Chapter Five!

Popstar mayhem

A/N: I just realized that at the beginning of my last chapter I put 'chapter five' when in reality it was only chapter four, so I'm going to try and fix that later! Another thing! I meant to put Jaréd instead of Jared, so I'll fix that too!

Lina growled. What a GREAT start to a GREAT day. She had to go to some STUPID party, she had to spend time with some of the most annoying people she had ever met or ever WOULD meet, and that wasn't the worst part!

She had to go to the same party as HIM! Zelgadis Graywords! Nothing could be worse! Ok, so quite a few things popped into her head but she quickly destroyed them. Nothing could be worse, she told herself again. He's egotistical, full of himself-

(Myth: we've heard this before, Lina...

Lina: I don't care! He is!

Zel: you know you don't really mind it th-

Lina: shut up!)

Anyway, she had to go to the same party as him. And his little brother would probably be there too. And Xellos...this was going to be one looooonnnnggg night...

Lina waved a taxi down and hopped in handing him directions. He gave her a weird look.

"What is a little thing like you doing at a party like this? Don't you realize this is just for important people?"

"Buzz off. I don't have a choice." The taxi driver, decidedly disgruntled, did just that. They arrived, she handed him some money, and he left her, staring at the large building in front of her.

It wasn't a gigantic building, and it wasn't particularly scary. It was just the concept of the thing. 'stupid people...stupid Luna...stupid Zelgadis...'

She stepped through the doors, and the party, just starting turned to look at her.

"Miss Lina!!!!" Lina grimaced and turned towards three shrieking lady's. 'And here I was hoping that becoming important figures in the country would calm them down and make them act more like adults...' (Who's talking?)

"Hello, Miss Amelia, Miss Sylphiel, Miss Filia. How are you today?" 'grrrrr, Luna you are going to get it someday...'

Taken aback by the formalities they had never heard Lina use, the three stopped immediately, peering at her as if she was an imposter. 'Ahh, heck with it, if they didn't change, then Luna can't mind too much my being whatever the word is...improper.' It was much easier to stand up to her sister when Luna wasn't there. The young girl grinned at them, and the three relaxed. She must have just been possessed by something for a second.

Lina peered around nervously, and gave a big sigh of relief. Zelgadis wasn't there.

"Miss Lina? How come you never come visit us anymore? We all live in one big mansion, so it would be easier to some see us as a group..." Amelia cocked her head to the side.

'Why don't I come visit any of you? WHY? It's BECAUSE you all live in the humongous mansion that I don't visit you! Zel lives there! And like H I'm gonna willingly visit HIM!' she shouted in her mind, but kept a calm composure. Somehow.

"I simply haven't had the time to visit with you grand celebrities." She teased, and they grinned.

"You could be one too if you wanted Miss Lina!" Filia proclaimed.

"Oh, quit with the 'Miss' thing! I can't stand that!" Lina grumbled, and the three smiled. They hugged and sat at a small table, catching up on old times.

"Guess what we have planned for tonight!" Amelia squealed. Immediately on guard, Lina looked at her warily. This couldn't be good...

"Duet singing!" Sylphiel and Filia giggled like mad.

Lina groaned. "Can I sing with Sylphiel?" Sylphiel was generally pretty easy to sing with...

"The pairings are picked from a box. It's totally by chance!" Filia smiled secretively.

"So what are you going to do if it ends up being you and Xellos?" Lina started to giggle a bit.

Filia's face darkened. "I'll wring his little neck!" Lina and Amelia stared at her and began to laugh. Soon Filia joined in.

"What's so funny, ladies?" an amused tenor came from right behind Lina. Lina knew, of course, exactly who it was.

"Your face." Lina shot back at the smiling young man. Zelgadis didn't falter a bit and sat down right beside her. Too close, for Lina's taste. So Lina scooted over, only to find that he was even closer than before. "What the-" she looked down. His right hand was firmly wrapped around the armrest of her chair, and it wasn't going to budge. Lina sighed, as long as he didn't touch her...

"What was so funny, Sylphiel?" Zelgadis asked again, circumventing another retort from Lina. Thought maybe he could do it again, just to get her riled up.

