Beach RP Wedding day!! The grooms are in a taxi, are lost and late. And the girls are almost ready to leave.

* Amelia knocks on Lina-san's door.
<Amelia> Lina-san? The limousine's here for us...
<Lina> Coming!
* Lina comes to the door... not looking at all enthusiastic.
<Amelia> Lina-san? Are you ready?
<Lina> Yeah.
<Amelia> Then let's go! ^_^
* Amelia looks very enthusiastic about this...
<Lina> Amelia...
<Amelia> Yes, Lina-san?
* Lina sits down on a nearby stool.
<Lina> What am I _doing_, Amelia? I'm getting married!
* Amelia looks curiously at Lina-san.
<Amelia> What do you mean, Lina-san?
* Limo_Driver taps his foot impatiently. They way they were going they'll expect him to break some laws of physics to get them there on time.
<Lina> I think we should reschedule... I think I need some more time to... well, think...
<Amelia> Lina-san...I *want* to marry Zelgadiss-san...don't you want to marry Gourry-san?
<Lina> I don't know! What if I do and then decide I didn't want to?
<Amelia> Don't you love Gourry-san?
* Lina is NOT used to answering questions like that honestly.
<Lina> I thought I didn't. But then I thought I did. And now what if I don't?
* Amelia is feeling very much out of her depth; the idea that Lina-san might get pre-wedding jitters -- that there was even such a thing -- is something that she had never thought of as possible...
<Amelia> Why, Lina-san?
<Lina> (Lina is brave enough to face a dark lord... but facing her own feelings is rather harder on her.)
<Lina> What do you mean, why?
<Amelia> Why are you worried?
<Lina> Because I'm about to get MARRIED!
* Amelia looks very confused and bewildered...
<Amelia> Lina-san...we're about to be late for our wedding...
<Lina> Maybe we should just call the whole thing off...
*** jen is now known as Xelloss
<Amelia> What about Gourry-san?
<Lina> He'll be okay with it... Gourry's patient...
<Xelloss> (<X> what about my wedding gifts?! Get married woman, or ELSE!)

* Xelloss who is taking a walk outside the house decides to takes seat on a comfort-looking patch of grass. However, as he sits down he sits down on something that at fist feels softer than the ground and then stings or bites. Xelloss yelps and skips to his feet again and glares surprised at the object on the grass.
<Xelloss> BO!!! What the HELL are you doing and where the HECK have you been?!
* Xelloss reaches down and scoops up the dirty little wolf plushie and brushes off some dirt from him.
* Xelloss stops for a second and then glares at the doll.
<Xelloss> YOU WHAT?!
<Xelloss> Plushie dolls DO NOT ELOPE!
* Xelloss startles and stares wide-eyed at the doll. "You... w-what?"
<Limo_Driver> (Who is he eloping with? The Turtle? Unless he found Lina's Gourry plushie.)
<Priestess-Justina> (Bo.... and the turtle.... *FLOOR*)
* Xelloss peeks around the small boulder her was going to lean against while sitting down and blinks, again, and gives Bo a narrow-eyed glare.
<Xelloss> Bo. Plushies, above all, do NOT get cubs. That's ridiculous!
<Limo_Driver> (<X> I forbid it! As long as you live under my roof!... wait. I don't have a roof....)
* Xelloss against his own better judgment looks thru some of the thicker grass and hold his finding up into the light. He stares at it.
<Priestess-Justina> (*elf waits in suspense* *DRUM ROLL*)
<Xelloss> Bo, these are some of the strangest chibi-wolf-plushies in keychains I've seen.
<Priestess-Justina> (*giggles madly*)
<Limo_Driver> (Who's the mother?)
<Xelloss> Ooh, look this one's kinda cute -it has stripes!
<Xelloss> ACK, that has nothing to do with it! I refuse to buy this cubs-idiocy!
* Xelloss stops. Xelloss gives Bo a looong suspicious stare.
<Xelloss> Where the hell did they come from IF that's true. You said you were a guy, Bo!
<Lina> (<Matthew Broderick> He's small... he's cute... he's fuzzy, and... he's pregnant.)
<Xelloss> Oh, you are a guy. Then where's this "Mom"?! Wolves are not as straying as humans, so what did you do with her she can't have left her.. uh.. 'cubs'?!
* Xelloss stares wide-eyed at Bo. "A CAT plushie?!"
* Xelloss stares into thin air looking stupid. "Oi. My plusie is a cross-species pervert."
* Xelloss gives the little mini-plushies he holds by their key-chains an off look. "Oh. Kinda explains the.. stripes.. and colour. Ah guess."
* Xelloss seems rather blank for a moment. The, he snaps back at his plushie friend.
<Xelloss> HOW DARE you elope on me you little filthy thing! Plushies do NOT elope! Now you expect ME to take care of the kids, do you?!... And what are YOU LOOKING AT??!!
* Xelloss gives the small group of tourists who has stopped and stared in dumbfounded silence at him a flaming glare.
* Xelloss stares at the tourists as the scoots away to put some safe distance between themselves and the madman with his plushies.
* Xelloss the pockets Bo and his litter or whatever and grounds him for good measure.

<Amelia> Lina-san, are you sure Gourry-san will be patient about *this*?
<Lina> Gourry's _always_ patient... that's one of the things I...
<Amelia> You what, Lina-san?
<Lina> Nothing...
<Amelia> Lina-san, we need to go...we're going to be late...
* Amelia looks desperate to be there...
<Lina> But...
<Amelia> Lina-san! Let's go!
* Amelia grabs Lina's wrist and starts dragging her out.
<Amelia> It'll be wonderful, Lina-san! You'll be wondering why you ever were doubtful!
* Lina acks
* Limo_Driver tips his hat to Amelia. He's seen hesitant brides and grooms before. It wasn't his job to care. Merely get them to the wedding. "Do you need help, ma'am?"
<Amelia> Yes, sir...make sure she doesn't escape while I get the rest of the wedding party...
* Lina is ruining her makeup job.
* Amelia goes back in, first looking for Filia-san...
* Limo_Driver picks up the struggling Lina, throws her over a shoulder and throws her into the limo and locks the power locks.
<Lina> HEY!
* Lina starts pounding on the windows.
<Lina> What do you think you're doing?!
<Amelia> Filia-san? Xelloss-san?
<Limo_Driver> Sorry, ma'am. I've enabled the child safety locks. You can only open the door from the outside.
<Lina> FIREBALL!
<Limo_Driver> Did I mention the bullet-proof glass?
The fireball bounces off the window, comes back, and ruins Lina's dress.
* Amelia wanders towards the rooms...
<Amelia> Filia-san? We need to go...
* Filia looks around, sighs and nods "Alright..." Where could Turtle-san have gotten to..? She wanted to see how that little bow tie would have looked on him..ahhh well.
* Amelia leads Filia-san on out and to the limousine...
<Amelia> Oh no...
* Lina is still raging away.
* Limo_Driver pounds on the window. "I get paid whether you are decent or not! All I have to do is delivery you there safely. If you want to go there naked and a raging hideous mess that's your business!"
<Amelia> Lina-san...
* Lina sits down and folds her arms.
<Lina> !sulk
* L-sama pats Lina on the head. 'Everybody needs a hobby!'
<Amelia> Filia-san, can you do anything?
<Limo_Driver> And if anything is messed up in my Limo! You're going to get billed for it!
