Filia and Zelgadiss stay behind. Meanwhile at the hot springs…
Lina: Oh, this water is sooooo nice.
Lina is alone on the girls' side just relaxing until…
Random Lady: AHHHHH! A PERVERT!!!!
Lina wonders what's going on and turns around…
Lina: XELLOSS! WHATINTHEHELLDOYOUTHINKYOU'REDOING!?
Xelloss: I needed to ask you a question Lina.
Lina: COULDN'T IT HAVE WAITED?
She stands up to get a better look at his face when…
Xelloss: Looks like I'm not the only one not wearing a towel, ne Lina-chan?
Lina: DRAGON SLAVE!!!!!
Back at camp, awhile after the explosion…
Gourry: I still can't believe it!
Xelloss: Imagine that! A golden dragon making out with a chimera.
Zel: Shut up. *a dark blush creeps across his face*
Filia: So? That's not nearly as bad as what Miss Lina did!
Lina is dressed in Xelloss's clothes. Turns out she burnt hers up in the explosion. Along with all the towels. She dressed in front of him. The were both facing away from each other. But, Lina knew, with him, it really didn't matter.
Filia: Or what you did for that matter!
Zel: Yes, I was surprised when Lina showed up in Xelloss's clothes, and Xelloss in a giant purple towel.
Lina was still dressed in Xelloss's warm clothing. Her regular clothes were too thin, and she fried her warm pair. Xelloss, on the other hand was freezing in his regular clothing.
Xelloss: Lina, can I please have my clothes back? *Shiver, shiver*
Lina: No way! You are the reason mine are fried, so you have to suffer.
Yes, I know he could just leave, but that would ruin the plot!
Lina: Filia, aren't you supposed to be a priestess?
Filia: Yea? So?
Xelloss: So you shouldn't be making out with…
Filia: SHUT UP!
Zel: Come on, let's make our snow caves and go to sleep.
Gourry: What are snow caves?
Filia can't grasp the concept, so Zel helps her. Gourry can't grasp the concept either so he ends up sleeping under a tree. Xelloss and Lina make their caves and crawled into them. Then Lina remembered that she had first watch. She crawled out of her cave and sat next to the fire. Don't bother the author about the fire, you have an imagination, and they blew up the hot springs, remember? Anyways, Lina was sitting next to the fire when she heard someone moaning.
Lina: I wonder who that is.
She walked around, peering into the caves. It wasn't Filia, or Zelgadiss. It wasn't Gourry, or herself. That left one cave.
Lina: Xelloss? *she peers into his cave*
He was sleeping. It was a fitful sleep; he was rolling around, mumbling something. She listened. All she could make out was her name. He curled into a tight ball. She was pretty sure that 'monsters' don't act like this.
Lina: *Grabs on to Xelloss's shoulders, and pulls him into her lap* Xelloss?
She realizes just how cold he is.
Lina: Damn it! Xelloss? Xelloss? Wake up.
He doesn't even stir. She cups his face in her hands. It's like ice.
Lina: Damn. Xelloss. Wake up. C'mon!
Nothing she tries will wake him up. Lina realizes that it's almost time for Zel's shift. She crawls out of Xel's cave. Zel wasn't paying much attention when I was making my cave, and then I crawled into it. Hopefully he won't notice…
Zel: My shift Lina.
Lina: Oh, ok. *Crawls into Xel's cave*
That's when she realizes that Xel's clothing is paper-thin. She carefully lifts up his shirt. His stomach was ice cold too. She has no idea what to do. So, she does the one thing she can do.
Lina: Zelgadiss!
The sharp tone in her voice sent him running.
Zel: What is it Lina? Are you ok?
Lina: Yea, but something's wrong with Xelloss. No matter what I do I can't get him to wake up! And he's really cold.
Zel: It's hypothermia.
Lina: I thought… that 'monsters'… they couldn't….
Zel: I thought so too. Unless…
Lina: Unless…?
