glompingspree

Eimaj crouched in the shadows, waiting for her prey to walk by. She could hear the familiar footsteps of her best friend Stacia approaching. Eimaj grinned evilly. She swished her tail back and forth in anticipation.

Stacia appeared, walking staff in hand, strolling down the noon day streets.

Eimaj pounced, and in her excitement, giggled. Stacia looked up and noticed the cat-girl approaching her. Her eyes bulged out of her head and she screamed, "NOOOOOOOOO!!!"

*GLOMP*

Eimaj clinged to the poor purple haired Mazuku priestess.

"Hee hee hee!" Eimaj laughed.

"Get off me, you dipwad!!" Stacia fought to dislodge the Nilith from her person, but Eimaj just squeezed tighter.
After totally almost killing Stacia, Eimaj took off down the street laughing insanely.

Stacia stared after her and muttered, "Oh. No"
***************
Stacia looked at the group of people seated on the barn floor. The majority of them, Krillin, Gohan, Duo, Quatre, Chang, Trunks, Goku, and Valgarv, were seated in a huge clump before Stacia, eyes looking up at her expectantly. Piccolo, Zelgadiss and Vegeta were standing in dark shady corners, and Trowa was talking to the animals. Valia and Irequa were standing on either side of Stacia.

Stacia cleared her throat. "I suppose you are all wondering why I gathered you here today and...yes, Gohan?" She addressed the young Saiyan with his hand up.

"Why are we meeting in a barn?" Gohan asked.

Stacia looked slightly annoyed. "It's all I could find on such short notice"

"But it smells..."

Stacia cut him off. "Anyway, it appears that Eimaj has gone on another glomping spree"

There were a series of gasps from the crowd.

"Now, which of you have already been glomped?"

Krillin, Goku, Valia, Irequa, Quatre, Duo and Zelgadiss put up their hands.

"I was glomped twice!" Krillin yelled.

"All right now...what is it, Duo?!" Stacia glared at Duo who was waving his hand in the air frantically.

"What causes Eimaj to go on a glomping spree?" Duo asked.

"Oh, right, you guys are new here, aren't you?" She eyed the Gundam Wing pilots. "Irequa?"

Irequa stepped forward. "Eimaj goes on a glomping spree when she has had too much sugar, watched too much TV, and has been glomped by someone else" Irequa turned the stage back to Stacia.

"Now, who was it that glomped her this time?"

The entire group was silent for a moment then Quatre put his hand up.

"It was me," he confessed. "It's my fault"

Duo hit Quatre over the head with his elbow. "Hey! I glomped her, and you know it!"

Krillin stood up, angry" "WHAT?! You glomped her?! How DARE you?!"

"Well she glomped YOU twice, so I guess that makes us even" Duo crossed his arms over his chest.

"Why you..." Krillin started gathering energy to blast Duo into the next dimension.

"Wanna make something out of it, baldy?" Duo pulled out a gun.

"ENOUGH!" Stacia yelled, a purple aura surrounding her.

Krillin and Duo immediately sat down.

"Now all we have to do is..." Stacia began but was interrupted yet again.

"Feh" Piccolo scoffed. "Every two months it's the same thing. I don't see what the point is"

"I agree with the Namek" Vegeta spoke up. "This is stupid. Why should we have to stay in this barn hiding from a Nilith? Come on, Piccolo, let's leave"

Piccolo took a step backwards. "Are you NUTS?!" I'm not going out there! That girl's a menace to society!"

"Fools" Vegeta glared at everyone. "What's to frightening about being glomped? You're all a bunch of babies!" With that said, he began to head for the door.

"No, Vegeta, don't do it!" Stacia screamed after him, but the only response she got was the closing of the barn door.

"He's a goner" Quatre remarked, shaking his head sadly.

Right away there was a blood curdling scream, and Vegeta came back in, looking rather disheveled.

"Vegeta!" Stacia yelled and ran up to him. "What happened?"

Vegeta slowly began to snap out of his trance. "She-she-she-she...GLOMPED me!"

Stacia clenched her fist. "Why that little furball! She's gone TOO far this time!"

"What are we going to do?" Goku asked.

"All we can really do right now is hope that she didn't glomp Xelloss" Valia remarked.

"Hey" Trunks looked around. "Where IS Xelloss, anyway?"

Stacia, Valia, and Irequa looked at each other uneasily

"Uh-oh" Irequa remarked. "This CAN'T be good"

As if in response to everyone's fears, the barn door slammed open, revealing Xelloss, who had the hugest, evilest smile on his face.

