Cheering was ringing through the forest. As the newly engaged couple floated away in their balloon Screwball said, "Wait a minute! The flowers! I completely forgot! We need to see who the new bride is going to be." "Well we're not that far up, you can still do it." Mothball said. Screwball looked over the edge as she called, "Alright all you single mares down their. Heads up!" As the flowers came closer and closer to the ground, it became enveloped in blue and gold magic. Both Screwball and Mothball's jaw dropped when they saw who had it. The two turned to each other as they both started laughing.
"Of all ponies it ended up with my little brother?" Screwball laughed. "Not just him but with the Daughter of Friendship!" Mothball gasped. "Oh how I would love to see how that's going to play out." Screwball said. After the laughing calmed down Screwball walked over to the other side of the balloon as she looked out. Mothball tilted his head as he went to her side. She was looking out, her swirly eyes calm with a smile. "Something wrong?" he asked. "Not at all." she smiled as Mothball placed his hoof over hers, "It's all happening. We're finally married." Mothball laid his head on hers as he said, "And to think it all started off when you bashed my head into the ground." Screwball pulled away as she playfully socked his shoulder, "Get out of here!" Mothball laughed as they resumed their previous hold to each other.
They stayed silent for a few moments as they watched the sun set. "We probably won't be able to reach Maris until tomorrow morning." Screwball said. "Well there is more than enough space in here that equals to a regular bedroom. Your chaos magic can also help to set the mood." Mothball said. This gave Screwball an idea as she summoned lots of pillows and a bed with a blanket. "Alright what are you up to Screwy?" Mothball asked with a chuckle but already knew what she wanted to do. Screwball laughed as she gave him a sly look, "Oh I think you already know." She grabbed his tie as she said, "Come on tiger we don't have all night."
Pillows went flying as Screwball stood firm of her area. "My pillow fort is way better than yours." she taunted. "In your dreams!" Mothball declared. She summoned up pirate hats as she said, "Ahoy land lovers, seems to me we have a challenger among us." Mothball nodded, "Indeed you do." Screwball opened her pillow gate as she used her magic to hold a wooden sword. "There can only be one swash buckling pirate around here with the best pillow fort. And that pony is me!" she challenged. Mothball grabbed the sword Screwy had summoned as he came to meet her. "Ungard." he said as he swayed the sword with his green magic.
Screwball swung her sword playfully as it hit Mothball's. He pushed her back as he swung his sword for her to block. Screwball floated above Mothball as she landed on his other side and knocked him to the ground. Luckily the pillows broke his fall but Screwy knocked the wooden sword from his magic as she pointed hers at him. "Any last words?" she said. Mothball laughed as he changed himself to a bear. Before she could run, bear Mothball had already scooped her up in his bear arms. Screwball laughed as she said, "Okay okay you win!" He smiled as he changed back but was still holding onto her. "Let me go." she said. "Never." Mothball said as he pressed his lips onto her cheek.
They sat for a moment as Mothball said, "How about this, we join our pillow forts together in harmony?" Screwball smiled up at him as she said, "Sounds like a plan." She used her magic as the two pillow forts joined and a banner above read Do not disturb. Letting her get up he said, "Who's going to disturb a giant hot air balloon?" "Hey it's an unwritten rule after getting married." Screwball smiled. She yawned as she laid her head on Mothball's. "Take me to bed? This has got to be one of the longest days and week of our lives." she asked innocently making her big swirly eyes irresistible. Mothball rolled his eyes as he picked her up saying, "How can I say no to a face like that? After all we've been through sleep sounds great."
They went into there little pillow fort as he laid her down in a nice, soft, pillow bed. As Screwball curled up ready to sleep Mothball was about to join her when he caught something out of the corner of his eyes. He looked out as he saw a silhouette of a familiar sight. Mothball shook his head thinking he was seeing things as he went to join Screwball. Laying next to her he said, "I love you." "I love you too." As they drifted to sleep and the hot air balloon floated in the sky, eyes appeared in a cloud as they darted at the balloon.
