“Chris, you drunken motherfucker!!”

“I’m not drunk yet!” I slammed the door open to see Sparkler standing at my door.

“Chris, I need to know who set up a karaoke machine for Orchid to use. I need to know, so I can rip off their fucking head and feed them to the sharks.” Sparkler fumed at me. Her usual cigarette had been replaced by a cigarillo. Sparkler’s hair was an absolute mess, and she was practically red in the face

“Jesus Sparkler, what the hell happened? You look pretty pissed.” I said stepping out into the main hall, a light thumping could be heard.

“Chris, shutup and listen around you.” sparkler closed my door and we both stayed silent as I listened.

Something was definitely going on. There was a thumping vibration that ran through the bulkhead followed by a voice that could only be described as a chain smoker on a week long whisky binge.

“Uh, Sparkler, what’s going on?” I said breaking the silence that filled the hallway.

Sparklers grabbed my shirt and pulled me close to her. “Some jackoff gave Orchid a karaoke machine and put a shit-ton of death metal songs on it. She. Won’t. Shut. up.”

“Go fix the problem Chris, I need to get some damn sleep at some point today.” She pushed off of me as she started to walk down the hall.

“What’s wrong with music Sparkler?” I asked as I stood in front of the door, arms stretched wide.

“Fuck you Chris, I know you had something to do with the damn singing. Fix. It. Today.” Sparkler continued down the hall, not even stopping to answer my question.

“Great, now I’ve got work to do. First she tells me mandatory holiday, now it’s work.” I opened my rooms door once more and grabbed a pair of slip on sandals and started walking down to orchids room.

The ever present thumping had grown stronger as the voice I heard earlier had increased volume.

“-m atomic weight, with a hardened thrust, deep in the core, a seismic tunneling, a rhythmic pum-”

“What the fuck is Orchid singing? Sounds like that shitty cartoon metal band.” I slide the door open to see orchid swinging her head a circle as her hair followed. A single, large microphone hanging from the ceiling was held in one of her hooves.

Orchid rose her head level with the mic and took a deep breath. “Murdering, knew, nothing, outcast! Choke on gas, kill my sperm!”

“Fate won't lead fast enough, come coagulating blackness, when can I re-decor-”

“Orchid, what in the name of God are you singing!?!” I yelled over the music and Orchids ‘singing’.

Orchid pressed a button on the side of her mic and the music paused. “Oh, hey Dad, it’s called ‘I Ejaculate Fire.’ Thanks again for the karaoke machine!” Orchid smiled as she sat down next to me.

“Right, you’re welcome?” I shrugged “I honestly don’t remember getting it.”

“You got it for me the other night.” Orchid beamed. “You said I was being a good pony and that I deserved a reward, so you asked IT people to come set it up.”

“Oh, yea. I should really stop drinking whisky.” I side stepped Orchid “Are you having fun singing whatever it was you were singing?”

“Yep, the IT guy said he put a bunch of songs on it, but I like the metal songs.” Orchid said turning around, her tail wagging. “IT guy said I was really good at making that weird deepy, scratchy, yell-y kinda voice for metal.”

“I noticed. You should take a break though. Sparkler is trying to sleep and the music is driving her up the wall.”

“Awww, do I have too? I was gonna do Face Fisted next.” Orchid pouted as she stood and walked closer to the mic.

Those damn pouty lips and eyes, she knows my weakness. “Fine, fine. But I get to help. I may not look it but I was quite the metal head in my day to.

“Yes, we’ll do a duet.” Orchid wrapped one of her hooves around me and lifted me up on top of her head.

“Ok, the screen will count us in. ready?” Orchids eyes rolled to look at me.

Giving Orchid the thumbs up signal. “Yea, lets do this!”

The screen counted down and the first line came up with a small indicator pointing to the words. Sparkler can deal with a few more songs. I’m gonna metal the hell out of this song.


Author's Note

Quick note: Songs used are I Ejaculate Fire and Face Fisted by Metalocalypse.
Also, I'm fuckin' slow at writing. Don't expect chapters soon. They show up whenever I finish them.
I've also been stuck on games. Started playing Undertale, Insurgency, and Contagion.

In other news, I'll be working on the next chapter for Red. Plan is to go back and forth from this story and Red. Red should be done soon, gonna try to wrap that one up.

As always, allahu akbar *explodes*
