Love Contest
Round 3 - To Be Announced
---------------------------------------------------------

Somewhere in Cephiro:

"Yum! This is the best food I've ever tasted!" Umi said whilte she was eating at one of the most expensive restaurants in Cephiro.

"Well, I'm glad you like it." Presea replied.

"This is certainly delicious, Miss Presea." Fuu commented. "Thank you for taking us here."

"You're welcome." Presea looked at her watch. "Anyway, I must be going. I have some business to attend to. When you guys finish eating, just tell them to send the bill to the palace and wait here until I come back, okay? I won't be too long. You can chat with Cephrians while you're waiting. Bye!" With that, Presea was out of sight within 5 seconds.

"WAIT!!!!" Umi shouted with her mouth full and arms waving in the air (fork in one hand, knife in the other) "You didn't finish your meal." When she noticed Presea was nowhere to be found. She said, "Well, then, I guess I'll just help myself. I don't want this food to go to waste." Umi then began to eat Presea's unfinished meal.

Fuu watched her friend and smiled. In her mind, she thought, "I wonder what Presea needs to do. What was it that was so urgent?"

----------------

... back at the palace...

Zazu: Phew... I finally got something approved.

Everyone was sitting around awaiting for Zazu to speak. Finally, Zazu cleared his throat. "Ahem, before we begin round 3, let's have an update on the scores." Flipping through the clipboard he held in his hand, he finally found the score page. "Okay, Right now, Ascot is leading, 2 - 1." The Ascot fans cheered as the Clef fans remained silent.

"That's okay." Geo said. "Clef is bound to win anyway. After all, he is the coolest character during season 1 (the coolest character in season 2 is me, of course.)" Lafarga nodded in agreement.

"How dare you!" Asuka interrupted. " Of course I was the COOLEST in season 2!"

"Whatever. Speak to the hand." Geo said as he lifted up his hand accordingly. (okay, that was so OOC.)

"AHEM!" Zazu loudly cleared his throat. "Now, for Round 3. The category is... HAIR."

"WWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT?????!!!!!!!!! (what?)" - ALL.

Caldina: COHRAN-SAN! HOW COULD YOU APPROVE SUCH A CATEGORY?!!

Cohran (off-stage): Hey! It's better than BEFORE! Live with it!

Zazu faces the shocked stunned audience and continued, "Why the category is hair. Have you noticed that Umi's hair is absolutely beautiful? It's long and pretty and it's always well kept (not to mention blue). So, the other person MUST have nice hair TOO!"

"That is very true." Lafarga said in agreement.

"Oh, really..." Caldina remarked. "So that means I'm not suited for you, LaFarga, my hair is SO much prettier than YOURS." Lafarga was in a little of a panic mode when he heard that. "But, that's okay, I love you anyways!" Lafarga relaxed as Caldina ran over and hugged him.

AAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWW.....

"ANYWAYS!!!" Geo interrupted the cute little scene of two people hugging (yeesh, mushy mushy.) "Like always, Clef SHOULD win this round."

"And why so?" Ferio asked Geo.

"hehe... #1) Clef's hair does not cover half his face (unlike Ascot's.) #2 His hair is a pretty color of lavender (unlike Ascot's, which is dirt brown.) #3) Lavender matches blue better than brown. Case closed."

"Well, well, what is all this talk about hair? Is this what the important meeting was all about?" questioned a voice from the very back of the large meeting room.

Everyone turned to see Presea (very pretty) looking a little annoyed with all of them.

--------------------
Outside:

Eagle and Hikaru were sitting in the outside garden and were chatting away liike old friends.

"Yes, the amusement park was SO fun! You should come with me next time!" Hikaru commented. Then, she felt a presence enter the garden.

Eagle saw the person and whispered to Hikaru, "Presea is hurrying somewhere. She was in the garden just a minute ago."

