A/N Dusk is kind of one, her's is Dusk Light, mine is Dusk Century, but still, give her credit...

"FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!!! HURRY MOM OR WE'LL MISS DUSK AND AUNT TWILIGHT!!!!!"

"Hang on, hang on, you know Aunt Twilight promised she would wait."

"Let's hurry!!!!"

"Hold on!"

"But mommmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!"

"Give me another minute, I need to get my mane combed."

"Here," Screwball flicked her tail and brushed out Fluttershy's hair. "NOW COME ON!!!!!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming. Bye Discord and Kib, I'll be back in an hour!"

"Stay on the path!" Discord called to them.

"We will!" Screwball promised

"DUSKY!!!!!!"

"SCREWY!!!!!" The two friends jumped into an embrace as they exchanged news with each other.

"How's Kib been?" Twilight asked

"A hoofful, at least Discord is there to balance out their magic, Kib turned the whole house upside down yesterday due to anger."

"We're all of you okay?"

"I was the last one to find out."

"We're you okay?"

"I'm fine now, but he made me dislocate my wing out of place. Discord fixed it and taped Kib's paw and claw together. That's when he found out how to use his tail fur like his dad does."

"Anything after that?"

"Discord grounded him and locked him in his room. He can't get out even if he uses his magic."

"BYE MOM!!!!" Dusk and Screwball yelled at the same time.

"Bye Sweetie!" The moms said together and walked away.

"So, who's in our class?" Screwball asked

"I think Swiss is in it, but I haven't seen him, Aunt Pinkie, or Uncle Cheese. Is that Aunt Cadence?!"

"Princess Cadence?!" Screwball turned around and saw the pink alicorn and her daughter.

"SKYLA!!!!!" Screwy yelled as she ran to intercept them.

"Screwy?!" The smaller white alicorn hugged her as she got tackled in a hug with her BFF and cousin.

"You just missed Aunt Twilight, Princess Cadence, I'm sure you could still catch her-"

"I came to drop Skyla off for school."

"You go here?!" Screwy asked

"For now, and if I like it here, than I can stay with Uncle Flash and Aunt Twilight."

"Let's get inside, Ms.Cheerlie is probably wondering where we are." Dusk pointed out.

"Princess Skyla!!!!" Everypony exclaimed

"Who's the filly next to her and Prince Dusk?" A colt asked

"I'm Screwball."

"Screw, ball what kind of name is that?"

"It's her name, and I should see you treating her with respect. She is my best friend and I don't like my friends being treated with such disrespect."

"Sure, we won't pick on her, when you are next to her." Skyla heard that comment and stood up even straighter and spread out her wings.

"Don't even think about it." she warned,"or you WILL answer to my mother and aunt." and Uncle Discord. she added to herself.

"Dusky?"

"Yeah?"

"We aren't going to talk about UD, are we?"

"No!!! If they knew who her father was, she would be treated as an outsider, once Kib joins the class, everything will be sorted out."

"Why wait?"

"So they can explain UD to the both of them at the same time. Kib might take it harder though, considering he takes after his father."

"True, I just hope they don't badger Screwy about who her parents are, or she tells them openly."

"Me too, I'll mention it to her."

"Please choose your words carefully, you know her heart takes after her mother's"

"You can count on me cuz!" Skyla sighed as she looked after her cousin, yes he was gentle, but he didn't always give great pep talks, or tell some pony the right thing.

"Hey uh, Ball-"

"Screwball,"

"Screwball, do you know who Discord is?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Who is he then?"

"A draconequus..."

"Not what is he, who is he?"

"Oh! He's my-"

"Mom's friend, her mom's friend." Dusk interrupted

"Why didn't you let the filly say it herself?"

"What does it matter to you, Gastly?"

"I guess it doesn't. Is the filly to nervous to talk to strangers?"

"If you couldn't talk to strangers, how would you make any friends?"

"You know, that's smart for an earth pony."

"OH NO, YOU DID NOT JUST CALL ME AN EARTH PONY!!!!!!!!!!!" Screwball's hair started to turn to fire.

"Screwy!!!!! What are you doing?!"

"Cinnamon?" Screwy looked down and saw her best friend from Sweet Apple Acres.

"What are you doing?!"

"Being mad, why?"

"Do you want to end up like mmm?" Dusk covered up her mouth then whispered into her ear something Screwball couldn't catch.

"Why is everypony acting suspicious? I know when you lie, and I can sense magical imbalances, just like my daddy." Dusk and Skyla face-hoofed and Cinnamon shook her head.

"What?" Screwball asked her best friends.

"HER DAD IS DISCORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" All of her classmates, minus the ones she all ready knew, were bursting with laughter or backing away in fear.

"What's wrong with my dad?"

"You mean P*sc*rd? He's the WORST VILLAIN EVER!!!!"

"My dad isn't a villain and that isn't his name."

"Don't talk about our Uncle Discord like that!!" Skyla snapped at them

"Is he even your real uncle?"

"Not biologically, but family comes in all shapes and sizes. How do you think a pegasus is able to love him so strongly with him giving as much love back?"

"Not possible, a monster like him can't be capable of love."

"Daddy isn't a monster," Screwball said, almost to herself, just then, a single tear fell down her cheek, turning colors as it slid. She slightly giggled, then went back to being sad. Cinnamon jumped out of her seat, her twin brother, Jack, following.

"Why are you picking on her? She has the best family, and awesome genes, like us," Cinnamon exclaimed

"Yeah! The deputy of the Wonderbolts, soon to be captain, if Spitfire's wing doesn't heal. And the STRONGEST earth pony there could possibly be! Just because we have two moms doesn't mean we're ashamed, and it's nothing for some pony to pick on is about, we can't change the past, just like Screwy can't change her parents." Screwball's eyes started forming more tears as she looked at Gastly.

"You're lucky daddy is picking me up, he would kill me if I hurt any of you."

"I think daddy would allow it."

"Daddy?" Screwball ran over to him and pulled him into a strong embrace.

"Tell me what happened, in full detail,"

"You are two hours early."

"I know, and I'm glad I am. Your mother was worried someone was going to pick on you for who I am, pay no attention to them." Screwball sniffed and soaked Discord's fur in tears. Discord buried his head in her shoulder and rubbed her back with his paw.

"Are you alright little one?"

"Yes daddy, I-I think I'm good."

"Now what are we going to do about these little monsters?"
