Discord checked his Chaos 'bucket' to see if he had enough magic to do what he had planned. It was his only shot for a long while and, if done correctly, would refill it quickly. He checked his 'bucket' one more time, unsure of himself (strangely). He checked on his targets to see if they had been expecting anything out of the ordinary, aside from the fact that they are ponies. Content that they had no idea what was about to happen to them, he cast his spell, and waited patiently for his 'guests' to arrive. They wouldn't want to keep the spirit of Chaos and Disharmony waiting; it wouldn't be good for them.

The Apartment

"That was a fun night." David said, concluding the story he reminded Rob of, back on Earth.

Rob chuckled and looked at his friend. "Yeah, that was pretty crazy," Rob agreed. He was about to ask about the part when the cop saw a chicken in his cruiser when he felt a strange light headedness. "Uh, David? I'm not feelin' to hot..." Rob said, dizziness now setting in. David didn't look too good either (well, sight wasn't too up-to-par right now).

"Uh, no, I'm not feeling goo..." Was all David had to say before passing out. Not that Rob would have noticed; he was out when David said 'no'.

The Void... Again

David was... well, he didn't know. He was fine; no injuries, but something felt... off. He couldn't put his hoof on it though. He felt lighter, not hungry or sleepy, and emotions were good because he had a date with Twilight tonight. Other than that, something was nagging him. But what was it? He noticed that his eyes were closed and his memory of today a little foggy, so he did what any rational being would do: open his eyes. And what greeted him was... nothing. Blank, white, endless expanse. Forever. And ever.

Thinking that now would be a good time not to panic; he stood up and looked around. Rob was right next to him, talking in his sleep a little bit. Fearful of what might escape his friends’ inner workings, he quickly woke him up with a swift kick in the ass. "Snuuu, uh, wha, where am I?" Rob said, startled from his sleep. He looked about and the frown on his face grew deeper. "David, where is this and how did we get here?" Rob asked a bit more clear of his surroundings now.

"Nice of you to join us. And I don't know. We should figure out where we are though. If I didn't know better, or have read all those fan fics, I would say this is-"

"The Void, home of Discord, the spirit of Chaos and Disharmony, you are correct my human friend!" Discord shouted happily, now that his plan was one step closer to completion. Rob jumped and backed away from the sudden appearance of the dragon-bear-what-the-hell-ever thing. "Given the look on your face, you must be wondering who I am. Well, if you think back two seconds ago, you might recall that I am Discord. Now, if I could talk to you fine gentelcolts for a moment, I'm sure we can figure a way out of both our current predicaments." Discord said, slowing himself down forcibly, so as not to blow his chance.

David looked at Discord carefully. He knew exactly what he was capable of, and knew they were at his mercy in here... where ever 'here' was. "We might have a moment to spare, what do you want to talk about?" David asked, interested yet fearful of the god.

"Uh, not ta interrupt but, what in the Sam hell is goin' on here?" Rob asked, looking from Discord to David and back again.

Discord smiled with his single tooth sticking out and leveled his mismatched eyes with Rob. "I am glad you asked! As you know, you don't belong in this universe; in fact, you don't belong to the souls you currently inhabit. You have your own bodies, your own souls to be concerned over, but where are they? Listen and I will explain everything." Discord said, spawning a pink cloud and lounging in it as he began his speech. "A few weeks ago, three, right? You woke up in these strange bodies and strange world. With no idea what was going on, you assumed false identities and headed to town to see if you could find a way back. After befriending some of the townsfolk, you helped defeat Nightmare Moon, good job by the way, and then enlisted Princess Celestias' help to get you back home. Also you developed relationships with certain someponies, you cruel creatures you." Discord finished with a slight snarl and turned his back to the two shocked and confused humans.

David was the first to speak up, "Uh, first off, what the hell, how do you know all that?!" David yelled.

Discord peeked over his shoulder to see witch human spoke up. Noticing it was the white pegasus, he allowed him a response, while still facing away. "Well, I am the spirit of Chaos and Disharmony; I do have some awesome powers. And second, well, we can get to that later. Next question." Discord said with a wave of his paw.

David was slightly confused again and decided to move on with his line of questions. "Uh, ok. And how are we cruel, we haven't harmed anypony." David asked.

Discord spun around to look at the human/pegasus like he was stupid. "You haven't harmed anypony, YET. What was your plan when you were able to go home, hmm? What would you have done, just lie through your teeth some more and break their hearts? Go home to your universe without a care in the world, while these two sit here and suffer in heartache and pain?" Discord asked, honestly shocked at how naive this creature was. David looked baffled and saddened at this point. It was 100% true, when they left, they would crush Twilight and Applejack.

