//------------------------------// // The Chaos Begins // Story: Poison Joke'd // by Sky Blue Scratch //------------------------------// When Every pony awoke the next day, the sky started to spit out blue petals. No Pony realized what it truly was, and every pony just thought that some Pegasus decided to make the sky spit out blue petals instead of water for April foals day. Twilight Sparkle, however, was extremely suspicious. Her lavender coat was brushed with the petals as she galloped through Ponyville, collecting as many samples as her magic could hold. (Which, it turned out, was quite a lot of petals). She galloped back to the library as fast as the possibly could and scanned the petals with her magic, trying to find out what they were. She gasped loudly when she found out. *** Discord awoke with a start. Looking around his chaotic home, he remembered his devilish plan. He Smiled widely. "Lets go find out if any pony found out my scheme!" And he teleported away. Straight into Fluttershy's face. She squealed, then jumped out of sight. She too had been brushed with the brilliant blue petals he had fallen from the sky, and it too had affected her. Her legs were much shorter, and and her mane was 3 times the length that it was meant to be. She looked like a little filly, except with a full sized head and body and an extra long mane. She was rather adorable. Discord had to keep himself from gushing. The yellow Pegasus refused to come out from behind the couch behind which she was hiding. She merely spoke from behind, and started to growl at an amused Discord. "How dare you!" The animal lover cried " YOU made the entirety of ponyville rain poison joke!! Do you have anything to say for yourself?" The draconequus smiled. "Oh my dear Fluttershy, don"t you worry your pretty little head off. I did it to the rest of Equestria too!" Fluttershy then fainted into the lord of chaos's arms. *** The ponies of Manehatten were in full out panic mode. The moment the blue petals started to fall from the sky, a famous scientist had recognized them and had run for his life. The rest of Manehatten had followed suit. Everypony was was screeching at the strange effects of this magical flower. Horns of unicorns all around had either turned into ice-cream cones, flopped around uselessly or grown 10 times longer than they were meant to be. Pegasi were attempting to fly with wings made of paper, wobbling around the sky with wings of two different dimensions, and even were flailing around with 4 or 5 wings attached in the weirdest of places. Earth ponies were having trouble walking with legs made of sticks, wobbling around on two legs and even rolling about with no legs at all! While Discord viewed this chaos with a smirk on his face, the ponies around started to flog to doctors, scientists, or any pony who may have known what these strange blue flowers were. The scientists, doctors, and the knowledgeable ponies obliged instantly, asking each other for a cure. Of course, no pony had a cure, so they flogged to books instead. Twilight would have been proud. *** Meanwhile, across Equestria, everypony seemed to be having the same issues. Out in Fillydelphia, the ponies were having similar reactions to the magical properties of this plant. A mother pony with her son came trotting along, the mother trying to shepherd her son around the petals. Unfortunately, the young pony had taken an interest to the petals, and contently put one into his mouth. The mother shrieked for her son, attempting to remove the petal from his mouth. The son did not know that it was poison joke. Nor did he know that the flower works its magic quicker if it touches your spit. The effect was almost immediate. The son's age started to reduce rapidly, causing him to get younger by the second. The young stallion started to cry. The Mare instantly went to comfort her baby son, who was getting younger by the second. The blue flowers were already touching her, causing her ears to grow as long as a donkey's. She did not care one bit. Her only focus was on her son, who had now stopped shrinking. He was now the size and age of a newborn filly. She rushed him off to the doctor, who also has distorted body parts, and frantically explained her situation. The doctor understood fully, because the clinic was currently full of broken ponies who were having a similar situation. He comforted the fretting mare, explaining the senario. She prayed, with all her heart, that no one in Equestria was having any worse situatons. Oh, how wrong she was. *** In another part of Equestria, ponies all over the place were having just as worse problems. A group of ponies were struggling to contain a rampaging filly the size of a house. Some frantic ponies the size of ants galloped as fast as their hooves could take them away from a butterfly. A unicorn filly looked down at her hooves, which were now covered in a strange writing. Another filly was, to much dismay of her parents, jabbering away in rapid french. The whole of Equestria was in full out chaos, and Discord was loving it. He grinned with glee at the chaos. A curious filly was tugging at her father's mane, frantic for an answer as to what was going on. "Poison joke" came the reply. Discord smiled at this. The poor filly's mane and tail was missing. Discord thought that the prank was going wonderfly. *** Meanwhile in Ponyville a frantic Twilight Sparkle (Green coat and all) was flicking through her books at 300 miles per hour, page to page, book to book. The unicorn knew what these strange flowers were, and she knew what the cure was. She just needed to simultaniasly administer it to everypony in Equestria. A frazzled Fluttershy had visited not ten minutes ago, an explained what Discord had done to Equestria. The now-green unicorn had gone at once to the spa for the cure, only to have a closed sign put in her face. She had also gone to Zecora, only to be greeted by a spotted-not-striped-FURIOUS zebra who was refusing to brew anything. She sighed. Maybe she could ask Discord. DISCORD! she thought, feeling a rush of anger for the draconequus, that nasty son of a .... Discord poofed into the library, causing a startled green Twilight to jump. "Why hello, Twilight! How are you?" A smirking Discord asked. Twilight scowled for a moment before turning to face Discord. She gasped, looking at the creature and starting to form her lips into her own smirk. Discord frowned. "What is it?" Twilight laughed. "Well" she spoke slowly and confidently. "Did you check your own immunity before you made it rain poison joke?" "What? "Well, Discord, hate to tell you, but the poison joke that came from the sky has also affected you, silly" Discord gaped at her. "It did?" She smirked at a startled Discord. "Yep, and now, you happen to be a pony" Discord's only reaction was -"WHAT!!!"