Zel: Unless this is some sort of 'monster' flu.
Lina: So, what do we do?
Zel: I'll go warm some soup; you try to wake him up.
Lina: Ok.
Zelgadiss leaves. Ok, now I'm going to switch over and see how Amelia is fairing.
Amelia: Will you please light a fire?
Bad guy #3, Joe: No.
Amelia: Why not?
Joe: Because.
Amelia: Because why?
Ok, back to Xelloss and Lina!
Lina: C'mon Xelloss, snap out of it!
Zelgadiss: I've got the soup.
Lina: I can't get him to wake up! You don't think he's…
Zelgadiss: *checks pulse* No, he's still alive.
Lina: Thank the gods! But, what are we going to do?
Zelgadiss: Think you can drag him over by the fire?
Lina: Who needs to drag anyone? *casts levitation*
Zel: Ok, set him by the fire, and wake up Filia.
Lina: *nods head, sets Xelloss by the fire and goes to Filia's cave* Filia, wake up! We need your help!
Filia comes out of the cave. The finger traps still stuck to one hand.
Filia: What is it?
Lina: Do you want to know how to get those off?
Filia: Yes please!
Lina: Here…
Lina takes the finger traps off of Filia.
Zel: Hello?
Lina: Oh, Filia… Xelloss is sick and…
Filia: Xelloss is sick? Wahoo! Finally, I can kill the little creep…
Lina: NO! I want to cure him!
Filia: Mr. Zelgadiss?
Zel: It is cruel to hit him while he's down…
Filia: I don't believe it!
Lina: Do you know how we can cure him?
Filia: Why should I care…
Lina: *Grabs Filia by the collar* Because he's our friend! It doesn't matter whether he's a 'monster' to me or not! He's still my friend! Now, do you know how we can cure him or not?
Filia: *examines him* 'Monster' hypothermia.
Zel: So do you know how to make him go back to normal?
Filia: Yes…
Lina: So? How?
Filia: Well, something of the opposite sex has to sleep with it.
Zel: What?
Lina: What do you mean by sleep?
Filia: Cuddle up next to him and fall asleep. And don't even look at me, I refuse!
Zel: Well, I can't…
Lina: Me?!
Zel: Looks that way…
Lina: … *looks at the helpless 'monster'*
Filia: Well, he is your friend Miss Lina…
Lina: But… Isn't there some other way?
Filia: No. There is one part I forgot…
Zel: What's that?
Filia: The one who does this has to accept it and love it. That is, assuming that 'monsters' are the same as dragons.
Lina: Well, I do accept him… *blush*
Zel: I'm going to bed.
Filia: Me too.
Lina: Hey!
They both retreat, leaving Lina alone with a cold, paler than usual Xelloss.
Lina: The things I do for you. Levitation. *sets him in her cave*
Lina stares at him for a while. Then she throws down his cape, that she's wearing for something to block the snow. Then she gently rolled him onto it. Sighing, she snuggles up next to him. Then, uses his chest as a pillow. Finding this comfortable, she throws one arm around his stomach. Finding this to be extremely relaxing, and very comfortable, she wraps one of her legs around both of his and snuggles down. Her eyelids dropped sleepily, until she finally doses off. Her last thought was: and to think, all this because of some silly Chinese Finger Traps.
Amelia: Won't anyone light a fire?!
Bad guys: No!
Amelia: Please?
Billy: No.
Amelia: Pweeese?
Bob: No.
Amelia: P-P-Please?
Joe: No.
Amelia: Pretty please?
Jim: No.
Amelia: Pretty please with sugar on top?
Billy Bob Joe Jim (That's his name!): Oh, ok. *lights fire*
Amelia: Thank you!
The next morning Xelloss wakes to find Lina sprawled all over him. He smiles, wraps his arms around the petite sorceress, and goes back to sleep.
Lina: Oh, this water is sooooo nice.
Lina is alone on the girls' side just relaxing until…
