Daughter of the brother Of Discord

Discord, Screwball and Chillcord were rolling on the floor laughing after their successful prank on Pinkie Pie. She had sat down for a second only to set off a giant whoopee cushion that mooed like a cow. She snorted along with them.

"Okay, you got me! Good one!"

Discord and Chillcord's laughter died down as their wives approached them.

"Up to your old mischief, We see," Fluttershy said.

They smiled nervously. "Well, I...just a little?"

"So I take it you're too busy for a dance?"

The Discord jumped up and grabbed her hooves. "Never!"

Screwball and Cherry Blossom watched as their parents glided across the dance floor. They also saw Dinky with Cinnamon Stick and Apple Blossom with Thunder Dash. Flurry Heart was dancing with some unicorn while Rainbow and Soarin were grooving. The romance in the air made Screwball sigh.

"Can you believe they finally got together?" Screwball asked her twin cousin.

"Thunder and Blossom or Dinky and Cinnamon Stick?"

"Both! Crazy, huh?"

"Well, it was about time, don't you think?"

"Yeah. If there was some pony special in your life or mine, then this really would be an eventful evening!"

"Right," Screwball muttered.

"Excuse me?"

The two mares looked up at the sound of a male's voice. It belonged to a brown unicorn stallion with blue eyes and blonde hair. He held out his hoof.

"May I have this dance, Miss?"

Screwball looked around and pointed to herself. "Me?"

"But of course."

She glanced at Cherry Blossom, who mouthed, "Go on!"

"Um..." Screwball stammered. "Sure."

Her alicorn cousin winked at her as the stallion led Screwball onto the dance floor. He bowed to her before pulling her in. The stallion was exceptionally light on his hooves, even when dancing on his hind legs! As he dipped her and Screwball got a glimpse of his eyes, she could not help but think there was something familiar about him.

"Have we met?"

The stallion smirked. "No, we're complete strangers."

He was lying.

"Are you sure?"

"Well, I know who you are."

"You do?"

"You're Screwball, daughter of Discord, the Lord of Chaos."

"Was it the eyes?"

"Actually, it was the gorgeous purple and white hair."

She raised an eyebrow.

"Okay, so it was the pretty lollipop eyes."

"You're just full of those, aren't you?" Screwball muttered.

The stallion chuckled. "You're as quick as you are attractive."

"You certain we've never met?"

"Hmm. We might have crossed paths once."

"Did you go to my school or something?"

"I doubt it. I was homeschooled."

"Homeschooled?" A certain someone came to mind, but she had to make sure. "What's your name?"

He leaned forward and whispered in her ear. "If I told you, you'd know I was lying."

When he moved away, his blue eyes flashed green. Screwball's pupils dilated.

"Mothball?"

He smiled. "There's no fooling you, is there?"

Cherry Blossom watched them from afar, but her ears drooped. She was expecting some pony to be there.

''Ahem.''

She turned around and saw a red stallion with brown hair and brown eyes.

''May I…have this dance, Milady?''

Cherry Blossom looked at his hoof, then at his eyes. She squinted, they looked so familiar. She smiled in realization and accepted his hoof.

''Why of course,'' she whispered the rest, ''Screwdriver.''

Screwdriver looked with wide eyes as she pulled him lovingly in the dancefloor. They were in the middle when Screwdriver asked:

''How did you know it was me?''

She opened her mouth to say something when the music stopped, and Apple Bloom spoke into the microphone.

"Y'all havin' a good time?"

The audience stomped their hooves and cheered.

"Well, now we're gonna bring it down a notch! Boys, it's time to grab yerr sweethearts for a little slow dance! Take it away, Sweetie Belle!"

"Ooh!" Pinkie piped. "Can we, Cheesy? Can we, can we, can we? It would be so romantic!"

Cheese Sandwich chuckled as he took her hoof. "Anything for you, my little joy buzzer!"

Soarin looked at Rainbow Dash. "Babe, I know how you feel about slow dances, but..."

"Hey, it's no problem," she said, pulling him close.

As the music played, Screwball looked into the eyes of the stallion before her. They were not Mothball's, but that did not change the fact that he was there.

"In a perfect world," Sweetie Belle sang, '' One we've never known."

Screwdriver placed his hooves on his partner's shoulders and they began to sway to the music.

"We would never need,

To face the world alone."

"We got your roses," Screwball whispered. "It was...sweet."

