Insert Chapter Name Here
Previous Chapter"Hello, old friend." A man in a suit wearing a fedora said in the darkness.
"What! I killed you!" Leo shouted shaking his head.
"Yes, you killed me in your world, but," He said as his body change to a strange dragon creature with limbs of other animals. "I'm still alive in this world."
"What the fuck do you want with me!"
"Simple. I just need the most fearsome warrior to help me wipe this little happy world out, and you going to help me."
"What make you think I will!"
"You'll join me eventually, I still need to break out of the damn stone prison and the changelings are working on that."
"I'm never going to help you!"
"Oh." He said popping in front of Leo and grabbing him by the throat. "And what makes you think I can't?"
"I'd, rather die, then help you!" Leo choked out as he was throw to the ground.
"You fool, no matter how much you resist, you'll still end up as my warrior."
"I don't care what you say or what you do! You'll never! Never! Control me!"
"This is just becoming a bore," He said yawning. "Just remember one name, and it's Discord!"
He snapped his fingers and everything turned white.
Leo opened his eyes and was staring up at the ceiling thinking about the dream he had, he sat up and looked around the room.
"Your, not, controlling, me." Leo said softly as he got out of the bed. As he stood up he moved his neck to the left and a loud crack was heard.
"That always wakes me up." He said moving his head around. He walked downstairs and was about to leave but he heard Twilight call his name.
"Leo don't you want to stay for some breakfast?"
"No, I'm not that hungry this morning." He said opening the door. "I'm just going out."
"Discord, that name sounds way to familiar." Leo said as he walked though the streets of Ponyville, he stopped in front of a store that had a brush on the front of it. Leo walked inside and saw drawing materials and pictures .
"Hello!" A mare with red fur and black mane walked in from another room. "Welcome to 'Colored Brush' how may I help you?"
"Um, yeah I would like to get a drawing journal." Leo said walking up to the counter.
"One second." She said ducking behind the counter, Leo looked back around the room at all the drawing in the room.
"Here you go." The mare said pulling out a journal and handing it to him. "That'll be five bits."
"Um, your not at all freaked out about..." Leo said opening his arms to show that he was different.
"Oh, not at all." She said with a smile. "I saw you at that party and you seemed friendly enough, by the way my name is Brush Stroke, but most just call me Brush."
"Well, it's nice to meet you." Leo said taking the bit out of the bag he had around his waist and handed her five bits.
"I'll see you around." Brush Stroke said as Leo left the shop. Leo was walking down the streets and saw the park he was in yesterday, he climbed the tree and took his jacket off and a pencil out. He began to think of drawing to make as he twisted the pencil in his hands.
He took his headphones out and placed them on his head he selected a songs that had always got his thoughts turning, as he listened he thought about drawing one of the new friends he had met.
The song had reminded him so much of the bubbly pink girl so he decided that would be most fitting, he started by drawing he legs and from that to a skirt. Once he reached the torso of the area he blushed at what he was then doing, he shook his head continued to draw more or less as he slowly drew the chest area.
He finally got the whole picture set up and now started to work on the shading part of the picture, once he was finished he erased any stray mark that he had made and the picture looked perfect.
"Oh that looks awesome!"
Leo jumped and fell out of the tree and onto the dirt ground, he looked up at the branch to see Pinkie sitting there with a smile on her face.
"How long have you been sitting there?" Leo asked as he stood up taking his headphones off.
"Um, about when you started to draw the top portion of me." She said with a giggle. Leo felt his face slightly heat up as she said that and cleared his thought.
"Anyway, is there a reason your here right now?"
"Oh, right." She said hopping down off the branch with Leo's jacket on her shoulder. "I just needed someone to come taste test these cupcakes I made."
"Why not get some one else to do it." Leo said taking his jacket off her shoulder and putting on.
"Well, Twilight said she was going to help Spike and organize the books, Rainbow Dash is working on weather patrol, Rarity is working on a clothing order, Fluttershy is helping out with here animals, and AppleJack is working on the farm."
"Fine." Leo said with a sigh. Pinkie giggled and led him to Sugar Cube Corner, once they were inside Pinkie pulled Leo into the kitchen and she held a tray of blue cupcakes.
