilight stood in the doorway, she looked as angry as she ever was. She couldn’t get any of the boys’ parents since each had work, so she scolded them and promised to visit them later that day. “Cheese Apple Butter.” She called out. Cheese’s face turned to one of worry, even though it was hard to tell with the dark glasses. He handed Zap his canned cheese and whispered, “Guard this with your life” Zap watched as Cheese walked into the office and behind him, Twilight slammed the door. Zap just placed the cheese on the chair next to him and looked down again. Outside Lily and Sweetie were heading towards the office, hoping to reason with the Princess. Lily decided to come along, hoping a word from a student could help change her mind. They walked in, and Lily noticed Zap sitting in the chair all alone, and she could feel herself blushing. Sweetie noticed this and nudged her to go towards him. She quietly moved the cheese to another seat, and sat down next to him, as she silently looked around. She tapped him lightly on the shoulder, and he jumped to the ceiling in surprise with a yell. “Oh I’m sorry!” She said quietly, looking up. “I didn’t mean to startle you!” Zap looked down at her, and his eyes widened, as he slowly flew back down. "It's uh...alright." He told her blushing. They stood across from each other awkwardly, until Lily cleared her throat. "So um..I liked your dance." "Yeah...yeah?" He perked up, realizing what she had said. "It was from the newest episode of Alenas High, in fact he's singing it has his concert soon!" He told her excitedly. "Oh yeah, Sweetie's playing it live at her sister's place!" She told her, feeling anxious. "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "Yeah..." The awkward silence came back, while Zap felt his heart beating fast, he breathed in and finally decided it was the time. "Hey um...I was wondering if you would like to go to the party with me..." He rubbed his neck, while Lily's smile brightened. "I'd love to!" "You...you would?" He felt like he could soar out of the office any moment. "Yeah..." Lily was blushing madly. "Well I'll pick you up then, and we can walk together." "Alright!" Sweetie slyly walked up to the couple. "Come on Lily, we don't want to spoil the bonding for the party now do we?" "Alright...um here Zap." She handed him a piece of paper with her number and address. "Here it is in case you need it." She slowly backed up to follow Sweetie, but she backed up into a wall, and blushed but ran through the door after Sweetie, who slyly watched them. Zap waved slowly and flew into the air excitedly. "She said yes!" He started dancing. "Everything is perfect!" He started humming as he Spike's claw and danced with him, whose face was just as confused as Twilight and Cheese's as they walked out the office. Spike ended up laughing along with Zap and Cheese who didn't seem to notice Twilight's sour expression. "Spike! Get the Chaos family on the phone right away!" Spike jumped past. "Right away Twi!" He didn't notice as he accidentally jumped onto the desk, almost breaking it. Twilight just rolled her eyes as she went into the office. _______________________________________ Near Fluttershy’s cottage was a giant factory, but it was colorful and didn’t puff out smoke but mist that tasted like baked potatoes. It was Discord’s Chaos Factory, which he was inside watching the machines making his chaotic products. He had created his own company of chaotic foods and items in case ponies wanted fun in their lives. It was Fluttershy’s idea to start with, and now it was his opportunity to spread chaos, but in a different way. He wore a construction helmet, in case something exploded which happened quite often here, along with the room of falling bricks, anvils, and pianos which were used for when other cartoons needed that popular gag. A door opened and he saw large billows of smoke coming from a room, while a pegasus pony came out coughing madly. Discord ran up to them. “Rainbow Crash, what happened?” He asked her, as she took off safety goggles from her eyes. “That stupid machine starting spewing fire at me, literally!” Discord ran in as he saw a machine in the middle of the room, but it seemed to have gotten a mind of its own as it was in the shape of a large dragon. It turned its metal head towards him as it glared at him with Emergency Light eyes. He roared at him loudly, burping out a large fireball towards him from its furnace stomach. Discord quickly armor onto his body with a shield that he used to block the fire. He started flying towards the metal beast, carrying a simple sword with a black handle. The dragon whipped at him with its tail, but Discord flew underneath it, and hopped onto the dragon’s back. “Yee-haw!” He yelled out, wearing cowboy attire. The dragon attempted to buck him off, but it failed to do so, so instead it grabbed Discord with its tail and threw him into the wall. Discord slid down it, but didn’t seem injured. As the dragon turned to him, he noticed the off-switch on its stomach. A lightbulb appeared above his head as he snapped his clawed fingers and he was wearing elf attire and long blonde hair. He pulled out a bow and arrow and shot it at the