A/N: Hiya! This story right her is the first fan fiction I ever wrote. I actually wrote it sometime last year and I only rediscovered it on my computer recently. I don't know if it makes much sense. Please let me know what you think anyway.

April's Wish

"Let's just rest right here," Christopher dropped to the grass when we reached a small clearing.

"Sounds good to me," Jalil joined him on the ground.

"We should keep going while it's still light," David insisted.

We'd lost Senna again for what seemed like the hundredth time. David's just worried about her, its not the spell this time. It's genuine concern.

"Come on, man, we're really tired and by the look of it so are you."

"Christopher's right. You look like you're going to fall asleep any minute," I sat down on the soft inviting grass next to Christopher and patted the grass on the other side of me. "You need the rest."

To emphasise my point he yawned and rubbed his eyes.

"Ok, you win," he sat beside me, an awkward thing to do when in possession of a sword.

"You taking first watch, David?" Jalil asked him.

"I guess so."

"Not this time. Even leaders need to sleep. I'll take first watch," I said.

"But April-" David began.

"I'm not that tired anyway. Staying awake isn't that hard, even a useless girl like me can do it."

"You're not useless," Jalil yawned.

"Yeah you're a good perve," Christopher mumbled, he was half asleep already.

"Wake me up in 2 hours or whatever. And thanks April."

"I'll wake you when I feel like it. And you're welcome David."

It took less than a minute for them to fall asleep. They were exhausted. It isn't fair that Senna's dragging us around this god-forsaken hellhole. Well, more accurately she drags David and in turn he drags us. We don't have to follow him but he's the closest thing we have to a leader. I guess can't blame him for following Senna though.

I know Jalil and Christopher have doubts about whether Senna actually released David from her spell. When I look at David and I know the spell is gone. Maybe it's female intuition, I'm not really sure. But I do know David loves Senna. Real love. It's magic from the real world not Everworld. He loved her before all this happened. Senna knew this and she used it against him. She used his love for her like a tool, like it was nothing. He deserves better.

David wouldn't admit his true feelings to us though. He's the leader so of course he's not supposed to have any emotional weaknesses. Like we'd think less of him for having a perfectly normal human feeling. He may not be the perfect leader but he hasn't gotten any of us killed yet so I think he's doing a fine job.

Sometimes I like to think he's my knight in shining armour, like maybe he'll carry me away from this place. He does protect me when he can and I know he cares about me. The question is why does he care about me? Does he just see me as a friend? Or does he have romantic feelings towards me? He's a good-looking guy.

Could I be attracted to David? I couldn't, could I?

Maybe I was hallucinating but I did sense something. We'd had a few moments where we just look at each other and imagine what could happen between us. The most notable of these being that night in Senna's room then again in Galahad's castle. Like I said before, maybe I'm hallucinating.

I know I'm jumping ahead of myself. There is still a slight problem with Senna being stuck in David's every thought.

Oh well. There's always Jalil and Christopher. Hmmm…Jalil? We have an ok relationship I guess. Despite his lack of faith I respect Jalil. It just confuses me though, he's not the most sentimental guy yet he still cares about me.

God knows he doesn't show that much compassion towards David and Christopher. Is there more to it though? Is he only concerned for me because he sees me as a sister? Am I just the hapless solitary (non-witch) female who Jalil feels is his duty to watch over? Could he possibly have serious intimate feelings for me?

Way too many questions for me to comprehend all at once. And my feelings towards him just leave more unanswered questions for me to figure out. Jalil and I? Could it work?

I sighed deeply. Darkness had quickly filled our small clearing. The humid day had become a cold unforgiving night. The air was sharp and icy in my lungs. I drew my knees up to my chin in an attempt to trap some much needed body warmth.

"It's so cold," I barely recognised my own voice through my chattering teeth.

I couldn't complain that much because I knew the guys were suffering as well. It wouldn't be fair. I could easily play the part of the whiny chick who's never satisfied. Kind of like Senna. Yeah, yeah it would be so simple to shake my ass and show some cleavage. I would gain complete control of them. I couldn't do that to them. Not to my boys.

That's right, they're my boys. My protectors, my friends. Mine, not Senna's. Mine. Of course Jalil was never hers like David was. Jalil is seemingly untouched by her spells. She lost control of Christopher early on.

I glanced at each of them. They surrounded me. Christopher to my right, David on my left and Jalil curled up at my feet. Christopher rolled over and mumbled something unknown in his sleep.

I smiled to myself. Christopher. Another of my everworld boys. My relationship with him is just as complicated as the others.

At least I know Christopher is somewhat attracted to me. Does it go any deeper? That I don't know. He flirts with me quite a lot. I flirt back sometimes, not that any of them notice. Ignorant boys.

Unlike Jalil I like to think I have Christopher all figured out. I did once. But I guess you could say he's reformed. He's lost me again. The boy never ceases to surprise me.

I think the whole situation with Ganymede really woke him up. It's definitely change him for the better though. He still flirts with me and teases me, that hasn't changed. My mother always told me that if a boy picked on me then he had a crush on me. I doubt that. Christopher can get quite a few girls back in the real world. Why would he need me?

He's our everworld comedian. I love him for that. He can make us laugh and momentarily forget we're stuck here until further notice. If it weren't for him we'd all have gone insane ages ago. David's need to prove himself and Jalil's need to make sense of everything would have driven me mad. Christopher can ease the tension with a joke at someone's expense. After all we've been through he still manages to make me laugh.

At times he can be cute and annoying all at once. I guess he is good looking, big, blonde surfie type. Nice smile too, it's kind of cheeky.

"It's so confusing," I mumbled in frustration.

I couldn't stand being around them any longer. I stood up and walked a few feet from them. A cold breeze blew my hair in about five directions at once. I folded my arms across my chest and gazed up at the stars.

They sure as hell weren't our familiar stars from home. I couldn't tell by looking at them, I've never been much of an astronomer. But I could just feel it. It's like an empty feeling.

Suddenly what looked like a shooting star arced across the night sky. As far away from home as I made a wish. They don't even come true in the real world, why would I expect to be any different here.

What did I wish for? More like who did I wish for. You see there is one of my everworld boys that I have feelings for. It may just be a harmless crush but I'll never find out if I don't give it a try…right?

It feels weird though. It seems wrong to feel like this while we're trapped in everworld. Maybe it's not even possible to have a real relationship in this God-forsaken place. I think Senna and David are a good example of this.

Say something does develop from these feelings, won't it be unfair to the other two. I mean they're trying to stay alive while we're acting like Romeo and Juliet all the time.

That brings me to the next question. If I have a boyfriend in everworld do I automatically have one back home?

I felt like my head was going to explode from so many questions left unanswered. I guess there was a way to find out…

"April?"

I turned around at the sound of the voice. Just as I though. It was him.

Now or never, April…

A/N: Yes that's the end unfortunately! That's all I wrote! Who do you think it should be anyway? I have my own ideas…I guess I could be persuaded to continue by lots of nice reviews! Lol.
