Me- Hey y'all...thought l'd give y'all a surprise here with a little something l'd like to call-
Pinkie(talking excitedly)- Ooohhh...a pie? A cake? A PIE CAKE!?
*Pulls out a cake and pie seemingly out of nowhere, eats it*
Pinkie- Mmmmm...yummy!
Me(stares in fascination)- l will never understand how you do that...
Applejack- The eating two things at once thing, or the pulling random things out of nowhere thing?
Me- The second one, though the first option is strangely intriguing as well.
Donnie- l can't understand how she does things like that...it's not scientifically possible!
Twilight- No, but it's Pinkie-possible...believe me when l say that some things have no explanation...you just have to accept them.
Discord(fake sniffles)- That was absolutely inspirational Twilight...Now, is it just me, or is this intro getting a bit lengthy...
Me- l think it's just you...
*Everyone stares at me like 'really?'*
Me(laughing my head off)- Okay, okay, l get it! Thanks to everyone for reading and reviewing this story...l am really surprised that l am having so much fun writing this, and l hope you guys have as much fun reading it as l did writing it!
Spike- Well they would, if you'd give them the next chapter already!
Me- Okay okay, sheesh! Getting lectured by fictional characters...what's next, flying pigs singing Christmas carols?! ^.^
Hope you enjoy this one...happy reading one and all!
Discord POV-
"RAPH!" Everyone shouted, as l used my magic to engulf the feisty one, otherwise known as Raphael, in a magical sphere of light.
Despite my now glorious reformation and good behavior and all that goody two-shoe nonsense, l was getting a rather impish delight from the looks on their faces. Mix of horror, dash of fear, add a load of uncertainty, and you get a great feeling of satisfaction.
Anyways, once the light faded, instead of a cockroach standing in the center of the room, there was another, well, same guy actually, just as an emerald-colored stallion, with a rustled fire-red mane. lf l was to be completely honest, he was...exceptional in appearance.
What? I'm not about to give him credit when l don't need to.
"Raph!" everyone cheered happily. That reaction l was expecting.
What l wasn't expecting was Fluttershy flying up and hugging him.
"Oh my gosh! l was so worried! Are you okay?" she asked as she quickly pulled away and started looking at him to make sure he wasn't injured or with any other added features.
Sure, pamper the new guy with tons of attention...what did he do that was so special? l'm the one who changed him back from being a bug...what kind of heroic attention was I being lavished with? None! Not even a simple-
"Hey...umm...thanks sir..." l heard someone say. l looked at the pony who said it. None other than Bug-Boy himself was the one who offered that thanks. He had a thankful, as well as an embarrassed expression in his eyes. Hmmm...something tells me he doesn't like to thank people very much...apologizing must be worse for him. l might have to remember that in the future.
l thought l'd get on his nerves for a bit to rile him up...hehe, this'll be fun.
With a look of pretended surprise on my face, l teleported myself to the side of Raphael, who was looking very surprised and confused..
"What's that you say Raphael? l don't think l could quite hear you...hold on...just a minute...l may have something in my ear...hold on..."
I saw a look which clearly said 'what the heck?' as l pulled random things out of my left ear. An apple, a mirror, a toothbrush.
"Oh! l was wondering where that went.". l said as l began using the toothbrush to smooth out my beard. Hey, even a draconequis has to look their best at random gatherings between friends.
Well, after pulling several more things out of my ears, which earned a look of awe and amusement out of the audience before me. l was very entertained by the look of shock and disbelief on his face.
"What the... how'd you just..." stammered Raph disbelievingly.
"Well, l'd LOVE to answer that, but l'm afraid even you wouldn't be able to comprehend the magical prowess l possess . However, l would love for you to describe the world you're from, seeing as how this simple task put you and your brothers in a state of shock".
"Now wait a minute, how the shell did you-"
l gasped in pretend horror, fully enjoying Raph's response
"Why Raphael, watch your tongue...
At this l grabbed his tongue magically, and as it floated around him, a look of panic and anger came across his face.
"...we are, after all, in the presence of ladies..." l said smugly, as l returned his tongue to his mouth, after which he covered his mouth. l chuckled, but was interrupted by a very stern-looking Twilight.
"Discord...that's enough!" Twilight ordered, stamping her hoof down demandingly. Geez, TOUCH-Y!
Nevertheless, l went along and humored her.
"Alright Twilight, if you insist, but l will say that the fun was just getting started...l was going to-"
"Maybe another time Discord...after all, this is still very new to them" Fluttershy interceded, much to my secret delight, and Raphael's frustration. Yes, that glare was very recognizable.
