Pikatwig: *looks at a TV for a moment.* Oh TV… you have seen much better days… well, except for a few shows. And Japanese shows… and… yea… you get what I'm saying Sean?
SZ: *playing Pokemon Omega Ruby* Eeyup. These days, people just watch stuff online as TV is going downhill...pretty much thanks to terrible shows like...the one that shall not be named
Discord: ...and I have been disgusted with entertainment beyond my own show.
Mischief: Indeed, dad. Much like…*snaps fingers, causing a title card for TTG, said card being crossed out* This dreck. This show… it should NOT be mentioned here… EVER
Pikatwig: Hence the title "the one that shall not be named" just like the game that should never be named.
Discord: I'M even horrified to go into that dimension. *shudders*
SZ: *shudders in agreement with Mischief* Let's just move on
Pikatwig: Thank you. *kicks the title card out*
Mischief: Now if you'll excuse me, I have to bleach my brain.
Discord: Oh… such a wonderful little boy…
Pikatwig: And you'll be getting the spotlight today, giant ham.
Discord: Oh? Am I now?
Pikatwig: Part of it. Thanks to the most recent episode, I got an idea. A good one.
SZ: Cool. And as for the recent episode...I thought it was funny with the references in it.
Pikatwig: It was good… I felt the pacing could've been better.
Discord: What do you mean? It was funny because I was in it. Therefore, it's a good episode.
Pikatwig: I said it was good, I'm just saying, I felt the pacing of the episode could have been better.
Mischief: Dad, let it go.
*Discord snaps his fingers and was suddenly in a cyan dress with a blonde wig*
Pikatwig: ...oi… *sighs*
SZ:...Not gonna ask.
Mischief: Anyway… *takes out a Splatoon Ink Blaster* It's Disclaimer time!
Pikatwig: *hides in bomb shelter*
SZ: 0-o…*leaps into bombshelter as well before the entire area was colored in multi colored ink*
DISCLAIMERS: As usual, we don't own anything in this story aside from our OCs. MLP: FiM is owned by Hasbro, Discovery Family, and such.
"In hindsight, maybe Cutie Mark Crusader Ink Fightahs was a bad idea," Applebloom stated, the group coated in various different colored paint with squirt guns wrapped around their backs.
"You think?" Dawn deadpanned, the Alicorn filly covered in light blue paint
The group then heard laughter, with Dawn pulling down a cloud and seeing that Mischief and Screwball were both on it.
"...why do we listen to them and their hairbrained ideas again?" Dawn asked.
Nopony had a good way to respond to that, when the cloud suddenly gained eyes.
"OH!" Quirky gasped, the front of her mane shaking, "My mane is shaking that means… INCOMING HAM!"
The Crusaders all hid in a bush, and the cloud suddenly became Discord!
"Ahh! Dad!" Mischief and Screwball yelped, about to hightail it out of there before Discord grabbed them by the scruffs of their necks.
"Both of you, we must go home at once," Discord told them.
"But dad. We-"
"At. Once," Discord said in a serious tone.
"...Yes dad," the two gulped as they poofed away in a puff of smoke. Suddenly, the puffs of smoke disappeared, showing the two were still standing there, "What just happened?"
Discord snapped his fingers, causing a door to appear. He opened it up and motioned for them to get in, the two nodded as they 'flew' in with their heads down.
The scene then shifted to… OH GOSH, WHAT THE HECK IS THIS PLACE?!
I don't know! It's like someone…!
"...It's my home dimension," Discord said bluntly.
...oh right.
Ooops… heheh… moving on.
Discord flew into a home that was atop of a tree, and in the living room were both Mischief and Screwball.
"Whatever you think we did, it was her!" Mischief shouted as he hid under a box. Screwball sighed and picked it up, causing a red "!" to appear above Mischeif's head.
"Oh no. Neither of you are in any trouble… at the moment…" Discord told them.
"Huh? We're not?" Screwball blinked as she turned the box Mischief hid under into an 'origami' penguin.
"Huh?"
"Listen. After my little… ahem, rampage at the Gala, I have to take the wife to dinner to make up for it. I brought you two back here so I knew you wouldn't do anything to ruin it, and to make extra sure," Discord began, as he split his head in two, "I'm giving you a babysitter,"
"Oh… please not that pink goo thing again! Last time he watched us, he almost destroyed Equnia," Mischief responded.
(Flashback)
Something flew high above the planet, a pink blur going by as it chased Screwball and Mischief
"...maybe we shouldn't have stolen that chocolate bar…" Screwball admitted.
"Ya think!?"
"You give Buu his candy back now!" the pink blob shouted.
