The walk to Fluttershy's was quite uneventful save for the few meetings with the residents of the Everfree. A few Timber wolves here and some Bitterweavers there, they only stared at Discord before continuing with current tasks. Discord gave the inside of the forest a once over and smiled because this was one of the few places in Equestria that he could just relax and enjoy his surroundings. In fact sometimes Discord really felt like the Everfree was alive in a sense, as if the forest was a living entity and only sought to give refugee to the misunderstood and those who would be shunned by society.

Discord quietly played with this thought and noted that he would be at Fluttershy's cottage in a few minutes. When he reached the edge of the Everfree he could see her cottage and noted that she was safe and was busy feeding her animals. His shadow familiars were doing their job of protecting Fluttershy and keeping a sharp eye out for anything baring hostility towards her. One of them was currently situated in a tree while another was placed directly in front of her cottage simply watching for any signs of trouble.

When they caught sight of Discord they merely nodded their heads signaling nothing had happened and all was well. Discord nodded in acknowledgment and made his way towards Fluttershy who was unaware that the Draconequus was now behind her. He only smiled as she busied herself putting out the food for her furry little friends. Discord only chuckled silently and poked her shoulder and moved in front of her when she looked behind her to see nothing but the air. When she turned her head back to the front she was staring into a pair of mismatched crimson eyes surrounded by yellow.

She let out an incoherent squeak and did what any scared mare would do, she slammed her head forwards and knocked Discord flat on ass with a dazed look. When she realized it was only Discord, she let out a small sigh of relief and than she realized that she had just headbutted the Spirit of Chaos and friend. She immediately leaned down and helped him up while repeatedly saying in a very apologetic tone "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Discord only smiled and raised a paw to halt her apologies "No my dear Fluttershy, its my fault for giving you a scare and must say you have quite the headbutt," he said in a cheerful tone, the pain in his head already receding. He carefully stood up and dusted himself off before putting a paw gently on Fluttershy's mane in a comforting manner. She looked up with worry in her eyes to which Discord gave a soft smile. Fluttershy visibly calmed down and finally asked Discord "Where have you been, if you don't mind me asking..." she said in soft tone.

Discord only rubbed his talons against his chest and said in nonchalant tone "Oh no where in particular, just around."

Fluttershy only continued to look at Discord expectantly and Discord only sighed in resignation before finally saying "If must know I went to Hell, made some Werewolf friends, and killed some really powerful demons by causing them to explode." he said in a bored voice.

Fluttershy shot Discord a worried glance and immediately began to look for an injury on Discord that she might of missed. Discord only wave a paw in dismissal saying "Don't worry Fluttershy, I'm a God remember, takes more then a bunch of weak demons to harm me."

Fluttershy only nodded slowly still looking for an injury before finally deciding that Discord was okay and was indeed unharmed. She sighed in relief and began to finish up with her chores.

"Need any help there?" asked Discord.

Fluttershy only gave a small smile and shook her head lightly "No its alright Discord, I'm almost done anyways.."

Discord nodded and stuck his hands in imaginary pockets and looked up into the sky and gave a small smile as noted the clouds that were beginning to block out the sky. Judging by the dark clouds and distant rumbling, Ponyville was going to have a scheduled Thunderstorm. Fluttershy saw that Discord was looking up and also looked up and saw the dark clouds.

"Umm Discord, would you like to stay in my cottage with me till the storm passes...if that's alright with.." Fluttershy asked meekly behind a veil of light-pink hair.

Discord only shook his head slowly with the same small smile still plastered on his face. "I'm sorry but I'm going to have decline that kind offer, I enjoy a good Thunderstorm and I have some other things to attend to as well," he said calmly.

Fluttershy only looked worry but Discord only waved it off with smile "Don't worry to much, I'll be fine."

Fluttershy nodded slightly in reluctance and said in a stern voice "If you get struck by Lightning mister, your going to be in so much trouble," causing Discord to slightly flinch back.

Discord nodded in acknowledgment and began to push the petite mare into her home as the first drops of rain began to fall. She went in without a peep and Discord only winked as he snapped his talons causing a tray with a cup of hot chocolate and some sweets on the side popped into reality on her coffee table.

