Author's note-I'm expecting many flames for this. It's just meant to be a little funny short story. There will be no sequel but I desperately want reviews. R/R
Disclaimer- no characters belong to me. They belong to that goddess Tamora Pierce. Perhaps you've heard of her? I own this plot that you MUST tell me if you like!
Neal, Roald, Cleon, Faleron, Esmond, and Seaver sat at the library table thinking through the conversation they just had.
'Everyone knew I liked Kel' Cleon thought. 'But I never knew that everyone else liked her too.'
'What chance do I have of getting Kel now?' Neal thought lost in his thoughts. ' Roald is the crown prince. He's handsome and smart. He's everything Kel could ever want. Cleon is funny, witty and charming. He's always flatters her with those silly names. Faleron is the most attractive of us all. Not only that but he's really smart. Seaver is, well…Seaver! Esmond was the first to acknowledge her talent. He's been really nice to her lately. I'm…well…Oh whom I kidding? I'm nothing. Besides, I'm too old for her. What kind of name is Nealan anyway?'
Seaver interrupted Neal's thoughts by breaking the silence. "Kel really is incredible. She managed to make all of us fall in love with her."
"We have to make her choose" Esmond said stubbornly.
"We can't just throw this in her face and make her choose." Roald protested.
"We do need to tell her though." Cleon said thoughtfully.
Neal was very quiet throughout all of this.
"What do you think Neal? Faleron asked. "After all, you are her best friend. You should know what's best."
"Yeah! What do you think Neal?"
Neal thought on this for a while
"We do need to tell her." He finally said. "But! We can't expect her to choose right away. She probably will choose one of you, right? So the rest of us will walk away, good sports."
They were all quiet at this.
"I notice you said 'one of you' and 'the rest of us' Roald said. " you don't think she'll choose you, Neal?"
"I don't know. Not even I know how she'll even react let alone if she'll choose me. I doubt it though."
"We all have different things to offer but how can you say that?" Faleron said.
"Yeah! If anyone she'll choose you." Cleon agreed. "You are her best friend. She trusts you."
"I guess we'll see when she chooses." Seaver said.
They all looked at each other in a new light. As competition.
"Let's all promise to stay friends no matter what." Esmond broke the long silence. "We can't let this come between us."
"Yeah"
"Of course"
"Absolutely"
"We have to stick together."
They all agreed.

Many heads turned to see the large group of squires that walked down the hall. Some looked determined. Others nervous. Each one of them dying for Kel to choose them.
They searched for her till finding her in the kitchen gardens talking to Merric. She had a flower in her hair.
"Kel?" Roald inquired, "Can we talk to you?"
"Sounds serious. What's up?" Kel said smiling.
Everyone looked at each other.
"You tell her."
"No!"
"No, Neal should tell her."
"Yeah!"
"Tell her Neal!"
Okay Okay, I'll tell her."
"Guys, Guys! Tell me what Neal?" Kel said looking quite annoyed.
Esmond shoved Neal forward.
"Well, the thing is…" he began. "You see…"
"Just tell me!" Kel almost yelled. "Whatever it is it can't be that big a deal."
Neal sighed "the thing is Kel, I… I love you."
Roald hit Neal on the back of the head as Kel's mouth fell open.
"OW! Okay Okay! We all like you, Kel."
Kel looked at all of them shocked. Merric pushed her mouth closed. Kel just stared at hem blankly.
Suddenly she broke out in laughter.
"Ha ha, that's funny! Good one guys. Boy, you really had me going."
Merric joined in on he laughter. I died quickly though when they saw the serious faces on their friend's faces.
"Oh great mother you're serious!"
They all nodded.
Kel blushed, as did Merric.
"Hey, what's going on Merric? Why are you blushing?" Roald asked.
This just made Merric a deeper shade of red.
They all looked at Kel curiously.
"Um…there's a secret I've been keeping from all of you." Kel said. "I meant to tell you, really I did!"
"What is it already?!" Cleon said.
"Merric and I have been going out for about a year now." She said blushing a deep crimson.
"MERRIC!"
They all yelled in unison. They turned to see Merric who was by now a vivid shade of red.

Neal sat straight up in bed. His sheets were sweat soaked. Sweat ran down his face. He screamed,
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
