MLP: Agents of Harmony Season 1

At Fluttershy's Cottage, she and her best friend were having their usual Tuesday Tea Party. They've been friends since the day he was freed. And he had proven himself more friendly, gentle and kinder than before.

"Ohoho, but that's not all!" Discord joked, "When I went to look for them again, they were on the ceiling!"

Fluttershy laughed happily, "Oh, Discord, I've never known anypony as funny as you!"

Discord smiled in please and relief to have a good compliment from someone he trusted and loved with. Fluttershy took a sip of her tea.

"I love that story about the time you tried to train your right paw..." She giggled happily, "...to fetch your left leg!"

Discord smiled again to hear what Fluttershy had said. No one and not even Terrorcreep can ruin his special day. Just him and Fluttershy only. So peacefully...

Fluttershy giggled, "Oh, I do love our Tuesday teas, and I can't wait for you to meet my friend Tree Hugger. She's going to love you and others too."

"Tree Hugger?" Discord laughed in amusement about it.

Fluttershy nodded, "I met her on a trip to see the Breezies. She's a member of the Equestrian Society for the Preservation of Rare Creatures."

Discord grunted angrily, "How nice for you."

'Great... Just what I needed - another competition to deal with. As if others aren't enough...' Discord thought angrily as he took a bite on teacup?

Fluttershy remarked happily, "We're all gonna have so much fun together at the Grand Galloping Gala!"

Discord gasped as he realized something important, "Oh, I was wondering when you were going to ask me. I'd love to. Well, since Terrorcreep won't be joining with us for the Gala."

Fluttershy gasped, "Oh. Oh, no. Um, I'm afraid I've already asked Tree Hugger since Terrorcreep didn't have the time."

Discord then gave her a sour yet angered look. Was she serious?! She chose Tree Hugger over him. She chose someone else over him again?!

"I'm sorry, Discord. I assumed you'd have your own ticket since you and Princess Celestia are friends now." Fluttershy said in concern as she saw Discord stood up from his chair. He then headed to the entrance as he magically summoned his purple coat. She asked in concern, "Were you not invited?"

Discord turned to Fluttershy, "Who, me? It probably got lost in the mail. No biggie, as the foals say." He snarled a bit, "Well, gotta go!"

Fluttershy held the tray of teacakes, "But we haven't had any of our Tuesday teacakes."

"Well, I guess we're just going to have to exclude them from our party this time." Discord muttered as he took the tray. He poured the teacakes on his suit angrily. He gasped, "Oh, did I say that out loud? I mean, ta-ta."

Discord magically summoned his hat as he put it on his head before magically disappeared. Fluttershy looked concern and worry as she never seen Discord looked upset and angry before.

But unknown to both of them, there was a periscope on Fluttershy's little teacup. Someone was watching the event. On the outside of her cottage, the mysterious figure watched the event from the distance.

"Just as I expected..." He said mysteriously and concerned.

At the Friendship Rainbow Kingdom's Spike Room, Spike was playing a deck of cards with his dragon friends. They were gambling for some rotten and bad bugs? That's disgusting and disturbing...

The dragons held their five cards for the moment as they waited for the chance to strike. Spike smirked as he gave Straight Cards (Diamond 2, Forest 3, Forest 4, Spade 5 & Diamond 6) down. Jeff scoffed as he place Flush Cards (Diamond 3, 5, 7, 10 & J) down. Duke exclaimed wildly as he placed his Full House down (Diamond, Forest and Heart Kings & Forest and Heart 10) Root smiled as he gave the Royal Flush Cards (Full Spade 10, J, Q, K & A). The trio dragons groaned angrily. Grunt won the game again?!

"Aw man! How does he do that?!" Spike demanded in shock.

Duke shrugged, "You'd tell me. I'd never know how he do it."

Jeff sighed, "To think that Grunt only said a few words can win the game so easily..."

Root smiled as he gathered all of the bugs together at once. He held the bugs up as he ate them all at once. He chewed happily. He smiled happily before giving a loud burp.

Bishop entered Spike's bedroom as he wanted to check on the dragons if they were ready or not for the Grand Galloping Gala. Instead, he found them playing the deck of cards with each other.

"Unbelievable... All of you were not ready?!" Bishop demanded in annoyance, "Gambling is forbidden within the castle! And shouldn't you be ready for the gala?"

"Relax, Metalhead! It's not even tonight," Spike commented happily, "Don't worry. We'll get dressed before you know it."

