As all the crowds came in, we each hahem a piece of the scarf and some equipment, then ahem all into ses. We brought food and drinks for everyone, and soon after that, the festival was on its way.
People ughed, danced and drank to their heart's tent. People of all ages were gathered here to enjoy this event. The screams of excitement and joy got so intehat some people who had chosen to spend this st day of peace at home soon started to join us.
It was extremely hard keeping everyone in order as arguments broke out again and again, with kids getting lost time and time again. But thanks to Orb, Elliot, and the rest of the housing staff w their butts off, we were able to keep things under trol, if only just barely.
“Atanta, I think we might actually die at this rate, Suzuka has colpsed over there from mental and physical exhaustion, and Cyrus ’t handle all these people toug him out of fasation.”
“What, are you chiing out?”
Fired up Orb says, “Not on your life.”
How easy to manipute. “Hey Atanta, I am sorry for making you do all this work, I know you wao have fun but now you’re the busiest one here.”
“Don’t worry about it, and I should apologize as well, I kept pining that Dush would be a drag, but she has beehing but, I mean look at that smile,” I say pointing over to Dush having versations with people.
“Not only her Atanta but look at all the people who have smiles on their faces, all of that is only doo you.”
Taking a sed to see all of the faces of the people around me, I truly take into at hoeople are here. All these people are smiling because of me. Holding my chest, I feel an intense fuzzy feeling.
“I get it Orb, you are some pervert who gets off on this fuzzy instead of sex; you h.”
“How did you even reach such a clusion; you sex-crazed bimbo.”
“What did you just call me,” I say squeezing Orb's cheeks.
“Oh e on, I doubt it is the first time someone called you such.”
Feeling someone’s arms around my waist, I turn my body around to see Dush.
“Lanta, e with me.”
“Why aren’t you having a lot of fun with your new friends?”
“They want to know all about me, and we 't have Dush without Lanta we.”
“But I still have work to do.”
“Don’t worry Atanta I got this covered.”
“But Orb-.”
“Don’t worry I o get used to dealing with crowds of people by myself, the future I have envisioned for all of us demands it, so just go and party it up a little bit Lanta!”
“Hey boy who gave you permission to use Lanta’s niame, I gave it to her it is only for us idiot, bleh!”
Letting out a sigh, I smack Dush on the head and say, “I ain’t your husband Us, calm down!” Fag Orb I say, “I will leave it to you then, that goes for you two brats as well.”
“Mime she saw us.”
“Anto what are we going to do?”
Grabbing the twins I hand them over to Orb and say, “I trust you.” Walking away with Dush, I see Orb run into the crowd of people with the two brats on his shoulders.
“Hello everyohis utter beauty is my friend Atanta Supernova, the one and only.”
With everyone in high spirits, our rate of work sped up, and we were able to finally bring the bug task to a close.
“DUSH KRITZ, from this moment to the end of time your scarf has been pleted, HOORAAAAY!!!”
“HOORAAAAY!!!” the crowd of people shout.
As Dush walks up to the tower that is her pleted scarf tears start to fall from her eyes. “I hought I would ever see this finished, I truly have had a miracle happen to me today, I finally reach both Krik and Tusk, everyohank you from the bottom of my heart.”
Around the area, as Dush starts to cry, I hear someone say, “So it’s over.”
“I guess that is the st thing we ever do on Skydust.”
“Well, what did we expect, but it was a good one.”
Suddenly I hear someoart to cry, “I don’t want it to be over.”
Then I hear another person start to cry with more and more people following after. All the high spirits that existed in the area before have evaporated, all that is left are g faces.
They have all been so civil, but right now I see it in all their faces that tomorrow they will wake up and Skydust will be mere hours away from a losing war, no matter how strong they try to act it is still hard to face, I don’t even know if it is possible to be at peace with such a thing.
Tapping Orb I say, “Make a ptform of iderh me.”
Having a moment of fusion, Orb's head quickly turns green, then follows my instrus while saying, “You do this.”
I ’t let such happy people, no I ’t let Dush’s special day be ruined by all this sadness. When the pilr reaches its peak, I scream, “EVERYBODY!!”
But I soon realize my voice ’t reach all these people nor it overe all this g. Shit is this really going to end here. In my peripheral vision I see something flying at me, so I catch it. Looking at what I caught I see it is a shattered shell, seeing the dire it came from I see iviumbs up.
He really is a nice child. “EVERYBODY LISTEN UP, THIS IS YOUR LAST CE TO GET TO APPRECIATE EVERYONE IN SKYDUST, SO INSTEAD LIKE CHILDREN GROW SOME MASSIVE BALLS AND HAVE FUN WITH ALL THE WONDERFUL PEOPLE AROUND YOU!!!!”
Catg my breath, I hear people slowly stop to cry until eventually all the g in the area stops. “NOW THAT’S WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.” Looking down at Orb I scream, “GET THESE PEOPLE SOME DRINKS AND THE KIDS SOME DY!!!”
As Orb starts to run around, I yell, “LET ME HEAR YOU ROAR.”
A pathic roes throughout the area. “I SAID ROAR LIKE YOING TO DIE TOMORROW!!!!”
