Chapter 8: Fair time!
Part I

A/N: Finally, last chapter of the story! Now I can finally work on my other projects! I also been drawing a lot recently and trying to fix up my all of the sudden "screwed" web site. Stupid Host. found another one though :).. Oh well I'm off for a month now so I have more time now, unless I'm sleeping through out the day and on the computer all night. (I never go on the computer when its a Saturday night since I watch adult swim on cartoon network.) Did you see session 17 on Cowboy Bebop? (the one that aired on 8-03-02). That episode was really funny. :)
I gotten A LOT of writers block here.. so expect a lot of familiar scenes from some certain games ;)


Let's just skip to 3 hours later okay? It's now 6:00! If you don't like the arrangements I made, tough!
"Knock!" "Knock!" A knock was heard at the door.
" Must be Sheba," Ivan grabbed his wallet and opened the door.
" Hello Ivan. Sheba greeted him, " are you ready to go?"
"Ready as ever." Ivan locked the door and followed Sheba to her car.
" You must be Ivan!" Faran saw Ivan getting into the car, " I'm Faran, Sheba's step dad, nice to meet you."
Ivan shook his hand, " nice to meet you too Faran."
" So Faran how long to you think we could stay?" Sheba asked.
" It depends how long you want to stay." Faran replied.
" I think the fair closes at midnight, so could you pick us up at that time?" Sheba continued her conversation.
" All right, then I'll pick you guys up at midnight okay?" Faran confirmed his answer.
So.... 10 minutes of driving pass and they arrived at their destination.
" Thanks Faran!" Sheba got out of the car with Ivan. Faran said his good-byes and drove away.
" I'll pay for the admission." Sheba took out some money from her purse. " Faran gave me a lot to spend!"
" I'll pay for half of it, just to be fair." Ivan took out a few coins and paid for the admission. They walked into the fair.
"Let's go on some rides!" Sheba grabbed Ivan's arm gently and went into the ticket line. " I can't wait!"
" I wonder what rides they got here." Ivan looked around.
" We'll find out once we explore this place." Sheba got 20 tickets for rides and paid for them.
" We got the tickets, let's go see what they got." Sheba split the tickets between her and Ivan.
" The larger rides are over there." Ivan pointed to the far corner of the park.
" Oh look Ivan!" Sheba pointed to a stuffed animal Jupiter Djinns hanging from a game booth. " They look so cute! I want one!"
" Then you shall have it." Ivan grinned and walked up to the booth.
" Ah, you're a fine young man, would you like to play? It's only 12 coins for 3 rings!" The owner of the game booth noticed the Ivan.
" Yeah, I'll play." Ivan gave the person 12 coins. Ivan knew he had an advantage at this ring toss game. He knew he could used his power to help him and with all that luck, he could win very easily.
Ivan concentrated on his psynergy secretly and tossed the rings into one bottle. He won!
" We got a winner!" The person announced. " What prize do you want?"
" The Jupiter Djinni, over there." Ivan pointed to the doll. He received it and gave it to Sheba.
" It's so cute!" Sheba hugged it tightly. " Thank you Ivan!" She then gave him a hug.
" It was nothing, I could do that any day." Ivan gave her a smirked look.
"Oh look bumper cars!" Sheba looked to her side. " Come on Ivan!"
Ivan quickly got in line since the line was building up little by little. They waited 10 minutes in line.
"Yay! It's our turn!" Sheba gave the ticket operator her and Ivan's tickets and ran towards a car, " I get my own car!"
" I'm getting this one." Ivan saw a silver car and hoped into it.
Everyone got into their cars and the ride started.
"Ah!" Sheba felt a jerk from a silver car hitting behind her. " Ivan! You're going to pay for that!"
" You can't catch me Sheba!" Ivan drove into a crowd of other bumper cars and bumped into them.
" Oh yes I can!" Sheba told herself, while looking for Ivan in the crowd of bumper cars, she bumped into at least 5 other cars.
" I've found you!" Sheba surrounded Ivan in the corner and rammed into him consecutive times.
" Pay back!" Ivan playfully rammed into her when she was off guard. Sheba did get away, but Ivan was always behind her, ramming into her on purpose.
" Take this Ivan!" Sheba rammed into him from behind.
Suddenly the cars all begin to slow down.
"That was so much fun!" Sheba unstrapped herself from the bumper and met up with Ivan.