Duke groaned in annoyance, "Remind me why we have to go to Grand Gallo-whatever-it-is! I rather play the poker than going to some boring ballroom."

Rob huffed, "I wouldn't call it boring, Boomer. I heard that Grand Galloping Gala is the gathering of all the ponies for their reunion and chatting. I would like to introduce my latest and best invention to some scientists."

Spike chuckled in amusement, "Yeah... sure."

Grunt shrugged, "I am Root..."

Before Spike could eat the beetle, it transformed into a familiar character. Everyone yelped in shock and frightened. And he wasn't very please for some reason...

"Where's Twilight?" Discord demanded in anger.

Spike gulped, "Uh, she and Twinkle were in Canterlot, helping Princess Celestia with the Gala!"

Discord groaned in anger as he disappeared magically. Everyone remained in shock and concern of what had happened. They have never seen how angry Discord is. What made him so angry?

Unknown to anyone, a mechanical bug had the spy camera in recording or spying on the event.

At Rarity's Carousal Boutique, Rarity was preparing the dresses for Cutie Mark Crusaders to dress. Applejack and Rainbow Dash were playing the cards. Declan was there to assist her in preparing the dresses.

"Oh, your first Grand Galloping Gala!" Rarity said happily as she made a greenish bow, "The excitement, the anticipation! I wouldn't miss this for all the jewels in Equestria!"

Rarity placed it on Sweetie Belle's back dress. Sweetie Belle dressed in cyan and white dress with blue bloomed flower pin on her mane while Scootaloo dressed in her purple dress with a dragonfly pin on her mane. They both were excited and happy as they finally get to go to the Gala.

Both Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo sang happily, "We're going to the Gala! We're going to the Gala! We're going to the Gala!"

Declan shook his head a bit, "They were all excited, aren't they?"

"They sure do. These little fillies got upset that we didn't invite them for the party," Rarity said happily.

Applejack shook her head a bit as she placed the cards back, "Alright, y'all, keep it down. It ain't like it's a life-changin' experience or nothiiiiing..." She was interrupted as she turned and found Apple Bloom dressed in her red and peach dress with a flower pin on her mane. She was in shock and surprise as she slowly had some tears coming out. She sniffed happily, "My little sister's all grown up!"

Applejack sniffed a bit as she took Rainbow Dash's tail. She blew her muzzle on the latters. Rainbow Dash groaned in annoyance as she took her tailback at once.

"Never see how sensitive and lovable sister Applejack is. She must have loved Apple Bloom so much like a mother," Declan said in surprise.

Rarity shook her head a bit while smiling, "Even she's an older sister, she acted like a mother to Apple Bloom. They formed a special bond."

Apple Bloom approached her friends as they all looked at the mirror for the moment before they giggled happily about how excited and happy they were for the Grand Galloping Gala.

Cutie Mark Crusaders giggled happily, "This is gonna be the best night ever!"

Before any of them could do, the mirror suddenly turned into a one big eye?! Cutie Mark Crusaders screamed in fear as they quickly jumped off the stage. The eye disappeared as it transformed into Discord. Three Cutie Mark Crusaders hidden behind of their sister's back from letting strange go near to them.

Discord approached to Applejack and Apple Bloom as he asked calmly, "I don't suppose that, uh, these adorable little cutie pies have their own tickets to the Gross Gruesome Gala, do they?"

Discord gave Apple Bloom a ticklish paw on her chin. Applejack didn't approve it, and so did Apple Bloom as the younger one gave Discord a slap. She then blew raspberry at him. Applejack smiled in approval. Discord groaned angrily.

Rarity cleared her throat, "Ahem! To answer your rather rude question, they're going as our dates, our plus-ones.

"We're plus-ones!" Cutie Mark Crusaders exclaimed and sang happily, "We're plus ones! We're plus-ones!"

Discord groaned in annoyance as he quickly put both his antler's and deer's horns into his ear. He exclaimed in annoyance, "Yes, yes, yes, I believe I got that!"

Discord magically disappeared from everyone's sight. They all wondered what and why Discord asked of that. Something had happened to him...

Unknown to anyone again, a mechanical bug had the spy camera in recording or spying on the event.

At the Sugarcube Corner, Pinkie Pie made another sale of her cupcake to her customer.

