Let's Have a Party

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

I woke up the next day feeling well rested, though I would have preferred a nice pile of sheets in the laundry room, as us howlers like it warm, and also because the smell of laundry. What can I say, howlers like things odd. As I exit my room, my newly sensitive nose picks up on the smell coming from downstairs. I can't help myself, and start to slowly gravitate downstairs towards it, my mouth starting to salivate.

As I enter the kitchen, I notice Rarity is making some pancakes, and can't help but think that Queen Faust must have a sense of humor, as pancakes and waffle are almost symbolic in the comic for being the best way to start friendships. I let out a small chuckle when i think this, startling Rarity, who turns around almost immediately.

"Oh, Cameron. I didn't know you were up yet, darling. Breakfast is almost ready, so if you want to fix yourself up and possibly get Sweetie Belle up, that would be most wonderful, dear." I whimper slightly at having to leave, but reluctantly do so, heading to the bathroom to do my morning wake up routine. After about fifteen to twenty minutes, I am done. I walk out and head over to Sweetie Belles room, hoping to wake her up, when she opens the door and comes out, bumping in to me.

She looks very groggy, and has a rats nest in her hair. She looks at me in delirious surprise, as she asks me what I was doing outside her door. "Rarity told me to get you up, after I freshened myself up. I was just about to come do so."

"Well, thank you. Hey, how did I get in bed last night. I remember you telling us a bunch of stuff about yourself, then getting angry for almost touching that sword of yours, then more telling us about stuff, and then I woke up in bed. How?" she asks, still waking up.

"Well, I picked you up, and brought you upstairs, put you in bed, and bid you good night. All with your sisters blessing, of course. Your friends sisters came over and picked them up to, bout ten or so last night." I reply, telling her exactly what happened. She seems to be appeased by this answer, and moves past me and to the bathroom, to start her morning ritual.

I head downstairs yet again, straight for the kitchen, and am once again greeted by the sent of pancakes and eggs, and surprisingly, I see bacon. I ask Rarity why, and she proceeds to inform me that the ponies, while they are mainly herbivorous, they still eat meet, as their bodies had been changed by a being she called Discord, who was supposedly the god of chaos, and he had done it a few thousand years ago. She told me that they eat animals, though they don't do so all the time, and when they do, it is only in small quantities at a time. "It's to make sure that the bodies that ruffian gave to us don't break down. Sadly, when the change happened, rumor has it that the ponies at the time went and slaughtered most of the animals to eat. I dare say that when he came back just a few months back we asked him if it was true, as even the princesses said nothing on it when asked. Happily, he said that it wasn't, which he then said was true, as it wasn't a matter that he just couldn't not take seriously.

I decided to put off my judgment of Discord until I could meet him. Right now, I was ready for some friendship pancakes.

I Was heading over to the tree house that Twilight lived in, called the Golden Oaks Library, and was going to answer more of Twilight's questions, as well as she wanted to test just how powerful I was. As I got to the library, I had just began to wonder why nobody had been in town. The day before it had been packed. Now there wasn't a soul to be seen. I shrugged it off as I knocked on the door to the library, which proceeded to swing open. This was worrisome, as I didn't think Twilight would have left her door unlocked and open. I cautiously open the door and move inside, closing the door behind me in case there is any enemies in the room. I notice the lights are out, and am wondering where the light switch is when I reach out and touch something. I continue to feel it, and the more I feel of it, the more it feels slightly familiar. It feels like I am touching somepony, but how is that. the only people who should be in here should be Twilight and Spike. Who is this?

Suddenly, the pony in front of me coughs and says "Um...could you please stop touching me? It's getting kind of awkward."

"Oh, i'm sorry. I didn't mean to grope you ma'am." I say, before suddenly thinking and saying "Hey wait a min-"

At that moment, the light come on in the room and everybody in Ponyville yells one word.

"SURPRISE

I sadly have to say that I screamed like a little girl for a solid five seconds, after which I just stood their getting stared at. I decide to try and play it off.

"What, I was just using making sure that I could still do that. Besides, you'll be happy for it one day. Especially if I get lost in the woods." Welp, that was a smooth move Ex lax!I think to myself, hoping we can just move on, as the silence after the scream was just dragging me into a hole. One that I was starting to think I wouldn't get out of. The silence was broken when Pinkie Pie just appeared from over the top of my head to look down into my eyes. She then said.

