Author's Note

Sorry about the Fluttercord in the last chapter. I am making my own ship, called Coney. (Concord and Posey from the alternate universe, much like Fluttercord, but its not) I'm trying to leave out the Fluttercord, but, I have no trouble showing the Coney in this story.

Bonding

Concord opened his eyes and moaned. The night had been rough, as he kept dreaming about his fight with Solar and Umbra. Concord looked up at the ceiling. He stretched and rubbed the sleep out his eyes, then finally sitting up. He yawned.

"HEYA, CONCORD!" yelled Discord, and he opened the door suddenly. Concord yelped and leaped out of the couch, falling with a loud bang. Discord burst out laughing.

"Good morning to you too, Discord," grumbled Concord, rubbing his back that he hit on the ground. Concord stood up, and glared.

"Nice way to start the morning," grinned Discord. "So, what would you like for breakfast? Cotton Candy? Chicken? Dog Food?" Concord raised an eyebrow and winced.

"How about some eggs?" asked Concord.

"Eggs would be nice," agreed Discord. He snapped his talons, and they were in Discord's dining room, a platter of two eggs on each of their plates. "Let's eat!" Discord grabbed an egg and slurped it up. Concord watched in disgust at what terrible table manners Discord had. Discord only just noticed Concord staring at him after he finished.

"What?" snapped Discord. Concord looked down to his eggs and waved his paw. Nothing happened. He tried again. "What are you trying to do?"

"I'm trying to summon a fork, but my magic isn't working!" exclaimed Concord, and he started to panic. "What is wrong with my magic? I can't access it!"

"Hmm, let me check," said Discord, and he snapped his claws. His eyes widened. "Your magic has been drained. It will take quite some time before you can even simply summon a napkin. Let me summon it for you." Discord snapped his talons, and there was a twisted fork in front of Concord.

"Can I have an ordinary one?" asked Concord. Discord groaned and rolled his eyes, summoning a plain, boring fork. "Thank you."

"Don't mention it," replied Discord. "Really, don't mention it. It will ruin my reputation if anypony finds out that I have actually summoned something so plain."

"Okay," replied Concord, and he started to each his breakfast, but he was so upset that it was hard to chew. He couldn't use his own magic! Concord was used to being able to summon or do anything he needed to do at the wave of his paw, literally, when suddenly he was magicless. Concord set down the fork after he was finished.

"So, anything planned today?" asked Concord.

"Hmm, I haven't really thought about anything to do," replied Discord. He chuckled after a few moments of silence. "How about some good old fashioned pranking?" Concord raised an eyebrow.

"What is pranking?" asked Concord. Discord gasped.

"You don't know what pranking is?" gasped Discord. "What cruel world have you come from?"

"Well, I've heard that some pranking has gone on in my world, but I never took the time to find whatever it is," replied Concord.

"I will show you then!" exclaimed Discord. He snapped his talons, and Concord looked around to see where he was. It was the center of a town Concord didn't recognize.

"Where are we?" asked Concord.

"Just in Ponyville," replied Discord. "Don't you have a Ponyville in your world?"

"Well, we don't name places with pony or anything, due to all the creatures in our world living together," replied Concord. "There are many other species, and it is quite racial to name a place for one species."

"So, the name should be changed here?" confirmed Discord.

"Yes," replied Concord.

"Bring it up to Princess Starbutt," said Discord. "She can help rename the town. How about Chaosville?"

"That is the worst name ever, no offense," said Concord.

"Well, Ponyville is much worse!" retorted Discord. "It was a suggestion."

"Alright, then," Concord watched Discord warily, as Discord gave him a frightening look. Discord turned away and searched the land. He found nothing, and then sighed. Suddenly, he saw that green unicorn that was obsessed with anthropology.

"See that mare?" asked Discord, pointing.

"Yes?" Concord tilted his head, confused.

"Well, she is the first pony we will prank today," said Discord.

"Okay," replied Concord.

"Watch and learn," commanded Discord, and then he snapped his talons and was gone. Concord with the corner of his eye saw a flash. He turned his head, to see a creamy colored earth pony with blue and pink hair waving at him. Concord realized it was Discord when the eyes flashed cinnamon and golden. Concord raised a paw and set it down, to show Discord he was ready.

Discord saw it was clear to start when Concord waved. Discord started to trot to the mare in his new form.

"Hey, Lyra!" called Discord, suddenly remembering the mare's name. Lyra turned to her 'friend'.

"Hey, Bon Bon!" replied Lyra. "Why are you back so soon from your trip to Canterlot?"

"I got bored there," replied Discord, not showing the panic he was feeling. "I got pretty bored there."

"What?! I spent a lot of bits for you to go there!" snapped Lyra. "I knew you wanted to go to the Broadway thing tomorrow! That was one hundred bits for the ticket! The restaurant I booked a table for you all week was a lot too!"

"Oh, I'm sorry," apologized Discord sarcastically. Lyra paled and her lips pulled back in a snarl.

