//------------------------------// // Chapter 6 // Story: There's Something Screwy Goin' On Around Here // by No1MporXant //------------------------------// After the commercial break we see what looks like a TV news broadcasting room with Screwball dressed as a PNN news anchor, and there's a TV Screen that shows clips to help visually recap what happened before the commercial break, Screwball then says in a serious tone "Hello everypony, in case you're just tuning in my name is Screwball, when we last left Twilight Sparkle she was left helpless in the clutches of an Evil Bicorn that was rampaging across Ponyville trying to eat everypony, will she be able to get out of this mess?". Suddenly the real PNN news anchor pony comes in and says "Hey, what are you doing at my desk?!". Screwball just smiles and says in her usual silly tone "Uh...Leaving?", then she zips off screen leaving her news anchor clothes lingering in mid-air for a second before they fall down, then we see Screwball's hoof appear in the foreground, then hear Screwball say "Any-ways" and she slides the screen to the left, then we return to the scene where we originally left off. We then see the Bicorn extend his claws getting ready to slice Twilight into bite-sized pieces, suddenly the Bicorn is hit with what appears to be a snowball from off screen to the left, the Bicorn then grabs the snow, looks at it for a second and says "Snow? At This Time of Year?!". Then another snowball hits the Bicorn from off screen to the left, then the Bicorn looks to the left and says "Hey! Who Threw That?!". Then a third snowball hits the Bicorn right in the eyes and he then brushes it off. Then we see Screwball floating above ground right next to a mini-fridge full of snowballs, she then says "That would be me", then she grabs the mini-fridge with her tail, tosses it up into the air off screen, then she removes her beanie, holds it out upside-down, then the mini-fridge falls right into her beanie, then Screwball puts the hat back on her head(since she remains floating without having her beanie on her head, this reveals that she doesn't need her beanie to defy the law of Gravity). Screwball then floats over to the Bicorn, the Bicorn is seen standing on his hind legs & holding Twilight up by the horn with his paw(preventing her from being able to use her Magic, and he asks "And just what are you supposed to be?". Screwball replies "Oh just somepony who's surprised that someone who claims to like Rare Delicacies would be settling for an Alicorn of all things". "What do you mean settling?" asks the Bicorn. Screwball replies "Get with the program, Alicorns these days are a dime a dozen, I mean Equestria alone has 5 of them that are known to the public, now if you want something Really Rare you should try eating me". "Screwball what are you doing?!" asks Twilight. Screwball says "You see I'm not just any ordinary Earth Pony". She then takes her right arm & pulls it back like the sleeve of a shirt to reveal a Lion's Paw while saying "I'm a Pony that's part Draconequus, the same species that Discord is"(that was just a visual gag by the way, she's not really a draconequus in a Pony suit or anything like that, it's just a joke to show the Bicorn that she's not a Full Pony). Screwball then pushes back her pony arm & it changes back like that didn't happen while she says "So I'm pretty much the only one of my kind, there for if you want to eat something Rare, then you would go down in history as the only Bicorn to have ever eaten a Pony/Draconequus Hybrid like me". "Screwball No, Stop!" says Twilight. The Bicorn then says "Hmm, you know what, I like that idea" Then the Bicorn throws Twilight off screen to the right, then turns to Screwball and says "I'll skip all these other common treats & move on to eating You". Screwball then responds by saying "OK but I'm going to make you have to earn you're meal here", she then raspberrys the Bicorn while spinning her hind-legs around like a wheel, then she zooms away leaving a trail of fire, the Bicorn then Moars and chases after her. We return to Applejack's stand, where Screwball stops then pulls a treasure chest full of gold & jewels out from her back, then gives it to A.J. saying "I'll take everything you got, keep the change". Screwball then grabs A.J.'s stand & her entire inventory, then throws it at the running Bicorn, the Bicorn gets hit and has a pair of pies covering it's eyes, the Bicorn is then slipping around on the apples while saying "Whoa, whoa, I can't see-ee-ee". Then Screwball then pulls a gymnastics bar that looks like a giant carpet staple out from behind her back while saying "Stop me if you heard this one". She then slams the gymnastics bar deep in the ground while saying "A Bicorn walked into a bar-". Then the Bicorn slams right into the bar, spins around a few times by the chin at great speeds, then slams front-side right into the ground. Then Screwball concludes "-And said, OUCH!". Screwball then giggles as Applejack comes over and says "Hey, what about my Apple Stand?!". "I payed ya for it didn't I? I even let you keep the change!" replied Screwball. Applejack then makes a scared face & runs away, Screwball then makes a confused face & looks behind her, then Bicorn is then heavy breathing and growling as it exhales. Screwball then eats 1 last apple she was holding in her tail and says "Hate to eat & run, but I'm done eatin', so it's time to run", then zips away off screen, leaving a cloud of dust in the shape of her body that blows a raspberry at the Bicorn before it dissipates, the Bicorn Moars and chases after her. We then return to DJ-Pon3 who just finished playing some of her music with a bunch of other ponies having been dancing to Screwball's Disco-Ball that makes you dance uncontrollably. Then we see all the