//------------------------------// // chapter 3 // Story: Im your Daddy Discord // by fluttercord45 //------------------------------// Screwball woke up from her nice chaotic dream. She looked around to see if her daddy was around but he wasn’t around. He wasn't even in his throne. “I guess he went to spread more chaos,” she thought “or even better throwing my surprise place his taking me.” She started to hear a group of ponies laughing somewhere around her area, she got up and followed the laughter of ponies. Behind the pink fluffy bushes she saw six ponies playing and laughing together. She seen one colt Pegasus jumping rope with two earth a colt and a filly, one mare unicorn hopscotch by herself and two mare and colt flying together in the air. What are they doing? They’re not spreading chaos their just…playing I don’t understand, she thought It’s a place where you can do whatever you want without any rules. She came little close to see, then she lost her balance and fell out of the pink fluffy bushes, all the colts and fillies stop playing for a moment and gather around screwball staring at her. Screwball got up rubbing her head then seen ponies around her staring at her. “H…hello” screwball said quietly. “Um…hi,” said a colt pegasus with a grayish blue coat and had a dirty blond mane. “What were you doing hiding in those bushes?” asked a mare earth pony with a red coat and had a read and orange mane. “Um…I was…just seeing what were you doing?” Screwball asked as she started to lower her head down. “Playing…you want to play with us?” a colt pegasus with a pale heather gray and had purple and blue mane. “Really? You want me to play with you?” “Yeah, that's if you want to play with us.” Screwball looked up and stared at the group of ponies. Some smiled at her and some just stared. “Sure,” she said in a nervous way. “Great, let’s play,” said one of the ponies. Everypony went back to playing except Screwball she stood there watching them play for a while. She eventually went to join the rest of the fillies and colts. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Discord returned back from his chaos making turning a stallion pegasus into his pet mouse and a mare unicorn thinking a shadow figure is following her to the point where she loss her mind. “That was hilarious, Discord you done it again you sly handsome devil you,” he said to himself. He looked over to the cotton candy cloud where he left his daughter sleeping, but she wasn’t there. “Now where's my little chaotic creation hiding now?” He started to hear little colts and fillies laughing. The draconequus followed the laughter of ponies he peek threw the pink fluffy bushes and saw other colts and fillies playing together. He didn’t like it when ponies didn’t play with his chaos. It was the place is where rules didn't exist where could do whatever you like. Then he couldn’t believe his own eyes when he saw his little abomination, Screwball, playing with those non-chaotic ponies. His eyes started to twitch as his temper started rise as his face turned a tint of red. He then got an idea in his chaotic head of his. He slowly cooled his temper and calmed his twitching eyes and slowly grin. “You know what I’m not going to do nothing,” said to himself. “I’m going to let screwball handle her chaos making,” By a snap of his finger he sat on a reclining chair and summoned a bag of popcorn in his paw. He sat and watched the show of Screwball's first chaos making. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- “So screwball what’s with those swirling eyes of yours? Do you have a disease or something?” asked a filly unicorn with a lightly coat and had a curly brown and purple mane. “No, I was born with them,” Screwball answered. “And that propeller hat, where did you get that?” Screwball looked up from her hat. “Oh, this my dad gave it to me. You like it?” “No, it looks dumb,” she gave her a smirk look “So your dad, what is he a lame hat maker?” “No, my dad is no a hat maker, he's-” “A baker?” said one of the ponies interrupted her. “No he's-“ “Clothes Designer?” “No...” “Black smith?” “No...” Screwball said, starting to get annoyed. “Farmer? A knight?” “NO! MY DAD IS THE LORD OF CHOAS, THE RULER OF EQUESTRIA!” Screwball shouted at them. Everypony became quiet for a moment then one of the ponies began to laugh braking the silent then everypony laugh as well. “What so funny?!” Screwball shouted, demanding why they are laughing. “The lord of chaos doesn’t have any kids, your lying.” “I…I’m not lying,” Screwball said. “He created me with his chaotic powers to understand love him and the chaos he makes. I even have some of his powers too.” “She’s lying, she just wants to feel so special and important that her ‘daddy’ IS the ruler of Equestria,” said the mare unicorn. The other ponies whisper to each other convinced that the filly is lying. “Ill prove it,” Screwball shouted. She looked around what to change to prove her point the she had chaotic powers like her dad. She then saw a frog leap in front of her. With one look, in a flash of light she turned the frog to have the body of orange. The ponies were surprised at the swirly-eyed fill was able to do to the innocent frog. “It's true! She does have powers like him,” the colt pegasus said. “See, I told you I have powers like him and-” “Then she must be evil and a monster. Just like him,” interrupted the mare unicorn. “What!?” Screwball gasped, having a look of shock. “My daddy is not evil or a monster.” “Then explain the terrible things he created all over Equestria?” “He created for everypony to have fun without any rules. It’s a place to have fun.” “Look around you, kid. Does it look like anypony is having fun in this place? This place is horrible, just like you and monster you call a dad.” “No, his not an evil monster.” Screwball said as her eyes began to be watery. “Evil monster...Evil monster...Evil monster...” The colts and fillies kept taunting over and over again as they began to circle around her. Screwball looked at them circling closer to her chanting ‘evil monster’. She covered her ears to try and block the name calling, but she couldn’t help but cry. As she closed her eyes, all she wanted to do was to make them stop and go away. She could still hear their taunts coming closer and closer to her. At that point something inside of her snapped. She then rose to her hooves. Once she opened her eyes, the foals could see the rage hidden behind her teary eyes. “Fine you want an evil monster,” she evily gring. “You got it.” Screwball then made black thorny vines appear in the ground that immediately grab the foals. Twhat were once jeering ponies, were now frightened little foals who were desperately trying to break free of their prison. “Y-Your crazy! Let us go” one of the ponies begged. “I’m not crazy,” she chackled, with her head tilted sideways as her left eye started to twitch. “I’m Screwball.