My Little Accident?

CHAPTER 3: EENY MEENY MINY MOM?

Outside the castle, Twilight and Spike stood beside Calamity on one opposing end while Discord and Fluttershy stood on the other.

Twilight glanced down at Calamity before nervously scratching at the back of her mane. It was obvious she was uncomfortable with this whole situation as she stood behind the draconequus. She raised a hoof, wanting to touch her, to confront her with her concerns but she hesitated. She just kept that hoof raised, unable to actually touch Calamity for some odd reason. Was she still troubled by the idea of being the mother to this child that was undoubtedly hers? She looked guilty, and gazed towards the ground in that moment.

"What's wrong Momma?" Calamity glanced back at Twilight in curiosity.

Twilight flinched. That word again. She was a mother now. It was no different from Spike right? She avoided eye contact.

Spike sat, still with a full belly as he burped. "H-Hah, i-it's over Calamity. There's no way you can beat Discord!"

Calamity looked on over at Spike as she stared blankly at him. "You want Uncle Discord to win?"

Spike raised a claw as if about to confidently state something before he hesitated and then questioned himself. "Well um, yea sure? If Discord wins you have to do whatever he says!" He stood up smirking. "And that'll get you to finally listen to us!"

Calamity just continued to look at Spike blankly before glancing over at Twilight. "What about you Momma?"

Twilight's eyes saddened as she muttered. "Um, I don't know actually." She approached Calamity. "L-Listen Calamity. I know you're young and you want to play, but, please reconsider this. You're talented but, so is Discord. I don't want you do this." She hesitantly placed a hoof on Calamity's shoulder before smiling a little. "I, well, I am your mom after all right?" She still seemed uncomfortable.

Calamity hugged Twilight and nuzzled into her happily. "Yes! I love you Momma!"

Twilight felt as if she'd melted in that moment as she turned beat red. She trembled a little before raising a hoof and pulling the draconequus closer into her as she still wore a look of uncertainty. "I, I like you to Calamity. You're really sweet."

Calamity peered up at her with wide eyes. "Mhmm! I'll do anything for you!"

Twilight now looked upset. "T-Then why won't you listen to me? I told you, I need you to listen."

Calamity smiled wide. "Because I like you Momma! And if I don't make you, you won't spend time with me!"

Twilight glanced to the upper right. "O-Oh, well, can you maybe um, let it slide just this once?" She gave a cheesy smile.

Calamity shook her head. "NOPE!"

Twilight frowned before glaring a bit at the draconequus.

Calamity pulled away from her before hurrying on over further into the field. "Okay! Watch me Momma!"

Twilight raised a hoof towards her hesitantly again before sighing with a frustrated groan. "Ugh!..."

Spike raised a brow at Twilight. "What's wrong Twilight?"

Twilight grumpily peered at the grass. "She won't listen to me! H-How can she sit there and call me mom and not even listen to what I have to say? I feel like the child right now. Not to mention she just walked into my life a few hours ago! It's just, unfair."

Spike blinked a bit. "Jeez Twilight, well um, yea I guess that is a lot to take in on a single day haha." He scratched the back of his head.

Twilight's expression sunk further. "A lot to take in!? Of course it's a lot to take in Spike! Not even Shining Armor has a kid yet and he's married! I-I don't even know how to be a mom. How do I deal with problems like this? You were never this bad when you were smaller!"

"And are you ready Uncle Discord!?"

Twilight and Spike looked to the field then, concentrating on the game between the two again.

Fluttershy cupped her muzzle with both hooves calling out to Discord. "Be careful Discord! Y-You to Calamity! Play nice!"

Calamity tossed a wave at Fluttershy. "Yes Ma'am!" She looked up at Discord as the two stood in the middle of the field.

Discord looked down at her grumpily before pointing at her. "Just because you're a draconequus doesn't mean you know how to use our magic! I have generations of experience on you! Don't think you can just waltz on in and take the spotlight from the King of Chaos!"

