Hello everypony! Well, I haven't seen a ponified fic of the animated movie Hotel Transylvania yet, so I decided to fill the gap and write one myself. It was just such a cute movie, and I believe the characters I chose will fit well!

Just to make sure, I do not own My Little Pony nor Hotel Transylvania. They are the property of their rightful owners. I simply own a few OCs here and there.

Enjoy!

Equestria, 1896.

The dark shadows of the forest were intimadating enough. However, a large stone castle sitting against a mountain only justified this intimidation. In many places, the castle was crumbling and falling apart. Its windows were smashed out and the plants that had once surrounded it were now dead and dried up. The only light provided was the beautiful full moon, high in the star-filled sky.

Out of the deepest part of the forest came a large, serpentine creature. It spun and did flips, easily avoiding the prickly limbs of the tall trees before approaching the castle and landing on one of its many, crumbling balconies. The creature stood on its hindlegs, using its forelegs to slowly open the balcony door and slither in. Inside appeared to be a child's nursery, currently dark and appearing lifeless. The walls were painted brightly while the floor was decorated with a fluffy, colorful rug. Toys laid in all corners of the room, as well as a crib being in one of those corners.

The creature slowly slithered towards the crib, running a reptilian tongue across its fangs. It stood on its hind legs once again, its sharp talons shining in the moonlight as it continued to stalk towards the crib. The beast approached closer and closer, demonic red eyes glowing with evil anticipation.

The creature stood at the side of the crib, jaws open to show a mouthful of razor-sharp fangs. It looked over the small, purple-pink filly with a curly purple and white mane who was currently asleep. She was completely unaware as the invader began to lean over the crib's rails, approaching closer and closer to the helpless young foal.

Unexpectedly, the lights came on, awakening the filly. She glanced up with strange, spiraling eyes, only to see the severely deformed face of an equine smiling down at her.

"Peekaboo!" Greeted the mismatched creature known as Discord.

Immediately, the filly burst into tears, wailing and screaming from being startled. Discord saw his mistake and immediately picked the purple-pink filly, holding her at arm's length.

"Oh my little Screwball!" He cooed, holding the filly closer, "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to scare you!" To stop her from crying, the multi-beast began rocking her and singing in a gentle voice, "Hush little filly, don't say a word. Daddy's gonna buy you an exploding bird..."

The filly called Screwball giggled and clapped her little hooves together with childish delight. Discord laughed along with her before carrying her over to a diaper changing table. He set her down gently, using his magic to discard her soiled diaper and give her a fresh, clean one. Screwball was either giggling the whole time, sucking on her hoof, or attempting to grab at the floating diaper. Discord threw the soiled diaper out the window, only for it to explode into a smelly mess of green butterflies when it hit the ground.

"Ooh! You really made a stinky that time!" Teased Discord as he scooped the filly up and spun her around, "Now that daddy's home from work, why don't we have some fun?"

Screwball giggled in reply before Discord walked to the balcony window. He spread his pegasus and bat wing before taking off into the night sky with the filly in his arms.

"And I want plenty of square footage," Discord explained to a hunchback pony who was currently leaning over a desk with blueprint drawings, "Don't make the rooms too small, because the guests will be crowded. Don't make them too big or we'll have less individual rooms. Are we clear, Frank?"

"Yeah," The hunchback pony named Frank said, drawing up the rooms that Discord wanted, "Is there anything else, Mr. Discord?"

The multi-beast paused, "Oh, could you put the pool riiiiight..." He pointed with a talon finger to a spot on the blueprints, "There."

"Gotcha." Frank replied.

"That should do it," Discord concluded, "You can began building tomorro-"

Drip!

Something wet splattered on to Discord's nose. He wiped it off before glancing up at the ceiling. There, defying all laws of gravity was a toddler Screwball staring down at them. She crawled down the walls before jumping into her father's arms, causing both of them to start laughing.

"I'll get the zomponies to start the project," Frank interrupted them, "Is that okay with you, sir?"

"Yeah, sure," Replied Discord, throwing the filly up before catching her as she fell back down, "Uh... Just remember that pool."

"And then, Peter the Pony and his army of ponies attacked Manny the Monster," Discord said to his daughter, reading from a book entitled Ponies R Evil, "And they chopped off his claws!"

Screwball gasped, holding the blanket of her bed up around her chin.

