Little Bro: I claim this chapter as mine. Haha! Why you may ask? Beacause I practically wrote the whole thing! (with my sister's permission)
Disclaimer: I still don't own Slayers.
Alternate Endings:
#1) Surprise!
Thila said good-bye to Xellos and went into her house. Everything was just how she left it. This is where I belong, she thought.
Xellos phased into his house after saying good-bye to Thila. Filia stood in the living room, waiting for him. After a long pause, she said, "Xellos… I'm pregnant."
"Wha-," Xellos said, staring in shock.
"HAHAHAHAHA!" Filia burst out laughing, "Oh, the look on your face!" she said in-between giggles. "Good to have you back, honey." She said cheerfully as she walked out of the room.
Xellos was still very confused. "Wait! Are you pregnant or not?"
#2) Play date
Thila said good-bye to Xellos and went into her house. Everything was just how she left it. This is where I belong, she thought.
Xellos phased into his house after saying good-bye to Thila.
"AHHHH!" a voice screamed, "Out the front! Out the front! GO, GO, GO!" Xellos almost got trampled by Val and his friends. "Dad! Help! Mom's gone insane!" Val yelled as he passed Xellos.
"Wha-," Xellos said, staring in shock.
Filia then came storming down the stairs, wielding her mace. "VAL COPT METALLIUM! THAT'S THE LAST TIME I EVER LET YOU HAVE FRIENDS OVER!" As she marched past Xellos she calmly said, "Hi, honey," before leaping out the door, transforming into a dragon, and yelling every mom's battle cry, "GET BACK HERE NAMAGOMI(s)!"
"But that's my nickname," Xellos whined.
#3) Boom!
Thila said good-bye to Xellos and went into her house. Everything was just how she left it. This is where I belong, she thought.
Xellos tried to phase into his house, but discovered that it had been replaced by a giant crater, surrounded by smaller craters.
"Wha-," Xellos said, staring in shock.
He then looked up to see a half-transformed Val shouting, "YEAH! Laser Breath!"
The ancient dragon was being chased by a fully transformed Filia, yelling, "I SAID, STOP!"
I'm just going to rest up on Wolf Pack Island, Xellos thought, and prepared to teleport.
Before he could, however, Filia yelled down to him, "OH NO, XELLOS! YOU ARE NOT BACKING OUT OF THIS ONE! COME UP HERE AND HELP!"
Crap! Xellos thought. I was so close, too. Oh well. "Coming, dear!" he called back, and flew up to join the chase.
#4) Relationships
Thila said good-bye to Xellos and went into her house. Everything was just how she left it. This is where I belong, she thought.
Xellos phased into his house after saying good-bye to Thila, and found Val on the living room couch, crying, with Filia comforting him.
"Wha-," Xellos said, staring in shock.
Filia looked up to see Xellos standing in the doorway. "His girlfriend broke up with him," she stated calmly.
"What happened?" he asked, going over to the couch and sitting down beside Val.
"Well, I kept pestering her, like you told me to, and then she screamed, 'That's it, we're through,' at me. Not to mention a whole bunch of other things that I can't say because this fic is only rated Teen," Val explained.
"Only? Oh Cepheid," Xellos said. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Say! I know what'll make you feel better-a trip to the beach!"
"The beach? I'm not a little kid anymore, Dad," Val said.
"There's more than sand at the beach, Val," Xellos said, opening one eye and raising his eyebrows.
"Oh, you pervert!" Filia yelled, whacking Xellos.
"But I'm doing it for our son!" Xellos pleaded. Before Filia could think of a comeback for this statement, Val and Xellos had disappeared.
#5) Oops
Thila said good-bye to Xellos and went into her house. Everything was just how she left it. This is where I belong, she thought.
Xellos phased into his house after saying good-bye to Thila. Filia came at him, swinging her mace. "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE, YOU MONSTER!" she yelled in-between swings.
"Wha-," Xellos said, staring in shock, until his reflexes kicked in, and he retreated out the front door. Val was standing outside, shaking in fear. "What happened?" Xellos asked.
"Well, it happened like this," Val started.
"Hey Mom. I think I found one of Dad's extra staffs," Val said, walking into the kitchen, holding a staff. "But this one looks… different," he finished.
Filia turned around to see Val holding the staff. "Where did you find it?" she asked.
"In his study," Val said.
"Well, put it back, and forget you ever saw it," Filia cautioned.
"How would I forget-" Val got cut off as a beam of energy shot out of the staff's orb, and hit Filia.
Filia blinked a couple of times in shock, then seeing Val, took out her mace. "Valgaav! What are you doing here? I thought you died a long time ago!" she yelled, and started swinging her mace at Val. Val yelled and ran out the front door.
"Why did you use my forgetting staff without my permission?" Xellos questioned. "And why were you narrating in the third person?" he added.
"That wasn't me, that was the narrator, nar-rat-ing," Val said. "Am I in trouble, Dad?"
"We'll talk about this later," Xellos said, opening his eyes and giving Val his most menacing glare. "Right now, we have to fix your mother. Where's my staff? I can reverse the spell on her."
"I dropped it running away from Mom," Val said.
"This is going to hurt," Xellos moaned as he walked into the house.
#6) So This is My Grandma?
Val timidly crept into the room holding Xellos's staff. "Mom… Dad…"
"What is it, Val?" Filia said nervously.
"The kitchen's gone now."
"Wha-," Xellos said, staring in shock.
Zelas phased in, laughing! "Oh Cepheid! Just like your old man! Remember that time when you almost blew up my mansion, Xellos?"
"Yes," Xellos said, reluctantly.
"Anyway, wanna smoke, kid?" Zelas said, phasing a pack of cigarettes into her hand.
"Sure!" Val exclaimed.
"He does not!" Filia cried.
"The boy said yes," Zelas fired back, shrugging her shoulders.
"Well, I'm his mother, and I say no! Do you know what happens to your teeth?" Filia accused.
Zelas smiled, revealing perfectly white, straight teeth. "Nope!"
"That's because you're a monster!"
"And the boy's a dragon," Zelas retorted.
"Do you want to have a discussion about it?"
"Yes. In fact, I do!" And with that, the two arguing women teleported out.
"So that was my Grandma?" Val asked.
"Yep," Xellos said.
"Cool!
Finally done! Man, now I really want to convert some of these alternate endings into full-blown fics! If anyone has a fave ending that they want to see as a fic, just leave a review to let me know!
I'd like to thank my little brother for basically coming up with all of these endings, and adding most of the humor in the overall story. I would also like to thank my editor. Thanks, Mom! And lastly, I want to thank whoever has kept up with this fic! I couldn't have done it without you guys!
(I'm kinda wanting to write a prequel about the Thila and Xellos in the War of the Monster's Fall. Should I?)
Xellos/Thila: We have a problem.
Me: Why are you guys telling me about it?
Thila: Because it involves you.
Me: What did I do?
Xellos: You didn't write me or Thila in at the end of Chapter Seven! *whacks me with staff*
Me: Ow! That hurt!
Thila: I can understand not writing Xellos in but, what about me?
Me: Forgot, I guess. Why don't you two go bother someone else?
Xellos: Why?
Me: Because I'm writing a new fic for Slayers, and I need peace and quiet!
Thila: Okay, we're going! *both phase out*
Little Bro: Yes I had to put Xellos saying "Wha-" in every ending.
Me: Hey! Get out of my fic!
Little Bro: No. I wrote this chapter. You owe me. *walks out*
