I've finally decided to update again. Told you I wasn't forgetting this story.

Chapter 25:The Chaotic Carnival: Part 1

"Wow, I feel really out of place here,"G&W muttered. The world was, for lack of a better word, colorful. It was a gigantic carnival with every ride you could think of in every color you could think of.

"I don't know,"NiGHTS said, looking around thoughtfully."I feel like I fit right in for some reason."If G&W had eyes, he would have rolled them.

"Of course you do,"he said."You're a jester and this is a carnival. You go together like a gardener and a greenhouse."Leon himself was in a state of sheer excitement.

"What should we go on first?"he shouted to them. Before they could even answer, he yelled out "OOOOH! Let's go to the Funhouse!"He immediately ran off, then NiGHTS and G&W looked at each other for a brief moment before chasing after him. They saw that some strange little cone headed creatures were already inside the collossal building. Leon and G&W looked at them in awe.

"What are those little things?"G&W asked."Are they a part of this place, too?"

"Sort of,"NiGHTS said."They're called Nightopians. They're residents of the different Nightopias in the Night Dimension."

"Cute,"Leon remarked, then shook his head."FUNHOUSE!"He immediately ran into the building, NiGHTS and G&W quickly following. The first area of the funhouse was nothing but mirrors, as they expected; but it was almost impossible to navigate through it. Especially for G&W, as he was really weirded out by seeing himself from so many angles. He was always use to seeing himself from the front when he looked in a single mirror. NiGHTS continuously bumped into the mirrors trying to catch Leon, who was moving through the maze with hardly any difficulty. For some reason, he laughed hysterically every time he bumped into a mirror.

"Leon! Will you please slow down?"NiGHTS asked. Leon turned to her and frowned angrily.

"I don't wanna!"he shouted, shaking his fist angrily. He then fell back into a sitting position and smiled happily."Okay!"NiGHTS continued to fly through the maze, followed closely by G&W. Leon pointed in a seemingly random direction as he watched them, and they both looked at him strangely.

"What is he doing now?"G&W asked.

"I think I know. C'mon,"NiGHTS said, going in the direction the teen was pointing. Leon then made the bring it sign with two fingers, teling them to move forward. They did so and didn't knock into a single mirror, and after a minute of following his instructions, they reached him at the end, then he quickly pushed himself to his feet.

"NEXT!"he screamed, walking into the next area of the funhouse, which was a gigantic bounce room filled with Nightopians.

"Oh boy,"G&W muttered. Leon leapt into the room and started hopping around like a demented pogo stick with the little creatures.

"Yaaaahoooooooooo!"he shouted as he literally bounced off the walls and ceiling. G&W crossed his arms and scoffed.

"You won't see me jumping around in the there like an idio-WHOA!"NiGHTS suddenly pushed G&W forward with a mischievious smile on her face. She snickered as the 2-D man flopped around like a peice of paper."GET ME OUTTA THIS CRAZY THING!"NiGHTS calmly floated past them and sat in midair on the other side, chin rested on her fist."Having fun, Leon?"

"YAAAAY! I'M GONNA BE SICK!"he screamed happily. Eventually, G&W was bounced out of the room and landed on the floor next to NiGHTS with a grunt. He pushed himself to his feet and gave her a death glare. Although NiGHTS couldn't see his expression, she knew he was pissed.

"There are 3 things keeping me from throttling you,"he said angrily."1:You don't have a neck, 2:I'm far too chivalrous to hurt a lady, and 3:You're boyfriend would kill me if I tried."At first, NiGHTS was smiling at his statements, but that last one caught her completely off guard.

"I-h-he...w-we're not...m-me and him..."G&W had a growing smirk on his blank face as she stuttered hopelessly. Leon had now gotten tired of bouncing around and jumped over to the two of them. He gave NiGHTS a concerned look since she was still stuttering a bit.

"You okay, NiGHTS?"he asked. When she turned away with a blush, Leon looked at G&W."What's wrong?"G&W shrugged nonchalantly.

"I can't say,"he said smoothly.

"Let's just go,"NiGHTS said quietly, still blushing slightly. The trio started to climb up a VERY long set of stairs, but Leon was the only one out of the three who didn't question its incredible length. When they finally reached the top, their jaws dropped like stones. Somehow, a humongous tower had grown from the building and had stretched nearly a quarter mile in the air, with a giant whirling slide that ended near the ground far below.

"Holy..."G&W muttered. Leon grinned madly at the sheer height, but it disappeared when he noticed strange creatures floating around the slide, the others noticed the creatures also."What are those?"G&W asked.

"I can't tell. They're too far away,"NiGHTS said, squinting.

"Some of 'em look like seahorses,"Leon remarked, looking through some binoculars.

"They must be Seapos, then,"NiGHTS said, then she blinked."Wait, how can you even-?"They both looked at him and saw his binoculars.

"Where did you get those?"G&W asked, causing Leon to look back at them.

"There's a shelf,"he said, jabbing a thumb over his shoulder. They both looked back and saw the shelf in question.

"When did that get there?"NiGHTS asked as Leon put the binoculars back up.

"Don't question it,"G&W muttered."You'll just get a headache, like mine."He added the last part bitterly while holding his head, then Leon held his own head.

"Wait, I'm having one of those things,"he said."You know, that thing where thoughts come together in your head and make a picture. Argh, what are those things called?"

"I'm guessing an idea,"G&W said flatly. Leon snapped his fingers and smiled.

"Yeah, that's it!"

NiGHTS chuckled."So, what's your idea, Leon?"

"I think we should all go down this slide together and take out as many of them as we can while we're sliding. It'll be fun!"

"...That...actually sounds interesting,"G&W remarked."You're saying we should compete to see who can take out the most before we reach the bottom?"Leon nodded enthusiastically.

NiGHTS smiled."I like it!"she said."Let's do it!"They all sat down at the edge, NiGHTS a bit reluctantly. She always stayed in the air, so it felt a bit strange to sit on something solid.

"Ready! Set! Go!"