"No pony here has any right to judge how you scream. Besides, I think that was slightly justified by how much we surprised you." She says this while laughing. Her laughter is so infectious though, and I have to try really hard not to laugh to, especially given the fact that this room is full of ponies that could be hurt if I were to transform in the room. luckily I am saved a moment later by pinkie saying, "We need to get the party going again. That's what we came for. Welcome to Ponyville Cameron, and thanks for stopping that Manticore yesterday. I do have to say though, that was an extremely old and revered weapon you used to do so with. Can I ask you where you got that particular blade."

"I am sorry Pinkie, but under the laws of Jonathon Flibblebottom, article 2.3.aardvark,I am not at liberty to say, as you already know."

"But under the same laws of Jonathon Flibblebottom, under article 7.penguin.monkey, I am allowed to know the name, as I am an agent of the Glippletoph Reality Federation of Shared Things. One of the higher ups has given me the ability to ask this type of question."

"Oh, which higher up. I answer to Harblenip, and he says that I can have this weapon. And, he gave me the documents that prove I am allowed to keep it." I then produce said piece of paper. Pinkie quickly glances at the paper, before handing it back.

"Very well, you don't have to tell me. But do know that I will be talking to Glandrob about this, and asking Harblenip if this is true."

"Fine, lets just start talking about normal things before we break your friends more than we have." I say, trying to bring our talk to a close. Happily, it is only Pinkie's circle of friends around us, as any other pony would have thrown us into a padded cell.

"Yeah, I don't need them knowing more than they should. However, Discord has already gotten the name of the sword, so do be careful, and only use it as a last resort." Pinkie says.

"Thanks for the warning. And I honestly planned on using as that anyways, though I will fight with it as it usually looks know."

"We both know you will, just don't use THAT for anything but big bad meanies." Pinkie says, fully ending the conversation between us. Her friends are just standing beside us, wondering just what in the hell we are talking about. In fact, Rainbow Dash even comments on it.

"What. The fuck. Where you two just talking about." She says, the five ponies still standing there with an incredulous look on their faces.

"Oh, nothing you need to know about, my dear. Let's just say that it's something beyond your comprehension." says a mysterious voice. Then, on the floor, a pair of eyes appear, and a being peels itself off the floor. It looks like a mad scientist had gone just a little crazy, and turned a goat into an amalgamation of different creatures, including a lion, goat, antelope, snake, bird, bat, and dragon. The result was something that didn't feel like it should fit in this universe. I could smell the energy coming of the creature, and it smelt of a different realm, one that was a lot more chaotic than this one.

"Hey Discord, I'm sorry. I totally forgot we were having tea today, and I came to welcome Cameron to Ponyville. Cameron, this is Discord, who has reformed himself. Discord this is Ca-" Fluttershy starts to say, before being cut of by Discord.

"Yes, I know Cameron here. Actually, it was Queen Faust who told me about him. And it's honestly true. That is something you just don't even think about just saying willy nilly. She said I might be able to have some fun with her. I also came to say hello to the other worlder for myself. If she is ok with it, I would also like to have a small spar with her. Is that alright with you Cameron. It will also allow Twilight to get to see how powerful you are," He leans in close to whisper in my ear, "without having to use your Noble Phantasm."He leans back up, and I give him a yes.

"Wonderful, we can have it in the meadow just outside the Everfree. The one over on the far side of the farm." He is saying with relish. He then tells us to meet him at 3 o'clock, and disappears, before reappearing, saying "And Fluttershy, will we still be having tea later?" he asks.

"Of course we will. Though you wont get any if you hurt Cameron to much." she says in response to the entity's question. He grins broadly before disappearing again. I then get back to the party, but my mind keeps wondering.

Whats going to happen in the fight?


Author's Note

Sorry for the small wait. I am starting another story, and am really trying to hash out details for that one as well as this one. I know where I want to go on both of them, I just need to get the world and lore right for this other story. When it gets approved, you will see why I haven't posted in the last few days. Though I am happy to give you more of this coming soon. Next time, I am fighting Discord. And it wont be easy. Also, don't worry about me and Pinkie. It is something that reality warpers need to know about, and nothing you need to concern yourself with. In this story, however, I will not warp around like Pinkie does, That is not something I do a lot. Only on occasions, or if I am in a hurry. I will be doing it a Few times though.

Have a Jivin day!
