The chaotic baby

Discord flow around looking for something to do when he stopped a blue mare with sliver mane. He grinned and turned her into a pony acting dog. The mare began running around chasing her tail and barking at cats running around. Then he flow off to make more chaotic cotton candy clouds. As he tried to change their colors, one of them glowed randomly. It began to mold into something using Discord's powers.

The pink mold soon fromed a newly born filly as far as Discord could see. He was shocked that his powers could do this. When the molding was done, most of the pink left to reveal a pink baby filly wearing a curly mane and tail that was purple with streaks of white. It's eyes were closed at the moment. The filly slowly descended to the ground.

Discord was in even more shock and went up to the little filly. As he did, the filly's eyes opened to reveal endless swirls of purple. At this he knew, that the filly was a creation of his magic. But what should he do with her after all it was also a matter of time till Twilight got her friends back to normal. The filly looked around and then saw Discord instantly thinking that he was her daddy like most babies would. The filly cooed at him in her baby voice before going to suck her hoof.

''Aw. Your my daughter but I can't have you. But I will name you,'' He clicked his fingers at a heart locket appear around the filly's neck saying the word 'Screwball' which was now the filly's name. Screwball looked at her locket. ''You keep that,'' He made a basket appear and slowly placed Screwball into it.

He carried to basket to a now empty library. Slowly he placed it down and covered Screwball with the blanket that was in it. He frown and went off for more chaos before Twilight and her friends turned him to stone which wouldn't be long since it wouldn't take long for Twilight to sort her friends out.

Twilight got off the train along with her friends who smiled at her. Pinkie yelled as Twilight went home.

''Bye, bye Twi!''

She walked home. She and her friends had only just gotten back from turning Discord into stone and being cheered at by most of the ponies in Ponyville, Cantorlot and Cloudsdale. As she walked up, she saw a basket left on her doorstep.  She looked around for a possible owner to this mysterious basket. She saw nopony and walked closer to it. The blanket over the basket began moving around and odd noises came through the white blanket.

Her horn glowed and the blanket moved to reveal a light pink baby filly not wearing any diaper. The filly's mane was thick and curly that was purple with streaks of white but what shocked Twilight the most was that the filly's eyes had no pupil at all just a endless swirl of purple. She didn't know what to do. Call somepony or take it in, as she thought she noticed a golden heart shaped locket around the filly's neck that said the word 'screwball' hinting that was the foals name.

She picked up the basket holding the baby with her magic and took it inside. She went upstairs and saw Spike there already looking through something and turned around to see Twilight but didn't fully see the basket carrying Screwball.

''Twilight your back!'' He yelled and went to hug her but saw the basket and the filly. ''Who foal is that?''

''I don't know Spike. All i do know is that her name is Screwball and she a baby. You wouldn't mind having another basket next to your's would you?'' Spike thought about it for a few seconds and said.

''I wouldn't mind at all since it's a baby we're talking about,'' Twilight smiled.

''Thanks Spike,'' She carried Screwball and the basket up to where he bed was and put it down next to spike's basket. The filly cooed gently probably wanting to know where her parent's were. Twilight created a white diaper and placed it on the little one then creating a bottle of milk to feed Screwball. Screwball smiled and drank the milk as it was being offered.

Twilight was still unsure what she should do about the child. But for the meanwhile, she would keep her. She watched Screwball drink her milk the noticed something. The milk was no longer white, it was a chocolate brown which had to mean that it was Chocolate milk which was what Discord made fall over Ponyville.

Twilight was shocked, did this filly named Screwball have Discord's powers? She wasn't sure but it defintly seemed like it but how would that be possible and why would Discord leave her on Twilight's doorstep if she had hes powers. Nothing made sense.

''Does she have Discord's powers?'' Said Twilight to herself. She frowned gently and moved the blanket in Screwball's basket up to her chin. Screwball looked outside and saw the time and was instantly tired to the point she lay down and was gone before anypony could stop her.

Spike came up the staircase and got into his bed as Twilight gave Screwball a blue teddy bear with yellow eyes. Twilight got into her bed after this

''Twilight what are you gonna do with her?''

''At the moment, I'm gonna look after her and see what happens,'' Spike nodded and said.

''Since it's you Twi, I'm sure whatever happens will be good,'' Twilight smiled.

''Thanks Spike. Your a good friend,'' Spike drifted off to sleep and Twilight looked at Screwball who was now sucking on her hoof and hugging the blue teddy bear while sleeping. She smiled and soon was asleep too.

Meeting the rest of the mane 6

Twilight woke up during the middle of the night from crying, loud crying. She jolted up and looked around confused at the noise when her purple eyes landed on the crying pink earth baby in the basket. Everything from the day before came back to her and she slowly got off the bed and picked up the basket and carried it downstairs with her magic.

She gently put the basket down on her kitchen table and went to the stove. She made a bottle appear and slowly filled it with chocolate and milk since she didn't want the child to turn it to chocolate milk again. She stirred it and then headed it to Screwball who instantly latched herself onto the nip and drinking the chocolate milk.

