Fun in Equestria: Pranks Pranks Everywhere
A seemingly boring day in Ponyville. Luffy was pouting that his breakfast didn't have any meat. "Luffy you can't eat meat." Twilight scolded him as though he were a colt.
"Aww why not?"
"Well for one it's illegal for ponies to eat meat. Secondly even if it weren't we are herbivores, so even if you tried eating meat you would only make yourself sick."
Luffy was horrified at this. "You're saying I can't even eat meat? What kind of cruel place is this?!"
"This 'cruel place' is my home." Twilight was slightly offended.
Luffy quickly returned to his cheerful demeanor and gobbled his breakfast. "Oh well, I can wait until I reunite with my friends. Man I'm getting bored now, see you later."
"Luffy! Hold on!" Twilight tried stopping him, her experiments may have been over, but she still had questions. However Luffy was already out the door.
Luffy was wandering through Ponyville looking for something to do. The experiments were boring, and the breakfast didn't do much to help. He caught a few glances from passing mares and stallions. After all just about everypony remembered the man who ate the table. But Luffy didn't mind, he was used to people thinking he was weird or goofy. Out of the corner lf his eye, he spotted an apple cart. Still hungry from the small breakfast, he thoughtlessly walked up to the cart and tried scooping up an armful only to be stopped by a familiar voice. "Now hold on there Luffy. Ah know how hungry you always are, but you can't go eating my stock without paying."
"Applejack? You sell apples?"
"Well of course! Sweet Apple Acres is me and my families livelihood."
"Can I have an apple? I'm hungry." Although by an apple he clearly meant all of them at once.
"Sorry Luffy. But I can't, you'd eat all my stock, and I doubt you have the bits to pay for it all. Now I might be willing to let you have a basketfull if you helped at Sweet Apple Acres."
This did not appeal to Luffy. "No thanks, that sounds boring." And he walked off.
Luffy continued walking until he came across a lake. "Ah it's so boring right now isn't there anuthing to do?" As if on cue a thought popped inside his head.
"Discord may be reformed but he is still a massive prankster." A grin on Luffy's face appeared, and he reached for the whistle Discord gave him and blew into it. For a few moments nothing happened.
Luffy was dissapointed. "Man this thing is busted." In that moment, as if on que, his reflection in the lake started to deform and contort.
"I can assure you it is far from broken." A voice came from Luffy's own reflection as it walked out of the lake, taking the form of Discord.
Luffy's face brightened up. "Discord!"
"Yes it is Discord. Now did you need me for something? I hope it is important, I was enjoying a lovely game of pin the tail on the pony." As he said this, Discord was trying pin Luffy's own tail on him, while Luffy still wore an amused expression.
"I'm bored. Lets have some fun!"
"Fun?" Discord was mildly interested, today had been even duller for him than normal. "And just what did you have in mind?" He asked while rumaging through Luffy's brain.
"Pranks. I heard you were amazing at them."
"Amazing? I'm only the best at them. Oh but I can't. I might anger Fluttershy if I got out of control."
"Oh come on! You're a Chaos God! You can do anything! Can't you just undo it all if you take it too far?
Discord began rubbing his chin in contemplation. He was seriously considering Luffy's offer. He hadn't been able to cause any chaos on any scale for weeks because his inter-dimensional travel services weren't working. "Hmm I'm still not sure."
"Don't be such a chicken Discord!" Luffy tried egging him on, and it seemed to work.
"A chicken? ME? I am anything but!" As he says this, he takes a look at himself, and discovers he is indeed a chicken. "Oh. Well so I am a chicken. Well fine my adoring fan. If it's pranks you want, then it's pranks you'll get!" With that he wrapped an arm around Luffy, and teleported them to their first victim.
"What the heck is up with my books?" Twilight was frantically opening books and reading through them, searching for any that looked normal. Behind her a massive pile of books. Discord and Luffy had reversed the words, and rearranged the letters inside each book. "Spike have you sent my letter to Princess Celestia yet?"
