Chapter 3
Discord's Maze

I wake up to Discord poking my nose multiple times. "Honk, honk, honk!" The rest of my friends are watching attentively. "Okay, okay, I'm awake!" I yelp, causing Discord to jump back. I get up, with the support of Katrina and Heaven. "Thanks, guys..."

Ali jumps in front of me. "How was it, how was it?!"

"Very awkward," I reply. "There were feathers and marshmallow goo.... If I mentioned anything else, you would act like a pervert."

"So... now what?" Lily mumbles.

Discord thinks, but only for a moment. "Who here wants to help me take over the world?" Well, that escalated quickly.

Ali is the first to raise her hand, at a very fast speed. Duh, this is the one obsessed with fire. I slowly raise mine, curious of what events may happen next, because I'm awesome. Katrina grins and raises her hand. Then Heaven, Lily, and finally Sandy.

"Good, good." He grins. "But I don't just take anyone in. I think we should play a little game first, hm?"

Silence followed by a couple of smirks.

"What's going on down there?"

My eyes widen. That's my mom's voice. "Oh no..."

-BLEEPITY BLEEP BLEEP MOTHER BLEEP BLEEP-

"What?" Discord seems to be a bit confused.

"That's my mom! She'll freak if she sees you!" My friends all nod their heads in agreement.

Katrina raises her hand. "I suggest we get out of here, and quick."

Too late. My mom is coming down the stairs. AHHHHHH SPAZZ POWERS, ACTIVATE!

I sprint and tackle Discord, making us land behind the couch. "Sorry," I whisper. I get up on my knees and peek my head over the couch, where my mom is staring at me. I must resist the urge to go completely fangirl.

"Are you okay?" She asks.

"I'm fine," I lie. "I'm just being a ninja." LOLOLOL DISCORD IS BEHIND THE COUCH

"Okay, spazz," she laughs. "I was just making sure everybody down here is okay." She calmly walks back up the stairs, unsuspecting of anything.

The instant she's gone, Discord throws me off of him, gets up, and brushes himself off. "Quite the interesting turn of events, ay? Anyway... let the games.... begin!" With a raise of his paw, all of us fall down holes randomly placed in the ground. "And may the odds be ever in your favor~" HE DID NOT JUST REFERENCE TO THAT.

-----

I now look around to see that the holes are transparent, like glass. I can see everybody else. All of their expressions are flat and calm, as if they were sleeping. I just smile to myself. "So, guys..." I'm trying to break the silence from awkwardness. My eyes finally focus and I see... we're all ponies! And everybody actually is asleep but me. How many times are people gonna fall unconcious today?! "HEY, EVERYPONY! WAKE UP! GET YOUR PLOTS MOVING!"

Everyone lazily opens their eyes.

"What?"

"Plots? What are you talking about?"

"Where am I?"

"Guys," I yell. "We're freakin' ponies, man!"

A bunch of grins follow. Except for Ali, because she is always sleeping when she shouldn't be.

"Surprised, aren't you? This game is going to be so much fun!" Discord giggles. I can't see him, because it's pitch black in here besides the tubes, but he is probably in the distance somewhere.

Let's see here. Ali and Heaven have wings. Lily and I have horns. And Katrina and Sandy are earth ponies.

Ali's finally up. "Hey! Where am I?! Get me out of here!" She's currently slamming her body against the glass continuously while we cheer her on.

BOOOOOM. I think Ali broke through.

After a little bit of investigating, I know that she didn't get out, but now we are at the bottom of the holes, which are now combined all together into one. It only goes foward from now on.

After a bit of wandering aimlessly, singing random songs (Well, mostly just 'Discord' and 'Daddy Discord') about our favorite spirit of chaos and disharmony, I hear a huge tidal wave of rushing liquid behind us.

"Guys," I yell. "Do you hear that?"

"It sounds like..." Katrina begins.

"CHOCOLATE MILK!!!!!" Ali screams.

I resist the unbearable urge to turn around and try to gallop the hardest I can. It's hard walking as a pony when you've been a human for over thirteen years.

Of course, it's nearly impossible to outrun any of Discord's creations. We are now being consumed by the sticky, chocolatey goodness. Discord floats by on a raft. "This isn't even the beginning," he cackles. "Have fun!" The raft grows a motor and speeds away, leaving us in the river of chocolate.

Good thing I know how to swim. I dive down, where there are al sorts of things floating around, from oranges, to furniture pieces made of swiss cheese. I even bump into a wooden box, labeled 'Screwball's Music Box'. I'll keep this, because I'm obsessed with the freakin' song.

I speed forward, bumping into Katrina, who is somehow currently playing Go Fish with Heaven. "Watch it, Candace!" she laughs.

"Oh, thank goodness you guys are alive! Is everypony else safe?"

"Yeah, Ali is flying above keeping a lookout, and Lily and Sandy also found a raft. Go find them, we'll catch up."

I dive once again. I just realized something. The chocolate milk doesn't even burn my eyes, thanks Discord! I see Lily and Sandy are on a raft, watching Howl's Moving Castle, eating popcorn!

"Hey, guys! Mind if I join you?" I climb onto the raft.

"Hey Candace." Ali is flying beside us, drinking the milk with a giant swirly straw, seeming to enjoy it.

"Ali?" I warn. "Aren't you supposed to be keeping watch for any incoming dangers?"

"I got tired and thirsty. Anyways, there's marshmallow mixed with this! It's amazing! Try some!"

I jump into the stream, drinking up whatever is in front of me, milk, marshmallows, whatever. In the middle of sweet paradise, I feel some sort of tune coming from below me. I reach down to the source and find out that I have pockets. Well, at least I learned something new today! I pull out my cellphone. Well, I didn't even know that was there! Also, It's a good thing I have a touch screen phone! I use the tip of my hoof to slide the answer button. "Hello?" I hold the phone to my ear.

"Candace, is that you?" It sounds like Brooke.

Time for another friend description! This one has darker blonde hair, being somewhat short and very straight. She also wears glasses. The most significant things about her are that she has a bean-sized birthmark under her left eye, and that she always tries to see the logic in things, somewhat like Lily. But logic is stupid. Discord will have to fix that.

Okay, back to reality. "Yeah, it is. What do ya need? I'm a bit busy at the moment." I have to use my free hoof to hold onto Lily and Sandy's raft.

"Turn on the news. Now."

"I'm afraid I can't. Can you explain?"

"Discord."

"Oh-em-gee! That's crazy!" I'm such a lier today, lawl.

"Apparently he landed in front of Mengelson's and threatened to turn a bunch of people into marshmallows, then he caused chaos everywhere! Someone even set something on fire!"

"Oh my!"

"I know, right? Even more, he headed off towards your house, mumbling something about 'insanity mixed with nostalgia'."

"..."

"Are you okay, or are you not telling me something?!"

"Okay, I'll tell you the truth." I let out one of my signature fangirl squeals. "Discord came to our house and knocked me unconcious, then showed me a memory that was taken away from me on my tenth birthday, three years ago. When I woke up, Discord sent us into this giant tube where we are currently being washed away by chocolate milk mixed with marshmallow goo. Also, we're ponies! It's so much fun!"

"Candace, have I ever told you how fast you talk."

"Yes. This is about the sixteenth time now."

