Hey all, thank you for the review! I'm glad there's at least one other K&J fanfic fan out there : ) Well, here's the second chapter. Please R&R! Also, the characters may seem a bit ooc, but this is how I imagined they'd act before they became "dignified" Harpers, so please no flames = ) Anything in**means thought, while () is just a comment.

Disclaimer: As stated before I own nothing except a bunch of cds.

Chapter 2: At the Campsite

"Excuse me? What do you mean by definitely?" came Jaheira's voice, which was surprisingly calm. When Jaheira's voice was calm, you knew someone was going to be in a world of hurt. Khalid had almost reached his escape route, if only he could make it, just a few more feet…

"Do not ignore me Khalid! What do you mean by definitely? Hey, stop right there! Not one more inch!" While Khalid immediately froze and started stuttering out an answer, Shadow was rolling on the floor with laughter in the background. They both just kind of ignored her: Jaheira was too busy trying to kill Khalid just by looking at him, and Khalid was trying to explain what he had meant without getting himself into further trouble.

"W-well what I meant by that w-was that, well, I believe Shadow cooks better, b-but only because s-she has cooked m-more often! I of c-course didn't mean to offend y-you…" he smiled nervously at her while simultaneously pleading with Shadow (with his eyes) to help him. She just smiled and took a seat on the nearest log to watch the action. Unfortunately, or fortunately in Khalid's case, she wouldn't get much of a show, because Jaheira seemed to calm down, at least a little bit.

*Oh well, she never could stay all that mad at Khalid for very long. And she claims she doesn't like him! Aw, they would look so cute together! Hmmm…* as Shadow started plotting, she saw Jaheira walk over to Khalid.

"Well, I suppose if that was what you were judging by, I cannot remain angry at you. Hmph! Well, lets go see just how good Shadow's cooking actually is then," and with that she slightly stalked back to the campsite and practically threw herself down upon the nearest log and promptly put her permanent scowl back on her face. "Well? Are you going to demonstrate your wonderful culinary skills or shall we have to starve?"

"Yes your majesty! At once!"

Khalid smiled to himself as he walked back to the camp and made sure to sit nowhere near the two females, in case they decided to go ballistic or to ask him another "question". As the druid and thief began arguing again Khaild chuckled softly and thought, *I'm glad things are back to normal again. That's the last time I try to solve any of their problems. Though I wonder why Jaheira decided to let it go… I certainly didn't make that good of a point, and I sure wasn't convincing. Oh well, at least I got away alive! She can be rather frightening sometimes. I hope I don't get on her bad side too often.*

After a short while and much complaining, the food was finally ready. "Alright, everyone! Step right up and try my famous cooking!"

Everyone got a bowl full and Jaheira immediately ate a large spoonful of the soup like meal. A second later and she was diving for the bread and water, trying to stop the burning on her tongue. "Oh, by the way, it's extremely hot. You may want to blow on it." Shadow added as an afterthought, a mischievous smirk on her lips. Her eyes darted over to Khalid, who in turn was trying his best not to laugh.

After Jaheira had finally cooled her tongue she was no longer hungry and declared that she would "Never touch another meal that witch made." Shadow pretended to be hurt, but soon was laughing merrily. Finally the trio retired, only to be awoken mere hours later by the loud druid.

"Up, up, up! It is bright, and it is early, and you will get up! DO not growl at me thief! We must get to Harper Hall to meet Gorion sometime today! Ugh! You two are hopeless! I will be back after I finish packing our equipment and if you are not up by then, Silvanus help you!" she marched off with a smile on her lips, obviously pleased with having ruined Shadow's sleep.

"Is she always that loud? What time is it? Never mind just wake me again in a few hours. This had all better be an annoying dream, because no one wakes Shadow Darkholme up before the sun gets up!" she turned over and buried her face in her covers, cursing the tree-hugger the whole time.

"I-In answer to your questions, y-yes she is always that l-loud, y-you should know that by n-now. As for the t-time, it is simply f-far earlier than it s-should be. I believe you two w-would call this revenge f-for what happened yesterday. However, knowing J-Jaheira, it still would most likely n-not be wise to ignore h-her when she is this a-adamant about something." He looked over only to realize that the thief was completely unconscious and snoring slightly. He sighed loudly. * Am I really that boring?* he thought jokingly to himself.

After simply lying there for a few minutes, he finally got up, repacked his things, threw on his armor, and eventually managed to shake Shadow out of her coma. She wasn't exactly happy about that, cursing under her breath at everything as she stumbled, barely awake through her morning rituals.

It took Jaheira at least three more warnings before the thief was finally ready to go. Khalid and Jaheira looked at each other and muttered, "she looks undead, are you sure she's alive?" Khalid smiled at her and the trio began moving toward their destination: Baldur's Gate.
