"The…c…c….OW! Linaaa…That hurt!"
"Don’t be a big baby! It’s my turn to borrow that book; not you!"
Gourry whimpered and sat cross-legged in his blue beanbag. "That’s not fair," he complained, cradling his jaw, which had a brand new red lump on it. He was quickly silenced by the pigtailed sorceress-to-be and her raised fist.
"You can’t even spell the word ‘a’! What are you whining about?"
"Lina, I wasn’t reading it! I was looking at the pictures."
Xelloss poked his head in-between the two, grinning childishly (with an excuse to for once…go figure) and leaning on their shoulders merrily. "My, my! Now, Lina, shouldn’t you share that?"
"Like you do that?" a frown etched across Lina’s face as she said so. Xelloss shrugged. "I thought so. Now, gimme!" Lina jerked the book away from Gourry’s hands.
Zelgadiss sighed heavily, wallowing in self-pity (as usual…). "Why can’t you make someone else do this?" he moaned. "I don’t like pink."
"Awwww! But the others are playing on their own, and you were all alone, so I wanted to cheer you up!"
"Pink isn’t cheerful!"
Amelia giggled and put down her teacup. "Why not? I think it’s cute on you!" She stood up from her chair and straightened her fluffy pink (is there a pattern here, folks?) skirt. She then pulled out a pink ribbon and walked over to her torture device-er-I mean her friend.
Zelgadiss cringed away from the bow and cried, "Get that away! Yuck! This isn’t fun!" He tried to fend himself with his teacup and saucer, but found no reliability in doing so. Shaking in fear, he called out the only spell he knew at the ripe young age of five.
"AMELIA’S GOT COOTIES!"
The playground fell deathly silent as they all gaped in Zelgadiss and his assailant’s way. Amelia cringed at all the looks, then broke into fitful sobs. "That’s not true! You’re a liar!"
Ripping off a pink bow and throwing it to the ground, Zelgadiss retorted, "Yah-huh! Then what’s with all the pink? Pink’s a cootie color!"
"Nah-uh!"
"Yah-huh!"
"Nah-uh!"
"Yah-huh!"
Gourry leaned back and whispered to Lina, "Is it true?"
Lina shuddered. "I think so! I knew it all along. She does got-"
"NO I DO NOT!!!!"
Well! Whatcha think about that? Pretty…um…um…creative?
"Nah-uh!"
The disclaimer! I don’t own any of these wonderful characters, although one day I do plot to take Xelloss as my slave…but…that’s another day. ^^ Ja ne, faithful readers! ~POOF! ~