"Back to what I wanted to say. I know you really like Discord, you think he's awesome and everything, but I want you to be careful. He's and immortal being, with enormous power. Please, don't get hurt."

"No worries! My insanity will keep us covered!"

*BOOP* The call ends. I slip my phone into my so called 'pocket' and continue to swim around, drinking the random when Ali stops me. "Did you seriously say oh-em-gee?" she cringes.

"Yes. Also, that reminds me!" I look up into the nothingness above us. "HEY DISCORD!!"

"WHAT???!!!"

Oh, I wasn't expecting him to actually answer. Oh well.

Ali interrups us. "Wait, he was listening in the whole time?"

"I guess so. I didn't even think he would answer though, I was just joking."

"So, what am I now, chopped liver?" The spirit himself poofs in front of us, sitting indian-style, on a bar made of... lemonade? How does that even work?!

"It turns out you were on the news a few minutes ago. Great job, now we're gonna be chased down by the FBI."

He lets out an exaggerated, "Oh, my! How did I not notice that?" and gives me an, 'are-you-effing-kidding-me' face while crossing his arms. "Look, as long as I have magic, we can't even get caught, no matter how much we try. Chaos forever! How lovely!" he clasps his paw and claws together.

I gasp. "Wait.... my mom is going to come downstairs and find out we aren't there!" I'm freaking out now. Seriously, my mom is a very scary person. "She's going to freak and I'll be grounded! How do we-"

Discord simply brings me into his grasp and puts his his paw over my mouth. "Why must you worry so much? Being a worry wart is no fun at all. Just calm down~" He begins to... pet my mane? If things couldn't get more awkward...

OHMYGODFANGIRLMOMENTHOLYCRAPDISCORDISSOHOOOOTTT

I calm down and inspect the music box I got not to long ago. It's very colorful and filled with chaos. Seems right for a box made for Screwball. I feel a strange vibe coming from this box... is it directed towards me? Nah, that's silly! My nerdy fangirl thoughts are taking over!

"What's that you got there?" Discord gives off a tiny smile and takes the box from me.

"Hey, give that back! I found it first!" I try to stand up on two hooves and fail to even get a glimpse of the box.

"Nuh-uh, it's actually my daughter's. Thank you for finding it though, I've been looking for it everywhere. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some chaos to wreak." he snickers and disappears in a flash, and it starts raining lemonade.

I sigh and get back to swimming when I bump into a table... but Katrina and Heaven aren't on it! I frantically swim around, trying to find some sign that they're there.

"Candace?"

I look up to see Heaven carrying Katrina in midair. "Thank goodness you're alive!"

"Of course we are. What, you didn't think we couldn't swim or something? Discord was right, you're such a worrywart sometimes." Heaven lowers herself and Katrina into the liquid. "Anyway, the table we were playing on just sunk for no reason. So we came here." Heaven takes a dive and ends up tasting the chocolatey marshmallow (Which now has a taste of lemon).

"Okay! I'm going to go check stuff out and make sure we're safe. Don't follow me."

"Alright," Ali snickers. "We won't." She winks to Katrina and Heaven.

They're obviously going to follow me.

I speed off the fastest I can. Not too long later, I get a sinking feeling. I swim downwards and find... a giant hole, sucking everything in. So, this is where we end?

I don't think so. I have a feeling the game hasn't even begun yet.

I go back to try and inform everyone when it turns out they DID follow me! Even Lily and Sandy came along. "Okay, guys," I'm trying to make them all shut up. "GUYS!!!" They all look at me as if I did something scary. Except for Ali, because she doesn't give a flying -BLEEP-. "Okay. We are about to go down a giant drain in the ground. I suggest we get into a small group, to make sure we don't get separated at the beginning of the game.

Sandy raises a hoof. "So... this isn't it?"

"Of course not. Let's get grouped up. Lily, you can get into the center, since you hate hugs." I laugh.

"Oh, joy."

We all group around Lily into a giant hug, when I get that sinking feeling again. "Guys, here it comes... INCOMING!!!!"

FWOOSH. We are all swept inside of the hole, quick as a whip. All of the liquid is gone, but we are all still falling very slowly. I let out a bubbly-sounding, "Everypony okay?" Everyone nods. *SPLASHHHH* All of us are now on sturdy, dirt ground, but covered in... some sort of clear liquid, feels like water, but it tastes like bananas. Seems legit.

After more investigations, I come to the conclusion that we are in a hedge maze. How original. More hedges sprout out of the ground, separating us.

Oh my, how interesting! "Gee, Discord, how less original can you get?" I grin. A giant pie falls on top of me. That explains enough. I'm struggling to get the pie tin off of me when Discord starts to explain the rules. "That's how much. Now, onto the rules. No flying and-"

"Yeah, yeah, we get it. No magic."

*SHING*

*SHING*

My horn is gone, and even though I can't see anypony else, I'll assume that Lily's horn is gone too, along with Ali and Heaven's wings.

"Also," Discord adds, "A bit of a twist!"

"Wait!" Ali yells. She grabs a piece of paper and a red crayon, draws some fire on it, and ties it to her flank.

I finally get the pie tin off of me. Holy crap! A giant lion's paw! I wonder who's paw that could possibly be! It reaches over to Lily and taps her on the head, then Ali's. Or at least that's what I'm assuming.

"Ow, what the -BLEEP- was that?!"

My eyes widen. Is that seriously Lily's voice? Uh oh, this won't end well, I promise.

"Owwie...."

And that was Ali. Oh boi.

Next, Discord's paw reaches to Heaven. In less than a few moments, she's.... drunk. "Holy crud, all of the walls are spinny, where are we again?" All of her words are slurred; I can barely even tell what she's saying.

"And one more thing... Ductape! Because that solves everything!"

Katrina is swung into the air. "Hey, I'm barely even talking! If you should put ductape over anypony's mouth, it should be Candace's! She-" And then ductape was put over her mouth.

"My point has been proved. Any more smart-alecy comments?"

Silence.

"Good! Let the games.... begin!" He is gone in a flash and there's more lemonade rain. I have no idea where I'm going now and I'm a little bit scared. I gallop at top speed and I come across my first split road, with two signs pointing in different directions.

The one pointing left says 'Chocolate Covered Bedbugs' and the one pointing right says 'Memory Lane'. Not wanting to take either direction, I attempt to climb over a hedge.

"Now, Candace, why must you try to cheat?" He picks me up by the tail and tosses me into the path marked 'Memory Lane'. I guess the only way I can go now is forward.

-----

Sandy

I slowly trot through the maze, constantly trying to keep my new dark pink bangs out of my face, looking at the random scenery, floating pianos, and giant slices of chocolate cake.

But then I notice that there are materials on the ground as well! Candace might want me to keep some of these for later, I think to myself. I pick up some rope into my mouth, hoping that it'll be useful.

I continue to trot along until I nearly trip over something white and fluffy. It's Candace's cat, Kitty! I spit the rope out of my mouth. "Kitty! What are you doing here?"

"Meow." She calmly walks away and I follow her picking up the rope. Knowing how random this is, she might be here to show me something! We stop at a trail made of rainbows lined with gumballs. "Meow." Kitty walks away. Well, I guess I might as well. I walk along the 'road' until I hear some unsteady breathing.

"No..."

