Why do I always have so much to say and yet forget to say most of it? One of life's unsolvable mysteries I suppose.
Anyways, here's what happened to GT!
Me: Oh, good. You're here.
GT: Please save me from this scary woman!
Me: That's rude!
GT: But I recited pi! Let me go!
Me: Did you say you wanted some pie?
(GT is covered in pumpkin pie)
Me: *Singing* 3.1415926535897932384626...
GT: No! Stop! You are terrible at singing!
Me: Just for that, I'm going to make you memorize at least 100 digits.
GT: AHHHHH! A pi nerd!
Me: I'm not the one covered in pie!
GT: But you did this to me!
Me: *Cackles* I know.
GT: Do you have any logical friends to save me?
Me: Not really, but I have siblings!
GT: There's more of you, oh gosh, help me!
Me: You're not getting away from learning pi!
One hour later.
GT: *half asleep* 3.14159 something, something, something.
Me: Something is not a number!
GT: *snores*
Me: WAKE UP!
GT: Ahh stranger danger!
Me: How rude! I'm sending you back!
GT: Finally!
*the next scene includes GT getting covered in Custard Bursts for the second time*
GT: I was right. Fans are worse than inmates!
Me: I'm sorry I took too long, this is fun!
GT: Not for me! Math is hard!
Me: We need to give you some manners. Are you up for another round of pi?
GT: No, please! I'll do anything!
Me: Well, since you said please... *Puts GT into an envelope and sends him back to IStillHopeForSophex*
Me: BYEEE!
Thank you Mythicalis4real!
(The doorbell rings in the sophexcave)
Me: Ooh! My guided missile is finally here! Now, where did I put the address for the Simon and Schuster Office For Ending of Book Series? (opens package and finds GT asleep)
Me: These missiles are getting very strange these days. (Puts GT into rocket launcher, and covers him with mallowmelt.)
Me: There's never an excuse not to coat something in mallowmelt.
(The address for the office falls off the table and the author reaches for an address labeled "Side Character Daycare")
Me: (Puts address into system) KOTLC will never end! MUAHAHAHAHA! (presses launch button)
GT: (wakes up) Where am- AHHHHHHHHH! (Soaring through the air)
GT: (Crashes into daycare center) Wait, hold on. This is the daycare center! NO! NO! NO! (Crowd notices tattoo of a pie with PI on it on his forehead)
Crowd: FOOD!
GT: Have mercy on me please! I'll do anything!
Me:(Appears out of thin air) Anything you say? Well, welcome to the lost cities favorite gameshow, come on, say it with me!
Crowd: LET'S
Crowd: KISS
Crowd: STINA!
(confetti and balloons with Stina's face on them suddenly appear)
GT: (gulps)
To be continued... in the next chapter! I know, I am evil incarnate.
So, time for my ranting!
Where to start?
So, first of all THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! People commented! And I was unable to procrastinate the chapter at the last minute because I promised teasers and I was forced to (shudders) write early. I will consider giving out teasers this time, (this will be highly influenced by how many people comment, more comments mean I'm more likely to give out teasers), but no promises, I need to see how the chapter turns out. So it'll be a pleasant surprise! Or not... Seriously, comment. The fate of Belize is in your hands.
Now, time for com- Oh wait. I already responded to them through PM when I sent the commenters their teasers, who all had accounts, so I have no guest comments to respond to up here(makes sad face).
Time for a very important announcement. I have TONS of ideas for fanfics and I need to get most of them out/finish before book 9 before any big changes happen(especially wanderling). So, I am going to do several things that you consider as good news and I consider as mallowmelt:
A. I will update wanderling faster.
B. I will start writing my new fics very soon, and write them very fast.
C. I also need to work on my own original sci-fi novel because multiple people (online and otherwise) have told me I should write a book. FYI, it's not past the plot staging yet but at least it's progress.
D. Okay, I'm just going to sorta continue with my rant in this style. It's fun.
E. WHEEEEEEEEEEEE!
F. For some reason I've gotten into the habit of writing the words "Keep Writing!" at the end of my reviews. I don't know why.
G(Which stands for Grady Growling at the Gorgodon™). Now, on with the story!
Seven
It was almost sunset when Sophie made it back to Havenfield. She was a mess, patches of sticky tar stuck to her, with clumps of feathers attached to her dress. Grady immediately noticed her and ran towards her.
He examined her. "What did you get yourself into this time?"
"Nothing." Sophie replied quickly.
Wow, totally unsuspicious. You know, you could've just said "I did something that I don't want you to know about." and that would have the same effect.
It's frightening how much we're agreeing these days.
Indeed.
Grady sniffed her. "Cologne! You've been with a boy, haven't you?"
Sophie simply tried not to look guilty.
Grady took out a chart with the personal information of every boy and girl in the lost cities, labeled Potential Sources of Trouble For Sophie (Otherwise known as boy/girlfriends), and navigated to the section that was labeled "Cologne".
