Chapter 3

An Overdose of the Good Stuff

Nall decided it would probably be for the best if he headed back to the peak. Now all he
had to do was find ruby and get back to a private toilet. Last he saw she was near the town
square. "ALRIGHT WHO ELSE WANTS A PIECE OF ME!" Sure enough there was ruby and a pile of men
with sore arms. "C'MON I THOUGHT YOU GUYS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE TOUGH." To nall this was no
surprise since ruby like excerting her masculine side often. "I think i'll come back later."
Nall thought. He heard some more rumbling in his stomach. It was getting to be a bad case.
No sooner did he get near the gate when he bumped into ramus. "Well hello there nall. How's
every little thing?" "I'm...doing fine ramus." Nall replied "If you don't mind i'm kinda in a
hurry right now, my stomach isn't doing so fine." Ramus suddenly got a cheerful grin on his face.
"Well if you have stomach problems take this." Ramus brought up a small vial of blue liquid.
"This fluid will help calm your stomach till later." Since nall was desperate to feel better he
reluctantly took the fluid and gulped it down. "Wow I do feel a bit better, thanks ramus." with
that nall went back into the fair. "Soon nall very soon, you'll make me a very rich man." Ramus
chuckled.

It had taken her many hours and a lot of money, but Lemina finally had her plan all set.
Now all she had to do was be loud enough. "No problem. STEP RIGHT UP EVERYONE AND SEE IF YOU
HAVE THE STOMACH TO WIN LEMINA AUSAS PIE EATING CONTEST! Tee-Hee.^_^" With leminas voice almost
everyone except the old or the deaf could hear her and nall was no exception. "Hmm I know I
shouldn't, but who can resist pie. NOT ME THAT'S WHO." So nall and a few others stpped up to the
table while lemina readied the pies. "Alright everyone, these pies are magic so they refill
themselves after being COMPLETELY eaten. So nobody cheat or else i'll cream your mega-lousy
butts you got it. Alright then, everyone get ready, set...PIG OUT!" The contestants went all out
eating the pie as if zophar was going to destroy everything tonight. It was nall who was shining
the most. Even with his problem he was still a dragon at heart and snarfed those pies into his
dark pit. After 10 minutes nall was the winner with 100 pies. "Well sir it looks like your our
winner. Here's your prize." She held out a small pie. "May this pie bring you great joy and
happiness tee-hee." "Well thanks lemina, but I think i'll hold on to this for awhile." So
nall stashed it away in his sack. Lemina got a frown that could kill fiends on her face.
"Oh c'mon nall this is a super-special pie." Nall suddenly sensed danger from her and suddenly
backed away slowly.

All lemina did was scowl. "Oh mega-pooh he's supposed to eat it. Knowing nall he'll get
hungry sooner or later. Your ass is mine nall then i'll be richer than ramus." "You'll be richer
than who?" Lemina jumped back and gave a glare at ramus. "Alright you meanie what's your deal?"
"Well it just so happens that I secretly gave nall a laxitive to extract a dragon diamond." He
replied. Lemina stood ther a little shocked. "Oh really, I guess that's one way to do it. Yet
I with my superior mind created the ultimate method." Ramus gave her a skepticle look. "What
could be so much better than my method." Lemina got into her famous pose with a sly look. "Glad
you asked pudgey. Those pies he ate were one part of a spell that loosens muscles for athletes.
I gave him a pie that contains the second half of the spell. When the two parts come together
the spell will activate in his intestines and kablooie. Instant dragon diamond. I'm so crafty
it's scary." Ramus just laughed like a 10 year old. "One problem what if he doesn't eat the pie?"


Lemina grazed on this for a moment. "Well knowing nall he'll eat it sooner or later. Then I just
collect." "Oh yeah lemina I didn't know you were the type to go through dragon feces....Oh dear."
Ramus quivered. "What could possibly worry you chunky?" Lemina asked. Ramus just stood there
putting all the facts together. "This is bad, nall now has a laxitive and a powerful spell to
already add to his grinding intestines. The output is probably going to be a lot if he eats the
pie today." They both looked at each other and burst into laughter. "Oh man if wasn't so greedy
i'd feel sorry for him." Lemina chuckled. "So when does the laxitave go off?" "In about ten
minutes." Ramus answered. They stared at each other and ran off in different directions.

