It was a rosy morning when, a couple were sleeping peacefully in their bed. The sleeping couple slept together while hugging each other.

The day started when the doorbell rang. The colt opened his eyes and looked at his wife. He smiled with a ‘’You get it.’’

The mare woke up by her husband’s voice. She smiled. ‘’No, you get it.’’

Mothball pushed a little further. ‘’I’m not the one closest to the door.’’

‘’So?’’ Screwball asked cockily.

‘’So, you get it.’’

‘’Look, I’ve been getting it for two weeks, it’s your turn to get it.’’

‘’No,’’ Mothball protested.

Screwball raised an eyebrow. ‘’ We made a deal on this, remember?’’

Mothball didn’t’ look convinced. ‘’oh yeah? Since when? -‘’

That was when Mothball remembered something. He had a flashback for when he had made a deal with Screwball. He was with her at Fluttershy and Discord’s house for a tea party. He was having a conversation with his beautiful, precious, and very powerful wife.

‘’So, hon, have you cleaned the bathroom yet?’’ asked Screwball.

‘’yes, sweetheart.’’ Replied Mothball.

‘’Good, Because I hate to scrub the toilet again.’’ Screwball said.

Fluttershy’s face lit up. ‘’oh! That reminds me, Discord, have you finished making that cake? Besides, I smell something burning.’’

Discord Screeched in alarm. ‘’My cake!’’

As the colt dashed to check on his dessert, Fluttershy sighed.

‘’I better go follow him, that’s the third time he forgot to check on the food he cooks this week.’’

As Fluttershy followed her husband, Screwball scooted closer to hers.

‘’Promise me.’’ She whispered.

‘’What?’’

''Promise me to get the door tomorrow! Don’t act innocent.’’

‘’But we’ve been taking turns since last month, you…’’

‘’Look, I’ve been getting it five weeks,’’ She said, rolling her eyes. ''It has to be your turn!''

''But, Screwy, I've been getting it for six weeks! It has to be-''

Suddenly, a baby cut him off with it's crying. Screwball looked at it and rocked it gently. ''Shh, it's ok, Tennis. You see?! Even Tenny agrees with me!''

An infant with a yellow coat and a curl of lime green hair was in Screwball's arms. Her eyes Fluttered open, revealing them to be Lime green spirals for pupils.

Mothball sighed. ''Screwy, Tenny can't decide anything, she's just a baby! She was probably crying because she wants something!''

He trailed off as the little filly stared at him with her eyes and pouted. It was if she was trying to intimidate her grandmother's stare.

''Now don't look me like that, young lady!'' He scowled.

The filly huffed. The colt rolled his eyes. ''Tenny, You're embarrassing me in front of your mother!''

A shadow loomed over Mothball, but as he looked up, a gallon of chocolate was poured on him. Screwball couldn't contain her laughter while The foal's lips curled into a devious smile.

A soaked Mothball looked at his daughter in blind embarrassment. ''Tennis Ball.. don't do that again.''

Another shadow loomed over Mothball, as he looked up, instead of chocolate milk, there were lots and lots of tennis balls about to crash on him.

''Aw, nuts.'' he muttered to himself.

the tennis balls dropped on him like an anchor. in a few seconds, he was already drowning in the tennis balls. Screwball laughed contagiously, while Tennis Ball laughed along with her mother.

''We're back!'' The voices said from the next room.

When Fluttershy and Discord returned, they gasped in astounishment.

''What Happened here?!''

Then Tennis Ball's crying. Oh, Mothball remembered that part. It's not that he hated his daughter,or visa versa, its just that she's so loud sometimes. Nevertheless, he loved his daughter. He loved her SO much. and the best part was, she was just like her mother.

Just then, Tennis Ball really started crying. Mothball snapped out of his memory and Looked at Screwball. She gave him a look meaning: ''You gonna get it or what?''

He sighed and got of bed. he reached the door and unlocked it with his magic. He gasped and saw it was Discord. He seemed unamused, there was a diaper on his left antler and he was Giving him his five - month old daughter, who was giggling innocently.

