Some Real Entertainment
Cassandra couldn't believe it. First she had heard that her older sister Sophitia as the captain of the opposing team, then she had been ridiculed when she said her team's name, and then she got into a catfight with Sophitia resulting in a ruined painting of Ivy in the dining room.
"Cassandra, you coming?" Link called to Cassandra, who was still sitting down in her chair in the dining room. She wasn't aware that anyone had left. "Ivy's gonna give us a tour."
"Coming." She slowly got up out of her seat and trudged out of the room with a servant shutting the large door behind her.
"And if you look to your left..." Ivy was showing the whole crowd a large painting of her in the ballroom. "You'll see a large picture of me from several years ago in a Larry Ventton dress."
"I'll bet that was taken after she slept around with some guy." Yun Seong whispered to Kilik sniggering. "That's why in the painting she's smiling."
"Hey! May there be one conversation only!" Ivy called out loud, startling the two men.
"Sorry your ladyship." Kilik answered, trying not to look at Ivy.
"Moving on, if all of you would follow me..." Ivy led the unenthusiastic group over to the balcony overlooking the library.
Ivy may have been so far doing an okay job of showing around her mansion, however she was failing miserably at keeping the group in check.
Even Link had trouble paying attention to Ivy's ramblings about her estate. He needed some real entertainment in order to stay awake.
"Things would be way cooler if no one knew where anything was; people would get lost all the time." Link thought to himself while trying not to fall asleep as Ivy lectured the group of a gigantic marble statue of her.
"Hm..." Link looked around the room. Who did he think was the most gullible of the characters? His eyes then rested on the back of Xianghua's head.
Xianghua wasn't really paying attention. Instead she had noticed something buzzing around Ivy's head.
"Jackpot." Link quietly strode over to Xianghua.
"Link, what is it?" She whispered quietly in Link's ear.
"Xianghua," Link began, slowly moving Xianghua over to an empty wall away from the group. "I've heard Ivy has a large ice cream bar in the basement. Wanna find it?"
"Ice cream? ICE CREAM ICE CREAM ICE CREAM ICE CREAM!"
Everyone immediately stared at an ice-cream-crazy two year old named Chai Xianghua. For a second there, Link thought he saw a vein poking out of Ivy's forehead.
"Link..." Ivy began, shaking. "Is there a problem?"
"No, uh, your British-lady-with-a-whip...ness."
"Riiight. Come on, people! It's about time I showed you my hentai collection. Follow me!" All the guys stared up at her; seeing Ivy in a hentai collection was a dream come true. While Ivy led everyone down a narrow hallway, Link decides to take advantage of Xianghua once more.
"Xianghua, so are you gonna find the ice cream room?" Link asked grinning slightly.
"What do I get for all this?"
"Well, you get loads and loads of ice cream."
"And?"
"And I'll let you poke me nonstop all day tomorrow." Of course this wasn't true, Link thought to himself. He'd just avoid her or find a way to get her kicked out early.
"Okie-dokey!" Xianghua squealed, looking in all directions. "Where do I go?"
"Down that hallway." Link pointed out, showing her a dimly-lit hallway.
"Okay! Bye-bye, Link!" Xianghua pranced down the dark hallway.
"This isn't right." Link thought to himself humorously. He looked at the other group with interest. "I can't wait to see the look on Ivy's face when she hears Xianghua's missing..."