Discord floated on by before seeing that the pink blob had charged up a giant orb of energy and was about to throw it at the planet.
"...what did you two do?"
"...Mischief stole his chocolate," Screwball lied, earning her a dirty look from her brother.
Before the pink goo being could even do anything more, a giant zipper emerged in the background, and a golden apple surrounded the pink blob, tossing it right into it, and the zipper closed.
"Discord…" a voice said sternly, making Discord gulp, and begin to write on a paper saying 'My Will'.
"I'm leaving you two out of the will if this is the end of me…" Discord told his kids.
"I'm allowing you this chance to live… don't mess it up again. Capiche?"
"...yes sir," Discord nodded.
"I am serious. If you two got me killed by him, you're both out of the will," Discord told his kids, "And in hindsight, Buu was probably not the best idea… maybe I should've looked at the whole 'destroyer of worlds' thing on his resume a bit more closely…"
"Gee. Ya think, pops?" Mischief rolled his eyes.
"...You listen here. It's been a long time since I've seen your mother, and I will not miss this opportunity to make her happy."
"I know… but who're you going to get to babysit us, papa?" Screwball asked.
Discord then walked over and opened the door, revealing a…. green… slime thing.
"Children, meet the Smooze. Smooze, meet my two kids, Mischief and Screwball,"
The Smooze gave a smile.
"...I hereby dub this guy, The Great Mighty Goo," Mischief said bluntly.
"I thought he was called 'The Smooze?'" Screwball blinked, making Mischief face fault.
"...Ahem. Yes well, my buddy Smooze here will be watching over you to until I and your mother get back tonight. Smooze, don't let them leave this dimension." Discord told the Smooze, who nodded, "Excellent. Now…" Discord paused as he snapped his fingers, causing a tux to appear on him, "I must get ready."
"Hey, a dope suit," Mischeif chuckled.
"It looks more like a monkey or penguin suit to me," Screwball noted, causing Mischief to laugh harder.
"...Leave this dimension, and you are both grounded for eternity. Get it?" Discord told them.
"...Yes pop/papa," Mischief and Screwball gulped.
with that, Discord left with the Smooze giving a blank smile at the two.
"Okay. This should be the spot she told me to meet here," Discord noted as he floated above the Everfree Forest.
Some… thing, floated over in a black cloak.
"Oh darling, you look terrific!" the figure beamed a bit.
"Oh. Why thank you, my dear," Discord smiled as he dusted his suit a little, "Picked this out myself."
The two then opened up a door, and they walked in, seeing all sorts of creatures, beings and the like.
Discord and his wife walked past a water blob and an ink blob, he waved at them, "Hello Chaos, Blot,"
The two beings waved back at him, and they passed by a yellow sort of blob with a giant red eye.
"Hello, Yellow Devil. You look sharp today," Discord smiled.
"Bumo," the being waved.
Discord and his wife sat down with Discord seeing the pink goo thing that had babysitted his children a while back.
"Hello ,Buu," Discord waved.
"Buu is not talking to Discord anymore," Buu huffed a bit as he resumed eating the pudding cups before him.
"...The kids?" Discord's wife asked.
"..ugh...yes," Discord sighed a bit, "All because they took his candy bar."
"Who… is watching the kids?" his wife asked.
"My old pal, The Smooze."
Mischief and Screwball both looked at the Smooze, who had been going through the cupboards to get out food for the two of them.
"...I'm bored," Screwball pouted as she rested her head on the table, "I want to do something fun."
"Me too, but we can't with that Great Mighty Goo watching us," Mischief whispered as the Smooze came back with some sandwiches...slime covered sandwiches, "Ew… who would eat this?"
Screwball had just finished her sandwich by inhaling it, much like a certain pink puff ball.
"Are ya gonna eat that?" Screwball asked her brother.
"...Knock yourself out," Mischief muttered, sweatdropping a bit as his sister inhaled her brother's sandwich
"...Yummy! Hey Smooze. More."
The Smooze grunted a bit.
"...Please…" Screwball added.
The Smooze nodded and went to go and make more, while Screwball got some soap and ate it.
"I hate manners…" Screwball muttered, some bubbles escaping her lips.
"How do you think I feel? We're the children of the spirit of chaos… and whatever mom is. And we're stuck here not causing chaos," Mischief muttered.
"...Dad never said we couldn't leave the house… he just said we couldn't leave the dimension… wanna go up and and all around outside?" Screwball asked.
"...You know, I think I would," Mischief smirked a little.
The Smooze grunted in a manner similar to counting, the two chaotic kids having said they wanted to play hide and seek. Smooze was counting to 5,000 and was at seven at the moment.
