Chapter 1: Tears (Edited)

Crystal groaned as she planted her face into the cushion of the sofa. She groaned as mixed feelings kept hitting her. Sadness, regret, guilt.

Crystal had blue hair with a streak of white in it. She doesn't know the reasoning behind her hair color change but she suspects it was some magical reaction or something. Crystal is also immortal. At least, she figured she was. Although the word immortal to some means to live forever, she knew that it's not true. It's not physically possible. Everything has an end to it soon. Like, for example, a television show or maybe a fic series. It won't go on forever.

To her, immortality is more of a curse. You don't live a happy life, you live to see your friends die before you. And she felt the pain now, at least.

She turned and laid on her back, looking up to the ceiling. She started fondling her amulet, a gold chain with a blue gem at the end. In her other hand was another identical amulet. She looked at it with a pained expression as she was hit with another wave of grief.

She turned her head and looked at the walls. Her eyes trailed towards the TV, bookshelf, table....picture frames. Specifically an old memory.

It showed a picture of her and.....Max. Laughing whilst staring at the camera. He had brown hair with a similar streak of white in his hair.

He's not here anymore. He'll never be there anymore for her. For anyone. And that's best for everyone.

She wanted to forget the heart-wretching scene. She didn't want to remember it. She felt a wave of regret hit her again.

She can't take back what she had already done. Even if it resulted in the torn relationship of her and her friends. They probably hate her at this point. She's a 'dick', in a way. A cold hearted demon.

No one will take her as hero. Not even her sister.

But her thoughts were interrupted as she was startled by a knock on her door. Goddammit. She wasn't really in the mood now to have visitors over.

"Hello?" she said, opening the door. She opened it to find her friend, Chloe, holding a large bag full of sweets and candies and other diabetic foods you could imagine.

She greeted Crystal with a hug. "How ya doing? Haven't been out much, have ya?" said Chloe, all giddy and jumpy like she had grasshoppers taped to her feet. She was energetic, which Crystal thought it was no surprise.

"Hey Chloe. I'm just...... tired, I suppose." she said as she laughed nervously. She looked at the bag of goodies. "Whatcha got there?"

"Some sweets and stuff, my friend bought them whilst they were in Tokyo. Good stuff too!" commented Chloe as she peeked in the bag. "Ya know, being cooped up in a house can't be that fun. Why don't you come with us for a picnic this evening? Michael might even bring some of his dad's famous chocolate chip cupcake surprise! It's not a surprise anymore since it's literally in the title but hey, it's great!" said Chloe, smiling brightly. Crystal gave her a weak smile.

"I dunno...." said Crystal, scratching her head. She didn't feel like going out. She faked yawned and stretched. "I'm kinda tired and feel a little....under the weather. I don't think it's a good idea for me to go."

Chloe's heartwarming smile dissipated. "Max is okay. He's in..a better place now. But you need to get some fresh air, hang with your sister or, hang with us?" Chloe asked hopefully. Crystal looked at the ground, thinking of what she could answer.

"Think about it, okay?" she said as she handed Crystal the big bag of candy. "See ya!" she said as she headed her way.

She sighed as she closed the door. "Thanks, Chloe."

"Do I really miss him?" she said, her hood up and her hand holding a picture of her, Max and her sister. Chloe and her other friends knew the cause of his dead. Just, not who. They shouldn't know anyway. They shouldn't. "........no. I shouldn't and I won't."

She put the picture into the pocket of her hoodie. She then took the bag of candy that Chloe gave her. She opened the bag of candy and smiled. She was touched that her friends cared about her. She thought about Chloe's suggestion. But....she didn't want to go out. She didn't want to see...her sister.

She hopped off of the sofa and took her satchel bag. She put her bag of candy into it, made sure her bag is full of things for the short trip of fresh air, took her portal gun out. She fiddled with the trigger a little. Looking down at it. She rubbed the cover of it, remembering the good times she and... him had just to make this. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She shot a portal and walked into it. If she wanted to get some fresh air, she'd rather do it alone.

