Located in the Chaos dimension, in a little odd house standing in a floating mini island, two creatures were having a little tea party, well. . . technically there was only one creature since they were the same being. They were. . .Discords, to be more précised, two Discords from different dimensions, for everypony, this would be strange but not for a creature who can open the rift between dimensions and cross them.

It was a matter of time for some Discords to found each other and these particular two had so much in common, not for the fact they were technically the same but also their Equestrias shared something not many had, a human!

“Hohohoho, I must say my friend, this tea is fabulous! But I wouldn’t mind some chocolate milk.”

“I knew you were going to say that, how you do it!  it’s like if you were me. . . Oh! You are me!”

“But much handsome!”

“You wish!”

Both of them laughed so hard, it was nice to have found such a good friend, considering both of them were very lonely since one of them was still sealed in stone in his world and was only a mere spectral projection and the other one had his only cute pegasus friend very busy living her life together her coltfriend.

“But to think they finally started to live together, now more than ever I have to keep an eye on those two, no matter how much I keep telling him to not do it, the sounds I hear in their room at night tells me everything I need to know, I must say it impress me how loud a pony like Fluttershy can yell sometimes but. . .  Ohhhh, Fluttershy is still too young to be a mother!”

“Easy my dear fellow, I think you are overeacting, remember he is a human, that can’t happen.”

Discord rolled his eyes and answered, “It’s easy for you to say that, you are not friends with your Fluttershy! But I do cherise mine!”

“Oh!. . . well at least you will have a cute nephew or niece.”

“That’s not the problem!”

“I know, anyway, I must say your human is very interesting, who would say he managed to get his life in order after everything that happened to him.”

“Yes, even when I’m still a little mad at him for what he did to Fluttershy but he forgave me for the Tirek’s incident so we are even, I must admit he is kinda impressive.”

“He is, but mine is way more amazing! For what I heard from my Stone prison and all those glances I watch with the few power I have left, I must say he is unstoppable with all those abilities he has.”

“Puff, it’s easy to be amazing when a bunch of dragons give you all those “abilities” he cheats!”

“Yeah! And having a pendant who turns you into a powerfull unicorn and gives you magic is not cheating at all.”

“Ok ok, look, I’m really not looking for a fight here, besides, we both know who of our humans is the best, it’s pretty obvious if you ask me.”

“Yeah, you are right, why fight when we both know that answer.”

Both Discords shared another laugh and answered at the same time.

“Mine!”

Both Discords eye’s widened and looked at each other with narrowed eyes. After that, they started to scream.

“My human have wings!”

“Mine is not affected by darkness stone while he is a unicorn!”

“Mine defeated two princes!”

“Mine defeated one and killed one!”

After some silly screams and dummy spells, the house was a mess and both were gasping and tired.

“ha. . . ha. . .why are we so stubborn about our humans. . . I’m not exactly his friend and you don’t even talked to yours once”

“I know. . .maybe it’s just because we both hate losing”

“I agree, even so, I think we have a problem here, to be honest, I can’t say which of our humans is the best, we would need some kind of test. .  .to know for sure”

At that moment, the other Discord literally had a light bulb shinning on his head.

“That’s it! That’s it!”

“Uh? what is?”

“Oh C’mon! you are me, don’t you realize what I’m thinking right now?”

“Hmmm, well. . . I just said we would need a test to see which is the be. . . ohhhhhh”

Both Discords shared an evil yet innocent laugh.

Right in that moment, two particular humans in their respective homes felt a shiver around their bodies.

“What the hell was that?” Both said and looked at the sky.

(Alex’s Equestria)

Alex felt that strange shiver, he was eating a nice breakfast with his cute marefriend who seemed worried for looking at him so surprised.

“Alex, are you alright?” Fluttershy asked

“Uh? Oh yes yes, I’m fine, I just had a little feeling that’s all, nothing to get worried, more importantly, in 3 days is your birthday and I still couldn’t find the perfect gift for you”

“Oh Alex, I already told you, you don’t need to give me anything, having you in my life is the best gift ever”

Alex blushed hard, damn! His marefriend was damn cute, he stood up and hugged her from behind while nuzzling his cheek with hers.

“Thanks Fluttershy but still I think my marefriend deserves an incredible present for her birthday, I promise I will find the best you can ask for, even if it takes me these three whole days and nights!”

Alex said that and after giving her a kiss in her forehead and lips, he grabed his pocket full of bits and started his journey to find the perfect gift for the perfect marefriend.

(Daniel’s Equestria)

Daniel and Spike were returning from their training, the travel to the Dragon’s Kingdome was close after all, they were tired and needed a good Lunch.

“Wow Spike, really! how much energy you have, again you left me in the dust.”

“Hahahaha, C’mon Daniel, don’t be so modest. . . nah! I did it didn’t I?”

