Disclaimer: This story is purely for fun, and to keep the people from the Xena and Ares shippers club from going crazy, I get no profit from this story. The characters ECT. As well as the story idea belongs to me. The characters Xena, Gabrielle, Eli, Joxer, and Ares ECT. Do not belong to me, and I am just borrowing them. No copy write infringement intended. Please do not use this story on your web site, web page ECT. Without first asking me and receiving my permission, you may however use this story for private use, but must use it with all disclaimers. If you would like to send this story to a friend, please ask me first, and receive my permission, and you must not get any profit from the transaction. I get no profit from this story in anyway, so please don't sue me!!

Authors note: Wow that was a pretty long disclaimer wasn't it?? I hope I got everything in though; I don't want anybody to take this story the wrong way! If the idea of Xena and Ares in love, of them having any past relationship, or if Gabrielle and Xena being 'just friends' is not the type of story you want to read, please go someplace else. This story is some sort of weird.... THING! Don't even ask! And boy oh boy is this thing SHORT, and MILD! Takes place before Eli died, and before Xena got pregnant. Probably back in season 4.

Dedications: This story is for me (because I'm just so sick of Xena being so darn nice!), for Barb, Kat, Illy, G.O.M, Noie, Liz, SR, Tareena, Tali, Eris, GA, Everyone I missed, and for everyone at the shippers club for their support, and for liking my stories, even when I didn't!

Warnings: ABSOLUTELY NONE!!

Rated: G

Now for the story!!!!! *Everyone claps, glad to be rid of the disclaimers*





Form Gabrielle's View
By Delenn




In my heart I know certain things:

I know that Xena loves me as a friend.
I know that Joxer is in love with me.
I know that I love Joxer and Xena as friends.
I know that if I couldn't be a bard I would die.
I know that Perdicas was my first love, but her wasn't my true love.
I know that Eli is my true love, and I his.
I know that someday Joxer will find somebody that is truly in love with him.
I know that Xena is in love with Ares.
I know that Hope was evil and had to die.
I know that Xena hasn't truly gotten over Solan's death.
I know that part of her never will, because she DIDN'T kill me.
I know that's not her fault, it's just how she is.
I know that everyday I rip out a part of Joxer's heart.
I know that he knows that I don't mean to.
I know that the reason Callisto and Xena hate each other is because they see themselves in each other.
I know that every time Ares does something to Xena, her hear turns more to stone.
I know that Hercules loves Xena.
I know that Xena thinks of him as a friend only.
I know that Iolaus loved me.
I know that his true love is Nebula.
I know that Hercules will get over Xena, but he won't get over Morrigan.
I know that Eli has to do his thing and I have to do mine.
I know that he will come back to me.
I know that everyday my heart cons it's self into believing more lies.
Joxer's heart dies a little more.
Xena's heart turns a little more to stone.
That she builds more walls.
I know that I can't change any of this.
I pity the goddess Aphrodite! She has her work cut out for her.
I'm not as stupid as I look. I know a lot of things, in my heart.

The End


Author's Note: I personally HATE Gabrielle, and feel that she is extremely stupid, so I have no clue as to where this came from. I also apologize if I wrote her in bad, like I said I don't like her, and I have never been inclined to write her a huge part before. The gods know where this story came from, but I sure as Tartarus don't!!!! Maybe it had something to do with Internet Withdrawal?
