It's been quite some time since I've updated! I was a poor victim of something called "writer's block". Eek.
Well anyway, I've recovered and I've devoted much of this chapter to Dolphin and Xelloss. More of L-sama in the 3rd chapter – I promise!
Remember to read & review! I feed off reviews…yummy. (^-^)

Chapter 2
A petite girl sat on a rock, dangling her feet in ocean. She twirled her long blue tresses absentmindedly with an innocent smile on her face.
Something caught her eye.
"Fishy fishy fishy…." she cooed, waving at the passing fish. "Ne? Isn't fishy fishy supposed to be extinct?"
*ZAP*
"….Oh well, now you are," she giggled. (^-^) Life was indeed beautiful.
At least for Deep Sea Dolphin, that is.
But she was bored. Killing supposedly extinct fish and luring stupid sailors to their deaths just wasn't fun anymore! What was an insane Dark Lord to do? Could she visit Dynast? Nope. She sniffed sadly, drawing her knees to her chin as she remembered Dynast had thrown her out of his palace for drawing on the walls with permanent marker pens. "Dynast no play with Dolphin anymore…Dynast meanie. MEANIE!" (u.u)
That didn't leave many other options - Gaav and Phibby were officially DEAD, and Shabby wasn't really in the condition to "play", considering he had been cut up into 7 pieces and scattered across L-sama-knows-where…which only left one final option:
Zelas.
"Ugly Zelas steals Dolphin's sparkly bracelets…not nice!" the blue haired girl huffed to herself, crossing her arms. (.)
She then decided to wallow in angst and self-pity for the rest of the millenium whilst taking a trip down Memory Lane, recalling the many many times in which "Meanie Zelas" had stolen her nice dresses and jewelry. That way, she wouldn't be bored! She nodded solemnly. "Hmm…yup! Dolphin do that and very happy!" (^-^)
So wallow in angst and self-pity she did. Shabby would've been so *cough* proud *cough* to know how his creations were spending their time if he weren't so busy writhing about in his grave. (-.-);
But Dolphin was busy, and that was what mattered most (according to her, anyway)! So busy, in fact, that she didn't notice the small purple blob in the sky falling at full speed towards her.
"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~"
She glanced upwards. "Ne---?"
*CRASH* *BANG* *CLANG*
After Dolphin's eyes finished being @_@, she became delighted when she noticed who had paid her a "visit". "Xelly-poo come to see Dolphin!" she beamed, immediately attaching herself to Xelloss' waist. This was so much better than thinking about that fat ugly Zelas! (^0^)
"What the ---" the trickster priest was cut off when he realised who was hanging on to his waist. "Kai…..Kai-ouu sama?!"
"Xelly-poo visit Dolphin! Dolphin happy happy!" (^0^)
As much as Xelloss wanted to go "Noooooooooooo" with a matching expression to go with it, his rational side reminded him: NEVER piss off a Dark Lord. That incident with Gaav was rather painful in itself. Not to mention that it was an INSANE Dark Lord he was dealing with at the present. He shuddered. It was probably suicidal to offend Deep Sea Dolphin.
"Good afternoon Kai-ouu sama!" He forced on his best genki-expression. (n.n) Maybe he could run off while she wasn't looking…
The insane Dark Lord squealed with delight. Her Xelly-poo looked so kawaii!!!! Wait…did she say "her" Xelly-poo? She sniffed a little. Nope, Xelly-poo belonged to that mean ugly Zelas who probably never even let him go on a vacation! That was so unfair! (.) Just look at that pained expression on Xelly's face - that meanie Zelas must have been treating him very badly! Probably didn't even feed him and locked him in a big big scary dungeon! Yup, that must be it! That's why Xelly-poo was here - he was running away from that ugly meanie! Dolphin pondered for a while. But if that was the case…..if that was the case….
Then Xelly-poo could play with Dolphin! And live happily ever after forever and ever and ever and ever! "Oooohh…Dolphin bad," she tittered quietly to herself, "Dolphin very bad…hee hee hee."
Xelloss backed away in uncertainty. Not that he could back away very far, considering he was on a rock in the middle of the ocean. He didn't know what was going on in Dolphin's warped mind, and he certainly wasn't going to wait around to find out. It was most likely another one of her I've-lost-my-marbles ideas to make him spend "quality" time with her. He felt a cold shiver down his spine as he recalled the time she had forced him to…..wait, he wasn't supposed to talk about that. There was only one way out of this situation. "Well, I guess it's time for me to phase out and go on with my business! Ju-ouu sama has sent me on an important secret mission!" he announced brightly, prying the Dark Lord's arms off his waist.
But after successfully doing so, Dolphin turned into a 2 foot-tall chibi and glomped him neck. "Xelly with Dolphin stay…no mission!"
"Xelly go mission--" Gah! He was starting to speak like Dolphin! He shook his head. Dolphin-speak was definitely contagious, though he might as well speak in a way that Dolphin could understand or he'd spend the whole day trying to get understood.
"Mission what kind? Tell Dolphin."
The priest-general wagged his finger. "Sore wa himistu desu!" He just loved that catch-phrase. It made him feel so mysterious and sexy - and gals loved that, right? (n.n)
"Why secret?"
"Secret mission!"
"Do what?" (o_O)
"Work." he replied curtly to his own horror before he could stop himself. Dolphin squealed with delight. She was finally getting somewhere! And she was determined to find out. Everyone told her their stuff after a while. Anyway, it wasn't nice to keep secrets from your friends, and Dolphin was a friend! (^-^)
"What kind?" she pressed on, snuggling against Xelloss' hair. Purple hair was nice! It reminded her of big round grapes during the summer time….
"Secret stuff!"
"Awww…what secret stuff?"
"Very secret stuff!"
"What very secret stuff?"
"Really very very secrety stuff!" (n.n)
"What really very very secrety stuff?" This game was fun! Maybe this would go on for eternity….which was for…. how long? Dolphin wasn't sure, but she knew it was for a long long time, and she had all the time in the world, which was okie-dokie with her! (O_o)
Xelloss twitched. How long did she want to do this?! He sighed, exasperated as the chibi Dark Lord gazed at him expectantly with large shiny blue eyes.
"Xelly play with Dolphin?" she tilted her head slightly, looking extremely lovable and cute. The priest-general stared at her, wondering at her impossibly high-level of cuteness that was practically oozing out of her. Ick. (O.O)
He decided to remain silent. Yes, that's what he'd do. Just remain silent, and maybe she'd leave him alone.
Maybe. Please?
------------------------------------
In the sea of chaos sat a woman who shone golden.
From time to time she would huff and sigh, tapping her foot impatiently, drumming her fingers on the stone hand rest of her throne.
One might have expected being the Lord of Nightmares would be an interesting and exciting job at the very least. But noooooo….all these few billion years, the most exciting thing had been to enter Lina's body and kill Phibby in the most horrible way possible. After all, the stress had to go somewhere, right?
There was just no other polite way to put it – L-sama was damn bored.
That's it! she thought, I'm going to go out and do something fun!
And so a plan was formulated inside her mind.
