Tale 3
"No way!" Lina gasped sitting up in her bed "You mean after all that time you two spent together, he was STILL going to be a soilder?!"
"Yep" the little fairy named Amelia replied as she repositioned herself on the pillow "I couldn't believe it myself at first"
"God! What a stubbern guy!"
"Tell me about it!"
"Well what happened then?"
"Well you see--"
"Lina!!!! Dinner is ready!!!!" A voice called from down stairs.
"Oh man! It's my sister!!" Lina turn and looked at the clock "And it's dinner time too! I lost track of time!"
"What are you going to do?"
"Well I have to go down and eat dinner before my sis tries to cause me perment damage and I'll save some for you and bring it to you after wards, k?"
"Ok, bye!" Amelia waved as Lina blotted out of the room
But by the time Lina came back, the little BlueSky was fast asleep on the pillow, dreaming about a place she probably wouldn't see again for a long long time.
******
"Ok...." Lina sighed the next morning as she gathered her stuff for school "Got my homework, gym clothes, textbook and..."
She trailed off and looked at the pillow on her bed. Amelia was still sleeping, and Lina was debating on whether to wake her up or let the poor thing sleep.
"But I guess I gotta at least wake her up to tell her I'm leaving"
"But I am up" said Amelia as she rubbed her eyes " Do you always talk to yourself outloud??"
"Shut up"
"What?? I was just asking a questions"
"Well don't ask stupid questions!" and with that the bigger girl grabbed her bag and started to head for the door.
"Wait!!" Amelia said in alarm "Where are you going!?"
"To school"
"Can I come??"
"No"
"Why?"
"Listen! I may not have a sword like your boyfriend but I'm pretty sure there is a fly swatter under my bed somewhere so lay off, lay down, and leave me alone!"
"But I don't want to be alone!!"
"I don't care!"
"Please!!"
"No!!"
"PLEASE!!!"
"NO!!!"
***********
"Wow! So *this* is Highschool!" Amelia said in awe as she peaked her head out of Lina's bookbag.
"Oh just shut up and get down" Lina growled as she rubbed her temples
This was going to be a looooong day......
"But I can't see if I'm in the dark!"
"Tough cookies! I let you come, not sightsee!"
"Ah Man!"
"Hey Lina!" said a voice behind her
Lina looked behind her through the clusher of teens in the hallway and saw a tall blond boy running towards her.
"Hey Gourry" she responded with a small smile
"Where did you go yesterday?" he asked when he finally reached her. He bent over a bit to pause for breath, and pushed a piece of his unruly golden locks behind his ear.
"Wow..." Amelia breathed pushing her head back inside the bookbag "He looks just like a big Goldencrown. I wonder if his one of Lina's playmates...."
"What are you talking about...?" the said girl asked, turning away from him
He stratched his head in confusion "But Lina...you were supposed to meet me at your locker so you could tutor me after school"
"Yeah well....." Lina began almost half/growling
"Anyway, there was something I wanted to ask ya too.."
"And what could that be?"
"Well...I was wondering--"
"Hey little washboard!!" a mocking male voice chuckled
"Zangulas!" Lina growled, knowing the voice's keeper without even turning around "Why don't you just stick your head in a blender and do the world a favor??"
At the sound of the hostile voices, the little fairy opened her opening just enough to see....but not be seen. She saw a young man with raven hair standing between Lina(and herself) and the blond haired giant named Gourry. From the look on Gourry's face, he seemed anything but pleased at the sudden interuption and the one that caused it. And Lina...well, Amelia didn't even have to guess to tell what was on her mind!
"Come on Zang" the blond said in a strangely serious tone "This is a privite conversation"
For a second, the other teens looked at him in shock. It was obvious that his tone wasn't what they were used to coming from him.
"Gourry...?" Lina whispered in confusion
"If you have something to say to her" he continued " tell it to her later. But you don't have to be so mean to her about it"
"Who do you think *your* talking to, Gabrive?!" Zangulas snapped. He was over his shock and now anger had replaced it. "I know that you're not trying to stand up for a skinny little toothpick, are you"
"No I'm not" he said simply
Lina felt her stomache twist at the reply. And it didn't help that Zangulas was smirking at it either.
"That Jerk!!" Lina thought to herself in disgust "That stupid, stupid Je--"
"Cause she's not a toothpick"
Lina turned to face him so fast that she almost fell down. Did he just--??
"Listen up, Gabrive! You betta choose your girlfriends more wisely, it I were you!"
"Well, you're not me. And I'll choose who ever I want"
Did he just--??!
