Kendra was very chipper the next morning, as you could tell from the fact she was whistling happily and doing something very close to skipping. She made it to the battle arena in record time. Murtagh saw her, but she didn't see him. She let out a squeak when he pulled her backwards by the waist.
"Hello, Kendra." she could feel his smile on her neck.
"Hello, Murtagh." she muttered back and turned around to kiss him. It was in the middle of the kiss that Eragon and Arya came.
"Hey! Hey! None of that you two!" Eragon yelled. Kendra was going to break the kiss, but Murtagh just ignored him and actually pulled her closer, which caused Arya to laugh.
"I'm getting Orrin and the others to see this." Eragon taunted, this time both of them ignored him. Arya snickered. Eragon grumbled under his breath and found a mirror to contact Orrin and the others. That was when Murtagh and Kendra broke apart. Kendra skipped happily over to the mirror, when Eragon said the words.
"Hello!" she said happily, "Can you get me Orrin, Nasuda, and Ajihad?" the magician that was on the other side of the mirror nodded. It was a few moments after that when the three showed up. Kendra sat on the grassy part of the arena.
"Hey, Any particular reason you contacted us?" Orrin asked.
"I had to stop Murtagh and Kendra from kissing in a public place." Eragon laughed when Kendra stuck her tongue out at him. Nasuda was looking like she was refraining from jumping up and down, Ajihad was smiling, and Orrin was smiling also, with an eyebrow raised.
"Jealous." Murtagh teased Eragon.
"Oh, yeah, I'm jealous of Kendra." Eragon rolled his eyes.
"Good to see you'll admit it." Murtagh snickered at Eragon's mad face.
"It was sarcasm!" Eragon objected.
"Just keep telling yourself that." Murtagh sighed and plopped down next to Kendra, putting an arm around her shoulders. Kendra and Arya snickered when Eragon growled.
"Okay, remeber us?" Nasuda asked, her eyes were bright and she was smiling.
"Yes, we remeber you." Kendra laughed.
"Okay then, give us details. I wanna know what happened between you two!" Nasuda answered, making a hand motion towards Murtagh and Kendra. Both of them blushed. Eragon took the mirror from Kendra.
"Hey!" she called, but Eragon ignored her.
"Well, we were forced to go to a ball last night, and while Murtagh and Kendra were dancing, they just started kissing." Eragon said.
"Is that all Murtagh told you?"Arya asked, and took the mirror from Eragon.
"There was a conversation!" Arya scolded.
"Hey! Murtagh! You never said there was a conversation!" Eragon whined, Murtagh laughed.
"I was tired, you were being annoying, so I told you the simplified version of things." was what Murtagh said.
"Okay well, when they started dancing Kendra asked Murtagh what if I had said no to you asking me for a dance, and Murtagh said you wouldn't because you love me. Next, Kendra asked what if I really did love you and Murtagh pulled her into a dip and replied then I would be extremely lucky and I could finally admit that I love you too. Then, they said I love you to one another and kissed." Arya finished.
"Wow, I didn't think you would remeber the conversation that well..." Kendra said looking at her with wide eyes.
"Of course." Arya smiled at her.
"Oh, let us get Tawni and Tanya." Orrin laughed. Kendra grabbed the mirror from Arya and glared at her brother.
"No! Orrin! Don't you dare!" Kendra growled. Orrin just smiled and left the room to get the two.
"Hey, did Carvahall get to Surda yet?" Eragon asked, changing the subject.
"Yes, they just got here actually, this morning." Ajihad replied, they had some small talk until Orrin came back, Tawni and Tanya trailing behind him. He was grinning widely and Tanya and Tawni were giving him puzzled looks.
"Hi Tawni! Hi Tanya!" Kendra said.
"Kendra!" the two said, surprised.
"What's new?" Tawni asked, automatically getting in gossip mode. Kendra blushed and glared at Orrin who snickered.
"Ooohh! It's something to do with her little friend!" Tanya cooed and Kendra's blush deepened confirming that.
"What? What? What?" Tawni asked, jumping up and down happily. Murtagh decided to answer for Kendra and pulled Kendra over and kissed her. Kendra made a surprised noise, but then kissed him back. Tawni, Nasuda, and Tanya squealed. Eragon sighed.
"Well, that's probably all the information you're going to get out of them now." he laughed. Arya nodded in agreement.
"Great, my little sister...." Orrin muttered. Ajihad snickered. Eragon and Arya talked to the others and waited for Murtagh and Kendra to stop. When they finally did, they were both panting.
"Finally done you two?" Eragon asked. Kendra glared playfully at him.
"No, actually, I'm not." she snickered and pulled Murtagh back down by his shirt. Murtagh laughed before his lips came in contact with hers. Arya snickered along with Nasuda.
"Nice going Eragon." Orrin growled, rolling his eyes.
"Well, who knows how long that will go on. Goodbye Kendra." Orrin laughed, when Kendra just waved her hand. Murtagh grabbing her hand from mid air and pulling it back down. The others laughed and then the mirror turned off. It was a few seconds after that Kendra and Murtagh broke apart for air again.
"Now, before you two start again, let's see if we can contact Orik." Arya laughed.
"If we must." Murtagh sighed. Kendra laughed. Eragon worked on the mirror and finally got a dwarf on it.
"Hello, is Orik there?" Eragon asked politely.
"Of course, I'll go get him." the dwarf replied, and was off to find Orik. Orik came back about five minutes later.
"Hey! Eragon!" Orik cheered.
"Great to see you." Orik added.
"You too." Eragon said.
"We have some news." Arya said, coming up behind Eragon.
"What? You and Eragon are finally a couple?" Orik asked Arya. Eragon and Arya blushed. Murtagh and Kendra laughed.
"No! But Kendra and Murtagh are!" Arya said.
"Finally!" Orik laughed, Kendra took the mirror from Eragon.
"I know!" she laughed also. They talked to Orik a while longer until it was time for Eragon and Arya's lesson from Oromis, then they said goodbye and Arya and Eragon headed to meet Oromis. Kendra and Murtagh looked around the arena to see if any one wanted to challenge them.
