(Author's Notes: This was RSBI's St. Patrick's Day fic for 2003. If you are wondering who Carbunkle and Death are, Carbunkle Garnet is a high school friend and Death Scythe is my younger brother. They used to help me with my website by providing content for me to post or helping me write fics. If you've ever read any of Carbunkle's work before then you'll notice this fic has a lot of his writing influences in it. Which isn't surprising as it was his idea for this part of the fic. If you've never read anything of Carbunkle's before... well it can be a bit crazy)

Green Ale Mischief

Part Three

By Carbunkle, Death and Relm

"But Miss Lina I don't want to go there!" Amelia whined to Lina whom was dragging her with her. Lina, Amelia, Gourry, Sylphiel and Zelgadis were once again traveling and searching for treasure and other things. At present Lina was trying to get everyone to go with her to some random town. Amelia was the only one protesting.

"C'mon it will be fun! Besides we're all going anyway and I'm not about to let to roam around on your own causing trouble." Lina rationalized.

"I never cause trouble! That's what you do!" Amelia protested.

"Oh right and I'm sure the people in Zilon would whole heartedly agree with you." Lina chided waving her finger.

"How was I supposed to know that that creepy man was their town mayor? It was an honest mistake!"

"Well that's one town we'll never be able to go to." Zelgadis shook his head.

"Miss Lina what's so special about this town? Why is it so important we come?" Sylphiel asked while dusting her cape off.

"Because today is the first day of their drinking festival!" Lina announced.

Everyone collectively groaned.

"But Miss Lina don't you remember what happened last time in Desrog? All of our drinks got spiked and we all were acting weirdly. Even Amelia's and she wasn't even in the bar!" Sylphiel protested.

Lina rolled her eyes. "Yeah but that was because of some mischievous creature that lurked in that area. As far as I know there aren't any here. And besides this is a tamer drinking celebration then Desrog. It's not like we're going to get in there and it's going to be packed with people drinking green ale." Lina opened the door of the local tavern to reveal hordes of people drinking, singing and cheering. And what was the drink of choice...

Green ale.

"Miss Lina!"

Lina shrugged. "Oh well it can't be as bad as the other town." Lina went up to the bar. "Can I have a round of ale for me and my friends here?" Lina ordered.

"Are you kidding me? That little lass there won't be able to handle the ale." The bartender laughed pointing motioning towards Amelia.

Amelia glared and puffed up her cheeks. "I can too handle my liquor! Get me a stein and I'll show you!"

"Alright missy, give it a go." He handed her a stein full of the green ale.

Amelia stared down the ale mentally cursing herself. 'What have I gotten myself into?' She looked up and saw that the bartender was laughing at her. 'He can see that I'm scared. He doesn't think I can do it. Well I'll show him!" Amelia took the stein and started chugging it. She downed the whole thing at once. Amelia unconsciously shook her head as she put the stein back down on the bar counter.

The bartender roared with laughter. "Ah you've got guts there missy I'll give you that!" He poured out a round for everyone. "Happy drinking." He greeted them.

Amelia looked at her second drink. She had only had one but drinking the first one so quickly made her feel funny. "Oh what the hell." And she drank her second drink in the same fashion as the first.

...

Hours later...

"Give me... another... that." Amelia pointed to her mug with a shaky hand to the bartender.

"No sorry there lass I'm reserving my right to limit my patrons. And you my dear have had enough."

Amelia grabbed him by the collar. "Give me another or I'll... I'll... do something real bad... to you." Amelia threatened.

The bartender laughed and removed Amelia's hands. "I don't think there's much you can do to me there miss. Why don't you go back to the inn. I'm sure a goodnight's sleep will do you good."

Amelia frowned. "I don't wanna shleep. Give me more aaaaaaaale."

"I'm sorry lass I'm going to have to ask you to leave."

"Yer throwing me out? Well you know what you can't throw me out because I'm leaving!" Amelia yelled announcing to the whole room. She went to walk but because she was so inebriated that she couldn't walk straight and she ended walking into a barstool. "HEY! Watch where yer going jerk!" Amelia yelled at the stool kicking it.

Those still conscious in the room sweatdropped.

Amelia stumbled her way outside already forgetting where she was going.

A little man dressed in green, wearing a green hat walked along the street humming as he happily handed out green candy canes to anyone that he passed.

Amelia looked over at the man as he handed larger man a candy cane. "Hey that man is stealing that leprechaun's candy!" She stormed over to the two stumbling very much. "You can't do that! That's stealing!"

Before the short man could explain Amelia started pounding on the taller guy.

"OWWW!" The man screamed as Amelia sent him flying into the air.

Amelia grinned. "There that will teach that guy not to do that... thing."

The man sweatdropped. "You know you didn't need to do that. He wasn't steal-"

Amelia cut the man off before he could finish. "Hey those bad people stole your hat!" Amelia pointed to a mass of men chatting away wearing the same hat as the short man. "Stealing from leprechauns is bad!" Again Amelia went storming off.

"No they didn't! I'm still wearing my hat! They're just wearing the same one! And I'm not a leprechaun! I'm just dressed like one today!" The man yelled trying to get Amelia to listen.

But it was no use Amelia was on the war path. "FIREBALL!" Amelia yelled shooting a fireball at the innocent crowd.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" They all screamed being sent flying away like the other guy.

"Really miss you need to stop that!" The man in green pleaded with her.

Off in the distance two men were walking holding a giant pot of gold pieces. "Wow we sure got a lot of money with that charity drive!" One man told another.

"Hey! Those two crocks stole your pot of gold Mr. Leprechaun!" Amelia pointing to the next two unsuspecting targets.

"No they didn't! That's not mine!" He yelled at her.

Again Amelia wasn't listening. "Stealing is bad!"

"Run for your lives!" The man in green screamed trying to warn everyone. "She's crazy she'll kill you all!"

...

The next day...

Amelia woke up with the largest headache. Her head felt like it was being bashed in by a hammer. The room was thankfully very dark but still not dark enough for her sensitive eyes. "Where am I? What happened?" Amelia asked out loud.

"What happened? You really want to know what happened?" An extremely loud voice said from afar.

Amelia looked up blinking seeing Lina's face. "Miss Lina? What's going on? And why are you talking so loud?" Amelia covered her ears.

"I'm not talking loud. And if you want to know what's going on take a look around yourself."

Amelia looked around and finally noticed where she was. The floor and walls was stone and it was dirty, there was a small bed in the corner of the room and where the room opened up it was covered in bars.

"You beat up half the town and you got your drunken ass thrown into jail. Apparently you were rambling on and on about a poor leprechaun that was a target of mass injustice." Lina answered with her arms crossed which was a match to her expression.

Amelia sweatdropped. "Oh. Sorry...?"

Lina rolled her eyes and started walking away.

"Where are you going? You're not going to leave me alone here are you?" Amelia yelled in fright.

Lina didn't answer, she just muttered something about Amelia being a royal pain in the ass.

"MISS LINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
