The Ultimate Surprise
Chapter 8: The date and meeting Discord
Previous Chapter Next ChapterIt has been a month since Sombra appeared, Screwball has been in the hospital the whole time. I went to the hospital every day to see how she was doing, and each time I learned something new about her, like how she has Discords knack for chaos, and how Fluttershy found her one night and decided to adopt her, and how amazingly kind she is. To go through what she did I can't even imagine, but ever since I met her I can't stop thinking about her.
"Today's the day." I said walking to the hospital. Screwball was getting out of the hospital today and I wanted to ask her out on a date. I entered the hospital and started walking to her room, as I got there I heard people talking so I decided to listen.
"Mom, I really like Dillan but I don't know how to tell him." I heard Screwball say as my heart flutter maybe this won't be as bad as I thought.
"I know honey, but you'll just have to wait and see how he feels." Fluttershy said. I was ecstatic Screwball liked me as much as I liked her and she was hoping that I would ask her out. I ran into the bathroom to avoid Fluttershy and Screwball seeing the light.
"Ultimatrix, Cyclone." In an instant I transformed into an anthro pony with blue and black spiral hair, blue spirals for eyes and light blue fur, I used my chaos magic to summon some roses which Screwball told me were her favorite, I turned back and went back to her room. I knocked on her door and heard foot steps until Fluttershy opened the door.
"Oh, hello Dillan what are you doing here?" she asked.
"I came to visit Screwball, I know today is her last day in here, may I come in?"
"Of course." she said stepping aside letting me walk in. I saw Screwball sitting on her bed getting ready to leave, she was looking out the window before she noticed me.
"Oh, Dillan! Hi what are you doing here?" she questioned.
"W-well, I wanted to see you on your last day in here, and to give you these." I said handing her the roses, she gasped as a light blush appeared on her face as she took them and smelled them.
"They, smell like chocolate! thank you Dillan." she said hugging me, this time it was my turn to blush, as I heard Fluttershy giggling.
"N-no problem, um I wanted to ask you something to." I said nervously.
"What is it?" she said tilting her head.
"Would you go out with me tonight?" I asked closing my eyes as I waited for her response, it took a few moments but when she didn't respond, I opened my eyes to see her smiling the biggest smile that I ever saw.
"Yes, I would love to!!" she screamed and pulling me into a hug. "What are we going to do?" she asked.
"It`s a surprise, but were something comfortable ok we're going to be outside." I told her with a relieved smile.
"Ok, come on mom, I have to get ready!!" she said grabbing Fluttershy`s arm and pulled her out side, but not two seconds later did she come back asking. "What time?"
"I'll pick you up at Fluttershy's house around six." I said with a smile.
"See, you then." she said bolting out the hospital.
Thank god she said yes I thought chuckling as I left the hospital.
I was walking around ponyville for awhile before I saw a pink cloud in the sky.
"So, Discord's back, I hope this doesn't effect my date with Screwball." I stated, but before I continued walking I was rushed by a pink blur.
"Dillan, thank goodness it's you we need your help Discord's back again!!!" pinkie said as she grabbed my arm and in an instant we were standing in front of Discord and besides the other elements of harmony.
"Pinkie, you've got to teach me how to do that whole jump thing?" I said looking at Discord.
"Okie Dokie Lokie." Pinkie said with a huge smile.
"So... Who are you?" Discord asked looking at me.
"Oh, hello my names Dillan, It's a pleasure to meet you Discord." I said holding out my hand. He shook it and looked at me with a raised eyebrow.
"Likewise, so mind telling me why I can see chaos magic emanating from you?" he said, surprising the elements.
"Chaos magic?, I don't know?" I said sarcastically. "I mean I have the ability to transform into a draconequus, and a half draconequus half pony." I told him.
He looked at me in shock before darkening his gaze, "And how can you become a draconequus, and a half draconequus half pony?" he said getting into my face. I backed up and showed him the Ultimatrix.
"This allows me to do so, it's called the Ultimatrix and it lets me transform into any creature, who`s D.n.a is stored within it" I explained "I got your D.n.a from a displaced named Jason, and I got Screwballs D.n.a when I saved her from a unicorn that was trying to rape her." I told him, to say he looked pissed was an understatement.
Who dares try to rape my daughter!!!" he yelled "I'll make them wish they were never born!!!"
