Children of the Egyxos Fairy

A discussion between friends

Ra: Have all of the teams been sorted?

Cleo: Indeed

Granted the boys had more on their side, but we girls had plans for the opposing team.

Stella: How is this fair? There are only three of us and a lot of them, care to explain yourself to me Cleo.

Cleo: I will . . . in due time

Osiride: Let's go over the rules again to be safe. No technology or other such mechanical items are not to be used and transforming into your super forms is strictly off limits to help you or for your team for the Prank war. Even though all transformations have been disabled, with the exception of Cleo since her transformation was due to the result of the bracelet disabling.

Leo: Then why hasn't she been disqualified?

Cleo: Even though I have been transformed into my fairy form, Ra has taken away the powers of all my stones to make this war fair.

Leo: But you can still fly

Cleo: Ra has taken that capability away from me as well.

Leo: Prove it

Cleo: I can barely get two centimetres off the ground before collapsing back to the ground. That should be a good enough indicator that my flight has been disabled.

Seth: Let's get back on track here

Iside: Agreed! Would you do the honours for us Ra?

Ra: Certainly, let the pranks wars . . . begin!

And it was the beginning of a long week of pranks.

Stella: What's the plan?

Neith: Follow me

June: What on earth are they doing?

Smoky: Who knows?

June: Whatever they're doing, I don't want to take part in it

Smoky: It looks fun

June: As if! They're all just being babies playing these games, I'm a grown up

Smoky: Child

June: What was that?

Smoky: Nothing

June: Better hope so

Smoky: Phew

~ ~ ~

Leo: I wonder who the winning team is

Cleo: It will certainly be a surprise that's for sure and I'm glad that Ra has given us our powers back when we came in

Leo: That . . . I can agree with

Neith: Do we have a winning team Ra?

Steven: Yeah, do we?

Ra: And the winning goes to . . . the boys

Boys: Hooray!

The girls had mixed reactions to the news and Cleo storms out in a fit of rage. She turned on the dancing machine and when putting on the bracelets, she got the shock of her life. She took the bracelets off and looked up at the balcony.

The boys were laughing and Cleo dawned her shadow's outfit. She zoomed to the middles of the vast desert and let out some pent up frustrations. The prank wars had already ended, so why did they need to rub it in her face.

Anubi: You could've taken that a lot better.

Cleo: Did you boys have to push it?

Anubi: We would've thought you could find it earlier

Cleo: It didn't help that I found it after losing the prank war

Anubi: Grow up, Cleo. Why are you acting like such a child?

Cleo: As far as you're concerned, I am still a child. Just . . . let me wallow in my own despair for a while and I'll be sure to come home

Anubi: It was just a prank

Cleo: And YOU didn't have to add insult to injury!

I open my eyes to see a stunned Anubi and I look around me to see what he was looking at. Turns out he was looking at me the whole time. I guess that we never had a serious argument like this in forever . . . or ever, to be exact. I only remained silent and flew back home to see how everyone was doing in the prank war after math.

Cleo: How is everyone?

Kefer: Pretty well, where's Anubi?

Cleo: I left him out in the desert

Exaton: Are you sure that was wise?

Cleo: He'll be fine, he can handle himself

Kefer: If you say so

~ ~ ~

I was surprised to see Cleo helping the others after I had seen her in such a bad mood. I didn't dwell on that long, since I was called to help with something on the other side of the pyramid for someone.

Exaton: Are you feeling alright, Anubi old pal?

Anubi: Oh, yeah. Cleo is just . . .

Exaton: Something else

Anubi: Something like that

Cleo: You two talking trash

Us: Gah!

Cleo: Sorry, I better get going. I'll see you later, Anubi.

Anubi: See you later, Cleo

As Exaton and I continued to walk and do our job, I continue to be lost in my thoughts as Exaton continued to talk.

Exaton: Anubi!

Anubi: Huh, what?

Exaton: How do you find your marriage so far?

Anubi: Fine . . . I guess. What'd you expect?

Exaton: Why you and Cleo work so well is beyond me, even in the most . . . recent of events.

Anubi: Thanks . . . I guess. Why did you ask the question anyways?

Exaton: First of all, you're starting to sound like your wife and secondly, I'm curious as to how you guys seem to work

Anubi: I wouldn't say that we're perfect, she yelled at me for the first time in forever

Exaton: What about?

Anubi: She found the shockers in the bracelets of her dance game after the prank war was over

Exaton: That was funny

Anubi: Not to Cleo it wasn't, she was furious when I had found her blowing off some steam in the desert. Trust me, that woman is hard to please

Cleo: I heard that, Anubi!

Anubi: Sorry!

Exaton: You two so deserve each other

Anubi: Shut up
