	I looked up at dad again. This time, he was happily munching away on even more pop-tatoes. It's only been about two minutes in this place, and I already want to explore exactly what we had changed.

Apparently, he read my mind on that one too, because immediately, he replied, "Why didn't you ask earlier? 'Spuddy'"?

I eyed him furiously on that one. "Ok, first of all, 'Spuddy'? SPUDDY?! That's got to be one of the most horrible puns I've ever heard. Second of all, I didn't ask because I was taking in the surroundings."

Dad looked at me silently, and without even looking at him, I could tell that that same old grin was growing again. "Well then," he began, "how about a visit to the rulers?"

"Really?" I replied in awe, "I've never had a chance to visit the rulers of Equestria, or in this case..." I looked around for the sign again. "...Equestuber..."

We walked through the rather heavily decorated doors to the throne room. Right there, sitting on the starchy pillows of the throne, were the two rulers, of whom I found were named "Spudlestia" and "Sour Cream" respectively. According to Discord, Spudlestia and her sister, Sour Cream, were single-hoofedly responsible for uniting the three pony tribes under the promise of easy food for generations, for during the great famine that occurred decades before, while the two were still young, they discovered that potatoes fill ponies up much faster, and are easier to grow. Hence the name, Spudlestia.

Upon seeing our arrival, Sour Cream stood to address us. "AND WHO ARE YOU TO MEET WITH US, THE SUPREME RULERS OF THIS GREAT LAND?"

I shrunk down as dad answered for me. "It is simply I, Discord, and my lovely daughter. We simply admire the mare who we have come to associate with her horrible moods and delicious spreads, as well as her sister, the great goddess of the potato." He took a deep breath before continuing. "We simply requested this short amount of time that I am currently spending to speak to you about your glorious kingdom of the spuds."

Spudlestia nodded. "Very well then, Discord. You may leave now."

Silently, we slipped out of the doorway.

"Well," I said to dad, "That was all then?"

Discord nodded. "Yes, my Screwball, that was all."

And so from then on, we ended up opening a cosmic rift that joined our home realm with the potatoverse, and lived happily ever after in the universe of pure chaos--and potatoes.
