The Singing Toaster

by Flames173


Scary toasters and nice ponies

After listening to several poorly rendered songs to involve the words 'toast' and toasts' and, clearly, the brand name of the toaster, all the while the machine pumping out burnt bread repeatedly, Rainbow Dash started to get sick of smearing butter all over the creations.
"Toasty." The pegasus aptly named the machine. "I like the toast and all, but, I'm getting kind of sick of it."
"Toast toast toast, toast is good, toast, is, great.~" The machine slowed down it's singing and stopped creating toast. How it did is a mystery, it didn't even have bread!
"Look, I'll eat toast every day for breakfast, just, please, stop making toast."
"But, toast." The toaster's happy tune stopped and was replaced by a dreadful tone.
"Ok, still friends?"
Silence.
"Umm, Toasty?"
She still got nothing in response.
"Ok, I'm just gonna go now." Rainbow turned around to go to her room. Something wrapped around her rear hoof. "Huh?" She looked at her new binding. A thick black wire pulled her slowly towards the counter. "What's happening?!" Rainbow screamed in a panic and tried to escape the toaster which was now alive, and no longer plugged in.
"Why would you do this to me? This is all I have. After sitting on that shelf so long, I finally have a purpose. You are NOT taking that away from me!" The voice of the toaster had an ominous sounding edge to it.
"GET ME OUT OF HERE!" Rainbow picked up a can of soup that, somehow, wound up on the floor next to her. It hit the formerly sterling toaster and dented it. She used this distraction to remove herself from the toaster's grip and bolt to safety, or, her room, even though the door to the outside world was right next to her. She locked the door and stood with her back to it. Her heart raced as she heard the toaster slowly scramble down the hall towards her room.
"You don't need to hide my friend, for I am just like you.~" a creepy voice echoed down the hall. The scrambling stopped. Several seconds past. Nothing happened. Seconds seemed to stretch to minutes. Minutes seemed to become hours. But these were the shortest hours ever. A wire shot through the door and splinters of wood went flying.
"AHH!" Rainbow dashed to the end of the room. "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?"
"Don't run away from the truth. Cuz I'm not giving up on you.~"
"NO, I AM NOT JUST LIKE YOU! THAT IS NOT THE TRUTH!" Rainbow flew over the possessed machine and out of her home. She stopped on her porch, surprised to see that a famous DJ was setting up shop just outside her home.
"Hey yo rainbow chick. Could ya give me a hand? I need these planks down so I don't fall through the clouds, not sure how much longer this spell is gonna last." The white unicorn called from a cloud several yards off. She was laying wooden boards down on it.
Rainbow Dash quickly flew to the mare. "Please, you gotta help me. This evil thing is chasing me! Hey, is this a cannon?" Rainbow looked at an oddly shaped box on the cloud.
"Actually, yes."
"People coluldn't believe what I've become. Revolutionaaaaries wait, for my head on a silver plate.~" the toaster sang as it stepped into the doorway.
"KILL IT!" Rainbow hopped behind the box and pushed a button. The bass cannon shot out a beam and hit the toaster dead on.
"WOAH!" Vinyl ran up and shut the machine off. "What are you doing? This thing is lethal! What did you even shoot at?"
"That toaster! It's trying to kill me!"
"Ugg." Vinyl used her magic to pull the toaster over to the two mares. "See? It's fine! Just a normal toaster."
"Dwub bubbadauda wuuub.~" The toaster sang.
"Woah a dubtoaster! Sweet! You selling?" Vinyl took off her glasses and inspected the machine closer.
"Uhh, yeah, ten bits." Rainbow said.
"Eight."
"Eleven."
"3 and two free tickets to my gig."
The two ponies haggled back and forth, eventually settling on seven bits and a small favor for the toaster.
"All right, good luck." Rainbow said when she flew back to her home.
"You too." Vinyl said as she place the last board on the cloud.
"Well, how am I going to repair the damages?" Rainbow walked to her room and stepped on a splinter of wood.
Rainbow squealed as she sat up in her bed, sweating profusely and breathing heavily. "Oh thank Celestia, it was just a dream."
"You don't need to hide my friend, for I am, just, like, you~" a metallic voice sang.
