stage)
Viper: Dun dun duuuun! We're back! With yet another new chapter!
Kari: And Lash the Wind Adept, you can stop poking Shadow now. The Queen has arrived!
(Curtains slide open to reveal Sheba sitting on a throne, waving a scepter. Confetti starts pouring down and invisible people start cheering)
Sheba: Yes! All bow to your Queen! *invisible people cheer harder*
Kari + Viper: NOT YOU! *throw the throne off stage with a screeching Sheba still on it*
(Shadow stands behind the throne, with no cheering, no confetti, and no scepter)
Shadow: I'm back...with no festivites because a certain little annoyance wasted them.
Sheba: *walks back rubbing her butt* I swear, one more crack and I'll--
Shadow: Oh, go make out with Ivan and leave me alone for once.
Sheba: Grrrr...for your information I just finished doing that!
Everyone: 0_o
Sheba: *blushes* I've said too much again.
Kari: Shadow doesn't own any of this, or us. She doesn't even own food for heaven's sake!
Shadow: All donations will be accepted at: 1-800- Thisisamadeupnumbersodon'tcallitokay?
Viper: Back to Mia's killing spree!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My goodness, none of these Adepts can be trusted to be alone, can they? Mia is about to kill Jenna, Isaac is racing to stop it. Ivan just finished finally going to the bathroom, after Sheba came out. Felix isn't stopping his sister's demise because he's currently curled up in the fetal position, unconsicous, muttering something about "dirty little Wind Adepts stealing other people's true loves.." in his twisted little mind. Ho-hum, how typical.
******
The dagger fell, closer and closer to its final destination, a wicked grin lighting itself on Mia's face, a look of sheer terror on Jenna's. Making its graceful fall, the dagger plunged itself into Jenna's shoulder, an inch above where her heart should have been. It continued, until--
Until a large fist closed around the hand holding the dagger.
"Mia. You need to stop it, now." Isaac said.
Mia gave a final look of disgust to Jenna before pulling the bloody dagger out, and throwing it across the room, where it lodged a foot away from Kraden, who had been trying to sneak back in. With an "Eeep!" of terror, he ducked back out.
"For your sake, not hers, I shall stop."
"Heal her. Now, Mia." Isaac told her in a flat, commanding voice.
She had never heard this voice in Isaac. Well, actually, she had never heard his voice until recently, like about one month ago. So she did as he commanded, the bright blue light of her Psynergy surrounding her and pouring itself into Jenna.
"Hmph. Know that I did it for Isaac. If not for him, you'd be dead right now." Mia gave a haughty toss of her hair before flouncing back to her seat.
******
"No! I wanted blood!" Garet moaned from somewhere behind Ivan.
"Ha! I get all the money because nobody died or won!" Sheba said. Nimble as a cat, she scooped all of the coins into her shirt and bolted away.
"Hey! My money!" said Ivan and Garet at the same time. They began to chase after Sheba, throwing curses and insults at her all the way.
******
Meanwhile, Isaac was busy trying to help Jenna up. She didn't seem to want to go within fifty feet of Mia for....certain recent events that took place.
"Come on, up you get!" Isaac said, trying to heave Jenna's deadweight up off the floor.
"I don't want to go near her again, Isaac."
"I'll protect you, okay? Please, I want to finish before I grow a...."
A small patch of blond fuzz appeared on Isaac's chin.
"Beard! Yuck, get it off!" Isaac dropped Jenna rudely back down and rushed off to the amazing bathroom to shave the offending hair away.
"Yay! All clean! Please come on. I'll threaten to dump her if she touches you." Isaac told her when he walked back.
With that, Jenna finally allowed Isaac to help her to her chair, pointedly ignoring the scathing death glares that Mia sent her way.
******
"Uhhh...what just happened?" Felix said groggily.
"Well, I finally went to the bathroom, Sheba stole all our money, and Mia nearly killed Jenna." Ivan told him.
"WHATT?!?"
"Oh, no..."
"Mia!!!"
So began yet another amusing scene, with Felix trying to grab Mia, Isaac trying to fend him off, and Mia grabbing onto Isaac and smirking at Jenna.
"Can't you see this constant fighting is tearing us all apart!" Piers yelled.
Everyone turned to stare at him.
"...What?"
******
Felix had finally given up trying to injure Mia, and went back to trying to finish the show.
"Okay....well, in any case, our next speaker is...'Piers-the good fighter who doesn't tell us his age.' Good Luna, Garet, must you be so dumb?"
"Uh, yes!" Garet said, not listening to Felix.
"Typical..."
Piers bounded up to the stage.
"Well, my favorite time on the whole trip was..."
Isaac stifled a yawn. This had seemed like a good idea at first, but it was quickly getting old to him, what with all the constant fighting over him. He silently stood up and walked outside for a bit of fresh air. Ivan noticed him go, but decided not to say anything until he got back, to embarrass him.
