Spirits and Globs
The Multiverse is big, so big. One wouldn't believe how big it would be. It has very possible universes, worlds, one you has to believe to see. There are pathways to each one and you have to know how to get here if you wish to explore them at your own risk.
Which isn't a problem for a certain Spirit of Chaos who appears in the area...with a certain friend of his who burps and looks a bit surprised.
"This is the multiverse, Smooze old friend." Discord said to the Smooze with a smile. "I decided to take you here. After all the trouble I've gave you during the previous Gala, I felt like it's for the first." The green blob grunts a bit. "Yes, it's safe. Come, let us have some fun!"
The Smooze happily nods as the two moves on their way. They can't wait to see what worlds awaits them. The two goes down the pathway, heading to a world. The Smooze looks up and burps as he points at something. Discord saw a familiar Ghost with the Most with a brown creature. And another Discord with another Smooze! What's this now?
"Well, now. Looks like at least two others had a similar idea to me." Discord said in amusement, meeting himself.
Discord from DSSF adds, "Yes, but that shouldn't be surprising in my case considering, well, I AM you."
"And I'm your analogue in my own universe. Nice to see you again, Dizzy." Beetlejuice said, greeting his old friend from a long time ago.
"Likewise, B.J Anyway, I will like to introduce my newest pal, the Smooze." Discord P. said as he motions to the Smooze who burps and waves a bit.
Discord DSSF motions to his own Smooze who said, "Same here. This is MY universe's Smooze."
"And this is the Thing (not to be confused with Benjamin Jacob Grimm)." Beetlejuice said as he introduces his own Smooze like creature who burps so loudly, every world in the area would hear him.
"Let me guess; these guys were your companions to your universe's most recent Galas and you kind of felt like you owed it to them to try to be a better friend to them." Discord P. said, guessing what his counterparts are doing right now.
"Yes." The other two said at once, confirming Discord P.'s point of thought.
“Look, our pals are getting along already!"
The Smooze burps and shakes hands, or whatever you call hands with him, with the Thing who laughs and did the same thing, as he did the same thing for the other Smooze.
"Well, why don't we hang out, all of us?" Beetlejuice ask as he changes his outfit to a tourist like one. "It will be fun!"
"Indeed, it will be, old chum!" Discord P. exclaims, taking out the board games. "I got the games!"
"Yeah, of course." Discord DSSP remarks, rubbing his hands eagerly.
And so the six friends begins travelling to new worlds. They saw some that are amazing or unreal. Some are...too gruesome to explain. There's even some with non-straight ponies which weirded the two spirits out and confused the blobs. Some are too terrifying like the time at Freddy's!
As the four left the previous work, they stop at some sort of restaurant used for pit stops and eating to get some food. While the spirits have some...weird food like French Flies or Handburgers, their pals just help themselves to some jewels and marshmallows.
During this time, The Spirits of Chaos comment on what has been going on in their own worlds, with the one from Equestria Prime telling all of his stories as is Beetlejuice.
Discord DSSF comment, "Well, my universe's Pinkie Pie; now an Alicorn and the Princess of Friendship; is, even without activating "Rainbow Power", twenty percent more powerful than me." The creature bits into food then add, "And, I must admit, staying on the better side of a pony who is actually more powerful than me IS a darn good incentive for me to be on my, well, better behavior most of the time."
"Same here, only with Twilight." Discord P. remarks with a nod as he drink some of his purple shampoo. "Did I mention one time how Twilight and Spike once switch places? Bizarre, even for me!"
Discord DSSF comment, "Yeah. I seem to recall seeing that universe where Furrball and Blossom essentially switched roles too. Miss McLoon was still the bearer of the Element of Magic, but all the other bearers were different: Danny, June, Paradox, Dee-Dee and one other I can't remember right now. Also, while Furrball DID learn some magic, he was not even close to as powerful as Blossom in most of the other universes and was not Obi Wan's personal student. Instead, he works as a reporter for a Raident Gardens newspaper. When Princess freed Blossom from the cyrogenic capsule, Blossom was exposed to concentrated Antidote X that permanently took away her pre-existing abilities, while also being exposed to dragon DNA that turned her into a half-dragon freak. Furrball and Blossom became friends after Furrball wrote a story for the school paper in the second grade that exposed Princess as a bully and a cheater."
