Being a unborn foal with the intelligence of a ten year old isn't easy.

After the elements of harmony sealed Discord away and everything returned to normal, Discord's chaos did leave some marks behind. An unexpected branch of chaos created a unborn foal with the intelligence of a ten year old. The foal has no idea what's going on when he's suddenly aware of what happens around him. And Discord bothering ponies isn't helping either.

What's this?

What's this?

It was two months since Discord's defeat and it was another beautifull day in Equestria. Everypony was cheerfull and doing their useual routine. Well, almost everypony.

'Stupid ponies with their stupid magic of friendship. I was supposed to be spreading chaos and having fun! But noooooo those stupid ponies had to seal me away again. I'm bored! I'm going insane! Oh wait, I can't go insane. That means I'm going sane. Ugh. Soon I'll catch myself talking to someone who doesn't exist!' Discord was more than pissed. But there's nothing he could do about it.

SPLAT

'Oh come on! Go away stupid birds!' And bird poop didn't brighten his mood one bit. 'How can things actually get worse?! Wait, is that... Oh great. Rain! And it's not even choclat milk! Ugh... Even if it was I wouldn't be able to drink it. Wait... Is that chaos I sense? It would be my ticket out of here if it was stronger but still, chaos is chaos. At least my spirit can now leave my body. Let's take a look shall we? ...Who am I actually talking to? Nevermind.' He left his body and flew towards the source of chaos.

"... Sister! Please let me go to the concert!" He suddenly heard a fimiliar voice. He turned around and saw a blue alicorn following Celestia.

'Is that?'

"Luna, we both have to attend to this meeting. I'm sorry but you can't go." Luna mumbled something in response to Celestia's answer.

'Yes she is! Little Woona! I haven't seen you in eons!' He brought his head to her level but instead of seeing him she walked straight through him. Discord shuddered. It wouldn't have bin that bad if he hadn't seen her insides.. 'Ugh... I did not need to see that. Well that's only a slight downside but I'm not in the position to complain. After all, who would be able to hear it?' He continued his search for the chaos he felt and he soon arrived in familiar surroundings.

'Ponyville? Can't say I'm too surprised. After all, I did turn it into the capital of chaos. Now where is the source of the chaos I felt... Aha! In the library!' He flew inside and looked around for anything out of place. When he saw nothing he concentrated a bit more and found out it was coming from Twilight's room.

"Who."

Discord turned around and saw an owl staring at him. 'It's just an owl. Maybe it's Twilight's pet!'

"Who." The owl kept looking at him.

Discord raised an eyebrow and started moving around. The owl kept looking at him.

'Hmmm... If you can see me, say who thrice in a row, okay?'

"Who. Who. Who." Apparantly the owl was able to see him.

'Interresting. Maybe my chaos affected you too?' He shrugged. 'No matter. Let's see if I can find the source.' He flew into Twilight's room and immediatly saw Twilight standing in front of a mirror. Something about her looked different.

"Rarity is right. I really need to start eating less. I've gained a bit too much weight in my opinion." Now he saw it. She was rounder. He couldn't help but laugh at Twilight.

'The element of magic! Getting fat! Too rich!' He wiped an imaginary tear from his eye.

'Focus Discord. It looks like the source of chaos is coming from Twilight. From... within her? That I gotta see.' He shrunk to the size of a tea cup and flew into Twilight.

After a bit of searching (I'm not going into details.) he found a unicorn foal inside Twilight's womb. His eyes went wide in shock.

'... Okay, now I'm sure I've seen everything. This explains Twilight's gaining, but I never expected her to actually do it!' He was amazed and confused at the same time.

'Wait a sec. This little guy here is clearly a product of chaos, so that means... Oh hell no.' Discord went pale from realization and his eyes went wide.

'I am it's father. And Twilight is the mother. The worst thing is, this is the second time something like this happened. That reminds to visit Screwball when I have the time.' He flew to the foal to inspect it.

'Hmmm... He's grown rather big in only two months. He already has the form of a pony and he's already getting a bit of fur. If he keeps up this speed he'll be born in three months.'

'Who are you?' A foals voice said.

'Huh. I could have sworn I heard a voice.' He shrugged it off and continued inspecting his 'son'.

'You did. Who are you? You sound familiar.' The voice sounded curious.

'Are you by any chance this foal here?' He raised an eyebrow.

