Inside the Cave of Wonders, AJ lied unconscious on Rainbow Dash's cloud, and Spike started to shake him as he said "Oh, oh. AJ? Wake up! AJ!" Then AJ slowly woke up, sat up, and rubbed his head in pain as he said "Oh, mah head." He looked up to see the entrance which was sealed in. "We're trapped." He said as he started to get angry. "That two-faced, son-of-a-mule!" Spike and Rainbow Dash growled at the sealed entrance. AJ then calmed down, and said "Whoever he was, he's long gone with that statue." "Oh yeah?" Spike asked as he smiled. "Then what do you call this?!" He took out the statue he got from Princess Luna, and placed it on the floor as it returned to its normal size. AJ laughed, and said "Why you scaly little thief!" He rubbed Spike's head, and Rainbow Dash gave him a big hug, and said "Way to go Spike!" AJ looked at the statue, and said "It looks like such a beat-up, worthless piece of junk." He spotted a writing on the statue, and said "Hey, Ah think there's something written here, but it's hard to make out." He rubbed the statue to try and figure out what it says, but the statue suddenly started to shake, and glow. "Whoa, nellie!" AJ yelled out as he dove for cover. "Whoa!" Spike said as he stumbled back in shock. "Take cover!" Rainbow Dash said as she grabbed Spike, and hid behind a medium rock.

Suddenly, the statue broke, and came to life as he said "Aaaaahhhhh! OY!" AJ looked up in shock, and muttered "What in tarnation just happened?!" The creature named Discord opened his yellowish red eyes, looked at AJ, and said "Ten thousand years will give ya such a crick in the neck!" He hung the stunned AJ on a nearby rock, and said "Hang on a second!" He pulled his head off, and spun it as he yelled, and said "Whoa! Does it feel good to be outta there!" Rainbow Dash pulled AJ down as Discord used his tail as a microphone, and said "Nice to be back, mares and gentlecolts! Hi, where ya from? What's your name?" "Uh, Applejack." AJ said. "But everypony calls me AJ." "AJ!" Discord said as a neon sign appeared out of nowhere, and started flash AJ's name. "Hello, AJ. Nice to have you on the show. Can we call you A? Or maybe just J? Or how about laddie! Sounds like 'Here, boy!' Come here, boy'!" He turned into a dog and started to bark. AJ shook his head, and said "Ah must've hit mah head harder than Ah thought." "Do you smoke?" Discord asked. "Mind if I do?" He poofed into smoke, and turns back to his normal form, startling Spike. "Oh, sorry dragon." Discord said. "Hope I didn't singe the scales." He looked at Rainbow Dash, and said "Hey, Rainbow Dash! Haven't seen you in a few millennia! Give me some hoof!" "Hey, Discord!" Rainbow Dash said as she gave Discord some hoof.

Discord then looked at AJ, and said "Say, you're a lot smaller than my last master." He lifted his beer-gut, and said "Either that, or I'm getting bigger. Look at me from the side. Do I look different to you?" "Wait a minute, ya'll." AJ said. "Ah'm your master?" Discord slapped a diploma in his hoof, and a mortarboard on his head as he said "That's right! He can be taught! What would you wish of me?" He turned into Arnold Schwarzenegger, and said "The ever impressive,-." He pretended to be trapped in a cube, and said "The long contained,-." He turned into a ventriloquist with a dummy look-a-like, and said "Often imitated." He tossed the dummy aside, and said "But never duplicated-." Duplicates of Discord appeared out of nowhere, and said "Duplicated, Duplicated, Duplicated, Duplicated, Duplicated, Duplicated, Duplicated, Duplicated, Duplicated." Like a ring announcer at a boxing match, Discord said "Discord! The Spirit Of Chaos!" As the duplicates cheered, he turned into Ed Sullivan, and said "Right here direct from the statue, right here for your wish fulfillment. Thank youuuuu!" "Whoa! Back up, ya'll." AJ said as he stood up. "Wish fulfillment?" Discord nodded, and said "Three wishes to be exact." And ix-nay on the wishing for more wishes." He turned into a slot machine, and said "That's it!" The arm pulled down, and three Discords appeared in the windows, and said "Three." They came out of the slot, wearing sombreros, and said "Uno, dos, tres."

Discord turned into Groucho Marx, and said "No substitutions, exchanges, or refunds." The duck suddenly dropped down with the secret word refunds written on a piece of paper. AJ chuckled, and looked at Spike as he said "Now Ah know Ah'm dreaming." Discord turned back to normal, looked at AJ, and said "Master, I don't think you quite realize what you've got here! So why don't you just ruminate, while I illuminate the possibilities." After he made AJ sit down, he showed him, Spike, and Rainbow Dash all kinds of tricks. After that, he sat down, and said "So what'll it be master?" AJ laughed, and said "Ya'll are gonna grant me any three wishes Ah want, right?" As William F. Buckley, Discord said "Ah, almost. There are a few provisos, a couple of quid pro quos." "Like what, haystack?" AJ asked. Discord turned back to normal, and said "Ah, rule number one, I can't kill anypony." He sliced his head off with his claw, much to AJ, Spike, and Rainbow Dash's dismay, and said "So, don't ask." AJ gulped, and said "Ah won't." Discord put his head back on, and said "Rule number two, I can't make anypony fall in love with anypony else." He turned into a pair of lips, and kissed AJ. He groaned in disgust as Discord said "You little punim, there."

Then Discord layed flat, and got up while turning into a zombie as he said "Rule number three, I can't bring ponies back from the dead. It's not a pretty picture, I don't like doing that!" Frightened, AJ nodded in agreement as Discord poofed back to normal, and said "Other than that, you got it." AJ and Spike looked at each other, and smiled at each other. AJ looked at Discord, and said "Provisos? You mean limitations? On wishes?" He then looked at Spike, and said "Some all powerful spirit of chaos. Can't even bring ponies back from the dead." "You're telling me." Spike said while Discord just glared. "Ah don't know Spike." AJ said. "He probably can't even get us out of this cave. Looks like we're gonna have to find a way out of here." "Agreed." Spike said. "I'm right behind you." Rainbow Dash said. They started to leave, but Discord, stopped them with his goat leg, and said "Excuse me? Are you looking at me? Did you rub my statue? Did you wake me up, did you bring me here, and all of a sudden, you're walking out on me?" As he got madder and madder, he said "I don't think so. Not right now! YOU'RE GETTING YOUR WISHES, SO SIT DOWN!" "Whoa, nellie!" AJ yelped out as he sat on Rainbow Dash's cloud. Spike just screamed, and sat on the cloud. Rainbow Dash gulped as she prepared to move them. Discord sat down on the cloud, and said "In case of an emergency, the exits are here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, anywhere! Keep your hooves, claws, and flanks inside the cloud. Weeee'rrrrrreee...outta here!" They then bursted out of the ground, and started to fly away. As they flew away, AJ, Spike, and Rainbow Dash knew one thing: They never had a friend like Discord before.
