EVE-- "Ya know, I'm feeling kinda bored right now. Entertain me."

"How?" Asked Phibrizo.

EVE-- "I said, ENTERTAIN ME!!!!"

Phibrizo looked around panickedly for a good destraction. Zelgadis, who also did not wish to incure the wrath of the psychotic writer, frowned in thought for a second and then whispered something in Phibby's ear.

There were some shuffles, the sound of wood being sawed, and suddenly standing in the center of the mysteriously enlarged cavern was a little stage with a red curtain drawn across the surface. Angry voices spoke in quiet tones from behind it.

EVE-- "I'm waiting…"

There was a crack of electricity and a horrible scream. Suddenly the curtain was drawn back. Zelgadis stood there in the center, smoking slightly and wearing puffy clothes with lots of frills and lace. Before him was Phibrizo, dressed similarly but in a dress instead of a tunic and hose. His hair had been curled slightly and framed his face beautifully.

EVE-- *smirks*

Zelgadis-- "Oh, Phib -- uh -- Phil … ly … you look so beautiful tonight."

Philly-- "Why thank you, Zel … ger. You also look … very *twitch* handsome."

Zelger-- "Then come, let us go to the ball."

Philly-- "Okay."

The curtain closed. When it opened again there was a huge disco ball hanging from the ceiling and Zelgadis and Phibrizo were attempting to dance.

Zelger-- "OW! You little fu -- er, Philly, you stepped on my foot. Don't you know how to dance?"

Philly-- "No, Zelger. Why don't you teach me?" *bats eyelashes*

Zelger-- "It's easy. See, look at my feet. Side, side, back. Side, side, back.

Philly-- "Uh, Zelger, I'm no expert at dancing, but … isn't this 'swing' dancing or something? I don't think that this has been invented yet. This is a ball."

Zelger-- *glares* "Oh yes, that's right … please forgive me. I don't know how to dance like that very well, so just--" *twitch* "--hold onto me and let's sway to the music."

Philly-- "Alright then."

They started spinning around on the makeshift stage, trying to stay as far away from each other as possible while still holding each to himself.

Philly--"I am thirsty. Why don't you get me some punch?"

Zelger--"All right."

Zelgadis walked off the stage. Phibrizo looked disinterestedly at the spot where he'd disappeared to.

Philly--"Oh, my … who is that girl Zelger is talking to? Why is he--" *gasp* "--he is kissing her! Oh, I feel so betrayed … there is only one solution. Oh, Zelger!"

Zegadis walked back on stage, looking nervous.

Zelger--"Uh … yes?"

Philly--"Did you get me some punch?"

Zelger--"Yes … here it is, dear."

Philly--"Thank you so much … but y'know, I don't feel so thirsty anymore. You drink it."

Zelger--"What?"

Philly--"You drink it."

Zelger--"No."

He stared at Phibby with an extremely confused (and mildly alarmed) expression, cursing the day that his mother has conceived him.

Phibrizo sighed. Then he pulled out a sword from … somewhere … let's just say, cyberspace, shall we? Grasping it firmly in his hands, he shoved it through Zelgadis's left kidney.

Philly--"Oh no, Zelger! If only I hadn't been so jealous. Oh well, at least now I can get back those CDs I lent you."

The curtains closed.

EVE--*applauds* "Bravo! Encore!"

Just then, Zelgadis fell through the curtains. As he dropped he grabbed on to one of them, causing the entire thing to come crashing down on him.

EVE--*winces* "Oops … I forgot about all those injuries you gave him before, Phibrizo … ew, he leaked blood all over the stage."

Phibrizo made a little noise of disgust. "Ugh … he got blood all over my dress!"

EVE--"I guess we'd better give him a little while to recover. Now Phibby, I want you to stay right here and watch him okay? And if he has so much as another scratch on him when I get back, I'll gut you with a rusty fork … got it?"

"Where are you going?"

EVE--"Well, I've left Lina and Xellos alone together for a good five minutes now … and … well … oh, I've gotta go!"

"Hey, wait! You can't just leave me here! I'm sure that Zelly will be fine lying here unconcious … pleeeeaase?"

EVE--"Sorry, no can do. It' s too dangerous."

"Oh, come on … what could have happened?"