'I am. But who are you?'

'I am Discord. The spirit of chaos and disharmony.' He said proudly. But he slumped when he remebered that one annoying fact. 'And I'm... also your father.'

'My... father?' The foal sounded confused.

'Yep.' He suddenly perked up. 'And you're going to need a name. How about... Anarchy? Yes, that will do. You are allready ignoring the laws of physics so it suits you perfectly.' He grinned madly at the thought of Anarchy becoming another spirit of chaos

'Anarchy... Okay. So since I'm your son, can I control chaos too?' Anarchy asked.

'I'm sure you can. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to look around a bit. Maybe mess with a few ponies.' He said while grinning. He flew away and grew to his normal size.

'First things first, let's cause some chaos.' He laughed darkly, giving Twilight the chills.

"Why do I have this sudden feeling of dread?"

Anarchy... That's the name he gave me. I then knew why I was already concious. I was the product of chaos. It was pretty boring inside mommy. Not much to do except growing and waiting. I was sure I was slowly losing it. I decided to put myself to sleep and start waiting. Waiting for daddy to return...

He couldn't do much, but a little push in the right direction can create quite a bit of chaos. For example: he turned up the heat in the oven a bit and he made a cake explode in a ponies face, making her stumble into a cupboard and making all the plates fall and break.

'You ponies are so much fun!' He said to nopony in particular. After having messed enough with the pony he flew away, looking for something else to do. He saw a foal walk around and the memory immediatly popped up.

'Ugh! I really need something to occupy my mind! That memory is so annoying!' He snapped his fingers and he let the foal trip. He then saw his favorite element: laughter. 'This going to be fun.'

I'm what?!

I'm what?!

Author notes: The reason why I suddenly make the story jump forward in time is to skip a lot of predictable stuff and to continue the more interresting stuff.

One month after Discord's arrival in Ponyville.

"Twilight, I'm serious. You really should lose some weight." Rarity said with a disapproving tone.

"I know! I haven't eaten any treats and I'm also more out, but it doesn't work!" Twilight said, clearly frustrated.

"She's not lying. I even helped her." Spike said.

"That's strange. Maybe you should go to the doctor. It's a bit unladylike to gain weight that fast."

"You're right. Maybe I should."

"And none of your dresses will fit if you don't lose some weight!" Rarity added.

"I know, I know. Now what did you want to show me?"

"Oh! I almost forgot about that! Stay here I'll get it." Rarity got up and walked out of the room, returning with a really dark purple rock.

"A rock?" Twilight rised an eyebrow.

"This ones different from most of the rocks. You see, I haven't seen anything like this before and when I picked it up I felt something strange coming from it. I hoped maybe you'd know what it is."

"I'll see what I can do. One things for sure, this rock does emanate a weird aura. Come Spike, maybe there's a book with info about it."

"Okay!" Spike jumped onto Twilight's back.

'Who is mommy talking to? And why did he jump on mommy's back? It's so boring in here... I want to do something!' Anarchy suddenly kicked out of frustration, making Twilight gasp in surprise.

"Are you okay Twilight?" Spike asked.

"Y-yes, I'm fine." Twilight said confused. She shook it of thinking nothing of that little poke she felt and continued walking.

"Okay?" Spike said, raising an eyebrow.

"Let's drop this of at the library and then we'll visit the doctor."

Discord was floating around lazily when he saw Twilight. He would have just ignored if it wasn't for the rock she was carrying.

'What could that be? It looks familiar somehow.' He flew towards Twilight and touched the rock. Suddenly a shock went through him and he clutched his head when his started bonking. He looked at the rock and saw it started glowing. Twilight looked at it in confusion.

'What in the name of Celestia's beard!? A chaos ore! Those things are even rarer than alicorns or draconequuses! I don't know how she got it but this could go very wrong!' He followed her to the library and wited untill she left, which was almost right after she dropped the rock of.

'How in the world did she get this?! It's not even clear what it does! The only thing I know about it is that it strengthens chaos... Oh no.' His eyes went wide in realization. 'If it strengthens chaos it probably will speed up Anarchy's growth! I need to warn Twilight and... Wait, why do I care? Ugh! I'm gaining in sanity! But there's no time for grieving over my lost insanity.'

He quickly went after Twilight and saw her walk into the hospital.

