While the mane six were off saving Equestria from Discord's reign of chaos, how did the other ponies fair? What were the other various trials of chaos that our everyday ponies went through?

Now THIS I gotta see.
Oh my God this is awesome. More Discord? Yes plz.
For me, reading this was an experience akin to taking a boatload of illegal drugs and cyanide. When those cupcakes started a-marching. I knew there was no going back. I love how you made Lyra a lazy moocher and Bon-Bon the 'responsible' one. Those personalities are now canon.
Take my severed thumbs and favs, won't you? I'll be watching dis.
This promises to be a hoot.
this is awesome need moar MOAR
This is the best thing I've ever read!
650361 Have you read the one before this? It's called 'The Dark Brotherhoof'. GO READ IT IT WAS SO AMAZING.
Anyway, this pleases me.

Sincerely,
Purple Thunder,
Your number #1 fan of 'The Dark Brotherhoof.'

Haha! My chief of marketing in the zone!
650047
Strange, that was the exact combination of drugs I had in mind, haha. I love personification, so actually bringing things alive is one-up.
Thanks to everybody for this amazing reception!
I shall indeed be reading this later, but I must ask it because I've been on full Doctor Who mood lately: Do we get to see everypony's favorite Time Lord in this? If not, it should still be a great fic indeed, but I just wanted ask.
650549 Glad to be of service.

Only one problem which would hold me back from doing that: I has never seen Doctor Who. I KNOW, I'm a terrible person. I tend to miss out on a lot of awesome shows. I'm don't think I'd be able to do the Doctor justice, sorry! Then again, if I somehow managed to become a massive fan and watch all of them through this story's lifespan, I'd be there.
Thanks for the suggestion though! I thrive on these comments as I'm sure to miss someone I'll really want to do.
650684 Ah, well at least you're not going to attempt to write a character you don't know anything about. If you ever do watch it, great, but its cool. I'll probably start this tonight after catching up on some other stuff and I'll try and think of any other suggestions if I can think of anypony.
Brace yourselves! Things are about to get a little Surreal!
Must see more. This is an excellent idea and quite original. I can't wait for the next chapter.
more please!
and I leave you with ponies looking at what I write.
FFFFLOLOL, i cant stop laughing! What mroe madness would ensue the two?! *waits happily*
MOAR MOAR MOAR MOAR!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quite late, I realise, but I have prepared a number of excuses! 1) I got sucked into Minecraft. 2) The Jubilee was distracting me. 3) The good old "I'm lazy". But the main one: Max Payne story needs me more. It's probably the most interesting style of writing I've ever done, (which isn't saying much) and it got a brilliant reception, as well as being incredibly fun.
Anyway, remember to leave your suggestions for characters and support for the story! Next up: either the pets or the Canterlot elite!
woot
So basically, by creating food that eats ponies, Discord has created Soviet Russia?
Also, I'm surprised Gummy didn't eat the marshmallows. (Alligators LOVE marshmallows.)
Anyway, I just wanted to say that this is a brilliant idea, and that you have my full support. And as for asking about ideas, may I suggest Trixie? Or perhaps The Flim-Flam Brothers?

