I am... Amelia?

Chapter One: Dreadful Realization

Disclaimer: I own no Slayers characters. Please don't steal myself or my siblings. Thanks a lot!

This story is based on a reincarnation thingie at the end of one of my friends fanfics. I'm warping it out. ^_^; I don't believe in reincarnation, but it makes for a funny fanfic!

Please don't flame me. I may have become Amelia, but that DOESN'T mean that I'll be nice to her.

And that's it! Enjoy the story!

***********************************************************************

It was New Years Eve, and I had been sent to town with my older sister, Lynn, to buy some munchies. Our parents had decided to go out somewhere for New Year's Eve, which would leave myself and my three siblings at home, alone. They had given us some money so we could go to town and rent some movies, as well as buy munchies. They hadn't given us enough money for it to be worth driving to the nearest Blockbuster to rent anime, so we decided just to buy munchies and watch some of the anime from our collections at home. More specifically, we had decided we would watch Slayers NEXT, as it is the best of the Slayers series. As we drove to town, I voiced my one and only complaint about NEXT.

"I can't stand the way Amelia is throwing herself as Zel in NEXT." Although I was not the one driving, I was watching the road carefully.

"He deserves someone better." My sister, Lynn (who was the one driving) agreed.

"Like me?" I asked hopefully. My entire family and most of my friends knew that I simply adored the blue-skinned chimera known as Zelgadiss Graywords.

"Exactly." She agreed. Although she was a big Zel fan herself, Lynn had chosen Valgarv as her bishounen from Slayers. You see, I had won possession of Zel in a game of Paper, Scissors, Rock. That was our common way of deciding anything, even the decision to watch the anime we had at home, rather than driving clear to Ontario to go to Blockbuster. We parked the car in the crowded parking lot and climbed out of the car.

"Arafel, don't forget to lock your door." Lynn reminded me as I slammed the car door.

"Oh. I knew that." I smiled as I opened the door again, locked it and slammed it. We walked in to the grocery store called Logans, unaware that we were being watched.

We walked through the rows of food, selecting our favorite kind of munchies. We even bought some pop to go with it.

"We're going to feel so sick in the morning." I commented, adding a bag of potato chips to our cart.

"Deal with it." Lynn commented with a smile. After we were done shopping, we headed home. I felt just a little bit uneasy about something, but I could not put my finger on it. When we got home, we carried the food in, and our parents headed out to wherever they were going. Martin, my younger brother came running out of my dad's desk room.

"What did you get?" He asked, bouncing up and down. A moment later, Katherine came running out too.

"Did you get candy?" She asked, also bouncing up and down.

"No, we didn't. We got too much junk food to buy individual candies." I explained practically.

"Junk food! Yay!" They clapped their hands.

It was about midnight when we all went to bed. Rather, it was about midnight when they went to bed. I went in to my room, though choosing not to go to bed. My room's a very nice place: I have my desk and bookshelf in there, and I can stay up as late as I want in there. Tonight, I chose to stay up a little bit later to draw a picture that had appeared in my mind what I had been watching Slayers. I titled it "Sasurai Revisited" That in itself was strange, as I almost never title my artwork. As I put the finished piece of artwork away in the folder I had designated for fanart, I talked to myself. "Zel... My sweetie... I'll share you with anyone I have to... Except Amelia." I picked up the plushie of Zel that I keep on my desk and hugged it. I kissed it squarely on the forehead, then set it back down.

"Good night." I smiled, went to bed.

When I woke up the next morning, my feet felt very, very heavy. I wondered for a moment if my cat had gained weight, but I could tell it wasn't her that was weighing my blankets down. I could hear her purring like a psychopath, as she tends to do when she is hyper. I heard her licking something, and finally decided to see what it was.

"Smokey! What are you doing?!" I cried in a blurry voice, sitting up. There, sitting on the end of my bed was Zelgadiss. Smokey was licking his face. She meowed a greeting to me, and went back to rubbing herself against Zelgadiss.

"Zel... Ga... Diss..." I said very slowly. He looked at me tenderly, reaching a stony hand to brush my face.

"I'm glad you're finally here." He said softly.

His words made my brain feel like someone had shaken it upside down.

"Huh?" I asked blankly.

"I knew you would be reincarnated someday." He paused. "I wanted to apologize. Please, forgive me for what happened."

"Huh?" I asked again, wondering why this dream was being so weird. "Look pal, even if you are my favorite bishounen in the whole world, you're acting weird. Cut it out."

He looked surprised at me. Then, as though figuring it out, he sighed.

"You haven't begun to remember yet." He took his hand from my face and rubbed his forehead. "But I have to make it up to you."

"Make what up to me?" I asked suspiciously. "Why?"

"Your death." He answered. I was about to scream when I heard Lynn's heavy footsteps on the floor.

"Arafel, what are you doing in there? The TV isn't on, so where's Zel's voice coming from?" She asked, walking in to my doorway. Her eyes widened. "ZEL!" She squeaked.

He looked horrified at her. "Nahga!"

My sleepy brain was beginning to put things together. "You said... Reincarnation... Zel, right? And..." I paused for breath. "If she's Nahga... Doesn't that make me..." I paused again. "Amelia?"

Zel looked relieved. "You are remembering!"

"I'm... Amelia?" I blinked. "I'm Amelia?! NOOOOOOOO!"