"Have a wonderful, special, fantastic day!" Pinkie greeted and thanked happily. As she turned and headed off to her counter, she passed the mysterious black box. She spoke happily, "Oh, hi, Discord. Want some cake?"

The box bounced in shock. It opened and revealed the surprisingly Discord. How does she do that?!

Pinkie Pie bounced happily in front of her friend, "I can give you a list of all the flavors we have in order of most delicious to incredibly, unbelievably delicious!"

"Actually, Pinkie Pie, who are you talking to... I mean, do you... enough," Discord asked nervously yet concerned. He groaned as he gave up, "Oh, you know what? I am famished. I'll take all the cakes."

"All of them?!" Pinkie asked in shock and surprise. She turned to the front as she screamed happily, "He wants all of the cakes!"

As Pinkie Pie happily prepared and packed various sweet and delicious cakes, Discord chatted happily with her yet calmly...

Discord sighed, "Well, I'll need all my energy when I'm dancing at the Gala if I decide to go that is. Oh, by the way, are you bringing anypony?"

Pinkie smiled happily, "Oh, of course! I was gonna ask my mom, because she's, you know, my mom, but it turned out she didn't want to go, so I started asking around and around and around..."

As Pinkie was busy in preparing the cakes packages and busy talking with her friend, Discord turned to the entrance. He gasped in shock and realization. He spotted Fluttershy was hanging out with the greenish Earth Pony with braided pink mane and tail and her Cutie Mark was red heart-shaped tree with yellowish headscarf with flower patterns.

Discord groaned in anger. So, that must be Tree Hugger?!

Pinkie Pie continued, "and I couldn't think of anypony, and I was about to just go by myself, and I realized, of course! Who loves fancy exciting affairs more than anypony else? My sister Maud!"

Discord groaned, "You know what? Cancel my order."

Discord magically teleported while leaving Pinkie Pie dumbfounded and shocked about it. The lobby was filled with cakes-packed packages!

"You want none of the cakes now?!"

As Fluttershy and Tree Hugger were laughing happily together as they were joking, Discord's neck stretched and glared at them both.

"I guess every being in Equestria is funny today." Discord remarked angrily.

Discord slithered in midair to the front as he remained quiet.

Fluttershy gasped, "Oh, how rude of me. Tree Hugger, this is Discord. Discord, Tree Hugger."

"Radical to meet you. Really digging your vibe," Tree Hugger commented in a hippie tone.

"My vibe?" Discord demanded angrily as he turned and glared at Tree Hugger.

Fluttershy assured Discord, "It's a compliment."

"Oh, well, I'm sure it is. Well, I must be off." Discord talked off as he disappeared from his friends' sights. He magically reappeared behind of them. He spoke angrily, "It has nothing to do with seeing you or not seeing you. You can rest assured of that. Hahaha... Have fun at the Gala!"

Discord groaned angrily as he magically disappeared again.

Tree Hugger smiled, "Righteous! And by the way, is your boyfriend coming? I want to meet this Vampire Pony. That is so rare in these days, you know?"

Fluttershy sighed, "I don't know when. He's been busy lately. After all, he is the advisor and general to the Earth Intelligence Force and especially to both Baron Blade and Sir Lancelot.

In the unknown realm which was filled with various and strange places and creatures, there was a small house on the floating island. Within the house, the door was opened. Discord magically reappeared as he looked very angry and upset.

"Oh, Tree Hugger. You're such a great friend. So much funnier than unfunny old Discord!" Discord imitating Fluttershy's voice for the moment.

He magically slammed the door very hard. The jar fell to the ground in breaking to pieces. He sighed in annoyance as he magically dressed in his maid's suit. As Discord continued cleaning or making some messes at his own house - making some fluffy and dusty bunnies underneath the furniture, wetting and soaping on the windows and magically dirty the plates; he muttered angrily about Fluttershy's choosing new ones over him.

"No, no, here. Take my plus-one. I insist. Before somepony else thinks he's my friend and expects to be asked instead. What's that? You're worried Discord might be upset?" Discord groaned angrily, "The nerve of her! First Terrorcreep as her perfect boyfriend, then Boomer as her guest and a friend, and now Tree Hugger as her best friend?! Not a problem! I can make more new friends anytime I want. It's not as if any of this actually mattered! I don't even want to go to the Gala anyway!"

Suddenly, a screaming noise sounded. Discord undressed his maid's suit as he exited the house. He found the floating Parcel Post pony screaming and yelping in fear as he struggled in getting used to the unknown realm's atmosphere.

