## *Storyline*

Like Bride of Discord, the audio drama begins with Twilight Sparkle narration, she recaps the story of Bride of Discord before the scene changes to Fluttershy's baby shower at Sugarcube Corner. Which it is revealed that Rainbow Dash is expecting twins, but it leads into a discussion on who would be the godparents of their foals, Applejack and Spike's relationship and the relationships of Twilight and Rarity who are dating Flash Sentry and Fancy Pants. As Fluttershy unpacks Pinkie Pie's gift: propeller hat and thanks her friends who then begins to have contractions, after Discord teleports Fluttershy to the hospital where Derpy Hooves who is also having her baby. After giving birth, to their surprise the foal is a pink earth pony with purple eyes with pink swirls acting as her pupils, the foal has shown to be able to use chaotic magic which she clearly inherited from her father who decided to call her Screwball. The narration continues explaining the the lives of the mane 6 who are each getting married and having kids, including Big Macintosh and Cheerilee who have a daughter Apple Blossom who becomes one of Screwball's best friends.

The story starts (without narration) with Cinnamon Stick showing off his cutie mark which is two cinnamon sticks on his flank, (where all cutie marks are positioned) causing Apple Blossom to be disheartened as she is the last in the group to not get her cutie mark. They all agree to help her in finding her talent when they overhear Gold Digger calling ponies over to play basketball, the group run over but Apple Blossom, Dinky Doo and Cinnamon Stick is hesitant since he is one of the two resident bullies the other called Silver Tray. Unfortunately, it leads to an argument when the two bullies refuse to let Screwball and Dinky play but it escalates when Gold Digger throws the basketball at Dinky who is knocked into the mud and is taunted leading to Screwball losing her temper and using them as the basketball. As Screwball uses her magic on them Apple Blossom runs into the school and tells her mother who then reprimands her and explains what happened to their parents who begin arguing between themselves. Once the meeting is over Fluttershy then gives her daughter advice on her powers and Derpy suggests going to Sugarcube Corner which both Dinky and Screwball enthusiastically agree and ask Fluttershy if they could which she says yes to. At Sugarcube Corner Pinkie Pie out of breath quickly explains on her position, as Screwball notices her friends and tries to leave Fluttershy stops her and urges her to talk to them. At dinner the room is quiet leading Discord to ask on why it's so silent who then finds out what Screwball did at school and reacts to the news happily and begins to spin his daughter around, Fluttershy who doesn't approve of her daughter's actions and her husband response ends with him sleeping on the couch and being blocked from his bedroom thanks to Screwball's chaotic power. He then attempts to bribe his daughter and offers to give more but it doesn't work as Screwball refuses and decides to go to bed early.

After a nightmare Screwball is consoled by her father who told her of the time he snapped, physically harmed and confessed to her mother, and asks her if anyone forgiven her for her outburst (her friends) and states that they are the ones who matter. As he begins to tuck Screwball in, she asks if he would sing a lullaby who hesitates but agrees and suggests the two sing together and is bid goodnight, (Daddy Discord (Lullaby Version) it is confirmed in song that Screwball got her cutie mark at a baseball game by using her magic to make the game better. That next morning, she sneaks out into the Everfree Forest early towards an area that she can be herself, but miles away is the Changeling Hive where Queen Chrysalis is planning her next attack on her enemies. Prince Mothball who is the son and heir of Chrysalis is told he is permitted to leave the hive to go on his first hunt which all royal changelings do when they reach the age of 12, he is obviously enthusiastic about leaving and when he does leave his mother has General Mantis to send a scout (Privates Acari & Bombus) to watch over him as he is a novice. During his hunt, Mothball hears a voice and heads towards it where he sees Screwball playing and his heart begins to beat. Using a spell his mother taught him, Mothball looks to see what Screwball loves most so he takes the form of Dinky which backfires on him when since she can tell when creatures are lying and turns back to his regular form, after taking a thorn from a manticore they start to hang out but what they didn't know was that the scouts flew back to the hive to alert the queen. As the two continue to play (chess at the time) Discord teleports in-between the two and yells at Mothball who runs away in fear, before Discord could deal with him Chrysalis appears hissing at him. The two exchange hostile remarks before they part ways and are reprimanded, although Chrysalis schemes to use her son's friendship to Discord's daughter to her advantage to take over Equestria.