Now Rob decided to talk. "And what about you? Ya don't look like a romantic kinda guy... thing. Why do ya care what happens ta the ponies?" Rob asked, kicking himself for sounding so cruel. "Uh, wait, lemme re-word that." Rob said before Discord cut him off.

"Oh, I know what you mean. You have no need to worry, Spirit of Valor. I know that you have no hard feelings to those you care about." Rob and David looked at Discord in confusion.

"Who is Spirit of Valor?" Rob asked, well past confusion at this point.

Discord blinked before continuing. 'Well, well, well. They don't know yet.' Discord thought. "Hmm? Oh, it's nothing. You just remind me of somepony I used to know. But let me get to the good part: the deal." Discord looked between the two humans, and they looked right back. "No questions? Good. Well, here it is. Neither of you can use magic and therefor at completely at my mercy. I have been trapped in this beautiful expanse of white for close to a few hundred years now. I say, we can help each other out. I let you go and in exchange, you two cause chaos and let me free. Once free, I will have all my power back and be able to send you home. So, sound good to you?" Discord asked, looking from one to the other.

David was the first to answer, "Hell no. I don't trust you at all. And I won't betray Twilight or Celestia."

Rob spoke up too, "I don't know who ya are or what ya did, but if you can send us home..."

David cut his friend off. "What are you saying? That you’re going to just give up? Just like that?"

"No, but think about what's best fer Twilight an' Applejack. Maybe if we don't pain them with goodbyes, don't explain ourselves, they could just... move on, ya know?"

"I see you need a moment to debate the situation. I'll be back once you've made up your minds." Discord said, snapping his fingers and disappearing.

David stared long and hard at his friend. "You and I both know that isn't an option. Discord might be right, we may have really screwed up here, but when you make a bad decision, you live with it. You don't run from it." David said slowly, his voice dripping with disappointment.

"But I... I just... it's..." Rob sighed, "You're right. Ya always are." Rob said, hanging his head in disappointment and defeat. "But, we can finally go home. Home, David. Ta our families, our friends, our LIVES." Rob said. "How can we pass this up?" Rob asked, looking at his friend.

David calmed down and looked at his friend with a look of determination. "I'm sorry, but we can't trust him. All he's going to do is use us to escape. He won't actually send us home. He doesn’t care about anything but himself and defeating Celestia and the Elements." David said.

Rob thought about what could happen if they did actually free him. In light of this new information, he saw how stupid it would be to take the word of a god of chaos. "Well, shit." Rob said after a moment. "What do we do then?" Rob looked at David.

David thought for a second before answering. "We stick to the plan. Celestia said it would be hard for her to find and preform the spell, not impossible."

Discord appeared once more; growing bored not talking to somebody and spawned a yellow cloud to lie on. 'I know I'm the spirit of Chaos, but the cloud doesn’t always have to be pink.' He thought to himself. "So, have we agreed upon an answer?" Discord already knew the answer; he went invisible, not away.

David looked at him with a new fire in his eyes. "No, we will not help you." David said, resolve in his voice.

"Very well, portal's over there." Discord said with a wave of his paw. That caught David and Rob off guard.

"So... we're free to go? Just like that?" David asked, still unsure of the change of events.

Discord gave him another 'are you stupid' look. "Well, it’s obvious that I can't persuade you to help me, so what's the point? Go; leave me, its nice having some peace and quiet every now and again." Discord said, growing cross with the human. After what felt like several minutes of waiting, he thought they had left. He opened his eyes to find the two human/ponies still looking at the portal, unsure of Discord's word. "Oh, for the love of Chaos, just go already!" Discord yelled.

The two jumped, looked at each other, and headed through the portal at the same time. "About time! Not that this was a huge waste." Discord said to nopony in particular; and he was right. No matter if they said yes or no, Celestia would be concerned that he could transport them whenever he wanted. Chaos would be close behind them, no matter what they did.

The Apartment

David felt hungry. Glad they aren't in the Void anymore, David looked around to find themselves in the living room again. 'Well, that was different.' David thought standing up on weak legs and heading for the kitchen. 'I feel like I could eat a horse.' David thought, then facehoofed at the realization of what he thought. After making and consuming several sandwiches, Rob began to stir from his transport-induced slumber.

"Ugghhh... where are we now...?" Rob asked, looking around.

"We're back in the apartment, retard." David said, slightly disappointed in his friends lack of composure. As Rob continued to regain conciseness, David looked out the window to see how much time had passed. It was around noon when they left; the sun was almost about to set now. "Shit! I got to get ready! I need to head over to Twilight's to get her for dinner!"