"I don't recall seeing that happening in my world." Beetlejuice said in surprise upon hearing that.
"Well, it happened in a parallel like world of yours, my good friend. There are even different versions of where you came from."
"Oh, I see what you mean now." The Ghost with the Most remarks as he swallow some beetles. Beetlejuice comment, "And, now that I remember correctly, there was even a universe where Buttercup became Obi Wan's personal student instead of Blossom. As well as a universe where neither Obi Wan nor Anakin went rogue. Things went well there for a couple thousand years, until the Plunder Vines mess. That universe's me had to bring in Element bearers from seven different universes to fix the problem."
"Oh, the possibilities yes." Discord said as he sits back in his seat. In the background, the Smoozes play a game of keep away with a fruit with the Thing trying to catch it. "BJ? I betcha you saw some more besides what you mention, correct?"
Beetlejuice passingly mention, "Yep! I saw other alternative universes in the past, including one where Obi Wan was the one who went mad instead of Anakin, one where Anakin and Obi Wan BOTH went rogue and Snow White is the ruler, one where Blossom and Furrball ended up switching roles to an extent and one where the Elements of Harmony ended up in New York instead of Townsville and Blossom ended up befriending Sabrina Spellman, a semi-reformed Princess Morebucks, Indiana Jones, Kim's rich big city aunt and a couple others I can't think of right now."
"Sounds like other versions of fan-fictions made by the authors that can be found in fimfiction." Discord DSSP said, scratching his chin. "You know, I'm jealous that my series haven't been seen yet."
"Oh, give it time, Discord DSSP." Discord P said, stretching his arm to pat himself on the back, the other Discord. "That time will come when Jus gets to it."
Beetlejuice tease, "If I didn't know any better, I'd swear you two Discords each had crushes on YOUR universes' respective Fluttershys. Which makes it a good thing I DO know better."
Discord DSSP put in, "Just like WE know better than to think YOU have a crush on Bubbles."
Beetlejuice nod and say, "Touche`."
"BTW, who's keeping an eye on the creatures?"
The trio turns to see the Smoozes and the Thing, somehow combined altogether. They burp, looking confused as they move around. The other customers yelp as they move out of the way.
"Come on, let's get them unstuck." Discord P said, rolling his eyes a bit as he and his pals got up from their seats.
A spirit's work is never done!
After getting the Smoozes and the Thing unstuck, the trio leaves the restaurant to resume their universe hopping. At some point, they arrive at the KNS universe, throwing pies at some of the Imperial Stormtroopers and messing with their equipment before escaping that area.
"I got to admit, I have quite some fun!" Beetlejuice exclaims, making an anvil appears and smashing a robot. "And our pals are too!"
Indeed, the Smooze of Discord P.'s work ate some of the shiny stuff belonging to the Imperials, taking off with them. Of course, his pal has to make him spit the stuff out.
"Even the Thing is too." Discord DSSP chuckles as the Thing help himself to some of the ships, keeping the villains from using them.
"Well, whatcha think, Smooze Face? Love it?" Discord ask his pal who nods and spits. "I'm glad you did."
"Best field trip ever!" Beetlejuice exclaims, holding up a thumbs sign on his hand, waving it while the Thing laughs a bit.
"Hey, I got an idea, boys!" Discord DSSP exclaims with a sly smirk. "Let's go to the Nack and Psycho world."
A while later in the Nack and Psycho world, the Deadly Six yelps as the Smoozes and Thing spit out blobs at them before their pals teleport them out. The trio of monsters cheers wildly.
All in all, best field trip ever!
