How would one even start a chaos story? Discord thought flapping his fingers. "but of course i will have to start in the middle of the story! that's how you tell a chaos story" he said laughing. this was going to be fun. but first...
"I guess we should get started then." discord said as he held up his hand and summoned the portal again.
The end of time itself has come upon us...
A bright light flashed through space, causing stars to explode across the entire universe. A massive explosion rocked the planet below, sending shockwaves throughout its surface. As it did so, two small figures could be seen running from the epicenter of the destruction. They ran for what seemed like hours before finally slowing down and collapsing onto their backs. When they looked up at the sky, they saw that there were no more suns or moons. Only blackness enveloped them. Their eyes began to open, but nothing appeared around them except darkness. Then, both of them felt something cold touch their faces. It was ice, freezing their skin into immobility. One of them screamed in agony, while the other tried desperately to move away. Both of them had been frozen solid. They couldn't feel anything anymore; not pain, nor hunger, nor thirst. All they knew is that death was coming soon.
Somewhere far off in the distance, another pair of beings stood looking out towards the horizon. They watched in awe as the world slowly disappeared beneath the endless night. Neither of them spoke because neither wanted to say goodbye. Even though they never met each other face-to-face, they still considered themselves brothers. They shared a bond unlike any other. These two men were about to meet their maker together.
They were the last survivors on Earth.
Three months ago, the worst natural disaster ever recorded happened upon our planet. A meteor hit the earth's atmosphere, traveling at incredible speeds. Its impact caused a chain reaction within our atmosphere which resulted in the destruction of every single living thing on our planet. None survived. But there are some who managed to survive the initial impact. Some hid underground, others survived due to luck alone, and yet others found shelter with fellow humans. Now, after three long months, only four people remain alive--two men and two women. Two of these people are brother and sister, while the remaining two are best friends.
One pony is a scientist working at EASA. He spends most of his day studying the remains of the fallen civilization known as the Great Old Ones. His work helps him cope with the loss of his wife and daughter during the event. This man knows better than anyone else just how little hope humanity has left. Yet, despite all odds, he continues to fight.
Another pony works at a local gas station. She lives with her boyfriend and young son. Her life seems perfect until the day she discovers her husband cheating on her with another woman. After being dumped, she decides to go back home and take care of herself instead of living with someone who doesn't love her. Unfortunately, when she arrives at her house, she finds that everything is gone. Not only is her family gone, but also her job, apartment, car, and savings account. She now must live off the generosity of her parents and struggle to find a new place to live. This pony isn't very smart, but she does know how to look out for number one.
The final pony is a young girl who attends school full-time. Every morning she wakes up early to prepare for class. While her mind may be filled with thoughts of learning and math equations, her heart is filled with fear and sadness. She fears getting sick, dying, and losing everyone she loves. Unlike the rest of her classmates, this pony can do nothing. No matter how hard she tries, she cannot stop thinking about the future. How many days till she gets sick? What if she dies suddenly?
so many random stories. Discord couldn't wait as he snapped his fingers to begin the simulation.
The first scene showed the scientists standing over the body of a dead alien. They studied it carefully.
"What do you think?" asked the scientist.
"I don't know," said the second scientist. "This creature looks different from what we've encountered so far."
"Different how?" asked the third scientist.
"Well... it appears to have suffered severe internal injuries. We're going to need to study its brain."
"Do you want me to call Dr. Michaels?"
"No! I'm sure he'll get here eventually!" replied the fourth scientist.
"Why wait?" said the fifth scientist. "We should dissect it right now."
"But..." protested the fourth scientist.
"Don't worry, Doctor," said the fifth scientist. "You won't lose your job. You're already fired anyway." With that, the five scientists proceeded to cut open the alien's head. As the blood poured out, the five scientists laughed gleefully.
Suddenly, the laughter stopped when they noticed something odd. There was something wrong with the aliens' brains. Something wasn't quite right. "Wai-" said the first scientist. Before he could finish his sentence, the second scientist bit his tongue and dropped to the ground. That same moment, the third scientist collapsed onto the floor. Next, the fourth scientist fell to the ground. And then, finally, the fifth scientist fell to the ground too. Discord watched in horror as the creatures went crazy. Live carpet rugs raised out of the aliens brain They started ripping apart the bodies of their former colleagues. Then, they began tearing each other limb from limb. Soon, there were only six people left alive: the sixth scientist, a pony, and a human boy named Billy. The last thing Discord saw before he died was the six aliens trying to eat each other.
*********
The entire universe was white again " I can't believe it I was eaten by a rug." said a pensive Discord. "I LOVE IT!!" he exclaimed.
