Viewer Discretion is Advised ----Somewhere Inside Canterlot Castle---- Thump Thump Thump Celestia strode from the dining hall and into the throne room of the castle after finishing breakfast to start the morning court sessions, only to find Discord in the room repeatedly banging his head against one of the room’s walls. "Discord, what are you doing?" Celestia asked, surprised at Discord's presence. "Why just testing the strength of this here wall, my dear Celestia. What does it look like I'm doing?" Discord replied in a bitterly sarcastic tone before continuing to whack his head against the wall. "I appreciate the sarcasm but I would really like to know why you’re doing it." Celestia said un-amusedly whilst frowning at the small crack forming on the wall. "And would you please stop, you’re scaring the guards and I don't want to have to pay for repairs on this wall you saw fit to take your aggression out on." "Isn't it obvious?" Discord asked as he disappeared and reappeared as a tiny version of himself pacing on Celestia's back. "I'm BORED! This place BORES me! I'm the God of bucking Chaos for the love of myself! I need something to entertain me! What do I do when you won't let even let me alter the laws of physics every once in a while? I tell you this whole reformation thing is turning out to be huge pain and not to mention, quite a bore." Two palm trees and a hammock suddenly burst from the ground near the throne with discord lying in the hammock wearing a Hawaiian shirt and sunglasses. Celestia sighed heavily. "Look, Discord, you have got to take care of yourself. I have a lot of duties that I have to attend to right now, so why don't you go out to the city and--" "Let me stop you right there, Celestia. In case you've forgotten, not too long ago I was the one that threw nearly all of Equestria into glorious chaos and unlike dear Luna's homecoming I made it quite clear to everypony including the ones in Canterlot that I was the one responsible for what was happening. Now add on top of that the fact that the only ponies who know of my whole reformation gig back in Ponyville are the Canterlot guards and some of the Ponyville residents, you have neglected to tell anypony else of my return." "I realize this and I haven’t revealed it to the other Canterlot ponies yet to avoid causing a panic.--" Celestia declared bemusedly. "Exactly!" Discord interjected. "However…" Celestia became a little annoyed at being interrupted a second time. "…as I recall you can alter and morph your body as you see fit, so why not just disguise yourself as a pony and go out and mingle some with other ponies? Now I need you to go, Day court is about to begin." Celestia stated dismissively, now trying to rush the Draconequus out the door as discord made the trees disappear and teleported onto the top of Celestia's throne, sitting in The Thinker position. "For shame, Celestia! You’re telling me to not be myself! That doesn't seem like something a pony who teaches the meaning of friendship to others should say." Discord said mockingly to Celestia as she rolled her eyes at him. "But in all seriousness, no. Those Canterlot ponies do not interest me; I do not think I'll get too much excitement from conversing with them. I'll just ask Luna if she'd be interested in going monster hunting with me later tonight." Discord said, ignoring Celestia's attempts to push him off her throne. "Which reminds me could you remind Luna next chance you get to close her balcony doors? I like to sleep in and she makes that difficult when she is 'playing' with that pet guard of hers. I swear, you have no idea just how loud little Luna can get; my room's not even that close to hers." Discord complained nonchalantly as he finally started to move towards the door. Celestia blushed deeply at the thought of what Discord had said as she literally pushed Discord towards the door. "Yes, fine, whatever! I'll talk to her about it, just go already!" Just then both Celestia and Discord froze in their tracks, snapping their heads up and looking towards the window as if a huge explosion just went off. "Did you just feel that?" Discord inquired, breaking the silence. "Yes, it felt like a massive surge of some kind of energy just went off from many miles away. What do you think that was?" Celestia questioned, wide eyed and still staring at the window expecting some sort of massive light, explosion or something to happen. Whatever had happened, it happened out of sight as all that could be seen through the window was the pristine weather that had been present since the very start of the day. No black clouds over the city, no sudden thunder and lightning and nopony panicking and running for their lives. [I added this part just to help with the atmosphere a little bit.] Discord suddenly had a big toothy grin on his face as he looked in the same direction as Celestia. "I don't know but I have a feeling things are about to get a whole lot more interesting soon enough." Discord said excitedly as Celestia gave him a worried look. ----Meanwhile just outside of Ponyville---- Twilight Sparkle joined her friends at the top of a hill outside of Ponyville for their bimonthly get together picnic. As their lives got more and more hectic and filled with responsibilities due to their progressive lives, the more important these picnics became to the six friends. Twilight smiled seeing all of her friends together performing their usual