DISCLAIMER: HELLO, YOU'RE READING FANFICTION!!!!
Once upon a time, there was a wonderful knight in shining armor whose name was Sir Neal. There was also a damsel in distress, Lady Keladry. Lady Keladry was stuck in a tall, tall tower that towered above all other towers. Actually, it was Balor's needle. And she was stuck. Oh yeah, and Neal isn't a knight in shining armor, he's a knight in practice clothes. Kel is also a knight, with dirty clothes.
"KEL!! WHY ARE YOU UP THERE!?" Neal shouted at Kel from the ground "I THOUGHT YOU WERE AFRAID OF HEIGHTS!!"
"I AM, YOU DOLT!! GET ME DOWN FROM THIS THING, BEFORE I PUKE ALL OVER YOU!!"
"Fine, fine, fine," Neal muttered. He climbed all the steps as quickly as possible, and managed to pry the door open, with Kel's help on the other side. She ended up heaving all over him anyway once she was with him on the inner stair of the Needle. "Kel, how long were you up there?" he asked once she was finished. He was kneeling beside her on the landing, his hand on her forehead pouring emerald fire into her to soothe her burning throat.
"An hour or two, I think. I couldn't really tell," she smiled weakly at him. "Thanks for rescuing me. I wasn't sure if anyone would come. How did you find me, anyway?"
"Well, the Stump gave you a tongue lashing yesterday during the curtain wall run, and you seemed fair displeased about it. I figured you would be trying to overcome your fear again."
They had made it to the ground, and all of a sudden, Neal kissed Kel tenderly. It lasted for a few moments, then she turned away, blushing. "Sorry, I just needed to do that," he whispered. "I didn't know where you were, and it scared me to death."
"I was scared too," she murmered. "But you're my best friend."
"I know. Is this going to change that?"
"No, we'll always be friends."
But I want to be more than that, Neal thought.