Twilight Sparkle Ive called you a nerd, ive called you a geek, but this ai is absolute chaos I love it! oh it feels like my birthday!
okay enough celebrating, lets talk about our plan. So far the best part of the evening has been watching all these ponies act like animals. Now we just need to figure out where to put them. It would be great if we could put them in some kind of zoo or preserve. But we'd still have to feed them and give them water. Maybe we could lure them into a mine shaft or something. Or maybe even some kind of factory. Yeah, something along those lines. lets get rid of all those pesky unicorns and pegasi. ok makeshift ponies, from the top!
Lights. Discord. and... ACTION!
Rainbow Dash begins running around wildly screaming at the top of her lungs. Fluttershy runs after Rainbow Dash and attempts to calm her down.
"Come on, Rainbow! Why are you doing this?!" asks Fluttershy.
Rainbow Dash continues to run around crazily. "Because I'm a freakin' rainbow colored unicorn!" shouts Rainbow Dash. "That doesn't make any sense!" says Fluttershy.
"I AM A FREAKIN' UNICORN!!!" yells Rainbow Dash.
"Okay, fine! Go ahead!" exclaims Fluttershy. Rainbow Dash flies off leaving Fluttershy alone.
Pinkie Pie goes next and starts dancing and singing. Pinkie Pie dances around happily until she trips over a rock and falls face first into a pile of dirt. Pinkie Pie screams in pain and begins crying. "Oh noooooooo!" cries Pinkie Pie. "My legs hurt really bad!"
"Oh dear," says Applejack. "If I had known you were going to fall, I wouldn't have let you dance so much."
"It isn't your fault," says Pinkie Pie. "It's that rock's fault."
"What do you mean?" asks Applejack. "The rock tripped me up."
"Do you want me to help you up?" asks Applejack.
"No, its fine. Its not like anyone will see me."
"Well, alright then," says Applejack and walks away.
Apple Bloom follows Applejack and tries to help Pinkie Pie up. She does so, but accidentally kicks Pinkie Pie in the stomach causing her to cough up a mouthful of dirt.
"Oops," says Apple Bloom. "Sorry."
"Its okay," says Pinkie Pie. "
I guess it happens to everyone once in awhile."
"Yeah, well, don't kick me again," says Pinkie Pie.
"I promise not to kick you ever again," says Apple Bloom.
"No do it again!" said Discord and Apple Bloom kicked pinkie pie in the stomach once more. "The hey?" she wondered. as pinkie pie said ow once more. Discord started laughing "this is good... please keep this comedy going" Discord said.
Rarity comes next and becomes extremely angry. She beats everypony else with her tail, including herself. Rarity eventually gets tired of beating herself and stops. "pffft!" gigged Discord "hey why are you beating yourself?" he said sarcastically. "because im beautiful and perfect and my life sucks because Im ugly and imperfect." said Rarity.
Discord keeps laughing. "you would never say that in the real world.." said Discord.
"yes i would!" shouted rarity.
"no you wouldn't..." said Discord.
"NO YOU WOULDN'T!!" shouted Rarity.
"and what makes you think that? you are a program." asked Discord.
"YES BECAUSE IM JEALOUS AND IM SUPERIOR TO EVERYONE ELSE IN THIS GROUP!!!!" screamed Rarity.
"geez even for an ai your you make a convincing bratty rarity." Discord touched rarity's nose "erase" he says and in a cloud of dust she evaporates into the air. "wow" said Discord "intuitive"
Fluttershy comes out last and takes a deep breath before speaking. "so here we go...." begins fluttershy "I am afraid that I may be a little bit different than the rest of you."
"im still twenty percent cooler" Rainbow Dash said.
"actually if you're gonna talk about being different you should probably start talking about how you aren't gay" said Twilight Sparkle.
"wait wait wait hold on now... I'm NOT GAY?!?!" cried out Dash "how can someone who looks like me possibly NOT BE GAY!?"
"well since you've been living among us and all... just remember that there are people out there who look exactly like you or worse yet they might actually be two-dimensional!" exclaimed Fluttershy.
"TWILIGHT SPARKLE IS RIGHT THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO LOOK LIKE ME THAT AREN'T GAY THOSE PEOPLE DON'T EVEN EXIST THEY CAN'T EXIST IT WOULD BREAK THE UNIVERSE IF TWO DIMENSIONS EXISTED!!!!!" yelled Applejack.
"oh stop being such a drama queen." said Rainbow Dash.
"volume down" commanded Discord. in an instant the ponies started whispering. They were all acting very nervous.
"okay, let's get back to business shall we?" suggested Fluttershy.
The group agreed and continued their work until twilight approached them.
"okay, enough of this nonsense! let's get back to our main goal!" said Twilight.
"what was the point of bringing us together anyway?" asked Pinkie Pie.
