Ahh, So sorry for this very delayed chapter. I was overcoming writer's block after coming back from camp. So this might not be too good, but I hope it's entertaining.
Disclaimer: I do not own MKR in any part or way... blah blah. Usual disclaimers.
Cohran: Ya, know, as I was writing this fic, I realized something - Zazu is the name of that annoying toucan in THE LION KING (C) Disney. I didn't realize that until now. Ain't that weird?
Zazu: And you call yourself a MKR fan. Shame on you.
Cohran: Hey. Shut up.
Zazu: Whoa, look at the votes! Ascot is so winning!
Ferio: Does Clef get pity points?
Lantis: No.
Cohran: I think Clef does deserve to win at least a few rounds. I mean...
Caldina: Hey! Is the author taking sides?!
Cohran: No, I just mean...
Geo: Of course she is! Clef is obviously the best choice.
Cohran: Shaddup! What I mean is that Clef does have some good character traits, we have to give him credit for at least some!
Asuka: What about Ascot?
Cohran: He's cool too.
Tatra: Just cool?! Hmph. (Goes off and has a fit.)
Cohran: It's so hard to work with animated characters...
Ferio: Uh, Cohran, the fic?
Cohran: Right right. Okay, here's Round tw--
Zazu: Shut up! It's MY job to announce the ROUNDS! (ahem) And now, Round 2. Age.
Cohran: Warning, some ghosts appear and some debate is coming up!

Love Contest
Round 2 - Age
----------------------------------------------------------
After about an hour of so of bickering between the spectators of the contest, the two judges finally calmed everyone down. Once everyone was seated, Zazu stood up on the podium (did I mention there was a podium?) and announced the next round.
"Ahem. On to round 2: age." As soon as Zazu said the word age, the supporters of Clef became enraged.
"And just what does age have to do with love?" shouted Zagato's ghost. Emeraude's ghost nodded.
"Haven't you ever seen those movies where the guy is like twenty years older than the girl but they get married and have kids anyway?" Shouted Geo.
Zazu: "Geo, have you been watching those weird rental movies again?"
Geo: "Shaddup!"
Zazu: "Anyway, let us have the spectators decide. What do you guys have to say?"
Caldina stood up. "Well, like Ascot should so win this round since he is almost the same age as Umi (well, closer than clef at least.) He looks about seventeen."
"But wait." Lafarga argued. "Clef looks like a child, yet he is older than Ascot. Can't you say that Clef ages better? He doesn't look a year older than twenty!"
"Also," Geo added. "If you noticed, Ascot was or appeared to be a very young child when he first met Umi. Then, within less than a year, he ages to look almost ten years older. So what is his real age?"
Asuka: "Ascot grew older FOR UMI!"
Sam Yung: "Yeah!"
"You don't get it." Geo said. "No matter how old you look or grow, nothing can change the flow of time."
Caldina: "Geo, haven't you watched those time machine movies? The flow of time CAN be changed."
Geo: "Those guys are just out for your rental money. Those movies are so fake I can't even stand them. You just get ripped off. Anyway, I think clef should win. Definitely!"
Caldina: "Hey, you call those movies---"
Geo: "Shaddup! Anyway, about the flow of time. Nothing can change the flow of TIME. Let's say we have a new notebook. Within one month, it gets worn out and looks as old as another notebook about ten years old. However, the new notebook that got worn out is still only one month old. Only the outer appeareance changed."
"So Clef should win the round because he doesn't look that old but he has gone through many experiences which makes him very wise and the better of the two candidates." concluded Zagato's ghost.
"But... Ascot is so much cooler!" whined Tatra.
"Whoa, take that back, Clef has so much more coolness!" Shouted Geo. "Besides, ROUND TWO is AGE! Not coolness!"
"I say Ascot wins this round." shouted Caldina.
"Support your say." Geo told her. When Caldina did not say a word, Geo made a slight grin. "HAH! See, there is no way Ascot will win this round!" Once again, the room erupted as people once again began insulting each other and arguing about who should win this round. (Personally, I think they fight too much, but they have such strong personalities...^_^)

"Guys, I am going to figure out what's going on in that meeting room!" Umi told Hikaru and Fuu as they were putting the horses away.
"But Umi," Hikaru said as she closed the stall door. "We can't do that."