"You take everything I do for you for granted," snarled Lyra. "And all you do is make fun of my studies." Discord had enough. He changed back to normal and growled.

"Wow, nice way to ruin a prank, buddy," snapped Discord. "You don't appreciate your marefriend enough! Sheesh, hard to find any fun here." Discord flashed away, and left a dumbstruck Lyra behind. Discord flashed beside Concord.

"Well, that was a fail," commented Discord. "I guess I just can't prank her. It has worked before..."

"Okay, well, what are we going to do now?" asked Concord.

"We are going to prank somepony else," replied Discord. "Here, let's get going." Discord flapped his mismatched wings and flew in place in ths sky twenty feet from Concord. Concord flapped his own wings and took off. Discord looked around.

"Anypony we can prank?" asked Concord, who looked around too.

"There!" exclaimed Discord, and he pointed his paw to a pegasus mare with a rainbow mane, who slept soundly on a fluffy white cloud.

"So, what do I do?" asked Concord. Discord thought.

"Well, can you summon any type of raincloud, preferably cotton candy clouds that rain chocolate milk?" asked Discord, he snapped his talons and a pink cloud raining a brown substance appeared. Concord hissed.

"Umbra attacked me with something like that," hissed Concord. His tone softened as he said,"Well, I can summon a regular raincloud. I have to help the pegasi with the weather sometimes, after all."

"Okay, good enough," said Discord. "So, what you can do is to summon a thunder cloud above this mare and hit it, making lightning hit her and rain over her."

"That doesn't sound very safe at all," Concord crossed his arms, not going to harm anypony for his amusment.

"Well, she's tough," said Discord. "She won't be very hurt at all. Not to mention she did the same thing to me a few days back."

"So this is for revenge?" asked Concord. "Well, count me out on your revenge plots."

"This isn't for revenge!" retorted Discord. He groaned. "Well, you're no fun. I guess I will do this myself." Before Concord could protest, Discord snapped his talons, and the cloud, except made from cotton candy, appeared over the mare. Discord kicked it with his goat leg, and then the cloud hit the mare with lightning and started raining chocolate. The mare yelped and shot up in the air.

"Discord!" snapped Concord.

"You are exactly like Fluttershy," mumbled Discord. "No fun." He mentally thought to himself that Concord wasn't nearly as loveable as Fluttershy was.

"What's the big deal?" growled the mare as she flew into Discord's face. "Why are you making chaos again?"

"Dashie, my friend, it was merely a prank," smirked Discord. Concord hid behind a cloud, afraid to be blamed for the mare's suffering.

"First of all, my name is Rainbow Dash, and you can only call me that," hissed Rainbow.

"Kay, Dashie," Discord defiantly replied. Rainbow groaned and facepalmed.

"Second of all, I will get you back, BIG TIME!" Rainbow flew away as fast as she could. Discord was silent. It was quiet for what seemed like years. Then, he cracked up. Concord emerged from behind the cloud, and looked at Discord in confusion.

"That was priceless!" laughed Discord.

"But you just got threatened," reminded Concord.

"Oh, I don't care," replied Discord. "Next time she pranks me, I will take her wings and make her an earth pony. She hates being on the ground, so it's perfect." Concord rolled his eyes.

"Well, whatever," said Concord. "Can you let me see some of your friends?" Discord stared at him.

"Well, that mare was one, kind of," said Discord. "How about you come and meet my good friend, Fluttershy."

"Okay," Concord nodded. Discord smiled, and snapped his talons. Concord looked around to see a beautiful, green garden with many types of harmonic flowers. Carnations, roses, lilies, tulips, and more were scattered around. Animals were here and there, getting along perfectly, sharing food. Concord looked forward, to see a cute cottage ahead.

"Nice place, isn't it?" asked Discord, and Concord nodded. "Looks like we came at lunch time." Discord started walking towards the door, Concord following. Discord knocked on the door. There was scuffling inside. A crashing noise came from inside as well.

"Angel!" snapped a soft voice from inside. "Just a minute!" Discord groaned.

"Dumb rabbit giving Fluttershy problems again," hissed Discord. Concord raised an eyebrow. Hoofsteps sounded inside, coming closer to the door. The door then opened slowly.

"H-Hello?" greeted a voice from a small yellow pegasus, who Concord found hauntingly alike Posey, the mare he- No, those days were over. Concord frowned.

"My dear Fluttershy!" exclaimed Discord, scooping the pegasus in his arms, and she giggled, turning slightly pink. Concord smirked, sensing the emotions coming through the two. Concord leaned over to Discord's ear.

"My, my," whispered Concord. "Getting really attracted to her, aren't you?" Discorde flushed a bright pink, which went unnoticed by Fluttershy.

"Shut up," hissed Discord back. "She doesn't know." Fluttershy picked up the noise, and her gaze went to Concord. Fluttershy gasped in fright, and jumped from Discord's arms, and raced inside.

"Fluttershy, wait!" said Discord, and she stopped before closing the door. "Concord is nobody to be afraid of. Can you let us inside and we can explain?" Fluttershy looked to the ground.