Everyone was engrossed in Piers' long-winded speech, so no one noticed Jenna follow Isaac out.
******
Isaac leaned back, feeling the cool breeze blow across his face.
"Isaac?"
He didn't turn around, knowing full well who it was. "Hey, Jenna."
She came and sat down next to him. "This...has probably been the most terrifying night of my life."
"Yes, definetly mine too." Isaac replied.
"But why? You didn't nearly get killed by your best friend's girlfriend who is screwed up in the head."
"Well, it has to do with the fact that you two are willing to fight to the death, I learned that Kraden REALLY needs some mental help, and that Mia is even crazier than Kraden."
"Mmm..." Jenna said thoughtfully.
"Hey, why'd you follow me out here?" Isaac asked.
"Uhh..." Jenna grabbed a stray strand of hair and began twisting it around her finger. "I kinda...wanted to talk I guess."
"Well, let's talk."
******
By now, Mia was also getting bored with Piers's speech about how he fought and killed an Assassin on the road.
"Hmm...." she said thoughtfully. "I do believe it's time to go sit on Isaac's lap and glare at Jenna...Ha!"
Glancing around, she saw Piers bashing an unwilling Garet over the head, Felix quietly asleep in his chair, most of the town asleep as well, Ivan and Sheba doing things in a corner, yet she did not spot Isaac...or for that matter Jenna. Then she noticed the open door.
"He wouldn't!" Mia growled. "And she wouldn't dare!"
Not bothering to be quiet, she kicked over her chair and stormed off into the night.
******
"...Really? Wow, I never knew that you nearly died after Colosso,"Jenna said to Isaac.
"It's true, you know," came the deadly quiet voice from behind them. "I, as in, me not you, healed him after that."
They jumped, and turned to see Mia wearing her gorilla-face again.
"Why, dare I ask, are you with my Isaac?" she asked in that same deadly quiet voice.
"Because, I want her to be!" Isaac told her.
"And you would rather be with her, this...slut, rather than with me!?!"
"Yes! Because she's not as crazy as you are! She doesn't care that I hang around with my best friends! She doesn't want to kill to get rid of someone! ...well yes she did. But that's beyond the point!" Isaac yelled, anger veins popping out of his head.
"Hmph! Well, then you can be with her for all I care!"
"Good! Because you and I are through!"
This made Mia pale. "Wh-what? No, I didn't mean it! Please let's go back in, I won't do anything, I promise!" She was nearly hysterical by now, throwing herself to the ground before Isaac.
"I meant every word." Isaac said in a dead tone.
Mia looked at him through glistening eyes, then turned and ran into the forest. Well, first she tripped over a bush, fell into a tree, and rolled over a patch of pricklers. Then she ran into the forest, healing herself as she went.
Sheba poked her head out the door. "...Is she gone?"
"Yes," Jenna told her.
"Great! You two played your parts well." Sheba handed them a bag full of Ivan and Garet's money. "Now if you could just get Felix to stop crushing on me, there's even more for you."
"Tell us what to do."
******
"...And that was how I heroically defeated the evil fox cub baby." Piers was still going on, oblivious to the fact that everyone was by now in a deep, deep sleep. "And let me tell you how I destroyed the Evil Pinwheel of Death..."
"Good Luna! How long can he go on???" Isaac asked himself. "Ivan? Ivan, are you awake?" When he recieved no responce he said, "Fine. Be that way."
Isaac took a huge megahorn and shouted right into Ivan's ear. He jumped up immediately, but Piers continued and everyone else was still in the coma state.
"I'm awake...from an extremely good dream too...What do you want?" Ivan asked, with a hint of annoyance.
"Put him to sleep for me, please."
"Oh!" Ivan exclaimed. "Why didn't I think of that?" He chanted a few words and pointed at Piers. Instantly, a large herd of sheep poured from his finger and trampled Piers into the ground.
"But I was..getting to....the good part..." Piers managed to choke out before he fell asleep.
"Ah excellent. Do ya wanna wake everyone else up and play strip poker until the rest of the town wakes up?"
"A good idea Isaac. A good idea."

Shadow: ...you know, I just thought of something.
Sheba: Did you strain yourself?
Shadow: Quite the comedian, aren't you?
Kari: How funny! *coughs* NOT.
Viper: I have no comment.
Shadow: I realized there is little to no humor in these last few chapters.
Sheba: Good! Then let's stop right here! I'll go pack our bags and--
Shadow: I'm trying to broaden my horizons, I guess. So I won't stop unless I get no reviews.
Viper: *coughs* That was a request for reviews, you know.
Shadow: And now I bid you all adidu, as I must get to sleep, because I am not on Spring Break yet. *cries*
Sheba: *walks to door* I'm going to New Orleans for a little bit, so don't worry!
Kari: Oh, don't worry. We won't.