"Uh not yet Twilight!" Spike had problems of his own. For when he tried to send Twilight's letter, he burned it instead, another prank.
"Spike I need that letter sent asap!" Twilight came running over to Spike. "*GASP!"* Spike! What happened?!" Spike stood with a sheepish grin on his face with the ashes of the letter by his feet. "Ugh! What the heck is happening?!"
"Luffy! Stay down! heel boy!" Discord was holding Luffy back with a dog leash. The reason being that they had pranked Pinky Pie with a chocolate cloud that rains cotten candy, which Luffy wanted to eat.
Pinky rather enjoyed this prank, most of Sugarcube Corner was covered in cotten candy. The Cakes were a different story. "Pinky! There is cotten candy everywhere!"
"I know! isn't it great?! It's like pink fluffy heaven!" Pinky was bouncibg around the room in a combination of happiness and a sugar rush.
"Oh this prank is boring me. Next target Luffy. Luffy? Not again!" Luffy had once again attempted to charge at the cloud out of hunger. With a yank of the leash Discord dragged Luffy towards him, and teleported them out.
"Ahh! Why am I flying in reverse?!" Rainbow Dash was in a panic. The prank pulled on her reversed her flying direction.
"Why am I tangled in my own hair?" Rarity was trying to fend off her hair, which was attacking her.
"Dang it! I bet this is Discords doing! Only HE could cook up something like this!" Rainbow's voice was full of distain.
As the 2 friends struggled, 2 other friends were watching in the distance. "Oh Luffy isn't this fun? I'm so glad you came up with this idea. You have no idea how boring it gets without a bit of fun here and there."
"So who do we get next? Fluttershy?"
Luffy's question created a frown on Discord's face. "Hold your horses kiddo. Don't get me wrong, I like you. But if you prank so much as a hair on Fluttershy, I'll turn your skeleton from an innie to an outie."
"Ok ok fine. We won't prank her. So who is next?"
Applejack was walking along the trail alongside the river, on the way home from selling apples. "Sure wish Luffy took my offer. I could use help on the farm." As she thought to herself she noticed a flailing figure in the water. Applejack tried getting "What in tarnation? Is that Luffy?" Her expression went into panic. "Oh geez! Didn't Luffy mention he couldn't swim because of some weird fruit?! Hold on Luffy! I've got you!" She immediately ran and dived into the water, only to be stopped dead in her tracks mid dive. The water felt weird and thicker. It wasn't until she noticed Luffy had his hoof pointed at her frozen in a laugh, with Discord alongside him, that she realized what had happened: Luffy had intentionally jumped in the water, and had Discord turn the river into raspberry jello the moment Applejack touched the water. To say the least, Applejack was not amused, and gave Luffy a look that said she would kick his flank blue when they got out.
"Haha oh man we got you good Applejack!" Luffy was rolling alongsode the trail laughing.
"And just where do you get off pulling a stunt like that?!" Applejack was furious at being tricked like that.
"Oh come now Applejack, it's been a boring day for everypony. Me and Luffy are just livening the day up a bit. Isn't that right Luff-phht!" Discord's eyes bulged out of their sockets. Luffy in his hunger had eaten the now gelatinous river, and was bloated as wide as Discord was tall. "Wow! You my man are a riot!" He said playfully smacking Luffy on the back.
Applejack was a combination of annoyed, impressed, and weirded out. "I'm never gonna get used to this."
Nopony was safe from the duo's pranking. "Celestia? Sister? I think we have a problem." It was Princess Luna, although you wouldn't recognize her from how she looked. Thanks to some tea laced with poison joke, she and her sister had both their colors and abilities swapped.
Celestia was less than amused at the obviousness lf Luna's comment. "Yes I can tell. Discord must be at it again. I knew we shouldn't have drank that tea he left for us."
