Tirek yawned as he shuffled past the nearly overflowed trash pit. Placed atop the massive mound of garbage was a fussy Cozy, she had floated in her suspended state for at least three days. The tiny pony hungry with a saddened muzzle scrunched in dismay, those large vibrant eyes full of growing worry.
Tirek easily lifted a humongous boulder onto his broad toned shoulders, he needed to seal off the stench of this pit before it completely rotted. With a stone-faced expression, he locked eyes with the pitiful child, ready to slam down the boulder at a moment's notice.
Cozy sniffled in her prison.
Tirek gave a bored blink.
Cozy lifted a limp hoof against the cocoon surface as if to plead for mercy.
Tirek blinked again.
Cozy let her lips form into a saddened frown, the centaur lifted the boulder over his head.
Tirek simply sighed.
"Golly, I really thought you'd crush me!" Cozy sat at the rotted table of the lair, tail swished in excitement as she chomped down on a burnt cheese sandwich from Tirek.
"Yes, it crossed my mind." Tirek snorted with slumped shoulders, the centaur sat to the right of the child.
"But you couldn't! Because you like me!!" Cozy hummed with a sly smirk.
"No, I utterly despise you." Tirek narrowed his eyes as the world around him darkened.
"Each night I stay awake in awe, wondering what despicable act I committed to be cursed with such a horrid little spawn such as you." Tirek clenched his teeth as both hands clutched into mighty fists.
"Unable to sleep I pray to a higher power, I plead that this torture would end and that when I arrive at this table in the morning that I'd be greeted with these words "Cozy Glow has passed in her sleep.", Yet each day you disappoint me." Tirek locked eyes with the child who blushed.
"Aww, I love you too!" Cozy chomped down on the crunchy bread in delight.
"Why did you dig my failed creation out of the trash?" Tirek rolled both eyes in defeat.
"Om-nom, hungry!" Cozy spit out a pebble from her mouth.
"This is truly a living…" Tirek began to speak as a disgruntled Chrysalis trotted into the room full of anger.
"Why is "it" still alive!?" Chrysalis snorted out of both nostrils.
"My bestest friend spared my life, blehhh!" Cozy flashed a tongue covered in chewed food towards the fallen Queen.
"You sentimental fool!" Chrysalis snapped fanged jaws towards the centaur.
"I didn't feel like cleaning up the mess, from the inevitable crushing." The centaur rubbed his temples from a growing headache.
"I am a sprayer." Cozy beamed with pride.
"Whatever, I'm heading towards Canterlot for recon." Chrysalis arched a thin brow towards the group of allies that she hated with a passion.
"With much disgust, I must ask for help." She grumbled through clenched fangs, emerald-colored eyes locked onto the horrid child.
"Don't look at me you overgrown slug! I'm thinking of ways to annihilate you." Cozy turned away with a pout, tiny hooves stuffed the last of the food into her mouth greedily.
"I wasn't asking you brat!" Chrysalis hissed.
"MAGGOT!" Cozy spewed food everywhere.
"Annoyance!!" Chrysalis lifted a hoof in defense.
"Buggy b..." Cozy was suddenly smacked on the back of the head by Tirek's gigantic hand.
"If I go Chrysalis, will you promise me I won't return?" Tirek groaned as he lifted to his feet.
"Can't promise anything!" Chrysalis stomped away in a fit of rage.
"Aww, I was hoping we could play "Slaughter the princess."." Cozy sighed as she lowered under the table, only to lift upward holding a knife and a Twilight plushie.
"That just sounds absolutely horrible." Tirek began to shuffle out of the room.
"Defeating a princess?" Cozy scrunched her muzzle.
"No, just you!" Tirek's voice wafted to the child from the next room over.
"Phst, Killjoy!" Cozy snorted before she plunged the blade into the toy's backside.
A new day would bring forth new annoyances.