"Anything for you dear Fluttershy...we are after all, best friends..." l said, reveling in the many faces of Raphael. l'd have to remember to watch this later. l knew exactly why Raphael was making them, and l didn't even need magic to tell!
Now, l know Fluttershy and l are merely friends, and she has never thought of me beyond that. Never has and *sigh* never will. Ha, doesn't mean l can't make it that much more of a challenge for him to earn her affections.
Discord the Matchmaker... a whole new form of Chaos, one which even Twilight can't find reason to be upset with.
After all, it's for a good cause.
l can tell Raphael likes her, but l want to see how this Raph and Fluttershy dynamic thing works. l also want to know how much interest he has in her. also, if she has any for him in the same way.
As her official friend, and her unofficial Matchmaker, l was going to gauge their interactions, and l could tell l was going to enjoy this immensely, seeing as l was already getting on his nerves.
Raph POV-
l can't believe this...this thing... is he some kind of mutant?
He sure as shell wasn't no pony, or goat, or bird...he was a mumbo- jumbo mash-up creation...one that apparently had freaky magic...
Yeah, Donnie, it's magic...there is no scientific explanation for removing a tongue, having it float in mid-air, and the being able to re-attach it. Now that was just plain freaky!
I could tell Mikey was getting a kick out of this whack-job...not that l'm going to call him that out loud...l still want Fluttershy to like me, and l was in a state of shock as l felt her rush up to hug me after this Discord guy changed me back into a Pegasus again. Felt great to not be a bug at least.
Felt even better to have her come up and hug me like that, though l felt a little awkward too.
Hey, l beat up aliens and all sorts of other bad guys every day, along with my brothers. Not one day goes by where one of us doesn't get some kind of scrape, or nick or bruise.
Well, l sure wasn't used to any kind of attention being lavished on me...at least not like this. l kinda like it.
Though I'm not too sure of this Discord guy. I'm gonna keep an eye on him. l can't stand the way he gets under my shell...or fur, whatever you would call it. In a way, he's almost worse than Mikey...it's almost like he's intentionally trying to do everything he can to irritate me.
Well, he can try, but l'm not letting him or anyone else try to stop me from trying to get Fluttershy to like me as more than a friend...and with the way she hugged me, l think my chances may be pretty good.
Twilight POV-
I sighed- how was l going to fix this strange situation when l couldn't even explain how it happened- even Discord didn't know how it happened. l suppose if we just focus on getting along and helping these guys from wherever they're from, maybe a solution will come.
Besides, this may be a great learning opportunity to learn about a whole different world. What their lives are like, what the people and food are like. Oooh...this could be an opportunity of a lifetime!
First though, l think they need a place to stay...and food.
"Seeing how you four don't know how long you're staying, do you have a place to stay? lf not, there's more than enough room in the castle...you four could stay as guests if you like...
"ALRIGHT! We get to stay in a castle! Sweet!" cheered Mikey. l smiled at his child-like enthusiasm. Him and Pinkie would get along great.
"Wait, we're in a castle?" Raph exclaimed in disbelief, looking around him, taking in his surroundings. Well, l guess l should have said something earlier, but in my defense, it wasn't like that was the first thing on my mind.
"Wait, so if we're in a castle..." Donatello started, then Leo finished his forming question.
"...then there's royalty somewhere...may we speak with them?" Leonardo asked politely, stepping forth to look at me.
At first, l didn't answer, as l was busy noticing how blue his eyes were- there was a deep dark hue to it, but there was a certain quality in them that made them...attractive?
"Wait, do you mean to tell me that you haven't been properly introduced to them yet?" Discord asked, gaping in humored disbelief.
"She did introduce herself...did we miss something in Twilight Sparkle?" asked Raphael in a slightly challenging tone.
Discord summoned a nail file, and began filing his claws, as he spoke in a dis-interested tone.
"Oh...l don't know...maybe the princess part..." he finished, reveling in my discomfort as the four of them gasped in shock.
Just what l needed- a reason for them to treat me differently.
Me- Well, there you are guys...hope this wasn't too boring...l am getting a bit overwhelmed, as there are four potential, maybe five pairings in this...not to mention, l still cant figure out who to pair Donnie with...
Donnie- Hey! Don't l get a say in this?
Me- Maybe later, but as of right now, l'm a bit tossed up between Pinkie Pie or Applejack...
Applejack- Don't you think we should be allowed to choose?
Me- Of course, but maybe you readers will be able to help out! You can let me know what you think on this by your reviews who you think Donnie should be with...Applejack, or Pinkie? WHO and WHY?
Of course, l'd also like to know what YOU think about this story so far...l hope you like it! Thanks for reading and double thanks for reviewing ;D