"Sister I think Discord may have a partner in crime. I saw him teleport outside the castle shortly after we had the tea, and a pony with a straw hat was with him."
Celestia was in shock. "You don't mean Luffy do you? What are they doing?"
"Nothing terribly harmful. It seems they are going on a pranking spree. We have complaints from many ponies about these 2."
Celestia gave a exasperated sigh. "This needs to stop. We need to contact Twilight and her friends, I think I know how to handle the situation. If everything goes right they will stop soon, and hopefully learn a lesson."
"Alright Discord who do we prank next?" Luffy was eager for some more fun, his simple mind completely blown out of telhe water by Discord's chaos.
"Why no pony. We have already pranked everypony in Ponyville."
"Speaking of Ponyville have you seen anything weird going on? Ever since we got Cheerlie I haven't seen anyone."
Discord was slightly suprised at at Luffy's statement, up until now he hadn't noticed the lack of ponies. "Really? Well now that you mention it, Ponyville does seem to have gone pony less."
Luffy tried looking around, and found nobody, growing annoyed. "This is weird! Where the hell is everybody?!"
"Oh come now Luffy you're overreacting. It isn't as though everypony suddenly dissapeared." His face turned to worry, as he looked around and saw no one as well. "Is it?"
"Well I don't know!" The duo started searching through Ponyville looking for anypony, but the place was like a ghost town. Luffy tried Sugarcube Corner "Pinky Pie! Hey you in here?!" His sense of worry had overriden his sense of hunger, ignoring the cotten candy around the place.
"Fluttershy, old buddy old pal! Are you there?" Discord was at Fluttershy's, but just like the rest of Ponyville it was empty.
"HEY isn't there anyone here?!" Luffy and Discord had searched and searched for hours until the moon was out, and yet found no signs of life. It was like everyone was just not there anymore. Thier search had taken them to the outskirts of town. Luffy sank to the ground on his knees. "What the hell is going on? Everybody is just gone."
Discord sat next to him. "Luffy. You don't think something happened to everyone do you?"
"I don't know." Luffy was growing grim. "All I wanted was to make the day a little less boring, have a little fun. I didn't think we would make everyone dissapear."
"I know how that feels. Even if I'm reformed, that doesn't mean I don't get chaotic urges. But what is the point when all your friends are gone?"
"Not all of them."
Discord was confused by Luffy's words. "What do you mean? Everyone we know is who knows where."
Luffy put on a small smile, and looked up at Discord. "Well. We're friends aren't we?"
Discord was touched by what Luffy said, his irises like dots, he put on the same smile as Luffy. "Oh. Well, I-I guess we are aren't we?" He wrapped an arm around Luffy. "Still I'd like to know what happened to everyone."
A voice from behind them suddenly made itself known. "You won't have to wonder about that for much longer." It was the voice of Celestia. As Luffy and Discord turned around they saw the Princesses, Mane 6, and half of Ponyville appear in a flash.
Discord was caught off guard by this, Luffy on the other hand was amazed at what just happened with stars in his eyes. "Woah how'd you do that?!"
Twilight spoke up. "We all got tired your pranking, so the Princesses called us up and had us place a mass invisibility spell on everypony in town."
"Yer pranks were getting out of hand so we made y'all think we dissapeared." Applejack said.
"To make you more considerate of your friends." Fluttershy added.
"Being a prankster myself I can enjoy a good prank, but you 2 went kinda crazy." Rainbow spoke next.
"We followed you everywhere watching you search for us. It was actually kinda funny." Pinky stated.
"Now can you please reverse the pranks?" Rarity pleaded. "I don't think my mane can take much more!"
"Hmm? Oh yes yes I should probably fix that." With a snap of his fingers the effects of Discord and Luffy's pranking dissapeared.
"Aww! I kinda liked cotten candy rain." Pinky groaned in dissapointment.
