Electuroo the Griffon – Missyplaced First

As the sun sets as the rays of light skim through the mountainous landscape I sat on the new edge of the Abysmal Abyss left to my thoughts of the day and how the new life of mine going to be now. After the successful relaunch of Gilda's griffon scones to her own dismay and with that I pretty much rewrote events here in Griffonstone.

Who knows what the future would bring or even Griffon Brush Off be like now...

I put my talon hand up to my head feeling the slight pain on touching the part that was struck by rock from that damn bomb Missy planted in the device. “That some sunset.” I said to myself lowing my talon hand back to the ground watching the colours of the sky shift.

“It is.”

Before I could turn around I got a talon hand to the back of my head. “Ow!” I rubbed the back of my head as Gilda now sat next to me. “What the bloody hell was that for?”

Gilda left eye that I only could see turn to me before turning back to gaze at the final seconds of sunlight dipping below the mountains. “I name many reasons for that you dweeb.”

I stopped rubbing my head and saw the last parts of the sun rays disappear with the moon starting to rise soon afterwards just to the right, watching it rise was really something. “Name one at least...”

“You! You feather brain!” She now turn her head slightly to have both eyes on mine as I turn my head. “Since I saved your sorry tail everything been thrown upside down! You even got the griffon Gallus to help us!” She clicked her thumb and index talon finger. “Just like that! You just talked to him and played on agreeing to him and with that I had my best day ever of selling scones! I never sold out of them! SOLD OUT!” She grabbed me by my feather and skin of my shoulder joints be and shook me back and forwards.

“III thhhhouuggghhtt yoooooouuuu beeee happpppy.” I trying to say as she continued to shaking me.

She lets go and I lose my balance to land on my side with a grunt. “Gah! You crazy griffon! Your making me go nuts and it only been a day! A DAY!”

I turn around lying on my chest and stomach my hind legs out to the side and forelegs in front of my front. “If you think I am trying to con ya just say it.”

She slap her forehead. “That the thing you idiot! I don't! And I don't get it!”

“Welcome to my world.” I said lying my head down against the tops of the talon hands. “I pretty much surprised you flipped around from telling me to leave to-”

She growls. “I know you stupid griffon!” She grabbed my hind leg and pulled with me yelping in surprise as she dragged me a few feet away.

I got free and twist around to rub my paw. “What is it with you hitting me and pulling me about?”

Gilda growled slightly. “Trying to get you to respond like a normal griffon would! I don't like this kind griffon crap your pulling showing here!”

“Sorry for me just being me, I rather be able to help if possible.”

She sighed. “I don't want you back in my home but yet my gut twists and I feel bad! You helped me out too much for me to even do it! And-” She pauses staring at my paw still being rubbed be me with my talon hands.

I watched her point with a index talon claw at it and seem to count by mouthing it. “Erm... What with that look?”

Gilda suddenly grabbed my leg causing me to fall on my back and press her free talon hand against each paw toe and pad, I twitched and laughing. “Sto-stop th haha that haha tickles! Mercy! Hahaha Mercy!” I couldn't taking it as I punch the ground either side of my body against the ground laughing uncontrollable till she stopped and let go.

I breathed in and out. “Your evil Gilda. Hehe...” I rubbed my eyes from the tears that had formed. I sat up.

Gilda sat down staring at me. “What the heck are you?”

“What do you mean?” I breathed a few more times.

Gilda still staring. “You have four toes on your paws.”

“Yeah? Why?” I asked.

“Griffons only have three...”

I blinked. “Erm what?”

Gilda shift her weight to the right to show her hind leg and paw. “Count...”

I did and saw only three toes. “You have three toes, why does it matter I have fo-” She moved up to me grabbing my beak open looking inside it. “Wha a doong?”

She let go and I moved my jaw of my beak up and down shifting the lower part left and right. Gilda pull out my right wing touching my feathers casing me to flinch from the sensitive touch and finally took my talon hand with force looking over it before letting go. “Other than being a bit bigger and having four toes on your paws your griffon...”

I grumbled slightly. “I could of told you that..”

“And yet you still didn't hit me. Why?”

