A Mother For Screwball
Chapter One:
Screwball's Sorrow
............................................................................................................................................................
"DADDY!" Screwball excitedly called out as she ran to Discord, clutching herself against his tail.

Discord smiled warmly and picked the lavender filly up.

"Hello my sweet what seems to be the problem?". He asked, curious on what the filly was so excited about. 

"Um..when can we see mommy again?". Screwball looked at Discord with her eyes filled with tears.

"I miss her...". She added, gently rubbing her eyes.

Discord tensed up and give her a worried look. 

"Is that why you were acting so down lately?" He asked as he rubbed her back gently to help calm her down.

Screwball nodded in reply.

"Well Screwball I-". He immediately closed his mouth. He was never good when it came to telling bad news. Unfortunately her mother Screwloose well let's just say that she wasn't coming back. Discord looked down at Screwball, he couldn't tell her. He didn't want to but he knew he would regret it if he didn't.

"Sweetheart well your mother isn't not coming back''. Discord smacked his forehead.

"Wow that was real settle Discord" Discord thought,a bit afraid to look at Screwball.

He hesitated but slowly looked down at his daughter for her reaction. 

"W-what? so she's..." Screwball started to tremble, trying her best not to cry. 

"I'm afraid so...''. Discord gently hugged Screwball for comfort. "But don't worry I'll found you a new one..."

At this point Discord didn't care what he had to do if it was to keep Screwball smiling he was willing to do anything. 

"But I don't want a new one I want MY mommy!". Now Screwball was screaming, she didn't want it to believe it. There was no way that her mother would leave her and her father alone. 

"Please tell me it's not true!". Screawball desperately cried out, hugging Discord tightly. 

Discord snapped his finger, a tissue magical appeared onto his paw. "There there it's going to be alright". Discord used the tissue to wipe her face. 
"If you have a new mommy you'll have somepony to play with you everyday". Discord smiled at Screwball, trying to cheer up her.
"And you'll won't have to worry about your mommy running off!". He said, running his caws over her curly mane. 
Screwball rubbed her eyes and let out a shaky sigh. "B-but what if I don't like her?".

Screwball asked,thinking about his offer since she was awfully alone sure she had her father but she wanted a mother who would love her and would play games with her. Sure her father could do that stuff but he would probably like to go see his other friends than deal with her. 

"I-I guess....". Screwball said as she buried her face onto Discord's chest.

"Please don't leave me like mommy." Screwball said softly, clutching his fur. 

Discord frowned and lifted her chin."Screwball don't be silly. I would never leave you".

Screwball gave him a small nod and smiled. 

"That's better. Now enough of this sad talk let's have some cotton candy!". Discord carries Screwball and walks towards the door.
"And chocolate milk?". Screwball asked excitably. 

"You read my mind!". Discord said as they walk outside to enjoy their treats.
