Chapter 1: The dream

Discord walked through the everfree forest on his way to Fluttershy's cottage, whistling a little tune. He smiled as he neared the cottage in front of him. He could see Fluttershy surrounded by all sorts of animals as she fed them. Fluttershy saw Discord and smiled.

"Hello Discord." She said.

"Hello Fluttershy." Discord said.

"Umm, Discord, can I ask you a favor and watch the animals while I go and grab some more food for them?" She asked. Discord nods.

"Of course, that's what friends are for." He said. Fluttershy smiles and runs inside. As he looked at the animals, a particular white bunny was giving him the stink eye. Discord raises a eyebrow. He was about to say something, when he felt something very familiar. He looks up and frowns, but sees nothing.

"Strange, I swore that feeling was familiar." He muttered.

"Indeed it is, old friend." A voice said. Discord jumped and turned around. His eyes widen when he sees himself. Discord knew that it was a more evil version of himself. He frowns.

"I thought I got rid of you thousands of years ago." Discord said, sneering.

"You fool," Evil Discord said. "You can never get rid of me. I am you, and you are me. But this time, there will be only one." He said. Evil Discord snapped his fingers and strange cuffs slapped onto Discord's wrists.

"What! What is this!?" Discord yelled as he tried to break free from the cuffs, but couldn't.

"You think I wouldn't have come prepared. Those cuffs cancel out your powers leaving you defenceless." Evil Discord said.

"Let go of me this instance!" Discord yelled.

"Uh, uh, uh, not this time." Evil D said. "This time I win." He said. He then clears his throat. "Five score! Divided by four!" Evil D started to chant playfully as Discord tries to break free.

'No, not this!' Discord thought, struggling harder.

“Your memories removed, your body confused!” Evil D continued. Discord screamed as he felt his powers being striped from him painfully.

"For your insolence you must pay, cast off to lands far far away!" Evil D continued.

"Aaaaaaaaah!!!!" Discord screamed as his vision was filled with light.

"Discord!" He heard Fluttershy scream his name, then darkness.

____________________________________________________________________

"Raaaah!" Michael screamed as he woke up. He breathed heavily as he looked around his room, sweat running down his face. His breathing slowed down as he remembered where he was.

"Wh... what was that?" He muttered. He looked outside and saw that it was still night out. He then looks at his clock and saw that it said 4:10 a.m. He looks at his hands as he remembers the dream.

"It... it felt real. I could feel the pain in that dream. It felt like a memory and not a dream." He muttered. Suddenly a knock at his door brought him out of his stupor. "Come in." He said. The door opened and a 8 year old girl holding a large rainbow dash plush came in.

"Daddy," Sarah said, sounding tired. "I can't sleep. Can I sleep with you?" She asked. Michael smiled and nodded, moving some of the covers from the bed.

"Sure sweetie." He said. Sarah walked to Michael's bed and climbed in. She snuggled Michael and her rainbow dash plush and soon fell asleep. Michael laid back down and remembered the dream. It was still clear in his head.

"It didn't feel like a dream, it felt like a memory. Yet why do I remember it?" He muttered. He sighs and looks at the calendar and sees that it's his 25th birthday.

"Happy birthday to me." Michael muttered, before going back asleep.

Hours Later

Beep beep beep beep beep. The clocks alarm went off telling Michael and Sarah that it's time to wake up. Sarah stirred in her fathers arms.

"Nnngh, five more minutes daddy..." she muttered. Michael yawns.

"Come on, it's a school day and I have to get ready for work." He said quietly.

"I don't wanna go to school...I feel icky" Sarah said, sounding sick. She sighed heavily from the woe that had consumed her over night, placing her in a state of illness. Michael places a hand on her forehead and sees that it's hot.

"Yea, your not feeling well. Will you be fine by yourself while I'm at work?" He asked as he got off the bed. A slim shrug was Sarah's only response. Michael hands Sarah a piece of paper with his phone number.

"If anything comes up or you need me, call me like always, ok?" He asked.

"Okay, daddy." Sarah said, taking the paper. Michael nods and walks to the bathroom to get ready for work. Sarah lays under the covers, not making a sound as her sickness left her feeling weak and fatigued. Michael comes out of the bathroom in his work clothes and sees Sarah underneath the covers.

"Get well, ok?" He said. Sarah nods weakly.

"I'll try. Have a good day at work, daddy." She said. Michael nods and grabs his briefcase.

"I will." He said as Sarah falls asleep. Michael walks out of the room, stopping by the kitchen to grab a donut and his keys from the table, then walks out the door towards his car. He gets in the car and sets his briefcase on the seat next to him. He starts the car and slowly drives out of the driveway. As Michael drove to work, he turns on the radio. As usual, Micheal found himself flipping through the many stations to find something of any interest to delude the boredom he had been feeling. He passed the weather station, the talk show stations, and the music stations. There was nothing good on anyway, or the station was on break. He continued to slowly rotate the slightly squeaky knob, until he swore he heard what sounded like someone somewhere claimed they'd had been turning into a character named Rainbow Dash. Being a brony himself, he decided to listen onto what he assumed was a scam. It gave him a slight peak of interest, and thus, he removed his stubby fingers from the radio dial. Just up ahead along the highway was a sea of red lights in the early morning light, from the taillights of cars that had found themselves in a car jam Micheal was soon to be a part of. As he came to the car jam, he had a bemused look on his face.

"Oh, come on!" He yelled, honking the horn. Car horns blared far and near for about a quarter mile where there had been a flipped car to the side of the road, and the other had almost crossed over the median, broken car parts littered the ground. As Michael drove by the wreckage, he looked at it.

"Dear, Celestia, I hope nobody was hurt badly." He said. He then shakes his head and blinks. "Did I say: dear Celestia?" He muttered. He shrugs and continues to drive. "Ah well." He said. Cars began to move slowly forward as a patrol officer guided them into a single lane. After 20 minutes of getting through and another 10 minutes, he makes it to work. Michael's boss was standing near the entrance, and had noticed Micheal's entrance.

"What's the excuse for being late THIS time?" His boss stated.

"Sorry about that sir, there was a accident on the highway that was bad. It was backed up quite far." Michael said.

"Sure it was." Boss said in a bemused manner, with his thick hairy arms across his chest. He worse a white long sleeve button up, with the sleeves rolled up. His black hair had been brushed back, and a pair of glasses sat in front of his green eyes. Michael lightly gulps. Michael wasn't exactly afraid of his boss, but he didn't want to get fired.

"I shall get started on working now, shall I." Michael said.

"You better." His boss ordered. He fixed his white name tag which read Barnes, and turned to leave. Michael hurries towards his cubicle.

"Man, how I hate Barnes, he can be a real dick sometimes." He muttered. Without realizing it, Micheal's hair had begun to turn white. Michael makes it to his cubicle. He smiles when he sees his mlp figurines on a self above his computer.

"Hey, what took you so long to get here?" A voice behind him said. Michael turns around and sees Jonathan.

"Ah, hey Jonathan, I got here late because of a accident on the highway." Michael said.

"Ah that bites man." Jonathan said. Michael nods.

"It does, it does. It was quite bad too." He said.

"So, have you heard this crazy thing on the news about people apparently turning into ponies?" Jonathan asked.

"I have. I think it's some sort of prank just to get people's attention." Michael said.

"It's real alright." Jonathan said. Jonathan reached behind him and pulled out a short white and mint green tail. "This isn't a cling on." He said, wagging the tail a couple of times. "You jealous?" He asked. Michael spews the coffee that he started to drink from, causing him to cough madly.

"That's... that's impossible!" He yells.

"My girlfriend was sooo jealous! I guess the only bad thing that can come from this is losing my masculinity. Also," Jonathan said. He lifted his shirt from the side to reveal a lyre cutie mark on a small patch of mint green fur. "I'm turning into Lyra!" He said. Michael blankly stares off into space. Jonathan stuffs his tail back into his pants.

"Hey, Micheal, you there?" He asked. Michael continues to stare off into space blankly. Jonathan lightly smacks him across the face.

"Dude...I think it's-" he was cut short by the phone ringing, that brought Michael out of his stupor

Michael answers the phone.

"Yes?" He asked.

"D-d-daddy...?" Sarah's voice came over the phone. Michael's eyes widen a little.

"S-sarah, what's wrong?"" He asked.

"I...I..." Sarah gulped, and suddenly hung up.

"Sarah? Sarah!?" Michael yells, getting up from his chair quickly.

"Whats wrong with Sar?" Jonathan asked. Meanwhile, Sarah lays curled up on the bed, crying in her distraught. Michael grabs his briefcase.

"I need to see her." He said.

"I'll come with!" Jonathan said. Michael nods as he and Jonathan speed walk out of the office.

"Ok. Did you drive here, or did you take the bus?" Michael asked.

"My car was in the shop so I bused it." Jonathan said as he followed Michael to his car. They reach Michael's car.

"Get in." Michael said, getting in the driver seat. Jonathan lets his tail free and gets in. Meanwhile, Sarah hides under the covers, her ears folded down. Michael starts the car and drives out of the office parking lot and drives towards home.

"So Jonathan, what we're you going to say before Sarah called?" Michael asked.

