The Princess of Chaos

Screwball, The Newly-declared Princess of Chaos

He is Discord. The Lord of Chaos, the Bringer of Disharmony, the King of Chocolate Milk, that is Discord. And this is the Chaos Era.

He was lying on a cotton candy cloud, sipping on a cup of chocolate milk. And by sipping on a cup of chocolate milk, I literally meant sipping on the cup, the chocolate milk left untouched. Defying the laws of physics, as usual. He sipped as he watched down below, ponies running everywhere, either hiding from the draconequus or from the living candy canes that kept chasing them around.

"And I thought little fillies like candy canes." He laughed as the ponies screamed and shouted. This was what he called fun. Chaos is fun.

As he finished sipping on his cup and not even laying a single talon in the chocolate milk (I mean, why would you even stick your fingers into the chocolate milk in the first place?), he threw the chocolate milk which appeared to be solid behind him. It then exploded.

Ponies shouted in fright once more at the sound of the explosion. This made Discord laugh even more. "Ponies. Startled by a chocolate milk bomb. Typical." he laughed.

He then saw a unicorn running in the rain while covering her mane. "AHHHH! DON'T TOUCH MY MANE YOU FILTHY RAIN!" shouted the unicorn. Discord laughed. He than had an idea. Snap. He snapped his talon.

The unicorn ran into her home, slaming the door. She sighed in relief but then realised something was dripping above her. She was confused and looked up. A cotton candy cloud was above her. It dripped little by little and then, it rained heavily on top of her.

"AHHHHHHH! MY MANE! MY FLOORS! AHHHH!" her scream can be heard from outside. Discord laughed even harder than before clutching his stomach.

"HAHAHAHA! SCARED WITH A LITTLE RAIN! PRICELESS HAHA!" he laughed.

It was great fun for him seeing his beautiful chaos spread all over town. But just doing it in one part of town, it was getting a little boring.

He then had an idea. "I wonder if the royal duo is bored without me. Whoever would Sunbutt talk to now without me in the gardens?" he said. He snapped his talon and a steering wheel and two peddles appeared on his cotton candy clouds. A number plate appeared on the back of the sugary cloud, saying 'chaos12'. He would've just stuck with 'chaos' but that was already taken.

He could've just teleported to the castle but he decided driving would be better since he could see the scenery of beautiful chaos while driving.

He buckled up his sour fruit belts and drove off. While he drove, he looked at the scenery.

"My word, I should be a designer. Cause this is fab-u-lous!" he said. He stopped his cloud and snapped his talon. A mini Discord appeared on his shoulders with a notepad. He seems to be writing something down.

"You got that?" asked the original Discord. The mini version of him held his hand up and gave him a thumbs up, meaning 'yes'. (I didn't know that I had to explain that to you, or not, but okay.)

He then continued driving and looked at the scenery. He then passed by a few chocolate birds. He felt the urge to grab one but didn't since he wasn't a carnivore. But he was part of alot of animals and some eat meat but he doesn't and I should stop babbling.

While driving, he heard a few yells. He snickered. I wonder who's yell that was. They sound like they're in a need for chaos. he thought as he drove down. "Well, don't worry! Chaosman is here to save the day! Get going, Chaos mobile!" He followed the direction of the yell. His hearing was sharp, to say the least.

He then reached the area of the sound. He spotted a bush and hid in it, not wanting to get spot.

In front of the bush he hid in was a group of ponies. He looked at the scene.

"Hey! Quit it!" said a little filly. She had white and purple swirls as her mane and eyes. Yes, eyes. Her coat was pink and she wore a propellor hat. Her cutie mark was a metal screw and a baseball. She was an earth pony.

She was surrounded by ponies, all looking at her with narrowed eyes. She herself looked like she was gonna cry.

"Why should we? Shouldn't a freak like you be used to this by now? " said a blue filly. He had white mane and was a pegasus. Discord could not see his cutie mark.

"Yeah, freak." taunted another filly beside him. He had a blue coat and blond mane. He was an earthpony.

"I'm not a freak. I'm just....... different." she said.

"Yeah. Differently stupid." said the blue filly as he got closer to her. She backed up a little. He then shoved the poor filly to the ground.

"Oops. With those swirls in your eyes, no wonder you would fall. What are you? Discord's child? Oh wait, you don't have parents!" he spat on the ground. The poor filly just cried. But then shook in fear and backed up.

The two bullies looked at her, laughing. "What's wrong? You looked like you've seen Discord." They both laughed.

"And what a great reaction it is." said a voice from behind. The two bullies stopped laughing. They froze.

"Z-Zainy? D-Did you h-h-hear that?" asked the blue filly, trembling as he feared of what was behind them.

"M-m-maybe?" said the brown filly, also trembling and questioning if he's hearing things.

"You two really need to get your ears checked because I've certainly heard something." said the voice once more. The two fillies trembled even more.

"F-Flight. I-I can't f-feel my h-h-hooves." said Zainy.

"Have you both not heard of manners? I'm talking here, hello~" said the voice again.

"O-oh my! W-would you look a-at the time? I g-gotta go now, b-bye!" said Flight, opening his wings to fly. He flew a few inches of the ground before tumbling down. He rubbed his head and realised that his wings, they're gone!

Zainy looked at his wingless friend, both scared and angry that he almost left him alone. And probably with Discord. "The nerve of young colts these days. No manners whatsoever."

"Oh, and Zainy, boyyo, I don't think it's 'probably'." said the voice. Zainy gulped.

Flight looked up and saw him. The mismatched creature, the Lord of Chaos, the Bringer of一yeah, I'm not writing it again. He was smiling widely behind his friend.

He trembled even more, possibly peeing himself in a few moments.

