A/N: Gerhags that last part was a bit... too random... (thinks this over for about half a second) Nope. Just right... Anyway, I meant to thank all the nice people who told me what LMAO meant! I'm sorry your praise and glory comes so late!

Part VIII : Karel Little

Once upon a time there lived a very pretty and sort of scary man named Karel. He had long, flowing black hair and burning yellow eyes of DOOM that made the author's friend freak out. He was also from Sacae, but that only sort of matters as much as the rest of the... uh, plot?

Anyway, one day Karel was walking along in a conveniently-placed and totally illogical forest in the middle of the plains, humming happily to himself, a bounce in his peppy step. (A/N: (confused) Are you sure it's Karel we're talking about?) Then, very suddenly, something hit him on the top of his noggin!

"Ow..." he muttered under his breath, then lost all merriness and began cursing violently. When he was done, he looked around, and, seeing nothing, looked straight up. Totally bypassing the fact that the tree he happened to be under was bearing acorns, he saw a small speck of the sky through the canopy. Then an evil thought occurred to him: "Why, I think the sky is falling..." He paused, then smiled, pleased.

Now whistling a tune to himself, he walked out of the forest, and came upon Lyndis kind of just... standing there...

"Hello, Karel Little," she said sort of stupidly, blinking at him and smiling. He gave her a bland look. "How are you today?"

"The sky is falling," grunted Karel bluntly, turning as if to walk away. Lyndis grabbed his sash before he could, which kept him there, even if he was about to rip her arm off.

"What's that you say, Karel Little? The sky is falling?" Lyndis's eyes widened in either fear or incomprehension. "That's horrible!"

No it's not, spat Karel mentally. He simply sighed and pushed her away from him, effectively detaching her from his sash. He walked forward again, but was followed by a worried-looking Lyndis.

They soon came upon Rath, who's head was tilted a bit to the side, drool hanging from his mouth. His horse, Pierrdro, snorted at their approach.

"My, my, it's Sleepy Rath!" giggled Lyndis, skipping up to him and simply pushing him off of the horse.

Karel stared down at the heap that was Rath, as the green-haired nomad slowly woke up. Rath yawned, then looked from Karel to Lyndis. "Hello, Karel Little, Preppy Lyndis," he greeted in a monotone, standing up and remounting Pierrdro. "How fare thee today?"

"The sky is falling," Karel sighed, sounding somewhat bored.

Rath gasped, equally as bored-like. "Oh, no... You're not pulling my leg, are you?"

"Not at all, Sleepy Rath!" said Lyndis, a worried look on her face again. "Karel Little told me not two minutes ago, and we of Sacae never lie."

"Yeah- your chips weren't that good..." sighed Rath (A/N: You'd have to read Nomads United to get that one...). "So, should we inform others of this terrible happening?"

"Why not?" Lyndis said cheerilly, despite the fact that only a second earlier she looked as though she'd pee herself. "Come, Karel Little, Sleepy Rath, let us tell others of our findings out!"

In all truth, Karel didn't even intend to let them follow him around for very much longer. But this was just ridiculous- he'd felt the sky fall, but he didn't know that they would react so oddly to it! Crud, Karel, you're losing your mind! ...Oh, wait... It's been lost...

After walking a short distance, they came upon Guy trying to grab a butterfly out of the air, glaring at it and stuff.

"Well, if it isn't Girly Guy," yawned Rath. "How is your day?"

"...Complicated!" grunted Guy, just as he was about to grab that little bugger, but it fluttered out of his reach.

"Karel has some terrible news," Lyndis said, looking scared again. Guy blinked, still trying to get the elusive butterfly.

Suddenly, Karel stabbed it with his Wo Dao, stopping a quarter of the idiocy before him. "The sky is falling," he said after a dramatic pause.

Guy blinked again. "Wha... What are you talking about?" He looked into the sky. "I see no sky falling..."

Lyndis pulled his hair violently, nearly ripping his scalp off. "Silly Girly Guy! A Sacaen never lies!" she rhymed moronically, giggling again.