antics that she loved them so much for. Pinkie uncovering her basket and it floating away because it was filled with balloons, Rarity flinging herself on the her red whining couch that she managed to sneak up there with no one noticing and crying over the napkins not matching the plates they don't use, Rainbow Dash trying to seem too cool for her friends by rocking a pair of sunglasses, Fluttershy serving tea to a bear that was five times the size of her, and Applejack just being the only really sane one of the group and acting… well, normal as normal can be in Ponyville. Even Twilight knew that she couldn't rightfully place her own mental stability over Applejacks no matter how much she wanted to. The picnic wasn't any different from any of the others in which they had met each other. Everypony seemed to be doing quite well for themselves. Rainbow Dash continued to progress in her quest to become a Wonderbolt. Pinkie was practically running Sugarcube Corner now while the Cakes attended to all the Catering jobs and their children as well as handling the more important paperwork. Everything else Pinkie did herself and gleefully. Applejack’s business was booming due to her being an element of harmony and her product being sponsored by many major ad companies now as their business now spread throughout Equestria. Rarity’s boutique was now one of the most popular clothing outlets in all of Equestria, with orders being placed from as far away as Las Pegasus. Fluttershy kept doing whatever she did that earned her money, Twilight knew she did pet grooming but there was no way that pet grooming earned her enough to afford a two story cottage and 100 plus animals and yet she didn’t seem to be struggling for cash at any point. Everything was going great, the food was good, everypony was laughing and enjoying themselves and everypony was genuinely happy. It had also been the perfect day for a picnic with completely clear skies and a gentle breeze, which made a change from the seemingly constant rain that Ponyville had experienced for the past few days. Pinkie was talking about some story with a customer who was obsessed with abnormal amounts of jam when she suddenly started violently shaking up and down. "Pinkie what's wrong? Are you ok?" Twilight queried, being worried about her friend. "I-I-I-I d-d-don't-t kn-n-no-o-ow m-m-my p-pinkie s-s-sense i-i-i-is g-g-g-going c-c-c-craz-z-zy!" Pinkie stammered, making her hardly able to speak coherently due to all the shaking. "Well horse-apples! Ah was hopin to git some relaxin done before ah gets back to work!" Applejack complained. She was more than a little annoyed as work had been rough lately, on account of having to work overtime to gather apples for a shipment to Fillydelphia. "Do ya know where it's goin down, Sugarcube?" "Hmmm?" Pinkie thought after she had finally stopped shaking. "If I had to guess, it feels like whatever it is; it's happening at Froggybottom Bog." Everypony looked at Fluttershy, causing her to cower under her friends' gazes. "W-what? D-d-did I do something wrong? I'm sorry." She whimpered, shaking a little in timid fear. "Are you sure Pinkie? I mean Fluttershy's right here." Rainbow said ignoring Fluttershy. "Yep! I'm pretty sure about it. Actually, I don't think it has to do with any of us this time." Pinkie exclaimed with a great big smile on her face. "Well, then why don't we just stay here and continue to enjoy each other's company? Besides, the bog is so ugh... dirty." Rarity proclaimed whilst cringing at the thought of having to trudge through all that mud and gooey nature stuff. "NO!" Pinkie quite suddenly yelled in Rarities face in what sounded like a demonic voice, causing her to reel back and her pupils to shrink to the size of pin holes. "We have to go on the adventure and see what the pinkie sense foretold of." Pinkie said, now in her usual sweet and innocent voice. "Oookay then," Twilight interjected, bringing the attention back to her and just shrugging that event off as a Pinkie thing. "As creepy as that was I do agree with Pinkie on this. We appear to have some sort of large anomaly on our hands and it’s our duty to make sure that whatever it is, it will not pose any immediate threat to our homes or Equestria." "UGH! Fine!" Rarity whined in frustration. "ADVENTURE!!!" Pinkie squealed in excitement. "Maybe we'll get to kick some monster flank while we're out there! That'd be awesome!" Rainbow said strutting with swagger. Applejack sighed. "Rainbow, last time we were attacked by Timber wolves you ran like everypony else." She stated as a reminder, making Rainbow cringe. "I told you, I was making sure all the girls were safe from any other stray timber wolves!" Rainbow argued over defensively. "Uh-huh... So that’s why you left Spike and I to fight the timber wolves ourselves?" Applejack questioned mockingly. "Oh, come on Applejack I thought you two were right behind us, I was gonna fly back as soon as I noticed you were gone!" Rainbow yelled in retort. Then leaning in Rainbow whispered, "Look, I'll make it up to you... again later tonight just shush please! You're ruining my rep!" Applejack just rolled her eyes and smiled victoriously. "Um girls? Please don't make me go... " Everypony just kept walking, oblivious to Fluttershy's plea's for mercy. "Girls? Please... Girls? Eeep!" Noticing she was getting left behind, she scampered to catch up with the rest of her friends. End
