A/N: ^_____________^ I'm so proud of me. I'm actually going to update on time! YAY! THANK YOU REVIEWERS! I 3 reviews! They make writing so much more enjoyable!
Disclaimer: Phaerie is finding these disclaimer-thing-a-ma-bobs to be rather annoying. Who else thinks they are annoying? Phaerie doesn't get why anybody would write FANFICTION if they owned the original story. Since it confuses her, she does not believe in it. If she doesn't believe in it..then.......well, she doesn't own Crown/Court Duel, that's all you need to know.
-:-Fish Kiss!-:-Chapter 5-:-
It's time for a little recap!:
"Right then, shall we be off?"
"I suppose.." Mel answered reluctantly. She then stood and followed Bran out of the parlor and down to the main room. As they made their way out of the inn, Mel caught a glimpse of yellow, and, upon investigating further, found it was Vidanric. He and Nee (that rhymes!) were seated at a table in a solitary corner, talking in hushed voices. Mel felt a pang in her heart just before she exited the room into the bright sunlight that had replaced the stormy skies.
That's all for now:
The streets were packed with villagers and travelers. The noise they were all making was almost unbearable. Bran and Meliara walked through the middle of the street, heads turning to either side to see just what everyone was doing.
"Mel, what have you got against Danric exactly?" Bran asked as they passed stand were flowers were being sold.
"I haven't got anything against him, really," she replied without looking at him.
"Yes, you do. You're a terribe liar."
"So what if I have? I don't see it being any buisness of yours."
"Whatever happened to forgive and forget?"
"It's not that easy, Bran."
"Yes, it is. All you have to do is go and tell him you wished that you two could clear things up between you and ask him to forgive you for any stupid things you've done."
"Why should I be the one that has to ask for forgiveness?"
"Well, you could forgive him, too."
"There's just two many issues between us.."
Mel thought that she distinctly heard her brother muttering under his breath something along the lines of, "Issues? Life, that's an understatment. He's on the verge of proclaiming his undying love for you, and you're still trying decide if you hate him or not."
This, of course, confused Mel greatly and distracted her. So, she didn't notice when one of the villagers rolled over a cat's tail with his wheelbarrow, causing the cat to go ballistic. And it was just her luck that the rampaging cat jumped at her and clung to dress. She didn't notice any of this until it had already transpired, so the shreik that had just emitted from her mouth was quite understandable.
She jumped back into a stand selling jewelry and an immediate chain reaction was started. By the time all the dust had settled, half the occupants of the street were on the ground, Mel and Bran included. Although, Bran ended up on the ground for slightly different reasons than Meliara. Meliara had lost her balance after knocking down the jewelery stand, where as Bran had lost his balance once he broke out in uncontrollable laughter. Mel glared at her idiot of a brother and picked herself up, apologizing profusely for all the damage she'd caused.
Where did we leave them off at?:
"Danric wanted a word with you Nee." Nee gave him a puzzled look which was responded with a cough and a glance at Meliara.
"Ah! That's right. Well, I'll see the two of you late then." Nee smiled, got up and left the parlor.
It's time to check in with what Danric and Nee have been up to:
Nee made her way to the inn lobby and found Vidanric sitting at his corner table (As he magically appeared there seconds before..). She made her way toward him, seemingly unnoticed as he was staring intently into his cup. She cleared her throat after had reached the table and had stood there for a minute to make her presence known.
Vidanric looked up, obviously startled, "Oh, Nimiar, good morning.." he greeted her rather distantly.
"Good morning to you as well Vidanric. Bran said you wanted to talk to me?" She gave him a puzzled look.
"I do? Oh, I do. Have a seat," he waved his hand in the direction of the cushion oppsoite him.
"Are you feeling alright?" Nee asked as they had been sitting in silence for the past few minutes.
"Huh, oh, I'm in perfect health, just thinking is all.." Nee nodded and shot him an all-knowing smile
"Am I to presume that you've come up with some fabulous plan to win Mel over and you need my help to execute it?"
Vidanric's eyes widened a fraction but then went back to normal as he composed himself, "Are you some king of mind reader?"
Nee giggled and shook her head, "No, just a lucky guess. So what have you got up your sleeve?"
Vidanric then proceeded to inform her on his spectacular plan. When he had finished, Nee's eyes had a glazed look and she wore a dreamy smile, "I wish Bran would do something that sweet for me.."
"You think she'll like it then?" Nee had to stifle another giggle fit as she caught the desperation in his voice.
"It's so romantic, she'd have to be crazy not to." Nee reassured him with a smile. "But.."
"But? There's a but?"
"I think something is missing.."
"Something's missing?"
"Yes, I think you need some music, to set the mood."
"Music to set the mood?"
"Precisely."
"What kind of music?"
"Mood setting music."
"Well that's helpful."
Nee giggled, "Don't worry, I'll provide the mood setting music," she smiled before leaving to go find someone who would let her borrow a harp for the night.
A/N: Finally. Phaerie is frustrated because she had to type the second half of the chapter all over again because her computer decided to have a fit and freeze just before she got to save. Buuuuuuut, that's OK! Only one more chapter to go, two at the most. Phaerie would really appreciate some nice reviews! ^___________^ The next chapter should be out by Wednesday!