Twilight was waiting untill the doctor had found out what was wrong. The doctor was a big colt as big as Big Mac and had a black coat. He had no mane or tail. His eyes were red and so was his horn. His cutie mark was a red plus with smaller green plus marks around it. He was new in Ponyville but he was already known for his perfect diagnosis and talent to heal practicly any illness or wound.

"And? Do you know why I'm gaining weight despite my efforts to lose weight?"

"Yes I do. But I don't know if you're going to like it."

"What do you mean? Is it some kind of illness?!" Twilight said with panick in her voice.

"Well, most ponies call it a blessing." The doctor said. He seemed to be holding back something.

"Blessing?" Twilight raised her eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"Well, you're pregnant."

...

...

...

...

"I'M WHAT?!" Twilight yelled. She seemed more shocked then angry.

"Um, I said-"

"I heard you! But how!? I haven't done it! I'm also too young!"

"Miss Sparkle, please-" The doctor tryed to stop Twilight's panic but was cut off by her rambling.

"I'm not ready to be mother yet! I-"

"MISS SPARKLE! Calm down! Please let me finish!"

"But-"

"No buts. The most concerning thing about your pregnancy is that your foal is growing too fast. If it keeps growing like this it'll be born in one month. Asside from that he and you are both healthy."

"One month?! How is that possible?!"

"Well, your foal is giving of a strange aura. I'm afraid he was affected by some kind of magic. He could also be created by magic."

"Magic? What kind of magic can do that?" Twilight had calmed down a bit but she was still nervous and jumpy.

"I don't know. If you don't want me to tell anypony about your foal, I understand. But it's smarter to tell them sooner out of own will than to be forced to explain it."

"Okay." She got up to leave but stopped before just before opening the door. "Hey Doctor?"

"Yes?"

"Thank you."

"No problem. And you can call me Black if you want to. All my friends call me that and I think you could use all the support you can get." He said while smiling friendly.

'So she found out. I have to wait for her to fall asleep and then I'll be able to explain a few things to her.' He took a look at the sun and saw that it was almost night.

'I better head to the library.'

"Good night Spike." Twilight said from out of her bed.

"Good night Twilight." Spike said from his basket.

'This has been a weird day. Maybe I'll be able to make more sense of it tomorrow.' She closed her eyes and fell asleep almost immediatly. What she didn't expect was to end up in a dream filled with chaos.

"What's going on?" She said. Behind her she heard somepony laugh. 'That voice...' She turned around and her lower jaw hit the floor. "... Discord?"

"That's me. Good old Discord."

"What are you doing in my mind? I'm pregnant so I need some time alone!" She felt her anger build up.

"I know. But that's why I'm here." He said, sounding rather serious.

"It's none of your bussiness."

"And that's where you're wrong my dear." She noticed something about him. He looked less chaotic. He even sounded more sane.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that your little foal is also my son."

"Wha?!" She yelled.

"You see, when the elements of harmony sealed me away, a part of my powers stayed behind. Apparently it created a foal inside you. A rather intelligent little guy I must say."

"So because your chaos made me pregnant, you are my foals his father?"

"Yep. I thought I already said that. Did you know Anarchy already has the intelligence of a ten year old?" Discord sounded proud.

"Anarchy?"

"You know, your foal. I named him Anarchy because it fits him. He already knows how to think, talk and plan. In other words he's already breaking the laws of physics. That's why I called him that. And I don't think he's going to listen to you if you call him anything else."

"Okay, so it fits him. But why are you telling me this?"

"When I lost a part of my powers I also lost a great deal of insanity. Don't worry, Anarchy is completely sane. Now I'm more sane I also regained some feellings I haven't felt in a long, long time." She knew he wasn't lying. The chaos around her wasn't as chaotic as he usually made it. In fact, everything seemed to be ordered more. Discord also looked... old.

"Okay. Do you know by chance  anything about the rock Rarity gave me?"

"In fact I do. It's called chaos ore. The only thing I know about it is that it strengthens chaos. I suggest you tell Celestia about it and you should also tell her about your pregnancy."

"No! I'm not telling anypony about it yet!"

"That's the worst decision you could make. What would your friends think if they found you were pregnant? You would be forced to tell them and ot would ruin your friendship for a big part. You should also tell Celestia about me. She'll probably understand your situation and will help you." He sounded tired.

"Are you okay Discord?"

