Rezo: Silver dragon to minor demon 3. I believe that's check mate. So long Shaburanigdo.

Xellos: Not so fast, look again.

The silver dragon piece melts into a little green puddle.

Rezo: That's cheating!

Xellos: Is not, you just landed on my booby trap.

Rezo: I've been around long enough to know that there no booby traps in this game.

Xellos: For all you know, I could've invented this game.

Rezo: Oh in that case... (Rezo snaps his fingers and the Shaburanigdo figurine bursts into flames) ...Oh! would you look at that. A completely random temporal flare. Must be my lucky day. Better luck next time Xel.

Xellos: Hey, that's not playing fair.

As the priests argue over the lesser known rules of chess, a giant fish lands on their table (somehow woven very neatly out of palm fronds-I wonder who did that anyway?) with a very wet and squishy sounding "WUMP" , smashing it to little pieces.

Zelgadis: What was that noise?

He and Gourrigan rush from their hut to see the two priests knocked on their asses and one very flat looking fish.

Zelgadis: Oh. It's just a fish.

Gourrigan: Are you two alright?

Rezo: Fine.

Xellos: Fine.

Filia walks up to the group gathered around the fish.

Filia: Sorry about that. I caught a big fish, but it kinda squirmed as I was bringing it back.

Rezo: Be more careful, you could've killed us.

Xellos: (doing a Zha Zha Gibor impression) Speak for yourself dahrling. I'm much too powerful to be killed by the likes of a dead fish.

Rezo: Fruit.

Zangulus and Martina come running out of their hut. Lina, Sylphiel, and Amelia come running into the camp from the forest.

Zangulus: What the hell was that?

Lina: (Staring at the fish with those big watery eyes) You... you really found something to eat besides coconuts? Filia, I love you!! (she throws her arms around Filia)

Zelgadis: Geez...get a grip.

Gourrigan: (in his little "you're not going to like this, but please don't hit me again voice") Um Lina.

Lina: What is it Gourrigan?

Gourrigan: Well... We cant eat this fish.

Lina: WHAT?!? ( she is instantly standing over a very stunned and prone Gourrigan with a fist cocked and ready to go off)

Xellos: He's right, we don’t have any butter sauce.

Rezo: It just wouldn't be civilized.

Lina: That's about enough from the peanut gallery. Now Gourrigan, tell me why can't we eat this fish?

Gourrigan: Well because my uncle Cody once caught a fish like this one. It was cooked up just before his last birthday party as a special treat.

Lina: So WHY can't we eat this fish?

Gourrigan: Well, you see, his last birthday was six years ago. After a couple of bites he went rigid, fell over, and died. Or did he die, then fall over, then go rigid. Whatever the case the fish did him in. The rest of the guests had the roast ham. I think that was the first birthday/funeral party since that time cousin Vince had that nasty accident with the ribbon on his present, which, might I add was a very nice bow and arrow set.

Zelgadis: Why hasn't anyone shut him up yet?

Amelia: Looks like it's back to coconuts.

Lina: NOOOoooo!!!! I don't wanna eat another coconut.

Gourrigan: Give her some time alone.

Sylphiel: Has anyone seen Naga, she's been gone for a couple days now.

Xellos: Really? I hadn't noticed that.

Gourrigan: Has she been missing?

Rezo: So that's why it's been so peaceful.

Amelia: You're all so heartless.

Sylphiel: I saw some birds twitching around on the ground today on the north side of the island.

Rezo: Her laugh seems to have that effect on small animals.

Lina: I bet she found something and is hiding it from us, that little sneak.

Amelia: We should go look for her.

Xellos: Why bother. The longer she's gone, the better.

Filia: Don't listen to that Mazoku slime Amelia, I'll help you look for her.

Gourrigan: maybe she found some food.

Lina: FOOD! What are we waiting for, let's go find her!

Zangulus: We'll stay here and hold down the fort. I need to sharpen my sword anyway.

Martina: Ooo, that sounds like fun.

They retreat to their hut.

Lina: Hey you coming or not?

Rezo: No thank you. You just run along and play now.

Lina: alright gang, let's move out.

Xellos: Have fun storming the castle.

Rezo: Why did you just say that?

Xellos: That's a secret.

-On the north side of the island-

Gourrigan: Hey, Lina. There's a cave behind the bushes here.

Lina: Well let's get exploring then, shall we?

Zelgadis: It could be a trap.

Amelia: I'm scared. (She clutches onto Zelgadis' arm.) There could be a monster in there.