Mothball sighed. ''Teleported again?''

''This kid is a lot of hard work.'' Discord admitted.

And he was right.


Tennis Ball was a sweet filly. Just like her grandmother, she was shy and a tiny bit anti - social, but the only company was her family and animals, that was, until she met golidie Thundercloud.

Tennis Ball was in class in kindergarten when she heard whispers from behind her. She looked back silently, trying not to get the unwanted attention of Mrs. Cheerilee. It was a blue mare with blonde hair and dark blue eyes whispering to a white mare white mare with gold hair and green eyes. She could make out what they were saying as clear as day.

''It's that half pony daddy and mommy talked about!''

''Yeah! I've heard so much about her! What with those eyes!''

''Seriously, she looks like a blind mare with those eyes!''

''She needs to see a doctor for those eyes.''

''And isn't she supposed to have a mental side or something? She may seem sane, but everyone knows she's INsane!''

Tennis Ball tried to drown out the words that were coming out their mouths. Freak! Mental Mare! Half Pony! Insane fool! She doesn't belong in this world!

''Hey! cut it out, you two!''

Tennis Ball looked up, and looked towards where the voice came from. There, she saw a gold Pegasus, about her age, with violet eyes sitting behind the two bullies. She could feel her hot tears that streamed down her face. The gold Pegasus stared at the two bullies and Tennis Ball could tell that they were Rivals.

''Don't you think that's enough damage for today?'' The gold Pegusus remarked.

The blue earth pony scoffed. ''Oh PLEASE. It's not like she'll understand. Mental Freaks are not meant to understand.''

Then Tennis Ball broke. Her sanity snapped as soon as she heard those words. She stood up, the anger raging in her eyes. Everyone looked at her, including mrs. Cheerilee.

''Tennis Ball?''

She ignored her teacher. Mrs. Cheerilee got mad.

''Tennis Ball, sit down!''

''No!'' Tennis Ball snapped as she wrenched her head at her teacher. Mrs Cheerilee Gasped and kept her mouth shut.

Tennis ball Turned back to the fillies. Who were confused and Terrified.

Lightning Flashed behind Tennis Ball She started to breathe heavily as she towered above the Frightened fillies.

''Not meant to understand? We'll see about that.''

The students looked up as a dark shadow covered them and screamed when they saw Tennis balls hurdling directly towards The blue mare. They all scattered out of the way. Tennis ball managed to grab The gold Pegasus before the Tennis balls hit her with her magic.

Tennis Ball's eye twitched as she glared at the mare. Money Maker let out a shriek as lime green light enveloped around her, pressing her into a sphere. The others backed away as she bounced on the asphalt.

''We'll settle this outside, shall we?'' The filly smiled insanely. She and The others were teleported outside. Mrs Cheerilee included. A strong, cold wind blew as soon as they were outside in the basketball court. Tennis Ball lifted the sphere shaped pony in the air, and threw it back down as hard as she could. Money Maker cried in pain as she did so.

''Stop! Please stop!'' Money Maker pleaded.

The filly screamed as she was thrown across the basketball court and into the net. The insane filly then darted her eyes at Golden Delight. Before she had a chance to escape, she was pressed into a ball as well and tossed into the other basket.

''Tennis Ball stop!'' Mrs. Cheerilee called. ''There's another way to settle this.''

''And what would that be?!'' The filly again yelled, wrenching her head to her teacher. This made the earth pony jump in panic.

The filly smiled. ''I thought so.''

''Please stop!'' The golden Pegasus yelled. ''You don't have to do this!''

''And why not?!''

''Because this is wrong! You shouldn't get upset about what they say.''

''Kid, are you nuts?!'' An older student bellowed.

''Nuts?!''

the crazy look on her face made everyone jump.