"No, not really. I don't have a lot of power so this is draining me. I need to go now, or I'll go unconcious and I'll be stuck inside your mind forever." Everything around suddenly started fading away.

"Was this a dream?"

"Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. See you soon, Twilight Sparkle."

She opened her eyes and she saw she was in her room again. When she looked at her clock she saw it was only two am.

'Should I really follow his advice? Black told me I should tell my friends too.' She got up and walked over to her letter storage. She got herself a letter and a quill and started writing.

Dear princess Celestia...

You're what?!

You're what?!

When Spike woke up he saw Twilight was already out of bed. He yawned and walked down the stairs and expected her to be studying again. Instead he saw her read a book, but he wasn't surprised. Seeing Twilight read is a common sight.

"Good morning Twilight."

"Good morning Spike. Would you please sent this to the princess?" She levitated a letter over to him.

"Okay." He inhaled deeply and exhaled a green flame, turning the letter into smoke.

"Spike, will you tell the girls to come over here? I have some important news."

"What kind of news?"

"I'll tell you when the girls are here and I have everything ready. And go to the hospital and ask for somepony called doctor Black."

"Sure, I guess." He walked out to gather the girls. 'I wonder what's so important. Twilight has bin acting weird the last few days.'

'So she decided to tell them. Smart girl. But I'm not surprised. She does read a lot after all.'

"Discord, I know you're here. I marked a spot on the floor. Go stand on it and wait untill I tell you I'm done, okay?"

'Wonder what she came up with. Maybe give me another body? ... Boy, I sure miss being insane.'

He stood on the marked spot and noticed Twilight's horn lighting up. He raised his eyebrow in confusion. Suddenly a bright purple beam came out of Twilight's horn and hit him straight in the chest. A sudden pain went through his body and he fell over from the blast.

"Where the heck was that for?!" He yelled.

"Quiet! Other ponies might hear you!"

"Wait, you can see me? And hear me?"

"I can because I used a spell that is supposed to make ghost or other spirits visible. Since your body is still in Canterlot gardens you pretty much fit the description of a ghost. Or should I say poltergeist?"

"Aha, smart girl. But why?"

"So Celestia AND you can help explain things to my friends. Celestia should be here any min-" She was cut of by a bright white light appearing next to them. When the light dispersed an angry looking Celestia was clearly visible.

"Discord! What did you do to my student?!"

"Please princess! Keep it down. Only you and I know Discord is free and maybe it's better to keep it that way dor now!"

"But-"

"Celestia, please let her finish... Damn! I miss my insanity!"

"You see, princess, it all went like this..."

An explanation later.

"... And that's what happened." After Twilight had explained everything the princess had clearly calmed down.

"So that's why Discord is here."

"Yep, that pretty much sums it up. Now all we got to do is wait for Twilight's friends." Discord said lazily. In response they heard the front door open.

"Twilight! The girls are here!" She heard Spike say.

"Stay here Discord. I'll cal you when I need you, okay?"

"Sure. I'll just read for a bit." Discord flew over to a bookcase and picked the first book he could find. Twilight and the princess walked down and saw the others waiting. The girls eyes went wide but Black just sat there with a knowing look in his eyes.

"Princess! Twilight, why didn't you tell me the princess was coming?" Rarity said.

"It wasn't planned. But that's not important, you see... I... Ugh. I can't do this. Black, you tell them."

"Of course."

"Tell what? Why can't ya just tell us yerself?" Applejack asked.

"Because. Black, go ahead."

"She's pregnant."

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

"You're what?!" The girls and Spike yelled. Fluttershy just said: "Oh... My..."

"Why didn't you tell us?" Rainbow said.

"This asks for a 'congratulations with your foal' party!" Guess who.

"Yer too young!" Applejack yelled.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Spike said with a sad look on his face.

"I cannot believe this, darling." Rarity said dissaproving.

"You are supposed to be helping her, not making her feel bad." A familiar and mocking voice said.

"Discord! Don't worry girls I'll get him!" Rainbowvflew straight at and through him, hitting the wall face first.

"Ugh, I didn't need to see that you know." He said while shuddering.

"What do you mean?"

"Since I am in ghost form I can see your insides when my head goes through you."

"What are ya doing here?! Are ya going to apmake fun of Twilight?"

"Now why would I make fun of her when she's bearing my son?"