After a week has passed, Screwball is ungrounded and is allowed to go play with her friends and is at the Cutie Mark Crusaders Clubhouse where Apple Blossom is attempting to see if teaching is her special talent to get her Cutie Mark and while at the club Screwball asks her friends on changelings, who gave a negative response. Later that day, Mothball is training to master transformations of different animals, but when he is sent to bed he overhears the other changelings (his half-siblings) insult him. Using his magic to turn into a fruit fly Mothball flies out of the hive to go and see if Screwball would like to hang out, who at the time is in bed listening to Fluttershy telling her of the changeling attack on Canterlot. After her mother walks out Mothball taps on the glass so they can have more of that fun they were having the week before. When the two meet up again they start to discuss their parents and how they became to be, as the two spend more time with each other they start to grow attached Screwball especially. At school Apple Blossom had finally gotten her cutie mark (perfumes) thanks to Thunder Dash saying she smelled nice, although Screwball who had been busy distracted by drawing hearts in the ground. When the girls start to question on who the initials in the hearts next to hers are, luckily the school bell starts ringing, signaling school starting, but on her way home Screwball can't help but sing of her growing feelings of Mothball who is starting to grow feelings for her. (Just Plain Weird) Her friends aren't the only one to notice her peculiar behavior but her parents have also noticed too, Fluttershy notices that her daughter is developing her first crush but Discord isn't too thrilled. Once her parents have gone to sleep Screwball would continuously meet Mothball who would hang out and ask questions, but it doesn't last long as Chrysalis had known for several weeks. She instructs him to break Screwball's heart who is outraged when her son refuses and tells him how they lost their hearts and how having no heart is are better than having one, (Hearts Are Made For Breaking) left with no choice Mothball goes to break Screwball's heart who both pretend to hate each other to trick Chrysalis.

5 years has passed and things have changed, Screwball and Dinky are now 15 and celebrating at Discord's Castle, Fluttershy and Discord have another baby a son named Zany and Applejack and Spike has a dragon-pony hybrid baby boy they named Applespike. During the party they begin to discuss the gala including the CMC who are in a band and will be performing onstage. Later that night, Mothball is sent out to hunt as ordered by his mother meanwhile Screwball is having a sleepover at hers and is told by Lightning Dust that Gold Digger has gotten a job on a rock farm due to having a bad attitude. The conversation is quickly changed towards the gala and Apple Blossom's crush on Thunder Dash and Dinky's crush on Cinnamon Stick who immediately changes it to Screwball who then changes it to Lighting. But as the girls continue talking Discord uses his magic to summon a thunder storm and balloons with evil smiles on, back in Ponyville Mothball takes the form of Lightning to drain Aquafresh of her love but is unable to do it and laments about having no heart. (Changing) When he comes across Discord's Castle he goes to see if she is awake but unfortunately Dinky starts to wake up and he quickly hides away. Dinky comes clean about her birthday wish which Screwball knew and consoles her and comes clean about why she leaves a chocolate bar on her window, after the pair are asleep Mothball takes the chocolate and puts a rose as a birthday gift. On the night of the Grand Galloping Gala, both rulers, Celestia and Luna have business in Yakyakinstan meanwhile her sister-in-law Cadence, her brother Shining Armor and niece Flutterby Lilly are unable to attend because they are too are busy in the Crystal Empire. Which leaves Twilight in charge and responsible of the gala and guests. She is overjoyed to see her friends have arrived and asks Pinkie Pie and Red Shoes to be the entertainment, after meeting up Thunder Dash as well as Cinnamon Stick gathers the courage to ask Apple Blossom and Dinky to dance and be their date. Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom have finally arrived and catches up with their family and starts to set up to sing. Unfortunately not long after everypony left Aquafresh and Lightning Dash starts to argue over Aquafresh's view on Screwball, Fancy Pants arrive and walks up to Rarity and begins to ask her why she ran off and it leads to Rarity entering the garden but gets into another argument with her friend Applejack. Now all set up, Scootaloo, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle notifies the audience of what type of song they will be singing onstage, (Most Chaotically) Mothball (who is in disguise) takes the opportunity to dance with Screwball. To get some alone time the two  finds an area in the garden that is isolated and Screwball convinces Mothball to change back into himself. Unfortunately they are discovered by Discord but before he could use his magic on him is knocked back into a tree by an emotional Screwball.

