First Day Of The Job


Crossfire stared into Discord’s eyes in disbelief. “Wha- What do you mean?” Discord grinned madly and he leaned back. 
“I know who your parents are. However, I am not going to tell you. What fun would that be?” He then resumed the game he was playing.
“I command you to tell me who they are.” Crossfire huffed.
“Ahahaha!” Discord burst into a loud laugh. “Or what?”
“I will kick you out of the castle.”
“You can’t do that.”
“I think I can. I am the captain now.” Crossfire smirked. Discord flattened his ears and rolled his eyes. 
“You don’t have that much power.” He replied, still staring at the screen. “Go ask Sir Sombra.”
“Sir Sombra?” Crossfire’s eyes widened. He took a step back as he heard the name. He remembered stumbling upon the former king once. His deep red eyes pierced his heart and the purple fog around his eyes made his appearance even more sinister. The dark stallion had returned from a mission he was sent on. Crossfire was filling in for the janitor then. He had to clean Sombra’s room.
“What?” Discord cocked an eyebrow.
“DO YOU WANT ME TO BE KILLED?” Crossfire snapped.
“Now now Crossfire. You know I want no such thing.” Discord turned his head  180 degrees.
“Fine... I’ll ask Sombra.” Crossfire exited the room and bumped into princess Luna. “So sorry Princess.”
“What were you doing in my room?”
“Talking to Discord.”
“Why? Discord Is not supposed to be in there.”
“He is. And he’s playing a game.”
“Which one guard?”
“The last of us.”
“NO ONE TOUCHES THE ROYAL GAMERS LAST OF US!” Her eyes turned into a flurry of blue fire and she ran into her room, kicking Discord out. Crossfire chuckled and walked into a deserted corridor. He knocked on a tall, grey door; dark crystals shielded it from harm. It slowly opened to reveal a dark stallion, similar to Crossfire.  
“What business do you have here..?” Sombra asked in a deep voice.
“May I come in?” Crossfire tilted his head. Sombra let him in and pulled out a chair. 
“Alright, what do you want?”
“Discord said something...you know who my parents were.”
“I have no Idea what you are talking about son.” Sombra said. Crossfire brushed off the fact that Sombra called him ‘son’ probably something old ponies say.
“But...”
“Discord lies. You know that.”
“Yeah.” Crossfire sighed. 
“If you have nothing else to say, get out of my room. I’m expecting some pony.”
Crossfire left with another sigh and saw Princess Twilight pacing. “Something wrong Princess?”
“My brothers train crashed and we have no way to get there. I would go myself, but I can’t fly that far.”
“I could go...” He mumbled.
“Would you?” Twilight’s ears perked.
“Yeah. Anything for a Princess.”
oOo
Crossfire left the castle; looking back, he saw the lavender mare waving. He smiled, waving back as he set off on his journey. He felt as if he was being circled by sharks( Maybe because he was being circled)He looked around to see a dark purple mare bouncing around him shouting a name of a band.
“Ponyfloyd, Ponyfloyd, PONYFLOYD!” She grinned, stopping in front of Crossfire. “Hello! What’s your name? Never mind! I’m mourning! And did you hear? Course you did! Ponyfloyd’s performing here soon!”
“I’m sorry, but who is ‘Pony Floyd?” Crossfire asked.
“You don’t know who ponyfloyd is?!” Mourning gasped. “They are only the most amazing, most hypnotizing band of all time!”
“Yeah they sound greaaat...” Crossfire rolled his eyes.
“Where are you going.” Mourning asked as Crossfire walked past her.
“To find a train crash...” He said.
“Can I come?”
“No.”
“Please.”
“No.”
“Pleaaassse?”
“NO!” Crossfire growled and ran off.
