If you happen to cry, I will be there. If you happen to smile, will you do the same for me?

Discord has found the perfect adversary for the perfect game. He and Pinkie will participate in a question-question duel, where every question could change past events as if they never were.

The stakes are Pinkie's Pinkie Sense and Sugarcube Corner. Only by winning can she hold on to both. Out-questioning the Spirit of Chaos, however, is not as easy as it sounds.

I liked it. :twilightsmile: I also liked how this story offers an explanation as to how Pinkie got some of her "Pinkie-isms" :pinkiehappy:

Also, clever how the dice actually did affect their pasts. Things are the way they are because of the dice. A paradox, but one easy to understand. :ajsmug:

"How many muffins does Derpy order every morning when she passes through Sugarcube Corner?" Pinkie asked. It was obvious her heart wasn't in it. She didn't seem to be giving up, but this might be the advantage Discord was hoping for.

"Even if he does speak fourth two languages, how did your dear Gummy learn Ancient Canterlot?" The Draconequus pounced at the opportunity.

How does Discord's question answer Pinkie's? It doesn't. So why does Discord get away with it without any consequences? Because Discord is a cheater. That's why. Fluttershy would not approve. :fluttercry:

Glad you enjoyed :) First time I experiment with time logic O:)

Discord didn't cheat... I typoed O:) The answer the the question is 42 :)

serves you right, you damn pink horse.

Love it!

6395856 Do not underestimate the power of the Pinkamena. Suffer Discord's fate you will! :))

6396128 Thanks :))
Glad you enjoyed :D

as long as I'm on this side of the screen, I'm fine.

Haha, 10th like. Nice story. Discord may be Lord of Chaos, but Pinkie is the source.

6396739 Or are you? *ominous music*

6396754 Thanks :)) Glad you enjoyed :D
And Pinkie might well be :D She is the only one that can sense Discord after all :)

6396812 OBJECTION
how can I be on the other side if I'm typing this response.

This is either obviously an alternate reality, given Pinkie is restricted to that reality, or she has a rematch when Discord comes back in a couple thousand years.

Or given Discord believes she is Ponkie, and she is Pinkie, she loaded the dice in the first place and is taking time out from her frantic party life, making Discord beleive its all his doing. :pinkiecrazy:

6397267 Argh! :) i leave those two for one minute and they change all the i's to o's! :))

Thanks for the catch :D hope you enjoyed a bit of Pinkie Chaos :))

Good! I like Discord vs. Pinkie Sense stuff, good read! :twilightsmile:

6398747 Thanks :)) in such a battle chaos always wins!

Uh, the short synopsis said if Pinkie wins, Discord gets her Pinkie Sense...

After looking at the full synopsis, I assume that was an error.

6398765 That is true. The question here is whether Discord or Pinkie Pie is more chaotic. Which I think is laughably a pretty even match. :rainbowlaugh:

6398784 :)) in the short it doesn't say anything about Pinkie winning at all :)

I enjoyed this one, even if I didn't understand most of it. It was late when I read it.

6400682 Nooo! Was hoping you would.
Guess I must work more on my chaos description :)

Simply put they gamble with the stakes being events in the past. Losing changes their lives in a way that results in their present state (although since it's a past change they don't remember it :))

6401317 :) in Discord's view there are only two possibilities - Discord winning or Pinkie losing :D

...I must have seen a typo where there wasn't one. I could have sworn it said if she wins, he takes her Pinkie sense. I had originally agreed because technically speaking, it didn't say anything about Pinkie winning.

It took me double-checking the short description just now to realize that.

Hmm. I can't decide whether the shipping context is DiscoPie, Dislestia, or Fluttercord, since he refuses to let Pinkie ask him anything about Fluttershy, and seems to really want to take Celestia to dinner...and chose Pinkie to play a game with. I read every story wearing shipping goggles. Sorry. I enjoyed this. Funny, interesting, and very Discord-y.:pinkiesmile:

I showed Discord that even though I break logic, I can still use it!

But how did you even find out about this? I'm pretty sure I didn't talk about it.
