Chapter 22
THE SLAYERS
Wednesday after school, the Amelia van picked up the band, stopped at the
practice room to load all the instruments, and delivered the payload to the
'recording studio' at the Mayor's residence. Sylphiel and Filia collected the
band 'costumes' to the changing area to iron out the wrinkles and fix any
unintentional rips.
"I can't believe Lina's going to wear a dress…and one quite
so…showy," Sylphiel remarked hanging up the red Chinese dress to admire.
"I'm just glad she has the spunk to wear it in front of an audience,"
added Filia.
Sylphiel was more worried about what Gourry would think, and that it might get
him thinking too much!
Meanwhile the technical wizards, Val (surprisingly) and Zel, attacked the sound
equipment, Kiki checked out the lighting with Amelia. Lina and Gourry were
supervising. Xelloss tried to put his drum set back together.
CRASH! BANG! CRISH, CRASH!
"G….D…F…it all…&^#$&#%# !!!" yelled
Xelloss.
"Val? Give him a hand with that drum set before he does permanent
damage!" Lina shouted over the noise.
"You're worried about the drums or Xelloss?" Zel smirked.
"Damned idiot," muttered Val, dropping his screwdriver and loping
over to the glittering purple drums. "Now don't cry. Val's on the way to make it all better. Hey…! that could've
put out my eye!"
"If I'd meant it to, it would have," Xelloss said defensively, as he
twirled another drumstick between his fingers. "This won't stay up…and this...is
stuck…and I can't even find the hardware for the cymbals!" he was starting
to sound whiny.
"In my pocket. I took it off and put it there for
safekeepin'. You need to get a small zip-pered bag for stuff.
Ready? Now, ya hold this piece while I tighten
this up…there… Now, see if those are okay before …too high? Well, if ya just grew a little more…okay, I'll loosen the nut while
you push...that's enough," said Val as he patiently helped Xelloss.
With Val gone, Zelgadiss made quick work of attaching the room's audio mixing
board up to their instrument cables and microphones. Kiki was flicking light
switches on and off to learn how to adjust the lighting. Dark.
Light. Strobe. Dark. Light. Light.
Light. It all made for a chaotic afternoon.
"Can we run through the first two songs one more time before
recording?" Lina asked again.
Kiki gave a thumbs up from the control room. Zelgadiss
had set up the mixer for all the instruments but his, and now he was showing
her how to adjust the settings for adding in his guitar.
"Ah, yes…very simple, I understand now. You are good at explaining things
and very calm. I can understand why Amelia likes you so much. She always says
that you are very smart and kind, and…let me see…yes your eyes are a blue I've
never seen before either!"
Zel turned away, hiding his blush and muttering, "I'll be getting back to
the band."
"But so shy..." Kiki finished.
After the sound system was up and tested, Kiki needed to run some trials for
the video recording and lighting. While she did this, Val rolled out the newly
painted bass drum head for everyone to see. It was so cool, they all froze
their activities to stop and admire the workmanship.
Xelloss conceded. He flicked up the pins and removed the plain drum head, then
allowed Val to attach the new skin with the band's logo proudly emblazoned
across the front.
Kiki recorded the event. Xelloss flew into an insane drum solo. What a ham!
Gourry picked up his bass and added a rhythm. Zel and Val fell in with a wild
version of Satisfaction, while Lina
jumped in and belted out the lyrics for all she was worth.
"Very good, you guys!" Kiki smiled. "I want to review how this
looks now. Would you like me to play back the audio recording for you to hear?
Of course! I'll be right back. Zelgadiss
taught me all about it!"
As the recording flicked on, Filia and Sylphiel entered, already dressed.
"Time to play dress up, everyone!" Filia laughed.
"But Lina and Xelloss don't have any band outfits, do they?" asked
Gourry, concernedly.
"Not to worry, I took care of the big geek and Amelia said Lina took care
of her own dress," Val smiled meaningfully.
"What's this?" Xelloss asked as Amelia handed him a hanger covered
with black plastic.
"Well, he (indicating Val) told me to tell you…that's a secret! Just go in
and try it on, the pants are exactly like the ones your wearing for the play,
so don't look so worried, Mr. Xelloss!" Amelia smiled.
"What make you think the pants have me worried the most?" Xelloss disappeared anyway.