Discord grabbed the Parcel Post pony at once. He looked at him while smiling happily yet hopefully.

Parcel Post gulped as he held the envelop up, "Are you 'Discord or current resident'? I can't find any street numbers in this place."

Discord magically levitated the envelop up. He magically tear up and levitate a golden rectangle ticket up.

"My ticket to the Grand Galloping Gala! I was invited after all!" Discord exclaimed happily. He paused as he turned and glared at Parcel Post pony. He grimly asked, "Why is this so late?"

Parcel Post Pony gulped in fear, "Well, I got a little lost after I escaped the flying badgers... Can you point me in the direction of the bottomless pit? I think I can make my way back from there."

"I'll save your troubles now," Discord said in annoyance as he gave a snap from his eagle's claw. Parcel Post Pony disappeared from the Draconequus. He turned and looked at his ticket. He smirked darkly, "Looks like I'll see you at the Gala after all, Fluttershy. But I can't show up alone. She'll think that she's my only friend. Who could I bring on such short notice?"

Discord gasped in shock and surprise as he knew someone he can asked for help. He chuckled sly-fully and happily. Unknown to him, a Joker Card was left on the ground as it had a submarine periscope in spying on him. Who is spying on Discord and Fluttershy?! Why?!

"This is going to be fun! He's gonna get it for dumping his own partner now!" The voice exclaimed happily.

At the Canterlot Castle's Hall Lobby; noble and rich ponies from far and wide were invited and come to Grand Galloping Gala, including some of the Human Ponies to join in as well. Princess Celestia dressed in her crimson dress with sun patterns was standing on the top of the first staircase level, along with Twilight dressed in her cyan dress with orange ribbon and her mane tied up in the round, and Twinkle dressed in her purple dress with small lavender ribbon and sparkling star on her mane ponytail mane.

Princess Celestia smiled, "I must say, it's been very nice having you take over some of the planning responsibilities for this year's Gala."

"Anything I can do to make it easier on you," Twilight said calmly.

"Thank you, Twilight. I am quite looking forward to just enjoying the Gala for once." Princess Celestia thanked happily.

"Are you looking forward to see him here? You remind me of how nervous and scared Iris is when she and him had the first dance at Grand Galloping Gala. That was adorable and cute."

Twilight giggled, "Yeah, I am. I can't wait to see him."

Suddenly, the fanfare sounded. Everyone turned to the front entrance. Who was it now?

"Announcing the spirit of chaos, Discord, and his guest, the, uh..." Announcer announced firmly but stopped as he doesn't know the name of creature. Discord whispered to the Announcer's ear. Announcer sighed, "The Smooze!"

Everyone turned to the front as they found Discord dressed in his orange suit and top hat and the greenish slimy ooze-like creature dressed in his blue top hat and red bow-tie marched into hall. Everyone gasped in shock and concern. Everyone is aware that the Oozes are very rare and mysterious yet dangerous creatures as they possessed unknown magic and abilities. Everyone can't be certain if the Ooze are safe to communicate with.

"Good evening, everypony! What a glorious affair!" Discord said happily. The Smooze turned to the second announcer. It took the golden shiny fanfare honk into its mouth. He smiled as he gave it a hug, "He does have a yen for shiny things, the rascal."

As Discord departed, he found his paw was covered by slim. He turned and dry it off on the announcer's white scarf.

Twilight sighed, "I'll take care of this."

"What are you doing here with..." Twilight demanded in concern while pointed at the Smooze, "that?!"

Discord smiled as he waved it off, "Now, now, now. The Smooze may be an "it", but it's it with a heart of, well, blob."

Twilight turned and glared at Discord, "This night is extremely important to me, Discord." She smiled uneasily to her former mentor. She gritted her teeth before glaring at him, "Keep it under control!"

Discord grunted a bit, "Yes, yes, yes, of course. Tell me, have you seen Fluttershy anywhere?

"Well... She's with Tree Hugger at the Dining Hall," Twilight answered calmly. Discord headed off at once. She cleared her throat, "Aren't you forgetting something?"

Discord groaned as he turned and dragged the Smooze out at once. They both headed straight to the Dining Hall in finding Fluttershy. Both Twilight Sparkle and Twinkle sighed in relief. They both turned as they found Ash and his family had arrived. Twinkle headed off at once as she gave Ash a nuzzle on his legs.

