hearing a voice

The ground began to shake, a chunk of it, holding a windmill, broke off and began to float, bobbing up and down, then suddenly the ground became one giant white and purple checkerboard, then pies came out of nowhere and began floating upward. All of a sudden it was dark, and then it wasn't, she realized it had become night for a few seconds. She started to fly! fly? She wasn’t a pegasus, she was an earth pony, how was she flying? She then realized that the propeller on her hat was acting like a helicopter to lift her off the ground.

Poor little screwball couldn’t take all this, “nothing makes any sense anymore” She thought. Right as she thought this she heard a voice say “aww, but what fun is making sense” screwball looked for who had said this but saw that no one was around. One of the cotton candy clouds formed above her, and started raining it’s chocolatey milk rain on her.

The ballerina buffalo danced by again as a depressed unicorn walked by, she looked slightly gray. She then noticed the strange creature talking to the unicorn, it had the same voice she had heard in her head. But there was nothing she could do, because she was much too busy passing out.

***

Screwball awoke in a bed. nothing was crazy anymore, maybe it had been a dream, “W-what happened? Where Am I?” she asked sitting up abruptly.

“You’re at a hospital, you hit your head, but don't worry, the princess says that everything's back to normal now.” a nurse with a white coat, and a gray mane answered.

“How long was was I out?” screwball inquired

“We found you lying on the ground yesterday”

she looked around “But I flew. I really flew. I flew all around and everywhere.” she said unable to control her voice.

“Yes, you did, didn't you, and was so much fun wasn’t it” a familiar voice answered.

“What, who said that?” Screwball asked confused.

“You did. Are you feeling alright?” Said the nurse concerned.

“I did” Screwball heard in her head, it was the same voice as before.

“Who are you?” screwball asked the voice.

“I'm Nurse Redheart” the nurse said still confused. Screwball figured that only she could hear the voice.

“Why I'm Discord, spirit of chaos and disharmony, of course”, the voice replied.

“I think I need a moment alone”, Screwball said finally addressing the nurse.

“Alright” the nurse said with a look of distrust.

“What do you want? Wait, I thought you were defeated” Screwball inquired.

“I was, and I'm also trapped in stone. And all I want is to help you to find your destiny.” discord said in a hypnotic voice.

“What destiny would that be?” said Screwball confused.

“All in good time” the draconequus said in response.

***

“I want to see you, your body, I mean”

“It’s all the way in canterlot though and that’s such a long way away”

“I don’t care, I want to see it where is it?”

“I already told you, Canterlot.”

“Where in Canterlot?”

“The Canterlot Gardens”

***

Discord had convinced Screwball to take a train to canterlot to see the statue he was encased in. “So how is it that I can hear you, if you're a statue?”
“Just because i’m stone doesn’t mean I’m not conscious.” he answered. “I was in your mind once, so it’s only natural that I can come in again.”
“OK but even if that's true, how am I supposed to help you?”
“As I said before, patience.”

***

“So this is what you look like, huh” Screw ball said feeling skeptical. She had finally arrived at the garden where discord had been returned to.

“It’s not my most flattering pose, I’ll admit” the draconequus replied sarcastically.

“So can you hear me through you actual ears right now”

“Well you are right there so yeah i can hear”

“So what do i have to do now that we’re done with this?”

“I don’t know, but i’m sure i can find something for us to do”

“Everyone knows you don’t do anything just because you feel like it, you probably have it planned out already.”

“Who are you talking to, miss?” the colt behind her inquired.

“NOPONY! NOPNY AT ALL!” she said maybe a bit too loudly. The colt walked off given her a strange look.

“Ah, but isn’t that what chaos is all about. Doing whatever you want whenever you want to”

"no, it's about always doing stupid things in stupid places"

“Oh, come on chaos is great, you'll see”

" i doubt it"

***

"So why did you choose to come into my mind in the first place?” screwball inquired

“I thought it would be fun”

“And was it?”

“Of course, you should have seen your face, priceless.”

“Well it wasn’t any fun for me”

“Well maybe it didn’t need to be any fun for you.”

***

“Sleep? Why would you want to sleep when there’s so much more chaos to be done at the night?” the draconequus in her head asked

“I have practice in the morning”

“practice for what”

“Baseball, of course”

***

“Strike one” the umpire announced.

“shut up I need to concentrate.” Screwball said under her breath.

“It’s not my fault you can’t hit a ball.”

“Strike two”

“I said shut up” she whispered.

“Strike three, you're out”

“This is your fault” Screwball muttered. She was much better at pitching than she was at batting, but she still didn’t like striking out.

A New Dog

“What was that?” Screwball asked as she woke up. She could hear that it was raining and thundering, but something else had woken her up.

*Bark* *Bark* *Bark*

“Is there a dog outside? Discord what’s going?”

“How should I know?” he retorted.

*Bark* *Bark*

Screwball got up and walked over to the door and open it. “Oh,” she said after opening the door, sitting in front of her was a blue mare “Hello there, I thought I heard a dog out here, did you see one”

*Bark* *Bark*

“Oh...I guess that was you then huh” Screwball asked, this time not expecting an answer.

*Bark*

“I thought so”

“Oh will you shut up already” Discord said getting aggravated.

“Discord is this your doing?”

“No, not everything strange around here is because of me you know, somethings just happen on their own”

“Come on let’s get you inside and out of this rain”

***

Once screwball got the mare inside, she dried her off with a towel. “I don’t suppose you could tell me your name huh?” She notice a white band around the strange mares hoof. “What’s this?” she said lifting up her hoof to eye level. On it a name was written “Screwloose” she read aloud.

“let’s keep her” Discord chimed in

“What would I feed her?” She argued

“She’s still pony, feed her whatever you eat”

“Well, where will she sleep?”

“On your bed of course” he retorted

“What if someone comes looking for her, or if someone sees her what do I tell them?”

“We’ll figure it out when it comes to it”

“Alright then, we’ll keep her for now” She yielded

“Great! Why don’t you go get her some food”

“I guess I’ll go see what i have" Said the earth pony submissively.

***

Screwloose was thoroughly enjoying some hay fries though she was eating it like a dog.

“Well I’m going back to bed now, it’s been a long day for me. Come on screwloose.”
