eastofthemoonHere's number six and only six days left until Christmas! ^_^
Title: Snowball Attack
Series: Slayers
Character: Zel, Gourry, Lina, Amelia and Pokota
Rating: G
Zelgadis tapped the tip of his ink pen against the map. “If we’re here,” he marked their position on the map. “Then that clue about where Rezo’s soul would be…”
“Ha ha! Gourry you’re going down!”
“We’ll see about that! Take this Pokota!”
“Ignore, ignore,” Zelgadis muttered the mantra to himself. “They’ll wear themselves out eventually.” Ironically, he had originally been glad they had stumbled upon the cabin up in the mountains. The quietness would have made it easier for Zelgadis to concentrate.
“Victory will be ours Miss Lina!”
“Fat chance!”
At least it was supposed to be quiet. The chimera shook his head. No, just tune them out. They’ll just-
“AAAAHHH!!! YOU’LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!!”
The pen snapped. “That’s it!” Zelgadis stomped, flung the door open and yelled, “Can’t you guys shut up?!”
From both respective sides, Lina, Gourry, Amelia and Pokota simultaneously dropped their snowballs.
“What bug crawled up your pants?” Pokota asked, annoyed. The game had just been getting good.
Zelgadis twitched. “I am trying to figure out where we need to go. However, it is proving to be rather difficult with all you screaming like a bunch of school children.”
“And you sound like a grouchy old teacher,” Lina remarked. “You can never be too old to have a snowball fight. Don’t be such a stick in the mud.”
“Why don’t you join us Mister Zelgadis?” said Amelia, attempting to change the mood. “You can help Mister Pokota and I fight Miss Lina and Mister Gourry.”
“No, thank you.” He leaned against the doorframe. “I have work to do.”
“Ah, come on Zel,” Gourry said, packing together a new snowball.
“It’s good stress relief,” said Lina as she and Pokota began to make snowballs of their own.
“Forget it,” Zelgadis replied firmly. “There is nothing you can say or do that will change-“
“Launch!” Lina yelled. Snowballs flew. One hit the chimera in the chest, another hit his shoulder. The last one nailed him in the face, knocking him over. Lina grinned in triumph while Gourry and Pokota exchanged high fives.
Amelia stared, horrified. “Mister Zelgadis, are you alright?”
Zelgadis said nothing, brushing the snow off his face. He glared and said in an icy tone, “This means WAR!”
In the end, Zelgadis didn’t get much work done. He did however admit that snowball fights were useful. Who knew using friends as target practice could be so relaxing?
