//------------------------------// // Why So Searious? // Story: A New Threat // by mjk 705 //------------------------------// *Dream World* I found myself at the side of a small river. It fact, it looked like it was just a string of gathered rain water. but something about it seemed so...familiar. I took a look at it, and saw a reflection. But it wasn't my reflection. Instead, it was the reflection of a crimson red unicorn with a flowing black mane, similar to Celestia's. "If Red Nova is the name you choose, then a brief transformation must take place." I heard a low-pitch voice say. "Its dire! Most important!" I heard another say. This one had a higher pitch. "Where are you? Show yourselves!" I yelled. "You can't sense us? How amusing." said the high-pitched voice. "We will meet one day." said the low pitch voice *That Morning* I woke up in complete mystery and confusion of the dream. with the exception of meeting Tom, I never hear other voices in my dreams. I was halfway through my breakfast when I heard a knock on my door. When I opened the door, I almost fell down in surprise. "Dear Celestia, PLEASE dont tell me that I had too much cider." I told myself. Who stood before me was Discord himself. "Listen here you! I'm not going to fall for any of your stupid tricks this time! I..." I stopped when I saw the mane 6 behind them. Except, they didnt exactly have there elements on. "Ok, somepony better explain what is going on here." "Allow me to explain." said Twilight. She went on to tell about what happened in "Keep Calm and Flutter On" or atleast, I think thats the name of the episode Tom told me to give. "...So now you don't need to worry about a thing." said Discord, finishing up the explamation. "I see. So you've gone from enemy to ally, huh?" I asked Discord "Indeed. I have sworn to use my powers for good." "Well then," I put my arm out "Its nice to know your on the good side." I said as he reached out his lion paw and shoock my hand. Before I came here, I had asked myself several times how I would react if Discord became a good guy. And I finally knew how I did. I was relaxed. I knew now that it was only a matter of time before I had a way to train with a decent character. "And that kinda brings us to why we braught him here. Hes going to need a place to stay, and we figure you were the most eligible person to do it." explained Twilight. "Well, wait a minute, couldnt he just whip up a place of his own or something?" I asked "Well, I tried that and well..." "It fell down." finished Fluttershy "But coludnt you make it stand somehow? I mean, you literly made three houses float off the ground, heck, you turned Town Hall itself fly UPSIDE DOWN!" "Yes, but that was using my powers for evil. Now I have to use it for good. Therefore, if i used my powers to make my little foundation stand, it would have messed up all of Equestria. Twilight tried to use her magic, but not even that worked. And besides, I actually like it here." "Alright then. Make yourself at home, I guess." Discord snapped his fingers and dissapeared in a white flash. "ARE YOU CRAZY?" I asked the mane 6. "I understand that you all think I can let him stay here, but I have some umm...stuff." "Like what kindda stuff? Is it a surprise? I love surprises! Do you have any idea how crazy this is? What is it? I Pinkie Promise I won't tell anypony! Cross my heart hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye. Ok, I Pinkie Promised! What is it? Huh? Huh?" Asked Pinkie. "Sorry Pinkie, not even a Pinke Promise can keep this a secret." I told her. She frowned "Aww...Ok! I got somewhere to be. Bye everypony!" and she zoomed out of my house. "I swear, I know I'm going to regret asking this, but how the heck does she do that?" "Nopony knows." said the other 5. "Sorry about coming in this early. We just wanted ths to be the first thing we took care of." said Twilight. "No, its fine." I said. They almost all left when I remembered something. "Rarity." I said just before she left the door. "Yes Darling?" she asked "Do you think you could meet me at the park later? At about 4?" "Sure. Talk to you then dear." she left with a wink. "...And there goes the mare of my dreams." I told myself. I just couldn't believe that I even feel in love with a unicorn, much less, one from a little girl's show. I sighed, and then saw a white flash. "I think I've made myself confortable already." said Discord. "Good. I'm leaving at 3:30, and when I leave, you are not to change this house in any, and I mean ANY way, shape, or form. Understand?" "Understood. Where will you be going, exactly?" "The park. Nothing special." I said. But I knew that was nowhere near the truth. "Very well then." said Discord. *3:30 P.M.* "Alright, Im leaving." I yelled "And remember what I said!" "I know, I know, no changing the house in any way, shape, or form." "Good." and with that, I left my house. "Better not ending up being saved by him later." Soon, fate would decide to become the infamous jerk its known to be.
