"Not much, actually. I know that it's owned by the princess's, at least to my knowledge, and I have the exterior memorized, having come here a lot when I was young. It's somehow always remained perfectly groomed, never really changing, staying nostalgically the same." Balance saw Nemesis fly off. "See ya' Nem! Now, where was I... Oh, yes. I also know of some large history behind it, I heard some creature was trapped in it. But that's just some old legends, unless Discord did something to this maze, I doubt we'll see anything other than ourselves. I mean, if it were true, it would have left by now."

YES! Baldumborat is best Derpy voice. Why are these 'licious' video's so addictive?!

Sounds like us in court. Not sure if I should be offended by that. "Alright Fire. Everypony will stay together, and won't leave unless we come with them. If we see something out of the ordinary, we'll decide as a group whether it's Discord, or if it's possibly something leading to his gear. Let's move out!" Balance moved to the entrance of the maze, waiting for everypony.

He took Cotton's hoof, and gave her a weak hoofshake. "Sure! Why not?" Balance accepted Cotton's offer to try her cotton candy. He turned to Quillsilver. "I shall see you tomorrow then. Have a good day!" Balance made sure he had his book, and turned back to Cotton. "So, which way should we go?" Man, I'm getting hungry just thinking about cotton candy! Something we agree on; it's been about 3 days since our last sugary treat. 3 whole days?! Balance's stomach growled at his thoughts. He snapped back to reality, remembering that he was staring off into space, and wasn't sure if he missed the answer. He waited another few moments, in case he didn't hear the answer.

Yeah! How can you not like cupcakes with a dash of rainbow, and a hint of magic! I bet there's even some marshmallows in them! And I agree, there should be more RP's like that. It's always fun to make it up as you go.

We have a warning from an alicorn not to go in. It's best if we stay out. Wait... If it's so dangerous that a powerful pony doesn't want to go in, perhaps there is something special in there... I don't think the risk is worth a chance. Screw that, we need to find SOMETHING to defeat Discord. "Sorry Fire, but I think the risk is worth the reward. If we can find this gear in there, defeating Discord becomes at least 20% easier. If you don't want to enter with us, I'm sure Nemsis can download some map of this maze to help us."

Discordlicious was pretty awesome But I still prefer Pinkielicious, mainly because of... Well everything. Even the description, I couldn't stop laughing

"Who's- Oh, hello Fireheart." Balance reacted after hearing Fireheart. "If my interrogation was correct, the gear has some relation with Canterlot, and Discord was hear a thousand years. It's likely there's a hint to this special gear of Discord's somewhere in this area." A lightbulb glew over his head, when he realized something. "You were hear during the first fight with Discord, right? Do you know the way through this maze? 'Cause that would be really helpful."

Balance looked around at the familiar area. He often went to the royal gardens when he was young, loving the architecture, and always wanting to enter the maze. There was only one statue he noticed was missing. It was his favorite one there as well. He felt bad for liking the statue of Discord. He went back into thought about not being cursed in any way. Amber's right. It's just one time. No, it wasn't one time. Remember, when we first saw the results of Discord's magic? You mean, back in court? Yes. Remember? Everypony there was cursed in some weird way. Except us! The only thing that happened to us was our clothes turned pink. And eventually started shrinking. Probably another coincidence. If it happens again, I'll believe that we are somehow resistant to chaotic magic. "Alright everypony, we need to find clues to finding Discord's gear. I came here, since the gear is in some way related to Canterlot, and since Discord was here for a thousand years, I thought this would be a good place to investigate. I was thinking the maze, though it may take time to search there."

Screw the rules, we're number 1! In other words, I don't really care if we move to 18+.

Balance decided to read through Silver's manuscript first, and perhaps stay to read The Potter and the Philosiponies Stone. He was instantly trapped in Silver's story, reading every word carefully, and getting excited during the good parts. He was disappointed when he realized that she hadn't finished the next part, still wanting to continue reading through it. We should give this back for now then. Right... But we're coming back for the rest of it. Balance walked up to the counter, where he realized a new pony had entered. He must have been too interested in the book to hear the bell ring. He decided to return the manuscript before introducing himself to the new pony. "Thank you for the excellent read, Ms. Silver. I can't really think of anything to improve this... Except by finishing it, of course. I will definitely be returning once it's updated." He gave her a quick bow, and turned to the new pony. "Hello there miss! I am Balance Scales." He saw the book she was buying. "The Art of Candy Making. So, you're a candy maker, eh? Tell me, is there a place where I can, perhaps, try some of your sweets?" He gave his charming grin again. Are you really hitting on her? No, I just like my grin. And when ponies are left speechless because of it. ... That happened once... And I'd like to have it happen again!

NOOOOOOO! We have 2 against 2, we can't use majority rules like this! SOMEPONY ELSE VOTE YES!

DO IT! THE MAJORITY DEMANDS THAT IT BE DONE! And... I can haz cupcakes :3

Wow! Awesome fanfic! I still can't believe how funny the way they got into Equestria was XD Keep up the awesome work man!

"I'll keep that in mind. Thanks Vinny!" Thyme said excitedly, though she put most of it at the back of her mind, so she wouldn't freak her out. "It's cool if I call you that, right?" It was the first time she asked a pony if she could use their random nickname.

Thyme burst into laughter again when Clear came, and laughed even harder at Vinyl's reaction to her 'Bass Drop'. She believed he said something, but he was talking too fast for her. The only thing she got was how good the cupcakes were. "Can NOPONY withstand anything here? Please tell me I don't act like this every day." She finished laughing. "I gotta' agree, these cupcakes are AWESOME!" She took another bite out of hers. She saw how many of the snacks were missing. "So, exactly how many did you eat, Clear?"

"Got it." Pawn walked carefully over to the elevator. They started going up, which made Pawn happy. "It seems this place isn't as deep as we thought. Perhaps now we'll be heading to the entrance of this building." That thought went quickly to rest, when the elevator opened up into another test chamber. "... Horse apples."

"Nemesis! Amber!" Balance grabbed them both when Strife came into view. The necklace glew brighter. "Hey doc..." He gave a quick friendly wink. "We'll give Discord a check-up later then, 'kay?" The light from the necklace spread around the group, and disappeared in a flash. They woke up in an area, that didn't seem to have been taken over by Discord. Balance looked around and remembered where he teleported to. "Welcome to the Canterlot Royal Gardens!"

"Sorry Doc, but we aren't ready to fight Discord yet. Or at least I'm not." The teleporting necklace he was wearing started glowing. "You can come with us if you want, but we're not going with you quite yet. Me and Amber need more power before going for him."

(Potey's gone, he's at Discord's temple)

Balance watched in awe as the lightning storm happened. He couldn't believe the godly powers he was seeing, and he was happy to see Potey disappear. Then, he had a realization of something. He looked at his whole body, and became confused. ​That's odd. I was struck by chaotic magic, yet I seem completely fine. Shouldn't something have happened to me, like Amber? He walked up to Amber. "Hey Amber, is there something odd looking about me? I was struck by chaos magic, yet I generally look fine, next to a burned flank. Oh, and we'll be going in a minute."

Have fun at your picnic! And WOOOOOT! We're almost #1!

Cloud is considered the medic-pony, right? Just making sure.
