*breathes* ANOTHER UPDATE YOU GUYS! Am I on a roll, or what? ... This is more of another filler-ish where dorks of Odd Squad are dorks. I love them. And the way I'm portraying them. Because who can say these dorks are OOC when they're all clearly loopy and loony to begin with? Plus, I think after Long Dian... They've mellowed out and become more "outgoing" maybe. Who knows? *whistle whistle whistle* nothing to see here, carry on. Enjoy this filler. THERE'S BOUND TO BE PLOT ADVANCEMENT SOMEWHERE OMG!

Cookies for the quickly updating writer-chan or not? Reviews would be better. Egoooooo rawr!

Seriously though, how awesome is it that I'm getting plot ideas at least twice a week?

Oh I just can't wait... Till this story ends... *Lion King singing* nuuu I don't want it to end. But I admit, ideas for the last chapter are pouring in and I'm slowly writing it. Good job me! Guys, I am dedicated to this story, ok?

New chapter, now.

"I do not want to do this anymore." Prince wailed and exclaimed as he signed a bunch of letters, indicating he approved the budget for each of the Odd Squad members and the other helpers of the festival. "This is just insane and the work never ends!"

Lolidragon glanced up from her area in the lounge room, where they were situated and doing their own things here and there with little to no communication except to ask each other's opinions. "What is it now?"

Prince raised up his feathery pen, which was designed to look like one of those old style one people used back in the days. "You said I didn't have to do much today... but you always end up lying and I end up falling for it every time. Do you even know how many formal letters are here?"

"Last time I checked? Five hundred and thirty. Infinity City has a lot of prospect helpers."

Prince groaned. "The festival is less than a month away, Lolidragon. We have everything under control so why do you all insist in making me suffer?"

"Because," she snickered. "We like to see you crack under pressure. I do at least. It's quite entertaining, your highness."

"Shut it." He threw her one of his pens which she dodged expertly.

The thief rolled her eyes. "Great aim you have there."

"Thanks. I learned from the best."

"Of course you did." She nodded. "Hey! Wait! Are you insulting me!?"

Now Prince was the one to snicker but was cut short by shouts of; "Mama! Mama!" Apparently Doll had finished whatever she was doing for the day and the necromancer had set out to find the owner of the pet Meatbun she had taken care of for the past few weeks.

"Doll apologizes for interrupting." She said as she walked in, chasing after the Meatbun who had now snuggled into Prince's arms.

"Ah, no worries Doll. I assume you're done for the day?" Prince pat the Meatbun's head, who was now squealing happily.

"Doll came to report to Lolidragon and to give back Meatbun to Prince." She said with a smile.

"Let's hear your report then." Lolidragon stated. And as Doll went on and on about this and that, the pet meat bun was having a interesting conversation with its owner.

"Meatbun stay with mama now?" The pet chirped happily. "Meatbun missed mama!"

Prince gushed and squealed, hugging it to pieces. "Mama missed you too!"

"If I didn't know who you are outside of the game," Lolidragon said with a raised eyebrow, "that would be the most weird thing I have to see every single time you do it."

{*Feng Wu Qing's unneeded annotation* "she's a tranny!"}

The necromancer smiled. "Doll thinks it is amazing how Prince-gege treats his pet. Love and justice prevails!" She gushed.

"I have no clue what you two are even talking about." Prince said as he checked to see if he had any meat buns in his food pouch for his pet to eat. It turned out to be he had nothing to offer to his pet.

"Awww no worries mama," it chirped. "I just want to spend time with you."

"Meatbun!" Prince was wailing tears of joy, and Lolidragon stared in confusion.

"This gets weirder and weirder." The thief said.

"Never get in between a mother and her child!" Prince chastised her.

Lolidragon sighed.

"Here. I don't know what you got, but Yu Lian will seriously flip out if she sees this." Feng Wu Qing tossed the small wrapped box he had received in town towards Sunshine. He whistled as he also passed him a receipt. "7,000 copper coins? Sheesh."

Sunshine took the box and the receipt and quickly hid them inside his inventory. "I already went and explained, besides this was money I saved up myself. She has no business interfering in what I do, only Prince and Fair Sky do."

"Don't let her hear you say that!" The warrior stated. "She's insane when it comes to spending money. She scolded me over something I bought last week and I'm not even part of the Odd Squad!"

"Are you not an ally?" Sunshine asked confusedly.

"Not really," Feng Wu Qing stated, waving his hands and glancing left and right. "I'm just here to see what idiocies my sister lands in next." He whispered and laughed.

Sunshine simply stared.

Gui happily raised the glass of alcohol in his hand and clinked it against Ugly Wolf's glass. They were situated in one of the cheapest, but also the most known for having fancy beverages, bar in Infinite City.

"You seem cheerful today." Wolf said as he took a sip of his wine. "Dare I ask why?"

It was rare that they would get time off like this, and even rarer for them to have time to spend together just talking. These days, it was all about work, work, festival preparations, more work, Odd Squad training, and the rare moments of silence like this.

"His highness was the most pleased with the flowers I placed in his room." Gui said happily. "He always mentions how beautiful they are and how great they smell."

"He doesn't know they're from you, does he?" Wolf quickly replied, taking another swig.

"I doubt it," Gui retorted. "But I don't care! His royal highness is happy."

Wolf nodded. "Which means here you are, happy as well." He glanced to the bard, who was now on his second glass. "Don't get drunk now."

"I won't get drunk. Without his highness, it would be pointless."

"I'm not even going to respond to that." Wolf said, "let's change the topic."

"What to?"

"Yu Lian wanted me to ask you what else have you done besides tending to the garden."

Gui tilted his head confusedly. "I had to do something else?"

Wolf groaned. Their suspicions were confirmed, and for a genius of a 200 IQ, the bard was absolutely forgetful over everything else when it came to the elf he was smitten with. He would be lying if he said he wasn't worried.

As the dao was handed back to him, Prince held his breath.

With shaky fingers, he held on to the hilt of the sword he was used to and would almost shed tears for the second time that day. If Lolidragon wasn't checking on him, that is.

Exhaling, he hummed happily and began to place himself as if he was in a exhibition match and unsheathed the sword. "And the crowd goes wild!" he said as he took one, two, three steps forward. Each step longer than the last. At the fourth step, he spun around and placed the sword at the front, as if posing.

Lolidragon stared his way and simply asked; "what are you doing?" To ruin the entire effect of the atmosphere. She too had been mesmerized at the sparkling her weapons showed, but unlike Prince, had not been showing off.

"This is why we can't do fun things around here." Prince huffed as he sheathed his sword and placed it in his inventory, glad to have it back where it belonged. He then crossed his arms and pouted.

"You're forgetting who you are."

"This is my domain, and I can do what I want!" Prince said. "What good does it do if I can't relax in my own palace?"

"All hail the prince of the morons." Lolidragon applauded.

"I prefer the term oddities." He said laughing.

"Because oddities is a word, clearly." She rolled her eyes.

"It is when it describes us."

Things we're never dull around the palace of Infinity City, that's for sure.

And this is it for today's chapter. I want to torture you guys, so here is something I have never done before. A PREVIEW OF THE NEXT CHAPTER AHHHH! Snippet only.

"You what!?" Yu Lian exclaimed to the ever organized husband of hers. Who had managed to spend over 2,000 silver coins on wine between him and his best friend. She raised her arms in defeat. "I can't with you guys."

"In my defense," Wolf said, "I wasn't the one who ended up embarrassing himself while playing his guquin and singing ridiculous love ballads."

"Worse," Lolidragon chirped in. "I heard you danced!"

Everyone rolled on the floor laughing.
