I woke up in the middle of the night and got up out of bed. I hate nights when you wake up really early in the morning and you feel really rested so you can’t sleep anymore. I walked over to my window and pulled the blind out of the way.

Why does everypony have their lights on in their house? Did I miss something, or is this just one giant collaborative night of little sleep. I better go check it out.

I got my shoes on and walked over to my door. I opened it and walked out and locked it behind me. No one standing outside my door? What a nice change of pace. I walked down the stairs and outside to the streets of Ponyville.

I walked down the streets and there were some other ponies walking around as well. They look to be going towards town hall; I should follow them and be nosey. I like being nosey. I walked up to a light green pony that I recognized as Lyra after I got a closer look. “Umm, Lyra?”

“Oh, hi Kyle. Do you know what’s going on?” Lyra asked me in a friendly tone.

“Actually I was going to ask you the same thing. I woke up and saw everypony’s lights on and came out to see what was going on.” I replied to her. What is it nightmare night already? I never made my costume. I will kick myself if it is.

“All I know is that the mayor has called a meeting at town hall. I wonder what it’s about.” Lyra asked me. I can tell she was just as confused about the situation as I was. For once I am not the only one who feels like they have been left out of details for something interesting. That is another nice change of pace.

I walked to the town hall with a bunch of other ponies and we stood in front of the stage. I wonder what it is about. It started to rain then. I looked up and drops landed on my face. I never knew that their rain was yellow. I don’t know what possessed me to do this but I licked my lips when some of the drops landed on them. HOLY CRAP, it tastes like lemonade! I love lemonade! I wish I had a glass right now, this is so cool…it is raining lemonade!

A lot of the other ponies took notice of my reaction to the rain and were figuring out for themselves what the rain was. I heard reactions like ‘why is it raining lemonade?’ and ‘I hope this isn’t something bad’. WHO CARES! IT’S FREE LEMONADE!

I never noticed, but all of the ponies in Ponyville had gathered here now. They all no doubt were thinking the same thing ‘what is going on?’ The mayor finally stepped up on stage. She walked over to the microphone and began to address us.

“Citizens of Ponyville; I have some news that may be unpleasant for most of you. Strange occurrences such as the lemonade rain and the day to night reversal have been happening throughout all of Equestria. We do not have any word from the princess yet on the situation, but do expect to have some weird occurrences for a while until we get some info. Just go on with your normal lives and I will call you all together when I get some more information on the subject.” Then the mayor walked off the stage.

Wait, so it is really supposed to be daytime right now? And for the weird occurrences; if they are like the lemonade rain, I can live with it. But for some reason I feel like there is something far bigger behind these stupid things happening than I want.

I walked away from the stage and saw Twilight standing alone over by a tree. Forever Alone, but maybe she knows a little more than the mayor seeing as she is the student to the princess. I walked over to her and decided to strike conversation with the lavender mare. “Hi Twilight. Are you enjoying the rain?” Genius! Bring a little comedy to a conversation and it will lighten up the situation a bunch I say.

“How can I like this stupid rain when it’s the beginning of chaos?” Twilight said seething at me in anger. I could tell she was just shreds of control away from having a freak-out. Ok, comedy isn’t going to help in this situation. Well apparently my act is even dryer than burnt toast. It’s as dry as my friend’s humor, which is the driest thing in the known universe.

Let’s try to calm her down so she doesn’t kill me.

“Ok Twilight calm down just a little. We won’t know what this truly is until we get word from Celestia. For all we know right know RD could have just played a really good prank on everypony with the rain.” Oh god, I forgot to strip the comedic aspects out of my words. I guess I should prepare to be love and tolerated to death now.

Twilight began to laugh. Wait. Why is she laughing? Is it because of what I said about RD, or is it because of her last shreds of control finally breaking over stress. I hope it’s the first one. “That would be something she would do. Thanks for calming me down a little; it is just getting really stressful trying to figure out what is going on.” Whew, everything went better than expected.

“Well, The mayor said to just go on as if nothing bad is happening until we get word from Celestia. You should get away from your studies for a little bit and go to the spa with Rarity or something; she would probably like that.” I want to go home and fix my room from yesterday’s experience with Derpy Hooves. I will get her back eventually.

“Maybe your right. It is getting a little boring constantly studying all day. What are you going to do?” Twilight asked me.

“I have to go back to my room and clean it from yesterday’s visit from Derpy. I’ll meet up with you later.” I replied as I frowned when I remembered what Derpy did to me yesterday. First scaring me half to death, then killing my favorite hat, then making me eat a mouthful of hardwood floor. What next?

