The next morning, during breakfast, Xelloss announced to the rest of the Gabrieves, that he was going to marry Filia. Filia's parents both happily agreed to it. Her father happily got up and went up to Xelloss and gave him a huge hug. "I am glad to be your father-in-law. You will always be my son!"

Unfortunately for Valgaav he walked in at moment, and heard that last sentence. He looked at the whole family with a puzzled look. Gourry noticed him.

"Oh! Val! You're here early! You hungry??" Gourry got up quickly and offered him to sit down.

"Thanks Gourry." Valgaav took the seat and sat down still looking puzzled. "So…what's going on?"

Filia's mom put down a big bowl of rice for Valgaav before sitting back down. "Eat dear. You look half starved. We're just celebrating how Xelloss finally went through to ask Filia the question."

Valgaav looked even more bewildered. "The question…?"

"Xelloss finally asked me to marry him!" Filia beamed with such happiness.

Valgaav choked on the rice he had at that moment. He quickly regained his composer. "Oh. I see. Well congratulations you two. Xelloss treat her well."

"I always treat Filia well," Xelloss said testily.

"Just telling you again." Valgaav smirked a bit then went silent. There was an uneasy atmosphere after that little scene. Thanks to Gourry, who asked for more rice, the tension soon left with everyone sweatdropping at his 8th bowl of rice.

After breakfast, in Xelloss' little room, Filia and Xelloss decided to talk. They got into a comfortable position. Xelloss sat against the wall, while Filia sat next to him and leaned next to him.

"So when should we have the wedding?" Filia asked, as she was playing with his hands.

"Well…I was thinking if we could hold it off…" Xelloss trailed off.

Filia looked at him. "Why? Don't you want to get married right away?"

"I do hon. I do. But I was thinking that we should wait at least a year or two, till we've saved enough money. Now that I am working for Gaav, I should be earning much more money than before. Still I would like to wait till we've saved enough money for our house and other stuff." Xelloss rubbed her shoulder comfortingly.

She got up and sat up straight. She stared at the wall opposite of her for a while. "I think you're right. If we do get married now, we'll probably just be asking for poverty. I know that you probably don't have much money now, because of that ring. So we should save money and wait. I am with you Xelloss. I'll do whatever you want."

"I'm glad you are willing to wait." Xelloss smiled.

"For you, it's worth it!" Filia leaned against him. "But then again, that doesn't mean we can't stop planning now!"

He kissed her on the cheek. "You're right. Let's start planning!"

They separated. Filia got out a notebook and a pen. They started to go off with the basic.

"Big or small wedding?" Xelloss asked.

"Medium."

"At a church?"

"Yeah."

"Who do you want as your Maid of Honor?"

"Lina. Who do you want as your Best Man?"

"You know it's Zel."

"I want Gourry and Val to be our ushers…"

"Why Val?"

"He's been a family friend for the longest time. Him and Gourry are really close."

"Okay. Fine. If that's what you want."

"Xillia could the bridesmaid and Sylphiel."

"Yeah. Let's have less planning and more playtime!" Xellos grinned evilly.

Filia grinned back. "Why not!" She tackles him to the floor and kisses him passionately. Xelloss kissed her back with equal passion. And the author will stop here. Lots of adult things were going around at this time…

A week later…

Lina was home alone for a change, so she decided to take this opportunity to go visit Beo and Zel. She quickly got her bag and then went to get a cab. The only good thing about living with Gaav, was that she now always had enough money to buy all the foods she wants and still have money left over.

She soon came back "home" and rang the doorbell. Beo answered.

"Dad!" She gave him a big hug. "I've missed you!"

Beo laughed out loud. "Honey it's only been a week!"

"I know, but it feels like an eternity for me!"

There were fast footsteps coming toward the door. Beo moved out of the way as Zelgadiss rushed to Lina and gave her a real big and tight hug.

"How you been? Gaav treating you alright?"

"Oh him and Phibrizo just ignore me most of the time. That's how I like it!" Lina smiled. "How have you two been without me?"

"Just waiting for the days to pass by slowly…" Zel answered.

"Ah. Well you two go to Dad's room while I go get you two coffee." Lina went to the kitchen as the two just decided to go along with the flow.

Lina did this and that and soon she had three cups of coffee in front of her. She put them on a tray and took them to Beo's bedroom. She entered and gave them their coffee and sat on the floor next to Zel. They all had long conversations about what had happened over the week. Lina told them how annoying those terrible twos were. Zel told her how quiet the apartment was without her. Beo just smiled and said that he was glad that Lina was doing well over there. All was going just fine till the phone interrupted them.

Zel answered. "Hello?"

"Yo Zel! It's me Zel! I've finally popped the question to Filia. She said yes!"

"Well took you long enough! Congrats you two." Zel cupped the mouthpiece and told Lina and Beo what happened.

"Congrats Xelloss! Tell Filia I told her that also!!" Lina shouted at the phone.

Zel heard him laughing. "Yeah. Hey Zel, would you be my best man?"

Zel sighed. "Well I'm still upset about how you decided to work with him and all, but I will do it! I still love you man!"

"Okay. Then could you ask Lina if she would be Filia's Maid of Honor?"

Zel repeated that question to Lina. Lina nodded enthusiastically. "I love weddings! Being in one is cool!!"

"She said yes."

"Alright. Further plans will be revealed soon! I have to go now. I am at my office and my lunch break is over now. See ya later!" Xelloss hung up.

Zelgadiss put the phone back on its hook and forced a smile.

"Still don't like his decision eh Zel?" Lina patted his shoulder.

"Nah. But it's his life, so I can't force him to do anything against his will…" Zel sighed. I don't know why, but why do I feel ominous about this whole thing now. Now that Xelloss mentioned the wedding, it just gave me a chill…
