Author's Note: So many ideas from you all! But, the only one that proclaimed a winner was Digi-riven, and she chose Filia.

Xellos: You mean you're actually going to let the Dragon WIN?!

Quicksilver: WHY ARE YOU INTERRUPTING MY AUTHOR'S NOTE?!

Xellos: Sore wa himitsu desu! ^_~

Quicksilver: -_-;;

Xellos: Besides, I'm the closest thing to a muse that you have!

Quicksilver: You probably WOULD be my muse if you weren't claimed by half the universe.

Xellos: Who is your muse?

Quicksilver: Sore wa himitsu desu! ^_~

And now, the COMPLETION of the Author's Note: As you can see from the popping up of Xellos, I just don't think I could let that happen. so I came up with an alternative plan!

Zelgadis: You mean just ignore all those who have written and do whatever you want?

Quicksilver: O_O

Zelgadis: What?

Quicksilver: Why are YOU interrupting?

Zelgadis: Because I can.

Quicksilver: -__-;; BACK INTO THE STORY WITH YOU!

For the third and hopefully FINAL try at completing the Author's Note: Zelgadis is kind of right. So, I apologize Digi-riven for not totally completing your request. A special thanks goes to Rufus for speaking the desires of Threshie, and a special thanks to her for her ramblings. ^_^ And now. for the actual story.

Lina looked up from her food to stare at the girl befor eher, "Whaddya mean I have to come back into your story?"

The girl's grayish-blue eyes lit up, "Well, you see, on of my readers has requested that you come back into the story!"

The red-haired sorceress rapped her fingers on the empty (for a moment) table, and she spoke, "Well, THIS is your story right now, ne?"

"Yes."

"And I'm here speaking to you, ne?"

"Yes."

Lina got up and grabbed a plate, beginning to shovel food onto it, "Then I'm appearing in your story and you've honored the request!"

The girl sweatdropped and went back to her computer to type the duel.

~o~o~o~

Filia blinked, "Nani?"

Zelgadis smirked, "You heard me! A duel for the tea! Winner takes all."

Xellos coughed slightly until they both glanced at him. The Chimera hissed, "Yes?"

The violet-haired Mazoku smiled, "Well, you know, a NORMAL duel is never going to get you two anywhere! Filia can't use a sword, we're not supposed to know what guns are, magically you are both about even. I just don't see how you're going to solve anything."

The Dragon Priestess growled, "And you suggest?"

Xellos continued to smile, "I suggest. a taste test!"

Zelgadis shook his head, "No way!"

Filia glanced at him, "Why not?"

The Chimera sighed, "Because it means that you and I have to be BLINDFOLDED! And I don't know about you, but I don't trust him that much!"

The General-Priest pouted, "Awwww, what are you afraid of? This fic's rated G!"

Zelgadis sighed again, "Fine."

Filia nodded, "Okay."

Xellos grinned, "GREAT!"

So he blindfolded them and placed 6 cups on a table. "Filia can taste first."

She did, sipping and saying in a puzzled voice, "This tastes like hot chocolate with marshmallows."

Xellos smiled, "Correct! Now, Zelgadis!"

Zelgadis sipped, sweat-dropping, "Mine's hot chocolate without marshmallows."

"Yup!"

Filia growled, "What kind of taste test is this?"

Xellos chirped happily, "My kind! Now, cup number 3."

The Dragon took a sip, gagging, "Coffee. ick."

"Sure is! You're turn Zel-kun!"

"Cherry Coke."

"Correct. Fi-chan?"

"Dr. Pepper."

"Zel-kun?"

"Milk."

Xellos scratched his head, "Well, it's a tie! I guess you both get to split the tea!"

Filia and Zelgadis both facefaulted, and the purple haired Mazoku sipped his hot chocolate.

Author's Note 2: There ya go! What next?
