Chapter 5: Halloween
Lina tapped her foot impatiently on the ground.
" Where is he? He's late!" They were in front of Lina's house, waiting for Xellos who had agreed to bring them to Garv's place. Gourry went with Sylfiell who had forgiven him, and Filia said that she's rather die then sit in Xellos's car.
"Xellos-san will be arriving any minute soon, Lina-san." Amelia said.
Lina growled. " He's three minutes late!"
Amelia sweatdropped. " Three minutes isn't long!"
" It is!" Lina protested.
" Ne, Lina-san, what are you dressed as?"
" Can't you see? I'm Lina Inverse, the Bamdit Killer!" she said proudly.
" But you're wearing ordinary clothes."
" That's because no matter what I wear I'm still Lina Inverse the Bandit Killer!" Lina snapped.
Amelia blinked. " Hai..."
" What are you anyway?" Lina asked
" I AM THE STAR OF JUSTICE! WOE TO ALL EVIL DOERS WHO CROSSES MY PATH!" Amelia screamed, striking a post.
Lina coughed and pretended not to know her. Amelia pouted.
" Lina-chan! Ah...Here he comes." Amelia said excitedly as she jumped up and down, her star costume bouncing up and down. A black Ferrari sped down the driveway, knocking over dustbins and scaring birds and cats.
" Hi!" Xellos said cheerfully, while Lina gaped at the car, her mouth wide open.
" Lina-chan what are dressed as, a fish?" Xellos grinned.
" Shaddup!" She snapped as she got into the car after Amelia.
"Ne, Xellos-san. What are you?" Amelia asked Xellos who was wearing a large moldy trenchcoat with an enormous sword slung across his shoulders. His hair was pulled back a ribbon hung loosely in his hair.
" Let me guess...you're a crazy fruitcake who dumped anything you can find at home on yourself?" Lina asked sarcastically.
Xellos grinned, before deepening is voice." I'm Garv!"
Lina and Amelia sweatdropped.
" Why didn't you wear your priest costume?" Amelia asked
Xellos raised his eyebrows. " She?"
" Hai." Lina nodded.
" Congratulations, Your royal highness!" Xellos crowed before letting of some fireworks.
Lina rolled her eyes. " Can you start driving? And where did you get those fireworks from?"
Xellos chuckled. " Sore wa himitsu desu" He said as he started the engine
" Ne, Xellos-san, you have a license at such a young age?" Amelia asked curiously.
"Nope, But don't worry, I know how to drive this baby." Xellos grinned as the car jerked forward.
" NANI??!!" Amelia and Lina screamed in horror as the car sped down the street, swung around corners at high speed and went onto the pedestrians pathway, nearly knocking over people.
" LET US OFF! LET US OFF!" Amelia and Lina screeched as they clung to each other in fright.
Xellos laughed madly. " Woohoo, to Garv's place we go!!!"
The car flew down the road, narrowly missing collision with other cars as it didn't stop at red lights and pedestrians crossing signs. After ten minutes of crazy driving, the car rammed into Garv's garage's door and stopped.
Garv flung his door open and yelled at Xellos. " Oi! Watch it!"
Lina and Amelia fell out of the car, shaking madly, Lina threw up on Garv's porch while Amelia lay there, her stars and moons circling her.
" I could pass off as a perfect zombie now..." Lina moaned.
Garv who was dressed as a werewolf sweatdropped. " Come on in!"
Lina got up shakily, as while Xellos skipped merrily into the house.
" Lina-chan...A little help here?" Amelia moaned from the ground.
Garv ushered them in. The house was decorated with jack-o- lanterns and disgusting masks. Green slime dripped down the walls and haunting laughter from a tape recorder filled the place. Green and red lights shone from light bulbs hanging from the ceiling. Garv introduced them to his friends. " That's Lanngourt in that corner..." A brown hairied teenager waved cheerfully to them. " ...And that's Aya..." Garv pointed at a girl who had blue hair and was dressed as a fisherman. Lina recognized them as Earth Dragon King and Deep Sea Dolphin respectively. "...And that dude that's seating in front of the television is Valtierria." Lina's mouth dropped open. " Valgarv?"
" Yeah, and Phibby couldn't come. He had to visit his parents in Nevada.
" On Halloween?" Lina asked incredulously. " And doesn't he stay with his parents?"
