Movie Night

I thought I'd attempt a humor Eragon fic. Hopefully you will enjoy it. Also, if you haven't read a couple of the other Eragon fics I've wrote or am writing, feel free to check them out.

Ch 1: Horror

"Do you think this will be enough popcorn?" Murtagh asked his brother, Eragon, with two big bowls of popcorn in his hands.

"It should be." The younger Rider answered and at that precise moment, the doorbell rang. "That must be our other guests. I'll get it. How's my hair? How do I look?" he went back to asking Murtagh.

The dark haired Rider raised an eye brow, "Fine Eragon, now just get the door."

"Are you sure?"

His brother sighed before answering. "Yes, Eragon." Then he ran toward the door and tripped over his own feet.

He jumped up quickly, "I'm alright," and continued toward the door.

Murtagh watched him with his mouth slightly ajar. After he was out of sight he shook his head. Did he trip? Saphira asked, looking in through one window.

Yes, he did.

Figures, Thorns' voice came in, pulling his head through the door. Now that there was a three-way conversation going, I give it a couple hours at the most.

Well I'll give him two days to crack. Murtagh replied.

It's interesting to hear you two placing bets on Eragon's love life. Saphira said dully. His brother and his brothers' dragon.

Murtagh and Thorn gasped as if hurt. "You cut me deep Saphira. Real deep."

We were only placing our concerns, Thorn stopped when Eragon came in with their guests. Arya, Roran and Galbatorix walked in after him.

"Oh, goody," Arya grabbed a bowl of popcorn from Murtagh's hand, "my favorite. Corn puffs."

"It's called popcorn." Roran answered surprised by her actions.

"Oh, popcorn, my bad." Arya placed some in her mouth and walked through the other doorway, leaving the others there. Murtagh turned his head and gave a small chuckle. This was unusual behavior for the elf and he barely knew her. "Hey in there, are we gonna watch a movie or what? Hello…?"

"Nice girl, Eragon," Roran smirked.

"Yeah, Eragon," Murtagh placed the last bowl on the counter next to him and hugged Roran in a friendly embrace, his arm hooked around his neck. "Nice choice." At that moment they both started laughing.

"Hello? What movie are we going to watch?" there was a loud crash. "Oops! I can pay for that!"

Not the home theater system! Thorn started pulling his head out of the door then stopped, I'm stuck.

Murtagh looked at the others and shrugged, signaling that the only way to get to watch a movie was to get the red dragon out. About two or three pushes released him. Then there was an, "Owww." Everyone rushed out to see what happened. The princess was sitting on the floor, holding her head giving a giant purple teddy bear with a star on its chest the death glare the popcorn was all over the floor.

Galbatorix squeaked, "Mr. Snuggles!" and the king rushed toward it, grabbing it and held it protectively. "Mine! My Mr. Snuggles! Mine! Back off!"

Wow, Saphira said surprised. This is the side we never seen of Galbatorix before. I must admit it, it's weird.

"I must agree Saphira." Roran scratched his head. "So… what movie are we going to watch?"

"Action."

"Fantasy."

Comedy.

"Romance."

Horror.

"Oh, I'm down with that," Arya jumped up, excited about the idea.

"Great, we'll start with horror then watch another genre." Murtagh suggested.

Let's get started then, Thorn said.

After about thirty minutes of arguing what horror movie they were going to watch. Murtagh just placed the movie they had finally chosen in the DVD player and it had started. Something hit him on the back. "Hey get down! I can't see with you in the way!" Galbatorix threw some more popcorn. Murtagh's face twisted when he walked to the couch where everyone was sitting. Thorn and Saphira were sitting behind those on the couch and the roof was a little to low for them to extend their neck to its full height. Someone's shinny head blinded the two dragons.

My eyes! Saphira shook her head, trying to get her eyes to adjust again.

It burns, it burns! The red dragon blinked, then looked at his friend. Both looked at the bald head and growled quietly then smirked at each other. A twinkle shinning in their eyes. After?

After, Saphira agreed as she and Thorn went back to watching the movie, swaying their heads back and forth, trying to get a clear view of the large plasma screen.

About a quarter of the way through the movie, there were different actions to the way this movie was going. Murtagh sat at the end of the sofa, his fist resting against the side of his face. It was obvious he was bored with the expression he wore. Eragon was crying because his favorite character had died after she was stalked by some crazy alien that cut off her head. Roran was trying his best to move away from him after his cousin made him feel uneasy. He nearly jumped over Arya to get away. The elf was watching intently, unafraid and seeming to be completely aware of every thing that was going to happen and eating the fifth bag of popcorn they had made since it started thirty minutes ago. Galbatorix on the other hand, was freaked out. "Get out of the way!" Everyone looked at him awkwardly. "He's right behind you!" he was talking to the other girl in the movie. "AHHH!" the king grabbed Mr. Snuggles and held onto it tightly. Just then the large purple teddy bears head was replaced with stuffing. "M- M- Mr. Snuggles?" King Galbatorix cried, his eyes tearing up. He and the others looked behind them to see Saphira spit out the stuffing, some stayed on her face.

