The Retirement Part 2

**

Nova-chan: ;_;

Xelloss: What? What's the problem?

Nova-chan: Nothing. ;_;

Zelgadis: Come on, out with it.

Nova-chan: ...TODAY WAS MY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL AND IT WAS REALLY HARD!!!!!

Xelloss: (recovering) Ear..

Nova-chan: ;_; I had homework already and I had a bad headache, and I didn't see Alex except for three times, and I only had half a class with Kimi-san, and I didn't like anybody in two classes, and I passed out in chemistry because I got dehydrated, and I **started** and-

Xelloss: Too much information!!

Nova-chan: Oh, sorry. Forgot you were a boy.

Lina: That's a fairly easy thing to do.

Nova-chan: I'm just gonna get back to doing the one thing that makes me feel better than sleeping. I'm gonna write the next part of this ficcie.

Lina took a big bite out of whatever was closest to her. After a while, it didn't matter, since everything started to taste the same.

However, the second she felt the nightmare energy hovering and gathering behind her, all of her food, whether in her hand or in her mouth, was dropped.

Meanwhile, back at the happy song ride...

"It's a small world after all...it's a small world after all..."

"Amelia, I'm going to die," Zelgadis groaned, trying to get over his nausea.

"But, Mr. Zelgadis! They're so kawaii!" Amelia squeaked, grasping his arm. "Next, they'll start singing in some other language!"

"It's a chibi world after all..."

"Amelia. I would like to get off. NOW," Zelgadis stressed.

"But, Mr. Zelgadis! It's romantic!"

"Amelia."

"Oh-kay."

Gourry waited, anticipating, as the line got shorter every thirty minutes or so. Xelloss began to slowly lose his sanity and started whistling a haunting tune.

A woman standing in front of them was nervously teetering back and forth on her heels.

She suddenly ripped off her shirt and screamed, "I can't take it anymore!!!"

Gourry gasped. "Aaah!" he shrieked, covering Xelloss' eyes with his hand. "Don't look! It's a bra!"

"What??" Xelloss demanded. "Gourry! Stop it!"

The misguided mazoku tumbled over backwards, bringing Gourry down with it.

The woman had long since been carried off by security.

"Ah," the blond sighed. "The crisis is over."

"Yes," Xelloss agreed, squished, "but we lost our place in line."

"Are you..." Lina whispered, unable to finish.

"The Lord of Nightmares," L-sama replied, her golden hair glowing brightly. "You can call me LoN." (Like NoV! ^_^)

"But, what do you want from me?" Lina choked out.

"Well, my dear," L-sama said, plopping into a chair and ordering a cappuccino, "I'm getting too old to be the Lord of Nightmares. I keep telling them I'm retired, but do they listen?? NO!! They're always calling me and wanting something! You won't believe how simple they are!"

"Um, excuse me," the flame-haired girl interrupted, "but who are they?"

"Um..." LoN thought for a moment. "I have no idea, my child, but down to business, I want you to be my replacement!"

"What????" Lina's jaw dropped. "But, I-"

"No buts!" L-sama roared. "Just come with me."

And, with that, the nightmare energy began to entwine around the small sorceress.



**



"Why don't we go find Miss Lina and the others?" Amelia asked, once they had escaped from the ride.

"Fine by me," Zelgadis replied.



**



Gourry wailed, as he and Xelloss sat by the fountain, featuring a giant, happy mouse.

"It's not FAIR!!" he cried. "The Alien is my favorite ride EVER!!"

"You'll survive!" Xelloss assured him.

"No, I won't," the blond sniffled.

"Why don't we go get some lunch?" the priest suggested. "After that we can get back in line."

"Oh-kay!" Gourry cried, suddenly very happy again.



**



Zelgadis and Amelia arrived in the food court that was by this point covered in nightmare energy.

Amelia gasped. "LoN is taking Miss Lina!" She posed. "Justice will prevail!" The oujo began a fireball while Zelgadis prepared a Ra Tilt.

At that point, Xelloss and Gourry showed up.

"Hi Lonny!" Xelloss greeted, cheerily.

The golden energy dissipated and Lina was dropped to the ground.

"Xelloss!" L-sama exclaimed. "How are you doing?"

"Oh, just fine!" the mazoku replied.

".."

".."

"Should we start fighting again?"

"Probably."

The energy returned and Lina was lifted again. Her hair began to glow, along with her body.

"No!" she shrieked, struggling. "Help me, you bakas!!"

Zelgadis and Amelia attacked, but their blasts just bounced off of L-sama, like she was a giant marshmallow.

Gourry had busied himself with some foods that Lina had left on the table.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that right above L-sama was a squirrel.

But, not just any squirrel.

He gasped. "Squirrelly!! My mortal enemy!" He chucked a chicken leg at the animal, but his aim was off and he hit L-sama instead, who fell down and died on impact, dropping Lina.

Gourry blinked and looked around nervously. "Oops."

Amelia: How romantic! Mr. Gourry-san saved the day!

Lina: You can't say 'Mr. Gourry-san.' It's too repetitive.

Amelia: But I hafta show respect!

Zelgadis: No. You don't.

Amelia: :P

Xelloss: I liked this one. Nothing bad happened to me!

(suddenly Xelloss is struck by lightning)

Xelloss: (cough)

Nova-chan: Oops! BTW, I want Amelia-story ideas this time! She's never had her own story.

Amelia: ;_; It's true!

Nova-chan: But the next one is Amelia-story.

Amelia: I'm so flattered!

Nova-chan: Wait! ;_; I just read my reviews for the first part of this ficcie, and I wanted to thank my fans! ;_; I got ten reviews in all! ;_; You all helped me get over my bad school trauma thingies! Thank-you! Thank- you! I'm dedicating my next fic to the fans!!!
