Authors Note: Well…This is it. Yupyup. I hope you all enjoyed this short, simple story of mine. Grins I have another one I am working on at the moment. It is a novel with three installments, and it is angst-major. Hehe. Cuz I am evil like that.

But for now, please enjoy the last part of Journey to Ostar.

One last thing: For anyone who's reading this story I highly recommend Macilwen's story "The Siege of Camelot" It is awesome!!

Gawain's Diary: Journey Back to Camelot

Finally…SHE'S gone! Terence has finally settled down a bit. At least, he's not acting as if he's expecting someone to jump out of nowhere and cuddle him to death. Death by Cuddle. Hmm… Terence came up with the idea, actually…

"I'll be back in a second Terence. Don't leave without me!" Mary Sue said, before running off to a nearby store.

"So, what should we do about her? I certainly don't want to take her back to Camelot with us…Eileen would kill me." Terence asked.

Gawain shrugged. "We could send her off?" He suggested sarcastically.

Suddenly, Terence's eyes widened.

"Oh, god. What is it now?" Gawain asked.

"That's it! That's a great idea!" Terence said excitedly.

"What is?" Gawain asked, confused.

"Listen, when she comes back let's pretend to be in an argument. You tell her that there is something on the other side of town you want me to check out before we leave but I am too scared to. She'll volunteer readily, to prove how brave she is! While she's gone we'll get out of here." Terence explained.

"Sounds good to me." Gawain nodded, "Here she comes."

As Mary Sue walked up behind him, Terence started. "No, Gawain! I won't go."

"Oh, why not? I just want you to check it out!" Gawain said.

"What?" Mary Sue asked, "What's going on?" She looked at Terence.

"Well, I heard something weird was happening on the other side of town. I asked brave ol' Terence here to check it out, but he doesn't want to." Gawain said.

"So! I just..don't want to." Terence retorted.

"Yeah..sure. You're just scared!" Gawain said. Terence reddened.

"You're scared? But..But you're the freaking Duke of freaking Avalon!" Mary Sue exclaimed suddenly.

"How do you know that?!" Gawain and Terence asked at the same time.

"I have..my..ways." Mary Sue replied nervously. Terence cocked and eyebrow at her.

"Anyway, would you mind checking it out Mary Sue?" Gawain asked.

"OOH! You're asking me?" Mary Sue asked excited.

"Um..Yeah." Gawain said.

"Oh, ok! I'll do it! I'm brave!" Mary Sue smiled, turned and ran across town.

"Does she even know what to look for?" Terence asked.

"How could she? There is nothing. Let's go." Gawain said.

Gawain and Terence grabbed their stuff, said a quick goodbye to Cardanus and headed out of town.

"Well, that was successful." Gawain commented.

"Yeah, I think so." Terence nodded, "As long as she doesn't follow us."

"As long as she doesn't follow you" Gawain said.

"That too." Terence grinned.

"So, do you want to stop and make camp?" Gawain asked.

Terence looked at Gawain as if he was crazy. "No, let's not!" He said.

Gawain laughed. "Let's go home then, lad. Let's go home."

And so Sir Gawain and Squire Terence did return to Camelot and tell the tale of Ostar. Mary Sue was not included in the tale they told to the court, as the gentle Lady Eileen did freak out when Terence told her of Mary Sue.

And as for Mary Sue, she wasn't heard from after the journey ended, but many believe she is still looking for Terence.
