Chapter 9

Lina found her self lying on the ground in the middle of the streets of Seylune, when she got up she noticed that the entire city is on fire, every where and every place there are fire destroying the city.

Lina is horrified with the alarming vision "Wha…….wha……..what's going on? Who destroyed Seylune?"

"Olá boneca!( Hi baby!)" said an unknown voice behind her who spoken in Portuguese language. His entire body is enclosed with flames.

Lina frozen up, she knows that voice, it is him, the same bandit who almost killed Gourry.

She turns around and her fear was confirmed. "It can't be……I killed you!"

"Oh Yeah!" the bandit jump to the air to grab her.

"NO!" cried Lina as she got up, and found herself still in her room.

"Lina? What is wrong?" asked a very worry Gourry. By the way Lina screamed he thought that some enemy was about to attack them.

Lina looked at her husband with a smile "Don't worry Gourry, it was all a bad dream, that is all."

Gourry sighed in relief "Don't scare me like that Lina."

But Lina didn't pay attention to him; she wondered why she had that nightmare with the same bandit that gave her such a bad time, could this be some warning? But that is impossible, she Dragon Slaved that guy, it is impossible for him to be breathing. Lina then shake her head "Oh come on this dream was just a coincidence, why the heck bother with such things." Lina thought to herself. But then she noticed something. "Hey Gourry, where is Maia?"

"The kid said that he was going to meet with Sylvia and Val, and he took some rope with him. I don't know why they got up so early, it's 5 in the morning."

Lina giggled, she knows what those kids are up to "Never mind them Gourry, and lets go back to bed" she purred in this last one.

------

Maia ran to Sylva's room, it is where they have agreed to meet, chuckling when he thought about the prank he's going pull, once he got there he saw that Val and Sylvia were already waiting for him. "Hi guys, sorry I'm late! I got the ropes!"

"I got the bag of flour!" said Val who is carrying a big bag of flour.

"The red paints are near the pool!" said Sylvia.

"Let's go then!" said Val and every one ran to the pool. Wait a minute! Did they have pools back then?

9:45

Zelgadiss walked to the dinning room, and once he got there he saw his Friends Sylphiel, Lina and Gourry eating breakfast, and of course Lina and Gourry are in a food war.

Zel looked around and notice that Amelia is not around, she is understandably avoiding him. Zel sighed, he dosen't know what to do with Amelia.

"Hey Zelgadiss, you have your tea here!" said Sylphie pointing to Zel's tea.

"Thanks Syl." Zel sits on the table and starts to drink his tea, in his usual Zelgadis like type of person.

"Hey Zel, ready for the big day tomorrow?" asked Lina.

"What big day?"

"The Festival is tomorrow! There are going to be a lot of games, parties, and the most important……FOOD!"

Gourry drooled when he heard that word. "Food……"

"I'm not going." Zel said, very simply.

"What!?!?!?" Lina and Sylphiel were taken aback by this sudden news, except for Gourry who's still thinking of food. "WHY NOT"

"You people know very well that I don't like be around so many people, so I won't be going."

"But Zel……"

"It is final, Lina!" Zel continues to drink his tea ignoring his friends.

"Damn." Lina turned around, she must think of a way to make Zelgadiss go to the festival or else the plan will not work.

"HELP!" cried Maia, Sylvia and Val for help "Help Uncle Xellos!!!!" "Help us!!!!!" "In the Swimming pool!!!!" "Uncle Xellos!"

Zel almost dropped his tea, the children are calling for help, especially his daughter. "What? The kids are in trouble?"

"No they are not Zel." Gourry assured.

"What? Gourry aren't you listening the kids are calling for help!" Zel was surprised to see that Gourry's so calm even by the fact that his son is in trouble.

"No they are not Zel, it is all just a prank." Assured Lina.

"A Prank?"

"Yes a prank to poor old Xellos." Giggled Sylphiel, remembering all the times the kids do their pranks to Xellos.

"To Xellos?"

