> Go Fish > by PPEF1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Go Fish > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Izzy Moonbow headed inside the teahouse in Bridlewood. Entering, the place was filled with unicorns, talking, eating food, and drinking, well tea. Izzy headed up to the counter where Alphabittle was wiping the counter with a towel. “Hey Alphy!” the unicorn shouted from across the counter as she ran up to it. Hearing his name being called, Alphabittle looked up from the counter, seeing Izzy running towards him. “Well, if it isn’t Izzy.” The purple unicorn quickly slowed down her paste, sitting down on a chair. “Tea?” Alphabittle asked. “Tea.” The heavyset unicorn instructed his head to little mice to fetch Izzy a cup of tea as he continued cleaning the counter. One of the rodents pushed a cup towards Izzy while the other poured in a little bit of milk in the cup. “So, how’ve ya been?” Alphabittle asked, still cleaning the counter. “Great! Being with my friends has been fun and seeing all the unicorns smiling is nice to see. And it’s all thanks to Sunny.” Izzy then took a sip from her cup. “Oh, of course. Now that everypony’s happier, they most likely have more energy. And with more energy, they’ll feel more competitive and would like to challenge me at a competition only to realise I’ll clean the floor with them.” Both the two unicorns exchanged a laugh at the little joke. As Izzy continued to drink her tea, she noticed Gloomy Sonnet taking out a box of poker cards. “You gonna challenge her?” Alphabittle asked. “Yeah sure!” Izzy ran up to the beatnik unicorn, taking a seat across from her. “Hey Gloomy! Can I play Go Fish with you?” “Sure Izzy.” Gloomy Sonnet illuminated her horn to shuffle the cards. She then placed two stacks of seven cards while leaving the rest of the cards laid in a stack in the center of the table. “You wanna go first?” Gloomy asked. “Okay.” “Chill.” The gray unicorn illuminated her horn once again. “Here are your cards, just don’t bend them too hard.” “Oh okay.” Izzy inspected her cards before asking for a card. “Do you have any eight’s?” “Nah.” Gloomy noticed that Izzy was slightly bending one of the cards in her left forehoof. “Bro, I know I said not too hard, but try not to bend the cards.” “Oh! I’m sorry,” Izzy said, realizing her actions. The game then continued. “You got any two’s?” Looking at her cards, Izzy noticed she had a two of hearts. “Dang it!” She slammed her right forehoof onto the table, slightly bending her stack in the process. “Bro, don’t bend the cards.” “OH sorry!” Izzy lended her card to Gloomy. “Raad.” “Do you have any four’s?” Gloomy looked up from her deck, noticing that Izzy was practically folding the card in half. “BRO!!” “Huh?” “Stop bending the cards!” “I’m sorry. I didn’t know it would be such a big deal.” “Well now that you bent that card even more, we know that one’s the four.” “Ohhhh. Well I can try to unbend it.” “Nah, you’ll just mess it up even more. Just hand me the four.” Gloomy tried to smoothen out the card as best as she could. “Bro it’s still so noticeable-BRO!!!!” The beatnik unicorn saw Izzy grabbing the leftover stack, folding them in half with all her might, her forehooves pressing onto them. “What are you doing?!” Izzy grabbed a hammer out of nowhere, slamming them onto the folded stack of cards. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!” “Ohhhh…” Seeing this, Alphabittle quickly headed inside the backroom of the teahouse.   “Well if I bend all the cards we won’t know which one the four is,” Izzy explained  “NO IZZY!!! Stop it!... STOP IT!!!” But the purple unicorn didn’t listen. She continued pressing the folded cards onto the table as hard as she could. “Bro. You might as well cut the cards. AAAAAAAHHH!!! WAIT I WAS JUST KIDDING!!!!” Just like the hammer, Izzy had brought out scissors out of nowhere to cut the cards with. She even cut up Gloomy’s deck. “I WAS KIDDING!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!?!” “Do you have any five’s?” Izzy asked, continuing the game as if nothing ever happened. “Yeah!!” Gloomy picked up the tiny pieces of shredded up cards. “I have like ten of them!” Izzy let out a playful, evil-like laugh. “You’re gonna go down.” “Yeah?! Well you have down!” “Huh?” Gloomy let out a sigh. “Sorry Izzy. I didn’t mean to be mean. It’s just, I don’t even know why you did that, and now I have a mess to clean.” “Oh, well I can buy you another deck of cards. I have ten bits.” Izzy took out ten gold coins from… wherever. “Yooo. Those are some pretty crisp coins ya got there. Now we can go out to a store somewhere.” But before she knew it, Izzy took out a lighter, setting all the coins in flames. “BRO!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!” The coins were all burnt up into a pile of ash, leaving a black stain on the table. “Why Izzy? Why would you do that? Do you have ten more bits in the back?” Izzy looked at her cards, or at least the ones remaining, looking for a ten. “Go fish.” Gloomy just looked at Izzy in disappointment. “Bro. Just leave.” “Do you have a king?” “LEAVE!!!” “B-” “NOOOOO!!!” Izzy, shocked but a little sad, did as she was told. “Okay.” The purple unicorn got up off her seat. She looked back at Gloomy and headed towards the entrance which was also the exit. Gloomy noticed that Izzy stopped at a shelf full of trophies, the shelf being not too far from the exit. “What’s this?” Izzy asked. “Alphabittle’s trophy shelf? I thought you already knew about it.” “No, not that. That.” Izzy pointed her forehoof to a trophy she had never seen before on the shelf. “That’s Alphabittle’s newest trophy from winning a dance competition.” Izzy looked at Gloomy, then back at the trophy. “Come Izzy. Don’t do it. Please.” Alphabittle then came out of the backroom. “What’s happening? And what happened to the cards? And why is there some sort of burnt substance on the table?” “It’s a long story. It started with a card being bent by Izzy. She insisted on bending the others so that way one of them doesn’t stand out. And then things started going downhill, here on out.” “Really now? Well then, Izzy I’m gonna have to talk with you about this incid-BRO!!!!”