“I don't hit girls unless I am pushed too far. And so far all you've done is just been rather confusing and hard to figure it out.” I responded crossing my forelegs tapping my talon index finger against my other arm. “Is this what I am going to put up with being your tenant?”

“Nope, today just crazy and like it just to end.” Gilda yawned. “Baking powder, he had baking powder in his bag and cause of that I now had my best day ever! Even his damn plan worked!” She turn around and walks away continue to rant and rave about it. “-I even said 'Fresh beginnings!' What am I doing!?”

I blinked a few times watching her leave. “What the blueberries just happened?”

“I say your making a big impact poppit.” I squawked in surprise turning around to find Missy standing before me. “Only a day and your such a hoot.”

I growled slightly flaring my wings open. “Keep your bloody distance Missy! I don't want anymore of your bloody damn help! You almost blow me up last night!”

She walked around me as I turn to keep facing her directly. “Maybe I put too much boom in it.”

“Yeah right...” I said wearily watching her and notice a flicker. “Your not here...”

Missy stops and holding the umbrella in front of her she slyly smiled at me in the most creepiest way possible. “I see those beautiful griffon eyes doing you good.” She points to my bag. “Look inside.”

I rolled my eyes putting my talon hand into it. “To the left, a bit forwards. Right there.” She described to me the location of what she'd spoke about.

I found what felt like a piece of paper, taking it out I took a look at the small piece of paper. “Missy will visit Electuroo the Griffon on the progress he is making at... First full day and than yearly at this moment of time when reading this letter. There is negotiate...” I stared at it.

“See, you just didn't know where to look.”

“Or the fact I had a concussion cause of your tablet exploding.” I point to the hole.

She turn around. “Well coloured me impressed.”

I rolled my eyes Oh course she would.

“Now where was I.” She sat down on the rock. “Oh yes! Now I remember. How was your first day?”

I sat down. “Weird for the best sense of things and what I know of is now all up in the air since I gave that baking powder to Gilda about five to six years before she should have had it.”

“Oooo temporal shift! That a good classic in paradoxes! As I said this a whole different universe to the core one. This simply play by your actions as well all the boring stuff happening. Just with twist and turns.” She got up dancing around with a few spins with glee. “And you did have a choice too, give or not to give and the answer to that is...”

“I gave.”

“Bravo! Now your getting it!” Missy points her umbrella at me. “Now the interesting part is... What happens next. Don't you think? My sweet griffon.” She sat down crossing her leg over the other with the umbrella leaning on the side of the rock and her hands on her lap. “Now tell me how was your name.”

“Well Gilda found me and stopped the bleeding as well gave me some zebra shaman medication for the concussion. After a bit of-” I tell everything that happened to me today and how I got into working for Gilda, as well staying as a tenant to Gallus helping get word around for Gilda's new improved griffon scones.

Missy didn't look too impressed by my daily tale. “That really dull, I was expecting something with a bit more flare.” She got up picking up the umbrella opening it up spinning it around. “Maybe in a years time I will have more juicy stuff to hear!”

She raise a finger. “One suggestion, fly.”

“Fly?”

“You have wings bird brain.” She laughed. “Till next year Electuroo! Ta ta for now!” She turn and walk over the edge and I stared as she walked on air till faded away.

I picked up my bag putting it over my head and right foreleg, opening up my black wings giving them a few flaps I felt myself become airborne as my paws and talons left the ground. “Whoa that was... Easy...” I made myself fly forwards and pulling back I slowed to a hover. “Okay how the bloody blazes am I able to do this as if I done this all my life!?”

Than it hit me...

“You seriously think I got to all this trouble with you humans not to make it as comfortable as possibly can? I am not going to make you all powerful but gave the leveled basics. Like what you are cute griffon.” She scratched under my right ear.

“Oh right I remember... She gave me the basics of being a griffon from the metamorphose from my human shell...” I whispered to myself shivering as I said that feeling my skin under the fur and feathers get goosebumps. “Bree... That just wrong... So wrong... I never get use to that feeling! Just remembering it is just so so so so freaky!”

