- >Train rides
- >So tranquil
- >The gentle rattling
- >The peaceful view
- >Yup, shit sucks
- >At least Pinkie was making it interesting
- >”Oh boy I haven’t seen Discord’s statue in so long I can’t wait I bet it’ll be just like how I remember it and…”
- >The attendants had stopped attempting to calm her down after the 5th or so try, and had simply moved you both to one of those train rooms with a door
- >A room that Pinkie was bouncing around
- >As she ricochets off another corner, you reach out our hand and grab her, plopping her down on the seat in front of you
- So, Pinkie! Tell me more of this Discord fellow…
- >Pinkies eyes widen, and you see her muscles tense
- …While sitting, please.
- >She huffs, but quickly gets over it, smiling wide
- >”Well Anon Discord is a funny looking guy to say the least! He’s like a big bag of party mix!
- >What
- What
- >”You know, he’s a bunch of stuff thrown together! Like a big mix! And what better mix than PARTY mix?!
- >Well that cleared up absolutely nothing
- >Pinkie carries on regardless
- >”Apparently him and the Princesses knew each other way back over a thousand years ago but they didn’t get along like how we didn’t get along so they must have fought or something and he got turned into stone!”
- So that’s why he’s stone?
- >”Well sort of, he broke free a couple years ago and started playing a bunch of jokes on people except soon the whole wide world went wacky and oh wow did you just hear how many w’s were in there that sounded crazy and”
- >You give Pinkie a pointed glance
- >”Oh sorry Anon anyways so we had to put a stop to him and then well you know Elements of Harmony power play and tada he’s in stone again!”
- >So, Discord and the Princesses didn’t like each other.
- >That works out well
- >Perfectly, in fact
- >You aren’t too fond of the two either
- >You walk through Canterlot with Pinkie leading the way
- >Unfortunately she regularly gets distracted
- >Would it be inappropriate to put her on a leash?
- >You’ve been to Canterlot before, when you first arrived in Equestria
- >Unfortunately, you were shipped out before you could really get any mental map going
- >Despite the random detours, the castle was getting larger
- >Your hand twitches in anticipation
- >Eventually you reach the gates
- >The guards out front look fairly tough, especially if you ignored the fact that they were a good foot and a half shorter than you
- >They take one look at Pinkie and open the gates, giving you looks as you walk through
- >You ignore them
- So Pinkie, where exactly is this statue anyways?
- >”Well it is right in the back of the garden Anon! It used to be near the center, but after the whole “Oh hey I can come back from being a statue” incident Celestia decided letting the general tours see him on a regular basis wasn’t such a good idea”
- >You stop walking for a moment
- >She put him on display
- >He got out
- >So when he got turned to stone again, she put him farther back
- >And left him alone once again
- >…Still smarter than Fluttershy
- >”Coming Anon?!”
- Oh, sorry Pinkie!
- >Soon you reach the far end of the gardens
- >You stopped seeing other ponies a fair while ago
- >Big walls of shrubbery reach up on either side of you, causing the walking to be in the shadow
- >Good
- >You hated the sun
- Pinkie, are you sure you know where you’re going?
- >Pinkie pops up in front of you
- >”Well of course silly! It’s just been a bit!”
- If you insist
- >15 minutes later, you are sure Pinkie has gotten you both terribly lost
- >Maybe Celestia isn’t as slow as you originally thought
- >How big is this damn maze?
- >Just as you’re about to ask Pinkie again if we aren’t lost, you turn a corner, and Pinkie squees
- >You’ll never understand how they make that a joke
- >It’s like a chew toy
- >”Found you Discord!”
- >You look at the statue Pinkie is now running circles around
- >Party Mix
- >Suddenly, that makes a lot more sense
- >Before you stands an amalgamation of body parts, frozen in a picture of shock
- >Beautiful.
- >You walk up slowly to it, oblivious to your surroundings
- >You think you hear Pinkie chattering on, but you don’t care
- >All that matters is the potential you see in this creature
- >An end to boredom
- >An end to trivialities
- >All that stood before a return to happiness and excitement was some enchantment
- >You raise your hand
- >”Uhm, Anon? Why did you want to see Discord again?”
- >She sounds nervous
- >You chuckle
- >It's been a while since you've genuinely laughed
- >You smile at her
- No reason in particular, Pinkie.
- >You place your hand on Discords chest
- >You see a bright glow appear beside you, but not before you hear a crack
