It had been four days since Loki had been imprisoned for his war crimes on Earth. Thor still saw good in him and constantly tried to get him in a better mood. What a dumb blonde Labrador.
"Loki, c'mon let's watch a movie!" The God of Thunder prodded at Loki's side.
"Don't tell me it's one of those puny mortals' ones."
Thor hesitated, doggishly looking confused, "It's kinda hard to tell."
Loki, seeing his half brother would not give up, he sighed and turned towards the TV screen as Thor slid the disk in.
Thor sat back with a grin when the opening scene revealed two scientists squabbling over some readings, and one extremely dumb one incessant to turn on the radio.
Loki showed no interest in the movie until a large aura appeared in the sky. "That looks just like the bifrost auras doesn't it?" He murmured. Thor just grinned wider.
The scientists were now driving their van as fast as they could towards the aura "Stupid mortals", and a large explosion revealed the shape of a man crashing against the window. The scientists ran out of the van, with the short one leaning down over… THOR?
"You didn't tell me you were in a movie!" Loki yelled.
"Watch and see, brother," came the reply
"How many times do I have to tell you, I aint yo bro!" Loki yell-whispered. His attention jerked back to the screen when a voiceover of ODIN came on.
"Odin's in here too? And he's telling the tale he always told us as kids. I better be in here somewhere."
"There we are" Thor mused as the two gods as kids appeared on the screen.
Loki was growing more and more perplexed, but then was rattled into fighting over the popcorn with Thor. "Give. Me. It" He growled as Thor grabbed the bowl with his huge arms. "Ha-ha!" Loki laughed in triumph as he teleported away with the bowl. The next few minutes were spent chasing each other around the room, and only settling down when- "Then I Odin Allfather, proclaim you…" Odin looked around, "Frost Giants."
"He he I did that" Loki chuckled. Thor looked at him as if he had been picking his nose. Loki shrugged, "WHAT? I had to do SOMETHING. I couldn't just let ANOTHER blonde rule. I mean, when has someone WHO IS NOT BLONDE EVER RULED? Seriously, there should be some regulations."
"Sometimes you really confuse me brother. Everyone loves blonde God-hair."
Loki sneered, "We'll see 'bout that."
"Don't tell me you're planning to usurp the throne AGAIN?" Thor looked horrified. Who could blame him? Three movies with him starring, and none of them got him on the throne. Geez, man.
"No, just the fan girls." Loki mused.
The screen turned to show the Asgardians battling Jotuns. Fandral got impaled with an ice blade (embarrassing), Thor was propelling through the frost giants, Sif was stabbing them, Hogen was smashing them, and Loki was flinging his little magic-dagger-snowball-things and teleporting.
Loki straightened up, "Okay, how was this filmed with none of us noticing? What sort of pathetic mortal trickery is this?" Thor shrugged, confused.
"Pop tart?" he smiled, holding up a plate. Loki shrugged and munched on one sullenly as Thor wolfed down the rest. Sif brought in lots of pillows and blankets and sat down to watch. "Oh yeah," she said, "I think I've seen this one."
After Thor got banished and much fighting over popcorn ensued, Fandral brought in hot chocolate for everyone. Everyone's attention turned to the screen again when the scientists got into the car to look for the recently-missing Thor, and then promptly ran into him.
"I like her." Loki grinned. Thor punched him in the back. "What?" Loki retired to eating his pop tart.
"This drink I like it."
"I know it's great right?"
Thor stood up, hot chocolate in hand to deliver his next line: "ANOTHAA!" Thor promptly smashed the cup, hot chocolate and all onto the floor. Everyone jumped back.
"Only you Thor, only you," Fandral sighed, at the same time ironically throwing his own cup over his shoulder. Weird Asgardians.
Next Loki took everyone on a frantic hide-and-seek chase, in which he promptly disappeared with someone else's popcorn and teleported to some random place where he would eat as much of it as he could before they found him.
He finally suspended everyone's popcorn in midair so he could just reach up and get it, and everyone, (including Volstagg, who had just walked in with a HUGE bowl of popcorn) seemed to like that arrangement.
Between plucking popcorn kernels out of the air and trying to avoid getting hot chocolate stolen, the Asgardians managed to get hooked back into the movie.
"My first command cannot be to undo the Allfather's last. We're on the brink of war with Joutenheim. Our people need a sense of continuity, in order to feel safe in these difficult times."
At this point, everyone, especially Sif, started brutally punching Loki, who of course just teleported out of the way.
"YOU DORK! LIAR! WHY ARE YOU SO PERSUASIVE!?"
"'Cause I am," Loki calmly replied, taking a handful of popcorn out of the air.
The screen shifted to show a pop tart commercial starring the nyan cat.
Everyone turned to look at Loki.
"Movies don't have commercials, Loki…" Fandral said, trying to ignore the constant nyaning in his ears.
"Oh c'mon, you can't blame a guy for trying." Loki reluctantly removed the illusion from the screen.
As Loki quietly played with the now 3d illusion in his hand, the rest of the warriors turned back to the screen.
