A/N: Thx so much for the reviews people they are much appreciated. Sorry I haven't updated in a while but I couldn't think of anything to write.
Late that night, Kel woke with a start, she could have sworn something or someone was calling her name. She listened quietly, she heard only faintly her name being called by a male voice. 'hmm,' she thought 'who could that be?' She opened her eyes and took in her surroundings trying to remember where she was 'oh, gee I'm stupid sometimes, I'm on the road with Alanna and Neal. NEAL!!!! That's his voice'
"Neal?" she whispered quietly.
"Kel!" a voice equally quiet answered with excitement. "You're awake?"
"Now I am, what do you want?"
"Oh I didn't mean to wake you I just wanted to see if you were awake because I can't sleep. If you were awake I though maybe we could talk."
"Well now that I am awake, wide awake, you might as well tell me whatever you have to say," she snapped.
"Oh it's nothing in particular just talk in general."
Kel sighed 'I've got nothing better to do might as well see if it's really nothing.' She got up and walked over to where he lay. A pair of green eyes looked up at her; Neal realizing she was waiting for him to move immediately got up motioning for her to sit by him. The moment she sat down she was enveloped in a pair of strong arms.
"Well…what do you want to talk about?" Kel asked.
"About what we are going to do in the next couple of months."
"I thought we already knew that, you are going with the Lioness and I'm going to Pirate's Swoop."
"No, I meant about us. I'm going to miss you so much."
"Don't worry we'll get through it. You better write me though."
"Of course I will. I suppose it isn't too terribly long, only a month or so," he said a hint of sadness in his voice.
"Without me who will make you eat vegetables?"
"You know that's not the only reason I'm going to miss you right?"
"Of course I do, if I wasn't there, there would be no one to do this to you." Quickly, she touched her lips to his and just as quickly pulled away. Neal's only response was to kiss her back, pulling her close to him; and this is how they fell asleep, in each other's arms.
Alanna awoke to find her charges asleep in each other's arms. 'hmm,' she thought 'that reminds me of some one. Oh yes that reminds me of me when I was a squire.' She chuckled quietly to her self. I think I'd like to be evil to my former squire, the only problem is getting Kel away from him. Quietly, she crept over and tapped Kel; hazel eyes flicked open and locked on her own violet ones. Kel immediately blushed and carefully untangled herself so as not to awaken Neal.
"I can explain," she stammered but she was cut off.
"No don't trouble yourself, I don't care. I was in love too you know, oh wait I still am." She grinned at her new friend, "Look I don't mind at all but you want to help me play a wonderful trick on Sleeping Beauty there?"
"What sort of trick?"
Alanna quickly explained and Kel agreed to help. Soon they had a wineskin pan full of freezing water. On her fingers, Alanna counted to three and then she and Kel dumped the water out on their friend.
Neal jumped up, he was wide awake now. "What was that for?" he looked at the culprits and said sarcastically, "Kel, you should be ashamed of yourself."
"And why's that my love?"
"Exactly what you just said, you are SUPPOSED to LOVE me, not assist my former knight-master in her treachery."
"Hey I am not treacherous." Alanna protested.
"Oh really? What about that one time when you dragged me off by my ear because I didn't want to learn any more healing? Or that time when you did just this same thing? Or that time –"
"Enough, don't fill my new friend ears with anymore of your poison."
All three laughed at this last comment before setting about making breakfast.
A/N: ahhhhhhh it's so…so…so SHORT! I'm sorry about that but I can't for the life of me think of what to write I think I might start the next chapter so that Kel is at Pirate's Swoop and Alanna and Neal are at the little village place. OK well you know the drill (this is the part where I beg everyone to review)
*gets down on knees* please please please please please please review
Oh yeah, I started this thing where you can create a person in Tortall and write diary entries about their life. For example, you could be a page/squire at the palace and write diary entries/stories about their life. It's kind of corny but my friend told me to get an online diary and so that what I decided to do with it. If anyone is interested email me at greenngrayeyez4eva@hotmail.com
