//------------------------------// // Of Chocolate Rain // Story: Ponetry // by The Letter J //------------------------------// Pink clouds formed over Ponyville. Chocolate rain, they prepared to spill. As Pinkie Pie looked up, she sighed. She grabbed a glass and went outside. As chocolate fell, she walked along, She knew she had to right this wrong. The rain came down, her glass filled up. She drank the chocolate from her cup. It tasted good, she'd not deny. But still she glared up at the sky. Though she drank again and again She did not even show a grin. And when she reached the chocolate's source She found it was Discord, of course. When he saw her he was quite glad. For she too was a little mad. But his delight did not last long. For he soon saw something was wrong. “My dear Pinkie, your smile's waned. Do you not like my chocolate rain? Or my pink cotton candy clouds? I thought for sure they'd make you proud. Wait, I know what will make you beam. What this rain needs is some whipped cream!” And with a snap the cream was there But it did not stop Pinkie's glare. “No, I can see that is not it. Tell me, Pinkie, what's caused your fit.” “Discord, my friend, what can I say? Though I could drink chocolate all day, Is this really all you can do? I had expected more from you. Here you are chaos incarnate. No one else has power so great. You can do the unthinkable. But you've become predictable. I love the rain, as you suspect, But it's become what we expect. You must do something that's brand new Lest we all lose respect for you. "Turn green to blue and black to red. Use books to replace Twilight's bed. Turn AJ's barn into a cone. Glue Celestia to her throne. Make salt sweet and sugar sour. Change the season ev'ry hour. Give Fluttershy a pet dragon. Levitate Scootaloo's wagon. Change Rarity's dresses to suits And all her fancy shoes to boots. Turn Rainbow's colors all to pink. Or make some buildings grow and shrink. Make Everfree as bright as day, A place where happy monsters play. Turn the moon into cheddar cheese (I don't think Luna will be pleased). Do anything (that won't cause pain), But enough with the chocolate rain!” “Pinkie, I fear you've misread me. I spread much chaos you don't see. Why just this morn in Canterlot Think of the surprise Celly got When she found that no palace door Did lead where it had lead before.” “Then why, when you're in Ponyville, Is chocolate rain your only skill?” “Pinkie, I do not make this rain To mess with anypony's brain. My actions have been misconstrued. Pinkie, I make it rain for you.” Then smiling they met in a hug. And Discord summoned his own mug. He stroked his new fillyfriend's mane. And together they drank the rain.
