Cyris: Wow... five reviews from just putting up that last story... I had another dream last night!

Xellos: You and dreams... was it about Slayers?

Cyris: No.

Xellos: What was it about, then?

Cyris: Yu-Yu Hokisho.

Xellos: ??? Erm, what?

Cyris: Oh! It's about this boy that knows something called a "Spirit Gun". The dream is that I knew how to use it. The Spirit Gun.

Xellos: Oh...

Cyris: The Spirit Gun is magic that attacks someone spiritually.

Xellos: I'm glad you don't know it.

Filia: I wish I did. *grins at thought*

Cyris: Anyways, two nights ago I did NOT dream about Xellos.

Xellos: Then who DID you dream about?

Cyris: Slayers.

Xellos: WHO?

Cyris: ...

Xellos: Gourry?

Cyris: *blushes* No.

Xellos: Rock boy?

Cyris: *blush disappears* No.

Xellos: *in romantic voice* Zelgadiss?

Cyris: *blushes more* No!

Xellos: Yes it was!!

Cyris: Not in that sense!!

Xellos: *makes kissing noises* Mch, mch, mch, mch, yes it was!

Cyris: It's how I came up with the idea for my Z/A love fic!

Xellos: *stops noises* Oh.

"Wait, you said you already tried?" Filia nodded. "Don't you have to be touching me to go more than fifteen feet?"

"You WERE touching me." Xellos blushed.

"Oh... so there's no way up there."

"As I see it." Filia looked around the otherwise deserted town. "I say we find an inn to spend the night in."

"But the town's deserted!" Filia smiled.

"And that's bad?" Xellos released her point.

"Oh. So, the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, or sixth one down?"

"? What do you mean?"

"Considering this place is deserted, it wouldn't kill to spend the night in someone's house."

"That doesn't seem right..."

"You're to be talking."

"Shut up Namagomi," Filia mumbled. They walked around for a while, looking for some form of life around. They knocked on doors, yelled in windows, and even went inside some. All, or at least most, seemed like everybody was taken straight from their everyday lives. It looked like it was near dinner for most families, and old half-eaten food laid on tables.

"I'm hungry," Xellos moaned, his hunger pretty obvious.

"Good for you."

"It's been so long since those apples..." Filia remembered them two, considering Xellos tried to act as carefree as possible in their conditions. Filia wasn't really liking it. Soon they came upon an inn that didn't seem so deserted. Sure, there was no one there, but it didn't seem as... empty. There was obviously a party because wine and beer was on almost all the tables, and some cake and other goodies were passed out.

"Oh, gosh, how long ago was this?" Filia grimaced. "It seems like HAPPY people were just here!"

"I know!" Xellos chirped happily. "Hey, this cake tastes good!" Filia looked at Xellos who was starting to eat an uneaten piece of cake.

"This party defiantly was earlier today." Xellos started wondering into the kitchen.

"Hey, where're you going?" a stern voice cried out. Xellos blinked a few times before backing up. He stepped into the kitchen. "Are you trying to get to my food?" Xellos stepped out and waved a hand into the kitchen doorway. "Are you mocking me?" Xellos and Filia both stifled giggles.

"I'm hungry," Xellos playfully moaned.

"Then eat the food laid out for you!" Xellos blinked.

"Laid out for us?"

"Yes, little lady, laid out for YOU!!" the voice screeched. Filia turned around and gasped at the turkey dinner instantly laid out on the table nearest the door.

"DIBS!!" Xellos yelled, darting past Filia, sitting himself down, and started gobbling down the turkey.

"This place is haunted!" Filia said as she sat herself across from Xellos and busied herself with the corn. After finishing, the leaned back in their seats to rest, only to open their eyes to see dessert: a pretty big cake. They were about to pounce on it when they realized it was a wedding cake. Filia dropped her utensils and got up, and Xellos looked at the cake. It was three layers, and on the top there were two figures. Xellos quickly released it was him and Filia. Looking closer at the Filia one, he found that figure was a little round around the middle. Xellos' jaw dropped. The Filia figurine was pregnant. Xellos sat back in his chair and pressed a hand to his forehead.

"I think I'm sick," he moaned.

"Why?" Xellos looked at Filia.

"You REALLY don't want to know. How about we go find a bedroom..." Filia shrugged and went upstairs, Xellos following close. There was only one room upstairs, and it was painted in a weird way. Different wood furnishings were used to make a design on the door.

"They're hearts." Xellos looked closer to realize that there were hearts decorated across the door. Both 'zokus blushed and opened the door.

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

Cyris: Oh, gosh! I can't believe what I'm writing! *giggles hysterically before put in a straight jacket and shipped away to get psychotic help*

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

Pink was everywhere. Pink wallpaper with red and white hearts lined the walls, dressers with red tinted wood and heart handles were on either side of the room and the bed was sickening.

"Oh, I think I'm gonna hurl..." Filia moaned weakly. She leaned against the door trying to relax. Xellos gaped open mouthed at the pink.

"What kind of trick is this?" he said. Filia shrugged as she walked wearily over to the stairs. Then screamed. Xellos went over to her to see that the dining room was furnished in almost the same way as their room. "Oh my... This CAN'T happen!" Filia leaned against the wall, fanning herself, considering she didn't have enough energy to do anything else. "What the..."

"What?" Filia whispered. She opened her eyes to see that the room had turned to normal, even dreary. The blood returned to her face. "I feel a little better," she sighed.

"Good for you," Xellos mumbled, returning to their room. Filia followed him. Upon entering their room, Xellos shut the door in Filia's face.

"Namagomi!" Filia yelled through the door. She opened it to find something hit her in the face. She pushed aside the paper spider to look at Xellos, who was chuckling silently on the bed. Filia made her way over there and sat next to him. "Why can't this just be a normal hotel?" she asked. Right before the two 'zokus' eyes, the room reverted to an otherwise normal room. The wood wasn't tinted, and the bed covers were violet and red mixture.

"THANK-YOU!" they both yelled in unison. Filia collapsed on the bed next to Xellos, and almost went to sleep instantly.

"Fi-chan?"

"Yes?"

"Where are you sleeping?"

"In the bed."

"Ah... Where am I sleeping?"

"In another bed if you don't be quiet."

"Ah."

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

Cyris: Please excuse the otherwise strange ending. I had an irresistible urge! :P
