No means no
Chapter 22: The Boys Are Back In Town.
Previous Chapter Next ChapterHave you ever heard of the expression like dominos? No, let me explain it to you. It's my take on a chain reaction, like dominos one will fall right after the other. Popper was the first one to be on his feet and running around, which made the others want to play follow the leader. See my dilemma here? The thing is that it seems that Popper is the only one who inherited his birth mother's uniqueness. I swear I put him down in the playpen for a few seconds and when I turn around he's gone. I went investigating and he wound up in the laundry hamper. I don't know how that happened but I'm going to find out.
Fluttershy and Rainbow were at 9 months and had their appointments today. I was competely stressed and I had gotten nowhere with my inventions as of late. I got up after putting all the little ones down for their nap. I went into the kitchen and opened the fridge to grab a cold beer.
"You know you're not supposed to have those in the afternoon." Tia's voice said.
"Yeah I know, but I just put all the kids down for a nap by myself. I think I deserve to destress." I said twisting the cap off.
"Fair enough, I just don't want the little ones getting into your alcohol." Tia said.
"I understand but it's times like these that I wish I had my friends living in equestria." I said.
"Your bandmates?"
"We were more than that, we were brothers. To say that we were friends was undercutting it."
"Could you say that your friendship was.....magic?" Tia said.
"That pun was bad and you should feel bad."
"You're right."
"But seriously, we weren't friends we were brothers. We were much closer than that." I sipped my beer.
"You obviously feel very strongly about this."
"You literally cannot repeat the bond we had. We could read each other's minds at some points." I said while finishing my beer.

While that was being said a certain god of chaos was listening in. "Hmm, I wonder....." He then smirked as he was twirling his goatee in his eagle claw. "They did have that quite chaotic mural on the side of the mountain." He then smirked and snapped his fingers.

Meanwhile on earth, Jackal was suffering through his tutoring lessons. It was hard to find someone that Jackal wouldn't bite if they came too close. They settled on a female tutor that could understand Jackal, even though he was off on feral tangents 50% of the time. She understood how he communicated, in fact it was how he was able to play drums so well. He heard the beat in things that not everyone could hear. Jackal listened to the forest and spent a lot of time in the woods he provided a beat to the sounds around him and his tutor picked up on that.
Luke was busy daydreaming, about a certain stallion that he hooked up with in Equestria. He had a stupid grin plastered on his face when ever he did daydream, no one would have ever know about it had Mickey not pointed it out. Bogeden smacked Luke on the head and gave him some water. "Fuck dude!" Luke yelled.
"You're not going to get over this if you keep on daydreaming about it." Bogeden pointed out in his thick Russian accent, then he sipped his beer.
"You and Mickey have a bad habit of drinking a lot before noon." Luke said.
"Shut up." Bogeden said. "Besides how do you know Mickey is drinking right now? He's in another dimension."
"Whenever my scar from when he smacked me with a pool cue starts itching I know he's doing something stupid." Luke said.
"I still don't get the correlation between that and Mickey personally."
"I learned not to question it." Luke said.
"Whatever." Bogeden leaned back in his chair. "I do miss him though."
"Mickey was responsible for 90% of the shit we got into. Why would you miss him?"
"Because those times were fun. The night we busted you out of jail with a monster truck? His idea."
"Okay that was fun." Luke said. "Still I can't help but miss him a bit."
"I wish there was some way to visit Equestria from time to time." Jackal said as his tutor left.
"That would be pretty handy, and think about it. He probably misses us too." Bogeden said.
"What if I said that I could help you with that?" A new voice added.
Bogeden went underneath the couch and pulled out a Spas-12 shotgun. "WHO SAID THAT?"
"Please relax." Discord appeared. "No need for violence."
Bogeden visibly relaxed and lowered the shotgun. "What are you doing here Discord? Shouldn't you be in Equestria?"
"Yes that is true, but our mutual friend has been feeling, how you say. Down in the dumps." The spirit of chaos explained.
"Who, Mickey?" Jackal asked while drinking some tea.
"Exactly my semi-feral friend. More importantly he misses you guys." Discord said.
"Well he did spend a lot of his life with us. It's not something that you could easily forget, especially all the crazy things we've done." Luke said.
"Yeah, but you said you could help us Discord." Bogeden asked. "I thought that we couldn't stay in equestria for long or else we would corrupt the balance of magic or something like that." He put the shotgun back under the couch.
"I may have stretched the truth on that little bit." Discord lamented. "While it is true that you could upset how Equestria evolves, technology wise. You could theoretically stay for a few days before having to come back to Earth, but I'd really rather not test that theory, I may be the spirit of chaos. But I don't want to destroy Equestria."
"So how long could we stay?" Luke asked.
"Safely? One, maybe Two days per month. Stretching it would be from three to five days." Discord explained.
"So one or two days in another dimension without any harmful consequences?" Jackal asked.
"But how come Mickey can stay?" Bogeden asked.
"Because he was injured and the hospital used equestrian magic to heal him." Discord explained. "If equestrian magic started to leak into a dimensional plane where no magic had been before, the results would be disastrous. For me, I can go wherever chaos is available which means almost anywhere, but this is a great place to recharge my batteries. The chaos here is like a charging station for me, I soak it up and leave benefitting everyone in the process."
"How is it beneficial?" Jackal asked.
"You guys haven't set off any nukes yet have you?" Discord said. "My point exactly, but I digress are you guys in or not?"
The group of looked at each other and then grinned evilly. "Let's raise some hell in Equestria." Jackal said.

I was sitting, rocking Popper back to sleep after he pooped himself awake from his nap. "There, there little buddy." I finally got him back to sleep and threw my shirt into the laundry as I helped Pinkie with it, I looked to my wife. "I still don't get how you're so good at the laundry."
"Well I'm a baker and with my crazy antics I've stained my clothes much too often than I'd like to admit. So I had to learn how to clean those clothes, a little apple vinegar and soap will do the trick." Pinkie said.
"You seem almost relatively normal right now Pinkie." I commented while helping her.
"It's the kids, I knew that Pound and Pumpkin cake were going to be tough but having my own just drained the energy right out of me." Pinkie said.
"Kids will do that, have you been eating any better?"
"Yup, doc said I should be back on a regular diet after in a week." Pinkie but the clothes in the washing machine and turned it on.
I took Pinkie and held her close, I kissed her. "I love you my pink party pony."
Pinkie kissed back. "I love you too honey bunny." We stayed like that until the door bell rang.
"I'll get it." I sighed, I walked to the door and opened it with my eyes closed. "Yes?"
"Surprise." I heard a thick Russian accent say and I opened my eyes to see my closest friends all standing in front of my doorstep. "Did you miss us?"
