Present…

Filia looked up to see customer walk in. "Hello welcome to Fii-chan's. How... Huh? Oh hello Luna. What a surprise."

"Hey Filia. I just stopped by to check out some things." Luna Inverse smiles

"Oh OK. Well I'll be in the back if you need me."

"OK thanks, Fii-chan" Luna waits till she hears Filia's gone "OK Zelas. I'm going to casually buy something then ask her about. Have you got in touch with Xellos?" Luna said all this to Zelas through her mind

"Good you better not fail. No I haven't got to Xellos. But don't worry. He'll listen to me." Zelas chuckled.

Luna chuckles too. "Well hopefully this works... Whoops here comes Filia. Bye." Luna picks up a vase and brings it to the counter I'll take this.

"Good choice." Filia commented. "That'll be seventeen thousand and forty-yen."

Luna digs out money out of jeans pocket and hands it to Filia

"Arigato! Come again"

"Your welcome. Oh by the way Filia I was wondering if you could do a baby-sitting job for me. I'll be going out of town and I was supposed to baby-sit for this one couple. I won't be able to make could you..." Luna let the sentence trail off.

"Sure I'd be glad too." Filia smiles. "Val is visiting my parents for the week."

"OK great! Just stop by my house on Thursday. I leave then and that's when the baby-sitting job is. 9:00AM." Luna grins.

"OK will do! Sayonara!"

Arigato! Sayonara!" Luna walks out of the store. "Hey Zelas? Heard that? I got Filia; did you reach Xellos yet?"

"Good we got half of it done. Well we might as well say all of it done. I got a hold of Xellos, gave him a good yell for not getting to me earlier. He should be here any minute."

Luna laughs. "OK! I'll be listening."

Thursday night...
Xellos is getting ready for a baby-sitting job… grumbling. "Why would Zelas do this to me? She knows I don't know how to baby-sit!"

"Here you can go through this teleport. It's quicker. Be nice and don't disappoint me."

"Well of course. Anything you say." He walks to the port. "See you in the next life." He says this sarcastically before walking in

Zelas smiles evilly "Have fun Xellos!"

"I appreciate you doing this for me." Luna says sweetly.

"No biggie. I'm sure your trip is important, being the knight of Cephied and all. And I'm sure you couldn't pry Lina away from Gourry, Ja ne?"

Luna giggles. "True, true. Oh yeah. You can get there quicker through this teleport."

"Oh really? You wouldn't mind me using it?" Filia asks.

"Be my guest."

"Oh thanks Luna. Oh wait let me get…" Filia grabs mace-sama off the counter and stores it in her arm jewelry I'll see you when you get back from your trip." Filia walks in the teleport

"Have fun Filia!" Luna teleports to Zelas's place

"She's gone?" Zelas immediately asked.

"Yeah. Did you see the size of her mace? Well anyway let's focus in on the good stuff. Hurry get the videotape."

Past…

"Oomph! I didn't expect to land so hard!" Filia rubs her head.

Xellos is still grumpy. "I hate baby-sitting."

"Who's there?" Filia stands up ready to grab her mace.

"Filia? What are you doing here?"

"Namagomi? What are you doing here?"

"Sore wa himitsu desu. And by the way how come you're wearing shorts?"

Filia grins. "Sore wa himitsu desu." Then looks at her watch. "Oh no I'm going to be late!"

"Me too. Chat later."

Xellos and Filia hurry off in the same direction. Filia rings the doorbell at the house and notices Xellos behind her.

"What are you doing now?" Filia ask exasperated

"I'm here to do a baby-sitting job. No teasing me either." Xellos stuck out his tongue.

"What? But…" A woman answered the door

"Hi! You two must be the baby-sitters! Xellos and Filia right? I'm Lona Inverse. Come in." The woman motions them to come in. Which Filia and Xellos walk in mutely

"I'm so glad there are two of you." Lona exclaimed.

"The kids aren't trouble but I just like for them to be watched after. They walk into the family room OK this is Lina... she is 5 and this is her little friend Gourry Gabriev. He is 7." She looks over and whispers to Filia and Xellos.

