Tower of Bable

It was around eight am when the chaos began, when Lina came down for breakfast.
Lina sat down and addressed her friends. "Good morning, everyone! Madam, I want the breakfast special, please."
Gourry, Zel and Amelia gave Lina a weird look.
"What are you saying, Lina?" Zelgadis asked.
Amelia looked over to Zelgadis, confused by what he said. "Mr. Zeldagis, why are you speaking a different language?"
"All I know is that my script says I need to say 'juicy cherries' a lot." Gourry added.
Lina scratched the back of her head. "What's your problem, guys? I mean, didn't we already make a movie like this where we couldn't understand each other?"
"Can I get some juicy cherries with my pancakes?" Gourry asked the very confused waitress.
Zelgadis buried his face in his hand. "Why do weird things always happen to me when I'm around these people?"
"Mr. Zelgadis." Amelia tried to calm him down. "Please don't be upset. I'm sure this event will pass."
Lina rubbed her temples. "This doesn't help us one bit. What could have caused us to each speak a different language?"
Gourry looked over to Lina. "Hey Lina, I wonder, maybe we're speaking a different language because of those." Gourry was cut off.
"I see you are infected with the curse as well."
Everyone looked up to see Xelloss and did a double take. "Xelloss?"
"Yes! Glad you remember me." He smiled cheerfully.
Zelgadis pointed his finger accusingly at Xelloss. "I bet you're behind this plot."
"Umm," Xelloss tilted his head. "I have no idea what you're saying."
Zelgadis started to yell. "Hey! Answer me already!"
Since Xelloss couldn't understand Zelgadis, Xelloss ignored him. "Does anyone speak my language?"
"What are you saying, Mr. Xelloss?" Amelia asked.
Lina sat back in her chair. "This is pointless. None of us understand each other."
"Ah!" Gourry chimed. "There are some juicy cherries over there!"
Lina hit Gourry's head. "I said I don't understand you! Or you. Or you. Or you."
Amelia looked down. "Ms. Lina, why must you be so angry?"
Zelgadis kept his eyes on Xelloss. "I know it's you, Xelloss. You just came here to taunt us I'm sure."
Xelloss held up his hands. "Zelgadis, I do not speak your language."
Gourry looked around. "Does anyone know when we'll get more juicy cherries?"
"Gourry, shut up!" Lina barked at him.
Xelloss giggled. "Why are you so mad, Lina? Isn't this great, you can talk bad about your friends and they will never know what you're saying? Here's an example. Zelgadis."
Zelgadis stood up. "You better not be talking about me."
Gourry waved his hand. "Really, guys, if we could just get some juicy cherries, it will all be fine."
He was struck down by Lina. "I told you to shut up."
Amelia pointed at Lina. "Ms. Lina, stop being so mean to Mr. Gourry. He's only trying to talk to us."
"I don't understand any of you!" Lina yelled.
"Stop being angry, Ms. Lina!" Amelia yelled back.
"Xelloss, I know you're behind this." Zelgadis yelled at Xelloss.
"I said I do not speak your language."
"Juicy cherries! Juicy cherries!" Gourry repeated again and again.
The argument continued for another minute before the chef came by their table. "Excuse me."
The gang turned their head towards the chef. He was speaking a language they all understood. "I'm sorry about this.but it appears some magically juicy cherries got into the food last night. It makes you speak a different language. The only way to cure yourself is to continue to eat juicy cherries until you start to speak a language you understand." He held out a bowl of juicy cherries.
Gourry gave a cheer of triumph. "I told you it was the juicy cherries that did this! But did you listen? No."
Lina looked over to him. "I still don't understand a word you're saying."
Xelloss winked. "Before we cure ourselves, I've been instructed I have to say: It is a secret."
So the group all ate juicy cherries until they started speaking a language they all understood.
The End.
