Slayers: The Meaning of Life

Part 4: It's Not Coffee!!!!!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

N: Our heroine has just left Saillune and now runs into the ever-popular (and oh-so-attractive, awesome, intelligent, angsty...) chimera, Zelgadiss Greywords.

me: Zelgadiss! It's been a while. What're you doing here?

Zel: I'm on my way to Saillune...there's a lead i'm following... (((_-)) *sighs* ...again

me: When are you going to realize people adore you the way you are?

(Rabid Fangirls: Yeah we do!!!!!)

me: Amelia, for example...

Zel: ^^;

me: She's waiting for you to come back, you know.

Zel: I thought you don't write a lot of mush about me and Amelia.

me: This isn't mush! And besides, she answered the question and I did promise...

Zel: (((_-))

me: Anyway, I'm not here to bother you about that.

Zel: What then?

me: What do you suppose the point of life is, Zel-Chan?

Zel: The most important quest...

me: Yeah?

Zel: ...In every person's life is...

me: YEAH!? Get on with it!!

Zel: ...To find a good pot of coffee!!!

me: ... ^^; ...Zel...You haven't had a cup in a while, have you?

Zel: *sadly* ...No. :(

N: Because our heroine is a good Girl Scout, she's prepared for anything, including a coffee-deprived chimera, so she builds a fire and brews some java.

*several minutes later*

Zel: *sips from steaming mug* ...Ahhh...Bliss... (((_^))

me: Now then, Zel, you've got your coffee. Let's be serious.

Zel: the point of life? All it is is pain and suffering. I see no other meaning.

me: Zel...

Zel: I mean, my life is a total waste. I wander around looking for a cure for this damn curse. I'm only 21 for Ceipheed's sake! My life shouldn't be over already.

me: *thinking* ...Here we go with the self-pity again...

Zel: *fists clenched* Everywhere I go, people stare at me. it shouldn't be like this. I should be happy and enjoying life and able to tell Amelia that I love her!

*cricket, cricket*

Zel: *face is beat-red* ...Did I just say that?

me: *nodding* Yeah ya did! /^_^\

Zel: Oh, Shit! (((_))

me: Don't feel bad. I already knew. I am the author, don't forget! ^.^

Zel: No one's going to hear about this, right?

me: Of course not! (except any one who reads this... ^_)

Zel: Well then...I guess I'll be going...

me: All right.

Zel: Good luck.

me: You too! *winks* ^_ Ja ne! *waves*

N: So the two part ways, Zelgadiss heading towards Saillune, XellAn away from it. The young woman heads in the direction of the newly re-built Sairaag.
