This story was for fun.

Eragon was pacing around nervously. Tonight he had to vote on the most beautiful person in the Varden. Was this their idea of fun? Why did he have to be the judge? Why couldn't Murtagh do it?

Little one, they want you outside. I wish you luck.

Are you sucking up Saphira?

No. I'm just…hoping you make the right choice.

I'm sure.

Eragon nervously pulled back the flap and walked outside. He heard applause and knew that the cheering was for him. Slowly, the rider walked out onto the stage and took his seat in the judge's podium.

"Would the first contestant come out?" A voice said from behind him.

Eragon turned around and saw Murtagh approaching.

"What are you doing here?" Eragon asked.

"I thought you could use some help."

"No really."

"I pulled a prank on Thorn last night and he is searching for me right now."

"I see."

Murtagh used magic to make a chair identical to Eragon's. He sat down and watched as a beautiful lady walked onto the stage.

"She's a looker." Murtagh whispered in Eragon's ear.

After a few minutes, Arya walked on stage. Eragon was impressed but thought that she looked better when she didn't have all the makeup on. Nasuada came on next and Murtagh nearly fell out of his seat.

"Eragon, have you ever seen anyone so beautiful?"

"Yes."

"Who?"

"That is a secret."

Several more women walked by and Eragon still wasn't impressed. Then, she came. Saphira slowly walked out onto the stage and Eragon's eyes grew very large. Her scales were shinning like he had never seen them before. Slowly, as to enhance the effect, Saphira fixed her Sapphire blue eyes on him. Eragon leaned back in his seat and wasn't able to take his eyes off her.

"Murtagh, Saphira wins."

"What? You can't be serious! There are still hundreds of women left!"

Eragon quickly raised his hand and used magic to seal Murtagh's mouth shut.

"Ladies and Gentlemen! I have chosen the winner!"

The crowd became silent and mutters came from the women who didn't get to go yet.

"The winner is… Saphira!"

The crowd gasped and a huge smile came across Saphira's face. She slowly walked towards him and Eragon was unable to take his eyes off her.

Saphira, you are the most beautiful thing my eyes have ever seen.

Is that including Arya?

Yes.

Then I am happy.

You know what the prize is.

What?

The winner gets to spend the night with me…alone.

Then I have an idea what to do. What is wrong with Murtagh?

Nothing.

Thorn landed with a thud and Murtagh turned to run but was blocked by Thorn's tail. Suddenly, the women that weren't selected began yelling and charged at Eragon and Murtagh.

Let's go! Eragon cried.

Saphira nipped at Eragon affectionately and lifted him onto her back. She flapped her wings and took off into the evening sky.

Thorn! Let me on your back!

No. I don't feel like it. This is your punishment for turning me pink!

Thorn! Murtagh said something else but was tackled by the crowd of women. After a few minutes, he wasn't even visible through the mass of women.

Eragon, do you mind if I have a say in what we do tonight?

I don't mind.

Well then, I have picked out a place for us tonight.

How did you know I was going to choose you?

I had a feeling.

You really are beautiful Saphira. Not just after you polished your scales.

I love you too little one.
