Even chaos beings need time to unwind

Becoming one with chaos

Previous Chapter

“Making you laugh? That’s it? Oook,” Scootaloo said as she approached and she proceeded to tell a joke.

“What do you call a three-humped camel?” Scootaloo asked.

WHAT?

“Pregnant!” Scootaloo said with a laugh… only to stop when he didn’t crack a smile “You're not laughing,” Scootaloo said.

I’VE HEARD IT BEFORE…

“What? Where!?” Scootaloo said.

FAILED, YOU GET THIRTEEN MORE TRIES

“Thirteen?... what happens when we-” Sweetie asked before suddenly the crushing presence enveloped them again and Chief D glowered.

MAKE. ME. LAUGH!

“Ok ok!” Sweetie said as she cleared her throat and approached “I have a funny song that always makes others laugh, here we go,” Sweetie said before she went on to sing “IIIII looooove… to watch my sister dance! She dances so bad, I think she’s looking to dance like a drunk dad! Hoo hoo she never will-” Sweetie sang in an almost off-key tone.

STOP STOP… THAT’S TERRIBLE.

“Huh?” Sweetie said offendedly.

TWELVE LEFT.

“...Not my fault, I’m not used to singing as a grownup, let’s try again,” Sweetie prepared again but AB stopped her.

“Let’s not waste anymore tries on tryin,” AB said before she took her turn.

“Come on choke choke choke chooagh!” Bart chanted before Discord began strangling him “Don’t jinx them! I’d rather not have to explain to their sisters why they were smighted!” Discord said.

“A-alright, next up is me and ah also have a song, it’s a silly country song so hold on to yer suspenders, Scoots get over here!” AB said before she started doing a square dance with Scootaloo.

“Whoooaaa!” Scootaloo cried.

“Ah’ve been down on tha farm buckin some trees, when an apple fell on me and ah said ‘hey!’ next thing ya know they all started dancing all around as far as ah could see! Ah said hey der-”

ELEVEN…

“Aw come on!” AB said.

“This guys a tough crowd,” Scoots said.

“Alright, yer turn,” AB said.

“Um, ok, how many lightbulbs does it take to change a lightbulb?” Scoots asked.

HOW MANY?

“None, it goes screw itself…. In!” Scootaloo laughed at that.

TEN

“Are you serious?!” Scootaloo sighed.

“We gotta try together, or else somethin bad’ll happen!” AB said nervously.

“Alright, get ready to be in stitches,” Scootaloo said before they performed a dance routine together.

HM?

In the middle of the routine, they would kick eachother and make faces before they finished with an overhead pose… which Sweetie missed and hit the ground.

“OW!” Sweetie said.

“Sweetie you messed up!” Scootaloo said.

“I’m not used to being an adult!” Sweetie said.

NINE LEFT, YOU ARE TRYING MY PATIENCE MORE THAN MY HUMOR…

“This guy has no taste!” Scootaloo said.

“What’ll we do?” Sweetie asked.

“Be as silly as possible,” AB said with determination.


Discord was facepalming as they were down to three.

“Give us a break! What kind of humor do you even like?!” Scootaloo demanded.

MAKE ME LAUGH

“Ok, we need to go serious mode here, we’ll injure ourselves, maybe he likes slapstick,” Sweetie said.

“Who doesn’t?” Scootaloo said before they jumped onto eachother and did a stacked up tap dance.

“Man you two are heavy!” AB said at the bottom as she tried to stay balanced.

“Shut up!” Scootaloo said.

And then the three proceeded to flip off eachother and land on the ground with a ‘oof!’

“Ow… tada?” Scootaloo asked.

….TWO LEFT

“You can’t be serious,” Scootaloo sighed.

“Please sir, can’t we have a few more tries?” Sweetie asked.

NO

“Alright, take two…” Scootaloo said before they whispered to eachother and then proceeded to do a comedy sketch where one pretended to be the mailmare and another pretended to be a dog chasing them.