other ponies run screaming off screen as they see the Bicorn in the distance, Screwball then slides to a stop and says "Vinyl, play something quick". Vinyl says "Right!", then she starts playing the mix she & Screwball made earlier. The Bicorn then stops in his tracks & starts dancing uncontrollably. The Bicorn then says "Whoa, Hey, What is this? I can't stop dancing". "That's the idea" says Screwball. "Ah Yeah, Not even a Monster can resist MY Wubs" says Vinyl Scratch. The Bicorn then performs a dance move that purposely causes the Disco-Ball to be knocked into the ground. As Vinyl makes a run for it, Screwball remains behind says "Hey, do you know how many years of bad luck you'll get by breaking a Mirror Ball?!". Then Bicorn then Moars & snaps it's jaws at Screwball, fortunately Screwball manages to dodge out of the way. Screwball then grabs one of the Bicorn's Horns with her hoof, then blows into the horn, causing the Bicorn's other horn to morph into a Trumpet-like horn as Screwball makes Horse-Track Fanfare Music come out of it, then Screwball then shouts "They're Off!" and zips away off screen, the Bicorn then Moars more aggressively and resumes chasing her. We then rejoin Pinkie Pie as she puts the finishing touches on the 10-tier cake Screwball told her to make. Pinkie then Phews in exhaustion & slides down a fold-up ladder and says "It took a lot of Mixing, Baking & Frosting, but I finally made my first ever 10-tier cake". Then Screwball slides into the scene and says "And just in time too". Screwball then grabs the cake, then floats up, with the cake in one hoof she starts winding-up for a pitch, having her arms spin around like a fan, then throws the cake at a tremendous speed. The cake then hits the Bicorn with such great force, that the Bicorn is knocked off his 'feet' and sent flying right into the side of a house, and is pinned to the wall because he's covered in so much cake & frosting. Screwball then says "Whoo, any fewer tiers and That wouldn't have worked, good job Pinks". Pinkie just says "Aww, no problem". Then we see the Bicorn peels off the wall & lands face first on to the ground, he then gets up, exhales steam from his nose, then Moars with great frustration and comes after Screwball yet again. We then see Screwball dressed up as a Traffic Cop, she then holds up a STOP sign & blows a police whistle, which causes the Bicorn to screech to a halt. Screwball then says "Look buster if you don't quit wrecking havoc I'm afraid I'm going to have to teach you a lesson". The Bicorn then says "Oh Yeah, And just how do you plan on doing That?". Screwball then says "Oh I was think of starting off with something like-". Then Screwball hits the upper-side of the background, which causes the entire screen to flip upside-down, the Bicorn then looks up(which to us is down) & says "Huh?". The Bicorn then falls up(which is down to us) & goes "Whaaaa!". Screwball(without her previous outfit) then flies next to the Bicorn on the right side of the screen, then holds a hoof up to her ear & says "Uh what's that, you want me to drop an Anvil on your head? She then takes an anvil out from behind her back and says "OK then", she then throws the anvil down off screen(which is up to the Bicorn), then she hits the lower-side of the background, which causes the entire screen to flip right-side-up. Then the Bicorn falls and lands back on the ground, then the Bicorn looks towards the screen, then looks straight up to the sky, then the anvil lands on the Bicorn's head right between the horns. Screwball then floats down giggling. The Bicorn then has the anvil slide off his face, Moars then says "How did you do That?!". Screwball replies "Like This", then she hits the upper-side of the background, causing the entire screen to flip upside-down again. Then the Bicorn falls off screen falling down(up for him) while Screwball just floats on screen, then she looks downwards & shouts to the Bicorn "Don't Worry, I'll cushion your fall". Then Screwball hits the lower-side of the background & flips it right-side-up. Then she reaches out & pulls out a giant pin-cushion full of huge needles from the right off screen while saying "With an over-sized Pin Cushion!". The Bicorn then lands butt first on the Pin Cushion, then leaps up into the air screaming "Wha-ha-ha-ha-ho!". Then the Bicorn lands butt first in the chimney of the same Bar-be-cue pit that Screwball lit earlier, then burns his butt, leaps up into the air & shouts "Eaow!". Then the Bicorn's face pummels through the steps of the wooden ladder Screwball used earlier while going "bbrrrrrr", then lands on the spring mattress & is sprang up into the air, he notices with 2 springs stuck in his horns, then takes the springs off. Then the Bicorn lands butt first on the same pitch fork Screwball left in that pile of Hay earlier and shouts "Ouch!"(this causes the pitch fork's tines to get bent out of shape). Then the Bicorn lands on the raised end of a see-saw that had the ton of bricks that Screwball had earlier on the other end, which sends the bricks up into the air, then each brick lands on the Bicorn's Head & Butt one by one(making the sound of a descending xylophone as they hit him). Then the cinder-block lands on the other end of the seesaw, catapulting the Bicorn to right back where he started, then the Bicorn lands face first on the same anvil that hit him on the head, then he collapses with the anvil in front of his head. Screwball is floating right next to him, performing back-flips as she laughs like a loon, then she says "OH that was so funny I can't watch it only once, good thing I don't have to". Screwball then reaches behind her back to pull out the same remote control she had earlier while saying "Not when I have a Trans-Universal Remote Control". Then the Bicorn Moars as he gets