Screwball, Mothball, Discord, and Fluttershy were all waiting in worry in the doctor's office. It had been almost a half a year since they were married and they have been talking about it for awhile and they came to an agreement that they wanted a baby. Screwball and Mothball haven't started anything yet because they wanted to get a check up to see if it was all good to have a foal now.
You could tell Screwball was worried as her propeller hat swirled and she kept rolling a ball with her magic on the floor. Mothball held her hoof to calm her. Discord laid his claw on his daughter's head saying, "Don't worry, it's going to be fine my dear." The door opened to their room as the doctor came in. "Well?" the four of them said getting up. The doctor took a deep breath as he said, "Um you see Mr and Mrs Ball, I have run all the test and checked, double checked, and you two are capable of having children at this time and you're both healthy to have a child." he paused as Screwball's eyes twinkled in hope. Mothball could already tell there was a 'but' coming on as he was ready to embrace Screwball at any moment.
The doctor fiddled with his glasses as he gulped, "B-but I'm sorry. It's not going to be possible for you two to have a foal. Based on our research of your species Mr Ball and of our knowledge, changelings can never reproduce with regular ponies unless she is a queen. It's never been heard before of a king to be able to. A successful one at that. I'm terribly sorry."
It was dead silent in the room. The doctor flinched holding his clipboard to his face as Screwball straightened up. But she simply turned her back on them as she said with no emotion, "Thank you for your time doctor." She walked slowly to the exit as Fluttershy, Discord, and Mothball exchanged a look. As they followed after her and shut the door, gold magic enveloped around the bouncy ball Screwball had used as it smacked the doctor in his face.
Screwball was standing outside looking out with her back turned to her parents and husband. Discord came behind Screwball as she looked at him with a sideways glance. She embraced him as she softly cried in his arms. Tears came to the four as they brought it in for a group hug. They held each other, refusing to let go. "I'm sorry daddy." Screwball sighed. Pulling back Discord asked surprised, "Sorry? What are you saying sorry for?" "I won't be able to give you any grandkids." she sniffed as Mothball wiped her tear, "I won't be a mother." "Nonsense!" Fluttershy said firmly, "I won't stand by and let this happen. Adoption is still an option." "Yeah Screwy, adoption might be better." Mothball said, "I mean think if Aunt Applejack never adopted Cinnamon Stick and Cinnamon Roll, then we wouldn't have them!"
She sighed, "That's true. But I've always wanted to have a child myself." Discord brought them all into a hug again as he said, "It's going to be okay." As they hugged, Screwball darted her eyes with determination.
When they arrived home, Mothball said, "How about I make you some chocolate milk to make you better?" Screwball didn't reply. Mothball came to her side as he laid his hoof on her. "I'm just as upset and sad as you Screwy, but we got to keep our heads up." "I don't care." she replied as she turned to him, "Those doctors must not be up to date. I mean in the past what 20 or so years a draconequus had successfully have two children from a pegasus mare and a earth pony had conceived a dragon-pony baby hybrid with a dragon!" "I know that but what about what the doctors said. You heard them." Mothball said sadly. "I heard those doctors loud and clear and although majority of what they said was a bunch of cloud fluff, they did say one thing." Screwball replied back in defense, "That the two of us are capable of having children."
Mothball was about to reply back but he closed his mouth as Screwball softly held his his gaze as she calmed saying, "Mothy you want this just as much as I do. What's the harm in trying?" Mothball sighed looking down. He brought Screwball close as he tilted her chin to look down into her eyes saying with a smile, "I want this more than anything in the world." "And although it will be a rough path, we'll get through the chocolate rainstorm." Screwball smiled with tears in her eyes. "Together." they said with tears as they shared a kiss.
