As I always say, my apologize for the possible mistakes. I'm improving my English.

This idea came from the obsession that practically everybody has today by day with Flappy Bird, surely you know what that game is. And the idea came in English (my native language is Spanish), so I couldn't resist myself.

This is the beginning of madness...

Hope you like it!

I. Once Upon a Time...

... When all the breaks were from read, listen to music or sleep... Damn bloody day when Pepper Potts refused those options.

She was on the sofa, with her purse over her legs and folders beside her. The Tower seemed empty. She took her mobile phone and watched the hour. Tony shouldn't be at the floor at that time.

"JARVIS, where's Tony?" she asked, worrying of Tony's omnipresence.

"He's in the Lab with Dr. Banner. Do you want me to call him?"

"Oh God, no!" she exclaimed, with too much enthusiasm perhaps. She cleared her throat and reformulated the phrase: "No. It's fine. Thanks, JARVIS".

"At your service, Miss Potts"

She couldn't stop to smile when silence came back. She took her mobile phone again, she slipped her finger on the soft screen and her eyes shined when the logo of that video game appeared.

Flappy Bird.

There's only one purpose: keep the bird alive. But is not simple accomplish to it.

Two tubes create a small way out for the bird and it jumps worst than a kangaroo. Just a simple touch of the green tube and the stupid bird falls down and die like if it were shot. The phrase "Game Over" appears lots of times per minute but you always press the "start" button again.

And Pepper Potts wasn't the exception.

The sound of every tube left back was making Pepper get into the game 100%. Once she started, there wasn't way out...

... Until...

"Well, this is a surprise".

Pepper froze and the bird died as it always does. She looked at her boyfriend who was close to explode of laugh.

"Evening" she whispered.

That was all.

Tony laughed for an entire minute without stop. That brought back Pepper's voice.

"What's so funny?"

"You. All you" Tony said when he could breathe again. "You say I'm an obsessive-compulsive. But now, oh, look at you! At least I do great stuff in 'my moments' ".

Pepper dropped her mobile phone and her purse on the sofa and she rose.

"Not everybody can build a super armour when are bored. That's why some bastards create those games to "not be bored" ". She said

"Bah! Surely that thing isn't going to distract me".

Pepper was in silence for a few seconds. The she smiled.

"Really?" she said slowly. "Try it".

"I aint gonna lose my time with it".

"Try it" she said again.

"Oh, c'mon honey..."

"Just. Try. It" she interrupted him.

Tony was really confused at the moment. But then he smiled. "A challenge? Hell yeah!" he thought.

"What's its name?"

"Flappy Bird" she said while was smiling. "Remember that name".

"It's like Angry Birds? Because you know what I think about that game..."

"There's nothing like it. Not like Angry Birds, Temple Run or Sugar Crush". "IT'S WORST!" she thought.

Tony took his mobile phone, found it and uploaded it.

"It looks like the 80's. So cute" he said with a sarcastic voice and smile.

"Have fun!" said Pepper and left the room, laughing archly.

Tony watched the "innocent" bird and pressed the "start" button.

"Let's play. Why not?" Thought he...


The next chapter will be funnier, I promise. I'm not that good writing about humour, but I'll do my best!

Tip: Steve.

I hope you liked it and again, sorry about the mistakes.

See you soon!