"Oh, yeah, you got tree branches sticking out of your hair which is turning white." Jonathan said. Michael slams on the breaks and pulls the car over to the curb. He looks at Jonathan.

"WHAT!!!" Michael yells. Jonathan pokes the tree branches on Michael's head.

"Yeah, you're turning into Discord. Maybe Sar is changing too." Jonathan said. Michael slams on the gas pedal.

"No, no, no, no , no, no, no, no, no!" He yells, swerving around other cars as they blared their horns.

"Aaaaand you just sped past a cop. great going, mate." Jonathan said. Michael looks at the cop car that's not chasing them.

"Uuuuuh, I don't know why, but I can tell that the cop is asleep in his car." Michael said. Jonathan pulls out a random tiny squirt gun and aims it out of the window and opens fire.

"Pew pew!" He said. Michael is about to look at Jonathan, but looks at the overhead mirror and sees his eyes changing into discords eyes.

"Great, just great. My eyes are changing." Michael said. Jonathan threw his squirt gun out of the window once it was empty.

"Don't worry I got him! Well, not really...and what was that about your eyes?" He asked. Michael pulls into the driveway of his home and looks at Jonathan and shows him his eyes, where his right eye has fully changed into discords eye.

"See, my eyes are changing." Michael said.

"That's cool. I have a vagina." Jonathan said. "A pony vagina." He said as he got out of the car. Michael facepalms.

"Please, not at my house." He said as he got out of his car. Jonathan skips happily up to the door. Sarah wrapped the covers around herself upon hearing Micheal's arrival. Michael walks up to the front door and opens it.

"Sarah? Sarah!?" He says. Sarah cried slightly, holding her head in her hands which had started to grow a messy white and purple mane. Michael walks into his room.

"Sarah?" He asked.

"Don't look at me..." Sarah said. Michael walks up to the bed and sees Sarah underneath.

"Please, Sarah, look at me." Michael said. Sarah had been shaking with fear, soaking the bed with her tears.

"I can't, daddy..." She said, sounding scared.

"What's wrong with her?" Jonathan asked as he walked in.

"I... I think it's happening to her as well lyra." Michael said.

"Dude...you just called me Lyra..." Jonathan said.

"Leave me alone..." Sarah said. Michael shakes his head.

"I...I did, sorry." Michael said. He looks at Sarah. "Sarah, I think whatevers happening to you, is happening to us as well.

"What do you mean by that..." Sarah asked.

"Sarah, please look at us." Michael said.

"No! You'll just get rid of me!" Sarah yelled. Michael's voice gets slightly deeper and sounds slightly like Discord's voice.

"Sarah... whoa voice change... anyway, please Sarah, look at me, please." He said. Sarah laid still.

"Dude, just..." Jonathan said, ripping the covers off of her. Michael gasps and sees Sarah having a puffy purple and white mane, and pony ears.

"S... Sarah?" He asked.

"I'm sorry, daddy..." Sarah said, sniffing. She  hid her face in her hands and cried. Michael sits on the bednext to her.

"I guess it's happening to you too, Sarah." Michael said, sighing. Sarah shook full of fear.

"P-please don't hate me..." She whimpered.  Michael is quite shocked at what Sarah said.

"I would never hate you Sarah, ever. So please, look at my eyes and see that I will never ever hate you." Michael said.

"I dont want you to see what I look like...I'm a mutated freak!" Sarah yelled. Michael grabs Sarah and hugs her.

"To me, your not a mutated freak."  Michael said.

"What's happening to us, daddy..." Sarah asked. Michael holds Sarah out in front of him.

"I don't know sweetie, but I will never hate you. I mean looked at me, I'm turning as well." He said, chuckling slightly. Sarah saw his white hair and the two horns sticking out of his head.

"Discord..." She said.  Michael chuckles.

"Yea, I'm turning into Discord, and Jonathan is turning into Lyra." He said.

"So you dont hate me?" Sarah asked. Michael shakes his head.

"I will never hate you Sarah." He said.  Sarah hugged him tight. Michael smiles.

"Now, we just need to know who you are turning into, Sarah." Michael said.

"I dont wanna turn into anypony!" Sarah yelled, just as Michael hugs Sarah.

"Shhh, I'm here." Michael said.

"I wish mommy were here..." Sarah said sadly. Michael sighs.

"I know, I wish she were here too." Michael said. Sarah's ears twitched slightly.

"I love you daddy." Sarah said. Michael hugs Sarah.

"I love you too." He said. "Now then, let's figure out who your turning into Sarah." Michael said.

"Okay, but how?" She asked. Sarah's left ear flopped every now and again.

"Ugh I hate it how it does that!" She said in frustration as she held her ear. Michael looks at Jonathan.

"Hey, Jonathan, want to help me figure out who Sarah's turning into?" He asked.

"Despite the messy mane, blue color of her fur, she's not fleetfoot." Jonathan said, thinking. "She isn't Trixie. She must be... Screwball!" He says.

"Wait, Screwball!" Michael said.

"I'm becoming a...a crazy pony!?" Sarah yelled. Michael stares off into space.

"Why.... why is this happening to us?" He asked.

"Great. Just great." Sarah said.

"Humans are best ponies." Jonathan said.

"Why... why is this happening to me and Sarah on my birthday..." Michael said.

"I dunno..." Jonathan said.

"What's gonna happen to us?" Sarah asked. Michael puts Sarah back on the bed.

"From what Jonathan says, you and him are turning into ponies. He's turning into Lyra, and your turning into screwball, Sarah. Me, I'm turning into Discord." Michael said.

"This bites." Sarah said bitterly.

"I'm fine with it!" Jonathan said happily. Michael gives a deadpan look at Jonathan, just as his left eye changes into discords eye.

"I for one, am not okay with this. We need to find a way to change back. Because I don't want to be the embodiment of chaos, same with Sarah." Michael said. Sarah was curled up on the bed rocking back and fourth.

"We're just freaks...we're just becoming mutated freaks..." she said.

"That's you, but im enjoying my transformation!" Jonathan said.

"Hey! We never asked for this at all!" Michael yelled. He looks at Sarah and holds her.

"I'm just saying im enjoying my transformation!" Jonathan said. Michael blinks then shakes his head.

"Whoa, I don't know what came over me." Michael said.

"Whateves. I gotta bust some flank and get back to work." Jonathan said, turning and leaving.

"Wait Jonathan! If you need to stop by, you know where I live!" Michael yelled as Jonathan left.

"No duh, I've known for the longest time, silly head." Jonathan said.

"I know, I was just reminding you." Michael said.

"Well, see ya!" Jonathan said as he skipped out of the house, tail swinging behind him.

"I can't do this...I won't be able to go to school ever again!" Sarah sniffed. Michael holds Sarah close.

"Hey, hey, hey. I'm here." He said.

"What's happening to us..." Sarah asked.

"From what we know, were turning into My little pony characters." Michael said.

"I know that..." Sarah said.

"But what are we going to do. We can't just sit here." Michael said.

"I don't know honestly..." Sarah said.

"Want to take a nap for now and ponder about it later?" Michael asked.

"I can't sleep...the nightmares just keep coming..." Sarah said, sounding scared.

"Why don't you lay down with me. How does that sound?" He asked as he layed out on the bed, trying to be careful not to bang his new horns on the bed rest.

"Okay." Sarah said. She snuggled into Micheal. Michael closes his eyes.

"Sweet dreams, Sarah." Michael said, falling asleep a few minutes later.

"Wait...did you ever tell your boss you left?" Sarah asked. Michael opens his eyes.

"I... I didn't. But he could have seen me rush out of there because of family." He said. Sarah shrugs and eventually falls asleep. Michael closes his eyes and falls asleep.

Chapter 3: The secret/celebration

"Gad damn bucking camper!" Lyra screamed into the headset now that she had been killed by the same person in the same spot on Call of Duty: Black Ops Two. It had been the sixth failed attempt to kill one person and she finds herself getting nowhere with each try. Sarah stirred in her sleep due to the yell from Lyra, and slowly wakes, rubbing her eyes with her hands. Michael snorts and sleepily opens his eyes from the yelling.

"Huh.... wha?" He asked. Sarah comes out into the living room unaware of the changes that had taken place.

"Lyra? What's wrong?" She asked.

"Oh, just some damn campers." Lyra said. She didn't look away from the flashing screen as gun shots were heard coming from the speakers.

"Oh, okay." Sarah said. She went over and sat next to Lyra on the couch, watching as Lyra's fingers danced across the controller, with several clicking sounds. Michael gets out of the bed, enters the bathroom and turns on the lights. His eyes widen at the sight in the mirror.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!" He screamed. Lyra looks at Sarah for a second.

"Did you hear tha-" She stopped mid sentence at what sat before her, and smiled. "Hey now, you're an anthro just like me!" She said.

"I'm what!?" Sarah yelled. She looked at herself to see she was covered in fur like Lyra,, but her's was purple. She had hooves instead of feet, and a long white and purple tail flowed from her backside. Michael breaths heavily as he looks at himself through the mirror. He turns and runs out of the bathroom, only to trip and fall and smack his face on the ground with a solid thud!

"D-Daddy?" Sarah asked. She got up and walked into his bedroom to see him on the floor. "Daddy!" She yelled as she tries to help him up. Lyra shrugs and keeps playing the game. Michael sits up, slightly dazed. He shakes his head and looks down at Sarah.