"Yes, when ever the kids get together they do the most incredible pranks on him, and you don't believe how funny they are," laughed Lina. "last year, they made managed to trick him to make a chicken imitation in front of them and only wearing a underwear that had a drawing of a little bear, but Xellos didn't know that there were other people watching. Can you imagine how he must have felt?"

Every body laughed, even Zelgadiss who is picturing the entire scene. "But, will Xellos get fooled by this prank? He knows that the kids always trick him, so he knows that this is a prank."

Lina smirked. "True, but he also knows that if anything happens to Val, Filia will kick him out of the house!"

"I see," Zel continues to drink his tea until he heard Sylvia again.

"Help Uncle Xellos!! I can't swim!!!!"

Zel dropped his tea "Oh No!" And he runs as fast as he can to the Swimming poor area to save his daughter.

"Wait Zel it's just a Prank!!!!" called Lina but Zel ignored her

-------

"I'm hearing some one running" Maia confirmed. "It must be Uncle Xellos."

"Ok, every body hide" ordered Val, very excitedly.

The three kids hided behind a chair, waiting for Xellos to show up. But for their surprise it isn't Xellos who just entered, it is Zelgadiss.

"I'M COMMING SYLVIA!!!" Zel rushed to the swimming pool and jumped to save his daughter.

"No wait Rocky!!!" warned Sylvia as she got out of her hiding place. But it's too late.

SPLASH

The swimming pull is full of red paint instead of water.

"What's he doing!?!?!?!" complained little Val.

"He ruined a good prank." complained Maia.

"Hey! Leave him alone you two!" said Sylvia protecting the man that she doesn't know that it is her father.

Zel slowly comes out of the pool, he's all wet, wet in red paint. Then he turns and glared at the three children. This frightened them a little.

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING!?!?"

"Well………" stared Val "It was all to fool Uncle Xellos, that's all………"

Maia nodded "Yeah, you're the one who ruin the entire plan."

"Yup, you are all red, you must be mad!" taunted Val. This made Maia and Val laugh at Zelgadiss.

But Zel didn't pay importance to them, he just looks back at Sylvia with a irritated face. "AND YOU, YOUNG LADY!!! What's the big idea of panicking every body like that!?!? Do you know how worry I was!?!?"

Sylvia felt a little bad about this; she didn't know that their little prank would cause so much trouble. "I……I'm sorry Rocky."

Zel didn't meant to shout at Sylvia but the thought of losing his daughter terrified him. So Zel taped Sylvia on the head gently "Just don't do that again. Ok kid?" and of course Sylvia's head gets wet with the red paint that is all over Zel's body. And Sylvia smiled at him.

"What happened?" Xellos finally appeared. "Damn Zel, you are all red, you must be really angry."

Zel grabbed him by the collar "And YOU!!!!! Don't put me in pranks that are supposed to be for you!"

"What? Hey WAIT!!" Zel throws Xellos to the pool full of red paint.

"What did I do?" asked Xellos when he surface. "I really hate these people."

Zel was about to leave by the same entrance he came in.

"Wait Rocky!!! Don't go there……" Sylvia tried to warn Zel but it is too late. Zel tripped on some rope……

PACH

……and falls on the ground……

"Ops, the rope….." said Maia.

PUFT.

……and now a bag of flour falls right on Zel's head.

"And the bag of flour……." Said Val.

Zel sighed heavily. There are just times when a person should not get out of bed.

------

Lina and Gourry walked down the hall of the Seilune palace.

Lina sighed "That moron doesn't want to go to the festival. He really is a suborn guy"

"So what do we do Lina?" asked Gourry. "If Zel doesn't show up on the festival the plan will be unsuccessful."

"I could force him to come but I know that he will just insist on not going, I could fireball his butt to go but I know I might risk destroying the city. I'm running out of ideas here Gourry, do YOU have any ideas for a change?"

"Well, I don't know. Maybe Sylvia could ask Zel to come." Gourry joked.

Lina stopped "Gourry……that is a great idea!"

Gourry blinked "It is?"

"Yes it is, it is perfect. Wow Gourry, you sure are starting to get smart ever since we got married."

Gourry smiled proudly of himself. "Of course. My Mother didn't raise no fool!"

Lina sweat dropped.