"Ouchies!" he screamed, gripping his head in pain and falling to his knees. "Oh!" he squeaked, wincing in horrific pain.

"Now come, Karel Little, Sleepy Rath, and Girly Guy! We must warn our fellow nomad-folk!" urged Lyndis.

The last Sacaen they came upon was none other than Karla. She was drinking a chocolate milkshake she'd acquired from nowhere in particular.

"Good day to you... um..." trailed Guy, for a loss of what to call her.

"Silly Karla," said Karla, smiling pleasantly. She turned to her brother. "So good to see you, Brother."

"The sky is falling," he murmured sort of evilly, looking thoughtful for a moment. Karla gasped overdramatically, tossing her milkshake in a random direction. It just ended up hitting Rath in the face as he was falling to sleep again.

"GASP!" gasped Karla again. "But, Brother! That's horribabble!" She continued to rant while Karel wondered how these sort of intelligent people's IQ's had dropped so darn much in under twenty-four hours. "How can you look so blank at a time like this? This might be the end of the world!"

"Nah," chuckled Karel, totally out-of-character. He quickly scowled. "If it was the end of the world, dragons would roam the Earth and hellfire would rain down on us from on high."

Nils and Ninian happened to be strolling by when he said this, and Nils was holding a Gameboy (har-de-har-har!).

"Put that Perpetual Dreamstate game down," Ninian said softly, trying to pry it out of his grasp. "It'll hurt your eyes."

"For the last time, Sister, it's Final Fantasy, not Perpetual Dreamstate!" Nils yelled, his eye twitching as he tried to keep a hold on his precious Gameboy.

Ninian looked a bit put off, but frowned and tugged harder on the gaming system. "It never ends, Nils- the name itself is ironic," she clucked all parental-like.

He glared up at her. "I've almost beat Ifrit, though! How could you be so heartless, Ninian?" A tear rolled down his cheek, but then he pulled his portable gaming system colser to himself, trying to cradle it affectionately. "I lurve it wit all me heart..."

The girl cocked an eyebrow at him, her hands still firmly on the Gameboy. "You've been having sugar again, haven't you?" she gasped, then stuck a hand into one of his pockets, only to find- "A CANDYCANE? It isn't even winter, you little sneak! You know how sugar affects you!"

"Yes, but that hasn't stopped me from having it, now has it?" he snapped back at her, grabbing the candycane and stuffing it into his mouth.

As Karel, Lyn, Rath, Guy, and Karla were still debating in which form Armaggedon would kill them all, Ninian turned into her dragon form and glared down at Nils. He glared right back.

"Bring it, SISTER," he hissed, spitting the candycane out at her.

Now, before you ask, the nomads happened to be under some trees. ACORN-filled trees. So when Ninian started chasing her little brother around and causing small tremors, the acorns all fell and bludgeoned our unsuspecting Sacaens mercilessly.

"The sky is falling!" screeched Karla, running away, quickly followed by Rath, Guy and Lyndis.

Karel stayed behind. Not because he was petrified in fear (because... um... well, he isn't that kinda guy, ya know- of course you know!), but because he was smiling in a satisfied way again.

So what if the world was ending? He could still hear people's screams for mercy.

Okay, that went a little into the 'Parody' zone, which is why... this is... 'Humor/General!' Because it's mainly humor, but has underlying secondary genres just covered up by the senseless idiocy! I have a book with 'Chicken Little' as the only story, but I couldn't find it to make it accurate, but, hey... It's a parody, not a retelling.

Um, sort of... But, anyway, the Sugarority Complex sort of peeked out from being ignored for so long there! And Karel was unusually calm and not talking about killing things! Whoa! What was he on? And why were the others so stupid? Well... Um... I don't know! But I had a hard time deciding what to call Karla, since I named all the others... And this is a bit longer than the other parts, but don't mind that! It's in Roman Numerals, just like Final Fantasy!

(PS: I'd like to give credit for 'Perpetual Dreamstate' to my mom, who suggested it while I was playing Final Fantasy X.)
