Chapter 1 - Let's Liven Things Up

Twilight had fallen over the peaceful town of Ponyville asSpike, the baby dragon, Big Macintosh, the not-so-talkative Earth Pony stallion, and discord, who is too chaotic to explain, gathered for their “Guy’s Night” of playing ‘Ogres & Oubliettes’.

“Time for a new adventure!” cheered Spike as he sat at the table and reached for the official game guide for ‘Ogres & Oubliettes’. “Let’s see what the book recommends for our next quest!”

“Bah,” scoffed Discord as he hovered and wisped through the air. “Can you stop being Princess twilight Sparkle II and come up with anything that doesn’t require that bothersome book?”

“The book is important!” retorted Spike while facing the displeased draconequus. “It provides the structure for properly assigning monsters, items in shops-”

SNAP!
POOF!

“-how to assign experience, item drops, treasures for dungeons…,” Spike trailed off as he realized he suddenly heard Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship, talking. “Twi? Ar you back already?”

Big Mac let out a deep chuckle as Discord grinned wide as he coiled around Spike.
“Why don’t you take a look over there?” he suggested while poofing up a mirror.

“Ah!” Spike shrieked as Twilight would upon seeing his whole head replaced with that of Twilight’s. “Not funny, Discord!”

“Oh?” cackled the living embodiment of chaos itself. “But you make a splendid Twilight stand-in. Perhaps we should create a new character for you named Bookish Ponyface?”

Big Mac started into another round of laughter as Spike’s altered visage grew expressions quite like those Princess Twilight would make.

Spike huffed.
“Fine,” he conceded. “What do you think we should do then, Captain Wuzz?”

Discord went about teleporting all about the open chamber as he thought on all the possibilities.
“You know,” he eventually said while hovering alongside Spike, pulling him into a hug, and snapping his fingers to return the purple dragon back to normal. “You do have a knack for putting things like your hopeless crush on Rarity into our adventures….”

Big Mac nodded and smiled.
“Eeyup,” he confirmed.

Spike blushed while Discord positioned himself to loom overhead.
“This makes me curious if there’s anything else going through that head of yours outside of prissy white Unicorns?”

POOF
SKEE-POP
POP

“Ah!” cried the emerald-eyed dragon as he felt the draconequus, in a smaller and worm-like fashion, glide into his right ear and out the left.

POOF

“Ah-ha!” proclaimed Discord. “Someone does have a little secret they’ve been keeping from us! Something that will make tonight’s ‘Guy’s Night’ the…”

SHING

Discord replaced his head with that of the yellow Pegasus, Fluttershy, to whom was his best pony friend in all the cosmos.
“Guy’s Night Ever,” he said softly. “Yay.”

“Wait!” gasped Spike as he suddenly had a rather worrisome thought pop into his head.

SHING

“What’s wrong, Spike?” Discord said with the cyan Pegasus’, rainbow dash, head now in place of his own. “This is going to be AWESOME!”

FWOO
RIP
TEAR-RIP

SHING

“Prepare yourselves!” Discord heartily proclaimed as the rift in time and space he tore grew wider-and-wider to consume the trio. “TO ENTER THE WORLD OF OGRES & OUBLIETTES!”

FWOOOOOOSSSSSSHHHHH
PING!

Even more quickly than it appeared the portal closed leaving only the room as it was minus Discord, Spike, and Big Macintosh.