"Don't ask me why they hang out together."

Filia laughs. Xellos laughs too following Filia.

"Hi! Wanna see my fireball?" A small redhead girl asked excitedly.

"I can cut that fireball any day with my sword of light." Gourry Gabriev said mockingly.

"No you can't!" Lina sticks out her tongue.

"Yes I can!" Gourry sticks out his.

"No you can't!"

"Yes I can!"

"Cannot!"

"Can too!"

"Cannot!"

"Can too!"

"Gourry's mama and papa will be with us so if you need to reach them they are with us. Come on so you can meet them." To Lina and Gourry she said: "Stay here for a minute."

"Hai!"

They exit the family room to the living room.

"This is Rowdy and Rika Gabriev. Gourry's mama and papa."

"Konbanwa Rika-sama, Rowdy-sama." Filia and Xellos said alike.

'Since when is Xellos polite.' Filia thought. Aloud she said: "Is there anything we need to know about Lina and Gourry?"

"Hmm, Uh, let's see… Well Lina is trying to learn the dragon slave, so you might want to keep her busy so she won't go try it."

"Make sure Gourry doesn't have any sticks. He'll go chopping at anything. My father-in-law taught him to use the family Sword of Light. Gourry's just gone crazy."

Rika and Lona laugh.

Xellos laughs nervously. "Eh'hehehe. Oh well I guess that's about it, ne?"

"Yeah it is… Oh wait! I forgot to introduce my older daughter. She's 14 she has her little friend over. Don't worry they'll be out of your way. Luna! Luna sweetheart! Come down and meet the baby-sitters!"

Luna mumbles to some one behind her as she comes down the steps. "I tell my mom I don't need a baby-sitter and she goes and does it and does it anyway."

Lona signals to Luna "This is Luna, Luna this is Filia and Xellos. They'll be baby-sitting you."

Luna got a good look at them then turned and grinned at her best friend who is in the shadows. "Oh they will? OK cool."

Filia and Xellos sweatdrops at the look Luna gave her friend.

Lona smiles not noticing the exchange. "You can come out and meet them signals to the best friend Xellos, Filia, this is Zelas Mettallium. She's fourteen too."

A fourteen-year-old girl walks out of the shadows. She has long blond hair and a sophisticated look. She had the same makeup type as Luna.

"Did you say Zelas Mettallium?" Xellos asked swallowing.

Lona frowns. "Is something wrong?"

Xellos puts his hand behind his head and laughs. "No, no, nothing at all! Just this girl reminds me of the beast-master."

Lona blinks. "Well of course. That's who she is."

Xellos faints. Everyone looks at him.

Filia laughs. "Oh don't worry about him. He just is surprised to meet his mistress at such a young age. Well you better get going or you'll be late. Have fun!"

"Huh? Oh yes your right. Jin! Jin darling let's go!" A man walks down the steps and into the living room.

"Konbanwa. You two must be the sitters. Well we'll see you we get back! Sayonara!" Jin says before leaving. The adults leave. Filia locks the door and goes back to Xellos.

"Baka namagomi." She slaps his a face gently Hey wake up.

"Huh?" He looks at Filia. "Filia? Oh yeah… Zelas set me up to this."

"Zelas?" Filia exclaimed. "Luna set me up to this! They are best friends you know they must have had something to do with this."

Zelas and Luna look at each other, then at Filia and Xellos. "What do you mean? We didn't do anything…" They say innocently… then whisper to each other.

"Yet."

"Oh I get it! Luna sent me through a time portal. Sent me back in time.

"Zelas did the same thing. Hope they get a kick out of this." Xellos scowls

"Well what do we do? Leave?" Filia asked shrugging her shoulder.

"How are we going to leave? We went back in time!" Xellos complained.

Luna and Zelas yell together. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??!!!"

Filia and Xellos laugh. "Oh Eh'hehehe. Nothing."

Back to the Fanfictions!