"I'm sorry everybody. Me and Luffy were just trying to brighten up our day. When you're a Spirit of Chaos, it is difficult to keep yourself under control. I suppose we did go too far with the pranking."
Celestia walked up to the duo with a stern yet compassionate smile. "It would seem you have learned a valuable lesson in friendship. What about you Luffy? Have you learned something?"
Luffy cocked his head to the side in confusion, unaware of what 'friendship lessons' are. Discord nudged him to get his attention *nudge* "Luffy didn't you learn anything about friendship? Being a better friend?"
"Oh thats what she meant! I guess I should have been more considerate to my friends, it's boring with no one around."
"A good prank can be super-duper fun, but not if it upsets people. Pinky spoke.
"If ya want to prank somepony thats fine. Next time y'all do this, can you please tone it down?" Applejack asked.
"Why yes of course everypony." Discord assured Applejack. "We never meant any real harm." Pinky came up to them with something in her hooves.
"Aw everything is alright now. Have some cake?"
Luffy's mouth became like a waterfall. "Cake?! I want some!" In that instant the cake began bubbling and deforming, before exploding over the duo covering them in cake.
"Surprise! It was a prank cake." Everypony started laughing.
Luffy took the prank in stride. "Haha! Oh man you got us good!"
"Oh yes, well I guess I can't say we didn't have that coming." Discord agreed. Everyoony laughed even harder.
When all is said and done, the joy of a prank is nothing compared to laughing with your friends. Luffy has a lot to learn about the magic of friendship, and he may just end up doing some teaching of his own. But can he take those lessons to heart and protect his friends from the upcoming threats to Equestria? We can only hope.

I'm wondering why this appeared after the 6th for me for some reason.
7942463 Whats so weird about the story being published on the 6th?
7942554 I mean it appeared a few days after the 6 th.
7942927 I still don't get it. You say it came out after the 6th. What is the significance of that date?
I mean obviously you wouldn't point out the chapter date unless it were important.
7943030 when I check the 7th there was no new chapter. When I checked early today I saw it there. That happens sometimes for some reason. They only appear later sometimes.
7943280 Well of course there isn't a new chapter on the 7th. I was trying to come up with this chapters plot, I only just finished today. The 7th was 5 days ago.
7943495 know what. Never mind. Keep up the good work.
I think I would have said it is illegal to kill an animal, I'm just kind of used to the stories where a Pegasus can eat meat if it wants.
That was funny, but I kind of hoped for him not being able to think of something, just to see Celestias disbelieving look.
Well nice chapter.
7945623 Well having Luffy do exactly that WAS a part of the plan, but I didn't want him to look insensitive. I mean the guy thought he lost his friends and somehow doesn't learn anything. Even he isn't that dumb.
7945717 To be honest even if I could believe that he thinks havng no one around could be boring and was fine with that sentence, it didn't sounded or at least that part didn't looked like he would have understood that they were gone because of him.
The only thing that I think could have happened is, that I have failed to see that certain part, but I believe there is only written that he was worried but I'm not sure if he understood that they were gone because of him...
I just saw that Twilight kind of mentioned it to him, I guess that counts.
Meehh I don't like to admit it, but your right. Somehow I can't see Celestia giving those big speaches or being allmighty and knowing everything if you know what I mean, in some stories it looks right and in others it is a bit weird.
I shouldn't take it so serious, but one could see it like Celestia forced Twilight to be a princess or tricked her into it, if the show would be a bit more for the mature audience and they would actually react on Twilight not being so comfortable with it at first.
I always remember stuff like that and I guess thinking like that makes me a bit moody if I see stuff that remembers me of it.
That is the only reasons why I wanted him to be exactly that stupid and kind of ignore her.
Yes I believe I hate and love Celestia, what is the name in english for (hatelove?)
7945757
Well they kinda didn't know. The thought that their pranking made everyone dissapear did cross their minds at least once. But as far as they knew everyone was gone, like in gone, simply no longer there.