Meanwhile, outside, Mischief and Screwball were running around a half-pipe that had gems and bombs, the two children of Discord decked out in skating gear as they 'skated' in the halfpipe
"I'm gonna win!" Screwball shouted
"Oh I don't think so!" Mischief shouted as he tried to hit his sister with a pie, only for her to hit him with a cake, "Ugh! Coconut!"
The two jumped off of the half-pipe and onto a sort of sphereical planet, with various orbs, some that were blue, some that were red and others that were white with red stars on them.
"Collect all the blue orbs! Ready set go!" Screwball shouted.
"On it!" Mischief smirked as he became a blur and started collecting the blue orbs, red ones popping up in their place. Screwball simply flew over the red orbs, using the white ones as a boost, before the planet ran out of orbs.
"...Collect multi-colored orbs now!" Mischief shouted as they went into a giant sort of pipe.
"Man… desert was so good… I love chocolate cream dragonfruit upside down sideways orange topped cake," Discord smiled, using the table cloth to actually add on more smears to his face.
"Agreed. It just has a certain 'kick' to it," his wife giggled a bit.
"...Should we bring the kids a little bit?" Discord asked.
"Don't see why not."
Soon, Mischief and Screwball were running on another half-pipe, doing tricks in mid-air and grabbing colored orbs that… some voice… told them to collect.
"And nailed it!" Mischief whooped as he landed, "And now, to get the yellow orbs!"
"Not so fast," Screwball smirked as they looked and saw there were hardly any left, "...I knocked them away while we were getting blue and red."
"...I hate you," Mischief growled as Screwball got the last of the yellow orbs and skidded to a stop, seeing some sort of an Emerald floating in the sky, "...Didn't dad use one of those in his war with the ancient Ponies of the Beginning?"
"Yea… let's bring it home to him," Screwball smiled, as she walked to go and get it, when an invisible barrier stopped Mischief.
"Huh?" he blinked in confusion.
"...Looks like no draconique," Screwball smirked, "And I'm only 15% draconique,"
"...I hate you… I really do," Mischief told her, his voice being slightly muffled by the barrier.
Screwball grabbed the Emerald, and attempted to walk back with it, when the same invisible barrier stopped the Emerald from going any further. She tried again, only for the same barrier to block her.
"Having trouble?" Mischief asked with a slight smirk
"...Shaddup…" Screwball groaned, dropping the Emerald. She felt a twinge in her flank, "Oh no… MOM AND DAD ARE COMING BACK!"
They quickly ran away… only for the smoke to die down and show they were still there.
"...Why do we keep doing that?!" they groaned.
"Ahh...now that was a good night. Wasn't it, dear?" Discord asked his wife as they 'walked' back to his place.
"It certainly was," she smiled, "Oh, I do wish we can talk with Sombra and Chrysalis again. We haven't seen them in a few millenia,"
"...Don't know if we can dear," Discord shrugged as they stopped and saw a giant log of cheese fly by, "...The moon looks great tonight, doesn't it?"
"Sure does."
Mischief and Screwball snuck back in via the window, and heard grunting from the Smooze.
"...Is the Great Mighty Goo still counting?" Mischief blinked.
"I don't know. I'll check," Screwball whispered as she snuck quietly to the living room to see the Smooze, who (like Mischief said) was still counting.
"...so… hide?" Mischief asked, his sister nodding in reponse.
With that, Screwball took the form of a book and hid on the shelf while Mischief took the form of a broom and hid in the closet.
The Smooze then proceeded to shift forward and look around, tilting its 'head' as it searched the area. The goo trail it left behind left a sort of odor that made Mischief sneeze, causing Smooze to stop as he 'blinked' a bit, looking around once more.
Mischief gave a mental gulp as the Smooze was nearing the closet he was in. The Smooze picked the young draconique up with its mouth, Mischief giving out a mental scream as he was being covered in Smooze's slime. Mischeif was put down, before the Smooze accidentally bumped into the shelf that Screwball was hiding on.
'...No no no no no no no!' Screwball mentally yelled as she fell of the shelf, landing on the slime covered floor below, 'Ew!'
"...Well, that was a fail…" Mischeif sighed.
The Smooze gave some grunts before motioning for their bedroom.
"Bedtime?!" the two gasped with Mischief running over to behind the bookshelf, seeing a glass with a container marked 'In Case of Babysitter trying to put us to bed, break glass'.
He shattered the class, and took out a sort of block that was six colors that looked sort of like a color wheel in design, and the colors being purple and dark red
"...You know I don't like doing this…" Screwball sighed.