up & tosses the anvil to the left off screen, then raises his arms up like he plans to strangle Screwball and says "Why You Little-!". But before the Bicorn can finish that sentence, Screwball presses a button on her remote and says "Rewind". And sure enough the episode rewinds back to an earlier period, Screwball floats over to the left side of the screen then presses another button on her remote and says "Pause". Then we see that the Bicorn has stopped at the point where he was right above the pitch fork, the Bicorn is still aware that he's back above the pitch fork, but he currently can't move from this position, even though he can still talk, Screwball then presses another button 3 times while saying "Frame, By, Frame", and this causes the Bicorn to slowly but surely get closer to the pitch fork. The Bicorn then Gulps as he sees his butt getting closer to landing on the pitch fork again, then Screwball goofily snickers as the Bicorn looks at her and says "Hey, W-Wait a Minute!". Then Screwball presses another button and says "Slow Motion". This then causes the Bicorn to repeat the pitch fork scene in slow motion and we hear him say "Oooooouuuucchh!", while Screwball floats back over to the right side of the screen to see the Bicorn land on the seesaw again. Screwball then goofily snickers, presses another button and says "Rewind", then we end up back at the point before the anvil landed on the Bicorn's head and Screwball says "Play". The Bicorn looks at Screwball, then looks up to the sky and says "Not Again", then the anvil lands on the Bicorn's head again. Screwball then goofily snickers, presses another button and says "Go Back", and we see the anvil land on the Bicorn's head again. Then the Bicorn stands up and says "HEY!". Then Screwball press another button and says "Fast Forward", and we see the Bicorn land on the pitch fork again. Only this time instead of going ouch he points towards Screwball and says "You!". Then Screwball presses another button and says "Rewind". And we see the Bicorn's face pummel through the steps of the ladder again while he goes "Bbrrrrrr". Then Screwball presses another button and says "Shuffle Mode", then we see the Bicorn continuously repeat all those same gags again & again in a random order for no less than 5 seconds but no more than 10. We even hear him say things like "Aah, Ohh, Waa, Eeh, Ihh, Ooh, Dah, Gah, Yeh!". Then Screwball presses another button twice as she says "A/B Repeat", then we see the Bicorn constantly getting hit on the head with the anvil for no less than 3 seconds but no more than 5, and we really start to see signs that the Bicorn is getting injured. Then Screwball presses another button and says "Play". Then the Bicorn says "Mama?" right before the anvil hits him on the head again. Then Screwball presses another button and says "Again". Then the Bicorn says "Guess Who?" right before the anvil hits him on the head yet again. Then Screwball presses another button and says "One More Time". Then the Bicorn says "I used to play with a Mr. Potato Head once", right before the anvil hits him on the head one final time, then the Bicorn(with the anvil still on his head) spins around once while going "Whooo", then makes a military salute and says "You Sunk My Battleship!", then falls to the ground unconscious. Then Screwball picks up the unconscious Bicorn & dances the walts with him, then slides him head first on the ground towards the camera. Then she reaches off screen and pulls out a huge rectangular panel with a big hole in the center, then panel has the words "Monster Trap" printed on it, then she floats in the hole in the center of the panel, then she takes out from her back what appears to be a *Super Soaker* squirt gun, then she starts pumping the squirt gun while saying "Wetter is Better". Then Screwball squirts the Bicorn in the face from behind him, then the Bicorn wakes up with a confused expression going "Huh Who What Where?". Then Screwball blows a raspberry at the Bicorn, who then shouts "Hey Come Back Here!", then as the Bicorn goes into the hole in the panel, the hole shrinks and traps the Bicorn in the center of the panel. Screwball then floats above the panel and says "Eh, Sorry Pal" while stretching her forelimbs to the corners of the panel, then folds them together, sandwiching the Bicorn's front half in the two ends of the panel, then she continuously folds the ends of the panel, trapping the Bicorn in a smaller & smaller container while she says "But you've caused enough trouble for one day". Then with a close up of Screwball we then see her take a long red ribbon from off screen & messes with something we can't see while saying "So I'm afraid I'm going to have to make you leave", then we see her holding a tiny cube that is the panel she trapped the Bicorn in & it's wrapped in the ribbon, topped with a bow, and she says "Gift-wrapped up with a pretty little bow". Then screwball sets the cube on what looks like a golf tee, we then see a pair of eyes open on the side of the cube that's facing the screen, and the eyes are divided by the ribbon in the middle, then we see what looks like a golf club right next to the cube, when the eyes see this, they make a worried expression, and the cube begins to jiggle as it murmurs "NO" a bunch of times. Then we see Screwball getting ready to hit the cube with a golf club, she then shouts "3 and a Half!", then slams the cube with such tremendous force that we see the ribbon float down to the ground. Then a screen with an arrow appears within the screen showing us a zoomed in shot of the Bicorn screaming as he soars over the horizon & lands beyond the vast mountains past the Everfree Forest, after the Bicorn crash lands the screen with the arrow vanishes, then Screwball makes a victory pose and says "Yahtzee!".
