Hay! As I've promised, despite the fact that I'm at grandma's, I have no computer (not counting this superb-hyper-SLOW laptop...) and actually I'm on vacations/holidays, I'm writing this chapter. To your horror, tee hee...

Nevermind.

Oh please excuse me, the mere mortal, for forgetting... heh heh.

So, after this very inspiring beginning... nah. Read.


"WHERE THE HELL ARE MY CLOTHES!"

"Oh my..." sighed Haii

Filia immediately looked at the certain fruitcake with an accusing look in her eyes, but he just smiled sheepishly and shrugged.

Dragoness rolled her eyes, but said nothing.

"You can't find you clothes?" yelled one random girl from the audience "I'm comin' to help you, Zelly-poo!" she stood up and with an incredibly happy look on her face run backstage.

Then, there could be heard sounds of someone trying to open the door and another one trying to keep them shut.

"Help me! Perverted fangirl!" yelled Zelgadis, while girl pleaded „Oh come on... Zelly, I know that you're shy, oooh... please, let me in and I'll..."

Everyone sweatdropped and Haiiro was just about to call for security, when...

„Leave him alone you injustice hentai fangirl!" yelled Amelia making a pose and with the speed of light she also run backstage.

Group sweatdrop.

„What are you doing here, justice freak?"

"Why you... and who do YOU think you are?"

„That's not your business! And by the way, you're fat!"

„FAT! I'm not fat! And you are FLAT!"

„Oh yeah!"

„Yeah!"

„whayyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaa!"

And as everyone could conclude from sounds, girls had just jumped to each other's throats.

"Keep away from him!"

:crush:

"And you, keep your dirty hands away from my dress!"

:sound of clothes being torn:

"How do you like that?"

"Why you!"

:thump:another sound of clothes being torn:

"AAAAAAAh!"

Girls rolled on the scene, breaking a various chair that stood in their way and making the curtain fall down.

"You're not worth him!" yelled the fangirl pushing Amelia to the ground.

In that moment princess gripped handful of girl's long, brown hair and pulled it. Fangirl screamed and in return grabbed Ame's hair.

Then, from the megaphone came music:

Wanna get rowdy!
Wanna get a lil' more moody

Haii sweatdropped "I knew that this DJ is a mistake... Aguilera's 'Dirrrty'... oh my...'

Get all fired up in a hurry
Wanna get dirrty

Amelia pulled harder her opponents' hair and somehow managed to stand up. Girl rose on her knees and sent her a dirty look, just when princess was about to kick her in face.

It's about time that ya came to start the party

With one quick move she dodged and gripped Amelia's other leg knocking her down.

"Go Amelia, GO!" yelled Lina

Sweat drippin' over my body
Dance and gettin' drizzled and a lil' naughty

"Ha! You see, gravity isn't the best friend of FAT!" laughed the fangirl.

Amelia smirked. "Oh, so she's the best friend of people flat like you?" and she kicked her in ankle. Girl fell down gripping her leg in pain, and Amelia, taking advantage of her state jumped on her with nails.

Wanna get dirrty
It's about time for my arrival...

"You'd better watch out, I have a fresh manicure!" laughed princess.

Her opponent just smirked. "Oh yeah? And I have unbreakable MaxFactor three layers nail polish! In a fashionable dark blue colour..."

Looking at the scene, all guys started to daydream about Amelia and her opponent, in smaller and tighter costumes, fighting in the middle of a puddle of a mud...

... no comments about men and their fantasies...

(No offence : )

"Amelia! Amelia!" chanted audience and security.

Wanna get rowdy!
Wanna get a lil' more moody

Haiiro cleared her throat, gaining attention from her security officers. "Aren't you supposed to do something with this?"

"Nope." And they continued to yell

Get all fired up in a hurry
Wanna get dirrty

Brown-haired fangirl rose up wanting to end this battle, when suddenly the main door burst open and a muscled and tanned man entered the room.

Music died in the distance...

"Julia! Where is my lunch?" he looked around "And what are you doing in here?"

Fangirl squeaked "Oh, Joshua! You're thinking only 'bout yourself! I'm here to meet me true love!"

"True or not, I'm hungry and you are my wife. We're going home!"

And with these words he grabbed crazy girl's arm and dragged her outside.

Haiiro took a handkerchief and wiped sweat from her forehead.

'Saved by a despotic husband' she thought

Amelia stood up and stuck out her tongue at exiting pair. Then, she lost balance and fell back on the floor.

