Tnx to the creators of Xena warior princess. Lets make it clear that
I don't own any of the characters, but love them just the same.
Have fun with the story... and write me a review :-D

Chapter two

Gabrielle was on her knees. In front of her there layed a bunch of tweeks and she was using
some stones to try and make fire. It took her some time because it had rained the day before,
but finally the tweeks started to smoke and turned into fire in no time, with some of Gabrielles
help. When she had finished that she grabbed a pan out of her bag and placed the fresh
catched fish in it. She placed it on the fire and within minutes she could smell the fish. Right at
that moment, as she aspected, Xena rode into the camp. She took a deep breath. 'Hmmm that
smells lovely Gabrielle.' She said with her deep tone of voice. 'Forget it Xena!' The blond replied
agresive. She was still angry that she couldn't come to join the fight. 'Fetch your own fish and
fire.' Xena releashed Argo from his sadel while she secretly smilled. 'Come on. It was just a small
riot. You can't be mad at me because I didn't take you with me. It was nothing we don't see
every day!' Argo made his way to the river, to make sure he could get something to drink before
his mistress desided to ride of again. 'It's not that you didn't take me with you Xena.' Gabrielle
answerd. 'It's how you tread me. I'm not a child anymore!' Her voice raised at the last part.
Her friend knew that Gabrielle always was put down by her family, who really tried to patronise her.
'Gabrielle, we have had this discusion before.' She replied, knowing she was now at dangerous grounds.
'I know you are not a kid, and you know that you are the person i would choose to back me
up in a fight!' The blonde stared at the warior. 'It was a common fight Gabrielle. It was useless
for us both to be there.' The girl sniffed. 'So you think i'm useless?' Xena could hit herself in the head
right now. She came to sit by her friend. 'You know i don't think you're useless. I don't even know
what to do without you! I just wanted you to make camp while i dealded with those man.' She placed
her hand on the blondes knee. 'You could just ask...' The small girl whispered. She got up on her
feet and walked towards Argo. The horse sniffed as the girl started to brush her manes. Xena
watched her. Goddes, what was she going to do with this girl? She was so afraid to lose her or to
hurt her feelings. It really botherd Xena. She has never felt this way about anyone before, not
even for Marcus. And it was starting to get dangerouse. She was worried about Gabrielle getting hurt in
a fight ore even worse… Killed. She knew things would go ugly if that would ever happen. The world
would know the old Xena again, and she would be worse than ever before. The girl who triggered her
the last time she went crazy, she barely knew. She grow font of the slave girl who saved her life many times.
But she didn't knew her like she knows Gabrielle. It wasn't safe for her to be worried about another.
It wasn't safe to have to watch two backs instead of one. She knew all her thoughts where crazy thoughts.
Gabrielle was in fact capable enough to protect herself. She actually was one of the best fighters Xena knew.
No common tuck would be able to beat her. Xena was so caught up in her own thoughts she didn't notice the
man sneaking up on her. 'Xena!' She heard Gabrielle yell. The next thing she saw was the small girl running
with her staff pointing at her. The warriors blue eyes spur open and in a reflex she ducked. She heard a sick
making crack behind her and she saw Gabrielle doing a new trick she learned. She heard the body fall behind
her. Xena got up on her feet and turned just fast enough to see a man run towards the trees. The bard just
saved her but. 'You are getting pretty good at that swing.' The girl smiled. 'Not if you don't let me practice.'
Xena sighed.