<Xelloss> (<X> Xelloss' Fashion -for all types of style, clothes, and rags crisis!)
* Filia sweatdrops, looks at Amelia "I would have thought she'd be happy..."
* Amelia nods sadly, wondering if Lina-san's made it impossible for the wedding to be held today...
<Amelia> Lina-san, do you have *ANY* idea what it would take to reschedule the wedding now?
<Filia> There should be plenty of food too Lina-san...do you really want to waste it all?
<Lina> Um...
* Lina is torn...
<Lina> Let's go.
* Amelia sighs and gets into the limousine...
<Limo_Driver> Wait. Let me wipe off the ash. *swipes the leather seats.*
* Amelia hopes and prays that nothing *else* will go wrong...
<Amelia> Thank you, sir...
<Amelia> Filia-san, do you have any idea where Xelloss-san is? I *thought* he said he'd be coming with us...
* Filia twitches "I thought so too.."
<Amelia> ...you want to find him and tell him that we're leaving?
* Xelloss peeks out from around a corner.
<Xelloss> Someone called?
<Xelloss> ^_^
<Amelia> Oh! There you are, Xelloss-san! We're ready to leave...
* Filia sweatdrops "And where were you just now?"
* Limo_Driver sighs. "Finally!!"
* Xelloss walks over, hands in pockets, and stops and looks at the limo and it's inside. "Oi. Someone barbequed something in there?"
<Amelia> Lina-san...
* Amelia sighs.
<Xelloss> *Blink* Someone barbequed Lina-san? .... Oh, you mean Lina-san barbequed something. Ano, Lina-san.. wasn't that a rather unintelligent thing to do.. in a limo?
<Limo_Driver> So is eveyone _finally_ here?
<Filia> Yes sir..
<Amelia> Yes, sir...
* Limo_Driver closes the door and gets into his seat and pulls out of the driveway.
* Limo_Driver peaks out the window while pulling out of the driveway. "Are you also with the wedding party?"
* Xelloss just looks at the car and driver. This was just the 'Ignore Xel and his stupid talk/questions or just don't take him seriously'-day, wasn't it?
* Limo_Driver looks at Xel's tux and sighs. The purple haired guy must be slow. The limo driver drives back into the driveway and opens the door. "Here you go, sir. Please get in so we can go."
<Xelloss> Um. Ah, heh, I'm fine, thanks. ^^;
* Xelloss waves dismissively and sweatdrops. Better keep clear.
* Limo_Driver sighs and closes the door and gets back into the drivers seat and pulls out and starts driving to the wedding.

* Priestess-Justina looks at all the lovely wedding decorations as she waits for the happy couples. Oh, this will be such a beautiful wedding day!! But where ARE the couples??
* Priestess-Justina is so excited! Just think of the HONOR of marrying the princess of Seillune, that shining pillar of Justice!!
* Priestess-Justina listens happily as the band starts playing sappy music to entertain the three or so guests who are sitting waiting for the wedding to start.
<Xelloss> (*howls sappy beautiful piano-song* waaaah.. it is so beautiful! *sniffle*)
The wedding setting is outdoors, the sun shines down and a gentle sea breeze keeps the temperature on the cliff cool and pleasant.
The justice temple consists of a small temple on a dramatic cliff edge (Justice freaks like dramatic entrances/settings) beside a cliff top gardens in which the wedding will take place. The band plays over the sound of waves crashing while the few guests begin to fidget. It's almost time and there's no sign of ANY of the wedding party!
* Priestess-Justina arranges her brilliant white Robes of Justice making sure they are draped to wave dramatically around her at the appropriate times, and ensures the sun is at the correct angle to give the best effects for her speeches.

<Gourry> Let me see the burger map.
<Zelgadis> You can Read a map?
* Taxi_Driver hands over the map, then bites his cheese burger.
<Gourry> I should. I see Lina do it all the time. How hard can it be?
<Zelgadis> Do you even know where we are?? If I could only figure out where we are..... HEY!! Will you please STOP driving in circles around this fountains????
* Zelgadis sweatdrops at Gourry..
* Zelgadis continues banging his head on the back of the seat in front of him..
<Gourry> Well we are a block from that burger joint where we got our food. What was the name of it?
<Taxi_Driver> Please don't be doing that Mr. Stoney, those seatings take much to replace.
* Zelgadis grits his teeth.
<Taxi_Driver> It was...Mr. Mousey's Happy Hamburger Plaza.
* Zelgadis must not fireball.. must not fireball
<Gourry> (*Gourry looks around hearing a familiar calming chant. It reminds him of Lina. ^_^*)
<Zelgadis> Look! Can you just drive back to the hotel PLEASE?
* Zelgadis wonders if they can find another taxi driver....
<Taxi_Driver> Back to hoteling place Mr. Stoney..? ^^;; Well...I would be doing that...but I don't be thinking I know where we are.
<Zelgadis> Gaaah!! What do you mean??? How in the heck did you get here if you don't know where here is???
<Taxi_Driver> I followed the map. ^^;
<Gourry> We can't back track now. He doesn't know. Don't get so mad!
<Zelgadis> So... Follow.. The... MAP.. BACK!
* Gourry points to the map at a big mouse head icon. "This must be it. I'm almost sure that North is that way... Zel, am I right?"
<Zelgadis> Yes! That way is north! And we're somewhere on the wrong end of town.
* Taxi_Driver plays with the boppy head dog.
<Gourry> You don't need to get so snippish, Zel. Why don't we go to a burger joint...
<Taxi_Driver> Burgers? More food? *grin*
<Zelgadis> We already went to a burger joint. We're late! Amelia's gonna kill me... Heck Lina's REALLY gonna kill you!
<Gourry> I wasn't finished. We get to this burger joint. *points.* and we can get to the beach house and you can get us there afterwards.
<Taxi_Driver> So no bugering food?
* Taxi_Driver pouts.
<Amelia> ( <Zelgadiss> I don't want to jilt Amelia...if I do, she'll never sleep with me again... )
<Gourry> Well... maybe we can stop for some onion rings. They have really good onion rings!
<Taxi_Driver> Yay! ^^
<Zelgadis> (Zelgadis... When he's forced to be married he'll whine about it. But the minute he's being Prevented from getting married he'll whine even louder about that!)
* Zelgadis bangs him head on the seat a few more times.
<Zelgadis> Fine.. Just get us back there...
<Taxi_Driver> What did I be saying about my seats?
* Taxi_Driver crosses arms.
<Zelgadis> (They actually had Zel's hair looking neat, before this too ^^;;)
<Zelgadis> Look, shut up about the damn seats and drive. I'll stop when we get there!
<Gourry> Okay... we go back to Mr. Mousey Happy Hamburger joint then go past it two blocks to Happy Hal's Honkytonk and Burger Joint then turn right and go 3 block to Chico's Tacos (I love that place!) and...
* Taxi_Driver nods, grinning. A few drive through might be nice to stop by..^^
* Gourry continues to name a long list of directions that somehow the Taxi Driver understands because of the directions being given are in restaurants.
* Limo_Driver pulls up to the temple, gets out and opens the door and helps the girls step out of the limo.
<Amelia> Thank you, sir!
* Priestess-Justina arranges her brilliant white Justice robes so ensure they will flare dramatically at the proper times and checks the angle of the sun to work best with her dramatic speeches.