Calamity smiled up at him with a chuckle. "Yes Uncle Discord! Are you ready?"

Discord gritted his teeth before raising his claw and then pressing it against her forehead. "WHY! I'LL SHOW YOU!"

Twilight looked on as a fearful look suddenly overcame her but she remained silent with wide observant eyes.

Spike glanced over and up at Twilight, before paying attention to the magic duel again. "Worry worm."

Calamity just stood there as her eyes appeared hypnotized for a moment as she smiled up at Discord.

Discord pulled his claw back and smiled. "HAH! Too easy! And you call yourself a draconequus!" He crossed his arms and smirked to himself in confidence before glancing back at Fluttershy. "See Fluttershy? It looks like not all of us can be as capable with this magic!"

Fluttershy did indeed look surprised as she tilted her head to the right in confusion. "O-Oh my, t-that was fast."

Discord returned his attention to Calamity. "Now, dear little Calamity, why don't you admit who's the best draconequus of them all?"

Calamity muttered something inaudible.

Discord leaned in closer, still wearing his smirk as he spoke with a tone of delight. "Oh what was that? I couldn't hear you!"

Calamity chuckled before shouting with her mighty Canterlot voice. "MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!"

Discord immediately cringed before flying back from the sheer pressure of the voice itself and tumbling and rolling across the grass.

Spike, Twilight, and Fluttershy all had their ears covered as they looked on in shock.

Discord wobbled dizzily to his feet before shaking his head. "But, but that's-"

Twilight muttered. "The traditional Canterlot voice?..."

Spike glanced up at Twilight again. "I thought that was just a Princess Luna thing?"

Twilight continued to observe, paying close attention to Calamity's methods of magic. "I thought so to."

Discord scowled a bit before snapping his claw and a nearby bird became enraged, enlarging and turning into a more frightening version of itself. He pointed his claw at Calamity as the bird just charged the draconequus with a mighty echoing screech.

Calamity just stood there and the moment the bird arrived at her feet, it returned to its former self and casually flew away.

Discord blinked, before becoming increasingly frustrated. "Why yoooou!" Discord snapped again.

Chains wrapped around Calamity as she just stood there, blinking as she eyed the chains.

Discord snapped once more as a multitude of boxes appeared over Calamity, trapping her. "Oho, now try to weasel out of that one!"

The boxes all exploded as did the chains as Calamity just stood there doing twirls on one pony leg. "Fun fun fun!"

Discord bit his lower lip as his brow twitched and he just pointed his claw at the little draconequus and fired off a succession of spells.

The spells bounced off Calamity before she opened her mouth and swallowed one, then firing it back at Discord with a burp.

Discord immediately split himself vertically in half as he dodged the beam with a relieved look.

Twilight looked on as she squinted a bit. Calamity, she isn't using any magic. She's naturally able to reject his spells.

"What in the world is going on here!?"

Calamity, Discord, Fluttershy, Spike and Twilight all looked towards the sky immediately then.

Descending down and inbetween both draconequus was Princess Celestia as she was obviously upset. "What is the meaning of this? Why is there a magical duel between two of the most powerful creatures in Equestria going on in such close proximity to Ponyville!?"

Twilight's expression sunk as she shook her head. "P-Princess Celestia I-"

Princess Celestia looked on over at Twilight with concern. "And how could you just stand there and let it happen Princess Twilight?"

Twilight's eyes saddened as she lowered her head and sulked.

Princess Celestia glanced back at Discord. "And you Discord! You know better than to-"

"HEY! Don't you yell at Momma!"

Princess Celestia's eyes widened before she turned around and peered down at the little draconequus silently.

Twilight called out to Calamity. "C-Calamity, wait!"

Calamity was breathing heavily as she wore a distressed look.

Princess Celestia's surprised look never disappeared. "Oh yes, you. The new little draconequus, so you're her."

Calamity squinted as the princess loomed over her. "L-Leave Momma alone."

