Lina and Zelgadis went downstairs to go meet everyone and eat but no one was there yet.
"Damnit how early am I?" Lina glanced around till she saw the clock in the corner. By it's time it was 7:30. Lina gaped at the time. "Why the hell am I up so early! I went to bed late too!" She grumbled with her head hitting the table.
Zelgadis knew exactly why she had woken up so early, it was his fault. His influences on the dreamscape made everything unstable and the dream was ended abruptly. I would tell her if I could, but maybe it's better that I can't. Zelgadis chuckled and gave her a light pat on the back that she did feel.
"I bet it's your fault." Lina brought her head up to glare in Zelgadis' general direction.
"Whoes fault Miss?" The waitress asked Lina while standing at her table.
"Oh nothing! (nervous laughter) I'm ready to order I want this, this, this..." Lina started listing while Zelgadis just blanked out and stopped listening. Only a minute had passed and when Zelgadis looked back at Lina she had already finished eating and everyone else was there and had finished eating.
Now that didn't just happen in a minute did it? No it didn't. I really must have phased out there... Zelgadis found that unsettling. That so much time could go by without him noticing.
"... so that's what happen." Lina finished explaining. Everyone minus Lina and Zelgadis sweatdropped. "What?!" Lina demanded.
"You talk too much as always..." Gourry stated and received a plate smashed over his head for the trouble.
"Say Miss Lina... how did Zelgadis get into your dream anyway?" Xellos looked over at her with an eye half open.
"Eeep! I don't know! He didn't tell me!" Of course Lina had left out some details when she told them about what happened. Like for instances how she woke up. So at this moment everyone was looking at her while both she and Zelgadis were blushing a million shades of red.
"Hmm.... I wonder why wonder why..." Xellos grinned mischievously. "Oh and how did you wake up again?"
Lina was now blushing brighter then she had ever before in her life. And she was only rivaled by Zelgadis.
"Ah that doesn't matter right now! We should head over to the library right now!" Lina said with nervous laughter while rubbing the back of her neck. She rushed out the door before anyone could say anything.
Mr. Hender was looking through a book when Lina came breezing in while everyone else came in behind her.
"Oh hello Miss Lina -- "
"I have to tell you something! I saw Zelgadis in my dream!"
"Hmm... that's interesting. But how is you dreaming about Mister Zelgadis a help?"
Lina frowned. "No I wasn't dreaming about Zelgadis! He was in my dream. I saw him after I woke up and I could both see and feel him."
Mr. Hender gasped in surprise. "You were able to do that?! What happened after that? Oh and how did he end up in your dream anyway?" Both Lina and Zelgadis facefaulted.
"N-n-nevermind that! I was able to see and feel him but I couldn't hear him. And it wasn't until I looked up at his face that he disappeared again."
Mr. Hender thought quietly for a few moments. That did sound familiar to him. "Did anything else happen after that?"
"Yeah I got up and on my hand I got this weird tingly hot and cold sensation on my hand. I asked Zelgadis if that was him and he fingered out the word yes on my hand."
"Okay then let's conduct a little test. First of all Mister Zelgadis I want to you touch Lina's arm."
Zelgadis looked at the librarian confused but did what he was told. And both Lina and Zelgadis felt the same sensation.
"Did you feel anything Miss Lina?"
"Yes I did on my left arm."
"Alright now Mister Zelgadis I want to touch Miss Amelia's arm." Zelgadis now saw his logic and complied. He felt the strange sensations again only this time Amelia herself didn't feel them. "Miss Amelia did you feel anything?"
Amelia frowned looking her disappointed. "No I didn't."
"Ah yes that sounds right..." Mr. Hender mumbled to himself as he went looking over to some of the new books that he had acquired on his recent trip for the library. Since he had been busy ever since he got back he hadn't had the time to pull the books out of the box yet.
"What sounds right?!" Lina said in a very dangerous tone.
"You were the only person whose dream he entered right?"
"Yes. Your point?"
"Well basically since he was in your dream you're the only one who can feel him. Oh and Mister Zelgadis, I would advice you to enter Miss Lina's dream again tonight, because I'm certain that it will have more positive effects." Mr. Hender went back to the books and was having trouble finding the books he wanted and just ended up dumping the whole box. He picked up five books and placed them on the table. He started looking through them while everyone watched him with interest.
"Mr. Hender? Do you know of a way to help Mister Zelgadis?"
"That depends on something. Miss Lina in the dream was there anything weird that happened in it?" Mr. Hender didn't even look up to Lina when he asked his question. He was glued to the books he was looking through leafing through them very quickly.
"Well the dream was normal. I was in a soft green meadow and sitting under a tree. Um then I saw Zelgadis and he was human -- "
"What did he look like?!" Amelia pounced on Lina with that question interrupting her.
"Um same height, human skin, light lavender hair that was still in the same hairstyle, eyes still the same and his ears weren't pointed."
"Wow I wish I could have seen him." Amelia went all starry-eyed with hearts and stars surrounding her. Everyone sprouted sweatdrops except Zelgadis himself was shuddering.
"Well that's nice. Miss Lina could you please continue?" Mr. Hender said ignoring the little scene that had just occurred.
"Okay I saw Zel and he and I talked a bit. Then something else happen only I'm having trouble remember what it was..." Lina rubbed her head trying to remember. In fact Zelgadis himself was having trouble trying to remember. But then it hit him.
"Lina the dreamscape collapsing!" Zelgadis said to her but then he remembered that she couldn't hear him. So he fingered the word 'boom' on Lina's arm.
"Huh? Boom? What's that got to do with anything Zelgadis? Oh yeah now I remember! There were explosions and stuff in the dream. Zel said it was because of his minds influence in the dream. Because his memory is going on him it was affecting his mind."
"Yes that sounds right. Once he completely looses his memory his spirit will die. Because his mind is all that's keeping him together right now. Once that goes he got nothing left to hold him together."
"And this helps in someway?" Lina prompts.
"Yes it does. I know the situation now."
"And?"
"I might have a way to cure him."