"Hmm..." Hikaru thought. "Let's follow her and find out what's wrong." The two friends left to follow in the direction where Presea was headed.

--------------------

"PRESEA! How did you get in here?" Clef asked.

"Mou... you guys are so silly. Don't you remember the back entrance?" All the puzzled looks turned into oh-i-forgot-about-that-option-how-silly-of-me look. "So, what is this all ABOUT?!"

Zazu decided to tell Presea. "Clef and Ascot are competing to see who is the best person for Umi."

"Ah, I see." Presea was still a little annoyed. "Don't you know Umi was SO close to finding out?!"

"Oh, so that's what the meeting was all about. Can we stay and watch?" Presea turned around and behind her were Hikaru and Lantis.

"Oh, no, don't tell me they were with you, Presea!"

"Please don't jump to conclusions, we followed Presea here." Eagle told the group.

"Well, well, now three other people know..." Ascot softly said.

"I think we should still keep this secret from Umi and Fuu, the only two people who don't know." Clef concluded.

"Yes, I think that is a wise decision, Clef." Ferio agreed. "Presea, would you, Hikaru and Eagle help us keep this secret?"

"You mean we can't watch?" Hikaru innocently asked.

"Hikaru please help Clef and Ascot." Lantis told her. "We promise we'll make up the lost time with the three of you and Presea and Eagle, okay?"

At first, the three were a little hesitant, then Hikaru spoke up for them. "Okay, we'll help."

"You're the coolest, Hikaru!" Asuka proceeded to give Hikaru a big hug.

---------------
In the meantime, back at the restaurant:

Umi: (talking to waiter) Please send the bill to the palace. Thank you. (after the waiter leaves, she talks to Fuu.) Yummy! That was a GREAT meal!
Fuu: Yes, but it seemed very expensive.
Umi: I wonder where Presea is?

----------------
Meeting room:

Presea: I just remembered! I left Umi and Fuu at the restaurant!

"Oh my, we'd better go pick them up." Hikaru exclaimed. "Let's go. Good luck, Clef, Ascot."

"Finish this competition soon!" Eagle added.

"Try your best." Presea said. The three of them left the room to pick up the two girls at the restaurant.

"Back to business!" Zazu shouted.

"So, who won?" Asked Sam Yung.

"Judges?" Zazu asked Lantis and Ferio.

"Well, we have no choice but to..." (Ferio)

"... have Clef win this round." (Lantis)

"YAY! GO CLEF CLEF CLEF CLEF CLEF CLEF!!" Shout the now official CLEF fan club. "WE LOVE YOU CLEF!"

Ascot looked at little down. "Is my hair really that ugly?"

"Of course not!" Caldina replied and ran up and gave Ascot a sister/brother type hug. "Your hair is perfect. It defines who your are. Don't worry. We love your hair. Don't we, guys?" She looked at the rest of the ASCOT fan club and they all nodded. "See? Just be yourself."

"Thanks guys..."

---------------------------------------
Back at the restaurant...

Umi: It's been at least THREE hours!!! Where is Presea?!!



Hikaru: No! The machine broke down again!
Eagle: This is the 15th time...
Presea: I knew we should have just walked.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE BATTLE CONTINUES.....

Cohran: Man, I think my writing level is going DOWN. I wrote much better writings last year.
Zazu: That's okay.
Cohran: No, it's not. Anyway, I'm too tired to complain. What' the next round?
Zazu: Okay, people please R&R for the next round or else! Next time, Round 4: WHO CAN SING/SERENADE THE BEST? Find out next time, on "LOVE CONTEST."
Cohran: Geez, it sounds like you're advertising.
Zazu: It's fun!
Cohran: Finally, time to go to sleep
Suddenly, Meiousei and Ph LOUDLY barge in.
Ph: WE'RE BACK! DID YOU MISS US?!
Meiousei: Let's drive Cohran crazy!
Cohran: (holding her head) Oh... no... help...