Val chuckled as he passed them, grabbing his hanger on the way. Zelgadiss
couldn't wait to touch his leather jacket. He had thought about it throughout
the day. He climbed into the black jeans and creamy poet's shirt, and then slid
his arms into those of the jacket. He sighed and smiled, "Life is
wonderful."
"Gaaahhhh!" croaked Xelloss from somewhere
nearby. "I look like some flippin'..."
"Oooo…rock star! Nice shirt!" Lina purred
in her best imitation of an idolizing fan.
Val had silk screened the band's logo onto a black T-shirt with long mesh
sleeves, similar to his own but his was all mesh.
"I want one too!" Lina screamed.
"You can have this one…" Xelloss began.
"Oh my, that looks sooo good on you, tres bien, monsiour!" smiled Kiki.
Okay… if she liked it, he'd keep it.
"Later...maybe…it's too large for you anyway." He finished with a smile Lina's way, who,
greedy and self-defeated, stalked off to a dressing room to change. That would
show them.
Gourry loped out of the dressing room, his shock of blond bangs hiding the look
of shock on his face. Lina stood in the center of the room showing off her
dress. It was form-fitting, brilliant red with a pair of golden dragons, one on
each side, writhing up the sides. It was very short, sleeveless with a high
mandarin collar. For the finishing touch, she was wearing knee high,
high-heeled, shiny, black boots.
Val stood on one side of Gourry, Xelloss the other. Zel popped out of the
dressing room. "What's everyone
staring at? Oh..."
"So...you think it's okay? I mean, my sister
bought it for me awhile ago and I never thought I'd have a reason to wear
it." Lina smiled.
Filia slapped Val on the back. "Stop drooling! Gourry, are you all right? Zel? It's Lina, remember her? Gods, Lina, even Xelloss is suffering from trauma.
Good thing you don't wear a dress more often!" she said laughing.
"What do you mean…even
me…" Xelloss started to object.
Lina was pleased. She liked attention and showing off for her friends was fun.
"Well then…let's get started...time's awastin' !"
She hammered Xelloss on the shoulder and he shut up. The boys snapped out of their temporary brain
failure and found that they could still locate their instruments. When Kiki
gave the cue, Lina started a count down for GET ALONG.
Next they rolled on to Val's FAIR WIND, then Zel's WE ARE. The last song of the
day was EXIT RUNNING.
"Wow! That was great guys!" Lina shouted proudly. "What do you
think Kiki? Will that do or will we need to do something over?"
"Oh, Lina, I don't know. There is so much for me to go over. I think it's
all I can do with for now, okay? I'll take this to school and Xelloss can show
me that new computer software, no? It's getting late now, I should be getting
home."
"Yeah, we all should split," Val grumbled. "What? You don't
think I got stuff to do?"
"That history test tomorrow…it's botherin' me,
too," Gourry said softly.
"Yeah, but I gotta pass it. Now that I'm plannin' ta
graduate and all. I can't seem to
get those names and dates straight. It's
the worst… History..."
"…Sucks!" both Gourry and Val said in unison.
"But," Gourry continued. "Zel does tutoring on Tuesdays, mostly
History, and it's the only thing getting me by.
Hey! Zel? You busy tonight? We gotta test
tomorrow and can use some review kinda stuff..."
"Sure, I have time. If you come
now, dinner's included. No Lina, just Val and Gourry. You have your
own work to do, like…getting out of that dress."
"I can help with that zipper!" Val offered.
Lina's 'if looks could kill' gaze glued him in place. "Amelia, I could use
some help in the dressing room."
"Uhhh, guys? Are we just going to leave our
stuff here tonight? Ah…Amelia? Can I leave my kit setup here? I mean, is it
safe?" Xelloss asked following the two girls to the dressing room.
"Xelloss! Leave your crap here and get the hell outta this room!" Lina screamed.
"That's a good idea!" he said scramming.
"Good try," Zel snickered.
"But I wasn't trying anything! I just wanted to know…say, are you leaving
your Fender?" Xelloss asked.
Zelgadiss never had left it at his place before.
"Yeah, if we need to do more recording it'll all be ready for Friday.
Right, Kiki?" Zel asked for reassurance.
"Oh, I almost forgot! Everyone while we're all still in the van."