"in order to find Luna" replied Twilight.
"but isn't she dead?" asked Apple Jack.
"not according to the book that Discord gave me." said Twilight.
"CUT!" yelled Discord instantly freezing time, "there shall be no mention of me, computer. There will also be no mention of any books! Now where did I put that damn raincloud?" He looked around frantically searching for his magic raincloud but couldn't find it anywhere.
"damn it!" he said frustratedly. Suddenly a bright light appeared from above him. It was the sun. Discord flew up in panic trying to escape the burning rays. He fell through some clouds and landed on a grassy hill. He looked at the sky and saw the sun.
"well I guess ill never know what happens" exclaims a saddened Discord. "that stuff was hilarious, I think am up for some more? sound good? ok reset. "
Lights! Discord! and.... Action!

Discord remembered he liked playing Dungeons & Discords when he was playing with Spike and Big Mac, and as much as he enjoyed playing the game, he could not get the actual Big Mac or Spike as they sometimes are busy. the simulation could create a big mac and spike personalities, then have them tell the tale.
it sounded like a simulation in a simulation. it sounded like absolute chaos. Discord was already smiling.
"Generate Big Mac and Spike please" the simulation fizzed the familiar faces in front of Discord "enable interaction"
the two creatures started moving looking around them.
"Hey Discord!" exclaimed Spike "where are we?"
"The sewers" said Discord. and as he said it, the sewers generated around them. "you ready for guys night?
"EYUP!" exclaimed Big Mac "Whats the goal this time?"
"how about a chaos emerald?" answered Discord
"oh a search for treasure! im In!" said spike.
"EYUP!" exclaimed Big Mac
the goal was set: Obtain the chaos emerald. the three adventurers are poor, and have no way to barly survive they keep each other safe even though they are barely surviving
spike coughed as he warmed his hands by the small fire shivering against the murky pipes of the sewer.
"I heard a nasty rumor on the surface today." spike said
"what didst thou hear Spikonous?" asked Big Mac
"i think one of the taverns is hosting a treasure hunt" Spike said
"no shit?"
"yeah"
"hmmm...well that would be good news for us. we would be able to finally get out of these slops" said the bigger man
"i think its time to leave to find treasure" said Big Mac
The group of four were walking down a dark street, and the streets were lined with buildings, and some were lit up. The large men were leading the way, the smaller men following behind. There was no moon, but the sky was filled with stars. It was a clear night, but the air was filled with the smell of sewage.
"You're right," said Big Mac "we should be able to find a better place to sleep tonight."
"We need to find something first." Spike said "I think I know where we can find a nice bed."
"Hahaha! That sounds like fun Spikey!" laughed Big Mac "I'm in! Let's go!"
The pair of heroes headed towards the next building, as they did so they passed the next building, but instead of going inside, they went to the next building, and the next, and the next, before reaching the end of the block.
The pair of adventurers found the entrance to the tavern, but it was locked. The door was solid metal, with an alarm system, and was guarded by a half dozen guards. The heroes were about to give up when Spike noticed that there was a light on inside the tavern.
"We need to find the owner!" he said
"We need to find the owners!" replied Big Mac
"There's always the bartender!" Spike said "I'll go talk to him."
Spike walked into the dimly lit room, and he saw a young man, who looked like he was probably in his twenties. He had short brown hair, and wore a blue t-shirt and jeans. He was sitting at a table playing cards with another man, who seemed to be in his forties.
"Hey Spike!" called Big Mac "I'm here!"
"I'm glad you're here, because I was wondering if you could help me." Spike said
"Sure what's up?"
"we need to enter the treasure hunt!" responded the younger man
"I need to find the Chaos Emerald."
"Oh yes, but what are you going to do with it?" the younger bartender asked
"I'm going to sell it."
"You can't! Its illegal!"
"I don't care, I'm just going to sell it!"
"Its a powerful gem, and I can't have the cops coming here to arrest me!"
"I'll go to jail for a long time for selling a valuable gem, but if I get caught, then I'll be able to buy myself out of jail by selling the gems I find."
"You don't need to sell the emeralds, you can just keep them."
"I'm not keeping the gems! I'm selling the gem!"
"Oh?"
"Yes. I'm going to start a new life, and I'm going to sell the valuable gems I find, and buy the rest of the stuff I need to start a life of my own."
"Here you are! Here's a map of the area, and a scroll with all the information you'll need. You can read it yourself, or you can ask me questions."
The bartender handed over the scroll, and the two men began to read from it.
"What is this? A guide to the sewers?" asked Spike
"No, this is a list of the treasures of the city."
"So, how are we going to find the treasure?"
"We'll figure it out as we go. But I think I know a way."
"What's that?"
