Chapter 10: Screwing Around ( Rewrite )

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Intro:

You went over to Screwball and see that she wasn't feeling good at all. Her body looks like it was about to vanish into thin air. You did one thing that will help and that is to free her with your guitar. You played an awesome riff with it as the magic starts to come out of the strings.

You played it loud and wildly while speaking in random gibberish.

After that, Screwball was getting up. Her hair became curly again, her eyes are starting to spiral and her colors were brighting up.

She did a cute yawn before turning around to see you. "Who are you?" She ask, tilting her head.

"My name is Soundcheck and I'm the one who saved you," you said, while putting your guitar away. "I use my guitar called Screwball to free you from the sirens."

You pointed to the left side and showed her the Dazzlings inside their wooden prison.

"This blows," Aria grunts.

"No it doesn't. They aren't dynamites," Sonata stated, like she was being a smartass.

This made Aria gritted her teeth and glared at Sonata. "Just shut up, Sonata."

You and Screwball couldn't help but laugh a bit at this. It's kinda funny seeing Aria like this. You both then look over and saw your friends getting up from their fight with them.

"Wh-what happen?" Lyra moans as she stretches her limbs a bit. The others did the same while getting up, they look at you and Screwball and then the Dazzlings.

Shining Armor examines your wooden pole prisons you summon with your magic. "Where did these come from?"

Princess Cadence then looks at Screwball and gives her a smile. "Hi, I'm-"

"I know who you are, Princess Cadence," She was shock to hear that as Princess Cadence covered her mouth. The others look surprise too, even you.

"Wait, how do you know her name?" Trixie ask.

Screwball made a pair of glasses appear on her face that have weird kaleidoscope vision on them and was dress like a teacher. "I know everything about everypony, Trixie," She replied, pointing at her. "Yes, I have learn to know everypony from all over Equestria for twenty hundred moons ago."

You all gasp at this before you spoke. "How old are you? Not that I'm being rude or anything."

She went back to her old outfit and look at you with a grin. She raise an eyebrow. "I'm thirty hundred and seven moons old."

"Wait a minute, you're thirty hundred and seven moons old?" you ask again with eyes widen and jaws drop.

"Well, yes. Also, I have met Starswirl before," Screwball replied, then look at the Dazzlings and glares at them. "And I know them too."

"Yeah, it's true. We have only met for like four hours ago," Adagio chimed in. Screwball looks back at you and then at your guitar. She stretches her eyes to get a better look before pulling them back in.

"Say, is your name Mitchel Hansen?"

You were stun when she ask you your real name. "Y-Yes."

"Then you must know that I can name everyone on earth too, even if I never talk to any of them sometimes and I went to your world like a million times from 1898 to 2016 and that's just my me time," Screwball said, spinning her head like top before stopping herself.

'This little filly has been in my world for a long time? OH MY GOD!' you scream in thought.

She then looks back at Screwball ( your guitar ) and rubs it a few times. "That's an amazing guitar. What do you call it again?" She ask, eyeing your guitar.

"Screwball. I named it Screwball," you answered.

Screwball gave you a weird look. "You name it after me?"

You nodded. "Yes I did," you can tell that she didn't like it when you name it after her, it's like giving a woman's name to your dog and that was considered insulting. "Do you like it?"

"No. You should change it to Screwball 2. It sounds a lot better," She replied, before magically putting a S and 2 on your guitar.

Before you can ask her, she made a device that looks like a cross between a remote control, a hose and a human nose. It stretches and sniffs at you before it sneezed snots at you.

"Ew," you said, looking at the snot all over your body.

Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, Lyra, Octavia, Big Macintosh, Vinyl, Trixie and even the Dazzlings were grossed out.

"That's gross," Trixie said, trying not to puke as she covered her mouth with her left hand.

Screwball giggles a bit. "Sorry, it's called a magic sniffer. It can pick something on what magic level a unicorn has. Soundcheck, your magic level is sixty percent."

'Sixty percent? I guess, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna didn't make me to powerful,' you thought, feeling a bit sad about that. She summon a bucket of milk on top of you and pour the milk out as it washes all the snot out of you and you were clean.

"Well...that's one way to wash it off," Vinyl said.

Screwball was okay to you but at least she knows better. you then pulled out Screwball 2 and Screwball walks up to you and taps on you arm. "Yes?"

"Can I join you?" She ask, all shy-like.

You look at her for a second and then nodded. "Yes."

Screwball ( the earth pony ) turns into a pink cloud and goes inside your guitar. You looked at where she has gone to. You couldn't see through Screwball but at least you know this filly was in there.

"Yo, did she just went inside your guitar?" Vinyl ask, lowering her shades in amazement. The rest of your friends were as stun as she was.

You lifted it up a bit and try to figure out how to get her out but couldn't. You put Screwball 2 on your back and just sigh. "Looks like she wants to stay," you said. "We need to leave the Everfree Forest at once. There's no time to ask why she wants to go inside my guitar, we'll worry about that later."

"Right, let's move out," Shining said, turning serious.

Lyra stops and looks at the Dazzlings. "What about them?"

You almost forgot about those girls. It was kind of rude of you to leave them alone and let them die in hunger, after all, you're not the bad guy. Your horn glows and it lifted up the wooden poles and toss them aside. The Dazzlings were making evil grins like they were excepting their luck to turn. Just as they were about to do something, you use your magic again and trap them inside three large bubbles.

