Chapter 7: Embarking
Mishi awoke with a severely empty stomach. She rubbed it gently as it rumbled and a smile found it's way to her face.
'Tom made me pretty hungry' she thought while the smile turned into a smirk. She got up, she was still dressed when she was
put to sleep, and walked out of her room and down the stairs into the kitchen. Her stomach growled once again, this time more
impatiently as the intoxicating smell of something being cooked in the kitchen aroused her hunger with gusto. She turned the
corner into the kitchen and saw Shana toiling over the stove. On the table lay a plate of food, Mishi hoped it was for her.
"Don't you dare touch my food." Tom joked to Mishi's right. She looked at him with one of her most pitiful set of
puppy-eyes, and whined.
"Oh, but you made me so hungry!" Tom blushed, and was happy Shana didn't hear. He grabber her by the arm, and led
her into the living room, where they could be alone. He sat down on the couch and gestured for her to sit next to him. He
opened his mouth to speak, but was unable to.
"What's this about?" Mishi asked. Tom shook his head, and then started speaking.
"Mishi, what happened yesterday at the hill?" Tom couldn't help but feel very curious, after all, if his dream were
true...
"What do you think happened?" Mishi teased him. Tom blushed again.
"I can't remember a thing, the last thing I remember was crying on your shoulder." Tom admitted. It was Mishi's
turn to blush. She had thought that he had been awake...
"We umm... well we..." Mishi was now the one who was at a loss for words. "We did 'it'," She was finally able to
force out, rather sheepishly. Tom smiled.
"I thought so, I had a dream last night, that seemed real, like I had been there before." Tom said, his smile got
larger. "I was definitely awake, from the dream." Mishi blushed some more. "I don't think we should tell Dart or Shana yet
though, I don't know how they would take it." Mishi nodded in agreement. He got up to leave, and right before he left the
room he turned and said, "If I tired you out that much, go ahead and eat my food, I can have Shana make me some more."
After several minutes of extreme blushing, Mishi walked into the kitchen, sat down and ate the food on the plate in
front of her. Shana looked sat down across from her.
"You guys are leaving for Bale in a little while." Shana said, sadly. "I can't come, even though I wish I could, I
have to stay and watch Zeig. I'm afraid he's fallen ill since last night." Mishi walked over to Shana, and placed a
comforting hand on her shoulder.
"I'm sure he'll be fine. He's a trooper, just like his father." Shana looked up at Mishi. She flung her arms around
her neck, in a tight embrace. She broke it off suddenly.
"What's that smell?" She said, sniffing at Mishi. After about 30 seconds, a huge grin came to her face. "You were
'with' Tom, weren't you?" Shana asked with a now evil grin on her face. Mishi blushed 'If people keep making me blush, my
head's gonna explode!' Mishi thought to herself.
"If I tell you the truth, will you promise not to tell anyone?" Mishi asked, with a still bright red face.
"Of Course! Just between us girls" Shana said.
"Yeah, I did." She said, fearing her head was going to explode. Shana smiled and hugged her again.
"You had better go change and take a quick bath, if Dart smells this, he may not be as leniant as I am being now. He
has this whole honor thing, where you have to wait until you're married. He may try to force you two to get hitched." Mishi's
eye's widened with horor.
"He wouldn't!?" Mishi blurted out. Shana just nodded. Mishi flew into her room, ready to take a bath.

It had been about three hours since Tom, Mishi and Dart had left Seles for Bale. They were forced to walke, since
Dart no longer had a dragoon spirit, and neither of the two young dragoons felt like carrying him all the way to Bale. They
kept a steady pace, and Dart informed them that at the rate they were travelling, it would only take about 2 days to reach
Bale, with about 4 breaks. This was fine with the two teens, who after Mishi had told Tom about what Shana had said, decided
it would be best to keep a little distance.
"So, what did you two do up at the hill yesterday?" Dart asked. Tom and Mishi shared a scared look, and Mishi gestured
at Tom for him to take over.
"Well, I buried my parents, and Mishi showed up to be my shoulder to cry on. Then I guess I fell asleep, and when I
woke up, I carried Mishi home, not wanting to disturb her." Tom said, hoping that Dart wouldn't inquire further. Much to
the teen couples pleasure, he just nodded and kept on walking. 'Yup, they definitely had a good time last night' Dart thougt.
After a mostly quiet fifteen minutes, Dart stopped. He turned around to face the two teens. Going off a big hunch,
he said, "Shana told me what happened between you two last night." Both of the teens eyes widened with fear, causing Dart to
smile.
"B-b-but she promised she wouldn't!" Mishi said. Dart chuckled lightly.
"So you two did get aquainted last night. Don't worry Mishi, Shana never told me anything, it's just the way you
two are acting. You guys are usually a lot closer than this." Mishi felt the feeling of betrayal lift off of her chest, but
now according to Shana, her and Tom were going to have to get married.
"You're not going to make us get married are you Dart?" Tom asked fear dripping from his words. Dart looked shocked.
"Now why would I do a thing like that?" He pretended to be offended.
"Shana told Mishi that you would probably want us to because of your sense of honor." Tom explained, feeling relieved.
"I have nothing against having a little pre-marital fun, as long as you don't go and get her pregnant, you dog you."
Dart said, hitting Tom playfully on the shoulder.
After that, Tom and Mishi walked a lot closer, and they slept next to each other at night despite the fact that every
time she was close to him, and Dart, his face turned red. The rest of the trip to Bale was fairly uneventful. Eventually, Tom
saw the twin spired of Bale castle over the trees. They walked forwards until they reached a road that led to the gates of
the city.
"Here we are, at Bale."
A/N: A little akwards for me to write that stuff hehe.. ^_^; well, I thought i'd throw that in for a little bit of humor, I
mean, who doesn't enjoy watching others get embarassed? Sorry if it was kinda short, but that couldn't be helped 'til next
time...