"Ok, but we don't know where he is right now, his name is Sombra and as we were apprehending him he escaped." I told him.
"Sombra, I`ll kill him the next time I see him!!!" Discord shouted .
"Wow, you need anger management classes," I said. "so why are you here Discord?"
"Yeah, why aren't you still in stone!!" Rainbow yelled.
"Because the princesses started arguing in front of me." Discord said with a grin. "and for as why I`m here well it's been awhile since I could walk around so I came to see my daughter."
"Don't lie Discord, we know you're here to spread chaos again!" Twilight said.
"He`s not lying Twilight." I said surprising everyone, but making Discord smile.
"How do you know, Dilly?" Pinkie pie said I hate that nickname.
"I don't know, I just know." I said turning to AJ "you can tell too right?"
"... Yes" she sighed "He is telling the truth."
"See, I just want to find my daughter." Discord said with a smile.
"Like we're going to let you.." Rainbow Dash started until I cut her off.
"Go ahead and find Screwy, I know she wants to see you, she'll most likely be at Fluttershy's cabin" I told him getting shocked expressions from everypony.
"Thank you, Dillan Right?" he asked as he lifted his claw.
I nodded my head yes before reaching out my hand to shake. "No, problem that's what friends are for." I said making everyone gasp.
"You... think me as a friend?" Discord said in a shaky voice.
"Yup, I know your past Discord, and no living thing should be picked on because of looks." I said smiling.
He looked at me with tears forming in his eyes before he glared at me.
"you're just trying to lull me into a false sense of security, then you'll turn me to stone again aren't you!?!" Discord shouted in my face.
I recoiled and was about to yell back, but I remembered why he was doing this.
"No, I`m not." I said.
"How do you expect me to believe that, all ponies have ever done to me is lie and made fun of me, why should I believe you!?!" he shouted earning sympathetic looks from all except me.
"Because," I said smiling at him causing to looked confused. "I was treated the same way back home, not for the same reasons but I understand, and I want to be your friend Discord."
He looked at me in disbelief until he realized that I wasn't lying. "alright, Dillan." he said with the biggest smile "We're friends, anything I should know about you?" he asked.
"Well, I'm 18, love pranks, and... well never mind." I said causing him to get even more curious.
"Oh, come on tell me." he said pouting.
"O-Ok, but you can't get mad ok?" I said backing up.
"Ok, I promise, now tell me." he said
"W-Well, I`m kind of going out on a date with... Screwball tonight." I said rubbing the back of my head, I saw his eyes go wide then smile.
"Ok, I can see why you were scared, but let me tell you something my friend, i'll only ever physically hurt somepony if they hurt my daughter in any way got it?" he said leaning over me.
I nodded my head one indicating that I got the point.
"Good, now if you'll excuse me I need to talk with my daughter latter." he said giving a two claw? salute, I guess.
I sighed as I looked to the watch I had bought it was currently 5:30 and I was meeting Screwball at 6:00 so I still had half an hour to go, I turned around to see the main six frozen in place from shock.
"Oh, well." I said as I walked past, and decided to go to a jewelry store to get Screwball something nice, I don't really know what she likes except for chocolate, and chaos then an idea hit me.
"That's it that's what I'll do." I said as I entered the store, I looked around to see the perfect two pieces of jewelry, a chocolate diamond encrusted necklace, and a ring that was so strangely made I can't even describe it, as I was looking the stallion who owns the store came over.
"You have good taste my friend, who`s the special mare?" he asked as he took the jewelry out of the case and over to the register.
"Screwball, Discord`s daughter." I said smirking at his expression.
"Well, you have guts that's for sure, now these two items will cost you 600 bits." he said smiling.
"Ok, ultimatrix Cyclone." I said shifting into Cyclone, I just love his power`s I snapped my fingers and the precise amount of bits appeared. turning back the stallion handed me the bag before saying.
"I hope she says yes."
"Too what...?" I started before realizing that I bought a ring. "Oh n-no I'm not proposing its our first date and I want it to be special, that's all." I said with my face going as red as an apple.
"Oh, ok well I hope you two have a good date." he said waving as I left.
"Thank you, and have a nice day too." I said before going to rarity's I looked at my watch and saw that it was 5:50, I had ten minutes.
