Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle looked at the strange new pony, Twilight Sparkle with a mix of confusion and just a little fear. Why wasn't this pony talking? Why was she staring at Discord so intensely? This couldn't be good at all. Pinkie Pie with a huge grin on her face. Even though the other pony hadn't spoken yet didn't mean she wouldn't. Maybe she was shy like their friend Fluttershy. She kept talking to her, excitedly.

'Are you shy?' Pinkie Pie gasped. 'Can you even talk?'

'I'm sure she can talk Pinkie,' came Twilight's reply, slight frustration in her voice. 'Do you know who that is?'

'Discord,' came a soft reply from Chaos.

'And you're here...' but Twilight Sparkle realized Chaos was still trying to speak.

'I'm sorry, what was that?'

'But who is Discord? And who am I? Well besides Chaos that is. Where am I? I was in the darkness, and the next thing I know I'm dropped on the...ground. I didn't even know what the ground was before he showed me. How can he be that bad?'

'Oh boy...Is she serious? This cannot be happening,' Twilight Sparkle thought, slightly frantic.

'Well, we have a few friends that might want to help explain that one. Want to come to the library?'

Chaos turned for a moment, the blank look she gave said it all. Twilight Sparkle sighed. 'Okay, I'm going to go get them. Pinkie Pie, you can stay here if you want. I don't think I have to ask you to wait here...Chaos.' Twilight Sparkle rushed off. Maybe they would be able to prevent a disaster for once, instead of having to stop one that had already started.

There was one big issue that kept bothering Twilight Sparkle as she went.

Could Chaos be trusted?

'I'm so glad you can talk! I was getting worried!' Pinkie Pie exclaimed as she jumped around, excitedly. 'Do you know any games?'

'What's your name?'

'Oh silly me, it's Pinkie Pie. Are you really Chaos?!? Chaos is okay I guess...I mean not Discord's kind of chaos, but some random stuff happening is great.' Pinkie Pie stopped.

'You aren't that kind of chaos, are you?' Pinkie Pie looked at her with pleading eyes.

Chaos turned to Pinkie Pie. 'I don't know, Pinkie Pie. I don't know who or what I am.'

'Well,duh. You're an earth...Wait a minute! Where did that horn come from?'

'I have...a horn...Are you sure it wasn't there before?'

'Absolutely! I just watched it appear. Hey maybe that means you can do magic. Try it out!'

'Okay.' Chaos concentrated, felt some strange force flow through her. And as she did her horn disappeared, and she suddenly had wings. Not just any wings though, strange wings. One was red and bat-like, the other a black feathery one. If she knew the truth, whose wings they were so close to, it would have further confused her. But she didn't, at least not yet.

SPLAT

A cake fell right on Pinkie Pie's head. Chaos gasped.

'Sorry Pinkie Pie. I don't know why I had cake, but I really didn't mean to....' She was cut off by pinkie Pie, giggling.

'Oh this is just...I love it.' Pinkie Pie began to wipe the cake off and eat it. 'Mmmmm, so good too. You're worrying too much Chaos. I'm sure you'll make lots of friends! Hey, you've already made one!'

'Who?'

'You reminded me of a friend of mine. He says who...A lot.' Pinkie pie tilted her head for a moment, as if thinking, before continuing. 'He isis an owl though.' She gasped.

'Your wings!'

'My...my what?'

Twilight Sparkle was almost back,their other friends with her, when she heard Pinkie Pie scream.

'You are Discord's chaos!' They all began to run to Pinkie Pie. All of them hoping it wasn't too late. Discord couldn't be allowed to come back, and they couldn't let anything happen to Pinkie Pie.

They arrived to find Pinkie Pie saying, 'well that's what I would say, if it was more than just the wings. You're Chaos, right? You got a horn out of nowhere, and then wings. And you made cake appear out of nowhere. Cake! So far, you're alright by me. Hey can you give me my own cotton candy cloud that gives me chocolate rain when I want it? Eternal chaos comes with chocolate rain! But you probably already know that.'

The other ponies had frozen as soon as they had arrived. They listened to Pinkie Pie ramble, relieved. Still, Chaos' wings were making them all a bit nervous. They waited to see what Chaos might say.

'Discord's...Chaos...You make it sound like he's my boyfriend Pinkie Pie!'

'Well, is he?'

Chaos' look sent a bolt of fear into every pony's hearts. That is, except Pinkie Pie. 'I don't really know who I am, or what I want at all. I have no time for dating. And I don't know if I can, but since your my second...no wait, third friend...And you're the only friend who really talks to me I'll try.'

'Third....awww. Well you might think Discord is your friend, but he's not. But even if you're counting him, and you have to be I mean come on who have you met, who else could be your friend?'

'The moon Pinkie Pie. The moon was the first thing I saw, even before I knew what it was and right before I got dropped here.'

'Wow, Princess Luna is your friend?'

'Princess...Luna? Who is Princess Luna? Is she the moon?'

BOOM

Thunder came from a small, pink cloud over Pinkie Pie's head. Pinkie Pie was suddenly showered with chocolate milk. 'Yay!' She shouted.

'Uhmm...Chaos...'  Came a small timid voice. Chaos turned to see the ponies. She focused on a yellow one with a pink mane and tail. This pony had feathery wings.She was Fluttershy, but Chaos didn't know that. 'Are you...really chaos?'

Before Chaos could answer, animals crowed around the yellow pony. Fluttershy's animal friends had heard what Twilight Sparkle had said, and the had been deeply worried. After all, they loved Fluttershy. Chaos suddenly got a strange look in her eyes, and before any pony could react, she lunged forward.

'Oh it's just the cutest thing EVER!' She was nuzzling a cat, and the cat was contentedly purring. He even began to groom the strange, new pony.

'Oh this is just too much! I can't wait....'
