Chapter 16

    After Lotus into the RV, were the rocking motion was nullified, Crystal was able to go back out once her sister was resting.  Heading out onto the deck, she was expecting to get wind blasted in the face, but was instead was met with a slight breeze, despite the fact that the sails were billowing like they were tornado powered.

    Heading to the steering house, she found Yuvraj holding the wheel, talking to someone on the phone.  Giving him a minute, she waited.  After a few, he finally hung up, "Alright, we have permission to land."

    "Who was that?"

    "Well, Clyde's brother, more or less.  Sworn brothers to be precise.  He's gonna let us land the ship in his lake, and set up the circus in his field, so we won't have to drive around to much this time."

    "Clyde knows to many people."

    "Yeah but it helps greatly.  I've been able to get around the world much easily than one usually would thanks to him."

    "And you travel to much, not that it's a bad thing."

    "Then how is it to much?"

    "Fine, anyways, I've been thinking, what exactly is it I should do while we're there."

    "Face painting is always an option, and you're most certainly skilled enough for it."

    "I mean something a bit more than a simple little booth.  Like can I perform?"

    "Well, you're able to create things with just the flick of a brush, pencil, pen, ink brush, a piece of chalk..."

    "Alright, I get it.  I can do a little show with it art, but what exactly, I haven't exactly thought of anything to rehearse for."

    "Have you seen me rehearse at all for anything?"

    "Um, no actually, but then again you've been busy, with me, my siblings, and now your own twin."

    "Yes, and before that, I only fiddled around with my magic before I went on stage, nothing serious.  My constant use of magic is enough for me to do this with out worrying about slipping up, and when something unexpected happens, I improvise."

    "Seriously, don't you do that enough when you're not performing."

    "I wing it with a lot of crazy things, and you know my sister, so tell me I don't improvise a lot with out cause."

    "It all makes sense now."

    "Cut the sarcasm already.  Hey you wanna try driving?"

    "What really, hand over that wheel.  Captain Crystal is in charge now."

...

    After a few days of sailing, they were finally over Ireland, and were slowly descending towards the lake below.  As they made contact with the surface of the water, the cloud flouted off.  Everyone was in motion getting ready to get off the boat, when some came running down the doc, followed by people with hair redder than Crystal's undyed streak.

    Everyone took notice, like a wave over the ship, and everyone watched as the man was trying to swim away from the midget men, jumping around like grasshopper after him.

    Letting out a heavy sigh, Yuvraj pulled out a card from his pocket and tossing it out onto the dock in front of the group of leprechauns, in a little puff a smoke, a small army of black cats appeared, and seeing them, the little men all turned and ran, trying to get away as the cats chased after, trying to cross their paths.
