****************************************

Elora woke up the next day.

"Why is it so dark in here when it is morning?" Elora thought to herself.  Then she remembered.  Slowly, as if scared of what she would see, she turned.  There was Dilandau on the other half of the bed, sleeping in nothing but his boxers and an undershirt.

A piercing scream traveled through the dungeon hallways, corridors, and rooms. Chesta and Gatty, still in their night clothes dashed to the cell to find Elora screaming at a now awake Dilandau.

"HOW DARE YOU SLEEP IN NOTHING BUT YOUR BPXERS AND A SHIRT YOU SICK PERV!!!!!!!!!  DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW INCREDIBLY WRONG THAT WOULD LOOK IF SOMEONE WAS TO GLANCE IN?!?!?!?!?" 

Elora lifted the bed so that Dilandau crashed to the stone floor. 

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!," Dilandau shouted back. "THIS IS MY PLACE, JUST BECAUSE I AM STUCK HERE DOESN'T MEAN I HAVE TO CHANGE MY WAYS.  LIVE WITH IT!"

Elora and Dilandau were glaring daggers at each other.

"Come on now, settle down," Chesta said, nervously.

"SHUT UP!" Elora and Dilandau said at the same time.

Elora tore her gaze away from Dilandau and looked through the tiny window at Chesta and Gatty.

"Can I get some new clothes here?" she said, almost demanding.

"Yeah yeah, just calm down," Chesta said, like she was a bomb about to go off.

Chesta hurried off, and returned a few minutes later with clothes.  He put them in the cage used for giving the prisoners food.  You put the food in the small cage from the outside.  You close it, and the door to it on the other side unlocks so the prisoner can get the food.  Chesta did that with the clothes.

Just as she was about to change, she froze, her eyes turning into pure ice.

She turned slowly to Chesta and Gatty.

Slowly, and dangerously, she said, "If I catch any of you peeking, when I get out of here, you will die!" 

Chesta and Gatty gulped.  Like Dilandau, they believed she meant every word. Slowly, they backed away from the cell.

Elora, somewhat satisfied, spun around to Dilandau.

"That goes for you too," she growled.

"How dare you order me around?!" Dilandau asked, furious at her nerve.  They began to glare again.  In the end, Dilandau's face was stuffed under the mattress.

In complete darkness under the mattress, Dilandau thought to himself, " I could easily kill her, or beat her down, but why don't I? Is it because she is a girl?"  No, he was never soft with girls.  "Well, at least she is brave."

"All right, I've changed," Elora said, as if she would prefer he stayed under the mattress the whole time.

Dilandau looked at her.  She was wore some Zaibach clothes that was worn for no occasion, for days spent in the ship.  It was some silver loose pants, (Chesta felt that Elora would have slayed him if it were really tight.  He was right) A plain white T-shirt with a silvery-blue vest over it.  Her hair was pulled up into a ponytail.

Elora quickly dashed to the window on the door.  No peepers.  With a sigh of satisfaction, she sat back down.

Soon, Dilandau and Elora heard the sound of a new key starting to be fitted. 

'6 more days,' Elora thought to herself.

Dilandau suddenly spoke up. "You never did tell me how you got inside our ship."

Elora opened her mouth to say it was none of his business, but decided to get on his better side.

She quickly explained to him about the light stuff.

"Hmmm, I have heard of the place you are from.  The Phantom Moon." Dilandau said.

"The Phantom Moon?"

"That is what I said!  Listen why don't you?!" Dilandau said.

'Just as we were getting along,' Elora thought.

********************************************

The two sat for a long time, not speaking to each other until Elora suddenly said,

"I'm hungry."

"Hungry already? It's only noon! You are pathetic," Dilandau said snottily.  His stomach gave a large growl.

Elora was laughing as Dilandau blushed. 

"All right.  CHESTA!! GATTY!!!"

The two Dragonslayers came rushing forward. 

"Yes Dilandau-sama?"

"Food."

"Yessir."

*******************************************

 Later, the food was pushed through the compartment. 

Roasted turkey with garnish around the edges, a variety of cooked fruits, tons of types of spices, salads, cakes, and pies. And a bowl of oatmeal.

Dilandau passed the oatmeal to Elora, and began to eat the rest.  Had he looked up, he would have seen Elora's face filling with rage. She stomped over, grabbed the turkey by its leg, and with a mighty stroke, smacked Dilandau across the face with it.

He flew backwards on the bed, his nose bleeding.   Elora's shouts of rage could be heard on the other side of the ship.

After she had finished, still shaking with rage, she walked over to the food.  In an instant, all the rage disappeared and she was calm and content again.  She picked up the turkey and began to happily gnaw on it.

Dilandau staggered from behind her, holding his nose.

"If you tell anyone the bloody nose is from being hit with a turkey, I will kill you."

It was a hollow threat, and they both knew it.

********************************************

Dilandau had learned his lesson about sharing food.  And when dinner came, he promptly let Elora have some.  She buttered a roll, and began to eat it.

'You aren't so bad once you get use to you," she said between bites.

Chesta, who was waiting outside heard this.

'Why is Dilandau-sama being so different.  He has never acted this way before,' he thought to himself. 

********************************

At nighttime, Elora and Dilandau agreed to share the bed again, but under no circumstances was Elora going to let him sleep in nothing but boxers and a shirt.

Dilandau had new clothes brought to him.

He grinned.  "You probably like it better when I was only in boxers huh?"

He laughed playfully as Elora chased him around the cell.

Gatty, who was just about to leave after delivering the clothes, heard this.

"I don't believe this!  He is joking and playing around.  Almost like he is a kid again!"  He walked away, half shocked.

**********************************

Night overcame the two, none of them knowing that a third person would be joining them in the cell tomorrow.

Me, shocked: CAROL!  They aren't supposed to know that yet (points to the reader)

Carol: oops

They turn around.

Elora and Carol: HE'S GONE!!!
