Scene: Lina Inverse's hotel room. A large cushy bed lies in the middle of the room. Soft music whispers throughout the room. The fragrance of some odd flower is present. Everything seems to strive for comfort. Lina however, is not comfortable.

She's darting about the room busily, apparently looking for something. She pokes her head under the bed when there's a sudden insistent banging on the door. A loud thunk resonates throughout the room when she hits her head.

"Miss Lina! Miss Lina."

Lina snatches the door open none too kindly. Of course, it's Amelia on the other side.

"Are you ready?!"

Lina glares at her, annoyed and still rubbing her head, "I can't find my shoes."

"Don't worry about it. We'll find them later, now come on!"

Amelia proceeds to drag Lina from her room, down the hall a few feet. She then shoves her through an open door.

Amelia's bedroom looks similar to Lina's, only it's bigger (Princess discount)

Filia is seated on the large four-poster bed. "Lina…are you sure we should do this?"

Lina pauses, considering, "Yes. I am absolutely sure. You won't regret this, both of you."

Amelia blushes for seemingly no reason at all, before dragging a large trunk into view.

Lina quickly opens it and starts handing out various frilly clothes to the others. Well…not handing, throwing. A pink bra lands directly on Filia's head while Amelia is bombarded with stockings and a thong.

Lina collects her own clothes before heading towards the bathroom, "Hurry up. Dinner's almost over!"

Amelia starts to examine a pair of fishnet stockings while Filia peels the bra from her head, blushing.



Filia is still getting dressed. Amelia has a foot pressed into her back, yanking on the corset strings. "Do I really have to wear this?" "For the last time, YES!" Satisfied, Amelia ties it for her and takes off to finish dressing. Filia stands in front of the mirror and screeches.

"What's wrong?" "You can see…my…my…" "Cleavage?" Filia turns beet red in response. "Well…that's the point of the corset Filia." "How am I supposed to walk in these?" Filia glares at the backbreaking heels she's wearing.

They complement her all white ensemble of corset, shorts, and stockings well. (Think lady Marmalade)

"You look nice!" Filia frowns, but begins brushing her hair anyway.

Amelia is wearing a leather dominatrix outfit (no more description needed). For some reason, she's actually enjoying herself, humming happily while applying bright red lipstick.

Lina hesitantly steps out of the bathroom. Her hair flows down her back uninhibited by her headband for the first time in a while. Part of her bangs cover one eye.

She too is wearing an unusual amount of makeup. (Blue eye shadow, tastefully applied, lipstick, blush, mascara, the works).

Her pitch black dress barely reaches the floor. A split travels the length of both legs and a large plunge in the neckline proudly displays her newfound gifts (Wonderbra.)

She holds an old fashioned cigarette holder, complete with burning cigarette, which completes the look.

"Did you find my shoes?"

Amelia halts her search for her whip to reply, "Nope, but you can wear those over there."

Lina quickly dons the matching shoes, also with incredibly high heels before attending to the others.

She fiddles with Amelia's hair a moment before moving to the disgruntled Filia and fastening a flower in the golden tresses.

"I think we're ready." Filia begins mumbling about tea and how late it is. Amelia on the other hand is extremely bubbly (more so than usual) and testing out her new whip on the surrounding air.

"Can we start now?" Lina quickly nods before opening the front door a crack.

Elsewhere

"GOURRY! ZEL! …OTHER XEL! COME HERE, WE NEED YOU!"

Gourry had just finished a particularly satisfying meal and had no wish to move. But Lina seemed upset about something so he began to stand. Zelgadiss looked positively irritated, Xellos looked…like Xellos.

All three began their monotonous trek up the stairs. Lina had her head poked out and ushered them in quickly as soon as she noticed their approach.



All three: O.O

Amelia grinned and waved, Filia blushed. Lina prompted the girls, "Well?"

Amelia's grin widened. In one swift move she yanked Xellos towards the bed while unceremoniously kicking the others out into the hallway. The door slammed behind them.

"Come on, Gourry." "Uhh?" Filia dragged the surprised man towards her own room, still blushing.

Zel turned to Lina, truly afraid that he was in some alternate universe. She smiled, "I'll explain everything later…in the bedroom perhaps?"

"N-nanni?"

By this point, Lina already had his hand and was leading him to her room.

The next morning

--------------------

Scene: Breakfast table. Only the three men are present

Gourry sits, staring off into space. Hickeys are evident along the length of his neck, as well as lipstick in various places.

Xellos' eyes are actually open for once, he continues to blink, sure that the previous night didn't happen. *I did not sleep with the justice freak, I did not sleep with the justice freak, I did not…*

Zel has much the same look as Gourry, minus the hickeys.

All: "Hi guys!"

Xellos falls out of his chair, Gourry freezes, Zel blushes furiously.

Xellos rights himself and sits at the table again. After Amelia whispers something to him,

he takes off, with her in tow, in a hurry.

"Gourry…" He was gone in a split second, carrying Filia with him. They too disappeared upstairs.

Zelgadiss begins nervously, "Lina--about yesterday-" "Shut up Zel." "Shutting up."

Without another word, our last couple disappears upstairs to perform…couple activities.