"You think this is funny?" The king questioned the blue dragon. "You just killed Mr. Snuggles! He's been with me for years." Galbatorix looked back at his child's toy. "And his heads missing." His facial features changed to shock.

BANG!!

"AAAHHHHH," he screamed, throwing Mr. Snuggles in the air and grabbed onto Murtagh.

"Hey…! Let go of me!" The Rider demanded.

The much, much, much older Rider realized what he was doing and let go. "What's the matter with you, Murtagh? Don't touch me."

"Me!" he shot back.

"Shhhh," Arya growled, stuffing more popcorn in her mouth. "You gotta see this part. This guy, he's gonna die after she walks in. He's gonna get cut in hal-"

"Arya!" Eragon demanded. The princess looked at him.

"Popcorn?" she offered.

"Please stop telling us what's gonna happen."

"Fine, geez. Why is everyone so touchy?" she reached for another handful then looked down when she realized the bowl was empty. "Would you be a dear and go get me some more popcorn?" Arya nearly hit Roran in the face. He jerked back just in time to avoid it, his eyes shifted toward her.

"You go get it," he turned his attention back toward the TV screen. "I already got the last five bowls for you; it's someone else's turn. Get Eragon to do it."

"Please Roran?" Arya started toying with his hair and he was starting to freak out again. Eragon and Murtagh were both wondering what she was up to. The youngest Rider was starting to get upset about the fact that Roran was flirting with the girl he had been trying to court without any success. Murtagh was doing his best to hide the smirk on his face. He was guessing how his younger brother was taking this rather surprising twist.

Roran pulled away, he already had Katrina and Arya was freaking him out. "Eragon… please get your girlfriend away from me."

"Popcorn, please."

"… Are you on drugs?" Roran asked.

"HOLY SNAP!" Galbatorix jumped up and fell behind the couch. He poked his head over the back of the couch. "Is it safe?"

"Not for you," Murtagh watched Eragon as he seemed to get all jealous of Roran. Arya actually forgot about him and went back to the movie. The Rider gave his cousin the death glare.

Finally, the movie had ended. Sadly, everyone died. Lights turned on and Murtagh was leaning back on the couch and sleeping, snoring lightly. He must have found it very boring, only the elf entertainment amused him. Eragon was trying to conceal his teary eyes. Arya was upset that it was over and started pouting as if she were a two year old. Galbatorix was peaking over a pillow, nearly scared out of his wits. Roran took a deep breath since the movie was over and elbowed his cousin lightly and pointed to the dark haired Rider. Eragon seemed to get what his cousin was suggesting.

There was a tickling sensation. Roran and Eragon were holding back their laughter as best as they could. "Just a little more," Eragon replied.

"I'm on it," Roran let a small chuckle escape, though he tried to hold it back.

"Keep going." Murtagh smacked his face and opened his eyes, looking at his hand to see some white foam on them and heard two people laughing. His face was blotched with shaving cream.

"You!" he swung one of his hands and stopped when he thought of something. "Thorn?" he asked. "Where are you?" He looked behind him to see Saphira and Thorn sound asleep and snuggled together.

"Aww," the three said as if mothers witnessing something an innocent child would do.

"It's a conspiracy man," Galbatorix jumped up and stood with his hands on his hips. "They are out to get us." The three rolled their eyes. The old king had finally gone mad.

"I think it's time to send Galbatorix to a senior citizens center." Murtagh whispered to the other boys. "His mind has finally lost it." Roran and Eragon nodded.

"So… what movie's next?" Arya walked in with another three bags of popcorn. Murtagh and Roran looked at each other then back to Eragon.

"See ya later Eragon, we gotta go." Both jumped up and walked away.

"I'll pick up Thorn in the morning," Eragon's older brother said. "Don't stay up to late."

"You can't leave me!" Eragon was desperate. "Not with the crazy king, he'll scalp me!"

"Improvise," Roran answered as he and the other Rider bailed.

I'll get you for this! He pouted then sighed. "So what do you want to watch now?" he asked the elf and oldest man he had ever known. "Arya? Bald- I, I mean Galbatorix?"

Snoring.

The Riders' eyes narrowed when he had discovered that both were sound asleep. Arya slept with three bags of popped corn in her arms and spilt everywhere. She was drooling. Eragon shuddered then looked at the man that must have used botox, he was curled up in a ball sucking on his thumb and hugging his purple headless teddy tightly. So tight that stuffing was coming out. This will forever haunt my dreams until the day I die! He looked around to see the living room was covered with popcorn, Mr. Snuggles' stuffing and shaving cream. I am not picking all this up! Well, I better break out the camera in case if I need some blackmail.

Click. Click.

Eragon smiled, Classic. I am gonna be so dead for this.

Tiger- (clasps hands in front of me) Murtagh was sleeping like a little angel.

Murtagh- (backs way slowly) So much for non-fangirl!

Tiger- I'm not listening. So how did my first ever humor-shot go? At least my first in this section? I may do one with Galbatorix going to the Senior Citizen Center. Also don't forget that I have a couple other stories you may check out. I would appreciate it. Please Review and let me know how you thought this was. Thanks.