Months passed since that visit. Mothball was coming home when he ran into Cinnamon Stick. "What's up dude?" Mothball greeted. The earth pony was panting as he said, "Oh you know just taking this pumpkin soup home to Dinky." "Pumpkin? At this time of the year?" Mothball asked. "She can't help it, it's what she's been craving and who am I to say no?" he said wiping off a brow. Mothball smiled as he picked up the small bowl of soup and placed it into Cinnamon's satchel. "Thank you." Cinnamon Stick said as he went on his way home. Mothball waved goodbye as he let out a small sigh.
He arrived at his little cottage. Sure it looked like your normal houses here in Ponyville and was small but you're talking about the Princess of Chaos. When he opened the door, so much space and room in the house. "Screwy I'm home." he called as his voice echoed. She instantly appeared with a huge smile on her face. "Hi honey!" she smiled with her swirly eyes big. Mothball raised a brow as he chuckled, "Have you been in the desserts again?" "Mothy please desserts is like vegetables for me." she said, "But that's not important. I have some great news for you."
"Okay what is it?" Mothball asked. "But first I want you to open this." she said holding a present out to him. "But it's not my birthday." he said. "Just open it." she said. As he opened up the box, there was a blanket in there along with a diaper and lollipop rattle. He took it out as he tilted his head saying, "What's with the baby stuff?" "Guess." she said as she thought I can be patient till you figure it out. "Um is this for Dinky's baby shower?" he said. "Nope. She's 4 months in and she's not having a baby shower until she's six. Besides this present is for you, for us." she hinted.
His ears perked up as he put the pieces together. The items dropped to the floor as he managed to say, "No way." Screwball nodded her head. "Does this mean?" he asked his eyes wide. "It's confirmed." she smiled. The two were quiet for a few seconds until Mothball said,
"You're sure."
"100% sure."
"You double checked?"
"Triple checked."
"You're absolutely positive this time?"
"I'm 5 weeks in."
The two stayed quiet again. Mothball let out a gasp as he smiled, "I'm sorry it's just-we've tried so many times and we're so different I never thought-after what the doctors said but then-I always had hope and now you're actually-it's actually going to be happening-we're going to be parents." He held onto her hooves as he smiled again saying, "You're pregnant!" Due to the excitement he pulled her in for a kiss, catching her off guard but she gladly accepted it. Pulling back they nuzzled with each other as he said again, "We're finally going to be parents."
"Just think in nine or so months I'll be a mom and you'll be a dad." she said. Mothball suddenly realized as he started to say, "I'm going to be a father. I'm going to be a father. Sweet Celestia I'm going to be a father!" "Well duh, you want to switch roles?" she said sarcastically. "You don't get it, this kids going to be made fun of for being a changeling and chaotic pony. Oh my gosh what if they make fun of what he or she will look like?" he suddenly became angered as he said, "If anypony harms my future son or daughter in any way I swear!" "Mothy!" Screwball called as he stopped, "You've been hanging around my dad when he's angry."
Screwball led him to sit down as he put a hoof to his head. "I'm sorry Screwy. I just...I just don't want anything bad to happen." She tilted his chin up, "Hey nothing bad will happen to this child, you know why? Because we're going to raise this child together. He or she will be raised the right way." He looked deep in her chaotic eyes as she said, "Are you ready for this?" Mothball placed his hoof on her stomach as he said, "As ready as I'll ever be." As they went in for another kiss she said, "Everything's going to be okay."
Hey everypony! Hope you guys are ready for this adventure. This time we see Fluffball's end of the story. Now keep in mind THIS IS NOT THE ACTUAL GRANDDAUGHTER OF DISCORD, this is an 'alternative' or even 'fan made' of a popular fan made fanfiction. This is not at all cannon to Disney Fanatic's 'Bride of Discord' Universe (as far as I know) and should be accepted as yet another alternate universe. Hope you enjoy and thank you to DisneyFanatic, without her we would have not been able to enjoy how far her franchise has come along. (And how many people make there own little fan theories on an already fan made project ^^) So Ms Fanatic, if you happen to come across this fanfic I hope you enjoy this alternate, alternate universe I have created.