Daniel chuckled. “Ok. . . now we need to work in some humility classes”

“I’m kidding Daniel. By the way, what happened to you there, suddenly to stopped for a few seconds?”

The samurai warrior scratched his head. “I'm not sure. . . .I just felt. . .a cold feeling, that’s all, surely it was nothing.”

Spike shrugged. “I hope so, anyway, let’s head home to eat something.”

Spike nodded and both continued their way, minutes later,  they found Pinkie Pie carrying tons of party supplies.

“Hey Pinkie Pie!”

“Hi Danny! Spike! How are you?”

“We are fine, we just finished our training session, how about you? Planning a party for somepony new?”

“Yeah!”

“And who is it?”

“I don’t know! I just feel this morning that I will meet someone interesting. . . I think it will be a pony. . . I’m not entirely sure.”

“I see, well, I hope it’s someone nice.”

“I’m sure he or she will, see you later! I need to prepare the party!” She hops away while humming a tune.

Both Daniel and Spike nodded and also continued their way to Twilight’s house wondering who might be the new pony.

(Alex’s Equestria)

It had been hours since Alex left the cottage in his journey and got nothing, he even tried in Canterlot, he just couldn’t find the perfect present, A dress? Rarity had that covered, a pet?. . .she was the pet’s adoption owner, Flowers? For them that’s food, gems? He had tons for his job with Rarity but all of them were so common!

Alex was frustrated, no pony could help him to find a good present, he was even thinking in asking the crussaders. . . nah! he wasn’t that desperate. . .right? Maybe he could try Cloudsdale. . . lost in his thoughts, he found himself wandering in the forest, he didn’t care actually, his problems were big enough already.

“Damn! What am I going to do? Is there anything in this world good enough for the most perfect Pegasus that ever existed?”

“hahahahahahaha, the answer for that question is. . .no!”

Alex heard that voice and narrowed his eyes.

“Oh no. . . please no . . . Discord?”

The dracoenous appeared in front of Alex in a blink of an eye.

“The one and only. . .at least in this world”

“uh?”

“Never mind, tell me my dear human, any trouble your dracoenous friend can help you with?”

“ahhhhhhh, no! I’m fine!”

“Hohohohohohoho, I don’t need to be Applejack to know you are lying, c’mon, I thought we were friends.” Discord said that with puppy eyes, Alex never thought he would find someone who would scare him to death by showing those eyes.

“Discord. . .we both know you don’t like me very much” He deplaned.

The god of Chaos chuckled. “True so true but still, Fluttershy asked me to be nice with you and give you a chance so I’m willing to try, besides, it’s not like I don’t like you, at least I like you more than the Elements.”

“. . . .thanks?”

“You are welcome, now. . . will you tell me what troubles you now?”

“(sigh) I think you already know.”

“I do! And I must say you indeed are in a big trouble, there is no gift good enough in this world for her.”

Alex looked at the floor disappointed.

“Except for this!”

Discord snapped his finger and suddenly an amazing multicolored diamond appeared in his pawn.

“. . . .wow! Discord. . .where you got that! I never saw a diamond like that!”

“It’s because there is no diamonds like this one, it’s one in its kind”

“Amazing! You got a nice present for her, good for you.”

“ohh this? Nonononononono, I’m not planning to give this to her, I already got a couple of nice blue tucans from SaddleSarabia but I think it would be a waste to throw this and seeing you were looking for a nice gift for her so I thought. . . why not giving it to my good friend Alex. . .now take it!”

Alex stood there, in front of Discord, he didn’t move an inch.

“What is it? take it!”

“What’s the catch Discord?” the young assassin questioned.

“Oh. . . I’m insulted! How could you possible think I. . .”

Alex looked at Discord with a death glare, while crossing his arms.

“Ok Ok! I need a tinsy little favor from you and this diamond is yours. . . what you say?”

“. . . . . what kind of favor?”

“I. . . need you to help me to win a little bet.”

“Will you give me more details?”

“Not before you accept.”

“. . .will it hurt?”

“Probably. . . maybe a lot to be honest.”

“Is there any other way to get that diamond?”

“Nope!”

“At least it will be fun?”

“I can assure you we both will have tons of fun. . .what you say? Deal?” Discord extended his pawn for a shake, Alex thought it for several seconds, he hated being cornered, in his heart he knew he had no choice, the diamond was really impressive and to be honest, what Discord had planned could be interesting, he grabbed Discord’s pawn and made the deal. Discord smiled evilly, that wasn’t a good signal.

“Be prepared for an incredible adventure my boy!”

“Uh?”

Discord then used his bird claw to cut the air and open a portal, Alex didn’t have time to do anything for the Dracoenous pulled him inside in a flash.

“Discord. . . what kind of bet you made?. . .what do I need to do?”

“Oh, it’s nothing hard. . . I just need you to kick another human’s butt for me.”

...Blink.

...Blink blink.

...Blink.

“Say what again?”
