Val: … no comment -.-; And no, DFA-san doesn't own the Slayers, nope. >> <<

And so the movie began as Filia twitched and sweatdroped, not really believing where she was sitting. What she didn't notice was Xel glaring at the VCR. He raised his hand as he opened his eyes, and instantly the video began doing weird noises.

Naya's eyes went wide, "Oh no!! No, no, no, no!!" she whimpered as she ran up to the machine, trying to get it to spit the movie out, "That was a new movie too! >.o Help! Akira-chan!! HELP ME!!"

A sweatdrop ran down the back of the blue haired girl as she let out a sigh, "My, my… it seems someone could use a lesson on self control," she muttered and got up to help the freaking girl my the VCR, "Here, let me," she poked it and blinked as it began doing even stronger noises, "Oh my ^^;; That can not be good…"

"Xelloss!!" hissed the golden dragon as she glared at him from her position on his lap, "Fix it! Or I'll…erm…" she stopped to think, "I'll do something you won't like!" her elbow `accidentally' ended up in his stomach as she continued to glare.

The mazoku grinned wider and winked, "Now where would the fun be if I were to fix it, ne Fi-chan?" he laughed slightly as Naya literally plunged herself behind the sofa, saying something about a mad VCR that wanted to blow up, "No THIS is fun!!" with a wave of his hand, Xelloss made the machine glow, and Filia had only just about enough time to launch herself behind the sofa too as the VRC exploded.

Akira coughed a cloud of smoke as she blinked, adopting a familiar close eyed grin, "Oh dear… I'm afraid I'm not all that good with machine, ne? I make them blow up… n.n" she watched Naya hop out from her hiding place.

"What am I gonna DO?!" wailed the poor girl as she began picking up the remains of the poor machine of from Akira's hair and ground, "I'm doomed!! Someone's going to kill me!! I don't know who, but someone WILL!! What AM I gonna do?!" she turned to the girl she had been cleaning, pale and quite nervous.

"Well… you can always ask Filia's mysterious guest for help," replied Akira matter-of-factly as she raised an eyebrow, "That might work." Her eyes looked directly in Xel's as she smiled.

The Golden dragon sweatdroped from behind the sofa, "I…erm…" she let her head pop from behind the piece of furniture, tail having popped out because of the explosion and now swaying behind her head, "Oh fine -.- who cares?"

"What?" asked Xel as he turned to look at Filia, eyes open and clearly confused, "No angry outburst? Oh fine, spoil sports…" he let himself visible to the other two girls and smiled, "Well… it seems you've figured it out," he closed his eyes as he turned to watch the blue haired girl closely, who in her turn seemed to grin wider, a gleam coming into her eyes.

Naya on the other hand was more than slightly surprised upon seeing a purple haired guy suddenly materialise in front of her, "You're… you're…" she completely forgot about the VCR and could only point at the apparition with one shaking finger, "You're…"

"A mazoku," claimed Akira calmly as she got up and circled Xel, "A mazoku as I come to think," she then grabbed Fi's tail and pointed it at the purple haired priest accusingly.

The blond sweatdroped as she eyed her tail, "Oh my… where did this tail come from?" she asked nervously, then snatched it back, still sweatdroping quite heavily.

Xelloss blinked once then smiled at Akira, "Why, you're a very smart mortal aren't you! ^-^ I applaud you!" he said as he clapped once or twice, then turned to look at the still pointing girl, just in time to see her faint, "Wonder what's with that girl…"

Filia twitched as she glared at Xel, "You baka Namagomi!!" she growled as she whacked him with her tail, "You made Kai-chan faint!! BAKA!! Now fix the video or else!!!"

The blue haired girl smiled and giggled for a few seconds, "Kawaiiness…" she put on her best innocent face, knowing perfectly well what she'd try out in a matter of seconds if Filia wasn't able to make the mazoku fix the video.

"Or what?" asked Xelloss as he raised an eyebrow, "You'll carry out a threat like `I'll kiss you' or something?" he said, he too looked like the picture of innocence.

