Disclaimer: I don't own Slayers or the Iron Maiden song "Wildest Dreams".
Seygram 13 Presents: Wildest Dreams, a songfic dedicated to the much underrated swordsman Gourry Gabriev.
"I'm gonna organise some changes in my life. I'm gonna exorcise the demons
of my past."
She had left him! And for Zelgadis nonetheless!
"I'm gonna take the car and hit the open road. I'm feeling ready to just
open up and go."
She had dismissed him like a servant and walked away with Zel, holding his hand, and smiling!
"And I just feel I can be anything. That I might ever wish to be"
Gourry felt betrayed and lonely.
"And fantasize just what I want to be. Make my wildest dreams come true"
He was on his own again.
"I'm on my way. Out on my own again."
"I'm on my way. Out on the road again."
He then remembered.
" When I remember back to how that things just used to be. And I was stuck
inside a shroud of misery."
All the abuse he suffered. Mentally and physically.
" I felt I disappeared so deep inside myself. I couldn't find a way to
break away the hell."
He was free! No more "Jellyfish Brain"or " Yoghurt for Brains" insults anymore. And most of all: NO MORE BASHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"When I'm feeling down and low. I vow I'll never be the same again."
He promised himself to *never* follow another psycho mage with violent tendencies and an overblown ego.
"I just remember what I am. And visualize just what I'm gonna be."
He was an adult, for Ceipheds sake! And a skilled mercenary as well.
"I'm on my way. Out on my own again."
"I'm on my way: I'm gonna breakaway."
He didn't need Lina or Zelgadis.
" I'm on my way. Out on my own again."
"I'm on my way."
He could manage on his own. Follow his own destiny.
"I'm gonna breakaway."
(Time to get some well-earned work,) Gourry thought, and went to the nearest mercenary guild.
Author's Notes: I wrote this fic because Gorry mostly receives an unfair treatment at the hands of some Slayers fans, who describe poor Gourry Gabriev as a total retard, and a moron without any intelligence. I admit that Gourry lacks social skills when it comes to interacting with the rest of the cast, but the same can be said about Ranma Saotome from Ranma 1/2. Both characters are experts in their own field, but lack the skills and experience to interact with the rest of society. Note that Gourry is also the gimmick in the series who makes Lina explain things so that the viewers learn something about the Slayers universe without much senseless, long and boring dialogues. Gourry Gabriev is a skilled warrior who knows how to survive in combat, pure and simple! Personally I'm surprised that Gourry doesn't suffer a mental breakdown through the series, when Lina constantly mocks his intelligence and beats him to a bloody pulp.
Where was Amelia in this fic? How should I know!?
P.S.: Please point out grammar and spelling errors, please?
