(Next morning over breakfast) ,,We still have to discuss what we're going to do to get rid of those Chosen."-Bray.

,,Yes, we should do that BEFORE the wedding."

,,Why?"-Salene.

,,Because on tv they also attacked just after a wedding, we don't want to risk that, do we?"

,,No, loverboy can't have his honeymoon interupted."-Lex (a bit sarcastic).

i,,Hum, last time it was your honeymoon being interupted and you didn't like it one bit, Lexy." /i

,,Get off your high horse Lex! So, what are we gonna do about it?"-Ebony.

,,We could try an ambush, how many did you say there were?"-Amber.

,,I never said how many there were, but I don't think there are more than ten or fifteen maybe."

,,I think I should scout ahead before anyone goes rushing in."-Ebony.

,,I think Pride can do that, iwe don't want you making any deals with Jaffa, right?"/i

,,I think that's a good idea."-Bray (before Ebony could start arguing).

,,Okay, does anyone know where they are?"-Pride.

,,I believe they're in an old tunnel or cave or something like that, in the woods."

,,I think I know what you mean, does it have an old fence?"-Pride.

,,Yes! With something about danger on it."

,,I know where that is, I can go take a look there."-Pride.

,,Okay, then Pride'll go check and we'll wait here until we know exactly how many there are and where they are."-Danni (everyone agreed with that and we went back to eating).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(After breakfast) ,,Can we try on our dresses again?"-Patsy (almost begging).

,,Sure honey, we have to work on them anyway."-Amber.

,,Salene, do we have to work some more on your dress or do you think it's okay?"

,,I think it'll be fine. I don't know what else we could do about it."- Salene.

,,Okay, then I guess we'll just have to work on Patsy and Cloe's dresses."

,,So what are we waiting for?"-Salene.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

,,They look a bit empty now."

,,Yeah, it need something."-Salene.

,,How about veils? We could make sleeves out of the veils, that way they'll also have something see-trough and maybe it'll look less empty."-Amber.

,,Okay, I'll go back to get some more veils."

,,By yourself? That's not safe, I'll come with you."-Salene.

,,No, that's okay, I can do it and I'll be quicker alone. Besides, I have a stamp, so everyone will know I'm a Mall Rat and they won't hurt me, Dal said it himself, I'm a Mall Rat, we're a protected species!"

,,But what about the Chosen?"-Amber.

,,I'll be fine, they're not after me. I was even out alone with Brady one time and they didn't do anything. Don't worry, I'll get right back."

,,Okay, but if you're not back in an hour, I'll start organising a search."- Amber.

,,Fair enough! Later!" (taking off to the weddingshop).

,,Morgaine is gonna be okay, isn't she."-Cloe (I heard just before leaving the room).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

,,Hey."-Sasha (I just came back from the store).

,,Hay!"

,,What were you doing?"-Sasha.

,,I just came back from the shop, I had to get something for the wedding."

,,On your own? That could be dangerous!"-Sasha.

,,Come on, Sasha, I'm a big girl!"

,,Even big girls can get captured."-Sasha.

,,Don't worry, nothing happened! I'm still here right?"

,,I just don't want you to get hurt."-Sasha.

,,I know, but I'm careful, do you think I want to get hurt? So, for the millionth time, don't worry! But I have to go now, Amber and the others are waiting for me."

,,Okay, how about we go for a walk tomorrow?"-Sasha.

,,I thought going out was dangerous?" (joking).

,,There's two of us now, I'm sure it'll be okay."-Sasha.

,,Okay, how about after breakfast?"

,,Great! I'll see you then."-Sasha.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

,,So what do you think?"

,,They look great!"-Salene.

,,When is the wedding?"-Patsy.

,,Yeah, I want the wedding, so we can wear these dresses the whole day!"- Cloe.

,,And have a party!"-Patsy.

,,And have some great food"-Cloe.

,,Hold on, it's still a few days away, you'll have to be a little patient."- Amber (they looked disappointed).

,,Sorry girls."

,,Now, you'll have to get out off those dresses, we don't want them to be dirty on the wedding, do we?"-Salene.

,,No, okay."-Cloe (they went to their room to change).

,,I'll go to the kitchen, I have to make dinner today."

,,Want any help?"-Amber.

,,Sure! I don't know what to make, I don't think you can make a lot with beans and beans and . . . oh more beans! Maybe there is some apple left. That would make a great dessert. It's strange how your demands change when there's less food. How less picky you get. Normally I would have been in a bad mood if we only had apple and beans, but now I hope we have apple! They're strange times."

,,Really? I thought all the adults dying and forming tribes happened to everyone growing up."-Amber (obviously sarcastic).

,,It's good to have found someone as sarcastic as me." (laughing).

,,It depends on how you look on it."-Amber (also laughing).

,,Weren't we going to make dinner?"-Salene.

,,That's a great idea Salene!" (sarcastic).

,,We'd better get going!"-Amber (sarcastic?).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i,,I'm up early again! Guess it's just the influence of the place. I don't know how late I go to bed these days, with my watch not working and everything, I mean when I got here it started acting all strange, It's suddenly jumping ahead a few hours, and I'm sure that if it had a day on it, those would jump around a lot too. Stupid thing! But now you'll have to get outta bed, you can't stay here for ever! Come on, let's take Loes for a walk trough the Mall, but after getting dressed, I still wear that blue thing the Gaians wear, it wasn't that bad after the library so I just kept it, but I haven't wanted to get something else either, it's way to comfy and besides, everybody wears the same stuff for days. Now come on. (a few minutes later) Come on Loes, let's go for a little walk. What do you say about that? Let's go then. /i (walking out of my room with Loes and going to the cafe first to see that Danni is already up) Hey Danni!"

,,Hay."-Danni (she didn't look so happy).

,,Haven't seen you around much."

,,I guess I was a little busy."-Danni (blushing).

,,With Pride?"

,,I guess so."-Danni (blushing even more).

,,Then I guess it's going well between you two."

,,Yeah, you know, Pride wanted to leave the Gaians when he went here, but now he suddenly says that if I come with them, he'll go back."-Danni.

,,Did he say why he left? Was it something about to many voices and everybody wanting something else?"

,,Yeah, how did you know that? (I gave her a meaningful look) Oh, yeah right."-Danni.

,,I think he has seen what a great leader you are and hopes that you'll stop all the arguing amongst the Gaians."

,,I don't know if I want to go yet, I mean, I like it here too."-Danni.

,,Well, you'll have to make that decision for yourself, I can't make it for you."

,,Yeah, I guess I'll go, I miss him already, I don't think I could stay here if he leaves."-Danni.

,,But you just said that he'll only leave if you go with him."

,,Yes, but I know he belongs there, he just doesn't know it."-Danni.

,,And what do you think about it?"

,,It's a nice place. I think I could like it there."-Danni.

,,Then why don't you go with him? Give it a go, you can always come back if you don't like it."

,,Okay."-Danni.

,,I've been wanting to ask you, how did he react on that about your father and all?"

,,Very good. (smiling) We talked about it for hours, he was really great about it."-Danni.

,,Good! But I have to go, Loes is getting wild." (Loes had started to run around to as far as the leash would let her, which made her leash wind around my chair).

,,I see that."-Danni (laughing about the little kitten).

,,So, just think about it and make up your mind."

,,Will do, see you."-Danni (went to the kitchen to make breakfast, that was her chore for today).

,,Come on Loes, let's get a move on. Stop that! (she now was running around me, getting me all wrapped up in the leash) I thought only dogs did that! Now come on." (walking on).