I think someone's crying! I gallop faster until I find a discolored earth pony crying to herself, in a crouched position. I spit out my rope. "Candace!" I yell. I sit next to her. "What happened?"

"NO!!" She screams. "GET AWAY! YOU WOULDN'T CARE! NO ONE DOES!" She continues to sob loudly to herself.

"Candace." She looks at me. I put on a stern face. "I am serious. I want you to tell me what happened. We can't get anywhere if you don't."

She looks at me with reddened eyes. "I'll tell you, but you can't tell anyone. Do you understand? Good. It all started when..."

----
Candace

I walked down 'Memory Lane' until I got another sinking feeling. But this was no drain. There were.... memories. Bad ones. Terrible ones. I needed to get away. Fast.

I galloped the hardest I could until I tripped. Over a box. My curiosity was peaked; I had to open it. Maybe there was the answer I needed. I open the box....

"Boo!" Discord popped out, laughing to himself. "Aww, someone seems to be scared. You might wanna run before those memories get to you."

I stood there, shaking. He was mocking me, I knew it. I couldn't move because he wouldn't let me. Tears started to come out of my eyes.

"Hmm, looks as if you're crying. That's too bad, considering the fact that no one cares."

I bit my lower lip. I couldn't take it. I couldn't cry in front of him, although it was too late. Tears were coming out of my eyes. I usually didn't cry like this, unless it was a really bad day. But it wasn't just the mocking. The memories had caught up to me by this time, and all I could think of was conflict.

My parents fighting to the point where they would throw stuff.

My dad stealing money from my mom and taking drugs.

The.... bedbugs. The ravaged my home during my summer transitioning into 7th grade. My mom's fiance got bit all over the place, and there were bumps everywhere.

"Your mom leaves you at home just so you could do all of her chores, she yells at you when it's not 100% perfect. Your parents fight constantly, leaving you in your room to avoid them, and to this day, they still wonder why."

Anger. So much of it boils inside of me.

"Even on Christmas your parents you fight, yell, and scream at each other just to get their way. You'd end up being about two hours late just because they wanna be right."

"Hay, your mom even considered keeping the infested apartment you were in just so she could save money, and convenience herself and nobody else."

"..."

"Doesn't that just make you so mad?" he chuckled.

My color drained almost instantly.

"I'll just let that sink in a bit." He flew away to go make more chaos against the other girls.

-----
Sandy

"Oh my goodness, Candace, that's terrible."

She continues to sob to herself.

Sandy....

I open my eyes. Wait, my eyes were closed?

...

I think I have the solution.

"Candace."

"What do you want?" she sniffles.

"Open your eyes. That wasn't real."

"What are you talking about?" she says with and annoyed tone. "They're already open."

"Open them. Now."

She looks at me and opens her eyes. "Wha... how does that even work?"

"Candace," I inform her, "What Discord said was a mirage. He was tricking you. He never actually said that."

She gives me a confused look.

"You brought that on yourself."

"That's beside the point. What he may or may not have told me was true. No one cares. No one did. And nobody ever will. Do you get what I'm saying? Just leave me alone now. I've had enough of your 'help'."

I turn her around brashly and look her straight into the eyes. "You think you have it hard? Just because your mom has you do a few chores? Well, take a look from someone else's perspective for a moment. There are kids all around the world who are starving and abused, and other children who are diseased and can't even walk or won't even last past their thirteenth birthday. Man up, Candace."

The color slowly returns to her body. "Well dang."

"It's fine, Candace," I smile. "Right now, we have a game to win. Let's go look for everypony else."

She grins and stands on all four hooves. "Alright!" she grins.

I put the rope back in my mouth and we gallop like there's no tomorrow.

-----

Discorded Lily

"HECK YEAH! LET'S DO THIS!" I yell, even though I already had gone a long way. I just stopped to eat an apple that was floating in midair.

You probably want to know what it's like being discorded, right? Well, basically, it's just like watching yourself (You are currently inside their head, seeing everything from their eyes,) being the opposite. You sit on a leather couch while you watch the person that's replaced you do... whatever. There's even free refreshments!

I continue on and sprint my way through the maze, until I run into something. "HEY, WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING-"

"Ouch," Ali picks herself up and brushes herself off. "I'm very sorry, I'll just be on my way the-"

"HAHAHA, IT'S FINE! STICK WITH ME, AND YOU'LL GO FURTHER THAN YOU EVER IMAGINED! YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE I'M GREAT, AND I'LL SURPASS GOD!"

"Oh... okay." Ali steps towards me.

"TAKE MY TAIL!"

"Okay..."

I sprint like I never sprinted before, dragging Ali with me.

"Lily, ouch. Why do we have to go so fast?"

"DISCORD'S GOING TO PAY FOR DOING THIS TO YOU, SO WE'RE GOING TO BURN HIM WITH.. FIRE!! HAHAHA!"

"Oh, my, are you sure that won't hurt?"

"IT DOESN'T MATTER, BECAUSE I'M GOING TO SURPASS GOD, THAT'S WHY!"

"Oh, okay."

You'd think that this arrogance will get me into some trouble right? Well... you're absolutely right! I fall down a decent-sized hole with Ali.

"HEY, WHAT THE -BLEEP- WAS THAT FOR?! WHO ARE YOU, SHOW YOURSELF!"

Discord lands in front of me. "Why hello there, arrogant child? What brings you here?"

"You... you made me fall down a hole with this kid!!" I point my hoof to Ali.

"Oh my, how terrible!" His words are dripping with sarcasm. "There is a way I can get you out though." He gives a little smile.

"How?"

"Duel me."

"Heh, heh... NO PROBLEM! I CAN SURPASS GOD! THIS'LL BE EASY!"

"Well, if you wanna surpass God, you'll have to get through this guy first!" He tosses me... a foam sword. Made of marshmallows. Seems legit.

I give Discord a Double-you-tee-eff look and say, "What? How do I defeat you with this?"

"Silly Lily, you don't understand! You need to be just a bit more creative."

I roll my eyes. "Okay, whatever. Let's get this over with, I wanna get out of here."

"I'm scared," Ali whispered. She crouches down and sits in a corner. Wait, holes don't have corners.

----
Heaven

Whoa, dude, is this thing on? Anyway, hey, bro, I'm Heaven. You know, the filly who got drunk due to the powers of Discord. I'm really dizzy. I can't even think clearly. I've been crashing into walls the whole time, and probably haven't even got past the first split end.

Maybe I should just quit taking my time and run like a drunkard. Hey, that sounds like a great idea! I stumble around, trying to get on my hooves correctly. There. I try to get my hooves going in the correct order, but I keep failing over. "HOW DO I GET OUT OF THIS -hic- -BLEEP- THING?! AHHHHHHH"

I just slam into more walls until I accidently crash through one of the hedge walls. Well, they're plants, I guess that makes sense. Wait, this is Discord! That doesn't make any- Oh... I see what he did there.

My hooves hit some sort of bouncy material. I think it's a trampoline! Too bad I can barely see, it's too blurry. Bounce, bounce, bounce.

"Heaven?"

"Heaven, where are you?"

"I -hic- ugh, blurdadlkfnrei.... where are you? God, brrreing drunk! Sucks..."

Two funny looking blobs standing in front of me. One of them is dark purple, and the other one is light blue.

"Heaven! Can you hear me?" It sounds like Candace, but I can't tell.