"Let me see, it's not Mr. Fedora's Yeti Pee Spectacular Cologne, so you haven't been with that boy. And it's not Technopath Tang, so you haven't been with Dex. It's not The Bottled Screams of Tortured Souls: Extra Shadowvapor Edition, so you haven't been with Tam. It's definitely not Flasher Fragrance, so you haven't been with Wylie."
Grady kept going until he found a match.
"It's not Phaser Pheromone: Now with two times the attracting power, so not Jensi. But wait a minute," Grady eyes gleamed maliciously. "We have a match for Eau de Chandelier, registered to a Mr. Fitzroy Avery Vacker."
Sophie was seriously considering summoning Silveny so she could ride away and hide out for the next decade somewhere far, far away, when she was saved by Edaline.
"Dinner's ready! Come on in or it's going to get cold!"
Sophie and Grady rushed in, neither of them risking missing a chance to eat one of Edaline's famous elaborate home-cooked dinners.
While they were devouring a rainbow plant that resembled a ceiling fan and tasted like a hot dog, Grady causally announced the news to the Edaline.
"Sophie was with a boy today."
Edaline made a sound not unlike the one Biana made.
"Really? Who? Did you kiss?"
"They better have not kissed." snarled Grady, caressing his boy-bat.
Sophie didn't think she could be any redder. "It was Fitz. And we didn't kiss."
Edaline looked surprised. "Really? Even after he-"
Grady looked curious. "What did he do?"
Edaline and Sophie both looked at each other, both fearing for Fitz's life.
"Nothing." they hastily replied.
As Sophie finished up her dinner, she saw Iggy scampering around outside, then disappearing into the distance. Grady spotted the concerned look on her face. "Don't worry, imps come and go as they please, like people. They have a whole other life than being pets or extreme annoyances. He'll be fine."
Sophie went outside to check on him anyways. She found him by the gorgodon enclosure, playing in the poop as usual. As she watched him play, she could've sworn she heard her heart or mind saying the words Keefe is the best. Keefe-
That isn't us.
Check behind you.
Sophie turned around to see none other than the triplets whispering behind her.
"Keefe is better than Fitz. You should date him instead of-"
The triplets noticed her. "Nuts, she's spotted us. Run! Run!"
The triplets ran into the gorgodon poop, disappearing into its murkiness. As Sophie watched them frolic in the fountain of feces, Wynn and Luna suddenly got in on the mix, jumping into the poop. Sophie sighed. Their mother was not going to like that.
Silveny! Your kids are playing in poop!
Poop party? Coming!
Wait, what?
Much to Sophie's surprise, Silveny and Greyfell came soaring down from the heavens, and promptly started playing in the poop, alongside an elated Iggy, Rex, Bex, Lex, Wynn, and Luna. They began to nudge the gorgodon, which broke out of its cage, and started playing in its poop as well. Sophie had seen many strange sights since arriving in the lost cities, but this was probably the strangest.
"Grady!"
"Yes?"
"You should see this."
Grady came outside and rubbed his eyes. "What the heck is going on?"
"I don't really know."
From what she could tell, the animals and the triplets were engaging in some form of chicken fight. Bex and the gorgodon were fighting over a piece of food, and it looked like Bex was somehow winning. Bex managed to pin the gorgodon to the ground and she shouted.
"Say uncle!"
The gorgodon made some sort of purring noise that sounded freakishly like an overgrown housecat.
"Good enough."
The gorgodon rolled over onto its belly, and Bex started rubbing it. Rex and Lex joined in, and they eventually snuggled up next to the gorgodon, falling asleep peacefully. Silveny and Greyfell shook the poop off of their manes, and flew away. Luna kept nudging Wynn, who relented and started to follow their parents. A poor gnome who somehow got stuck in the poop managed to finally escape, running off to the nearest river to get the poop off. Iggy ran back inside, trailing poop, causing Edaline to freak out and make it so that nobody could come in until she had personally inspected their feet.
Sophie went to bed. Or at least she tried to. In truth, she couldn't stay asleep. Because whenever she managed to fall asleep, she kept having seemingly random nightmares about red light, and the word Caravel being repeated over and over again. She shouted out in frustration. "What the heck is Caravel?" Sandor immediately burst into the room. "What's going on?"
Sophie sighed. "I keep having these nightmares, and they keep repeating the word Caravel over and over again. Have you ever heard of it?"
"No, but I could offer a sedative."
"I know I'm against them, but in this case I'm willing to make an exception."
"Great."
Then Sandor immediately pulled out a syringe and injected Sophie in the arm with a pink liquid. As she fell unconscious, the last thing she saw was a figure pulling off a mask and costume, revealing a person in a black cloak. The sounds of their laughter reverberated in her ears, as she felt herself being moved.
Cliffhangers! Action! Attempted murder by rabid fans because of cliffhangers! All of these things will happen or happen to me in the... next chapter(coming sooner than the previous ones) I'll never tell you the exact date! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