Twilight Sparkle approached her love at once. She nuzzled his neck for a while, "You've made it." She departed and looked at Ash's dress. She awed in amazement, "Wow... I didn't know that you wear the Canterlot's Suit."

He smiled, "What can I say? I'm full of surprises. So, is everything alright?"

"Yes... But I'm more worried about Discord and the Smooze now. I wonder what is he doing here."

"Trying to get Fluttershy's attention, no doubt."

"How did you know about this?"

"Shadowclaw told me about Discord. He's been off and jealous on some certain ponies since both of them became the couple."

"I take it that would be Shadowclaw, Duke and Tree Hugger?" Twilight sighed in annoyance, "I just hope that he's not doing something stupid."

"Don't worry. Everything will be fine. Come on, let's enjoy the party."

A black-coated figure entered the hall as he found Discord and the Smooze entered the dining chamber. He followed them. Unknown to him, he was followed by the happy clown who acted like he was having fun. Something's not right...

Both Discord and the Smooze entered the hall. Discord looked around in search of Fluttershy. But blocked by the mysterious happy clown as Discord was looking around.

"Hey there! Nice to meet you. Can I have the chat with you?" The mysterious clown asked happily, "And by the way, the name is P.J. the Clown Boy! Would you like to hear my jokes? Mine have always been the best and greatest of all!"

Discord groaned as he was focusing on finding Fluttershy, "Yeah... Sure. Maybe later."

"What's the matter? Got a girl problem with you? She must be important to you."

"Yeah, she is. She's my best friend. I've gotta find her first."

"Tell me - are you in love with her?"

"What?! No! She and I are just friends. She already got her own boyfriend who is pony and better than me, no doubt."

"So, you're not jealous of him? He stole your girl! You deserve it! No one claimed your prize!"

Discord stopped as he glared at the clown, "What do you mean my 'prize'?! I don't treat her a thing, I treated her a pony, genius! I don't like what you had said."

"Sorry. I was just helping. If she really had a boyfriend, then where is he?" P.J. asked curiously, "Boy... For a guy, he doesn't know how to make her happy like you did."

"Come to think of it. You're right. How dare he ran off?! And he dare called himself Fluttershy's boyfriend! Where is he now? Gone! But I'm here! Thanks anyway!"

"No problem. But one advise - proved her that you're the best for her."

Discord smirked, "Thanks."

Discord then headed off while bringing The Smooze with him. P.J. clapped his hooves as he smirked darkly and evilly. What was he's planning?

Discord then stopped as he spotted her sitting together with Tree Hugger. Both of them were chatting with each other happily. Fluttershy was dressed in her greenish and bluish peacock's dress with a head's feather on her mane while Tree Hugger's dress was plain light lavender dress.

Fluttershy giggled in amazement, "Really?"

Tree Hugger nodded, "The aura coming off the waterfall was so alive! So, like, magic manifestation."

"Wow..." Fluttershy said in amazement, "How did you even know to look for an aura on a waterfall?"

Both Discord and The Smooze approached Fluttershy from her back. The Draconequus cleared his throat in getting her attention.

Fluttershy turned and gasped in surprise, "Discord! I thought you weren't coming!"

"No. I actually never said that. But funny how you remembered it that way." Discord remarked sarcastically. He then approached to Tree Hugger, "Anyway, good to see you. Tree Friend, is it? Your name is slipping my mind right now. How strange."

Tree Hugger smiled happily, "Nice to meet you. I'm Tree Hugger. Blessings."

"You have met me before actually!"

"Cool! Like, in another life, maybe?"

Discord gasped in shock, "You've gotta be kidding. You don't remember me?"

Tree Hugger laughed happily, "I meet a lot of different creatures, each one of them perfect and unique."

Discord huffed as he grew closed near to Fluttershy, "Yes, well, as I was saying, it's just great to be here with my oldest, bestest friend."

"Am I really your oldest, bestest friend?" Flutetrshy asked delightfully.

Discord laugehd happily, "Of course not! You think I don't have other friends? I'm centuries old! I was talking about the Smooze!" He dragged the Smooze to the front at once, "Smooze Face, the Smoozinator – well, I mean that's what we called him back in college. Smooze! I would like you to meet Fluttershy and, um, hmm... Tree... how'd you say it... Tree Embrace?"

