A Mother For Screwball
Chapter 4
Mommy doesn't approve
.....................................................................................
Screwball frowned a little. What if she didn't like her? Would her mommy be mad at her for getting a new mommy?. She started to tremble gently as she continue to think of the worst possibilities. Discord felt the chair moving softly. His eyes trailed to the trembling mare. He's eyes softened as he placed a paw on the filly's head, gently patting her.
"Don't worry my sweet she'll love you" Discord said with a warm smile. He knew this would be difficult for her but he also knew Fluttershy would be gently with her and give her all the time she needed to be comfortable with her.
They both jumped as the sounds of glass breaking followed by a soft shriek were heard.
"Stay here Screwball" Discord quickly got out of his seat and opened the door which lead to the kitchen.
"Oh no this is going to be a disaster" She let a small whine. Screwball usually loved disasters. It made the event more fun but in this situation she knew that it wasn't the case. She let out a shaky sigh before getting off her seat and walking towards a small mirror.
"I hope she's ok..." Screwball mumbled as she fixed her hat and mane. She wiggled her nose up as she concentrated hard to keep her eyes straight.
"There all better!" She smiled brightly, hoping she looked ok. She squealed as saw the mirror cracked. It wasn't long before she noticed her eyes suddenly turning magenta and her wide smile turned into a scowl. She was scared now, the edges of her mouth twitched as she tried to smile. It felt like entirety until she was able to have control of her face. She fell on her rump and placed a hoof against her chest as she tried to catch her breath. Her eyes filled with tears, She knew those eyes weren't hers but they were diffidently familiar.
"M-Mommy?" She whispered softly, not looking away from the mirror.Was that a sign that she didn't want Fluttershy to be her new mommy? She slowly looked away from the mirror as she heard her father calling her name.
"Screwball are you alright? It's really quiet in there" Discord asked as he used magic to clean the broken plates. He expected the cries of those monsters Fluttershy calls pets but then again she would probably want to make a good impression.
"I'm s-sorry Discord" Fluttershy said meekly as she poured the tea into her tea pot.
"Oh no it's fine Fluttershy. Besides you know you shouldn't be carrying those plates at once." He said teasingly, taking the two plates of tea cakes.
Fluttershy blushed lightly as she grabbed two small washcloths to hold the tea pot and placing it on the tray.
"She must be more nervous now. I know that has to be hard for her..." Fluttershy said as she slowly opened the door to the living room.
"Oh nononono" Screwball quickly looked at the mirror again, seeing her mane a mess and face red. She looked terrible, she quickly ran outside into the bushes. She was to scared to realize she had left her hat behind or the branches cutting her face and hooves as she continue to run until she stopped in Sugarcube corner.
"I hope dad doesn't get too angry at me" Screwball wiped the sweat off her forehead and sat down at the ground and sighed loudly. She looked around at the ponies around her, giving them a small smile. Her father never really took her to see Ponyville so she didn't know anypony of any place she can go. She lifted her nose and sniffed the air.
"Mmmnn! Something smells good" She got and took a few steps before she heard loud screams from the ponies around her. Confused she looked around seeing no signs of danger. Her face pale as she realized there was a shadow surrounding her. She then looked up to see large boxes falling from the sky.
"MOMMY!" Screwball was too scared to move. Shutting her eyes, she couldn't but call out for her mother. But she knew she wouldn't come not even her dad could help her now. She called out again, surprised to feel somepony pulling her into a tight hug.
