Slayers: The Meaning of Life

Part 7: Bed Time

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

N: As you should recall, the jealous princess Martina has caught her husband with the hero of our story.

me: Not that we were doing anything! ^.^;

N: That's right. But anyway, we all know Martina's possessive.

Martina: I HEARD THAT!! _

me & N: ^^;

N: So...*cough*...ahem...any way, on with the story. Martina, of course, wasn't too pleased by this.

Martina: Turn around and face me, you homewrecker! How dare you?! HOW DARE YOU?!?!

me: *turns around* Calm down, Martina. It's only me, for Shabranigdo's sake. I'm not trying to steal Zangulas.

Martina: *looks at the half-demon girl* Oh...Ooo, Sorry XellAn.

me: I've got Xellos. I don't need Zangulas. He's all yours.

Martina: So what were you doing under a tree with him then?

me: We were talking.

Martina: About what?

me: The meaning of life. I'm on a search to find the meaning of life.

Martina: *disbelieving* You don't know?

me: *equally disbelieving* You do?

Martina: *eyes go starry* I found purpose when I realized the greatness of the wonderful Zoamelgustar! The reason for existence is to worship and serve Zoamelgustar.

me: O_o
N: Martina goes on like this for several minutes, while Zangulas polishes his sword and XellAn zones out.

Zangulas: XellAn? Hey, XellAn?

me: *snaps back to reality* Huh? Oh, sorry. I had a seizure.

(AN: Chodeahami joke!)

Martina: *triumphantly* ...and that is the meaning of life!

me: *thinking* Why did I even bother? That was a waste of my time. *out loud* Yeah, well, any way, I've got to be going before it gets too late. Zelas has me on a curfew, so I'm not out causing mischief.

Martina: Oh, that's cute. The demon's got a bed time. Does she tuck you in too?

*Zelas' voice can be heard from the Astral Plane*

Zelas: I heard that! Don't mess with My Pet and her curfew, unless you want half the world destroyed.

Martina: *squeaks* Oh, no. No,no,no,no,no,no! That's very okay! I'm sorry, Your Lordship. I meant no disrespect.

N: Martina knows better than to mess with Mazoku...

Zelas: Good.

N: So XellAn heads for home, bed and a cup of tea. Missing Zelas' curfew is not something she'd like to do, even though she'd rather not stop her search for purpose.

me: Oyasumi nasai!! ^_^
