Author's Note: My annoying alter ego in the [brackets] is back with a vengence and she is causing my characters much grief, so you are forewarned. But good news: this is the last chapter of the second disk! =yay=

Disclaimer: Yes you guessed it...I don't own LoD

Chapter 22: PAR-TAY!

All: What?

[Party]

All: Oh...

(Back to Fueno and back on the Queen Fury)

Readers: *boo*

Skip: *deep breath* I love the sea, don't you, Ricky?

Ricky: Let's not start that again....

Wesley: Uh, Commodore? We need another boat ride --

Skip: A woman of the sea is not concerned with such trivial pursuits! Hey, that's a really cool game -- LET'S PLAY TRIVIAL PURSUIT!!!

Me: Let's not and say we didn't

Wesley: Let's say we go to Fletz, and then really go to Fletz!

Skip: I said a woman of the sea -- oh, Fletz? Well, um, okay....hey, Wesley! Have you ever thought of becoming a woman of the sea? I mean, man of the sea, I mean....

Me: No, I think woman of the sea works

Nikole: Then what does that say about you, since you dated him? And me, since I dated him too?! Wesley, is there something you should tell us?

Wesley: No!

Timoty: How bout transvestite of the sea?

Wesley: You're not helping!

Ricky: Let's just get them on board...ready to go?

All: Yes

Skip: YAY! Another adventure! Casting off...

(Again, we are on the Queen Fury....how about seeing what the kids are up to?)

Ania: I don't understand, why do you two want me hooking up with Wesley anyway?

Nikole: Well, we figured since we already dated him, it's just fair to share him with you

Me: Yeah, like that guy with the Nova...well, except I haven't dated him yet, so I guess that doesn't count....okay, another thing to add to my to- do list

Ania: I still dunno how I feel about getting "leftovers" -- especially YOURS

Me: You're so funny! *Pushes her*

Ania: Ow!

Leroy: CAT FIGHT! MEOW, HISS! *Cough* I mean...argh?

Guys: Nice going

Boberto: Next time, we send ME to eavesdrop

Girls: GO AWAY! *Throws shoes at the guys*

(Alrighty then.....we finally arrive in Donau)

Wesley: I said Fletz!

Skip: What do you want me to do? Sail my ship ON LAND?! Geez louise.... now, if you excuse me I must be off! A woman of the sea cannot stand the sight of land for too long! *Singing* Yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me...

Wesley: Quickly! Someone restrain her!

Boberto: *covers my mouth, preventing me from joining in the singing*

Me: *licks Boberto's hand*

Boberto: EWWWWW!!!! She licked me!!!

Me: *evil smile*

(We travel through the Barrens AGAIN)

All: Dammit!

(Until we reach our final destination of Fletz. Just as we were about to enter the items shop, we noticed Princess Andrea address her adoring public once again)

Townsperson 1: *gasp* It's Princess Andrea!

Townsperson 2: The REAL one!? Oh my god!

Andrea: I've heard that for six months, someone has been impersonating me and creating a variety of social mishaps....I just want to apologize for what that woman did.

Townspeople: It's not your fault, Princess! Don't blame yourself! We love you, Andrea!

Andrea: ^_^

Boberto: *sigh*

Wesley: Swoon later

(Back into the Castle, much to the dismay of our friend, the gatekeeper)

Officer: *death glare*

All: *cheerful wave*

(Back into the Chamber of the Sun, to visit King Leif, Alona, and Andrea once again)

All: *bows*

Leif: Nevermind the formalities! You are our honored guests! Not only did you drive out the Eastsiders, you also vanquished the Sea Dragon in Illisa Bay!

Wesley: But we didn't get back the Moon Dagger....

Leif: Who cares? It's just a stupid little memento.

Wesley: Then why did you send us off to Illisa Bay to retrieve it if it was just a "stupid little memento"?!

Leif: You kids just looked so eager to go get it, what else would you have me do?

All: *smacks foreheads*

Leif: Um....how bout a banquet?

