Title: Slayers Rhapsody

Disclaimer: I own nothing in the story

Lina and Amelia now arrive in Mothergreen and head over to the registration table.

Lina: I'd like to register for the Miss Marl's Contest.

Registration Girl: Sure just fill this form out here, here, and here. Thank you. The contest will be held in three days.

Amelia: So are you registered Miss Lina?

Lina: Yeah. Everything's all set. Here is the list of rules.

Amelia: Let me see that. *Snatches it away from Lina* Hmm, it says to wear a dress that makes you look beautiful. Now that doesn't seem very just like.

*A loud obnoxious laugh is suddenly heard*

Naga: Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha. *Naga jiggles in* Did I hear you right Lina. You are entering the contest?

Lina: Yeah, so?

Naga: *Major shocked look on her face* You can't be serious. Don't you know you're way in over your head?

Amelia: Miss Lina can do anything she sets her mind to. Isn't that right, Miss Lina?

Lina: That's right. Just you wait Naga. I'll knock the silicon right out of you.

Naga: Well! I see you can't be persuaded. Of course you really don't stand a chance seeing as how I've bought all the dresses, but give it your best shot anyways. Ta ta for now. *She flounces out of the registration center*

Amelia: The nerve of her. You sure show her, won't you Miss Lina?

Lina: You heard what she said though. She already bought all the dresses.

Amelia: let's head over to the dress shop anyways. Maybe they've got one stored away in storage.

Lina: Oh goody...

*Now over in the dress shop*

Old Man: I'm sorry Miss but Etoile has already placed a three-year order. I can make you one after that if you'd like.

Lina: Oh that won't do any good. Is there anywhere else where I could find a dress?

Old Man: Well there is the old theater in the woods but...

Lina: This is great. I'm sure a place like that would have a dress.

Old Man: Wait Miss. You mustn't go there. They say the place is haunted and that anyone who goes there vanishes. YOU'LL NEVER RETURN! *Gets all up close and scares the crap out of Lina and Amelia*

Lina: AGGHH! MISTER, YOU'RE SCARING ME MORE! *Punches the guy with a right hook and knocks him into the wall*

Amelia: Miss Lina, that wasn't really nice.

Old Man: If you insist on going then I suggest you take these as well. *Rummages in a chest and pulls out two costumes. One is a pink horse and the other is a yellow star*

*Outside the dress shop*

Lina: What a crazy old man. I wonder why he gave us these silly things?

Amelia: Maybe it's because you hit him a little too hard?

Lina: *starts to show a fang* Grrr, let's just head over to that theater in the Wonder Woods.

*Now in the Wonder Woods*

Amelia: We should be to the area the old man was talking about and.... sniff sniff. Hey Miss Lina, do you smell that?

Lina: Yeah, it smells like BBQ.

Amelia: Miss Lina, might I ask a favor?

Lina: Let me guess, you want to eat what you're smelling?

Amelia: Yeah, I'm really hungry.

Lina: *sigh* OK. I guess we can stop for a little bi... *Lina's stomach growls loud enough to shake the trees*

Amelia: *tee hee* I think you're hungry too Miss Lina. Let's go.

*Lina and Amelia shortly arrive at the source of the smell*

Amelia: Hmm, I guess that changed the theater into a BBQ Restaurant. Hurry Miss Lina.

Lina: All right already.

*Inside the restaurant*

Amelia: I'm really super hungry so let's choose the door for big eaters.

*Inside the room for big eaters*

Lina: Hmm, I wonder what this sign says?

Sign: To improve the taste of your food we've provided the following obstacles!

Amelia: What do they mean "obstacles"?

Lina: Uh, I think they mean that. *Points to the enemies that have appeared*

Amelia: Ohh, those obstacles!

Lina: Whatever, FIREBALL!

Amelia: Well done Miss Lina, let's move on.

*In the next room*

Amelia: Look it's another sign. *Reads the sign*

Sign: Step on the salt to revitalize your body!

Lina: Hey there is salt on the floor. How weird.

Amelia: Look Miss Lina. More enemies.

Lina: Yeah, it figures. MEGA BRANDO.

Amelia: Way to go Miss Lina.

*Now in the third room*

Amelia: *rather sarcastic*Oh look, another sign.

Lina: *sigh* What does this one say?

Sign: The combination of sweating and food makes it taste better!

Amelia: Eww, but why is it so hot in here?

