“Mother! Father! Gourry!” Filia called. She opened up the gate wider so the two gentlemen could come in easily. One of the sliding door opened and out popped Mr. Gabrieve’s head.

“Ah!” He stood up quickly and got out of the main bedroom. “Now which one of you is Sylphiel’s brother?” Zel hesitantly stepped forward. “I am.”

He eyed him. “My, my. You and your sister sure don’t look a like.”

“Yeah. Zel boy here didn’t quite took after his sister.” Xelloss smirked.

Zel blushed and gave him dirty look. “Well I guess you could say that…” Zel trailed off, embarrassed.

Suddenly another door slide opened and a kind-faced woman came out. “Hello. I am Mrs. Gabrieve. Welcome. Now are you boys hungry?”

“I am!!” A voice boomed from behind. “When’s dinner?” Zel and Xelloss turned around and took a long look at a blond haired man in front of them. This particular man was dressed up like a gangster, but had a face of an innocent child. Zel and Xelloss gave each other a look. Both had the same thoughts going on right now. What kind of gangster is this?? A wannabe gangster??

“Oh don’t mind my older brother, Gourry. He’s always hungry,” said Filia.

“Well. Would you two boys like to freshen up before dinner?” Mrs. Gabrieve kindly asked.

They nodded. Mr. Gabrieve then showed them where their room was and where the bathroom and etc was.

“Oh yeah. Mom, Dad. I forgot.” Gourry chimed in. “Valgaav is coming for dinner. Is that ok?”

All three Gabrieves groaned. “Why do you always tell us at the last minute son?” His father just rubbed his temples.

Xelloss sweatdropped. “This must happen a lot.”

Filia nodded. “Yeah. It does.”

“Well, we’ll get ready for dinner.” Zel yanked Xelloss and the two of them went to their room.

“Well I do declare, we got some nice inmates,” Mrs. Gabrieve remarked.

“Yeah…” Filia stared after them.

Zel threw his bag and sat down on the floor, while Xelloss sat down in a swivel chair. Both surveyed their room. It was small, but big enough for two of them. There was a small closet for their clothes. There was a small desk in front of Xelloss, with an old computer. Next to the desk were piles of yot (1), blankets, and pillows for them to sleep with. The wallpaper was just plain and cream colored. There was a small window where they could open for fresh air. In one corner there was a small table where one could do their work there, while the other could use the desk. Also on the desk, was a telephone. It had a cozy atomosphere.

Xelloss stretched his arms and leaned back in the swivel chair. “Not bad eh Zel?”

Zel nodded and looked at him. “Yep. All nice and cozy. I’m surprised they put a computer in here. Must know that we are going to need it later on.”

“Yep. By the way. What you think of that Filia chick? Seems pretty hot.”

Zel blushed. “Yeah. She seems interesting.”

Xelloss smirked and raised and eyebrow. “My, my. Seems like Zelly boy here already has a crush on her?”

“Ah shut up!” Zel blushed even rosier and stared off to a wall. “Beside look who’s talking. You checked her out too.”

Now it was Xelloss’ turn to blush. “Yeah. She’s cool. You can have her man! I’m going for some other chicks!”

Zel rolled his eyes. “The ladies’ man strikes again huh?”

“Of course!” Xelloss smirked lazily and stretched again. “Come on. Let’s get ready for dinner. I’m sure we are going to eat in the main room.”

“Yeah. Let’s unpack first.” Zel got up and started to unpack. He carefully took out his shirts and put them in the closet.

“Zel-man. I could never live without you. You are my best friend.”

Zel turned around from the closet. “I agree. Best friend forever right?”

“Right.”

“Right. Now no more chit-chat. Let’s get going.” Zel smacked him in the head and Xelloss got up too.

Dinner with the Gabrieves and Valgaav was pretty interesting. Filia, Valgaav and her parents ate normally. Gourry on the other hand…ate very fast and ate a lot. Both Zelgadiss and Xelloss had huge sweatdrops all throughout dinner. They watched Gourry stuffed himself with food. Too stupefied themselves, they didn’t eat much. Gourry one time just stopped for a second to ask them if they were going to finished their rice. They shook their heads and Gourry took it. During that time, they found out that Gourry was actually quite kind and all, but dense.

Valgaav amazed them too. The young aqua-haired man had a stony expression, but they learned that he was really not bad at all. Although…he dressed like a gangster. He had on a stylish, rugged leather jacket, with loose-fitting black jeans. He stared at Filia a lot but never actually said anything to her. They learned that he was the leader of Gourry’s gang. Although his gangs didn’t do anything bad, Gourry’s parents didn’t approve of him. His gangs only steal from the snobby rich people. They would never harm the poor and average people.

Filia’s dad was a loving father to his children. He treated Xelloss and Zelgadiss as his own too. He asked them a lot of questions. Questions such as what they were going to study in college and what they planned to do later in the life. Filia’s mom was very sweet to them. Although they learned that she was stubborn as a horse though at some things. Like when Filia asked if she could work at this one company, but her mom was adamant about it. She always asked them to see if they had enough to eat. Like her husband, she treated them like they were her own sons.

After dinner Filia told them to wake up at 7 tomorrow, so they could get to the campus together. All three were going to the same college. All three were going to Donguk Dae Hakkyo (2). She bade them goodnight, and they went to their separate rooms.

After closing the door behind them, Zelgadiss wearily spread out the yot and got ready for bed. “Man it has been a long day. I’m already zonked out.”

Xelloss yawned. “Yeah…” he got cut off by someone knocking on their door.

“Come in,” both replied.

Mr. Gabrieve’s head popped in. “I heard that you two needed a job. Now mind if I make a recommendation?”

They both sat up quickly. “We don’t mind. We actually appreciate it.” Zel answered politely.

“Well I have a friend that has a company not far from here. He needs couple of strong workers to help him assist with their building projects. Interested?”

“Yeah!”

“Ok. The man’s name is Bak Be O. Here’s the address of his company. If interested call this number.” He handed them a piece of paper that had the address and the phone number. “The bottom one is his home phone. Give him a call later.”

“Thank you!” They thanked him and he said that he was glad to have them aboard. He then left the room.

“Wow! These people are nice! They are willing to help us. Come on Zel. Call his home phone!”

“Alright! Don’t be so impatient!” Zel chuckled and reached for the phone on the desk. He dialed the number and waited for him to pick up. Surprise came to him, when he heard a female voice on the phone.

“Hello?” the voice said.

“Um. Hi. Is the Beo’s house?” Zel stammered.

“Yes. Hang on a minute.” There was noises in the background as she gave the phone to Beo.

A gruff voice answered. “Hello?”

“Um. Hi…Mr. Bak? This is Zelgadiss Graywords. My friend and I got the job information from Mr. Gabrieve. And we are calling because we are interested.”

“Ah yes. I remember now. Yes so you are interested?”

“Yes sir. We are both strong workers. We’d be glad to help you out.”

“Ok. I’ll need to do some interview with you two. Could you two come to my office tomorrow at about noon?”

Zel did some mental thinking in his head. Their morning classes were ended at about 11, so they had plenty of time to get over there. “Yes sir. We’ll be there. Thank you and Good night.”

“Good night.” They hung up.

Zel turned to Xelloss. “We go there tomorrow at noon.”

Xelloss raised his fist up in the air. “Alright!”

“Our first job! What luck we got!” Zel then remembered that he was very exhausted and decided to go to bed. “Man I’m tired. Let’s sleep early and be refreshed for tomorrow.”

“Deal. Night.”

“Night.”
