The Elements of Chaos Book IIII The Second Generation

Screwball was visiting Star Dim and her family. They had just gone out shopping when she came across Topsy Turvy. They both bumped into each other and looked into each others eyes. "Oh, are you Topsy Tuvry?" Screwball asked. Topsy Turvy nodded. "Yes indeed. Your Srewball right? We danced at the Gala last week. What are you doing in Canterlot?" Screwball giggled. "I'm visiting my friends. Their parents live here." Topsy Turvy nodded. "Oh, that sounds like fun. How long are you staying?" Screwball tried to think. "A few more hours. I'm just here for the day. Do you live here?" Topsy Turvy nodded. That's when Screwball noticed he was wearing a beanie hat, just like hers. "Is that your hat? You weren't wearing it when I met you." Topsy Tury played with the hat and watched as the propellor spinned. "I've always had it. I just was not wearing it at the Gala. It's my favorite hat but Mom says it was to silly to wear at such a formal occasion." Screwball frowned. "My Daddy lets me wear whatever I want. We both try to see who can come up with the silliest outfit. But Moms friend Star Dim made everyone dresses, so I wore it with my hat." Topsy Turvy grew closer. "You look really cute with that hat, and those sweet purple eyes." Screwball blushed. "Thanks, my Daddy loves my eyes and says that I should be proud of them." Topsy Turvy smiled. "You should, they look like delicious lollipops!" Just then Screwball heard Star Dim call out to her. "Screwball darling, hurry please! I don't want to lose you, and your father will be very angry with me if I don't bring you back soon in one peice." Screwball nodded. "Coming Aunt Star Dim! I need to go, bye Topsy Turvy." Topsy Turvy squeezed her. "Bye Screwy." Screwball ran towards Star Dim. "I see you have a little colt friend. Who is he?" Screwball's face turned red. "Oh, his name is Topsy Turvy. And we're just friends." Star Dim laughed. "Don't lie to me young lady. I saw your mother give your father the same look when we were younger. You like him don't you?" Screwball shrugged. "Maybe a little, I guess." Diamond Rings eyes grew wide. "Oooo! Screwball has a crush! Screwball has a crush!" Star Dim glared at him. "Don't be rude Diamond Ring. It's not nice to tease others about their feelings for other ponies." Screwball smirked. "Especially because we all know you have a crush on my sister." Then everypony laughed. Diamond's face turned a bright red. "No I don't! She's just......a little pretty that's all." Silverpants walked out of the shop and found everypony laughing. He looked at Diamond Ring. "Alright, what did you do this time?" Star Dim sighed. "It's alright dear. We were just having a laugh. An now that your finished we can continue with our day. Come along everyone."

Screwball came across Topsy Turvy later that day. Just as she was about to get on the train to go home Topsy Turvy came running over to her. He was almost out of breath. "Screw.......ball.......I found......you." Screwball looked at the train. "What are you doing here? I need to hurry." Topsy Turvy nodded. "I know. I came to give you this." Then he gave her a small box. Screwball smiled. "Thanks, what is it?" Topsy Turvy spoke very quickly. "Open it when you get home and you'll find out. Now hurry I don't want you to get stuck here." Screwball nodded and slowly walked towards the train. When she found an empty seat she glared at the box that Topsy Turvy gave her. She wondered what was inside, then she sighed. Her eyes quickly grew wide. "Aunt Star Dim was right! I really do like him!"

By the time Screwball got home Stellaluna and Disharmony rushed outside to see her. "Hey Screwball! How was it visiting Canterlot?" Disharmony asked. Screwball smirked and spoke in a very rude accent. "Oh it was simply divine. Everything was charming." The three of them laughed. Stellaluna smiled. "I enjoyed my visit with Flutterbreeze, Aunt Cotton Feathers, and Butterscotch." Disharmony laughed. "And my visit with Aunt Discorded Swirls, Blazing Dash, Chaotic Blaze, and Rainbow Swirls was a blast!" Then Discord came out. "Well, well it seems Star Dim did send you back. You were gone for so long I thought she was planning on keeping you!" Screwball laughed. "Even it she had, I still would have come back because you are the best Dad in the world." Screwball then gave Discord a hug. Discord smiled and wrapped his paw around his daughter. "Thank you Sweetheart." Just then Moonlight came flying out. "Oh Screwball! You're back!" Screwball ran over to her mother and gave her a tight hug. "Mom! I missed you soooo much." Moonlight smiled. "I missed you too. But.....your hugging me a little..........too.......tight......." Screwball let to quickly. "Sorry!" Then everyone laughed.

That night when Screwball went to her room. She took out the small box that Topsy Turvy gave her. She gently pulled off the ribbon and opened the box. When she looked inside she gasped. Inside was a small note and a small purple jewel. Screwball opened the note and read it out loud in a quiet voice. "Screwball, I found this purple jewel recently and I wanted you to have it. It reminds me of you in many ways, it's purple color like your beautiful eyes, the way it sparkles and shines just like you, and it's unique shape and color, just like your unique ablilities and talents. You mean many things to me and ever since I met you my life has never been the same. You complete me and I hope you know that. Topsy Turvy." Screwball looked at the jewel and smiled. It was very beautiful and he thought she was beautiful. Screwball placed the jewel underneath her pillow and shut her eyes as she crawled into her bed. "Goodnight Topsy Turvy." Meanwhile Topsy Turvy was getting into his bed and sighed. "Goodnight Screwball."
