Chapter 4



(not so rushed version)



“I can’t believe you lost it!” exclaimed Twilight.

“I can’t believe I lost it either!” I agreed.

RUMMMBBBLLLEEEEE!!!!

Suddenly noises of screaming came from southward. We both looked at each other in confusion. Right after the glance, Twilight was shaken out of her library as it flipped upside down.

“Ugh. What in the name of Celestia just happened?” asked Twilight Sparkle dizzily.

“I have no clue. I’m really confused actually,” I said, shocked, as I looked upon Twilight's house. Twilight looked up to see her house destroyed for the second time.

“Again, really?” she said sounding irritated. Twilight remembered what previously happened with the necklace and grieved at all the effort it took her to build her house again. Suddenly, a bright flash came out of nowhere so intense, I was blinded for a minute.

“Ack! What’s happening now! Is it always this hectic here?” I asked Twilight through a haze.

“Yep. That’s Ponyville for you,” she responded in a joking tone of voice.



As a little time went by, strange things started happening all over Ponyville. Trees growing arms and legs, the ground gained a checkered pattern, the sky was turning pink; almost as if Ponyville itself was getting affected by poison joke.

“This is weird. Look at all this.....chaos. It’s crazy!” I almost yelled.

“This seems too........ I dunno, familiar, like it’s happened before,” responded Twilight Sparkle.

Living gummy bears started marching around like they were soldiers. Very strange to see. Just as I lost concentration, a telephone booth made of gummy bears randomly appeared behind me. I was so confused, I stood stock still.

“Yes I would like one candy floss pizza to go. Yes, yes, of course I want ice cream on top,” said a male voice coming from the telephone booth.

“Uhhhhhh, what the…?” I said really, and I mean really, confused.

“Hello there, little blue pony,” said the voice

“I know that voice, but I don't remember from who,” said Twilight

“Ahhh. Twilight Sparkle. You’re here too. Don't you remember me? I mean, it was a major event and all; you did imprison me after all!” said the voice muffled by the sound of, eating? Out of the booth appeared a beast which walked on two legs, had an eagle claw, a lion’s paw, dragon’s legs, the wings of a pegasus, one fang protruding from its mouth, the mane of a pony, the tail of a snake, and a little beard under his chin.

“DISCORD?! How.....but......why.....!?!?” exclaimed a baffled Twilight Sparkle.

“Surprised to see me? BOO!” joked Discord. Twilight and I jumped back.

“Well, I guess you are surprised to see me. Oh by the way, do you like my new necklace. I have grown quite fond of it,” gloated Discord.

“Give it back!!” Twilight and I both yelled in unison.

“Well, nopony is getting it back until a little manners are used, if they are getting it back at all, which I doubt. It is very nice,” added Discord.

“Discord, can I please have the necklace?” I asked fluttering my eyes.

“Doesn’t that sound nicer? Hmmm, let me think........what about, NO!” Discord immediately cracked up laughing uproariously.

“I do believe you’re going to have to try a lot better than that. I have an idea. If you stop me, not only will I give you the necklace, but I’ll leave you alone. FOREVER! And one more thing. Don’t bother trying to use your precious elements of harmony. They won’t help you anymore. If you fire at me, I’ll simply teleport somewhere else at random,” said Discord.

POOF. Discord disappeared seconds after a tidal wave of cotton candy clouds filled the sky.

“Here we go again,” sighed Twilight.

CSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH. The sound of rain – uuuhhhh, chocolate rain started to fill the air.





Twilight and I started walking off to go find the other girls. We were first to find Pinkie Pie, drinking the chocolate rain.

“Yay! It’s raining chocolate again!” she exclaimed gulping large amounts of chocolate rain.

Twilight just facehoofed before we both noticed Rainbow Dash circling the cotton candy clouds and tying them in a ball with the help of Applejack.

“EEEE!! Not again!” screamed Rarity who was knocked over by a group of long legged rabbits.

“GIRLS! We need to go to Canterlot to talk to the Princess. No time to explain, just hurry!!” yelled Twilight, her voice stopping everyone in their tracks

“Where’s Fluttershy?” I quickly asked.

“I’ll get her. You guys go on without me. I’ll catch up,” said Rainbow Dash.

Twilight simply nodded her head and said, “C’mon girls. Let’s go!” We all headed off in the direction of Canterlot.



About 30 minutes later Applejack stopped in her tracks.

“Twi.’ I ain’t going another step ‘til you tell me what the hay is going on!” she announced.

“I’m sorry girls, I - we all needed to go and I didn't have time. Crystal do you mind if I tell them what’s going on?” Twilight said. I thought about it for a moment before coming to the conclusion they were going to find out anyway.

“Yeah sure, but I would like to tell them instead,” I said. Twilight nodded her head. I turned and faced my small crowd and announced, “I know I have not been here long, and I should have told you all what I really am. You see, I’m not from Ponyville. In fact, I’m not even from Equestria. I’m from a different world entirely. I doubt anyone has ever left Equestria or even heard of this place. It’s a strange world with different creatures. There are ponies there, but they don't talk, can’t fly, or use magic. It’s extremely hard to explain,” I said, trying my hardest not to blush again.

“I don't understand. It simply doesn’t make sense darling,” Rarity said confused.

“I don't understand much either Rarity. I don't know why I’m here. I wish I had answers myself,” I responded.

“And that's why we’re going to Canterlot. To find out, and stop Discord of course.” Twilight giggled at the end of her sentence.

“How are we gonna stop Discord Twilight?” asked Rainbow Dash. I started blushing as she spoke. Rainbow Dash noticed but didn’t say anything.

“The same way as before. With the elements of harmony,” said Twilight.

“Didn‘t Discord say that they won’t work on him anymore?” I responded.

“Discord could be lying and hiding something. We‘ll have to try,” responded the lavender pony.

“B-b-b-but, the chocolate rain!!! Girls, where do you get chocolate rain?! SERIOUSLY! Think this through!” yelled Pinkie Pie. Everyone rolled their eyes.

“Well, mah question has been answered. So what ‘r’ y’all waitin’ for? Let’s go!” Applejack announced.

Before we got the chance, we noticed what seemed to be a horribly cruel joke that looked like something Discord would certainly do; Princess Celestia solidified in stone, just as Discord had been.

“Oh no oh no oh no no no no no no!!! Without the princess, we’ll never know where the Elements are! What do we do?!” said Twilight Sparkle, almost hyperventilating.

“Whoa. Calm down sugar cube. Maybe Princess Luna could help. She is a powerful princess ya’ know,” said Applejack grasping Twilight.

“We must go on everypony. It’s the only option,” said Fluttershy with more courage than normal.

“Fluttershy’s right you know. We have to keep moving if we want to stop Discord. It’s our only hope! I know I’m not an Element of harmony, but I’ll help in any way I can!” I said, giving Twilight a burst of hope.

“Ok everpony, let’s go! Onward to Canterlot!” said Twilight, giving out a burst of confidence.

So we all head off into the direction of Canterlot, not knowing of the events that were to unfold!

End chapter 4
