-Tolsa Village-

    The small little village had been more festive then usual. Most of them had game stands set up as well as merchant stands for people to buy. But what had really excited the people the most had been the variety of food stands.

    The smell and the aromas had practically made everyone's mouth water, almost as if they could eat the smoke right out of the air.

    The residents, as well as their guests of the Ideale Paradise, had been ready and prepping for the festivities. With the help of the Vacation Club, everything had been going smoothly.

    Prism had a look of awe as she watched Jareth and Iwan work their magic; she had been helping out with the cooking and prepping. She had on a casual brown dress with an apron.

    "This is all amazing!" Aine said, as she had been assisting as well, "I can't believe your school comes up with your own festival every year!"

    "Yup!" Aoife said as she had been wearing her own chef's outfit, "No doubt about it, this Magical Vacation Festival is looking amazing!"

    "I can't wait to see the kind of dishes everyone's comes up with!" Alys said as she had worn a casual tropical dress.

    "I'll say!" Seimon said, "I need some new ideas to put on the menu after all!"

    "Hey---" Gian said, "---Less talking, more prepping! We gotta get these dishes ready to serve for all the hungry people."

    "Aw but Uncle---" Chance said as he had on a Hawaiin shirt with casual cackles and sandals, "---The food, the amenities! We have to see them all! And gotta spend that dough!"

    "Excuse me! Hello?!" Jareth said, "This is important for the business I'll have you know! We got our own quota to fill when it comes to the costumers!"

    "Can I at least check out that stand over there?" Kim asked as he pointed to a stand in particular. It had been decorated with skulls that were painted on and not to mention---It gave off a very creepy aura, making most of the group flinch or power walk away from it.

    "That seems friendly." Kim said with a smile.

    "No!" Kiana said in a scolding manner as she had on a casual tropical dress, "Not until you help Jareth."

    "Listen to Kiana kids, she knows what she's talking about!" Ratmir said as he had been dressed like a bartender.

    "Awww..." The kids groaned as they had a pout.

    "...Strange how the Capitol doesn't have this sort of tradition." Brenin said, "I mean considering all the festivities Pluck told us about, you'd think they have something similar to this."

    "Just goes to show you the people in the capital have no taste." Aine said, "I mean granted some can be fun, but what's wrong with having a custom festival like this?"

    "Humans are strange, I can tell you that." Liam said.

    "We're not that strange!" Seimon said.

    "No, just you." Gieon teased, making Seimon glare.

    "Hey, I need some help deboning the fish here!" Jareth said.

    "I can eat it if that'll help!" Theodore said with pink eyes, though it earned a hiss from Shiromori; both had been sitting on Prism's lap.

"Aww your a killjoy." Theodore said.