"Oh, I like that! It's so in rhythm with my life force!" Tree Hugger commented. She gasped and laughed happily, "Maybe I'll change it!"

Smooze licked his mouth as his tentacle was reaching Tree Hugger's necklace. Extremely annoyed and angered by Tree Hugger's innocent comments, Discord gave Smooze a hard slap.

Fluttershy giggled in amusement as she patted the Smooze, "I can't believe I've never heard you speak of the Smooze before. Sounds like you two are so close."

"Well, I'm glad you got that, because that's what is true. We are." Discord smiled proudly as he hugged the Smooze very tight and passionately. He chuckled in amusement, "Very close."

"That's wonderful! The four of us should go out to dinner sometime!" Fluttershy suggested happily.

Heard Fluttershy's suggestion made Discord squeezed too hard and tight in splitting Smooze in two. But as an Ooze, he won't died easily as he regenerated happily back to himself.

Discord demanded angrily, "We should all go out to dinner sometime?! Have you no heart?"

Couple of ponies screamed in fear and concern. Discord turned as he found the Smooze slithering happily approaching them as he wanted some shinning items to eat.

"Oh, oh! It looks like somepony wants to mingle. We'll be back in a bit." Discord smiled happily.

Fluttershy nodded in understanding, "Oh, okay. Treezie and I would love to talk to you more later!"

"Treezie? Really? Sort of a juvenile nickname, don't you think?" Discord asked in annoyance. Ponies screamed while some glasses smashed as The Smooze continued chased after their diamonds and crystals. He called happily, "Smoozie! Wait up!"

Discord immediately headed off at once. Both Fluttershy and Tree Hugger laughed in amusement and happily about it. The black coated pony approached her as he carried a tray of orange cider and salad. He left it down on table. Fluttershy and Tree Hugger turned and found the mysterious figure standing before them.

"Oh... I didn't know you have another friend joining with us," Tree Hugger said in surprise.

"I didn't..." Fluttershy said in concern. She looked at the mysterious figure, "Who are you? Do I know you from somewhere?"

The mysterious figure removed his hat and sunglasses as he looked straight at Fluttershy.

Fluttershy gasped, "You?"

As everyone was enjoying their party, Discord pushed and dragged Smooze away from the party. They approached to the back door. The mysterious clown approached to Discord as he was juggling the balls in front of Discord while smiling oddly.

So, how it goes?" P.J. asked curiously. Discord muttered angrily. He shrugged, "Oh... Someone's mad again. It looks like that making Fluttershy jealous on doesn't work well."

Discord groaned, "Shut up! I need to do something! I need to win her!"

"Why pretend to get along? Once you and your enemy get closed enough, you and her will move to safe distance. And that's where you will teach her a lesson for messing with the wrong friend!"

Discord hummed before smirked in please, "That could work. Thank you, Mr Clown."

"Please, call me P.J." P.J. insisted. Discord headed off at once while moving the Smooze away. He smirked darkly, "Enjoy it while it lasts, old buddy. This is going to be the best payback ever..."

"Now, listen, Smooze. I need to make this a party of one for a little while." Discord explained firmly as he pushed it outside. He slammed the door hard in locking the locks, "Just stay out here until I come for you."

The party was in full until Discord bring his chaotic antics, as

Everyone was about to attack but stopped by the Mysterious Figure.

Fluttershy continued, "I don't understand why you're doing this! We were all getting along so well!"

Discord huffed, "As well as we could, considering you've already stomped all over our friendship by inviting her to the biggest night of the year as if I didn't matter at all! And that's not the worst of it, you are forgiven Duke for what he had done to you even when he ate some bugs?! There's one thing I can't stand the most - you chose Shadowclaw as your boyfriend! I hated it! I hated him for taking you as his girlfriend! It's not fair! It's not fair! And now, I'm all alone!"

"Did you really think I'd abandon you just because I have some new friends?!

"Yes, because that's what you did!"

"No, Discord!" Fluttershy exclaimed, "I invited Tree Hugger to a party because she's my friend! I forgave Duke about it because he's a dragon and different from us! And I love Shadowclaw because he's special to me! I didn't abandon you! What if you had a friend that you could discuss chaos-based magic? Would that mean we weren't friends anymore?!"

"Uh..." Discord was stunned as he spoke nervously and confused, "No, I suppose not. It would just mean that I'd have different friends for different things..." He gasped in realization, "Oh, oh, dear, it looks like I've perhaps overreacted just a skosh."