switch, and to his luck it pressed the switch, turning off the dragon, as it fell with a large *Thud. Discord snapped his fingers as the machine went back to its original form and he was no longer wearing the elf attire. Plus, the smoke cloud had disappeared. Discord looked at Rainbow smugly, who snorted at him. “You're just showing off." Discord flew back up to where Rainbow was as they exited the factory room. "You're good at tackling metal dragons, but you aren't tough enough to tackle your own son, huh?" Rainbow asked Discord with a smirk as they went to check the other rooms of the factory. Rainbow had to repay Discord for when he helped her fulfill her lifelong dream, so she had to work at the Chaos Factory for about a week. "Zap is a good kid, he takes after Fluttershy you know" he smiled as they entered into a room of oranges and apples, bouncing along the walls. They had to duck every now and then so they wouldn't accidentally get pelted with a fruit. "But you just don't discipline him enough, Fluttershy it makes sense why she doesn't, but you?" Rainbow turned to him sharply. "He takes after his mother but he also takes after you." Discord just attempted not to make eye contact. "You gotta keep him under your hoof because if you don't the next thing you know, he'll be turning Ponyville upside down, creating chaos everywhere." "I trust my son as I trust my wife, he's a good kid Crash, you just don't see it." After they left that room, they went into the next where every step or movement you make creates a strange noise. "You never know Dipcord. You should take him somewhere, just the two of you, to know if he really cares and trusts you. Me and Soarin' decided to take one of the twins on a small trip, I'm taking Orangeball camping." She smiled proudly, showing off she was a better parent than The Lord of Chaos. They heard the main doors to the factory open, and a soft voice started calling out. "Discord? Discord where are you?" Around the corner turned Fluttershy as she peeked in to see if he was there. He smiled at her warmly. “What news do you have for me dearest?” He said while Rainbow gagged behind him. “Well I got a call from Twilight saying it was something urgent, she already talked to me about it, and now she wants to talk with you…” Discord snapped his fingers and an old fashioned phone appeared before him. He picked the phone up. “You called Sparkle?” He said as he walked out the door while the mares talked about what was going on. “Yes Discord I have, it’s concerning your son, Zap” “Really? Well, what about?” “Discord, your son is in trouble!” Twilight said angrily, staring out her office window at the yellow pegasus. Discord raised an eyebrow at her. “Yeah?” “Well, aren’t you shocked by this?” “Princess, have you forgotten that trouble is a good word in my dictionary? So” He grinned evilly. “How much chaos did he use?” Twilight groaned as she rubbed her forehead. “He dressed himself up as Joey, and caused the whole school to go in a riot” She said to him in a monotone. “Oh...well that’s no fun! He could have done something cooler like turn the teachers into animal crackers, light your mane on fire, or-” “Discord, this is serious!” She angrily interrupted him. “Do you realize what could happen if events like this keep occurring? I know this was his last year in high school, but if he’s anything like you, he may start doing worse thing!” “Oh, he would be following after his old man!” Discord wiped away a fake tear. “Exactly, meaning he could have the same fate as his father.” Discord’s smile fell. “What do you mean?” “What I’m trying to say is that if things like this keep happening, and his powers and chaos get out of hoof, we’ll have no choice but...turn your son to stone.” “No…” “I’m sorry Discord, but if he keeps this up, he could possibly end up like you...even the same punishment.” It was then she hung up, but Discord was frozen stiff, holding the phone in his paw. A chair appeared by his feet, and he fell into it, still in shock as images of Zap in a stone prison, alone for a thousand years. Fluttershy walked up to him, trying to comfort him by hugging him. “What are we gonna do now?” He asked her. “I was talking with Rainbow and she told me about her camping trip with Orange and well...I thought you could do the same with Zap.” Discord went out of his trance as he turned to her. “You think that could help him.” “I believe it can, maybe a two week trip might work.” She gave him a little smile. “That’s it!” Discord yelled as he jumped out of the chair, startling Fluttershy and Rainbow who had come out to see what was going on. “I’ll take him JellyFish Fishing at Lake Maggie, just like I did when I was a teenager!” "Jellyfish fishing?" Rainbow asked confused. "It's different than you think, they don't sting." Discord started doing flips in the air. "There's nothing like the outdoors to create a bond between a chaotic father and son!" He said as he hugged Fluttershy. "So I'm gonna take my Zappy fishing!" He paused and dropped Fluttershy who flew down to the ground. "Oh my gosh, I better start getting ready for the trip!" Discord flew out the door, while Rainbow and Fluttershy looked at each other in confusion.
