*I don't own Jane and the Dragon or its characters
This fic was inspired while eating a slice of apple pie. Please enjoy!
Walking along, I was going to talk to Rake about a joke about potatoes when the most delicate, delicious, mouth-watering inducing aroma. Following it's enticing smell, it leads me to the kitchen window. Looking through the bars, I spot a steaming apple pie.
I need you!
Tiptoeing into the kitchen, I hold the bells of my hat to muffle the sound. I take small, light steps, being careful not to give myself away. With each step, my heart beats in anticipation. With each step I'm closer to my goal.
I can see my name all over it. Oh, and how or calls my name in its warm apple filled crust "Jester, please eat me!"
Only inches away from the table, it's only an arm's length away.
For the love of pie, I charge!
Deciding to make a dive for it, my bum is instantly met with an iron skillet "Ouch!"
Rubbing my backside, Pepper asked "And what do you think you're doing?"
"It's just that pie looked so tasty, and I'm so hungry, and you're so kind. So what do you say?"
Looking satisfied, Pepper scolded "You'll have to wait like everyone else for mealtime"
"I'm the food taster Pepper! It's only with a self-sacrificing heart that I daily put my life on the line, so that our great ruler king Caradoc can continue to rule for years to come. So here I am, nothing but a lowly Jester come to taste for poison"
Cutting a slice, she handed me the plate of pie. Teasingly, she said "Just for you, I added extra poison"
"Good, it just so happens I like my poison steaming"
The End
