The next morning Filia awoke to find Xellos on a chair besides her bed. 'How sweet of him' she thought. She got up
and went to prepare breakfast. She rememered her dream and shivered 'I wonder what it means.' She shrugged off
the feeling, but in a corner of her head it kept bothering her.
Xellos woke up to the smell of pancakes cooking. He went to the kitchen and found Filia making breakfast. "Good
morning Fi-chan!" he said cheerfully. "Good morning, I'm making pancakes, want some?." Filia said trying to be patient.
"Sure, they smell delicious. I hope they taste the same." he said with his fruitcake smile. Filia began getting angry.
"Arggg just go and wake Val up and tell him breakfast is ready ok." she said. "Ok, no need to get violent." he answered.
Xellos went up to Val's room. "Hey, Val, time to get up." he said softly. "It's early I wanna sleep." Val said. "If you don't
get up mamma won't give you pancakes for breakfast." Xellos said. "Ok I'm up, I'm up" Val answered. He got up and saw
Xellos. "Oh, good morning Xelly-san!" "Good morning Val." Both of them went to eat breakfast with Filia.

Later in Amelia's castle at Saillune...
"Whaaa! Filia-san, Xellos-san! You scared me by appearing so suddenly like that!" Amelia screamed. "Sorry Amelia." Filia
apologized. "It's ok Filia-san, I just wasn't expecting you so soon that's all." Amelia answered. "Oh that, well um, I um,
sorta had a ride here." Filia said pointing at Xellos. "Yeah, I we kinda figured that out." a man next to Amelia said.
"So where's rock boy? Isn't he your lovely fiancé? And who's that?" Xellos asked. "Sore wa himitsu desu." Amelia answered.
They all laughed and when they recovered she added "Zel is right here." "Huh? Him?" Xellos asked pointing at the man
beside Amelia. "Yup." she answered. "So it's not 'rock boy' anymore" Zel said. "Zel I'm so happy for you!" Filia said hugging
him, "you're human again and you're getting married! You must be sooooo happy!" "Yeah! It's great being human again, and
marrying my dear Amelia makes me the happiest man in the universe." Zel said. "I'm so happy too Zel, but I would have
married you even if you still were a chimera." Amelia said and kissed him.
Behind Filia and Val Xellos was practically turning green by Amelia's and Zel's happy and lovely demostrations. He decided
to leave for a while, he could always come back to tease Filia later. Nobody noticed he left except for Val who was getting
bored. 'I wonder where Xelly-san went' he wondered. 'Maybe he'll come back later and we can play.' he assured himself.
Meanwhile Filia was chatting nonstop with Amelia. Zel found himself getting bored, he was not used to 'girly gossip'. He
noticed Val looking bored too and went to him leaving his future wife and the golden dragon to catch up on two
years of not seeing each other. "Hey Val!" he said. "Hi." Val answered. "I'm Zel. Want to go out?" he asked. "Sure." Val
answered.
"So when is Lina coming?" Filia asked. "Lina and Gourry should be here in a day or two." Amelia said. "Lina's going to be
a bridesmaid too and Gourry is going to be a groomsmen." she continued. "How about if now that you're here we go to
get your dress?" Amelia asked excitedly. "Sure that would be great, I just tell Val to..." she left her sentence unfinished
as she turned around and saw that Val was gone. "Arrrrrggggghhh, where's Val? Probably that namagomi took him when
I was not looking, I'm gonna KILL him when I see him!!!" Filia yelled, her tail sticking out. "Filia-san, calm down, Xellos-san
did not take him, I saw Zel taking him outside, probably both of them were bored." Amelia said. "Oh, well then let's look for
them" Filia said.
Filia and Amelia went looking for Zel and Val. They went outside and found both of them, actually three of them if you
counted Xellos who was watching them nearby. Zel was trying to teach Val how to do a fireball. "Hey Amelia, Filia, I
hope you don't mind, I was teaching Val how to do a Fireball." Zel waved to them. "Hi mamma, Zel-san is teaching me
magic." Val added waving too. "Oh, don't worry Zel, it's ok, thanks." Filia said.
Xellos finally jumped down from the tree where he was watching. "I can teach Val some magic too, I know lots of spells"
he said with his eyes closed and his trickester smile. "No thanks Xellos, I don't Val to learn black, dirty, filthy, namagomi
magic." Xellos winked and wagged his finger at Filia "Bad Fi-chan, you shouldn't say those words in front of an innocent
kid." he said. That was too much for Filia, she took out mace-sama and began chasing Xellos with it.
"They really love each other don't they?" Amelia asked Zel as they saw Filia chasing Xellos far away. "Yeah, why won't
they ever stop arguing like that?" Zel said. "I think some things will never change." Amelia answered.
A few hours later...
"What did you think of dinner Filia-san?" Amelia asked. "It was great Amelia, thanks." she answered. "You're welcome
Filia-san!" Amelia answered. "Now I'll you your room, I guess it's past Val's bedtime." she continued. "Yeah, thanks Amelia"
"Please follow me." Amelia said.
Amelia took Filia over to guest wing of the palace. She showed her to richly furnished suite that was draped in gold color.
It was composed of three 'rooms'. They entered a small living room. To both sides of this room were two others, which as
Filia guessed were the bed rooms. "Amelia, this room is beautiful!" Filia said. "Thanks Filia-san, I hoped you liked it." she
answered. "Like it? I love it! I feel like a princess." Filia replied and both girls laughed.
"Well Filia-san, Val-chan good night, sweet dreams!" Amelia said as cheerful as usual. Filia sighed 'If she knew what my last
dream was like...' She decided to put that out of her mind, at least for now. She helped Val get ready for bed and watched
over him until he fell asleep. 'I guess it's time I go to sleep too.' she thought.
As got ready for bed she felt a familiar obscure prescence. "Hey Fi-chan!" Xellos greeted cheerfully "getting ready to sleep?,
I can keep you company." he continued as he grinned. "Why would I want the company of a namagomi mazoku?" she answered.
"Oh, don't be mean Filia, Juu-ou-sama doesn't have any work for me and I have nothing to do, can't I stay with my favorite
dragon?" he pleaded. Against her better judgement Filia gave in and sighed "Ok, you may stay as long as you sleep in the
couch." "No bed for me?" Xel asked innocently. Filia began to reach for mace-sama "It's the couch or nothing." she said.
"Aw, ok, no need to get violent." he said and went to the 'living room' of the suite Filia was staying in. Seeing that he had
gone there, Filia got into bed and tried to sleep.
At first Filia had trouble to go to sleep, but she was tired and soon dropped off. But again she had restless sleep because
the dream came again, this time more vivid and bloody. She saw herself, Xellos, Lina, Gourry, Amelia, Zelgadis, Sylphiel,
the Dark Lord, Luna, and even Ceiphied fighting against a group of demons and dragons, she saw her friends falling one
by one, destruction everywhere, when the demon and dragon leaders finally got to her they told her: "You tought you
could stop from conquering your world" and then they laughed as they attacked her.
Again she woke up screaming but she quickly covered her mouth, fearing someone would hear her. Xellos however heard
her and feeling her fear went to her. Strangely, he didn't feel like feeding off her. Again he conforted, as she told him her
dream. After that he told her he'd been having quite the same dream. "Maybe Zellas will know what this dream means."
Xellos suggested. Filia just stayed quiet, she was just too scared to talk, but at the same time she felt a warm feeling
towards Xellos.
and went to prepare breakfast. She rememered her dream and shivered 'I wonder what it means.' She shrugged off
