The Midnight Dance 6

Sleeping Curse

Discord: You want me to do WHAT 

The royals and griffons were now at the Badlands, which was creepier than Discord remembered, he thought that this was on account of the night sky growing ever darker and the shadow continuing to grow slowly 

Grampa Gruff: Hunt for Big Bongo, ye see, the way we griffons did it, we would lure a Tatzlwurm out into the open and then catch it with a net, you, however, are the Master of Chaos, so you'll only need this plunger 

He then tossed a plunger to Discord, the draconequus was confused by this, but he was absolutely certain of one thing, he shook his head 

Discord: No, thank you, I've had my fill of Tatzlwurms, and I don't do plumbing jobs  

This irked Gilda, but then she had an idea 

Gilda: Hey, Discord, what are you, a chicken 

This ticked Discord off  

Discord: Chicken 

He flew up to Gilda's face  

Discord: Chicken, how dare you call the Lord of Chaos a chicken, you're the chicken, well, all right, you're only part chicken, but still, I'll show you who's chicken 

He turned to Grampa Gruff  

Discord: I'll do it 

Grampa Gruff smiled: Great 

He tied a rope around Discord's waist and wings 

Grampa Gruff: When ye pull on this rope, we'll pull you up  

Discord looked up at the rod holding the rope at the edge of the floating platform they were on, he stroked his goatee and squinted his eyes   

Discord whispering: Why does that look suspiciously familiar 

After jumping off the platform and onto the ground, Discord began walking with plunger in hand while the platform slowly followed behind him, they searched for a whole hour before Discord spoke 

Discord: I'm starving, couldn't I take a quick snack break 

Before the others could answer, he spoke 

Discord: Really, thank you 

He then conjured up a sandwich and floated while he ate, Discord was about to take another bite when the ground rumbled 

Screwball: I think the ground's hungry, too, Dad 

Snow Gem then saw a cloud of dust and cried as she pointed to the spot 

Snow Gem: No, look, over there 

The others looked in that direction and saw the same thing Snowy did 

Grampa Gruff: Ooh, we must be getting close to Big Bongo, only he could make a dust cloud like that, a little more, Your Highness 

He then chuckled 

Grampa Gruff: A little more 

Discord groaned as he made his sandwich vanish and resumed walking, Gruff turned to Spike 

Grampa Gruff: Ye know, we griffons really appreciate this 

He then moaned while he straightened out his back 

Grampa Gruff: Ooh, I'm getting too old for this sort of thing 

Spike: You know Discord, he'll get things done lickety-split 

Grampa Gruff: Oh 

He then chuckled 

Grampa Gruff: I'm sure, I'm sure, your pal there will really attract Big Bongo