"Are you kidding me?!" Aria shouted, trying to pop it but can't. They try to pop the bubbles that they are inside, but stop and they know that these were indestructible bubbles.

"Let's us out of here!" Sonata cried.

You wag your finger. "Nope, you three are staying here as you are our prisoners."

"Prisoners?! I hate this!"

"You can't keep us in here forever."

"Yeah, we're sirens and we won't be your prisoners."

"Well, I can't let you three go," you said with a smirk.

Adagio, Aria and Sonata pouted but Sonata smiled and did her best puppy dog eye face at you. "Mr. Mitchel, I was...wondering if maybe...we could join..uh..."

You stop her with your hand held up. "My name is Soundcheck and what were you about to say?"

You raise your eyebrow at what she was gonna say, everyone else did the same including Aria but Adagio just face palm. "To join your band?"

Aria and Adagio did a double take on what she said. "What!?"

"We can't trust them. She might be planing on a surprise attack," Octavia protested.

Vinyl steps in. "Yo, I'm not sure I trust her about this."

"I think we should just sent them to Princess Celestia, she'll know what to do," Trixie said, giving those three a nasty look.

You rub your chin for a second but stop as you got an idea. "So, you and your friends want to join my band huh?" Sonata nodded happily. "Okay, but you have to be on watch as Shining Armor is gonna keep an eye on you girls."

Shining's eyes went wide. "Hey, I didn't agree to watch them."

You turn to him. "Shining, you are a guard, you have to do this."

"I'm a Prince and a Captain of the Royal Guard and I don't know about watching them," He said, folding his arms sternly.

"Look, I know you don't like it, but you are the only one who can watch them and we might be able to reform them," Shining thought for a moment and sigh in defeat.

"Okay, I'll do it. But I won't like it," Princess Cadence came up to her Husband and patted him on the back to comfort him.

"I know it's tough, but maybe Soundcheck is trying to see if they are gonna be reform," Princess Cadence said warmly.

"We can hear you," Aria said from inside her bubble.

"Yes, if you think we're gonna be good, you fools are surely stupid," Adagio said, smirking.

"What about Sonata?" Lyra ask, pointing at her.

She looks over at her youngest sister who looks back at her with a cheerful yet goofy smile, Adagio rolls her eyes. "Sonata is half stupid."

"Hey!" Sonata shouted.

"Ha! Good one," Aria said, giggling at Adagio's commits.

You ignore that and pop their bubbles with your own horn. They landed on their feet ( except Sonata who landed on her butt ) and got up dusting themselves off. "So what's the catch?" Aria ask.

You made a clicking sound. "Before I tell you three what we are really planing, you girls are gonna join me in a song."

Adagio and Aria moans, but Sonata cheered. "Why do we have to sing?" Aria ask, sounding completely annoyed.

"Because I said so, unless you want to make something of it, I suggest you sing with me. Matter of fact, how about all of you join in by practicing with your instruments," you said, motioning to your friends to join you in band practice.

The others seem to be okay with that as they got their instruments out of the wagon. However, something was missing...Shining Armor and Princess Cadence don't have instruments.

"Where's your instruments?" Trixie ask them.

"I don't need any instrument, but I can dance if you like," Princess Cadence replied.

Okay, you guess it's okay for her to dance while you practice. "What about you, Shining?" you ask. "Do you have an instruments?"

He only shook his head. Then, Screwball 2 shot out a magic beam in the air and it forms into a keytar. It landed on Shining's hands as he looks at it in amazement.

"This looks like my keytar that I had from when I was a teenager," He said, staring at his own keytar from the past.

It really is nice to see his favorite instrument here. "Hey, are we gonna do any music or what?" Aria ask, impatiently.

That was one way of ruining a happy moment. you mumble to myself before giving her a cocky smile. "Well, since you ask 'nicely', yes. We are gonna play one of the best heavy metal songs ever."

"Ooh, what is it?" Sonata ask with wonder.

"It's called Fear of The Dark and I want everyone to follow my lead. Is everypony ready?" You turn around and see that they are ready as they smile at you.

But before you play your song, Big Macintosh raise his hand. "Didn't ya say, we have to leave the everfree forest? I mean, we can't play our song here right?"

You thought for a moment before speaking. "It will be fine, Big Macintosh. Besides, it fits perfect here. Now let's get started!"

you turn around and face forward and got my Pick of Destiny out and Screwball 2 out too, you horn glows and you were ready to hum a tune while playing your guitar.

Your horn stops glowing and you all stop playing your instruments. You and your friends then hear clapping and a familiar voice from nowhere.

"That was one of the best music I've ever heard."


Author's Note

Screwball ( the earth pony filly ) is the eighth, Aria is the ninth, Sonata is the tenth and Adagio is the eleventh to join his band and are now complete.

I wanted the Dazzlings to be reform so they can be heroes too and learn how to be nice ( even though Sonata is already nice sometimes ).

I did some editing, like having Soundcheck and Screwball sing Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz. But I edited that part out because I don't think the lyrics would match them.

If you like Van Canto, give me a Hell Yeah!

Imagine Screwball being voiced by Tara Strong