"Amelia!" yelled Lina and she run to the princess, quickly followed by Gourry and Filia. "Are you okay?" she asked holding her arm

"Yeah... I'm just a bit bruised, that's all..."

"We'll heal you, don't move" said Lina and she started preparing a healing spell with Filia.

"Can I help you somehow?"

Lina tensed and slowly turned back. Gourry, who was crouching close behind sorceress's back, blinked in confuse.

Close.

Way too close.

"Iiiiiiieeeeee! Hentai! Back off!" and so Gourry was thrown to the wall with a fireball.

"Heyy... what did I do?" he thought for a while "This time?"

Haii looked at her watch and gasped. 'This show is moving wayyy too slow!' she thought

"Okay, Filia, you're on stage already, so you can choose a song as well!" Haiiro ignored Filia's weak protests and handled her a card with song's lyrics, as security was clearing the stage.

Lina was sat next to Gourry, so she cringed in her armchair as far away from swordsman as it was possible.

Dragoness looked at the piece of paper she had.

"Oh my... and what am I supposed to choose..." she rose her head in wonder...

... Just to see Xellos, seating comfortably in his armchair and giving autographs to his fans. Of rather FANGIRLS.

She twitched and came back to choosing the song.

Then, to her ears came mazoku's laugh and girl's voice: "Oh Xel, now I know why you're called 'trickster'..."

Filia twitched again, trying NOT to look in certain fruitcake's direction and mumbled "I. Don't. Want. To. Know..."

"So that's your choice! You can go and change!"

"Wha?" dragoness blinked. "No, not again..."

"Too late" Haiiro 'pat-patted' her friendly and pushed backstage. "Okay, so now... I... will... wait, I have a strange feeling that I forgot 'bout something..."

"IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGH!"

"Oh yeah, Zel."

Filia run back breathing heavily, red like a tomato. "That... that... that was so b..." and she fainted.

More from a habit, Xellos quickly teleported to catch her, and then he walked back to his seat. With Filia in his arms, but it begun to be normal to others.

"So what are we going to do with Zel?" asked Amelia

"That's easy. Give him some clothes until we find the thief." Said Lina to Haii

"Yeah, but that's not that easy... You see, I rent these clothes and... well, they appear in the closet when you choose the song and disappear when you take them off after the song. I can't give him clothes like that" she shrugged with sheepish smile on her face.

"Oh. And you're sure you don't have anything?"

"I don't think so... maybe" an evil smirk came on her face "... sorry, I have somethin'..." she run backstage and after a while there could be heard her voice

"Zel, I'm going to throw you a piece of clothing you can use through that small window over the door! Catch!"

"Oh, thanks! I thought that you forgo... ARE YOU KIDDING!"

"wear this or come here naked."

Haiiro came back on the stage, and moments later Zel came back too.

"wooohooooo!" yelled the audience and immediately there could be heard sounds of cameras and photo's being taken

And Zelgadis just stood where he stood with a resignation in his eyes and a Tarzan-like panther loincloth on his hips.

"Oh my, Zel! You look... ummm... maybe you should sit down..." said Ame hiding camera behind her back.

"Yeah..." mumbled Zel and sat on his armchair.

"Okay, so now, when changing room is free, Xellos, could you bring that blonde in your arms to the reality?"

"Aawww, do I have to?" mocked Xel, but in that moment dragoness moved and slowly opened her eyes.

Filia blinked but violet thing before her eyes was still there. She blinked again – nothing.

"Not again..." she moaned "...but I learned something, so I'm not going to jump into your arms... I'm in them by the way, and yell that you're my hero and how wonderful you are. I'm just going to stand up and go and change and pretend that nothing's happened." And so she did.

Xellos blinked in confuse.

"Hey, Xel, is it just me, or has your relationship with Filia... changed?"

mocked Lina

Mazoku just smirked. "And is it just me, or has your distance from your favourite swordsman dramatically increased?"

Lina 'hmpfed' and turned away.

"Guys, please..." said Amelia, visibly fighting an urge to stare at certain person on her right.

In the meantime Haiiro finished changing the lyrics, so she hid her almighty pen, stood up and yelled:

"Okay, so, ladies and monsters! I'd like to present you Filia Ul Copt as Mario Winans in a song 'I don't wanna know'!"

Dragoness entered the scene. She was dressed in a big, white T-shirt, loose jeans and had one gold chain on her neck.

"who'd you like to dedicate this song to?" asked Haii innocently

Filia sighed "To who I should? Xellos." And before any malicious comment came she stated to sing:

Somebody said they saw you
The person you were kissing wasn't me

"wooo, Xel... not nice..." mocked Zangulus leaning over his armchair.

