| The Slayers (in their later years) |
| Lina and Gourry: Gourry runs outside and ducks as a Dragonslave goes straight over his head and hits the neighbor's dog. "Please, Lina, give me another chance!" shouts Gourry. "Yeah, right!" screams Lina. "Please, Lina! I can explain stealing your food!" "Oh, you think that's what this is about? Think about it, Gourry!" Gourry pauses in thought. Finally, he says something: "I'm hungry." Lina sweatdrops, but it quickly evaporates when she becomes angry again. "Do you know what it's like to have to support us both?" Gourry shakes his head. "I spend a fortune on food! Everywhere I go, it's 'Look, it's Lina Gabriev, wife of the biggest moron' or 'Tell your husband he owes me fifty gold pieces'". "Hmm," says Gourry. "Don't 'hmm' me!" shouts Lina. "Thanks to you, I no longer have an identity of my own, and I'm too embarassed to go out in public! So, pack up and leave!" An avalanche of Gourry's stuff cascades out of the doorway. "Hey," says Gourry. "What about my teddy bear?" "Is that all a woman means to you? Fetching things? Get out!" "Where's my Sword of Light?" asks Gourry. "Darkness beyond twilight, crimsin beyond blood that flows..." "Aaah!" screams Gourry, as he drags his stuff away with him. Luckily, the Dragon Slave misses him. Unluckily, it hits the neighbor who came out to see what was wrong with his dog. Zelgadis and Amelia: Zelgadis and Amelia are in bed. "Zelgadis, do you ever want to have kids?" Zelgadis blushes and starts to talk nervously: "Well... um... I suppose yes, I guess..." "Wel," says Amelia. "We've been married for 2 years and I was just wondering." "But don't you want to wait until I get a cure?" asks Zelgadis. "Why should we?" asks Amelia. "Well, I just don't want our children to go through the same kind of pain I did. I mean, would you want to grow up as a golem/demon/human?" "Not really, but nobody really cares what you look like. If I did, I wouldn't have married you." "What?" "Nothing, nothing. Just take Gourry and Lina for example. Lina's a bit, um, how should I put this... underdeveloped, but that didn't get in the way of their true love." "Somehow I doubt that. Besides, how comfortable could having kids be with someone like me?" "You're right Zel, but I won't let something like that ruin the joys of parenthood! In the name of justice, I will find the cure to your condition!" "Please, Amelia, not so loud. Most people are still asleep at 2:00 A.M." "Sorry! What do you say we get some sleep and then start looking?" ... "Zel? Zelgadis? Oh well, he sure can sleep like a rock sometimes!" (corny humor!) Xellos and Filia: Xellos and Filia are in the kitchen. Filia is making breakfast, and Xellos is sitting in a very tall chair, drinking tea. "Wait a minute. Xellos, why do I make you breakfast? The only people that eat here are me and the baby!" "Think of it as a tradition," says Xellos. "While you and the baby eat a quiet meal, I dump mine in the garbage. That's the way it's been for a long time." "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I always thought you just ate fast!" "It's just so much more amusing this way!" Filia hits Xellos over the head with the frying pan. *** Later, Filia and Xellos are sitting around in the living room. Filia has the baby with her. "Peekaboo!" shouts Filia as she reveals her face to the baby. The baby laughs. "Please Filia! You know that kind of thing makes me sick!" complained Xellos. "Well, a baby needs a certain amount of stimulation according to this magazine." Filia holds up a child care magazine. Xellos points his finger at it and it burns to ashes. "You need to spend more quality time with the baby, Xellos! Go take a walk with her right now!" "I hate walking. Teleporting is so much easier and faster." "NOW!" "Okay," grumbled Xellos as he picked up the baby and went outside. *** Later, they came across an old lady. "Oh, my, what a cute child! What's her name?" "Uhh... Xellia," Xellos replied. "Oh, does she talk?" "No, but she can transform. Come on, transform for Daddy." Xellia transformed into a rather disturbing combination of a mozaku and a Golden Dragon. The person ran away in fright. Xellos laughed. "You and me will get along just fine." In the next hour or so, Xellos showed Xellia the proper way to light someone's rear on fire, blow things up, turn food rotten, and get that "oh, so silky shine" in your hair. When they returned, Xellos was laughing histerically from when Xellia made a frog jump down someone's throat. "We really bonded," said Xellos as they walked through the door. "I'll be the judge of that." Turning to Xellia, Filia said, "Hello Xellia. What did you do today?" "Now that is a secret!" Xellia replied. Her first words. Filia fell over anime style. "That's my girl!" exclaimed Xellos. |