"Wow Lina!" Amelia whispered in the bigger girl's ear "He's sooo Brave! And he really must like you! He even called you his girlfriend!!"
"He did NOT!!" Lina snapped, catching the boys attention
"I...I..mean...uh...I gotta go, BYE!!"
Needless to say she hightailed it out of there!
"Lina!! You can stop running now!!! You're making me sick!!"
At the suddenly cry, Lina gradually slowed down and ducked into a near by bathroom.
"Ohh..." the fairy groaned, rubbing her head " I think I hit my head on your lunch.."
"Did he just....." Lina breathed once again, competely oblivous to her friend's injuries.
"Gosh Lina! Are *you* ok??" Amelia asked as she flew out her hiding place to take a better look at the girl "You're all pale and red at the same time!!!"
"I...I'm...fine..."
"But Lina..."
"Look!! There's nothing wrong with me!!"
"There IS something wrong with you if you're talking to yourself, Inverse!" a voice taunted from behind on the stalls. Amelia quickly floated behind a near by trash bin just in time before a tall, busty girl stepped out from the stall. She had greenish-blue hair and blue catlike eyes with a impish smile that just SPELLED trouble!!
"Why don't you just leave me alone Martina??"
"Oh I just wanted to make sure you were alright" Martina said with fake kindness in her voice "After all, rejection is terrible thing"
"Leave me alone"
"Oh! Still sore?? But you should have known that Zangulas would never go with anyone as ugly as *you* to the dance. Afterall...he has me"
"Like I care about him! If he wasn't going to go with me in the first place, he shouldn't asked me!!"
"But don't you see? He only did that to show how much of a LOSER you are. Only a LOSER would believe that a hamdsom cool guy like him, would ever want to be with a DOG like you"
"Shut up you little heifer!!" Lina screamed, ready to tear the girl's hair out.
"What did you call me, Fito?!?" Martina screeked as she raised her fist.
And Lina Inversewas ready!! If the brat wanted to make this conversation a cat fight, then BRING IT ON!!
But suddenly, just when Martina was about to swing......she feel to the ground!!!
"What the--!!" Lina gasped as she stared at her opponent laying unconscious on the bathroom floor. Yet her unspoken question was answered when she looked up. There floating above her was Amelia.....carrying a VERY large American History book.
"Man!!" she cried dropping the heavy book on the floor "Whoo that was heavy! But it worked!"
"A...Amelia...how...?!?"
"Well, I figured that if those big weapons thingies work on Willowisps, then they would on evil girls too!"
"Oh, Amelia..." Lina said sinking to the floor. She sat there for a few seconds with her head down and began to shake a little.
"Lina...?" the little fairy said softly and floated down to her friend. "Did she hurt you?"
"No....and I could have taken care of it myself. I'm used to fighting bullies"
There was a bit of contempt in her voice but Amelia ignored it and began to gently pat her on the head.
"I sure you could have......but your my friend.....and I wasn't going to let her even THINK about hurting you."
Lina raised her head a bit and stared at the little being in front of her. As she did, tears began to fall from her eyes.
"But...she already did"
"Oh Lina" Amelia cooed hugging as much of her human friend's head as she could.
"I'm I really that....ugly.." she asked more to herself that to her friend
"No you not!" Amelia said firmly "And you NOT a dog either! Afterall...." she added with a small giggle " you don't have a speck of fur on ya"
Lina chuckled a bit at the stupid joke and began the wipe the tears from her face.
"Lina, you are the most beautiful human I have ever met"
"Amelia.....I'm pratically the ONLY human you have ever met"
"That's not the point! You're gorgous Lina! Your hair remind me of a Red-Flare fairy, whos firey colored wings are only second to the GoldenCrowns themselves. If you were my size you would be a lovely looking fairy!"
"You...you really think I'm as pretty as a fairy?"
"Hey I am one! I should know!"
"Thanks Amelia"
And with that, Lina let out a heavy sigh and stood up. She glanced over at Martina and her own impish smile crossed her face.
"You have seen the way her eyes crossed when you hit her with that book"
Amelia giggled and smiled proudly.
"Whoo American History.." Lina whistled "I guess if you don't learn from it, it really DOES come back to get ya!"
She laughed a bit at her own joke and began to drag Martina's body into one the stalls.
"What are you doing??" her friend asked, confused
"Just finishing the job!" her called back from inside stall "He he he. Anybody order a Swishy??"
"Swishy????"
The sound of a toliet flushing....basicly answered her question.
