//------------------------------// // Dinnertime with Discord // Story: Pets N' Ponies // by ShopperBrony90 //------------------------------// "Russell? Russell!" The first thing he saw were big blue eyes. Then, he saw a black hat. Then, it all came together. It was Zoe. Er, three Zoes? Zoe's voice was muffled and echo-like. "Twilight, he's still unconscious." Zoe said. Twilight looked at Pinkie. She was stuffing marshmallows in her mouth. "Aha!" Twilight levitated a marshmallow out of Pinkie's bag. She showed the treat to Russell. "AHHHH!" Russell was wide awake but rolled in a ball. "M-M-Marshm-mallow?" He said, shakily. "Bwahahhahahahahahahha! You're afraid of marshmallows? How funny is that? Hahahahaha!" Rainbow laughed. "It's not funny, Rainbow!" Twilight said, firmly. "Russell, are you okay." Russell came out of his ball. "I-I think." He answered. "What happened?" "Some ponies crashed into my cart." Applejack explained. She glared at Apple Bloom. "Hehe." She smiled weakly. "We're sorry." Scootaloo touched the back of her neck. "I guess we got...a little carried away." The fillies stepped back. Soon, the made their escape out the back door of the barn. There was a sudden snap, and then a mysterious creature appeared. "I don't suppose I join the conversation?" Of course, the pet went crazy. "AHHHHHH!" yelled Sunil. "WHAT IS THAT?!" Russell ran behind Twilight. "Is it here to take us? A-Are we safe?" Penny Ling gulped. Vinnie grabbed her shoulders and shook her. "Of course, we're not safe. That thing is probably an ALIEN! AHHHH!" "Um, every pony?" Fluttershy whispered. The pets ignored her. "Every pony, please stop!" Fluttershy said, softly. She was still ignored. "Oh my. I hate to do this, but you leave me no choice." Fluttershy flew to the top of the room. She inhaled, then exhaled. "Is she really?" Applejack whispered to Pinkie. "I think so." she replied. "She wouldn't!" Rarity joined the conversation. "Oh, she would." Applejack and Pinkie Pie said together. Blythe couldn't help but overhear. "Um, sorry guys. But what is she going to do?" They all looked at each other. "The Stare!" And she did. Everyone stopped. They looked at Fluttershy. Fluttershy introduced the creature. "Okay everyone, this is Discord, and he is a draconequus. "Hello, friends of Fluttershy! Good to meet you! You talking pets are simply adorable!" Discord exclaimed. With a snap of his tail, he turned into a gray fox. Then, he snapped back. "Oh, hi Discord! I'm Penny Ling! And that's Sunil." Penny Ling pointed to the mongoose. "Any friend of Fluttershy is a friend of mine!" Discord snapped his hand and teleported closer to Penny Ling. He grabbed her paw and shook it hard. "Then friends we are, Penny Ring." Penny Ling clenched her paws. "Hey!" The panda said. After introducing everyone, Fluttershy looked at the clock. "Oh my, it's late!" The clock said 7:30. "Celestia has already lowered the sun! Luna is raising the moon! We haven't had dinner yet!" "Allow me." Discord snapped his hands and a table with food appeared. "Tea, cucumber sandwiches, and biscuits!" Discord caught Blythe's attention. "B-Biscuits?" Discord turned to Blythe. "Yes, istheir something wrong?" Blythe shook her head. "Yes! I-I mean no! I mean, what?" Discord was confused. "Well, if biscuits don't agree with you, I suppose hayburgers will do." Discord snapped his fingers. Hayburgers appeared on the table. The pets, ponies, Spike, and Discord sat down. Twilight scooted closer to Blythe. "Psst." Twilight whispered. "What?" Blythe asked. "What is it with you and biscuits?" Twilight asked. "Oh, nothing." Blythe scooted away. "Well, of course something is wrong." Twilight said. "Whatever it is, you can tell me. I'm the Princess of Friendship." "Oh, there were just these annoying girls named the Biscuit Twins back where I live." Blythe explained. "Well, look on the bright side." Twilight assured. "Now that you're here, you won't annoyed by those girls." Blythe looked more worried. "But what If they come to Equestria? Their magic could get out of hoof." Twilight smiled. "I'm sure we'll find a way to control their magic." Suddenly, Spike burped out a letter. "It's from Princess Celestia!" Twilight said. "Great." Russell said, sarcastically. "There are more princesses?"