"Whoa! You... blobs, can spreak English? Holy moley, quit a -hic- maze we got here, huh?"

"Oh, my, Heaven, you must be worse off than we thought! Can you see us?"

I'm squinting my eyes. "Uuurgh... Not really, you look like blobs, and I kind of -hic- want some apple juice."

"Good enough. Heaven, follow us. We need to get out of here before someone starts crying again."

"Candace? You er... -hic- crying? What hapen..."

"Just come with us. We-"

"Ohohoho, you think you'll get out of here that easily? After you got this far? I don't think so." That voice... I really don't know. I think it was Discord's but I can't tell. Everything's too blurry...

Both entrances slammed shut.

"By the way, I got your friend Lily. Too arrogant for her own good, she was."

Sandy is growling very loudly. I can't see her facial expression, but I'm pretty sure it's full of rage. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?! GIVE HER BACK!!!"

"Hmm.... nah. By the way, this is a good test for your mental strength. Have fun!"

We hear a -SHING- sound and I can hear moving stone.

I start moving in circles and breathing heavily. "The- the -hic- walls... THEY'RE CLOSING IN ON ME!!! BLARGHALKJDFOINE-"

"Heaven, calm down! We can do this! We just gotta find out another entrance..."

-----
Candace

I look around frantically, hoping to find some sort of hole to crawl through before we're squished. But then... I hear a familiar tune. Screwball's Music box! Why does that tune keep popping up?! It's beginning to get a bit overused. Oh well, I'm a bit obsessed with it anyway.

Anyway, I follow the music to fine an orange-sized hole, where the tune comes out of. I trot casually over to it and try to look inside it, but the light! It burns my eyeeeees! "Ouch!" I shout, stumbling back.

Sandy catches me. "Candace, what's wrong?"

I look at her. "I think I found our way out." I'm pointing my hoof over to the small hole in the ground.

"Are you sure we'll be able to fit in there?"

"Only one way to find out." I walk over to the hole and Sandy follows while dragging Heaven by her tail.

"OoooOOOOWWW, THAT -hic- HURTS!"

"Well, then," Sandy yells, "Grab my tail, ya little wimp." she giggles. Heaven chomps on her tail and begins to... chew?

"Mmm, hay...."

Sandy rolls her eyes and quietly steps next to me. "Candace, the walls are still closing in, we need to get in. quickly."

"I know, I know, let me figure something out." I try fitting my hoof in like a puzzle piece.

I hear a vaccuming noise and my whole leg is being sucked in. "Ahhh! Guys, hold on! We're in for one heck of a ride!"

FSHOOOOWWWWWWAAA

The only thing still outside of the hole is my head. Since Sandy is connected to my tail, and Heaven is connected to hers, they're already inside.

The hedges rustle, and out of it pops... Ali! Of all ponies. "Candace, Sandy, Heaven where are you? Oh... I need your help!"

"Ali! Over here!"

She looks at me and gleefully hops over. "What can I do for you?"

"Ugh, this is so embarrassing.... Ali, grab my bangs."

"Okay...." He teeth chomp onto my bangs. This is kinda awkward. No, scratch that. This is REALLY awkward.

"Here we GOOOO" Both Ali and I are inside the hole now.

"Candace, are you here yet?" Sandy!

"Yeah! Ali's here too!"

"Oh, hello..." Ali meekly replies.

Heaven is thrashing everywhere. "Ahh, I can't -hic- see! WAHHH"

"Calm down Heaven! We'll be out of here soon enou- Oof!"

We all fall back onto the hard, dirt ground, landing on top of somepony else. We hear groaning coming from the bottom. "Mmmrrrf. MRRF!"

We all get off of each other. It turns out we landed on Katrina! But she doesn't seem too normal. Her mane is all matted with mud, and there a scrapes all over her body, but nothing is bleeding, so that's good.

"Mmmf, mrff mrrf merf"

"Hold on a sec, Katrina." Sandy walks towards her and rips the ductape off.

"OOOWWWW!!!!"

"Terribly sorry, Katrina, but we couldn't understand you."

"What I was trying to say is that since I couldn't talk or do anything interesting, Discord made me go through a really annoying obstacle course. I got covered in mud and there were these giant colorful birds shooting themselves at me with slingshots. It sucked."

The giant doors in front us slide apart and Discord is standing there. "Welcome, girls, to the arena."

Aw, -BLEEP-.

[B-Rabbit]

That was amazing! Candace you wrote it just wonderfully! I never new you were so great at writing stories! I'm so proud of you! If you write more please tell. Also you don't have to but maybe by acsident we get brought somewhere with you and discore and we find out you were friends and you know we get closer maybe not everyone like ali dosen't have to be included but the main 5 of us should be like ;Lily, katrina, hevan, you and me! mainly cause ali is not the type to get Emotional. like I said just a sugestion




P.S Again great Amazing !

[ChocolateMilkCannon]

Hey, everypony, chapter 3 is finally finished! go ahead and give it a read!

[ChocolateMilkCannon]

Chapter 4
Welcome to the Arena

We all slowly walk inside, taking note of the scenery. Well, it's mostly me noting the scenery.

This arena... It seems oddly familiar somehow. It looks the same as the one from three years ago, but a little more run down. The audience is obviously different, but they all seem excited.

The most noticeable ponies I see in the audience are... Pinkie Pie!

And....

Princess Celestia! It can't be! No way! HOLLLEEEEYYYY CRRRRRUUUUDDD

I look at Katrina and whisper, "Dude. Princess Celestia is in the audience."

"No way." She looks into the audience and gasps. "Holy crap."

"Actually, that's Princess Trollestia, the one who sent me here in the first place. She's a huge jerk. Not to mention a stalker." Says the sadist.

I ignore him and continue walk along, with awkward silence filling the air. Even the whole audience mostly made up of random background ponies is completely speechless.

All of us are almost at the center when I hear a deafening BOOM from up above.

"Ugh, geez. Wait, what? It broke? Again? GOD DANG!"

In front of us poofs a certain announcer pony. This pony... is the same pony from three years ago.

Holy crap.

He turns to me and holds a microphone in front of my face. "So, Candace, does it feel great to be back or what?"

"... I'll just say.... Well, that escalated quickly."

"Hey, everypony, lets hear it for Candace!"

Cheering all over the place, screaming, and chanting. Am I really that famous?"

"Candace!"

I look to the source of the voice. "What is it, Pinkie?"

"Take this!" She handed me a pink box with blue and yellow balloons all over it. "It might help you in your battle against Discord!"

"Well okay then," I smile. I take the box in my mouth and bury it.

Pinkie Pie looks confused.

"I don't want Discord to find it," I whisper. "Like you said, I may need it."

She smiles and nods, and I walk back to the center.

Discord snaps his talons. Everypony gets their wings and horns back, and Lily, Ali, and Heaven seem to be back to normal.

"Yea! I can see!" Heaven yells.

"WHOOO, -BLEEP- YEAH!" Ali screams.

"I apologize for my past behavior, I hope I didn't offend anypony," Lily speaks quietly.

Discord turns around. "Enough of the chit-chat, let's begin. This game will consist of three rounds. The first round is to get the emo kid-"

"It's Lily," I face-hoof.

