HoT

It was beautiful summer day. The forest was full of life, everything was green and healthy. The sky was cloudless and a pleasant shade of blue. But, there was one thing that was could have ruined this whole happy picture.

It was hot.

VERY HOT.

The sun bore down angrily onto the road where the four friends struggling down the dirt road heading west. The infamous Slayers group was in a fix.

"Uggggh!! It is too damned hot out to be outside!" whined Lina as she panted furiously. She was dressed for the heat with a pair of red short- shorts and a white tank top with her hair piled on top of her head; still she was hot as hell's fiery depths.

Gourry nodded silently in agreement, he was wearing some baggy shorts and a white wife beater shirt with his pulled back into a braid, but was amazingly not letting the heat get to him like it had to the others.

" I wish for some soft serve ice cream from home," Amelia mumbled, dragging herself behind Lina and Gourry. The princess was dressed in a pair of short alls and a midriff top all in pink. Her dark hair was pulled back into small ponytail, off of her neck to help to stay cool as well.

But there was member of the envoy that was being eerily silent until..

THUMP!

The three friends turned around fireballs and swords ready, but weren't prepared for what they saw on the ground before them.

Poor Zelgadis still in full traveling clothing lay on his back, passed out cold.

"Oi! What a time to have a heat stroke!" Lina complained as she stood there, fanning herself furiously with small fan she had bought in the last town they passed through.

Gourry frowned slightly and refrained from adding his own comment, slightly afraid that it would cause Lina to get angry at him. Besides that it, it was too hot to argue now.

Amelia blinked slowly at their twitching companion and leaned in closer to inquire if he needed some real help, when she noticed something was terribly wrong. "LINA-SAN! GOURRY-SAN!" she screeched in a panic pointing to Zelgadis franticly.

"Wha-what is it, Amelia!?" Lina said impatiently, glancing over to her friend moodily.

Amelia sniffed and reached up to wipe a tear from her eye dramatically before replying, " Zelgadis-san's hair has melted."
