((Author's Note: Some of this chapter will probably contradict the upcoming Discord episode, "Keep Calm and Flutter On," I can feel it. In the event of that...I don't particulary want to change this chapter, so I guess the story will keep calm and carry on like I already have it planned out to. Anywho, all rights for the songs used in this chapter belong to Owl City.))

Today, it was raining chocolate milk. That's right, you heard correctly: chocolate milk. A stunned Twilight and I watched from the library as a brown downpour appeared, coming from pink, sticky cotton candy clouds. The purple unicorn, coming out of the shock, said, "This is impossible! We locked up Discord only a few years ago! He couldn't have gotten out just yet."

"There's another thing I don't understand about this," Spike jumped in, beginning to gaze out the window as well, "Why didn't the Princess send us a letter yet? You'd think she would've noticed this stuff by now…" I looked around outside for an answer, then suddenly, I found it. Right next to the border of Ponyville, which was in view, the clouds just…stopped. I gasped, "That's it!"

"What's it?" The unicorn and dragon asked in unison.

"Look just beyond the borders of Ponyville; the clouds just stop!"

"DD, that doesn't explain anything," Twi said, still skeptical.

"Yes, it does! I bet if you look at the other sides of the border, you'll see it stops there, too!" The two, still skeptical, ran to the other windows of the library. Spike was the first to yell, "You're right, DD! The clouds are contained to Ponyville!"

"That doesn't sound like something Discord would do." Thank you, Captain Obvious, also known as Twilight Sparkle. The unicorn and I then headed out the door to determine just exactly who was causing the rain. I told my friend, "Okay, so we've determined that this isn't Discord. It may be one of those fanatics who actually liked what he did."

"But who in their right mind would step out of the shadows?" The question my friend asked was suddenly answered when she let out a gasp and pointed to something behind me. I turned around, only to gasp at what I saw.

"DISCORD!" We both screamed at the top of our lungs. We would've been moving faster than Rainbow Dash by now, but we were frozen with fear. The dragonequis put his hands up defensively and said in a voice different than his own, "No, no! Guys, it's me!"

"Look, Discord," Twilight nearly growled at the beast, "some phony-sounding different voice isn't going to hide the fact that you're here in-!"

"Fire Twilight?" I asked, the first to recognize his different voice. The creature nodded his head in response, only for Twilight to gasp, and ask, "How do I know this isn't a trick?"

"Just look at my eyes!" The dragonequis got to eye-level with us, and we saw that his eyes were not gold with mismatched red dots, but blue with even black pupils. We were now convinced that this was Fire Twilight. I was the first to ask, "How did this happen?"

"Let's just say the song 'Deer In the Headlights' gives me….ideas about who's singing it."

"Ah," we both exclaimed in realization. You see, Fire Twilight's magic was activated by his dad's songs, and the magic could affect anything surrounding him. Fire-cord then continued, "But its okay, I'm starting to revert back to normal, actually." He then pointed to where Discord's goat hoof usually was, now replaced by Fire's yellow pony leg. I then asked, "So you're the one behind all this chocolate rain?"

"Yes. It seems the song gave me some of Discord's powers as well, and I decided to test them out." The beast's yellow arms returned to Fire's normal hooves, forcing him on all fours.

"But why?" His fillyfriend asked nervously. "Why cause this chaos?"

"Well…" he started, his lizard leg changing back and his body now shortening, "I found his chaos….cool."

"You WHAT?!" We screamed in unison again. Twilight explained, "Fire, he tore me away from my best friends, and broke any hope I had left in my heart after that!" I jumped in, and also explained, "He nearly tore my family apart, and he also took any hope I had in my drawing future away!" We then asked together, "So how can you like him?"

"Well, the chocolate rain, cotton candy clouds, soapy roads…it's all fun and games, isn't it?"

"Not if you're slipping and tripping all over them," The purple unicorn grumbled, focusing in on that last one.

"Well, maybe you need a little lesson in skating," Fire-cord pushed us towards the now soapy pathway and as soon as her hooves touched it, she fell flat on her face. Fire-cord extended a hoof to pick his fillyfriend up, and she gladly accepted the help. He clung tight to her and said, "Don't worry; I'll help you as we go." I followed along as Fire-cord began to sing as they went.

Welcome back,

Chaos once again

And put on your warm candy sweater

'Cause you'll feel much better when

The chocolate falls

Gently to the ground

The temperature drops

And your shivers foam all the rivers around

But I'll keep you warm…

I then noticed that the road was turning into what felt like a roller derby; skating without no actual end. I assured myself it was all part of the song, and continued to follow the skating couple.

If speed's a pro

Inertia must be a con

'Cause the cold wind blows at precise rates

When I've got my hoof skates on

If all the roads

Were paved with soap that wouldn't thin or pop

I could skate from Appleloosa

To Canterlot, full stop

'Cause you keep me warm…

Fire-cord then let go of his fillyfriend, and she started to skate very well on her own, even starting to pull ahead of Fire-cord. I started to catch up to them both.

Peer over the edge, can you see me?

