Ok just a bit adult in here no not lemon. Just hint of lime! I haven't been
able to get this out of my head! A/Z are a tad ooc. I actually wrote this one
before the L/G duet. I might still change some thigns on this. Please R&R.
I don't own Slayers, or anything associated with them. (I want the weapons
though)
I don't own the "Elephant Love Medley" from the Moulin Rouge Soundtrack.
Slayers Duets! Love..Well..Confronted
In the distance a group of wagons and a make-shift stage can be seen. A
young voice full of the joys that life brings is heard singing. "Love is a
many splended thing. Love lift us up where we belong.
All you need is Justice!...eeer Love!" Everyone watching the practice let
their heads hang down and the sweat drops formed. It had been a long
morning.
For a blue skinned chimera it felt like an eternity. 'How? How did I get
mixed up in this? I mean really this song isn't exactly a childs song.'
Looking at the Princess, Zel suddenly felt himself blush for what and where
he was looking. 'Well I guess she isn't really a child. But still how is I
have to do this? I should be out looking for a
cure not singing in some acting troop they all know.' Zelgadis sent his best
"Damn You" glare at Lina and Gourry who were sitting on the grass laughing
at Amelia and himself.
"Ok. Now that Amelia has got the justice tangent out of her system we are
going to try to go through the whole song. Places people!" The director
walks off stage as Amelia and Zel took the center.
Amelia walked onto the stage and stood looking at Zelgadis, she blushed
realizing that she was openly staring, quickly looking away.She couldn't see
him as..a..as what the part of the song he sang made him sound to be, so she
would think of him in her own way. She waited for her cue and then walked
toward Zelgadis, remembering that she wasn't supposed to be shy she was the
one to pursue him.
"love is a many splended thing love! Love lifts us up where we belong! All
we need is love!"She would give this as much strength as she would a speech
for justice!
"Please don't start that again." Zel went through the motions, but
the emotions behind his line wasn't an act. He cringed inside feeling the
positive emotions radiating from the Princess.
"All you need is love!" She sang opening her arms to Zel.
"A guy has got to eat." Zel just knew that he would never live this down. He
reputation was ruined.
"All you need is love!" Amelia looked with longing to Zelgadis.
"He'll end up on the street." Zel wished he could end up anywhere but where
this song went next. He groaned hearing "All you need is love!" come from
Amelia. Looking to her with a coldness he didn't mean to show. "Love is just
a game."
Amelia didn't miss a beat as the music picked up and moved with it to the
other end of the stage, after Zelgadis. She turned red, she couldn't help
it. "I was made for loving you baby. You were made for loving me."
Zel felt himself turn red, with complete embarrassment. "The only way
of loving me baby, is to pay a lovely fee." He stumbled over the lines,
moving as choreographed to do.
"Just one night. Just one night! Amelia cringed inside hearing Zel's answer
to the song. The knew this was all in fun but something just seemed too real
sometimes.
"There's no way, cause you can't pay." Zelgadis tried to make himself relax,
Amelia was looking like something was bothering her. He just kept reminding
himself he has done worse, thanks to knowing everyone.
Amelia was honestly glad this part of the song was nearly over, she could
still feel herself blushing and just turned a deeper red at
that realization. "In the name of love! One night in the name of love!" She
smiled hearing the sound of Zelgadis's voice soften and almost relax as he
sang.
"You crazy fool. I won't give into you."Zel finally decided to to at least
let one of them enjoy this and pushed his loathing back for later. He would
just take it out on Lina when it came to be her turn at this. He smiled to
Amelia.
Like the pace of the song changing Amelia caught Zel's mood shift
some and took total advantage of it. "Don't leave me this way. I
can't survive without your sweet love. Oh baby don't leave me this way." She
looked down, she couldn't look at him and sing that.
"You think that people would have enough of silly love songs." Zelgadis knew
Amelia was well suited for this song, she still
believed in silly love songs.
"I look around me and I see it isn't so, oh no." Her voice was soft now, and
filled with the need to convince him that silly love songs were a good thing
still.
Zelgadis almost laughed at the sincere look on Amelia's face as he sang his
line and finished his part. "Some people want to fill the world with silly
love songs."
"Well what's wrong with that? I'de like to know...cause here I go!" Amelia
cast the levitation spell and flew up to the top of the stage standing there
with arms spread open as the music increased in speed. "Yeah love lifts us
up where we belong. Where the eagles fly. On a mountain high."
He couldn't help it. He had to smile at her enthusiasm. "Love makes sad,
like we are fools. Throw our lives away, for one happy day!" He ran to catch
her as she came down. He could see her clutzing out.
"We could be heroes! Just for one day!" Amelia was starting to really enjoy
this, she saw Zelgadis was too. This was her favorite part.
"You, you will be mean." Zelgadis moaned as the twinkling stars came
to her eyes.
"No, I won't."
"And I, I'll drink all the time." What he wouldn't give for some coffee
right now. Irish.
"We should be lovers!" She stood in front of Zelgadis and pleaded with him
in the song.
"We can't do that." Zel could feel this strike a nerve somewhere. The
emotions he kept hidden stirred.
"We should be lovers and that's a fact!" Amelia wished she could get the
courage to ask Mr.. Zelgadis out on a date, and here she was asking to be
lovers in a song. Her face returned to it's state of red.
"No. Nothing would keep us together." Zel felt this mirror the Princess's
crush on him. He wasn't blind to it. He never had been. Mentally he knew he
would regret this but he would give her his best at the end of the song.
"We could steal time!" Amelia took Zelgadis hand and they both
blushed when they turned to each other.
Together they lifted their voices and unconsciously their hearts as
the duet filled the air. Both voices merging with each other. "Just for one
day we could be heroes! Forever and ever! We can be heroes! Forever and
ever! We can be heroes!" The looked into each others eyes and for a moment
the act was forgotten as both voices filled with power and the announced it
to the world.
"Just because I, and I will always love you!" Her voice held the line
stretching it out as she heard Zelgadis's voice join her again with just as
much power. "I will always love you!" Together their voices faded out and
love ended with each other.
Zelgadis looked at Amelia and smiled to her. "I only can't help it, how
wonderful life is now." He would never admit this but he did have fun and
seeing Amelia this happy was worth it.
Amelia sang the last line with Zelgadis, never having felt anything more
true. "Your in the world." As one their voices faded into each other.
"Great! Wonderful! Now it would be perfect if you two would stop blushing
like a couple of love sick fools."
