//------------------------------// // A New Look // Story: Not so Friendly Prank // by chaos2012 //------------------------------// Princess Celestia was walking from her bed to her bathroom, still groggy from waking up. She felt as if her head was spinning, and her eyes were so tired she could hardly keep them open. Trotting over to the shower, she knew the nice warm water would make her feel better. Stepping inside the tub, she flipped he switch, closing her eyes while letting the water fall down her face and- The water felt really thick, and sticky too. Confused, she stepped back so she could open her eyes in the... "Tomato juice!?" She screams out. She looks down and sees her white fur stained red. Her shock then turns to rage when she hears the laughter outside of the window. "Ohh, hehehehee! this is priceless!" Discord chuckled, staring right back at the glaring alicorn, "I Must say Tia, I love your new look that you are trying out. It matches your mood!" He snaps his talons together, vanishing in a pink flash. "DISCORD! GET BACK HERE!" Celestia screamed as she ran out of the bathroom, not caring about the splatters of red across her carpet. She was about to throw open the door until it opened on its own, or she thought it had. standing outside her bedroom door was her younger sister, her normally blue fur was stained a bright green. "He got you too, didn't he?" Luna glared towards her sister, whos red fur and bloodshot eyes gave her answer away. _____________________________________________ It took Princess Celestia and Princess Luna over an hour to scrub the stains out of their bodies. Both were furious that their friend thought this was funny. While Discord always did love jokes and messing around with others, sometimes his humor was a little too much for others to handle. After cleaning up, they each went on to their separate duties, Luna having to talk to the other council members, and Celestia having to go meet up with the captain of the guard. As she walked, Celestia noticed the shadow floating behind her. Knowing who exactly who it was, she just glared forward and continued to walk. The spirit floated down to her side, hovering just a few feet off the ground. Discord giggled seeing how frustrated his white friend was, "So Tia, did you enjoy that special bath this morning? It was my special recipe!" Celestia turned to the floating creature, " Discord, I know you enjoy pranks, but you have to remember you can't cause us trouble right before we have important duties... Or jokes which are very troublesome to us." "Oh you always have to spoil my fun." discord frowns and crosses his arms, "I'm the spirit of chaos, this is what I do." "Look, I know you like pranks, but I must ask you to keep yourself from doing any tomorrow; my sister and I have a public meeting in Canterlot square, and we cannot have any problems. Do you understand?" Discord frowns, turning his head away, "Fine. No pranks tomorrow." "Thank you. Now, I must be off." she walks off towards her destination. Waiting until Celestia was out of ear range, he grins and taps his claws together, thinking of the new idea in his head, " Hehehe! Oh that is a brilliant idea!" _________________________ The next morning, Celestia awoke from her sleep very rested. Getting out of bed, though, she noticed something was different, but she couldn't figure it out. "CELESTIA!!!!!!!" Celestia jumped up, startled by her sisters scream. She ran over to her bedroom door, and opened it to- "Oh my gosh!!" Celestia's eyes went wide in shock at what beholded her. Luna was standing there, her mane and her horn gone from her head. Her wings were missing as well. Celestia was shocked, but before she could say anything, her sister's eyes grew as well, "He-he got you too!?" Luna forced out. Celestia's mind began racing at that statement, panicking what had been done to her while she slept. Running over to her mirror, she gasped at the reflection; her long mane and horn were gone as well, and her wings too. Her eyes became fueled with anger, her nostrils flaring out, " I told him no pranks today!" The laughter from the bedroom balcony caught their attention. Turning, they saw discord standing their, with their wings attached to his back. In his large lion paw, he held both of their horns, and topping those off were their manes wrapped around them like cotton candy. Celestia was fuming by this point, her face Turning a deep red, "Discord! You promised no pranks today!" Discord laughed, looking back to the now bald princess, "yes, I did say I wouldn't prank you today. You didn't say anything about pranks in the middle of the night! So I slipped in and... POOF!" Luna stepped forward, her plain head glistening in the sunlight, "You had better give us our hair and other things back now!" "Sorry, Lulu, I've become, as you should say, attached to these wings..." he floats up in he air, flapping all six of the wings on his back, cackling uncontrollably, "and, I'm a little hungry at the moment, so...." he lifts his arm up, and takes a bite out of the blue mane. Luna screams at what she sees, "DO NOT EAT THAT! SPIT IT OUT!" Discord continues to chew, then swallows the bite, "Mmm. Just like I expected... Blueberry." he then looks down to the other bundle of hair, "hmm. Let me guess, rainbow sherbet?" Celestia begins to run toward the spirit, "DON'T YOU DARE!". Before she can reach him, Discord floats away from the balcony, just out of reach of the raging princess. Celestia stomps around angrily, knowing she can't use her magic to pull him back. Discord takes a bite out of the multi colored mane, swirling it around his mouth. He chews for a few more seconds before finally talking, " well thats surprising. I didn't know that you were bubble gum, Tia." He laughs so hard he somersaults in midair. "Discord, this isn't funny! Knock it off!" Luna pleaded. The chaotic spirit turned to her,"Actually, it is hilarious! And I'm Being serious when I say you two look fabulous! No doubt you two will start a new fashion trend with this!" he laughed and flew off from the castle. Both sisters leaned over the balcony rail, glaring at the fleeing creature, "DISCORD!!!!!!!!!!" Both screamed out simultaneously. Discord flew off, taking a few more bites out of his special treat. He continued to laugh to himself, " Oh, I just love a good joke!"