I wouldn't eat any of those if I were you.
Leo shook his head as he heard that voice from the dream he had.
"Here, I don't know if these are to sweet or not." Pinkie said handing a cupcake to him.
Get ready for a sugar rush.
Leo ignored the voice he was hearing and took a bite of the cupcake, as soon as he did he felt the sugar surge through him and he swallowed the cupcake. He blinked a few time and quickly ate the rest of the cupcake.
"Oh, are they that good?" Pinkie said with a giggle. Leo looked at her in confusion, she didn't talk in her hyperactive voice like usual instead she sounded like a normal person actually.
"It is." Leo said looking around, he felt different. He looked over the counter and saw that the ponies in the room were moving slightly slower.
"Pinkie, what was in that cupcake?" Leo asked in a nervous tone.
"Oh, they weren't to sweet were they?"
"Well, counting the fact that every thing moves slower for me, and you don't sound all that hyperactive." Leo said with a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"Oops, I may have put too much sugar in them." She said with a giggle.
"How much sugar?"
"Maybe, three, four, six cups of sugar."
"No wonder I feel energetic, you put a lot more sugar then there needs to be!"
"Sorry."
"Look, a sorry isn't going to fix this." Leo said with a sigh. "Just please watch how much sugar you use next time."
"Okie-Dokie Lokie." Pinkie said with a smile. "What should I do about these?" She said gesturing towards the cupcakes.
"Well, unless you want to have others have a hyperactive day then, yes." Leo said walking out of the store. He looked around the area and noticed that everyone around him was moving at a slow rate, he decided that if he was going to be some hyperactive freak he was going to sleep it off.

Rainbow Dash moved the last cloud into place and looked back at her weather patrol team.
"Good work every one, you all can head back now." She said waving a hand.
"See ya tomorrow Dash." Thunderlane said flying off. Cloud Chaser gave a wave to Rainbow Dash and flew off towards Thunderlane, Flitter let a annoyed sigh out and flew off on her own.
As Rainbow Dash flew back to her home she was throw off course by a black blur, she was spinning and crashed into a cloud. She stood up with a dazed look and quickly shook her head, she looked at the fading trail of the black blur and her left eye twitched.
"Is he trying to start a race?" She said with a chuckle, she quickly flew after him, as she started to catch up to him she saw him take a sharp turn to the left.
"How is he so fast!?" She shouted as she continued to follow him, as she followed him she could slightly see his face and saw he looked annoyed about something, she also notice that something was in his hands.
Before she could indentify what it was, he took another turn and landed on a cloud. Rainbow Dash let out a angry groan and flew to the cloud he was at.
"Hey what's the big idea!?" She yelled as she landed on the cloud, Leo turned around quickly and looked at her confused, he tilted his head to the left.
"You flew right by me causing me to crash into a cloud!" She shouted getting into his face. Leo opened his mouth to say something but he couldn't think of the words, actually he did know what to say he just couldn't because the cupcake Pinkie gave him made him hyperactive.
"Are you going to say something?!"
Leo took the drawing journal and opened it to a new page, he started to write down the words he would say, Rainbow Dash stood there with a angry look on her face. Leo turned the paper and showed her what he was trying to tell her.
'I can't talk.'
"Why can't you talk?" She said crossing her arms and staring at him, Leo then started to right down some more words.
'Pinkie gave me a sugar filled cupcake and now I'm as hyperactive as her.'
"You know what, I don't care!" She said shaking her head. "Just don't try that again!"
Leo nodded and watched as Rainbow Dash flew off looking back at Leo with a annoyed look, he waved at her as she left but she scoffed at his action and continued flying. Leo sighed and fell back onto the fluffy cloud and closed his eyes.
'How can Pinkie deal with a ll this energy in her body?' Leo thought as he raised his hand. 'It feels like I can keep moving, but I just want to sit here. Whatever.' He put his arms behind his head and slowly drifted to sleep.
'As a crazy poet once said "Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things that escape those who dream only of night."'

