What Fun is There in Making Sense?
Shenanigans of a Chaotic Duo
Discord rolled out of bed and fell flat on his ceiling as he heard a knock on his door. Growling to himself at being woken up, Discord snapped his talons to stop his house from spinning the way it did every night. Now standing on the floor, he opened his door and looked out into his dimension for the being that had interrupted his sleep. To his surprise, standing there on his doorstep as if this was just any normal place in Equestria, was a yellow pony with a curly brown mane and tail. “Who are you and what do you want so early?” Discord asked in a bored voice.
The yellow pony in front of him took a deep breath just before bursting into song.
“The super-duper party pony–that pony is me
I always knew that was the kind of pony I would be
When I was but a little colt, I just wanted to play
But everypony told me, "Cheese, that fun just wastes the day"
But when I threw a party and I busted out some moves
The ponies finally saw the light and got into the groove
Discord grunted in surprise as he found himself being picked up and used as an accordion by the hyper pony in front of him.
“The super-duper party pony–that pony is me
You'll never meet another party pony quite like Cheese!
-Well, except for Pinkie Pie of course!-
My parties are all off the hook
I never plan them by the book
I start out fun, then whoopsie-daisy
Everybody just gets crazy!
Bored of snacks made by your mom?
How about a giant party bomb?
Huge piñatas filled with cake
Or dive into my fruit punch lake!
The super-duper party pony–that pony is me
You'll never meet another party pony quite like Cheese
Oh, when I throw a Cheese party, be sure to not be lame
And miss my pie fights, wacky kites, and streamers in your mane
Fizzy drinks, Hawaiian shirts, and brie fondue delight
You know that with Cheese Sandwich, you'll be partying all night!
The super-duper party pony–that pony is me-e-e-e-e”
Discord sighed in relief as he was finally put down and turned to glare at Cheese Sandwich. “So, Cheese Sandwich is it? How did you even find my house in the first place?”
Cheese Sandwich grinned widely, “Oh, that’s not important. I’m just glad to finally meet you. And glad that you were so kind as to put up with my customary introduction that I always do when I arrive in a new town. But, if you really want to know, then, well, I just stumbled upon your dimension and thought I’d take a look around. When I saw all the chaotic elements, such as the flying badgers, I thought that this place just might be where the God of Chaos lived, and, as it turns out, I was right!”
Discord’s mouth dropped, “But-but that just can’t be! Ponies cannot just ‘stumble upon’ my dimension! That- that just makes no sense!”
As Discord started pacing around his house, Cheese Sandwich said, “But Discord, what fun is there in making sense?”
Immediately, Discord whirled back around to face the party pony, obviously beginning to become angry. “That’s my line!”
Cheese Sandwich nodded vigorously, “I know. It’s a personal favorite of mine. I do hope you don’t mind too terribly much.”
His eyes practically bulging out of his head, Discord screeched, “Mind? You’d hope that I don’t mind? Well, of course, why should I? I should be flattered, is that not what you think? Isn’t that what’s going through your freaky little brain right now?!”
For the first time since his arrival, Cheese Sandwich was actually slightly intimidated by Discord and took a step back as he said, “Well, I-I was just hoping that you wouldn’t be mad that I like to quote some of what you’ve said sometimes. And, well, it’s just, I get very excited whenever I hear somepony mention something new about you.”
Discord stopped muttering frantically to himself and said, “Fine, fine, I suppose I don’t mind. What I do mind though, is how you aren’t at all affected by the chaotic nature of my dimension. You-you’re just standing there as if you could be in any place at all, not a dimension hand-crafted by the Master of Chaos!”
Cheese Sandwich chuckled nervously, “Well Discord, I’m not entirely sure myself. I guess it’s just a part of my own personal brand of crazy!”
Discord hit himself on the head with his paw at the exact same time as he snapped his tail. As a result of his actions, one of his flying badgers came and grabbed Cheese Sandwich who gasped, “Are you going to harm me now? I’m sorry, I really am, I can’t help being the way that I am!”
Discord smashed his skull against the doorframe a couple times before he said, “They won’t hurt you, my friend. They’re just going to give you a tour around my dimension before dropping you off someplace in Equestria. Not to be too rude, but I have not had enough sleep to deal with somepony as nonsensical as you. Even Pinkie Pie makes slightly more sense than you, and she doesn’t make sense at all either. Perhaps, next time, I will visit you. At least that way, I’ll have time to mentally prepare myself for your insanity.”
Cheese Sandwich looked slightly confused, “Um, what exactly do you mean by ‘mentally prepare’?”
Discord gave a large, exasperated sigh, “I mean that I need to find a way to lock away my sanity so that I can deal with your craziness. You have got to be the most unpredictable, chaos-defying, insane pony that I’ve ever seen, and I’m thousands of years old!”
Cheese Sandwich nodded, “Well, alright then. If that’s what it will take for you to be able to be around me, then I suppose I can put up with that. After all, just talking to you is more than enough to make up with knowing that you think you might lose your sanity by being near me. Although, I wonder, does a God of Chaos really even have any form of sanity?”
Discord slapped himself a couple times before saying, “Yes, Cheese. I do happen to have my own chaotic form of sanity. But, for your sake, do not ask. Trust me, you don’t want to know. Not even somepony as insane as you could handle it.”
Cheese Sandwich looked a bit nervous as he replied, “Well, I think I’ll just take your word for it. In the meantime, I do think a tour of your dimension sounds nice. And, maybe, if you visit, we could host a party together?”
Discord grinned and rubbed his claws together, “You know, Cheese Sandwich? That sounds like a wonderful idea. We can host the craziest, most chaotic party ever!”
Cheese Sandwich nodded in eager agreement, “Maybe we could even get Pinkie Pie to help us out with our party.”
Discord said, “Yes, I do suppose that we could do that. Also, she and her friend Rainbow Dash are extremely good pranksters. They could help us out, and we could have the best, most prank filled party that has ever existed in the history of Equestria!”
Cheese Sandwich gave a huge smile, “Definitely! I think having you as a fellow party planner could be the funniest thing to ever happen to Equestria. We should totally host a party for the Princesses together!”
Discord laughed boisterously, “Oh, that’s rich, Cheese Sandwich! That is totally something we have got to do someday! You know, you might be super crazy in ways that I don’t understand, but I like you. I like your ideas especially regarding a party for Celestia and Luna.”
Cheese Sandwich could do nothing but smile more widely than he ever had before in his life at those few words from Discord. It was just too unbelievable for him to hear that somepony who was practically his idol, the God of Chaos actually had just told him, to his face at that, that he liked him. Best moment of his life, right there.
With another snap of his tail, the flying badger holding Cheese Sandwich began to fly away, the party pony in its grip waving back at Discord until he was out of sight. Discord, for his part, slammed his door shut, and said to himself, “An accordion? As much as I like that pony, I might, I just might, have preferred being stone to being used as a freaking accordion!”