I flew down into the city with a few short flaps I land on my paws followed up by the talons touching the hay. “Right... Now which way to Gilda's house?” I asked myself looking around as night had fallen upon the city and lights was going out from house to house making it a bit more harder to tell where to go. “How long was I talking to Missy for?” I muttered to myself.

I saw a griffon walking by. “Hey there! Do you know where Gilda lives?” I called out walking up to him.

The black and grey griffon turn to me and with a grunt he replied. “I do but it will cost you four bits.”

I stared at him blankly. “Seriously? Your going to try and rip me off for basic point and say?”

He held his talon hand out. “It late and I am going home, you want the info than pay up the five bits”

“You said four a second ago.” I glared at him

“Your calling me a lair?”

“Yes and a cheat, you most likely give me a wrong direction too. So be Mr Grumpy Greedy pants that most likely will live out his life mean, ungrateful and wasting his life over a few coins.” I turn and walked away from him, I saw in the corner of my right he looked startled at what I said, he left in the middle of this hay, twigs and whatever else covered ground this streets have covered. To me look like one huge nest.

He than shouted out. “To your right and keep walking a few houses over and turn a left! That the only freebe your getting!”

I turn my head with a graceful nod and he rolled his eyes with a few flaps of his wings he was gone. “Well I guess my big mouth good for something at least.” I said to myself and turn to the right and followed a few house down turning to the left to see Gilda's house also to find Gallus walking my way with a box of scones held by his left talon hand. “Hey Gallus, up to helping us again tomorrow?”

Gallus jump up on his paws and gave a thumbs up. “Sure! It better than searching through trash for anything useful! I be around in the morning!” He land back on his right talon hand and walk off on three of his four limbs.

I turn to walk towards Gilda's house to stop in mid step. “Wait a second.” I turn to see he was gone. “Did he just say what I think he just say?”

“What!? Why you no good for nothing dweeb!” The griffon walks away with his beak pointing up to the sky. “Gah! No griff going to buy any!”

I saw Gallus again this time he was looking through the trash cans near by. “I got a idea.”

I slap myself on the forehead forgetting what I saw earlier and screeched in pain realising what I just did. “Ouch! Smart move you bloody idiot...” I called myself rubbing my head now get a bit of a headache once again with some pain to boot.

Walking up to the door I gave it a few knocks before opening it slightly. “Gilda?”

“Yep dweeb it me.” I open the door and walked in placing my bag down by the book rack. “What took ya feather brain?”

I closed the door. “You sorta left me in the dark, I had no idea where your home was in Griffonstone from the abyss. I had to ask a random griffon for directions.” I explained taking a seat at the tree trunk table as Gilda pour me a drink and put a plate of what look like cooked fish and potatoes and some salad to the side.

“How much did it cost ya?”

“Nothing.” I said with a smirk as I took a knife and folk.

Gilda gave me a dumbfounded look. “How the heck did you pull that off?”

“I played the guilt card after he tried to swindle me.” I answered.

Gilda laughed. “That must have been some guilt card you pulled!”

“He fell into his own lies and I used I against him.” I cut into the fish with the knife and folk and pick up some potato with it. As I ate it I was surprised. “This is good.” I said after swallowing.

“It nothing. It the cheapest thing to get that doesn't take much effort to make.” Gilda drunk a bit of her drink and went to eat hers.

We continued to eat without much of a word between us in the room, but I did notice a few times as we did eat. One Gilda had working electricity, two she had a sink with running water and three a gas lit stow!

I decided to be a good guest as my mum always taught me to respect anothers home by taking the empty plates, cuttery and cups placing them in the bowl as I turn the tap on to wash them. Gilda just stared and watched me do this, I think she was confused and not even sure what to say about my act of kindness.

Finishing the cleaning I put them on the drying rack. “Let me guess.” I turn to Gilda. “Your mother taught you to respect other's homes?”

“Pretty much.” I replied. “Hope I didn't offend you in any way.”

“Offend me? Dweeb you did what I hate doing.”

“Cleaning up messes?”