"Alright that's it, i'm done, finnito, out of here." Nall fumed. This day was just not going
to get any better so it was time to cash in his chips and leave, bill or no bill. "Now I just
gotta get ruby." Knowing she'd probably be in macho mode still, he went bag to the tug o' war.
Yep there she was still beating the snot out of the other guys. "I'm NOT leaving until somebody
makes me sweat." she boasted. "Awww crap now i'll never get back unless..." Nall stepped up and
did the biggest thing he would regret for a long time. "Fine ruby...*sigh*...i'll face you."
Ruby developed a grin of pure pleasure and anger. "Ahhh nall, I was hoping you'd come. It's
payback for earlier."

Nall went up to the stand and grasped the rope firmly in his hand. "You're goin' down ruby,
then we go home immediately." Ruby took her end of the rope and grinned at nall vicously. "Hmph
fine, but if I win you have to bow to my commands and call me O' Great Mistress for a month."
The thought of that made nall sick. Or was it something else, he couldn't tell. Both Ramus and
Lemina were franticly searching for their ticket to wealth and a possible wife or guild. The
tension was high (For nall even moreso). The bell rang and the two dragons pulled with all their
strength. Ruby gained the upper hand since she has been practicing, but nall had the heart and
the reason to win. "C'mon ruby, I thought you we're tougher than that." Nall taunted. He must
have been dizzy because insulting ruby just makes her try harder. Soon she was pulling with an
almost unbeatable force. "Oh man she's ticked now. I need a little more omph and a little luck."
Then he remembered the pie Lemina gave him. "She said it would bring good joy so here it goes."
He took the pie and gulped it down.

Both Lemina and Ramus had tracked nall to the game grounds. Both had arrived to see
nall gulp down the pie. "Well I hope you got a shovel lemina cause we're gonna be deep in it."
Ramus commented. Lemina didn't care. All she could see we're big money signs. "I'd give Ronfar
a foot massage if it meant getting that diamond." Ramus checked the sun to see the time. "Well
the laxitive should go off in about 15 seconds." "And the magic must be working by now." Lemina
chirped.

10...

Nall was losing his grip.

9...

Ruby was ready to put nall in the dirt.

8...

Lemina still had money marks in her eyes.

7...

Ramus was getting the shovels ready.

8...

Our man Joe is closing in.

6...

I'm going crazy with all this counting.

5...

Are you getting angry yet.

4...

Stomachs getting mushy now. I want a pony. Not really i'm just stumped for jokes. In fact screw 3, 2 and 1. FAST FORWARD.

3....2....1....GOODBYE.

"Oh oh I don't feel so good." nall groaned. His insides were exploding. He needed to get to a
toilet now. "Uhhh nall what's wrong with you?" Ruby asked. Nall, using all the strength and
pressure pulled ruby of the pedestal and mad a dash for the bathrooms, with ruby still on the
rope. "Hey HEY you jerk let me go?" Nall crashed into the port-a-john he knew so well and
slammed the door. Ruby composed herself outside where nall was and dusted off. "Hmph well I
hope he does a full job cause he'll be beat crapless when he gets back." Ruby huffed out of
the front gate and back to Tabens Peak.

Anyone that had something to gain from nalls release waited outside. They waited a long time
in fact. A few hours later a sound came from the toilet. A very tired nall emerged with a huge
grin on his face. "Ohhhh man that was just beutiful. I'm almost sad to see it go. Uhh excuse
me is something wrong?" Everybody stood at attention with a hungry look in their eyes. Someone
even yelled out "TO THE TOILET!" The group quickly went inside the toilet. They looked inside
except...no diamonds. "Hey what's goin' on here?" Joe asked. "They should've been here unless.."
He caught nall sneaking away from the area. "HE'S GOT THE DIAMONDS! GET HIM!" Nall burst to quick
run with almost every person in the city after him. He saw the waitress who gave him the bill
before. He tossed her a small jewel to her hand. "Keep the change!" then ran out of sight.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here it is, the big finish coming very soon. With a few more plot twists and surprises left
in the story. I promise you won't be dissapointed. What did nall do with his drop off. All
this and more on the next chapter.