….YOU HAVE ONE CHANCE LEFT, FAIL ONCE MORE I WILL ERASE YOU THREE POST HASTE.

“Y-you can't kill us simply because we didn't entertain you, that’s horrible!” Sweetie said.

“You’ve got no sense of humor! I even slipped on an icecube and you didn’t even chuckle” Scootaloo said.

“Ah agree, what does it take to make you laugh?” AB asked.

I CAN DO SO NOW IF YOU CONTINUE TO TRY MY PATIENCE! MAKE ME LAUGH!

The three felt his overwhelming power and shuddered.

“Come on girls… what can you do to survive?” Discord said.

“I-I don’t know!” Scootaloo began to tear up a little.

“We’ve done everything we can think of!” AB said.

“Please! I wanna go home! We never wanted to be chaos creatures” Sweetie said.

MAKE ME LAUGH OR DIE!

“This is all your fault Apple Bloom!” Scootaloo said.

“What?!” AB said offendedly.

“You had to be so curious about what Discord was doing! We should have known to leave well enough alone when it comes to him,” Scootaloo said.

“Wait a minute ah remember you bein on board with this too!” AB said.

“You talked me into it!” Scootaloo said.

“Girls!” Sweetie cried.

“AH DIDN’T THINK THIS WOULD HAPPEN!” AB said.

“Well it did, how are we getting out of this!?” Scootaloo demanded.

“Ah don’t know!” AB said,

“We’re going to die, all of us and all because we had to stick our noses where they didn’t belong! Like we always do!” Scootaloo said crying.

“AAAH!” AB tackled Scootaloo and the two struggled on the floor while Sweetie took cover on the floor

“Told ya they’d choke,” Bart said.

“Hmmph,” Demongo rolled his eyes.

…..

“GET OFFA ME!” Scootaloo yelled.

“NOT UNTIL AH-” Suddenly they rolled back… and Sweeties horn jabbed AB right in her cutie mark.

“YOW!” AB jumped into the air and landed on Scootaloo.

“OOOFF!” Scootaloo bucked out from the pain and accidentally kicked Sweetie in the face and they all rolled onto the ground and groaned.

………SNK…

“Huh?” They all glanced up at Chief D who had a smile.

SUCH ANIMOSITY BETWEEN FRIENDS AND A TRIPLE KNOCKOUT? I’LL SAFELY SAY YOU BROUGHT A SMILE TO MY FACE.

“....Is he a sadist?...” Scootaloo asked genuinely worried.

NOT AT ALL, BUT THAT ACCIDENTAL TRIPLE K.O WAS PLEASING TO WATCH, I DECLARE THIS INITIATION UNDERWAY.

Every creature clapped and cheered.

“We… we did it!” Sweetie cheered.

“Ah.. guess we did,” AB said with a sigh of relief.

“And here I thought this guy was humorless…” Scootaloo said.

“So we’re not dying today!” Sweetie said as they all got up.

I WAS NEVER GOING TO ACTUALLY KILL YOU THREE.

“....What?” They asked.

IT WAS ALL A TEST TO SEE HOW FAR YOUR RESOLUTION AND PENCHANT FOR CHAOS WERE AND WHILE YOU BRIEFLY GAVE UP I SEE THE POTENTIAL CHAOS YOU CAN CREATE.

“....So you were kidding, to test our mettle….” Sweetie said honestly restraining herself from hitting the all-powerful being for scaring them so thoroughly.

AND TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION IT WOULD HAVE MADE ME LAUGH IF YOU BLEW A GALAXY AWAY WITH A GIANT WOOPIE CUSHION LIKE BILL DID.

“Ooook he is kinda sadistic…” Scootaloo said wanting to leave.

“Like wow! They pulled it off!” UI Shaggy and Scooby cheered and everycreature followed suit and they proceeded to leave the area to get back to the other festivities.

