A True Family
Chapter Six: Nightmare Night
Previous ChapterNext ChapterScrewball burst into the living room, tears falling down her cheeks, the kids turned away from the T.V
“Screwy? What's wrong? “ asked Apple Bloom
“Discord's getting rid of Fluttershy!!! “ Screwball lamented
“WHAT?! “ exclaimed the others
“This CAN'T be HAPPENING “ cried, Sweetie Belle
“He CAN'T do this “ whined Applebloom
Button mash said nothing, Scootaloo then entered the room
“Sheesh, did somepony die? “ asked the pegasus
“No, but Discord's getting rid of Fluttershy “ groaned Button Mash
“WHAT?! what did Fluttershy ever do to HIM!? “
“Nothing, but he doesn´t like her, “ said Screwball
they all sighed heavily, suddenly they heard a voice from the other room.
“What's going on? I'm NEVER like this “
“It sounds like Discord, “ said Screwball
“Let's go check it out, “ said Scootaloo, the others made their way to the other room, except for Button Mash
“But I want to find out what Mr.Fox says to the chicken “
Sweetie Belle rolled her eyes,
“Button Mash, this is a KIDS show, plus it's educational “
“But I NEED to know, “ he said, suddenly the others pulled him away from the T.V
“NO, PLEASE, GUYS I NEED TO KNOW “
Discord paced back and forth, he couldn't understand why he felt so strange, was it something he ate?
“Discord?“ asked Screwball
Discord jumped, then he furrowed his eyebrows
“Stop SCARING me Screwball, I need to think“
“About what?“ asked the kids
“Well...I heard Fluttershy singing, and well...I feel quite strange, it's almost like I want to hear it again“
The children started to giggle, Discord put his paw and claw on his hips
“What's so funny?“
“Nothing-wait, you mean you haven't kicked Fluttershy out yet?“ asked Screwball in surprise
“No“
Screwball cheered
“YAY, we can go trick or treating!!!“
Discord just stood
“What?“
“Oh well, Trick-or-treating is something you do on a holiday called nightmare night, nightmare night is-“
“I KNOW what it is, but who said I'd take you?“
“Nopony, Fluttershy said she'd take us“
“WHAT?! Without MY permission?“
“Well, yeah, but if you come we'd have a LOT more fun“
“Nothing you say will get me to go take you outside this castle“
Screwball smirked
“If you take us, I won't show Fluttershy your child pictures“
Discord´s eyes dilated
Fluttershy trotted out of her room, feeling nervous, but she smiled at the children dressed up in their costumes
“Is everypony ready to go?“
“YEAH!!!“ exclaimed the kids, Screwball was dressed as a baseball player, Apple bloom was dressed as a farmer (Big surprise) Button Mash was dressed as a pirate, and Sweetie Belle was dressed as a Princess, Scootaloo was dressed up too, she was wearing a blue uniform with yellow lightning bolts and goggles. Fluttershy was dressed as a nature goddess.
“Dad, are you ready to go?“
Discord groaned, wishing he knew why he kept his childhood photos in the first place, and that Screwball didn't learn how to summon objects and get past barrier spells, particularity the one he had around his bedroom.
“Yes“
then a gray pony walked out, he had a black spiky mane and a tornado cutie mark
“AHH, STRANGER DANGER“ shouted Button Mash as he hid behind Sweetie Belle
“Mash, that's just dad, he just changed form“ said Screwball
Discord looked at Fluttershy, then looked away, then he swiftly turned his attention towards her again, he felt heat rush to his cheeks, thank goodness she didn't notice
“Alright, let's go,“ said Fluttershy, as she opened the door and walked outside, the children and Discord trailing back behind her.