* Lina is a mess... both in appearance and in demeanor.
* Xelloss simply teleports himself to the destination, pops up at the temple and looks around.. and decides that he wants to torture whoever deigned this place. ACK the purity colours and chirpy justice glow.
* Xelloss stands and clearly looks 'Eeeww...'
* Priestess-Justina sees the wedding party finally arriving off in the background and brightens. Hopefully they got their coaching on how the procession is supposed to go and all.
* Priestess-Justina stands tall and dramatically gestures for the band to start the wedding processions song
* Xelloss scoots up to peek around a pillar and down the way towards the altar and notices the priestess.
* Xelloss raises a brow. Nice legs. Horrid tastes. Good GAWD this place had some looks.
* Priestess-Justina beams cheerfully at the wedding party in the distance and blinks.. Maybe she should have worn her glasses... Is one of the brides wearing a somewhat less traditional dress?
* Amelia walks up the aisle...
<Amelia> Ma'am? Where are our fiances?
<Priestess-Justina> Hmm? They're not here yet?
<Amelia> No, they aren't...
* Xelloss smirks.
* Priestess-Justina blinks.. did she just see a man peeking around a pillar Maybe it's one of the grooms.
<Priestess-Justina> But who is that? *points to where she thought she saw Xelloss*
* Amelia looks and doesn't see anybody...
<Lina> Oh, well, looks like we can't have a wedding, let's go.
* Xelloss peeks out again and point to himself. "Someone called?"
<Amelia> ::pretty much outraged:: Lina-san!
<Amelia> Do you *THINK* Gourry-san wouldn't have shown up?
* Lina starts towards the exit again.
<Lina> Do you SEE Gourry-san around here anywhere?
* Amelia grabs Lina-san's wrist.
<Filia> He might just be running late Lina-san!
* Xelloss walks up and watches Lina.
<Lina> Leggo of me!
<Priestess-Justina> Don't worry! I'm sure they're coming. Nothing can stand in the way of True Love!
<Filia> (cept a psycho cab driver?)
* Amelia is glad she knows for certain that Zelgadiss-san will show up...
* Xelloss scoots away sideways a few steps from the scary lady.
* Lina struggles
<Priestess-Justina> It's such a beautiful day for a wedding isn't it? *sighs* You girls are so lucky. To be married, forever bound in love to your one and onlys so that you may united in Justice for the rest of your lives!!!
* Filia grabs Lina's other wrist "Lina-san! Can you imagine what would happen if you left, and Gourry-san came? And how he would FEEL?"
<Lina> HELP!
<Priestess-Justina> You can't leave now Miss!! That would be Wrong!! Didn't you promise your beloved you would be here??
<Amelia> ::whispering to Lina-san:: What about the food?
<Lina> He's not my beloved! I don't wanna get married!
<Lina> Hell with the food!
* Xelloss looks at the priestess lady with a doubtful and still slightly 'eew' expression.
<Filia> Even the wedding cake Lina-san?
<Lina> Yes! Even that!
* Priestess-Justina runs and stands dramatically in Lina's way
<Amelia> Lina-san, how could you do this to Gourry-san?
<Priestess-Justina> Stop! In the Name of LOVE!
<Xelloss> *to no one in particular* Lina Inverse turns down food. Yup, now the world is going all weird.
<Lina> I don't love him!
* Amelia has *no* idea what to do...
<Filia> Then how do you feel about him Lina-san?
<Priestess-Justina> I cannot allow you to leave! Don't give up on your dreams of a happy life together so easily! Love Conquers all! Just because your Beloved is a little late, it's probably just traffic. But Love WILL CONQUER!
* Xelloss gives Justina a slightly horrified look as is thinking 'By Shabby-sama, what IS the woman saying?!'
* Priestess-Justina does an Amelia-like Justice pose complete with heats and colored lights in the background
* Lina is just desperate to get OUT of here!
* Xelloss holds his head and calmly goes back to hide behind that pillar.
* Xelloss thinks Lina is heading in the right direction.
* Filia holds onto Lina "Lina-san...at least stay and see if Gourry-san shows up! Then you can talk it out with him instead of just running away!"
<Priestess-Justina> Keep you Courage in your Heart! Never Give up your Dreams! You came here to get married for a reason. That reason is that Love Moves you from within. Don't let fear Ruin it!
<Priestess-Justina> To run away would be cowardly. Are you a coward?
<Lina> He blackmailed me!
<Filia> Gourry-san...blackmailed you...? *blinku*
<Lina> He said if I didn't marry him, he'd tell everybody I go to bed with a plushie of him.
* Xelloss massages his temples. Shabby-sama.. what doesn't a mazoku have to live through these days.. (the speeches and the decor..)
<Filia> You go to bed with a plushie of Gourry-san...? *blink* Did you make it yourself Lina-san?
<Lina> Shut up!
<Priestess-Justina> *blinks* Blackmail? That is not.. Just!
<Filia> But if you sleep with a plushie of him, doesn't that say something Lina-san..?
<Amelia> Lina-san...you sleep with a plushie of Gourry-san...?
<Priestess-Justina> Surely you must have loved him or you would never have agreed!
* Xelloss looks around like a mischievous kid and when he doesn't spot anyone looking he innocently-looking kills (steps on) some of the dreadfully-happy-justice-looking temple flowers in the background.
* Lina sits down on the floor and cries.
* Amelia why Lina-san would happily sleep with a *plushie* of Gourry-san but not want to sleep with the real thing....
* Xelloss blinks. Misery? Confusion? Panic?
* Xelloss skips. Yay!
<Filia> Lina-san....
* Xelloss skips back to check what the group is doing.
<Xelloss> Nani, what is this, Lina-san? Tears?
* Lina blows her nose on the nearest available shred of her veil.
* Xelloss tilts his head to one side looking worried. (yea, RIGHT)
* Priestess-Justina wonders where the grooms are.
<Filia> (Taxi_Driver: Just letting me be stopping at ONE more driving through? ^_^ *gets fireballed* X.x;)
* Xelloss hunches down on his feet and lays an arm around Lina's shoulders comfortingly and pats. "There, there Lina-san. Don't worry, I'm sure this will all end happily in a romantic wedding!"
<Lina> DON'T TOUCH ME!
* Lina fireballs Xelloss.
<Amelia> Lina-san!
<Amelia> Don't throw fireballs around! Remember what the hairdresser said!
* Xelloss blinks, smokes, and topples over twitching..
* Xelloss @_@
<Lina> (Really, Xelloss, smoking is bad for your health!)
<Priestess-Justina> Please Miss, No Fireballs at my temple!
* Filia stares at Xelloss...then jumps when Lina yells and fireballs. Sweatdrops, pokes Xelloss with mace-sama "Xelloss..?"
* Xelloss choughs, snaps back up comically and dusts himself off. No shredded clothes here. Xel says "Well."
<Lina> I wanna go home.
<Priestess-Justina> You can't DOO that Miss!! Don't give up!
<Lina> Too late!
<Priestess-Justina> You need Determination!
* Lina gets up and starts stomping towards the exit.
<Xelloss> The bride doesn't go home. If I'm correct. let em check my notes. *brings out something quite similar to that guide-book of his *
* Priestess-Justina runs and stands in front of Lina
<Amelia> Lina-san!
<Lina> I've got PLENTY of that! I'm the beautiful sorcery genius Lina Inverse, and nobody can make me get married if I don't want to!