Rivulets flow from your eyes

Paint runs from your mouth like a waterfall,

And your lungs crystallize

I'll travel the chaotic tundra

I'll brave bunnies and chocolate rain

And that's just the tip of the soap bar

I'll do whatever it takes to change…

Soon, all three of us were skating in sync with each other, all of us trying to race foreword, but failing. We laughed at this fact, and all speeded ahead.

Farewell, harmony of my home

Rather skate on the thinnest soap

Elements failed us before they froze

Discord bit down on all our hope…

The soapy road stopped as we all slipped off of it. I noticed Fire Twilight was now back to normal, and he and Twilight were holding hooves as they slipped off the soap road.

Puddles fill up and enfold us

As we wait in this chaos storm

So we snuggle close in the darkness

And keep each other so warm…

Twilight opened her eyes and got out of the romantic scene, and explained, "Okay, you causing a little chaos is different from Discord causing chaos. Then again, why should I be worrying? It's already starting to move away!" She pointed a hoof to the sky, where the cotton candy clouds were starting to disappear. I asked, surprised, "Did your dad actually write that song?"

"No, I parodied a song my dad wrote for Winter Wrap-Up," Fire Twilight explained. "But, my dad does have a song about a candy-land,"

"Please don't tell me-!" but the purple unicorn's word's stopped cold when she saw her coltfriend's horn glowing and music start to play. She snarked, "Great, just great."

"Oh, come on, Twilight," I said excitedly, "this'll be fun!" We were suddenly transported to a mountain, which was made of…whipped cream? There were bits of fruit here and there, and Fire sang the opening lyrics:

This is a world of dreams and reverie

Where I felt the stars explode around me…

I then noticed beautiful planets were visible in the sky above us, and incredibly close. Both Twilight and I noticed rumbling, the unicorn mare the first to ask, "What's that noise?" We then screamed as we saw an avalanche of whipped cream coming down at us. We both took the giant pieces of fruit and used them as sleds to get the heck down the mountain.

Unfortunately, the thing was coming down faster than we were able to sled. We ended up getting buried with whipped cream. We looked at each other once we got out, and both laughed. We got another fruit piece sled and headed down the mountain, and then figured we were at a really high altitude, because we were just about to go through…

"Cotton candy clouds?!" Twilight questioned before we went through them, and came back into Ponyville. Our sleds disappeared as Fire finished up the song. The world around us was now normal, showing no signs that candy coated clouds or chocolate rain had ever existed.

"That was awesome!" I exclaimed. Fire Twilight chuckled, "You know, before my dad even wrote that song about Discord, I used to use another song to cause some chaos…"

"Can you please see it?" I asked, too soon for Twi to cover up my mouth. Fire walked through the business area of town as he started to sing.

Toupee or not toupee, that is the question,

It refused to stay, as it all turned gray

Oh, William Shakespeare's receding hair
Please excuse the pun

It's hair today, gone tomorrow

So be thankful for what precious locks you have
To pay or not to pay that is the question

And by the way I just gotta say

Thank the Lord, I'm not going bald
And if I may quip

My curls and I are just like heaven

'Cause rest assured, there'll be no parting there
But should my head get bare

Like Friar Tuck or heart chased a swallow

It makes me smile 'cause I know just what I'd do
Yeah, if I had more wigs than I knew what to do with

I'd open a second hand store

And if you ever went bald, you'd recall it

'Cause I'd cleverly call it, 'Rugs from Me to You'

By the time he was done singing his song, we noticed our manes were gone. Twilight screamed, while I laughed, "Nice spell, Fire!" I soon noticed a few other ponies close by had lost their manes, and the store-front next to us had changed into the one described in the song. Twi actually got mad at us, and decided to spend the rest of the day alone.

Fire Twilight and I spent the rest of the day playing pranks with Pinkie and Rainbow Dash since his songs put me in the mood. The two questioned why the yellow unicorn had stirred up chaos once they'd heard, but he said it was all in fun. Once we were done for the day, Fire took me back home. I explained to him, "You know, one of my favorite artists, Lovely Pencil, created a new style called abstract. It drew the most…surreal images you could think of. She was said to have been influenced by Discord…can you believe that?"

"Yeah, I can believe that," he replied, "because I heard she actually had a crush on him." I chuckled at his comment, and watched him as he walked into the night to his house. I went over my desk and decided it was high time I wrote another letter to my parents. I picked up a pencil and wrote:

Dear Mom and Dad,

I've realized that sometimes we can do things that shock or that other ponies may not understand. I have learned to accept the things that make us different and to keep an open mind in the face of adversity. And I've also learned some other artists make works that are suppose to shock the viewer…

Just look at Lovely Pencil's work. She saw beauty in almost anything, even the most…chaotic of pieces. I hope I can be like her in my open-mindedness, and you guys can be, too.

Sincerely,

Doodledraw

That night, I secretly went to Canterlot. Then, when I got there, I went into the CanterlotGardens. No guards were on watch, so I was good when I laid down a bunch of (dyed) blue flowers next to Discord's stone prison. I said, almost as if he could listen, "You know, one of my favorite artists, Lovely Pencil, was said to have been inspired by you. So, I gave you these flowers. I may still hate you…but I've been told to keep an open mind. As I walked away, I almost felt as if he whispered in my ear, "Thank you, my little pony…"
