Blissful Chaos - The Grand Entrance (I)

>You are Anon.

>Recently you had begun to watch MLP, which your friends said was worth the time.

>You didn't see the appeal but figured you'd give it a try.

>After the first few episodes you found it was alright, but didn't really enjoy it until Discord made his first appearance.

>It was a win-win situation; you liked his personality and the chaotic aspect made a nice contrast to the rest of the show.

>He also happened to be voiced by one of your favourite voice actors.

>Through the rest of the show's extent you were disappointed at the few appearances he made, but enjoyed the show nevertheless.

>After finishing the series, you started reading on boards and such about fanfictions and sketches.

>A few of your friends even mentioned cons you could go to.

>You weren't too keen on going though, especially with the reputation they seem to have.

>Time after time they would invite you, and you'd politely decline.

>Until the local con, that is.

>You had no intention of going until you were informed that John de Lancie would be there.

>Refusing to dress up (at the disappointment of your friends(who are diehard fans, apparently)) you headed to the con.

>Once there, it didn't seem as bad as everyone made out.

>...Until the throng of cosplayers was found.

>You avoided those and broke away from everyone else.

>De Lancie wasn't scheduled to arrive for another hour or so, which means you needed to keep yourself busy.

>After walking for a while, you found yourself in a large auditorium filled with all sorts of booths.

>They were quite assorted; a few sold homemade toys, some plushies, and quite a few were offering sketches.

>You looked at a few stands, but one stood out to you.

>It was a small table away from everyone else; a banner taped to the front read “Visit Equestria today!”

>You were stricken with curiosity, and checked it out.

>There was one man sitting there who looked to be in his early 40s.

>He seemed quite cheery.

>”You there! How would you like to partake in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?”

>You stop a few feet from the table, and look to make sure he wasn't talking to anyone else.

>The man chuckled; his voice and laugh was eerily familiar.

>”Yes, you my boy! Imagine, if you will, a tour through the /magical/ land of Equestria!”

>Quite a bit of emphasis on magical. You aren't too convinced.

“And what's the catch here? Do I have to empty my pockets for you or inject something?”

>Another laugh. You swear you've heard this voice before.

>”Nothing of the sort! All I need is for you to say yes!”

>You think about it.

>While it seems like it's bullshit (and it probably is, you tell yourself), you're interested to see what they've cooked up.

>You also want to figure out why his voice is so damn familiar.

“You swear there's no catch?”

>”None at all, my boy! All you have to do is say yes.”

>That grin almost looks too happy, but at this point blind curiosity overthrows rational thought.

“Sure, why not. Let's go visit Equestria.”

>His laugh is almost contagious.

>”Splendid, splendid! Now, just let me get a few things organized...”

>He snaps his fingers and the table is gone.

>Wait, what?

“How...how did you do that?”

>”Magic, my dear boy!”

“...Magic.”

>”You say it as if you've never heard of such a thing!”

>With another snap of his fingers, the man shifts, rather spectacularly, into Discord.

>In the flesh.

>Well, that's where you recognize the voice.

>You're absolutely baffled at this point.

“How did you...where did...ugh”

>You rub your temples. God, please let this be a dream.

>”Calm down, boy! We haven't even arrived yet!

>You ignore him and rub your temples some more.

>He puts a hand(claw) on your shoulder, startling you.

>”A word of warning; you're going to want to hold your breath.”

>Before you get a chance to acknowledge what he said, you're both enveloped in a white flash.

 

>It takes your eyes a few moments to readjust after the blinding flash of light.

>But when they do, you're quite awestruck.

>This is Equestria, alright.

>Buildings were upside down, some uprooted from the ground.

>It was your favourite episode, almost like it was recreated just for you.

>They must have done some background work before deciding you'd go to 'Equestria'.

>”Now, I know it isn't quite what you were probably expecting...”

>Discord rubs the back of his neck, almost as if he did something to upset you.

>”...but I took the liberty of revamping it to my likings.”

>You're in awe.

“This...”

“This is AWESOME!”

>He's taken aback by what you said.

>”You...like what I did with the place?”

“Why wouldn't I? You're easily one of my favourite characters, and the fact that you basically recreated one of the best episodes is quite impressive.”

>”...Excuse me?”

>You chuckle.

“You don't really expect me to believe you're the REAL Discord, do you?”

>Now he's beyond confused.

>”What do you mean? Of course I'm the real Discord! The one and only!”

“Yeah, sure. And I'm Princess Luna!”

>Discord cocks his head and looks at you funnily.

>”Are you sure?”

“Oh, totally. Can't you tell?”

>”Oh, yes, definitely. I simply ask because Luna's just over there.”

>You freeze in place.

>Turning around slowly, who else but the princess is standing no more than five feet away from you.

>Discord chuckles quietly behind you, and Luna looks quite pissed.

“Oh. Well, uh, hi there, Luna.”

>”Discord, I've come to negotiate with you.”

>She looks at you with a disgusted look on her face (though you swear she's hiding something; her eyes give it away).

>”And what is this thing?”

>”Why, this is...”

>He looks down at you.

>”...Hey kid, what did you say your name was?”

“I didn't?”

>”Well, what is it?”

>Luna shouts over at you two; “What are you two whispering about over there?”

>Discord shouts back: “Noooooothing!”

“It's Anonymous, by the way.”

>”This thing, I'll have you know, is Anonymous!”

>”Whatever his name is, I have negotiations I wish to go over with you.”

>”Can Anonymous come? I'd be ever so lonely if I went by myself...”

>Luna sighs. You chuckle.

>”Fine. But he is not to have a say on our negotiations, understood?”

>”Sure, sure!” He looks back to you; “Come on, let's go have some fun!”

>Discord begins to follow Luna, and you closely behind him.

>After a few minutes of walking you arrive at what appears to be the only building that isn't affected by this.

>Surprisingly, it's Twilight's treebrary.

>All three of you head in; it's quite barren to your amazement, spare a table and a few chairs in the center.

>Luna takes a seat at one end, and gestures for you two to sit at the opposite end.

>Discord pipes up: “I do hope you don't mind if I make the two of us comfy...”

>With a snap of his fingers two extremely soft-looking chairs appear.

>You both take a seat and she sighs.

>”Now, let's begin our negotiations.