"Sarah, is that you?" He asked.

"Yeah, its me...I dont like it though..." Sarah said, looking down. "I'm a sasquatch how hairy I am..." she said. Michael hugs Sarah.

"Hey, it's going to be okay Sarah." He said. Sarah hugs back.

"I don't wanna be a pony..." She said. Michael looks at her pupil less purple swirling eyes.

"I know. I can do the same thing that I did with Lyra with you. I helped her stay a anthro. I can do the same with you if you'd like." He said.

"I wanna be human is what I meant..." Sarah said, looking down. "Nothing will be the same ever again..." She sniffed. Michael gently rocks her back and forth.

"Hey, hey, hey, I will be here for you Sarah, no matter what." He said.

"I know daddy, and i guess anthro would be the closest thing to human so could you do that for me?" She asked. Michael smiles and nods.

"Sure sweetie. Now you may feel a slight tingling sensation." He said.

"Okay, dad. And...think you could bring Dashie to life? " She asked as she held her Rainbow Dash doll out to him. Michael nods and closes his eyes and concentrates.

"Sure!" He said. Sarah feels the tingling in her body, as she was slightly lifted off the ground. Michael opens his eyes and there was a flash of light. Sarah landed on the ground again, and the tinging died down, but her doll was nowhere to be found.

"Dashie?" She asked, just as a blur of rainbow was seen zipping under the bed. Michael looks at where Dashie flew under.

"Oh, come now Dashie, is that a good way to treat friends?" He asked. Dashie cowered under the bed, shaking scared.

"So big..." she whispered. Sarah goes under.

"Hey, dont be scared...it's just me.. Sarah!" Sarah said. Dashie backed away. Sarah looks at her closer.

"Oh, you're just a filly, that's why you're scared...I wont hurt you, okay? I promise." She said, holding a hand out to Dashie. Dashie backed up more and came out from the other side of the bed. Michael holds a big rainbow lollipop.

"I guess Dashie doesn't want any candy." He said. Dashie's ears perk up.

"Candy?" She asked. Sarah grabs her and crawls out from under the bed. Michael hands Dashie the lollipop.

"Here you go Dashie, for being a good little filly." He said. Dashie takes it and chews on it happily.

"Good lil filly." Sarah said. She held Dashie in an arm, stroking her mane with her other hand. Michael stands up and stagers a tiny bit due to the adjust of height.

"Whoa, got to get used to that. Now, let's grab some breakfast." He said.

"Okay. Come on Dashie, lets go eat!" Sarah said.

"Oh...okay." Dashie said. Lyra was playing Need For Speed Shift now, making car noises as she races a Pagania Zonda F around a sharp corner. Michael walks down the hallway. Pokes his head around the corner and sees Lyra.

"Hey, Lyra." He said.

"Hey bud. Kept getting wasted by twelve year olds, so I'm playing this instead where little kids don't know crap about racing." Lyra said. Michael walks around the corner and chuckles.

"Yea I know how that feels. The first time, I threw the controller out the window, literally." Michael said.

"Unlike you, I know how to contain my anger." Lyra said. Michael walks into the kitchen and grabs a box of cereal and a bowl.

"Yea, I know. But this guy kept spawn killing me." He said.

"Exactly what happened to me!" Lyra said, focusing on the game. "Oh god damn noob hit me off the track!" She yelled. Sarah giggles and sits at the table.

"What's going on?" Dashie asked.

"I guess your not really paying attention to me, aren't you?" Michael asked. He looks at Dashie. "Oh, nothing much, Dashie.

"Eenope!" Lyra said.

"Are you my daddy?" Dashie asked.  Michael smiles.

"I guess I could be your daddy and Sarah your sister." He said. Dashie tilts her head.

"Who is mom then?" She asked. She points to Lyra with a hoof. "Is she mommy?" She asked. Lyra looked up from her game.

"What? I'm not anypony's mom!" She yelled. Michael laughs.

"I will take that as a maybe." He said.

"Wait...is that Rainbow Dash!?" Lyra yelled. She drops the controller and rushes over. "OH MY GAWD!! " She yelled. She picks her up from Sarah. "You're so cute!" She yelled,  hugging her.

"Who is my mom then?" Dashie asked.

"Well... you don't have a mother." Michael said. He rubs the back of his neck with his claw.

"Oh..." She said. Her head drops down and she suddenly looks sad.

"Dont be sad, Dashie!" Sarah said, hugging her.

"Dashie, you have us. We can be your family." Michael said.

"Okay..." Dashie said, hugging Sarah back. "Thanks, big sis." She said.

"No problem, Dash." Sarah said. She smiles and nuzzles her.

"Group hug!" Michael said. They all join, but Dashie doesn't. Michael looks at Dashie.

"Dashie, what's wrong?" Michael asked.

"I'm confused..." She said. Michael tilts his head.

"What are you confused about?" He asked.

"I dont know who you are, who I am, where I am, how I got here, or anything..." Dashie said.

"Well, your name is rainbow dash or Dashie for short. My name is discord, but my actual name is Michael smith. This is my daughter, Sarah. This is my friend Lyra. And your in my house, and I sorta created you." He said.

"Oh...so I dont have any real parents then..." Dashie said, looking down.

"Duh! Daddy is your real dad!" Sarah said. Michael nods.

"That's true, since I created you, that makes me your father." He said.

"Okay." Dashie said, shrugging. Michael smiles.

"Now, come here and join in, ok?" He asked. Dashie was hesitant to join.

"Come on, it'll be okay." Michael said. Dashie slowly approaches.

"That's it, come on. That's a good filly." He said. Dashie hugs Sarah.

"Good lil sis!" Sarah said happily. Michael ruffles up Dashie's mane.

"That's a good girl." He said.

"Thanks dad." Dashie said. Michael smiles.

"Now, what should we do?" He asked.

"Breakfast!" Sarah said. Lyra went back to her game.

"Fuck... I lost..." She said. Michael nods. Sarah sits at the table.

"Okie dokie!" He said. Dashie sits at the table as well. A chef's hat appeared on his head and a apron that said 'kiss the cook' appeared around his neck. He got to work on breakfast. Sarah giggles, while Dashie stares at her hooves. Michael hums a little tune while working on breakfast. Lyra continues playing her game. Sarah found a brush and began brushing her mane and tail. Dashie just sat there at the table thinking. Michael grabs a couple of plates.

"It's almost ready!" He yells. Sarah went to brushing her fur.

"Okay, daddy. " She said.  Dashie looks around.

"YES!! I FINALLY BEAT YOU BITCH! SUCK MY-" Lyra notices Sarah and Dashie right in the next room. "My big toe." Lyra said. Michael turns his head to glare at Lyra when she's yelling, then turns back to cooking when she fixes it. Lyra blushes.

"Sorry..." She said. Dashie walked up to Micheal and shook his leg.

"Dad." Dashie said. Michael looks down at Dashie.

"Yes?" He asked. Dashie holds her forelegs out for him to pick her up. Michael smiles and picks Dashie up and sets her on his shoulders.

"Thanks dad." Dashie said.

"It's no problem, Dashie." He said as he grabs a plate. "Breakfast is ready!" He yells.

"What did you make?" Dashie asked. Sarah was having trouble brushing her tail. Michael looks up at Dashie.

"Well, I made hash browns, eggs, and toast." He said.

"Okay!" Dashie said. She jumped back down and went to sit at the table next to Sarah. Michael grabs four plates filled with food and carefully walks towards the table.

"Now, I may not be the best cook, but I did my best." He said as he sets the plates down on the table. "Enjoy." He said. Dashie eyes her food suspiciously.

"It's okay, Dashie! Eat it's yummy!" Sarah said. Lyra pops her head out from behind the tv.

"Food!?" She yelled. Michael sighs.

"Yes, Lyra, food." He said. Lyra pauses the game and skips over to the table.

"Awesome!" She said, and digs in. "erfs geuhd!" She said with a mouth full of food. Sarah giggles. Michael facepalms as he sits down.

"Please, not at the table, Lyra." He said. Lyra swallows hard.

"Don't do what?" She asked. Michael uses his talon to use a fork to eat his food.

"Talk with your mouth full." He said.

"Ah! You mean like this?" Lyra asked, taking another bite of her eggs."I'm talking with my mouth open!" She said. Michael snaps his talons and a zipper closes Lyra's mouth.

"That should be better." He said.

"Oh eaagh!?" She said. Her horn lit up and Micheal became very small. "Hahahahahaa!" She laughed. Michael snaps his talons and he returns to normal size. He snaps his talons again and Lyra appears facing the corner with a dunce hat on top of her head.

"Now stop this nonsense and behave." He said.

"Just trying to get you through the stress with some fun but i guess not. This is what i get in return for saving your daughter? BS!" She yelled, taking off the dunce hat and leaving. Michael sighs and stands up.

"I will be right back." He said. Lyra huffs as she sat on the porch swing

"Ass..." She said. Michael pokes his head outside.

"Lyra?" He asked. Lyra was softly stroking her tail.

"What do you want?" She said. She didn't even look at him. Michael sits next to her.