"You're a hero, so you'll know what to do."
"Hrm, well I guess I'll be able to do something."
"Good, because that will be the most important thing."
The three heroes were walking down the dark streets of the town. They were in the middle of the night, and the city was quiet.
The trio went west, and soon they reached the edge of town. The tunnel looked like a normal sewer tunnel, but there were some stairs leading down into it. They went down, and found themselves in a large room with many doors leading off it. All of them were locked.
"I think we should try one of the rooms on the right," suggested Big Mac
"I think that's where we should start looking," said Spike
The group continued to the left, and found themselves in a slightly smaller room. There was a door on the left side of the room, and it was locked.
"I think we should go back to the main hall and try the other door," said Spike
"I think we should try that door," agreed Little John
The pair of them went to the door on the left side of the room, and opened it. Inside was a small office. It was empty, so they decided to look around the office.
"I think this room is the only one that's unlocked," stated Big Mac
"I'm going to check out the desk," announced Spike
The young man walked over to the desk, and began to look through the drawers. He found some writing in a book, and he read it.
"This is a letter to Mr. Varsakken. This is his address. The first part is to pay you for your help, and the second part is a map of the city. You can read it yourself, or you can ask me questions."
Big Mac picked up the map, and read the first sentence.
"Dear sir,
I am Mr. Elios, and I am here to help you. I have a friend who is also a hero, and I want to help her. She is called Mary Jane.
I have heard about the great deeds you have done, and I want to help. If you would like, I can give you the location of the treasure.
I am also willing to give you a reward, if you help Mary Jane.
I hope you will help Mary Jane.
Sincerely,
Mr. Elios
"This guy sounds pretty shady," mumbled Big Mac
"I don't think so, I think this is just a scam to get money from us," answered Spike.
"Yeah, but I don't see how we can trust him."
"Well, we can't really trust anyone, but maybe we should just take the chance," offered Little John
"I think that's probably a good idea," agreed Big Mac.
The three men decided to take the chance, and went to see Elios.
"Hello, gentlemen. What can I do for you?"
"We need a guide to find the treasure of the City of Thieves."
"Ah yes, of course, you are my heroes. We will be able to find it easily. I will lead you to it."
Elios led them to an old building, and showed them the way to get inside. When they got inside, there were some stairs, and some windows. Elios showed them that there was a trapdoor in the floor, and he opened it. He then closed the trapdoor. The door to the outside was locked, so they decided to wait until nightfall.
"I will be waiting for you. Good luck, and stay alert."
Elios left, and the trio of heroes waited for the evening to come. They waited for an hour or so, but no sign of Mr. Elios. Spike and Little John were getting frustrated, and they both suggested they just leave, but Big Mac was against it.
"No, we need to stick around and see what happens."
"Well we can't leave, because I'm not sure if he's coming or not."
"Well we can't leave either, because I'm not sure what the hell we're going to do if he doesn't show up."
The two guys didn't really have any more ideas on what to do, so they decided to just stay put. Soon, they heard a noise, and Big Mac yelled out "HEY! HEY!"
The group of four were suddenly attacked by several creatures, and one of them had already taken off its helmet. The creature was covered in blood, and it was holding a sword.
"HOLY SHIT IT'S A TURTLE!" shouted Little John.
"Yeah, it's a fucking ninja turtle! We gotta kill the fucker!" exclaimed Spike
Is it teenaged? asked discord as Little John
"no its older, why do you ask?" asked spike
'nothing... just saves me a lawsuit." replied Discord
You and your team defend the fort, while keeping an eye on Big Mac and his friends.
Big Mac and his buddies don't even bother to attack, they just run off. You and a few others continue to fight the remaining two. Eventually, the other guy gets tired of fighting.
"Alright! Alright! Let's finish this thing!" he shouts and runs off. The rest of the people in the room start to get scared, and they start to leave. The girl is also scared, but she stays.
"What's going on?" she asks.
"I'll tell you later! Just get outta here!"
You and the girl leave, as well as most of your team. As for Big Mac and his two buddies, they follow after the retreating soldiers. Big Mac and his buddy run off, and Big Mac is shouting at everyone to follow him.
"Come on, let's go! Follow the big man!" Big Mac says.
"But where's Elios? I thought we were going to kill him!" Discord asks.
"He's dead! That little shit killed him, and now we're all gonna die!" Big Mac exclaims.
"Alright, listen up! This is my dad, who's been fucking with us since day one. He's not going to be happy about what's going on, so let's get it straight! It's either you, or me, or the entire town! If it's me, then I'll take you and your friend out! If it's the town, then I'll take you all out! If it's the both of us, then you'll all die. Just like that fat bitch did to me!" discord says
"Alright, calm down, calm down!"
