The Quest For The Past
Chapter 83: Too Many Pinkie Pies Part 1
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI was teaching Twilight the transmutation spell. We were in town square and Twilight was aiming her horn at an apple, trying to turn it into an orange. The apple started to glow, but, before it changed in any way, the spell fizzled out.
"Try again, Twi," encouraged Spike, "you can do it!"
"Remember to continuously feed magic into your horn," I added. "The magic requirement is probably higher than your horn's current capacity."
"Okay, let's try this again!" Twilight exclaimed enthusiastically. She started charging her magic back into her horn. "One, two-!" Pinkie tackled her before she could finish, sending the magic she'd stored up outward in a magic bolt. I summoned a Shield Circle and stopped it before it hit somepony. I turned to the Pink menace.
"Dammit, Pinkie, you can't just interrupt during-" Then I exploded.
I woke up in my room next to my bag of drachmas. Why is this in the middle of my room? Really?! I just exploded and that's the question I ask?! I should probably ask Twilight what just happened. No shit, me! I stood up and made my way downstairs.
"Hey, Twilight!" I called as I reached the bottom. "What just-?! Oh." Sky and Twidong were sitting at the table (playing what looked like poker), staring at me in confusion. There was an awkward silence. "So... Who's winning?"
"So you have no idea at all how you got here?" Asked Twidong. I shook my head.
"None," I answered. "Oh!" I turned to Sky. "Whoever sent me here sent my money with me." Sky blinked.
"Wait, you mean...?" She asked.
"Yep. There's nineteen thousand bits worth of drachmas sitting in your room."
"Huh. Nice. But wait, you told us that future her," she pointed to her swollen belly, "told you that time flows differently in different universes, so how long has it been for you?" Uh... One, two, three...
"Five weeks or so." Sky looked shocked.
"Only five weeks?!"
"Yeah. What about for you?"
"It's been ten months!"
"Ten months?! Holy shit!"
"I know!"
"That's more than nine!"
"It's insane!"
"It's nearly eleven!"
"This party's getting crazy!"
"Did somepony say crazy?" Asked two familiar voices. Sky realised who they were before I did and frowned.
"Oh for buck's sake..." There was a loud bang and a flash of light. When my eyes recovered, I could see- Oh for buck's sake... Hey! That's what Sky just-! Shut up, me! Before us stood Discord and his female counterpart, both grinning stupidly. "What do you want, Eris? And who the buck is that?"
"That's Discord," I answered before either of them could. "He's her male counterpart. He probably helped her escape."
"Quite right, Skydong!" Exclaimed Teatcord. "But unlike my handsome friend here," Discord grinned wider, "I didn't escape anything! Lord Sun-Butt decided that I would be useful to him reformed!"
"Seriously?"
"Yeah," replied Sky, "she 'reformed', and I use the word loosely, a few months ago."
"Well, that makes this easier for me. Now I only have to fight one chaos god."
"What?"
"Discord escaped his prison a while ago, just after I visited the first time." Discord laughed.
"I would hardly call you freeing me an escape!" He exclaimed.
"Either way, I need to recapture him." Discord huffed.
"After all I've done for you?"
"What?"
"How do you think you got here?" I frowned.
"Why did you bring me here, anyway?" The chaos gods grinned wider than ever and turned to each other.
"Why don't we explain it to them in song?"
"It would only be fair seeing as they got one last time!"
"Oh crap," Sky and I said in usion. The two of them snapped their weird talon-y things and a stage appeared around them. They were suddenly wearing a suit and a dress and we were suddenly sitting at a table. The room was pitch black other than two spotlights on each of them. Tribal music began to play as they danced about the stage.
"I hardly think you're qualified," sang Discord, "to come across all mystified! After all, you've only swapped a 'verse!"
"Why is this happening?"
"So sit, relax and have some cheese!" Sang Teatcord, offering us cheese. "Understanding is a breeze! It'll take a minute, and then you'll know for sure!"
"You'll know for sure, you'll know for sure, yes we implore!"
"Oh for buck's-"
"It's fun to be a god!"
"Have more cheese!" Cheese rained down on us.
"Here, have some cod!" Discord held out a dead fish to us.
"You can swap a Pony, into a different world!"
"Make them really, really confused!"
"Make them a parent, with themselves!"
"It's a rather touching notion, when your fuck buddy looks like you!"
"And then you become a father, or then you become a mother! If they say you've got a kid, that's what you have!"
"But then, you've got to pay, the child fees so that they can stay, living in a house and not on the street!"
"Where is this even going?"
"But us two are gods, and the perks are great! All of Magi on a plate! But even with chaos, order must be kept!"
"It must be kept, it must be kept, the order, yeah!"
"It's fun to be a god!"
"SO MUCH CHEESE!" There was a tidal wave of cheese.
"OMG, FROGS!" Ten frogs appeared and exploded.
"Don't be dickish, pay your debts, that's our advice!"
"Don't be too much of a dickhead!"
"Or at least up to a point!"
"Don't let yourself owe them anything!"
"By paying it off in full!"
"Hey, look! A purple rabbit!" A purple rabbit ran across the stage.
"That's crazy! Let's go grab it!"
"And now the debt has been paid in full!"
"Paid in full!" The music went crazy for a few seconds before confetti exploded out of everywhere.
The two chaos gods took a bow.
"I don't get it," I said after a few seconds of silence. They groaned.
"I owed you for freeing me so I sent you back into this parallel universe to pay your fuck buddy and see your daughter be born," Discord quickly explained.
"Oh. Wait, did you just say-?" Sky cried out and fell to her knees.
"It's starting!" She gasped. "I'm giving birth!"
"W-What?!"
"Gah! Baby coming! Now! Help!"
"What do I do?!"
"Teleport, Support Circle, levitation, I don't care! Get me to the bucking hospital!"
"Uh, right!" I teleported us to the hospital and, after quickly explaining what was happening, watched as Sky was rushed to a room.
This is one of those days, isn't it? Yep. Isn't it great?

So this happened.
I linked the instrumental version of the original (and awesome) song because it's easier to sing along to. Unless you don't know it. Here's a link to a version with vocals if you don't.