Before the golden dragon could answer back, Akira coughed and began singing a very happy song, eyes gleaming as she did so. The moment the purple haired priest began twitching, Filia laughed and elbowed Akira, silencing her, "Oh… I'm so sorry, but when I see two people fight and quarrel I get the irremediable urge to sing for joy," she smiled up at Xel, "I still wanna see my film, please!" she whispered something about wanting to create a romantic atmosphere and proceeded to try and revive Naya by fanning her with her hand.

"Fine, fine…" sulked the mazoku, "I'll fix it -.-" he said as he rubbed his ears and walked towards the dead machine, he then held up a finger at Aki, "BUT! You'll have to promise NOT to do that again." He turned back to the machine, making it glow and not waiting for an answer from the still grinning girl.

Meanwhile Naya flustered her eyes open and looked up at the blue haired girl, "Mmmph… I just had the strangest dream… I dreamt there was a mazo…" she took this precise moment to look around and see Xel. Her eyes went wild as she sat up straight, "ECK!!!! MAZOKU!!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.

Akira sweatdroped and waved a hand in front of the terrified girl's face, "Hush! Ne, Naya this mazoku isn't that bad <,< plus, as Fi-chan is a Ryuzoku she can save you from all evil."

"Who ever said I was a Ryuzoku?" asked Filia as she blinked, only to be answered by Akira, who pointed directly at her tail, "Erm… Xelloss!! How's the video going?!" she asked, sweatdroping madly once again.

Xelloss mumbled something about a stupid video getting more attention than he was and turned to Akira, raising an eyebrow, "How do you know that I'm not that bad? <.<" he asked, "You know, if there weren't a huge massacre at the end of that movie, I wouldn't have done that…" he said, making the machine stop glowing and showing it perfectly regenerated.

"Fi's a DRAGON??" yelped Naya, twitching slightly, "Dream… this is a dream >.< Dream…"

The blue haired girl sighed and put Naya behind herself, then turned back to Xel, "How do I know? >.> Well let's just say that I dun know many mazoku who would follow a Ry… oh never mind!" she chirped and smiled a close eyed smile again.

The mazoku choose to ignore that comment and sat himself on the far right hand end of the sofa, "Let's just get this over with so we can pass to more amusing things," he mumbled, looking quite bored.

Naya twitched again as she sat herself on the opposite side, "This is not happening.... this is ALL a dream.... Fi and Aki will be here any moment for the party and will wake me up...." she said to herself as she clutched the pillow from before to her chest.

Akira sat next to the mumbling girl and looked form the space between herself and Xel to Filia, and then back again, "Well, it seems that I'll have to sit by him as Fi doesn't want too…" she wasn't even allowed to finish for Filia sweatdroped and hurried herself to sit down in the available space, muttering something about vicious mazoku and ryuzokus being the ones to be able to take care of that viciousness.

At this the blue haired girl laughed softly, "Amusing," she muttered, then turned and whispered something into Naya's ear, making her sit straight up and look at Xel and Fi, and then back at Akira, who smiled in return, "Might be amusing, don't you think?" a wink sealed the plan she had told her friend.

Filia was way too occupied with the film by now to notice all this, however, Xelloss did and he turned his head towards the other two girls, lifting an eyebrow slightly, "What are you talking about over there?" he asked, clearly trying to distract himself from the film as the blond beside him squealed and said something about a `kiss scene' coming up next.

"Oh nothing of importance to a mazoku and his dragon," was Akira's calm response, making said mazoku twitch and stand up abruptly.

"Ok, I'm going to the kitchen now, call me back when people start dying…" this said he walked off towards the kitchen.

This seemed to bring the Golden dragon back to reality. She looked at the empty spot where Xel had been and then looked towards the kitchen, where noise could be heard, "Eck! O_o;; He's gone to the KITCHEN!" she yelped as she rushed away and into the kitchen, finding him standing in a corner, holding a frying pan in one hand and looking at the mess around himself, "XELLOSS!!"

"Oh, hi Fi-chan!" he chirped as he sweatdroped slightly, "Got bored of the film and decided to help me prepare some dragon cuisine?"

