The Tour (Warning. May upset some readers.)

After a few minutes I stand back up and take a deep breath. I wipe the tears from my eyes and start to clean myself up. After cleaning myself I put my clothes back on.

'I need to get some new clothes.' I think to myself with a depressed sigh.

I step out of the bathroom and head towards the front door, opening it. The door emits a high pitched creak as I open it. I step outside in to the sunlight. I cover my eyes as it blinds me for a second. I blink away the pain and stop covering my eyes. I take a moment to look around me. In front of me are Scootaloo, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle.

"Are you ready Daniel?" Scootaloo asks with a smile.

"Yeah. So where are we heading to today?" I ask.

"Ponyville. The town right next to my house." Scootaloo answers as she points to the town to my left.

"Lead the way." I say with a smile.

Scootaloo nods and leads me into the town.

"This is what the houses look like in Ponyville. They mostly look the same apart from a few that are also shops and stuff like that." Scootaloo says as she points to a house.

"Okay. So how many houses are there here?" I ask.

"I don't know. Sweetie? Apple Bloom?" Scootaloo asks with a hint of hope.

"No idea." They both reply.

"None of us know." Scootaloo sighs.

"It's fine. So what else is there here?" I ask with a smile.

"There's a bakery. It's run by some nice ponies called Mister and Misses Cake." Scootaloo explains. "I can take you there right now if you want."

"Sure. I would love to see a.... Bakery? I'm not sure what one is but It'll be interesting to learn about it." I say with a shrug.

"You don't know what a bakery is?" Sweetie Belle asks.

"He's lost most of his memory so he can't remember a lot of things. At one point he didn't know his name, he said to call him James. No idea why James came to his head." Scootaloo says with a confused look.

I grind my teeth together just at the mention of the name James.

"Are ya okay Daniel? Ya look really angry?" Apple Bloom asks.

I snap out of my anger and smile.

"Yeah I'm fine. It's nothing worth getting worried over." I assure her.

"Are you sure?" She asks.

"One hundred percent." I answer.

"Well if ya say so." Apple Bloom shrugs.

"Anyway. We're gonna go to the bakery next! They might even give us some free cupcakes or something because Daniel's new to Ponyville." Scootaloo says with a giant excited smile.

"That's true.... Or they could chase us out of the town. I guess it depends on how everyone's feeling today." Sweetie Belle points out.

"That's true." Scootaloo mumbles.

"Is that Discord over there?" Apple Bloom asks.

"It is. We should probably introduce him to Daniel. Just a warning Daniel, Discord loves causing trouble." Scootaloo warns.

"Causes trouble, got it." I repeat.

"Okay then, let's go say hi and introduce you." Scootaloo says as she starts to walk over to the weird creature a few metres in front of us. "Discord!"

"Hmm?" Discord hums as he turns towards us. "Well, well, well. The cutie mark crusader, what can I do for you today?"

"We want to introduce you to our new friend." Scootaloo says as she points towards me.

"Daniel Isle. Well. I never expected to see YOU here. Now that does throw a bit of a spanner in the works, but this is gonna be a FUN spanner." He says with a grin.

"Urm. How do you know my name? I haven't even been introduced yet." I ask with a look of worry.

"Where are my manners. I'll let you introduce yourself, then I'll introduce myself." Discord says with a well mannered tone.

"Okay.... My name's Daniel Isle. I'm a monkey or something like that." I say as I hold my hand out for a handshake.

He stares at my hand for a second before a grin spreads across his face.

"A pleasure to meet you again Daniel. Well. My name is Discord, I am the spirit of disharmony, yadda, yadda, yadda. I also have another name. One a lot more interesting." Discord says with a large toothy grin.

"What's the other name?" I ask as a look of worry creeps across my face.

"My other name is. James." Discord says as a snake tongue slides out from between his teeth.

My vision blurs after hearing that name. I can hear a deep laugh coming from Discord.

"Do you remember me? Your daughter felt tight by the way, your wife was a bit loose but she was used when she was young so I can't hold that against her." Discord chuckles.

"I'll kill you." I growl as I swing my fist at Discord.

He dissapears then appears behing me.

"Now, now, Daniel. Violence here isn't welcome. You don't even wanna hear my evil master plan? Jeez, James Bond had the manners to listen, why can't you?" Discord asks with a laugh.

"Because I don't care about your reason. I'm gonna kill you so it doesn't matter." I say as I swing my elbow at him.

He ducks beneath it avoiding my attack without any real effort.

"I'm gonna tell you anyway so sit down and shut up." Discord says with a bored tone.

Something knocks me onto my butt and I stick to the ground beneath me. I try to stand up but I can't get off of the ground.

"Now then. I love a bit of choas. This world, that world, your world. All of them are my targets. I saw how much your family meant to you and so I caused a bit of chaos in your life. Well... A bit is an understatement. One of my proudest works to be honest. I'd been building up those loads that I left in your family for about three hundred years. So I made sure they where nice and full." He laughs.

"Fuck you!" I growl.

"Ooooo. Spicy. Well, I'll be taking my leave. I hope to see you around Daniel. Cutie Mark Crusaders, I bid you adew." Discord says with a bow.

"Daniel. Who's James?" Scootaloo asks with a look of fear.

"I'll explain in a bit. I... I need some time alone right now." I explain as I rest my head in my hands.

"Are you okay?" Scootaloo asks.

"No." I answer.


Author's Note

James. A terrible deed done for a terrible reason. "What do you think? Once again tell me what you enjoyed and what I need to work on. It'll help me with this story if I know what I'm doing right and what I'm doing wrong." I'm sorry if the phrasing of somethings may upset you.