The following morning she is reprimanded and grounded for disobeying him and for loving a monster which Fluttershy defends her by reminding him that she also was treated the same way by others in the previous story. Mothball soon finds Screwball crying by the chocolate lake she created and tells him that she has a baby brother and can use chaotic magic too, but also that her friends are dating. Screwball attempts to help him understand that he has a heart but he refuses to believe it and flies away leaving Screwball crying alone. She teleports back to Canterlot Castle where the Mane 6 are and turns in for the night and Twilight offers to talk to her in the morning, Rarity then asks Fluttershy on how she makes her marriage to Discord work. Unable to get Screwball to talk about Mothball Dinky (with the tri-pies help) starts singing to her who then later joins in, (Really Great Pair + Reprise) after the song the Twilight walks in and tells her to follow her and leads her in a part of the castle and offers advice. When Mothball returns to the changeling hive he refuses to continue to be part of the plan, however he gives in when Chrysalis threatens to hurt Screwball if he doesn't give the information she wants. It's been more than a week since Screwball had a fight with her father and has locked herself in her room with Zany, Fluttershy decides to sort it out at dinner. Meanwhile Mothball escapes his room after Acari and Bombus argue to warn Screwball of his mother's plan, at her apple stand Applejack and Cinnamon Roll sees Fluttershy and a random pony and soon after Discord. Heartbroken he flashbacks to where he and Chrysalis reunite as teens and when he is called a freak by the ponies and Princess Celestia and begins to takeover Equestria. In the park Screwball is resting on a bench while the tri-pies, Prism and Gemstone are playing, but is later approached by Mothball (in disguise) and her father who then convivences her by telling her he knows where to find Gold Digger and Silver Tray. After leaving the spa, Fluttershy and Rarity slip on soap filled roads and then told Discord is on a rampage and Twilight wants all Element Bearers at Cantelot. Fluttershy agrees to have Discord out in a time out but after they put the Elements on, Chrysalis disguised as Discord taunts them and is given 24 hours or he'll be turned to stone. After finding Zany Discord flies to Screwball who teleports from him, (after telling him to leave her and Zany out of spreading chaos) and is manipulated by Chrysalis to believe that Mothball drained her of love since they met her. Before she is taken prisoner Screwball uses the last of her power to teleport away and is found by Mothball after she collapses.

In an another flashback it's revealed that Chrysalis was the reason behind Discord's takeover of Equestria and being turned to stone. Chrysalis leaves General Mantis to find Screwball to use as leverage against her son, and teleports to Discord as Zany to drain more of his love. Eventually Mothball comes across Zecora's hut who makes a soup to help heal her and allows him to stay and helps him realize that he has a heart. An hour later Screwball wakes up but as soon as Mothball walk in Screwball runs away and ends up in front of the chocolate river she created as a filly, but the two make up and Mothball admits he loves her. (Most Chaotically (Reunion Duet) The next morning Screwball wakes up and finds out that Mothball left hours ago and that her aunts and mom are going to turn Discord to stone and leaves to warn and stop them. After finding him Twilight tells him his 24 hours are up and Fluttershy attempts to reason with him but to no avail, before they begin to use the Elements power Screwball steps in between them and reveals that Chrysalis is disguised as Zany. She reveals that she had been causing trouble in the mane 6's lives by sabotaging their relationships, by taking the forms of Twilight and Fleur-de-lis, she originally planned on taking Rarity's form to rekindle the feelings Spike had for her but decided against it as she needed the friendship between Applejack and Rarity to be stable. After attacking Discord she orders the changelings to attack and to leave Discord to her, during the battle the changelings use the mane 6's relationships against them, in an attempt to find Screwball in a group of them Discord starts to sing a verse from Daddy Discord which the real Screwball finishes. To protect his family he teleports them behind a haycart and taunts Chrysalis as the ongoing war continues Prism, Dinky, the tri-pies, Red Shoes, Cinnamon Stick, Cinnamon Roll, Spike, Apple Blossom and Big Macintosh join in the battle. In order to protect Discord, Fluttershy runs in but gets hurt, enraged Discord attacks Chrysalis (The Battle Song) which ends with her overpowering him. In an attempt to ask Screwball to join her in ruling Equestria, Chrysalis offers her throne and her son but her offer is rejected and before she has a chance to attack Mothball appears and is pushed out of the way of the beam, where he finally learns of how a royal changeling is conceived, how his mother lied about him not having heart and the fact his mother was in love with Discord. After protecting Screwball from his mother a forcefield appears protecting the both of them but the two come to an agreement that it was time to end it, in an attempt to use the power of their love to defeat her Screwball kisses Mothball which then causes magic to surround them and blast Chrysalis and her changeling army back and restore Ponyville to normal. The happiness of their win doesn't last long after the realization of Fluttershy's state is remembered but to their relief she lives, soon after Pinkie Pie and Red Shoes organize a party where Fancy Pants finally caught up to Rarity and apologized with Applejack watching nearby who is then approached by Spike who then asks about what the changelings told her and comforts her, Aquafresh and Lightning Dash come to an agreement to be friends before they deciding to be more. Separate from the others Discord and Fluttershy who want some alone time with each other start discussing the events that previously happened. The story ends with Twilight narration who was telling the story of Daughter of Discord to Twinkle Sparkle, Zany, Jewel and Applespike, and a big finish number. (The Very Thing)