Discord shut the door before Fluttershy could say thanks and with a flick of the wrist he used a simple Polymorph spell causing his form to ripple once changing it back to the form the Unicorn form he wore earlier. With a flick of the horn a black hooded cloak settled itself onto his body. Satisfied with the color, Discord began to make his way down the path towards Ponyville while the rain began to come down at a quicker pace. Discord didn't care though, he enjoyed the rain and it would soothe his mind. His walk towards Ponyville was quite uneventful save for the few encounters with animals and Ponies alike trying to escape the weather. Discord didn't pay any attention to them and silently walker over the red bridge watching for any trouble. Satisfied with the outside of Ponyville being safe, he made his way towards the center. He passed closed shops and lit homes with families enjoying the cold weather with their fireplaces lit and enjoying hot chocolate together.

Discord wasn't envious of them, he would never envy those he would not want harmed. Seeing them happy, carefree, and just enjoying life to its fullest was good enough for him. Sure he liked to prank them every now and than but he never really meant any harm. That didn't matter though, right now he had a job to do. As he was passing an alley he swore he heard grunt of pain. He stopped and strained his ears, trying to hear if there was indeed someone that needed help. He heard it again but this time it was more like a hiss of pain so Discord only did the right thing. He used a simple spell that created a small sphere of light that floated besides him.

He called out into the poorly lit alley "Is there anypony there, if you need help just say so."

Discord waited patiently and after a minute of silence a strained voice called out "Um yes, I am actually in a need of assistance. I'd be very grateful indeed if you would help a chap."

Discord began to walk into the alley searching for the voice that reminded him of Trotingham. It didn't take long till he spotted the one who needed help, a chestnut coated Earth Pony stallion with a brown mohawk mane and he was wearing a green tie around his neck. He was laying on his side and he had a nasty burn mark. What looked like a silver pen layed at his side and he was wearing a snazzy looking green tie.

"Oh great, the one who comes to my rescue is a Spirit of Chaos in disguise. First the Daleks and now the Spirit of Chaos, can this day get any better?"

"Um actuall-" Discord began but was cut off by the strange stallion waving his hooves. "Don't answer that."

Discord just looked at the strange stallion with amusement as the stallion wore a look of annoyance and amusement. They stared at each other for a few minutes longer before Discord simply asked "Do you want my help?"

The stallion was silent before finally sighing in defeat "Oh alright then but no tricks," he said.

Discord nodded and said "Scouts honor," and flicked his horn, a light glow surrounded the burn. The stallion hissed in pain but soon visibly relaxed as the burn began to disappear. Just as quickly as he started it was over and the chestnut stallion shakily got up on his hooves. After brushing his coat off and slipping the small peculiar pen like device under his tie.

The stallion walked over to Discord and stuck a hoof out "I'm the Doctor and who might you be?" he said in a cheerful voice

Discord chuckled and stuck his hoof out giving the strange stallion's hoof "The names Discord, Spirit of Chaos."

"Oh another Draconequus, been a while since I've met one of your kind. Although the ones I met weren't as powerful as you."
"That's because I'm the literal Spirit of Chaos, which brings me to the question, how do you know about the Draconequus?"
"Oh simple really, I'm just like you, the last of my kind, I'm a Time Lord."
"That's impossible, the Time Lords died out centuries ago."
"Well that's me, doing the impossible whenever I get the chance."
"If your a Time Lord then what are you doing here, you have the ability to travel through time and space."
"I use to be Homeless ever since I got caught in a Solar storm that shot me into a wormhole. I can travel through time and space in this Universe but I can't leave this Parallel Universe. I'm stuck here but I must confess, I couldn't be happier. I've made great friends and found a new home."
"Well what if I told you theres going to be another war that could end up as genocide for this world and maybe Universe.
"I will defend this world with my very life."
"Good, I'm currently in the middle of creating an army to fight the oncoming Storm."
"Well you can count me in Discord but I have a small favor to ask."
"Oh and what would that be?"
"Think you could bring some Fish Fingers and Custard into reality?"

