Lancelot returned from his training... just to be young Sonic's +1 at a gathering called "the Grand Galloping Gala". I was up for it at first, but then I remembered my formal armor wasn't allowed. I tried fixing my prince's bow tie, but he wouldn't stay still, his impatient vibrating undoing the huge bow tie on his suit.

A pony that resembled the Quaker Oats duck introduced, "Spirit of Chaos, Discord and the Snooze!" Discord walked in with an orange suit, holding coma Antoine over his shoulder.

Silver popped out of nowhere, groaning as he cleaned green goo off his suit. "Lance, I just created a paradox..."

His +1 Jet walked up with a tray of food, "Silver, why is the Smooze and Chaos here?"

"That's the paradox."

Everybody with diamonds ran as Chaos in a green hat and tie tried to assimilate the "emeralds" as a green blob with a blue hat and bow tie slid after him, worry on its mouth. Jet shook his head, "This doesn't look good..."

"I swear, I didn't invite him!" Discord replied to an angry Twilight, under a spell to not see the body he held. Seriously, nobody sees the limp coyote around his neck? Meh. I suddenly don't care.

Twilight fumed, "If you didn't then who did?!" The Knuckles quietly shuffled away from each other, realizing their mistake.

"I don't know, I didn't expect him to be here! Besides, who's the blue guy he's with?" As Twilight pondered, Discord walked towards the dining area, whispering, "Oh, Antoine! Only you understand me..."





After an hour, a green water filled the room. Every Sonic was drowning at once, when somehow the water wasn't that high. Luckily what King Shadow called "a damn hippie pony" calmed the ooze into one spot with her whinnies... and turning it into an odd slime-water golem that grinned at the sound.

Somehow, Discord got angry... then quickly sad as he hugged Antoine, mumbling things like, "You're my only friend..." and other things like that. Nobody noticed, all they saw was the slime golem react to Discord's sadness by opening a portal to SEGA knows where!

"Not cool, bro!" one of the big Sonics said as they circled the golem, splitting the Smooze and his limited magic from Chaos and his limited power. The portal closed, but not without Sonic watching Time Sombra finish absorbing Solaris while happily waving at him.

When they were split, Smooze glared angrily at Chaos, but then smiled as they silently forgave each other and reassured Discord that... Whatever his deal was wasn't going to be a bad thing. They party continued as if nothing bad happened and I got to have mead with Fluttershy.