<Amelia> Lina-san, you said you WANTED to get married!
<Priestess-Justina> Don't let the enemies win! Maybe some Enemy of Love and Justice is delaying the grooms as part of an evil plot!
<Filia> Can you at least wait for Gourry-san so you two can talk this out?!
<Lina> We'll talk it out later. I need a bath.
<Priestess-Justina> But you WANT to get married! I'm sure you do! Why else did you go through all this trouble?
<Lina> Get outta my way!
<Amelia> (Including the trouble of making Amelia's wedding a double-wedding...)
* Xelloss stands and reads his little guide book. "Well, that.. " Xelloss stops and gives Justina a suspicious look as if he is just waiting for her to blame HIM.
<Priestess-Justina> I cannot allow this crime against true romance to take place!
<Lina> WHAT true romance?!
<Priestess-Justina> YOUR True Romance!! You're just a little nervous. I can see it in your eyes. Only someone who is in Love has such passion there *sighs*
<Amelia> Lina-san...you're the one who decided this would be a double-wedding...
<Lina> Geeze, let a girl make a mistake for once in her life, huh!
<Priestess-Justina> If you leave here today THAT will be the biggest mistake you make!
* Lina starts to power up another fireball.
<Amelia> LINA-SAN!
* Xelloss shrugs. "Tisk tisk. poor poor Gourry-kun. he'll be devastated. Oh well, can't force it! Guess I'll just have to be there and comfort the poor man. Ah I can just imagine those delicious--ERR.. *chough* horrible floods of depression and feelings of rejection! "
* Lina throws the fireball at Xelloss and leaves the temple before anybody can stop her.
* Xelloss jumps out of the way of this one with a slight 'Eep!'
* Filia sweatdrops "L-Lina-san!"
* Amelia sighs...
* Xelloss -still in a silly dodging pose- "Whoa. That girl's mind is set."
<Priestess-Justina> You're still getting married aren't you?? Someone needs to get married!
<Amelia> Yes, ma'am...
* Lina doesn't know where she's going... spots an ice cream parlor... yeah, that sounds good.
<Priestess-Justina> *calls after Lina* Go find your True Love and save him from whatever peril is making him late! Then you'll return, I'm sure of it!
* Amelia wonders where Zelgadiss-san is...
<Captain_Kelsey> Arrgh. Where be my seat? *Wanders in with his date.*
* Xelloss straightens himself to a normal standing. "Oh yea, rright." He looks in his book. "It says here.. -'In case that the grooms fail to show, the Bride must marry the Best Man.'" Xelloss tilts his head. "What an interesting tradition. Oh wait.. I'M the Best Man!"
* Lina goes into the parlour, orders five of the biggest sundae they make (the type you get a prize if you finish it), and sits down to eat.
<Priestess-Justina> Ah! An Ally of Justice. There are plenty of seats, *gestures to the mostly empty benches*
* Filia looks over...smiles "Kelsey-san! You came too?" Gives Xelloss a *look*.
<Filia> What kind of tradition is THAT?
<Priestess-Justina> Marries the Best Man? *blinks* Maybe.. At least someone will be getting married!
* Xelloss blinks. Xelloss then looks from Justina to Amelia and then back again. He also notes that that irritating captain has arrived with an interesting date. Oh well.
* Captain_Kelsey raises his eyebrow. "Arrgh. Justice?... Oh hello, Miss Filia."
<Amelia> But...I'm supposed to be marring Zelgadiss-san!
<Priestess-Justina> Come on!!
<Filia> Zelgadis-san is just running late!
* Priestess-Justina grabs Xelloss and Amelia and attempts to drag them towards the altar
* Amelia looks like she'll be joining Lina-san in a few seconds...
* Xelloss gets dragged along while still holding he book with a wicked smile and saying "Oh my."
* Filia twitches "Wait just a second! YOU'RE preaching about true love, and here you are not waiting for the groom and dragging these two off to get married!?"
* Amelia pries herself free and follows Lina-san's example on running out...
* Filia can't blame her...but...
* Lina sits in the ice cream parlour working her way through her third sundae.
<Captain_Kelsey> Arrgh. What be happening Miss Filia? Isn't Miss Amelia marrying the stone fellow? *Motions to his date to sit down.*
<Priestess-Justina> HEY!! WAIT! We were supposed to be having a WEDDING here!!!!
* Priestess-Justina looks quite irritated.
<Priestess-Justina> SOMEONE is getting married!
<Captain_Kelsey> Arrgh. Well the bride just ran off. Arrgh.
* Xelloss watches Amelia go. He pouts. "Geesh, running like I am some kind of foul evil creature just out to pain others."
* Xelloss blinks. "Oh right, I am that, too. Silly me."
<Priestess-Justina> What does your book say if the bride disappears?
<Xelloss> Huh? Oh, here you read.
* Xelloss hands her the book.
* Filia smiles at his date, then sighs "Well...it was going to be a double wedding with Gourry-san and Lina-san, and Amelia-san and Zelgadis-san. But Zelgadis-san and Gourry-san haven't shown up yet, Lina-san got cold feet, and Amelia-san does NOT want to marry Xelloss." Sweatdrops.
* Amelia decides to find Zelgadiss-san, Gourry-san, and Lina-san...
<Captain_Kelsey> Arrgh. The groom has to marry the maid of honor. But there be no groom so the best man be the groom.
<Xelloss> Ah, that makes sense ah guess.
<Captain_Kelsey> Arrgh. Who be the maid and the best man?
* Xelloss stops.
<Xelloss> WAIT A MINUTE!
* Priestess-Justina looks at Filia.
<Priestess-Justina> Come along peacefully you two.
* Filia 's jaw drops "I-I can't marry HIM!"
* Xelloss stares at Justina and then at Filia and then back again.
* Priestess-Justina grabs Filia and Xelloss and proceeds to start dragging..
<Xelloss> Wait, I agree with the dragon! (for once)
* Filia struggles...then blinks "You do?" Of course, he hadn't been complaining about getting married off to AMELIA a second ago!!
* Captain_Kelsey sits next to his date. "Arrgh! Yes ye can! Ye will be a cute couple! And ye should have known the traditions when ye agreed to be the seconds."
<Filia> So you can marry Amelia-san and not me?! *twitch*
<Xelloss> I only did it for the party arrangement possibilities1
* Filia glowers "Didn't you just ask me before if I would marry you? And you weren't complaining when you were dragged off with Amelia-san!
<Xelloss> I.. did what?
<Filia> You asked me before if I would marry you!
<Xelloss> ...and, can't you pple tell a joke?!
* Captain_Kelsey chats with his date. "Arrgh. Aren't these young ppl be silly."
<Xelloss> I did? I did not!
<Filia> A...JOKE?! *cue flame background thingy* WHAT KIND OF JOKE WAS THAT!?
<Xelloss> *to Kelsey, starting to get red in face* Hey, whoa re you calling young pple?!
* Xelloss stops as the mood suddenly changes and shrinks a little...
* Priestess-Justina looks dangerously justicely determined
<Xelloss> I.- I- never MEANT to marry Amelia for heck's sake!!!
<Priestess-Justina> Look! We ARE having a wedding here whether you like it or not!
* Xelloss hides behind the scary justice lady, who is scary but not as scary as a flaming-angry Filia.
<Amelia> ( <Amelia> So, I was just a plaything? )
<Xelloss> (<X> Well, duh?)
