Summary: A Lina/Gourry songfic, set just after the end of Slayers Next, based on the song "Picture Perfect" by Angela Via. :)

PART ONE
~~~~*~~~~
Now baby we've been friends
For such a long, long time
We've been through laughs and we've been through cries
But lately have you seen
The way my tongue gets tied
Can hardly speak when I look into your eyes

Heaving a satisfied sigh, Lina gobbled up the last bit of her formerly huge pile of food (while the innkeeper sobbed in the corner about how she was eating him out of house and home) and happily leaned back in her chair. "Now that Phibrizo's finally been dealt with, I guess life can get back to normal, huh?" She grinned across the table at her blonde companion.
"Yup!" Gourry smiled back at the petite sorceress. Then he blinked. "Uh, who's Phribi---Phibiz---er---who's that?"
"Aarrghhh!!" Lina glared at him, frustrated. "Don't you ever remember anything, jellyfish brains?!?" Leaping clear across the table, she pounced on the hapless swordsman and began pummelling him furiously.
Just then, Zelgadis decided to wander by, cup of coffee in hand as usual.
The chimera raised an eyebrow at the situation in front of him. "So, Lina…finally decided to show Gourry your true feelings, eh?"
"Huh?" Lina stopped hitting a rather flattened Gourry for a moment to stare up at Zelgadis in confusion.
And abruptly realised that while whacking the life out of the blonde swordsman, she'd somehow ended up sitting in said swordsman's lap.
Letting out an ear-piercing shriek, Lina leapt up as if she'd just found out that she'd been sitting on a basket full of slugs. "N-no, Zel! It isn't what you think…!!"
Zelgadis simply looked back at the flustered girl, his mouth twitching slightly.
A voice came from the squashed blob that was Gourry – "Oi, Lina, what's Zelgadis talking about?"
Trapped between a smirking Zelgadis and a clueless Gourry, Lina, red-faced, looked from one to the other, and took the only course of action she could think of.
"FIREBALLLL!!!!"
