Screwball: Pony of Chaos

It's a beautiful day and Screwball is enjoying a normal day at school with her friend Dinky, Derpy's daughter. The two are just talking in their private little corner when two bullies walk up to them. One, a colt named Gold Dust, slaps Derpy across the face. This causes Screwy to go all crazy all over his hindquarters. One of the fillies, who just happens to be Cheerilee and Big Mack's daughter runs inside and grabs her mother. "Momma! Momma!" says little Honey Blossom. "Screwball just turned Gold Dust into a giant golden brick!" Cheerilee follows her daughter outside at a full gallop.

"Screwball," says Mrs. Cheerilee.

"Yes Mrs. Cheerilee," replies Screwball.

"Classroom. NOW." Screwball puts down her head and follows her teacher inside but not before returning Gold Dust to his normal pony state.

When Screwball walks into the classroom, she is greeted by her father, Mrs. Cheerilee, as well ad Gold Dust's mom, Mrs. Rich. She then takes a seat next to her father.

"Hey dad," says Screwball.

"Hey honey," he moans, "you know what I told you about using your magic in public, what your mother told you about using your magic in public. Ponies fear our kind. You know that."

"I know that, daddy," replies Screwball, "but he hit Dinky, what was I supposed to do? She's my best friend and I hate it when they pick on her. I had to do something."

"Doing something is called going and getting your teacher so she can punish them," replies Discord with a scowl on his face.
"That's the third incident this month, Screwball," says Cheerilee. "Just go home for the day. It's almost time for the bell to go home anyways."

Back at the Chaos Mansion that night, Discord, Fluttershy, and Screwball are eating dinner.

"You're lucky that she didn't expel you," says Discord, "you know that?"

"Yes daddy," says Screwball.

"What'd she do this time?" asks a concerned Fluttershy.

"She turned Mrs. Spoiled Rich's son Gold Dust into a gold brick," replies Discord.

"Honey, you know our rule," replies Fluttershy.

"I know momma," replies Screwball, "but he hurt Dinky. You gotta understand?"

"I understand all too well," replies Fluttershy. "Believe it or not, but I was bullied as a filly too, back when Dash and I went to Cloudsdale Elementary. She would stand up for me but she'd never slap anyone. She'd always go and grab the teacher."

"Okay mom, I see your point," replies Screwball. "Can I head off to bed?"

"Okay, sure," replies Fluttershy.

In her room, Screwball looks at her pictures of herself and her family and friends.

"Dad and I are always laughing in these pictures," sighs Screwball, "why would he of all ponies want me to hide my powers since he uses his whenever he chooses?" She runs her hoof over the picture. She then picks up another one of her and Dinky. "Dinky and I are always the cutest in pictures together, we're always smiling when we're in pictures together, no matter what happened that day, we'd always get over it over milkshakes and muffins at Sugar Cube Corner. She truly is Derpy's daughter." Screwball giggles then sets the picture back down. She then creates herself a cup of chocolate milk and drinks it before making the cup disappear again. At least in her room, she can use her magic as freely as she so chooses. A few hours later, Discord knocks on Screwy's door.

"Come in," says Screwball. Discord then enters the room.

"I hope you understand that I do love you and do enjoy your trademark chaos," says Discord as he comes over and sits on her bed.

"I know, daddy," replies Screwball.

"But you shouldn't use it in public unless you turn them into basketballs, that's always hilarious to watch," adds Discord. This causes Screwy to crack a smile and then the two bust out laughing. "But don't tell your mother I said that."
"I won't, I promise," replies Screwball followed by the Pinkie Pie swear. He then sings her to sleep with their lullaby, "Daddy Discord."

The next morning, Screwball is up before the sun. She then sneaks out to her secret little corner of the Everfree Forest. There, she goes swimming in her chocolate milk lake and enjoys gumdrops, candy canes, and chocolate milk to her heart's content. Here, she can be free from all the troubles at home and that always makes her smile. Here, she can always be herself because she knows no pony is watching. Alas, she wishes it could be like this all the time. Then, she'd never have to hide her powers...EVER...ever.
