//------------------------------// // A Turn for Chaos (1) // Story: Sons of Discord // by Deoface //------------------------------// Chapter One A Turn for Chaos. Eris examined his handiwork. He was impressed at his capabilities. Who knew that he was such a natural at plotting? Everything was as planned, even a bit better. All of the required "tools" were here, (Pinkie really came through for him this time) and now it was nearly time to take action. "Alright, let's go through the plan one more time" He checked his watch. "Ah! No time!" Silver Spoon's party for Roseheart was starting. Eris raced for the door. At the party: "Wow Silver Spoon, this party's really great!" Roseheart thanked her with a hoofshake, naturally Silver Spoon shied away. "Yes.. Well, of course it is. After all, I did plan it." Silver Spoon bragged, enjoying the moment. It's true, the party was great. The filly hadn't had such a great party like this for a while. The games were a hit, the food was good, and everypony and her mother had someone to talk to. And it's all because I didn't invite those annoying cutie mark crusaders.. Or that other one, Eris I think it was? Best party I've had in- Silver Spoon almost forgot who's party it was. Not that it really mattered. "Of course this is you're party after all. I did it all for you." (Lie) "Aw, thanks Silver, you're such a great friend!" Roseheart continued sucking up to Silver Spoon. This, too, was a lie. "Well true friends get each other drinks!" Silver Spoon began losing control of herself, and just gave up. It was too hard for her to resist playing these fillies in the horseshoe of her hoof. "Anything for you!" (Lie) As Roseheart raced off, suddenly the front door slammed open. The music, and party stopped. Then, rolling into the middle of the party, was a catering cart, with a cake on it. Written on the cake were the words "For the best filly of all Ponyville." "What a nice.. but weird.. gift!" Silver spoon broke the silence. "After all, I'm the best filly, and my favorite icing is cherry. THANK YOU!" She said, with her the slightest hint of modesty. "Hah! No offense Silver Spoon, but we all know that.. well, I am the most popular filly in ALL of EQUESTRIA!" Diamond Tiara mocked. Silver Spoon motioned to speak up, but was interrupted. "Now, hold on, it's obviously for me, I mean, it IS my cutie mark party!" Roseheart spoke up. Soon, everypony was adding in to the conversation, contesting that, clearly, THEY were the best pony. It wasn't long before the party broke out into a big fight. Silver Spoon grabbed Roseheart's hair, Diamond Tiara threw a muffin at Twist, and it wasn't long before the entire party went into chaos... And, watching from outside, was Eris. Laughing. Rolling on the ground, enjoying his success. "AHAHAHA! That was GREAT! They were all 'HEY! IT'S FOR ME' And 'NO ME!'" Eris laughed to himself. "Oh man... I have to do that again!" <><><> The following week was a long, busy, enjoyable week for Eris. So far he had scared Opalescence into a tree, caused the sheep folk to go on a stamped, dressed up as a monster and scared the townsfolk, and replaced Golden Harvest's seeds with those of Poison Joke. In another of Eris's pranks, he whited out all of the words from twilight's book "The Heroes of Harmony". This particular prank, at the time, did not seem like it would have any long term uses. Then, one day, this book became the start of Eris's best prank yet. He started writing. And writing, and writing. Then, after months of writing, he finished. And so begins his greatest prank. <><><> Twilight opens the door. "Eris? What is it? I thought I made it very clear that you are not allowed to "borrow" any more books from my library." Twilight asked, slightly confused by his re-appearance. "Oh, you did Miss. Twilight. And that's why I came! After I pranked you I felt soooo bad. So I took the liberty of re-writing the entire book!" Eris said, with fake enthusiasm. "You- What? Amazing! Can I see it?" Twilight was surprised. Eris never seemed like the type of pony who would apologize, let alone this. "No, see, I was also really sad that none of you're friends got to see the book, before I took it, either. So I'm going to send them a copy of the book, so that they personally can give you there own opinion of the book." Eris began enjoying Twilight's easy preying. "Wow Eris. This is really thoughtful of you.. Alright. Sure, go ahead and send them the copies!" "Of course Miss Twilight, right away." Eris trotted off. <><><> He visited Applejack first. "A book? She wrote a book? Hehe, well that sounds just like Twi. Thank ya' kindly, young'in" Applejack took the book. Next he visited Fluttershy. "Oh, how neat! I knew that Twilight always wanted to write a book. I'll start reading it right away!" Then Rarity "I would.. But I'm very busy." Well, then again, I DO owe Twilight for blowing off her birthday. "Oh, alright." Then Rainbow Dash "Here let me just sign this for you.. What should I make it out to? How about to my biggest fan-" Eris stopped her. "No no. It's a book that Twilight wrote. I was delivering them to all of her friends, so they can read and review it!" Eris explained. "Oh.... Right.... A book... I'll read it when I get around to it.." She too the book, hesitantly, and raced off. Lastly Pinkie Pie "A book? I read a book once! It was really cool! Taught me all sorts of things! It was called 'Cookbook'. Cool title right?" "Sure..." With that, all of the books had been handed out.. Now, it was time to sit back, and watch the chaos. At Twilights: Twilight was reading a book in bed, with a cup of coco, running on the same schedule. I wonder what my friends will think of the book... Her thoughts were broken when her door was slammed open, and all of her friends came pouring in. "Geeze, that book must have been better than I thought, if you're all so eager to tell me.." Twilight said, as all of her friends raced in at once. But, the expression on her friends faces were not friendly. "WE HATED IT!" Everypony yelled at once. "Wha-" Twilight stuttered. "You call This an Adventure? If only I had a word in my dictionary to explain how.. UNCOUTH this book is!" Applejack yelled. "I Concur with Applejack! No friend of mine would write anything like this!" Rarity screamed "Meany." Fluttershy said, with mild anger. "You know Twilight, if you don't like me, you could have just said so!" Pinkie turned around, batted Twilight's face with her tail and walked away. Everypony else looked to Rainbow Dash for her outburst. "What? I didn't read it. I was too.. Er..Busy." Rainbow looked around. Rarity flew the opened book over to Rainbow, and she read a few lines. "Not. Cool." Rainbow said, her expression changed quickly. "WELL... FINE! WHO NEEDS FRIENDS LIKE YOU GUYS ANYWAYS?" Twilight ran to her room. The kindness fell from Fluttershy. The sharing left Rarity. The loyalty fled from Rainbow. The truth fleeted from Applejack. The laughter was silenced from Pinkie. The magic was gone from Twilight. And somewhere, deep in the Canterlot vaults, chaos returned.
