Here is my first very first FE fic! Currently, I am going through this story and editing all of the chapters. I plan to fix up spelling errors, problems with the spacing, etc.

Chapter One
It was a beautiful morning in Pherae. The sun was shining, the sky was a clear blue, and there was not a cloud in the sky. This beautiful weather, of course, meant that something strange was going to happen.
Eliwood's entire army was spending a few days in Pherae after a tiring journey to the Nabata Desert. Everyone was exhausted, and was enjoying the break. They had already spent three days sleeping, stuffing their faces with Eliwood's mom's cooking, and other various activities.
Kent was the first awake that morning. He knew that if he slept in, he would get into a bad habit of waking up late every day, even when he needed to get up early. And besides, waking up late would ruin his image - especially since Sain was the latest sleeper in the entire army. Doing anything remotely like Sain was something Kent could not allow.
Kent had known Sain forever, and they'd always been complete opposites. While Kent was serious and always put his duties first, Sain was care-free and just wanted to have fun. And Sain had the notorious habit of flirting with every single woman he saw. Almost all of Sain's traits annoyed Kent. He didn't know why he still hung around Sain. Deep down, Kent just didn't want Sain to get into too much trouble. But he would never tell anybody this.
Soon, other members of the army were waking up. Lowen and Rebecca came downstairs to help Lady Eleanora make breakfast, and Merlinus followed them into the kitchen, claiming that he needed to 'taste test' everything they prepared. The two paladins Marcus and Isadora went outside to train. Canas almost fell down the stairs because his nose was in a book. Heath was feeding his wyvern, Hyperion, and Rath was taking care of his horse. Lyn and Hector were sparring with each other. Oswin was watching them, yelling at Hector to be careful. Guy was trying to convince Matthew to spar with him, but was being ignored. Matthew was still mad because the Black Fang had killed Leila, so he was suspiciously eyeing Legault, who was suspiciously eyeing Matthew for...suspiciously eyeing him. Wil was shooting arrows at a target.
Then came the latecomers. Lucius the monk arrived, after saying his endless morning prayers. Most of the girls – Priscilla, Serra, Fiora, Florina, and Louise – had been busy brushing their hair for the last hour. Raven came down right after his sister, obviously trying to follow her around. Pent also came down, following his wife, Louise. Bartre, Dorcas, Dart, and Hawkeye were digging into the now ready breakfast.
The only people who had not come downstairs yet were Eliwood (who was still depressed about his father dying), Ninian (depressed for some unknown reason), Nils (who was waiting for Ninian, thinking she would come out of her room eventually), and Erk (who was hiding from Serra). And then, of course, there was Sain. Sain didn't didn't really have a good excuse for not coming downstairs except that he had been up late last night spying on the girls' sleepover party to find out if any of them 'fancied' him. Kent decided to go wake him up.
Kent had been the unfortunate roommate of Sain since they had first started traveling with Eliwood's group. Whoever made the rooms must have figured that since they had worked together so much, they would enjoy rooming together. Kent knew this assumption was definitely untrue.
Kent banged on the door of his and Sain's room.
"Sain! Wake up! It's already past ten!"
"Huh? What?" cried Sain's groggy voice from the other side of the door.
Kent sighed with frustration. "Sain, get out of bed already. You can't do this every single day. It's not good for you."
"Who are you, my mother?" groaned Sain. "I need my...um...beauty sleep!"
"That's just...disturbing, Sain," said Kent. "I told you that you shouldn't have stayed up late spying on those girls."
"But they're all so beautiful!" cried Sain. "And – hey, wait a minute, how did you know about that?"
"You weren't exactly quiet when you left the room last night," Kent replied, rolling his eyes. "Just get up – Lowen, Rebecca, and Lady Eleanora made pancakes."
"Oh boy! Pancakes!"
Kent heard a series of loud banging and crashing sounds, and a minute later, Sain emerged from the room, looking completely unkempt.
Without another word, Sain raced past Kent and down the stairs. Kent saw that Sain had left their room in total disarray. The same room that Kent had spent hours cleaning up yesterday.
"Sain!! You'll be cleaning that up later!!!" he yelled after the long-gone cavalier, who did not hear him at all.
When Kent came back into the dining room, everyone was seated around the long table, eating breakfast and talking loudly. Sain was already flirting with Rebecca.
"This is delicious, my dear! It is as if an angel cooked it!" he was gushing to the green-haired girl. Rebecca just rolled her eyes.
"How does he know angels are good cooks?" muttered Lowen, feeling neglected since Rebecca was receiving all of the praise for making breakfast.
"Angels are good cooks?" cried Nils loudly. Everyone ignored him. Apparently he had given up on waiting for Ninian for the time being.
Kent realized that the only empty seat was next to Sain. He sighed and then sat down. Even if he was not feeling friendly towards Sain today, he was hungry.
After breakfast, Kent was even more annoyed at Sain. Sain had decided to flirt with Priscilla after he was done with Rebecca, and had therefore gotten Raven angry. Now Raven was after Sain, and Sain had turned his attention to Serra.
Serra had declared that if Sain could find orange bananas, then she would like him. Sain had proceeded to destroy the kitchen looking for an orange banana. Then Raven had found Sain, and not only was the kitchen even further destroyed, but Sain was bruised all over the place. Serra wouldn't heal him because he couldn't find an orange banana, and Raven wouldn't let Priscilla heal him. Kent got stuck putting band aids on Sain.
Later, while Kent was actually holding an intelligent conversation with Fiora, the Pegasus knight, Sain had come over. He had started telling Fiora all of these embarrassing stories about Kent from way back in the training days at Castle Caelin. He also told Fiora about how Kent had a crush on Lyn a year ago when they had first met her (which Kent had gotten over about two weeks later, but Sain didn't mention this part). Kent had to excuse himself before he almost killed Sain.
But the worst part came towards the end of the day, when Kent had just returned from riding. Sain was trying to flirt with Louise, who was married. Kent could not believe his eyes. Even Sain was better than that! Or was he? Kent made his way towards Sain.
"You are the most beautiful creature who has ever walked on two legs, milady," Sain was saying as Kent approached. "We would make a wonderful pa- "
"Sain! What are you doing!" yelled Kent when he reached them. Louise looked a bit relieved.
"I have to go find my husband!" she exclaimed, and ran off.
"Y-your husband???" cried Sain, turning bright red.
"Don't tell me you were too stupid not know that Louise was married to Lord Pent!" Kent yelled.
"I had no idea! She is so young, and so beautiful! I just thought – "
"Don't give me any of your fool excuses, Sain," said Kent angrily. "You have to stop this flirting with girls all of the time. It is inappropriate behavior and you have taken it too far."
"You're such a spoil-sport, Kent!" cried Sain. "I just made an honest mistake! I'm just trying to have some fun because everyone is so uptight around here. Especially you! All you care about is that everyone is perfect and never has any fun!"
"That's not true!" Kent replied, but he knew it was a lie. "I'm never going to understand you, Sain – you always put your own pleasure first before anything else."
"Well, I'll never understand you, either!" yelled Sain. "How you can always be so serious! I'm just trying to make life funner!"
"More fun," Kent corrected him.
"See, now you're even correcting my grammar!" cried Sain. "I don't know how I can stand people like you, Kent!"
"Well, I don't know how I can stand people like you, Sain," Kent shot back.
And with that, they both stomped off in opposite directions.
And neither of them saw, but an old woman's figure stepped out from behind a bush. She cackled as she saw the two angry figures parting ways. She had big plans for them...
Well, that's that for Chapter One!
