Author's note- sorry this took so long guys! I sort of had a bit of a writer's block well, not really. It's hard to explain. Anyways, there will be more after this so it should go up soon. No characters belong to me. R/R!!!!!!! Hi Manda! (I'm gunna steal Daniel away from you!) lol
Kel was walking in the gardens enjoying her first day off when she looked up too see Neal walking towards her.
::He's going to ask me to go to the ball with him!:: she thought, trying to keep her face Yamani smooth not letting any of her excitement spill over into her face. She let a smile grace her face.
"Hi Neal." She said.
"Hi Kel." He replied.
"So, have you found your soon to be date to the midwinter ball yet?" Kel asked in an innocent voice pretending not to know.
Neal looked a little nervous for a moment. He knew what her answer would be but it was nerve wracking all the same.
"Actually, I have... Kel, uh...would you..."
"Of course I will Neal!" she interrupted unable to contain herself any longer. She jumped up and threw her arms around his neck and hugged him close.
Neal, quite surprised, held her in his arms and lifted her off the ground.
"Oh Neal!" she laughed. She stopped laughing at the sight she saw over his shoulder.
The red hair of the retreating back unmistakably belonged to Cleon. He quickened to a run and was soon out of sight.
Neal put Kel back on the ground. She let go of him and stared into his green eyes. He smiled sheepishly and gazed right back at her. He suddenly began to lean in.
"I'll see you then, Neal." Kel said quickly and ran off in the direction Cleon had gone.

Cleon was still running away from the scene he had just bumped into. It still hurt to see them together. ::it probably won't ever stop hurting.:: he thought. ::Why did I do this to myself? I didn't have to tell Neal." Cleon sighed deeply. ::Kel and Neal can live happily ever after and I'll find someone else......I hope.::
He slowed to a walk and looked around to see where he was. He was a little ways away from the stables. He walked in quite out of breath. His chestnut mare neighed at his presence. He began to brush her letting his emotions flow into his work.
Suddenly Kel ran in looking flushed. "Cleon I'm sorry..."
"You don't have to apologize."
"Mithros, Cleon! I still care about you. Maybe not like I do for Neal but you're still one of my best friends!"
Cleon stopped brushing his horse to look at her.
"Quit acting like just because I don't love you doesn't mean I don't care about your feelings!."
Cleon sighed and was silent for a long time.
"I know you're going to the dance with Neal. Just save me one dance. One dance so I can get my final dance with the one thing I ever truly loved. So I can dance with the moon, the stars, the heavens, and all that's in between. If you give me this I'll be able to go on with my life and find someone else that I can share my love with. I'll never love anyone as much as I loved you, but at least I'll be able to love again."
Kel looked at him for a long time taking in what he said. "I'll save you a dance, Cleon."
She turned around and slowly walked out of the stables.
