> Chaos and Stupidity > by Pot8osoup > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Becoming Stupid > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "It's complete!" Pinkie Pie yelled excitedly. "The one and only... STUPID CUPCAKE!" "Who'll be the first to get it? Twilight?" Rainbow Dash sniggered. "I'd like to see what she would be like. A dumb Twilight." "No." Pinkie shook her head. "Not today. I think we need to prank..." "You seriously want me to play some kind of guessing game? Can't you just tell me?" "Guess!" "Fine. You?" "Nope!" "Me?" "Nope!" "Applejack?" "Nope!" "Oh, I give up! Who is it?" "I'll give you a clue." "Pinkie, if you make me play the guessing game..." Rainbow Dash said menancingly. "Fine! I think we should give it to the other prankster, to show him we're the best prankers ever!" "And who would this other... pranker be?" "DISCORD!" Pinkie yelled excitedly, nearly knocking the precious stupid cake off the tray. Rainbow wasn't too excited. "Discord? Pinkie I really don't think it's a good idea to make The Lord of Chaos stupid, not when he is so powerful." Rainbow said hesitantly. But upon seeing Pinkie's crestfallen look, she said, "But who cares, I'll do it!" "Yay!" Pinkie yelled. ____________________________________________________________________________________ "Pinkie, are you sure we should be doing this?" Rainbow whispered. "Of course! I'll ask him if you don't want to." Pinkie said in an overly-loud whisper. "Well, it might be a bit suspicious if we both ask. So can you go?" "Okay-dokie-lokie!" Pinkie said, far too loudly. "Discord?" She said. "I was making cupcakes with Rainbow Dash and we made this super-awesome-amazing cupcake, that we want you to try!" Discord looked surprised. "You want to give it to me?" He asked, almost shocked that Pinkie Pie was simply offering him a cupcake. Suddenly he got suspicious. "What have you done to it?" He queried, looking Pinkie right in the eyes. "Nothing, silly!" Pinkie bubbled. "We want you to have it as a sign of our friendship!" Discord mentally shrugged. "Okay." He took a bite, and instantly spat it in in disgust. "Oh god!" He cried. "What the fuck did you put in it?" Suddenly he noticed the "hurt" in her eyes. Well, Pinkie was slightly hurt, seeing as she had gone to and effort to cover up any bad tastes, but she was exaggerating to guilt Discord into eating it. "To make it so brilliant?" He added weakly, attempting to cover up his revulsion. "It's the nicest thing I've ever had!" Pinkie raised an eyebrow, but then an overwhelming fit of giggles came over her. "Yay! You loved it!" Discord smiled weakly, making a mental note to never eat one of Pinkies cupcakes again. Suddenly he was overcome with an urge to stick his tongue out, make a weird face, and start chasing people pretending he thought he was a sandwich. And he did just that. "Eat me!" He laughed idiotically, and ran out into the streets. "Eat me! I'm a sandwich!" He yelled with a terribly done Australian accent. He ran around a corner and bumped straight into Applejack. "Way-hay! I am. A pineapple!" Pinkie Pie came running after him. "Hey, Applejack!" She called. Applejack threw a startled glance at Pinkie, then looked at Discord,(who was now singing "Stick a banana in your eeeeeeaaaaaar! Do do dodo do do do") Then looked back at Pinkie suspiciously. "What did'ya do to him?" Applejack questioned. "Surely he didn't do this to himself?" "No, silly! We gave him a stupid cupcake!" Pinkie Pie said, as if it explained everything. "A stupid cupcake?" Applejack asked incredulously. "What in tarnatian is a stupid cupcake?" Pinkie Pie giggled. "Me and Rainbow Dash made it. Discord will be a moron for the day!" Applejack was very confused, but decided not to question Pinkie. She glanced over at Discord, (who was rubbing his arse with soap,) then decided to walk away. Soon after Rainbow Dash came. She gasped "I didn't think he would become that stupid! Oh well, at least he isn't using his powers. And I guess it is a bit funny to watch. What in Equestria is he doing now?! And why is Derpy there?" Discord seemingly had invented a game for him and Derpy to play. The objective of the game was steal as many ponies shoes as possible. Then play catch with it and eventually throw the shoe at their head. 50 points if you hit their head. Derpy was looking at Discord as if he were a madman at first, but eventually had decided to go along with him. _____________________________________________________________________________ It was now 6 o'clock and the effect wasn't wearing off. "It will wear off at eight." Pinkie Pie answered Fluttershy's question. "If only it would last longer! With Discord, stupidity means extra chocolate rain and whipped cream!" Discord was running around, chasing his tale. He fell over with a thud and started laughing hysterically. Fluttershy looked at him worriedly. "Are you sure it will wear off?" Her expression was doubtful. "Sure it will!" Pinkie bubbled. "If it doesn't we'll just make a smart carrot!" "Why not a cake?" Rainbow Dash queried. "Cause a stupid cake makes him stupid, silly!" Pinkie said, misunderstanding Rainbow Dash. Fluttershy and Rainbow knew not to question Pinkie Pie. _______________________________________________________________________ "Why has it not worn off?" Rainbow Dash demanded. "He should not be stupid!" "We just have to make a smart carrot!" Pinkie exclaimed. "And how do you propose we do that?" "Uhh... We could get a carrot and channel smartness into it! Through the elements!" Pinkie suggested, not sure what to do. "Or... We could channel Twilight's brainpower into the carrot? We could try something like that." Pinkie Pie instantly jumped on Rainbows idea. "Let's call everyone over to Fluttershy's house!" Soon everypony was there. Discord was outside somewhere. Twilight had brought the elements and Fluttershy brought a carrot. "Alright, everyone!" Pinkie said. "Me and Rainbow made a stupid cupcake and gave it to Discord and it didn't wear off so now he's dumb for life!" The others stared at her in shock. "What?" Rarity asked, dumbfounded. Rainbow Dash laughed nervously. "Um, let me explain a little bit better. Me and Pinkie Pie were making a cupcake that would make the consumer an idiot for a day. We gave it to Discord, but it didn't wear off. We had an idea that maybe could turn him back." "What is it? Twilight questioned. "And what has it got to do with the elements?" "Well, we want to channel some of your brainpower, Twilight, into this carrot. Then make him eat the carrot." Rainbow explained. "Okay girls, I think we could try. Take your element then get into formation!" They did so. "Three... Two... One..." Twilight called. She then blasted a spell to put some of her brainpower into the carrot. The carrot looked exactly the same, but that didn't matter. "Okay, Rainbow, where's Discord?" Twilight said. Rainbow blushed. "Umm, outside somewhere." Twilight facehoofed. "Why did you not keep him here? I'll have to do a tracking spell. Oh well" Twilight sighed. She found that Discord was above SugarCube corner. And moving fast. "Alright, girls! We've got an idiot to catch!" They all raced down. Applejack brought a lassoo. "Just in case he tries to run away." She had said. Eventually they found Discord sliding backwards up a rainbow with soap on his arse, laughing like a madpony. "Hey!" Applejack yelled. "Come down here and eat this delicious carrot!" Of course, Discord fell for it immediately and ate the carrot. Suddenly he became smart. "Why is there soap on my backside?" Was the first thing he asked. They all laughed and brought him inside. _______________________________________________________________ Discord was still recovering from his idiot trauma when Pinkie Pie entered the room. "Discord?" She said tentatively. "Yes, dear Pinkie Pie?" "I-I just made you a cupcake to say sorry." "Why, thank you!" He smiled, and ate the cupcake. Only after he had finished did he realise what is had been.