"No. He stays with me. And his parents treat Halloween like a major event, like Thanksgiving or Christmas."
" Hi..." The door opened again.
" Ah, Filia, Sylfiell and Gourry! Nice costume, Gourry!" Garv grinned.
Gourry smiled broadly and wobbled towards Lina. " Hi, Lina!"
Lina sweatdropped. " Gourry...You're dressed as..."
" A jellyfish!" He said cheerfully before attacking the food table. Sylfiell was dressed as a nurse and Filia still wore her normal clothes.
" Val! What a surprise!" Filia aid as she walked over to Valtierria.
" Hey! Filia baby!" Val shouted.
Lina blinked. " You guys know each other?"
Filia blushed. " We met each other in the library."
" Whoa dude, watcha doing in a library??" Garv yelled.
" None of you fuckin business man!" He retorted
" What the fuck!" Garv shouted as he gave Valtierria a playful shove. Valtirria stumbled back.
" Whao whao, watch it, man!" Val hollered.
" You sure have weird taste in men, Fi-lia-chan!" Xellos whispered into her ear.
" Eeeack!" Filia shrieked. From under her skirt, she pulled out a hammer and slammed it into Xellos's face.
" Whao...An alternative weapon to Mace-sama..." Lina remarked, amazed
" Way to go, Filia baby!" Val shouted as he patted her on the head, while Xellos lay on the floor, twitching.
Filia blushed.
Lina sighed. " This two are a perfect match..."
Upon hearing that, Filia and Valtierria blushed madly.
Then, the doorbell rang.
" Hey, Zel! Welcome!" Garv roared, as he pulled in a hooded teenager "Don't be shy, have a seat."
" Zel??" Lina and Amelia gasped.
The boy pulled off his hood and stared at them. " Lina...Amelia?"
" Zelgadis!!!" Lina wailed as she jumped onto him, hugging him tightly. " I missed you soo much. Amelia followed suit, laughing happily.
" What the fuck..." Garv muttered.
" Ahh...A happy reunion." Xellos remarked from the floor.
Zelgadis sweatdropped as he pulled Lina and Amelia off him.
" Let's talk outside shall we?'
"You guys remember everything?" Zelgadis asked.
" Yeah! Amelia just remembered, but I have my memories since young!" Lina said.
" Zelgadis-san...You're human!" Amelia shouted.
Zelgadis smiled. " Yeah, I finally got my wish."
" Congratulations!" Lina smiled happily as she thumped him on the back.
" Ack!" Zel choked. " How about Gourry? And Filia?"
" They don't remember a thing." Lina muttered.
" Do you plan to tell them?"
" Do you think it would be a wise idea?" Amelia asked.
" You've grown up, Amelia." Zel remarked.
She blushed. " Really?"
Lina snorted. " Enjoy yourself." Sighing, Lina went back into the house.
" Lina-san...Ne, Zel, how did you meet Garv?"
" I go to the same school as Valtierria, Lanngourt and Aya. They introduced me to Garv." Zelgadis said as he ran his fingers through his hair. "I had a shock when I first saw them. But they don't remember a thing...Amelia, have you had any weird dreams lately?"
" Lina said she had dreams on red and golden lights and evil laughter." Amelia frowned. " Ah...I remember. I had a dream where I saw a pair of red eyes..."
" Red eyes. Do you think it's Shabranigdu's?" Zelgadis muttered
Amelia shuddered. " I...I don't know! Zel, what if he was reincarnated like us too?"
Zelgadis smiled as he patted Amelia's shoulders. " Don't worry. We defeated him once, we can defeat him again."
Amelia smiled happily as she looked at the stars. Zelgadis was back, it would all be the same again. She thought.
Inside the house, Lina was ranting. " Dammit, that jellyfish! Why must I fall in love with a jellyfish of all things? Give me another glass!"
Aya, deep sea dolphin sighed as she patted Lina's back. " I understand Lina-san, but you mustn't drink so much. It's bad for the body."
Lanngourt sweatdropped. " I didn't know that one can get drunk drinking coke..."
" Shaddap!" Lina snapped.
" Yeah, you guys are all like that!" Aya shouted as she gulped down a glass of coke.
Lanngourt blinked rapidly. " Now what's your problem Aya"
Lina laughed bitterly. " I love him so much, yet he doesn't even look at me."