Leo opened his eyes and felt the sun shining on him, he sat up and and looked for the direction of the sun.
"Probably noon." Leo said standing up, he looked at his hand and moved it around. He felt normal now that the effects of the cupcake had worn off. Leo felt something vibrating in his pocket, he reached into his pocket and removed his phone. He flipped it open and answered it.
"Hello?"
"Hey Leo, it's Vinyl."
"Oh, hi Vinyl, what do you want?"
"I was just wondering if you wanted to hang out.
"Sure, I got nothing better to do."
"Awesome, just come over to my store."
"Okay, see ya then."
"See ya soon."
Leo pressed end call on his phone and sighed as he jumped off the cloud, he slowly glided down to the ground and landed with ease. He walked down the streets and saw the store in the distance, he reached walked in to see Vinyl bent over goin through the cash register.
"V-Vinyl?" Leo said blushing blushing, Vinyl turned around with a smile on her face.
"Hey Leo, got here in a hurry did ya then?" She asked with a smirk.
"I had nothing better to do so I came here." He said with a shrug.
"You and me both." Vinyl said with a laugh, she walk over and put a hand on Leo's shoulder. "How about we go get a drink, on me."
"Vinyl, I should be the one paying, I still own you for the P-Pod." Leo said holding up the device. Vinyl smiled and threw on her purple shades.
"Nah, I'm still buying for you." She said leaving the store, Leo quickly followed behind her with a small smile. "So have you drank before?"
"Well, only once." He said with a shrug.
"How strong was it?"
"Pretty strong stuff, I had one bottle and I was drunk."
"Huh, then the stuff at the bar won't cut it." She said pulling his arm.
"Wait, where are we going?"
"My place." She said smiling at him, she continued to pull him until they reached a white two story house. "Here we are." She said opening the door and letting him in. "Yo Tavi, I'm home and brought a guest."
"Who's Tavi?" Leo asked confused.
"She's my roommate, she's really nice once you get to know her." Vinyl said with a smile, soon a mare with a grey fur and black mane walk in, she seemed to have been wearing a common house outfit.
"Vinyl, it's nice to see that you brought such a..." She looked Leo up and down a bit. "Unique...pony..."
"Easy Tavi, he's cool." She said walking over to her and patting her back.
"I'm not going to hurt you or anything if that's what you think." Leo said with a shrug, Octavia blinked a bit and shook her head.
"I'm sorry, I'm being rude." She said walking up to him. "My name is Octavia, it's a pleasure to meet you." She said smiling as she stuck her hand out.
'Ho boy, another fancy one, meh there all not that bad.' He thought as he shook her hand. "Names Leo, pleasure to meet you as well."
"Got introductions out of the way? Great!" Vinyl said putting an arm over there shoulders over them pulling them closer. "Time to get wasted!"
"Ah, ah, ah, Vinyl." Octavia said pulling her head back and crossing her arms. "You honestly think I'm gonna get drunk just like that, you're simply out of your mind."
"Come on Tavi, we have an amazing guest here and you're telling me you just don't want a little?" Vinyl said with as she still had her arm over Leo's shoulder, he put on a small smile towards her.
"Ugh, fine." She said looking down at the ground. "Better not get weird."
"Pfft...when do things ever get weird." Vinyl said walking into what was a kitchen. "You two go wait in the living room."
Leo shruged and walked into the living room, Octavia slowly walked behind him.
"So...tell me about your self Leo..." Octavia said sitting on the couch, Leo sighed loudly and sat down not to close to her.
"Ugh...I really don't like talking about it." He said rubbing his head. "Just...ask Vinyl or something..."
"Oh...I'm sorry if I brought anything up." She said biting her lip and looking away. Soon Vinyl walked in with two bottles of wine.
"Let's get drunk!" She shouted raising a bottle.
"We're not, getting drunk." Octavia said annoyed.
"Whatever..." She said rolling her eyes as she tossed a bottle to Leo, he caught it easily and popped the cork.
"Here." Vinyl said pouring a glass for Octavia, she took it and sigh softly. "Cheers!"
"Cheers!" Leo and Octavia said taking a drink of their wine, and the drinking began.