In response Pinkie's mane deflated, Rarity got even paler, Fluttershy huddled up in a ball, Applejack turned green and Rainbow mumbled something that sounded a lot like: "Think happy things. Think happy things."

...

...

...

...

...

"No, we didn't have sex or anything like that."

"Either way, it's still sick." Raibow said.

"But how did ya make her pregnant id you didn't do... it."

"He didn't make her pregnant. It went like this..." Celestia started explaining.

And another explanation later.

"And that's how Equestria was made." Discord finished.

"Okay so... Wait, what?" Rainbow said.

"Hey! You stole my line!" Pinkie said.

"So it was an accident. But why are ya helping?"

"Reason numero one: To protect my son. Reason dos: I also lost a big part of insanity when you sealed me away. Reason number three: I don't have a lot to do."

"Okay. But why are ya here doctor?"

"Because Twilight needs all the help she can get. And I'm sure you are all going to help her, right?" The way Black said convinced the girls they'd better help Twilight even if they didn't want to.

"She's our friend! No way I'm going to let her down!" Rainbow said.

"Good. Now if you'll excuse me, I still need to find my insanity. It's boring to be sane." Discord went invisible again and flew away.

"Twilight, when is the foal going to be born?" Rarity asked with a glint of exitement.

"In one month. Apparently Anarchy grows twice as fast as a normal foal."

"Anarchy? Why would ya call him that? It reminds me too much of Discord." Applejack said.

"I know, but Discord already told him his name. He won't listen to any other name. And he understands that because he has the inteligence of a ten year old."

"Now we've sorted this out I'll be leaving with the chaos ore." Celestia picked up the rock and dissapeared with a bright flash.

...

...

...

...

...

...

"Who wants cupcakes?"

Daddy!

Daddy!

Author notes: Sorry  for the time jumps, but I really want to start writing about Anarchy's aventures as a foal.

12 days after Discord left for his search for insanity.

"Ugh! I've looked everywhere! I looked in Canterlot, in the Badlands, Everfree Forest and everywhere else!" He said, throwing his arms in the air out of frustration. "Where in the world could it be!?" He was currently sitting in the old castle in Everfree forest, thinking about where his insanity could be, when he heard humming. The voice sounded familiar, ans so did the song.

"Tata tata tata tata tata tata tatatataaaaaa tata." He looked up and saw a small pink candy cotton cloud fly over. There were currently only two creatures who could create candy cotton clouds at will, and those were him and...

"Screwball?" He said.

"Hm?" The head of a purple filly with a proppeller beanie and swirly eyes popped up, looking confused but quickly having a smile on her face that could give Pinkie a run for her money. "Daddy!" She yelled and jumped at him. But instead of going through him she hugged him tight.

"I missed you daddy! When did you get out?"

"Three months ago or something. But I didn't actually get out. My body is still at Canterlot. And I've bin a bit busy lately."

"With what? You sound a bit serious." She raised an eyebrow.

"That's the point! I lost my insanity! I looked everywhere!"

"Everywhere?"

"Everywhere."

"Did you look in your statue?"

"What? That doesn't even... make..... sense." He facepalmed at being so stupid. 'Of course it doesn't make sense! And that's why it's still at my statue!' He looked at Screwball and saw that she was already on her cloud, waiting for him to come.

"Come on daddy! We need to find your insanity!" He grinned at her excitement.

'Such a sweet girl... Damn it!' He mentally gagged himself.

"Insanity, daddy's coming!" He yelled, flying towards Canterlot with Screwball next to him on her cotton candy cloud.

Fifteen sane minutes later.

"We're here!" Screwball said.

"But where's my statue?" The only part of his statue that was left was the pedestal.

"That's not good right?" Screwball asked nervously.

"Yup." He started thinking about where his statue could be. 'Option one: Celestia locked my statue away. Option two: Luna locked my statue away. Option three: Someone took my statue. Otion four : My satue teleported away out of itself. Option five : The insanity became concious and took over my body and now it's on a rampage. Option six: A spirit took over my body and is now on a rampage.'

"Uuuhh... Daddy?" Screwball's voice sounded a bit muffled.

