This just sort of popped into my head while I was writing Out Cold. I wrote it and never really gave it much thought after that, but I was trying to get inspired to write more chapters of Out Cold, and I decided to fine-tune and upload it.

I hope you enjoy.

Sincerely,

-Funny.

P.S.- Please tell me I wasn't the only person who found this funny.

P.P.S.- Apologies to my British viewers.

P.P.P.S.- Do I even have British viewers?

P.P.P.P.S.- Apparently, I do!


"B-but sir…"

The armored imperial knight whirled around to face the humble, incredibly nervous grocer.

"What is it?" He all but shouted at the man, who shrank back like a cat to a dog.

"Y-you haven't paid yet!" the grocer managed to squeak out, clearly terrified out of his mind.

The knight sneered and grabbed him by the scruff of his neck, causing the man break out into a fresh sweat. The imperial knight growled slightly at the man, who he considered beneath him in every way imaginable.

He allowed himself a sinister grin before deciding to intimidate the man even further.

He took in a deep breath, and then shouted at him, making sure spit flew in his face as he did so.

"WHAT!? HAVEN'T PAID!?"

Now, that was what he heard.

What everybody else heard was:

"WHOOOOOOT!? HAVN'T PAYUUUD!?"

Immediately, the conversation in the market stopped as everyone turned to look at the instigator. The knight smirked, knowing that he had everyone, not just this simple peddler, under his thumb now.

That is, until somebody started to chuckle.

Then a group of moogles started to giggle.

Spreading like a wildfire, soon, everybody at the market was laughing out loud at the knight, with the moogles mimicking him in those odd, squeaky voices, the laughter began to grow and spread.

"Whoooooot!? Havm't Payyyyud!"

"AHAHAHA! Oh man, this is…! AHAHA!"

"Can't… hehe… breathe!"

"My lungs!"

The man to the guard's left slammed the visor over the guard's face and led him out of the bazaar, the haunting laugh of moogles following the two imperial knights out.

Needless to say, some people were demoted after the incident.


There you go. Not much to say down here, really.

Read and Review, please.

Sincerely,

Funny.
