Zelgadiss: *Growls* What now?

Xelloss: Guess what I've got.

Zel: I don't care.

Xelloss: Wrong! Guess again!

Zel: I already told you, I don't care.

Xelloss: And I already told you, that's wrong.

Zelgadiss: Fine, I give up, what is it?

Xelloss: Just a little something I picked up from a certain temple…

Zel: What temple? Where?

Xelloss: Oh, somewhere along the way…

Zel: What is it?

Xelloss: You have to guess!

Lina: SHUT UP!

Zel: Is it a potion?

Xelloss: No…

Lina: I can still hear you…

Zel: What is it then?

Xelloss: Sore Wa…

Lina: *Top half of body emerges from tent* FIREBALL!

Xelloss: *Disappears, then reappears*

Zel: Owww…

Lina: SHUT UP AND LET ME GET MY BEAUTY SLEEP!

Zel: *Sweat drop*

Xelloss: Do you really want to know what it is?

Zel: Yea…

Xelloss: Oh, Filia!

Filia: Leave me alone namagoni!

Lina: JUST SHUT UP!

Xelloss: But it's really important!

Filia: *Mutters but approaches them* Yea, what do you want?

Xelloss: *Grabs their hands and joins all of their fingers with a Chinese finger trap* THIS!

Lina: FIREBALL!

Xelloss: Goodnight! *Disappears*

Filia: Ahhhhh!

The next morning we see Filia sleeping on Zel's shoulder. Zel is leaned up next to a tree. Amelia is trying to start a fire, but is failing miserably. Mostly because she is too busy staring at Filia and Zel. Oh, and Val is there. He stumbled in; he is also staring at the pair. Lina is still asleep, Gourry disappeared, and Xelloss still hasn't returned.

Gourry: *stumbles into camp*

Amelia: *Doesn't notice him*

Val: *Doesn't either*

Lina: *Wakes up and comes out of her tent* Hello minna! *Notices the couple* What's with them?

Amelia: I don't care!

Xelloss: *appears* Sure you do!

Amelia: No, I don't!

Xelloss: Yes you do.

Amelia: No, I don't!

Xelloss: Yes…

Lina: What do you want Xelloss?

Xelloss: What do you mean?

Lina: You know what I mean!

Zel: *Wakes up* What's all the commotion?

Amelia: I think you know!

Zel: *Notices Filia* It's not like that!

Filia: *Wakes up* What's going on?

Val: I have no idea…

Filia: What are you doing here? *tries to get up, but can't because of the Chinese finger traps*

Val: I came to see you.

Filia: I thought I told you to stay home.

Val: *laughs nervously* Yea, well, about that…

Lina: I don't care about that… All I care about is what Xelloss wants us to destroy now.

Xelloss: I think that's my cue to go…

Lina: Oh, no you don't! *Jumps on him and puts him in a headlock*

Zel: Here we go again… *Tries to get the finger traps off* Hey, they wont come off!

Xelloss: Oh yes, those are enchanted finger traps. So, they wont come off by normal means.

Lina: What do you mean?

Xelloss: They wont come off until the couple confesses their true feelings for each other.

Filia: Confesses their true feelings?

Xelloss: Yes, you have to tell each other exactly how you feel about each other.

Lina: *Lets go of him, only to find herself stuck to him by a finger trap* HEY!

Gourry: I don't get it…

Amelia: *Cries*

Dark figure in the shadows: Now's my chance…

The dark figure springs out of the trees and thick bushes. He quickly grabs Amelia while no one's looking. Then he runs off as fast as he can.

Zel: HEY!

Filia: What?

Zel: Filia, I think you're pretty, a little immature, but smart. I also think you're a kind caring person.

Zel's end of the finger traps snap off. He runs off in the direction that the guy took Amelia.

Lina: Hey, Zel? Where you off to?

Filia: What, what just happened?

Lina: Xelloss, what's going on? Where'd Amelia go, and why did Zel take off like that?

Xelloss: Well, you see…

Lina: Tell me the truth. And all of it!

Val: Mom, I'm going home. These people scare me.

Filia: That's good. They scare me too.

Val: It's good that they scare me?

Filia: No, it's good that you're going home.

Val: Yea, ummm, bye! *leaves*

Xelloss: A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…

He continues to tell the Star Wars saga, after he finishes…

Lina: Where in the hell did that come from?

Gourry: I think you hit him a little too hard in the head Lina.

Filia: Jar-Jar just sounds so adorable!

Lina: *Sweat drops* Just what did that have to do with Amelia leaving?

Xelloss: Absolutely nothing!

They all facefalt, moaning…

Lina: Xelloss…

Xelloss: Ok, here's a true story… Ranma was just a little kid, but his dad put him through hell. One day they went to China…

Xelloss proceeds to tell the life stories of Ranma-tachi in great detail…

Gourry: I don't get it, how could Ranma be half girl, and half boy?

Filia: Remember? He fell into a cursed spring. P-chan just is so kawaii!

Lina: XELLOSS! THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT WE'RE FACING NOW! TELL US SOMETHING USEFUL, PLEASE!

Xelloss: But, that was useful!

Lina: AHHHHHHH!!! *beats Xelloss mercilessly with her fan* NOITWASN'TANDYOUKNOWIT! NOWSTOPTELLINGUSUSLESSCRAPANDTELLUSWHAT'SGOINGON!

Gourry: I think that was a record!

Lina: SHUT UP!

Xelloss: Well, that's a se…

Lina: Say it and die!

Xelloss: Ok, well, that's something I don't know at all!

Everyone facefalts, moaning, except, Xelloss who is connected by the finger trap to Lina, so he falls on top of her.

Lina: Get off of me!

Xelloss: *does as he is told*

Gourry: So, Lina… What do we do now?

Lina: I don't think there's anything else we can do except start off in the direction that Zel went in.

Gourry: Well, let's go then!

A/N Sorry it's such a short chapter! But I think this is a pretty good place to end it. More coming soon! I don't really know where to go from here, but, I'll think of something!