"Looks, I'm sorry.... I'm sorry if I was a ass. I've been in alot of stress because  this ain't my first time being fired from a job." He said. Lyra says nothing. Michael looks at her.

"Can you ever forgive me, Lyra?" He asked. Lyra shrugs. "I guess that's as much as I will get from you, yea?" He said.

"You yelled at me..." Lyra said, looking down. Michael/Discord puts a paw on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry if I yelled at you. " He said.

"I hate being yelled at..." Lyra sniffed and hugged him. After Sarah finished eating, as well as Dashie, they went into the living room to watch T.V. Michael/Discord hugs back.

"It's going to be ok." He said. Lyra she stayed leaned on him, with her head on his chest.

"Promise?" She asked. Sarah held dashie as she flipped through the channels. Michael/Discord nods.

"I promise." He said. Lyra smiled up at him and hugged tighter.

"Thanks." She said. Sarah sees something familiar on the news channel. She flipped back to it to see a camera in a helicopter flying over a twenty story tall, red eye'd Discord.

"D-D-D-DAAAAD!" She yelled. Discord snaps his head towards Sarah's direction, quickly gets up and runs inside, carrying Lyra. He stops in the living room.

"What is it Sarah?" He asked. Lyra holds tightly onto him. Sarah says nothing and points at the T.V. Discord looks at the T.V. and sees evil discord. He frowns and clinches his claw and paw into fists.

"You." He said menacingly. Lyra she dropped down to the floor on her two hooves.

"How is there two..." She asked as she held his paw in her hand. Dashie begins to tear up.

"You...you did that, daddy?" She sniffed. Discord shakes his head.

"No, I didn't do that. That's a more evil version of Discord, of me." He said.

"Daddy would never do anything like that." Sarah said as she watches how evil Discord flattens a few cars parked on the side of the road. Lyra reaches a hand around Discord's waist.

"He may be mean at times but I know this Discord wouldn't do that!" She yelled. She hugged him and kissed his cheek.

"Lyra...you just kissed my dad..." Sarah said. Lyra blushes and pulls away.

"Sorry it's just that..." She said, kicking the ground with a hoof. "It's..." She said. Discord blushes a deep red and some steam escapes his ears.

"It's...It's ok." He said.

"Sorry...now...what are we gonna do about bad discord who just turned the Empire State Building into a giant ice cream cone?" Lyra asked.

"Hmmm. Well, the only way that I know... is to stop him. To help out the elements of harmony to stop him." Discord said.

"Well no duh, somebody's gotta stop him, captain obvious!" Lyra said, punching his arm lightly. "And um...sorry that I kissed you..." She said as she nervously twirled a finger around a bit of her mane. "It's just that...I've...I..." She looks away. "Never mind..." She said. Discord places a claw on her shoulder and looks at her.

"If you don't want to talk about it that's ok. I won't force you." He said.

"Can...can I talk to you in private?" She asked. Discord nods.

"Sure." He said. Lyra sighed and went into Micheal's room. Discord follows her. Lyra closes the door.

"I'm gay. Well, at least i turned into Lyra, but...I lied about not being into men. Because...I like you, Micheal..." She said. She looks down. "I bet you want an explanation, huh?" She asked. Discord's eyes widen and he nods.

"Now, before you say anything, I want to tell you that I don't hate you for being gay." He said.

"Okay. I have been gay for about three years now, and when I met you, I felt this spark that I needed to...be with you, but when I found out about your wife, I-I knew there would never be an 'us' plus you aren't gay." Lyra said. She sighs again placing her face in her hands. "It hurts so much you want to be with a certain someone, but you know you can't...Even if by some slim chance you said you want to be with me, I couldn't. You're love it with your wife, and I know she's gone, hard enough as it is, but...I won't be able to commit to a relationship with you due to that. I kissed you because I love you...but I know we'll never be together..." She said. Tears had begun streaming down her cheeks as she sat on the bed, hugging her stomach. "I'm sorry..." She said. Discord sits next to Lyra and hugs her.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's ok. You needed to get that out. I'm here for you." He said. Lyra sniffs and wipes her muzzle.

"Thanks." She sniffed. She leaned on him. "Is it okay if you can at least hold me for a bit?" She asked. Discord smiles and nods.

"Sure." He said.

"I must seem like such a silly mare..." She said. Discord chuckles a little bit.

"Yea. Now, shall we head back and see what Sarah and Dashie are doing?" He asked.

"Okay. Do you think I'll find somepony to be with?" Lyra asked as she looked up at him, her eyes still teary. Discord looks at Lyra and smiles. He nods.

"Yes. I'm sure that you will find your special somepony." He said.

"I wanted it to be you, but i guess not." She said, getting up and leaving the room. Discord places a paw on her shoulder before she left the room.

"Wait." He said.

"Yeah?" She asked.  She turns around, looking back with a sad and hearted broken expression.

"I guess... I can make a acceptance and, be with you." Discord said.

"No..." Lyra said, shaking her head. "I can't do that to you...I never should have said anything..." She said, trying to leave. Discord still has his paw on her shoulder.

"Now wait, I don't want you to be like this. I want to help you. So if you being with me will make you happy, then I will alow it." He said.

"But what about your wife? You should love her." She said.

"I do love her, I miss her alot as well. But, seeing you like this, I will make a acceptance and be with you." He said. Lyra sniffled as she smiled and threw herself into him, hugging him tight.

"Thank you. " She whispered. Discord hugs and smiles back.

"It's no problem." He said. Lyra kisses his cheek.

"I love you so much. Does this make me a mom now?" She asked. Discord nods.

"I guess it does." he said. Lyra giggles.

"Okay. Let's go check on our daughters then!" She said as she still held him. Discord smiles, nods, and carries Lyra out of the room.

"Okay." He said. Sarah was wasting players easily on Call of Duty. Dashie sees Micheal and Lyra come out of the room.

"Hi daddy!" She said happily.

"Sarah, Dashie, we have a surprise for the both of you." Discord said. Sarah pauses the game and picks up Dashie.

"Yeah dad?" She asked.

"Want to tell them, or want me to?" Discord whispered to Lyra.

"I wanna!" Lyra said. Discord nods.

"Ok." He said. Lyra picks up Dashie and Sarah in her arms.

"I'm your mom!" She said as she hugged them both tightly.

"You and daddy got together? Awe!" Sarah said happily.

"Hey, how about we celebrate by going out to eat. How does that sound?" Discord asked.

"While evil you is terrorizing New York?" Sarah asked.

"Yea, I know. But I wanted to share this moment." Discord said. Lyra nods.

"Okay!" Sarah said.

"Where are we going?" Dashie asked.

"Were going out to eat, Dashie. So, who wants what?" Discord asked.

"I know we're going out to eat, but where, daddy?" Dashie asked.

"Yeah, captain obvious!" Lyra said. She giggled and kissed his cheek again.

"Hmmm. Well, there's a souper salad not far from here. There's a golden corral as well.  Will any one of those work?" He asked.

"I BUCKING LOVE GOLDEN CORRAL!" Lyra yelled. Discord smiles.

"Ok, Golden Corral it is." He said. Lyra smiles and offers her hand. Discord smiles.

"Hold on, let me grab something real quick." He said. Lyra rolls her eyes.

"Hurry up! I miss you already!" She said. She giggled as she carried the kids to the car. Discord nods and runs to his room real quick.

"Now, let's see." He said. He looks around and grabs his keys. He looks at Screwball's propeller beanie and takes it. He runs out towards the car. "I'm back!" He said.

"Driver's seat taken." Lyra said. She giggled slightly and moved over to the front passenger seat. Discord chuckles and gets in the front seat.

"Oh yea, Sarah, I brought this with me." He said. He shows the propeller beanie.

"Thanks dad!" Sarah said. She grabs it and puts it on her head. Dashie was trying to work her buckle. sees the propeller on the beanie spin as soon as she puts it on. And looks at Dashie.

"Need help Dashie?" He asked.

"I got it!" She said. As the buckle click clacked as she tried to put it on.

"Let mommy help." Lyra said. She turns and reaches back to put it on. "There!" She said.

"Thanks mom!" Dashie said. Sarah plays with her tail.

"You know, I dont think being a pony is all bad...I think I'm kinda cute!" Sarah said. Discord nods.

"You all are cute. Now, let's go grab some grub." He said.

"WAIT!" Lyra yelled, putting her hoof on the brakes. "Won't they try to stop you since you're discord and all?" She asked.

"Oh, yea. Your right. Hmmm." Discord said. He thinks and comes with a idea. "I have a idea!" He said. He snaps his fingers and he turns into a grey pegasus anthro with a tornado cutie mark. "How's this?" He asked.

"Better!" Lyra said, hugging him. "Handsome stallion!" She said. She kisses his cheek. Discord blushes a little bit.

"Now, let's grab some grub." He said as they drive out of the driveway. Lyra nuzzles his cheek.

"Love you!" She said. Discord smiles.

"I love you too." He said.

"It means so much to hear you say that." Lyra said. Discord nods.

"It does." He said. They slow down behind a motorist who's going slower than the speed limit. He honks the cars horn. Lyra uses her magic to lift the person's car and places it behind them.

"There!" She said, smiling. Discord whistles.

"Wow, that was great." He said.

