//------------------------------// // 79 You Ruin EVERYTHING // Story: Moonie shorts [Filly Nightmare Moon] // by Eighth //------------------------------// You and Moonie are sitting on the couch with a big bucket of popcorn as you're about to watch a movie. "Ready?" You ask. "One sec," she replies as she hovers a single piece of popcorn in front of her face. "What are you doing--" Moonie launches the popcorn into the air but the piece begins to fly backwards so as Moonie adjusts the her positioning, her head meets the back of the couch while the popcorn sails to the floor behind the couch. "You're picking that up." "Once more, i can do this." You continue to sit there as Moonie launches popcorn after popcorn piece into the air and misses every time. Even the once with a good throw she somehow manages to miss, instead taking it to the eye or shoulder. The closest she got was the popcorn piece that booped her nose. "Moonie," you tiredly exclaim as you grab a single piece, "Like this." You launch it into the air and watch it like a hawk stares down its prey then as it begins its descent you adjust your head in a a seemingly random pattern then snap at the right time for you to catch it. "See," you say as you chew. Moonie glares at you then says in an irate and sarcastic tone, "Oh, I had no idea that catching it was all I needed to do." She rolls her eyes and does it once more, but this time she doesn't move until the descent then her head movements seem to mirror your own. The world seems to go into slow motion as it moves closer and closer, then just barely you catch the faint magical glow around the popcorn piece as it moves in mid air to land into her mouth. "I DID IT!" "Disqualified." "WHAT?!" "I saw the magic." "I didn't use magic, that was all talent." "Don't lie," you reply in your authoritative parental voice. "DAMMIT! You can't just watch that sort of thing, you ruined it! You ruin everything." With a wry grin you take two pieces and launch one to catch in your mouth. Then once you do, you launch the other at Moonie and hit her right on the lips. This sends the filly into a state of fury. Her eyes widen and her ethereal mane almost looks to be made of steam. Using her magic, she grabs a bunch of popcorn and begins to fire them like a gattling gun, so you grab a handful of your own and leap behind the couch to occasionally fire a single piece when safe. Rather than watch the movie, the two of you spend the entire time using things from popcorn to pillows to have a fight until you're both exhausted and fall asleep where you fall.
