Ta-da! Chapter twenty-two of Xanna! Enjoy!
Note: Awesome. I updated on the twenty-forth and now I'm updating again. This is good! :D
"Xan Xan! Wake up, Xan Xan!" Cosmo said as he gently shook his friend to wake her up for breakfast. "Unh, five more minutes, Liane…" She said, trying to shoo Cosmo away and rolling over onto her stomach.
Cosmo chuckled a little, placing his hands on his naked hips. "I guess that means that you don't wanna eat waffles, then." He smirked at her; it grew even bigger when he saw her right eye shoot open.
Xanna then quickly sat up. "We're having falaffles for breakfast?!" She asked giddily, her eyes twinkling like stars.
'Why can't you just call them waffles like a nor-well, you aren't normal; so nevermind…' Ixxy said, hating that Xanna always had to call waffles "falaffles"; and that she always got super hyper when she heard the word.
Cosmo chuckled some more and tried to calm his friend down; he should've known to be a little more careful with the "W" word. "Yes, Xan Xan. Fëanáro's mom is making wa-… Those for breakfast." He told her, smiling.
"FALAFFLES!!!!!" Xanna shouted, jumping out of her bed and nearly hitting the roof.
'Oh god, here we go…'
"Falaffles, falaffles, falaffles!!!" Xanna said over and over as she changed out of her nightgown and into normal clothes; at least, she tried, but she ended up wearing her shirt as pants and her pants on her head. She also put her ponytail holder around her neck; somehow.
In her rush to go and eat some "falaffles", Xanna forgot how to turn a doorknob; so, when she was running to the bedroom door to get out of the room, she ran into it.
"Ow…" She said on the ground; and somehow dressed properly.
Once she looked at the door, she remembered what she was doing, got up, and ran into the door again; and again, and again, and again, and about twenty or so more times after that.
'I hate you so much…'
"Uh, Xan Xan?…" Cosmo said after putting on some pants. "Maybe you should try turning the doorknob to get out?" He suggested, turning his hand around an invisible doorknob so Xanna would get the idea of what he was saying.
'So he's not a complete idiot.' Ixxy said, her hands on her hips. 'That's good to know.'
As the two talked; though, Cosmo still had no idea that Ixxy even existed because she was just a voice in his friend's head; Xanna ignored them and continued to run into the door, still saying "falaffles".
Cosmo shook his head, letting out a little chuckle at his silly friend; then he walked over and opened the door for her, not thinking about how she would run into the wall in the hallway when he did.
"Falaffles!!!" She continued to yell, getting up and running into the hallway door.
"Xan Xan, turn the doorknob!" Cosmo told her, putting on his shirt.
This time when he said it, she actually did turn the doorknob; and ran into several more walls on her way to the kitchen.
'How the hell do you not have brain damage?'
"Falaffles!!!"
'I guess you'd have to have a brain to have brain damage…'
Xanna finally made it to the kitchen, still shouting falaffles and running into just one more wall; landing flat on her back.
"Ow…" She groaned. 'After fifty or seventy times of doing that in a row, it kinda starts to hurt a little…'
'No shit.' Ixxy said, her hands on her hips again as she stared at Xanna on the ground. 'You have to be some sort of genius!'
Ignoring Ixxy, Xanna opened her eyes; and she saw one of the most amazing things she had ever seen in her life.
"Ahhh…" She said, going wide eyed as she stared at the beautiful thing.
It was a huge pile of waffles; so big, it was probably touching the ceiling. Which was far away from the kitchen table it was on.
"Mount Falaffle…" Xanna said, rolling onto her stomach and getting up, still staring at the pile of waffles with wide eyes; and drooling a little.
"Actually, Miss Xanna, a falaffle is a type of meat ball. These are waffles." Gishezpak said, holding up a waffle on his fork.
"There's actually a thing called a falaffle?" Xanna asked, tilting her head at the Troll; she received a nod. "Yes. There is."
"Weird… That's just what I like to call waffles." She said; then she shrugged and began to cackle. "Ahahahahahahaha!!!"
Everyone; except for Cosmo and Mittens; raised an eyebrow at the girl.
"Xanna?" Akazil asked, now slightly scared by his friend.
"It's real! It's real!" She said, jumping up and down next to Cosmo; then she began to fidget with her fingers, still cackling and smiling wickedly as she stared at the huge pile of waffles. "They said it wasn't real. They said I'd never find it. They called me crazy…" She said, then tossed her left hand into the air; pointing her index finger. "Well, who's the crazy one now! Ahahahahaha!" She cackled at the end of her crazy rant.