“Yep!” Gilda walked over to the door and to the left of it was a stack of scone mould tins, picking them up she came back over to me placing them down. “While you clean these up I am going to take a shower.” Gilda turn and head into the bathroom closing the door behind her with the sound of a lock engaging.

Soon I heard the shower running I rubbed the uninjured part of my head. “How the name of sanity does these griffons have running electricity, gas and fresh water while the homes are pretty much falling to pieces? Is there some sort of weird cartoon logic behind this?” Trying to figure it out would most likely lead to me having a mental melt down.

Before I get my head bitten off by Gilda I decided to just clean up the trays.

I remember seeing stuff like this through out the show and only in some instance for plot convenience. Other then that there wasn't anything attach to them. Like that town with the rainbow arch, the pony turn a light switch on so... I am basically going in circles in my mind... Perfect... 24 hours in and I am part of the plot convenience...

I finished up cleaning up the mould trays and drying them off. “All done.” My ears twitch and I turn my head to the door, the shower had been turned off and movement within.

The door unlocks and opens with Gilda semi dripping wet drying herself with a towel. “Not bad Electuroo.”

I quickly cover my view of her with my wing. “Great to know!”

“What are you doing?”

“Well your drying yourself so I-”

“So you covering your eyes cause I am a bit wet? Your such a dweeb.”

I lower my wing to get a damp towel hitting me in the face, pulling it off my face I sighed. “It a modest thing I was raised with.”

Gilda rolled her eyes. “Having a bath or shower is a private thing you idiot. Not drying yourself off. It not exactly big and this is my house. So get use to it!” She open her wings with a short flap and jump. I watch her grab hold of the edge of the opening above in the ceiling climbing into it. Peaking out of it she look down at me. “Have either and after turn the lights off. I am hitting the sack so you disturb me-”

“I try not to.”

“Fine, there bedding set up.” I looked around. “Up here feather brain!” I looked up. “There plenty of room up here. Most homes are for groups of griffons sharing the sleeping space. It normal so don't freak out!”

She disappeared out of view. “Don't freak out she says...” I mutter to myself hanging up the towel and entering the bathroom to see a griffon loo looked slightly long and narrow. I was about to question it and felt the need to re-leave myself. I realised than where my equipment was. “Long enough for the male and narrow enough to sit on. Right... This gonna be very weird...” I whispered to myself closing the door.

After going to the toilet for the first time as a griffon I felt better and flushing the loo I turn to the shower noticing a clean towel on the side. “I wonder where she washes the towels.” I talked to myself feeling the material of the towel against my talon fingers and thumb. “What a weird texture. Guess it for feathers and fur.”

After I had a shower and managed to figure out how to wash myself I dried and put the towel next to Gilda's used towel to dry off. I flip the switches turning off all the lights but as it became dark I noticed I could still see. Blinking a few times I took a good look around, the shapes I could make out what they were but not fully. “Amazing, either I can't see completely in the dark I can still make out objects.” I whispered to myself looking to the opening in the roof.

With a flap and reach I grabbed hold and pulled myself up into it. I noticed Gilda was asleep with what I saw a small desk beside the bedding of hay, sticks and leaves all mixed together with a bed sheet over her and resting her head on a pillow.

I saw a few photos of her and Rainbow Dash pinned to the wall at the speedster camp. Hmm. She look so adorable in those photos. No speaking out my thoughts as I crept over to the bedding Gilda left for me on the other side with a small desk like hers beside the pillow and bed sheets. Going to bed without a plushy to hold onto.

Yawning slightly I lay down on the bedding pulling the bed sheet over me resting my head against the pillow. “It pretty comfortable.” I whispered to myself and noticed the loft window, through it the night sky. “Now that a view...” I smiled looking upon it with amazement, turning my head to Gilda I whispered to her. “Goodnight and thank you...”

“Tell any griffon I am being soft-”

“It be the end of me.”

“Now your understanding me.” She chuckled lightly and shift slightly soon fast asleep.

I stared at the stars one last time before letting sleep take hold. One thought on my mind was...

Hope my family are okay... I may never see them again but I hope they be able to move on... I am having too... If this be my final farewell to you guys... I love you and always be in your hearts... My final farewell to my friends and family...
