//------------------------------// // In which...he spies a cockroach // Story: In Which Discord does stuff. // by Grey Faerie //------------------------------// Discord reached for a box in the cupboard. It was open on the top and he was mildly annoyed that someone couldn't bother to close it. He brought the box down and saw a roach crawl out of the box. Discord's stomach fall, he became cold, his hands were suddenly clammy and he couldn't feel them anymore. "EEEEEEeeeeeeee!!!" Discord squealed and dropped the box. He shuffled back several feet then held onto a chair for support. Discord looked around quickly to make sure no one saw him screaming like a little girl. No one. Good. He cautiously stepped over to where the bug was. A snap of the fingers and a large mallet appeared. It squashed the bug dead. Good. Stay dead. Discord walked over and picked up the box with two fingers and arms lengths away. He tossed it into the trash. Discord frowned at the lost of the box but he wasn't going back into the cupboard to find anything else. Discord was in Fluttershy's kitchen. Pinkie and Fluttershy were in the living room packing for a picnic by the lake. Pinkie hopped around folding towels. "Can you get me a lid out of the cupboard?" Fluttershy asked, "Just make sure you don't disturb the little creatures living in there." "Okay Fluttershy." He smiled at her comment. He opened the doors and hell rained down on him. Or more exactly, roaches fell on him. "EEEEEEEEeeeeee!!! Ahhhhhhhh!" Discord was blinded from fear as he shook them off. He ran into the living room and jumped on Fluttershy's back. He then grabbed the boxes of raisins on the tables and threw them into the kitchen. "Take them! I don't even like raisins!" Fluttershy grunted a little from his constant movement, "Are you ,ooff, afraid of roaches?" "What!" Discord's manly pride decided to make a showing of itself, "No, of course not! I'm not afraid of them. It's just that they get into everything. They get into my chocolate, the knaves! Darn you! Stay way from my sugar packets! And my frosting, and bowls of sugar water, and especially my chocolate milk!" He waved a fist at them. "Aww, they like you." Pinkie giggled. He glared at her. "They still love you." She pointed at his shoulder. He squealed again and fell off Fluttershy. Pinkie was on the floor as well laughing. He realized nothing was there and blushed.
