Sweetie Belle Saves The World (With Princess Luna, Maud, and Discord)
Chapter 4: Rubber Ducks, Cake, Socks, and a Glass of Water
Previous ChapterAs Tirek shuffled along the alley, he felt someone tap him on the shoulder. As he pulled his hood down to consume the magic of the poor sap who bothered him, he saw someone he once used, recently too. But knowing him, he probably forgot, so Tirek thought he could use him again.
"Hello, Discord," crooned Tirek.
Discord, not seeming to notice, pulled a microphone out of thin air and tapped it. "Check, check. Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3."
"What are you doing?" asked Tirek.
"Putting on a show, of course," said Discord, his voice magnified by invisible speakers, grinning madly all the while. Then, much to Tirek's surprise, and chagrin, Discord began to sing.
"A little glass of water, please. A fresh-pressed hankie if I sneeze. Some tea with honey from the bees, whenever you can brew it!"
"What."
"And while a get a little rest, a teeny, tiny, small request: some codfish oil for my chest, poured from a crystal cruet!"
"A crystal cruet?" asked Tirek. But while Discord was singing, he failed to notice the two mismatched socks placed over the stubs of his horns on his head, both labelled: Pinkie Pie's Magic-Cancelling Socks. Nor did he notice the rubber ducks strewn on the ground around his hooves, nor the cake suspended above his head by a fishing rod currently being ponyed by Maud while Princess Luna and Sweetie Belle magically placed the ducks down around him.
"When do I drop the cake?" asked Maud monotonously.
"Wait for the signal..." said Luna.
"What's the signal?" asked Sweetie Belle.
Luna shrugged. "He said we'd know it when we see it."
"SO.... WHO'S READY FOR MY BIG REPRISE!?!?! I'd like that glass of water please, some magic spell to cure disease, a firm "gesundhoof" when I sneeze, a fresh bouquet of roses. Some lozenges will soon apease my wheezing when I start to sneeze, a wig to keep me from the breeze, some blankets for my toes-es. Take tweezers out of my valise and then massage my knobby knees. A bowl of peas, some extra cheese, a cuddle with a Pekingese. A sining harp that's named Louise, a goat on skis, a new trapeze, and more, and more, and more, and more of theeeeeeeeeese! And just because I oughta, make sure I'm drinking in the right amount of fluids, day and night, I wish I may, I wish I might have just one, little thing, oh, would somebody please, finally bring me that tiny glass of wateeeeeeee-"
"NOW!" cried Luna. Maud let the cake drop. As the cake splatted on Tirek's head, he stumbled around, slipping and slding on the rubber ducks and water that appeared from Discord, the anti-magic socks remained fast atop his head, preventing him from abosrbing any of the magic present.
"-eeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!" Discord finished his song, and immediately began lauging at the sight of Tirek covered in cake, slipping on rubber ducks and water, all with two mis-matched atop his head.
Tirek, however, didn't find the situation funny in the slightest. In fact, he was absolutely livid.
"DISCORD!!!!" he screamed.
Discord remained unfazed, angering Tirek even more. "Yes?" he asked.
"WHAT IS ALL THIS?!? IS THIS WHAT YOU CALL A JOKE? REVENGE? IS THAT WHY?"
"I don't know what you're talking about," replied Discord indignantly. "I'm just doing my part to protect the well-being of Equestria and all its citizens."
Tirek growled, "This isn't the last you've heard of me, Discord. I will have my revenge and my magic."
"Oh, heavens, I would hope not. After that performance by me and my friends, I can't wait until our next encounter!"
"Your... what? Friends? Not those stupid six ponies again. I can't stand them."
Discord's grin only widenend. "Nope! These friends!"
*SNAP!*
And with a snap of his fingers, Sweetie Belle, Luna and Maud appeared, the first two laughing at Tirek while holding rubber ducks in their magic, and the latter with a fishing rod in her hooves, and a small, almost unnoticeable smile.
"How DARE you mock me!" yelled Tirek.
Luna and Sweetie Belle looked at Tirek, and tried to keep themselves from laughing.
They failed most spectacularly.
Tirek began growling in anger.
Sweetie Belle looked over at Princess Luna, tears streaming down her face, "It's so hard to take him seriously with cake running down his face! And I keep remembering him tripping over the rubber ducks we layed out!"
Luna nodded in agreement, chuckling. "Yes, it was most amusing. I didn't know Discord could sing so well, though."
Discord bowed. 'Yes, it is a hidden talent of mine," he said. "Though, I must say, Maud here drop the cake at the perfect moment. Tirek was about to leave!" He busted out laughing again.
Tirek was watching all of this, and was fuming. "I'm leaving. This is making me sick."
As he stomped off, Sweetie Belle called out, "We hope you enjoyed your stay! Come back soon!"
As Tirek roared in anger, Sweetie's comment had generated another round of laughter.
"How are we going to find him again?" asked Luna between laughs.
Discord chuckled, "The cake had a tracing device on it, which latched onto his head."
Sweetie Belle after calming down, suddenly began laughing again.
"Sweetie Belle, while it's still funny, I wouldn't say it's that funny anymore."
Sweetie Belle took a deep breath and tried to calm down, but was still giggling.
"No, I know," she explained. "It's just that *snort* Tirek is still wearing the anti-magic socks on his head!"
As the grouped descended into laughter again, Luna managed to call out, "Back to Canterlot!"
*SNAP!*
