Hello there... So, this is the first time I have the confidence to publish something in English, but since it's not my native language there might be some mistakes. I want to improve my English, so please tell me if you find any.
Just so you know, though this is not a romantic fic, I ship Lina-Gourry and Zel-Amelia, so there are slight references to both couples. Also, though this is not a crossover either, there's a reference to Scruffy, the janitor from Futurama (I've been watching a lot of Futurama recently and just felt like including him someway).
Hope you like it :)
*Everything is completely dark. Uneven footsteps reel across what sounds like a wooden floor, and suddenly somebody hits a wall*
Lina:- Ajj... The wall! Damnit, I could swear there was a lamp right here...
*A glass object falls to the floor and breaks*
Lina:- And there goes the lamp! So funny... This is not funny! *hits the wall* Hey! Somebody turn the lights on!
*Lina gropes in the dark with no results, then somebody bumps into her*
Amelia:- Ouch!
Lina:- Hey!
Amelia:- Lina?
Lina:- Amelia?
Amelia:- Miss Lina, what's happening?
Lina:- That's what I'd like to know... This cheap *ss motel... I bet they turn everything off at night just to save a little money...
Amelia:- Are you sure? It was all so sudden...
Lina:- *angry* Well, they didn't choose the best time to mess with me, I was about to go to sleep... *shouting* Gourry! Zelgadis! Where are you?
Amelia:- I don't think they're anywhere near, Miss Lina... Their rooms are on the other side of the house.
Lina:- We must find them! Gourry!
*Somebody else bumps into her*
Lina:- Eh! Gourry?
Stranger:- *in a particularly gruff voice* Albert, the dishwasher.
Lina:- I see! So it was you! Turn the lights back on!
Albert, the dishwasher:- I didn't turn them off in the first place.
Lina:- Then what are you doing in my room?
Albert, the dishwasher:- It's scary up here... I don't want to be alone.
Lina:- ...?
*The sound of a familiar voice interrupts*
Sylphiel:- Miss Lina!
Lina:- What the...? Isn't that Sylphiel?
Amelia:- I'll go check! *runs*
Lina:- Amelia, be caref...!
*Something heavily falls to the floor*
Albert, the dishwasher:- Well that must have hurt...
Lina:- Why are you still here? Go find a candle or something!
Sylphiel:- *getting closer* Miss Lina! I knew I had heard your voice!
Lina:- Sylphiel! I didn´t know you were here too *gropes for her in the dark* Eww... Why are you wet? And what are you wearing, some kind of cassock?
Sylphiel:- It's just a towell... I... I was at the pool.
Lina:- Pool? They told me they didn't have one! What a bunch of...
Sylphiel:- *interrupts* Miss Lina, what is going on here?
Lina:- I have no idea... *smashes the wall* Hey! If this is a joke, it's not funny!
Sylphiel:- I'm scared, miss Lina... These could be the effects of a spell.
Lina:- We need to find the others! *tries to pull Sylphiel's towell* Let´s go, Sylphiel!
*Rrrrip*
Lina:- Umm... Those might have been the curtains.
Sylphiel:- Oh!
Lina:- Relax, it's all on Amelia anyways...
*Two people walk blindly down the aisle*
Zelgadis:- I'm sure the voices came from this direction, but I can't hear anything now.
Gourry:- *worried* Let's just hope Lina hasn't set the room on fire yet...
*A muffled sound stops them*
Gourry:- Hey!
Zelgadis:- What's wrong?
Gourry:- I've stepped on something... *gropes* Wait, I think it's a person... *extending both hands* She has girl hair, maybe it's Lina...
*Squish*
Gourry:- *embarrased* Alright, definetely not Lina... Way too... Umm, "developed".
Zelgadis:- ...Amelia?
Amelia:- *dizzy* Hmm... *regains conciousness* Guys! Is that you?
*An unidentified flying object impacts loudly against someone's head*
Lina:- *severely irked* I heard you, Gourry! Why don't you go and "develop" a brain, you idiot!
Gourry:- Lina, you hit Zel.
Lina:- Oh... Sorry, Zel.
Zelgadis:- *in pain* Why me...?
Gourry:- Hey, Lina, what's going on here?
Lina:- How would I know? Why does everybody ask me?
*Silent pause*
Gourry:- *meditative* Well... It's just that everytime something like this happens to us, it turns out to be your fault.
Zel/Ame:- *at the same time* He has a point.
Lina:- *to Gourry* Oh, really?
*Punch*
Gourry:- That was Zel again.
Zelgadis:- *unintelligible sounds* Abss ah blah...
Lina:- For your information, I never even left my room! The lights just turned themselves off!
Sylphiel:- It's a lot worse than that... You can't even see through the windows.
Ame/Zel:- Sylphiel?
Gourry:- Syl... Phiel... Ah, Sylphiel! Hey, it's been a long time! How are you?
*Another punch, followed by a shrill whimper*
Lina:- *not so sure* Zel?
Gourry:- *in pain* No, this time you got me...
Lina:- We can't just stay here and talk, Gourry! We need to find a way to... To... *grabs his clothes* Hey, are you wearing pajamas?
Gourry:- These? Yes, my striped ones.
Lina:- *all happy* They feel so warm and padded, remind me to borrow them...
Gourry:- *all sad* I would never get them back if you do...
Zelgadis:- *sick of everything* Could you please get serious for a moment? Let's try to think of a solution. Has anybody tried to cast a light spell?
*Silent pause*
Lina:- No.
Amelia:- No.
Sylphiel:- No.
Albert, the dishwasher:- No.
Zelgadis:- ...? Wait, who's that?
Gourry:- *thinking* I can't believe none of you thought of that before, and they call me slow...