She came out of the portal realised that she had reached a small tavern. She saw many different creatures. She had never seen any of them before. It wasn't a surprise to her though. It was another dimension, anyway. She took one step back, and accidentally stepped into a puddle of goo.

"....shit." she cursed as she raised her goo covered shoe. She looked around and saw what she was looking for. A sign with two creatures on it, each taped to a different stallroom. One had a roundish shaped creature, with a large hole in the middle of it, making it look like a donut. The other one was also round, but instead had something sticking out of it. It kinda looked like a d.........

Yea. It looked obvious which was which. She hurriedly walked to the obviously clear stallroom. When she entered, she saw a few stalls, and all vacant too.

She went into one of the stalls to clean her shoe. She only had a few tissues so she was fortunate to have entered a stall with a hose. She sprayed the bottom of her shoe and dried it off with the tissues.

"Soakin'....but it'll do." she mumbled as she flushed the tissues down into the toilet and pushed the door of her stall. When she came out, she noticed two creatures, unmistakably two men, staring at her from the corner of the room.

"....you guys are lost or something?" she asked as she walked towards the sinks. Her eyes widened. "Did I step into the men's room?"

"No, this is the women's room." replied the taller one. The taller one an alien, the skin was of a reptile, purple with a tint of blue. The shorter one also had the same type of skin, but instead had the colour of orange with a tint of yellow.

"...okay?" she mumbled. She didn't want to waste time now as she quickly scooted over to the sink. While she was putting soap on her hands (maybe it's soap, she doesn't know), she could hear the two weird alien ding-dongs discussing something.

She hurriedly washed her hands. While drying her hands on her own clothes, she realised that the shorter creature was getting closer to her. She looked away as to avoid eye contact.

Suddenly, the creature touched her shoulder (which she didn't know that she was even that tall to) and said "So, my buddy over there bet me 50 quid that I could not get a kiss from you.."

She swiped his slimy hand off of her shoulder in disgust. "...okay, and what about it?"

"Can I?"

...how fucking straight forward.

She looked at 'it', both disgusted and scared. "Um, first of all I don't like being touched so get your filthy hands of me, ya got that? Second of all, it looks like you're gonna lose because, NO." she said. "Now shoo and go kiss someone else, you gay fag. I have no time for this shit." she said as she tried walking away.

The creature didn't listen and began to get close to her. He then began gripping her shoulder tight. She tried to push him away, but then regretted it when she felt slime.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" she shouted, startling him a little.

She struggled but was pinned against the wall. She heard the other guy giggling from the corner of the room.

"Stop squirming!" he said, ready to smooch her.

She screamed as she kicked him...in the groin. He let go of her with a cry as he fell over, grasping his crotch in agony. She quickly ran into one of the stalls, took out her gun and shot out a portal. She heard the other creature thing laughing his as off at the corner of the room.

"....fuckin'- OI! COME BACK HERE, YOU LITTLE-" she went through the portal hurriedly, not hesitanting at the very least.

She came out of the portal with a yelp. As she landed, she inhaled and exhaled vigorously. She was going to wipe the sweat off of her face.... but she realised something. She felt fur. She felt fur everywhere.

"....AHHHHH!!! MY HANDS!!!! THEY'RE...........stubs?" She tried to stand up on all fours. She felt a draft from behind as she did so.

"Jesus Christ, I'm naked!" she said, realising she wasn't wearing clothes anymore. She looked at herself more. She inserted her gun back into her bag. She saw a...murky looking puddle not far ahead and ran towards it. She looked at her reflection. She had a tail, she had fur, she had..... wings, she had a..... horn,.......she had a weird butt tattoo and she looked back at her hooves.

She then knew. "..hooves..." She was turned into a pony! Not a tiger or something cooler, but a PONY! Come on, man. Why not a dragon or something?