Amelia cried out for attention. "I got a call from a friend at my old
middle school. It seems that the de-jay they had lined
up for their winter dance can't work the last hour or so…It's ours if we want
the job!"
"When is it?" Lina asked. "And how much does it pay?"
"Well...that's the catch. It's this
Friday night and the pay is only $100," she answered softly. "I know
that there's the fencing tournament, but the dance doesn't need us until the
last hour 9:00. They'll let us set up
equipment earlier, you and Mr. Gourry don't need to be there for that,"
she added wistfully to Zel.
"It's your call, Zel," said Lina. "It's a lot to ask after
fencing."
"Well, if we take the van to Amelia's after school and
pack up… then go to the middle school and set up...Gourry and I could
take off from there…damn... Where's the fencing match? Can the van take us
over, Amelia?" Zel asked.
She melted. "Of course!
Anyone who's not needed to help set up can go with you.
I'll stay and guard the clothes and equipment."
"Nah, I'll volunteer to stay and guard. I'm more frightening," Val leered.
"Besides, I'm sure I'll still be setting up the drums hours later. Hey!
That was a joke."
"Then…Gourry? Zel? Is it
a plan? Hey, that's great then…this Friday after school, we take the bus back
to Amelia's, pack up, roll over to the Middle school, set up, van it to
fencing, pick up food RIGHT??? All except Val and Xelloss probably...we'll get
food for you guys too, all right? That should bring us to 8:00 to eat check stuff and rest until 9:00. It's a gig guys!" Lina laughed.
"I have a suggestion as to what we should do with the money," Xelloss
began.
"Yeah, we should start paying you and Amelia back for the clothes,"
Zel finished.
"Nooooo, I was thinking about that song Lina's
written for me. It needs a
synthesizer. Val? How much for a
moderately good used one…and…do you think you could figure out how to do chimes
and…" Xelloss smiled.
"Come take a look tomorrow. I'm workin' and the Dojo's pretty close, right?" Val asked grinning.
"Do we need a vote or somethin'?"
"Hey, it's up to Xelloss and Amelia far as I'm concerned. You agree Lina?" asked Zel.
"Yeah, guess we'll have to come up with some financial
agreement…formal-like so that there's no hard feelings
in the future. Okay if I let you handle
that one, Amelia?" Lina asked.
"I know just who can do that…that wonderful lawyer friend of daddy's. I'll ask tonight. Mr. Gourry? Miss Filia? Miss Sylphiel? Are
you guys okay with all this too?" Amelia passed the ball.
Yes-es all around.
"Val is getting a new toy. Now if he would only pass history. Well, if Zel's help doesn't do it…I may have
to help…" thought Xelloss, smiling demonically.
"Here's my stop! Thank you, Amelia, for the ride. Let me know when the
next band practice will be, okay? Oh, and Xelloss? Can you show me that
computer before school tomorrow?" asked Kiki.
"Of course. No trouble. I'll stop by your bakery
around 7:00?" He smiled nicely. No demonic thoughts now.
"Oh, so early!
But I guess it has to be. Is the school
open at that time?"
"We can get in," he promised.
~*~
With the big Thanksgiving holiday out of the way and only a few weeks to cram
every necessary bit of work in before the two week winter break, all the
teachers were mad about assigning team projects. Even in science.
"...And the class will be building an enlarged animal cell. You will be assigned a team. Each team will be assigned a cell part,
compute it's scaled up size, create the object, and bring it in along with a
two page written report…which must include the following pieces of
information. First…" the teacher
droned on and on…
"I'll do the report," Lina volunteered.
"Oh joy!" Zel sank into doom.
The teacher passed by and handed Zel a paper.
"The endoplasmic reticulum."
"The what? What does that
look like?" Lina blurted out.
Some idiot shouted, "Your sister!"
Zel clamped down on her shoulder to keep her from bounding up and punching out
the big mouth. "Just ignore it. Remember you are above it all. Oh hello, Xelloss, looking for a project team?"
"Maaaaay-be…" he grinned. "Oh, teacher? Will they need to build ribosomes, too? Really? Yes, you do Lina! Oh, and
teacher…where is this room-sized cell going to go?"
"That is a project in itself…" the teacher moaned.
"I'll take care of that!" Xelloss beamed. Then to Zel he added,
giggling, "Guess I won't be joining you after all, but thanks for
asking!"
