Well guys, sorry I don't update as much, but I'm super busy

Well guys, sorry I don't update as much, but I'm super busy. Hope you enjoy this, it's not that great, because I'm writing it all as I go off the top of my head.

I do NOT own the Underland Chronicles or any of their characters. They all belong to Suzanne Collins and are probably copy written by her.

Chapter Five

"Where have you been?" cried a familiar voice behind Gregor, trembling with emotion. He whirled around to face his mother. His face went pale. She looked angry enough to explode.

"Oh… um, Mom, I thought that you were resting and I, uh… didn't want to… disturb you?" Gregor tried to come up with an excuse, but honestly he completely forgot about her.

"Listen, Gregor, do you remember our agreement? You can't just wonder off wherever you want! Remember that I have to keep an eye on you twenty-four seven. I'm sorry, but if you pull a stunt like that again we are going to leave early!" Grace snapped.

Gregor turned red. It was embarrassing to be chided by his mother in front of all his friends, but he decided to apologize. He would do anything to not have to go back up.

"I'm sorry mom, it won't happen again," Gregor said.

"Good, but don't let it happen. You have to tell me everywhere you go to, and when you go to it. You are not to leave my sight again!" grace said still steaming a little bit.

That's when Mareth came walking up. "Luxa, Overlanders! Come, the feast is about to begin!" Gregor was happy for any excuse to change the subject so they all headed to the middle of the arena. They had some sort of tarps set up in an almost maze like fashion, but there was enough room for everyone to have a seat and have some food in the "outdoors". Gregor figured they did this because it would be too hard to fly all of the nibblers into the palace to eat.

Gregor and the others started eating the feast, and it was just incredible.There were so many strange and new foods to Gregor, but they were all delicious. They had a weird sweet tasting purple drink. Gregor asked what it was made of, and Luxa told him a strange plant name that he didn't know, so he decided to leave it at that. There was also bread made from special grains, some of their precious spare vegetables they had down there, a lot of meats, especially fish, four massive cauldrons filled with shrimp and cream sauce, with a scared and shaking chef next to them watching Ripred eat, and there was also a special type of ice cream like desert. Apparently it was made from the milk of some of the creatures down there. Gregor shuddered at the thought of eating a giant creature's milk, but he decided it wasn't too weird considering that people in the Overland drank milk from cows all the time.

After they ate for a while, they went back to the arena. Gregor was talking to Luxa about the Overland, Ripred was there asking Grace about Lizzie and giving her advice on what to do with panic attacks, and there were many children and nibblers running around and playing. That was when Vikus

"Vikus! Long time no see!" exclaimed Gregor excited to see his old friend.

"Greetings, Gregor! It is a great pleasure to see you again," Vikus replied in his usual diplomatic tone. He was looking better than he did when Gregor had last seen him. He still had a slight limp on his left side, Gregor figured it was from the effects of the heart attack he had during his last visit. Vikus seemed ecstatic to see him.

"I am quite glad you were able to come. Here, we must discuss the pro… Luxa, are you feeling well?" Vikus asked. Luxa was shaking her hands and head trying to warn Vikus not to bring up the prophecy, but stopped when he noticed her before the others saw her.

"No, I am well, Vikus," Luxa replied giving him a big wink. Vikus, oblivious as ever, kept going. "Alright, then. So, Gregor, you must come with me so we can discuss this new prophecy; it causes much worry to me."

Luxa just stood there perplexed; Ripred had a look on his face that showed that he was trying not to laugh out loud at Gregor; and Gregor himself slowly turned his head, shaking, and looked at his mother. Grace just stood there wide eyed, and Vikus was in the back looking around wondering if he had said something wrong.

Yeah, yeah, short chapter I know, and crappy too, but deal with it lol. As always I love my reviewers! You guys are awesome and motivate me to keep writing! I will honestly try to update more often, but we will see what I can do.
