Hello again, children! What a long time it has been since I've seen you all! I know you missed me- *Gets hit in the face with a rotten tomato* ….I see that there are mixed feelings about my absence….. I'll just go die now….
No, I don't think I will. You would like that too much.
In my defense, I just got the boxed sets of both Bleach and Naruto. UNCUT. One does not simply just walk away from that. Would YOU?
Without further ado, I present Chappie 13 (My FAVORITE number…)
Mavis was sitting at her desk inside of her tent, wondering just when the new mage would come. She checked the position of the sun, and sighed.
'She didn't put on her Lacrima first thing I see… Interesting.' Mavis thought. That was a first for her, as most people were in such a rush to attain their newfound power that Makarov didn't even finish his explanation before they entered The Domain.
Mavis' Domain resided in the Ringmasters' tent and it had been more than seventy years since someone had picked her Lacrima (Mostly because the last person did not end up in a, shall we say…pleasurable state. But that is a story for another time…). With nothing to do, she had sat, and waited for someone to choose her.
Suddenly, a blonde, busty (And very disheveled) mage tumbled to the floor of the tent. She sat up, wincing as she rubbed her backside. Lucy looked up at the long haired, girlish figure in confusion.
"Who… what….where….." Lucy stammered. Mavis sighed and shook her head.
"I think the question, Lucy, is who." She explained.
"Okaay…. Who? Who are you, and why am I here?" Mavis banged her head on her desk, realizing that the situation wasn't nearly as simple to explain as she remembered it to be. She looked back at Lucy, who was staring at her with the most flustered expression.
The girlish mage felt her poker face slipping, and turned to hide the strained smirk on her face. Unfortunately, she couldn't stop the snicker that escaped.
Lucy's eye twitched and she stood up and stalked to the quaking mass at the desk. She almost reached the destination when, suddenly, Mavis stopped laughing and spun to face the angered blonde, her poker face intact once again.
So surprised was she, Lucy stumbled backwards and landed on her behind, which was still sore from her 'fall'. She muttered a string of curses, and resumed rubbing her tailbone once again.
And, once again, gone was Mavis' poker face as she burst into full-blown laughter. She collapsed from her chair and fell to the floor in a heap, clutching her sides and rolling around. Lucy stood up, and started imagining the horrible things she wanted to do to a specific mage right then.
In a minute, she had composed herself and was wiping tears from her eyes. Mavis met the glare of Lucy and cleared her throat.
"Sorry. I just haven't laughed at anything for a while and..." She shifted uncomfortably under the other mage's death stare, and decided to get to the point.
"The question I'll answer first is 'where'. You are in my Domain, Lucy. The place I have resided in for…" She counted on her fingers "One hundred and fifty years!"
"Your…. What?" Lucy asked.
"My Domain. What you're in right now?" Mavis looked to Lucy to see if any bells were rung but, alas, there were none.
The mage pulled down a chart from the ceiling with a diagram of Lucy's head and a picture of a Lacrima off to the side.
'I'm not even gonna ask.' The blonde thought.
"So," Mavis began "When you put on the Lacrima, you kind of passed out, right?" To emphasize her point, she crumpled to the ground in a wanton position with her eyes shut, mimicking a person collapsing and blacking out.
"…Yeess?" Lucy took a second to answer.
The mage stood back up and pointed to Lucy's head.
"Let's see… since you put the Lacrima on, my domain should be right aboouut… HERE!" Mavis exclaimed, causing Lucy to jump.
Mavis was pointing somewhere near the front of Lucy's brain, and that served to confuse the blonde even more.
"What?" Lucy inquired. Mavis rolled her eyes and groaned.
"You're unconscious, right? So, we are currently residing right here." She tapped the spot again on the diagram. It took a minute to process this, and Lucy thought loooonng and haaarrd about it.
"WHAT THE FUCK DOES THE LACRIMA HAVE TO DO WITH IT?!" Lucy shrieked when she finally put the pieces together.
Mavis' eye started twitching again as she realized her other mistake.
"So, I should have begun with 'who' after all…" She mumbled.
"Wait, what?" Lucy asked with a confused expression.
"Introductions, Lucy. Introductions."
"Ohhh…"
Mavis stuck her hand out to Lucy.
"Hi! I'm Mavis Vermilion of Le Cirque du Fairy Tail." Lucy was about to shake her hand when realization struck her.
"Mavis… Vermilion?"
"Yep!"
"So you're…" Lucy stared with wide eyes at the smirking Mavis.
"The first Ringmaster? Yes I am! And what you have there…" She pointed to the glowing blue crystal at the base of Lucy's throat.
"…Is my Lacrima." Mavis stated. She pushed the diagram back up to the top of the tent, where it vanished entirely. The mage sat back down in the chair at her desk, where she leaned back and clasped her hand to her chest.
"I understand that you need to know about your powers…" She said, with a face full of mischievous glee as she began rubbing her hands together, giving herself a conniving aura.
And BOOM. The Cliffhanger Queen is BACK, my children.