Zel shook his head. "Nutcase. How's he going to find a room large enough?
He's digging his own grave."
Lina gave Zel a sidelong glance. "Oh, he'll get a room. He's able to make
them materialize out of thin air."
So, at lunch Zel was in a mood. Lina and Filia were missing from the lunch
table when he plunked down in a seat. He was careful to place both Amelia and
Kiki between himself and Xelloss, so that he wouldn't be tempted to strangle
him or something. Gourry and Val were across from him, looking like they'd
eaten the same foul hamburger.
Sylphiel sat beside Gourry. After a few minutes of silence she asked,
"Gourry dear? What's the matter? Was the history test that bad?"
"Huh? Oh, ahhh…It wasn't bad at all, thanks to
Zel. But when I turned it in…the teacher
handed me this…" He offered Zel the
assignment sheet like it was a alien lying dead in his
hand.
"Time line.
Greece…Rome…not
bad, in fact, kinda fun," said
Zel poisonously. "My project reeks."
He explained the size of his problem. "I haven't calculated it yet, but
I'll need some long ribbony crap maybe twenty feet long and three feet wide and a few hundred
jellybean shaped pieces of crap and
paint and who knows how many other crappy
pieces of crap more I'll need to
finish the..."
Amelia gazed at him stricken by his tone and language. "Mr.
Zelgadiss! It is lunch time."
"Hey, Zel? I've got lots of stuff like that at my
dad's work," Gourry said.
"Yeah, all kinds of crap for building crappy buildings," continued
Val, getting into the mood.
"Yeah, so maybe we can help you get stuff…just let me know the
size..." Gourry offered.
"Wait a second here! You've got a project you don't wanna do and so do we.
Gourry's got the materials and I've got the art skills that you need, and you're real good at that
precision lines-and-numbers shit we've gotta do. Why don't we make a
deal?" suggested Val.
"I do your time-line and you do my model?"
"Well, not the whole thing, but some of it, anyway.
How's it sound?"
"I think I need Lina here to write up a contract," Zel joked, but he
was willing. "Sure, why not?"
They began to formulate plans, discussing when to get together and what
materials to use. They were interrupted by a storm of jangling chains and
thunderous heavy boots.
"Hey Val? You hangin'
with the geeks, creeps, and choir girls now?" one of his old punk friends
sneered.
"Who's the geek…or creep? I don't see any." Xelloss began to get
defensive.
"And fags too? Val…how low can you go? Ha, ha, ha..." laughed
another.
"Back off...these dudes and chicks are…with the band. Leave'm
be," Val growled.
Zel, already moody, didn't want to play their game. He sighed and shook his
head.
"Hey...this one's a freak…shit, du-ude, what
happened to yer face?" sneery
kid#1 poked at Zelgadiss.
Amelia started to say something, but Zel shook his head, moving the bangs away
from the left side of his face and exposing his most alarmingly damaged eye.
Then he said to the punk, "If it bothers you so much, go somewhere
else."
The kid turned a bit green. Val was standing now, fists turning white. "Come on Turth,
find somethin' else to do."
In the meantime, happy-punk#2 was bugging Xelloss. "So, I don't know your
name, queer-boy." he grabbed a lock of purple hair and twirled it around
his finger. "You wanna hair cut? I gotta blade that'll…ooof!"
Xelloss rammed an elbow into happy-punk#2's stomach, which resulted in getting
his hair released. He looked up, inches from the punk's face. His purple eyes
open and his face grinning evilly. "If you're looking for a boyfriend, better go talk up your other
punk friends and get the hell out of my
face."
Two other bigger but mute punks moved in on Val just as Filia and Lina walked
up. "So Big, Bad, Ugly, and Turth, get your sorry
asses outta my way," Lina yelled. "This is
my table, my friends, and my lunch. What? Need a reason ta
just disappear?"
Turth was furthest away from Lina and closest to
Filia. Now, Filia was a tall girl, easily 5'8'' with a fantastic figure, long,
blonde hair, and a face that melted hearts everywhere. In short, she was every
guy's dream come true and standing eye-to -eye with Turth,
looking him over.
Turth was thinking of a line better than the one that
spilled out, "Who are you?"
"Val? Who are these disgusting people with you?" she snipped.