Discord was currently sitting in a blue box that was Much bigger on the inside then the outside but this didn't phase him in the least. It was simple Time Lord science, Bigger on the inside. The Doctor was currently sitting down happily eating a bowl of Fish Fingers and Custard. After licking the bowl clean he fixed his tie and stood up and turned to Discord who currently was fiddling with things he shouldn't. The Doctor cleared his throat and said in amusing voice "Please try not to break my TARDIS, She's been a very dear friend to me for a very long time."

Discord coughed awkwardly and pulled hoof back from the knobs he was tinkering with and rubbed against his chest "You said She, does that mean what I think it does?"

The last Time Lord only smiled "Her name's Sexy and she's my TARDIS, my oldest friend in all the Universes," he said proudly and ran a hoof over the console whilst giving the interior a loving glance.

"Did you wish really hard?" Discord said in a very serious tone.

"Oh shut up," was the Doctors reply and he gave the last Draconequus a firm punch to the shoulder only causing Discord to let out a laugh. The Doctor began to walk around the console while slowly dragging a hoof on the console while wearing a serious look on his face. Discord was silent as he watched the Time Lord's actions knowing that a serious fight was happening within his head.

The Doctor stopped and only smiled as he said to nobody in particular "So the Predator is needed once again," and only waved a hoof at Discord's slightly worried face. "When will you need me?" he simply asked.

Discord sighed and rubbed his chin and said "A few weeks time, maybe a month if we're lucky," The Doctor nodded and said "Well it won't be the first time I've gone to war."

Discord nodded solemnly and gave The Doctor a comforting pat on the shoulder before making his way to the exit. "Be ready," was all Discord said before exiting the TARDIS and gently closed the door. He payed no heed towards the still pouring rain and lightning that danced across the sky and made his way past a peculiar house that was in the shape of a Mailbox.

His black cloak clung to him like a second skin and Discord only carried on with his walk around Ponyville making sure all was well. He passed lit homes occupied with families and couples keeping each other warm while playing family games. He looked up at the still dark sky that continued to pour it's rain mercilessly down soaking everything. Every so often the sound of sounder could be heard as if explosions were filling the sky. Discord guessed that it was just a few hours from midnight and began to make his towards the Stable. He walked in silence still watching for any signs of trouble, he found none and was just a few streets away from his destination but saw that a certain Sugary decorated building was still open and decided to grab a quick snack.

He opened the door and shook the rain off him and made his way towards the register. A pink pony was currently in charge, a pink pony that Discord knew. The Element of Laughter known as Pinkie Pie was currently behind the register and when she noticed the cloaked stallion in front of her she smiled brightly and asked in her cheery voice "What can I get you sir?"

Discord smiled at the pink mare and asked in a calm voice "I'd like an order of six cupcakes please."

She smiled and said "Okie Dokie Lokie," and went in the back room. She came out a few seconds later with a small box with the delicious treats. "That'll be 13 bits," she said cheerfully.

Discord reached into his pockets with his magic and pulled out the correct amount of bits and placed them on the counter. Pinkie placed the box on the counter and put the bits in the register. Discord picked up the box with his magic and said "Have a nice night Miss," and began to walk to the door but was stopped by the pink mare.

"Won't you stay awhile Discord?" she asked in her still cheery voice. Discord turned around and gave Pinkie a pointed look and asked "Fourth Wall?"

She only smiled and shook her head "I never forget anypony I meet, never," she said calmly. Discord sighed but smiled all the same and made his way to the nearest table and sat down, placing the box on the table and took a cupcake out. He motioned for Pinkie to come over to which she happily obliged and went around the counter. She took a seat across from him and smiled at him, not suspiciously nor with any hostility, just calmly as if she were talking to an old friend.

Discord motioned for Pinkie to have a cupcake and took a bite out of him savoring the taste of the sugary treat that made his tastebud dance with bliss. Pinkie nodded in thanks and took a cupcake and popped the whole thing in her mouth and it almost looked like she didn't even chew. When she noticed Discord staring at her she smiled sheepishly and rubbed her mane causing Discord to let out a chuckle.