<Amelia> ( <Zelgadiss> MY toy!)
* Filia whips out mace-sama "NAMAGOMI!! Using poor Amelia-san as a plaything?!"
<Priestess-Justina> *to the band* Start the wedding music if you PLEASE!
* Xelloss sweatdrops. She knew about that? oh wait, she was referring to the joke still. "ACK! IT WAS JUST A DAMN JOKE!"
* Xelloss runs around to keep himself on opposite side of the priestess at all costs.
* Filia lunges, trying to bash Xelloss "So, you can sleep with me and not marry me then!! Typical of a namagomi mazoku!!"
* Captain_Kelsey chats with his date and sweatdrops. "Arrgh. I always thought Miss Filia would make a lovely bride..."
* Priestess-Justina ducks.
<Priestess-Justina> If you please Miss, put the Mace away and stand still while I marry you two!
* Xelloss leaps out of the way and screams back "Well you could have COMPLAINED EARLIER if it meant so darn much!!!"
<Priestess-Justina> *to Xelloss* You would dare take advantage of this Sweet Lady here?
<Xelloss> (<X> No, YOU are HER toy. Geesh, he never gets it, does he?)
* Filia glowers...is on the brink of transforming by this point.
<Priestess-Justina> (Xel's probably right. Amelia's stone toy)
<Amelia> ( <snicker> But, at least Zel's enjoying it too.)
* Priestess-Justina grabs Xelloss' hand and FIlia's hand with the mace and forces the two hands together
<Xelloss> Sweet?! I bet you..-- HEY!
<Priestess-Justina> Now! In the Name of True Love and Happiness we gather to Unite these two...
* Captain_Kelsey calls out. "Arrgh! Just marry the girl! Ye know ye be in love with her!"
* Xelloss turns around slowly to glare PURE DEATH at Kelsey. The look which makes you uncertain if the saying should be not 'IF looks could kill' but 'Look THAT kill'.
<Lina> (<Lina> And somebody thought me and Gourry would have scary kids.)
* Captain_Kelsey smiles and waves at Xel as he hugs his date to him.
* Filia blinks...now? O.O; What had she just done?! Yelled at Xelloss for using Amelia as a plaything and using her own innocence for his fun and being willing to marry AMELIA and not HER! If anyone was marrying the namagomi, it'd be her!...She just hoped she wouldn't end up regretting it later. Maybe this was how Lina had felt? Sweatdrops.
<Xelloss> (<X> I really should *I* WOULD!)
<Priestess-Justina> On this Glorious Day these two Allies of Justice will be United with the unbreakable Bonds of Love!! *special effect here*
* Xelloss falls to floor and slowly picks himself up afterwards.
<Xelloss> SAY WHAT?!
* Captain_Kelsey takes out a handchief and wipes at his eye. "Arrgh. I always cry at weddings! Arrgh."
* Priestess-Justina ignores the slightly nervous, but happy groom and continues with the various wedding bits.
<Xelloss> Who's a bloody ally of justice here?!
* Filia sweatdrops. She still wondered if maybe Amelia had spent some time in this place before... Looks at Xel as he falls and gets back up, sweatdrops again. Then Kelsey started crying and....oy...
* Priestess-Justina holds Xelloss and Filia together in a vice grip and spots various, speeches about love and justice and the true, beautiful meaning of marriage.
* Amelia walks past the ice cream parlor where Lina-san can be seen inside eating giant ice-cream sundaes much to the horror of the people in there...
* Xelloss only remains frozen in place because he is shocked and pretty much feeling ill.
<Lina> (<CD> I now pronounced you Mazoku and Bi-yotch.)
<Priestess-Justina> *to Xel* Do you take this woman to be your Wife, to protect and live with in Justice and True Love for all eternity?
* Priestess-Justina steps on Xel's foot to make him make a noise
* Xelloss goes "Ah!" and blinks and STARES at the lady.
<Priestess-Justina> Good!
* Lina continues to eat copious amounts of ice cream. With her dress in ruins and her makeup all smeared, she looks like something raised from the dead. The other ice cream shop patrons are getting worried.
<Priestess-Justina> *to Fil* Do you take this man to be your Husband, to protect and live with in Justice and True Love for all eternity?
* Xelloss looks like 'Er, what?'
* Xelloss goes blue. "Justice and true love, for all ETERNITY?! What are you trying to do, KILL ME??!!"
* Priestess-Justina ignores the nervous but happy groom and waits for the bride
<Amelia> (Oh, I'm sure Filia'll be happy to beat you up regularly, Xelloss!)
* Gourry ,somewhere far away... "Okay. Now take a right... no. The other right at the Big Beefy's Burgers!"
* Zelgadis-going-insane fidgets nervously... Oh L-Sama.... they seem to be getting unlost now. Does that mean he's actually going to have to get married??
* Filia sweatdrops...all eternity with Xelloss...? Glowers again at Xelloss for that...then perks up mentally. Kill him? Well, if he put it that way.. "I do!"
<Priestess-Justina> Then I Now Pronounce you Man and Wife!!!! *cheers!*
<Priestess-Justina> You may now give the Bride a Justice Kiss!
* Captain_Kelsey blows his nose and waves a fan. "Hurray! Congratulations!!"
<Lina> (<X> How about a kiss of death?!)
<Filia> *sweatdrop* Justice kiss...?
<Priestess-Justina> Just kiss her OK??
* Xelloss STARES. What the hell just happened?!
* Zelgadis-going-insane looks up and sees someone familiar wandering the street..
<Xelloss> Are you crazy, woman?!
<Zelgadis-going-insane> Is that... Amelia?? And look in that icecream shop! ^^;;;
<Priestess-Justina> Crazy for Justice! *smiles*
* Gourry waves at Amelia. "Hi Amelia! Are you lost too?"
* Lina is almost hidden behind the heap of empty ice cream dishes.
<Priestess-Justina> Now, don't you feel better that you're married. No more worrying..
<Xelloss> OK, that is IT. I'm OUT of here.
<Amelia> Hello Gourry-san! ^_^
* Priestess-Justina looks dangerous.
<Priestess-Justina> First you kiss your Bride!
<Amelia> Is Zelgadiss-san with you?
* Xelloss turns to leave, apparently bewildered enough to forget that he could have teleported out of there long before this.
* Zelgadis-going-insane sinks down in his seat.
<Zelgadis-going-insane> Um.. Hi Amelia...
<Gourry> Yes! Zel's right here!
* Filia glowers...grabs Xel by the collar and pulls him back to kiss him.
<Amelia> Oh good! I just had to avoid getting married to the best man...
* Amelia opens up the cab door and slips inside, drawing her veil over her face...
<Amelia> Gourry-san, you'll need to get Lina-san...
<Zelgadis> ... Um.. sorry we're late.... <trails off staring at Amelia>
* Xelloss goes wide-eyed and doesn't react in time to stop her.
* Priestess-Justina smiles. Ahhh... Another happy couple
<Amelia> It's alright, Zelgadiss-san...
<Lina> (<PJ> My work here is done... time to ride off into the sunset!)
<Gourry> Amelia! Put on your veil! Tradition!!
* Priestess-Justina strikes up the band with another mushy song that should put Xel out of commission for a bit.
* Xelloss blinks and then turns to look at the priestess. "Who are youc alling happy?! I PROTEST!"