Lina answered, "Just a bunch of punk creeps. You know guys…Our band's got gigs…the only thing your band ever got, Ugly, was thrown out!"
Val chuckled. He'd forgotten that. Lina remembered everything about all these
guys. She'd gone to school with them since kindergarten and knew all kinds of
secrets they'd die to have known at large.
"Va-al?" Filia
demanded his attention. "Have you decided to stay…with me…during the
holidays? It'll be soooo much more fun if you're there."
This was news to everyone but Val. He had been invited to join the Cephied clan
at the settlement for the Solstice Holiday. This was a prelude to a future
formal introduction and inclusion into the clan. Actually, he had already
accepted, but told only Filia the news. He was fully appreciative of her
methods here. He was the instant envy of all his punk ex-friends, to name just
a few.
"Well…if you insist...I guess I can find the time...I am a busy guy,"
Val smirked.
Lina sort of ruined the impression by laughing uproariously.
If Filia hadn't convinced the punks that this was not a good time to bug Val,
Lina did. As stated before, Lina'd known them all
forever, and that didn't happen without them knowing her (there was nothing
subtle about Lina). Anyone who knew Lina knew to stay out of her way, and these
guys, who'd hung with her during her wild Nahga days, knew that lesson
especially well. If Lina didn't kill you, her big sister would.
The four punks backed off muttering inaudible inanities, Val frowning at them
until they were lost in the crowd.
"That's better. I wanted to sit and finish my dessert before the
bell," sighed Lina, brushing off the seat Val had
vacated.
Gourry looked up and smiled, "Good timing, Lina!"
"Who me? Of course! I'm the best, you know!" she smiled back.
Minutes later, the bell rang and lunch time was over.
Xelloss brought headphones and Kiki's tape from the morning to the computer
lab. He and Zel sat in the back with the 'video computer'.
"I showed Kiki how to merge what was on her recording with what we already
had this morning. Voila' ! Where there were two now
there is one. Shall we see what this baby can do?" Xelloss smiled.
"So…how did it go at the doctor's the other day…you all clear?" Zel
asked while scanning through the first few minutes.
"Okay…he said I need glasses. So I got them checked and…what I really
wanted were those cool cat-eye contacts, but…they're nearly $400.
Out of the current budget for me. So I'm
picking up glasses today on my way to the Dojo."
"Glasses? That will be a new look for you. Oh, and don't forget Val's
instrument."
"Ah, right...well… the karate will have to wait, I guess."
"I'll see Val after school for project stuff. I could go to the store with
him and check out the kinds there. Maybe
limit it down to a couple. What kind of sounds are you thinking of?" Zel
asked, scrolling past more video images.
"Chimes and something oldies style...slide guitar."
"Hey, I'm a guitar player. If you want slide, I'll do it. I'll pick up
what I need."
"Really? Great! Just have them hold with my
name. I'll stop by late then and have
Val show me what he likes and charge them both. That would work. Thanks for saving me the time. Actually, I need to put in some hours to pay for
all this," Xelloss mused. I could see the gears set in motion. He was up
to something.
"Then again, maybe you can skip Val tonight and squeeze him in some
other…What?" Zel stopped.
"I'll skip acting today and get a head start. That'll give me time to
dress for the Dojo, work out, get the glasses, go back to work only…then
there's time to stop and see what you guys have picked out at the music
store.."
"Xelloss..."
"Here's an office 'get out of jail free' card. See? All signed and
official," Xelloss smiled wickedly.
Zel looked darkly at his friend. This was
another side of him he didn't like so well, and Filia was right about one
thing, Xelloss was deceptive and hardly thought about the consequences of his
actions, to himself anyway. Out loud he
said, "I think it's a mistake, but do what you want. I will go to the
music store with Val, however, I want no part of your deceit."
"Fair enough. Don't worry. Everything's going to be all right!" he
said glibly. "Hey you're getting to my crow parts now...don't delete!
They'll fit right in to Val's song, you know...la, la, ta, da, da, with your tiny, shiny, wings…see that one flying? Perfecto Mundo!"
"What a goofball, you are, Xelloss!"
