This would be the first time that Jasmine and Lief would travel without Barda. And indeed the first
time with Mesmeralde. But as the days went on on their journey to the west, Jasmine finally felt at
ease and is not filled with jealousy on Mesmeralde. In fact, she had grown to a liking with her, and
they became fast friends.

One night, as they camped upon the little oasis where the Kins breed for winter, Lief asked Mesmeralde
about Jasmine. And in another area, Jasmine consulted Filli on Lief.

Lief to Mesmeralde: I'm not sure Barda and my plan is working on Jasmine.

Mesmeralde: To be honest with you, it is.

Lief to Mesmeralde: Then why is she the same person. I mean, when she thought that I was to marry Marilen, she went
cold to me. But now, even if I know she thinks that I'll marry you, she's still as nice as... well, her
old self.

Jasmine to Filli: Then why is he acting so weird? As if he's gloating that he's getting married?

Filli to Jasmine: Then if you are filled with doubt, why not tell him how you feel?

Mesmeralde to Lief: Then if you are filled with doubt, why not tell her how you feel?

Lief and Jasmine: Now? But...

-*-
Lief: I'm so scared, so afraid to show I care.
Will she think me weak, if I tremble when I speak.

Jasmine: What if there's another one he's thinking of. Maybe he's in love.
I'd feel like a fool. Life can be so cruel. I don't know what to do.

Mesmeralde and Filli: I've been there. With my heart out in my hand.
But what you must understand, You can't let the chance, to love (him/her) pass you by....

Filli: Tell him! Tell him that the sun and moon rise in his eyes. Reach out to him.

Mesmeralde: And whisper... tender words so soft and sweet.

Jasmine: I'll hold him close to feel his heartbeat...

Lief: Love will be the gift, I'll give myself.

Jasmine and Lief: Love is light that surely glows,
In the hearts of those who know.
It's a steady flame that grows-----
Feed the fire with all the passion we can show
Tonight love will assume it's place
This memory time cannot erase.

Mesmeralde and Filli: Your faith will lead love where it has to go----

Filli: Tell him! Tell him that the sun and moon rise in his eyes. Reach out to him.

Mesmeralde: And whisper... tender words so soft and sweet.

Jasmine: I'll hold him close to feel his heartbeat...

Lief: Love will be the gift, I'll give myself.

Mesmeralde and Filli: oooh Never let (him/her) go.