<Xelloss> I.... .... ..I don't feel so good.
* Zelgadis sits nervously beside Amelia trying not to fidget. or stare too much at that dress..
* Filia puts on a thoughtful face "Must be the music...very cheerful, don't you think?"
* Xelloss takes on blueish toned blush and looks not too happy at all.
* Amelia sits demurely...
* Priestess-Justina claps for the couple.
<Priestess-Justina> So where will you two be spending your honeymoon?
* Xelloss glares at the priestess.
* Filia grabs a hold of one of Xel's arms "So, what now?" Evil mental grin..she would get to kill him later! Looks at the Priestess "I'm not sure..Xelloss?"
* Xelloss considers giving her a right-hook on the spot.
* Captain_Kelsey cheers, stands up and tosses rice at the couple. Though it pelts Xellos in the face accidentally. The Cap'n sweatdrops. "Arrgh. Sorry."
<Gourry> (To Amelia.) Is Lina ready for the wedding yet?
* Amelia looks nervous...
<Amelia> Lina-san's in the ice cream shop...
* Amelia points to the nearby ice cream shop.
<Amelia> You should go get her...
* Xelloss glares at Kelsey. Xelloss, noticing that none of the mushy and scary feeling and sounds are coming from Filia.. Somehow.. he's a little disappointed.
<Amelia> ( ::gives Jen a randomly chosed plushie:: )
<Xelloss> (*jen holds up Bo and his litter* hands are full.)
<Amelia> (Jen: KAWAII!!! ^_^ )
<Xelloss> (*gives ryo one of the wolf-cat-chibi-plushies* here, have one. they bite.)
* Priestess-Justina tosses rice over the couple
<Amelia> (Thank you, Jen! ::cuddles the plushie, which prrrs:: )
* Filia keeps a hold on his arm, tail twitching behind her. This DID work out...even if she was sort of sinning in a way by being with a mazoku, at least since she was married it wouldn't be SO bad...right? ^^; Feels a bunch of rice landing of her head.
<Gourry> I can't get her! Then I'll see her and that'll be bad luck! I don't want bad luck for my marriage!
<Xelloss> (*tosses silly little chibi plushies all around.*)
<Filia> (WAI!! *cuddles the ones she gets her hands on*)
<Amelia> Trust me, Gourry-san...it can't get any *worse*...
* Zelgadis peers towards Lina in the shop.
<Zelgadis> Gourry.... I think you'd better just get her...
* Xelloss fumes silently.
<Gourry> Um okay. *Gets out of the cab and goes to the ice cream shop and spots Lina.* Lina! What happened!!
* Xelloss fumes silently.. covered in rice.
* Xelloss decides that SOMEONE will have to pay for this BAD day.
<Filia> So Xelloss, where DO you want to go for the honeymoon? *more mental pondering about whether she was still sinning&
* Priestess-Justina continues beaming oblivious to her likely doom in the near future
* Captain_Kelsey tosses more rice and cheers while crying and smiling. "Arrgh! You make such a cute couple!!"
* Xelloss thinks. Bo is already grounded. Filia he can't punish... and he doesn't want to go into a debate on why since he has a feeling he'll embarrass himself. So, who?
<Priestess-Justina> I know of a lovely resort which caters especially to Justice Loving couples like yourselves!
* Lina picks up her half-finished ice cream and turns it upside down over Gourry's head.
<Lina> NOW you show up!
* Xelloss ponders Kelsey..
<Lina> You jellyfish! Giant blond gorilla! Stupidhead! Musclebound idiot!
<Xelloss> THIS is a bloody resort, lady.
* Filia smirks...Xelloss? Justice loving? And Lina had turned down fo---oh, wait..umm...
<Gourry> What did I do wrong?! What happened to your dress!?
<Lina> I changed my mind!
* Amelia gives the driver the correct directions...and makes sure that the driver follows them.
<Gourry> What! You can't change your mind!!
<Lina> Why not?
* Zelgadis digs his fingers into the taxi's seat... oh god oh god oh god...
<Gourry> Because... Because...You can't!!
<Lina> That's not a reason!
* Amelia gives Zelgadiss-san a gentle hug.
<Zelgadis> We.. we're really getting married aren't we? *looks weak*
<Amelia> ::softly:: Calm down, Zelgadiss-san...it'll be alright...
<Gourry> Then give me a reason why you can't marry me!
<Amelia> Yes, Zelgadiss-san...
<Lina> Because I don't know if I want to.
<Lina> Besides, I look like a mess!
* Priestess-Justina looks up and sees the cab arrive.
<Gourry> You don't know if you want to marry me...*Tearful puppy eyes.*
<Priestess-Justina> Oh!!! They've finally arrived!
<Lina> I thought I didn't... then I thought I did... now I don't know... and I can't get married looking like this!
* Priestess-Justina runs to the cab and opens the door.
<Priestess-Justina> Comeon! Your friends just got married, but that doesn't mean you can't too!
<Amelia> Hello, ma'am! I found my fiance...
<Lina> Maybe we shouldn't have rushed things... maybe we should have waited...
<Zelgadis> friends? but we left Lina and Gourry at the ice cream place...
* Amelia smiles happily, and pulls Zelgadiss-san out and with her...
<Amelia> We can find out just who just go married if we go in, Zelgadiss-san!
<Zelgadis> Which friends?
* Xelloss GLARES at everything.
<Priestess-Justina> Your Best man and Maid of Honor of course! *gestures at Xelloss and Filia, smiling at her work*
<Gourry> You don't know if you want to marry me...*Tearful puppy eyes and an occasional sniffing and really tearing up.*
<Amelia> Oh my...
* Amelia looks rather surprised...
* Zelgadis stares.
* Zelgadis facefaults
* Lina sits down beside Gourry and looks miserable...
* Xelloss looks at Zel and Amelia as if saying 'Oh yes, come on, just give me an EXCUSE to KILL something!'
<Amelia> Ma'am...can you marry Zelgadiss-san and me now?
* Filia sweatdrops, but keeps her grip of Xel's arm from before.
* Captain_Kelsey sniffs and dabs at his eye. "It was a lovely ceremony! Arrgh."
* Zelgadis picks himself off the ground.
<Zelgadis> ... You??? You two got married??
<Lina> I... hey! Don't cry!
<Amelia> Zelgadiss-san...it's time for us to get married now...
* Zelgadis hadn't expected THAT, even With all the things he had imagined might go wrong
* Xelloss stands arms folded and sulking. "I'm an innocent hostage."
<Zelgadis> Xelloss?? Xelloss is married???
<Lina> (Xelloss... innocent...)
* Amelia sighs...
<Lina> (Processing)
<Lina> (Will not compute. GPF.)
* Filia glares at Xelloss "You? Innocent?"
* Zelgadis stares.
<Amelia> Congratulations, Xelloss-san, Filia-san! I hope your marriage is a happy one!
<Zelgadis> B-b-b-but...
* Xelloss points at Justina. "IT MADE me do it/this!"
<Gourry> But Lina why? Don't you want to marry me?
<Lina> I don't know. I thought I did...
<Priestess-Justina> 'It'?? You'll thank me tomorrow!
<Zelgadis> He's a mazoku!!!
<Amelia> ::to the priestess:: My fiance and I need to get married...