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Discord couldn't help but laugh at to beautiful chaos his daughter was creating. He laugh so hard the he fell out of his chair and was now rolling on the ground laughing. After a few minuted, he was finally able to calm down as he wiped the tears from his eyes. “Oh my Celestia! That was hilarious! My daughter is an absolutely genius.” As he gathered himself, a light bulb went off in his head. “Oh, that gives me an idea on how to stop Celestia and Luna from reaching that annoying Tree of Harmony. It's a good thing I ate those delicious notes from Celestia's books.” With a snap of his claw, he had a brown pouch filled with strange black seeds in them. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- “P-Please let us go,” they all begged. “And give me a good enough reason. First, you called me a liar. Then, you said that the world my daddy made was bad and didn't enjoy his beautiful chaos. But of all of this, you foal have the nerve called my dad and I evil monsters,” Screwball seethed. “W-We promise not to say anymore of those things and swear to start enjoying the chaos that he made,” pleaded the frighten unicorn. “R-Right guys." They all immediately nodded their heads in agreement. Screwball stared at them to see if they were lying to her, but all she could see was the acared and frighten foals. She then turned her back to them, and in a flash of light the black thorny vines disappeared. The fillies and colts fell on the ground, and quickly got away from her. Screwball was all alone, no pony to play with her. She then noticed a puddle of chocolate milk appear. She walked toward it, and looked at her refecltion. A tear fell from her eye, as she could only see a chaotic monster. The tear fell into the puddle, which caused the puddle to her image to become distroted. Once the ripple settled, she saw her dad's reflection standing behind. She quickly turned around to greet her dad, but he wasnt there. Discord appeared behind her from the puddle. When Screwball saw his shadow, she turned around to hug him. While she then began to cry into his chest. Discord slowly returned her hug and started to stroke her mane. “There, there Screwball. Those bad ponies are gone now. You're safe here with your daddy,” Discord cooed. “Daddy, am I an evil m-monster?” Screwball asked, in between sobs. “Screwball, you're not an evil monster!” he answered. “T-Then why did those mean ponies call me that and saying those bad things about the chaos you make?” “Screwball look at me and listen well.” She slowly lifted her head to look at him with teary eyes. “My little abomination, you're a truly special pony. Those other ponies were just jealous that they can't what we can do. And well...let's just say they don't know how to have fun,” he said, as he wipe away the tears from her eyes. “Do you understand what I'm saying?" “I guess,” she sighed, as she look down with a sad face. “Come now, my little abomination. Let's turn that frown upside down.” He then put his claw on her mouth to turn it to a smile. “That's better,” he smiled. “Now, it's time for me to take you to the place I promised I would take you.” Screwball let out a discontented sigh. “Okay, I guess.” With a snap, they are teleported to a staduim in Manehatten, where a baseball game was being played. “What are we doing here, daddy?” Screwball wondered. “This is the place I promised to take you,” he said, as he made some peanuts appear and a number one phone finger on his paw. “A baseball game? This is your idea of a fun place?” “Yes, I know it's quite borring, but what's fun about it making this a littel chaotic to liven things up. Just watch this.” As the pitcher threw the ball to the batter, with a snap of Discord's claw the baseball grew wings and flew around the batter. The earth stallion at the plate was confused as he saw the ball float high above his head. With another snap, the ball lost its wings fell down and struck the batter on his head. Some of the ponies gathered around him to see if he was badly injured. Discord began to laugh at his antics. Screwball slowly started to laugh as a small smile appeared. “There's that smile I wanted to see from you,” he said, as he put his arm around her. “Can I try something, daddy? I think you'll find it funny and you be proud of me,” she asked, with a slight grin. “I like the look you have my dear,” he grinned. “Of course you can. I'd like to see what you have planned for them.” The batter finally recovered from the strange baseball incident, the pitcher threw another pitch to the batter hoping nothing else weird would happen. Screwball then focused on the baseball. The ball then sailed past the batter making the ball hit the catcher and knocking him to the ground. The ball then hit then went flying toward the other baseball team and moved around fast like a pinball. “That ball is cursed,” one of the ponies shouted from the staduim. “Run for your lives!” Some ponies ran out of the staduim, others were getting hit by the 'cursed' baseball. As this was going on, Discord was laughing so hard that his eyes fell out of their sockets. He soon picked them up off the ground and rubbing them on his chest before putting the back. “Brillant, my dear. Simply brillant!” as he smiled at her. He then saw something that he thought would be impossible, even with all the magic he possessed. “Well, what do you know... Would you look at that?” he muttered. “What?” Screwball asked He then pointed his claw on her flank. She glanced down and saw a picture of a baseball and a screw on her flank. “What is it, daddy?” she asked. “Your cutie mark,” he anwsered “Cutie mark? What's that?” “A Cuite Mark its something you get that tells you what you're special talent is. And my dear found it, by spreading chaos.” “Did I make you proud, dad?” Discord smiled and hug the filly lightly. “You made your daddy very proud. my little abonination,” he said, as he ruffled her mane. Thw two of them then shared in a joyous laugh. That's my girl,” he smiled.
