The formerly mighty Tirek way lying down and staring straight ahead while mumbling to a tune. All sense of time had left him. He didn’t know how long he had been in his prison, and he was slowly losing his knowledge of who he was, where he came from, and where he was and why.
The only sensation he had left to cling to, was ironically enough the incessant sounds that had corroded his mind, and tethered all that was left of his sanity on it.
Weeks or eons, he couldn’t tell. Always, the song played.
“♫ Lollipop, lollipop, oh lolli lolli lolli. Lollipop, lollipop, oh lolli lolli lolli♪”
A small, twisted grin formed beneath Tirek’s unseeing eyes, and he waited...
“♫Lollipop♪” Tirek quietly mouthed the next word.
“POP!”
A smile of relief came to his features, but it slowly faded as the song continued.
Then came the time again. Tirek’s eyes lit up from their deadened gaze, he quietly prepared to breathe the word.
“♫Lollipop♪”
No sound came.
Tirek’s gaze became alive as his eyes whipped towards the ledge where the music played from.
After a moment, the song continued from where it should’ve after the pop. Tirek watched it intently, his eyes focused with desperate hunger.
“♫Lollipop♪”
“... Pop?” he asked the still air quietly.
The song continued.
Once more, it was time.
“♫Lollipop♪”
Silence.
Tirek’s eyes went wide in panic, and he did something other than lying and waiting for the first time in what felt like eons.
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
Throughout Equestria, ponies stopped in their business, and looked around themselves in worry. There was a low rumble in the ground, but that wasn’t the worrying part, it was the overwhelming sense of despair that came with it.
In a bed, in a room, in a town, Gabrielle Desrochers was reclining against a pillow, relaxing with a book.
The slight tremor reached her, then a small smile formed on her face, and she chuckled impishly.
I have no idea how Celestia or Luna approved such a horrid punishment.
I'm pretty sure there are laws against it
8049645 Gabe is a loose cannon
I saw what song he was singing, and I go lol!
8049646
8049645
Lol!
8050441 Tirek doesn't, but he will, eventually, in a twisted way
Oh, that is just..evil. I lol'd
8051187 It's justice!
It seems Tirek will not escape ?
It good thing because if Tirek drains all magic of Gabe, she may dead .
8052337 This would be after the season 4 finale, so a glimpse into the future or something
It's a preemptive strike. Is that a Machiavellian thing to do?
...what poor Tirek has no idea that it's only been one hour since she left the crystal there...
...just imagine what a day will do to his mind...
...a week...
8052616 When Gabe comes back.
Twilight- "Where have you been?"
Gabe- "Making sure that the world is a more fair place."
8053291 The vuvuzelas of Babylon?
8053327 Nah, it was that Chordettes-song. Which is worse? I don't know
8053558
Babylon might work. I was thinking about the walls around Jericho, though, what with primitive trumpets being more or less the same thing as vuvuzelas.
8059779 Like what happened in the story is much better
Actually, I don't know if I've heard a small world, but as it is, it's pretty bad
8059936 Ah, yeah, Jericho. Whatever, if you've seen one fictional desert city, you've seen them all
That's evil, really really evil. I don't know if his crime was that big...
8140084 Get the humans to do what the ponies can't stomach
I was rereading your stuff when I realized something, this is after Gabe gets back and finds out Tirek destroyed her computer and/or her irreplaceable guitar! Also, her friends library.
Okay, that's just cruel.
8520571
Destroy mine and Gabe's favorite tree-house, and the punishment will be severe
I thought it would maybe be this one.

Heh, the actual song that doesn't end is Feliz Navidad. It's only three minutes long and feels like it's about to end all the time but doesn't. ♫ I wanna wish you a merry christmas, from the bottom, of, my... heeeeaaaaaart! ... ... feliz navidad! feliz navidad... ♪ and then it starts over.
9193694
I sing that all the time. I didn't know what it was at first
In high school we had one that went arround.
I was crazy once.
They locked me up in a little rubber room.
I died in that little rubber room.
The the rats came.
Rats make me crazy.
Crazy?
I was crazy once . .