"Whatever. Untie her, and we will continue on to the second round where we will introduce the health bars." He snapped his talons again and full, red bars appeared over our heads. "In this round we will-"

I hear very loud munching coming to my left. Ali is eating her health bar. I begin to laugh uncontrollably, because you know what? I think my insanity has gotten to me.

Discord flies over to Ali and swipes the bar out of her mouth. "Tsk, Tsk, less than two minutes undiscorded and you're cheating.... I like that."

With a smug smile on his face, he throws the bar into the audience and it explodes into a bunch of bananas, half of it getting all over Twilight Sparkle. She sighs and gets back to the book she was reading, which also has a healthy amount of banana goo on it.

"It tasted like chocolate," Ali complained.

"And then the third round!" Discord booms.

He never explained the second one. I wonder if he did that on purpose.

"You get to fight..." Discord pauses.

"Pause for dramatic effect," Ali whispers.

"This cute, adorable bear!" And up poofs... AN URSA MAJOR.

Everypony tries to keep their cool while there's adrenaline rushing through me.

"Just kidding!" He laughs. "You guys are so much fun to tease! Defeat me, and you'll get a prize."

"What is it?!" Heaven asks.

"It's a secret," he giggles. "If I told you, that would be no fun at all."

"So.. now wha-"

"AND SO THE GAMES BEGIN!" Discord shouts in his best 'Canterlot Voice'. Which is very loud.

Discord magics away and Lily is abruptly lowered down by a rope, and now she's hanging upside down. "Ouch," she mumbles.

I don't get it.

"Lily!" Sandy yells. She gallops over to her and jumps up, biting the rope. But soon after, she is zapped back by electricity, and falls to the ground.

I cringe. "Heaven, can you go check on her?"

"Sure..." she sits by her body. "She's alive! I can hear her breathing!"

"Okay!" I yell. "Back to business! We need to make a plan, so let's gather into a random circle!"

We gather into a rather stupid looking blob of a circle, but that's good enough. "OKAY, BROS!" I yell.

"Hey, calling people bros is my job!" Heaven argued.

"Yup, and calling ponies bros is mine," I counter. "Anyway, it's pretty obvious that the rope is magic,"

"Well, duh," Ali interrupts.

"Can you let me talk?!" I yell.

"Nope.avi," She responds. "Why think when you have a magic axe that I found in the maze?!" She yells. She pulls it out from behind her and swings, nearly chopping Katrina's head off.

Katrina tackles Ali. "Give me that. Now.."

"No!" Ali screams, throwing the axe with her mouth. It chops straight through the rope Lily's tied to, and Katrina gallops over there just barely fast enough to catch her.

Discord appears, barely able to keep a straight face. "Now, we- OOMPH-"

Katrina had swung the rope with Lily still on it, and knocked Discord over in one blow to the side, the ponies laughter escalating, especially Pinkie Pie's. He rolls his eyes and eases himself back up, with ease. Buh.

"Now to the second round." He waltzes up to me. "I think we have a bit of catching up to do, Candace."

Aw crap.

He leans forward and looks me straight in the eyes, and I can hear Ali gradually whispering something very offensive, which ticks me off.

I get up, walk away, and look Ali straight into the eyes. "If you say that again, I'll-"

"-BLEEP-" (You don't wanna know what she actually said.)

I punch her in the face with my hoof. "I told you not to say it."

She tackles me. "You think you're gonna pick a fight with me?! Well... it's on!"

I get out of her grasp and fly up, flipping a couple of times. "I had this arena mastered three years ago. Are you sure you wanna go against me?"

"Eeyup." She lifts herself off of the ground with her wings, and the crowd starts to go wild.

This is where the real battle begins.

"LUNCH TRAY POWERS ACTIVATE" I summon Pinkie Pie's pet, Gummy, who hits Ali in the head with a lunch tray.

Ali is now infuriated. That won't stop me! She dashes my way, but I grab her by the head, and I swing her in Discord's direction, where she nearly falls on him. Instead, she turns back, kicks him in the face, and says, "That's for being a pedo."

Discord slaps her in the face. "That's for accusing me of wanting to do such a thing. She's not even cute!" He takes her by the hoof and throws her directly at me. I can't move fast enough, so she crashes into me, and we hit a wall, laughing.

I throw Ali off of me and bash her in the head with a waffle, because I feel like it. Then I poke her poofy mane with my hoof, because I've always wanted to do that. "Hey, Ali. Ali. Are you gonna fight back?"

She looks up at me, first with tired looking eyes, which soon widen with rage. Her irises turn from green to red, and she pushes me off of her, and punches me in the face. She then kicks me in the stomach, and gives me a black eye.

"OW!!!!!!!" I scream. She comes rampaging towards me, but is soon knocked over by a large stream of chocolate milk.

Discord, the one responsible, glances at me. "Hey, I need to keep you alive for my entertainment."

Ali gets up and shakes herself off like a dog, chocolate getting all over the place, her hair poofing back into place, much like Pinkie Pie's.

Sandy grimaces a little bit.

"You asked for it," Ali sighs.

The announcer pony poofs back into the arena, grabbing our attentions. "The second round may not have gone as planned, but let's hear it for these crazy fillies!"

"WWWWOOOOOOOOOOO"

By now, Ali and I are completely forgiving of each other, we are friends after all. All six of us fly up, even though Lily is still tied to the rope Katrina's biting.

Discord floats up as well. "You may have gotten through my maze and the first two rounds, but can you fight the embodiment of chaos and disharmony himself?"

I speak up. "That we'll have to find out ourselves." I smirk and cross my arms. Damn I love being a pony.

Discord raises his hands and wiggles his fingers, or talons, whatever. The atmosphere soon turns into dark, jungle like shrubbery, with trees and the like. I can still see the audience, though. "But first, a little pre-boss." He disappears and reappears into the audience next to Pinkie Pie.

We all fall to the ground, and one of the shrubs begin to rustle, leaves falling.

Heaven is tackled by a green blur, who turns out to be... Carnival Cat??!! But... that's fanon! Oh well, chaos has no rules, now does it?

She whispers into Heaven's ears and her eyes widen. "Holy -BLEEP-, get her off of me! She's whispering creepy things into my ears!!"

I gallop towards her, but I'm soon suspended by a green aura...

-----
Brooke

I sit in my room on the bottom of my bunk bed, where I keep thinking about the events that my friend, Candace, explained her current events. Although that was about an hour ago, I still can't believe she was right. She told me that Discord would be here someday (Even though it was more of a joking tone), and it happened!

Seriously, it doesn't make any sense! Discord's a cartoon! How could he just waltz on Earth and-

"Hey, Brooke, whatcha thinkin' about?" My little sister Leah walks into my room with a curious look on her face. She has short brown hair and light blue eyes, and is one of Candace's biggest fans, no joke.

"Just about something Candace told me..."

"Oh? What was it?" Leah is... somewhat possessive of Candace, she looks up to her. She is nine after all.

I try to think of something to tell her when I hear a very loud -SHING- coming from my top bunk. "Oh, this is just priceless! Brooke, you have got to see this!"

Leah's eyes widen. You see, Candace has also gotten her believing that Discord exists. So you have no idea how surprised she is to see him on my bed. "Discord! What are you doing here?!"

"Wreaking chaos."

"But you're on Brooke's iPad."