"Meh." She said. Discord sees the restaurant.

"Were almost there." He said.

"What will people think when they see us, daddy?" Sarah asked.

"I think that they will be surprised and slightly confused. But I think that they will understand." Discord said. Lyra levitated Sarah and Dashie into her lap.

"Anypony tries anything, I'm be there to save you while your father stuff his face!" She said. She laughed and softly punched Discord's arm. Discord laughs as he pulls in a parking spot near the restaurant.

"And I will help as well." He said.

"Your face to food I bet!" Lyra said. She stepped out of the car with Sarah and Dashie in her arms. Discord steps out of the car.

"You ready?" He asked. Lyra was already walking in the odors across the lot so she didn't hear, with the girls close behind. Discord speed walks after them.

"He-hey! Wait up!" He yells.

"Slow ass!" She said. She smirked and walked inside, holding the door open for him. Discord catches up to them.

"Thank you." He said, walking inside. Lyra spanks his tush as he walks in. Discord blushes slightly as he stops in front of the waiting desk.

"Don't look at me! It was her!" Lyra said, pointing at Sarah.

"Was not!" Sarah said.

"Was too!" Lyra said. She sticks out tongue and giggles.

"You're silly, mom." Sarah said. Discord looks at them both.

"Your both silly." He said.

"You too!" Lyra said,hugging him. Discord hugs back. A waitress comes.

"Um...hello, a-and welcome to G-Golden Corral. L-let me show you to your table..." She said, turning around and begins walking. Discord follows the waitress. Lyra smacks his arm.

"Don't be staring down there! You're supposed to do that to mee." She said, pouting. Discord blushes and looks at Lyra.

"S-Sorry." He said. Lyra glares for a second, then laughs.

"I can't be mad at you! You're so handsome!" She said, hugging him tighter.

"Here's your table." The waitress said, pointing to one by a window which looked out to the parking lot.

"Thank you." Discord said as he took a seat. Lyra sat in the chair next to Discord as Dashie and Sarah took the chairs on the other side of the table. Discord smiles.

"I love all you can eat restaurants." He said.

"All you can eat huh?" Lyra asked. She nibbled on Discord's shoulder. Sarah giggles.

"you guys are cute." She said. Dashie nods. Discord chuckles.

"Yea. Anyway, shall we get our food?" He asked.

"We should get the kid's food first." Lyra said. Discord nods.

"Yea, we should." He said.

"I wanna do it!" She said. Discord nods again.

"Ok. Want me to stay here so that no one else takes the table?" He asked.

"Yeah and the kids need watching." She said. Lyra gave him a peck on the cheek, much closer to the lips this time, before walking off. Discord slightly blushes again. He looks around the restaurant and see people staring at him and his family.

"We're just ponies...why are they staring?" Sarah asked. Discord continues to look around and sees some people take pictures with their phones.

"I don't know Sarah. I guess they never saw people turning into ponies before, I guess." He said.

"We already are ponies dad." Sarah said, giggling. "I'm actually beginning to like it." She said. Discord looks at Sarah and smiles.

"I am starting to like it as well, Screwball." He said.

"My name isn't...oh...well I guess it is now." Screwball said, giggling. "I like that name!" She said.

"What do you mean you all turned into ponies?" Dashie asked.

"Well Dashie, before, we weren't ponies. We were humans." Discord said.

"Was I a human too?" Dashie asked.

"You were a stuffed plushie..." Screwball said.

"Oh, and then daddy brought me to life!" Dashie said. Discord nods.

"Eeyup." He said. He sees Lyra coming back carrying some plates.

"I got them both some mac and cheese, a salad, and two brownie squares which are to be eaten when everything else is gone, okay?" Lyra said.

"Yess, mommy!" Both Dashie and Sarah said.

"Good!" Lyra said, setting the plates down on the table. "You go get something, okay hun?" She asked as she placed a hand on Discord's shoulder. Discord nods and stands up.

"Will do." He said. He walks towards the food. Lyra stared adoringly at the two fillies before her, one a pony, the other an anthro. Discord hums a little tune while he looks at the food in front of him.

"Hmmm." He said, trying to think of what to get. Suddenly he was bumped quite hard. Discord looks and sees a man glaring at him while walking away. "Well excuse you, dude." He said, looking back at the food. He could see mac and cheese, potato salad, chicken, meat loaf, and other delecious things.

"Who wants me to hold them?" Lyra asked. Sarah and Dashie both ran up to her. Lyra giggles a little and holds them both. Discord grabs some non meat food like mac and cheese, potato salad, soup, and other food, even a slice of chocolate cake. He walks back to the table with plates full of food. He could see the guy who bumped into him glare at him while he walks back. Lyra takes the plates and sets them on the table, and before Discord could even think about sitting down she stood, and wrapped her arms around his neck , pressing her lips to his. Discord eyes widen, before he wraps his arms around Lyra and relaxes. Lyra pulls away after the first three seconds and rests her head on his chest.

"Thank you." She said. Discord smiles.

"It's no problem. I also brought you chocolate cake." He said.

"Awe, babe! I love chocolate cake!" She said.

"I got it for you for our celebration." He said.

"Awe, thanks, love!" Lyra said, hugging him tighter. "I love you so much!" She said. Discord hugs back.

"I love you too." He said.

"Now eat while I got get my food okay?" She said. She pecked Discord on the lips and walked off. He nods and sits.

"Will do." He said as begins to eat his food.

"Daddy...what if I said I don't wanna change back into a human?" Screwball asked.

"Well... we a still have time before we leave for New York, so we can still think about it. But if you want to stay like this, then I can see what I can do. " Discord said. He lowers his voice. "Besides, I am starting to like using Discord's powers." He said. Screwball giggles.

"You're funny, and that'd be great to stay this way. I don't know what I was getting so bummed over!" She said.

"You were sad?" Dashie asked.

"For a while, yeah." Screwball said.

"Don't be sad big sis!" Dashie said, hugging Screwball. Screwball hugged back.

"I'm not sad anymore Dashie, I'm actually very happy." She said. Discord smiles.

"Aww, ain't that cute." He said. Lyra comes back with a plate which contained two chicken wings, potatoes, brussel sprouts and a bun.

"I'm back!" She said. She sat down and took a huge bite from the first chicken wing.

"Wait, I thought ponies can't eat meat. Oh, wait. We're still part human, so it should be fine." Discord said.

"Ponies can eat meat. I saw it in a video this dude keeps spamming onto the comments on my stories on Fimfiction. He calls himself ChromeMasquerade."  Lyra said. Discord's eyes widen.

"Really, I did not know that." Discord said. Lyra shrugged her shoulders.

"It's whateves. He does it to everybody, but like I just said, it's whateves." She said as she took another bite of her chicken wing. Discord finishes off the last of his food and sighs happily.

"Ahhh, that was good." He said.

"It was." Lyra said, nodding in agreement. Screwball had just finished her brownie.

"Mmmm chocolaty!" She said.

"It was good." Dashie said.

"Now, let me pay the bill, then we will go, ok?" Discord said.

"Nuu I wanna pay da bill!" Lyra said.

"Bill Nye the since guy?" Screwball asked. Discord chuckles.

"How about we both pay the bill, how does that sound?" He asked.

"Okay!" Lyra said, paying half of the bill. Discord smiles and pays the other half.

"Shall we get going?" She asked, holding her hand out to him. Discord nods and takes Lyra's hand.

"Yep." He said.

"Come on and hold mommy's hand you two!" Lyra said to Dashie and Screwball. They both held onto her hand. Discord stands up and looks at them.

"Aww, that's cute." He said. Lyra leans on Discord and giggles.

"Your fur is soft." She said. Discord smiles.

"Thank you. Yours is too." He said. Lyra giggles again.

"Thanks. Shall we go home? And...um I dunno if you'l be offended by this but can you stay like this? Mostly because I dont want people thinking you're Discord, also, I like you better this way...." She said. Discord nods.

"Sure. And, it will be safer this way as well." He said.

"Exactly my point!" She said. She kissed his cheek as they head out to the car. Discord smiles. As they reach the car, he opens the passenger side.

"After you." He said. Lyra runs her tail under Discord's chin as she smiles back at him and climbs into the car. Screwball and Dashie get into the back seat next to each other. Discord gets in the driver side and starts the car. Lyra smiles and holds one of Discord's hands.

"Thank you, Discord....for everything." She said. Discord nods.

"It's no problem, Lyra." He said. Lyra hugs him.

"I'm sorry if I'm really clingy, but I'm just so happy to be your special somepony!" She said happily. Discord laughs.

"It's ok, Lyra. I don't mind." He said. Lyra closed her eyes, and decided not to let go. Discord warmly smiles and strokes her mane. Lyra sighs happily.

"I've had a  crush on you for three years." She said.

"Wow. Now you can live that." He said. Lyra smiles and nods.

"It's a dream come true to be with you." She said as she nuzzled his cheek. Discord slightly blushes.

"Anything to keep you happy, Lyra." He said.

"So...does this mean we sleep in the same bed?" She asked.

"I guess it does." He said.

"Yay!" Lyra said, giggling.  Discord smiles and chuckles.

"I really enjoyed our first kiss." Lyra said.

"So did I." He said.