Filia's screams of rage could be herd by Akira who tsked loudly and shook her head in mock sorrow, "I see that old habits never die…" she said softly, then turned towards her friend and whispered something about the lights going mysteriously out but the TV staying on somehow, "Think you can manage it? >.> I'll take care of the TV… find a way to take out the light." She finished just as the blond came into the room, dragging a swirly eyed Xelloss behind her.

"No you'll sit DOWN >.<!" she shouted as she pushed him into the sofa, twitching like mad and still carrying a frying pan with a noticeable dent on it.

Xelloss gave a pout, "Spoil sports," he mumbled as he crossed his arms over his chest, just as Naya shot off form the sofa.

"I gotta… erm… o.o;; Go to the bathroom!!" she snapped her fingers, "Yeah! That's it!! Bathroom!!" she walked out of the room rather quickly while Akira smiled secretively to herself.

The blond nodded at Naya then turned back at Xel, "Well I wouldn't have had to stop you if you hadn't tried to blow up the HOUSE!!" she growled at him as she also sat back down, "I know about you and your cooking…" she looked towards the film and sweatdroped as the massacre scene appeared, noting that the priest by her side immediately perked up, "Baka Namagomi -.-;"

Akira nodded to herself, raising from her seat and smiling mysteriously at Xel and Fi, "I need to go check behind the TV ^-^," she said as she walked towards said machine, "My bow… my bow...." she muttered as she went to look behind it, snapping her fingers and making a light glow appear on the TV, grinning all the while, then producing a bow in her hand, "Ha, found it!" and with that, she sat down, looking quite pleased with herself.

Suddenly the lights went out and Filia's eyes went wide as she launched herself at the nearest thing, so she could glomp it…. Which was none other than a very surprised mazoku, "The light!!" she shrieked, not noting whom she was glomping.

"A bit scared, aren't we, little dragon?" asked an annoying voice almost next to her ear, making her shriek again and pull back, eyes even wider than before.

"Namagomi!! How DARE you take advantage of me now that the lights are off?!" was her response as she pointed at him with her tail. Neither of the two non humans was preoccupied enough to notice that even though the lights had gone off, the TV was still playing the movie. Nor did they notice the blue haired girl's smirk and eye twinkle.

Naya burst into the room carrying a flashlight and attempting to look scared, "What was THAT??" she asked as she looked at everyone in the room, then she turned towards the still lit TV and hid a smile, "Whoa, dude, the TV's still on... weeeeiiiirddd..." she sat herself next to Akira and smiled, "Well, I guess we'll just have to watch the movie and `stuff' till the lights decide to come back on!" she chirped.

"So…" came the blue haired girl's voice after a while, "Are we gonna CHANGE into our pjs now?" she asked, trying to look as innocent as she could, Xelly-welly can stay if he gets pjs too, ne?" she was rewarded by two simultaneous facefaults, one from Xel and one from Fi, "What? Was it something I said?"

Naya blinked for a moment, "Well… I think he'd fit into some pjs I found the other day… THOSE special ones…" she said, grinning evilly.

This made the dragon maiden burst out laughing, "Oh, that would be great to see!!" she managed in between chokes of laughter.

"Indeed…" said Akira, smiling a still familiar close eyed smile, "A mazoku in pjs… then we can all glomp him," this got the blond to stop laughing immediately, her eyes going wide again at the same time as the mazoku gulped, "Well, go get them, Naya!" the other girl nodded her reply and ran off.

Xelloss fidgeted a bit, "Erm… exactly what kind of pyjamas are these?" he was answered when Naya returned, carrying some sky blue whole pjs with bunny ears and fluffy tail incorporated, "HUH?! O_o;;" the mazoku made a move to run for it, but was cut off by Filia's coo.

"If he puts those on, I'll do whatever one thing he asks me to do!!!" she laughed, probably not realising what she had just said.

"Anythiiiiing?" asked the purple haired priest as he snatched the pjs from the girl and ran off, not even bothering to ask where the bathroom was.

Filia suddenly stopped laughing as realisation dawned her, "Oh no… >.< what have I just SAID?!"

"A stupidity, Fi-chan?" asked Akira cheerfully.

":.." was the blonde's lack of response before she let out a sigh, "Akira… I sometimes wonder about you, you know?" this only made said girl smile wider and wink an eye at her as they waited for Xel to return.
