Neal and Kel rode down the steep and rocky roads until they reached
Steadfast. Neal looked extremely concerned. They stopped to talk.
"Neal, I can always tell when something is bothering you." Said Kel.
He paused, "No.I can't tell you now.you already have stuff on your mind to
worry you." they set off again, feeling even more worried than the previous
time.
When they arrived later on, Neal was looking frantic. "Where is she? There?
Right tell her.no I'll do it.wait Kel.I love.no, what am I saying? I love
Yuki.Right.where the heck is she? There? I see!" Kel went for a walk and
started to currycomb Hoshi when she saw Dom coming towards her.
"Hi! How's old Meathead then? Still getting married to the Yamani lady?"
Kel laughed at Neal's nickname. "Well, I think he's nervous.dunno really."
Dom laughed teasingly. "Well I'd be having second thoughts too if I went
riding with you!" Kel frowned. "He loves Yuki, not me!" she said, though
his words made sense.
"Me?" she wondered aloud, but she dismissed the thought and walked back to
the hall where the ceremony was to take place.
When the couple kissed, though it was brief, she felt a pang of loss.
"Go Meathead!"
called a voice behind her, and she turned to see Dom grinning up at the
uncomfortable Neal. "Hush!" said Kel, and she put a finger to Dom's mouth.
He looked at her fondly and she blushed.
When she looked back at Neal he looked hurt and disappointed.
That's when the first clue was revealed.