“ROAR!!”
“I ’T HEAR YOU, but I guess sed-rate crafters who live in a sed-rate try do anything right, oh wait my mistake I mean city because you’re so pathetic you don’t deserve the title of a try.”
“ROAR!!!!!!” the crowds utter. But following that are streams of insults towards me.
Looks like my pn worked out a bit too well. But look at all that energy, I think today is going to be fantastic.
For the rest of the day until the sun had pletely disappeared, we partied our hearts out till we could barely even stand, aually, it all came to an end.
“Elliot spread the scarf over there.”
“Right dy Lanta.”
Since a bunch of people fell asleep in Dushes pound due to the party we are using the scarf as a bo cover them all.
“Now where the hell is Orb and everyone?”
“Lady Lanta, they should all be over there.”
Walking to where I am directed, I see Orb, Cyrus, Suzuka, Elia, Iancu, Avram, and the three idiots all huddling around each other, pletely exhausted. From Orb's unscious body, I see tears fall down his eyes, and then I hear him mutter, “Capti, please don’t go.”
“I fet sometimes; he really is just a child.” Getting close to Orb I say, “You did well for a little boy.” Orb's hand quickly moves in and swats my face.
“You’re awake you bastard!”
“Calm down Seiryu, don’t hurt Uathach,” Orb mumbles with his eyes closed.
Orb is still unscious I guess he was just having a dream.
“Lanta there you are, what’s going on.”
“I was just looking for a pce to sleep here.”
“Then e with me.”
“Wait, are you really trying to fuck me?”
“No!!! I just wao know if you want to have a sleepover?”
-Break-
Laying in bed with Dush beside me I say, “This scarf really is long, even after c everyo still lead ihe house and cover us.”
“Hehehe, don’t plimeoo much.”
“Isn’t that what friends do, plement each other.”
“Well, you’re the popur one so you should know.”
“I am popur, but to be ho Atanta Supernova has no friends, to be ho, the only real friend I would have is you.”
Making a sniffling sound Dush says, “Really.”
“Thanks so sad, isn’t it Mime.”
“Very muto.”
Jumping up from bed, I say, “Wait, Mime? Anto? Are you two here?”
“Mime is right beside Dush.”
“Anto is here beside Lanta.”
“How the hell did you get in here?”
“We’re thieves.”
“LEAVE!”
“No, it is cold outside, I would rather snuggle up to Lady Dush.”
“Mime do you really like me that much?”
“Thieves rule number 1; if someone feeds you, they are family from that point on,” Anto says.
“So Dush from this point on Mime and Anto Baudeire, are your family members.”
“Thank you both, that is very cute.”
“But you still o go brat.” Hearing no response, I turn my face towards hers, but to my surprise, I see her sleeping, “WHAT THE HELL!”
Anto beside me says, "Thieves rule number 2; You must know how to fall asleep at will.”
“Teach me that skill.” Looking down I see Anto has fallen asleep, “That’s abht.”
Laying ba bed I say, “I should have known this was going to happen!”
“Lanta you really are worked up!”
“How else am I supposed to feel about those two brats!”
Letting out a ugh, I say, “I know what you mean kids be plex yet simple, a real struggle and one of the many failures of my life is uanding them.”
A moment of silence follows Dushes words, then after a little bit of time I say, “You don’t o be so hard on yourself.”
“You know Lanta, I had been wishfully dreaming up until now, that my scarf will be pleted, that I could unite people with it, that I will be able to befriend everybody, that I might be able to so everyohe greatest Dush Zalik.
I have always knowe my dreams or hard work that the reality of that robably low, but thanks to you guys I was able to fulfil that dream and I have nothing else but thank you to say for all of this.”
“Well, you keep your thanks sihis isn’t over yet, we still have to show Tusk your scarf, and you still haven’t been able to show all of the people of Skydust how freakin amazing you are, those stories you told me gave me chills.”
“You really are so sweet Lanta, but you know what is happening tomorrow.”
Another moment of silence sweeps the room which is ended when I say, “Us, leave Skydust and e with us.”
“Lanta, I ’t-.”
“Wait a moment, I just want to say you aren’t inally from here and there is still a lot left for you to do. I am not saying abandon this pce forever, but I am just saying e with me aurhings get better, I am sure Orb and everyone will love your presence. So how about it?
“Ok, let's go and have a great adventure.”
“From the depths of the o.”
“To the top of the heavens.”
“We will gain lots of things.”
“And recim that which we have lost.”
“We will take the Kritz busio eveer heights.”
“Then drown ourselves and the poor in Lupas.”
“We will eat and drink till we die.”
“Then we will go baore.”
“No worries.”
“Just two best friends enjoying life.”
“Sounds fun, doesn’t it.”
“Super fun.”
“Well, then we should rest up.”
As I rustle into pce Dush hugs me from the bad says, “I always wao have a sleepover with a friend, thank you Lanta.”
“Me as well, goodnight Us.”
“Goodnight, Lanta.”
During that night all the people who rested uhat scarf felt a strange phenomenon happee being outside and in the cold only covered by thin pieces of cloth, they still all felt warm. It was as if all their warmth was shared with each other.
