Chapter 2: You thought it was God who  created the Universe? Think Again!

Twilight Sparkle opened her eyes.

And was staring at an octopus.

“The hell?”

The Octopus, and her, were also both suspended in the middle of black nothiningness.

“THE HELL?”

The octopus stared at her, and its head began to glow.

“THE HE- ok, you know what, I just don’t care anymore.”

Then the octopus started to talk.

“My child, you have been sent back into the past to witness the beginning of a new universe.”

“Wait, our universe was created by an octopus?”

“Quite so.”

“Huh. Now I know why none of the religions got it right.” 

“Now cease your yapping, little one, and watch, as the universe is created.”

The octopus closed its eyes, and concentrated hard. Twilight could see him shacking and squirming, shuddering, and filling up with pure, raw power.He flexed his tentacles, and shot them at a space right in front of them.

Nothing happened.

“Huh. I could’ve sworn that was the right thing to do. I mean, honestly, what else am I gonna-”

The whole area exploded in light.

Blown back by the force of the Big Bang, Twilight and the Creator Octopus were blown to the furthest parts of the universe.

But because the universe wasn’t very big at the time, the Creator Octopus managed to latch on to Twilight’s horn before it got too big for them to find each other.

“Well, that went better then expected.”

“WE NEARLY DIED!”

“Yes, but I created the Universe. So you should be thanking me.”

Twilight grumped.

“This doesn’t make any sense. How were you created then?”

“I was left over from a dimension where a raccoon created it. It was a terrible dimension, all trashed, and no order whatsoever, just throwing things where he damn well pleased-”

“But, who created the creator Raccoon?”

“He said he was left over from a dimension where a koala created it.”

“And the koala?”

“From a dimension where a kumquat created the universe.”

“And that- wait, how did the kumquat create that universe?”

“Your guess is as good as mine.”

“So let me get this straight. Basically, we live in a never ending chain of recreating demensions?”

“That’s correct.”

“And you know everything about this demension?”

“I assume that’s why I didn’t die when the other universe ended.”

“Then what’s the meaning of life?”

The Octopus stopped, and thought for a second.

“Beer.”

“Beer?”

“Beer. Oh, and sex.”

Twilight stared at the octopus.

“Can you send me back to my own time now?”

“Sure thing!”

“Oh, wait. before you go, can you do me a favor?”

“What?”

“At some point in history, make a bunch of people think one of their friends is the son of god or something. That’ll be hilarious.”

“That seems a bit dangerous. What if that person got hurt?”

“As if. Honestly, what’s the worst that could happen?”
