Ohoho, that's not all!
When I went to look for them again, they were on the ceiling!
Oh Discord, I've never known anypony as funny as you!
I love that story about the time you tried
to train your right paw... to fetch your left leg!
Oh, I do love our Tuesday teas, and I can't wait
for you to meet my friend Tree Hugger!
She's going to love you too!
Tree Hugger?
I met her on a trip to see the Breezies.
She's a member of the Equestrian Society
for the Preservation of Rare Creatures!
How nice for you.
We're all gonna have so much fun together at the Grand Galloping Gala!
Oh, I was wondering when you were going to ask me! I'd love to.
Oh! Oh no. Um, I'm afraid I've already asked Tree Hugger...
I'm sorry, Discord!
I assumed you'd have your own tickets since
you and Princess Celestia are friends now.
Were you not invited?
Who, me?
It probably got lost in the mail.
No biggie', as the folks say.
Well, gotta go!
But we haven't had any of our Tuesday teacakes!
Well, I guess we're just going to have
to exclude them from our party this time.
Oh, did I say that out- I mean, ta-ta!
Gemstones... Gah!
Where's Twilight?
Um, she's in Canterlot, helping Princess Celestia with the Gala!
Oh, your first Grand Galloping Gala!
The excitement, the anticipation!
I wouldn't miss this for all the jewels in Equestria!
We're going to the Gala! We're going to the Gala!
Alright, y'all, keep it down.
It ain't like it's a life-changin' experience or nothiiiiiiii-
My little sister's all grown up!
Hey!
This is gonna be the best night ever!
I don't suppose that, uh, these adorable little cutie-pies
have their own tickets to the Gross Gruesome Gala, do they?
A-hem! To answer your rather rude question,
they're going as our dates, our plus ones!
We're plus ones!
Yes yes yes, I believe I got that!
Yeah!
Have a wonderful, special, fantastic day!
Oh hi, Discord! Want some cake?
I can give you a list of all the flavors
we have in order of most delicious to incredibly-unbelievably delicious!
Actually, Pinkie Pie, who are you taking to...
I mean, do you... eugh, oh, you know what?
I am famished. I'll take all the cakes.
All of them?! He wants all of the cakes!
Well, I'll need all my energy when I'm dancing at the Gala,
if I decide to go that is, oh by the way, are you bringing anypony?
Oh, of course!
I was gonna ask my mom, because she's, you know, my mom,
but it turned out she didn't want to go,
so I started asking around and around and around
and I couldn't think of anypony and I was about
to just go by myself and I realized, of course!
Who loves fancy exciting affairs more than anypony else?
My sister Maud!
You know what? Cancel my order.
You want none of the cakes now?!
Oh my, you are funny!
I guess everybeing in Equestria's funny today.
Oh, how rude of me.
Tree Hugger, this is Discord. Discord, Tree Hugger.
Radical to meet you.
Really digging your vibe.
My vibe?
It's a compliment.
Oh, well, I'm sure it is.
Well, I must be off.
It has nothing to do with seeing you or not seeing you.
You can rest assured of that.
Have fun at the Gala!
Righteous!
Oh, Tree Hugger. You're such a great friend.
So much funnier than unfunny old Discord!
No, no, here. Take my plus-one.
I insist.
Before somepony else thinks he's my friend
and expects to be asked instead.
What's that?
You're worried Discord might be upset?
Not a problem!
I can make more new friends anytime I want.
It's not as if any of this actually mattered!
I don't even want to go to the Gala anyway!
Are you perhaps looking for me?
Are you 'Discord or current resident'?
I can't find any street numbers in this place.
My ticket to the Grand Galloping Gala!
I was invited after all!
Why is this so late?
Well, I got a little lost after I escaped the flying banjos...
Can you point me in the direction of the bottomless pit?
I think I can make my way back from there.
Oh, over there. Somewhere. Just go over there.
Looks like I'll see you at the Gala after all, Fluttershy.
