Chapter 9 - Insert Creative Title Name Here!
The sun shone brightly through the train window, and Maddie was slumped against the window, catching up on the days of sleep she had lost. The train sped past a plain of green, the wind blew by softly, everything seemed fine…
A loud crash echoed through the hallway. Yet somehow, Maddie was oblivious to this and passed it off as her friends' typical asshattery. Which, in fact was what it was.
"TIFFANY STABBING PEOPLE WITH FORKS IS NOT OKAY." Sting screeched, dodging Tiffany's attempts at killing him.
"OH, LIKE EATING ALL OF MY STRAWBERRY CAKE IS?" The girl responded, furious as she pointed to the empty plate.
"IT WAS A DARE AND YOU KNOW IT." Sting yelled as he turned to Rogue for help.
"THAT DOESN'T MATTER I'M GOING TO SEND YOU TO THE SEVEN FUCKING DEPTHS OF HELL." Tiffany yelled, about to stab Sting when Rogue's shadow wrapped around her, constricting her movements.
"Go Fairy-san!"
"Frosch! You're not supposed to cheer for the enemy!" Lector reprimanded.
"Frosch is sorry!"
"Why don't you use the attack that stopped Holy Nova?" Rogue asked, a brow raised as he watched the girl struggle.
"Because you want to see it!" Tiffany responded loudly.
"SHUT UP, YOU'RE HURTING MY EARS!"
"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT FROM YOU!"
Maddie sat up groggily, as yet another plate crashed into the door of her compartment as a frightened train conductor ran past.
"Dafuq…?" She groaned, rubbing her sore head. "Screw this, I'm going back to sleep."
"MADDIE!" Tiffany screeched, slamming open the door, causing the poor girl to yelp and fall off the bench.
"Waaaat?" The girl whined as she tried blinking the sleep out of her eyes. Suddenly, Sting, Rogue, Lector and Frosch appeared behind Tiffany, and another explosion could be heard in the background.
"Okay." The girl blinked. "What the hell did you do this time."
"We accidently set the train on fire, so hurry up and get your stuff," Tiffany said, shoving Maddie's bag and book in her face, before hurriedly picking up her own.
"Tch." Sting scoffed. "This is all your fault."
"Well," Tiffany snapped back, as she lightly pushed Rogue, Lector, and Frosch forward. "If you didn't accept that dare this would've never happened in the first place."
"Well I'm sorry we didn't know that you turn into a monster when someone steals your strawberry cake!"
"Woah, hold it." Maddie interrupted. "You stole her cake, and only the train was set on fire?"
"We can talk later." Rogue sighed. "The fire's getting closer to us."
"Leave this to me." Sting smirked, determined to show off. "White Dragon's Roar!" A white beam shot out of his mouth, and Sting jerked his head to the side, as the wall promptly exploded and they were greeted with the landscape whizzing by. Maddie gulped silently as she clung tightly to Tiffany's arm.
"You know…" She said thoughtfully. "Don't you have an armor that can negate or control flames or something? Is jumping really necessary?"
Tiffany cursed, as Rogue shot her another look, before the group jumped off the train.
oOoOoOoOo
Hanna and Emma groaned, as they finally finished cleaning up the mess that the wyverns had made.
"Where are Maddie and Tiffany~" Emma whined, as she rolled over onto her back. "I'm sooo bored."
"Beats me." Hanna yawned, as she cuddled with what was left of her body pillow of Edward Elric.
"Didn't they go visit Sabertooth or something?" Emma asked, as she began rolling around.
"Yea." Hanna responded tiredly, as she chucked a notepad onto Emma's bed. "Now leave me alone and go draw some random crap."
"But do we really have to invite Blue Pegasus?" Emma whined, obviously not hearing what her twin said. "They're creepy as hell, and none of us like them anyway."
"It was your idea to meet all the guilds, oh smart one." Hanna said dryly.
"Yeah well I didn't mean Blue Pegasus. I don't want to hear Parfum and MAAAAAN the whole night."
"Ichiya says 'mehn'. Elfman is the one that screams 'man' you baka."
"Whatever. All I'm saying, is that they will be the death of me."
"Then don't go near them you moron." Hanna stated simply. "Just hang out with some other people, like Quatro Cerberus, you love that guild to death. And besides, you're the only one that doesn't have an excuse to not go."
"Why? I'm not good with lots of drunk people!" Emma whined.
"You had the idea for this godforsaken party!" Hanna fumed.
"Oh yeah…"
"I told you that like 6 times you idiot." Hanna huffed, crossing her arms.
"When are Tiffany and Maddie coming back?" Emma whined.
"I don't know, when hell freezes over?" Hanna replied sarcastically, not in the mood for her sister's shit.
"So... when global warming happens?"
"...You are so stupid, on so many levels."
"Well, which one?"
"I give up."
"Why the hell do you guys live in the middle of a forest…?" Sting asked as he stared up at the ivy covered tower.
"Because we're strange people," Maddie answered simply, as she walked to the front door. "Now go inside."
"Why are we even coming in here?" Sting whined, stepping in after Tiffany. "The only reason I came was because Rogue dragged me here."
"Well, have fun surviving in the East Forest." Tiffany said dryly. "I'm perfectly fine with tossing you into the wild and leaving you to fend for yourself."
