All I've done is rewritten the beginning of one of my previous fanfics… Ah,
but it's all for the better! It's revised so if you've read it already you
might want to read it again… Please?
DISCLAIMER: If I owned Slayers would I be writing a disclaimer? Yeah, that's what I thought!

The ten o'clock sun rose cheerfully over the tops of the trees. The light fell through the leaves and shone on Lina, Gourry, Amelia, Zelgadis, and Filia, who were all traveling around in a forest for no apparent reason. They had absolutely money and, therefore, absolutely no food. This affected the group in many ways… actually it just made them very hungry. Except for Filia. The rest just assumed that been eating those poisonous berries again. They had been in town the previous day and had bought some food to bring with them for the trip through the forest but it had mysteriously disappeared. Lina and Gourry were the main suspects but, of course, they both denied it.
They'd all been walking in complete silence for the past hour and a half. Mostly from the boredom, they were all wishing something would happen. Anything. A demon lord attacks, a hurricane comes up unexpectedly, or maybe a new disgustingly cute character would join them.
"Look! A puppy!" Amelia suddenly burst out. It wasn't as exciting as she let on but that didn't stop her from rushing over to it and scooping it up in her arms.
"Cute…" Zelgadis muttered, not even pretending he cared.
"Oh! Can I keep it?" Amelia asked excitedly as she turned to the group.
"I dunno…" Gourry said, "I think I'm allergic to cats…"
Amelia stared at Gourry for a moment, then shifted her attention to Zelgadis.
"I can develop allergies," he said as he looked at the puppy.
"Well," Amelia pouted, "Since Lina and Filia agree with me then that's three against two! We're keeping it!"
Lina tried to protest, "I never-"
"-We're keeping it," Amelia said in a comanding voice.
Gourry spoke up, "But you didn't ask Martina!" Everyone stared at Gourry.
"Um…Gourry? Martina left, remember? She got married to Zangalus," Lina informed him.
"She did!?" Gourry was shoked, "Then who have I been talking to!?"
Jilias began to sweat underneath his blue wig, "Um… Gee, Gourry… You're looking… um… adorable today? I wish I had my… Lord Zoamelgustar… Um… Sore wa himitsu desu?… Oh! I knew this wouldn't work! I'll get you next time, Lina Inverse! And your little swordsman, too!" With that, Jilias took off running, never to be seen again for the rest of the day.
"…Hey…!…I'm not… little!" Gourry said. There was an akward silence, during which Lina glared out Gourry for being stupid, Gourry wondered if he really was little, Amelia cuddled her puppy, Filia looked nervous for some reason, and Zelgadis did nothing worth mentioning.
"…So? About my new puppy…" Amelia started, "What am I going to name her?"
"That's not a her! That's a him!" Gourry told her, pointing at the puppy.
"Nah, that's definatly a girl!" Filia said.
"Lets just call it an 'it'" said Zelgadis.
"An it!?" Amelia looked at the puppy in her hands. It's fur was much too long to tell which end was 'up', let alone what gender it was. "It's an it," she finally agreed.
"How can you name some sort of unisex dog?" Lina asked.
"I know!" Amelia exclaimed, "It's obvious that this puppy is a follower of justice! And that's why I'm going to name it Justice!"
"So it was Jilias I was talking to… not Martina! I get it!" Gourry realized. Lina groaned. Zel wondered how long the lifespan of a dog is. Justice made a mess on Amelia.
* * *
That night, Amelia was teaching Justice the art of justice. At the time, she was telling it what to do in case somebody fell asleep during a justice speech.
"So," she continued, "Let's practice! Oh, Ms. Lina! Would you come her for a moment?"
"Yeah, whadda ya want?" Lina asked, upset that she'd been pulled away from her dinner of poisonous berries.
"I would like to speak to you about Justice-" Amelia's words were cut off by the sound of Lina's snoring. Justice obediently attacked Lina's leg. Lina's eyes popped open and she started to run around trying to shake the dog off her leg.
"What's going on!? Get it off! Get it off!"
Amelia brushed a tear from her eye as Lina ran back and forth, "It's almost as if this dog was made for me!"
* * *
"So, Filia," Gourry said to Jilias, "What do you think of this new dog that Amelia has?"
"I dunno…" Jilias said, adjusting a blonde wig on his head, "It really isn't so great… especially not compared to Jilias!"
"Jilias isn't very nice! He tricked me into thinking he was Martina! Well, I won't fall for that again! I'm never going to trest ANYONE who says they're Martina!" Gourry declared.
"Good idea," Jilias said.
Amelia walked up to them, clutching Justice to her chest, "Mr. Jilias!? What are you doing here? And why are you wearing a dress?"
Gourry looked at her as if she was stupid, "This is Filia… not Jilias!"
"He's trying to trick you again, Mr. Gourry!"
"Then how come I have blonde hair?" Jilias asked.
She pointed at it, "It's a wig!"
"Um… No it isn't!" Jilias defended his hair.
"She's got you there, Amelia," Gourry said.
