Discord and Twilight had transported to the table where the lunch/picnic took place. Just as Discord described; the table cloth was red that day. The sun was shining brightly. The time travelling pair hid in the bushes. They needed to have a good view of what had happened.

"And you're sure this is where the get together took place?" Twilight asked.

"Absolutely! Too bad you don't remember having this discussion earlier" Discord replied. "Enough chat though, here come your friends"

"So why are we all here exactly?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I was in the middle of flying practice"

"Well, everyone. Discord and I thought it would be a good idea if you came along to our weekly picnics" Fluttershy replied.

"But why? Why does Discord want us to come?"

"He just felt a bit uneasy after what happened at the Grand Galloping Gala. He wants a chance to get to know you all better"

"I don't think this is everypony. Where is Twilight?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"Good point, darling. Where could she possibly be?" Rarity asked.

"I can answer that" Discord appeared behind them. It gave both of them a fright. "I looked in her castle and it looked like she was busy"

"Busy, busy with what? I had to put my chores on hold. What could she possibly be doing?" Applejack asked.

"It looked like she and Spike were organizing the library. Something about a 'book-sort-cation' or something"

"You were spying on her?" Fluttershy asked. Discord saw the look in Fluttershy's eyes and started to panic.

"No, no, no! I wasn't spying on her. I was merely observing her that's all"

"That's a shame though. I bet Twilight would've liked to be with us in...whatever this is supposed to be" Rainbow replied.

"A lunch date! This is going to be so much fun! I'm going to learn so much about you ponies!"

The majority of the time however was silence. The ponies just finished their soups and the waiter had come to collect their bowls. Rainbow Dash was eyeing Discord. She still didn't like him after all the bad things that he had done. She didn't really tolerate him at all. Twilight was very confused.

"I don't understand. It doesn't look like you guys are having any fun" Twilight sadly said. Discord stroked his beard and squinted his eyes. He turned himself into some binoculars.

"Nothing. Nothing is happening"

"When do you guys laugh and share jokes with each other then?"

"I could've sworn it was now" Discord summoned a watch on his wrist. "I don't know what could've happened". Twilight got something out from her pocket. It was an apple. "Twilight, what are you doing?"

"Making this more interesting, I'm not going to be satisfied until I SEE..THOSE...JOKES!" Twilight threw the apple and that knocked the table a bit, startling the other ponies.

"Twilight, why did you do that? You could alter time! I thought you were worried about that sort of thing!" Discord whispered in rage.

"I told you. Making it more interesting, look"

As the apple violently knocked the table, the two jars of peanut butter fell off and landed on Discord's feet. He felt a rather sticky sensation that smelt of peanuts. He decided to get up and figure out what had happened.

"Ugh, I have peanut butter stuck to my feet!" he shouted in disgust. Pinkie Pie just burst out laughing.

"Oh Discord! You've got a little something on your feet!" she laughed.

"I don't suppose anyone wants peanut butter, stirred the best by draconequus feet! I call it: Peanut butter hoof!"

"Peanut butter hoof? Yuck, not even with jelly!" Applejack objected in disgust.

"Well it looks like you've gotten yourself in a sticky situation!" Pinkie Pie continued.

"Sticky! I get it because his feet are stuck in the peanut butter!" Rainbow cracked. Discord then had an idea.

"Well, if we're going to have entertainment, then I think we shall have entertainment!"

Discord got up onto the top of the table and started tap dancing with the peanut butter jars still stuck to his feet. It was only a matter of time before Fluttershy, Rarity and finally Applejack burst out laughing.

"Well, I guess it happened after all" The current Discord mentioned. "And it was all thanks to your apple" Twilight couldn't reply as she was too busy laughing. "Twilight, are you..laughing?"

"That stunt I pulled was hilarious! you should've seen the look on your face!" she laughed. Discord smiled at her. He was glad that she was finally laughing. But then he gazed in awe at something else. As she was laughing, her coat color had come back to it's normal shade of purple and the thorns around her had disappeared. Whatever happened must have made Twilight slowly go back to her normal self.

"Twilight, you're turning normal again" he mentioned. Twilight looked and saw that she had changed.

"Yeah so? All I did was throw a measly apple at the table for entertainment"

"But because you did that, you created the joke! It's all coming back to me! After the lunch ended, I noticed the apple had come from this bush!"

"I guess"

"Now come on. Let's find the next joke!"

Next, Discord took Twilight to the next day. Applejack was busy helping Applebloom with the garden.

"What joke is this supposed to be?"

"I believe this is the one with the snake"

"This better be good. I still can't get over how funny the peanut butter hoof was!"

"I'm glad you're finally laughing at them"

"All of this gardening is gonna take so much work!" Applebloom complained.

"Oh Applebloom, I can't help ya. I have my own chores to do" Applejack replied.

"But do I have to do the entire garden by myself?"

"I guess it does seem a bit unfair," Applejack looked around before she quietly spoke in Applebloom's ear. "Maybe just this once I can get somepony to help you out"

"Really?" Applebloom asked, excited.

"I'd figure I can do it this once"

"Why the sudden change of heart?"

"I got to know somepony better yesterday. He got himself in a real sticky situation!" Applejack laughed. In the background, so did Twilight Sparkle.

"You're talking about me I presume?" the other Discord asked, magically appearing in front of them. "I guess it was thanks to you that the get together was made more interesting! You dropped that apple and it knocked the peanut butter on my feet!"