Big Mac and his two buddies stop running, as well as all the people following them. They turn around and face the military men. The two guys are still holding their swords, but Big Mac is now holding a knife in his hand.
"Alright boys! Drop your weapons!" Big Mac exclaims.
they drop their swords, as well as their eyes. Big Mac and his spike are now holding knives. Big Mac is getting ready to kill the soldier, when he looks over at his other buddy, who's now holding a gun.
"Don't shoot," Big Mac shouts.
Spike fires, hitting the prisoner in the head. The shot causes him to fall to the ground. This causes the remaining soldiers to run off, leaving Big Mac and his friend alone.
As Big Mac walks over to the fallen prisoner, you and your team follow behind him. When you get near him, he turns to look at you, and smiles.
"Alright! We're all in this together, so let's get to work! And remember, if you want to live, the only way out of this room is through me!"
"That's right, I'm taking my team out, and then we're gonna kill every last one of those sons of bitches!"
"Alright! Alright! You got me, hold on! Hold on!"
Big Mac turns to his friends, trying to calm them down. They do not listen though. They continue to shout and scream.
"No! No, no, we're with you! You can't leave us here! They're gonna find us and kill us! Please! We're with you! We're with you! We're all in this together!"
"Shut the fuck up! Shut the fuck up!" Big Mac shouts.
"I'm sorry! Alright, alright, we're all in this together! If you want to survive, you're gonna have to listen to me!"
"We're not listening to any of your shit!"
"Well, fuck you and your shitty ideas! I'm outta here! Fuck it! Let's just go!"
"Hey wait, hold on!" Big Mac says.
"What?!"
"You don't want to kill anyone? Fine, you can stay here!"
"What?! Listen, I'm sorry, but we're not killing anybody, not even for revenge! All we want is to go home, and we're not going to do that by killing someone! Alright, you guys can go home, and I'm not going to be a part of it!"
"but the jewel Big Mac!" spike asked with, discord and big mac breathing up a storm.
"Yeah, what about the fucking jewel?" Big Mac asks. " you can take it!" i'm done with this adventure.
"No, that's not the plan!"
"fuck the plan" Mac says
"Alright, you guys are free to go, but I'm staying here. I'm taking out the town! We're gonna kill everyone, and then I'm gonna take out the rest of you!"
"No, Big Mac, you can't do that!"
"Why the hell not? I'm a fuckin' hero! I'm supposed to save the day! There's no reason why I shouldn't be able to take out the town! Look, I'm taking out the town, so if you guys are gonna stay here, then you're gonna have to listen to me!"
"But it's suicide!"
"You're right, it's suicide. But I'm gonna die anyway, so it's not like I'm going to get a medal or anything. So what's the point of dying for something you don't believe in? I'll see you guys at the end of this."
Big Mac takes out a pistol and points it at them. "you die ill kill you just go!"
"Alright, we need to get out of here. I think we should split up, and try to find a place to hide out."
"What?! Why? We're not even safe in our own homes!"
"We're not safe in our own homes because we're surrounded by hostile people, and a bunch of armed men! We're not even safe in the sewers, and we're surrounded by hostile people, and a bunch of armed men! We're not even safe in our own homes because we're surrounded by hostile people, and a bunch of armed men! You want to be safe from people, then you need to be safe from the government. That's why it's best if we stay away from our homes, and go somewhere else. I think we need to find someplace to hide out, and wait for help to come."
"What about me and my team?" Discord asked.
"What about you and your team?
"What about me and my team?"
"Yes, I'm taking your team out of this. You're going to be disbanded, and I'm going to make sure that nobody from this group ever comes back. I'm also putting all the money that I won from this bet into a trust fund for you, to help you get started in life."
"What?! What about us?"
"I'm sorry, but there's no way you're getting out of this alive. You're going to have to live with this. The only thing left for you now is to take revenge on the world. The first step is to kill everyone."
"What about me and my team?"
"You're going to be disbanded, and I'm going to make sure that nobody from this group ever comes back. I'm also putting all the money that I won from this bet into a trust fund for you, to help you get started in life."
"What about me and my team?"
"What about you and your team? I'm not having you die for nothing!"
"But... we're friends!"
"Friends? No, I'm trying to kill you!"
> what again?
Spike started screaming at Big Mac, but he doesn't seem to care. He just continues to point his gun at your head.
"You're a piece of shit, you know that? A fucking murderer, a cold blooded killer, and a rapist. You're not a friend. You're not even a person. You're a monster. I hope you're happy, because I'm going to kill you soon."
"Kill me? What's wrong with you?!"
"Nothing, you're going to die anyway. Look, the next time you see someone from this group, you tell them that the rest of us are leaving for good. You tell them to tell everyone else to do the same. Tell anyone who will listen. If you don't, I'm going to kill you."
