//------------------------------// // 3. Twilight Time // Story: Facing My Past // by PrincessDiscord //------------------------------// Screwball was having lots of fun. She was free now, she could make chaos wherever she went. A baseball tree here, a Discord statue there. It was a blast, and a quite chaotic one. Filthy Rich was not having fun. She had the hardest journey ahead, being cursed didn't help. A giant hoof here, a giant apple there. It was misery, and chaotic misery it was. Screwball thought she could help. She started singing songs by the PonyTones, and began to lead the way. She hopped on to a purple pony's leg, and gestured for Filthy Rich to join her. He hopped on, and the hoof left the ground. Screwball began to climb up the giant leg, but Filthy Rich just looked at his magical mansion and cried. He had given up so much, and that being his only daughter. He shouldn't have made this trade in the first place, so this was a proper consequence. he followed Screwball, until the endless climb up the leg. Screwball began to make silly noises, but no pony else could hear them. Screwball and Filthy Rich looked at the big pink mark on the pony's giant flank, and knew it was Twilight Sparkle. He ran across the pony's giant back, until he caught up with the runaway Screwball. She soon reached the pony's neck, and began to climb Twilight's neck. Filthy Rich stopped to catch his breath, and realized that they were almost at the Golden Oak library. He spotted Screwball dangling off of Twilight's snout, and saw a giant Spike with a feather. Spike began to tickle Twilight. She closed her eyes, and a small chuckle worked it's way up her throat. She burst out laughing, telling Spike to stop, and he soon stopped. When she was done, Filthy Rich looked at Twilight, and something was missing, on the end of the 1st day. Screwball. "Spike!" Twilight Sparkle began, "You have to stop tickling me!" Filthy Rich thought he saw something move in Twilight's mane, and sighed a sigh of relief. Screwball was rising from the mane of Twilight, and continued her chaos. As she began her circling, Twilight noticed her, and swatted her like a parasprite. She looked at the tiny mare, an asked a question. "What happened," Twilight said, sounding annoyed. Screwball looked at her and tried to explain her problem, but Twilight had trouble hearing her. She scribbled on a piece of paper, and wrote a long note answering all of Twilight's questions. Twilight, I really need your help. I need to get to Daddy Discord in 4 days, and I need a magic spell. This here is my friend Filthy Rich. I keep getting lost, so I need your help. Do you have any spells or gadgets that can help me with my quest home? It isn't easy being small. Love, Screwball. Twilight looked over the note, and began to pack to small bags. She explained to the duo that she would give them special earpieces, which would help them find each other in case they got lost. She gave each pony a special decoder that would look at a pony's hoof, and give them the name of the pony. The last device was a map, that would help them get to their destination. Filthy Rich looked at Screwball, and he glanced at Twilight. Screwball was asleep, and they would be staying with Twilight tonight.
