Author's Note: The first chapter was all my original ideas, but now Sailormoonhannah is going to be helping me out a little bit, since I suck at continuing stories. This chapter is going to have the first appearance of a character from Faerie's Landing.

Disclaimer: Iris, Mai, Jack, and Aura belong to me. I Dont Own Faerie's Landing though.


Chapter 2 "Manga Party! Manga Party! Manga Party! YAY!" sings Jack.

"Calm down or we're not letting you come," exasperated Aura mutters.

"Awww don't be mean to Jack," whines Mai.

"He's just all spazzed out about Faerie's Landing. Number 8 being released into the english-speaking world is a big deal for him. You know how he is with Pain..." Iris scolds.

Eyes roll, heads drop, and if this was a cartoon there would be sweat drops.

"After school, parking lot, be there or be square." Iris commands.

"Yes master," everyone responds sarcastically.

"All hail Lady Iris!" Jack says with enthusiasm, pretending to worship Iris.

"I mean it. I'm giving you guys 15 minutes after last bell, and then I'm going to Tokyokid whether you're in my car or not." Says Iris sternly.

"We know the drill by now." Aura tells Iris.

"Yeah, every time a new manga come out we go through the exact same thing." Mai adds.

When the bell rings to signal the start of first period, Iris, Mai, Jack, and Aura cut their conversation short, and rush to class.


None of the four friends pay attention in class, their minds are on the party that night.

The day drags on, and finally, the last bell rings and school is officially over for the week. Students hurry to their lockers. Some, like our four, are rushing to meet their friends. Others, need to get to their after school jobs.

Iris is waiting at her green minivan, looking at her watch.

"One more minute and I was going to leave without you," she scolds.

"You know that we'd chop you up, cook you in pies, and feed you to our pets, if you leave us here." Mai warns, giggling.

"Haha very funny." replies Iris.

"What are we waiting for! Let's GO!" Jack impatiently says.

"Yes. Let's go." agrees Aura.

The four friends pile in Iris's car, and the CD player starts to play a mix of Japanese pop music and theme songs that Jack pirated from the Internet.

When they arrive at Tokyokid, Iris gets the manga while everyone else looks around.

Aura looks at the CDs, Mai at the manga, Iris looks at the figurines, and Jack dives into the posters.

After half an hour of searching, the friends are ready to go and purchess their items and leave.

"So what did everybody get?" Jack asks. "I got two new posters!"

"I bought the manga, a Chobits figurine, and a Kyo pin." Iris says.

"The soundtrack to the fifth season of Sailor moon. The Starlites' music was interesting." Aura tells Jack.

"I bought the first two 'Steel Angel Kurumi' and the DVDs for the first season. I know the second season sucks, but I've heard that the first one was really good." says Mai.


They talk as Iris dives back to her house to start the party. When they arrive, Mai asks what type of pizza everyone wants her to order.

"Hawaiian." demands Aura.

"Black olives with pepperoni, and extra cheese!" Jack sings.

"Cheese please." Iris asks.

"And I'll steal some from you guys." Mai says.

Mai calls a local pizza place, and orders three large pizzas as well as a 4 large bottles of soda, sprite, coke, diet coke, and orange soda.

"Okay everyone. Its $38 including tip," Mai informs her friends, "that's $9.50 each."

Everyone groans and digs in their pockets or backpacks for the cash.

They wait for the pizza and talk about what they think is going to happen. Once the pizza arrives, everyone grabs plates, napkins, and cups and heads upstairs to begin the party.

But they first have to set everything up. Aura lights about two-dozen candles while Jack pulls down the shades. Mai arranges most of the lit candles in the middle of the room with a few around the edges and sets about 20 pillows around them on the floor.

Once everyone is finished setting up they quietly sit down and Iris passes each friend two of the 8 manga.

"Its Aura's turn, so she gets # 7 and 8. Mai, you have 5 and 6. Jack, you have numbers 3 and 4 and I have the first two." She reminds them.

"But what about me?" a new voice asks

Everyone jumps and looks around. Sitting on Iris's bed is a Tall, handsome man. He has a kind, happy face, and spiky black hair with a small ponytail in back. He's wearing earrings that look like a mix between flower petals and guitar picks. He has a bracelet of the same design. But the first thing you notice is that he's wearing large goggles that are pushed up onto his head.

"Hey," He says, smirking and taking a brief glance at the manga. "I'm Pain. Looks like you already know a little bit about me."

Jack faints.