Princess Celestia raised a brow at Calamity before glancing over at Twilight then back down at her. "Momma?" She sighed only a moment later before she regarded the draconequus with a sad expression. "Now this all makes sense. Why you've decided to come here."

Calamity nodded with determination. "Y-Yes! I've finally found my Momma Princess Celestia! So you leave her alone! I will protect her no matter what, so, so you can't yell at her! Do you understand!?" She pointed her claw firmly at Princess Celestia in confidence.

Princess Celestia shook her head. "Do you truly believe Twilight is your mother little one?"

Calamity's eyes widened as she lowered her arm a little, wearing a slightly shocked look. "H-Huh?"

Twilight blinked a bit, just as confused.

Calamity continued desperately, swiping her arm. "O-Of course she's my Momma! I, I made sure of it!"

Princess Celestia sighed again. "Just because you are comprised of the magical energy of Twilight as well as Tirek does not make them your parents little one. You are also comprised of the magical energy of Discord, my sister, as well as myself and another. None of these things however mean that we're your parents. You are but the mass collection of raw magical power, the living form of cataclysmic energy."

Discord raised a brow at Celestia. "Wait, how did you know that!?"

Princess Celestia glanced over at Discord with disinterest. "I've known for quite some time Discord..."

Calamity took a step back shaking her head as she trembled. "B-But I-, Momma tell her!" She looked over at Twilight desperately.

Twilight however remained silent with wide eyes.

Calamity turned to face Twilight with a look of dread. "M-Momma?" She blinked, worriedly at the fact Twilight said nothing.

Spike blinked a bit himself as he glanced up at Twilight, nudging her. "H-Hey Twilight? Aren't you going to say something?"

Twilight in that moment glanced to her lower right with a look of guilt, still saying absolutely nothing.

Spike raised a brow at Twilight in confusion. "Twilight?"

Calamity's eyes went wide as in that moment as well, she just lowered her head and with a blank look. She turned around and sluggishly walked past Princess Celestia, and Discord who just watched her depart with a cold expression, saying nothing. She understood.

Fluttershy had her muzzle covered with both hooves as she just watched with a heartbroken look. "C-Calamity?"

Twilight was silent for some time more before she raised a hoof at Calamity. "Calamity, please wait, just because-"

Princess Celestia cut in with a delighted smile in regards to Calamity. "But this doesn't mean I can't adopt you either."

Calamity came to an abrupt halt, before sniffling and glancing back at Princess Celestia. "A-Adopt?"

Twilight froze as she raised a brow at Princess Celestia in shock. W-WHAT!?

Discord to looked over at Celestia, baffled. "CELESTIA!? What is the meaning of this? Do you know what you're doing!?"

Princess Celestia continued with half closed eyes and a caring smile. "Yes, it means I would officially be her mother."

Fluttershy appeared shocked at first, before a heartfelt smile overcame her and she sniffled.

Calamity turned around and looked up at Princess Celestia as tears began to fill her eyes to the brim.

Princess Celestia strode over to the draconequus child and pulled her into a tight hug. "I cannot imagine what you've put yourself through to get this far child. But even if this was not the end you imagined, it doesn't mean we can't reach a happy one, all of us, together."

Tears rolled down the little draconequus' face as she hesitantly, but inevitably returned Princess Celestia's hug.

Princess Celestia closed her eyes and ran her hoof through Calamity's white mane. "There there, it's alright." Before she glanced over at Princess Twilight and winked at her and then gave her a nod of understanding. She looked down at Calamity affectionately then.

Twilight still looked shocked however.

Spike nudged Twilight playfully in that moment. "Oh that crafty Princess Celestia! She knew you weren't ready for this sort of responsibility Twilight, so not only did she turn the situation around but she took care of the problem at the same time! Isn't this great?"

Twilight was silent as she just looked on at the two hugging with a blank look.

Spike raised a brow at Twilight before scratching at the back of his head. "Hey, um, Twilight you okay?"

Twilight remained silent as her brow just twitched as she just looked at Princess Celestia and Spike questioned again, "Twilight?"