I climb the ladder onto my top bunk. Leah wasn't kidding. He has my freakin' iPad! "Give that back!" I yell. "What have you done with Candace?!"

"Oh, we're just playing a little game, is all. I'm watching it on this iPad I conveniently found on your couch." He smiles. "If you want it back, you could just simply take it."

And that's just what I'm going to do I swipe my hand to grab it, but he simply moves out of the way. "Give it back!" I yell. I climb the rest of the way up my ladder and tackle him, 'cause that's what I do best. Leah grabs his tail. "Hold up, bub!"

Discord looks at her with an almost-alarmed look.

"I'll let you keep Brooke's iPad if you take us with you wherever you're going," She smiles.

Ugh! That was not the response I was expecting! That iPad cost us over $700! What is she thinking?!

"Done deal," He smirks. "These pieces of technology are especially random!" with a snap of his talons, we're gone.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go make some chocolate pudding at four in the morning.

We appear in some dark, jungle-like underbrush, and Discord still has my iPad! I swipe it from his paws with a to-the-point, "Thank you." He rolls his eyes when I hear voices ahead.

I run ahead of the others with Leah shouting, "Brooke, wait for me!" I turn around and hoist my little sister onto my back, and continue to run.

Discord quickly appears next to us, his mismatched wings flapping with the beat of my feet against the ground. "I could just, you know, teleport us there..."

"No time." I simply state. I continue to run while Leah has my iPad eased on my head. "What... are you doing?" I ask.

"Making cookies."

"Real ones?" Discord asked.

"Nah."

"We'll see about that." He flies behind me, and I can't see what happens next, but he soon flies back to my side and he's... eating cookies. Hmm.

I stop and find seven ponies. The one that is the most noticeable is a green pony with a white and black striped mane, but her eyes... They're not normal. Not at all. Her eye whites are red, her irises are yellow, and she only has one shine in each of her eyes, unlike the other ponies.

She's whispering things I can't make out to another pony, this one having a tan coat and brown mane with a lot of fly-aways. I can't tell what color her irises are because her eyes are a bunch of patterns, which remind me of the same patterns from Return of Harmony part one, but this time they're red, purple, and yellow.

Another one, having a purple coat and a shiny blue mane is encased in a greenish aura, unable to move, I presume.

Four other ponies are currently trying to push away a forcefield preventing them from getting in between the two ponies I mentioned earlier.

The purple pony turns her head to me and screams, "BROOKE!!!" It's Candace's voice!

Leah gets off of my back and I begin to run towards her.

"DON'T GET ANY CLOSER!" she yells. "HAND ME YOUR iPAD!"

"How did you know I had my iPad?" I ask.

"IT'S A LONG STORY, HAND IT OVER!"

Leah tosses it to her, she catches it in her mouth, and she swings it at the green pony, banging against her head with a loud, 'KONK', and landing on the grass, along with the green pony, who is now probably unconscious from the impact.

The five conscious ponies run to the tan pony, as well as Leah and me.

One of Candace's friends says, "I think you killed her, but that's ooooooooookayyyyyyy~"

Another one of Candace's friends (Being light blue with dark pink hair) says, "No one has to know about this... It'll be the perfect crime.

The pony tied to a rope says, "There's no such thing as a perfect crime..."

"SHUT UP LILY, THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE HER FEEL BETTER, SHE'S A MURDERER~" Discord yells.

-----
Candace

I grin. "My god... this is fun." I look to Discord. "Why are these challenges so easy? Also.... on a random note... I DIDN'T KILL HER!! SHE'S FINE"

Discord thinks for a moment. "I'm not quite sure... Let's fix that," he grins, and begins to walk towards me.

"NO!!!" Brooke yells, and tackles him. Damn she's good at tackling. "CANDACE, RUN!!!"

I can only get away a few steps before Discord tosses Brooke off of him into the audience next to Rarity. Well, at least Brooke can keep herself entertained while Discord turns me into a dumbass.

RUN!!! Is my first instinct. I gallop a few feet and Discord picks me up and pokes me in the stomach.

*Squee*

Did I just do that? *squee, squee, squee* Wow, Discord, you're SOOO mature. He turns me and our eyes meet.

This is getting awkward...

And I can't move away. I bet you the first thing Ali's gonna say is,

"..."

Yup. She said it. Discord eyes begin to spiral... and I black out.

-----
Ali

Lily is the first to speak. "I think she just fangirl'd."

We all chuckle to ourselves while Discord kicks Brooke's little sister into the audience next to Twilight Sparkle. Literally.

"Ouch, you're gonna pay for that!!" She yells. She then turns to Twilight and smiles. Twilight is probably her favorite pony.

The unconscious Candace is surrounded by a cage which is soon lifted into the air. By a chain.

"Discord, you bastard. You're gonna pay for this.... " I yell.

Discord snaps his talons and the arena turns back to sugary goodness... "Come at me, bro," Discord retorts.

What do we do?

-----
Katrina

Time for a shitstorm.

I gallop my way to Discord and swing Lily. He falls over, and I spit out my rope laughing while I trot back to my place.

Lily wiggles around randomly and gets the ropes off of her.

Her horn starts glowing, and she's very... calm. The wind is blowing and things start to turn blue, and the crowd "Ahh"s. It starts to become very chilly and ice starts rising from Discord's feet.

Lily opens her eyes. "Whoa, I did that?"

Discord crosses his arms and the ice breaks off with a loud 'CRACK'. "You're gonna need more than that." A large pillar rises from the ground and Lily's on top. "Ahh!"

"Lily!" We all walk to the giant pillar.

"How do we get up there?" I ask.

"I fly up there, of course!" Ali yells. She begins to flap her wings, but is soon shot down by pies and lands on the ground.

Heaven also tries, but she sucks at flying. She must be still sobering up or something.

Discord starts laughing. "You really need Candace, don't you? This is hilarious! You are the dumbest ponies I ever met!"

Sandy is heavily offended like this. I think this arena is getting to all of us.

She dashes to him and jumps on his face. "No one calls me an idiot and gets away with it..." They both fall to the ground with a loud 'THUMP'.

"I mmever ffaid that..." Discord mumbles, which is very muffled considering the fact that Ali is standing on his mouth.

"Hmm... Hey, Discord." She backs up a bit, and her hooves are no longer on his mouth.

Discord crosses his arms. "What?"

Sandy turns around and walks downwards towards and stops at his stomach. "Are you perhaps... TICKLISH???!!! She starts prodding her hoof at random spots on his stomach.

He is stifling giggles, but is failing miserably, probably because he is an Oddish. "Nononono, get off of me!! AHHH"

"I have the feathers!" Lily yells, jumping off of the pillar. She lands on a trampoline that she conjured and charges towards Discord.

Discord tosses Sandy off of him. "Oh no you don't, you're not resorting to that- AHH!" I tackle him.

"Stay still, and lets get this over with." I grin. I wish I were a unicorn, this would be much easier... Wait, what did Candace tell me earlier?

[Back in the jungle, where Candace was suspended in the green aura (This was during Brooke's perspective)

Hey, I remember this arena as a ten year old.

What do you mean?

I fought Discord here, even though you're the only one I've told. I used magic!

But you were a human, right?

Yes, but we can use magic!

[Back to the present]

My eyes widen. I grin and ropes fall all over me. Aw hell yeah. I levitate them but Discord already ran off. Let's fix that.