Applejack looked at Discord in confusion.

"I didn't have an apple with me" she replied. "In fact, I didn't see anypony with an apple"

"If none of you threw the apple, then who did?" Discord asked.

"It was me! go Twilight! go Twilight!" Twilight shouted out.

"You know that Discord can't hear you, right?" the current Discord mentioned.

"I know"

"Wait Discord!" Rainbow Dash was flying as fast as she could to where Discord was. "Why did you disappear like that? I was looking all over for you!"

"You were looking all over for Discord? Am I hearing this right?" Applejack smirked. Rainbow Dash paused.

"Well, after the get together with the peanut butter. Discord decided he should hang out with me more. We were in the middle of playing hide and seek when he cheated and appeared on your farm"

"How did ya get here so fast?"

"Did you forget who you're talking to? I'm the fastest flier in Ponyville!"

"So I don't just have this goat thing helping me, but I also get Rainbow Dash?" Applebloom asked excitedly. She wasn't a big fan of Rainbow Dash like Scootaloo was, but she owed her for giving her the idea to crusade for her cutie mark.

"Helping you with what?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Oh, we've just volunteered to help this member of the apple family with the gardening" the other Discord replied.

"What? Why?"

"You guys are gonna help me, aren't you?" Applebloom asked, making her puppy eye look.

"How can you say no to that face?" Discord asked Rainbow Dash. She was hesitant but then she sighed.

"Fine. We can help you with your chores. But in return, you have to help me with something I have to do afterwards"

"What's that?"

"You have to do my laundry" Rainbow added.

"Dashie, Dashie. This is a filly you're talking to." Discord Objected. "Shouldn't you give her something more-"

"I can do it" Applebloom interrupted.

"Really?" Rainbow asked, hopeful.

"You'll be amazed on how many difficult chores I have ta do at Sweet Apple Acres. I think I can handle some laundry"

"Then it's settled. Let's help you with this garden!"

Everything was going quite well. The gardening was in full progress. But Twilight was getting rather bored.

"What's wrong now, Twilight?" the current Discord asked the princess.

"Again, nothing is happening. You and Rainbow Dash are just pulling vegetables from the ground. Why aren't you using your magic to pull them out instead?"

"Well I would've. But I didn't want to. Because I got my one and only chance with hanging out with the pony who despised me the most"

"Rainbow Dash?"

"You despised me too. But Rainbow Dash was just, how do I put this, overprotective?"

"Overprotective?"

"Yes. Because apparently she and Fluttershy have been friends since they were fillies"

"So? then it means you have one thing in common"

"What?"

"You and Rainbow Dash are good friends with Fluttershy"

Discord contemplated.

"You might be onto something"

"What about the snake? when does the snake arrive?"

"Probably now. It must be late like the peanut butter was" Suddenly, Twilight let out a huge scream. "Twilight, what's wrong?"

"S-s-s-s-snake!" she cried. "I'm scared of snakes!"

"The princess of Friendship is scared of snakes?" Discord laughed. "This is priceless! Since when?"

"I got chased by them whilst I was trying to wake up hibernating animals, then I accidentally walked into a cave full of bats, then I got my head stuck in a beehive"

"Winter Wrap up?"

"Yes. And the worse thing about that was the skunk"

"A skunk?" Discord cracked up. "That's even better!"

"But what are we going to do about this snake?"

"I don't know, do something!"

Twilight used her magic to scare the snake away from the bush.

"That was close" Twilight exhaled.

The snake was heading in Rainbow Dash's general direction. It started crawling up her leg. Rainbow immediately freaked out.

"Ahh! There's a snake on me! Get it off! Get it off!" she cried.

"How did that get there?" Applebloom asked.

"Don't worry, I've got it!" the other Discord replied, getting a golf club and sending it to the other side of town. "You ok?"

"Yeah. I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I just got a bit of a shock. I'm not as great with animals as Fluttershy"

"Why did you hit a hose?" Fluttershy asked. She was walking with Applejack.

"A hose?" Rainbow and Discord asked simultaneously.

"Nah, I'm pretty sure it was a stick" Applejack argued.

"A stick?" Rainbow and Discord asked again. Then they cracked up laughing.

"If it wasn't a hose or a stick, then what was it?" Fluttershy asked.

"It was a snake!" Discord and Rainbow jinxed as they kept on laughing.

"You hit a snake?!" Fluttershy sounded very distraught and fainted. Rainbow and Discord continued laughing on how funny the situation was.

"That was priceless!" Twilight giggled. "You just sent that snake to the other side of town!"

"Yep. Pretty much!" the current Discord replied.

Twilight just continued laughing. She began to change again. Her mane and tail reverted back to it's purple and pink color scheme.

"You've changed again! the color is slowly coming back to you" Discord replied. "I wonder how long until you've returned back to normal"

"Who cares? I actually get those jokes now! And I caused them!"

"Uh uh uh. We're not done yet. There's still one more joke that will turn you back to normal"

"What's that?"

"The incident with the oranges"

Author's Note

I know I know. In the actual episode, something different happens with the snake. That will be explained why that is in the next chapter. But this is what I was really leading up to. I wanted to find out why the jokes were so funny in the first place. So then I came up with the idea that Twilight actually created the jokes without knowing it. Pretty creative.