I mean I can deal with Celestia. Yeah I guess she can be manipulative, but in the end it is for the good of Twilight. I tend to be more forgiving of character faults than most people.
7945757 Well I'm not sure how I could make the personality change like that. I mean Luffy has had tons of adventures on other islands snd made deep friends, but in the end he had to part for the story to continue. In this case Luffy has a mcguffin to return any time he wishes.
Well I mean I might make some onesided attraction. I could see Rarity falling for him to an extent. Like I said we'll see as the story continues on.
Yeah thats a bad habit of mine. When someone gives me criticism or notes something I didn't notice, I tend to take it seriously. That isn't to say I am insulted or anything, but I will ponder what you say, and think it over a lot.
^^What do you mean by "Why can't Luffy slightly change, yet include comic characters?" I'm not sure what you mean by this.
Oh well of course Luffy is going to shrink. For the fights that Luffy wins he will probably be in critical condition.
7945783
I guess one could see it that way yes. I feel like this would be one of those things that aren't only black or white, I mean for once if the world works like that then the other ponys would probably get on Twiights nerves for helping them and stuff lke then, after all she is an Alicorn right now.
I just like to think that they could at least let Twilight decide how fast and on which way she want's to help with being a princess.
I'm somehow just never able to forget that Celestia didn't asked Twilight for one thing. I guess Twilight really likes it, but mostly because she likes to please her teacher, which feels like Celestia didn't managed to prevent Twilight from having this slightly unhealthy relationship to her. Since some stories I never could really enjoy the things that start to look like someone has full control of others life or actions, I guess sometimes I even overreact a bit.
I only remember all the stories that actually felt like she would really do it, where Celestia forced her to have guards to take a load of work from her and stuff like that. In some stories I always get a bit dissapointed that Celestia get's more free workers, but not a single bit of freetime, wich she probably could have and in different stories I only
7946678
yes I wasn't really sure how to explain it, I never try to be mean but I just talk a lot trying to explain things for good, since I don't always know the right words to explain it in a few seconds.
I was probably just wondered, that Luffy wasn't supposed to well act this or that way in one of your comments, but other comic heroes that doesn't even exist there are supposed to appear in Equestria. Maybe I missunderstood it, are there super heroes or did you meant to include other enemies?
If I write that much it is a sign that I really like your story, since I could just leave which means "good work so far".
7947131 Tbh I don't think Celestia chose how Twilight helps as a princess. Yes she made her into one,
but her role she didn't determine.
Well like I said it is for the good of Twilight, not just as a princess, but as a person/pony in general. I mean in early seasons Twilight had an unhealthy obsession with Celestia, but now she is so much better, Starting from the 3rd season she shows more confidence in Celestia.
No not actual superheroes, I mean people from the Idw comics. Like Nightmare Forces, Umbrum, Accord. Seriously those were interesting plots. Granted the writers didn't do a good execution of those plots, but certainly interesting to try. I didn't literally mean super heros.
7947783 sounds like it was good that I don't know those yet, a bad writing can ruin much very easily. However if it is like that then I'm interessted to see you writing about those in this story.
Well about Celestia I guess it can be seen this and that way, I probably said already that it is nothing you can only see as good or as bad..., well maybe if you chose to see it that way.
I can't deny your points with Twilight completely, but again I feel like she would have done more planning than that. Of course that was a nice side effect, but I feel like it wasn't only because of Twilights wellbeing that she was made into a princess. Like I said it is probably kind of black and white (good/bad).
I understand your points and accept them, but I will keep thinking that they could have spoken about it.
7948239 Yeah the plots for those were poorly made thanks to executive meddling. But like I said they are certainly interesting. O mean it gives us some backstory, and room for development. But this is just my 2 cents.
Well there were a bunch of complaints about Twilight becoming a princess being forced. Me? I'm the type of fan who just rolls with it. I usually don't let the tiny plot screw ups bother me too much.
Now this was a funny chaptuer.