“Still didn’t beat my record!” Genie from Aladdin said on his way out.

“Someone will someday,” Discord said before walking up to them “Alright, you’ve done it, now prepare yourselves,” Discord said.

“To go home?” Sweetie asked.

“No, for the initiation,” Discord said getting behind a bunch of sentient sandbags that weren’t there before.

“What do you-”

HACK… PTEW!

Chief D spat on all three of their faces, right on their forehead.

“Eww! Why did you-” Sweetie complained before their eyes widened.

Suddenly it was as though they had fallen away from reality and everything became nothing, and nothing became everything…

Information, power, and strength it filled them like a tidal wave of never-ending sensation.

Above it all they felt a form of enlightenment that transcended their mortal understanding.

Their limbs grew longer, their wings bloomed bigger their horns became longer, their manes grew bigger as well, their shadowy bodies became darker than black and their eyes regained pupils and irises but they were now golden yellow.

With a shout, the three unleashed a burst of chaos magic around them.

As they stood there staring off into space they eventually shook their heads and looked down at themselves.

“Well girls? How do you feel?” Discord asked.

“....Like all powerful beings,” Apple Bloom said.

“I feel… no know I can do anything now,” Sweetie said.

“This is awesome!” Scootaloo said.

Discord gave a happy smile and wrapped the three in a hug.

“Alright! Welcome to the Chaos Club!” Discord said.

“YEAH!” The three mares cheered.


As the three made their way towards the exit they were doing various chaotic things to test their new abilities.

AB was conjuring apples of different colors.

Scootaloo was somehow walking alongside the group now upsidedown, yet she seemed to be walking on a surface.

And Sweetie Belle was braiding her own mane, using her own mane.

Not to mention the three were trotting around the danger tiles with ease now.

“Well girls, how did you enjoy your stay? Discord asked as Scootaloo hopped down.

“We loved it,” Scootaloo said.

“Ah can’t wait ta show off mah new powers to AJ,” Apple Bloom said.

“And I can sing in any tone I want now! Watch!” Sweetie sang a melody but altered her pitch at will “I can finally go on to be a singer!” Sweetie said.

“Alright, you girls get on home then, and if they ask, you insisted this happen, the last thing I want is Fluttershy mad at me,” Discord said.

“Right, we’ll do that, well see ya!” the three walked out the door which opened in the wall and they left.

“.....” Discord turned and walked back to the bar and sat down beside Bill, The Elephant, and Prismo.

“So…. how the experiment turn out,” Bill asked sipping a martini.

“...Without a hitch!” Discord laughed.

“I feel bad those three will never live normal lives again,” Prismo said.

“They’ve come to accept that ever since their initiation, and besides, now that I know Chief D is willing to let some newcomers in to expand the chaos populace a little and is willing to perform an initiation with mortals now, its time… to initiate, plan chaotic friends,” Discord said pulling a list out of his ear and flipping it down and on this list, were names.

List of chaos friends:

Initial run:

Apple Bloom X

Scootaloo X

Sweetie Belle X

Intended targets:

Twilight Sparkle

Rainbow Dash

Applejack

Pinkie Pie

Rarity

Spike

Big Mac

And especially Fluttershy

“Da, and then they will be your friends in chaos, and you can finally marry Fluttershy,” The Elephant said as he drank his wine with his trunk.

“Exactly!... Though I wonder of the ramifications of this, I do hope they accept this like the CMC has,” Discord said.

“Ah don’t lose your will now Discord, messing with mortals is what we do,” Bill said.

“...Indeed,” Discord said getting up and stretching out “Welp, gotta get moving, operation Chaotic Friends isn’t going to implement itself,” Discord said as he walked off to the exit.

“Lookin forward to it!” Bill waved him off.

Discord made his way outside and onto the motorcycle and he put the helmet on before driving off.

To do as Twilight does.

And make friends…