Zelgadis: (shaking Amelia off his arm) This is a deserted Island, if there was a monster here we would have spotted it before now.

Filia: Just like we spotted this, eh Zelgadis?

Zelgadis: Spotted what exactly.

Gourrigan: It's a mini-mall.

Sylphiel: The Blue Fox Convenience Mall?

Bluefox: That is correct. This is my convenience mall complete with snack bars and a food court.

Lina: SNACK BARS! FOOD COURT!! I'm there.

Gourrigan: Not before me.

Amelia: It's even got a health spa. No wonder Naga never came back.

Filia: Let's go find her.

Bluefox: Ahh a man after my own tastes you are. I love that shade of blue. What do you call it?

Zelgadis: A curse.

Bluefox: Acurse Blue. Hmmm, I shall have to try that. Do you like my convenience mall?

Zelgadis: How do you call this convenient

Bluefox: It's convenient that it was here, no?

Zelgadis: I guess, but why is your mall inside a cliff face where no one can see it?

Bluefox: Cause, if the government can't find you, then you don't have to pay taxes. I still seem to get a lot of customers anyway.

Zelgadis: How does that work?

Bluefox: Word of mouth, I expect. I carry everything anybody ever wanted. I find word eventually gets around.

Zelgadis: What's this thing?

Bluefox: That's an Infinite Improbability Drive, make three if I'm not mistaken. Go ahead, give it a try. You just set the improbability to whatever you want, than hit the big red button.

Zelgadis sets the drive to an improbability factor of 2,453,732,650.7 to 1 against and hits the button. The world seems to expand past the boundaries of space and shrink to the size of an atom. Zelgadis is laying on a soft mattress holding a very naked princess Amelia tightly against his stony blue self. He is also liking it.

Zelgadis: NOOOoooo!!! Make it stop, make it stop!

Reality snaps back like a wet towel.

Zel awakens to find Bluefox over him.

Bluefox: You O.K. there buddy?

Zelgadis: I think that was quite possibly the scariest thing I've ever seen. (Shudders) How about hiding that thing. I would hate to see what would happen if Lina ever got her hands on something like that.

Bluefox: Sure thing, just say my name if you need anything. *disappears*

Bluefox: Sylphiel. If I'm not mistaken.

Sylphiel: How do you know my name?

Bluefox: That's easy. It's because I'm writing today’s script. How are your friends doing, are you finding everything to your satisfaction?

Sylphiel: Yes, quite. Lina and Gourrigan are REALLY enjoying the food. I think the others are in the spa. How much for this thing?

Bluefox: Aah, the holy handgrenade of Antioch. For you, that will be only $10.

Sylphiel: That seems overly reasonable. I'll take it.

Bluefox: An excellent choice.

Sylphiel: Excuse me, Mr. fox, if you're writing the script today, then what is the QOS doing.

Bluefox: She is on a vacation of sorts, I think.

Sylphiel: Um, what exactly is the plot today?

Bluefox: No plot really, just seeing what happens.

Sylphiel: Well that doesn't seem like a very good explanation for those guys in the black formalwear over there.

Bluefox: Eeek, the IRS. Gotta go. *disappears along with the entire mall*

Lina: AAAah. My food, It's all gone. What happened?

Sylphiel: Those guys scared off that Mr. Fox guy and apparently he took his mall with him.

Naga: WHAT happened to my spa?

Amelia: Who are they?

IRS Agent: Where is Bluefox, we know he is here.

Zelgadis: You just missed him, I think.

IRS Agent: Can it blue boy. Aiding and abetting. You're all under arrest.

Gourrigan: Hey, I never slept with him!

Zelgadis: Blueboy?

Lina: My food!

Naga: My spa!!

Lina: My food!!!

Zelgadis: RAW TILT

Lina: DRAGON SLAVE

Naga: DEMONA CRYSTAL

Sylphiel: What the heck. 1 2 5. (Hurls the hand grenade)

Filia: What are you guys do...

FWOOOMMMWAABOOMMMSHIKISHIKISHARRRrrrrr (the best sound effect I have for what just happened)

-At the Camp-

Xellos: Taking up sculpting, have they?

Rezo: I've never seen that much destruction frozen in place like that before. It must be a good mile high at the least.

Xellos: We could charge people to see this type of stuff.

Zangulus: What was that, an earthquake, volcano? WHAT THE?

Rezo: That'll be $10.

Zangulus: Here you go, this is worth it.