And I would never ask you
I just kept it to myself
I don't want to know
If you're playin' me
Keep it on the low

"And who he's not playing?" asked Gourry

Zel turned his head to him "You know, that's a very smart question..."

"Oh. Sorry."

Cuz my heart can't take it anymore
And if you're creepin'
Please don't let it show
Oooh baby, I don't want to know
I think about it when I hold you

"Hey,who's holding whom usually?" asked Xellos, but it could be seen that he's not as cheerful as usual. 'what? Can't a guy enjoy...Oh my, what am I thinking about?" he thought

And lookin' in your eyes I can't believe
I don't need to know the truth
Baby, keep it to yourself

"You don't have to ask him for that..." mumbled Zelgadis.

I don't want to know
If you're playin' me
Keep it on the low
Cuz my heart can't take it anymore
Yeah...
And if you're creepin'
Please don't let it show
Oooh baby, I don't want to know

Did she touch you better than me

"wohooo, Filia!" yelled Lina

Did she watch you fall asleep
Say you walk away
Don't talk to me...yeah, I can dream...
Ooh don't tell me
If you're better off that way
All that I can say
Stay away from me

"That sound like old Filia" commented Gourry

"what do you mean old?" asked Lina

"well... she's old, isn't she?"

:sweatdrop:

Even though I know your
Whereabouts n'
how you movin
I know when you in the house
When you cruisin'
It's been provin'
My love you abusin'
I cant understand how a girl
Got you choosin... who's suicidal like that...
Undecided
I came and provided

'woooohoooooooo! Go, Filia, Go!" yelled audience

Haiiro shook her head 'Oh my, it's the first time when they actually know what's going on!' she thought

My undivided
You came and denied it
Don't even try it
I know when you lyin'

"That's not difficult to know. All the time" commented Zel "And by the way... ummm... Amelia" he looked worryingly at the princess, who stared at her with stars in her eyes "you have spittle on your chin."

Don't even do that
I know why you cryin'

"Him? Crying?"

Im not applyin' no pressure
Just want to let you know
That I don't wan to let you go
And I don't want to let you leave...alone...
Cant say I didn't let you breath
Gave you extra cheese
Put you in the SUV
You wanted ice
So I made you freeze
Made you hot
Like the West Indies

"wooo... Filia!" yelled Lina

Last time you invest in me
Cuz if not then its best you leave
holla

I don't want to know
If you're playin' me
Keep it on the low
Cuz my heart can't take it anymore
And if you're creepin'
Please don't let it show
Oooh baby, I don't want to know...

"Yaaaaaaaaaay:applouse:"

Haiiro pushed one button on her dictaphone and everything quietened.

"Ah, there's nothing better than a tape with recorded applause when your audience is too stupid to understand any joke about blondes... Thank you, Filia, you can go and change. Xellos, you're next!"

With his immortal smile, mazoku stood up and approached to Haiiro.

"Here're your songs." She smiled and handled him piece of paper.

Xel looked at it and rose his eyebrow.

"wow, two songs. And what should I choose..."

Meanwhile dragoness came back and took her seat, observing with interest Amelia's attempts not to look at Zel.

She couldn't also not notice, that Zelgadis, although visibly annoyed because of attention he gained in his new outfit, he didn't mind princess's attention at all...

"I choose the second one" decided Xel giving Haii back the 'list' "Mainly because of the fact, that the first one is 'Oops, I did it again...'"

Girl sweatdropped "heh, heh, not that I'm forcing you to sing this song... Hey, that's a good idea... nevermind. Now go!"

When Xellos dissapeard, Haii yelled "Okay, time for another interview! Let's say that I'll choose..." she flew to one table "Can you tell me what's your name?"

"Of course. I'm Mister Elephant."

Haiiro sweatdropped. Indeed, she was talking with the big, grey elephant.

"Okaaay, and what can you tell me about yourself, Mr. ... Elephant?"

"well, I come from Ghana, a country in Africa. Did you watch that Disney's movie 'The Lion King'?"

Haii jumped "YES! That's one of my favourite movies!"

Elephant cleared his throat. "Well, I took a part in that film... And it was actually my idea about that whole 'Hakuna Matata' thing. You must know, that it doesn't mean 'No worries', but in my language it's something like 'world peace, we have to leave together' and I..."

"Oh, thank you, Mr Elephant, but I think that Xellos is ready by now, so... BYE!" and quickly she flew back on the scene. 'Okay, keep calm, I was just talking with am elephant. Nothing special. Elephant...oh my God..."