Twilight smiled but frowned at the thought that this might well be Discord's daughter. Screwball was young small and young, how could it be possible? is what she thought through. After Screwball finished, Twilight noticed that she was still crying and went down to the diaper that she had put on. It was wet so plugging her nose with a nose peg made by magic, she changed it.

Screwball noticed this and smiled happily. Twilight smiled briefly before turning her attension to taking the baby back upstairs. Her horn  light with purple light and the baby's basket floated into the air holding the same glow of light as Twilight slowly walked up the stairs, it followed her. She placed the basket next to Spike's. Spike was in deep sleep so didn't notice.

Twilight smiled and looked down at Screwball who was now sucking on her hoof cutely. Screwball soon yawned taking her hoof out of her mouth before putting it back in and falling to sleep. Twilight smiled and went into her own bed and followed swiftly.

Twilight woke up and looked over to Screwball smiling. Spike's bed was empty meaning he was making breakfast or cleaning the library up. Screwball's unnatural eyes opened slightly to reveal the swirls. She began sucking her hoof as if to say 'feed me! I'm hungry'. Twilight smiled and got up picking the filly up this time instead of the basket since there really was no need.

Twilight's thought was right. The library was sparkling clean and Spike was in the kitchen making breakfast. He turned around and other a little 'morning'

''Morning Spike. Can you make some chocolate milk too?'' Spike looked at her confused.

''Chocolate milk? After the incident with Discord?'' Screwball who was waiting for her milk heard the word Discord and became confused.

''I know Spike but this one loves it'' Looking down at a now giggling Screwball. Spike signed and did so along with Twilight's daisy and daffodil sandwich. Once he finished, he carried them over. Twilight smiled.

''Thanks Spike'' She levitated to bottle as she feed it to Screwball. She ate her sandwich with some more magic. Screwball was delighting sucking on the bottle's nip to get the milk. Twilight finished and looked at Screwball who was ready for a burp. She smiled and picked the child up and burped her.

Spike washed up and asked Twilight.

''Twi. What you gonna do today with her?''

''Take her to meet our friends do you wanna come too?''

''Yeah I will come''

''Okay but first i need you to go ask Mrs cake if she has any baby carries spare''

''Oh it sister''

Spike left and Twilight smiled looking at the little baby who cooed at her probably thinking that Twilight was her mommy now. Twilight frowned at the thought but she would look after the child.

''Okay Screwy I'll be your mommy for the time being'' She didn't know how long it would be for but this child need somepony to look after her. Spike ran in carrying a double baby carrying.

''She didn't have a single''

''It's okay Spike I could just put you in there''

''No! Ain't happening!''

''You sound like Apple Jack'' But she smiled and Spike hoped on her back as she slowly placed Screwball into the baby carrier that was now settled on her back. The unicorn trotted out of the home.

Twilight walked down the street to sugar cube corner. Pinkie Pie was bouncing around inside running around looking after the store while Mrs Cake had to stay in bed and Mr Cake had to many delivers. Twilight smiled and went over.

''How Mrs Cake Pinkie?''

''Oh she's fine. The foal is annoying her and what's that'' She asked catching slight of the pink, purple and white filly.

''Oh this is Screwball''

''Who's the father?'' Said Pinkie jumping to the conclusion that Screwball was Twilight's.

''She..isn't mine Pinkie. I think she's Discords....'' Pinkie gasped.

''How?!''

''I don't know..'' Pinkie nodded.

''You going to tell the others?''

''Yes I am wanna come?''

''I can't. To much to do'' Twilight nodded and walked out smiling. Next up was sweet apple acres.

Twilight made it to see both Rainbow Dash and Apple Jack there.

''Morning girls!'' She said walking over. They looked at her and smiled.

''Morning Twilight. Wait what's that?'' Seeing Screwball.

''Oh her she's screwball..I think she's Discord's daughter..'' The elements of honesty and loyalty gasped.

''Really?''

''I don't know for sure but her eyes and she has show some powers when she an earth pony'' She picked the filly up with her magic and showed the two. They nodded.

''What you gonna do with her?''

''Probably raise her as if she was mine then no pony would know other then you guys''

''Okay''

''Bye I'm going to Rarity's then Fluttershy's now'' They waved as she walked off carrying Screwball.

Twilight walked up the path to the Rarity's boutique. Rarity was wearing a pair of red glasses and sewing something. She saw Twilight and smiled.

''Twilight darling good morning''

''Morning Rarity''

''What are you doing here?''

''I want you to introduce you to....'' She lifted up the little baby and showed Rarity who was dumbfounded ''Her''

''Wait. Wait! Who's the father?!''

''Um I'm not her mom and I think that she is Discord's daughter...'' Rarity gasped. Fluttershy who wanted a dress came walking in to see Rarity looking at Twilight in shock.

''Um am I interrupting anything...''

''No your not Flutters'' Said Rarity.

''And who's this adorable baby?'' She ran over to Screwball.

''She's Screwball...I think she's Discord's daughter....'' Fluttershy stayed quiet but her face said that she was in shock. She eventually talked.

''But how?''

''I do not know but I'm gonna look after her as if she's mine'' Fluttershy nodded and so did Rarity who had finally came out of shock.

''Okay Twilight. It's your idea so I'm not gonna stop you'' Said Rarity.

''Thanks guys..''
