"Great. Just great." Zelgadis muttered, pulling off his tunic and wringing it out. He was NOT a happy chimera. He was also a soaking wet chimera.

A quick "Levitation' over a river had turned into a strange and insane battle with a giant Jellyfish. No one was quite sure what said giant Jellyfish was doing there, but the expected conclusion had happened. 

Fireball: One, Jellyfish: Zip. 

And in the process they had all ended up in the middle of the river. 

Zelgadis hated water. He floated, well, like a stone. The others had quickly and easily swam to the shore, splashing each other in the process while he had walked along to bottom until he'd gotten out.

He -really- hated water.

"Ah, lighten up Zel." Lina scolded, pulling off a boot and pouring the water out. A couple of fish flopped out. "At least we got a snack out of it!"

"Yeah!" Gourry grinned, chasing after a fish that was attempting to flop to freedom. He'd already skimmed out of his armour, boots and tunic and laid them out to dry. He finally caught the fish by the tail and gestured with it. "It could have been a lot worse."

"Gourry-san's right." Amelia agreed, running her fingers briskly through her hair in an effort to dry it out. Zelgadis blushed and looked off in a different direction. Amelia's white outfit became rather clingy and slightly transparent when wet. A fact that the Princess appeared to be oblivious about. 

"And how could it have been worse?" He asked curtly, hanging his tunic up next to his cloak to dry.

"Maa... I could show you." Xelloss politely offered, suddenly appearing sitting on a tree branch above him.

Zelgadis glared at the Trickster. "No."

"Then why did you ask?"

"I- HEY!!!" 

The group of Slayers stared in surprise as they were treated to the site of Xelloss running by them, a piece of fabric waving from the top of his staff. Xellos cheerfully warbled, "I see Lon-don! I see France! I see Zelgadis' underpants!!!"

The furious half naked chimera chased after the dancing trickster, his sword in one hand as he held up his pants with the other. "GET BACK HERE YA FRUITCAKE!!!" He roared, following Xelloss into the forest.

Gourry, Lina and Amelia stared after in a mild shock. The sound of a Ra Tilt echoed in the distance. 

Gourry scratched his head, looking down toward the ground in puzzlement. "How did Xelloss get his underwear if Zelgadis is still wearing his pants?" The Master of the Oft Overlooked Obvious mused. 

"Oh my." Amelia blushed brighter than one of Lina's fireballs, hiding the lower half of her face with a hand. 

Lina merely shook her head, turning her attention back toward something that made sense. Namely roasting the fish they had caught. 

"There are somethings Gourry, that even -I- don't want to know!" 

Fin.
