AUTHOR'S NOTE: I remember of period of my writing career when I asked myself, "What else can I have the Slayers gang do?" This story is one of the many results. ^_^ Also, I have nothing against Honey Dew, even though Dunkin' rules! ^_^ I wrote this story for a friend of mine who worked at Honey Dew & hated it. ^_^ I do not own Slayers.
The Slayers Go For Coffee
By Kelly M. Maraglia
It was a normal Friday afternoon when a burst of blinding white light appeared in the sky. As the ball of light swirled, it spit out 6 creatures. They all fell to the ground.
The first to fall was a flame-haired, short-tempered sorceress named Lina Inverse.
The next to fall fell right on top of Lina. This would be the tall, muscular, blond, dumb-as-a-doornail swordsman Gourry Gabriev.
The third fell right next to Lina and Gourry, not on top of them. This relieved them greatly because it would have hurt them the most. Zelgadiss Graywords was the third one to fall. He was a chimera of human, golem, and demon. He was also a powerful sorcerer and adept swordsman.
The fourth person fell right on top of Zelgadiss. She whined about how it hurt to fall on his rock-like body. Zelgadiss grumbled. Amelia Wil Tesla Saillune was known for her whiny voice and her total lack of common sense.
The fifth person didn't fall. He floated nicely to the ground. The Mazoku Trickster Priest, Xelloss Metallium, smiled at the others who were glaring at him from their place on the ground.
Then the last person fell and knocked Xelloss to the ground. That would be Filia, a Golden Dragon.
At seeing Xelloss' face covered with mud, the other four laughed. He just gave them an evil smile.
"Gourry, get off me!" Lina screamed and began beating Gourry.
"Would you kindly get off me Amelia?" Zelgadiss asked, irritated and surly.
"Oops! Sorry about that!" Amelia said and quickly got off him.
"Oh Filia-san, I knew you liked me but not this much!" Xelloss exclaimed and hugged Filia close to him.
"Ah! Namagomi!!!! Get your filthy Mazoku hands off me!! You're dirtying me!!!" Filia shrieked and began to pummel Xelloss with her mace.
Suddenly, Zelgadiss smelled something delicious. It was...it was...COFFEE!!!!! Zelgadiss raced toward the smell while everyone else fought to keep up.
When they reached the shop called Dew Honey Donuts shop, they realized they had foreign currency in their pockets. Well, it was foreign to them but not to the people at the coffee shop.
They were about to order when the manager asked them to leave.
"We don't serve freaks like you!" He said rudely and returned to the backroom. Lina walked outside and the others followed her.
"Miss Lina! That was unjust! Aren't you going to do anything?!" Amelia whined.
Lina began chanting the Dragon Slave, her infamous spell of destruction. Zelgadiss turned and saw a Dunkin' Donuts in the distance. He could smell coffee again. As Lina cast the Dragon Slave, the others shielded the Dunkin' Donuts from harm. Afterwards, the manager was so grateful that he granted them free coffee whenever they liked.
Hence the Slayers went for coffee...at Dunkin' Donuts. ^_^
THE END ^_^