"Z-Zainy?" said Flight, too scared to move or he'll pee himself.

"W-what?" replied Zainy. Flight pointed behind him.

"B-behind you." said Flight, pointing. He gathered enough courage to look behind. He flip onto his back and saw Discord.

"D-d-d...." struttered Zainy, no more courage to talk anymore.

"Well, for one my name is Discord not d-d-d." said Discord.

"And second," said Discord as he snapped his talon. A script titled 'what bullies are supposed to do' which was probably stolen from my desk, just saying, appeared in Discord's arms. He snapped again and a monocle appeared on Discord's face. "now is your que to........ run." The two fillies didn't have to be told twice as they got up and ran.

A faint sentence of 'I think I just peed myself' can be heard from a distance. Discord laughed. He then remembered something else.

The poor filly laid there on the ground, not daring to move a muscle. She then felt something come closer to her, footsteps comeling closer. She shut her eyes tight.

"Are you alright, my child?" asked Discord as he crept closer to the shaking filly. The filly opened one eye to see Discord. She immediately closed her eye again.

She then felt her chin being raised. She opened her eyes to see the Lord of Chaos. He didn't give her a smile of mischief, he didn't do anything that scared her, he just gave her a smile as warm as possible as to not scare her.

She calmed down a little and sat up. He didn't seem harmful like everypony said he was.

Discord was pleased that the filly was calm now. He asked the filly again.

"Are you alright?" asked Discord. She was quiet for a while before nodding.

"What is your name, child?" he asked, wanting to show the filly that he wasn't trying to hurt her. She sat in silence before speaking, thinking if this was a good idea or not. He didn't seem harmful.

"You don't wanna know. It's a silly name." she said as she lowered her head.

"There are no silly names. My name is Discord. See? Your name can't be that bad." he said, seeing if he made her see her name as a name and not silly.

"You won't laugh?" asked the poor filly. Discord carried her up.

"I promise you, I won't laugh." said Discord, smiling his hopefully warm smile.

"My name is Screwball." she said.

"And what's so silly about that name?" he asked.

"Everypony said my name was silly and calls me crazy. My name is not even crazy, my name is Screwball." she said as her anger for those foolish ponies showed.

"Well maybe they are just jealous with how unique your name is." said Discord. Screwball giggled.

Discord then wanted to asked about the situation just now. "If I may ask, why were those two bullies bullying you. I thought this was the friendliest town in Equestria." asked Discord.

Screwball's mood dropped. She sighed. "They said that I was a freak and I didn't belong." she said.

"And why would they say that?" asked Discord, confused.

"My eyes are swirls, my cutie mark makes no sense and my name is silly." said Screwball, feeling sad.

"I thought your name was Screwball." said Discord, giving the weird filly a confused look.

"That's exactly my point!" she said.

"Well I for one think your eyes are interesting." said Discord. Screwball lit up a little.

"You really think so, Mr?" asked Screwball, litting up.

"I know so. Don't listen to those ponies. They're just jealous for how special you are." said Discord.

"Is that why everypony hates you?" asked the filly.

"Well since I have good looks there's no wonder they hate me so much." he said. The filly giggled.

Discord looked up to see the sun going down. Well actually it's a cardboard cutout of the sun but you get the idea.

"Well, I think it's time to go our seperate ways now. Can't leave them princesses hanging." he said as he tried to put down the filly. But then, he suddenly couldn't. He realised that the filly was hugging his chest, not letting go.

"Please don't, Mr Monster Man. I really don't want to go. Please let me stay with you." she said, still holding on tightly. Discord was certainly surprised that the filly did not want to leave.

"You really need to go home now. I'm pretty sure your parents are worried or whatever parents do these days." he said, snapping his talon. A spatula appeared and he tried to get the filly off him. Not working, it seemed.

"But I don't have parents." she said, her voice cracking. Discord then stopped whatever he was doing.

"What?"

"I don't have parents. I live alone out here. I don't have a home. And you, Mr Monster Man, you have been really nice to me. Please. Please don't let me go." she said, tears suddenly flowing as she cried.

Discord suddenly felt something. Something that he had never felt before. Well, maybe for a millennial. He felt pity. He felt pity for the poor filly. He knew how it felt. He knew from experience. And to know that these things don't only happen to him, but to others, he can't bear to stand knowing that.

He looked down to the filly on his chest. The filly was crying. His fur soaked in tears and snot.

He carried the filly again. He wiped the tears and the snot off her face with his talon. He then gave Screwball a serious look.

"Are you sure this is what you want?" he asked.

"Yes! Please, I beg you, yes!" she said.

"Really?"

"Yes!"

"Positive?"

"With whipped cream on top, yes!" she nodded eagerly.

Discord thought for a while. Her personality was certainly endearing. He then put his paw on her head.

"Hold still." he said. She was confused as to what he meant but then stopped as everything went white. A white aura surrounded her, a wave of energy entering her body. She could feel the magic energy shooting through her veins. Discord was focusing hard not to mess up, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

After a few minutes, it was done. He transferred some of his magic to her.

She opened her eyes to see a tired draconequus. "What happened?" asked Screwball, feeling a bit woozy.

Discord gave her a warm smile. "Well, uh, maybe I did turn you into the newly Princess of Chaos, and possibly making you my daughter. No biggie, right?" he asked.

Screwball eyes widened with surprise, before flung her hooves around him.

"Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you soooo much!!!!" she cheered. Discord chuckled as he returned her hug. This is what he needed all along. He just needed someone for him to love.

They hugged for a few minutes before letting go. "Shall we head home now, my little abomination?" he asked, holding his newfound daughter in his arms.

"Yes. Yes we shall, Daddy."
