Wisdoms Parties & Weddings
When Lina and Gourry came home, they immediately told the twins the good news. Both of them began to cheer at how their master had finally admitted her feelings for her beloved. Lina just turned redder than a Whalemato.
They did let Lina and Gourry get to sleep that night. But in the morning, Jared begged Lina to go and see the remaining Wisdoms. He knew that Olbohn worked in the Underworld managing departed souls, and Gaeus was on the Highway. So Lina decided that they'd go to the Underworld first, and stop by the Highway on the way back home.
So they teleported to the Underworld and went inside. Leon wasn't at his usual post, and Lina figured he must have broken the curse - - since he made that trip to Domina a few days ago - - and was visiting Rutee in the forest. Once there, the sorceress and her apprentice went to the command chamber to see Olbohn.
"I'm Jared," the boy said, "I've come to listen to the Wisdoms to be a great wizard."
"Hello Jared. Sometimes, mages get so powerful that they forget their own humanity, and go on killing sprees. Never forget who you are, or what you were born as, or you may one day be destroyed for the evils you may commit," he stated.
Jared replied, "Thanks Olbohn."
Suddenly, a Shadole came into the room. "Hey you weirdoes, what're you doing here? If you're staying, you might as well hear my joke. What's short and flat with a temper to put a monster to shame? Lina Inverse of course. Oh, I'm so funny." The Shadole began to laugh. His glee turned to annoyance when Lina Fireballed him in anger.
"Master?" asked Jared, "What is the reason for that Fireball?"
"Simple, you Fireball someone who has the nerve to taunt you. It isn't smart to mess with Lina Inverse if you value your life," she told him.

On the Highway, they used the Boink to come closer to Gaeus's home. Once there, they stepped in the rock's big hands. He then pulled them closer to his face an inquired, "How may I help you today? What wisdom can I impart?"
Jared stepped forward to the end of the hand. "I'm Jared, I've come to listen to the Wisdoms to become a great wizard."
"Hello Jared," said Gaeus, "There was once a great mage named Halciot a long time ago. Not much is written about him, but he was much bigger than me in many ways."
"Thanks Gaeus," Jared replied.
Lina and Jared headed home. Suddenly, Jared asked, "Master, you haven't Fireballed anyone on this quest. What lesson do you want to teach me from this?"
Lina looked at her young apprentice. "That's a simple one. There are just some times where you can't find a reason to Fireball. As much as I hate to admit it."

When they got home, Gourry and Jerin were waiting for them. "We've found all the Wisdoms, and Jared now knows what he wants to," Lina stated, "I say this calls for a celebration. Let's make this the biggest dinner we've ever had."
So Lina took out all of the food she could carry. The food she'd gotten was even more that she and Gourry ate in a week. And that's saying something! After getting all the food, she used her magic to cook the food on a bonfire.
When it was all done, Lina, Gourry, and the twins began to eat. Bellgrape Juice was poured into everyone's cups. A toast was made, first to Lina and Gourry's engagement, and then to Jared's magical success. They spent the whole night partying and having a good time.
After a few hours, Lina and Gourry sent the twins to bed. But they stayed up for a little while longer watching the stars. Lina held onto Gourry's hand and gave him a smile. The swordsman put his arm around her shoulder, and gave her a kiss.

The next day, Lina and Gourry decided to go to Geo to look at the local style of wedding gowns. Once there, they went to the shop and began to window shop. Lina tried on several styles, each one looking just right for a sorceress, but not for Lina. Especially since they were mostly low cut gowns, and at least one person would comment on the chest.
"I don't know what to do Gourry. I want this wedding to be perfect. But how can it be if I can't even find a good dress," she whined.
As they were leaving, they noticed that Gilbert's statue was missing. Wondering what went on, they went to ask Gobi. The fishman told the duo that he'd sold it to Kristie a few weeks before she had given him her business in return for the medicine.
So they went right away to the Arts Palace. In the storeroom, they found the missing statue. Lina walked over to get a better look.
He began to lament on his situation. "Mina, I came to a town you knew not, fell in love with a woman you knew not, and sang a song you knew not. A rabbit merchant came and sold me to a woman with wealth, and now I'm sitting in this cold and dirty storeroom. I cannot cry, for I have become stone. Oh how I wish to hear your voice again."
Lina went to ask Sotherbee what they planned to do with the statue. He told them, "We don't quite know what to do with it. Maybe I shouwd try another sawes pitch. Wike, hewps prevent cowapsing roofs." He began to laugh at his own joke.
Lina went home to find out if she had any spells that would cure petrification. Although Gilbert was annoying, she thought that maybe Mina would appreciate having him back, since they were still friends. Maybe even enough to give Lina a reward.
Her eyes fell on the curse charm. Stone was technically a curse, so maybe it'd help. Besides, she could always ask the Jumi for another if it was a one-time use item. But when they returned to Geo, he was gone.
