From the person who brought you 'Topsy Turvey!' and 'Dilandau passes a kidney stone!' comes a look at the fair that changed Folken's life…
Folken at the Fair!
Folken walked through the Vione in a rather dour mood. 'Things are just plain boring around here' he thought with a sigh. It had been quite sometime since he had received any orders from Dornkirk (Not that he really missed hearing from the old weirdo) but at least if he had heard from Dornkirk he would have had something to do. Folken looked in as he passed by the Dragon Slayers' training room. Dilandau was happily yelling at his Dragon Slayers who cringed at the sound of his voice. 'He must be making up for lost time' Folken thought for the silver haired boy had just recovered from a troubling medical problem. Folken watched as the albino slapped one of the Dragon Slayers with something akin to envy, 'At least he is not bored out of his mind' Folken thought but then he quickly suppressed the feeling 'It is, however, an easy feat to keep the weak minded entertained' he realized thanking his stars that he never would be as thick headed as Dilandau could be.
Folken continued his walk and found himself to be near the Vione's mail room (Yes in my story the Vione has a mail room). 'I suppose I should check my mail while I am here' Folken thought as he started to rummage through the bags of letters. He looked at the bag labeled Dilandau and decided it wouldn't hurt to see what kind of mail the pyro was receiving. He picked up a letter that sat on top that was labeled 'To Dilly-Sama', opened it, and began to read. He was surprised to find that it was a love letter, disgusted he dropped it and looked back in the bag for another letter. After finding that most of the letters were love letters from the same person he decided to give up 'there are a lot of sick people in the world' he thought with a shudder unable to imagine who in their right mind could like a freak like Dilandau.
Folken went back over to his bag and started to look through it. A brightly colored flyer caught his eye, it had a picture of a Ferris Wheel on it and proclaimed that a fair was to be held that very day. Folken had never been to a fair, but it looked interesting and Folken decided that it would be a fun way to relieve him of his boredom. As he walked back to his room a voice called out to him "Hey Folken! What are you doing?" Folken shuddered when he heard the voice of Dilandau. The last person he wanted to know about the fair was that boy he thought as he tried to hide the flyer. "What do you have there?" Dilandau asked curiously. "Oh this? Nothing that concerns you" Folken answered in a 'go away' voice.
Dilandau looked a little perturbed but then continued to ruin Folkens plan for a fun day by saying "Well I just wanted to tell you that Chesta heard that a fair is going on today and we are planning on going" It took all that Folken had to keep from groaning "Oh" he said finally "I will join you then" he finished as he walked off "You should be more appreciative that I tell you these things!" Dilandau called after him in an angry voice. Folken sighed as he entered his room, His plans for an enjoyable afternoon at the fair had just blown out the window.
Well that is it for the first chapter, things will get better when they arrive at the fair (I promise). If you actually want to know what happens at the fair, please send me some reviews. Also don't take me the wrong way, I love Dilly-Sama, I just like to tease him in my fics.
