Chapter one: Dinner???

Marguerite and Roxton had just finished a successful trade with the Zanga. Roxton was carrying the salt and Marguerite had the new material stuffed in her pack.

*That woman will do any thing to get out of work * he smiled and was lost in contemplation. He wasn't aware of Marguerite talking to him.

*He isn't even listening to me* she runs up in front of him and stops facing him.

"What's with the goofy grin," she said as she touched his shoulder. This apparently startled him.

"Oh… erm…what?"

"I said why do you have that goofy grin?"

"Nothing, just thinking."

"About what?"

"Nothing that concerns you" Actually it had everything to do with her but he'd never admit that.

"Fine but when are we going to eat? I'm starving."

"When we get to the treehouse do you think you can survive that long"

"I suppose as long as I don't have to cook."

When they get to the treehouse…

"I don't smell food."

"Don't worry Marguerite, if no ones here I'll fix something."

"Anybody Home?" Marguerite yells startling Roxton. "No ones home, better put your apron on John."

"Every chef needs an assistant."

"Sorry, I have to put this material up." She turns on her heel and goes to put up the new material. Roxton began to search the cabinets. He searched them one by one and found nothing except some spices and two oranges. He set the oranges out and went to find Marguerite.

He found her in her room sitting on her bed taking the braid out of her hair.

"What is it? I thought you were cooking." She said without turn towards him.

"Well I would be cooking but there's nothing to cook."

"Nothing" she said turning towards him.

"Just two oranges and some spices."

"I guess you'll have to go hunting"

"Don't think your getting out of this Marguerite you're coming too."

"But I'm not the mighty hunter now am I?"

"No, but you still have to help."

"Fine." She said finishing taking her hair out of the braid.
