Cyris: You asked for it!! Now you get another chapter! But also, could somebody read my other stories and review, PWWWEEEZZZEEE!!!!! If I don't get reviews for those, I won't put up my ULTIMATLY ROMANTIC XEL-FI FIC!!!!!!!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! Guess what, I had a weird dream last night!

Xellos: What was it about?

Cyris: Slayers.

Xellos: A particular person?

Cyris:...

Xellos: Well?

Cyris: Shut up, Xellos.

Xellos: WHEN have you started calling me "Xellos"? It was usually Xel, or Xel-kun, or Xellie, or 'lil Namagomi-

Cyris: WHEN have I called you 'lil Namagomi?

Xellos: Just now.

Cyris: ...that doesn't count!!

Xellos: Ah! So you do!! And you DID!!

Cyris: *blushes*

Filia: *comes in carrying book* Do what?

Xellos: She had a dream last night about me!

Filia: *drops book* You had a dream about...HIM!?!?!

Xellos: And she wants to call me 'lil Namagomi!!

Cyris: No I don't!!!

Disclaimer: This is the LAST disclaimer I'm putting up for this story. Read and weep. I don't own Slayers, but I own Sahannah and Rallo (he's the butler, read in the beginning of "New Arrivals" for more information on him. Look for keyword "Rallo"). Also, the little surprise hidden in the story was a request from... (tell me if you want your name here!)

~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~" ~"~"~"~"~"~

"We're we going to find a floating tower?"

"Obviously up in the sky." Xellos said, gazing upward at the ceiling.

"Xellos... we aren't going to get this over if you keep on clowning around!" Xellos sighed and anonymously reached out and grabbed something.

"Hey, that butler guy left an apple in here," Xellos said, looking at the fruit in his hand. He looked over at where the apple was and picked up a note. "Hey, look at this! 'This apple is the Memory Fruit. There is only one tree of it in the whole world, and biting into it brings back memories, or gives the eater a vision to the future. The effects usually last when the eater is in a subconscious state.' Hmm..." Xellos looked at the fruit some more.

"You don't think that the apple tree that we slept at a day ago has anything to do with this 'Memory Fruit'?" Xellos shrugged.

"I haven't a clue." Filia remembered when she had that dream, that Xellos was "attacked". Had that anything to do with those mysterious apples? Maybe...

"So were do we start looking?"

"Why ask me? I say we finish our nice little cruise first."

"I think it's almost done." Xellos said, looking out a window.

"Done? It was supposed to be a few days!!" Xellos nodded.

"Yeah, but just in case you didn't see, there was a sign in the harbor that said that it stops at a different port before continuing onto the island."

"Oh. Should we get off here?" Filia asked. Xellos shrugged.

"Well, it would get us away from Lina and Co., but there's still a possibility that they'll get off on this spot," Xellos replied. Filia nodded in agreement.

"I say we got off here."

"When do you get to make all the fine-point decisions??"

"Since forever!" Filia argued. The butler then walked in. "When did you get the key??" Filia shot at him.

"I've had one all along," he replied calmly. He took out a bag of something and placed it on the table, then left.

"What are those?" Filia asked. Xellos, being the one closer to the bag, opened it.

"??? Apples?" Xellos asked questionably. Filia shrugged and grabbed one, sinking her teeth into it.

"Mmmm... these are good! Almost better then the ones on that tree!" Xellos grabbed one, too, and ate it. Once the were done eating out the whole sack, the headed up deck to wait for the ship to dock. "Well, I couldn't say that trip was fascinating. We should've asked the butler about those apples..." Filia sighed. Xellos wasn't to interested in the apples, but more on where to go.

"Filia, do you think we should go to Hippileé or Helardwé? Filia?" Xellos looked over at Filia, who was staring absent-mindedly at the sky. "Filia?" He waved a hand in front of her face, snapping her out of her trance.

"Wha-?"

"Hippileé or Helardwé?" Filia stared at him.

"Huh...? Oh, ... how about Hippileé?" Xellos shrugged and walked in that direction, Filia following. Soon they came to a fork in the path. They were both normal paths, but a giant, jagged cliff split them. They both shrugged and went down separate paths.

"Where're you going, Fi-chan?"

"This way," she said, stopping and pointing.

"But that's not the right way!"

"How do you know?"

"Because this way is the right way!!" Xellos answered, pointing down the right path. Filia frowned.

"THIS way leads to Hippileé!"

"No it doesn't!"

"Yes it does!"

"Filia, Filia," Xellos said, walking over to her.

"What?!" Filia sot at him.

"MY PATH IS THE RIGHT WAY!!"

"NO IT ISN'T!" Xellos calmed down and brought his face centimeters from Filia's.

"Filia, my path is the right way," he cooed, moving Filia's hair out of her face and behind her ear.

"No it isn't!" Filia hissed. Xellos purred, causing her to blush.

"It is." Xellos kissed Filia gently on the lips, and walked off. Filia was shocked. She touched her fingers to her lips. Xellos had... kissed her. She knew she was turning red. Very red. "Bye, Fi-chan!!" Xellos waved to her, darting down the right path.

"Xellos," Filia whispered. "NAMAGOMI, YOU'RE GONA PAY FOR THAT!!" Filia darted after Xellos, her mace high, ready to catch him.

"Ah! Like the good 'ole days!"

"XELLOS, I HEARD THAT!!"

~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~" ~"~"~"~"~"~

Cyris: A possible little twist of fate! Hehehe... if you like that little part, then you'll LOVE the ending!!!!

Filia: *flips through script* You can't make that happen!!

Cyris: *holds up pen* Ah, but I can!!

~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~" ~"~"~"~"~"~

"Why did you do that?" Xellos panted, rubbing the back of his head.

"Because you did what you got punished for!"

"What! It's just a little teenage fun!"

"TEENAGE FUN!?!" Filia roared. "We're not teenagers!!" Xellos shrugged. He obviously didn't care. They walked into Hippileé, to see a little out of normal.

"Something's not right here..." Xellos whispered. Filia rolled her eyes.

"Of course something's not right! There's nobody here!"

"I think I know why."

"What, then?!" Xellos pointed to a point in the sky near the other side of the town. Filia's eyes widened. "What is it?!?!"

"It looks like a floating castle." Filia elbowed Xellos. "OW!! You hurt me enough already, today!"

~

"WHADDYA MEAN THE SHIP WON'T SAIL FOR THREE DAYS?!?!?!" Lina roared at the captain.

"Uh, er... ma'am... there's... uh, a little d-di-ficutly at one u-u-u-u- of... at one of the tttowns...please wait," the captain stuttered.

"Lina, calm down. We won't get there if you blow up the ship."

"Whaddya mean CALM DOWN, Mr. Optimistic?!?!"

~

"How are we going to get up there?" Filia shrugged.

"I don't know."

"We could fly, or teleport..."

"We can't. I've already tried."

"This will be hard..." Xellos sighed. The floating castle was about a mile or two up and covered a great deal of space. A space that defiantly couldn't be run across in a day or two.
