//------------------------------// // Jokes // Story: What About Mothball // by CAPTAIN YOSHI HD //------------------------------// Screwball was going for a walk around Ponyville while she's drinking a full glass of chocolate milk in her magic. She finished it up and threw the glass cup away. "Alright, I really needed that.", she said, satisfied. "I guess I'll check on my friends." Then, all of a sudden, she screaming of two creatures falling from the sky. She looked up and her eyes shrunk. "Good heavens, incoming!", she screamed. She ducked down below as the two creatures crashed in. It was Mothball and Discord. "Hello, Screwy, how are you doing?", they both asked. Screwball was delighted to see that her boyfriend and her dad are getting along. "Hey, I see you two are getting along.", she said. "We are getting along, Sweetie, and-- ho ho ho, your boyfriend has very priceless jokes.", Discord laughed. "And I got to say: how come I never tried those jokes before? I mean, what the heck?" Screwball got concerned about the jokes. "Like what kind of priceless jokes?", she asked. "What joke was he telling?" "Well, for example, the vampire goes up to you and says I've come to suck in your flanks.", Mothball said, imitating a vampire. He snickered. Discord laughed at the joke. "Oh my gosh, a vampire pony wants to suck in your flanks, priceless, my boy! Ho ho ho ho.", he laughed. Screwball didn't laugh, she raised an eyebrow with confusion. "Okay, then, that's... kind of amusing.", she said. "Say, why don't you and I go check on my wife, see if you can make her laugh by doing that joke.", Discord suggested. "No problem.", Mothball said. "Wait, Mothball, can you tell me what you're doing?", Screwball asked. Mothball chuckled. "Nothing personal, me and your father are just kidding around.", he said. "Isn't that right, big guy?" "When did this happen?", Screwball asked. "Earlier, I was talking to your boyfriend of how a great comedian I am, so I taught him how to be one.", Discord said. "You should've been there, but you were too busy to play with your brother. But, meh, any who, lets go see my wife, try to make her laugh." "Lets do it!", Mothball said, pumping his chest. "Lets hope she likes the joke." "See you later, Screwy.", Discord said, disappearing. "Yeah, see you later, Screwy.", Mothball said, flying off. Screwball got even more concerned. She raised an eyebrow and scratched her chin. "There's something fishy going around here with Mothball, I should probably check on Rarity's place.", she said, finding her way to Rarity's boutique.
