//------------------------------// // Chapter 3 // Story: There's Something Screwy Goin' On Around Here // by No1MporXant //------------------------------// Meanwhile we rejoin Twilight & Spike who have been running around trying to get away from Screwball, they stop to catch their breath then Twilight says "I think we lost her, Spike". Suddenly something strange starts coming out of Twilight's right ear. Which pops into the form of Screwball's Head with an elongated neck, and Screwball says "Well now I wouldn't say that." Screwball then stretches her forelimbs out of Twilight's ear to wrap around Twilight's head & Screwball gives Twilight a big kiss on the check, then Screwball pulls herself back into Twilight's Ear. Then Twilight places her Front Hooves on the sides of her head while saying "Gah, Screwball, Get Out Of My Head!". Suddenly a big round thing that looks just like the Spiraled Iris of Screwball appears floating right next to Twilight as we hear Screwball say "Who says I am?". Then the Camera zooms out and we see that somehow Twilight is in Screwball's right eye, then Screwball says "Maybe You're in My head". Then Screwball lifts up her beanie to reveal a lit fuse attached to her head like she was a bomb and says "Mind Blowing, isn't it?". Then we see a smokey explosion with the same squeaky sound effect as Pinkie Pie's Party Cannon. But Screwball then takes that scene from the foreground & crumbles it up like it all happened on a sheet of paper, and we end up back in Ponyville with Screwball standing in front of Twilight & Spike, then Screwball says to Twilight "Well that was a blast". Then Screwball takes the paper and says "How about trying our hooves at Origami?". She then presents Twilight with an Origami Swan and says "Look, A Beautiful Swan", then the Origami Swan comes to life, making the cry of a swan, then flies away. Screwball then asks Twilight "Pretty Cool am I right?". Twilight replies "Yes, But, I have to-" But then Screwball interrupts Twilight saying "Wait wait wait, I got to hear that again". Then Screwball takes out what looks like a TV Remote, then she apparently uses the remote to rewind time back to a few seconds ago to make Twilight repeat something she said earlier. We then see Screwball using her remote to make Twilight say "But, But, But, But, But, But, But, Bu-, Gah!". Then Screwball then puts away her remote, then takes off her head with a POP sound, then starts shaking her head around making a bunch of sounds like a box full of junk rattling around, then she screws her head back on to her body and says "Now let's listen to all of that sped-up". Screwball then makes her eyes spin around while she makes gibberish sounds like she imitating a Tape-Recorder, then she closes her eyes to make a click sound, and keeps her mouth open and from out of her mouth comes the same sounds that she made Twilight say, only it's playing at a faster speed & she repeats it 3 times. Then Screwball opens her eyes, points at Twilight and says "You sound like a Chicken!", then she falls to her back laughing like a loon. Twilight makes an annoyed look and asks Screwball "Can't you be Serious about Anything At All?". Screwball then gets up, wraps her left fore limb around Twilight's neck and replies "Oh I'm Always Serious about Everything, just ask Jem and the Holograms". "Who?" Spike Asks. Screwball then pats Spike on the head while saying "If you Need to ask, It's better that you Don't, trust me on that, I've seen things you'd never even think to believe". Twilight then asks "Screwball, can you please just-". But Screwball interupts Twilight again and says "Hang on!". Screwball then looks around and says "Something Funny, this way comes". Spike goes "Huh?". Screwball then says "Excuse me a moment", then she hops on an Invisible Motorcycle, revs it up with the hoof of her hind-leg, we then see spinning motions that would belong to the Invisible wheels, and the ground peels out as Screwball performs a wheelie, then she Vrooms away going off screen. We then see Pinkie Pie bouncing along minding her own business, when she suddenly stops, looks around, then makes a suspicious "Hmmm?". Then Screwball falls down from the sky right in front of Pinkie and says "Hey!", then Screwball starts moving all around the screen doing all sorts of weird & random stuff while singing "Pinkie, Pinkie, Bo-Binkie, Banana-Fana Fo-Finkie, Fee-Fy-Mo-Minkie", then