"CEACE!" Discord shouts, and then you hear a loud explosion.
"Goodbye," Big Mac says.
And then it's over.
Spiked watched as the entire city is engulfed in flames. In his own home, the walls are destroyed, the roof is gone, the windows are smashed, the furniture is broken, and the couch is on fire. The TV is on, but static. he quickly rubbed his hand together and reached for the fire before it engulfed him completely
Big mac died next
And then discord dies
they all died in the middle of the night, as the world ended.
The simulation turned white again there was no more story.
"I really got to stop dying more" said Discord standing up to see the white field in front of him.
he pinched himself "owch" he says... he had a weird thought that he didn't control the last story as much as the first one.
"perhaps maybe a different story?" he thought.

Remember Me?(and the Pony version of the Night before Christmas)
The Simulated world was white again. Discord was about to start another simulation when he remembered something. or at least he thought he remembered something. he snaped in a calendrer and checked the date. he face palmed as he confirmed his worst fear.
It was hearths warming day and he forgot.
He sighed he knew in the real world it was not morning in ponyville so he would have ample time to try to decorate his place in ponyville... which he also forgot he did not have a place to decorate in...
ok then he will make a place... no he cant do that either he was not allowed... well how can he forget if he was always thinking about stuff like that.... Well maybe its not too late to go buy decorations... nope they were all closed. How was he going to celebrate heaths warming wit out a place to open gifts, or place decorations?
Discord looked around the white simulation plane. Then he grinned as he had an idea, an wonderful idea! Discord smiled widely as he had an awfully wonderful idea.
"Computer, turn off character script from Discord.ai." a happy chime played over the air. Discord cracked his knuckles eagerly as he fingers twitched with excitement. "Ok computer, create new land, spawn me somewhere in the snow with plenty of trees." Discord said excitedly. In response hillocks of snow appeared beneath his two feet making a noise like rubbing small rocks. Trees grew from sapling in a very fast rate as well, quickly dotting the landscape with their green foliage.
As discord began to walk through the newly created forest he felt as if he could almost smell the pine needles. He ran his hooves across the soft snow as he laughed joyfully. Then he coughed and shivered "lets not get carried away here Discord" he told himself. Walking a bit Discord saw a large snowbank near him. He stopped and stared at it for a moment before saying "Computer, make this slope into a large cliff with a log cabin looking out from it." Discord replied happily.
The scene changed instantly, but instead of being in a snowy mountain range, "Add a frozen lake beneath me as well." he said. the computer generated the frozen lake surrounded by ice-covered hills. The new terrain made discord immediately slip and fall. "maybe I should not be on top of the ice next time." Discord said.
Discord looked at the log cabin with the very wide window looking out into the frozen lake, it was so picturesque and peaceful that even the most jaded and cynical of ponies might find themselves feeling a little more cheerful than usual. Discord walked toward the front door walking up the many stairs to get to the main floor. He whistled softly as he slowly opened the door to the cabin as the first time seeing it. A warm feeling came over him as He stepped on the mahogany floorboards. He took a deep breath of fresh air filled with the scent of evergreen trees.
Discord looked up to see a very tall roof that was holding a chandelier shaped like a star. There were many other objects scattered throughout the room including a roaring fireplace to the right edge corner, and a piano on the left. To his immediate right was a stairway leading up a second floor loft. All the furniture was made of wood, but the green padded couch made a statement against the otherwise brown tones of everything else in the room. he sat in in leaning back a bit. "it already feeling festive in here doesn't it? And yet there's still more work to be done." he chuckled.
"ok computer, add some wreaths and hearths warming day decorations please!" Discord called out happily. the computer complied with his request adding garlands everywhere along with several wooden table tops covered in candles all lit. Each one of them held a different kind of candle. Some were red, others blue, yellow and orange. They smelled amazing. He loved the way they smelled. More importantly he enjoyed the way they looked. They really brought out the festive spirit in him.
After spending nearly ten minutes admiring each individual candle flame, he realized there was no chaos to be found. quite taken aback by this he promptly snapped all the candles (holders and all) upside down causing small fireballs to safely puff out onto the carpeted ground. noting the festive mood dissipating rapidly with this and yet to the lord of all things chaotic, he would retain this look anyway just to keep his sanity, he decided now was probably good enough time to invite every pony to his simulated perfection party. So he snaped his fingers teleporting himself into the real world of Equestria. When he arrived in Canterlot proper, everyone seemed to know exactly who he was because half the town turned out to greet him. This to Discord was a bit odd, yet not unwelcome. But soon his presence caused such commotion that the local law enforcement showed up within moments demanding answers "hey, why are you wandering our streets unsupervised?!" or "What do you want!?"