''Don't you fools know who I am?! I AM TENNIS BALL SCREWBALL DRACONEQUUS! DAUGHTER OF MOTHBALL AND SCREWBALL AND GRANDDAUGHTER OF DISCORD! If you all make fun of me, and my family, I SHALL HAVE YOUR HEADS! YOUR HEADS!''

As she let out a frightening laugh, the sky turned red and a bolt of lightning struck.

''No! Tennis Ball, please! See what you're doing! see what's happening now! You're not getting anywhere with this!''

Tennis Ball paused and looked at The Gold Pegasus. she had concern in her eye. No one has ever actually cared for her that much other than her family.

The sky turned back to blue. and she stared at the Pegasus. A tear fell down her cheek. She looked around. everything was a disaster.
she fell to her knees and cried. the gold Pegasus patted her back for comfort. everyone stared at her with sad faces.


Tennis ball sat hunched on the school steps. Even though the door was closed, she could hear the conversation clear as day.

"That half-pony nearly killed my girl!" Gold Digger bellowed.

"She didn't mean to hurt any pony," Screwball insisted.

"She's a menace! You should expel her at once!"

"No!" Golden Delight's mother screeched. "A child like that should be in an asylum!"

"After all, what else can you do with the Devil's grandchild?!"

Screwball gasped and Tennis ball heard a slap. "How dare you insult my child and my Father?!"

"Every pony, calm down!" Cheerilee shouted.

"Calm down?!" Golden Delight's mother shrieked. "Look at my daughter! Look at his daughter! That half-thing must be punished!"

"And what about your kids?" Scootaloo demanded. "They hurt my Goldie! It serves them right for hurting my angel!"

Tennis ball winced as she tried to block their words out.

"Freak!"

"Devil child!"

'' Mental Freak!"

"Halfling!"

"Monster!"

"She doesn't belong!"

A tear fell down her cheek.

The sound of the door slamming open broke her out of her trance. She looked up to see Money Maker, Golden Delight and their parents send her death glares as they passed by. The boys held ice packs to their heads. Next came Scootaloo and The gold pegasus, but they were silent. Then her mother appeared. She was not happy.

"You're lucky she didn't expel you," she said calmly.

Tennis ball hung her head.

"Honey, this is the third complaint I've received this month! I've let the other mishaps slide, but this…this is worse than the piano incident!"

"I'm sorry," the filly sobbed. "I...I don't know what came over me, I...I didn't mean…"

Screwball sighed and sat beside her daughter. "Look. It's noble that you were standing up for yourself, but you hurt those ponies just as they had hurt you."

"I wish I had done worse."

''Tenny!"

"At least then it would have all stopped!" She sniffed. "They're right, Momma. Maybe I am evil like they say. I…I don't wanna be evil!"

She cried into her mother's chest. Screwball stroked her mane tenderly.

"You're not evil, sweetie. You just made a bad decision."

"What if I can't control myself next time? What if I...?"

"You'll learn, hon. Maybe…you shouldn't use your powers anymore, at least not in school. Okay?"

Her daughter glanced up. ''But momma, I can't control it! It's only a one time thing when i'm mad or upset!''

Screwball gave her a look. ''Maybe we'll have to teach you how to control this power.''

The gold pegasus slowly approached them. "I still think you were pretty crazy back there, but...thanks for standing up to those bullies.''

Tennis Ball looked at her new friend and then suddenly embraced her. The Pegasus was shocked at first, but hugged her back.

''My name's Goldie Thundercloud.'' She said after she pulled away. She looked at the orange Pegasus. ''This is my Mommy, Scootaloo.''

''Pleased to meet you kid!'' she said.


Over the past seven years Tennis Ball seemed to be a curious pony. She was mostly curious about her powers. Every time, she would have these sudden magical surges when she is either upset or angry. It didn't take long for Screwball and Mothball to notice her magic to grow stronger.

Tennis Ball was playing with her ball when she heard Crying. She started to wonder where it was coming from. She followed the sound to her parent's room. She wasn't allowed in there so she peeked through the door. It was her mother and father. She didn't know what was going on, they have been acting strangely since that incident at school.

