Chapter 16: The Fair

Arthur grabbed Ludwig's hand as the others were fighting over where to go next.

"Ssssshhhhh," he shushed smirking.

Ludwig nodded grinning and the pair trailed away from their idiotic big brothers. They went and bought junk food to eat then went to play booth games. Ludwig won Arthur a giant green bunny from the both where you won a prize from making four shots in a row at the three-point line. Next, they checked out the rock wall. You won two hundred bucks if you made it to the top. Ludwig paid five dollars immediately.

"But your ankle," Arthur protested. "You have a boot on no way."

"Yes way I had a caste on and climbed on of these once and it's a lot harder with that," he said cheekily then got hooked up to the line that lowered people safely if they fell.

Arthur watched him shoot up the wall immediately and was once again impressed at his strength. His muscles weren't for show and he was a determined person. Arthur knew he wouldn't be able to do it because a lot of colorful rubber rocks were out of his height range. Even if he jumped to reach the next if he didn't have a good grip in time then he's just fall. It was wasted money for him.

"I WIN," Ludwig cheered at the top.

"YAAYYY," Arthur cheered back proud.

"LUDWIG FOLKERT BEILSCHMIDT," a voice yelled.

"Uh oh," Ludwig scowled.

"Busted," Arthur winced when his collar was grabbed by an agitated Allistor.

"You're in big trouble," Allistor growled. "BOTH OF YOU! QUIT POUTING AT GILBERT AND GET DOWN BEFORE I COME UP THERE," he roared to Ludwig next.

"Boo no fun," Ludwig pouted.

"Get down here brat," Gilbert scowled.

Gilbert smacked him on the back of his head making him whine when he had finally got down and free of the safety equipment. He did smirk at his money though when it was handed over to him. It was stolen from his hand.

"Oh look at that, enough to buy dinner for everyone," Gilbert mocked.

"It's mine Gilbie. I worked hard for it. Big dummy! Thief! Bully," he whined trying to get it back.

"Oh my heart! Such cruel words left your bratty mouth," Gilbert said dramatically clutching his heart. "My heart is broken!"

"Good," Ludwig sassed.

"You'll get it back if you behave. No more running off," Gilbert chuckled.

"Now to punish the brats," Allistor said gripping Arthur's hand. "WE FOUND OUR BABY BROTHERS THAT DISAPPEARED EVERYONE NO NEED TO KEEP LOOK OUT ANYMORE! WE FOUND OUR BABY BROTHERS," he yelled loudly in a chant as they walked making Arthur try to escape.

"OUR BABY BRUDERS WERE FOUND! DON'T WORRY THEY'RE SAFE," Gilbert chimed carrying Ludwig on his back who pouted hiding his face into his shoulder.

They continued to call out to the strangers they had asked to keep a look out for them when they had realized the two had disappeared. Arthur whined tugging against Allistor but his hand was gripping his in a vice grip.

"Why do we have to stay with you anyways? Obviously, we aren't little kids we are teenagers that don't have to be watched," Arthur scowled at him.

"Physically no but mentally you two are children," Allistor said bluntly.

"Am not," Arthur cried.

"I want your bunny."

"No! Flying Mint Bunny is mine," Arthur snarled clutching the stuffed animal to his chest.

"See? Childish," Allistor smirked patting his head making him pout.

They met back with the others the pair clearly sulking. Gilbert and Allistor looked amused for two people that were about to murder their baby brothers for running off. Now things seemed to be settled and nothing to worry about.

"Hey you're pretty cute," a guy paused looking at Arthur.

"Oh no," everyone said at the same time.

"GET AWAY FROM MY BABY BROTHER YOU UNHOLY SPAWN OF SATAN," Allistor roared attacking the guy.

"YOU CAN'T MURDER PEOPLE IN PUBLIC! STOP IT! ALLISTOR! DON'T YOU DARE BREAK HIS ARMS," Liam cried trying to pry him off.

"YAY ALLIE," Arthur cheered.

"DON'T ENCOURAGE HIM," everyone roared.

Ludwig watched the chaos unfold as the others tried to stop Allistor. Arthur's hand was on his and he was grinning wickedly before running off with him again taking advantage of the moment. Ludwig stumbled after him.

"But Gilbert….."

"Do you always listen to Gilbert? Live a little Luddie he's not your dad he isn't the boss of you," Arthur grinned.

"But when Vati isn't around he is."

"Who said?"

"Gilbert."

"He's tricking you. Come on," he waved him off then hauled him to go on rides. "Sorry," he chanted fifteen minutes later with Ludwig hovering over the trashcan losing all the junk food he ate. "I shouldn't have pressured you into that last one."

