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

It was a normal day for Elora.  School, home, sleep, school, home sleep, etc.  Nothing every seemed to happen to her.  Or so she thought (play ominous music here)

While is school, her class was gathered in the field. 

"Hm, sound is slower then light. I care." Elora thought to herself sarcastically.

She looked up at the sun.  Its rays were reflecting off the sky.  Almost looks like a beam of light coming towards you.

"Wait a minute, the sky doesn't reflect light!" Elora said aloud.  But it was a tad too late.  A pillar of light descended from the sky around her, washing her in light.

"DAMMIT!! PUT ME DOWN!" Elora shouted as she felt her feet leave the ground.

Swirls of multi lights flashed in front of her eyes as she was flung through the starry space.  The white light swirled around her as she felt herself spinning.

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

Dilandau was walking down the corridor in the Zaibach ship.  With a smirk on his face, he was preparing to take great pleasure in punishing Chesta for any stupid reason he could think of.

"Hm, maybe for putting too much salt on my food? No.  What about kicking dust on my shoes?  Nah." Dilandau thought aloud.  

Continuing his thinking, he was overcome with shock when a bunch of light splashed down on him.  A minute later, Elora fell on top of him as well, knocking him down.

Dilandau threw her off him in fury.

*SLAP*

Dilandau slapped the person who fell on him, hoping it was Chesta, so he could use that for his excuse.  But it wasn't Chesta.  It was Elora. 

Elora, face red from the slap balled her fists.  She returned the slap, equally, if not more, as hard as Dilandau had done.

Dilandau staggered; shocked that anyone had slapped him back.

"How dare you!" he growled.

"SHUT UP!  I am here in damn science class when a light takes me here and before I even have time to register where I am you slap me!" Elora shouted back.

Dilandau grabbed her and began to pull her, struggling, down one of the corridors.  Elora had had enough.  She landed a well-aimed kick at Dilandau.

Dilandau let go, in pain.  Elora started to furiously stalk away, be she ran right into Gatty. 

Elora froze, her mind racing. 

Wait a minute, Gatty?  He is a cartoon character, why the hell is he here?  Does that mean that the person she kicked was…?

Elora turned.  There is no mistaking the swa* hair. 

Standing with her mouth open, she felt herself being grabbed and pulled somewhere.  Elora remained rigid.

She soon found herself in a dungeon.   She was thrown in it. 

It was a small cell, with a single toilet and bed in opposite corners. Dilandau entered alone, looking ready to beat Elora.  He locked the cell's door behind him so she couldn't escape from the beating Elora was going to get.

"You… kicked… me…"he said slowly and dangerously.

He raised his hand, ready to strike her.  Elora kicked out and caught him in the stomach.   Elora decided then and there, as strong as he was, she refused to listen to him and take orders from him.  No matter how dangerous and powerful he was!  Furious, he wheeled around and flung his fist at her.  Elora ducked, but tripped backwards.  But when Dilandau punched out, the keys in his hand flew loose, and landed in the toilet.  And when Elora fell backwards, she fell in the handle of the toilet, flushing it. 

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" screamed Dilandau.  The toilets have no plumbing, but open up a tiny hole for the, uh… 'recycled food' to pass through, falling to the ground below.  They were a couple hundred feet above a mountain range, so the sight of the small key was soon lost.

"CHESTA!  GATTY!" he screamed out.  He heard them at the other side of the cell door, completely solid except for a small cage to deliver food to, and a small 1-foot by 1-foot 3-inch thick window.

"Get the spare keys!" he shouted, glaring dangerously.

"We have none, you asked that each cell be made only one key," Gatty said, taking a step back.

'Well break down the door!" shouted Dilandau, as if this was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Um, sir?  The doors were made of solid titanium, steel, and diamond by your request so no one can break out," Chesta said.

"WELL FIND THE KEY THEN DAMMIT!!!!!!!!" Dilandau screamed.

"YES SIR!" the two Dragonslayers said, saluting.

They both hurried off.

Once they were out of hearing range, Chesta said to Gatty, "Personally, I am glad he is locked in when he has this bad of a mood."

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

A few minutes later, Chesta returned to the cell.  "We have halted the ship and begun the search, which may take weeks.  But we have ordered a lock smith the form a new key, but he warns that this will take one week to complete."

Dilandau let this sink in.  He was furious.  He glanced at the girl, who was looking equally as furious.

"Stuck with her for a week," he thought darkly.

"Stuck with him for a week," Elora also said darkly.

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

That night, both were getting sleepy. They eyed the one bed, then each other, and both made a mad dive for it.  The both landed on the same side.

A giant rustle took place as they each tried to push the other off.  In the end, they both had half the bed.

"I refuse to move," Elora said stubbornly.

"So do I," said Dilandau.

The bed was big enough for both to fit with an extra 1/2 a foot of room on either side each.

Just before Dilandau went to sleep, a thought struck him.  This was the first time he ever met anyone like him, who refused to give up.  And as much as he despised the girl, it felt good.

 End of Chapter 1

* The reference to swa hair is a term my ex-friend Carol came up with.  It was her was of describing Dilandau's hair. 

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

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

Carol and Elora surround me, I am huddled in a corner.

Carol cracks her knuckles.

"So, use MY word in your story eh?" she said, glaring at me.

"Have me get slapped and stuck with Dilandau eh?" Elora said, looking equally as evil.

"Heh heh, I um… I… HI DILANDAU!"

They turn I run.  Safe! For this chapter at least. 

'Hoy boy, Elora's gonna kill me…'