"More like a lot of skoshes!"

"I'm just so new at this whole friendship thing. It's so much more complicated than it looks."

"Do you think maybe you owe somepony an apology?" Fluttershy demanded. Discord gave her a flower. She slapped his paws hard, "Not me!"

"Oh! Oh." Discord gasped in realization, "Yes, right."

Discord approached The Smooze as he removed all of the shining items it ate out from its stomach. He snapped his finger in making them disappeared.

"Er, Tree Hugger," Discord apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry that you got caught in the middle of my... er, you know... wrath."

"Oh, it's all groovy." Tree Hugger forgave. Discord hugged Tree Hugger passionately and happily. She was still in scared and worried mood, "Um, I need like a few minutes to clear out my chakras before I can hug you from a place of authenticity."

"Oh, your chakras." Discord laughed nervously as he nodded his head in understanding, "Fair enough."

Everyone sighed in relief and happy that everything finally is okay and fine at the end. P.J. looked unhappy and anger while gritted his teeth of how the event.

Fluttershy approached Discord, "Don't you think it's better that you tell me about how you felt? I would have help you."

"Yeah... I guess it's quite silly and stupid," Discord admitted sheepishly, "I guess I took the advice from the wrong clown."

"A clown? Why would there be a clown here?" Twilight Sparkle said in confusion. Everyone looked at her. She continued, "I didn't invite a clown here. Grand Galloping Gala is more like civilized and noble party, not a wild party."

Discord twitched in fear while gulped, "You're not actually a real clown aren't you, P.J.?"

P.J. chuckled and laughed evilly as he held a Gem Blaster up in aiming at Discord. He smirked darkly, "Oh... Discord, always try to be funny. And that is why you're the second-best. And for me, I'm the best!"

"P.J.?" Discord gasped, "Oh no... Psychopath Joke..."

P.J. or Psychopath Joke chuckled evilly and darkly as he took the disguise off. He was revealed to be white make-up clown with a greenish messy mane and short tail. He has a Glasgow Smile. He was dressed in his greenish vest, blue shirt with a tie. And his Cutie Mark is scarred smile symbol, with a knife and bombs.

Everyone gasped in shock and concern as they witnessed the true face of the clown. Discord and the Smooze trembled in fear upon looking at him.

"Good evening, mares and morons," Psychopath Joke greeted calmly yet giving his scared smiley to them. They were scared and feared him due to his appearance. He continued while approaching around them, "Tonight's entertainment - do you know who I am?"

Everyone remained silent as they looked at him in both fears and worried.

"Classic..." Psychopath Joke scoffed. He then chuckled evilly, "Maybe I will tell. But I need an assistant to help me make the story interesting... And she's perfect."

Psychopath Joke turned and glared at Fluttershy as he smiled darkly. She yelped in fear as she slowly moved back. Twilight and her friends were about to attack. He threw a disco ball at them. The Smooze charged off as he had them caught within the slime. As he approached her, she trembled in fear and concern as she stared at him.

Psychopath Joke smirked darkly as he slowly approached her. Fluttershy trembled in fear while Discord could do was watch in fear at her as he knew that the clown will kill her if he tried anything funny, "You looked nervous. Is it the scars? Come here!"

Psychopath Joke pulled Fluttershy closed as he touched her face and place a knife neared her mouth. He narrated in amusement, "Well... Let's see. A long time ago, I was a jester - the best of the best. I always loved making ponies smiled. And then, that's where I met Discord. He told me that we both work together to make the world laugh for joy. I make the best laugh while Discord..."

Psychopath Joke sighed as he slowly put a knife on Fluttershy's mouth, "He makes insane and crazy tricks for everyone to watch. Me just watching. He takes the knife to me and says, 'Why so Serious?' He sticks the blade to my mouth, 'Let's put a smile on that face!' And..." He slowly turned and looked at the frightened crowds. He smirked as he turned to Fluttershy, "Why So Serious?"

Unable to take anymore, Fluttershy used her Animal Ruby in using Bear's Strength. She punched Psychopath Joke's guts. He chuckled in amusement.

"Oh... I like that. For a shy little brat, you've got spirit. I like that!"

"Then you're gonna love this, P.J." The firm and dark voice exclaimed.

Psychopath Joke turned as he found the mysterious figure punched on him on his face two times before hitting on stomach three times. He jumped and grabbed the clown up. The insane clown used the knife to injure his shoulder before kicking him off. His hat and sunglasses dropped off. The mysterious figure jumped up at once. Everyone gasped in surprise and shock.

