I don't own TUC I do own Sydney and the idea for the game they are playing. (Why? Cause I made it up in the 4th grade) anyways enjoy!

Chapter 10

"I said knock it off!" Sydney yelled as yet another Underlander joined the chant.

"Free too pee! Free to pee!" the said marching back and forth between both bathrooms.

Sydney glared at all of them. "Fine!" she shouted, "You're all free to pee. Ok?" The Underlander's stopped chanting, and cheered. Then Sydney looked at her watch and made her way to where the council meeting was going to be held.

Sydney sat down at the council table pouting while Stellovet sat across from her with a triumphant smirk on her face. The girls glared at each other each time there eyes met.

Not long after they had both sat down, Gregor entered with Ares, and Cleves. "Cleves!" Sydney shouted jumping up, and hugging him tightly around his neck. The bat with white fur and gold spots returned the hug of the Overland girl.

"Hello Sydney." he purred, "How have you been?"

"I've been a bit put out, I guess you could say." she said glaring at Stellovet. Stellovet smiled sweetly, and began to study her nails. "How are you?"

"I am well thank you. I have heard from a fellow flier that strange things have been happening these past few days."

"Really? What have you heard?" she asked slowly.

"Well for one thing have you seen Hephaestus? Someone shaved him in his sleep! Also I have heard reports of rough lobsters, and goings on near the third floor bathroom."

Sydney and Stellovet exchanged glances, "Interesting." Stellovet said slowly.

"Indeed, very interesting," Sydney said slyly. At that moment Vikus entered the room.

"Good late day all." He said nodding and taking his place at the beginning of the table. The other council members began to slowly trickle in, and each person took their place. "Now that we are all here," Vikus began, but was cut short by Hazard bursting through the entrance of the hall, "Greetings Hazard, is there anything you are needing? I must ask you to leave; we are in the process of a very important meeting."

Hazard froze then answered, "RAWR! I'm a taco! Fear Me!" he screamed, and ran back out into the hallway.

Those who were playing the game snickered while the other council members sat there looking confused. "Anyways," Vikus continued, "I believe Luxa has come to a solution to our um shrimp problem." Vikus sat down and Luxa stood.

"Greetings all." She said looking out over the council, "I believe that we should stop focusing on the shrimp. Have we never had seasons like this before with other animals we use for food? Yes we have, the shrimp must be in one of those seasons. It is a simple explanation, and one that we should have come to sooner."

"Lies!" said Ripred standing, "You know this is not true! You just don't care!"

"Is that so? What makes you think that?" she asked placing her hands on her hips.

"You have never cared. Shrimp and cream sauce is the one thing that gives me joy in life, and you just want to take it away. How can you be so heartless?"

"Heartless? You are the heartless one."

"No I am not! Lies!"

"Why don't we just ask a certain crawler ambassador?"

Ripred froze, and then his tail twitched. "You go too far." He said quietly. Luxa just stared at him angrily. "This bondage is over!" the council gasped.

"Fine!" Luxa shouted, and crossed her arms.

"Fine! I'm bonding with Gregor." Ripred said turning to Gregor who was sitting in his chair watching the whole scene unfold.

All heads swiveled to look at him. Gregor glanced at Ares who gave a slight nod. "Sure," Gregor shrugged.

"Gregor!" Luxa exclaimed.

"What?" he asked

"You can't just bond with Ripred right after he has broken a bond with me!"

"Too bad princess, he just did." Ripred said smirking; "Besides I always liked him more than you anyways."

Luxa's eyes widened, and she grew furious. "How dare you." she said slowly.

"If it makes you feel better I like you more that Ripred." Gregor chimed in.

"You do?" Ripred said with a hurt look in his rat eyes.

"Of course, she's pretty, smart, funny, gorgeous, amazing, nice, pretty much everything your not." Gregor said simply.

"That is it! I will not take any more insults from you! This bondage is over!" Ripred shouted and turned away from Gregor who shrugged, and went back to his original position.

"Ok, good for you." he said yawning.

"Don't you dare go to sleep." Luxa said glaring at him.

Gregor gave her a look. "Gosh you're both so demanding. Gregor do this, Gregor don't do that. Give it a rest already!"

"We do not!" Ripred and Luxa said at the same time then glared at each other.

"You're alike too you know, both sarcastic and annoying at times."

"Annoying?" Luxa asked.

"She's not annoying." Ripred laughed, "She was annoying at age five. Now she's got it down to a torture."

"Exactly! Just like Ripred isn't sarcastic, he's got it down to an art."

"That's right! Shall we?" Ripred asked holding out his tail.

"Yes, we shall." Said Luxa holding out her hand, and shaking his tail. "We are now rebounded!" she announced.

"Meeting adjourned!" Ripred said and they walked out together discussing who knows what.

Vikus sighed, "I will let you all know when we shall resume discussion of the missing shrimp." Those who were still left in the hall quickly departed.