"We'll leave the moment you explain your powers." Rogue said, as he stepped into the tower. "It's just a couple of simple words, quite simple to say."
"Frosch thinks so too!"
"Yea." Lector scoffed, shifting from his spot on Sting's shoulder. "We could've avoided this whole mess if you'd just told Rogue what he wanted to hear."
"And this whole thing also could've been avoided if Rogue just minded his own business."
"Tiffany, just let them in." Maddie said, kicking her shoes off as she began walking up the stairs. "I know you want to antagonize them, but you're letting all the bugs in." Tiffany rolled her eyes at this.
"I was going to let them in and use them as manual labor. And honestly. If bugs really got in, they'd all go for Hanna and I. Bugs don't drink the blood of idiots."
"You realize we're right here." Sting said, a tick mark appearing on his face.
"Yea!" Lector shouted. "Don't talk about us as if we're not!"
"So if we do this manual labor you speak of, will you answer my question?" Rogue asked thoughtfully, as Sting glared at him for even considering the fact.
"Of course she will." Maddie chirped cheerfully. "Now hurry up Tiffany, we have to see if Emma wrecked the house while we were gone."
"Wow, thanks for offering me as the sacrifice." Tiffany drawled, as she too slipped her shoes off, walking up the stairs after Maddie in long strides, disappearing from view.
Leaving the four Sabertooth members to stand there, unsure of what to do.
"I think we just entered the point of no return."
"Frosch agrees!"
oOoOoOo
Emma's head snapped up as she heard the door slam open. She looked over helplessly at the mess she had made when she was attempting to make kites, and that shattered glass… Wait, shattered glass?
"Holy shit Hanna!" Emma yell-whispered. "Who broke that cup?"
"I don't know!" Hanna said back, as she began gathering up the mess Emma made in her arms and trying to stuff them into the closets. But failing miserably because her arms were too short to carry most of the items. "But it was your fault! Maybe! Just help me clean up!"
Emma ran around picking up the sticks and raincoats, finally helping Hanna shove them all into the closet, she sighed in relief, as both twins slumped against the nearest couch.
Suddenly, an object across the room caught Emma's eye.
"OMIGOD." Emma yelled, forgetting about being quiet. "IT'S A TOOTHPICK." Dashing across the room, picking up the object and sticking it in her mouth.
"Emma." Hanna deadpanned. "You don't know where that thing's been."
"Yes I do!" Emma said. "It was on the floor."
"You don't know what it was doing on the floor."
"Actually-"
Emma was promptly interrupted by the door of the living room being slammed open.
"We're home minna~" Maddie sang, but was silenced immediately by Tiffany slapping a hand over her face.
"Emma." Tiffany sighed, "Would you care to explain why the closet looks like it's been stuffed to the brim with trash, and why you're covered in glue?"
Both twins swore at the same time.
"Shit! I knew I forgot something!"
"Shit! Emma this whole thing could've been avoided if you just didn't try making any kites."
Maddie groaned at this.
"Did you guys seriously try making kites? We have literally nothing to make it out of. And what were you going to do after you made it? Tie it to the wyverns and watch it fall pathetically to the ground?"
"Actually." Emma said thoughtfully. "That actually sounds like a good idea."
"Oh no." Hanna groaned. "Don't you dare try to drag us into another project, we're already busy enough as it is with the festival, which I might add was your idea, yet all you've been doing is sitting around and making kites."
"Well I would've done more if you guys hadn't sacrificed me to Ichiya!" Emma whined. "I still have nightmares about that!"
"By the way." Tiffany interrupted, as Maddie plopped onto a couch, pulling a pillow to her chest. "About the festival, we'd better get started right away, or we're not going to be able to prepare in time. I've got some… helpers for physical labor, we've just got to decide who's in charge of what. Although I'm a bit sceptic to let Emma do anything at all."
"Let Emma be in charge of the food." Hanna muttered. "After all, it is her fault we have to provide food for all of the guilds that are going to come."
"I was also thinking we could have some sort of entertainment." Tiffany said thoughtfully, as Maddie jumped up from her seat.
"I call in charge of entertainment then!" She chirped, before plopping back down.
"I'll do decoration." Hanna said. "Which leaves Tiffany with manual labor, and the actual setting up." Tiffany cursed under her breath, while Maddie burst out into laughter.
The twins stared on blankly.
"What did I miss?" Emma asked, confused as she and Hanna shared similar looks of confusion.
"It's just…" Maddie laughed, struggling to breathe. "We forced Sting and Rogue to help us with the festival set up since they decided to follow us."
Emma burst out into laughter, as Hanna (who was desperately trying to hold in her snickers) patted Tiffany on the shoulder.
"On the bright side." She giggled. "At least you have Fro?"
"Not helping man, not helping."
Hello there, people of fanfiction... We apologize for not updating in... well, forever. But... We've been having problems.
Hanna, Emma, and Maddie are arguing over the story, and I've been becoming the mediator (Tiffany/amberleaf4100). ME. The one that acts like a demon half the time.
Soooo, please understand why it's taken us so long to update this chapter, and please understand that we argue over quite a lot of things (like, who's the true bae in Fairy Tail).
Thanks for reading~ Reviews would be nice... And again (shameless self promotion), there is a poll for this story on our profile - so if you have time, it would be very much appreciated if you took it.