As I entered the boutique, I saw that the mane six except for Fluttershy were all there and talking about something, I assumed it was about Discord.
"Excuse me ladies." I said as they turned to look at me, Rainbow was angry, Applejack was confused, Twilight was annoyed, pinkie was happy as usual, and Rarity was as confused as Applejack. "I`m sorry for interrupting but, I need something for tonight Rarity." I said having them all looking confused but before anything I continued.
"You see I have a date tonight with Screwball, and I wanted to take her on a picnic but this is all I have, and I have to meet her in less than 10 minutes, I know it's a lot to ask but..." I was cut off by Rarity saying.
"No trouble darling I can make you something in that amount of time, follow me." she lead me to the back were she took measurements, and created a handsome blue outfit perfect for going on a picnic, it had a light blue shirt, navy blue shoes, and sky blue pants it didn't really make sense to me why it was different shades until I thought well, what fun is there in making sense sometimes, and this is Screwball im going on a date with.
"Thank you rarity, how much?" I asked getting ready to turn into Cyclone.
"Oh no darling, I wouldn't dream of asking for money, especially since its your first date, its on the house." she said.
"Thanks... but I cant leave you with nothing after doing it so quickly... hear" I said turning into Cyclone and summoning a ruby, diamond, and a jade, then giving them to her as I teleported to Fluttershy's cottage, before she could protest.
I arrived at the cottage right as my watch hit 6:00 pm, I shifted back and knocked on the door. ok you can do this ti`s no... big... deal my thoughts were cut off as Screwball opened the door in a beautiful sun dress that was pink with orange flowers, and she wore pink and orange flip-flops.
"Hi, Dillan I`m ready to go." she said smiling at me as I stood there like an idiot. "Um, Dillan... is everything ok?" she asked her smile faltering a little, I was snapped out of my stupid zone and smiled at her.
"Of course! Screwball it`s just you look beautiful." I said blushing.
She looked at me with wide eyes with a blush on her face as well, she looked down at her feet actually shy for once.
"Y-you think I`m b-beautiful?" she said looking away.
"O-of course I do, you`re the most beautiful girl I've ever met." I said blushing, as she stared at me with a smile, and it looked like she was going to cry. She pulled me into a bone destroying hug.
"Thank you, and you`re not so bad looking you`re self, Rarity right?" she said smiling.
I looked at her with a smirk. "You broke the fourth wall again didn't you?" I said smiling.
"Maybe..." she said looking away not wanting to acknowledge I was right.
"Ok, anyways shall we?" I said holding out my arm causing her to giggle and blush.
"We shall." she said taking my arm, as we walked away.
"So... what are we going to do?" she asked.
"Hold on its a surprise, ultimatrix Cyclone." I said and in an instant, I shifted into Cyclone and teleported us to our picnic spot.
When we arrived, I had blindfolded Screwball and created a beautiful scenery, I uncovered her eyes and she gasped at the sight. I created a lake that was surrounded with a field, a mountain, and a forest. The mountain had fresh snow, the field had a doe eating grass, the lake had rainbow colored fish jumping and splashing, and the forest had great big pine trees towering everything, and in the background was a beautiful sunset .
"Well, what do you think?" I asked as I turned back.
she stood there with her mouth open as she tried to find the words, she looked straight forward and I saw tears in her eyes, before I could say anything she pulled me into yet another bone crushing hug, as she cried tears of joy.
"Thank you... this is wonderful, thank you Dillan" she said kissing me on the cheek, causing me to blush furiously.
We sat on the ground and ate our dinner, afterwards we went for a swim and had a splashing war, had a snowball fight, and played with a couple of the deer that were eating, I took out the necklace. "Screwball... thank you for going out with me." I said handing her the necklace, but decided to wait to give her the ring.
"Oh, it wonderful, thank you." She said. I decided to keep the ring for another time. We stayed there for what seemed like forever until my watch signaled me to the fact that it was almost time to get her home.
"Screwy... we have to go." I said. "I have to get you home."
She looked at me with sad eyes but nodded, in an instant we were standing outside Fluttershy's cottage, and we were about to say goodbye, until interrupted by a loud thunder crack in the sky. we looked up just in time for the rain to down pour on us.
"Come on! Get inside!" Screwball yelled as she pushed me inside.