Nikole: Is that the same as a party?

Leif: Yes

Nikole: WOHOO! PAR-TAY!!

All: What?

Nikole: Party.

All: Oh

[Just said that!]

Leif: Go and enjoy yourselves, while my staff prepares the banquet!

All: YAY! *Runs out of the throne room*

Boberto: Uh...there's something I need to do, so yeah I'll see you guys at the party

Wesley: What?

Leroy: Me too

Timoty and Nikole: Us too

Wesley: Where are you guys going?

Me: We're doing you a favor, Wesley...don't worry, you'll thank us later *wink wink nudge nudge*

(The five of us left, leaving Wesley and Ania all by themselves)

~ ~ ~

(Standing on the bridge connecting the Towers of the Moon and Stars, Wesley and Ania profess their undying love to each other)

*Cricket chirps*

Wesley: Good thing Tina's not within earshot

Me: *from all the way across the castle* DAMN THE CRICKETS!!

(Or maybe not...)

[C'mon!! Pleeeeeease, just SAY you love each other, you don't hafta mean it!]

Wesley and Ania: NO

[You must! Or else the story won't progress properly!]

Wesley and Ania: We don't care

[And if it doesn't progress properly then you don't go home!]

Wesley: You're bluffing!

[Don't test me! I got seven full-grown Dragoons who are perfectly content just sitting around the Bale inn getting drunk and watching you losers play out their lives supporting me!]

Dart: Just as long as you don't involve us in the story directly....I said NO INVOLVEMENT!

Wesley: Fine, I love you Ania!

[No no no...SHE'S gotta say it first]

Ania: *through gritted teeth* I love you Wesley

[Aww, say it like ya mean it]

Ania: You said I didn't hafta mean it!

[Haven't you ever heard of acting?]

Ania: *growls* Okay, but you hafta go away first!

[Fine, I'm leaving *leaves*]

Ania: Thank you....anyway....*ahem* Wesley, I love you

Wesley: Really?

Ania: No, I'm just playing along

Wesley: Alright then...

Ania: Let me continue with my sappy speech! I've loved you since the day we met (in Seles), and even when you went away, I loved you even more

Wesley: You coulda fooled me

Ania: Shh! No interuptions......wait, that was it. Yup, that's the end of my love confession.

Wesley: Oh....would you like me to respond?

Ania: Well that would be nice!

Wesley: Um...I love you too?

Ania: That works

[*sniff* It's so beautiful....]

Ania: I thought you left!

[I'm omnipresent, I can't leave -- I can only be silent for a while]

Lady's Maid: Psst, hey! Are they almost kissing yet?

Wesley and Ania: That's pushing it!

Lady's Maid: Oh, well then I might as well tell you now (since I can't interupt you kissing) that I want you to gather everyone up and then bring all the girls so I can get them fitted for their dresses

Ania: I *twitch* don't wear *twitch* dresses

Lady's Maid: Um, yeah, that's it *leaves*

Wesley: I have a feeling that someone else is gunna come and try to interupt us again....

[Aren't you perceptive]

Binchenzo: Hey, guys! Wesley, why the sour look?

Wesley: I'm not sour...

Binchenzo: Oh, that's just the way you normally look...nevermind then....but, yeah, the party's starting so you two need to find the rest and go to the Chamber of the Sun

Wesley: We know, we're going

Binchenzo: Yes, always a pleasure...stupid white people...*leaves*

(The search for the five Dragoons is on! Oh, won't this be fun)

~ ~ ~

(In the guest bedroom....)

Me: *leaning against a bed post, Rose-style* {I'm a hero....he would laugh at me... but I would have to laugh at him first because he's dead and I'm not, haha. Wow, that was mean....} *smile* {Oh my god, a sincere smile! I haven't done that since I got this Choker} *holds up the choker, then puts it back on* {Well, that's a lie....}

*Enter Wesley*

Wesley: Hey

Me: Hey, what brings you in here? Don't tell me you got tired of Ania already

Ania: No! Who would grow bored with this? *pops her hip*

Me and Wesley: .... no comment

Ania: X-P

Wesley: Anyway, the party's starting

Me: Oh, fun.

