Today was a good day, Actually this whole week would be joyous!. For this week the Festival of Fools would be going on. It was like a giant week long circus, where the gypsy who were illegal in the country to preform can finally come out, and do what they do best. This city is chosen for its prime location. Gypsy caravans could be seen rolling into the small village, children watching in awe, as words of a different language could be heard in a sing song voice. Gypsy men began to set up camp, stages, and tents, as some townspeople watched with excitement, some detested gypsies. During this time gypsies were able to wander, feel out their temporary home, so as the walked the street, you could see many people taking pictures, or asking for their palms to be read. One was not looking for money thought, but was in fact roaming through the shopping area, which most likely wasn't a good idea, for their way of being thieves. She hummed a song to herself, as she walked. Her eyes danced around to spot a younger gypsy girl crying. About 6 or 7"What is wrong?"she asked"I'm hungry" the girl said. With that the older gypsy nodded"Wait a minute"She went to the nearest food stand."COME ONE COME ALL, WANT YOUR FORTUNE TO BE TOLD?!"people began to gather.

The Gypsies werent the only thiefs in the city. But becouse of them, everyone was on high alert...when it came to gypsies "Dum de dum de dum..." A man was humming to himself, just walking along "ooh..." he noticed a fancy piece of jewelry at a vendor. It was a silver bracelet witha thin saphire line in the middle, going all around it. And lucky for him, a gypsie was right there, so the vendor was glaring at her and not taking his eyes off her...and oblivious to everything else "Yoink." He said quietly, and stole the bracelet, pocketing it "That'll fetch a pretty price" HE muttered to himself, smiling. He then heard the comotion "Fortune telling...oh this is gonna be good" he muttered to himself, and walked over to the crowd, pushing past the people so he could get a front row seat and see just what was happening

The young gypsy smiled as people gathered around. She pulled her hand out of her face"Now you see, a gypsy has many talents...."she said with a flirtatious smile. The men in the crowd started to Ooh and Ahh. "Singing~"She carried a beautiful tone"Dancing...."She added as she rocked her hips a bit and got more whistles"But the most common is fortune, and other unexplained things"She went to the store vendor taking his palm"Oh my!, It seems you will suffer a terrible loss!" the gypsy frowned as people gasped"What?"The store clerk asked"Is it my wife" The gypsy seemed to look closer"No....its something red....and......crispy.."She then kicked on of the legs loose from the vendors small cart, causing it crash to the ground"Oh! How unfortunate!"She shouted gathering apples and bread anything else"Thief!" he shouted reaching for her.Ivory jumped back grabbing the young gypsy girl under her arm"Hey, I only steal what I can't afford, it just so happens to be everything!"and with that she through a smoke bomb down and disappearing.

The man waved his hand infront of his face, smirking, not caughing or panicking like the rest were "Heh...amatuer..." He said, then turned around and left, taking an alley way and turning a corner. After about ten seconds. He came out the other and looked at the gypsie that was running away "She's an interesting one...I think I'll follow her a bit" He said, and then just casualy started walking in the direction the Gypsie was running off too

The gypsy ran, as fast as her legs could take her, untill she neared the comforting caravans, she set the girl down handing her the apples and bread. "Now bring that to your family, by the end of the festival, we will have more food for you I promise. The Gods, Will soon help us also"She said with a warm smile"Thank you Madame Ivory"She said and ran off to her caravan. Ivory stood up smiling, she didn't usually steal, unless someone in her troop asked her too. She looked back to the market place"Won't be walking around there any time soon."she thought as she walked to her caravan,entering leaving the door open. It was decorated in sheer colorful fabric, a canopy surround her bed, purple,red, and orange.She smiled, opening a small drawer."Ivory!" a man called"Yes?"She answered smiling"You are first up tonight, so practice."Ivory nodded and sighed, sifting through her clothes.

"A show? Whats it about? Some sort of dance? Or are you gonna 'curse' everyone in the crowd?" The man asked, leaning on the door frame, arms folded, looking up at the cieling. "You know you're really a cluts, a blind man without a cane could have caught ya...too bad that every guard in this city is currently busy fucking one of you're friends" he said, then looked at her with his eye, smiling kindly. His tone and expresion was kind, but his words were like the sharpest daggers.