"All in due time my dear ponies!" said Discord cheerily waving both arms above his head while dressed only in black boots and pants. With these words, he activated another teleport spell sending himself directly inside the palace where guards stood ready to meet him upon arrival. Upon landing atop the grand staircase connecting the various floors below, he spread his wingspan allowing for easy access between rooms without having to use any steps whatsoever. and using his stretched wingspan he rubber-banded to Twilights Sparkle's face
"Happy hearths warming!" he shouted loudly then sent a beam of light from behind him casting a dramatic shadow of Twilight which fell backwards towards her body creating a 3D effect to the shadow.
"Happy hearths warming" discord said in a twilight voice as he gave his shadow puppet a voice. "Notice this time I did not teleport to you" Discord added in a statement of fact. This last remark drew raised eyebrows among those who heard it since few knew what happened between what Twilight And Discord knew of this mannerism. Though honestly none cared too much about it either.
Twilight Sparkle raised an eyebrow and chuckled slightly "the entire point I am trying to make is to not sneak up on ponies when your around! Not sure how long we will have to play this game though... Guess its an improvement..." she muttered under her breath. "and a happy hearth warming to you too!"
the two just awkwardly stare at each other until Discord cleared his thought
"Ill get to the point." Discord said snapping in a suit in tie too look proper, he even snapped in glasses to look even more the part. "I royally extend an invitation for you and your council of friendship dine with me tonight at six o'clock sharp. You can bring any creature else if you wish, I can make the proper arrangements, but I do wish you could join me perhaps? Just think of me as Santa Hoofs except better because I am here rather than far away somewhere delivering presents across the sky during winter solstice season. What say?" asked Discord. His eyes sparkled brightly as always making ponies feel uncomfortable. The only time Discord had those eyes glowed bright was before something chaotic was in the works.
"I suppose maybe," replied Twilight nervously. She didn't trust herself near Discord, but then again Discord had his own chaotic world to entertain him plus the castle was now completely at risk with Discord becoming more powerful seemingly everyday so being close to him became less dangerous somehow.
The problem wasn't necessarily that Discord might hurt someone; It was actually pretty safe to assume that whatever whim he had was better served else where. Instead, the issue lay mostly in simply getting used to living in harmony with Discord after years spent. For example, despite their obvious differences, Twilight couldn't help but notice similarities between Harmony and Discord--similarities born through shared experience. If anything, Discord reminded her most of Luna, and thusly felt somewhat responsible toward helping resolve matters peacefully given her history with Discord. and besides, nobody truly feared Discord when the main six were around.
Who knows? Perhaps this would be a prime example of showing Equestria what the Princess Of Friendship could do. At least according to her plans....
"whats the catch?" she said after much thought. Her mind racing over possibilities and scenarios.
"Why Twilight, just have every pony arrive at these coordinates tomorrow night December twenty second precisely 6PM That will give me time to set things up proper ok?" answered Discord kindly taking off his glasses revealing sparkling white irises underneath.
"yes, yes I understand thank you!" smiled Twilight "I'll put it forward with my friends right now. We're meeting anyways later ill put it forward with first thing." agreed Twilight.
"Good girl, see ya then!" waved Discord departing leaving Twilight alone feeling confused. "will please Some pony note the time Discord talked like a normal creature."
Twilight Sparkle and the rest of the main six arrived at the assigned coordinates
late in the night finding no one there besides themselves waiting patiently by twilights glowing horn light. "well, we are here, where is Discord?" questioned Fluttershy looking concerned. "he should've been done already setting everything up,"
a flash a light appeared behind them causing them too look back, "Sorry for the delay" Discord said appearing beside them wearing fluffy red overalls and sporting big glassy round goggles similar to ones worn by steampunk engineers. He wore several different kinds of hats made entirely of fur covered cloth adorned with strings of bells hanging down covering large portions of his face giving him a perpetual smile. His coat was Santa style complete with jingle bell accents along the sleeves and collar adding extra flair. to top it all off were matching gloves which ended halfway past his elbows making him look absolute dapper that even Rarity complemented him saying "you really pulled out all the stops today Darling what a nice ensemble indeed. Ive never seen anyone dress quite so festive or fun ever let alone myself! "
Even Rainbow Dash was a little impressed "look at those furs, gives that aggression feel awesome man great job."
Discord snapped his fingers twice sending forth a door that lead into his dimension that opened into a world of the house he made earlier, and as The Seven looked in to see light snow was falling on the other side of the door, the very festive log cabin that was beckoning the ponies to step inside.