"So Discord, why are you back?" she asked bluntly. Discord smiled at her blunt question and answered "I guess you could call it business really, just some really cliche stuff. The fallen villain gets a chance to redeem himself by saving the ones he sought out to control basically. Very cliche really but I like cliches, they never get old."

Pinkie nodded sagely and asked "What exactly are you saving us from?"

"Just some Demons, Daemons, Monsters, and anything that can and will kill a pony if giving the chance. Oh but don't worry, I've been tasked with saving Equestria by a higher power."
"Your right that really is a cliche," she said while giggling.

Discord smiled wryly and let out a small chuckle and asked "So are you going to let the others know?"

Pinkie rubbed her chin thoughtfully and said "Nope," in a cheerful voice. "I don't see a reason to, if they need to know I'm sure you'll tell them yourselves, but have you told the princesses yet?"

Discord rubbed his face and said "I told one of the Princesses, Luna. I'll tell Sunshine probably tomorrow." He looked at his half eaten cupcake and tossed the rest inside his mouth and flicked his horn causing two tall glasses of chocolate milk to pop into existence. He pushed one of the glasses to Pinkie who gratefully and eagerly guzzled down the chocolate delight. Discord sipped his calmly but smiled softly watching the pink mare practically inhale her drink in mere seconds.

She reminded him of somepony when he was younger, back when things were so simple. She acted like this Pink mare back when he was still in his first few hundreds, carefree, charismatic, fun, and always laughing. Those were the old days back when life was so much simpler.

Pinkie noticed Discord staring at her in thought and asked "Do I have a chocolate milk mustache or something? while crossing her eyes trying to spot it. The sight was hilarious to Discord and he waved a paw "Theres that and I was just thinking how you remind me of someone I knew back in my younger years."

Pinkie tilted her head in confusion and asked "What happened to her?"

Discord smiled sadly and said "Time, Time and Society happened. She began to care what others said and started to treat me differently and before I knew it we were fighting. That fight became one of the biggest fights in Equestrian History. It took her and her sister to defeat me and soon I was forgotten in the sands of time. Nothing but a lawn decoration, no better then a lawn gnome."

Pinkie frowned and said "Are you talking about who I think you are?"

Discord nodded once "With your genius mind, most likely. Yes Celestia, Princess of the Sun was somepony very special to me but what ponies thought were more important to her then her friends and family."

Pinkie's ear dropped in sadness causing Discord to smile. He placed a paw on her crazy pink cotton candy looking mane and patted it. "Don't worry about it, that was the past and what happens in the past stays in the past."

Pinkie smiled once more and nodded not in agreement but as if she had made a promise to herself "Discord, after this is all done I'm going to throw the biggest party I've ever thrown just for you and when you and Celestia make up." she said with vigor and giddiness.

Discord raised an eyebrow in and asked "How do you know if Celestia and I will make up?"

Pinkie just looked at him and said triumphantly "Pinkie sense."

Discord looked at her with a blank look before bursting with laughter "Haha Pinkie I can't wait for what will become a party told throughout time."
Pinkie smiled and said "Me too."

Discord looked out a nearby window and noticed that the rain was beginning to slow. Discord stood up and tossed Pinkie another cupcake from the box and picked up the box with his magic "Its time for me to head out now Pinkie, till next time."

Pinkie smiled and simply waved a hoof and said "See you later Discord," before devouring the cupcake with ease and walked towards the door that Discord had just walked out of and flipped the sign that now read closed. She turned and walked towards the backroom that had a set of stairs that led towards her bedroom. She passed up the Cakes room and and the Cake twin's softly murmuring a "Goodnight." She reached her room and got into bed with Gummy who was already asleep on one of her pillows. He let out a quiet chirp and pinkie replied "Goodnight too Gummy," before drifting off to sleep into the land of dreams where she was always happy.

Author's Note

Yes finally an update. Yes i added the Doctor because the Doctor is AWESOME. I had to continually stop myself from adding Pinkamena in the story as well. It was very tempting to say the least but not yet, not this story. Next chapter, Celestia and Discord meet while Luna hides awkwardly~