"What is it... Buck me and call me Jonesy." In front of him was a chimera holding Screwball, who was obviously scared out of her mind, by her neck. And Discord knew exactly who it was. He was wearing ragged brown clothes. It had the head of a human with black hair, teeth of a shark, two curled horns of a ram, the eyes of a snake, the body of a human, his right arm was covered in green scalesa and had claws his left arm was made of crystals, his right leg was the leg of a lion and his left leg was made of metal. Oh yeah, he also had a tail and wings. His tail was covered in black scales, his left wing had brown feathers and his right wing was completely made out of flesh and blood was dripping off of it.  The most disturbing thing about him was his mad grin. His grin seemed to say: "Hello, I'm crazy and I'm going to kill you."

"Well well well. What a surprise. Little old Dissie. Do You miss your body? Sorry, but I'm borrowing it for a while. Thank you for fgiving me a body and life. Strange to get sucj a gift from the one who Killed me." He said, the venom dripping of the last words.

"Error, what are you doing here?"

"Me? Oh I just absorbed your insanity to come back among the living. I heard you are having a son soon, Am I right?" Error said, grinnig like a maniac,

"I'm getting a little brother? Ohboyohboyohboyohboyohboy!" Screwball said joyfully, totally forgetting about the danger she was currently in,

"So you're right. Big deal. Now give me my insanity back or I'm going to take it back myself!" Discord said, almost litterally glaring daggers at Error.

"Go ahead. Bu If you do so, I will take little Screwballs live." Error said, his grin becomming even wider.

"You wouldn't."

"Why not? You see, that's one of the differences between you and me. I have the heard to actually hurt others. You don't." Error's grin was currently as big as a bear trap (admit it, you're imagining a human with a grin that big.).

"Because I'm faster than you." Discord said, smiling gleefully.

"What's so funny?" Error's grin shrunk a bit.

"You're already dead." Discord said, pointing at Error's chest.

"What? That doesn't even make... sense." He looked at his chest and saw a swordfish stuck in it.

"Exactly. We thank you for delivering my insanity to me. Enjoy your trip to Limbo."

"Well played Discord, well played. But this isn't over yet." Error's body turned back into it's original state and within moments it looked like a statue of Discord again.

"Now that's done, shall we cause some chaos?" He said while placing the statue on the pedestal.

"Really? Really?! Do you even need to ask?!"

"Perfect. Last one in Cloudsdale is a daning buffalo!" He zoomed of with his normal grin on his face.

"Hey! No fair!"

"I'm the spirit of chaos! Hellooooohooo!" He said mockingly.

"And I have corron candy!" Screwball said while flying next to him.

"Touche."

And that's how Discord's search for his insanity ended and hipow he was reunited with his accidental daughter.

Author notes: Next chapter you're going to find out what Anarchy actually looks like! I'll give you a hint: He's a pony.

NOW it begins.

NOW it begins.

13 days after Discord found his insanity (yep, I skipped time again).

Black was helping Applejack at the farm. He didn't only prove he wasn't just as big as Big Mac, he also proved he was just as strong. He was currently carrying a basket with appels.

"Hey doc?" Applejack asked, sounding worried.

"Yes?"

"Are ya sure Twilight's gonna be alright?" She said, worry clearly on her face.

"I think so. I'm not going to give you any false hope though. The foal's growth is insane and he's using almost all the vitamins and nutrients in Twilight's body. I gave her another dose one hour ago, but she's literally being drained." He said with genuine concern.

"That's bad, right?" She was only more worried now.

"For the foal? No. For Twilight? Yes. But she should be due within four days."

"Tell me, why didn't ya lie?"

"Let me tell you about my life a few years back. I had a clean record. Everypony that I was supposed to help made it through. I became arrogant and a fool. I said I could help anypony and that I could cure every illness."

"And?"

"Thanks to my clean record others started believing it too. One day I got a pony with what they call 'The Green Hoof'."

"What?"

"It's a rare illness that only effects you when you're under twenty years old. It acts like a parasite and spreads like a virus. Once you're infected with it you only have fifteen days left to live if you're not cured."

"That sounds horrible."

"That's not even the worst part. Only in the last five days you get simptons. Itching eyes, dizzyness, headaches. On the last day you see the final simptons: you can see roots under the victims skin and behind the eyes. A bit before death plants start growing through the skin and out of the eyes and mouth. I told her she was going to make it, but I couldn't save her. I did everything I could but it wasn't enough." Tears were now in his eyes.

"Ahm... sorry ta hear that."

