Chazz shifted on his mound of gold. The coins were quite comfortable but royal hats tended to be pointy. He casually bent the spikes on an elaborate crown over with his talons then shoved it back into the pile of treasure.
He felt the gold complimented his blue scales nicely. Rubies would too, now that he thought of it. Sapphires would be too matchy-matchy.
He shifted again, trying to find a comfortable position to snooze the next decade away when an annoying whinny echoed in the depths of his cave.
"Chazz! Hey, Chazz!"
Chazz covered his sensitive ears with his paws. "GO AWAY!" he roared in reply. "I DON'T LIKE YOU, Jaden!"
"I brought you a tonne of shiny stuff for your hoard!" A small, brown unicorn trotted into the cave looking perky and stuffed full of rainbows and sunshine farts. Just looking at him gave Chazz a case of indigestion. "I know how much you like shiny stuff!"
"Hmph." Chazz looked down at Jaden from atop his pile of bling and considered his options. If he ate Jaden his tummy would hurt for years. If he charbroiled him he'd never get the smell of burnt sugar out of his lair. If he let the humpy little runt of a horned donkey chatter away at him for ten minutes he might get some shiny out of it. "Very well. Give me the treasure."
"I couldn't bring it with me! I had to leave it outside!" Jaden jumped and pranced and play-thrust with his horn in excitement. "C'moooooon, Chazz, don't you want a tonne of shiny?"
"Fine." Chazz rolled his eyes. "Show me where you've put all this alleged shiny stuff."
Jaden led Chazz through the cave and out into the brilliant sunshine of a perfect summer day. Chazz growled and shut his eyes until he grew accustomed to the light. When he opened his eyes Jaden was already halfway across the field chasing a group of emerald butterflies.
"HEY!" Chazz yelled, "Where the hell is my treasure?"
"I said I had a tonne of shiny for you," Jaden yelled back. "And here it is! SUN-SHINY! Isn't it a beautiful day?"
Chazz stared at the frolicking unicorn for a full five minutes while his reptilian brain tried to decide how best to exact revenge. During that time the warm sunshine raised his body temperature and his mood mellowed out, somewhat. It really was a nice day and really, what harm would a nap in the sunshine do?
