Upon seeing Ponyville in sight, Discord landed on a cloud. It pleased him to see the town, even though it wasn’t chaotic. He smiled and started to fly again. Upon reaching the town, he landed. But not three seconds had passed when he was met with a huge smile. Grinning at him with her blue batting eyes, he knew it was her.
Pinkie Pie.
“Hello…!” she said, staring into the disguised draconiques’s eyes. She seemed not to recognize him. If she had she’d probably be begging for chocolate rain by now.
Discord smiled widely, “Hi!” he said.
Pinkie batted her eyes; “Are you new here?” she looked as if she was inching closer to him.
“Why, yes! I am!” Discord waited to see what Pinkie would do next. She gasped and ran off. Leaving Discord quite confused. A few moments later, she returned. Pushing an odd looking object, it looked like a firearm of some sort.
“YEAH!” Pinkie pressed a button and confetti exploded into Discord’s face with a loud noise that sounded like a party horn. “I’m Pinkie Pie! It’s so great to meet you! What’s your name? Where ya from? You movin’ into town? Will you be my friend?” she showered him with endless questions.
“Um…” he looked around for something to be an inspiration for a name. He needed something logical, but somewhat silly. What’s the point, after all, if you have a name and it’s boring? “My name is…”
Two ponies were discussing sales figures at a shop window. Discord noticed them and came up with an idea…
“Dis…my name is Dis…count…Yeah, Discount!” Discord grinned nervously.
Pinkie had an awkward expression on her face, “Discount?” she said, cocking her head.
Discord nodded, “Yup! That’s my name, alright! Do you like cotton candy?”
Pinkie jumped up high, “Great name! And yes, sure I do! Why?” she bounced up and down.
“Just wondering. And thanks!” Discord looked behind Pinkie, on which he noticed a yellow Pegasus talking with a white Unicorn. He froze.
“Hey! I have an idea! I should introduce you to my friends! I’m sure they’ll all like you!” Pinkie smiled.
Discord gulped, “Y-your friends?”
“Yupper dupper!”
“Ah. Um…alright…” Discord blushed.
“Pinkie!” a blue earth pony walked up to Pinkie. Her mane and tail were pink and she was wearing a frosting-stained apron. Her pink eyes were happy and joyful.
“Oh, hey, Ms. Cake! This is Discount! He’s new to Ponyville!” Pinkie explained.
“Oh?” Ms. Cake smiled, “It’s nice to meet you!” she stuck out her hoof.
Discord winced, but shook it. “The pleasure’s…all mine.” He nervously said.
Ms. Cake turned to Pinkie, “Would you mind watching the twins? Mr. Cake and I have to go to Canterlot for the afternoon.”
“Sure! Oh, can Discount come?” Pinkie said, glancing at Discord.
Discord’s mouth twitched, could he really be good with kids? Well, all the ones he had met so far had either laughed or cried. Or laughed so hard they’d cry. Or cry so hard they’d laugh. He really wasn’t sure.
“Fine with me!” Ms. Cake smiled and turned around. Pinkie bounced after her.
“Come on, Dissy!” she turned back to him with a huge grin.
Discord laughed and followed her. Dissy. He hadn’t been called that in a long time…