"Terrorcreep?!" Everyone but Fluttershy and Tree Hugger asked in shock.

Terrorcreep took his Twin Bat Axes out as he charged in. He swung his axes at Psychopath Joke for few times but he missed or the clown dodged them while beating him back. Psychopath Joke rolled to the front as he ran off at once. He was about to grab Fluttershy. Discord came in-between as he gave his old friend a tail whip. Psychopath Joke was thrown off as Terrorcreep grabbed him up high.

"Your days of terrorizing are over, Psychopath Joke!" Terrorcreep exclaimed in anger.

Psychopath Joke chuckled evilly, "Oh... Mr. T. You should know it. This is just the beginning. Ta-ta!"

Psychopath Joke winked his eyes for few times as he disappeared from everyone's sights. But his laughter echoed and heard across the ball as his was pure menacing and sinister. Everyone remained silent for the moment. They wondered of what happen next...

After the shocking attacks from Psychopath Joke, everyone was gathered at the stage. Discord decided to explain about his old friend and how it really happens. Everyone listened carefully to him.

"I kinda forgotten about his name. But P.J. was really a jester and a partner to me but unfortunately, his jokes wasn't really that good," Discord explained, "I tried to teach him about being funny but I guess he got angered and upset easily because of my critics. And the next, he went solo and disappeared. After I was turned to stone, I'd never knew what happen to him until this modern days. I was extremely worried for him. And I heard a lot about him. I've lost my buddy."

Fluttershy looked upset and concern, "I guess that explains why you never wanted me to go away. You were afraid of me doing something foolish that I regret."

"That's the half of it," Discord admitted, "But yes, I'm jealous. I've got manipulated by him from the start. But Fluttershy, why didn't you tell me that Shadowclaw was here?

Shadowclaw cleared his throat, "I have my own reason, Discord. And believe me, I knew you were jealous. So I decided to hidden myself to see if my theory was right. And so far, I was right. I told Fluttershy to snap you out of your jealousy."

"Well, I'm glad she did. That was embarrassing," Discord chuckled in embarrassment. He turned to the Smooze, "I owe you an apology, Smooze. I spent the whole evening thinking about my own feelings and never thinking about yours."

The Smooze smiled in understanding as it kissed Discord's face. Discord smiled happily as he remarked happily

"Well, friends! I think I may actually grow to like this multiple-friend thing."

Maud Pie nodded unemotionally, "I like it too."

"Hey, it's not a party until somepony spreads magic-resistant ooze uncontrollably over the ballroom!" Pinkie squee happily, "Come on, Smoozinator! Let's dance!"

Pinkie pushed the Smooze out as they both danced happily. Terrorcreep smiled happily as he held his hoof up for Fluttershy. She smiled happily as she took his hoof. They both headed to the middle as they danced gracefully and happily in tango style. Everyone joined in the party.

Celestia and Twilight were discussing about the party.

Twilight sighed, "I'm sorry, Princess Celestia. I thought I could give you a break tonight, but it turns out I was in over my head."

"You have nothing to apologize for." Princess Celestia shook her head gently while smiling, "This has been the most fun Gala in years!"

"I know, it was a—What?!" Twilight asked in shock and surprise, "But there was ooze all over the place! And one of the guests threatened to send somepony to another dimension!"

Princess Celestia giggled in amusement, "I know! Can you imagine how dull it would have been if I hadn't invited Discord? Come on! Whoo! The night is still young!"

Princess Celestia headed off as she began partying around. Twilight Sparkle was about to protest but stopped by Ash who shook his head in amusement while smiling. Twilight Sparkle sighed in annoyance but smiled at the end as she knew it's no point. Princess Celestia loved Gala to bewilder and partying, just like the last Gala she and her friends went to.

Both of them joined in the party as they both danced happily and gracefully tango style. While Shadowclaw and Fluttershy danced gracefully and slowly while looking at each other.

"I really wish you could have told me of what you were planning," Fluttershy said in amusement, "This could have avoided some problems."

"If I did, then we wouldn't have made Discord reveal his problem. And you did well to snap him out."

Fluttershy smiled, "That's a relief. But thanks for saving me."

Shadowclaw and Fluttershy kissed passionately and happily for a long. This was the best gala they ever had...
