Disclaimer: Hmm…..seeing that I own a few Dragon Knights books and this Rune pin –points to pin on her shirt- I'd say I wasn't Mineko Ohkami, ne?

A/N: The beginning part is based on Social Studies today (currently the 23rd of December), and homeroom. My class is insane. And proud of it.

A few hours later (Kitchel is a real party animal….), Shian had exhausted her supply of French CD's, and was nearly done with the show tunes. She was currently on the Vanity Fair soundtrack.

Everyone was beginning to get bored.

A mysterious figure crept over to the supply of candy canes….

"Hehehe!" the figure cackled, dunking the candy canes in a bucket and taking them out….

"I'm hungry!" Thatz whined.

"You're always hungry!" Rune and Cesia shouted.

"He is, isn't he?" Rath said thoughtfully.

"Why don't you have a candy cane?" Kitchel suggested. "Hana-kusuku loves 'em!"

Hana-kusuku in question had fallen against the wall and was laughing hysterically for no reason, with a candy cane sticking out of her mouth.

"Good enough for me!" Thatz said cheerfully.

A few minutes later, just about everyone had eaten a candy cane, except for Rune and Tintlet.

Coincidentally, everyone was acting….odd. Veddy, veddy odd.

"The authoress made a typo!" Ringleys shouted.

I did not! I did that on purpose you fool!

"Oh."

It was an extremely tipsy Shian that put in a new CD, and switched to a track. "Oh-kay, everybody!" Shian squealed. "This is a little ditty about the explorer, Magician! I mean Magellan…"

And she put on "The Ballad of Magellan"

Sung by the Animanics

A.k.a cartoon characters.

Oh, there once was an explorer called something Magellan!

Shian began to do a cheerful dance, marching in place and swinging her arms back and forth. Miyabi and Hana-kusuku soon joined.

Hi, ho, oops goes Magellan!

Soon Thatz and Rath were dancing around in a circle with their arms hooked.

Actually everyone was doing some pretty weird dancing, or singing along.

Again with the exception of Rune and Tintlet.

Rune raised his eyebrows. "Okay, who spiked the candy canes?"

Tintlet snickered.

"What are you snickering about?" Rune asked in irritation.

"It was me!" Tintlet gasped, doubling over in laughter. "Oh my, I don't think I've ever seen anything so funny!"

Rune began to snicker too. "You-you spiked the candy canes? With what?"

"With-with vodka!"

Both un-drunk blondes were cracking up now, actually nearly rolling on the floor.

And then Magellan shouted "Hi-ho!" and got hit with a spear!

"Why- why'd Kitchel bring vodka?" Rune spluttered.

"I don't know!" But-but, it's too perfect!"

Now they were rolling on the floor.

All the drunk people groaned when the song ended.

"Again! Again!" Garfacky shouted from somewhere.

There was then a mass struggle to get to the CD player and replay the song. Ringleys ended up being the one, using flight to his advantage. Hana-Kusuku, Miyabi and Shian were apparently so drunk they forgot they had wings….

As the song repeated, after a while Rune and Tintlet finally made it off the floor (with much difficulty).

While they were down, somebody had started a can-can line, and now Kitchel, Thatz, Rath, Cesia, Shian, Miyabi, Lim Kanna and Nadil were trying to do a pants version of the Rockettes, and having a little trouble, with legs and arms flying everywhere. It looked fun, though.

"Shall we join?" Rune asked Tintlet.

"Of course!"

With the two extra kickers, the line was having even more trouble. Especially Nadil, in his high heels.

Two hours later…

((Alert! This is where the Lim bashing happens! If you don't like it, skip this part!))

Almost everyone had left. The people who were left were Rath, Cesia, Thatz, Kicthel, Rune, Tintlet, Lim Kanna, Nohiro and Dealte.

"So, Cesia, do you agree? Cesia?" Rath sweatdropped. She had passed out on the couch.

Meanwhile, Lim Kanna was flirting shamelessly with Rune. Needless to say, this got Tintlet a little pissed off.

