Pairings: UxY, JxA

Author's Note: As promised...they are now entering the Faire!

It was early when they gathered in the lobby of the hotel. They were all dressed in their garb. Sissi was the last to join their group and she was in a pale pink gown that trailed behind her, with as many gold necklaces she could wear without falling face first. Jeremie stood next to Aelita, wearing the outfit he'd picked out at Yumi's, Aelita was wearing a turquoise dress with white trim and a white corset with turquoise vines covering it. Odd was standing next to Aelita, proudly displaying his jester's outfit. Yumi and Ulrich stood next to him, wrapped up in black cloaks, the hoods pulled over their heads.

"You look like a pair of grim reapers," Odd hissed at them. They shrugged simultaneously and followed the crowd of students out the building and down a trail that led to the castle and faire grounds.

The grounds were actually spread outside and inside of the castle's outer defense wall. The lower merchants and artisans, displaying their goods outside, and the higher the price and quality, inside. There were stages set up every so often with shows airing every hour or two. In the center of the Faire inside the wall, there was a large circle for the dances. "Go on and have fun. We'll meet back here at the end of the Faire. No leaving the premises!" the principal called.

The students began to wander off and Odd looked at Ulrich and Yumi. "Okay, you have to show me your outfits now! It's killing me!"

"I would like to know what they look like too," Aelita said. Jeremie nodded and Ulrich glanced at Yumi.

"Should we?"

"Why not?" she replied. The moved their cloaks back so that their outfits were exposed. Yumi was wearing a long raspberry gown with sapphire trim and bell sleeves that hung halfway to the ground, and a sapphire corset with raspberry roses on it. Her hair was pinned up in two intricate braids, one on each side of her head, meeting in the center, then falling free. Sapphire colored beads and jewels glittered in it. Ulrich wore a blue shirt with raspberry trim, a dark brown vest/jerkin thing (not sure what it's called), and dark blue-black pants. He wore a raspberry and sapphire hat.

Odd stared a moment then grinned. "Aww...how adorable! You two match," he teased.

"Shut-up Odd or your going to be one very unhappy jester," Ulrich warned. Odd grinned wider and shook his foot, the bells ringing loud and clear, almost in mocking.

"I think they look good. Are you two supposed to be married?" Aelita asked curiously.

"No," they both answered quickly, blushing.

"Whatever, I think they suffered enough embarrassment from us. Come on you guys, let's look around," Jeremie said. They wandered aimlessly through the faire. Checking out the marketplaces outside the wall first. Everyone at the Faire spoke mediaeval, dressed mediaeval, and acted mediaeval.

Around noon they stopped at the food square and found a place to eat and sit. Odd had almost one of everything from the booths and was trying bits and pieces of it. "Yuck!" he said, shoving away what looked to be some sort of meat-pie with grey pudding in it. "That's horrible!"

"I never thought I'd hear him refuse food," Ulrich said in wonder.

Yumi giggled and Jeremie reached over, feeling Odd's forehead. "Feels alright to me," he said.

Odd swiped the hand away, glaring at him. "If you don't believe me, you eat it," he said venomously.

"Er, that's okay, really," Jeremie said, returning to his soup. They stayed at their table for an hour or so, just watching the people wander by. Even tourists wore costumes here. It was amazing, like stepping into a picture in their History books.

"Jeremie, I think you might've taken us a bit to far back in the past," Ulrich said after awhile.

"Ha-ha-ha. Again, not funny Ulrich," Jeremie replied. The others laughed and Jeremie sighed. "Speaking of which...here comes our favorite pink princess and her two guards," he added.

They looked up and saw Sissi stalking - er, walking - her way over to them. "Oh, Ulrich dear!" she called. She stopped about an inch away from him, grinning. "You look so dashing in that outfit," she said.

"Fortunately, I can't say the same thing about you," he responded.

Odd grinned. "Yeah, what happened? A faerie accidentally drop her wand on you?" Odd asked.

She glared at him and then turned back to Ulrich. "The dances are starting soon Ulrich and if your going to be my partner, we'd better get there quickly," she said.

"But I'm not going to be your partner. I'm going to be Yumi's partner," he replied.

Her eyes narrowed. "Is that so? Well hopefully Miss Yumi won't fall in a mud-puddle and get her dress all soiled!" she said. She turned, shoving past Nicholas and Herb, crashing into one of the tourists carrying food. The girl's chicken and potatoes splattered on Sissi's dress as she fell down into the puddle behind her.

"See Sissi! Bad Karma!" Odd called. He doubled over, laughing hysterically as she glared and stood up quickly, sending a withering look at the girl that just lost her lunch and stormed away, Herb and Nicholas hurrying to catch up to her.

"That was priceless," Ulrich said.

"Yeah, perfect Sissi idiocy," Yumi agreed.

"Even so, I can't help feeling sorry for her," Aelita said. She smiled sadly at the retreat Sissi had taken.

"Hey guys, check out Odd," Jeremie said quietly. They glanced up and smiled when they saw Odd talking to the girl, gesturing between the table they were sitting at and the direction Sissi had taken. She laughed, nodding and he grinned before walking over to them.

"Hey, I'm gonna go help Elizabeth get some more food. Figure someone has to pay for Sissi ruining her lunch. I'll meet you at the dance circle," Odd said. He walked away, not waiting for a reply and they walked off, laughing.

"Hm...I think it's time for Odd to have the talk," Ulrich joked. The others laughed, standing, and started on their way to the dance circle.

"So I'm your dance partner?" Yumi teased.

"Of course, unless you'd rather I'd ask Sissi or Emily," he replied.

"No, I'm fine with it," she replied. He nodded, smiling.

"Thought so." She hit him on the back of the head with her fan before they reached the circle.

Author's Note: Okay, so I lied...I also own Elizabeth. So there! No stealing her either! There, that's said. Now...please, please, please review! And look forward to the new fic I'm writing which will probably be posted sometime tomorrow!