"Would you rather go to bed?!" Mischief responded, holding out the block. Screwball sighed and the two touched it at the same time. Suddenly, a sort of thunderbolt hit the two of them before a tornado swept them up.
Screwball screamed in fear while Mischief was laughing like a mad guy.
"WOHOO!" Mischief shouted as they collided and he shouted out, "MIX!"
SHIZAM!
ZASHIM!
Suddenly, the two were mixed into one sort of being, one that looked like a mix of a pony and dragon, almost like a Kirin with Screwball and Mischief's colors.
"Hoo… yea!" the combined entity shouted in Mischeif's voice, "Let's get our Mix on!"
Smooze stopped for a moment when he heard that voice, looking around a bit to find it, before looking at the being, who ran forward in a flash. However, that wasn't what caught Smooze's attention the most, it was the glistening, shining… tasty scales the 'kirin' had.
"Haha! You'll never cat… why're you looking at me like that?' the 'kirin' asked, seeing the look Smooze was giving him. It moved closer, licking its lips, "...uh…"
The Smooze got into a pouncing position, causing the 'kirin' to sweat a bit nervously. It slowly backed away, gulping as the Smooze closed in on him, licking its lips in a hungry manner.
"...Mommy," the 'kirin' gulped as the Smooze leapt at it, causing the 'kirin to scream as he shielded himself. Only...it never came as he slowly opened his eyes, seeing the Smooze 'floating in midair', "...Okay… if you're gonna do that, we'll go to bed…"
The "kirin" then split back into Mischief and Screwball, who quickly ran and hid in their bedrooms. The Smooze smiled happily, going in and making sure the two weren't scared and were settled in. The Smooze returned to the living room as Discord and his wife walked back in.
"Well, how was things, Smoozy?" Discord asked the slime.
It grunted a little, making Discord gasp.
"...You got them in bed? No babysitter before you has ever done that before… and I mean… ever… well done."
The Smooze gave a smile as Discord gave it a giant diamond, the slime creature opening its mouth as discord tossed the diamond in, said gem disintegrating upon entering the Smooze as it glowed and grew a bit. The Smooze scooted off while Discord saw his two kids in their shared bedroom, both of them tucked in and all that sort of stuff as they slept.
"Heh...out like a light," Discord chuckled a bit as he quietly closed the door.
Pikatwig: ...heh, that was kinda sweet.
SZ: Eeyup. It sure was.
Pikatwig: So… the Smooze turned out to be one of… Discord's better choices for a babysitter. And for those curious why Discord's wife is cloaked and never named is because… well… there's no set plan for who she is, so this is a sort of placeholder until we can come up with something. I at least get the idea she's a pony, so Screwball would at least make sense…
Discord: Eh… *shrugs*
Mischief: That whole… reference barrage throughout this chapter… AWESOME!
Pikatwig: ...it's you and your family… I think it would fit.
SZ:Agreed.
Screwball: ...so, that race thing we did… those were…
Pikatwig: Let the audience figure it out. Speaking of, that part had to be my favorite, Mischief and Screwball going through those areas together.
SZ: As for me, it was the references.
Pikatwig: Yep.
Mischief: Also… hey sis… I think it's time I get some payback for you winning some of those races… *takes out the Massive Monster Shift Car*
=TIRE KOUKAN! MASSIVE MONSTER!=
SZ: 0-o…*jumps into the bomb shelter*
Pikatwig: *does same*
Drive: *walks in as Type Formula* Don't do that. *loads Justice Hunter into the Trailer-Hou*
=JUSTICE… HOU!=
=HISSATSU! FULL THROTTLE! FULL FULL… HUNTER… DAI-HOU!=
Drive: *blasts the Massive Monster tire off of Mischief and puts him in cuffs*
Mischief: ONORE… DRIVE~!
Pikatwig: ...eh, just not the same as "Onore Decade".
Discord: Oh? Narutaki? I have lunch with him on Sundays.
Sz: 0-o…
Pikatwig: I could picture it…
SZ:...uh...that's all for today, folks.
Pikatwig: Just Live More.
SZ: Have a good day *As the screen fades to black we hear…*
Narutaki: ONORE, DECA~DE~!
SZ: Ugh….who let him in here?!
Discord: My bad! Just be glad it wasn't my brother…
SZ: Wait...you have a brother?! ...do I even want to know who the heck that is?
Pikatwig: As somebody who knows who his brother is… you don't, yet, you already know him…
Screwball: When can we see Uncle S anyhow?
Discord: Soon soon… well, not you story readers… sorry. *pulls a shade down on the camera lense*