"Breathtaking" Said Fluttershy. They saw numerous small trees standing tall everywhere they turned while various decorations hung above creating eye catching scenes full of cheeriness. Discord smiled inside as he had known he had done a good job putting together such a wonderful place filled with warmth and joyfulness. However, he did know that seeing himself dressed in such attire caused some discomfort among himself but it was in fact necessary since everyone who came to visit needed to believe he fit in perfectly within Equestrian society.
He led the group towards the inside of the cabin, and it was just as picture perfect as outside boasting the dark wood floors and painted walls. and each Pony took a turn admiring the elephants in the room most notably the upside down candles. Discord fidgeted "can you really blame me? I just cant function with out anything not chaotic happening" He continued walking until finally coming upon the fireplace and watched its flames dancing. every pony that was there just took in the sights quietly enjoying the atmosphere without speaking. Suddenly though twilight frowned slightly turning her head to stare directly at an odd shaped tree sitting next to another larger fir decorated almost identically save for having candy cane lights instead of real bulbs. "... why doesn't this tree seem familiar..." mumbled Twight staring intently trying to remember if she'd noticed any others... No wait.. is this the tree of harmony?"
"Relax Twilight its all part of the simulation don't worry about remembering stuff your memory isn't going anywhere anyway okay? Now come on lets get celebrating because tonight's gonna be our biggest party yet!" exclaimed Discord excitedly jumping up and waving his arms encouragingly leading them towards the center of the home. "gather round every pony gather round cause I'm going to be telling you an old traditional Mares tale called 'The Night Before Christmas' only I'm doing MY version of course hahaha So sit back relax grab yourself something hot chocolate drink cider mulled wine. whatever floats your boat as Discord proudly presents "The night before hearths warming".
T 'was the night before hearths warming and all through the cabin.
all creatures were resting, including a dragon.
In hopes that dear Celestia would come visit their abodes
and to give them all blessings as she traveled down the roads.
All winter wear were hung up for the night.
and all pony kind were snuggled up tight
I was just getting up with my fingers about
that I might cause chaos in Equestria throughout.
Twilight glared at Discord. "Too much?" said Discord nervously flicking his hat brim upwards attempting to hide his eyes from view again.
She shook her head slowly in disapproval "fine ill not include chaos" he muttered under his breath.
I was just getting up with my fingers about
looking out to see dear Celestia's snout
I waited a while to see a glimmer of light.
I stayed like that for most of the night.
then from afar, arose such a noise.
I genuinely thought it was one of the boys
but then when It got closer, low and behold;
Celestia appeared, radiant and bold.
Her cart was being pulled by a six pony lead
for the cart in weight had it over exceed
A slice a cake was within her hoof
her belly growing from her sugar goof
The alicorn dressed in holiday attire
but if you look at her bump it looked like satire.
I closed my eyes my mind on confetti
In desperately trying to forget that big belly.
and yet my peeping eyes could not deter
her distinct beautiful figure... such as it were...
She picked up her weight with her magical horn
and was so quick you thinks she's forsworn
She grabbed a bag of what I assumed to be goodies
but instead inside was a bag full of hoodies
she pulled out a sweater that could be described as bizarre
for it looked like some pony left a glitter supply ajar
She folded it nicely for the pony in mind
and put it in the mailbox that they could then find.
if she was trying to be discreet she was doing a poor job.
for now every creatures awake from this noisy slob
but Celestia continues and doesn't mind a bit
Afterall Celestia wants to show she's legit.
she strikes a pose, strikes a pose! out in the streets.
to show off her large boddice that grows when she eats.
and every one groans when they see all her mass
but applaud her anyway as she did her chasse
she delivered the old sweaters to all the right homes
then tiptoed back to the cart like a gnome
she climbed up to to the top of the wagon she drove
and pulled from within it a working stove.
she opened the door and what did I see?
but even more baked goods for her Majesty.
Then munching down taking a mouthful
a look from her eyes as she took another spoonful
then looking at me looking quite astute.
put her hoof on her face and gave it a boop.
then cried the alicorn mare and the stoke of mid night
and proceeded again out into moonlight
"Now Twilight and Rainbow dash and Fluttery shy
on Rarity, Apple jack and Pinkie pie!
to the end of the street as I need a big stall.
come! pull away pull away pull away all!"
And I herd her exclaim as she rode out of sight.
oh dear me! these pants are really tight!
and before you know as this tale has begun.
now it is time to say to you... We're done.
Discord smiled "well what do you think?
"Not a bad poem darling" replied Rarity "but must have you made Celestia so fat?"
Pinkie Pie giggled lightly "what a fun and wholesome story! Merry Hearthwarming everybody" She clapped
Thus how it panned out of the rest of the evening went exactly the same way. with merriment and laughter filling the air. Because when there is friendship in the aire, nothing can dampen spirits especially during the special winter days.
