A/N: okay I'm tired of writing crappy sad fics so I'm gonna write happy fic now. Oh yeah, I wrote this other story, It's not TP or a fic, It's not done yet, but I'll e-mail you it as I go along I write some almost every other day, it's about a princess who has to get married on her next birthday to some guy she doesn't know so she runs away, she meets a guy, and one day she hears some bad news that sends her back home. If you wanna read it e-mail me. Topazski@yahoo.com I know the ages are probably wrong but I couldn't figure them out! Review!

Daine sighed and turned over in her sleep, she had dreamed of Numair again. She stretched and opened her eyes. It was almost dawn and it was time to go help the new trainees. She dressed quickly and bid the three cats, dog, and four raccoons that had spent the night with her goodbye. Just as she got finished tucking in her shirt she heard Sarge bellowing at the new boys. Even though she was 20 now she still slept under the boys' barracks. Numair stayed in another room, as he preferred "not to be woken by the blaring voice of that man". Daine smiled and went to the stables.
It's about time. Cloud huffed, please groom me now.
"Yes your Highness," Daine said to the mare sarcastically, "Would you like me to carry you to the pastures, or perhaps pick the grass from your feed?"
That sounds nice, you don't have to carry me though, I would like a nice trot, Cloud told Daine. Daine snorted and chose no to answer such a silly pony. She brushed cloud and fed her before leading her to the field. The trainees would be picking their mounts today. Strong arms wrapped around Daine.
"Good morning, Daine, did you enjoy your wake by bellow?" the tall mage asked. Daine turned to face him.
"For you information, Master Numair Salmalin, I woke before that, unlike some sleepy heads," she reached up on tiptoes to kiss him, she was still to short so he reached down. Daine smiled and glanced over Numair's shoulder. The soon to be squires Keladry of Mindelan and Nealan of Queenscove sat on the fence watching them.
"Hi Daine," Neal called jumping off the fence, Kel followed, they were both smiling mischievously," Nice show," Kel giggled. Daine snorted.
"I'm glad to know you enjoyed it," Numair said raising an eyebrow." Why are you two here? Shouldn't you be… doing whatever it is that children do over the summer."
"We came to help," Kel explained, " We need the exercise, right Neal?" Kel elbowed him in the ribs.
"I am in perfect heath and need no exercise," Neal held his head high.
"Oh yeah, I'll race you," Kel suggested," Whoever wins is right, okay?" Neal nodded again." One, two, three!" Kel took off leaving and out of shape Neal far behind. Daine laughed and Numair just shook his head. Kel one of course and they trotted back with Neal a bright shade of red.
"I take it back, Keladry of Mindelan, I might need some work," Neal admitted formally. Kel just rolled her eyes, and as quick as lightning she tickled Neal, Neal laughed." Stop!" He managed to choke out between laughs, but Kel didn't let up. Finally Neal caught Kel's hands and delivered a payback tickling. They look good together, Daine found herself thinking. She shook her head and turned her attention to the new trainees that were coming out to pick their mounts. Kel and Neal did the same.