"Okay, I guess," she replied. She stepped aside, and the two draconequi stepped inside.

"Nice place," commented Concord, and Fluttershy gave him a weak smile, but still watched him warily.

"Here, sit," said Fluttershy. "Tea?"

"Please," said Concord.

"Sure, thanks, my dear," replied Discord, as he sat down at a table. Concord reluctantly sat next to him, unsure if he was invited to the table. Nobody protested to him, so Concord took that to be clear. Fluttershy emerged from the kitchen, holding a kettle carefully. Discord snapped his talons, and there were three cups on the table.

"Oh, Discord, can you add another one?" asked Fluttershy.

"What for?" asked Discord, tilting his head.

"Twilight is going to be here in a few minutes," replied Fluttershy.

"Okay," replied Discord, and he snapped his talons, and one more cup was there. Fluttershy poured the dark tea inside each of the cups.

"Sugar? Milk?" offered Fluttershy.

"No thank you, I like my tea black," said Concord.

"Ten teaspoons of sugar?" asked Discord eagerly. Fluttershy raised an eyebrow and giggled, adding in the sugar to his cup. There was then a knock on the door.

"Oh, here is Twilight!" exclaimed Fluttershy, and she went to the door. Discord turned to Concord.

"Be prepared for Princess Starbutt," groaned Discord. Concord furrowed his eyebrows, angrily.

"Don't be so disrespectful to your rulers," growled Concord.

"Well, I'm a lord too!" exclaimed Discord. Concord rolled his eyes, and then a purple alicorn entered the room.

"Oh, Discord, what are you doing here?" asked Twilight, sounding pretty rude.

"Twilight!" scolded Fluttershy, her eyes narrowing. "Please be nicer to Discord!" Twilight's gaze passed to Concord.

"Whoa," said Twilight. "I thought Discord was the last draconequus."

"Well, Concord is about to explain," said Discord. "Well, come on, we don't have all day."

"Okay, so, it is true. Discord is the last draconequus," started Concord. "I am from a parallel universe where many things are different. I was the ruler there, Concord, the Lord of Harmony as I was known. My faithful student Twilight Twinkle one day set out to find the Elements of Harmony. I told her not to, as Umbra and Solar, two chaos users who are very evil, had escaped from the Lake of Harmony, where they were trapped. I was going to use the Elements to put them back in that lake. Well, Twilight disobeyed me, and found her five best friends to find the Elements and stop the two themselves, to find fame. But, Solar had already corrupted the Elements so that they would obey her and Umbra. Now, they are the Elements of Chaos. I was banished to an alternate Equestria, stripped of my magic. I found that I can still fly. But now, I need to find a way to home, and I need help. I-I don't want anypony else to perish because I can't return home." The two ponies stared at him in shock. Discord was even shocked because, now, Concord was sobbing. Concord cupped his face in his paw and claw, crying his eyes out.

"Calm down! Calm down," said Discord, and he hugged Concord. "Everything will be alright. We will help you get home." Concord sniffed and looked up at Discord.

"Thank you," said Concord, smiling warmly. "I'm glad we're friends." Discord's heart warmed. He had made another friend, without being forced to by Fluttershy.

"So, will you two help me help Concord help Equestria?" asked Discord, who made the sentence slightly confusing on purpose.

"Sure, I guess?" replied Twilight. Fluttershy nodded. "Well, Concord, can you stop by my castle so you can tell me more?"

"Okay," replied Concord.

"And tomorrow I will come here again," said Discord. "Fluttershy is a beautiful, clever mare. She can help me find a way to get you home and find a way to defeat Solar and Umbra." Fluttershy's face flushed.

"But now, we all need to get home," said Twilight. "It's sunset now." Discord looked out the window, and it was true. It was now sunset.

"Okay, let's get home, Concord," said Discord. "Goodbye, everypony." He snapped his talons and he and Concord were home.

"Oh, no they don't!" hissed Umbra, as she looked at the vision Solar created.

"They can't come back!" growled Solar. "Equestria is ours, now!"

"Exactly," replied Umbra.

"We will need to keep the Elements of Chaos on high guard," said Solar. "We can't have Concord making Equestria a dumb, harmonic place again." Solar and Umbra ignited their horns, and The Elements of Chaos appeared.

"You needed us?" asked Twilight, her eyes burning crimson.

"Yes, Concord and some new friends of his are coming to Equestria, to take it back," informed Umbra.

"Well, they won't get it!" hissed Firefly, flicking her now gray mane.

"We need you to make sure they don't get very far once they arrive," said Solar. "Kill them."

"Yeah, sure," started Posey, her gray self shuddering at the thought of killing somepony, especially Concord. She didn't know why, but, she couldn't bring herself to do it. She was the Element of Cruelty now, though.

"I love serving my princesses," lied Applejack, recieving glares.

"It will be delightfully fun," commented Sparkler.

"No fun allowed!" snapped Surprise. Umbra and Solar smiled. They were always going to rule Equestria.