Lina:- *irritated* Alright! I'll try a little fireball!
*More silence. Then they all hear the increasing sound of some sort of energy, but everything remains dark*
Lina:- Nope, I still can't see anything.
Gourry:- How can you know if the spell's working?
Lina:- Let's see...
Gourry:- *screaming* AHH! It burns!
Lina:- Well, I guess it does work.
Amelia:- Miss Lina, we have to get out of here.
Lina:- I agree. Come on, let's move!
*Great bunch of noise. Everyone gets up and starts to run*
Lina:- Let's see, here is where the hallway ends! I think there was a corner right... HEY! NO!
*The whole gang falls painfully down the motel stairs*
- Ajj...
- Ouch...
- My nose...
*Lina punches the floor with her naked fist*
Lina:- Damnit! I forgot about the stairs... Is everybody alright?
Amelia:- Miss Lina! I think we're in the garden! I fell on top of one of the statues!
Zelgadis:- That would be me.
Amelia:- Oh... I'm sorry, mister Zelgadis. But why are you shirtless?
Zelgadis:- I wanted to go to the pool...
Lina:- *deeply ofended* Oh, right, they told YOU there was a pool...
Gourry:- *interrupts* Wait a second... So, Zel and Sylphiel have only their bathing suits on, while the rest of us are wearing pajamas...
Lina:- Yeah, so?
Gourry:- Nothing, just checking... None of us is dressed as a woman this time, right?
Lina:- No... *not really convinced* Al least I hope not.
Amelia:- *embarrased* Umm... I'm wearing bunny slippers.
Lina:- Meh, that doesn't even count as embarrasing anymore... Hey! Who's pulling my hair?
Sylphiel:- Sorry, Miss Lina... It's just that you have such soft hair!
Gourry:- Sylphiel, that's me...
Sylphiel:- Oh...
Lina:- But then who is pul...? *gropes* Oh, it's just the doorknob... Hey, there's a door here! *looses enthusiasm* And it's completely locked.
Gourry:- Let me try... *pushes* Hmpf... Yeah, it's locked.
Lina:- Ok, everybody stay away! FIREBA...!
Zel/Gou:- *alarmed* Lina, don't!
Lina:- Come on guys, it's right in front of me, I won't miss...
Gourry:- We know you won't.
Zelgadis: We're just out of money to pay for it.
Lina:- Amelia will pay.
Amelia:- *muttering* I never said so...
Lina:- *bored* Alright then... If we can't blow it up, then we'll have to force the lock. But we need something tiny and sharp, kinda like a needle... *thinking* Of course! Zel's hair! Amelia, pull out a few of those!
Zelgadis:- *ofended* Lina!
Amelia:- Umm... If you say so...
*Tears two hairs out*
Gourry:- Ouch! Those are mine!
Amelia:- I'm so sorry...! Wow, Sylphiel was right, your hair is so soft...
Lina: *slightly jealous* Amelia!
Amelia:- Alright, alright!
*Another two hairs come out*
Zelgadis:- *ice cold* Ouch.
Amelia:- Sorry...
Lina:- Meh, stop apologizing already! Where are you? Oh, there you are... Fetch me those wires!
Zelgadis:- *depressed* "Wires"?
Lina:- *takes a hair and introduces it in the keyhole* Let's see... Just a little bit more to the left...
*Click*
Lina:- Yes! Let's go! We need to find the exit, and then...!
*Everybody falls down another flight of stairs and land violently against the floor*
Lina:- *desperate* Oh, COME ON! How many stairs could these people possibly need?! I'm getting really tired of this!
*A lot of voices whisper in the dark*
Zelgadis:- What... Where are we? Who´s there?
Gourry:- Agh... Can't... Breathe...
Amelia:- Miss Lina! I think you're standing on Gourry!
Sylphiel:- *guilty* Oh! I'm also standing on Gourry!
Gourry:- Everyone's standing on Gourry...
Zangulus:- That voice... Could it be Gourry Gabriev?
Gourry:- *confused* I think so... Who are you?
Zangulus:- Can't you recognize my voice?
Lina:- *surprised* Zangulus?
Martina:- And Martina!
Lina:- Martina! What are you two doing here?
Martina:- Oh, what is so surprising about that? Can't my handsome husband and I go out for a romantic weekend?
Lina:- I don't know... This is one of the worst motels I have ever been to, honestly.
Martina:- Shut your mouth, Lina Inverse! This is nothing but the best hotel in my kingdom!
Lina:- Well that actually explains a lot...
Amelia:- Miss Lina, don't be so rude...
Prince Phil:- Amelia?
Amelia:- Dad?
Prince Phil:- *all happy* Amelia!
Amelia:- *all happy* Dad!
Lina/Gou/Zel:- *all depressed* Prince Phil...
Prince Phil:- *enthusiastic* Forget the protocole, everybody! Come here and give this prince a hug!
Xelloss:- Well, well... What a lovely meeting!
Zel/Ame/Gou:- Xelloss?
Lina:- Oh, not you...
Xelloss:- Uh? Why so mean? You can't even see me!
Lina:- Right, and I bet that is your fault, isn´t it?
Xelloss:- That's a secret.
Pokota:- I hate this guy.
Filia:- Tell me about it.
Lina:- *irritated* Ok, is there ANYBODY in the world that is NOT in this motel room right now?!
Lyos:- No.
Rezo:- No.
Naga:- Oww-hohohohoho!
Lina:- *alarmed* That's it, I'm out of here! I don't care how! Come on, Gourry! *tries to take him by the hand*
Albert, the dishwasher:- It's Albert, the dishwasher.
Lina:- *looses it* WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT!
Gourry:- Lina, NO...!
