Yoshimi: *plunking down suitcases* I'm back!

Richard: Yo!

Tom: Yo!

Harry: Yo yo-yo!

Wilhelmina: Shut up.

Phil: *looking up from a newspaper* Welcome back. You got in the London newspapers.

Yoshimi: What? *looks over Phil's shoulder* Let's see..."Airport Security Increased Due To Attack By Cloaked Men"?

Wilhelmina: *very much insulted* What about women?! I did all the work and they get all the credit!

Richard: Groovy!

Wilhelmina: *whacks him over the head with a mallet*

Yoshimi: *grabbing newspaper* What's this? "Riot By Authors And Muses Near Local Author's Home"? Uh, oh...

Angry Reviewer 1: I guess he's cottoned on to us.

Angry Reviewer 2: There probably isn't any use hiding any more.

Angry Rabble: *come out from behind trees and shrubbery in Yoshimi's yard*

Yoshimi: *locking door* Here are the reviews!

&&&

Empress Dotdotdot -- I try to work on both fanfictions at the same rate. And you guessed correctly!

Azusasan -- Oh. Sorry. I forgot about ticket scalpers. The thing that came to my mind was "people who scalp others." I didn't have fun in Rivendell because, once I had gotten better and was ready to enjoy myself, I got kicked out. *glares at Ringwraiths*

Richard: Hey, it's the Sword That Was Broken. It won't matter if it gets broken a few more times.

Tom: And I'm sure he doesn't need that many heirlooms around.

Yoshimi: *sighs*

Midnight C -- Don't worry about missing a few chapters. Just keep your word about never doing it again! I got the drug trafficking from something Sheba (Griffinkhan's muse) wrote while trying to force me into writing about her.

Super Sheba -- GO INSANENESS! ^_^ With all the insane authors, I'm surprised that the Golden Sun characters haven't gone insane themselves! And you're welcome.

Griffinkhan -- Uh, oh...I'm not sure if there's going to be anything about Sheba until Sulhulla...I'm doomed, aren't I? And, yes, I updated with an invisible chapter last time...heh, heh, heh...

Vyctori -- I was going into cliffhanger withdrawl...actually, I'm not sure if I've wrote any cliffhangers yet...caught, draught, hey that rhymes! 0_o; You need to work on not keeping such big grudges...I forget what you said in my other fic, but I'm sure I don't want to know.

Akachi -- Evil beyond the grave, eh? Well, I'll be.

Phil: You'll be what?

Yoshimi: *glares at Phil* *turns back to review* Elrond said hi back! Or at least, "Who's Akachi?" but he also said "Hello to whoever she is."

Shiro Amayagi -- You'll also be good for a guide, as none of them have gone through this area before. I'm glad you're better! Now you have depth perception!

Veilius -- I'm sure I can't stop the Ringwraiths from having lots of action! In fact, this time, they almost have more time in the spotlight than the actual update!

Harry: *twirling* Ho-la!

Wilhelmina: *whacks him on the head*

Yoshimi: Well, I guess Ringwraiths are better than a couple of assassins, but I'd prefer to have an inanimate object, like the author EchoKazul. I'll watch out for those two.

Triad Orion -- Whew! When you didn't review, I was scared that I had insulted you, since I did make you row. You got in because you asked about the passengers' aggravation because of the late send-off, but I couldn't think of anything. So, I just stuck you in for it. Yes, Babi slamming is good. It ought to be an organized sport!

White_Mage -- Sugar bad for those around the sugar-filled person. Sugar make person go crazy.

Joe: ^_^ Fwee!

Yoshimi: I rest my case.

Maxor -- uiersdfjkxfnmjvcdghdfjkasdgjdfuisdruerwjkd to you too. And, here I am, continuing!

&&&

Angry Rabble: *banging on door* Let us in!

Charlie: Hey, Yoshimi, over here!

Yoshimi: *looks over where Wilhelmina and Phil have caught two suspicious characters* AUGH!

Preed: We told you what would happen if you didn't update. *lifts gun*

Wilhelmina: *hits Preed over the head with a mallet*

Preed: X_X

Claire: Ha! You can't hurt me! I'm a ghost! *prepares to curse Yoshimi*

Phil: *begins eating garlic*

Claire: What are you doing?

