The Elements of Friendship, Thursday, Period 1

The Danger Shop today was set up to look like a large town square, surrounded by strange looking houses shaped like cupcakes and carousels and giant joker hats. In the center of the time square was a bucket full of apples, next to which sat Pinkie, crouched on her hind legs, holding a trombone. As the door closed behind the last student, she played a classic sad trombone riff. Don't ask how she managed this with hooves. She had skills.

When the last note faded out, a tennis ball sized bug with giant, sparkling green eyes fluttered out of the bucket of apples. It blinked adorably at the students, its eyelids making audible *plink!* noises.

Pinkie tried not to shudder visibly.

"It's cute, isn't it?" she said. "The way it flutters and blinks and it always looks like its smiling. Maybe you think it might make a nice pet. This is your assignment, today. There's a stash of musical instruments behind the joke shop, and a forest down the road. Try not to destroy the town!"

And then she trotted off. Leaving the little bug sitting on top of the bucket of apples, blinking and looking guileless and innocent.

Then it opened its mouth four times wider than its body and ate the entire bucket of apples in a single *howmp!*ing gulp, and spit the empty bucket out with a *ptoo!* And coughed up a little brown hairball -- which unfolded into a second tennis ball sized bug with a tiny smile and giant eyeballs. The two bugs began eyeing anything remotely food-like hungrily.

They weren't so cute the moment you realised they could eat something the size of your head if they felt like it, and Chuck's initial 'aw, cute!' reaction was replaced by gulping and swiftly backing up a few steps.

Ooookay then.

Now what?!

Squall looked like he was ready to go to war, also. Mostly because he usually looked like that anyway.

"Can I kill them?" he asked Professor Pie. Normally, it wouldn't be a question, but he had a feeling the professor would object.

"Uh," said Miley, backing up and almost (but not!) crashing into Chuck. "Please please please tell me you have a plan."

They were still kind of cute, but not so much when they started trying to gnaw through Juliet's Louis Vuitton backpack.

"That's" -- she said, kicking one off -- "a limited edition!"

The parasprite did not appear impressed.

Miley was around. And boggling at the parasprites.

Yeah, there had been bugs in Tennesseh, but there were bugs... and then there were bugs.

She might not be so helpful today, folks.

You would be Juliet's hero for life if you got the parasprites off her bag. She wouldn't even care if you were wearing bad shoes.

"I thought this would be a sweet about clothes and the overwheming power of friendship!" Miley wailed, looking to Juliet for commiseration. "I do not want bugs in my hair! I have enough scalp problems as it is!"

"Do you use Kiehl's?" Juliet asked, glancing away from the bugs to focus on something even more pressing. "They do this killer rosemary-tea tree oil thing for dandruff."

So not the point.

Huh. Miley tilted her head. "Oooh, really? I'll have to check them out. I mostly use Alterna, but that's, like, way hard to find in a drugstore even at home. Not sure if they even have it here."

"I've never tried that --" Juliet started to say, then got distracted. "Is the bug really going to eat the horse right off the carousel?"

Miley looked. "Oh, not the horsey!" she exclaimed. Bad bugs. Bad.

The bugs didn't seem terribly bothered by her dismay, and carried right on with what they were doing.

"We should... probably stay out of it."

"Definitely," Juliet decided. "They already ate a strap off my bag."

Poor Louis V.

"Hey, did you get to talk to Miley Cyrus about my birthday yet?"

[[Eep! Hannah Montana, you mean? SO MANY NAMES. It hurts my brain too, don't worry. :D]]

"Oh! I totally did, actually! And Hannah's so up for it. Apparently she'd, like, a really big fan of you and Jeremy." Which just showed how little Miley knew about the multiverse. But okay. "So even though she doesn't normally do personal appearances, she says she'll make an exception for you guys."

Miley. Honestly. In what universe did that seem like a smart idea?

[Gah, sorry, if I do it again thwap me and I will reping. I'm special & proper names are hard.]

"She's a fan of ours?" Juliet gushed. "Oh thank God. We haven't been in the media much, with being on the island, and I was worried nobody remembered us."