"So, ladies and animal... um, I mean... nevermind. I'd like to present you Xellos Metallium as Madonna in a song 'Forbidden Love'!"

:silence:

Haiiro grumbled and then, Xel entered the scene,

"YAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY! WOHOOOOOO!"

Mazoku wore a white, knees long dress, brown tights and simple grey high-heel shoes. His hair was wavy and he had a light make-up.

Make-up?

"That girl in the closet said that only real men aren't afraid of having make-up!" announced Xellos proudly.

"Okay, so your dedication?"

"I'd like to dedicate this song to Filia! Listen to it carefully..." he winked to her.

Half of audience fainted.

Then music started and he started to sing...or rather talk:

Love without guilt love without doubt
Love without guilt love without doubt
Love without guilt love without doubt
Rejection, love without doubt

"Hmmm... I wonder what he's going to sing about... and why he dedicated this song to Filia..." mocked redhead

Filia rolled her eyes.

Don't go near the fire don't go in the dark
Don't give in to your desire 'cause I'm gonna break your heart

"Oh... that's not quite inviting..." said Amelia

Let go let go
:singed:
I don't don't care if it's not right
To have your arms around me
I want to feel what it's like
Take all of you inside of me

Filia blushed furiously and mouthdropped.

"Men..." commented Lina looking at swordsman

In your eyes in your eyes forbidden love
In your smile in your smile forbidden love
In your kiss in your kiss forbidden love

"I understand eyes and smile, but kiss? Do you want to tell us something?" Lina turned to dragoness

"Yes. Shut up."

If I had one wish love would feel like this
love would feel like this

"Aaaaaawwwww... how romantic..." sighed Amelia

Filia just glared at her.

I know that you're no good for me...yeah...you make me sick...oops, wrong song...
That's why I feel I must confess
What's wrong is why it feels so right
I want to feel your sweet caress
In your eyes in your eyes forbidden love
In your smile in your smile forbidden love
In your kiss in your kiss forbidden love

Filia looked at mazoku. She knew that it's just a song, but... he looked so... nice singing these words.

Not counting the dress and make-up of course.

If I had one wish love would feel like this
love would feel like this
If I only had one wish
Love would always feel like this
Wishin' on the stars above
Forbidden love

"That's about him and Filia!" suddenly yelled Gourry

"Bravo, ten points for your observation" said Lina rolling her eyes.

"Thanks, I'm trying" he replied giving her his trademark cute smile.

Lina twitched but...'Damn, how can I be angry at him...' she thought

If I only had one dream
This would be more than it seems
Forbidden love forbidden love
Love without guilt love without doubt
Love without guilt love without doubt
Rejection Love without doubt
Is the greatest aphrodisiac

Xellos looked at Filia and winked. She blushed and quickly turned away

Security officers 'wooooeed' and mazoku glared at them. They were immediately quiet.

In your eyes in your eyes forbidden love
In your smile in your smile forbidden love
In your kiss in your kiss forbidden love
If I had one wish love would feel like this
love would feel like this
Love without guilt love without doubt
Love should always feel like this
Heaven forgive me never forbid me...

"Yaaaaaaaaaaaay! Wohooooooo!" yelled the audience

"Thank you, Xel, it was great. Now..."

Lina instantly stood up "That's the end, is it?"

"Ummmm...no. Sorry. I've prepared more thing for you...ummmm" Haii sweatdropped seeing anger rise in Lina's eyes "heh heh... free drinks backstage!" she yelled and everyone quickly run there.

'Deja vu...' mumbled Haiiro looking at empty room. "So I have a while for myself!"

Backstage Lina and Gourry jumped at snacks, in harmony again, Xellos dissapeard again, Filia in wonder sipped a glass of champagne, and Amelia and Zelgadis sat together in the corner, him drinking his beloved coffee and her with hot chocolate.

Zel glanced at the princess and saw that she's not drinking, but staring in the dark liquid.

"Umm... everything okay?" he asked

"Yeah, just... Can you tell me..." Zelgadis rose his eyebrow

"... I... AM I REALLY FAT?"


So, that's it. Sorry for all the craziness, silliness etc. That's what happens when you're forced to spend more than half of your vacations/holidays with your (too much) caring grandma, grandpa that is sure that I'm a genius, I'm wonderful and caring, blah, blah, blah... and with my 6 yearsold sister, far away from my home, normal computer and for all that time the only person I met that was my age was my cousin! Oh my...

No, I'm NOT desperate...

I want someone to hug me...