Phil: Yoshimi made us brush our (non-existent) teeth, so we lost our Black Breath. However, if I eat enough garlic... *uses Garlic Black Breath*

Claire: *gasping for breath*

Wilhelmina: *herds Claire out the window*

Phil: *slings Preed out window*

Charlie: *slams window shut before Angry Reviewers can jump through window*

Angry Reviewers 3-6: *slam into window*

Yoshimi: Well, here's the update, Tolbi Scandal, Part II!

Angry Reviewers 7-10: *begin to build siege engines*

Colosso Cheat! Babi's Chosen Warrior Takes Colosso Crown TOLBI- Today, the Colosso tournament was just drawing to a close when three youths were brought in for having cheated so that the warrior Babi favoured could win.

Tolbi courts had just finished with the recent suing of Weyard Weekly for slander and the charges of drug trafficking by Tolbi's leader, but the tired court had to come out for another case. We were able to get the transcript for the case.

Judge: *yawning* All rise. All sit. Do you swear to tell the truth, blah blah-blah.

Colosso Official: I swear. These three are accused of cheating in the--

Judge: Oh, dash it all, I'm tired of these cases. We'll declare them guilty to get this over with. *raps hammer on table* *falls asleep*

Colosso Official: (?} Uh, is there any objection from the jury?

Jury: Zzzzzzzz...

[name censored]: Hey! This isn't fair!

[name censored]: We demand a retrial!

Guard: *yawning* *ushers [name censored]s out the door*

[name censored]: Stop that! Frost!

Guard: *frozen solid*

Other guards: *tie [name censored]s hand and foot* *toss [name censored]s out door*

LATE NEWS- Babi, in a show of favouritism, paid the bail for the three [name censored]s. Babi will be arrested himself shortly.

Brawl In Tolbi

TOLBI- Today, in Tolbi, there was a brawl in the marketplace between someone named Alex and Babi. When they arrived at court, this transcript went on.

Judge: I declare the *yawn* defendant guilty. *falls asleep again*

Guard: Uh, what was the cause of this, anyway?

Alex: He wants the Stone of Sages too! It's mine!

Babi: No! It's mine! My own...my preciousssss...

Alex: It's mine, I tell you! And then I will rule the world! MWAHAHAHA!

Guards: *begin to put Alex and Babi in straight jackets* *toss them in cart to be taken to the insane asylum*

Alex: The world will tremble at my feet! MWAHAHAHA!

Babi: Nooo! They steals the preciousss! Alexses, we hates them! We hates them forever!

Sneak Theif in Court

TOLBI- [name censored], the notorious sneak thief, was taken to court today after the theft of Babi's Cloak Ball. The court's transcript goes as follows...

Judge: *snore*

Palace Guard: *straining to hear* What was that?

Judge: ZzzzZZZzzZz...

Palace Guard: I swear it.

Judge: ZZZZzzz-zzzZzZZzzz...

Palace Guard: These four, three of them recently in court, were sneaking around Babi's private chambers when they were found by an old man who was looking after Babi's room.

Judge: zzZZzzzz-Zz-zZ-ZZZ-zzz-ZZzzzZz

Palace Guard: *offended* Of course we can trust him! And, if you search these four's belongings, you should find the Cloak Ball. Thus is my case.

Judge: zzzzZZZZZZZ-zzZZzZZZzzzz

Jury: ZZ-zz

Palace Guard: What is the sentence?

Judge: ZZ-z-z-ZZzzZ

Palace Guard: All right, move it out.

[name censored]: What? Did I miss something?

Judge: *waking up* Hmm? Whazat?

Agony Aunt: Auntie Dora

*writing very scrawled and messy*

Dear Auntie Dora,

This is a quick letter, and we're hoping for a quick answer. In search of Mia, we went to Altmiller Cave. We hadn't believed that it was evil, but at the moment the three of us are huddled underneath a torch while Unsure from Lama Temple, Kung Fu Fighter from Xian, A *bleep*in' Monk from Lama Temple, and Comrade of Booyakas from Internet Limbo are trying to hold off the monsters. HELP!

From Your Penp *message ends abruptly*

Dear Penpals,

I've asked for a group of guards from Tolbi to search for you. Good luck!

--Auntie Dora