~ ~ ~

(As we pass the kitchen)

Cook: Out, out, OUT!! *Shoves Nikole and Timoty out of the kitchen*

Nikole: Ahh, c'mon, we just want a sample!

Timoty: Not even a big one, just like a little one!

Wesley: You guys can eat all you want at the party

Nikole: Oooh, PAR-TAY!!

All: What?

Nikole: Omg, we've said that three times now and you STILL dunno what it is?!

All: No.

Nikole: If I need to explain, then it's not worth explaining....

~ ~ ~

(Up in Andrea's room)

Andrea: Wow, all your adventures sound soooo exciting! And dangerous too, how can you not have any fear?

Boberto: It was nothing....*slicks back his hair* Ya know, it was me who defeated the Sea Dragon....the others, they just kinda helped me out

Andrea: Wow....

Wesley: Oh, are you naive

Boberto: Wesley!? Uh, what are you guys doing here?!

Me: Ooooh, Boberto, you stud! Maybe you could get pointers from him, Wesley.

Wesley: Shut up, I got my bases covered

Nikole: Haha, too bad you didn't get past first base with the two of us *refers to me*!! *Cracks up laughing*....ah, I kill myself...

Wesley: If only -- *covers his face* just kidding, don't hurt me!

Boberto: Is there a REASON you guys came here?!

Wesley: Yes, to tell you the party's starting

Boberto: Oh. Okay

Andrea: When will I see you again?

Boberto: *takes her hand* When the stars fill the sky and the Moon That Never Sets smiles upon us

Wesley: You could just say "tonight at the party!"

Timoty: *dragging Boberto out of the room by his cape* Excuse me Andrea, while I go and beat your Romeo senseless

~ ~ ~

(Finally, in the training area in the basement)

Leroy: *swinging his axe around* {Leroy} *swing* {has} *swing* {friends....but, they've always been Leroy's friends! That make no sense....}

Wesley: Leroy?

Leroy: *swings his axe around and nearly hits Wesley* Don't do that

Wesley: I was gunna say the same thing! By the way, the party's starting

Leroy: PAR-TAY!!

Nikole: HAH! At least SOMEBODY is intelligent enough to figure out what "party" is expanded! High five, big guy! *Holds up her hand*

Leroy: Uh....no...

Nikole: X-P

Lady's Maid: Ah, I see you have all the ladies with you! Let's bring you back here and get you changed into your dresses!

Me: None for me, thank you...I feel naked without my sword

[The second best line in the game!]

Nikole: No dress for me! I can't dance in those stuffy things! Plus, I've just gotten used to wearing this outfit, I think if I change into something less revealing then I'll freeze my buns off again

All: Too much information

Lady's Maid: That just leaves you, Ania

Ania: I don't wear dresses EVER!

Me: Not even for a fancy party? Or someone's Confirmation...I won't name names *coughMINEcough*

Ania: Oh get over it

Wesley: C'mon Ania, just play along...

Ania: No!

Me: *whispers to Nikole* On the count of three, we bolt....one, two, three *bolts with Nikole*

Lady's Maid: Now you have no choice

Ania: Noooooooooooooooooo!!

~ ~ ~

(Somehow, Wesley is stranded in the middle of the party)

Wesley: How did they get separated from me so fast?

Timoty: Hey Wesley! *Slaps him on the back*

Wesley: Ow! *Rubs his back*

Timoty: Man, this punch ROCKS!! *Raises his glass* You really should try some....oh, lookie lookie

(Two women, one in a red dress and one in a blue dress, approach the two Dragoons)

Woman in Blue Dress: Oh my! It's Mr Wesley!

Woman in Red Dress: We have heard soooo much about you!

Blue Dress: Oh, don't be so fresh with him, I spotted him first!

