Discord was bored. After being reformed by Fluttershy Discord left with Celestia to go to Canterlot and has been there ever since. He was given his own seat of Government and got to work with the royal pony sisters and give his own opinion in the night and day courts. At first things went well, but overtime things got complicated, Discord's natural chaoticness (if that's a word) caused problems with the balanced and orderly conduct of Equestria's government . It seemed like every day he got in more and more trouble with the guards , the nobles, the cleaning staff, the Canterlot weather team, The Wonderblots, the Changelings, the circus, construction workers, pedestrians, Demolition workers, random ponies, farmers, The cult of Nightmare Moon, and the Canterlot plumbing company( there was a Ten page list of complaints from them). He seemed to cause problems without even trying these days. Celestia and Luna had to keep stripping him of many of his privileges to get him to behave. It was a long and tiring process, but eventually Discord started to do what he was told, but things got worse then.
Celestia couldn't believe Discord was acting normal these days ,but she quickly noticed that was a bad thing. Discord mood seemed to keep getting worse each time she saw him. He no longer had that crazy and mischievous smile he always wore, but a deep frown or he would stare off into space looking sad. He seemed to almost fall asleep in the courts or was half asleep already. She tried bringing Fluttershy and the other Elements (who started growing fond of him) over to cheer him up.At first it worked , but soon he got bored again and looked Depressed whenever the girls weren't looking at him and when they were he had a fake smile on. Celestia kept trying to find ways to cheer him up. She even hired a personal clown for him. In all fairness Discord gave the clown a shot, but the next day the clown quit and left the castle covered in Mustard. Her worries reached their peak when Discord's depression took a scary turn. One day Discord's body went completely gray. Just like what he did to the Elements only it happened to him and he didn't even notice it. She decide something drastic had to be done and fast.
One day after day court ended and Discord left his seat ( he tried to make it out of Potato chips but Ponies complained he was making to much noise eating his own seat of power during court) Celestia went to talk with Luna.
"Luna we need to do something about Discord, He looks terrible these days and nothing works" she said
"I agree" Luna said " Its terrible to see such a Joker like him so sad these days. he used to constantly pull pranks, his favorite was teleporting me into the middle of the male Lunar Guard's Bath house and you into the Solar guard's." she said as a blush crept on both their faces. "If I remember right the Solar Guards thought it was a new type of Surprise Inspection." she said with a giggle.
" yes, yes, I remember" Celestia said with a hint of Annoyance "But I may have a solution to this problem. All it needs is our signatures and a good real estate agent.
" (sigh) everything is so boring these days" Discord said as he chewed a piece o ceiling tile. His room was the only place he could use his chaos magic on and today everything was made of Marshmallows. The Castle staff had long ago stopped trying to clean his room so he didn't have to worry about them messing up his Chaos, but he'd been running out of ideas lately and the room stayed the same for almost a week. There was a knock on the licorice door. "Get in please" Discord said as he floated up upside down to get a good look at the visitors. Celestia and Luna came and smiled up at the grey Draconequus
"Discord we've noticed you've been depressed recently" Celestia said.
"Depressed? me?" Discord asked "what strange thing makes you say that?"
" you're literally grey." Luna Bluntly said.
" I am?" he asked looking himself over for the first time. "Interesting" he said " I've done this to ponies when I was bad but It never happened to me, maybe I should research what's causing this" he rambled off as he floated down and stood up. The princesses shot each other a scared look.
"He's talking like a scientist, this is getting freaky !" they both thought.
"Well anyway It's obvious that this is happening because you can't spread chaos anymore so we decide to find a way to fix that." Celestia said. Discord couldn't help but looked confused as she said this. "we decide you should make chaos, but away from other ponies who could get affected by it , a new start in a brand new area with new creatures." she said with a smile.
"A brand new place, new ideas, new stuff to try... like a new world." discord said with a spacey look. Suddenly all the color returned to his body.
"Exactly" Celestia said excitedly" we can get you your own small section of land to blow off steam and and create whatever you want, We can even pull some strings for it to be in another country if you like." she said to the distracted Draconequus. "
"and new meat......" Discord mumbled.
"what was that?" the solar Monarch asked Innocently.
"It sounds Neat!! I want to do it!!! Discord said flapping into the air.
''Perfect we can start looking tomorrow at two'' Luna said relieved and a little scared to have the old Discord back.
"Excellent" Discord said. In one nano second a mini portal appeared behind his back ,his tail went through it and popped up in the restricted section of the Canterlot royal Library. It took a book from the "Advanced teleportation spells " section and brought it back.''I need to start making ideas at once." Discord said pulling papers out of Thin air( his tail hiding the book behind the papers), siting on a new random jellybean desk and writing with a paint brush in yellow paint. The fooled Princesses left with smiles on their faces. As soon as the door closed Discord looked at the book. " Inter dimensional Travels and you" By Starswirl The Bearded. "Starswirl my old friend you unknowingly helped me yet again" Discord chuckled.
"I think things are going to turn out okay ." Celestia cheerily said to Luna as they walked down the hall. Completely unaware of the events they just set in motion.
There was a unexpected Thunderstorm in Canterlot tonight. Celestia asked why There suddenly was one and the Weather team replied that their boss said they missed a order for one and had to make up for it( not questioning why their boss suddenly had red and yellow eyes and was taller than usual). The real purpose of the loud storm was to hide the sound of a hole being torn in reality. "uuuugh my head" Discord groaned. Spells for traveling to other worlds was hard, Even for a Entity Like Discord. It left him with a small headache after the spell was cast even if there was no specific world he set the spell to. He stared at the whirling black vortex he made and was about to enter when he looked back at Canterlot miles away (never hurt to do it from afar , to just be safe). Wouldn't somepony miss him? Fluttershy would, but she and the other elements( besides Twilight) would grow old and Die and he would be lonely again. The Princesses did want to help him and get him is own place to go crazy, but he would be restricted to just that place and you can't restrict chaos itself, not to mention they just started liking him after two thousand years(counting the years he wasn't in stone). There was also no telling what was on the other side of the Random portal. It could be a world full of monster sharks with four muscle arms, snake Gods that spew acid, Zombies, or any other type of danger. There were many dangers and no sure way of coming back to Equestria. This whole thing was dangerous. It' stupid, It's insane, It's crazy, Its.. It's...
"Chaotic" Discord finished with a evil grin as he's decision was made. He took a running stance at the portal.
"Five. Four .Three Two One. Into a brand new world to have some fun!!!" Discord shouted as he ran then jumped into the portal with no regrets and a new Adventure beginning for him.
