Later that night, Fluttershy snuck out to the garden to look at the statue. The chaotic pony was standing on one hoof with fear in her eyes, her front hooves flailing about in a panic.
Tears returned to Fluttershy's eyes. She so badly wanted to help the poor pony, but she didn't want to be helped.
As if he could read her mind, Discord appeared behind his wife.
"You want to set her free don't you?@ he asked.
Fluttershy nodded sadly.
"Here, I'll cast a spell so she can't use any chaos magic for now" Discord said. He zapped the statue and it started slowly breaking apart. The pink pony landed on the ground with a thud, still crying.
Fluttershy stepped over to the sobbing filly. "Screwball I-"
But Screwball just stared at her, terrified. She didn't even try using her magic.
"Get away from me you- you WITCH!" She yelled at Fluttershy.
"You RUINED my daddy! Now we can never spread chaos together!"
"That's not true, Screwy" Discord said.
"I've learned that using chaos magic for good can be just as much fun as using it for evil. And I love my family and my friends. I want you to be a part of that."
Fluttershy nodded. "He's still his old chaotic self! There's not a dull moment with him around!"
Discord extended his claw to Screwball, to which she started sobbing and jumped into his arms in a big hug.
"I'm so sorry daddy! I just wanted you back! I just wanted you all to myself!"
Discord smiled sweetly. "I know dear, but do you think you can learn to share me and join Fluttershy in our new family?"
More tears started to fill Screwball's eyes.
"After everything I've done..you'd let me be a part of your family?"
Fluttershy smiled at the purple pony. "Of course dear."
Screwball hesitated before Fluttershy embraced her in a big hug.
"Come now my dear" Discord said. "I want to teach you all the fun things you can do with your magic that don't involve taking over Equestria!"
Screwball giggled. "Ok daddy!"