I walked back to my apartment in the light drizzle of lemonade and walked up to my room. I opened the door and a sound that was not pleasant met my ears. I walked into my room and shut my door quietly. I heard what sounds to be laughing coming from somewhere in my room. It wasn’t the ‘I love this joke’ laugh either; it was more of the ‘I have gone completely off my rocker’ laugh. WHERE IS IT COMING FROM? I want to get it to stop. It is like there is some freakin maniac in my room laughing at me.

I walked around my room and I deduced that my sound was coming from my bag. OK so it is coming from my bag. Hold on a momento, HOW CAN IT BE COMING FROM MY BAG!? Do I even want to know what it is? Yes, yes I do because it might be something funny. Or it could be something that is really bad.

I walked over and picked up my bag. Whatever was inside it was starting to laugh even more now. I opened my bag and found nothing that was laughing. I searched the pocket on the outside and I found something that I forgot about. The laughing can wait. What is this?

I pulled out my old phone from when I was like 11 years old. It was a Nokia. I forgot that I was bringing my Special forces officer to school to try and break it that day. I must have not been paying attention because my phone was the thing laughing. I have to say that this was the most messed up thing that I have ever seen in my life. My old Nokia phone was laughing at me.

“Yep I have drove straight past Sanityville, and have crashed my car right into a tree in Crazy town.” I said aloud as I held my phone. I don’t like the fact that an inanimate object is laughing at me.

“Hi little miss idiot, so you finally found my hiding spot. I figured you were going to be as dumb as a rock and look everywhere else but here first. Congratulations, you passed kindergarten for your basic learning skills!” my phone said to me as it stopped laughing.

*Sparks followed by small explosion in my brain*I can’t even begin to understand what I am hearing. This has to be one of those weird occurrences because my phone is broken to begin with. MY PHONE IS INSULTING ME!!!! I want to kill it, it needs to burn in the deepest hole in the bowels of hell. “Are you talking to me?” I asked the phone in a stupid dumbfounded tone. How couldn’t I? You would do the same thing if a phone from 2003 was talking to you.

“Are you talking to me? What do you think? You are the only thing in here with a brainstem; although I am beginning to have second thoughts about that now. Do you need to go back to kindergarten? I mean you have only been in 1st grade for 5 minutes.” My phone said to me in a ‘I’m a big scary bully now give me your lunch money’ tone.

That’s it. I took the phone in my hand and walked up to the wall and smacked it as hard as I could against the surface. I repeated the process for a good minute or two before I finally stopped. Take that you stupid phone, I hate you.

The phone just laughed at me some more. “You think you can get rid of me that easily? I am like a cockroach, I will survive even the strongest things you do to me.” Then the phone started to play a sound ‘wah wah wah wahhhh’. Oh it did not just make the sad tuba noise. IT’S ON NOW!

I took my phone over to my window and opened it. I put my hand out of the window and held it there. “Say your prayers.”
“You think this can destroy me? You are much more of an idiot than I thought. I should just skip sending you to kindergarten and just send you home to momma so she can change your diaper.” My phone said still making fun of me.

ARRGGGHH! You are so going to die. I was going to hope for an apology and then we could be friends. But now I feel like smashing you into a hundred pieces. “Bye bye” I said as I dropped the phone out of the window. It was still night-time outside, but I could see the light from the phone as it fell.

The phone still laughed at me as it fell saying various insults like ‘stupid face’ and idiot boy’. Ugh, it’s still saying insults as its falling.

I walked down to the front of the building and expected to see the phone shattered into bits and pieces. I never expected to find that the phone in one piece and still mocking me. I made a frown and began walking over to the phone. I can’t believe it survived a 3 story drop out a window. IT MUST DIE.

“Hello stupid. I was beginning to think that I was never going to see you again. I would really have liked that to happen, but seeing as you are still here I guess I will have to settle for your stupid conversations” my phone said to me.

“I have had enough of your insults. You may be the strongest thing in the known universe, but I can still get rid of you.” I will drop you into the pond, that way I won’t have to listen to your hate.

I took the phone and began walking to the pond. When I made it there I raised my arm and got ready to throw it. “This is for all the injustice you did to my mind!” I yelled as I threw it towards the water. The phone flew through the air and then stopped right above the water. The phone began to glow white and it flew to the other end of the pond. It seemingly grew arms and legs and fell onto the ground.

Wait a minute. Did I just see a phone grow arms and legs? Am I high?

“You haven’t seen the last of me Kyle. Get ready for some chaos to begin.” The phone said to me before it ran away laughing into the forest.

Oh no, I know what makes chaos here. DISCORD. I need to get to Twilight and tell her that my phone has been taken over by discord. If it even is discord. I hope she will take me seriously.

So much for normal days. HO HUM.
