Ch10: a new love rises Hey guys and girls, I was going hunting, it was awesome, so I was able to upload this on Friday. Enjoy this surprising new attachment to the story of a new love in Ceilis.

It had been a week since Trellis had regained life and was now living with Emily again as a member of the council. The kept training with Leon and spent more time together. Once in a while they would have to return to the war, though they hadn't seen max yet. They were in the gardens learning how to use their stones to become invisible. Emily used all of her power it started working, but stopped right after, Trellis was having the same trouble. They were depleting their energy, so they stopped.

"I think that's enough for one day." He said as they drank some water and exited.

"Want to get Navin and go to ally's family diner?" She asked.

"Sure, I'm sure Navin would be happy to see his girlfriend." Said Trellis laughing.

"Stop it." She said punching him in the arm."They're just friends." She said.

"I know, I was just joking, but they might as well be. They fight against the elves TOGETHER all the time." He said proving a point. Emily hadn't thought of it that way. That's when she got an idea. And whispered it to Trellis. They both smiled devilishly and kept walking towards the towers.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

They arrived at the towers and went to their room to change into their regular clothes. Once they were done they went to look for Navin. They found him talking to some of the other guards, being the commander of the resistance he had a lot of authority there. They walked up to him. He saw, and returned the guards to their posts. He turned to face them.

"What's up, guys?" He asked.

"We were wondering if you wanted to go to ally's diner for her moms Yukmo pies. Want to go?" She asked.

"Sure, I could use some time to relax." He said as they started walking into town

When they arrived ally was at the counter cleaning some plates. She saw the couple come in first, then she saw Navin come and smiled. They sat down and she handed them menus.

"What can I get you guys? She asked.

"Three Yukmo pies please." Said Emily.

"Coming right up." She said going into the kitchen. Emily and Trellis winked at each other. She walked back out with three fresh Yukmo pies. She set them down and went back into the kitchen. While Navin was eating, Emily and Trellis quickly put the pies in a box and put them in their packs. They started to act full.

"Wow, those were good." Said Trellis as Navin saw that they were finished. He on the other hand, just started. He didn't see through the ruse.

"Wow...you guys must have been hungry." He said.

"We're going back. Here's our half of the check."

"But-." He was cut off by the door closing. He sat there as ally came back out.

"Where'd the others go?" She asked.

"I guess they were really hungry." He looked through the window and back at her."At least were alone." He said as he came up and kissed her. She kissed back and they hugged. Emily and Trellis were watching in the darkness with mouths wide open.

"Wow...secret love...we should keep this our secret from my mom." Said Emily.

"Yeah, we don't want a family hangout that would be embarrassing for us and them." He said as they walked back to the towers quietly.

They returned and saw that Navin was already there.

"Hey, where were you two?" He asked they started to say something, but they were stopped."Never mind, it's probably a you thing, so I'll stay out of this." He said as they walked out relieved. They went to their room and laid down and Emily snuggled up to Trellis. He smiled and hugged her.

"Good night, Emily. I love you." He said.

"I love you too, Trellis." She said as they kissed each other goodnight and went to sleep.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

They had a full day of training was ahead of the couple. They saw Navin sneak off to see ally, so they blew it off and followed him. They ended up at their diner. They hid and peaked through the window. They were talking and they kissed every so often. That's how Trellis and Emily used to date. Suddenly, he came out and they snuck up on him.

"Oh...hey guys...I was just going to get a..uh..a Yukmo pie." He said sweating like crazy.

"Uh-huh, by the way you have lipstick on you." Trellis said pointing at the marks on his face. He wiped it off.

"Fine, you caught me. I'm dating ally." He said bowing his his head for being secretive. They laughed.

"Navin, we already knew. We just wanted you to be honest that's all." She said as his eyes went wide.

"You-. I-. Uhgh...how long?" He asked.

"Since yesterday." She said. His mouth went wide as well.

"You guys were watching!?" He asked while yelling in anger and confusion.

"Yep, doesn't matter now." Trellis said as Navin started to laugh.

"I guess it's time for me to come clean." He said.

"Yeah, mom WOULD find out anyway." She said as he nodded and they walked back to the castle together.
