"Yay! No work! Now we can spend all our money!"

"Then we would have to work more."

"Oh, great." They were walking down the market, seeing if there was anything worth buying. Filia was going to ask Xellos a question, but forgot about it when she looked at him. He was happily licking ice cream.

"Where'd you get that?"

"Back there," Xellos answered, jabbing and thumb behind him. Filia looked back there.

"There's nothing back there! You didn't steal it, did you?"

"If I told you that it was free, would you believe me?"

"No," Filia said simply. She closed her eyes and relaxed. Until she ran into someone.

"Ouch! Watch were your go- Filia?" Filia looked up and saw a Mazokus' worst fear: Amelia.

"Oh, crap," Filia whispered. She took a deep breath and screamed, "FIRE!!!!!" Chaos started instantly. Filia jumped up and grabbed Xellos, who was getting lost in this sea of chaos.

"Good job, Filia!" Xellos said with a smile. "You're learning!"

"Shut up!" Filia pulled him into an alley and they hid in the shadows. The four ran past and didn't seem to see the two hidden. "You still have that?" Filia hissed at Xellos. He smiled, licking his ice cream.

"What the- Filia?" Amelia backed up looking into the alley. The rest caught up soon. Filia grabbed the nearest part of Xellos, which turned out to be his hair, and teleported up to the roof.

"Ow!"

"They're up there!" Lina levitated up to the roof, and checked it out. Filia reached back and grabbed the nearest part of Xellos again, only to grab his ice cream after it splattered over his face. Filia chucked the cone at Lina and teleported herself and Xellos to the inn.

"That was close!"

"My ice cream!" Filia looked over at Xellos, and laughed. He had ice cream all over his face and one of his hands.

"Go take a shower!" Xellos did and Filia rested on her bed. She was about to hum Xellos' song to try to get to sleep, but someone tried to open the room door. Filia started inching towards the edge of her bed. There was a loud crack in the door as the lock broke. Filia fell off the bed with a thump. She peeked over the top of the bed and watched Lina and Co. enter the room.

"Thanks, Zel." Filia scrambled under the bed and teleported to the bathroom, turning of the light in there.

"I think I heard one of them under the bed."

"Filia? What are you doing in here?" Xellos whispered hurriedly.

"Be quiet! I'm not looking! Get dressed!"

"Where're my clothes?"

"Over here!"

"I can't see!"

"Duh!"

"Okay, I'm ready. Where're we going?" Xellos asked as if he knew what was going on.

"Somewhere not here!"

"Okay, I'm re- My staff!"

"Forget it!"

"My staff! I've gotta have it!" Filia sighed and teleported under Xellos' bed, grabbed his staff, as well as catching the attention of the unwanted company in the room. Filia teleported to the bathroom and handed Xellos his staff. Then they teleported downstairs and paid for their room, then teleported to the roof. "What are we doing here?"

"Looking."

"For what?"

"A place to go." Xellos pointed to a river near the town.

"How about someplace there?" Filia looked at the directed place.

"Looks good! Let's go!" She teleported them to a little clearing next to a stream. Xellos sat next to stream and looked across while Filia teleported herself into a tree. She started humming Xellos' song to calm her nerves.

"Hey!" Xellos turned around and watched Filia hum and rest.

"The trees are mine now, little man!" Filia was able to say before she dozed off. Xellos got some water in his cupped hands and splashed it at Filia.

"Stop it!" she whined before going back to sleep. "Sleeping is hard nowadays!"

"Is it?"

"Shut up, Namagomi." Xellos got up to sit under the tree next to Filia's. He was about to go to sleep when-

"Ow!" Xellos rubbed his head and looked at Filia. She was sleeping peacefully in the boughs of her tree. Then he looked down next to him. An innocent red apple sat next to him. Xellos picked it up and looked into the higher branches of the tree. It was an apple tree. He walked over to the stream and washed the apple off. It gleamed in the sun, and it just looked delicious. Xellos bit into the apple and let its wonderful taste spread through his mouth. He went back to the apple tree and sat against it. When he was done, he tossed the core across the river and went to sleep. When Filia woke up, she felt something on her head. She picked it up and looked at it. It was an apple. She wasn't really hungry, but, oh well. She teleported to the stream and washed it off. She teleported back and ate the apple, enjoying its taste. When she was done, she tossed the rest near the stream. Filia looked down at Xellos, who was snoozing at the base of the apple tree. How could someone so peaceful be so powerful? Filia asked herself. She may never know why. Xellos looked so cute when he wore white. Filia blushed at the thought before continuing onto slumber.
