The Feeling

It was a bright, sunny day in Equestria.  The birds were singing, the bees were buzzing, all was peaceful, that is, except for the chaos that surrounded Golden Oak Library.  "Stay still!" Twilight yelled at her patient.  Ever since Discord was reformed, Ponyville got a visit from the princess of chaos, Screwball, and every time she visited, Twilight would experiment on the filly, studying her abilities in every way possible.  But there was one problem, Screwball couldn't stay still.  Screwball yelped as Rainbow Dash held her down firmly.  "Stop squirming!" She yelled at the struggling Screwball.  "Get off of me, Dashie!" she replied and threw Rainbow off of her, clearly having enough.  Twilight groaned with frustration.  "Screwball, PLEASE let me run a few tests!" She begged the chaotic filly.  Screwball sighed loudly with annoyance.  She sat down and Twilight began to attach multiple cords to her body.  "Whenever you're ready." Twilight said to the filly, and sat down beside the fax machine patiently.  Screwball sighed and began to work her powers, which were then sucked through the cords, into the fax machine.  Papers began to fly out of it, now having wings.  While Twilight was trying to catch the papers, Screwball ran out the door, heading towards Fluttershy's cottage.

Screwball stopped in front of a small white bunny, known as Angel.  She looked at him for a moment before scratching behind his ears and knock on the door.  Fluttershy smiled as she opened the door to see Discord's daughter.  "Oh, please come in, that is, if you don't mind, please." she quietly said and moved out of the way so Screwball to come in.  Screwball hugged Fluttershy as she walked inside.  Fluttershy was like a big sister to Screwball, so she treated her the same way.  Once she was inside, she saw her daddy munching loudly on paper.  Though, when Discord noticed Screwball standing there, he dropped the bowl and picked her up, hugging her tightly.  Yes, Discord was one of those dads, the best kind.  Screwball squeaked as he practically squeezed the life out of her.  Discord let her go and smiled down at her.  For hours Screwball and Discord talked and laughed.  Fluttershy sighed as she watched him toss Screwball into the air and caught her, followed by giggled and happy squeals from Screwball as he tickled her.  He's a real sweetie once you get to know him, she thought to herself.  Though the others may disagree, they would never know him like she did.  The Pegasus giggled as Screwball began to tickle Discord, making him laugh loudly.  Though she would never tell her friends, she had developed emotional feelings for the chimera.  She found herself blushing just thinking about.  She had to admit, she had a crush on Discord.
