But You Better Watch Out
Author's Note: Though I say it who shouldn't, I have a wonderful singing voice. And don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Not even Thor. He has no room to talk. He sings in his sleep and it sounds terrible.
"It's your duty as a resident, Loki," said Steve.
We were bundling up to go Christmas carolling, and, needless to say, I did not want to be doing it in the least.
"I hate mortals; why would I want to sing to them?" I said scornfully, as Tasha buttoned my coat.
"That sounds like a good reason to sing to them," snorted Tony.
"Rude," I said. But I let them push me out the door.
"My feet hurt," I said after we had walked a block.
"No complaining," said Pepper. "We're doing this thing whether you want to or not."
When we came to the first little house on the square, there was a large wreath on the door and candles in all the windows.
"Get ready," said Steve excitedly, and he knocked on the door.
"Hark the herald, angels sing!" we bellowed. But after five minutes of no one coming to the door, we gave up.
"I guess they weren't home," said Steve.
"Or they didn't like that a lot of superheroes were stalking them," I said. And I was ignored.
The next house wasn't decorated at all. "I don't know if we should sing here," said Pepper.
"They'll feel left out," said Steve. "Come on!"
"Jingle bells, jingle bells," we bellowed, but when the door opened, a very grinchy figure looked out and yelled,
"SHUT UP!"
So we left hurriedly.
The next house had a NO TRESSPASSING sign out, so we skipped it.
"Are you sure this is the best way to spend our time?" I asked.
"YES," said Tony, and knocked on the next door.
"Angels we have heard on high!" we shrieked.
"Awww, isn't it the sweetest thing, grampa?" asked an old lady of an old man, opening the door and smiling toothlessly at us. "Have some hot chocolate, my dears!"
Maybe Christmas carolling isn't so bad after all.
It went on for and hour. And another hour. And every time I suggested we go back, someone would say, "We haven't sung this song yet!"
Finally I was completely sick of it.
I had a plan.
An evil plan.
An amazingly evil plan.
"Finally," gasped Natasha, throwing herself down on the sofa and tossing her scarf across the room.
"Aaah, more hot chocolate," said Tony.
"I want some," said Clint.
"Isn't this just so nice?" said Pepper. "All of us sitting here together, enjoying Christmas cocoa..."
"Ehehehe..." I chuckled.
"It's so nice and cozy," Tasha agreed.
"Eheheheehehehehe," I chortled.
"Just like the feasts in Asgard," Thor agreed.
"EHEHEHEHEH!" I cackled. "LOKI'D! I PUT THE LAST OF THOSE ANTS IN THE COCOA MIX!"
"LOKIIIIIIIIII"
"NOOOO PRESSSEEENNTSSSSS!"
Author's Note:
I need to be quick. Time is getting shorter and shorter nearer Christmas; I hope y'all don't mind me rushing a bit!
FIRST of all, thank you Nienna14 for following the story, and Paula Galtarocha for favourite-ing! You are awesome!
Maniac at Midnight- P/N: Loki refuses to answer you. He's really upset. :( But it's okay, I find it refreshing to know someone who is not a total fangirl of him. Some of his fangirls are a little bit creepy... *ducks*
Guest- A/N: Obi-Wan is soooo bossss! And Darth Maul is even cooler. He is sooooo cooooool! I can't take the coolness in that franchise aaskdghaslkdjgla;hslg;asldf (I am learning the art of "Fangirling" from Lily)
Elessar's Daughter- Yes, I promise no spoilers! Even after I see it, I will refrain from spoiling, I promise. Spoiling is evil. Even evill-er than me. I probably won't be able to see it until after Christmas now, anyhow. :(
LadyOfAnfalas- That's okay. You are pardoned :) Thanks for reviewing! Obviously I have been overly busy, too, neglecting this story a little bit. O.o But I'm back, hopefully to post every day from now on til Christmas!
Guest- Thank you! And "Quite Possibly" is the best answer to that question ever. ^-^ Thank you for reviewing- *gives cheesy thumbs up* You are awesome!
See you tomorrow, hopefully! I AM FINALLY DONE WITH CHRISTMAS SHOPPING CELEBRATE WITH ME
