Hey guys! I'm back! I'm like soo tired so I'm going to wrap this note up for you guys so you an read! :D I talk about pie in here, and let me make one thing clear, I swear to you, I AM NOT CHEATING ON MY MUFFINS! They just... cherry pie. enough said, now read, review and enjoy the chapter! and don't worry, if you guys were wondering where Nori was, you'll see soon.
"…You guys…" Erza began as they all sat down. I sat next to Erza with a smirk because I wasn't the one being reprimanded. "Where the hell were you all this time?" She asked with a tic mark.
"I had dinner that was no fun at all." Gray piped up.
"We got into a weird tangle with some people… or maybe we started it…" Lucy explained.
"I'm not gonna let them get away with it!" Natsu and Happy exclaimed at the same time.
"Getting away from that… I seriously wanna know where a certain blue haired girl is… anyone?"
"Wendy's not back yet?" Erza asked. I shook my head.
"Come to think of it…" Lucy started.
"She's late…" Gray finished. I face palmed. They aren't listening to a damn thing I say.
"I'm sure she's with Charles, so I doubt she's lost…" Happy piped up.
"It's almost midnight…" Erza stated, looking at the clock.
"That little girl is out this late…" Lucy freaked out at this fact she stated. "What should we do?!" I rolled my eyes.
"Get out of your fantasy land Lucy, that's not going to happen." I stated matter of factly.
"Do all fiction writers have this kind of imagination?" Gray asked.
"Actually… Not that specific imaginations, but on a bad day we think of depressing plots that would bring people to tears like John Green!" I claimed, with a finger pointed in the air.
"However, there are those certain writers who are on the brink of insanity." I whispered to him and he nodded in understanding.
"Hey! We brought treats!" Elfman exclaimed while he and Lisanna walked in.
"Thanks guys! We really appreciate it." I stated with a carefree smile.
"Tomorrow's a big day!" Lisanna replied with a smile.
"Elfman! Lisanna!" Gray called out.
"Are you guys going to watch the Grand Magic Games, too?" Natsu asked.
"Yeah. To be honest, I wanted to be in it myself and show off for Lisanna and Nee-chan, but giving up is also a Man!" I blinked at him. How in the depths of any mind does that make sense? Oh well, nothing makes sense anymore.
"Good timing. Can I ask you a favor?" Erza asked Lisanna.
"What is it?" She asked.
"Actually, Wendy hasn't come back to the inn yet." Erza said. "And we're apparently not supposed to do anything until after midnight. (A/N: Holy shit, I'm sooo-tired haha.)
"Is something going to happen at midnight?" Lisanna asked. I nodded from the back of the group, but since I was so short, nobody could really see me.
"I don't really know, but there's a rule that says we have to be here by midnight." Gray says, scratching the back of his neck awkwardly. The clock chimes. "And as I say that, I notice it is midnight now…" He trails off.
"What's gonna happen?" Natsu questions.
"Everyone in the guilds that have gathered together for the Grand Magic Games… Good morning!" It's the pumpkin!
"Outside?" Erza asks as we all rush outside.
"What the hell is that?! It's huge!" I attempted to stifle a laugh at Natsu but just burst out laughing.
"What?" Gray asks.
"That's what she said!" I yelled between my fit of laughter. Everyone gave me blank looks as I composed myself.
"Anyway… It's a three dimensional figure!" Lucy stated the obvious.
"A pumpkin!" Happy yelled out excitedly.
"Beginning now, we're going to take 113 participating teams and have an elimination round to pair them down to eight." He stated, rather cheerful.
"Elimination round?!" Gray yelled out.
"We didn't hear about this!" Erza shouted.
"Expect the unexpected!~" I sang.
While everyone was in deep thought about the elimination round, my thoughts ran to things that were very important. I wonder if they'll notice me just randomly eating things. Like pie… pie is good. Not the math pie, the actual pie. Especially cherry pie. Mmm, cherry pie.
"Every year, the number of participating guilds increases and it was pointed out that the events were getting stale. This year, there will only be eight teams participating in the official games. The elimination rules are simple!" The ground started shaking.
"What the…?" I looked at Natsu and started laughing at him as he was on the ground looking like he was going to be sick.
"What is this?" Erza asked.
"The inn is transforming!"
"Transformers! More than meets the eye! Transformers, robots in disguise!" I sang out and giggled as they all looked at me weirdly.
"Look! It's happening to the other inns." Gray pointed out.
"Transforming is a Man's romantic fantasy!" Elfman exclaimed.
"I don't know what romantic fantasy movies you've been watching, but it's obviously not the right ones!" I yelled at him.
"All of you are going to race each other!" I pouted at the pumpkin. Race meant running, I can tell you that I am one hundred percent not capable of that.
"The goal is the games arena, Domus Flau. The first eight teams to arrive there will go on." The pumpkin stated.
"A path?" Gray asked.
"We have to take the path?" Erza questioned.
"You're free to use your magic. There are no restrictions. But remember, only the first eight teams to get to the goal will survive this round. However, all six members must arrive together, or it doesn't count! And one more thing! We take no responsibilities for any lives lost in the labyrinth."
"Labyrinth?" Natsu asked.
"The Grand Magic Games elimination round! Sky labyrinth… begin!" He yelled out. I cracked my knuckles.
"I know who I'm killing first!" I stated with a finger pointed in the air.
So the games start next chapter... interesting ^-^ haha, don't forget to review, I find it encourages me to fix my stupid c button on the computer. -_-) It's so messed up, like, I'll press on it like a normal key and it totally rejets me... SEE?! Anywho, have a wonderful night!
