> Lina sang this last part feeling her voice echo
throughout the enclosed

earphones to the applaud of
> Filia, her blonde

head off to the 10.2 Radio
> Station quickly for your interview! We're gonna
be late, if we don't
> hurry." Lina let herself be dragged out of the
room.
>
> Singing was her life.
>
> She sung all day, all night, all the time. Not
that she didn't have

with a long record of cd's

> Running, Give A Reason, Just be Conscious... and
a heap more! She had a

unending groups of fans to

> 'Which reminds me,' she thought. 'I better get my
sunglasses out. If this

> Lina stopped suddenly as they reached the front
door. "Filia! I left my bag

me in the car." Without
> waiting for a
> reply she ran into an opening elevator.
>
> "Sure...go ahead." Filia sighed to no one.
> ----------
>
> "THERE YOU ARE!" Lina stomped towards the pale
blue bag, who was silently
> sitting on the sofa. She picked it up, and flung
it over her shoulder.
> Stepping into
> the dark, empty hallway of the building, she
glanced at her watch who told
> her she was going to be late. She hurried out,
struggling a bit in her too
> tight pants.
> Suddenly, soft music flooded the hall and Lina
stopped. 'Must be another
> singer...' she mused to herself. 'BUT I'm late.
No time to-"
>
> The thought flew from her mind as she heard a
low, tenor voice begin to

the music seep into her.

> 'oh lord...' Lina thought. 'Only an angel could
have such a sweet voice.'
> She walked towards the room where the sound was
coming from; the music
> showing her
> the way. She came to a door, and she opened it.
She entered the vocal
> adapting room and saw Syphiel; one of her own
voice mixers.
>
> "Hello, Miss Inverse!" Syphiel smiled, fetching a
chair for Lina. "What are
> you doing in here?"
>
> Lina pointed at the glass window, through where a
chimera was singing the
> song. "Who is he, Syphiel?"
>
> "Hm? Oh, that's Zelgadiss Graywords. He's a lowly
singer here, but he's
> finally getting his first single out this month."
>
> "Lowly singer? How long has he been singing?"
>
> Syphiel thought a while; her lips frowning
slightly. "I'd say... about...
> two and a half years."
>
> "Two and a half years?! How come I've never heard
of him before?!"
>
> "shh...They have to mix his voice. Well, he's a
lowly singer as I earlier
> said."
>
> "But with his voice, you don't even have to mix
it..."
>
> "LINA!" The said redhead whirled round to see a
very angry Filia.
>
> "Oh... Filia... I, um..." Lina stuttered.
>
> "I've been searching for you for AGES! Now we ARE
late! Come on! Let's go
> right now! I've already called them up to delay
the interview, so hurry
> up!"
>
> "But..."
>
> But Filia would have none of it. She grabbed Lina
by the hand, and dragged
> her out the door. Syphiel sympathetically looked
after Lina and Filia,
> smiling lightly.
> She turned back to watch Zelgadiss finish his
song.

> "Where are we going? The exit is that way!"
>
> Filia rolled her eyes. "You don't know HOW MANY
people there are out there.
> We're going out the back door. The car's gonna be
waiting for us there."
>
> Sure enough, the white Mercedes stood outside
ready to go. Filia
> practically threw Lina inside, and slammed the
door.
>
> "Ouch! Filia, you don't have to be so uptight..."
>
> "Gourry! Get a move on! We're supposed to be
there in exactly seven
> minutes! And Lina. I told you we were late, and
STILL you were dawdling

>
> Lina smiled apologetically.
>
> "GOURRY! Why aren't we moving?!"
>
> "Red light?" he answered meekly.
>
> "Filia?"
>
> "What!?"
>
> "Hush... you're 'spazzing' (author's note; a term
i used a lot as a

celebrities out there,
> don't you?"
>
> Filia shrugged. "I suppose s-GOURRY! The light is
green now!"
>
> "Filia! Listen to me!"
>
> Her manager sighed. "Yes, I'm listening, Lina."
>
> "Do you know someone called Zelgadis Graywords?"
>
> "...Never heard of him. Why? Who is he?"
>
> "You sure? He's a singer with a very nice voice."
>
> "You're a singer with a very nice voice."
>
> "He's a chimera."
>
> "The world is full of chimeras, not to mention
mazoku and dragons. Look, I
> haven't heard of him. Why? Where'd you see him?"
>
> "... Filia. I want you to go and find out
anything you can about him, and
> if he's interested in singing with me. Okay?"
>
> "But..."
>
> "Please, Filia. Just do as I say."
>
> "...Fine. But I'm warning you, it's not a good
thing if he's a chimera."
>
> "Why?"
>
> "Well. He's not a human."
>
> "So?" Lina asked stubbornly. "Neither are you.
You're a dragon."
>
> "At least I can change into human form. Look,
even if you aren't prejudiced
> against them, half the world is."
>
> "Personally, I wouldn't care if the WHOLE world
was."