'Still you.' Ixxy said, filing her fingernails.
'Shut up!'
"Xanna, what're you talking about?" Mokoki asked, scooting away from the elf with Makaza and closer to Gishezpak.
"She really likes waffles." Cosmo said, patting the top of Xanna's head as she smiled.
"So…" Makaza was saying as he watched Xanna circle the waffles. "She always gets twitchy like a mad scientist when it comes to waffles?"
"Ehehehehehehehe!!!" Xanna cackled, still circling the waffles as she thought of how she would "attack" them.
Cosmo nodded and smiled at his friend, taking a seat next to Kadgaa; who let out a little growl at the action.
Ignoring the racist Draenei, Cosmo got a plate of waffles for himself and one for his wonderful pet, Mittens; who was being stalked by Naraxis again.
"But, Xan Xan…" Cosmo said in his mother hen voice; the little elf peeked around the mountain. "Yesss?…"
"Don't over do it. You'll go into a coma."
"Of course I'm not gonna over do it!" Xanna said, hiding her army helmet and her plans of taking out the "North side" of the "mountain". 'Damnit, I shoulda known he'd be onto me…'
'Well; after what happened the last time you had waffles; I wouldn't be surprised.'
Xanna sighed and put away her plans and helmet.
"I'm serious, Xan Xan. Don't over do it."
"Don't worry, Cosmo." Xanna said, grabbing herself a fork and plate. "I'll just start off with two…five…tee-wenty…five…" She said, putting twenty-five waffles on her plate; earning a mother hen look from her friend.
Xanna sighed and put twenty of the waffles back. "Okay, okay. Just five." She said; then looked at the waffles. "You just wait, South side. I'm comin' for ya…" She said, glaring at it; then taking a seat between Cosmo and Akazil.
When she sat down, she just looked at her waffles; feeling like something was missing.
'Hmm…something's missing… But I don't know what…'
"Syrup?" Akazil asked, handing his friend a bottle of the sugary goodness; she smiled and pointed at it. "That's it!"
"Then take it." He said, trying to hand it to her; but she pushed it away; Akazil raised an eyebrow in confusion.
And then Xanna pulled out a bottle of chocolate syrup; from nowhere. Like she always does.
"Where the hell does she keep getting this crap?!" Kadgaa said, confused at how Xanna could always pull things from nowhere; the girl wasn't Cheesus!
'You say "that's it" when you see regular syrup…and then get chocolate syrup…from nowhere…' Ixxy sighed and shook her head. 'One; I hate you. Two… No. I'm not even gonna ask where or how you get this crap. But three; did you ever think about how that could depress the fairy?' She said, putting her right hand on her hip and pointing to Cosmo.
Xanna looked and she saw that Cosmo was frowning at the bottle of sweet, chocolate goodness; and she knew why, too.
"I'm sorry, Cosmo…" She put the bottle in front of him. "Did you want some?" She offered with a smile; receiving a big grin and nod from him.
Ixxy dropped to the floor of Xanna's mind from the shock of stupidity. 'I hate you…' She whined.
After an hour of being in a "falaffle coma", Xanna and the rest of her group sat around the table talking.
"So, how did you sleep, Xan Xan?"
'Horrible…' Xanna answered in her mind.
'Horrible? I thought you liked dreaming about puppies.' Ixxy said, raising an eyebrow at Xanna; she did the same thing back. 'You mean you didn't…?'
'Didn't what?'
'You didn't see it…' Xanna said to herself as she stared at Ixxy, wondering how and why Ixxy didn't see the torture she had gone through in her sleep last night.
'See what? You hugging and cooing over puppies? No, I saw that. It was horrible…'
'Um…' Xanna shook her head; she'd have to think about that later. 'Just doesn't make sense…' She thought.
"Xan Xan?" Cosmo asked, poking his friend because she went quiet.
"Hmm? Oh, sorry." She said, remembering the group. "Uh, I slept…great. Yeah, just great. Nothin' but…sweet dreams all night long." She lied, trying to put on a convincing smile for the group.
"I think that's a lie." Dethiam said, looking at her paddleball and dagger; trying to figure out how to combine the two. The others raised their eyebrows at her; whether it was from her accusation or from her looking at her "toys" was unsure.
"Why do you think she's lying?" Makaza asked, folding his arms over his chest.
"Well, it makes sense. I mean, she's a-" Kadgaa was saying, until he remembered that Xanna was neither Alliance nor Horde; but a Halfling. "A…girl…" He changed the rest of his sentence before he went to minding his own business.