" Especially when I got to ram into you so many times." Ivan teased her and open the exit gate for her.
" That was not nice!" Sheba chuckled. " Oh well, at least I got to ram you in the corner!"
" Oh look, a Ferris wheel!" Sheba looked up at the lighted wheel. " Let's go on that!"
" As you wish." Ivan followed her to the Ferris wheel line. Paid the ticket operator, and went on
For a visual look on what type of Ferris wheel I'm talking about, it's the kind where you don't hang on to handle bar and sit down in open air. Just think of it as those kind of carts where it's like a covered, but with open air windows.. Get it? Probably not.
"Wow Ivan, you can see everything from up here." Sheba looked to her side out the window as the cart went up. " It's incredible how big land really is."
" Especially how dark it can get at night." Ivan got close to her. " Imagine how dark it would be without the city lights that scatter around at night."
" Oh so you want to get that close to me?" Sheba leaned against him.
" It's a nice time to do it at." Ivan wrapped his arm arm her, " isn't it?"
" Yeah," Sheba nodded lightly.
The cart stopped at the top...
" We're at the top now," Ivan looked down, " we're so far from the ground."
" At the top and no one around." Sheba held onto his shoulders.
" I know," Ivan whispered into her ear. He gently gave her a soft light kiss.
" It's such a wonderful night," Sheba kissed him back, " it's a date in a way."
" I guess," Ivan cradled her in his arms.
The cart started to go down..
" The ride is almost over," Ivan noticed the cart going down, he separated from Sheba just a little and got off the ride.
" That was nice, in a romantic way." Sheba held onto his arm, " so what next?"
" Want to get something to eat?" Ivan asked her, " are you hungry yet?"
" Why, are you?" Sheba replied, " no, I'm not really."
" Just making sure, so if you do happen to get hungry, we could go eat something." Ivan noticed a performance happening in a theater nearby.
" What's happening over there?" Ivan peered over the crowd.
" Looks like some kind of contest or something like that.." Sheba squinted her eyes.
" Is that Garet?" Ivan noticed someone with spiked up hair. " What's he doing?"
" Let's go over there I find out." Sheba walked over near the stage with Ivan close behind.
" A pie eating contest!?" Ivan read the sign, " Garet will win this one, he eats big all the time."
The contest was going to begin soon.
" I wonder if Isaac is here too.." Ivan looked around the area, " oh there he is! "Isaac over here!" Ivan shouted.
" Hey did you guys came to watch Garet win?"
Isaac nodded.
" Garet says he's doing this just for me!" ^_^ Jenna smiled and looked at him just sitting there with the other contestants.
" Hey it's starting!" Mia said suddenly.
" Okay guys you have 60 seconds to eat as many pies as you can are you ready..3..2..1 EAT!" The host shouted and rang the bell. They all started to eat quickly and piggish.
" GO GARET!" All his friends shouted, " EAT THOSE PIES UP!"
Garet was too busy to talk back, he had too much pie in his mouth. He was 2 pies ahead from the other people. He kept eating and eating and eating.
" DING!!!!" the bell loudly ranged, " let's see how many pies are left!"
"Contestant 1 has 4 pies left, but good try!" The host gave the guy a 3rd place ribbon. " now for contestant 2, you have 2 pies left!"
He then gave contestant 2 a second place ribbon.
" WOW!" The host shouted, " contestant 3 really was hungry! There are no more pies!"
He gave the big first place ribbon to Garet. "Tonight's pie eating champion is Garet from Vale!" The crowd cheered.
" Good job you big pig!" Jenna ran and jumped into his arms.
" You sure can eat!" Isaac commented.
Sheba looked at her watch. The Mickey mouse hands pointed at 12:00 midnight. " Ivan, it's already midnight. Faran will be here at anytime so let's go wait outside for him."
" Aw, you guys have to go so soon?" Mia said, holding a stuffed Ultros doll.
" Promised Faran to be out at midnight."
" We don't really need these anymore," Ivan handed Mia the rest of the tickets, " you guys can have them."
" Thanks Ivan!"
Sheba tugged onto his arm, " let's go little man, Faran is waiting."
" Bye guys!" Ivan turned back.

Meanwhile at the Lemirian Tavern... Felix and Picard were getting drunk and Jan or Ultros doesn't know what the hell they also did in there.... hmmmm


THE END!

a/n: there! FINALLY FINISHED! For those who have no clue who Ultros is... he's that purple funny octopus from Final Fantasy 3/6.