<Filia> So you DON'T like being married to me?! *glare*
<Xelloss> Exactly! *agrees with Zel that this is completely haywire*
* Priestess-Justina blinks
<Priestess-Justina> Mazoku??
<Amelia> ::to Zelgadiss-san:: So? Can't a mazoku fall in love?
<Lina> But what if I find out later that I don't LIKE being married to you?
<Gourry> But now you don't know!*Sinks into a uncharacteristic funk.*
* Amelia nods yes to the priestess...
<Lina> We rushed into this way too fast.
<Priestess-Justina> I just married a mazoku??? I mean this lady married a mazoku? Um. I married this lady to a mazoku???
<Gourry> You're scared that you'll get bored of me?!!
<Xelloss> Yes, Mazoku!
<Amelia> A mazoku who had proposed to her this morning...
* Xelloss points dramatically at Justina. "That is SO unjust of you to, lady!"
<Priestess-Justina> Why didn't you tell me you were a mazoku!! How unjust of you to deceive me!
* Xelloss topples. "I DID NO SUCH THING! I just ASKED her a question!"
<Amelia> Ma'am, he's received his just punishment for that.
<Lina> Yes... I mean no... I mean maybe. If it was a mistake, then we'd BOTH be miserable!
* Zelgadis just stares in shock.
<Filia> You only asked if I would marry you, and I said I would, and I did.
<Xelloss> *back at Justina* How unjust of YOU not to CHEK just WHAT you marry!
<Captain_Kelsey> Arrgh! Well you can't do back and change it! Congratulations! *Tosses rice.*
* Priestess-Justina shrugs.
<Priestess-Justina> Oh well. I'm sure you two will make a new happy life together anyway! *tosses more rice*
* Xelloss GLARES at Kelsey. OK, that was IT. He was wriggling his way OUT of this.
<Xelloss> This is some joke..
<Gourry> I wouldn't get bored of you. But then again you might get bored of me...
<Filia> Unlike you, I don't joke about marriage!
<Priestess-Justina> I've made history here! The first time ever for a mazoku to be married in the name of Love and Justice and I got to be a part of it all *glows happily*
<Lina> Gourry, don't you dare cry!
<Amelia> Ma'am? Could you please marry my fiance and me now?
* Xelloss glares at Filia.
<Priestess-Justina> Alright! Now it's your turn!
* Priestess-Justina grabs Zelgadis and Amelia and drags them up to the altar.
* Xelloss fumes some more. That was just enough.. this day sucked.
<Priestess-Justina> So.. You ARE the right couple aren't you?
<Amelia> Yes, ma'am! ^_^
* Gourry sniffles. "Why not?"
<Xelloss> Oh, so NOW she checks!
<Zelgadis> Uh.... Uhh.... *looks at Amelia* yeah..
* Filia glares at Xel, tail waving behind her (in plain sight ^^) "We're married. Deal with it."
<Priestess-Justina> We Gather here to Wed these Two for All eternity with the bonds of True Love and Justice (blah blah blah)
* Xelloss gives Filia loooow look. "Who said I COULD marry."
<Lina> Boys aren't supposed to cry! Except when I make them beg for mercy.
<Gourry> I'm not getting married. I thought I would make a good husband.
<Filia> You just did!
<Amelia> (BTW, Dalore thinks we're scary. ^_^ )
<Filia> (LOL! ^^;)
<Priestess-Justina> (I told Dralore about this, and invited her to be a guest! She was too scared)
* Xelloss folds arms again. "I did no such thing, why won't you listen?!"
<Lina> Welll, maybe I'd be a rotten wife! What if THAT?
<Xelloss> You are ALL bewitched by this 'marriage' craze I tell you. Completely gone in the head.
<Gourry> I think you'll make a great wife! Why else would I ask you to marry me?
<Priestess-Justina> Do You, (checks her names list) Zelgadis take this woman to be your wife In True Love and Justice?
* Zelgadis stands stunned till the priestess pokes him.
<Lina> But I don't want to make dinners and wash dishes and change diapers! I wanna go places and do things!
<Zelgadis> *gulp* I ... do..
* Filia twitches "NANI?! What do you mean 'gone in the head'?!" Turns her head "Should have known a MAZOKU couldn't tie himself down to one person, even if he does take the vows!"
<Xelloss> Completely gone. Mad. Screwed. Haywire.
* Amelia smiles happily under her veil...
<Priestess-Justina> Do You, Amelia take this man to be your Husband In True Love and Justice?
<Amelia> I do.
* Xelloss stops and looks at Filia in a blank expression.
* Filia crosses her arms, tail twitching annoyed.
* Gourry scratches his head. "Wifes are supposed to do that stuff?"
<Priestess-Justina> I Now pronounce you Man and Wife, Allies of Justice for all eternity! Kiss the bride!
<Lina> Yes! And I don't want to! And what if I never want to have children, huh? What then?
* Zelgadis stares... he was married....
<Priestess-Justina> Come on! Everyone is waiting for your Kiss of Justice!
<Amelia> Zelgadiss-san...you're supposed to lift my veil and kiss me now...
* Gourry kinda confused. "Then we don't have any?"
* Xelloss slowly turn his face into a snarl. "Filia. I am by creation and vows bound beyond eternity to a creature already."
* Priestess-Justina hits Zel on the back to push him forward and injures her hand "owwwww!"
<Lina> But don't you want to? Don't you like big families?
<Xelloss> (<X> HAAHAHAH, serves you right you pushy woman!)
* Zelgadis blinks. gulps and lifts Amelia's veil.
<Amelia> (It's a good thing Zelas and Dynast weren't crashing the wedding.)
<Filia> (just a thought...wondering if Zelas would be mad that Xel didn't invite her to his wedding ^^; LOL)
* Amelia looks up expectantly at her husband...
<Xelloss> (<Zelas> Pple don't invite me, i COME.)
<Gourry> Well I don't know. All I want to do now is marry you but you don't want to marry me.
<Zelgadis> You... you look beautiful...
<Zelgadis> !mush
* L-sama sighs and sweeps up the remains of another poor sapometer.
<Amelia> (I mean, can't you just *see* what Xel's expression would have been if Zelas and Dynast were cheering him too?)
* Amelia blushes.
<Filia> (yes ^^; just thinking of a good reply)
* Zelgadis leans forward and pulls Amelia to him and kisses her!
<Lina> I DO want to marry you! But I don't wanna end up miserable because I did!
* Amelia blinks in surprise, and then starts to kiss Zelgadiss-san back.
<Xelloss> (yes, I could. he would be shocked. and relieved. that meant that his love for Filia was either 1) nothing illegal, or 2) part of his master's plan.. which makes it perfectly correct and nothing to worry about.)
* Zelgadis demonstrates that he actually DOES know how to kiss... He just has to make his brain function well enough to remember.
<Gourry> If you love me and want to marry me then why would you be miserable?
<Lina> Getting married is a big step! It shouldn't be rushed.
<Lina> I only said let's do it today 'cause I wanted Nagha to keep her hands off you.
* Filia looks back "I know that baka!" Tail twitches "I'm not asking you for your life or anything like that!" Mentally adds 'Although the whole 'killing' part still seems like a good idea..' "Besides, marriage is different from devotion from creation you know!" (@_@; bah..)
* Xelloss throws a glance at Zel and Ame without showing much excitement.
<Gourry> So you did it just to keep another woman from getting me? You never wanted to marry me for me?
* Priestess-Justina beams most happily at another job well done... Now to track down the ones that escaped...