"Right…" Dethiam said, staring blankly at the alien goat thing; then she shook her head, without shaking it off. "I say that she's lying because she was groaning in her sleep all night."
Xanna slowly lowered her chin as she looked around in random directions, fearing that there was about to be an issue.
"Uh; probably not really my business; but… How would you know that? I mean, she wasn't loud enough to wake us all up; no less, the one that was sharing a room with her." Fëanáro said, motioning his right hand toward Cosmo.
"Undead don't sleep, moron. So I wandered the house all night to occupy myself." Dethiam said, going back to looking at her dagger. "When I passed their room-"
"Wait, wait, wait." Kadgaa said, interrupting the Undead girl yet again. "You were wandering around last night? Doing what?!"
"I just said; I was occupying myself." Dethiam answered simply, staring blankly at the boy.
"I don't buy it." He said, folding his arms over his chest. "I say she was planning to kill us last night!" He accused, pointing his right hand at the Undead girl.
'Perfect time to get away…' Xanna thought, slowly sneaking off as everyone began to argue about why Dethiam was up and about last night.
"If you want me to kill something, how 'bout I kill you!" Dethiam shouted, getting on the table to put her dagger to Kadgaa's throat.
"See?! Why do you like these creatures, Fëan? They're nothing but trash!" Kadgaa shouted, glaring at the Undead.
Akazil shook his head and sighed, his head in his left hand; he was trying to ignore the two trying to murder each other right there. 'This is a wonderful morning…' He thought, then opened his eyes to look at them and try to tell them to stop; but he noticed that something was missing.
"Xanna?…"
After breaking up Dethiam and Kadgaa's fight; without dying, somehow; everyone looked around the house for the missing Xanna.
"Xanna!" Makaza called out, walking down a hallway with Mokoki and Gishezpak. "Xanna, where are you!"
"Hotness?" Mokoki said, opening up a door to yet another bathroom. "Damnit, how many bathrooms does this place have?!" He said, shutting the door. "Honestly! Is it even necessary to have eleven bathrooms?!"
"Well, Mister Fëanáro and Miss Sophie do have twenty or so other siblings; so, I'd say that yes, it is." Gishezpak said, opening a door to another bedroom; except this one was pink. And belonged to one of Fëanáro's brothers.
"I don't believe she is in this room either." He said, shutting the door, walking back to his friends; seeing that Makaza was looking in a laundry basket.
"Xanna? You in there?" The Orc said, tossing clothes everywhere as he looked for his friend.
"Mister Makaza, I don't believe she will be hiding in dirty laundry." Gishezpak said, dodging the clothes that were being thrown out onto the floor.
"Well, she's gotta be somewhere!" Makaza said, throwing out a bra; which landed on Mokoki's head.
"Xanna! Xanna, are you in there!" He said into the empty laundry basket, picking it up and putting it on his upper body as much as he could to find Xanna. "Come out!"
Gishezpak shook his head at Makaza, then looked over to Mokoki; he saw that the Tauren was grinning widely at the bra and staring at it with a twinkle in his eye.
Gishezpak sighed. "Let us just continue our search for, Miss Xanna." He said, starting to walk off.
"Can't." Makaza said, turning to Gishezpak. "I'm stuck…"
Gishezpak lowered his head and sighed again. 'I really hope all of this is worth what he wants…'
"Xanna? Xanna, where are you!" Akazil called out in the hallway; along with Cosmo, Mittens, Fëanáro, Kadgaa, Naraxis, and Dethiam.
"Xan Xan? Are you in here?" Cosmo said, reaching for a doorknob to continue his search in the room; but he was stopped by Kadgaa. Naturally.
"What do you think you're doing?" He said, holding the doorknob so Cosmo wouldn't be able to touch it.
"I'm looking for my little Xan Xan." Cosmo said with a stern look. "And if you try to stop me, I will sick Mittens on you."
"Just try it, Horde." Kadgaa said, glaring down at the elf; both got in each other's faces and growled.
"Okaaay…" Fëanáro said, pulling Kadgaa away from Cosmo as Akazil pulled Cosmo away from Kadgaa. "If we're gonna look for Xanna-"
"Which I still see no point of…" Kadgaa said, folding his arms over his chest.
"-then we shouldn't waste our time with arguing…" Fëanáro finished his sentenced, staring blankly at his Draenei friend; the he shook his head and sighed.
"That's going to be impossible." Kadgaa told his friend. "They're Horde, we're Alliance. Of course there's going to be arguing! Possibly even death if we turn our backs on them!"