"Oh, no!" Valia screamed. "RUN!!"

But it was too late. Xelloss rushed in and glomped everyone in the barn. Then he took a spot on some bales of hay.

"I feel MUCH better now" Xelloss grinned, his eyes closed, like always. "Have you figured out a way to stop Eimaj yet?"

Since half the people there were still freaking over Xelloss' mini glomping spree, Stacia stepped toward her fellow Mazuku.

"We WERE getting to that before you showed up!" She yelled in his face. His hair waved from the air force, but he remained unscathed.

Xelloss tisked. "My, my, aren't WE touchy today?"

Stacia hung her head. "It's too bad she doesn't just stop glomping when she feels like it, like YOU do"

Xelloss shrugged.

Frustrated, Stacia turned her back on him and beckoned for Valia and Irequa to step forward.

They entered a huddle (like sports teams do) to decide on the best course of action. They were whispering, so none of the others could hear what they were saying.

Stacia pulled out of the huddle at last and exclaimed, "That's perfect!" Now...all we need is bait..."

All three of them turned their eyes toward Duo and grinned.

Duo took a step backwards and waved his hands in front of him. "No way! Why do I have to be the bait?"

"Because you started this whole thing" Valia replied at they moved in on poor Duo.

"But I didn't know...I...stay away! NOOOOOOOOOOO!" He screamed as they leaped upon him.
****************
Duo stood beside the sign on 3rd avenue adorned in Eimaj's favorite color: Orange. His shirt was orange, his pants were orange, socks, shoes, jacket, you mane it, it was orange. He even had little orange bows throughout his braid.

He shuffled his feet uneasily. "Come on, you guys!" He addressed the people hiding behind a nearby garbage bin. "This is embarrassing!"

"Shut up and look cute!" Stacia hissed.

Duo sighed and began to bat his eyelashes. People walking down the street were looking at him strangely.

"That's just creepy!" Valia yelled to Duo. "Stop it!"

Duo stopped. "Well what do you want me to do, then?"

Irequa jumped up and down. "Do the puppy dog eyes! The puppy dog eyes!!"

Valia and Stacia had to hold Irequa down to calm her hyperness.

"Hey you guys!" Irequa yelled, fighting them.

"What is ti?" Stacia exclaimed, highly annoyed.

Irequa pointed down the street. "It's Eimaj! She's coming!!"

"Oh, my god!!" Valia panicked. "We've got to hide! She'll see us!!"

They looked around them, and spotted the only possible hiding place...

The garbage bin.

"No, I'm not going in there, let go of me...mmph!"

Valia and Stacia silenced Irequa as they leaped into the garbage bin before Eimaj saw them.

Eimaj walked happily down the sidewalk, her only thought to glomp people she knew. Then she spotted an orange spot standing at the end of the street.

Her eyes went big and she ran towards the source of the colour.

"Duo!" She yelled, arms spread. She leaped at him, ready to give him a huge glomp.

But she was grabbed from behind and dragged away from her prey kicking and screaming.

"No...must...glomp...Duo...orange...glomp..." She struggled to free herself, then stopped. "You guys smell awful!"

"Yeah, well we were kinda hiding in the garbage bin" Valia replied.

Everyone stood in still silence for a few moments, looking at each other. One of those dessert winds, complete with rolling sage bush, blew by.

Then the fighting started up again.

The three girls grabbed Eimaj and carried her down 3rd avenue, turned at Duncan street, made a left at Chibi road and ran straight down Jackson street, to the city park. They dragged Eimaj to the center of the park where the largest tree in the city stood, and tied her to it.

"Your just going to have to stay there until the sugar is out of your system" Valia remarked.

Eimaj just sighed and resigned herself to her fate.

**************

5 hours later, Eimaj was standing beside the tree unbound while Stacia gave her the ritual lecture.

"...and that's why you shouldn't go on glomping sprees" Stacia finished. "Do you understand?"

"Yup, understood perfectly" Eimaj replied, although she hadn't understood a word.

"Good. And you will never do this again, right?" Stacia put her hands on her hips.

"Absolutely not" Eimaj promised, turning around. Then she called over her shoulder, "At least not until next time!"

And with that Eimaj bounded down the park trail, giggling happily

Stacia shook her head. "I'm cursed. That's what it is, I'm cursed!" She grumbled as she watched the orange speck that was Eimaj disappeared around a corner.
