Twilight and Discord appeared in a random field of fire in a flash of light, only to disappear in another flash of light seconds later.
"Discord," Twilight began with a sigh as the duo appeared in a world that seemed to be made entirely out of clouds, only to be whisked away as the irritated spirit of disharmony snapped them away to another world, "admit it," they appeared over a pool of liquid nitrogen, "we're lost." The duo reappeared in front of a small purple house with a gigantic satellite dish on it's roof. Strange mechanical gnomes sat in the garden, their dull red eye's coming to life at the pairs sudden arrival.
"Oh Twilight," Discord began, waging his finger in front of Twilights face, "Twilight, Twilight, Twilight. We're not lost," Twilight raised an eyebrow in disbelief, "we are hopelessly, horrendously lost!" Discord cried out, wrapping his mismatched arms around Twilight while crying orange tears that smelled suspiciously like hamburgers.
Twilight let out a sigh and patted the crying spirit on the back. "There, there, I'm sure well find our way eventually. Though, perhaps we should find someone to ask directions."
Instantly Discord stopped crying and stood back, an insulted look on his face. "My dear Twilight, how dare you say that!"
"Say what?" Twilight asked, confused.
The door to the house they had been standing in front of slowly opened, allowing a green dog to peek it's head out to gaze at the alicorn and spirit.
"You dare insinuate that I, Discord, Spirit of Disharmony, Master of Disaster, Lord of Chaos, Duke of Equestria, Knight of Saddle Arabia, ruler of the dimension omicri perci eight and five times winner of Equestria's first annual bowling tournament need to ask for directions!" Discord crossed his arms and huffed, "The very thought!"
The green dog slowly walked out the door, it's zipper shining on it's chest, and began walking up to the two, still unnoticed.
"You just told me we were lost! And what do you do when you're lost? Ask for directions! It's not a hard a concept to grasp!" Twilight shouted at her companion, stomping a hoof on the concrete.
The green dog sat down near the two, still unnoticed, and pulled a muffin out of . . . somewhere and began to happily munch on it.
"And who am I suppose to ask, Twilight? We're popping through universes, not going to the nerd store! It's not like I can just go up to some smuck on the street and say 'hey, do you known where Equestria High universe is?'"
Twilight was about to say something, most likely some remark about how Discord should have brought a map, or maybe something about the nerd store, when the little green not-a-dog spoke up in an adorably irritating voice. "Oo, oo, I know where that is!"
Discord and Twilight stared at shock at the green dog with the zipper on it's chest. The green dog just smiled and tossed the rest of it's muffin into the air before catching it in it's mouth, eating the entire thing in one bite. Discord and Twilight looked at each other uncertainly.
"You do?" Twilight asked, looking the dog over. Green fur over the majority of it's body save it's black arms, legs and ears. The oddest thing about it was the zipper on it's chest, but from popping up in all the random worlds lately, she dismissed it as just something creatures in this world had. The world where everything had a windup key in their back was creepier than having a zipper on your chest in her opinion. Besides, the thing was kind of cute.
"Uh-hu!" The creature answered, drawing it out, with a smile.
Twilight smiled at the green dog before turning to Discord with a smirk. "See? All we had to do was ask. So, uh . . ." Twilight stuttered, realizing she had no idea who the dog was, "What's your name?"
"I'm GIR!" The dog said cheerfully, before pulling a large pig out of . . . somewhere, "And this is my pig! I loves him." GIR cooed as he rubbed his face against the swine.
"Right." Twilight said, ignoring GIR and his pig. Discord looked extremely amused. "GIR here knows how to get there. So GIR, how do we get there?"
"I'll tell you," GIR began in a sing song voice, "but only if you dance with me." GIR smiled, his tongue sticking out. The little dog began to dance a silly dance on top of his pig, who just seemed bored. Or sleepy, maybe both.
Discord shrugged and began to shuffle, much like he did in that window pane almost a year ago. Twilight just looked at the dog in disbelief.
"Come on Miss Purple Pants, dance with me. Dance!" The madly dancing dog screamed excitedly. Twilight sighed and began to shuffle about, doing what could be loosely defined as dancing. The three danced on the sidewalk for a couple minutes, only tow of them enjoying it, gaining some attention from the passing humans. However, considering the house they were in front of always had something going on, they were mostly ignored.
"All right, we danced with you," Twilight said a few minutes later, "can you please tell us how to get to Canterlot High now?"
GIR smiled a wide smile, "I don't know."
Twilight nearly exploded, "What?" She tore at her mane, "I danced in the street like an idiot and you don't even know how to get there?"
"I know how to get there!"
Twilight glared at him. "You just said that you don't know!"
GIR tilted his head, "Oh yeah. Well I do now. The computer told me."
"And where exactly did this 'computer' tell you it was?" Discord asked in his best Marlon Brando impersonation, petting a cat while leaning in a chair. GIR, now wearing clothes like Michael Corleone, was quick and happy to respond.
"He said it was in universal coordinates . . . oh look, the ice cream man!" GIR ran past Discord towards the ice cream man who managed to spot GIR and began running like the hounds of hell were after him. And for good reason, because as soon as GIR got close enough, he launched himself at the poor man, crashing into him and his cart, sending ice cream everywhere.
Twilight watched as GIR began to devour the entire contents of the ice cream cart. "He's crazy." Twilight muttered in a mix of disgust and awe as she watched the dog shove a kiddie pools worth into his mouth.
"I like him." Discord said between licks of his own ice cream cone. He casually offered a cone to Twilight, who refused due to a sudden lack of interest in the frozen treat.
"You would." Twilight replied. "So are you ready to try again?"
Discord sneakily glanced over at Twilight, "I thought you wanted to ask GIR for directions?"
Twilight winced, "After seeing what he did to that poor ice cream man, I'm not so sure I want to. Besides, I doubt he really knows."
Discord nodded, "So we danced in the street for no reason?"
Twilight let out an irritated sigh, "It looks like it."
"Great!" Discord smiled, "Well, let's hope that this next leap, is the leap there! Arrivederci!" Just as Discord was about to snap his fingers, a green missile launched itself at the duo.
"I got choco tacos for you!" GIR shouted in excitement, making contact just as Discord snapped, sending them to the next world.