"I'm so glad you love me." She said. Discord pulls the car up into the driveway.

"Yep." He said. Lyra pulled him into another kiss as they drove up. Discord's face starts to blush as he kisses her back. Lyra holds him tighter than last time. Discord closes his eyes and relaxes. Lyra does the same, softly sucking his bottom lip, with her arms tight around him still. Discord pulls his arms around her and hugs as well. Lyra kissed for a few seconds more before pulling away and wipes her mouth.

"Even better that time." She said, blushing. Discord was blushing as well.

"Yea." He said.

"Lets take the kids inside huh?" She asked. Discord nods.

"Yea." He said. Lyra gets the kids out fo the car and takes them inside. Discord gets out and follows.

"You two go play now, okay?" She asked.

"Okay!" Dashie and Screwball said. They both ran off to Screwball's room.

"Now what shall you and I do?" Lyra asked.

"We'll be alone for a little bit, want to head to my... no, our room?" He asked. Lyra nods. Discord holds out his hand for Lyra. Lyra holds her arms out.

"Cawwy me im just a hewpwess wittle fiwwy!" She whined. Discord smiles and carries Lyra to his room. Lyra holds onto his neck.

"We gonna cuddle, honey?" She asked. Discord looks at Lyra and nods.

"Yes we are." He said. Lyra jumps into the bed, crawling under the covers. Discord crawls in the bed after her.  She snuggles close to him. Discord snuggles back and rubs her mane.

"Am I a pretty mare, Discord?" She asked. Discord nods.

"You are pretty." He said. Lyra blushes.

"You're a handsome stallion!" She said. She nuzzles his chest. "I love you." She said.

"I love you too, Lyra." He said.

"Call the kids in here please, I wanna cuddle them too." She said. Discord nods.

"Dashie! Screwball! Can you come in here please!" He yells. Both Dashie and Screwball came running in.

"Yea, daddy?" They both said in unison. Lyra pats a spot on the bed between her and discord.

"Come lay down with us." She said. They both jumped into the bed and Lyra held them close. Discord wiggles his fingers.

"Whooooo, I'm a scary monster." He said.

"Noooo not a scary monster!! I'll save you sis!" Dashie yelled. She bats at Discord's hands with her hooves. Discord grabs Dashie.

"Raaaar, I got you!" He said.

"Nuuuuu!" She yelled, lightly punching Discord's cheek. Lyra giggles.

"You get him, Dashie!" Screwball said. Discord hugs Dashie.

"I win." He said. Dashie giggles and hugs back.

"I love ya too pops!" She said.

"I love all of you." He said.

"And we all love you too!" Lyra said. They all formed a group hug around Discord. "I'm sure your wife would be very happy." She said. Discord yawns.

"I'm sure that she is." He said. Screwball yawns as well, and snuggles with Dashie. Dashie smiles and slowly falls asleep in Screwball's arms.

"It's been a long day, Discord, we should get some sleep." Lyra said. Discord nods.

"That sounds like a good idea." He said. Lyra pulls him and the girls close, using her magic to pull the blanket over them.

"Good night everypony" She said.

"Good night, Lyra." Discord said.  He closes his eyes and slowly falls asleep.

TO BE CONTINUED

Chapter 2: The Nightmare

Sarah awoke to a stressed voice from just above her. She opened her sleepy eyes to a figure of a tall and thin posture who seemed to be arguing with himself in the mirror. She immediately recognized the creature being made up of several different animal parts, but not in the way she would have thought. And as the creature let fell, she found herself scrambling against her will towards the creature.

"Daddy!" She shrieked. Evil Discord looks at Sarah and sneers.

"What do you want?" He asked. Sarah recoiled at the menacing voice.

"What happened to my daddy!?" She yelled. Sarah tried to shake her conscious father awake, when suddenly his body began to slowly disappear. "Daddy!" She yelled. Evil Discord laughs maniacally.

"He was a waste of my time, and power. So I did what's right, I got rid of him." He said. Sarah searched frantically through the room to see if it was some prank and her father was just hiding.

"Daddy!?" She yelled again. Evil Discord walks closer to Sarah with a insane smirk.

"Now, what should I do with you, Screwball?" He said menacingly. Sarah backs away.

"Why are you doing this...?" She asked. Evil Discord continues to walk towards Sarah.

"It's simple, Screwball, I'm going to get rid of you, and your father. I don't want any slip ups of you and your father trying to stop me while I'm going to take this world." He said.

"You can't do this! just leave us alone!" Sarah yelled. Evil Discord laughs maniacally as he gets closer to Sarah.

"No! Please!" She screamed as a light beeping sound began to play over and over in her head.

"Five score! Divided by four!" Evil Discord began to chant. Sarah soon became weak and her head throbbed with each heart beat.

"Stop it!" She wailed as the beeping only got louder. Beep beep! Beep beep!

"Your memories removed, your body confused!" Evil Discord continues. Sarah was now weak, faint, disoriented.

"Please..." She pleaded weakly as the beeping kept going, louder and louder, as well as every beat of her heart.

"For your insolence you must pay, cast off to lands far far away!" Evil D continued. Sarah's vision had gone blurry  and the creature before her only looked to be that of a smear of painted colors across the paper.

"Stop..." She muttered weakly. She slowly collapsed to the ground unconscious, and only then then the beeping cease. Evil Discord continues to chant, but it sounds slurred as Sarah falls into unconsciousness. Shortly after slipping into the darkness she was once again welcomed to the brightness of an eerie morning light which spilled in through the window above the bed. Startled, she sat up in an instant, tears streaming down her face. Until she felt an odd something around her waist. She looked down to see something red and scaly with a fluffy white end. Being one to not be able to move or make a sound when frightened, she found the red appendage thing to be wrapped around her, and the followed it until she came to find it came from her father's backside. Almost instantly she was calmed, but the pain she felt from the nightmare still lingered in her soured soul, and all she could do was snuggle into the tail that wrapped itself around her in a loving, warm embrace. Michael slightly snores with his mouth open, drooling slightly. Sarah looked over to her father to see one of his teeth had grown far longer than the others and just appeared below his upper lip. His eyebrows were more grey than black, and his hair began thinning.

"Why is this happening...?" She asked. She looked herself over to see if anything else had changed. She could now slightly see her mouth and nose better as they started pushing out of her face into a muzzle. Michael sneezes and a purple mist sprays out of his mouth and turns into a cotton candy cloud. He resumes sleeping.

"Eww!!" Sarah yelled, batting it away. Michael snorts and opens his eyes.

"Huh... wha?" He asked in a voice that sounds exactly like Discord's voice. Sarah points at the cotton candy cloud which had begun raining little cones of cotton candy.

"That." She said. Michael sees the floating cotton candy cloud.

"What the hell!" He yells. He then grabs his neck. "My voice... what has happened to my voice!" He said.

"You sound like Discord...and I'm growing a muzzle..." Sarah said. Michael looks at Sarah and sees a tail around her and his eyes widen.

"What the hell is that!" He yells.

"That's um...your tail..." Sarah said. Michael blinks and tries to move his tail, causing his tail to unravel around Sarah. Michael is speechless.

"I...I...I....I. ..when did this happen?" He asked.

"I dunno..." Sarah said. Sarah took Michael's tail and re-wrapped it around herself. Michael takes a deep breath.

"Sarah, are you hungry?" He asked.

"I'm good." Sarah said. Michael smiles.

"Well, what do you want to do?" He asked. Sarah shrugged.

"Hey dad, what happened in your dream?" She asked. Michael thinks.

"Well, I don't remember much, but I remember being with the mane 6, having a good time. What about you?"  He asked.

"I saw discord arguing with himself in a mirror and he fainted, then the discord in the mirror came after me." Sarah said. Michael eyes widen.

"What!" He yelled. Sarah flinches.

"I'm sorry! I..." She said. Michael holds Sarah.

"Hey, I'm not mad. I'm just worried." He said.

"The way you yelled..." Sarah said. Michael hugs Sarah and lightly wraps his tail around him and Sarah.

"I just don't want to lose you, Sarah." Michael said.

"I dont wanna lose you either daddy..." Sarah said, hugging Michael back. Michael hears his phone go off.

"Hmmm?" He said. He looks at it and sees that his boss is calling. He answers it. "Yes, boss?" He asked.

"Yeah, hi, Will Barnes. I need you to come into work today so if you could do that, that would be greeaaat, so yeah, bye." Barnes said.

"Uuuuh...." Michael said, before shaking his head.

"Who was it daddy?" Sarah asked. Michael unfurl his tail around them and sets Sarah on the bed.

"It was my boss, I have to go to work." Michael said.

"You can't go like that!" Sarah yelled. Michael sighs.

"I know, I can probably hide the tail in my pants, hide my eyes behind sunglasses, but I need a tall hat to hide my horns, which I don't have. I can say that I am cosplaying." He said.

"Bruh...you made a cotton candy cloud just by sneezing! Just try to make them seem invisible. plus that tail being so big would be impossible to hide." Sarah said. Michael looks at his tail and flicks it a little bit.

"Yea... your right. But I need to go to work so that everybody will know that I'm alright, since I ran out of there quite quick yesterday." He said.

"Just go then. I can go another day...alone..." Sarah said, curling up on the bed. "Everyday..." She said.