"Then they chopped off his forehead and scooped his brains out!" Continued Discord, now doing a dramatic reading of the book.

Screwball whimpered and hid fully under the covers.

"And finally, they did the most despicable thing that they could possibly do..." Discord rambled on, pausing for dramatic effect, "...They took his candy!" He looked over at Screwball to see her reaction, but she had mysteriously vanished. He heard tiny whimpers coming from under the bed, causing him to lean over the side and check under it. Screwball was curled up with the dust bunnies and dead bugs, holding a lollipop tightly in her hooves.

"No!" She cried, hiding her eyes, "Don't let them take my candy!"

Her father crooned, "It's only a story, my darling! Even if it was real, I would never let those nasty ponies harm you!"

Discord sat back on the bed, making a miniature piano appear as he did. He started to play a gentle tune that lured Screwball out from under the bed. She crawled halfway back onto the bed as her father began singing in a surprisingly sweet and melodious voice.

Please do not cry my dear.

Your daddy is still very near.

And if any pony,

Causes you grief, harm or fear,

Then I will-

At that very moment, the sweet and melodious song stopped abruptedly as flames suddenly erupted behind Discord as he suddenly turned into a demonic version of himself; complete with glowing red and black eyes, sharp teeth, and extended claws. He gave a loud, guttural roar towards the skies that shook the castle. Surprisingly, this did not frighten Screwball, but rather made her giggle. She knew that whoever dared to mess with her would be messing with the demonic form of her father that sat beside her.

The flames disappeared as quickly as they had came as Discord suddenly turned back to his normal, not-nearly-as-terrifying self. He resumed the song like nothing had ever happened.

-and drown them all in choc'late rain.

Cause I, am your Daddy Discord...

He bent down, tickling his daughter's chin with his long talon.

And you, are a piece of me...

"Come on! You can do it!"

A tween Screwball stood at the edge of her bed. Discord laid right under her, his arms outstretched as if he was waiting to catch her.

"I don't know if I can!" She squeaked, backing away from the edge.

"You can, my little filly!" Her father encouraged, "Just focus all your thoughts on propelling your flight with magic. You don't need wings to fly!"

Screwball approached the edge once again, preparing to launch herself into the air. She bent her legs, jumping into the air. Just before she hit Discord's arms, she stopped abruptedly, now floating freely without the need of wings.

"Aha!" Cheered Discord, "You did it! Good job!"

Screwball giggled and started flying around the room. She came back to her father and gently poked his nose.

"Boop!" She laughed.

"Oh no you don't!" Discord replied in a playful tone, "I am the master of all nose boops! You get back here, you little stinker!"

Screwball flew off with her father close behind. She was surprisingly fast for such a novice flier. Just when Discord was about to catch her, the bedroom door slammed open, causing Discord to stop. Screwball ran into the wall when this happened.

"I'm okay!" She said, despite that she was now cross-eyes.

Standing at the door was Frank the hunchback with a serious look on his face, "It's time, Mr. Discord sir."

Discord grabbed Screwball and quickly tucked her into bed before following Frank out the door. They then walked to one of the many balconies, overlooking Discord's newest creation. This "creation" was a huge castle with many individual towers and spires that rose high into the sky. The castle was made from various different stones, making it appear very disorganized and mismatched; just like its creator.

"The location you chose is just perfect," Frank explained, "If ponies ever want to get there, they would have to brave the Haunted Forest, and the Land of the Undead. Any pony would turn tail and run at the sight of one zompony!"

"Excellent," Discord said with a satisfied smile, "It's far away from any pony-populated place, correct?"

"Far enough," Frank replied, "Just remember: no bonfires, no fireworks. The lights and smoke could possibly attract wayward ponies. Other than that, the place is a beauty! You truly outdid yourself, Mr. Discord sir!"

Discord was too busy walking back into the building. Sitting on a small table was a picture frame containing a snapshot of himself and another creature similar to him that was much more feminine.

"This is it, Eris my dear," He said to the photo, running his claw along the length of the female chimera, "I will finally fulfill your dream. I will keep our Screwball safe from the monsters that are the ponies. She will be safe in this new home... Forever."

Song: Daddy Discord by Sand Joseiph.

I know it's corny, but it was fitting. I mainly want to test newer writing skills out on this story, hopefully honing my ability to describe and write a character. Tell me what you think in the reviews, if you can!