"There's a duet singing later tonight," She said, and glanced at him as his eyes lit up. "It's chosen by drawing. One box will hold the females names, and the other will have the men's names." Zelgadis looked smug, and Lina was positive that he was going to try something.

"Do I have to sing, Sylphiel?" Lina asked, almost desperately it seemed.

"WE already put your name in the box." She replied. Lina's face was crestfallen.

"That's what's so funny?" Zelgadis decided to put the attention back on himself. He still hadn't let go of Lina's chair.

"No, we were teasing Miss Filia about what might happen if she got stuck with Xellos."

"I don't think that's going to be a problem..." Zelgadis trailed off. His arm inched Lina's chair a little closer to himself. Lucky for him, she didn't notice as her attention was elsewhere.

"X-Xellos?!" Lina goggled. "Why am I not surprised...yet surprised?!"

TBC

Myth: ok...I know I said that I would say what he was wearing in this chapter, but...It was already quite long, so, I just stopped it there.

Lina: Myyyytttthhhh...

Myth: what?

Lina: Get him away from me!!!!!!

Zel: ::latches onto her arm.::

Lina:...

Myth: Sigh, do the dis. For me Zel?

Zel: Why me?! Why not make Xellos do it?

Myth: Because he's still getting ready.

Zel: ...Joy...Mysticalflame, a.k.a., Myth, doesn't own a thing. She didn't even own that apple she just ate, it was her sister's and she's really going to get it when she comes home.

Joycrux: didn't you know I specialize in cruel and unusual punishment? Blame it on my teachers! :P Mwaahahahahaaa!I'm on your Author Alert list? ::does a demented little dance:: Ooh yeah! They like me! They really like me! Lololol jk. Anyway, good ending for 'Broken Wings'! I liked it! Um...yeah! So...I'm glad that you liked it! I'm really proud of this story. It's fun to write and easy to do, usually. Sometimes it's really hard to do something funny. Last chapter was a bit of a struggle. I've been working on this one for a while. How's you like it? did you like the ending? heheh! So what other stories are out there that I don't know about? :D see ya later!

Ilikesaddleshoes: NO DISTRACTIONS!!!! ME WANT CHOCOLATE BUNNY!!!! lol. Zoot suit...I love saying that! Heheh...hey I did too review 'Newbie' !!!! I just didn't sign in! cuz I'm laaaaazzzyyy! Hehehehe Well, I went and looked at the suits and they are pretty funny! I've done that too! Where you don't know your own penname? Heh, I sat there and looked at it thinking, that looks familiar, and then it hits you and you msack yourself on the forehead saying 'idiot' yeah, then half the time I think 'I don't remember reviewing this story...' 's really sad... :D well, here's another chapter! How'd you like it? bai bai!

Arain Rowan: ain't that the truth! It's really a lot more fun to write him this way! But it's SO much harder! Sometime I have to write a couple of paragraphs, erase it, and write it again till it looks right. Or sounds right, same thing...sort of...argggh! someone shut me up! I've been talking all day like some maniac and half the things don't make sense! Like, 'Tweed chocolate cream get now!' I actually SAID that earlier! I meant to say 'we need chocolate ice cream, I'm going to go get it!' or something along those lines, but WHAT do I say? ::rolls eyes:: maybe I should go to bed and not get up till day after tomorrow. Yeah, that sounds good! . bai bai!

Myth: Whoa! I gotta cut down on the length of the Review responses. They're too long, and someone might complain and get my account deleted. That happened to one of my friends. I'll still do them, but they'll be much shorter. If you wanna talk, e-mail me or MSN me. I don't have Yahoo or AOL, or stuff like that. oh...GOMEN NE MINNA-SAN!!!!!!! The computer I usually use won't connect to the internet right so I'm having major trouble with posting stuff there. So I saved it on a floppy disk and took it to a different computer. Shikashi, even now we're still having trouble with power outs from hurricane Ivan ( connecting and re-connecting stuff. ::sigh::) and there was about 6 brownouts in a row. somehow, don't ask i was trying to do something to save my story and it probably would have been better if I'd just LEFT IT ALONE, but I took the stupid Floppy out and...MY STORY WAS DELETED!!!! ::waaaaaaahhhhh:: So here it is, new and improved, HAH!, and I'm gonna go take a nap... see ya! (that was really long! gomen!)
