Disclaimer: I don't quite understand why I have to do this again but I
don't own any of the characters or the places I just own this plot line
which I have created over long periods of time!

I see the way you seem to be looking at Dom" Neal spoke in a softer voice in case of listeners, " I know what's going on here, your in love with him..."
"Its nothing," Kel replied her voice matching Neal's evenly, "I look at him the same way I would look at you".
"Well you used to look at me differently actually," Neal said realization coming over his face, "were you in love with me a long time ago".
"That depends what kind of love you are talking about," Kel responded tartly " I fall in love as easily as Peachblosom speaks to a sparrow".
Neal's face looked grim he had never realized that Kel, his best friend was ever really like a girl, falling in love. This was to much to cope with for now. "G-night Kel", Neal said faking a yawn, " see you in the morning"
"Hey," Kel said as Neal began to walk away, "is it really all that obvious?"
He turned his head and responded " no not unless you have known you as long as I have".
"oh" she said and walked off to bed a lot on her mind.

The next day all was quite in New Hope, a thick blanket of snow covered the ground like a down quilt. Clouds ahead provided a forecast for the rest of the day..
"Blizzards", Kel retorted, " why cant they just stay away from us it make s life so much harder".
"Well," Dom replied, " I think they do stop the enemy from crossing the border". His cheerful tone seemed slightly out of place for a topic so gloomy as the enemy, tough he always could make anything sound happy Kel thought open to the humor.
"Don't count on it Dom," Owen replied grimly. Since his ordeal was soon to come and the "Stump" as Neal called him felt Owen needed more training in humility which he was sure to receive working with the refugees.
"And why not", Dom inquired, "I thought they didn't attack in the snow, I've never seen them in the winter either".
"Well," Owen retorted, " I wouldn't put it pass them and I can always hope for a jolly fight in this dull place"
"Why don't you join one of the combat competitions" Kel said, " you would probably enjoy the hand to hand combat this evening"
"I would feel so bad," Owen said, " they don't have the training that we have".
"I wouldn't put it past them," Dom remarked, " they are really good at street fighting".
"Why don't you enter then," Owen asked jokingly, " they would probably beat you in any case..."
What's gotten in to Owen, Kel thought, he never acts like that, well once but that was when he was trying to impress some lady at court. What is he playing at I can only sit and wonder.
" Maybe I should just to prove it to you," Dom responded to the question with a hint of anger Kel had never seen before.
"Dom, Owen what's gotten into you two," Kel said, " your acting like two love sick idiots".
"Oh nothing just a little friendly competition" Owen said with a false cheerfulness, under his breath he muttered, "over a certain lady who shall remain nameless".
"What did you say", Dom inquired his politeness a little to proper for friends, "it sounded to be aimed at me"
"Ok you two," giving Owen a look that would break glass, " think maybe I should go, Neal said that we needed to talk any way". Kel turned around and walked away leaving the other two alone standing on a wall.
***###***##***###***###***###***###***###***
Dom and Owen stood there in shock as Kel disappeared around a corner on her way to the infirmary. "Why did you start that fight in the first place", Dom yelled when they were sure Kel was out of ear shot.
"You don't have the right to court her you aren't of noble blood your just a Sargent", Owen replied angrily.
"What are you talking about..", Dom was really confused, " who am I courting?".
"Kel of course", Owen replied hotly, " I see the way you look at her and only nobles should date other nobles".
"Great Mithros man", Dom said shaking his head, "did you miss something somewhere along the line cause I am of noble blood lines, I only chose to be a Sargent because I didn't want to be a knight".
"Well still stay away from her you hear me", Owen said his temper very sharp.
"Are you in love with Kel?" Dom asked his voice sounding shocked, "no you can't be your younger than her, your to young to fall in love just in general."
"Really, age never seemed to stop Lady Alanna or Cleon, why should it matter to me", Owen was starting to consider that it was time to shut up but his mouth seemed to have had other plans.
"Little one its just a crush I'm sure you will be coming after some other lady in at least two weeks", Dom said , " now when you said that I couldn't court her what gave you the idea I even wanted to?"
"You think nobody sees the way you look at her the way you act around her you can be worse than a love sick puppy sometimes", Owen laughed as he remembered the night before and added, "you also talk about it in your sleep just in case you didn't notice on your own you must have some really great dreams". "Why do you bother to listen as to what I have to say while I'm not awake now to be totally honest the stump left Kel, Neal, Merric and I in charge of you while you're here", Dom said kindly(almost to kindly), "you don't want me to have to vote for you to spend a couple days camping out of the grounds to you".
I'm really sorry you guys that I didn't continue this story sooner but now I will finish it and do the other one so I hope you are looking forward to the next update!!!!!!!
