//------------------------------// // Meeting mangle // Story: legion // by The oracle //------------------------------// (18 years later after the last chapter ) As legion walked down the hallway to the feeding center, he could feel a familiar presence on the ceiling above. He yelled " Mangle, I know your up there, so you can come down now." As a small changling dropped down with a sheepish grin on her face, she said " 987, you know my number is 679." Legion replied " Well excuse me for giving you a name that is easier to remember than a number." As they walked down to the feeding area Mangle started talking " I hope they have ponies today. They taste much better than the centaurs we had yesterday. " Legion said with exasperation in his voice " Mangle you know that we only get ponies on special days, like when a queen or princess is born. Tell me, has a princess or Queen egg been lain yet?" " No, but that can't stop me from hoping!"She yelled with a grin plastered onto her face. He sighed and replied " Mangle , you can be such a pig at times." Mangle then said " Well maybe you shouldn't be so serious. I mean seriously, you are harder on me than an overseer and they were born to be serious." He then said " Then do you hang around with little old me?" Mangle said " 987, your as big as a warrior. Don't sell yourself short. You know what princess pupa would say to that kind of thinking." They both said in unison " Negative thinking does not get as much love as a positive outlook." Then they reached the feeding area doors. Mangle said " Well, let's go see what disaster we have today," and they stepped inside.