AH-HA! That was it! I was going to have a villain chapter which I completely forgot about! I'm going to try and squeeze in the main antagonists into one chapter. Thank you!
This is hilariously amazing! MARSHMELLOWS
Hello! I'm sorry for not reading it earlier, I'm on holiday and I can't go on the internet much
But I've finally read it and it is AWESOME.
708996
That's fine! I take days to get around to reading an update, holiday or not.
Also: huzzah! Thank you!
Finally got a chance to update myself, and it is AWESOME! The character dynamics are just perfect, especially Vinyl
but tank didnt have flying gear before rainbow got i for him to keep up
758477
True that. But I wanted all of the pets in, no exclusions, so try and bare with that little time error thing.
758477 Discord thought a turtle-copter would be funny.
NO ONE CAN UNTANGLE A SLINKY!
omigoshomigoshomigosh...
I LOVED this chapter! I've always wanted to see all of the pets in a silent routine. No talking, no nothing, just good physical humor and character interactions. You managed to manifest colorful personalities for them without a single word of dialogue, and that's awesome. I r jealous of your talents in prose.
So, yeah, this is definitely my favorite chapter so far.
762795
I am undeserving of such jealousy! *Bows to your magnificence* I've developed a love for the pets through your stories, (and mine because I am apparently egotistical) and I'm glad I could spreading their antics more! Thanks!
762386
I'll never try and use it as a necklace again! 
Inspired by a true story. My slinky is just on the floor, tangled and sad.
Doctor Whooves: I am the Doctor.
Owlowiscious: Who?
Doctor Whooves: Yes, I am Doctor Who.
I DUNNO LOL.
Anyway, hilarious chapter! Looking forward to more!
I can untangle slinkies.
765524
PLEASE UNTANGLE MY SLINKY!
Haha, that would have been a great back-and-forth to have!
...but... it's not possible! You can't be mortal!
766349 It takes a while, but I can, sometimes. I haven't done it in years so I dunno if I can do it anymore.
About halfway through, I was expecting Gilda to shrink to the size of a parakeet.
Good Job, looking forward to see what happens to Trixie!
Silly 'Tavi, clouds won't hurt Vinyl.
Awesome chapter. Keep it up.
Oh dear. Giant hamsters? What could Discord possibly do with giant hamsters?.....
Well, they'll probably turn into something else within the next five minutes anyway...So is Discord done collecting, or are we going to see anymore ponies?
804434 As if that'll stop her from trying.
OH MAH GAWD LAVA LAMPS HOORAY YAY!
LAAAAAAVAAAAAA LAAAAAMPPPPPSSSSS!
Anyway, HILARIOUS chapter as always.
You never fail to please me.
804987
Thanks for your continued comments! 
Definitely going to see more ponies! This is just Discord's first little group for his first challenge. I may be biased towards Fancypants winning/losing depending on which gets him to stay longer.
Discord has six Ultra Peepis! He's in cahoots with the Irken empire!
Now I'm gonna sing the doom song.
I can't help but notice that Dick-sword has gathered up six ponies, the same number as the elements of harmony. While the ponies wouldn't appear to represent the Elements of Disharmony, Blueblood excluded, and while I don't know how this story fits into show canon, I can't help but get a feeling about all this.
809271 LOL
ummmm....
I see three errors:
Tank has already been mentioned.
Cats can't taste sweet.
Winona isn't a BC, (her muzzle is wrong and her legs are too short), she looks more like a Sheltie.
847736
For Tank, address the earlier comments. For the breed, I just went off the MLP wiki.
Had no idea about the cats thing though. What a shame, poor Opal.
How did I miss this?!
Oh my God, you always write such a good Fancy Pants. Seriously, your portrayal of both him and the other pish posh ponies is always fabulous. Jet Set and Upper Crust? I never thought that I'd see anyone write about those two.
957417
That might be the greatest compliment I've ever received. If I can write Fancypants well... *convulses on the floor*
*Pretends a month didn't pass since last update*
And I wonder if anyone will pick up the Chives reference? Anyway, thanks for sticking with this and doing whatever it is you awesome people do. We go back to some old fashioned chaos in the next few chapters. Suggest pones!
Sorry! I know, I suck. I didn't feel like writing. I felt like playing games. I played some games. I got this done eventually.
This chapter makes me miss my hamster.
"Always when I'm relaxing," He sighed to himself, muffled by the object. He trotted up to a random still-standing wall of his house and pressed against it. As he did, certain tiles highlighted, and the wall slid open to reveal a blue 'police box'. He stepped into the nestled object, and a series of flashes later, disappeared along with it.
I love that. The Doctor's just like "Well look at that. F*** this, I'm outta here."
I'm loving this.