" Ahh Lina-san, I understand!!" Aya shouted as she hugged Lina. Then the both of them started singing songs about unfaithful boyfriends and broken hearts.
Lanngourt sweatdropped and inched away from them. " Girls...You can never understand them."
"...Ne, Lina-san, who do you love?" Aya asked
" Jellyfish..." Lina moaned
" ...Ah...You poor thing!" Aya sobbed as the two girls hugged each other again and started 'crying' loudly.
By this time, Lanngourt had already dashed to the couch and was shaking uncontrollably.
" What's your fucking problem man?!" Valtierria roared. " Don't be such a goddamn ninny!"
" Aw, shaddap Val! Someone's fucking trying to watch a show down here!" Garv yelled from the other end of the couch.
"Curse the Gods! What fucking show are you watching?!" Val hollered
" Reign of Fire! Dammit! This fucking dragon here is killing people and I want to fucking watch it!"
*Thwack*
" WHAT THE FUCK??!!" Garv roared.
" Dragons are not evil! Dragons don't kill people!" Filia screamed as she whacked Garv's head with her hammer.
Lina turned around, staring at Filia in shock.. Heck, everyone was staring at her.
" Man, we all know that Dragons are evil. They blow up towns and stomp around in their overweight body." Lanngourt said.
Lina bit back laughter. She should record this down and show it to Lanngourt when he gets back his memories.
"The Earth Dragon King saying that dragons are evil. L- sama...The world's coming to an end." Lina giggled.
Aya blinked curiously at her. " I like dragons! They're cute and adorable. And they can fly! Wouldn't it be great to fly?" She said excitedly.
Lina stared at her. Ok ...Here's a Mazoku Lord saying that dragons are adorable.Oh man, I SHOULD record this down! Lina thought.
" What's wrong? Don't you think dragons are cute?" Aya asked.
" I agree! Dragons are nice creatures! And why are you laughing, Namagomi?!" Filia shrieked at Xellos, who was rolling n the floor, clutching his stomach.
" Do you...Hate* Gasp* dragons, Lanngourt?" Xellos asked as he tried to catch his breath.
" Of course!" Lanngourt yelled. " They're huge and evil and scaly!"
Upon hearing that, Xellos collapsed into silent laughter again.
" Aya, you like drgons?" A quiet voice asked.
Lina turned back and saw Zelgadis. Amelia was taking food from the food table.
" Hi Zel, how far have the two of you gone?" Lina grinned
" What?" Zel asked then he understood Lina's meaning and blushed madly. "There's nothing going on between us!"
Suddenly, Aya stood up. " Those who agree with me that dragons are cute and adorable raise your hands!" She yelled.
Three hands went up.
" WHAT THE FUCK??!!"
" What's your fucking problem, man,!?" Val yelled at Garv.
" I didn't know you like dragons!" Garv roared.
" You never told me that too!" Val hollered.
" Man, why didn't you tell me you fucking like dragons!?" Garv shouted.
" You didn't fucking ask!" Val yelled.
Lina sweatdropped. " I don't believe this, Dolphin, Garv and Valgarv like dragons...Aren't they supposed to hate them?" She whispered to Zelgadis.
Zelgadis who was staring at them gave Lina a bewildered look. " I have no idea. The things reincarnation do to people..."
Garv and Val were still yelling about dragons while Filia was cheering them on. Xellos had probably passed out from laughing too much and was now lying on the floor, giving a violent shake every now and then. Lanngourt was trying desperately to tell them about the evil of dragons, but shut up after Garv and Valtierria threatened to pound him. Sylfiell was busy wiping sauces off Gourry's chin and shirt as he stuffed food into his mouth. Amelia had came back with a large pile of food for Lina.
" I wonder what will happen if they get back their memories now." Lina chuckled as she munched on a breadstick.
" All hell would break loose..." Zel sighed.
A/N: Next chapter would be the most exciting one, i swear!!! *Bursts into tears* Thi is a really weird chapter. But it's really amusing that the mazokus like dragons and the ryuuzokus hate dragons.*laughs* Anyway, I apologize to those who expected to see Phibby-kun in this chapter. I forgot all about him!!! ( can you believe it??) Tell you people the truth, my favourite slayers character is Dynast(
Lina tapped her foot impatiently on the ground.