But I can't show up alone, she'll think that she's my only friend!
Who could I bring on such short notice?
I must say, it's very nice having you take over
some of the planning responsibilities for this year's Gala.
Anything I can do to make it easier on you.
Thank you, Twilight.
I'm quite looking forward to just enjoying the Gala for once.
Announcing the spirit of chaos, Discord, and his guest, the, uh...
The Smooze!
Good evening, everypony!
What a glorious affair!
He does have a yen for shiny things, the rascal.
I'll take care of this.
What are you doing here with... that?!
Now now now, the Smooze may be an 'it',
but it's an it with a heart of, well, glob.
This night is extremely important to me, Discord!
Keep 'it' under control!
Yes yes yes, of course.
Tell me, have you seen Fluttershy anywhere?
We're here! We're here!
We made it to the Gala!
Really?
The aura coming off the waterfall was so alive!
So, like, magic manifestation.
Wow.
Oh, Fluttershy. I didn't see you there.
How did you even know to look for an aura on a waterfall?
Discord! I thought you weren't coming!
No. I actually never said that.
But funny how you remembered it that way.
Anyway, good to see you.
Tree Friend, is it?
Your name's slipping my mind right now.
How strange. Your name's slipping my mind right now.
How strange.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Tree Hugger. Blessings.
You have met me before actually!
Cool! Like, in another life, maybe?
You've gotta be kidding.
You don't remember me?
I meet a lot of different creatures,
each one of them perfect and unique.
Yes, well, as I was saying,
it's just great to be here with my oldest, bestest friend.
Am I really your oldest, bestest friend?
You? Of course not!
You think I don't have other friends?
I'm centuries old!
I was talking about the Smooze!
Smoozeface, the Smoozinator-
well I mean that's what we called him back in college.
Smooze! I would like you to meet Fluttershy and...
umhmhm... Tree... how'd you say it... Tree Embrace?
Oh, I like that! It's so in rhythm with my life force!
Maybe I'll change it!
I can't believe I've never heard you speak of the Smooze before.
Sounds like you two are so close!
Well, I'm glad you got that, because that's what is true.
We are.
Very close.
That's wonderful!
The four of us should go out to dinner sometime!
We should all go out to dinner sometime?!
Have you no heart?
Oh, oh! It looks like somepony wants to mingle.
We'll be back in a bit.
Oh, okay.
Treezie and I would love to talk to you more later!
Treezie? Really?
Sort of a juvenile nickname, don't you think?
Smoozie! Wait up!
Now listen, Smooze.
I need to make this a party of one for a little while.
Just stay out here until I come for you.
What's so funny?
Exactly!
Uhh... I think we're gonna go hit the dance floor.
Fluttershy, tell the Hugs here about the time
that we went to the store and came back with two cakes instead of one,
because that's how crazy we are when we're together!
Um, we went to the store, and bought two cakes.
Oh. Well, you kind of left out all the fun and frivolity there,
but I'm sure you got it, Tree Hugger.
I got that you really like cake.
We like each other.
That was the point!
I'm actually pretty lukewarm about cake.
Let me in!
That creature took my jewels!
Discord! I thought I told you to keep your friend under control!
Oh please, I have better things to do
than to watch that thing all night.
Oh, I mean to say is, that thing is a dear dear friend,
and I'll make sure that the ooze t-t-that
he can't help but secrete doesn't get on anypony else.
Thank you.
It's alright, everypony.
Let's just get back to enjoying this magical evening!
You are making me look like a fool in front of Fluttershy.
I'll be back when the Gala is over.
Oh Tree Hugger, I've never known anypony as funny as you!
Check check, check! Is this thing on?
Good evening, fillies and germs!
I just flew into Canterlot, and wow, are my interspecies parts tired!
I've only got these tiny mis-matched wings,
and even I can fly better than Twilight Sparkle!
Am I right? Pchoo!
Hey!
Uh, well, perhaps you're into more observational humor.
Did you ever notice how you always materialize out of thin air?
