AN: Bonus Chapter because it's a non-canon joke chapter.

POV Rio
I was working on some prototypes when suddenly I started hearing ominous music. I stop what I am doing and use my Hoshigan to look around, but I see nothing out of the ordinary.
(AN: Play Team Fortress 2 Soundtrack | Right Behind You on YouTube for the music. There are no lyrics, so don't worry. )
"Where the heck is that music coming from?" I ask aloud.
I start walking around to see if I can find the source of the music, and as the music starts to pick up, I start getting nervous and a tinsy bit scared. I felt like somebody was following me, but I knew that wasn't the case.
"Sounds like somebody.... Wants to SELL ME SOMETHING!" I scream as I look behind me and see nothing.
Gulp
POV Cait
"I told you he was on to us!" I complain to Loona in a whisper.
"It's not our fault its that stupid ominous music! When I get my hands on the person responsible, I will break their legs," Loona complains in an equally annoyed whisper.
As we were complaining to each other we didn't notice someone coming from right behind us.
"What are you talking about?" Rio asks.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" We both scream, which causes Rio to scream, and both Loona and I blindly attack Rio. Of course, that fails miserably as he is more than capable of blocking or evading our attacks.
However, it was during this screaming that we noticed a 4th voice that we didn't recognise. Which caused our screams to taper off as we looked at the stranger. It was a man in a blue suit with a blue balaclava covering his head. When the stranger realised we stopped screaming, he stopped as well. Then we all just stared at each other.
Everything suddenly changed when Rio coughed, which caused us to break the stare-down. When we looked back, the man was gone or at least changed, as now a man in a red, blue, and black suit replaced him. He looked shocked and pointed at us, and it was at this point that we saw another red arm point at him and us. It came from where Rio was just standing. And as we were distracted by that another two appeared and started pointing at the other nearly identical men in suits.

Loona and I were completely dumbfounded and befuddled. But at least the music stopped. That did solve the incredibly bizarre situation we now found ourselves in. I looked at Loona and started to back away. Once we got away, we didn't wait around and started making a run for it.
"What the hell just happened?" Loona asks with an indescribable tone.
"I don't know," I reply
"Why are we running?" Rio asks.
"To get away from... Wait a minute..." I look to my left and see Rio running with us, holding a cup of tea. He looked completely calm.
"What the..." Loona comments.
"What?" Rio asks with a tone that makes me feel like he legitimately doesn't know.
As I went to explain and even ask some questions, we reached the Vault exit. It was that distraction that caused me to lose track of Rio again. My eye twitched, and I opened my mouth to curse.
POV Rio
"Hehehehe, ahhh, that was fun. Thanks, guys, for the help," I said to the various Changelings who were helping me mess with Cait.
I got various happy chirps and clicks in response. And I smiled, but then I froze and decided to ask something that I was curious about.
"Who was the musician? I thought it was from the Vault intercomm, but from what I can tell, it wasn't," I ask.
They all look confused and look to eachother but no one seems to have an answer. My eyes slowly widen, my smile slowly drops, and I stop feeling so jovial.
"Party!" I hear in the distance, and I go deathly pale.
'Uh, oh!'
I run over and pull out a piece of paper made for emergencies just like this.

"Everyone evacuate the premises, this is not a drill, I repeat, this is not a drill!" I yell and start making a run for it.
I don't make it far before I hear a sound that sends a chill down my spine.
Rumble
A doorknob shakes, and I hear the voice of the monster. I pull out an arsenal of weapons, holding most in my magic and getting ready to fight.
"If I die, tell Cadance I love her," I say to one of the nearby Changelings.
They nod, but suddenly the lights flicker, and all of them are gone. Then I hear a giggling from behind and turn around and shoot. But nothing is there. I was sweating like a pig at this point.
"I need an adult," I comment.
"I am an adult," says a high-pitched voice from behind me.
My eyes bulge, and before I can turn around, the monster has me and my weapons disappear. I started kicking and screaming to try to get away, but the strength of the monster was impossible to get past. I was slowly dragged across the floor by my tail and towards the now open door.
"AHHHHHHH, HELP ME! HELP!!!!!" I scream.
"Party!" the monster responds with a giggle.
My nails dig into the floor, and the clean massive gashes through the hardened steel. Which in itself should have been impossible, as this was a Vault I had control over, making it indestructible. Then again, none of this situation made any sense. Despite my efforst we were nearly at the doorway. But then I recalled the wise words of a great sage. Modern problems require modern solutions. So I used my best power I could think of. But as I went to activate it, Seto Kaiba of all people appeared and spoke.
"You just activated my trap card!" Seto says with a smug smile.
It was enough of a distraction that I reached the door and was swallowed by it. My vision went white, and I started hearing hooves hitting gravel. Then I felt like my hands were bound in something. Then my vision cleared, and I saw I was in a cart with several other people.
'Really?'
"Hey, you, you're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there," a man in blue light armour says to me.
I give the loudest exhausted sigh of my life. And then promptly jump out of the moving cart headfirst. But instead of a death by concussion, I land on something soft. When I look up, I see darkness, which is promptly banished with the flick of a light.
"SURPRISE!!!!!!" shouts a massive crowd.
I look around and see a crowd of various people, some I recognise and others I haven't seen before. I also look up to see a massive banner reading: 'Happy Birthday Rio!!!!' I gave a polite smile and then went to politely leave without anyone noticing. That wasn't going to happen as Pinkie Pie threw this party, and with her... everything escaping her is impossible. So I just gave up.
"Who's ready to get this party started!" Pinkie Pie asks.
"Yeah!!!!" Screams the crowd.
"So how's the party?" asks Deadpool.
I look at him and question my life.
"Kill me," I state honestly.
"Hahahahaha, ah, Rio, you're such a kidder," Pinkie Pie says as she suddenly appears near me.

Record screeching sound
"AH AH AH! You didn't think you could escape that easily, did you?" Deadpool asks... wait, what?
"Forget all that proper grammar, and get over here!"
I make a run for the door.
The door was replaced by a washing machine, so I went for the window. But that was painted on somehow.
"You'll never take me alive, coppers!" I scream and open the painted on window anyway.
"We got a runner!"

Well, since the author is now a wanted criminal (Dead or Alive: Reward 100k monopoly bucks), I shall take over writing this story. Which is about time, this story has been far too logical. Where's the fun in making sense? The story shall now be called Discord Rules, Celestia Drools. No wait, the Fair Prince of Chaos! No, No, wait! My Little Discord: Fiendship Is Magic... What do you mean that's copyrighted? Who the heck copyrighted that?!
