--Steadfast Blow Over--
The journey to Steadfast was long and boring. With Neal fidgeting about seeing Yuki, his betrothed after what, a year, and Tobe playing with the sparrows and Jump, Kel was left with nothing to do but sit and sit and sit on Hoshi the entire journey.
At last the fort came into view. It looked more like a fortress compared to New Hope. Neal could hardly stay in the saddle anymore. Tobe and Kel had to stay beside him so he didn't fall and break something.
Once they came to the gate they announced who they were and went on in. Immediately after they were enveloped in people. Or at least person.
"Kel, Sir Meathead! I'm so glad you're here!"
"Hi Dom, didn't get in too much trouble while we were gone did you?" Kel responded sarcastically.
"Haha very funny Kel. What's up with Neal?" Dom said with a concerned look coming across his face.
"Oh don't you know? Lady Yukimi," Neal's head popped up at the name of his betrothed. " is here waiting for him?" Kel finished with a smirk.
"Yeah I do now that I think of it," Dom said picking up on the joke. "I think she's waiting somewhere on the fourth floor in Headquarters."
Immediately Neal jumped off his horse without a second thought and ran towards headquarters. Kel and Dom cracked up laughing at the sight of Neal running all around camp looking for headquarters. Tobe tapped Kel on the arm.
"Lady, I think I should take Hoshi." Tobe said. He already had Neal's and his own horse.
"Thanks Tobe," Kel said while handing over Hoshi. "I don't think I feel quite in the mood to look after her at the moment. And with that she went off with Dom.
----------
Dom and Kel were sitting in the mess hall when Neal came in looking rather upset actually.
Neal pluncked down on the seat next to Kel and nearly gave Kel a heart atack.
"Neal, you scared me," Kel informed Neal while shoving her vegetables in her mouth.
"Sorry," Neal muttered through what seemed to be a numb mouth.
Imediately a concerned look came across her face. "Neal what's wrong?"
Neal glanced at Dom before saying, "I'll tell you later." Then he left the room without another word said.
----------
It will get better so review and give me ideas. What should be so secret that he won't say it in front of Dom? Review!
