Quest for the Music
Chapter 2: Back to School
Previous Chapter Next ChapterLemon could only crawl as she saw the Crystal Prep building in front of her. Every single muscle in her body just wanted to ache.
"Kid, it's just a few feet." Lemon looked back at the bus driver driving the bus which brought her here.
"I know," she replied, " but they're the feet of giants!" She panted, and laid her head on the ground.
The bus driver only facepalmed in response, and drove away.
Lemon rested there for a few seconds, but then remembered her mission. She stood back up, and immediately went to the left side of the grounds. Her heart beat excitedly knowing it would find the phones!
However, Lemon was hit like a ton of bricks with surprise: The phones were no where to be seen!
Worried, she thought for a moment. She then had an idea. Maybe someone put it in the lost and found!
She went to the front door of the school, repeatedly banged on it for a few seconds, and waited for someone to open the door.
A moment later, an old, gray faced janitor with yellow eyes and a snaggletooth poked his face out. "What is it?" he asked.
"Need to look through your lost and found! Lost an item! REALLY NEED IT!" Lemon shouted, faster than a speeding A-chord.
The janitor merely frowned at her. "No students in the school after hours. Sorry."
"But I really-"
"No entry! THAT'S FINAL!" he shouted back.
Lemon scoffed, then crossed her arms. "Well, what're ya gonna do to stop me from getting in?!" she retorted back.
She got her answer as she was thrown back to the curb, landing on her butt once again. The janitor then raspberried at her, smiled, and then closed the door.
Lemon put a hand on her cheek, and thought to herself with a determined expression. Then I guess this means war.
The janitor heard a knock at the front door sometime later.
"Oh, who does Discord the janitor need to deal with this time?" he whined, putting down his cleaning supplies and walking to the door.
He opened the door. Just outside it was a rather familiar-looking short man, with a large, black mustache, and a dark-blue suit similar to his one-piece janitor outfit. He had on a Shadowbolts cap backwards.
"Hello, good sir!" the man said, "I'm here to deliver a package for Mr. Discord!"
The delivery man then pulled out a small box, holding it out to the surprised janitor.
"A package? For good old Discord the lowly janitor?" Discord smiled, and took the box. "I'm..I'm touched." A tear formed in his eye. "I, the janitor of CHS, am finally getting noticed by my peers."
The delivery man smiled and handed Discord a hanky as he cried with joy.
"This occasion is actually sooo special, in fact-" Discord then smiled a more devious smile, pointing the top of the box towards the delivery man, who put on a surprised face-"i think you should experience it, too!"
He then opened the box, and immediately, a springed punching glove shot out, knocking Lemon's delivery disguise off and sending her straight back to the curb.
"Nice try, miss. But you'll have to get up pretty early to outsmart good old Discord! I used to be quite the prankster myself!" He then laughed as he walked back into the school, leaving Lemon contemplating some more.
Lemon sneered at her newest plan. She tiptoed closer to the entrance, her bush costume losing leaves along the way.
She then poked her head out. The window next to the entrance was open, and there sat the janitor, reading a newspaper and drinking some Starbucks coffee.
She then readied her dartgun. She had gotten it for a camping trip some time ago, in case of a wild animal attack, which never happened. Now, she was really happy she kept it around.
She put a dart into the blowhole of the gun, and aimed until the janitor was in her sights. Then, giggling, she pulled the trigger.
However, as the dart streaked towards him, Discord ducked, smiling, making the dart ricochet off the wall, and out the window, and, unfortunately, into Lemon Zest's neck.
Uh oh. Lemon speedily tensed up, her tongue sticking out and all feeling dissipating from her body. She then crashed back to the ground.
Well, looks like it's back to the drawing board.
As soon as I get my limbs back, that is.
Lemon readied her tall pole-vaulting pole into position. If I can't get in the regular way, I guess i'll have to get a bit over the top!
She began running from the other side of the street, gaining speed as she went, until finally, she jabbed the pole, and went flying straight to the roof of the school. She hoorahed as she fell to the surface of the roof.
However, she found herself in the center of a trampoline, with Discord smiling and waving at her, before she was sent back into the air, and back to the other side, where her face and body collided with the nearby house.
She skidded down the side of the house, and landed in a rose bush, jumping out in pain as the thorns poked at her butt.
Boy, he sure knows how to bounce back.
Discord continued reading his newspaper. "Hmm, 'Students Get Credit For Helping Animals in Neighborhood-Canterlot student Fluttershy and her friend Tree Hugger commended for excellent service in the natural community as she builds bird houses and squirrel huts for the local forest dwellers.'" He sat back in his seat. "Seems like a nice girl, that Fluttershy. Though that Tree Hugger seems kind of fishy to me..."
His thoughts were interrupted hearing a nearby voice.
"Hellooooooooo."
The voice sounded, how could Discord put it.......seductive.
Discord looked out the window, and immediately gasped.
A well-shaped woman stood out a few feet from the window, her dress showing off her nice shoulders and smooth arms, and its tightness showing her astonishing, thin shape. Her dark skin somehow shone with seductiveness, and her green eyes, make-up, and hair simply were dazzling.
"Hey there, big boy." She walked over to Discord, and leaned on the window. "You work here at this school, I assume?"
Discord could only stutter, partly cause her hand was cold, and partly for other reasons. He somehow managed to nod.
"Well, then,"-she smiled, then gave Discord a kiss on the cheek, the lightest of kisses, making Discord shudder from head to toe-"maybe you could help me, then. I don't know if you know this, being the smart one you probably are, but I am sort of not the brightest, or goodiest, girl out there." She grabbed his chin, and looked into his eyes. "Could you teach me how to be good, teacherman?"
"U-uh, w-well, uh, y-you see, I'm, heh, just a janitor here. M-m-miss." Discord straightened out his suit, checking for any sweat marks that may have developed.
"Oh, but I am a bad girl, good sir." She pouted as she said this, making Discord shake again. Then, she smiled, and fluttered her eyes. "Maybe you, kind janitor, can clean up my act?"
"Ohhh, I could." Discord drooled at the thought. He did like the bad girls. Plus, he wouldn't mind finally having a girlfriend for once.
But then, a sudden thought appeared to Discord's mind, which made him gasp in realization. His face then contorted in anger.
He jumped out the window, making the woman gasp in surprise. "I'm not falling for this, you little brat!" With that, Discord dropkicked the black-skinned seductress into the nearby bush.
He dusted off his shoulders, thinking that was that, but then heard a slight, "uuuhhhhhhhh..."
He turned around to see Lemon Zest, in a rather poorly-fashioned seductress kind of outfit, ready to be used to trick Discord.
Discord double-took at the sudden realization, then heard a menacing growl from behind.
The woman growled, her dress and make-up smeared and ruined by Discord's mistake. "I try to flirt with you, and you kick me into a bush?!?" She pulled up her dress laces, clenching her fists in undying anger.
All Discord could do was manage to say a small, "uh oh," before being mauled by the furied female.
Lemon could only watch as the chaos unfolded. Maybe i'll search somewhere else, she thought, as she slowly backed away.
As she backed away, her eyes caught sight of a seagull nearby, pecking at the ground. Lemon then saw that the phones were wrapped around the gull's neck!
"Hey! Get back here!"
The seagull flew away in a panic as Lemon chased it away across the street, and straight north, the direction of the beach.