I -ZAP- in front of him and tackle. Tackling is fun. "Heaven, help me!" I yell.

"No, I'm too tired."

I poof up a bottle of vodka. "Can you reconsider?" I wiggle it around a little bit.

Heaven looks up from where she's laying and her eyes widen. "VODKA!" She runs towards me, but I levitate it over Discord's face.

"OH MY GOD!!!" She pounces on top of the bottle and lands. On Discord's face. "Oooohh, my precious Vodka..." By this time she's switched to her Russian accent, which actually sounds very legit. Just sayin'. Then Heaven begins to caress the bottle.

Discord flails, but by this time his head has been strapped down by black duct tape. "MMFFF, MFFF! FFFFFUUUUU!!! DON'T MAKE ME EAT YOU, SANDSON!!" He points at Sandy, who is now charging at us with lots of feathers.

"That's my line!!!" Ali roars, tumbling over to Heaven's side, who is currently guzzling vodka, even though we're not even the appropriate age for drinking. Meh, it's Equestria. Whatcha gonna do?

Sandy tosses them in midair, the crowd cheering in a huge uproar. "Wait," I ask, "What was that for? Aren't we gonna use them?"

"Of course we are, I just wanted to try something!" Sandy twirls around and the feathers lift into the air, and they shimmer with a bright blue light. After a few blinding flashes, each one of us has some sort of feather themed object.

Ali finally takes notice of what's going on. "Wait, we're going to tickle him? I smell rape."

----
Jera (You weren't expecting this, were you? XD Sorry I'm introducing so many characters.)

My grandma's car drives up in front of a tan house, which is Candace's. Ugh! I'm so late! I hope Candace isn't too worried! Oh...

"Jera, I'm sorry I made you so late." My grandma apologizes.

"Oh, it's okay," I rush. I sprint to the front door and bang on it with my fist. I'm usually not so brash with these sort of things, but I'm so late! It's really annoying me!

The door opens and the person behind it is what I assume is Candace's mom. "Oh, hello, you must be Jera?" She holds out her hand.

"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry," I shout. I run into the basement, because I'm pretty sure that's where Candace and her friends are. I toss my stuff at a blinding speed. "Guys-I'm-so-sorry-I-" I start, to find that... there's no one here.

"Guys? Where are you?" What if I was gone for so long that they left somewhere without me? No, that can't be it, Candace's mom is still here.

I pace back and forth, trying to come up with solutions, but none of them make sense! Where is everybody, I'm so worried!

"Jera..." A deep voice comes out of nowhere, but I think I've heard it before....

I pull my hoodie up. "Who are you? Do you know where my friends are?"

The whole scenery of the basement I'm in darkens. I'm just standing in a world of darkness...

"Perhaps..." A dark, tall silhouette appears in front of me and he sets his... lion paw? On my shoulder. "Welcome to your lucky day, Jera."

I hear a sound of snapping fingers and I'm thrown forward into more darkness. I feel something sprout from my back, and my arms and legs turn into... hooves? I shrink, along with my Gir hoodie, which now fits even better than it did before. I somersault into some soft, powdered sugar and white dust flies everywhere. I cough a bunch, and I hear a bunch of gasps.

"Whoa, bro, who are you?" That's Heaven's voice!

I get up. "Heaven, it's me, Jera!"

"Aw, sweet! Sandy, get over here!"

A light blue pony with dark pink hair walks next to Heaven. "Hi Jera! It's me, Sandy!"

I smile. "Ohmigosh hi!" I stand up. "Sorry I was so late..."

"It's fine, Jera, but I need your help. We were about to tickle the living daylights out of Discord and he just disappeared!"

"Are you sure Candace won't get jealous?" I giggle. "She's probably always wanted to do that. Anyway, I might know where he is. How do you think I got here?"

"Maybe I could be of some service to you." A voice calls.

Discord flashes in between us with a big, dorky pair of sunglasses on and a huge mustache. "He went.... That-a way!" He grows a bunch of arms who's talons or fingers, point in all directions.

I look to Sandy. "There he is," I point my hoof to the goofy-looking draconequus.

Heaven throws a glass bottle that smells of vodka at him. "Mother Fluffer," she yells. "Stay still!"

Discord's glasses and mustache fall off of his face and land on the floor, exploding into bits of chocolate. He throws a fist in the air. "Never!" He runs towards a cage with another pony in it.

"After him!" I scream. "Wait... how do I get this hoodie off?" My jacket flies off. "There you go," Sandy says. "We have magic, but don't tell Ali. We're trying to confuse her."

"Okay," I nod. I look to my side and... I have wings! After Discord I go! My wings flare up, but... "Wait... how do I work these things?"

"Jera!"

I look into the crowd of ponies. "Derpy!" I run over to her and look up, since she's in the audience.

"I can help you fly! Just flap your wings and you'll be fine!"

"Okay!"

Heaven runs up to me. "Wait, it doesn't work like that!"

Too late. I'm up in the air having a hard time keeping balance, but I guess that's what I get for taking flying advice from Derpy Hooves. "Whee!" I yell. "Off to the battle of Fate's destiny!" I grin. I fly towards Discord, who is on top of the cage, holding on to the chain, which is currently lifting the cage into midair at a fast speed. "Adios!" Discord yells. The cage zips up into the air. "Oh no you don't!" I holler.

Discord snaps his talons and disappears, being replaced with what looks like an alarm clock. I land next to it. "What the heck is this?" I ask. I sniff it. It smells like...

*Tick* *Tick* *Tick* .... BOOOOOM!

CHEESE! CHEESE EVERYWHERE! The alarm clock exploded, and there is cheese all over my face, coat, wings, not to mention the audience, and Lily. I don't know how everypony else was unharmed, but oh well.

"HOLD HIM DOWN!!!!" Ali screams. "LET'S BURN HIM WITH FIRE!"

"We don't want to kill him," Heaven points out. "We just need to bring his health bar down to zero."

"Which is taking way too long. You guys are boring." Discord deadpans.

Sandy kick Discord in the stomach and he falls to the ground, holding his stomach. Yeah, that probably hurts.

Katrina grabs the feathers and everypony gets their materials. But I'm left out. I'm lonely. I sit down on top of Candace's cage.

-----

Candace

I feel really groggy, and the floor is cold. Where am I again? I open my eyes halfway and wait for my eyes to adjust. I see a lot of cheese. And chocolate. Strawberries? Baby formula smells like blood.

My thoughts catch up to me. "Let's fix that." Discord! I look around and my eyes meet to Discord's. He's slightly bruised and surrounded by my friends that are holding... feathers?! Don't tell me they were about to do that without me!

"HOOOOOLLLLLD IT!" I howl. I must have been pretty loud, because now every single pony in the arena in staring at me. Plus a draconequus. And two humans. The door to the cage I'm in swings open and I hop out and land with a 'THUMP'. I walk towards my friends with a very concerned look on my face. "Are you telling me that you were about to tickle Discord without telling me?" I giggle. "Gimme that." I take Sandy's staff. "The fangirl gets first dibs on the draconequus."

"That's what she said," Ali mumbles.

"Shut it, Princess Molestia," I retort. I grin to myself and swat Discord in the face. I feel really bad, but whatever. It'll be totally worth it in the end.

"Beat him up!" Leah shouts.