"Why don't you come with me, Sarah. It would be better then staying here alone all day." Michael said.

"But its not bring your daughter to work day..." Sarah said.

"I don't mind. Besides, it would be better then staying here." Michael said.

"Oh-okay..." Sarah said.

"Come on, it'll be okay. I will be there for you, Sarah." Michael stated.

"Okay..." Sarah said. Sarah got up and held onto his tail. Michael chuckles and gets off the bed.

"Come, let's grab some breakfast." He said.

"Can I hold onto your tail?" Sarah asked. Michael chuckles again.

"I don't see why not. Besides, your already holding on to it." He said. They both made their way to the kitchen. Sarah sits down at the table.

"What are we gonna do when we finish transforming, daddy?" She asked. Michael grabs a box of cereal of from the shelf.

"I don't know, Sarah. But we can't just stay here and do nothing when that happens." He said.

"What will the world think of us...freaks?...test subjects? Hostile aliens?" Sarah asked,looking down. "life will never be the same..." She sniffed. Michael sets a bowl and the cereal box on the table and looks at Sarah.

"Hey, hey, hey," He said, placing a hand on Sarah. "I'm sure that everyone has heard about people turning into ponies." He said. Sarah's ears drooped.

"Life is just a tease..." Sarah said. Michael sighs while he pours himself a bowl of cereal.

"I know. But, we have to be strong." He said.

"Okay." Sarah said. Michael smiles.

"Now, I will be right back, I have to change my clothes for work." He said.

"Okay, daddy." Sarah said. Michael leaves the kitchen and enters his bed room to change. Sarah pushed the bowl away and went to her room. Michael grabs a pair of work clothes and enters the bathroom. Sarah curls up on her bed, holding her rainbow dash doll close to her. Michael goes about his business in the bathroom and puts on his work clothes, nearly tearing the shirt with his horns. He exits the bathroom and grabs a pair of scissors of the desk. He cuts a large enough hole in his pants and pulls his tail through. He exits his room. Sarah cries softly into her hands which had begun slowly turning into hooves. Michael walks by Sarah's room and hears crying coming from it.

"Hmmm?" He said. He opens the door slightly and pokes his head through. "Sarah?" He asked. Sarah was shaking with fear as she lay in her bed.

"I miss mommy..." She sniffed. Michael sits on her bed next to her and hugs her.

"Shhh, I miss her too." He said.  Michael looks away in the distance with a sad look. "I miss her alot." He said.

"That happy place you told me about...is she happy there? Will she ever come back?" Sarah asked. Michael nods and sniffs.

"Yes, she is happy. And I dont know." He said.

"Why hasn't she come back?" She asked. Michael sighs and sets her on the bed.

"I need to tell you what happened to her. She...died of a car crash." He said, looking down.

"Wh-what?" Sarah stuttered, tears starting to appear on her face. "No...she couldn't have!" She yelled. A tear falls down Michael's face.

"It's... true. You wouldn't remember much, cause you were just three years old. But a drunk driver ran a red light and crashed right into her car. She didn't make it. When I arrived on the scene she was just barely alive. She told me before she died, is to make sure that you didn't know and to keep you happy. I'm... I'm sorry." He said as he looked away and more tears fall down his face.

"I'll never be happy again..." Sarah said, looking away as well. Michael puts his face in his hands and starts to cry.

"it's.... it's my fault. If I would have been with her and not at work, she would have probably survived and be fine by now. I'm useless." He said.

"Daddy...you're not useless..." Sarah said, hugging Michael's tail. Michael wipes his eyes and slightly smiles.

"Thank you, Sarah. Your the only person that has kept me going since her death." He said, bringing Sarah close and hugging her. Sarah cuddled into him still hugging his tail and sniffed.

"I love you, daddy" She said.

"I love you too, Sarah. Now, let me grab my suitcase and we shall go, ok?" Michael asked.

"Okay, daddy." Sarah said. She followed him out of the room holding onto his tail still. Michael walks out of Sarah's room and walks into his room. He grabs his suitcase on the desk and looks at Sarah.

"Ready?" He asked.

"I guess. Can you carry me with your tail?" Sarah asked. Michael nods and smiles.

"I guess I could." He said. He walks out of his room and by Sarah's room and stops. " Do you want to grab anything from your room to bring?" He asked. Sarah nods then runs in to grab her Rainbow Dash doll.

"Okay daddy im ready." She said. Michael nods and smiles.

"Let's go" He said, walking towards the door. Sarah climbed up onto his tail. Michael chuckles and walks out the door, heading towards the car. Sarah curls the tail around her. Michael gets his keys from his pocket and opens the car door. Sarah gets in the front passenger seat. Michael gets in, moving his tail around so he doesn't sit on it and sits in the drivers seat. Sarah pulls Michael's tail into her lap.

"I really like your tail daddy." She said. Michael chuckles.

"Thank you, Sarah. It will be some time getting used to it." He said.

"I guess." Sarah said. Michael starts the car and drives out of the driveway and to work.

"I dunno...I can't for my tail to come through, though." Sarah said.

"Yea? And I have to say, I can see the changes on you already." Michael said.

"Yeah, I know..." Sarah said.

"I just want to let you know, no matter what, I will still love you." Michael said as they made it to Michael's work. Sarah smiles.

"Thanks daddy." She said, getting out of the car. Michael turns the car off, grabs his suitcase, and exits the car, ignoring the stares from people on the sidewalk and outside the office. Sarah on the other hand unlike her father was cowering, trying to hide herself from the others. Michael puts a hand on Sarah and looks at her.

"It's going to be ok, Sarah, I will make sure that nothing hurts you. If you'd like, you can grab my tail." He said. Sarah nods and pulls his tail close to her.

"I'm scared daddy..." She said.

"I know, I am too. But we have to be strong and not let this get to us." Michael said.

"I hope mommy is happy." Sarah said. Michael nods.

"I'm sure that she is." He said. He walks towards the office building.

"MICHEAL!" Yelled an almost feminine voice, followed by the sound of clopping hooves running towards him. "So you came too huh?" Jonathan asked. Michael could see that she is almost a full anthro Lyra. His eyes widen.

"Jonathan, is that you?" He asked. Jonathan rubs back of her neck with her hand.

"Yeah it's me. Am I pretty?" She asked, since up to the neck was a female anatomy. Sarah giggles.

"I'm really liking this new body, but soon I'll be a pony since everybody affected by this I've heard on the news turned completely into that character...means i wont have these for long..." Jonathan said, looking down at her mint green furred breasts. "Not sure how these came in in the first place." She said. Michael frowns slightly.

"Please Jonathan, not in front of my daughter." He said.

"She's funny!" Sarah said.

"Um...my name is LYRA, silly." Jonathan said. Michael facepalms and groans.

"What? Is it wrong to be called by my real name?" Jonathan/Lyra asked. Sarah giggles again.

"Sorry, I'm just trying to get used to it." Michael said.

"OMFG IM SMART! You're discord! maybe you can like do some dope magic shit that will keep me an anthro Lyra!" Jonathan/Lyra said.

"Um, I would not recommend it, cause I don't even know how to use discords powers as all." Michael said.

"Then you gotta figure it out! I really like this!" She said. Michael Sighs and shakes his head. He sees his left arm and hand has turned into a eagle's talon.

"Well, there goes my left arm and hand." He said.

"Please?" Jonathan/Lyra asked, making a pouty face.

"At least try dad. Wh-when you learn how to use your powers." Sarah said. Michael sighs again.

"Fine. But if I mess up or anything, don't blame it on me." He said.

"It's cool, bud. but we gotta do it when my head finally changes." Jonathan/Lyra said.

"Ok, but I will most likely do it when I have these powers under control." Michael said.

"Thanks man!" Jonathan/Lyra said, hugging Michael.

"Now, then, aren't we supposed to be at work?" Michael asked.

"Yeah, we should get going! " She said, walking towards the office building. Michael walks towards the office building as well with Sarah still hugging his tail.

"I'm wearing a bra and panties!" Lyra whispered in Michael's ear. Michael stops a bit too fast and trips.

"Careful there you silly filly!" Lyra said, catching Michael. Sarah giggles.

"Thanks." Michael said. brushes himself off and sees his body is thinner and different colors in some places of his boy. "Man, I probably almost look like a anthro Discord or something." He said. Lyra giggled.

"No problem." She said, hugging him afterwards. "Confound these cuddly pony thoughts!" She yelled. Michael chuckles.

"Now, let's get back to work." He said.

"Alright!" Lyra said and she skipped happily off to her cubicle.

"I dunno if I should be here, daddy..." Sarah said cautiously. Michael looks at her.

"It'll be okay, Sarah. I will be here for you."  He said.

"Okay, daddy. " she said, hugging Michael's tail tighter. Michael smiles as they reach his cubicle. He sees a orange and yellow beanie with a green propeller on his desk. He raises a eyebrow and picks it up.

"Hey Lyra, did anyone leave this on my desk?" He asked. Lyra's ears perk up.

"um...no I-I don't know if that belongs to anypony." She said. She went to typing on her computer, slightly wagging her tail. Michael looks at the propeller beanie.

"It looks like a perfect replica of Screwball's propeller beanie." He said.