''Screwy, please, she'll learn over time!'' Mothball assured.

''No! I'm not giving up my baby girl!'' Screwball cried.

''We have to! This is best for our daughter!''

''Need I remind you she has her mother and grandfather's powers!''

''Yes, but she is the daughter of a changeling! with that much power she won't be able to control it!''

''Mothy, we can't! She's our only child! I can't live another day without her!''

'' Twilight will teach her everything she knows!''

''She's seven, for crying out loud! I'm not letting Twilight poison her mind with her boring lessons!''

''You've been stressed out from teaching her so much! She needs proper help!''

''Are you saying that her mother's help isn't proper help?!''

''No! I'm just saying that Tennis Ball needs some pony who's experienced!''

''I'm experienced!''

'' I know! but you're a mother now! you're experience is going to spoil our child!''

Screwball paused and stared at her husband in sadness. she then hung her head.

''I just want what's best for Tenny! She's my only child, and I...''' Tears started to fall down her cheek. ''I...''

Tennis Ball gasped quietly. ''Don't cry Momma, don't cry!''

She teleported to her room and searched her drawers. Her search was cut short when she found a locket she planned to give her mother. the locket had a picture of her and Screwball.

''Momma's gonna love this.'' Tennis Ball Whispered under her breath.

''And love it she will.'' A voice said.

Tennis Ball looked up and saw a figure at her widow. it was twice her mother's height, and long hair fell to it's waist. Tennis Ball gasped and backed away.

''Who are you?'

''Relax, child, I am here to help you.'' the figure said.

''Help me?'' Tennis Ball said in confusion.

''Yes. just come with me.'' The figure ushered.

''No. This... This not right.''

''Trust me, child, I will make your dreams come true!''

The filly hesitantly walked to the figure, but before she got too close, she heard her parents call for her.

''Tenny?'' Screwball called.

''Tennis?'' Mothball called.

They got to the room, and Screwball gasped.

''Tenny!''

Tennis Ball's ears perked up. ''Momma?''

The figure growled,, and before anyone could do anything, Tennis Ball was grabbed by magic. She screamed.

''Momma!''

Screwball screamed and grabbed her daughter's front hooves. ''Tenny!''

Mothball grabbed his wife and pulled. But the figure's magic was too strong. They were all dragged to the window.

''Tennis! Hold on sweetie, hold on!''

But Tennis Ball couldn't hold on much longer. Screwball lost her grip on Tennis Ball and She got sucked into a portal.

''No! Tenny!''

''Momma!'' Were Tennis Ball's last words.

Screwball was pulled back in. Mothball fell to his knees and cried.

''NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!''''
Screwball cried at the top of her lungs. she hollered so hard you could hear her from all over Equestria.

Discord appeared with Fluttershy next to him.

''Screwy, what's wrong?!'' Discord gasped.

''Is everything alright?!'' Fluttershy squealed.

''What happened here?!'' Discord continued.

''Where's Tennis Ball?!''

Screwball just gave them a face with tears in her eyes. Her daughter, her protégé, Her only child, was gone. She didn't know what to tell her parents. in fact, she didn't know what to tell anyone! She just cried.

''Tennis...'' She wheezed. ''She... She was taken!''

Discord gasped. Fluttershy doing the same.

''I tried. I tried to save her!'' Screwball cried loudly. ''But she...''

Screwball broke into tears. Fluttershy flew towards her, Tears welling up her eyes. ''Not my grand baby!''

Discord cried. Mothball doing the same.

Then, Screwball noticed something shiny in the corner of her eye. She gasped and saw it was a golden locket in the shape of a heart. She picked it up with her magic and opened it. she Broke into more tears at what she saw. A picture of her and her daughter hugging. She held the object to her heart

''I love you Tenny.'' She said. ''Momma loves you.''

No matter what, Screwball wouldn't rest until she found her daughter, that was, until a new sort of chaos started to form.
