❥The Successor of Pixieville.「PopPixie Future Story」

2- The Elections.

Caramel, Rex, and Floxy were sitting in the house of Rex his gang, or whatever was left from that. Rex and Floxy were the only ones that were still living there. Well, and Maxine, but she didn't come home very often ever since the others left. Not too long ago, Narcissa had married Preston, the elf brother of Sapphire, and the couple went to live far away from Pixieville, in a village for elves only.

''Any idea of who the new successor is going to be?'' Caramel asked the two guys. ''Who do you think? Me, of course'' Rex answered with a grin across his face. ''Everyone will vote for me once I reveal my plans about locking up every single pixie and gnome in Pixieville...'' He paused for a second, just to look at Caramel and add: ''Aside from you, of course''. ''...And turn Pixieville into a city just for elves. I'll call it: Rexville!'' Caramel started to laugh. ''Of course. There's finally peace between the pixies and elves, and then you want to conquer the city again''. Rex sighed and fell down on his back on the couch while mumbling: ''I'm just going to try it... I think it's a good idea''. ''Hey... What do you think about this all?'' Caramel asked Floxy kindly. Floxy looked very distracted, and only seemed to notice her question until a little later. ''Hm, those stupid elections are a waste of time'', was what he finally answered. Just when Caramel wanted to respond, the doorbell rang. No one seemed to take any course of action to open the door, so eventually Caramel went to open it herself. Someone had to do it, it wasn't going to open by itself.

Once Caramel opened the door, she saw a person who she recognized all too well. ''Sapph!'' In front of her was her best friend. She immediately proceeded to give her best friend a big hug. ''Where have you been? Didn't you hear the announcement Nymphea gave?'' They went back into the living room together while talking. Sapphire waved cheerfully once she saw Rex and Floxy in the room. ''My manager didn't let me go... but I heard everything! About the elections, and...''. She couldn't finish her sentence, as Floxy stood up from where he was sitting and immediately went upstairs. With a loud noise, he threw the door between the living room and the stairs shut. ''He's been in a bad mood all day'' was what Rex said while watching him. ''It's my fault, isn't it?'' Sapphire asked. She knew he was feeling like this because she was gone so often. Her cheerful mood started to disappear. ''Well, actually...'' Rex began but didn't finish what he was saying as Caramel was staring at him with her 'don't say it' glance. ''I'll talk to him''. Sapphire sighed and subsequently walked towards the stairs. ''So much drama''. Rex grinned while watching her. Sapphire couldn't hear him anymore. Once she was gone, Caramel sat down next to Rex. Finally, they were all alone. The moment where Rex had waited for all this time. With the moment finally being there, he was at a loss for words. He tried his best to come up with something to break the silence.''Hey, uh, Caramel..?'' Caramel waited with replying until he finished his sentence, and thus just stared at him. ''Once I win the elections tomorrow, let's go out for dinner together''. It was supposed to be a question, although it didn't really sound like that. He didn't tell her that he had rent the whole restaurant for this special occasion. He even worked for it as a fair person, which wasn't exactly a thing elves would, and should, do. Caramel began to laugh. ''But what if you don't win?'' Rex hadn't thought of that yet. He just used the elections as an excuse to ask her for dinner, the real reason was far different. Of course he wanted to win, but that wasn't the main reason. ''Well, I... I'll win, don't worry!'' he said, sounding way more confident than he was actually feeling about it. ''I'll take your word for it'' Caramel laughed, even though she didn't believe a word of it. His plan was way too ridiculous to actually work. She then stared at the door between the stairs, there was no sign of Sapphire or Floxy. It actually made her a bit worried. ''I'll go check on Sapph'' she said, then also went upstairs. Besides checking up on her, she could also tell her about her upcoming date with Rex. Thinking about it made her even more excited for it. ''Hey Sapph, Did you kn...'' she didn't come any farther than that. Sapphire sat on top of the stairs, being busy with a cellphone call. ''You don't understand! I can't...! Something important happened ... But ... Okay, I'll understand...'' With a deep sigh, Sapphire ended the call. It was only until then that she noticed Caramel standing across from her. ''My manager called... he wants me to come to an interview right now...'' ''I understand'' Caramel nodded and gave her friend a quick hug. ''Are you going to watch the elections tomorrow? Rex will be taking part aswell''. ''Of course!'' Sapphire replied. ''I definitely don't want to miss that!'' She smiled, and proceeded to go downstairs but paused once she saw that Caramel wasn't following her. ''Aren't you coming?'' Caramel shook her head. ''I still have to do something.'' Sapphire shrugged and just went downstairs, she didn't have any time to spare for waiting.Caramel waited until Sapphire was downstairs before knocking on the door of Floxy's room. ''Floxy?'' she asked. No response. ''Are you there? It's me, Caramel. I came checking up on you''. After a few seconds, the door opened.''Sorry, Caramel. I don't really feel like talking right now'' answered Floxy with a gloomy voice. ''Why don't you come with me to the Molly Moo? I'll bake you one of your favorite pies to cheer you up!'' Caramel offered. She knew how much Floxy loved her cooking. ''I'm not hungry. I just want to be alone right now, Sorry Caramel''. ''But...'' Caramel tried to protest but before she knew it Floxy had already closed the door again. She sighed. She really wanted to try her best to solve the problem between Sapphire and Floxy, but it was a lot harder than she thought. And aside from that, she also didn't have any time yet to tell her best friend about her date with Rex. She took one last glance over her shoulder to see that Floxy's door was still closed, then gave up and also went downstairs.