Umi gave her horse some food and then leaned against the door with an annoyed look on her face. "And just why not?"
"Because they are holding a very important meeting." Fuu said.
"Important my butt!" Umi shouted. "Aren't we more important than important?!"
"Umi, we aren't goddesses." Hikaru pointed out. The three began walking towards the palace.
"But we're the LEGENDARY magic knights! Anyway I don't care. I will find out." Umi had decided and it was final. "Come on, let's go!" Umi, followed by Hikaru and Fuu, began walking towards the meeting room when Hikaru saw something, or rather someone, off in the distance. After looking twice, Hikaru screamed,
"Eagle!" With lightning speed, Hikaru zoomed over and hugged her friend hard. "I missed you so much!"
"I missed you too, Hikaru." Eagle looked down at her. She hasn't changed a bit, he thought. "So, how have you been?"
"Great!" Hikaru replied with her usual cheerfulness. While she and Eagle caught up on old times, Umi and Fuu understandingly left the two and walked closer to the meeting room.
"Fuu, I am going to find out what's going on around her if it's the last thing I do." Fuu just nodded understandingly, knowing that Umi would not change her mind.
***
Zazu finally got the meeting room quiet again (after threatening to kick them all out and not letting them help on deciding who would be the victor of the contest, as well as being shocked by Lantis's lightning call.)
Zazu cleared his throat. "Ahem. Anyway, the judges have decided the results of this Round 2 - Age."
***
Fuu and Umi were standing in front of the meeting room. It was there that they found Presea.
"Presea!" Umi exclaimed. "Do you have any idea what's going on in there?"
Presea replied to the blue haired girl with a flat, "No."
Umi, with a determined look on her face, approached the door. Presea held out her hand. "Wait, Umi. Don't open the door."
Umi: "Why not?" With that, she slowly opened the large heavy door.
***
Zazu: "The winner is..." Suddenly, the room became death silent as they all heard the loud crack of the door. One of the heavy doors opened about an inch, when, suddenly, it slammed shut again. All the people in the room were too suprised to say anything.
***
Presea jerked Umi away from the door. "Umi, why don't you and I go out to lunch? They'll probably be in there the entire day conducting a business meeting or something. Let's go!"
Umi: but... but...
Presea looked at Fuu, then nodded understandingly. "Of course, Fuu will be coming too." Fuu appeared a little shocked but went along with Presea. Presea hooked arms with the two legendary knights and began to leave the palace. "Umi, you are going to love where I'm taking you! We're going to this really expensive but really good restaurant. It's delicious, probably one of the best in cephiro..." Umi had no choice but to go along. After all, she loved expensive food.
***
Zazu: "As I was saying, the winner is... Ascot!" The room immediately erupted in chaos. The Ascot fan club were giving each other high 5's and the Clef fan club (which contained two ghosts as well) were angrily accusing the judges of being biased. Finally, Lantis silenced the room with his Lightning call.
"If you want an explanation, I shall give it to you." The spectators sat down and tried to listen to Lantis. "You see, actually, this was a very difficult decision. After all, both sides had good defenses. However, because Ascot is closer to Umi's age than Clef we gave him the credit."
"Whoa! Why does closer age matter? What happened to Love has nothing to do with age?" Geo shouted.
"And just what do YOU know about love?!" Caldina shouted back. Geo looked as if were gonna pound her head in.
Prince Ferio stood up. "Well, we think Ascot could relate better with Umi than with Clef, who is much much much older than her (no offense to Clef.)" Clef and his fans didn't look too happy, so Ferio included, "Don't worry, there are many more categories that you could win in. This is ONLY the beginning."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, the truth is when I was first writing this chapter, the Ascot/Umi fans outnumbered the Clef/Umi fans a lot. So that's why Ascot won.
Zazu: Geez, why didn't you just say so?
Cohran: Go away, this is my fic! (Zazu starts to leave the stage.) WAIT! Come back, we need you to stay for this fic.
Zazu: Well, you said go away...
Cohran: forget what I said, now announce the next round!
Zazu: Ahem. The next round is... Round 3: NOT YET DECIDED.
Cohran: WHAT?? That's it. I'm cutting down your pay.
Zazu: So much for that raise.
Anyway, by the time the next chapter rolls around, there will not be a 'NOT YET DECIDED.' It will be decided. Well, R&R and vote ... BYE BYE!!
