A Bark Of Chaos

by Fluskie


Something's Off

Over the next few weeks and months, Discord and Marshmallow were bonding just great. While Discord was teaching Marshmallow his own tricks with chaos and how to make their own, Marshmallow was teaching Discord some games it liked to play. Discord and Marshmallow played fetch with each other a bit but with a little spin. Discord would throw one of his limbs for Marshmallow to catch. It would seem disturbing to others but the two enjoyed it. However, there was other things that Discord learned that weren't so fun. Picking up Marshmallow's droppings and cleaning Marshmallow wasn't so fun. Though, breakfast, lunch, and dinner were always fun since they would play a little game while eating.

Other then just him and Marshmallow, the Mane Six were quickly informed that he had his own pet. Some disagreeing that he probably shouldn't of had one and others thought it would be fine. However, Fluttershy enjoyed it when ever she was invited over or she invited him over when he had Marshmallow. Today however would be interesting. Fluttershy had invited him and Marshmallow to a pet park where all the others would be with their pets for a pet play date. Him and Marshmallow had just teleported there now as they waited for their friends to quickly arrive.

"Alright Marshmallow, lets practice the trick a little."

Marshmallow gave a bark as they sat down. Discord snapped a fork on Marshmallow's nose. It balanced wobbling slightly as Marshmallow continued to hold it on their nose. Discord snapped, slipping under Marshmallow and slowly but carefully lifting them up. All the while, Marshmallow was able to keep balance with the fork and was lifted all the way up.

"Discord!"

As soon as someone was heard yelling his name, Discord suddenly fell backwards with Marshmallow and they both came tumbling down as the fork flew in the air. His friend Fluttershy was coming with her pet Angel but soon came to a screeching stop as the fork landed right in front of her on the ground.

"Woah!..That was close. Anyway, hello Discord. I'm glad you came. Uh..Are you alright?" Fluttershy quickly asked after she noticed Discord recovering from falling on to the ground.

"Ugrr..Yeah, I'm fine. Just a mess up I suppose." He said, dusting himself off a bit as he helped Marshmallow up.

"Well, the others should be here soon." Fluttershy said cheerfully. "I also brought some toys and snacks for the pets. I brought some biscuits and others toys for you and Applejack since you both have dogs."

"Do I really have to share with the country pony?" Discord complained.

"Discord..." Fluttershy said in a stern voice.

"Alright, fine." Discord crossed his arms.

Sure enough though, their friends began to arrive. Everyone began to gather around with their pets. However, Marshmallow seem to be shy of the others and hid behind Discord.

"Oh come now, Marshmallow. We're not doing this today." He picked up his dog now.

"Marshmallow? Well, its Discord I guess." Rainbow said, landing with Tank.

Pinkie suddenly zoomed in between all her friends and stopped in front of Marshmallow. "Ooo! Marshmallow huh? Is it a he or she? Can we eat mars-" Discord covered Pinkie's mouth suddenly. "You can eat marshmallows with it all I want, I don't care. And I don't know what gender it is." Discord answered her.

"Its a she Discord. I thought I told you on the letter." Fluttershy replied. "And also..It might not be a good idea to feed her marshmallows..It might make her sick."

"Oh...I might of ripped that box to shreds..Hehe.." Fluttershy let out a sigh of disappointment as Twilight quickly interrupted. "Well, why don't we go on and have some free time with our pets now." The others nodded in agreement as they began playing with their pets.

Fluttershy spilled out the toys and treats for the pets. A red ball suddenly caught Marshmallow's attention and she bounded over to it, grabbing it, and bringing it back to Discord wagging her tail. Discord grinned as he levitated the ball out of her mouth and suddenly threw it aside. Marshmallow went to go grab it when she was soon grabbed by his magic and lifted into the air.

"Annndd...FETCH!" Discord yelled as he threw Marshmallow as hard as he could as she went flying into the distance howling. The Mane Six all watched with wide eyes of terror as her howling slowly faded.

"D-Discord...WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?" Twilight asked through fear.

"Sssh..Watch." Discord replied as they waited for a bit and the howling started to come back. He opened his arms wide as he caught Marshmallow once again. She was wearing a hat now suddenly and a few stamps on her fur, yet, she was unharmed. Fluttershy fainted suddenly as the rest of the ponies who were once holding their breath let go and panted.

"Never..Do that again. For the love of Equestria.." Applejack said through gasps of relief.

"What? We practice these kind of things all the time at home!"

"A-All..T-The time?.." Rarity soon fainted as well.

***
The day soon went on as the ponies had fun taking care of their pets together with their friends and playing with them. However, as the sun was soon setting, all the ponies began packing up. Discord was quick to stop them though as he teleported in front of all of them with Marshmallow.

"Wait! One more thing before you all go.." Discord now looked down at Marshmallow and winked. She clearly got the message as she got into formation again. She sat down, balancing the fork again. Discord appearing under her and lifting her up all the way up into the air. She stood on one hind leg and held the fork on her nose still. Though, something suddenly went wrong. Marshmallow let out a painful yelp and collapsed from her stance into Discord's paws as the fork fell as well.
