Teachings"Daddy! Daddy!" Jamie yawned and sipped his coffee before looking down from where his daughter was tugging on his housecoat. "What is it, Lucy?""Daddy, it's snowing!" Jamie let Lucy pulled him from the kitchen chair and drag him to the wide window in the living room. Lucy scrambled to the top of the couch and placed her small fingers on the glass. "See! It's snowing."Jamie sat beside her and stared out the window. Freshly fallen snow covered every inch of the yard and more was still coming. Each snowflake shimmered as they fell to earth.Jamie gave a low whistle. "Wow, Jack has outdone himself."Lucy took her gaze off the snow
Season of MemoriesFall was Amelia's favorite season. Yes, it was often chilly, but there was a crispness in the air and she just adored the colours the leaves would change into. As a child, she used to collect them and keep them in a small box. Of course, they would eventually disintegrate and she'd get a scolding from the maids for making a mess, but she felt that was a worthy sacrifice to make.The group was passing through a small town that was getting ready for a harvest festival that evening. As soon as Lina heard this, she insisted on staying since, as she put it, "Only a fool would turn down free food!" Gourry happily agreed with her.Amelia didn
How About A HugZelgadis was never a hugger. He could handle a handshake and even a pat on the back, but he was never a hugger. Zelgadis had given hugs often as a child, but he grew out of that quickly.It completely died out when he was turned into a chimera. Of course, there was Amelia. She would always greet any family or close friend with a giant sized bear hug. There was no doubt she had inherited this trait from her father.So, along with Lina and Gourry, whenever he met up with Amelia, she would smile happily and greet him with a hug.He'd always felt awkward about it, but as soon as he would about to tell her to not do it anymore the words would v
That Colour Is You"Oh, Miss Lina, look at this dress!""That's cute. Hey, look! There's a belt that goes with it!"Zelgadis sighed and exchanged a bored look with Gourry from his seat. He wasn't sure if two or three hours had passed since they had entered the dress shop. They had been on their way to the library, when Lina had spotted the "Everything is 50 percent off sign" in the window.Within ten seconds the girls dragged the boys inside so they could try on some dresses. Zelgadis was bored to tears, and it did not help matters that it was getting close to noon. If he didn't get a cup of tea soon, he might just try going on a Lina-like like rampage
Slayers Gears Chapter 3Chapter 3Enter the Justice Girl!Four days went by without any sight from Zolf or Rodimus. Lina did make sure to keep her ears out for any mention of about the pair from passing conversations among her costumers, but there proved to be none. Zelgadis made himself right at home in Lina's shop, by helping himself to her collection of spellbooks and texts. At least, that's what he was doing until Lina gave him the task of counting the inventory. Lina refused to let the man become a freeloader without earning his keep. However, Zelgadis was glad to have something to do inside. He never ventured outside and he stayed out of view from the
What's In A NameMako gripped the pile of forms tightly to his chest as he rounded the corner to home. The last thing he needed was for the wind to snatch up the forms and scatter them all over the street. With that said, Mako never imagined that registering a probending team required so much paperwork.Granted, compared to fighting in tournament itself and having to locate a water bender to join them in the first place, this was the easy part. The small makeshift shack that he Bolin and Mako called home came into view. The door was falling off its hinges again and he still had to fix the patches in the ceiling if he didn't want to sleep with rain dripp
The Femio EncounterThe Femio EncounterFakir stared and blinked, dumbfounded. It wasn't possible, was it? There was no way for a human to sparkle. It sounded like something one would find in a cheesy romance novel, but yet somehow the boy leaning on one knee holding out a rose was indeed sparkling. I-it's got to be sunlight or something like that. Fakir tried to bring logic into the bizarre sight before him.However, what truly boggled his mind was the girl that sat across from him on the bench. Fakir had to admit, he'd never imagined to see Ahiru in a scene like this, especially with a guy as...unique as this. She looked uncomfortable, and kept glanc