Red Dress: No you didn't!

Blue Dress: Yes I did! *Rips off the other woman's necklace*

(And a real catfight insues -- hair pulling, clothes tearing, the whole works. Yet, no one but Wesley and Timoty notice)

Wesley: Shouldn't we stop them?

Timoty: Hell no! Hey, Leroy! Check it out!

(Leroy whips around from the banquet table to see what Timoty wanted him to "check out." Food spewed from his arms as he did so)

Leroy: *food dribbling from his mouth* CAT FIGHT! MEOW, HISS!

Wesley: You might be a little late with that....seriously, Timoty, do something!

Timoty: *sigh* Fine...hey, ladies! Why don't we take this outside

Women: Huh? Okay *attaches to both of Timoty's arms, and disappear with him*

Wesley: Damn, we're never gunna be able to come back here....oh, hey Leroy!

Leroy: *still stuffing his face at the buffet*

Wesley: Um...have you seen Ania?

Leroy: No.....hey, where be fighting ladies?

Wesley: They went outside with Timoty

Leroy: Little bitch....TIMOTY!! SHARE THE BOOTY!! *Leaves*

Wesley: I -- but -- no comment...

(He doesn't have much luck with Nikole, either)

Nikole: This party BLOWS! You need to get some REAL dance music up in here! Hey, Wesley, you wanna dance?! *Shakes her hips and does other various pelvic thrusts in his direction*

Wesley: I...don't dance

Nikole: You're just like all the other snooty guys in here! Phooey!

Wesley: Well, have you seen Ania?

Nikole: No, I've been too busy trying to get a train going! Hey, Boberto! Let's dance! *Shakes the big bow on her ass*

Boberto: Busy here! *Turns back to Andrea* So, where were we?

Andrea: You were telling me about how you broke out of Hellena Prison and rescued Wesley, Ania, Tina, and Timoty

Boberto: Oh yes, I remember....so, Swaim was about to pound Wesley into a bloody pulp --

Wesley: Have you seen Ania?

Boberto: No. Now go away.

Wesley: Fine -- and I was the one who saved Boberto from prison, Andrea!

Lady's Maid: Mr. Wesley! Miss Tina requests a word out on the balcony

Wesley: Oh joy, what is she gunna say? Will she insult my dancing moves?

Nikole: But you have no moves, Wesley!

Wesley: I know! *Walks out onto the balcony* What do you want?

Me: *examines my fingernails* That's very rude of you

Wesley: Well exCUSE me

Me: I meant about her -- you just gunna let her stand out here all night? She'll catch her death of cold! And I thought you loved her...

Wesley: Wha? Oh....

(He finally found Ania, pouting in a blue dress)

Wesley: Oh Ania you look.....nice....

Ania: Stop trying to compliment me, it's not working. Let's just get this disk over with.

[You know what that implies?]

Ania: *groan* Oh look, a falling star

Wesley: That's....nice?

[Now kiss her!]

Wesley: What?!

[Ya, you heard me!]

All the other Dragoons [who have now joined me on the balcony]: *chants* Do it, do it, do it, do it!

Wesley: *stands there awkwardly, then quickly kisses Ania on the cheek*

Nikole: That SUCKED!

Boberto: Tongue! We want tongue!

Timoty: But...them?! Why?!

Boberto: Okay, so who won that bet?

Me: We didn't bet on that, Boberto

Boberto: Wha?! We didn't bet on it?! But -- why?!

Leroy: One bet at a time

Boberto: Noooooo!

Nikole: See, he really does have a problem

Me: You might as well just give me your money, Boberto, you woulda lost to me anyway

Boberto: How do you know?

Me: I'm the Almighty Author -- I'm all-knowing

Boberto: But -- you -- I -- oh, here! *Reluctantly hands me $5*

Me: *does the Charleston* I'm in the money! I'm in the money!

Ania: *sigh* It's just not fair....

*Please insert disk three....please wait....*