Ivory's heart grew with anger"Yes a show,I can't tell you its a secret, There will be dancing, and no, gypsies only do curses on people they do not like, or piss them off, and currently, You are working on both!."She then took a deep breath to surprises her anger"Besides, if they would have gotten close, I could just find a church, and claim sanctuary." She then walked up to him, "And as for my friends, what they do is there business, if that is what you followed me for, you are sadly mistaken, for you will not get it, and if there was a price, you could never afford it!"She added"Now, get out of my caravan before I do something I might regret!"

The man just smiled, looking at her "Well too bad, becouse some people dont give a crap about the church." he said, then smirked "Hah, don't flatter youreself" He said, meaning her thinking he was here to fuck her. "And go ahead, do something you'd regret", he said, standing in the doorway, blocking her

Ivory scowled trying to push pass him"Let me go!"She shouted, glaring intensely at him"Do you get some sick pleasure from messing with gypsies?!"She growled under her breath "Fine You have left me no choice!"She shouted at him. She lifted her arms waving them majestically above his head. "With this sent with this curse, I tend to make you luck worse, power of might, power of fear, I take you luck and leave it here."she smiled slightly"Now you will have increasing bad luck, until I decide to reverse it"She gathered what she needed for the show.", Now MOVE!"She shouted and pushed pass him by knocking him with her hip"Dancer hips"she said smiling and walking away.

The man just ropped his eyes. Though he raised an eyebrow "Hah...dancer hips...right" He said, then grabbed her arm "Lets just get one thing straight" He said, then pulled her over, and slammed her against the wall of her caravan "Curses dont work on the devil" he said, and then squeeze her arm so tightly one could swear they herad it cracking. He then let her go and turned around, walking away.

Ivory closed her eyes tight as she was slammed against the caravan, " What the-"She stopped talking when he squeezed her arm, shouting in pain. Though when he began to talk to her she looked to the side with her eyes shut, as if afraid to see him. When he walked away she took a deep breath" The devil..."she scoffed and walked toward her friend's caravan. ~~~~~~~~~ Night fell and the streets were illuminated with lanterns, as people on stilts and entertainers walked the street. Gypsies were entertaining people. Ivory sat on the stage, all dressed up, in the normal gypsy attire, waiting for people to gather.

That person was amongs the crowds "Hmm...This is a good spot" he muttered. He was sitting on the top of a lamp post. it was dark so no one could see him from down below. But if someone looked from afar theyd see him, beouse the moon was right behind him. He just sat there and prepared to watch the show

As more people began to gather the lights dimmed a bit, making the stage bright and attention grabbing. A gypsy man walked on stage he was rather good looking and girls began to swoon. A Band began to play in the background." Hello everyone, we will be doing a bit of a story for you, watch closely." " Is there anybody that is gonna listen to my story All about the girl who came to stay" At this instance flashes from a projector of Ivory, played. " She's the kind of the girl you want so much it makes you sorry Still you don't regret a single thing... A girl~ A girl~"The music than began to pick up and the lights brighten, and Ivory began to fun and upbeat to the music " I've just seen a face, I can't forget the time or place Where we just met She's just the girl for me And I want all the world to see We've met, mmm-mmm-mmm-m'mmm-mmm Had it been another day I might have looked the other way And I'd have never been aware But as it is I'll dream of her Tonight, di-di-di-di'n'di"Ivory danced around the boy as he looked at her with lustful eyes, wanting her, yearning for her. "Falling, yes I am falling, And she keeps calling Me back again. I have never known The like of this, I've been alone And I have missed things And kept out of sight But other girls were never quite Like this, mmm-mmm-mmm-m'mmm-mmm Falling, yes I am falling, And she keeps calling Me back again
Falling, yes I am falling, And she keeps calling Me back again Falling, yes I am falling, And she keeps calling Me back again"The song ended and Ivory dropped doing a spilt when the song ended, and people cheered and clapped. (( www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mrq11X9rjXQ ))

But unfortunetly. Just to be an ass, the man grabbed a rotten tomato he pulled out from nowhere, and threw it. The tomato hitting the singer right in the face. He then jumped down from the lamp, just so they wouldnt see who threw it.

Ivory looked up as people gasped, and then laughed"Are you serious?!"Ivory yelled standing up, the crowd growing quiet"Maybe we wouldn't have to preform for money, if your Ruler would let my people have our freedom!"She shouted"Silence Gypsy" Ivory raised her fist"Justice, We call this the festival of fools, yet the only fools I see are all of you!"She retaliated. The performance ended, then another band of gypsy went up. Ivory walked off stage with the man.