"But why is my...HER beanie here then?" Sarah asked.

"Keep it!" Lyra yelled.

"So it happened to you too huh?" He heard Barnes say as he got close. "Johnathan too-" he began.

"Ahem!" Lyra said, turning to him in her swivel chair with a straight face. "It's LYRA!" She yelled.

"Whatever." Barnes said, rolling his eyes. "I hope you both know that unless you are sick, this is no reason to take a day off of work. And might I ask why you brought your daughter with?" He asked. Michael looks at Barnes.

"I bought her with me because I didn't want to leaver her alone while this," He said, gesturing a claw along himself and Sarah. "Is happening." He said. Barnes rolls his eyes again.

"Guess you've never heard of a baby sitter then." He said. His face changed to that of a serious one. "Does that mean you've been leaving your daughter home alone?" He asked.

"Daddy, I'm scared." Sarah said. Michael looks at Sarah.

"It's going to be alright." He said. He looks back at barnes with the same serious face. "I have and she has been fine ever since." He said.

"I'm calling child services..." Barnes said, turning and leaving.

"HOLD UP!" Lyra yells. She caught him by the back of his shirt. "Tell me I did not just hear what I think I just heard." She said. Barnes pulls away from her grip.

"You heard me! I'm calling child services!" He yells, quickly turning and leaving. Michael frowns.

"Sarah, stay here. I am going to have a little talked with Mr.Barnes." He said.

"Okay." Sarah said, letting go of Michael's tail.

"Come here." Lyra said, holding Sarah in her mint green fur colored arms as Michael left for Barnes's office. Barnes went into his office and closed the door behind him, and locked it. He then went to his phone to make the call. Michael makes it to Barnes's office and knocks on the door.

"Sir, open up the door." He said. Barnes pulls down the blinds to his door and keeps talking. Michael gets angrier and bangs harder.

"Sir, open this door, right now!" He yells. Barnes presses a button under his desk and soon two men come and try to drag Micheal away. Something in Michael's head snaps and he turns towards the two men.

"You. Will. Not. Take. My. Daughter!" He yells. He charges and breaks down Barnes's office door.

"Is he aggressive, you ask?" Barnes asked through the phone. "Very. He just bust down my door." He said. He talks for a few seconds more as the men put Micheal in cuffs. "I am only doing what's best for your daughter, Micheal. You obviously don't know how to be a parent. Child Services will be here soon to evaluate the situation. Until then I just need you to sit until they get here." He said. Michael's right eye twitches and head shakes slightly as he sneers at Barnes.

"I will tell you one last time. Do. Not. Take. My. Daughter." He stated. Barnes sighs.

"I dont want to, but it has to be done, since you dont know what it means to be a father. Your wife wouldn't have been so careless." He said. Michael's irises shrink down to the size on pin pricks as he snaps fully.

"I warned you...." He said.

"Threatening will only make the cause likelier that they take your daughter so I suggest you ease your temper." Barnes said. He got up and left, coming back shortly with Sarah in tow. "Try to enjoy what might be your last moments with a daughter you don't deserve." He said.

"Wh-what does he mean daddy? What are these men doing here?" Sarah asked, tears appearing on her face. "Why are you in cuffs?" She asked as a tear streamed down her face. Michael looks at Sarah.

"Sarah, look away, please." He said emotionless before looking at Barnes. "If you take her away I will not go easy on you. This is your last warning." He warned. A few men came into the room before he even did anything, wearing suits.

"Michael smith?" They asked looking at him.

"D-Daddy?" Sarah asked. Michael looks at the men.

"What..." He said, his voice is dark and evil sounding.

"My name is Mr. Baker, and this is Mr. Steve. We're here on account of a phone call from your boss here who told us you admitted to leaving your daughter home alone for the past year you've worked here." The man on the left said.

"These kinds of things we take seriously, and we have no choice but to take your daughter, and place her in an orphanage. So, you'll have to come with us, little girl." Steve said, grabbing Sarah's arm.

"The broken down door only feeds as evidence to the fact you are unable to raise your daughter." Barnes said.

"Wait.... before you take her, hear me out. Sarah, tell them how I'm a great father. How I took care of you when you were just three years old when... when my wife died." Michael said, looking down.

"He said he lost his previous job because he never wanted to leave me alone..." Sarah said.

"We can't prove that's what he really said, if it's the truth at all." Baker said.

"He starved to keep me fed with what little money we had...and he even home schooled me himself so I was still learning things." Sarah continued.

"That was then, this is now." Steve said. He tries to leave the room, but Lyra was there.

"Heyyyy hot stuff!" She said. She tries to make herself attractive now she was a full anthro now working on becoming a full pony. "Maybe I can work out a deal!" She said.

"What are you talking about?" Baker asked.

"The both of you get all of this luxury for the low low low price of leaving that little girl here." Lyra said, gesturing to herself.

"Deal!" Steve said. Michael looks at Lyra and mouths 'thank you' before his head flops to the side, breathing heavily. Lyra nods.

"Now how about the tree of us just go out and have some fun?" She asked, leaning against Baker.

"S-so...hot..." Baker said.  Lyra wrapped her arms around him and kissed his neck then looked to Micheal and mouthed "You owe me BIG time!" Michael stands up, feeling a little weak. Lyra walks out of the room with the two men at both her sides, and smacks Steve's rear with her tail.

"Lets go boys!" She said.

"You got lucky this time, Micheal!" Barnes yelled.

"Daddy, I wanna go home..." Sarah said.

"Go ahead since you're fired, Micheal!" Barnes yelled. Michael slowly walks out of Barnes's office.

"Oh, and hey Barnes," Michael said. He looks at Barnes and glares at him."Ever touch my daughter again and I won't go easy on you." He said. He flips Barnes off and walks off. Sarah she followed close behind.

"Why did they want to take me away daddy?" Sarah asked.

"Because I was leaving you at home alone while I am at work." Michael said.

"I hate being alone...it's scary..." Sarah said, hugging Michael's tail tightly. Michael looks down as they make it outside. A tear falls from his face as he stops.

"Something wrong, Discord, er, I mean Dis-Daddy?" Sarah asked.

"It's... It's all my fault." Michael said.

"What do you mean daddy?" Sarah asked.

"It's.... my fault that I got fired." Michael said.

"No its not..." Sarah said.

"Let's... let's just go home..." Michael said.

"Okay, Discord..daddy! Sorry!" She said. Michael sighs and walks towards his car. His ears perked up at the sound of hoofs.

"NOOOOOOO WAY IM GONNA DO that with men!" Lyra yelled. "I may enjoy being...me," She said, gesturing to herself. "But im not into men!" She yelled. Michael looks up at Lyra, then looks back down and sighs.

"Hey, Lyra..." He said.

"Hey, what's wrong, man?" Lyra asked.

"Daddy got fired..." Sarah said.

"Yeah he fired me too...he texted me..." Lyra said. Michael looks at Lyra again.

"Need a lift, Lyra....." Michael said.

"Yeah, that would be nice and since im an anthro version of myself, mind trying to um...use some magic to keep me like this?" Lyra asked as Sarah gets I to the car.

"Not right now, I'm not in the mood, sorry." Michael apologized, and got into his car.

"At least try before any other changes take place. Not right now though." Lyra said. Michael starts the car.

"I will try. And you coming?" He asked.

"Yeah." Lyra said, getting in the car and buckles up in the back. Michael dives out of the office parking lot and drives home.

"Im sorry about all of this man...that must be rough they tried to take Sarah. And those guys pretty much went striaght for s-e-x so I knocked their blocks off! They wont remember a thing when they wake up!" Lyra said.

"That's quite funny. And you know what I did to Barnes before I left, I flipped him off." Michael said.

"He deserves it! We should totes go on strike on his ass!" She yelled. After minutes of driving Michael turns the steering wheel and drives up in the driveway.

"Maybe." He said.

"That would be so funny." Lyra said. Michael turns off the car and grabs his things that he grabbed before they left, even the Screwball's propeller beanie, and gets out of the car. Sarah follows Michael. Lyra exits the car and picks up Sarah.

"Up we go!" She said. Michael opens the front door and holds it for Lyra and Sarah. Lyra smiles and walks in. Michael closes the door.

"I am going to take a nap, I'm not feeling well." He said.

"Before you do, who knows what might happen to me, so please try to do something for me, I wanna stay anthro..." Lyra said. Sarah goes into her room.

"I will try. If I mess up, I'm sorry." Michael said.

"It's cool man." Lyra said. Michael closes eyes and concentrates. Lyra smiles as her body tingles.

"I think its working!" She said. Michael continues to concentrate, but his body starts to change. Suddenly the tingling stopped. "think you did it! I mean I think my hands started turning into hooves, but they're just hands again! except with fur." Lyra giggled happily. Michael staggers a bit.

"So, tired." He said.

"Dude...I think that like made you transform faster! The horns are completely in, your right leg is a pony leg, your eyebrows are white and long and your neck is taller." Lyra said. Michael stagers towards his room.

"I... will worry about... it later. Too... tired." He said.

"Alright. I'll just hang here for a while." Lyra said as Michael closed his bedroom door behind him. "Alone..." She said. Michael flops on his bed belly first and falls asleep as soon as he lands.
