Chapter I: Day of Discord

"GOOOD MORNING, Celestia!" Discord announced as he popped his head out of a teapot. Celestia, startled, cried out and jumped back in her chair at the breakfast table, while Luna, tired from a night of chasing bad dreams, merely looked up in mild surprise at the teapot and them went back to the pancakes that Celestia made for her.

"Discord, what are you doing here?" Celestia asked him.

"Oh I just wanted to visit and tell you about something that I've been thinking about." He replied. He slithered out of the teapot and shook himself off.

"Alright, and what's been on your mind?"

"It has occurred to me that you get a holiday in the Summer Sun Celebration, Princess Luna, here, gets Nightmare Night, and Princess Cadence's Kingdom celebrates love every time a special occasion comes to the Crystal Empire. However, Princess Twilight Sparkle, a dear friend of my friend, Fluttershy, has no holiday. Now surely there must be a way to celebrate friendship and harmony. Then I really started to think, since I've been reformed, there has been quite the lack in some perfectly good chaos around here. So I have a proposal for you, that for one day out of the year, I get free reign of this equestrian world, to spread some chaos, and the day after that we celebrate friendship and harmony in the name of the Princess of Friendship!"

Celestia and Luna exchanged looks for a moment before Celestia asked him: "What type of chaos would you spread? We cannot allow you to spread misery to the ponies."

"Oh, just some chocolate milk rain, trees that grow piñatas rather than apples, sofas behaving like puppies, you know just some of the fun stuff. By the next day, I'll have cleaned up my mess and in honor of harmony and friendship, villages could come together and share a feast, take the day off from their labors, and play their games."

"Uh, Luna, what do you think of this? Princess Twilight Sparkle deserves a way to celebrate what she stands for, and I suppose that harmony wouldn't exist without the presence of discord." Celestia spoke.

"So long as Discord doesn't go too far with the chaos, I don't see why not. I've seen in dreams the fun that Discord's chaotic magic can bring, and Equestria can last one day to let him run wild, again, so long that he doesn't go too far."

Celestia took a deep breath and told Discord: "We shall discuss matters with Twilight, but I believe that we may just have a new holiday to celebrate."

"YES! Oh, thank you, Princess Celestia! Should this become a real holiday, I shall be a very happy spirit!"

"Of course, just keep to word when you said that you'll clean up after yourself, and to not go too far." Celestia replied.

ΩΩΩ

It turned out that Twilight, with some assurance from Fluttershy and a light persuasion from Rarity, was quite supportive of the idea for The Day of Discord and followed up by the Harmony Celebration. So the newspapers printed out Celestia's announcement for the new holidays, set to be celebrated in a week. Discord could hardly wait!

To help make the time go by a little faster, Discord invited Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie over for a tea party in his home. The little ponies were fascinated with the floating table, stairs that led to nowhere, and his party supplies! There they discussed possible acts of chaos that Discord could play, and for the most part the ponies seemed to be just fine with the ideas he tossed around, especially since they've already seen them before or similar acts

ΩΩΩ

The day of Discord had arrived. Before the sun even rose, Discord was already playing his tricks. He turned houses into gingerbread, apple trees bore piñatas, grass turned from green to purple with a checkerboard pattern, he gave teas the power to turn ponies other colors, and as Rainbow Dash slumbered, he gave her a second set of wings.

Ponies woke up in both shock and amusement that morning!

"DISCORD!" Applejack shouted as she saw what happened to her precious apples. Then her jaw dropped when she saw that Big Macintosh had sprouted a unicorn horn!

Discord appeared and spoke: "Now Applejack, this is the Day of Discord! A chance for me to bring some excitement to the world! Enjoy the chaos with me! Buck the piñatas, and see what's in them!"

So Applejack did, and found one piñata filled with chocolate coated gummy worms… They were actually tasty. Looking around, Applejack saw that her brother seemed to be just happy to have a horn on his head, and her granny seemed spryer than normal for her. Although Apple Bloom's coat turned from bright yellow to blue! At least Apple Bloom seemed to be tolerant of being a horse of a different color.

Now, when Rainbow Dash came around, she was screaming through the skies. After she had figured out how to coordinate four wings, she was flying faster than ever; she even did a sonic rainboom.

