Chapter 7: The Truth

Back in the cave, Discord and Sweetie Bot still embraced each other, although, for some reason, Sweetie Bot did not feel as affectionate as she usually would. She shrugged it off as being an

effect of still recovering from being passed out.

"I think I will be okay now." She said to the draconequus. "I would like to go back to school now."

"Yes, of course." Discord nodded as they let go of each other.

"You're not going anywhere!" They heard a voice.

They turned their heads and saw Screwball standing at the entrance. Sweetie Bot was confused, but Discord was speechless. He rubbed his eyes and did a double take, was this the filly he kept

hearing the rumors about?

"You're... you're that filly I kept hearing about." He gasped, confusing Sweetie Bot even more.

"That's right, daddy." Screwball sneared. "My name is Screwball, you created me."

"But, how? Where did you even go?"

"I've been around. Around enough to see that you've replaced me!"

"Discord, what does she mean?"

"I'm your daughter, daddy!" Screwball cried. "How could you do this to me?"

"As much as I hate to say it... Screwball is it? But you brought this upon yourselft." Discord huffed. "You disappeared before I even met you."

"DAD!" Screwball shouted. "I am a spawn of you. You wouldn't believe it, but it's true. I stuck by your frozen side. No matter how the tragic life. Your chaotic thoughts. Is what brought me to

life. Your, daughter Screwball!"

"But I've never seen you before!" Discord was getting frustrated. "How can you be my daughter?"

"Do these eyes not say enough!" Screwball refered to her swirled eyes.

"She's got a point." Sweetie Bot agreed.

"I can't believe you know your own daughter right in front of your face! And you go and replace me with a ROBOT!"

This sentence got to Sweetie Bot. What did this filly mean, robot?

"What do you mean, robot?" She asked the daughter of chaos.

"I'm surprised you haven't figured it out yourself." Screwball said to the robot. "It is quite obvious that you are a robot."

"Is this true Discord?" Sweetie Bot asked the draconequus.

"No, no Sweetie Bot." Discord waved his hands. "You're not a robot, she's talking crazy."

"Oh please, it's obvious!" Screwball sneared. "The name, the eyes, the weapons, the voice. And nopony is allergic to a puddle!"

Sweetie Bot stood there, her mouth agaped. It all made sense now. It was all coming together. Her eyes turned red and she turned to Discord.

"You LIED to me!" She shouted.

"Sweetie Bot..." Discord started.

"NO! Don't even talk to me! You created me and lied about it! You said that I was a real pony! YOU'RE A LIER!"

With this said, Sweetie Bot ran out of the cave, not looking back.

"Sweetie Bot!" Discord cried. "Come back!"

Sweetie Bot ran out of sight. Discord sighed and turned back to Screwball.

"What have you done!" He cried.

"I've got you back," Screwball answered. "That's what I've done, and that's what I've been doing. Finally you and I can be a happy father and daughter family."

"But you don't understand Screwball! Now that Sweetie Bot knows that she's a robot, she's going to destroy the town because she thinks everypony lied to her!"

"Oh," Screwball's eyes went wide. "Oops. I guess I really should have thought this through."

"Are you kidding me! Even I would have thought of a better plan!"

"Sorry, I didn't know. I just wanted my father back."

Screwball looked at the floor, tears welling up in her eyes. She really messed up this time. Discord sighed and knelt down to the filly, hugging her gentley.

"It's alright," He said to her. "It was a mistake. Everpony makes mistakes. But now we have to go find her before something happens."

"Right, let's go." Screwball nodded as they both exited the cave in search for the robot filly.

Back with Sweetie Bot, the robot filly was down by a stream. She looked into the water and saw her reflection. Why hadn't she noticed before? It was quite obvious. Her eyes had lines, her voice

didn't sound anything real, her hair didn't even move when she moved her head, and how could she forget about the weapons when she drew them out? Sweetie Bot sighed, what would she do now that she

knew she was a robot? Was this even real?

*Oh no!*

*The year is 2014 and I have somehow become a robot.*

*Oh no!*

*The year is 2014 and I have somehow become a robot.*

*I do not feel, portains of emmotion.*

*I do not feel, portains of emmotion.*

*I do not feel, portains of emmotion.*

*I do not feel, feel, feel, feel.*

*Oh no!*

*The year is 2014 and I have somehow become a robot.*

*Oh no!*

*The year is 2014 and I have somehow become a robot.*

*I do not feel, portains of emmotion.*

*I do not feel, portains of emmotion.*

*I do not feel, portains of emmotion.*

*If I did it would cause a circuit explosion!*

Sweetie Bot used her horn and shot a laser at a boulder, blowing it to pieces, her eyes red.

*Oh no!*

*The year is 2014 and I have somehow become a ro-ro-ro-ro-ro-ro-robot.*

"The world all lied to me." Sweetie Bot growled. "Very well then. They will all pay for what they have done."

A/N: And there you have it. Double foreshadows have been lifted. We find out that Screwball is in this story. And we find out that Sweetie Bot DOES find out that she's a robot. What will happen

next? Stay tuned.

Song is Year 32X, only 32X has been replaced with 2014. A robotic song of course.