<Lina> No, I didn't say that... ARGH!
* Lina is so confused she feels like her head's going to explode.
<Amelia> ( <snicker> Go priestess!)
* Xelloss looks back at Filia. "Yes, that is what you are asking. For being all romantically crazed up over these things you pple sure don't seem to know what you are doing."
* Xelloss throws out his arms with a strained grin. "WELL, good thing I am a priest then. Plus a dark one at that. Can't marry. There, now I am out of this circus."
* Priestess-Justina goes to check on her first couple.
* Xelloss starts walking towards the exit hands in pockets once again and with determined strides.
* Gourry sighs. "It's okay Lina. I guess I can return the tux and... miss my own wedding... You don't have to marry me..." He sounds very disappointed.
<Priestess-Justina> Who says a priest can't marry??? But I'm married!!!
<Lina> Gourry! Are you even listening to me! Here I'm trying to bare my soul and you're just feeling sorry for yourself!
* Xelloss doesn't even turn around. "I say it. Your marriage is entirely YOUR problem."
* Zelgadis kisses Amelia till she seems in need of a breath and then lets her go and stands blushing beside her.
* Filia glares at a speck of dust...Baka namagomi...
* Amelia is blushing herself, and smiling happily...
<Priestess-Justina> I'm happy with my marriage! But don't you dare try to use such an unjust excuse!
<Amelia> ::breathlessly:: I love you, Zelgadiss-san... ^_^
<Gourry> Why shouldn't I? You think you'll be miserable with marrying me!!
* Zelgadis blushes more and looks for a place to escape...
<Lina> That's not what I said! I want to marry you! I just don't want to do it and then find out I shouldn't have! I don't want anything to change!
* Xelloss mutters to himself... "Even IF I was wanted to do what those vows say.. I wouldn't need some stupid ceremony, tradition or even vows to do it. Gah.. I need something for this headache.."
<Filia> You were willing to marry Amelia-san..
<Priestess-Justina> Don't worry! You'll feel much better about all of this once you start your honeymoon! *smiles, quite familiar with how men work*
<Lina> (They were a bit premature about that, PJ...)
* Gourry is so depressed he doesn't notice Lina being half naked. "Maybe it's better this way. So many people did tell me I was crazy for trying to marry you."
* Zelgadis feels like he should say something, but not with all these people (there are probably about 7 now with Captain and Xel and Fil..) watching
* Xelloss stops short and turns around to face Justina, walks up to her and practically growls at her. "I need NO excuse to walk out on YOUR silly LITTLE traditions, woman. You have NO idea of what you are really asking. You are all MAD."
<Lina> I'm sorry.
* Gourry says without much enthusiasm. "So should we go to Zel and Amelia's wedding. Or should we go home so I can take off this tux?"
* Lina replies, also without enthusiasm. "We might as well go congratulate them."
* Lina feels horrible... Gourry probably hates her now...
<Lina> !angst
* L-sama comes in with a vacuum cleaner and vacuums up all the ANGST!
* Xelloss growls low as he turns to walk out again. "I may not know love very well but I know Hate.. and I am certain of it -I HATE this."
* Xelloss walks out of the temple and disappears.
* Zelgadis wants to reply to Amelia.... he's married to her.. He can do it!
* Lina gets up, brushes off the remains of her dress, and heads for the door...
* Filia glares after "Fine. Fine!" Whirls around "Stupid mazoku...I don't see why I bothered." Tail twitches.
<Zelgadis> I ... I love you too....
* Lina and Gourry enter the temple
* Gourry shuffles to the door. "Well let's go. It's a shame we'll have to return our wedding cake and other stuff. Hope the lady at the candle shop accepts returns."
<Priestess-Justina> Oh look!! See! I knew you'd come back!
* Amelia smiles happily at Zelgadiss-san and kisses him on the lips.
<Priestess-Justina> Is this your groom! Come along! Wow three weddings in one day! This is so exciting!
<Amelia> ( <Candle Lady> No returns. )
<Lina> But... wait a minute...
* Priestess-Justina grabs then and drags them up to the altar beside Zel and Amelia
<Gourry> No. Lina changed her mind and doesn't want to marry me. She thinks she'll be miserable later if she does.
<Lina> Hey, Lady!
* Filia sits down, tail twitching more so as she thinks.
* Zelgadis blushes
<Lina> I need time to think about this!
<Priestess-Justina> You've had time! You've been gone a good half an hour!
<Lina> That's not enough time to think about something like marriage!
* Amelia ignores Lina-san and Gourry-san completely...kissing Zelgadiss-san is *fun*!
* Zelgadis hears something going on and has a feeling he and Amelia may want to find a better spot to kiss
<Priestess-Justina> We Gather here to Wed these Two for All eternity with the bonds of True Love and Justice (blah blah blah)
<Lina> But... but...
<Priestess-Justina> <to Lina> You'll be fine! Stop worrying!
* Gourry mopes. He wanted to get marry. What is he going to do now? He was having already problem controlling himself. Things between him and Lina were already too changed. How could they go back?
<Priestess-Justina> Do You, Gourry, take this woman to be your Wife In True Love and Justice?
<Gourry> Of course I do! She on the other hand doesn't want to marry me.
<Lina> Wait! I can't get married! I'm a mess!
<Priestess-Justina> Good. ANd sure she does! She's just nervous.. You look fine dear *blinks her nearsighted eyes*
<Lina> Brides are supposed to look beautiful!
<Lina> Gourry, you don't want to marry somebody who looks like this, do you?
<Gourry> Well... yes?
<Priestess-Justina> Do You, Lina, take this man to be your Husband In True Love and Justice?
* Priestess-Justina gets ready to toe Lina if needed
<Lina> How can you!?
* Amelia smiles cheerfully internally, hearing her father among the guests... ^_^
<Priestess-Justina> You're supposed to say "I Do" dear
<Lina> Whatever. *goes back to waiting for Gourry's answer*
* Zelgadis moves himself and Amelia out of the range of the fireball he suspects might be coming
<Lina> Well? How can you want to marry me when I look this bad?
<Gourry> Well half the time you are covered with chicken grease or ashes or with those scary fangs and with weird expressions... but the other time you look nice!
* Priestess-Justina decides thaw whatever=close enough to Yes.
<Priestess-Justina> I Now pronounce you Man and Wife, Allies of Justice for all eternity! Give the Bride a Justice Kiss!!
<Gourry> And ... well you do look kinda sexy all half naked and with your clothes in tatters...
* Lina realizes what just happened. "What?!"
* Gourry looks up. " What? We're married?"
* Lina repeats the question, to Gourry. "WHAT?!"
<Priestess-Justina> Congratulations! *throws rice*
<Lina> Hey! Wait a minute...
* Zelgadis smiles ironically at the couple.
<Zelgadis> Have fun on your honeymoon Lina!
<Lina> But... but...
* Zelgadis suddenly remembers that he's married too and looks a little weak.
* Gourry shrugs then perks up. "Okay! We're married!" Grabs her and gives her a _deep_, _long_, kiss.
<Amelia> Congratulations, Lina-san and Gourry-san! ^_^
* Priestess-Justina beams proudly. Now THIS had been a GOOD day!!
* Amelia hugs her own husband happily...
<Priestess-Justina> (LOL. this was fun!)
* Filia calls from her seat "Congratulations!"