Fluttershy found out that Discord made her pet bunny, Angel, a giant, and he began treating her like a pet, by fixing her a carrot and apple butter sandwich, brushing her mane, and stroking her coat. It was a dream come true for her, and of course, Discord would do that for his best friend.

For Pinkie Pie, Discord enchanted cupcakes and cookies to fly around like a swarm of butterflies, giving her the opportunity to chase them around and try to bite them out of the air.

However, for Twilight Sparkle and Spike, he enchanted all the books in the Ponyville castle to fly about like little birds, and put a spell on Spike's bed and soap. The bed was enchanted to run around, and the soap turned his scales into a rainbow of colors!

For Rarity, Discord went a bit out of line by making her only able to see in black and white, oh sure there were some grey hues, but the spectrum was gone for her! She freaked out so badly that he had to give her back her color vision before the princesses decided that the Day of Discord shouldn't be a holiday after all. Instead, he decided to turn her into a dragon, something that was over double her original size, with wings. She had spikes along her spine that reflected the usual style of her mane, plates along her belly of the same color, her tail was tipped with her pony-tail, and her scales shone like pearls!

"There, how's that, Rarity?" Discord asked.

"I-I never would've suspected this, but I think that I might like being a dragon!" She replied.

"Yes, and I'm sure that your friend, Spike would be sure to flip out."

"SPIKE! Oh yes, I should go and see him! I can only imagine the look on his face." Rarity replied.

ΩΩΩ

"Princess Twilight Sparkle! There's a dragon circling over Ponyville!"

It was Snails, with Snips at his side; both unicorns were out of breath,

"A dragon? Come on Spike, maybe you can make sure that it's a friendly dragon." Twilight spoke. She allowed Spike to ride on her back as she took to the air, and met up with the dragon.

"Wait a minute, those colors, the way her spikes are laying, that's not just a dragon, that's Rarity!" Spike exclaimed, his eyes shining with love hearts. Twilight looked at him in disbelief, and then looked to the dragon and called out: "Rarity!"

"Twilight, Spike! Look at me! Don't I make for a fabulous dragon?!" Rarity declared. She maneuvered herself and twirled in the sky, her scales shimmering like gems, and Spike was salivating in his lust. Rarity was already a beautiful pony, but she made for the most dazzling dragon he'd ever seen!

"Spike's speechless!" Twilight called out.

"Come, Spike, how's about we do some gem hunting?" Rarity called out. He couldn't answer, her question made him just about pass out. So Rarity gently maneuvered herself into a position where she could pick up Spike from Twilight's back and she carried him to her favorite mining grounds, where they could collect and picnic with gems.

Twilight then found Discord stretched out on the roof of Fluttershy's cottage and told him: "You know what, this is kind of fun. By the way, nice move on turning Rarity into a dragon, Spike is more than enamored with her."

"Why thank you, Twilight, it's nice to know that chaos is appreciated sometimes." Discord replied. The two of them looked down to Fluttershy and the giant Angel, the two of them were cuddled together in the shade of a tree with umbrellas on its branches, the pegasus was curled up on Angel's belly.

All in all it was an interesting day for the ponies, and as night was falling, Rarity and Spike returned and decided to sleep outside.

However, as he had promised, his fun had to end, and he had to turn everything back to normal. He reached Spike and Rarity last, and Spike asked him: "Do you really have to turn her back into a unicorn?"

"I promised Celestia and Luna that I'd return everything back to normal by tomorrow." Discord replied.

"Don't worry, Spike, this may not be the last time you see me as a dragon." Rarity whispered, and with a snap, Discord had turned Rarity back into a unicorn

ΩΩΩ

The next day, Ponyville came together for a day of harmony, and everyone brought a treat to share with the town for a massive potluck feast! Twilight had organized times for eating, playing games, and even taking a stage to sing songs and perform other talents!

So, without a doubt, the Day of Discord and Harmony Celebration were a massive hit with the ponies.

Still, a lot of good things come with a price, for somewhere deep in a netherworld, the power of chaos, amongst the cheerfulness of ponies had woken something up; something that will rise into the world of Equestria.

Something terrible.

ΩΩΩ

Okay, that ending may be a bit rushed, but what did you think? Excited?
