//------------------------------// // Chapter 6: Untitled // Story: Nothin' but Button // by TheGandyMan //------------------------------// Stereo Mic awoke with a start. A sound had brought him from his deepest of slumbers. His eyes looked around frantically for the offending noise. Soon enough, his eyes landed to the left of his bed where a blob of white stood. Mic rubbed his eyes and looked again. Looking again, he could see that there was a goose in his room. Yes, a goose. It opened its yellow bill and let out another round of noise. HONK! Mic winced at the loud noise and looked around, "Button!" Silence responded, "Button, not sure if I'm actually awake right now but there's a goose in my room! Do you know anything about this?!" HONK! Mic huffed when nothing but the goose responded. He looked at it, unsure what he should do. He did not have much time to consider this though as the goose proceeded to waddle out of the room hurriedly. Mic attempted to follow but had forgotten that blankets were made of physical matter. Said matter was tangled around his back legs. Luckily, Mic managed to stop his chin from impacting the floorboards by flapping his wings. After frantically untangling himself, Mic made his way down the hallway and into the living space. To his relief, the goose was laid out peacefully on the couch of pizza boxes. The goose stared at him blankly. HONK! "Okaaay... uhm... I guess you're good for now. Uhh..." Mic looked around to find a solution but as he turned his head back to the couch, he noticed the goose was no longer present. In a panic he looked around before the flapping of wings got his attention. Turning he looked up at one of the shelves. It held some of his special edition games. The goose began pecking it's beak at the cases before pulling one out and dropping it. HONK! With a yelp of fear, Mic dove and caught the game case. He breathed a sigh of relief though it was short lived as he heard more cases get rustled. As game after game fell down, Mic caught each and everyone. Eventually the goose seemed to be satisfied with it's work and flew off to a different part of the house. Mic, who was carrying games with every extremity he had available, set the games carefully back where they needed to go before he followed after the goose. He found it pulling a pot across the floor. With a grunt of annoyance he reached down and proceeded to pick it up. Unfortunately, the goose did not seem to agree with this decision. It pulled back and Mic soon found himself in a tug of war with the surprisingly strong avian. "Mmnhhnn! HmmHmnn!" Mic grunted through his teeth. He gave one final yank only to feel no resistance as he fell head over hooves onto his back. Scrambling to get back up, Mic looked down at the goose in frustration before putting the pot on the stove. "Alright, pal. I tried being nice but now I'm fed up." He pointed to the door of the apartment. The goose looked at the door, then back at the pegasus. Mic sighed, "Get out." More staring, "Ugh, stupid bird." HONK! The goose then bolted around Mic and towards the door. Mic sighed in relief until he realized the goose could not very well open the door. "How in the hay do you even get inside if you can't open the door?" With annoyed and confused look he goes over and attempts to unlock the door. After fiddling with the knob for a bit Mic finally gets the door open. "Oh! Button. Sweetie. Hey." Before stood the two ponies who looked surprised at first that the door had opened automatically before realizing it was mere coincidence. "Hey, Mic, what's..." Button paused and pointed behind the pegasus, "Uhh... the hay happened here?" Turning around, Mic's jaw dropped as he noticed the goose was gone and in its wake had left absolute chaos. Pots, books, and other items were scattered around the apartment. Mic could formulate no words as he he looked around the mess. He turned back to Button who only smirked. "I swear this is the last time I leave the nerd on his own."
