Leftover Alphabet Soup
A/N: Well, no worries everyone - E is here! And (gasp) not late! Well, it sort of is. But it's as not-late as it's possible to be!
Disclaimer: Wouldn't it be easier to just put one huge disclaimer on the whole site so we didn't have to bother with these?
E is for: Everlasting Eggs
By Tassel630
"Three... Two... One... Ready or not, here I come!" I shouted. I opened my eyes and looked around carefully. There didn't seem to be any obvious hiding places in the kitchen besides the cupboards, through which I quickly rifled without really expecting to find anyone. My flock was more creative than that. I thought.
Nudge I found relatively easily because she was giggling, curled up under her bed. "What's so funny?" I asked her. She shook her head, her eyes shining, and stuffed her fist into her mouth to keep from laughing. She glanced above me for a split second, and I followed her gaze, looking up.
Angel was on the ceiling.
At my expression, Nudge gave up trying to stifle her laughter and fell to the floor, tears streaming down her cheeks. Angel smiled angelically at me. No pun intended.
"Sweetie... how did you get up there?" I asked. Or rather, how was she staying up there? Her wings were folded neatly into her back.
"It was easy," she said, grinning down at me. She was only a foot or two above me, in the corner beside the door. "I just push my hands against this wall and my feet against the other wall, and I don't fall." She dropped down and landed gracefully on her feet. "You weren't supposed to give me away," she added reproachfully to Nudge, still on the floor.
The Gasman was also easy to find, since he was standing right out in the open.
"Uh, Gasser, you do understand the point of hide-and-seek, don't you?"
He ignored my question. "Look what I found!" he said, holding out a handful of yellow mush. I tried to look only mildly revolted.
"Um... what is it?"
"Eggs!" he told me enthusiastically. "Scrambled eggs!" I made them with Jeb ages ago! They're, like, some sort of camping food or something, and the box said that they were everlasting! So I hid some of them for later, but then I couldn't find them!"
Jeb had died over a year ago. So these eggs were over a year old. Lovely.
"Gazzy, I'm not entirely sure..."
Too late. They had already disappeared.
It was an action we all came to regret. Supposedly-everlasting eggs plus Gasman equals definitely-everlasting gas.
A/N: Now, wasn't this much more productive than actually paying attention in math class would've been? Next chapter will be Ninja C with F: Fang Finds Fire Fun. Mwahahahaha.
