"Twilight, Twilight!" Discord called, pounding on the doors to the Golden Oaks Library. "You're never going to believe what I just did! It's brilliantly chaotic, you'll love it!"

Twilight opened the door slowly. Her mane was a bedraggled rats' nest, sticking out every which way. Bags upon bags of dark circles under her eyes twitched as she blinked slowly in the morning light. She smacked her lips and focused her bloodshot, glazed eyes on Discord. She was also wrapped up in a fluffy pink bathrobe, which was the nicest looking thing about her.

"What" she asked.

Discord recoiled in horror at her appearance, "Celestia's sake, Twilight! What in Equestria happened to you?"

"I woke up" Twilight answered, blinking slowly. "What didshuh have ta' show me or whatever" she slurred.

Discord slowly lifted a claw and snapped his fingers, and Twilight's appearance suddenly became refreshed. Her mane was instantly cleaned and brushed, her eyes were relieved of their dark circlets, and her morning breath dissipated.

She smacked her lips and blinked one last time, "Thanks" she said simply, shaking herself mentally awake. "Now what do you want?"

Discord gestured grandly as he remembered his point, "Yes! Oh Twilight, you're going to love it! I was bored, so I made a new planet!"

"A new planet" Twilight repeated, already mentally done with talking to Discord.

"Yes! It's just like Equestria! Except nothing like Equestria," Discord explained gleefully. "See, everything there is backwards than it is here. Ponies sleep during the day, pegasi don't fly, and Rarity's company is appreciable. I call it, 'Antiequus'." Discord wiped at his eye, reminiscing on his creation. "It's simply glorious."

"That's great, Discord." Twilight said as if it weren't very great at all. "I'm going back to bed," and she shut the door.

Discord stuck his lion's paw in the door, "Oh, but no!" he objected, "I want you to see it firsthand! You and all your little friends! You'll love it!"

Twilight leaned her body against the door, trying to force it shut, "I don't think so, Discord," she rejected.

Discord chuckled mischievously, "Too late!" he declared, and snapped his claw.

Within an instant, Twilight was blinking in the light of an alien sun.

The sky was burnt orange, the grass and trees were scarlet, and the sun was a deep, jet black. It seemed to be sucking light in rather than emitting it. The buildings all appeared to be hewn from stone, rather than crafted from wood. Twilight spun this way and that, taking in her new surroundings.

"Wowie zowie! What's this place?" inquired a cheery voice.

Twilight swiveled on her hoof to find her five friends standing around behind her, taking in the view of Antiequus. Rarity seemed to be blushing furiously. "I-I was just taking a shower!" she sputtered, trying to cover up her body. "I feel so lewd!"

"Land sakes," Applejack said, looking at the trees with scarlet leaves. "Ain't never seen a tree that color before! 'ts a beaut."

"Forget the trees, what happened to the sky?" Rainbow Dash shouted, pointing up at the orange hued atmosphere.

"Um, Twilight," Fluttershy asked quietly, "Where are we? I was just in the middle of feeding Angel, I hope he won't be too mad that I dematerialized."

"I can answer that, dear Fluttershy," Discord said, appearing behind Twilight with a piping hot cuppa tea. "This is a planet of my own design! It's just like Equestria, except nothing like Equestria," he giggled, "I do so love saying that. You all are familiar with your dear planet Equus; think of this as Antiequus." he gestured broadly to his creation, "Welcome to Antiequestria."

"It's very nice, Discord," Twilight said in a voice that would suggest it wasn't very nice at all. "Now please bring us home."

"Oh, but I can't!" Discord said with false drama, "See, in my glorious creation, I overlooked a small factoid. Since this is Antiequestria, all youse ponies' Anti counterparts don't have the magic of friendship! They have," Discord continued in a hushed whisper, "Antifriendship."

Fluttershy gasped.

Twilight rolled her eyes, "And what do you expect us to do about it?"

"Fix it!" Discord instructed proudly, "I task you all to find your Anti partner and teach them the magic of friendship, and then they will spread it to all of Antiequestria!"

"Yeah, I don't want to do that." Rainbow Dash stated.

"I'm not bringing you home until you do," Discord said with a grin. He waved a claw at the six ponies, "Good luck! Toodle-oo!"

And with that, pow! He's gone.