"I hate your convincing talks," Ludwig groaned.

A pale hand started petting him moments later. Arthur peered over as Gilbert kneeled by Ludwig and petted him soothingly. Gilbert turned his head to him.

"Allistor and I decided to let the others go ride some rides while we hunted you two down again. You're staying with us whether you like it or not," he scolded.

"Come on Artie. You're riding the Fireball with me," Allistor said tossing him over a shoulder knowing Arthur was scared of that ride making him protest wildly as he was carried to the line.

"Gilbie. I don't feel good," he whined flopping against him seeking comfort.

"Is that so," Gilbert hummed dabbing the puke from his face with a napkin and ushered him to a bench. "And what have we learned today?"

"Don't run off from Gilbie only the others," Ludwig supplied as he laid down and hid his face into his stomach.

Gilbert laughed at his response. Leave it to Ludwig to think Gilbert was the only one useful and in control. It just showed how much he adored his big brother.

"That's correct," he said fondly as he stroked his hair.

"Gilbie," he asked timidly.

"Hmmm?"

"Can we go to the animal tent they set up and win a puppy," he asked innocently.

"Hmmm. Only if you be good and rest for a little while so you don't get sick again."

"Ok!"

"LIAM I'M GOING TO FUCKING DIE! FUCK THIS RIDE! STOP FUCKING LAUGHING! I'M SCARED," Dylan's voice echoed making them cackle watching the fireball do it's loops.

"ALLIE DON'T LET GO OF MY HAND OR I'LL BEAT YOU UP," Arthur's voice echoed next making them laugh harder.

"Still has enough spunk to command Allistor," Gilbert chuckled.

"Always. You should know by now he has spunk all the time no matter the circumstances," Ludwig grinned.

"True that," Gilbert laughed.

They all grouped back up after an hour Arthur trembling in Allistor's arms like a child. Allistor had made him ride all the scary rides as his punishment.

"You're mean," Arthur cried at him.

"Am I?"

"The meanest!"

"Oh I'm so sorry," he gave in laughing.

"That doesn't sound convincing at all you jerk," he pouted.

"Well maybe next time you won't run off all alone when I tell you not to," he chided. "Even dad said not to."

"You are going to tell him are you," he pouted.

"Only if you're good I won't tell him. That means no more running off," he said patting his head.

"Gilbert can we go win a puppy now," Ludwig asked tugging his sleeve.

"Fine fine," he chuckled leading the way the others amused at how much he spoiled Ludwig.

"Knock over all four piles in a row and you win," the lady smiled at Ludwig giving him the baseballs he paid for.

He threw them at the bottles and knocked over two but the last two he missed making his face fall. Gilbert chuckled then bought four balls and hurled them. He glared when the last didn't fall over. After several attempts Séamus gave them pity and put his pitching skills to good use and knocked them all down on the first try.

"Go pick out a puppy," he said shoving Ludwig toward the puppies in a pen making him brighten.

"Ah….I just won on this side for him I didn't know you were going to help out," Gisil laughed his piles knocked over as well.

"Of course I would help him get a puppy he's adorable," Séamus said in mock offense

"I GET TWO PUPPIES NOW," Ludwig cheered making them crack up.

"I guess so," Gilbert chuckled.

"I wanna kitty! Allie get me a kitty," Arthur begged pointing at the dart board.

"Alright alright," he gave in and bought the darts.

"Pop five in a row and you get a kitten," the man supplied.

"Got it," he said and threw them expertly and popped all five.

Gilbert looked gloomy at the fact he couldn't win his baby brother something. Ludwig peered at him holding his two puppies then went to him and got them to lick his face all over making him cackle.

"They like you Gilbert," he cried happily beaming like the damn sun at him.

"Of course they do because I'm awesome," he bragged hugging him making him grin wider.

"Wait how are we supposed to explain the brats appearing with animals," Theodo pointed out.

"Eh they're cute they'll sucker them into letting them keep them," Liam shrugged.

"Alright now that we got pets lets go buy pet supplies then go home and order pizza," Gilbert decided. "It's on Ludwig," he smirked.

"Gilbie," Ludwig whined.

"You ran off again," he sang walking away making him chase after him.

"Bully! Thief! Meany! Jerk," Ludwig chanted as Gilbert cackled and the others followed laughing.

But in the end guess who didn't have to pay for the pizza because he suckered Christoph into it?

No one can resist Arthur or Ludwig. No one! They're too cute! A little random and all over the place but that's the only way I see the fair going for this group. Randomness and chaos from losing their little brothers. Also the animal shelter in my county always does a tent you can compete in a game and win a pet every couple of years when they are getting over crowded it's pretty cool so that's why I let them win pets.
