A Day with Discord

by Shippofan2k


Part 1

Today was Sketch Melody's day off, while her friends were off working, busy or in Starlight Glimmer's case, friendship lessons with Twilight. She sat on her couch a book levitating in her magic, she wanted some new material for a new book, so she decided a nice day at home reading books would give her inspiration.

Her dog Antonio sleeping in his dog bed listening to the sound of his owner reading the book out loud to herself lulling him to sleep. She had been reading when something fell in the kitchen, putting her book down on the table using her magic, getting up from her seat on the couch, she ventured from the living room to see what was going on, Antonio following behind her.

As she entered the kitchen she saw something that made her freeze where she stood. In her kitchen was the Lord of Chaos himself Discord looking through her cupboards. She had no idea what to say for this before she could say anything, however, Antonio zipped over and jumped on Discord's tail. Discord jumped looking down and pulling his tail up, the small Chihuahua holding on to his tail with the tiny teeth in his mouth.

"Well aren't you a big scary dog." Discord said, snapping his fingers and teleporting Antonio off his tail and over to his bowl, which was now full of dog treats.

Seeing the peace offering Antonio practically attacked the delicious treats in his bowl.

"What are you doing in my house?" Sketch asked, catching Discords attention.
"Oh, Fluttershy is out of town and told me that it  was lonely to come see you out." Discord said teleporting in front of her, extending his lion paw. "Discord, The Lord of Chaos!"
"Sketch Melody." Sketch said holding her hoof out to shake his paw. "Now isn't the time for a visit, I'm working on a book--!"
"Oh, a book you say?" Discord said teleporting next to her and wrapping his lion pawed arm around her in a friendly manner. "Can I read it?"

"I haven't thought of the idea yet," Sketch told him. "But I have another one you can read if you want." Sketch said, sliding out of his arm and walking back into the living room, pulling out a book from the bookshelf.
"Is this the one Twilight told me about with the changeling?" Discord questioned accepting the book.

"Yup, The adventures of Antenna." Sketch replied sitting in her chair as Discord took a spot on her couch.
"Fascinating." Discord commented. "So You don't have an idea for your new book?"
"No, I've been reading these book to get an idea." Sketch said. "I haven't had one."
"Well, of course, you haven't!" Discord chuckled. "You're only reading about it, you need to go out and have fun!"

"That's not a bad idea." Sketch replied with a grin. "Do you want to help me?"
"You're asking me for help?" Discord asked taken aback by the question.
"Well if you don't want you I can always do it myself." Sketch teased.
"No no!" Discord said. "I want to help!"
"Great!" Sketch replied. "Where should we go?"

"Hmmm, well Las Pegasus has a place that is under new management, we can always go there." Discord said leaping off the couch and grabbing Sketch.
"Sure why not." Sketch said levitating a satchel full of papers, pens, and money.

"Off we go then!" Discord said, about to snap his fingers and teleport when Flare Spark smashed through the door.
"Sketchhhhhh I'm bored- Who in the name of Tartarus is that!" Flare spark shouted.
"Flare Spark this is Discord." Sketch replied, walking over to her best friend. "He's helping me with my next book."
"The lord of chaos is helping you with your book!" Flare Spark exclaimed. "That is so awesome!"

Discord could only stand there and blink in confusion, not many Ponies were his fans but he didn't mind it, it made him feel accepted. when he snapped out of it, he finally answered,

"I have another fan?" Discord questioned. "Goodness if I become more popular I'll need a fan club like Rainbow Dash!"

"Either way, I want in!" Flare Spark said with a grin.
"The more the merrier!" Discord exclaimed grabbing Flare Spark and proofing a headband on her head with horns matching his own glued to the top.
"So where are we going to go?" Flare Spark asked after fangirling over the headband on her head.
"Las Pegasus." Sketch answered.
"I see." Flare Spark replied.

Flare Spark shrugged, a grin forming on her face as if she was thinking of another good idea that had popped into her head.

"Las Pegasus sounds like fun but a Fantasy quest sounds better!" Flare Spark remarked.
"I can make that happen!" Discord said a big mischievous grin on his face.
"let's do it then!" Sketch squealed.

With a snap of his fingers, Discord changed the inside of Sketch Melody's house, it had changed into a calm countryside.

Flare Spark looked herself over and found herself wearing a light purple dress silver armor plate on her chest, a silver belt around the waist of it holding a crossbow and a pouch full of Arrows, each of her legs had a white boot with silver armor on the fronts of them. her hair was tied up in a ponytail giving her an adventurous look.

Sketch was wearing a light blue dress, with a silver armor on the chest like Flare Spark outfit, each of her legs a silver shoe that covered her hooves, a simple mask on her face colored white that framed her eyes, unlike the belt on Flare Spark's waist, Sketch Melody had saddle bags attached to a saddle.

Discord stood near them, covered in armor and, a bow and a quiver full of arrows on his shoulder and on his hip a simple pouch, on his head was a helmet made of gold much like what the royal guards wear.

"Whoa!" Flare Spark exclaimed. "I didn't think the Lord of Chaos could do this!"
"Of course I can!" Discord shouted with a grin. "I'm willing to bet my magic is just as powerful as Celestia!"
"Sure Discord." Sketch giggled. "Also my saddlebags feel different, what did you do?"
"Nothing much, I added more space to them." Discord said with a grin.

"More space?" Flare spark asked, opening one of the pouches, her mouth falling open and her eyes wide. "it's like there's another Dimension in this saddle bag!"
"Wait really?" Sketch questioned looking in the bag as well. "Oh, my Celestia, Discord this is amazing!"
"I know." Discord replied, grinning confidently looking at his eagle clawed hand like he was Rarity checking her hooves for Dirt. "Now I believe we have a quest to find?"

Sketch Melody and Flare Spark's faces lit up with glee, smiling with Discord. Excitement brimming in their chests.

"Yes!" Both mares cheered, following Discord down the dirt path they were standing on, ready for the adventure they would find.