They remembered how thrilled had been to see the flowers on their windowsill. It got them thinking about why Mothball and Screwdriver kept coming to see them.

The disguised princes, meanwhile, was so transfixed on Screwball and Cherry Blossom's beauty. They had almost not recognized them at first, Screwball dressed in an elegant purple gown and without her propeller hat and Cherry Blossom in a beautiful Baby blue dress and a few flowers on it to represent nature. they were even prettier than they remembered.

Her purple and white curls bounced gracefully over her shoulders.

"They can have the world."

Her smile brought warmth to his chest.

"We'll create our own."

And the more Mothball gazed into those endless eyes, the more that warmth pounded inside his chest.

It was at this point in the song that Discord noticed the young couple.

"Screwball and Cherry are with..." Smoke blew from his nostrils. "BOYs?!"

''What?!'' Chillcord yelled, dropping the piece of cake he was eating.

His head was on the brink of exploding when the feeling of soft hooves against his fur calmed him down.

"Take it easy, honey," Tara said gently. "They're only dancing."

"But dancing could lead to hoof holding, and hoof holding could lead to cuddling, and cuddling could lead to kissing, and kissing could lead to...!"

"Chillcord!"

He sighed. "You're right, you're right. I shouldn't overreact."

But he kept his eye on them as the song continued:

"I may not be brave, or strong, or smart,

But somewhere in my secret heart,

I Know, Love will find a way,

Anywhere I go, I'm home, If you are there beside."

Mothball and Screwdriver were so lost in Screwball and Cherry Blossom's gaze that they did not realize they were floating off the ground. Screwball and Cherry Blossom were not even aware she was lifting them.

"Like dark, turning into day,"

The princes then glanced down and shrieked.

"Somehow, we'll come through, now that I found you,"

They wrapped themselves around Screwball and Cherry Blossom, who only giggled.

"Sorry. Sometimes we can't help ourselves."

"Love will find a way."

Mothball grinned awkwardly. "You never cease to amaze me."

"I was so, afraid"

As the song reached its climax, ponies began taking notice of the young couples in the air and watched with awe as the stallion gracefully spun the mare. Discord's teeth ground together so hard, they cracked in his mouth. Chillcord twitched his narrowed eyes as he watched his daughter dance with some creep.

Sweetie Belle saw the couples too and sang the next verse with passion:

"Now I realized,

Love is never wrong!

And so, it never dies,

There's a perfect world,"

After bringing them up from a dip, the four locked eyes again.

"Shining In your eyes

And if only, they could feel it too."

At that moment, it was only them and Sweetie Belle's angelic voice.

"The happiness,

I feel with you."

Mothball and Screwdriver flinched as Screwball and Cherry Blossom lay their heads on their chests. They could feel the love transferring from them to them. It felt stronger than last they met.

"They'd know,

Love will find way."

Reluctantly, they ran their hooves through their manes. They were as soft as cotton.

"Anywhere We go, We're home,

If we are there together."

"We missed you," They whispered.

"Like dark, turning into day,

Somehow, things come through,"

They tenderly lifted their heads so they could look into those eyes again. "We missed you too."

"Now that I found you! Love will find a way..."

Screwball and Cherry Blossom closed their eyes and leaned forward.

"I know, Love will find… a way…"

Mothball and Screwdriver panicked once they realized what they were trying to do. They moved their heads as far back as possible. When it was clear they were not going to give up, they put their hooves to their lips. Screwball and Cherry Blossom opened their eyes in confusion.

"Why don't we talk outside?" they whispered.

The applause brought her back to reality. Ponies were watching. their dads were watching in disapproval. They nodded in agreement.

"Where are they going now?" Discord asked as the couples floated back to the floor.

Chillcord growled as he watched them leave the ball room.

"Does it matter?" Fluttershy responded. "I think it's sweet that Screwball and Cherry's found a nice colt."

"But are they nice? Do they have a sense of humor? Are they good enough for my daughter and niece? What's their names? Do they even have names?! Why aren't Screwy or Cherry introducing them to us? WHO ARE THOSE COLTS?!"

"Honey, your temper..."

"Temper, schmemper! I want answers!"

He pushed past the ponies and followed the young couple outside.

''Go get em', Dissy!'' Chillcord cheered as he tried to follow.

"Okay," Mothball said as he, Screwball, Cherry Blossom and Screwdriver ducked behind a bush. "I don't think any pony will find us back here. Oomph!"

Screwball tackled him in a hug.

