Ok, I know the last chapter was abit boring, and uninteresting. It'll get better later on in the story. Right now thing are abit mild. I hope this next chapter is... better than the last. :/

Ch.2 Back at camp

Mist ran off to go help Oscar with the remaning of the cooking. Boyd went back to his room to go get ready, and get changed for lunch.

Ike, Gatrie, Shinon, Rolf, and Rhys were already in the lunch room. Eagerly awaiting for they're food to come. And Mia, she was well.. who knows where.

Shinon just happened to be walking up to Ike with a sly grin on his face. As uncharacterisic as it was for him to do something like that, he had a reason for it too. With the idea of messing with Ike that is.

"Hey there Ike... You know, I was just passing the through outside on the way here, and I couldn't halp but notice Boyd and Mist." He paused. "Alone." he empazised the word 'Alone' as much as he could.

Ike just turned his head to face him, and gave him a questioning look. Almost as if to say 'Why should it matter?'. Ike sighed and gave him the best reply he could.

"And?" Shinon was silent. He started panicing. 'Damn, he's not as over protective as I thought.' Shinon remarked to himself. Then he started up again.

"She looked like she was blushing..." That perked Ike's interest a bit, but still looked unamused.

"And you telling me this, why?" Ike asked calmly. If Shinon was trying to get on his bad side today, he was making happen. He knew if Boyd had any brains, he wouldn't dare touch her.

Shinon was faking a appualled look, and Ike just shot him back a cold, unwavering glance.

"Heh, really now. Who knows what they might be doing behind your back? And you couldn't care less to at least fine out what they..."

Just as Shinon started to end him statement, Mist came into the tent with the soup. She looked pissed as she headed over to Ike and Shinon. Ike looked up at him with a glare.

"Way to go..." Ike said sarcasticly. Mist slammed the pot down infront of where Ike sat. They both flinched.

"Just what are you two talking about?..." She suddenly had a furious look eched on her face. Ike just looked the other way, but Shinon confronted her.

"So, just what have you and Boyd been up to while everyone is away?" He just smirked at her. She looked as if he hit a nevre.

"What do you mean 'What have we been up too'?" She pointed an accusing finger towards him.

"Oh, you know what I mean..." He replyed casually.

"Listen Shinon. I don't know where you've been getting these ideas, but there is NOTHING between me and Boyd, got it?" She stated, most frustrated at the moment.

"It's OK. Your secret is safe with me." He replyed in a questionable tone.

With that, Shinon walked away. Leaving a dumbfounded Mist behind.

"Agh! What an idiot!" She yelled. Everyone just stopped what they were doing and stared at her. She looked back at them, ashamed for letting her temper get the best of her. Again.

"Um... oh... just great." She wispered to herself. Then scurryed away to start passing out bowls of soup. Acting as if nothing ever happened.

Boyd and Mia entered the tent, laughing it up. All smiles. Mist just looked up at them and frowned.

"Wha? Why is it Boyd is always such a jerk around me? Yet, whenever he's with Mia, he's always so sweet with her. It isn't fair!" Mist thought is a sarcastic way. "And on top of that, Shinon always has to be such a jerk to me. Always teasing me about all my problems. Not just about boyd, but everything!" She thought bitterly.

Rolf glanced over at Mist and frowned. He got up from his chair, went over to Mist to see what was up. She looked somewhat mad, then depressed on top of that. Rolf hated to see his friend looking so down.

Once he was by her, he tapped her lightly on the shoulder. Mist looked back, a bit suprised to see Rolf behind her. No mistaking the worryed look on his face.

"Mist, what's wrong?" He asked. It's all he could really get out.

Mist let out a long sigh and said, "Oh, alot. Nothing ever stops bothering me."

Then she turned around, just in time to see Mia flicking something at Ike. Boyd and her just dessolved into laughter. Ike just shot them both a glare.

"Seriously you two, what is up with your additudes?" Ike ask in a irritated tone.

Mist just let out a giggle, and told Ike, "Brother, lighten up, will ya? They were just messing with you. No harm done, huh?"

"Yeah man. You know we'd never intentionally mess with you. O' great and powerful Ike!" Boyd said and grinned.

"Oh sure, when you two are together, your always like this, but when you guys are alone, it's a different story." Ike stressed.

"Hey! Just what are you trying to say?" the green haired axesmen questioned the bluenette comander.

"The additude you two always have around each other. Always up to no good. This only started up when you two because friends, but I guess there's not much I can do."

With that, Ike turned away from the both of them. Ignoring any other smart remarks they had to say. Mia turned to Boyd.

"Well, it is sorta is fault we became friends. However, I think it's a good thing we met. After all, your the only person I can really talk too." she said. Then flashed him one of her imfamous, bright smiles.

Again, Boyd couldn't help but smile. She was really cute too. Always hyper and entergetic, and up for just about anything too. He almost felt the same way about Mia, as he did with Mist. What he felt? He knew he loved Mia as a friend, but there was something else. What? He had no idea. With that, Boyd pushed his wandering thoughts away.

"Heh, I guess thats a good thing..." He said as he rubbed the back of his neck.

Titania and Oscar joined everyone in the lunch room. Just as Titania started talking with Shinon, Mist came over to her looking upset. This caught Titania's attention. She turned to face a distressed Mist.

"Is there something wrong?" She asked Mist, with much care laced in her voice.

"Yes, there is... I need to get it off my mind. Do you think we could talk? It'd help alot..."

"Sure, but what's this all about?" Titania asked.

"Oh, umm... Well, you see... It's just that I... Ohhh..." Mist stopped and stared at the ground before replying again. "I don't want to say anything here. So I'll get to the point, "girl troubles".

Titania blushed. "Oh, well, then shall we?"

Titania led Mist out of the lunch room, and into hers. Mist wouldn't dare face her. She motioned for Mist to sit down on a chair she had in the corner of her room.

"So?" Titania started. 'What is it?"

"Ok. Well, to start off, Boyd has been acting rather strange as of lately." Said Mist, in a shy tone.

"Do you know why?"

"Well... I think it might be because of Mia, but I don't really wanna start blaming her for his actions."

"You know, Boyd might be acting like this around you and not even know at the same time..." Titania gave her a sympathetic smile. Mist just sighed. Nor Titania or Mist knew how to knew what to say after that. It stayed silent for a while till Titania spoke up again.

"Why dont you confront him about it? It'll make things much easyer... if you know why he might be acting this way."

Mist frowned. "Well, He's not the only thing I'm worryed about."

"Why's that?"

"Well, I'm sorta... umm, how should I put this."

Titania saw that Mist's hands started to tremble.

"Mist, whatever is it? You know you can tell me. I thought I told you this before. You know you can talk to me about whatevers bothering you..."

"Yeah, but it's just..." Mist paused. She could feel tears coming out of her eyes. "I don't know what you'll think of me after I tell you..." she said in a wisper.

Titania looked at her, as if questioning her. Mist was still sitting, but disided to take a stand. She hesitated though.

"Mist?..."

Mist stood up and made her way over to Titania. She sat down next to her. Then put her hands together, and turned her head to face the scarlet-haired Paladin.

"You see, about a month ago, something happened between me and Boyd. Not even Ike knows about it. You see, we..."

Ok, done. This is actually a pretty long chapter. There will be longer chapters in the future though. Anyways, I haven't thought out all the parings yet. BoydMist is a for sure thing.
