Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Really.

Before you read this, I must warn you...Kopii Rezo and Gaav are going to be EXTREMELY out of character. There will be others who will be OOC too but I don't remember who they are at the moment. Also, Kopii's obsession with Richard Simmons originated in Silver Unicorn's fic entitled "Slayers Later On: Chimera's Eternal Revenge," so if the thought of Kopii being obsessed with Richard Simmons doesn't scare the crap out of you, go read it. I also posted this fic in the middle of August because I had an impulsive urge to post it now instead of waiting till Christmas in case you were wondering. Okay, I'm done talking now. On with the Christmas-y Slayers fic!!!

Chapter 1: Party at Filia's!

Filia Ul Copt hummed as she darted from room to room, unpacking boxes and writing a bunch of...stuff...down in a small notebook. "This Christmas will be perfect!" She mused. "There will be decorations, a lovely dinner party, presents for everyone, and best of all, THAT MAZOKU SCUM WON'T BE HERE TO WRECK IT!!!"

Amelia Wil Tesla Seiruun struggled down the stairs into Filia's living room carrying a large cardboard box filled to the brim with lights, tinsel, and ornaments. "But Miss Filia," she protested, "Why on earth would you not want to invite Mr. Xellos?"

"I never did like fruitcake," Filia replied, "and Xellos is the biggest fruitcake of them all!"

"That isn't a very nice thing to say around Christmas, the season of loving, giving, and most importantly, JUSTICE!!!" Amelia dropped the box on the word "JUSTICE," breaking nearly all of its contents, and launched into her most dramatic-looking JUSTICE pose.

Unfortunately Filia wasn't paying any attention and had magically grown fangs and evilly begun to glare at Amelia. "Yes...Xellos LOVES to wreck everything and GIVE me a hard time, and his interpretation of JUSTICE usually involves something getting blown up!!!" She cackled as lightning began to flicker around her head. "HE'LL RUIN CHRISTMAS FOR EVERYONE AND..." Filia stopped. "Hey, something smells like it's burning...ACK! THE ROAST!!!" She scrambled to the kitchen, forgetting about the decorating job at hand.

Lina Inverse was in Filia's kitchen at that moment fireballing the roast (which was obviously the source of the burnt smell). "LINA WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY ROAST???" She shrieked.

"I like it a little well-done," Lina replied, launching another fireball into the oven.

"STOP THAT BEFORE YOU BURN THE HOUSE DOWN!!!" Filia cried, trying her hardest to salvage her dinner. "You'd BETTER not burn the Christmas turkey to a crisp next week or I'll...I'll..."

"Speaking of Christmas," Lina interrupted, "Are you having another huge party? That last one really brought down the house!"

"That pun really sucked," Filia told Lina as memories of Xellos blowing up her old house flashed into being before her eyes. "Hopefully this year will turn out better."

"So who are you gonna invite?" Lina inquired.

"Well you of course," Filia said, consulting her notebook.

"Am I invited too?" Gourry asked.

"Where did YOU come from?" Filia asked.

"He's with me," Lina said. "Zelgadis came over too. He should be around..."

"Well, yes Gourry, you're coming too," Filia answered, "and Zel's also invited. Amelia, Prince Phil, Sylphiel, Almayce, Martina, Zangulus, Eris, Gaav, Valgaav, and Phibrizzo..."

"WAAIT!!!" Zelgadis practically screamed as he dashed into the room. He panted and collapsed into a chair, gasping for breath. "Invite...Rezo..."

"What the heck?!" Lina interrogated. "I thought you HATED Rezo!"

"Who's Rezo?" Asked Gourry.

"Remember, Gourry?" Lina said, holding up a badly-drawn picture of the Red Priest. "He tried to kill us?"

"Oh yeah!" Gourry exclaimed. "He's the one with the red hair and the big sword, right?"

"No, that was Gaav." Zelgadis said flatly.

"Ohhhh! He must've been the short little kid who liked to smash things then!" Gourry guessed again.

"Nope, that was Phibrizzo." Lina sighed.

"Oh, so he was the one who..." Gourry started.

"Ah, forget it!" Lina cried. "So Zel, why DO you want Rezo to come so badly anyway?"

"Well isn't it a bit obvious?" Zelgadis replied, getting up to make himself some coffee. "Last month Rezo and I came to a...well, how should I put it...a sort of mutual agreement, if you will. If I find a way to cure Rezo's eyes, then he promised that he'd turn me back into a human."

"Ohhh..." Lina figured, "That makes sense."

"What were we talking about again?" Gourry interrupted, bumping into Zelgadis, who spilled all of his hot coffee onto the swordsman.

"Look what you've done!" Filia cried, "You've gone and made a mess of my kitchen!" She ran off to get a mop.

Fifteen seconds later, Gourry cried, "AAAAUURRRRRGHHH!!! OWWW HOOOTTTT!!!!! IT BURNS!! OH THE PAIN!!!"

Lina slapped herself in the forehead and sighed. "Well Zelgadis, if you insist, I'm sure Filia would be happy to invite Rezo...just don't be TOO disappointed if he goes back on his word, all right?"

"Don't worry about me," Zelgadis reassured her, leaving the kitchen.

"All right then, including Rezo and myself, that adds up to fifteen guests." Filia calculated. "I think I should be able to accommodate that many people...Lina, could you bring some extra cookies just to be safe?"

"Sure, sure..." Lina agreed.

"AND DON'T STEAL THEM!" Filia ordered.

"Geez, you're no fun!" Lina protested. "I'm gonna go hunt some bandits. See ya later!" She stood up to leave, but as she did Amelia burst into the room.

"Miss Lina, if you truly must hunt bandits, then I have no choice but to accompany you in the name of JUSTICE!!!" Amelia cried, dramatically posing.

Lina's face fell. "All right, you can come if you insist, but you are NOT learning the Dragon Slave!" She yelled, as she and Amelia left the house. Filia remembered that she still needed to make a few purchases for that evening's dinner and took off as well, and Zelgadis, well, we still don't know where HE ran off to.

"Hey, where'd everybody go?" Gourry asked, noticing for the first time that he was the only on left in the kitchen.

Well there you have it...Chapter One is completed. Weeeee. If I get enough reviews, I'll post another chapter, so be sure to R&R, no flames please. I'm new at this and I don't want to get discouraged (or so I say...) Uh...cheese?