"Where have you been all this time?" Cherry Blossom asked them both.

"Can't breathe!" the prince wheezed.

"Oops." Screwball pulled away awkwardly. "Sorry."

"I'm sorry. Mother rarely let us out of the hive, and when she did, she kept a close watch on us with her guards." Screwdriver replied.

"How'd you slip away?" Screwball asked.

He shrugged. "Dances are the ideal hunting grounds for changelings." Screwdriver leaned forward. "Plus, we couldn't pass off a chance to see you again."

"Why didn't you tell us it was you in the first place?" Cherry Blossom asked.

"we were afraid someone might hear."

"Well, it's good to see you." Screwball blushed.

After a long pause, the gap between them diminished. Once Mothball and Screwdriver saw this, they instantly drew back.

"Screwball, Cherry, you can't!"

they scowled at them. "Why not?"

"Do you know what happens when you kiss a changeling?"

"No, but we're about to find out."

They stopped their next attempt with their hooves. "Screwy, Cherry, a changeling's kiss is very dangerous and can be life threatening! If we kiss you, we'll drain all the power from you like a sponge! It's bad enough that you're sitting so close to us!"

they crossed their forelegs. "How is that bad?!"

"we don't want to hurt you! Okay?"

They groaned in annoyance. "Fine. But...you know you don't have to hide from us?"

Mothball sighed. "Screwball, Cherry Blossom, someone might see..."

"We don't care! We want to see the real you! Please!"

"Well...alright."

They took a deep breath and their body erupted into green flames, transforming them to their changeling selves. their hair were longer, they were a few inches taller than them, and their muscles had developed. Any other pony would have found the sight of them terrifying, but not Screwball or Cherry Blossom. In their eyes, they were the most handsome stallions in all of Equestria.

Mothball and Screwdriver could feel their emotions growing by the second. How could some ponies possess such intense feelings for yhem?

Neither of them heard Discord sneaking around the garden, frantically searching for his daughter and niece. He heard a pair of voices and followed them to a bush. He peered over the edge in time to see the mysterious stallions change form.

He was so overcome with shock that he was frozen in place! He expected his daughter and niece to do the smart thing and run away, but they did not! Instead, they raised their hooves to touch the wretched creatures' face!

He snapped out of his trance and growled as he recognized the changelings. Screwball, Mothball, Screwdriver and Cherry Blossom jumped back as he popped out of the bush.

"YOU!" he bellowed.

"Daddy, wait!" Screwball exclaimed.

''Screwy 2, Mothy, run!'' Cherry Blossom yelled.

Mothball and Screwdriver were about to run when Discord grabbed them by the tails. They tried to struggle, but the draconequus had paralyzed them with his magic.

"I WARNED YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER AND NIECE!" Discord shouted at a volume that could be heard from the ballroom.

Many ponies rushed out to the garden to see what the commotion was, including Fluttershy and her friends, Screwball and Cherry Blossom's friends and the princesses.

"Ah!" Cinnamon Roll screamed. " changelings!"

"Oh!" Gemstone cried. "they're so horrid!"

''The changeling apocalypse has come!'' Blueberry pie yelled.

''They've come to eat us all!'' Raspberry pie continued.

''Run for your lives!'' Cherry pie screamed.

Had Mothball and Screwdriver been able to move, they would have winced at that comment.

"Daddy, put him down!" Screwball pleaded. "It's not what you think!"

''Uncle!''

"Stay back, Screwball and Cherry!" Discord commanded. "This insect has fed enough on you!"

His eyes literally burned with anger, making Cherry Blossom gasp. "Uncle, stop!"

Without thinking, she used her magic to blast her uncle into a tree. As he cried out in pain, his spell on Mothball and Screwdriver broke.

"Go!" Screwball said to him. "Get out of here!"

The princes did not waste a second and vanished.

Fluttershy flew to her husband's side and tenderly stroked his head.

"Are you alright?"

''Dissy!'' Chillcord screamed as he ran to his sister-in-law's aid. '' Speak to me, please!''

They jumped as he suddenly sat up. He crossed his arms and glared disapprovingly at his niece. Screwball sat down next to her. Cherry Blossom made the mistake of glancing at the horrified crowd of ponies. Her friends' jaws had dropped to the floor and they were all staring at her in disbelief.

Screwball looked back at her father and held Cherry blossom's hoof defensively.

"Daddy,'' Screwball choked. ''we can explain.''
