Chapter 8: The Storm

It had only been a few hours since SkyMint and Discord left for the honeymoon and the children were woken by the sound of peppermint lighting blowing off the tops of trees and the howling wind blowing against the windows. The three children ran to the one window in their room to see outside. The trees looked as if they were ready to blow over. The hedges and bushes were nearly gone from the wind. But despite all this the dark guards didn't seem to budge.
"Wow, daddy must be really mad...” Screwball said to Mackenzie and Missy.
"Have you ever seen it this bad?" asked Missy.
Screwball just shook her head.
"What do you think dad is mad about?" asked Mackenzie.
"I don't know I just hope mom is ok." answered Missy.

The storm lasted till noon of the next day, but it had left its mark. Discord's storm reached all the way from the Crystal Mountains to San Palomino Desert. There were chocolate puddles everywhere the eye could see. Trees had blown over with remnants of peppermint in their charred tops. Many houses had a leak or two.
The castle on the other hoof fared much better. Only the yards and the statue garden that Discord once called home were badly damaged.
Missy, Mackenzie, and Screwball all ran outside as soon as the storm was over. Screwball jumped in the puddles, not noticing the damage around her.
"Wow... Dad must've been mad last night." said Mackenzie.
"Come on my little ponies, we're going to take a trip to Ponyville.” said SkyFighter as he walked out to join the three foals.
The whole family walked to the train station, checking out the damage to city took. Once they got on the train it began to rain again. Screwball stuck her head out the window to see if she could get any chocolate milk. Mackenzie wanted to do that too but his grandpa wouldn't let him.
"Sweet Celestia..." said Midnight when they got off the train.
Ponyville was covered with chocolate, parasprites, mutant rabbits, and all sorts of crazy things. The whole town was out in the rain trying to cover any windows that had blown in.
"Hi Mackenzie!!" said Cotton Candy.
"Hey Cotton Candy, what are you doing?" he replied.
Cotton Candy looked like a one mare marching band with all sorts of instruments on her.
"I'm helping my mom get rid of the parasprites! They like to follow the music! Kind of like the Pipe Piper Pony!"
Just then Pinkie Pie called for her daughter to join her and Cotton Candy began playing her instruments.
"Mister SkyFighter!" said Twilight Zone as she walked to the family, followed by Mercury.
"We didn't know when you'd be coming home so we started boarding up your house for you." said the young dragon-pony.
"Thank you both, I was worrying about that." replied SkyFighter.
The family dispersed and left the three children to play; they knew they would be fine. Mackenzie showed Screwball around Ponyville, she hadn't been there in a while.
After a few hours the sky started to get dark of night and more storm clouds were rolling in. The family headed to the newly boarded up house to call it a night.

"Mommy!" yelled Missy, woken by a bad dream.
"Missy calm down it was only a dream." said her Aunt Midnight.
"Aunt Midnight, I'm scared... and I'm worried about Mama..."
"I know we all are sweetheart. If you want you can come sleep with me tonight."
Missy nodded and quickly got out of the bed she was sharing with Mackenzie and Screwball and followed her aunt.
Missy finally feel asleep after hours of on and off nightmares.