"But it is a wig!" she sighed, "It even has it's price tag on it!"
"No it doesn't."
Amelia pulled off the wig, "See? There's the price tag!"
"How'd that get there?"
"And how come you're so furry?"
"I haven't shaved in weeks!"
"That's it! I'm going to see what Ms. Lina has to say about this!" Amelia said and started to walk away. Jilias jumped to his feet.
"Gee, look at the time! Gotta run!" He took off running for the forth time that week.
Zelgadis approached the area where Gourry and 'Filia' had been eating a picnic.
"But it was Filia!"
Zelgadis ignored Gourry and turned to Amelia, "Where IS Filia? I haven't seen her since yesterday."
Gourry pointed to the spot next to him, "She was right there a minute ago!"
"I think she said something about some unfinished business or something," Amelia replied.
"Well, we'd better find her soon if we want to get to the next village before sunset," Zel said as Lina walked up to them.
"Are we going to-" Lina stopped and backed up a couple steps as Justice began to growl at her, "…Are we going to leave soon or what?"
"We have to find Ms. Filia first," Amelia told her.
"Oh! Now I understand!" Gourry exclaimed, "It wasn't Filia I was eating a picnic with! It was Jilias! Boy that could have been embarrassing!"
After about an hour of searching for Filia they were about to give up for the night when Lina's keen ears heard the sound of food… and it was being eaten! They all hurried to the where the delicious sound was coming from.
Finally, Lina found that the sound was coming from behind some bushes - where they found Filia sitting.
"Oh! There you are!" Lina sighed, "Why are you all the way out here?"
"Um…" Filia thought for a moment, obvioulsy eating the food they'd heard, "No reason."
"She's eating food without us!" Gourry gasped.
Lina was equally shoked, "How could you!?"
"It's not what you think!" Filia tired as she hid a sandwhich beneath her back and stuffed a piece of ham into her mouth.
"And we trusted you!" Gourry fumed.
"All right! So you know my secret!" Filia yelled, "I'm a glutton!"
Lina folded her armes over her chest, "This is unforgivable."
"Um… Ms. Lina?" Amelia interrupted, "If I'm not mistaken, you and Mr. Gourry are even bigger pigs than she is…"
"Yeah but at least we can admit it!" Gourry said.
"I'm not a pig!" Lina growled.
"Well… at least I can admit it…" Gourry fixed his previous statement.
"Ms. Lina…." Amelia gave her 'the look'.
"Fine! I eat a little bit more… than some anerexic people," Lina said.
Without warning, Justice jumped out of Amelia's arms and attacked Lina. The conversation about overeaters was forgotten and for the next couple days, Lina resisted the urge to dragon slave Justice.
* * *
The week after, Amelia woke and made an unexpecte discovery. Justice was missing. Being the only one awake, she let out a loud shriek just to wake everyone up and tell them the horrible news.
"Justice is gone!" she told them. Nobody cared.
"What time is it?" Zelgadis asked, groggily.
"What difference does it make!? Justice is gone!" Amelia cried out. Everyone glared at her for a mement, then went back to sleep… except Filia, who had gone to check if her stash of cupcakes was still hidden in that rotting tree trunk.
Amelia sank to the ground in despair. Cheesy flashbacks went by in her mind - half of which didn't really happen. The time she and Justice foiled a serial killer's plot to turn himself it. The time when Justice bit Zelgadis so hard that it's teeth fell out. The time Justice went to Disney Land. The time when Justice made a mess on Lina's cape… That suddenly reminded Amelia of how much Lina hated Justice… Perhapes she hated Justice so much that she would kidnap it!
"Ms. Lina! How could you!?" Amelia shrieked so loud that everone was awakened once again.
"How could I what?" Lina asked asked as she rubbed her eyes.
"Steal Justice!"
Lina rolled her eyes, "Why would I steal something I don't want?"
"So you could be rid of it forever!" Amelia told her.
"If that were the case, wouldn't she have just killed it?" Zelgadis asked.
"You killed it!?" Amelia gasped.
"No!"
"Then you must have eaten it, you pig!" accused Amelia.
"I did not!"
"Did too!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Gourry ate it!"
"Mr. Gourry!?"
"I saw him do it!" Lina lied.
"Mr. Gourry, how could you!?" Amelia turned to Gourry. Lina took the opportunity to make her getaway.
"What'd I do?" Gourry asked, being woken for the third time that morning.
"You ate my dog!"
"Oh… that was yours? I didn't think anyone wanted it…" he said after a moment of thinking.
Amelia began sobbing, "You're so insensitive!"
Gourry began sobbing, too, because he was confused, "I'm sorry! I was just so hungry! And there was still three more in the package so I din't think anone would notice and-"
Amelia stopped crying abruptly, "Three more in the package?"
"Yeah… But I DID eat the rest of the ketchup… I'm sorry about that, too!"
"You're talking about a HOT dog, Mr. Gourry!"
"I found them under Filia's sleeping bag!"
"Then there's still hope for my poor little Justice!"
"Does that mean I can eat those other three hot dogs?"