Much later that evening, Val had chosen his musical 'toy' and
was lugging it to Sano's in a
vinyl case. Xelloss had on his new glasses and was dressed in his Ghi from karate practice. Zel had his 'slide' toy for his
guitar and agreed to stop at Xelloss' to try it out that evening. Xelloss and
Zel and Val stood waiting for a bus home, chatting away about life. Val's bus
arrived first and whisked him into the night.
Xelloss laughed out loud. "Ha…I was thinking about what Val said, how he
learned about where babies come from, from a wild cat he once had. My first stepfather
tried to talk to me, but I kept laughing and acting silly…so he just gave up.
Zelas bought me a book and told me to read it. But with you! It's just that I
can't imagine Rezo sitting you down and chatting about the birds and the bees."
Xelloss grinned.
"Yeah? Funny…You don't want to hear my real
story. I see, of course you do. Oh, all right…I'll tell you then. It was in 5th grade, before…my… accident.
Lina and I were walking home together like always. She had been crabby all day.
I nearly left her at school and walked alone! She caught up to me and said she
needed to stop at the Jiffy-Mart. I wanted a soda so I followed. She ran around
and found a bag and made her purchase. I watched her rip the bag open, take
something small out and then she jammed the bag into the grocery sack and
dumped it all with me.
'Be right back!' she said and
disappeared into the girl's bathroom.
"While she was gone, I took a look at the bag. Inside were pads...for her...ahh…period, but I didn't have a clue. I stood there holding
one looking stupidly at it. Then she appeared out of nowhere. She was so mad!
She grabbed my wrist, after ripping the offensive pad out of my fist, and
blasted us out of that store. She ran all the way home, red as a beet. I was
baffled. I swear I felt like Gourry must most of the time around her!
"I followed her into her kitchen and sat at the table. She slammed down
two glasses of milk and sliced two huge slabs of pie from the restaurant for
us.
"You have a good memory for details!" Xelloss grinned.
"So what's the big deal?" I said somewhat loftily to cover up for my
total ignorance.
'It's that time of the month…for me…do you know what that means?'
"I shook my head in a perfect Gourry imitation. She sighed and sat down to
eat. She looked at me then proceeded to tell me in very gory detail about the
female side of reproduction. Right down to 'and then the guy…' I was
pretty much in a state of shock by this time. She had been doing a good job up
until that point, but she was on rocky ground from now on.
'You've notice some changes in your...body too?'
"No." I hadn't noticed a thing.
"I think she called me an idiot or something like that. I could tell she
was embarrassed, which made me more so. She triggered my thought processes by
asking if anything ever came out 'down there'…unexpectedly. That
made me think again and go red to the extreme. So with that success
under her belt, she proceeded to explain that it was the guys job to provide
the other half of the needed material for making the baby and that was in that stuff.
"When she explained how that worked, I nearly passed out. REALLY! It's true! No kidding! Poor LINA? Poor me! I couldn't imagine EVER doing that
to or with anyone EVER. And that was FINAL. Lina agreed wholeheartedly. I asked
her who told her all that crap. She said her sister, and then she left and
returned with a book. She told me to 'read it to believe it', but that she
wanted it back.
"So I finished my pie, and left with the book. I read the whole thing,
twice at least…stayed up to midnight!
Then, I snuck out of the house, ran to Lina's, banged on her window, and woke
her up. Boy was she ever mad! But she opened up and I climbed in. I gave her
the book and then forgot what to say.
'Well? You came all the way over for some reason?'
"Ahhh, I promise you I'll never do that with
anybody. All those fluids and mess for what? A screaming
baby? Gaah! Why do you think grown-ups want to
go through all that for one of those?" I moaned.
'Well my sister says…its nice when it's the right
person and the right time…it's a grown-up thing, I guess.'
"I GUESS! Well, promise me that you'll wait a long time? I mean I can wait
forever, I'll tell you!" I said seriously.
'Forever sounds about right to me!'
"Good. Then… you can keep your book. I won't be needing
it any more," I assured her with a confident smile, I'm sure.
"And that was it?" Xelloss asked.
"Nearly. I climbed out the window and then she
did a very strange thing...she leaned over and kissed me. Really
quick. I believe she muttered something to effect of 'not so great' and
slammed the window shut. And we never spoke on the subject again."
"Wow…"
"Wow, what?"
"Wow, what a great friend Lina has been to you."
"The best." I couldn't have agreed more.