Screwball Pops the upper half of her body out from inside Pinkie's Mane & sings "Pinkie!". Pinkie then excitingly says "Screwball!" as Screwball floats the rest of the way out of Pinkie's Mane. The 2 Mares then wrap their fore limbs multiple times around each other to order to Hug each other really tight. Then when they left go, their fore limbs begin spinning around like helicoptor propellers, and when they stop, the 2 Mares suddenly see that they accidentally got each other's fore limbs, but Screwball says "Oops, I'll fix this". Screwball then grabs Pinkie by the front hooves, then has Pinkie's Arms pop off Screwball's Torso, then Pinkie's Arms pull Screwball's Arms off Pinkie's Torso with a POP, then the 2 pairs of Arms flip around & Pinkie's Arms pop back into Pinkie's Torso, and Screwball's Arms pop back into Screwball's Torso, and Screwball says "Much Better". Pinkie then looks at her Arms and says to Screwball "Wow, can you teach me That trick?". Screwball says "Well, not today, But I will teach you another handy trick you can use". "Oh goody goody" said Pinkie. Screwball says "First things first, let's set things up", then she pulls out a Cooking TV Show style kitchen set-up from off screen. When Pinkie sees the set up she asks "Oohhh, Are we going to bake a cake?" Screwball replies "We sure are, only we're going to use an extra special technique to do it with", while she takes her beanie & flips it inside out to turn it into a chef's hat, then reaches into it to pull out a 2nd chef's hat & tosses it onto Pinkie's head. "Now let's start with making the cake batter" says Screwball. Screwball and Pinkie then add all of the necessary ingredients, perfectly measured into the mixing bowls. Then Screwball says "Now it's time to mix all the ingredients together, (gasp!)but wait, we don't have any whisks, not a problem, now watch this". Screwball then takes one of her hooves, then uses her other hoof to twist the 1st hoof like the wind-up key on a wind-up toy, then she quickly lets go, grabs the mixing bowl, sticks her wound-up hoof in the bowl, and makes like a handheld electric mixer, once her hoof stops she pulls out her hoof and says "And Viola', one bowl of perfectly mixed cake batter ready to be baked, a very useful trick if you don't have access to a whisk, mixer or even a spoon, and best of all you can taste the batter & clean your hoof off at the same time", then she sticks her hoof in her mouth. "Wooow!" said Pinkie. Pinkie then tries that herself, but ends up hurting herself. "How did you do that?" Pinkie asks Screwball after she washed her hooves. "It's simple" said Screwball after washing her hooves in a kitchen sink. Screwball then shows Pinkie how to perform the Mixer Hoof Trick, holding onto Pinkie's hooves while telling her "Start by applying a little pressure to the crook of your hock, then bob your hoof back and forth twice, then lightly press down on your hoof, then begin turning it to the right about ten times". And sure enough Pinkie's hoof starts winding up, then Screwball lets go so that Pinkie can do it on her own, then Screwball brings out Pinkie's mixing bowl, then Pinkie places her hoof in the mixing bowl and successfully mixes the batter. "I did it I did it" Pinkie excitedly said. "Great" said Screwball, "But don't forget to wash your hooves before and after each use, and now we can bake an entire tier of cake". Screwball and Pinkie then pour their batters into baking pans, then place each of them in the 2 fast-baking ovens. Screwball turns to Pinkie and says "Now to help you get the hang of that trick better, I want you to do that about 8 more times, then you'll have enough to make a 10-tier cake. "10-whole-tiers?!" said Pinkie, "Gosh, I've never made a cake that big all on my own before". "What's wrong, don't think you've got what it'll Take, to Make, that Cake?" asks Screwball. Pinkie replies "Oh I know I've got what it'll Take alright, I'm wide Awake, quick as a Snake & I don't need a Break, I'll Bake like my very life was at Stake, because I'm no Fake for Pete's Sake, and I guarantee that out of every Cake I ever did Bake, this Cake is going to Take the Cake, you get my Uptake?!". "As sure as my name ain't Jake the Drake, who causes a Quake everytime he jumps in a Lake in the shape of a Rake" said Screwball. The 2 Mares then drop down to the ground laughing, [ya they are very random aren't they?].
