//------------------------------// // Season 1 Episode 0 // Story: A Discordant Reality // by The-Third //------------------------------// Discord checked his microphone to make sure it was on, tapping on it and hearing feedback. “Are you ready Pinkie Pie?” He looked over to the overactive pink pony, she was the only one who wanted to do this, although all of her friends decided to do the show except Fluttershy, because, well she was Fluttershy! She decid- His thoughts were interrupted by Pinkie “Sure Am! Are the contestants ready?” “I think” Discord looked over at the camera crew and nodded for them to start the show “And Action!” a pony in the back of the set called “Hello!” Discord Began “And Welcome To. .” “A Discordant Reality!” He and Pinkie said in sync, they had been practicing that for about three hours. “So Discord, you said we were meeting our contestants today, but I don’t see them” Pinkie said, he could already tell that she was a great actor, and her cheery attitude made her great for a TV show. "Well, We Are!" Discord Read from his script without making it seem that way, at least to the best of his abilities, most of the show was going to be unscripted, he decided to script this episode to help him and Pinkie get into the swing of things. He snapped his finger and teleported "Welcome to the Castle!" Discord began "An exact copy of Celestia's castle in Canterlot, where our players will be staying for the next few months, and the winner will win the house as well as 10,000 Bits!" He snapped his fingers and made an applause sound for the show, who needed special effects when you had chaos magic. "First up is the princess of friendship herself, Twilight Sparkle!" The camera turned over to a door as Twilight walked with a smug face, she was confident that she could easily win the competition, with her smarts and magical ability. "Hello, Discord, Pinkie" She sat down in her seat and took a sip of the tea provided for her during this interview. "Hey Twilight!" Pinkie was excited, like always, to see her friend. "Are you excited for the new Show?" "I am, I think the competition will come easy to me." Discord didn't understand why Twilight was acting so smug, it wasn't like her. At least what he had seen of her, witch wasn't much. He usually spent time with Fluttershy. The interview continued in a similar fashion, Pinkie asking questions, Twilight answering them, and Discord commenting on her answers. After a few minutes, Pinkie said she had no more questions, and Twilight left the TV Studio "But before we continue on, I'd like to simply list off our contestants" Discord snapped and a small piece of paper poofed in front of him. "Let's see, we have Twilight Sparkle, whom we just talked to, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Spike the dragon, Pinkie are you sure he's old enough to do this, he is considered a baby dragon" "Silly Discord, He's 11 years old, he can handle this" Discord was worried, Pinkie was getting more and more off script, but Pinkie had a big smile. She was confident that all of the contestants had a chance to win "Okay, anyways, we also have Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, The Great and Powerful Trixie, what a boastful name if I say so myself, and a mystery guest that we won't even be able to interview today! that's a surprise for you guys at home to try to figure out. If you want a clue, all I can say is that this character is completely off the record and quite random, so take your guesses!" "It's sounds so exciting Discord! Now let's go through the rest of these boring interviews so I can start planning the welcome party for our contestants." Pinkie almost jumped from excitement when she said party, she was the element of laughter, so Discord understood why she acted that way. "Alight Pinkie, Let's get Rarity on here and finish this up" The door into the studio opened to reveal Rarity, as classy and as beautiful as ever. Discord knew that he needed her for his show, drama sells, and Rarity has drama. "Good Morning Rarity, how are you today?" Pinkie asked "Why Pinkie, It has been great, this new castle that you and Discord showed us around looks absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait to spend some time to relax in it and not have to worry about my boutiques." "Well, Rarity, Discord and I were wondering who you think will be the biggest challenge for you to live with for the next few months?" Pinkie was already pretty sure what the answer was, but the viewers may not, they don't know Rarity as much as she did. "Most Likely Applejack, she's so sloppy, and just bleh" Rarity said with slight disgust towards her friend. "If you don't win, who do you want to win" Pinkie asked next "Sweetie Belle, Most Likely. If she won, than I'm sure she would be willing to let me use this place with her" Rarity was excited at the idea to have a vacation home and as long as she could actually use it, she didn't care who actually owned it. "Well, thank you Rarity" Pinkie decided to end the interview there, and get the last ponies to interview. "Although we could not get ahold of Trixie, Applejack, Spike, Or Rainbow Dash, we did get ahold of the CMC for one last interview" Discord said as Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo entered the room and sat in three different chairs "So A Question for all of you, you guys are considered a team, but are you guys gonna try to work together to try to win this?" Pinkie read from a little note card "I don't know yet, I don't have a plan" Sweetie Belle lied, she had an idea, but not a very detailed one. It involved singing, recording, and insomnia. "I do" Scootaloo Said "I will just use my scooter and beat everyone else!" "Scootaloo Fer' the last time, this ain't a race" Apple Bloom said, slightly annoyed "It's a TV show!" "Yeah, Yeah, your just saying that so you can win with me being confused" Scootaloo said frustrated "It is a TV show" Discord had been quiet this entire time, but was getting tired of the arguing "Pinkie, is there any more questions you want to ask?" Pinkie Shook her head, as the Cutie Mark Crusaders exited the room. "Well, This has been A Discordant Reality, Tune in next time to see the competition begin" Discord Motioned for The cameraman to stop recording and that's a wrap
