Lina, Gourry, Zelgadis, and Amelia sat in a booth at a restaurant famed for its tasty barbecue and kabobs. Lina could not resist passing through Peelsa without stopping at its most famous landmark: The Tasty Barbecue and Kabob Haven.
She could already taste the juicy, barbecue-sauce-covered, boneless spare ribs, and flavorful green pepper, chicken, and tomato kabobs.
Just as the entire table was coming close to drowning in Lina's drool, the slim waiter slid over to them, a notepad and pen in hand. "And what can I get for you all today?" he asked. "Shall we start with you, young lady?" He gestured to Amelia.
"Yes," she said, nodding. "In the name of Justice, I shall have the 'Slather Me Salisbury!"
"A fine choice," the wiry waiter agreed, writing down Amelia's order. "And, you?"
Zelgadis leaned back into the leaking cushions of the booth. "I want......a gallon....no, two gallons of coffee."
Giving the chimera an odd look, he continued to Gourry. "What will you be having today?"
Gourry gave the waiter a big, toothy smile. "Two of everything, please."
"Wh-what?? .....seriously?"
Gourry nodded.
"Hooray!" the waiter shouted, victoriously. "Now I can retire!!! And, what would you like, little girl?" he continued with Lina.
Lina abruptly stood up, knocking over a basket of crackers in the process.
"What do you mean, 'LITTLE GIRL'???" she demanded, stepping over Gourry and grabbing the poor, confused waiter by the collar.
"M-may I suggest th-the kid's meal?" he wondered, almost whispering.
Lina growled and threw the waiter across a nearby table and stormed out of the restaurant. "This is one 'little girl's' business that you'll never get again!!" she shouted, shaking her fist.
"Hmm...." Gourry shrugged. "I think she took it pretty well, huh?"

Lina hurled a fist-sized rock into a pond outside the city. She stared at her reflection in the water and threw another rock in to distort the image.
The sorceress sighed. "If only I were....I wish that I could be....well....bigger."
"Bigger, you say?" an elderly-sounding voice wondered, directly behind her.
Lina, shocked and surprised out of her mind, fell face-first into the pond. She stood up with a sudden start. "Don't ever do that again!!!" she yelled.
The old man who had startled her sweatdropped. "Sorry. I couldn't help but overhear you talking to yourself here on this rock." The short man with a long white beard, supporting himself on a crooked cane cleared his throat. "And I have a piece of information that might be worth your time."
Lina thought she saw a purple glint flash across the old man's eye. "So....what kind of information?" she asked, not being able to resist from being pulled in by the promise of something 'worth her time.'
"You see," he said, craftily, "the people in this town tell stories of an enchanted spring-one that makes things, and not just vegetables, grow bigger. A lot of people, even some of the people in the village, say that it's just a fairy tale, a fable, some old wives tale. But, I've seen it. Yep. Dropped my son into the spring once."
"What happened to him?" Lina asked, intrigued.
"Y'ever heard of Jack and the beanstalk?"
"Yes...."
"He was the beanstalk."
"Oh...." Lina paused for a minute, skeptically. Then, "What are we waiting for?? Take me to the spring!!"
