Anon, Screwball, and Screwloose

"C'mon on now Screwball! I don't want to see auntie Screwloose today."

>"Quit being such a butthead Anon. You know she likes it when she sees us."

"That's because we're the only ones who actually visit her." You say with a huff.

>Screwball pauses, contemplating what you said.

>She sighs, "You're right Anon." She sits down, looking at the ground.

"Hey now, don't get like that. Please?" You crouch down, putting your hand on her head. "Come on Screwball, let's go see Auntie."

>Lifting her up on her legs, she smiles at you

>"Let's bring her something to eat too!"

"Sure why not? I'm guessing hospital food might be getting old for her."

>Screw giggles, "Yea, wouldn't you?"

"I suppose, but let's go, visiting hours are only for another hour and a half."

>"Okay, just let me grab my bag."

>With that she runs upstairs.

>After a minute has passed, she comes back down with her propeller hat.

>"Well?"

"Well what? Let's go."

>The both of you walk to Sugarcube Corner to pick out some food for your aunt and yourselves. You just buy a

>Screwball picked out a swirly cupcake, with purple and white frosting. You just buy a banana nut muffin and you grab some cookies and a couple cupcakes for Screwloose.

>Paying the cakes, you both leave for the Ponyville Hospital.

>You can't help to smile. Even though you disliked going to the hospital, you still loved your aunt and you're always happy to see her.

>Screwball notices your constant smiling and she puts on a smile just like yours.

>About 15 minutes, you're standing in front of the hospital.

>Walking in, Nurse Redheart just nods at you and points down the hallway.

>Nodding back, you start walking down the familiar hallway.

>You begin to have memories of when you first walked down this hallway.

>Watching to of the Male nurses dragging her to her room.

>She was crying, and so were screwball and you.

>It was a painful separation.

>Your only provider was torn from the both of you.

>All because of Discord.

>You remember when he was in Ponyville, wreaking havoc on everyp0ny. Just for his pleasure and amusement.

>But when he saw your aunt, he thought it would be great to mess with her.

>He merely touched her head and she went nuts. She started barking, chasing after other p0nies.

>That's when he looked at you and smirked. You'll never forget those words he said to you.

>"You're already Chaotic enough, whatever you are. I'll let you grow and see what you become." With that he disappeared.

>You just stood there, staring at nothing, scared.

>Screwball snapped you back into reality bumping into you.

>She was flubbering her lips while floating around

>You thought Discord's influence had gotten to her.

>But no, she was just pretending to have lost her mind.

>Clever girl.

>The both of you ran back home and hid.

>It had been hours before everything went back to normal.

>Discords touch left everything and everything was back to normal.

>Well, not everything.

>Your aunt was still tainted with his magic.

>All because of that dracoequus.

>When you come back from your flashback, you're sitting at a table, staring eye with your aunt.

>Maybe today is the day the magic has left her.

"Hey auntie. How have you been?"

>She starts panting.

>Of course, it's the same thing every time you visit. She just acts like a dog while the both of you try to talk to her.

>It frustrates you being here, but just seeing her stops you from leaving.

>Screwball knows this, but she never comments on this.

>She usually hugs Screwloose the whole time the both of you are there, but this time, she just sits next to you, staring at her.

"The doctors say the magic should be dissipating anytime now" Your eyes begin to form moisture. " and when it does you can finally come home."

>She begins to bark.

>All you could do was lay your head in your arms.

"Damn it." you whisper under your breath.

>"What was that An-"

"I SAID 'DAMN IT'!" you yell as you hit the table.

>Screwball is taken back from this.

>Hell, this is the first time you acted like this, but after time, it really does begin to wear down on a person.

>You begin to cry.

>Screwball rubs your back, trying to calm you down.

>Your aunt is still barking at you.

>All you can do is sit there and sputter words.

>"Come on Anon, let's go home. Time is almost up."

"Right." you whisper with a down look on your face. "Oh yea, these are for you auntie." you say putting the bag on the table.

>Both of you get up and start walking to the door.

>Screwloose begins to sniff to bag, then tears into it.

>You walk past the nurses, nodding at them.

>They both walk through the door.

"See you next week Redheart." Those words became routine for you every time you left.

>She would only smile and say the same to you.

>Once out of the hospital, you told Screwball you were going for a walk and you would meet her back at the house.

>"Alright Anon, see you back home and try not to get into trouble."

You laugh, "Alright, I won't. You should make waffles for dinner tonight."

>"Will do." and with that, you both walk in opposite directions.

>You contemplate on where to go.

"Twilights? No, she'll just want to study me more. Rarity's? No." You snap your fingers. "I'll go see what Applejack is doing."

>So you began walking to her farm.

>Still thinking about today.

"Maybe next week Screwloose."
