It has been at least an entire weekend since Screwball heard the bad news. She had spent the entire two days sobbing her eyes out. In her room she was in the beetle position cuddleing with a picture of Button Mash she secretly took. She couldnt belive that the love of her life is going to ask out Sweetie Belle. Thier date would proboblay go well. Maybe a long walk on the beach, a calm romantic dinner, dancing at the Canterlot Ball, a trip to the moon, or the best of all, him kissing her while they saw the fireworks over the city of Prance.
Anger started to build up in the little filly. The more she thought of Button Mash with Sweetie Belle it just made her sick to the very pit of her stomach. Then she snapped. "UGH Its not fair! He should be asking out ME! Not that squeaky voiced crusader!"
Her anger quickly diminished and started crying again. She stepped over to her bottom drawer and pulled out a small rag doll that her father gave her before he left. "Oh daddy, what should i do? Button Mash likes another filly. I really want him to like me back but i dont know what to do." She gave the doll a hug and fell asleep. What she didnt see is that the rag dolls face no longer had a smiling face that said "hug me". It had a face with pure anger that said "Im going to kill you."
Back in Canterlot thier lies a familliar statue that stands in a rediculous pose. That statue became a father before he was imprisioned. That statue is named Discord, spirit of Chaos and Disharmony.Through the little dolls eyes he saw her crying because of heartbreak. "How dare that little colt make my daughter cry! My poor little Scrwball. If only i can be there to comfort you." Discord said sadly.
Discord may be turned to stone but that doesn't mean that chaos is gone forever. His body may may be complete stone but his mind he is watching his wife and daughter the little dolls eyes. In his mind he is weighing his options, looking into the past for answers. He then sees Screwball on her first day and sees another vision of Button Mash comforting her. Seeing her so happy with him made him do something he hasnt done for over a millenia.
He shed a tear.
"Oh sweetie, im so sorry i couldnt be there for you. I swear ill do anything in my restricted power to get your dream colt." He then looked into the past again and saw a pink filly wearing a tiara saying she liked a filly named Sweetie Belle.
"Ah, she may be the cog that sets the gears into motion. Better put an idea in her head first."
Discord then pulled out a letter and started writing.
Dear little pink tiara filly,
Ive heard about your little problem and i have decided to help you. To win the heart of the one you call Sweetie Belle you must read the instructions below. 1. Team up with the filly named Screwball. 2. Disquise yourself as Sweetie Belle, so when the colt asks you out. Reject him as hard as you can. 3. Have Screwball desquise as the colt, so when Sweetie Belle asks him out, she will reject him. 4. Once they are both heartbroken thats when you two step in and make them all yours.
Sincerely, Discord He folded up the letter into a paper airplane and threw it. Is soon faded away. "Good, thats one problem. Now, how do i get out of here."
Back in ponyville, Diamond Tiara was sound asleep in her bed dreaming about being ruler of the world. As she was sleeping, a paper airplane flew through her window. It flew to her face and faded into magic dust. She started tossing and turning and woke up saying "Thats actually a good zany idea." She pulled out a small picture of Sweetie Belle under her pillow and said " Dont worry Sweetie Belle, by the end of this week your gonna be all mine" she said with a devious smile.
