"Hoshi?" Kel whistled, to get the horse's attention. "Let's go out." She began to saddle Hoshi.
Peachblossom lazily opened an eye and snorted. Hoshi shook her head and whickered, as if too say, "It's
too early, but you're the boss!"
Kel laughed. She led Hoshi out, and they began to trot. It was nice to be back at Mindelan. She led Hoshi
into the woods, closing her eyes and sniffing the fresh air. Thoughts kept buzzing through her head. 'Why
did I feel so funny when he kissed my hand?' was the main thought. Kel sighed, and urged Hoshi to a
steady gallop.
She stopped at the river, and sat down. She splashed cool, crisp water on her face. She was drying her
face, when a noise startled her. She whipped around.
"Merric?" she asked with disbelief. Merric looked almost ashamed. "What are you doing here, on my
father's land, so early?"
He laughed. "Please don't be mad, mother," he teased. "I'm a big boy, and felt like going for a ride. And, I
must deliver this." He thrust a letter into her hands. "It's from King Jon," he said quickly, in a voice that told
Kel he was lying.
She tucked it into her pocket. "Thanks, Merric," she said, blushing. She was blushing again! Kel felt silly
and sighed. Merrc was staring at the ground. He suddenly looked up. "Kel, it's polite to tip the
messanger!" he teased.
"I haven't got any money for you," Kel said primly. "You're hardly a MESSANGER, you're just a silly little
boy who is out of bed too early."
"No money, hmmm?" Merric asked. "This'll have to do then." He leaned foward and kissed her, quickly,
but enough to make the two of them turn red.
The kiss surprised Kel. That was for sure. But, she was even more surprised to find herself kissing him
back.
(A/N sorry, it's short, maybe "too fast" but I'm not supposed to be on the computer...but I couldn't let
my fans down! ;) :-* Hugs and kisses!)
