"Which one Harmony?"

"Dunno."

"Surely you have a preference."

"I want Screwball, the sister I had and didn't brag because she has a coltfriend."

"I'm not bragging, your just jealous."

"I don't even like Dusk. I don't like anypony!"

"You sure? I've seen you eyeing a certain colt."

"Positive, you don't need to be involved in my personal life."

"I'm your sister for Celestia's sake!"

"So?"

"Harmony! Screwball! Where are the two of you?"

"In here Mother!" Harmony called

"Mother? Why don't you just call her mom like Kib and I do?"

"I call Dad, Dad, what's your point?"

"Are you trying to be difficult?"

"No."

"Well you are."

"Are not!"

"What are you arguing about?"

"N-nothing." Screwball lied

"Sure... Harmony?"

"Nothing just like Screwball said."

"Girls, seriously? Do you take me as a newborn foal?"

"No! We love you, but we solved it, honestly."

"I heard most of it. You were arguing about something. Now spit out with it already!"

"Discord!"

"What?"

"You don't talk to them like that, they are growing fillies."

"I'm a mare!" Screwball rejected and instantly took it back from a look of her dad's.

"You're a filly. Not until you are 21."

"No I'm NOT!"

"Harmony go to your room." Fluttershy whispered into the foal's ear, not taking her eyes off her husband and oldest foal.

"Okay..." reluctantly, Harmony backed away into a hallway that seemed endless. Fluttershy gasped as Screwball lashed her tail and taped Discord's muzzle shut.

"Screwball!" Fluttershy scolded and Screwball shut her muzzle with another flick of her tail.

"Mat's mit" Discord said trying to talk through the ducktape before he undos it.

"Screwball room, NOW!"

"Dad no, NEVER!"

"You're pushing it now, you do what ever you want to me, but when you mess with your mother, that's when I LOSE it! I'm trying so hard not to hurt you right now."

"See if I care." Screwball marched out the house and ran, a huge grin on her face.

"Owwww! Discord!" Fluttershy screamed as her husband was slightly moving her front right hoof.

"I think she broke it." Discord muttered as he set it back down.

"What's gotten into her?"

"That new coltfriend of hers." Discird guessed.

"Dusk isn't like this. He's so nice."

"That's what they all want you to think so they can date our daughter."

"Can you fix it?

"Not Screwball attitude. I wi-"

"My hoof!"

"Oh, I think." He picked it up again, softer this time, and snapped his lion paw.

"Better?"

"Yes, thank you."

"What kind of husband would I be if I just let you lye there in pain?" (COUGH COUGH Gaston COUGH COUGH)

"Can you help me up?"

"Sure?" He picked up Fluttershy (literally) and set her down slowly so she could test her hoof out.

"I just don't understand why Screwball would be acting this way."

"Unless it's not Screwy."

"What?!"

"Just thinking out loud."

"Keep going"

"What if the changelings got out?"

"I doubt it. We sent all of them to Tartarous."

"Cerberus left again, remember, maybe they could have gotten out but not enough to make a difference so we couldn't tell if all of them were still in there."

"Chrysalis and the two others were still there."

"You've forgotten again. Chrysalis had a royal changeling just before we locked her up."

"Do you think-"

"It could be very likely, but I don't know."

"I hope you're wrong and it's just mood swings."

"Well, let's tell Twilight and see what else we can do."

"Are you sure she wasn't just mad?"

"Positive!"

"Hum, it could be very likely." she gasped and looked out the window, Discord, get the girls and the elements, Fluttershy stay behind me, we have trouble."