She realised that she was turned into a pony. But if she was a pony, and ponies don't wear clothes...... Okay, she's good.

She then looked around at the odd place she landed in. Fuck, traumatised by her friend's death, almost getting kissed by a weird turd and now turned into a possibly cute and adorable pony? How could this day get any worse.

She looked at her surroundings. Candy canes protruded from the ground. The ground was pink and....gelatin feel. She looked at some of the trees and saw birds. Not just any birds, colorful and.... well..... weird looking fucking birds. The birds could be seen flying upside down. What was even more weird was the fact that she could've sworn she heard it moo.

She then looked up into the sky. The sky was light pink with...... wait.

"....cotton candy?". She saw the sweet fluffy cloud rain down some kind of brown liquid. It rained down on top of her. It smelled familiar. She stuck her tongue out a little and tasted the sweet smelling rain.

"Chocolate milk?" she said, confused. "...have I teleported into Wonka's chocolate factory?"

"Do you like it?" said a mysterious voice.

"What kind of a question i- Wait, who are you?" she said and looked around. "Where are you?" she said.

"Look up." said the voice again.

She looked up and saw a creature, smirking on the cotton candy cloud. It looked like a disaster. A lion paw, a talon, a goat leg, a dragon's leg- She could go on and on.

"What in the Gods' name are you?" her thoughts slipped out, and she quickly held her tongue.

"That's what I asked....but that's besides the point! Now, I only knew that there were three Alicorn princesses. Sunbutt, Lulu and Cay-cay. Who, may I ask are you?" he said, summoning a glass and filling it to the brim with chocolate milk.

"I-I'm an alicorn?" she said out loud. What the fuck is an Alison? He rolled his eyes.

"Well duh. What did you think you are, a zebra?" he said. He floated next to her. "Although you might look good with a few stripes here and there." he said as he trailed his talon along her body, and each time making a purple stripe appear.

"Gah!!" she yelped in alarm, making him smirk as he put his attention back to his precious cup of chocolate milk and began to drink

She gave a puzzled look as he drank the glass instead of the chocolate milk. "Any day now." he said, waiting for a reply.

"....I-I'm Crystal. C-C-Crystal Miamori." she said, but cursing herself afterwards for stuttering.

"Why hello there C-C-Crystal. I'm D-D-Discord, The L-L-Lord of C-C-Chaos!" he said, finding the situation slightly amusing.

"What's that you got there?" he said pointing to her amulet. She put a hoof to her amulet, covering it up.

"Uhhhh........ well, w-what's that on your shirt?" she said quickly as she then started running. She quickly ran to the woods of candied trees. She used her magic to take her portal gun from out of her bag and shoot a portal.

When she took it out, she realised something. "DAMMIT! OUT OF CHARGE!" she shouted, but quickly covered her mouth.

"How immature of you! Running off while we were having a pleasant conversation." said Discord, his snake-like body coiled on the tree branch. "And Celestia said I'm the immature one..."

She tried to run away, but tripped on a branch along the way. "What's the hurry? The fun just started!" he said, as a burst of confetti came out of nowhere.

"...you don't scare me..." she said, staring at him whilst lying on the ground.

His grin widened. "Oh, but you should." he said as his face started contorting and leaning towards her. He made his eyes fully red as his face turned black and creepy. "The big bad Discord is feared by everypony, and if you don't fear him something bad might happen, muahahahah......" he started laughing like a crazed maniac

She shielded her eyes in fear. "....I wanna go home...." she said, trembling.

He turned back to himself as he restrained his head back. "So sad. I would help you, but I just have so much chaos to do! Ta-ta!" said Discord, as he snapped his talon and a burst of light flashed.

She slowly lowered her hooves as she watched the light fade. ".....I didn't really need your help anyway." she said out loud into the air like he could hear her. Maybe. She hoped not.

"..where am I?" she said as she groaned. Just a great day for her.
