This is set during the period of time when Kel is a squire.

Lord of the Dance

They all hated her. She knew it. Kel was frustrated. All those eyes were on her, probably imagining her being eaten by wild boars or something. It wasn't really her fault. Neal had done it. She was just in the way of everyone's hopes.

She finally decided that two could play at this staring game. She stared daggers at Neal. He just stared back. "Humph" snorted Kel in anger.

Like most middle/high school dance socials went, the boys stuck to one side of the ballroom and the girls – girl – stuck to the other. She didn't even like dances, Kel thought angrily. There were about 45 to 50 boys on the wall opposite to her. She looked on either side of her, hoping that a miracle had happened. But no. No lovely ladies were there. Just like the last 18 times Kel had checked.

It wasn't my fault, she thought.

…"Which is why I propose a squire/page dance." Said Neal.

"Uh ha…. And when do you suppose to have this ...dance." said Lord Wyldon, skeptically.

"Tomorrow."

Kel shook her head. Neal had met yet another young lady whom he wished to woo. This dance was all part of his elaborate scheme to get the poor woman in to bed.

"Tomorrow eh? Well I don't see why not. Squires and Pages only of course."

"Of course. Oh and the court ladies."

"Now wait just a minute! That was never part of our agreement. We have a lady-squire here, You don't need court ladies."

Neal was speechless.

"Go… have your dance."

"Um… Sir…. I don't really want to go…" Kel was interrupted.

"Not go? You will do as I say! I and I say you will go!"

The group of squires left his office glumly.

************************************************************************

Yesss….all Neal's fault….Kel's thoughts were interrupted by a strange sight. Cleon was walking toward her.

"may I have this dance?" he said grinning like a fox.

"Oh fine! I don't care! Can you dance me to the door?" was the reply.

They went onto the floor, dancing.

Slowly….Very slowly, couples started to join them. Boys went onto the floor, hand in hand. It was a fast song, but soon it turned into a slow one. It was a beautiful sight. Pages' head's upon squires' chest's. everyone was getting very close.

The song sped up. Then the rubbing began…. Pelvises were banging together. The boys and young men were humping the floor and each other…Kel was backing slowly toward the door watching in horror. She thought Cleon was behind her… but Cleon's little soldier couldn't keep itself contained he ran and jumped on top of Neal.

"YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!" he cried.

Kel was frightened. She ran to the door. But Lord Wyldon was there blocking her way.

He didn't seem to see her. He gave an evil laugh.

"Mwahahahahahaahaahaaaahahaahahha!!!!! Excelent! EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he screamed.
