Xellos was content with himself for that little scene that he had just pulled in the middle of town. Even if Xellos left right that minute and didn't ever come back people would still be asking Filia about her 'fiancé' Xellos. So Xellos was pretty much sure that he had finally succeeded in breaking Filia's cool. Or that was what he was thinking when Filia was dragging back towards her home and away from the town square. Xellos couldn't see Filia's face to confirm what he thought, but he didn't feel he needed to.
De Tanga himself was a little worried for Xellos' safety. After Xellos doing what he did De Tanga was certain that Filia had good reason to want to at least bash his head in. De Tanga was even afraid to say anything to her telepathically. I can't believe that Xellos even did that.
But what was Filia thinking in all this? Well one would expect her to be brimming with angry and about ready to do brutal and inhuman things to Xellos once she was a far enough distance from the town and close enough to her home. But she wasn't brimming with anger. She seemed a bit please if even. But then she was also evilly smiling and had a strange glint in her eyes, so maybe she was still planning on to.
Finally they came back to Filia's home, and Xellos smiled his normal smile only when Filia turned to face him he was surprised to see her not annoyed or angry at all. She wasn't smiling but she didn't look ready to beat the living crap out of him.
Filia? De Tanga dared to asked. But Filia chose not to answer.
"Well I guess this date was okay, even though it got a bit messed up at the end. But oh it's not like this was a real date anyway." Filia said with a contented smile while brushing off some invisible lint off her dress.
"Not a real date?" Xellos looked at with a neutral expression, or at least it appeared that way.
"Oh you see in a few days from now I am going to go on this big date with this dreamy guy only I hadn't been on a date in ages. And since you came around at such a convent time I decided get in a little bit of a practice date before I go on that big date." Filia didn't look him in the eye and instead went searching through her purse for her keys.
"A practice date?" Xellos again tried to speak in a neutral tone only this time he failed in keeping quite so neutral.
"Yes a practice date. I was a bit nervous about my big date coming up but I figured that if I could stand through a date with Xellos the Trickster Priest then I shouldn't have much trouble." She finally found her keys and fished them out of her purse.
"And with whom may I ask?" Okay now Xellos was still smiling only now his right eye was twitching a bit at the corner.
"Oh no one you know. But he's just about the most wonderful guy in the world. Anyway Xellos thanks for the practice run. Good night!" Filia with a smile waved and went inside leaving Xellos alone at her doorstep. He was in shock and there was evidence of something else on his face too. It almost looked like anger, but that wasn't exactly it.
De Tanga on the other hand was laughing his ass off. The look on Xellos' face was priceless! That Filia is a genius! De Tanga gave a few more chuckles at the stunned and unmoving Xellos before teleporting into Filia's home.
Filia where are you?
I'm in the kitchen.
Mind if join you?
Go right ahead.
De Tanga teleported into Filia's kitchen to find Filia who was almost close to laughing hysterically.
"A practice date?" De Tanga looked at with a sly smile. Now Filia was laughing.
"I don't know where I came up with the idea. It just popped into my head as I was dragging him over here."
"But Filia what would you have don if you hadn't thought of that idea?" Filia stood there thinking for a moment. "You know honestly I have no idea what I would have done. Part of me wanted to bash his brains out, and another part of me wanted to act like I absolutely loved the date just to bug him. Only I think this idea was better. But there's one problem with this..." Filia trailed off.
"You don't really have a big date planned in a few days."
"That's right. Um De Tanga would you um...?" Filia looked up to De Tanga with a little smile.
"Go on a fake date with you and pretend to be the guy you described to Xellos?" He looked at with a crooked smile and a raised eyebrow.
"Um yeah."
"Well I did say that I knew a great place to take you to dinner. So I guess I'll do just that." De Tanga said with a laugh. He was definitely going to enjoy doing this.
"But would you be able to disguise yourself so that Xellos wont have an idea who you are?"
"Yup I can change my appearance and make it seem like I'm a regular human or any other mortal you wish me to impersonate. But tell me what do you want your dream date guy to look like?" De Tanga said turning around so that Filia could get a good look at him.
"Well you are going to have to change from being a monster into something else. I guess making you human would be a good idea. And let's see your hair should be a blackish color and short rather then your longish blue green hair. And I think we should make your eyes purple. Oh we'll need to have to change your outfit too. Plus how about we make you a bit taller."
De Tanga grinned at her. "Easy done." De Tanga changed his form to a rather hansom man with purple eyes, short dark hair and clad in a black and white outfit that just screamed noble. Not only was he taller and he looked human too he also looked like a completely different person in the face. "So how's this?" De Tanga said in a confident voice. Filia didn't answer him because not only was she shocked about the total transformation, but his voice was also different too!
"That is perfect! Oh I just can't wait to see the look on Xellos' face when he sees me with you like this! But what day should we do this fake date?"
"How about two days from now? That way we could have Xellos sweat for a little while before the date even starts."
"Great then it's settled. So what will we be doing on this little date?" De Tanga gave her a sly smile. "Now, now I want that to be a surprise. So then I shall see you then two days from now, let's say sevenish?"
"Okay then. But if you'd like to stop by before then to talk then go right ahead. Thanks De Tanga."
"No problem my fair lady, I shall be off now." De Tanga said with a smile and tipped an imaginary hat and teleported off.