"And her family blamed me of her death. And you know what? They were right! I was too arrogant! I didn't even think like a real doctor should! That's when I decided to leave to somewhere else and to never give false hope again." He was now clearly crying.

"Well ah apreciate it when somepony tells me what's really going on."

"Thanks."

"And sumthing else: what happened to yer mane and tail."

"I'm sorry, but that's personal."

Meanwhile at the library.

Twilight was exhausted. Black had told it was because the foal was growing so fast and was using all the nutrients. He had also told her she should be due in four days. Spike had gone off to help Rarity to make some clothes for the foal.

'Why can't I concentrate on reading? Maybe I should take a relaxing shower to calm down and I don't think stress is good for me or my foal.' She slowly got up and walked towards the bathroom. She turned on the shower and laid down under the stream of water.

'That's better. Huh, it's kind of strange how easily I accepted pregnancy and just went with it. Maybe being a mother isn't so bad. I wonder what he'll be like.' She smiled a bit at the thougth.

'Hey, that's odd. The water is turning pink. Wait, that's blood!' She felt a pushing feeling inside her womb.

'No! I need help!' She tryed to get up but she couldn't move anymore.

"Hnnn! Hnn!" She started pushing and her breathing became heavy and uncontrolled. When she felt the pressure leave she started losing consciousness. Just before she lost consciousness completely she heard a foal cry.

"Waaahh! Waaahh!" Anarchy was confused, scared and amazed at the same time and did the obvious: cry. After a while he stopped crying and looked around. For the first time in months he could actually see.

'So this is outside! It's so bright! So colourfull! So... cold and wet.' He felt water pouring down on him. He also felt he was lying against something soft. He turned around and saw a purple unicorn lying next to him.

'Is that my mommy?' He crawled towards her head to get a good look of her.

'She's pretty!' He saw that she was asleep.

"Maba! Aga? Bwaaa!" He trieed to say: "Mommy! Huh? Aargh!" but he was to young to be able to actually talk.

'Not fair!' He looked around and saw another pony in the wall. He touched the wall and saw that it was actually his reflection. 'Hey! I'm a pony too!' He then heard rumbling come from his stomach.

'What was that? Oh wait, I'm hungry! How come I learn so fast?' His mind then started working again and he remembered (I'll explain that later) that female ponies give milk. He crawled over to his mommy and started drinking.

Meanwhile.

"Twilight! I need your opinion on these little suits I made for your foal!" Rarity entered the library, Spike following her while carrying the suits.

"Hey Twilight! We're back!" Spike said after hearing no response from Twilight.

"Twilight?" Rarity walked upstairs, being partly confused and party curious.

"Darling? Where are you?" When she walked past the bathroom she stopped, hearing the shower.

"Twilight, are you in there?" After getting no response she opened the door and walked inside. When she found Twilight her eyes went wide from shock and then excitement.

"Oh! I need to get the girls!" She ran out the bathroom passing Spike.

"What was that about?" He walked in the bathroom to see Twilight sleeping under the shower with her foal snuggled up to her.

I'm not cute!

I'm not cute!

When Twilight opened her eyes she noticed she was now in her bedroom. She looked felt something lie against her and she picked it up. It was her foal. He was a dark blue with a black mane and tail. His left eye was a emerald green and his left eye a ruby red. He also had a white stripe in his mane behind his ears, just like Dicord.

"Mommy! Huh? Aaagh!" He tryed to say somethin but instead of words it was the usual gibberish foals babbled.

"Aren't you cute?" She said, nuzzling him.

"I'm not cute!" He said angrily.

"Twilight? Are you awake?" Rarity's voice came from outside the room.

"You can come in Rarity." Rarity opened the door and walked in with a big smile on her face.

"It's good to see that you're okay. Black told us you were fine but I wanted to see it myself. Isn't he adorable?"

"I'm not!"

"I don't think likes being cute or anything else like that." Twilight said, smiling at her foals behavior.

"Have you decide what to call him?"

"Well actually Discord already named him Anarchy."

"Yup!" Anarchy said proudly.

"He did? Can't you just name him something else?"

"What?! No!" Anarchy said, afraid of what he might be called.

"Dicord told me he's already as smart as a ten year old. I don't think he's going to listen to any other name."

"No matter. Come, the girls are waiting!"

"Who?" Anarchy asked as Twilight slowly got up and walked out the room.

