Ta DAAAA! The third chapter! I didn't think I could make it this far but hey, sometimes I surprise myself!!
Drumroll!!
"Murtagh where are you!" Eragon shouted. He had just about given up looking for him ever since he had disappeared during the chase.
"I think it's quite cute," Eragon said, looking at the jumper, "geez, it's so much trouble just to get him to be cheerful," he chucked it into a corner and continued further into the palace looking for people to help him with his surprise.
He came to a stop outside Galbatorix's bedroom, Eragon creaked the door open. Galbatorix was sleeping on his bed, he was wearing pink striped pyjamas and he had his fluffy teddy in his hands. He was in a strange type of position, as if he were doing yoga in his sleep, and was snoring very loudly. Eragon checked his watch; it was eleven o' clock in the morning.
Eragon left the room and returned later wearing earmuffs and carrying a fog horn. Everything happened so quickly, Eragon activated the horn sending Galbatorix soaring into the sky his head inches from colliding with the ceiling.
"Ahhhh!" he screamed when he saw Eragon at the doorway.
"You stupid, crazy person!" he shouted, "Do you want to give me a heart attack on Christmas Eve!!"
"Ah is that a trick question," Eragon answered. "Just kidding," he said when he saw Galby's expression.
"What do you want Eragon!" Galby screeched at him.
"Well today is Arya's favourite day of the year and I want it to be a memorable one for her this year, and I need your help," Eragon responded.
"Well you came to the right place!" Galby's expression changed and he grinned at Eragon, showing rows of pointy teeth.
"So what do you need help with, I do Santa dress up for fifty dollars, Christmas tree decoration for one hundred dollars, and I wire electrical lights for two hundred dollars, make your decision rider!"
Eragon gaped at the prices.
"Actually I was wondering if you could make and write her a Christmas card, you know, a nice one, a home made one, a gift from the heart."
Galbatorix looked at Eragon. "I demand payment of twenty dollars,"
"Fifteen," Eragon said.
"Ten!" Galby shouted.
"Deal!" Eragon laughed, Galby muttered a curse.
"Fine," he said.
Eragon ran back outside the door and handed Galby a box of materials and coloured paper.
"Use these," he said, "And don't say anything to Arya,"
Galbatorix looked at the box of materials, he picked up the scissors.
"I wonder how this works," he thought to himself.
HoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHoHo
Eragon was so pleased with himself now, he had gotten so many people to help him out, and it was great!
Eragon reached into his pocket where he kept a small locket. He opened it and sat and stared lovingly at Arya's face inside it for about ten minutes, before tucking it away and began finishing the decorating which Murtagh had forgotten.
Suddenly the mysterious music began to play again; Eragon picked up a garland and twirled it around himself before singing to the music.
"Deck the halls with boughs of holly!" he shouted in his loudest voice. "Fa la la la la la la la LA!" he ran down the hall, the garland flowing madly behind him, "TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY!" he surprised Roran practising his singing in his room, then ran off again, "FA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA La!" he passed Murtagh's hiding spot still singing, "Don we now our GAY APPAREL!"
"Lunatic!" Murtagh said aloud. Eragon didn't hear him as he began again.
"FA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!" Eragon waved at the Twins who were having trouble decorating, before running into the kitchen where Nasuada was on her fifteenth carton.
"Troll the ancient YULE TIDE CAROL!" he spun the garland around Nasuada tying her in a knot, before dashing off again. He burst into the bathroom, "FA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!" Someone screamed, the music paused, Eragon looked in front of him, Oromis was standing stark naked in front of him, and he had just gotten out of the shower. Eragon's face went red, he bit his lip; Oromis was desperately trying to shield himself from view.
"ERAGON!!!!!" he shouted. Eragon bolted; Oromis put on a bath robe and began the chase after Eragon.
Eragon run upstairs to Arya's bedroom and hid inside her wardrobe, Oromis ran into the room, Eragon had to be careful not to breathe too heavily, Oromis mumbled some strange words and soon before Eragon knew it Oromis swung the door of the wardrobe wide open and growled at Eragon before leaping at him, Eragon ducked and jumped out of the wardrobe, and that's when the war began, Oromis began flinging Arya's clothes at Eragon, Eragon chucked perfume bottles and nail polish, he didn't duck though when a bra flew straight at his head, then Eragon picked up a can of 'Impulse' spray.
"Take that!" he said as he pressed the button on the can, straight at Oromis.
Oromis sneezed as the spray went right up his nose, he then grabbed Arya's powder and threw the whole thing at Eragon leaving him as white as a ghost, he coughed as some reached the inside of his mouth. Despite his image Eragon laughed.
"Fight all you want you want, you can't catch me old man!" Eragon ran out of Arya's room and headed straight for Murtagh's, Oromis right behind him.
Eragon grabbed Murtagh's 'Lynx' deodorant and hid round the corner of the bedroom door, Oromis looked ferocious, he marched into the room teeth clenched together, Eragon waited for the right timing and then spray!
Oromis shrieked as the deodorant hit his eyes.
"I'M BLIND!" he yelled. Eragon ran out of the room, leaving Oromis to mourn his eyes, (even though they weren't blinded), he slid down the stair banister and landed face to face with Brom.
"Ok, Eragon what have you done this time?" Brom asked.
Eragon grinned.
"Nothing," he replied, smiling all the while.
"What do you mean nothing; I could hear Oromis's cries all the way from the laundry."
"What were you doing in the laundry?" Eragon asked.
"None of your business," Brom replied, "You ask a lot of questions,"
There was a silence before Brom asked, "Hey, has Arya come back with the shopping yet? I want to get dinner started A.S.A.P."
"No she hasn't," Eragon answered. "Hey Brom," he said remembering what he had been asking all day. "Today is Arya's…"
"Yes I know, the Twins told me, so what do you want me to do," Brom interrupted.
Eragon swallowed his anger, HE HATED BEING INTERRUPTED!
"Well," he said, "Are you good with Christmas lights?"
"Me, why I'm fantastic! Ask anybody!" Brom exclaimed.
"Good, because before you prepare any food, I want you to decorate the whole outside palace and garden with fairy lights, different colours, so tonight everything will look bright and beautiful!"
Brom looked uneasy, but he forced a smile and said, "Alright, you can count on me Eragon!"
"Great!" Eragon said.
Brom left for the basement where the lights were being kept, Eragon ran straight to the telephone, he grabbed Arya's telephone book and started ringing.
One hour later, he hung up and ran outside to the backyard where he watched and waited.
