SLAM !!! went the door of Marchina's bedroom. Unfortunately Zangulus was right in front of the door when Marchina slammed it and Zangulus crashed right down to a table. A table consists of Gourry and Zelgadiss.

"Having trouble with Marchina again, eh ?" Gourry uttered as he shoved a steak down his mouth. Zangulus stood up heavily, pulled up a chair, and sat with them.

"What do you think ?" Zangulus answered sarcastically. "She asked my opinion on her decorations in the bedroom.. I said, honey, I think the previous look was better.. and she slammed the door right in my face !!! Why did she ask for my opinion in the first place, anyway ??!!" Zangulus shouted. "Anyway.. I hate pink!!" Zelgadiss shook his head as he sipped his coffee. "Women...." Zangulus muttered. The other two nodded agreeably.

"Women..." Gourry sighed.

"Hey, Gourry . What really happened between you and Lina yesterday? Zelgadiss asked curiously.

"She asked me if she looked different.. !" Gourry answered exasperatedly. "I said , no.. nothing's different about you..And then she shouted that I didn't notice that she had lost 2 pounds! And for that she threw me out of the room !!" Gourry waved his hands in the air. "What was I supposed to say?!! I mean, come on... 2 pounds is not that noticeable !"

"Oh.. that's why you slept outside last night?"

"YES !!!"

"Women..."

"And why did you joined me straight after Lina threw me out ???" Gourry asked Zelgadiss back. Zelgadiss put down his coffee before he stood up.

"Okay.. I was sitting.. minding my own business.. when Amelia came in. She asked me, is there something different about her. I looked at her, and I said no. Suddenly, she shouted angrily that I didn't even notice her new shade of lip-gloss. LIP GLOSS ??!!" Zelgadiss blurt out. "For heaven's sake ! It looked the same to me !!"

"Man.. this sucks.."

"And I guess I'll be joining you and Zelgadiss in the kitchen tonight..." Zangulus sighed.

"Who ever said sleeping in this rented house in the woods would be romantic.... Man.. are we damn wrong.." Gourry said.

"How true.. how true..." sighed a voice. They turned and saw Xelloss standing behind them.

"Oh.. you were thrown out too?" Zelgadiss asked.

"What else.." Xelloss replied.

"What did Filia do to you?" Gourry asked as he pulled up a chair for Xelloss. Xelloss sat down heavily.

"When I went into our room, she set up this huge table with candlelight dinner and all," Xelloss began while everyone nodded. "I was like, oh, hey cool! I'm hungry.. so I ate and ate and then I wanted to go to bed. Suddenly she just blew up. I said, what?! And she said, How could you forget!! I was like, Forget what ? She screamed and said that I have forgotten the 4 months anniversary of our 3rd meeting. Hello ?? What was that about ?!! So what if I have a bad memory !! And she hit me with her mace then threw me out !!!" Xelloss exclaimed.

"Bah.. women..." the four of them muttered.

"Life wouldn't be so difficult without them.." Gourry complained.

"Who cares about a lip gloss anyway ?" Zelgadiss muttered.

"Why did she asked my opinion if she doesn't want it..." Zangulus sighed.

"Women..." Xelloss grumbled.

"Can't seemed to make up their mind.."

"Fickle..."

"Too sensitive.."

"Offended too easily..."

"Women...." They all sighed.

And in Marchina's room....

"And..then..he said... I think the previous look was better !!" Marchina bawled. "I mean.. doesn't he care what my new decoration looks like?!!" Filia patted her back while supplying her with more tissues.

"Ugh... I thought that only comes from Gourry.." Lina muttered.

"Why did you kicked him out last night, Lina ?" Amelia asked.

"Lina ! You've lost 2 pounds!!" Filia exclaimed suddenly.

"That's the problem with Gourry ! He didn't notice a thing !!!!" Lina said, mad.

"Men.." Marchina bawled again.

"It figures... I mean.. at least you guys notice my new Lip gloss.." Amelia said. "He said it looked the same!! How unobservant can you get?!" Amelia rolled her eyes.

"I agree.. Plum is totally a different color then Juicy Berry," Lina shook her head. "I think Plum looks better on Amelia,"

"See?! Women can notice these things.. why can't men?!!" Amelia pointed out.

"I threw him out of the room like Lina did,"

"I'll say.. you know what Xelloss did?" Filia began. The others creep closer to listen. "I prepared a nice, romantic dinner yesterday for our 4 months anniversary of our first meeting. He came in and eat and all and said nothing on the anniversary. I thought he was going to surprise me or something but then suddenly he announced that he was going to bed?!! I asked him , what about our anniversary? He said, What anniversary? And I kicked him out, not before I hit him with my mace," Filia told the gang.

"Oh, Filia..." Amelia shook her head.

"That's so sad.." Marchina bawled even louder.

"There.. there.. " Lina comforted Marchina.

"Insensitive beings.. "

"Jerks.."

"Hey... move a bit to the left.." Zangulus ordered.

"I can't! If I move an inch more I'll be falling down the bed .." Zelgadiss muttered.

"I don't think 4 people sharing a bed is appropriate... " Zelgadiss mumbled as he turns. Luckily.. somehow there was a bed in the kitchen, which Gourry had spent, in the previous night. Now.. the 4 of them are.. well.. trying as much as possible to be comfortable, while sharing a bed and a blanket.

"It was much better with only me on this bed.." Gourry said. "Why can't some of you sleep on the floor ?" Gourry suggested.

"And freeze ? No thank you," Zangulus replied. "The kitchen floor is as cool as ice!"

"Xelloss.. stop hogging the blanket !!" Zelgadiss warned as he pulled his part of the blanket.

"Well.. isn't this nice.... The four of us in our own Slumber Party..." Xelloss piped in. "Maybe we ought to do this every time...."

"Oh, Shut Up !"