"He got bananas and cheese all over my book!" Twilight Sparkle yells.

"Hey, I'm getting to it, shut up!"

-----

Katrina

Wait, so are we just gonna sit here and watch Candace molest Discord? Eh, whatever. She walks forward a bit with an insane glint in her eye, but she's surprisingly calm. She stops after a few steps, pulls out the staff, and pokes the area on his neck where is head meets it.The tickling begins. Here comes a shitstorm.

We all watch in pure horror as Candace moves the feather back and forth in the same place. Discord can't move, because Lily successfully froze him, but not in ice. He can't say anything. He's afraid too, I can tell. Of course, the awkwardness is lifted somehow, and everybody starts laughing, because now that I think about it, this is really funny. Think of it as some big, immortal creature getting beat up by a group of girls! Seriously, it's just like that!

Of course, Lily's spell has to wear off some time. Discord throws Candace off of him, but by this time, he's basically already lost. His health bar is only a fifth of the way full. He picks up a vial out of nowhere in lifts it to his mouth.

Luckily, I notice this just in time and tackle him again. When is this guy gonna learn his lesson?! I catch the vial and toss it to Sandy. "Take it!" I yell. "You need it!"

Candace finally gets up and runs to a certain spot at the ground and starts.... digging? "Candace, what are you doing?" I ask.

"Finishing this off," Candace explains. "This is taking way too long, and I'm really curious about what may be in the box Pinkie gave me."

"Of course this is way too long!" Pinkie yells. "This chapter is almost five thousand words long!"

"Pinkie!" Twilight Sparkle yelled. "How many times have I told you to be careful with the fourth wall! Derpy is getting very tired of putting it back together all over again."

"I keep getting superglue in my mane," Derpy complains.

"Mmkay," Candace responds. Discord slaps her in the face. "If that box has any feathers in it, I'll have to kill you. This is getting really annoying."

Candace opens the box but soon takes whatever was in the box and makes it disappear. "Ali, I'm going to need fire. This is going to awesome."

Ali screeches. "Fire?!!" She gets up and puts on a very scary, evil grin. "I can help with that," she cackles. But then she pauses. "Wait, Candace, are you an idiot? I'm a pegasus, not a unicorn."

We all start bursting into laughter and Ali falls into a hole. She climbs out with a very stern look on her face. "Are you telling me..."

"Yeah, we were hiding it from you the whole time!" Jera screams. She falls off of the cage and we're all howling with laughter. Seriously, even Discord thinks it's funny. "Hehe, less than 5,200 words in and you've pulled a prank on two ponies. You're really good."

"I'll go get the glue," Derpy sighs, and flies away.

"THIRD PRANK!!!" Candace shouts, and runs under Discord tripping him over. "HOLD STILL, YOU LITTLE BASTARD!" She straps a giant firework onto his back and Ali sets it on fire.

"Oh, fu-" PPPEEEEEEEEEWWWWW Discord shoots up into the sky and fireworks set off.

-----
Twilight Sparkle

Well, I guess I can say that the villain got what he deserved. But still.... "Is he alive?" I ask. "It's been about three minutes now."

Candace's eyes grow wide. "I hope I didn't kill him, that'd be terrible!!!!" She sits down at the realization and stares at the ground.

"Oh, Twily," Pinkie sighs. "You've just upset her! Silly filly." She hops from the audience and trots next to Candace. I stare at her.

"Go on." Pinkie Pie waves her hoof. "Give the girl her privacy."

Most of the audience is gone anyways, so I listen to her advice and I leave as well. Besides, I have a certain 'Queen of the Trolls' to lecture.

----
Candace

"Candy, look in the sky!" Pinkie whispers. I look to the sky to see a cloud of billowing smoke. "He's going to be fine," Pinkie assures. "Take from me, I know what a human is!"

I smile at her. She's so silly. "In fact, I see a dot floating around! I'll leave you guys alone. But before that..." Pinkie hugs me. "I'm glad I could make you smile!"

"Pinkie!" Rarity walks in. "What in Equestria is taking you so long?"

"Smiles!" she giggles. She hops away and both of the ponies walk out of the door.

Silence. Well, that is, until....

VVVEEEEEOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM PPPPPPPSSSSSHHHHHHHOOOOOWWWWW

Ahh! Of all ponies, why did Discord have to land on top of me! Ahh! My face turns red and I flail to no avail.

"You're the worst pillow ever." Discord rolls off of me and gets up. "Congrats girls. You won."

[rem sleep]

That was amazing! Candace you wrote it just wonderfully! I never new you were so great at writing stories! I'm so proud of you! If you write more please tell. Also you don't have to but maybe by acsident we get brought somewhere with you and discore and we find out you were friends and you know we get closer maybe not everyone like ali dosen't have to be included but the main 5 of us should be like ;Lily, katrina, hevan, you and me! mainly cause ali is not the type to get Emotional. like I said just a sugestion




P.S Again great Amazing !

Do not make me eat you Sandson. I am capable of emotion, I just choose not to display it. Crying is gross that's why I don't do it. I could if I wanted to, but I assure you I am part of the main events. You have yet again hurt my feelings, well, that is, if I had those. Humph.

Tch, Heaven, not Hevan. Accident, not Acsident. Discord, not Discore. Geez, spelling mistakes! D:

Anyways, sorry to get moody but that just pushes my buttons.
I don't approve of being pushed out and I know a great deal more than you think I do.
Out of respect I choose not to worry you all with my stupid emotions when they do arise, I didn't think you'd all undermind me for that.
Well, I guess I'll give you a piece of my mind tomorrow... Later...

That was amazing! Candace you wrote it just wonderfully! I never new you were so great at writing stories! I'm so proud of you! If you write more please tell. Also you don't have to but maybe by acsident we get brought somewhere with you and discore and we find out you were friends and you know we get closer maybe not everyone like ali dosen't have to be included but the main 5 of us should be like ;Lily, katrina, hevan, you and me! mainly cause ali is not the type to get Emotional. like I said just a sugestion




P.S Again great Amazing !

Do not make me eat you Sandson. I am capable of emotion, I just choose not to display it. Crying is gross that's why I don't do it. I could if I wanted to, but I assure you I am part of the main events. You have yet again hurt my feelings, well, that is, if I had those. Humph.

Tch, Heaven, not Hevan. Accident, not Acsident. Discord, not Discore. Geez, spelling mistakes! D:

Anyways, sorry to get moody but that just pushes my buttons.

^^; Ahahaha.... *inward sigh*
I'm sure that Sandy wasn't trying to offend you, but I do get what you're saying.
I wouldn't like being pushed out like that either.
But no worries, what Sandy said is NOT going to be put into consideration.
Nopony shall be left behind!
But I did remember that you guys still (in the story) don't know what happened between him and me, so that'll be fun to write out.

Reminds me of Screw Ball.

Wait... what reminds you of Screwball?

Also, attention everypony! I've made a few improvements to my fic, and it would be greatly appreciated if you gave some comments or critiques! I'm beginning to lose some inspiration here ^^;

How about everypony starts to think Discord is evil, but find out that they need to be the Elements of Harmony, because the others can't use them for some reason. After they get undiscorded. XD

Well, they already know that Discord is evil..
I've already figured out how they're going to defeat him....

SPOILER: Fireworks....