"Isn't he just the cutest thing you've ever seen?! I mean he's just soooo cute!" Pinkie said, popping up in front of Twilight.

"Stop saying I'm cute!" Anachy yelled, franticly waving his front legs around.

"Aaawww! Do you want to play? Don't worry! We're gonna have lots of fun tommorow!" Pinkie said, bouncingin place with excitement.

"Why are his eyes not matching?" Rainbow said.

"Well that's easily explained!" A familiar voice said.

"Discord!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"What do you mean easily?" Twilight said, expecting some horrible explanation.

"Ah, you see little Anarchy here is created from chaos and harmony. His green eye resembles chaos and his red eye resembles harmony. He also has two kinds of magic: Pure dark and pure white magic. I think you all understand that dark belongs to chaos and white to harmony."

"So he has the average amount ofmagic but it's just devided in two kinds of magic?"

"Nope! He has more than twice the amount of magic as an unicorn. You can thank Twily and moi for that." He said, popping up next to Rainbow.

"Cool!"

"And how did your search for insanity go?" Black asked.

"Excellent!" Discord said, making a loop. "I even found Screwball!"

"Who?" Rainbow said, rising an eyebrow.

"Me!" Screwball's face appeared upside down in Rainbows face.

"Gah!" Rainbow shrieked, losing balance and smashing into the floor. Everypony looked up and saw Screwball sitting on a cloud of cotton candy.

"Hey! I know you! You're that funny pony when Dicord broke free!" Pinkie said.

"Yup!" Screwball said, floating towards Anarchy.

"Hey! Can I have that hat?"

"No! It's my hat! But I think I can get you another one!" Screwball said, now holding Anarchy in front of her.

"Give me my son back!" Twilight said, partly angry and partly confused.

"Wait you can understand what he's saying?" Black said.

"No! I want to play with my little brother!" Screwball said.

"Of course we can! You mean you can't?" Discord said. Everypony except Screwball, who was being chased by Twilight trying to get Anarchy back.

"Hmmm... Meh, let's say it's because of chaos. Now Screwball, can I have my son?" He said, holding his lion paw out.

"Okay!" Screwball said, handing (or hoofing?) Anarchy over.

"*pant* Not *pant* fair." Twilight said, now being even more exhausted.

"Hmmm... Okay here you go." Discord placed Anarchy on Twilights back and flew away.

"Where are you going?" Screwball asked.

"What do you think? I'm supposed to be spreading chaos, the amount doesn't matter, right now and I'm already late!" He conjured up a top hat and a pocket watch and flew away while saying: "I'm late, I'm late!"

"Well he deffinetly got his insanity back." Rainbow deadpanned.

"...Isn't he cute?" Screwball said while nuzzling Anarchy.

"I... give up. I don't even care anymore." He said, looking highly bemused.

"Who are you anyway?" Rainbow asked.

"Who, me?" Screwball replied, being completely oblivious to Anarchy's discomfort.

"No, the other pony on a cotton candy cloud. Of course I meant you!"

"I'm Scewball! I'm Daddy's daughter!" Screwball said.

"Who's daddy?" Twilight said, although she already knew the answer.

"Daddy Discord!" Screwball said.

"What a surprise."

...

...

...

...

...

"You know, these long silences are really annoying." Anarchy said, breaking the silence although only Screwball understood him.

"So you're saying... that you are Anarchy's sister?" Rainbow said.

"How did you figure that out? Hellooohoo, I'm a foal and I figured that out the moment she came in!" Anarchy said, his words dripping with sarcasm.

"Hey! That's not very nice!" Screwball said.

"It's still weird you are the only one who understands what he says." Twilight said.

"Can I stay here?" Screwball said.

"What?! No!" Twilight said, not wanting cotton candy in her books.

"I'll be good!" Screwball begged.

"No!"

"Please!"

"No!"

"Puh-lease!" Screwball started doing the puppy eyes.

"No."

"Your ignorance amuses me, please continue."

"Pretty please! With lot's of sugar!"

"Ugh... Fine. But if I find any cotton candy in my books, you're out."

"YAY!"

"I hoped they would argue longer!" And all the time Black had barely said anything and had a spaced out look on his face.

"Black, are you okay?" Rarity asked.

"Huh? Oh! Don't worry I'm fine. I was just thinking."