Why not thick air? What's the deal there?
Tough crowd.
What is he doing?!
I think they're... jokes?
Maud! Jokes!
My favorite.
...an ordinary night on the town ends in a lesson about friendship!
Knock knock!
You're supposed to say 'Who's there?'!
This is the most basic of jokes!
You're the most basic of jokes.
Good one, Maud!
What is that?!
None of my magic works on this ooze!
Can you stop it?
I'm afraid not!
Discord, how could you bring him here?!
Oh, he's not that bad!
Oh, my shoes will be ruined forever!
That's what you're worried about? Really?
This is kind of a bummer.
Isn't it, though?
And to think, it would never have happened
had I come to the Gala as somepony else's plus one.
Seems like something must have harshed his flow, you know?
Like his senses are agitated.
You don't know anything about rare creatures.
I've known Smooze-face for ages.
He's not agitated, he's partying down, yo!
All he needs is some, like, calming auditory therapy.
I know, I always feel really at peace
when I'm being bathed in positive vibes.
Maybe he'll calm down with some sonic bliss!
Do you even know what you just said?
Let go, Smooze! Bliss out!
It worked!
Way to go, Tree Hugger!
That was the most magical thing I've ever seen done with animals!
Oh, thanks, everypony,
it makes perfect karmic sense why magic doesn't work on him,
he only responds to vibrations that peace out his energy fields.
Stop it! Stop it!
That's it!
I'm done with you, Tree Hugger!
Oh man.
You're really bumming me out!
Can you just, like, lower your voice a skosh?
A skosh? A skosh?!
Whoa, dude, what is that?!
Relax! I'm not going to hurt you,
I'm simply going to send you to another dimension!
I can't have you interfering in my relationship with Fluttershy anymore!
Discord, stop!
I will, just as soon as she's gone!
Then we can have a good laugh
about this whole affair over our regular Tuesday tea.
Don't worry, Fluttershy! We'll stop him!
I'm doing her a favor, Fluttershy!
It's a lovely dimension!
White sand beaches, attentive wait staff...
I mean okay, the humidity isn't great,
but where isn't that the case these days?
I don't understand why you're doing this!
We were all getting along so well!
As well as we could, considering you've already stomped
all over our friendship by inviting her to the biggest night of the year,
as if I didn't matter at all!
Did you really think I'd abandon you
ust because I have a new friend?!
Yes, because that's what you did!
No, Discord! I invited a friend to a party!
I didn't abandon you!
What if you had a friend that you could discuss chaos-based magic with?
Would that mean we weren't friends anymore?!
Uh, no, I suppose not...
it would just mean that
I'd have different friends for different things...
Oh, oh dear, it looks like I've perhaps overreacted just a skosh.
More like a lot of skoshes!
Tree Hugger, could you give us a minute?
I'm just so new with this whole friendship thing.
It's so much more complicated than it looks.
Do you think maybe you owe somepony an apology?
Not me!
Oh! Oh.
Yes, right.
Er, Tree Hugger, I'm sorry that you got caught in the middle of my...
er, you know... wrath.
Oh, it's all groovy.
Um, I need like a few minutes to clear out my chakras
before I can hug you from a place of authenticity.
Oh, your chakras. Fair enough.
I owe you an apology, Smooze.
I spent the whole evening thinking about my own feelings,
and never thinking about yours.
Well, friends!
I think I may actually grow to like this multiple friend thing.
I like it too.
Hey!
It's not a party until somepony spreads
magic-resistant ooze uncontrollably over the ballroom!
Come on, Smoozinator!
Let's dance!
I'm sorry, Princess Celestia.
I thought I could give you a break tonight,
but it turns out I was in over my head.
You have nothing to apologize for.
This has been the most fun Gala in years!
I know, it was a- what?! But there was ooze all over the place!
And one of the guests threatened to send somepony to another dimension!
I know!
Can you imagine how dull it would have been if I hadn't invited Discord?
Come on, aho! The night is still young!