"Sooo.." Lim slurred "How'z a bout choo and me get together sometime? Ya know, alooone." Lim winked and slammed her hand on the table, slipping and banging her head on the table.

A few tables away, Tintlet's eyebrow deliberately ticked.

"Uh.." Rune nervously edged away from the obviously plastered demon. "Thanks, but no thanks."

"Oh..c'mon. Don't be shy now, nobodyz gonna know." Lim said drunkenly, trying to give another wink, but giving her eye a twitch instead (think Inspector Dreyfuss of A Shot In The Dark).

Tintlet slammed her fists down, shattering twelve wine glasses. "That. Is. It!" she hissed, and stomped over there, breaking a lot of things in the process.

"YOU!" She hollered. "GET THE HELL AWAY FROM HIM YOU GARDEN TOOL!" (A/N: Volcabulary courtesy of my English class, lol))

Lim Kanna blinked, slowly wobbling in her seat. Apparently Tintlet was talking too fast. "Whaddya mean, jealous blondie?"

For Tintlet, that was the last straw.

CRACK!

Everyone left in the room (and a few people outside) turned to see the source of the noise.

Kitchel stared at the unconscious Lim on the floor. "Whoa. Never piss off Rune's girlfriend." She made a mental note to stay far, far, away from either of them when they were angry. Preferably somewhere in Arinas…

Well, the party was over. And everyone, being the nice people they were, had decided to leave the hungry cook, Cesia's weird psychology patient, and Dr. Rune to clean everything up. Doubtless to say, the three were not happy. In fact, they were extremely ticked off.

"I can't believe this!" Rune ranted as he ran around the room with the vacuum cleaner.

"Oh, believe it." Rath grumbled, sweeping the crap into piles for Rune to vacuum. "Nobody else wants to do the work, so they shove it on the last people left. I don't even work here!"

"I barely even get paid!" Rune retorted. "Would you care to actually do some work, Thatz?!"

"I am!" Thatz said indignantly from the food table.

Rune deadpanned. "Eating the leftovers does not count as helping."

"It doesn't?"

Suddenly, Rune's vaccum cleaner (which was plugged into the wall socket) stopped working.

"What the f-" And all the lights went off.

A/N: That's all for now! ducks tomatos Hey, hey, if you kill me you'll never find out what happens!

Hint: If you were in New York City last August, you might have an idea what is happening....

Reviewer responses, now.

SpinningAvia: Sadly, yes. I think we all hope it doesn't have rabies....Speaking of which (not really), when are you and Flying-Cesia gonna update Phys Ed? If I put in a plug for it here, will you update?

Yokai no Miko: As I said, the Legolas refrences were based on a real thing with me and Thatz (seriously her pen name). After it happened, I decided to throw that in. But seriously, I keep saying that Legolas DOES look girly! I got my octopus thing from the movie "The Man Who Came To Dinner". But I am indeed a Tako fan, thanks to Maia (RandoMaia).

RathIlluser-012: Thanks! Gaa! Silly string! -hides behind Raseleane-

ShadowDown: Thank you, thank you!

aquajogger: Eeep! I'm really sorry. But I have a future Thatchel chapter planned, and the epilogue will be enjoyed by fans of Thatchel, R/C, and RuneTintlet alike! Hmmm...and then there's that little Dracula plotline that keeps threatining to invade..

Terra89: I was going to upload this morning, but my evil brother wouldn't let me on....stupidhead control freak...-mutters darkly-

Azuki-Onigiris: My friends liked that part too!

loser with a llama: Oooh. Llamas. I strive for randomness! Hmm, perhaps a consultation with my friend, the queen of random, the almighty RandoMaia, is in order...
Who's grey heaven?

Now for a shamless plug.

If you like humor, read SpinningAvia (and co-written by Flying-Cesia)'s Phys Ed! It's really funny!

-gets bonked by an Avril god for making such a lame plug-

Thanks to the readers of Mayday!
