Filled Thor's Poptart Box with Ants

Author's Note: Yes, of course I had recovered the ants from my earlier pranks. Why would I waste them? That would be ridiculous!

"There's nothing cozier than a warm fire when the weather outside is frightful," said Wanda.

It was just a few of us tonight. Most of the guys had gone out for drinks (I wasn't invited because Thor said that I wasn't allowed to drink- but the others made him stay and watch me, which was some consolation), so the women were having some kind of girl thing. They'd invited Sharon Carter, Maria Hill, and Jane Foster over, and were making popcorn over the fire.

"My mom's hanging out with her boyfriend. If only I had a home to go to for Christmas," said Jane angstily.

"You may someday," said Thor awkwardly.

"Be glad," said Maria, sipping hot chocolate. "Sometimes men can get really annoying. Enjoy being free while you are."

"Yeah, imagine having to live with Tony 24/7," said Pepper. She ripped a bag of chestnuts open.

"I once dated a guy," said Sharon. "Pepper spray comes in really handy."

"Another friend of mine recommends a taser," said Jane.

"I don't like this conversation," said Thor.

Neither did I. There is nothing more boring that listening to inane women talk about dates. So I went to find mischief to do.

"Ouch!" I yelped, smacking at my arm. I pulled up my sleeve and found an ant who had been busy biting me. "I'd forgotten about you," I said to him. "Did you and your friends get out?"

I went into my room, and sure enough, ants were spilling out of the jar I kept them in.

"This won't do," I said. "It's a waste of good ants!"

So I dumped them in Thor's poptarts.

"He'll never know who did it," I snickered, tiptoeing away.

There was a sudden and unexpected POW! behind me. I whirled around me.

"Hi," said the man who had magically appeared. "I'm Ant-Man."

I think I stood with my mouth agape for a minute straight. At least, long enough for Thor and the others to get to the kitchen. Apparently they had hear the poptart box burst.

"WHO?" asked Thor.

"Ant-Man," said the dude. "Loki locked me in a jar for days. I'm starving! Can I eat these poptarts?"

"Loki?" said Thor, turning to me with a very angry look on his face.

"I didn't know that Ant-Man was with his little ant buddies!" I said. Honestly, I found Ant-Man to be super cool. I had read all the comics. To think that I had owned him for days! How cool is that?

"But you put ants in my poptarts!" said Thor, his voice slowly getting louder. "HOW DARE YOU? NO CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FOR YOU!"

Publisher's Note: Sorry, guys, I'll have to answer your reviews today. Loki has the sniffles and I have them too, but since I am the less wimpy of the two of us, he's made me do all the work. Plus, he's really mad that his reviewers are vanishing. }:{

rbavenger- Loki agrees. He says he deserves three AT LEAST. XD
RussianAssassin- I love the Pop figures! Sadly, I don't have any yet. Not sure which one to buy first! I'm beginning to really like your cat. :P
Elessar's Daughter- My sister is stressing over finals, too. She is currently really mad at one of her professors. lol Loki tried to tell Thor about your congratulations without giving away that he's writing down all the happenings over Christmas, but he sort of failed. Thor ended up yelling, "WHAT IS THIS YOU ARE WRITING ABOUT US AND POSTING ONLINE? MAN OF IRON, HELP ME STOP THIS FOUL TRICKSTER!" He's really upset. Hopefully he'll forget about the whole thing soon.

Thanks for reviewing, guys! Hopefully Loki will be better tomorrow. Sorry for the short chapter!