"Okay, then let's split up." Fëanáro said, receiving a disapproving; from Kadgaa; an approving look; from Cosmo; and an unsure look; from Akazil.
In the background behind those three, Naraxis was flirting with Mittens; who was ignoring him; and Dethiam was playing with her paddleball.
"Hell no!" Kadgaa protested, throwing his arms up in the air; he was having a little bit of a hard time understanding how his friend could let Horde run freely around his house. No less, let them in. But if he wasn't going to stop them from wandering about, then Kadgaa figured that he would.
"I think it's a great idea!" Cosmo said, turning to glare at Kadgaa; he thought that splitting up was great because it would help them find Xanna faster, and he'd be away from the racist Draenei. And Mittens wouldn't have to worry about Naraxis.
"Meow!" Mittens hissed, bitch slapping Naraxis away from her, leaving claw marks on his face; and he still came back.
After that little scene happened, Cosmo changed his thought; Mittens have to worry about Naraxis much.
Akazil was unsure for a very reasonable reason; yes, they'd find Xanna faster if they were split up, but he didn't want Fëanáro to have the chance to find her first.
' "Oh, Xanna, I love you." ' Fëanáro said in the scene that was playing in his mind. ' "Oh, Fëan, I love you, too." ' Xanna said in the scene, then she closed her eyes as Fëanáro leaned down to her for a kiss.
Akazil shook his head before he could let the scene finish; now there was no way he was going to let Fëanáro out of his sight.
"How 'bout Kad and Cosmo go search down another hallway, and Fëan and I keep looking down this one?" Akazil suggested, receiving quirked eyebrows from the other three.
"That…" Cosmo was saying, pausing his strangling on Kadgaa.
"Idea…" Kadgaa continued for him, also pausing his strangling.
"Is good." Fëanáro finished, paused in trying to pull Kadgaa off of Cosmo.
"What?!" Cosmo said with a shocked look on his face as he looked at Fëanáro; obviously because he didn't want to look for Xanna with Kadgaa.
"He means for a Horde." Kadgaa told him, still keeping his hold on Cosmo's neck; he just received narrows eyes.
"So it's settled. The Hunters go down one hallway, the Warriors keep goin' down this one, and Deth-" Akazil was saying, turning around to see that Dethiam was already walking off. "Is off minding her own business…" He said, turning back to the other three; then he shrugged. "Well, let's get goin'."
Fëanáro nodded. "Yeah." He said, walking up to Akazil and walking off with him. "You two behave yourselves!" He called back to the Hunters.
"What?!" Cosmo said, his jaw dropping as he watched the Warriors walk away; he was also no longer strangling Kadgaa.
"But-!" Kadgaa was saying, his jaw also dropping; and also no longer strangling Cosmo.
The two both sighed, both putting their heads in one of their hands; then they looked at each other.
"I don't like you…" They told each other.
As they glared at each other, Naraxis duct taped Mittens to a chair and forced her to go on a fancy dinner date with him.
And that is the end for now. Let us all hope that I update again soon.
Note: Sorry I've been procrastinating so much. I'll try to get better, but I'm not making any promises.
Another Note: One of the reasons I was procrastinating so much was because I had these scenes in my head, but I just couldn't figure out how to connect them. Like, I wanted to write about how the food fight started between chapters nineteen and twenty, but I just couldn't figure out how. So; with good advice; I just said screw it and wrote down the scene and posted it. I like to imagine it as me pressing a fast forward button. =)
Third Note: The naked hips thing… Yeah, Cosmo likes to sleep naked.
Forth Note: I've had this "falaffle" thing stuck in my head for a very long time, so that's why I used it. Really happy that I finally got to this part.
Fifth Note: Yes, I call waffles "falaffles".
Sixth Note: I saw on the food channel that a falaffle is a meat ball.
Seventh Note: Cheesus was made up my big brother. The full name is Cheesus Rice. Lol. Just Thought I'd use that.
Eghth Note: The reason why Ixxy didn't see Xanna's dream will be explained later Note: Kad and Cosmo…Fëan and Ak… Yeah, that's gonna be a long "Xanna hunt".
Tenth Note: I smiled a lot when I pictured Mittens duct taped to a chair because Naraxis forced her to go on a date with him. Lol. I so need to draw a picture of that.
The Note After The Tenth Note: Also; I edited the first chapter. You know, fixed typos, grammar errors and added a few things I thought should've been there in the first place. I'm going to do this to all of the chapters. I'm currently working on chapter two.
The Last Freaking Note: Damnit, that was a lot of damn freakin' notes…
