Opposites

How they met

Shrignold - original
Shrig/Shrigs - opposite

Shrignold was on his way to find the trio's house. He found it, of course. He memorized the location when he first got to it. But then he heard screaming on the left. He turned to find a butterfly angrily screaming at a happy computer.

"I SWEAR TO GOD, COLIN, YOU ARTIFICIAL STUPIDITY I WILL RIP OUT THOSE WIRES STRAIGHT OUT AND DROWN THEM IN WATER!!! GET ME OUT OF HERE! "

The other Colin had laughed and shook the birdcage.

"No can do, Shrigs! You're tiny, fun sized, and adorable when angry!!! "

The computer man hugged the birds cage and Shrig mumbled to himself. Shrignold had seen enough and decided to go inside. There, Sketch was waiting.

"Paige! How are you? " He asked.

The female turned around angrily raised an eyebrow.

"Fine... I'm trying to paint. " She said annoyed.

It was odd to see her so angry, he thought Tony was behind it. He tried to see what she was painting and to his surprise, it was all green!

"Get out of the way, stupid mosquito!You're so fncking off today, what drugs did you take this time?"

Tony came in with a happy look.

"Oh, hello Shrigs! It is time for lunch, why not come join us? "

Okay, this was weird. They were opposites of the ones he knew. Paige was painting in green, Tony actually didn't mind his company, Colin was a happy little cuddle bug, he hated everything. Shrignold didn't even want to imagine what the other teachers acted like.

"I think I'm at the wrong house... " He tried to answer him.

"Nonsense! You belong perfectly here, also, you're much nicer than usual. Is there anything that got you in a good mood, today? "

Shrignold only shook his head when Colin and Shrig came in. Tony looked a bit confused, but realized.

"Oh, you're not OUR Shrigs! But if you'd like to stay, that's fine too. Colin, do you kind releasing Shrigs from the bird cage? "

Colin pouted in disappointment but obliged. Shrig had instantly flown out and went to the other butterfly. He studied him and his eyes widened in surprise, yet still holding a mean demeanor.

"Oh... You're my opposite, huh? You must teach about love and kindness and all that sappy sh!t. Shrignold Fly. These idiots call me Shrig or Shrigs for short. You can do it too, I guess. "

"I'm uh, Shrignold Presst. How are... You? "

"If you're planning to make a friend, too bad, buddy. In this household all you're ever going to hear is arguing. These morons can't even get on one agreement. "

"Bloody bug! Who are you calling a moron? You are the one who gets trapped inside all those bird cages. " Paige interrupted.

"Not my fault you uncreative dipsh!t, The metal box always traps me in them and I get no way out! Stop fncking around and go in a drawer, PAIGEY! "

"Oh yeah? Who are you to tell me what to do?!? My øss can come up with better insults than your small brain! "

"At least I have a brain, Paigey! Did you forget I'm not an object? Fnck you!"

Tony seemed a bit overwhelmed. Tears started forming in his eyes as he kept a small smile. Shrignold went up to him and patted his shoulder.

"They do this all the time. Shrigs is right, we don't get on any agreement. I'm sorry you had to see this. Perhaps it's the best time you leave before one of them gets hurt... " Tony said quietly.

Shrignold nodded and went out the door, going to the correct house where it was peaceful. Paige was painting without green, Colin hated being touched and constantly touched by the lamp, Tony still doesn't like him, it wasn't as chaotic as it was in the other house. He went to Paige and told her of his experience.

"Paige, you're never going to believe this. The house to the right of us has teachers that look like us, but they have opposite personalities! "

Paige looked at him and tilted her head.

"What do you mean by opposite personalities? Is mine still creative? "

"What? Yes, I mean, no, it's just... She was painting in green! And then the Tony there didn't mind my company, Colin loved cuddling up to people, I don't know about the rest because I didn't see them yet, nor did I see their student... Ssss? They argue a lot too, mainly between that Sketch and myself over there. "

Doi's eyes widened at the thought.

"There are more of you? "

"Well, I do know they look exactly like us, but don't act like us. My opposite is really rude, Paige's opposite is highly uncreative, Tony's opposite doesn't mind my presence at all... Then again, they are the opposite of our own personalities. "

Doi seemed excited.

"Well can you get them for a playdate? I really want a new friend! "

Shrignold seemed a little tense. He tried looking for an answer.

"I still haven't seen their student yet."