*More enemies appear*

Lina: I'm getting so tired of this. Lets cool things off a bit. DEMONA CRYTSAL!

Amelia: Miss Lina, the smell seems to be coming from the next room.

*They enter the following room and find...! *

Lina: Oh this is so creepy. What's with all these dolls?

Creepy Doll: Who are you calling creepy?

Amelia: AGGGHH, THIS PLACE REALLY IS HAUNTED. LET'S GET OUT OF HERE MISS LINA! *Grabs Lina's arm and runs into the previous room*

Lina: Now what are we supposed to do?

Amelia: Um, maybe that's why that old man gave us these? *Holds up the horse and star costumes*

Lina: *major sweat drop* Oh boy....

*A few minutes later*

Lina: I can't believe I, Lina Inverse the Sorcery Genius, am stuck in this ridiculous outfit. You look Ok in that starfish outfit, Amelia.

Amelia: It is not a starfish. This is the Star of Justice!

Lina: Whatever. Let's go Amelia.

*Now back into the doll infested room.

Lina: Hey it seems to be working. But wait, what's that. *Points over to wear a bunch of small cats and a big cat are tied up*

Big Cat: Help me! My name is Burg and these crazy dolls tied me up and took over my restaurant.

Amelia: Poor Mister Burg.

Creepy Doll: AND NOW WE'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU! *Swoops down toward Lina*

Lina: I don't think so. DRAGON SLAVE!

*In the process Lina's spell disintegrates the dolls, frees the cats, and knocks a portrait off the wall*

Amelia: Wow, those cats sure took of fast. They didn't even thank us. How unjust.

Lina: Never mind that. That portrait was covering a hole in the wall. Maybe some things are still left behind from when this place was a theater?

*They enter the room behind the painting. Amelia and Lina start to look aroud*

Amelia: I don't see anything Miss Lina.

Lina: Me neither. There's nothing but dust bunnies.

Amelia: Yeah. Hmm, wait a minute. What's that in the corner?

Lina: Whoa! That is the biggest dust bunny I've ever seen.

Amelia: It's kind of cute though...

Lina: Whatever. I think it looks kind of funny.

Amelia: Hey miss Lina. Maybe you could wear that to the contest. *Giggle*

Lina: It still looks like a rag to me.

*Suddenly they hear a voice*

Annoyed Voice: Do you mind not talking about me like I don't even exist?

Amelia: Whaaa, it talks Miss Lina.

Lina: Wow, so you're alive? But then, why are you here?

Annoyed Voice: Yes. I may not look it but I was once a normal human being like you two. However I was turned into this monsterous Chimera that I see before you. And because I look like a monster people tend to act rather quickly towards me. One day I had to hide and the only thing I could find was this ridiculous bunny costume. Now the damn zipper is stuck. I was still on the run and ended up here. The painting was blocking the exit so I decided to take a little nap when you two showed up.

Amelia: *Sniff, sniff. Here eyes get all big and dewy* Oh, poor Mister Bunny. That's so sad.

Mister Bunny: Uh, yeah, sure, whatever...

Lina: Anyways, what's your name? Or would you rather just call you Mister Bunny?

Mister Bunny: *Sigh* My name is Zelgadis.

Amelia: Zelgadis? That's a nice name but how about Mister Bunny Wunny instead? It's much cuter?

Zelgadis: No.

Amelia: Zel-Kun?

Zelgadis: No.

Amelia: I know. We can call you Zelgabunny!

Zelgadis: NO! Damn, why do you have to be so cheerful. You're killing my bad mood. Now I need a cup of coffee.

Amelia: Sorry Mister Zelgadis

Lina: Anyways, now that the exit is unblocked what are you going to do, Zelgadis?

Zelgadis: I was planning on looking for a cure to this stone skin.

Lina: Hmm, why don't you come with us then?

Zelgadis: What?

Amelia: Yeah Mister Zelgadis. Lina's going to enter the Miss Marl contest and maybe she'll be able to ask the Queen if she knows about a cure.

Lina: That's right Zel.

Zelgadis: It sounds like the best lead I've had so far but...

Lina: But what?

Zelgadis: Well, it's bad enough walking around as a chimera, but I really don't think I should have to keep wearing this stupid outfit.

Lina: Ahh, I see. Well then, maybe this will help get that zipper unstuck. DIGGER BOLT!

Zelgadis: What the.... AGGGGGHHHHHHH!

*There's a loud boom as the bunny costume is blown up as well as the rest of the back room*
