`...` = Kally and Storm mindspeaking
The next morning, however, she woke up to find Chris's arm around her waist.
" Chris, honey, wake up," she said in a sugary voice. His arm tightened around her waist.
" Get up sleepyhead."
"Why?"
" Cause I want you to be awake when I castrate you with a spoon!!!" she shouted.
He jumped out of bed and started running. She looked for a spoon, but couldn't find one, so she got a hairclip instead. She chased after him. He ran to where the horses were tied up. Big Mistake.
" Get him Storm!" Kally shouted. Storm's head lunged forward and grabbed Chris's arm.
` What he do? ` Storm asked.
Kally told Storm. Storm let him go and started laughing. By now the whole camp was up and watching.
" What happened?" Bobbie asked.
" Kelly wants to kill me, and her stupid horse broke my arm," Chris moaned.
" What did you do?"
" I didn't do anything," Chris said.
" Yes you did!" Kally shouted.
` No he didn't` Storm said.
` Whose side are you on? ` Kally asked the horse.
` Nobody's, I'm just pointing out he didn't do anything. You humans fret about stuff like that too much`
` He had his arm around my waist!`
` He didn't actually try anything though. Just had his arm around your waist. Your acting like a silly foal.`
` Am not!`
` Are too!`
` Am not!`
` See what I mean?` Storm said smugly
Someone cleared their throat and Kally spun around. Someone was tending to Chris's arm. Bobbie and Robbie motioned for her to go with them.
" What happened?" Robbie asked.
Kally told them and, like Storm, they started laughing too.
"What?" Kally asked. She was getting really mad now; she hated it when people laughed at her.
" That is so immature! Kally, I thought a Tigress was supposed to all mature and all that other crap," Robbie said as he gasped for breath.
" Oh, poor Chris!" Bobbie gasped.
" You should apologize," Robbie said.
" Why should I have to?"
" You wanted to castrate him with a spoon!"
" Actually I was going to use a hairclip."
" That's even worse!"
" I'm not going to apologize."
" Then I guess you don't want to help his sister? We can't have petty arguments getting in the way of work."
" It won't interfere."
" You know it will."
" Fine. I'll apologize, but I won't mean a word I say."
" That's okay. As long as Chris thinks you're telling the truth."
" He believes anything."
" That's true, unfortunately."
She walked over to Chris, he was flirting with some girl and his arm was in a splint. The girl saw Kally and left, Chris turned around, his smile disappeared and was replaced by a frown.
" What do you want?" he asked rudely.
" How's the arm? Is it broken?"
" No, just sprained. It'll slow us down a bit though."
" Yeah, sorry."
" Liar"
She smiled, she couldn't help it. " Yeah, I'm liar. But I am sorry, about the arm, nothing else though."
" That's ok, I can forgive you. It must have been a shock to wake up and find a handsome guy, like myself, in your bed," he said with a smirk.
" If that's what you want to believe it's okay with me. So, how long will your arm be in that thing?"
" A couple of weeks at least. Hopefully it'll at least be out of the splint when we catch up with those mercenaries."
" Yeah, if it isn't, I can take your place,"
" But who will be the bait?"
" I am not bait, I prefer the term undercover agent."
" If that makes you happy, but that's too important of a position to ignore."
" We could switch places."
" I can't pass as a girl!"
" I'm not asking you to. Just pretend you are a prisoner. Your sister will believe you more than she will me."
" As brilliant as that plan sounds, I think we can find an excuse for a soldier to have a broken arm, besides, I think they'd like a female prisoner more then a female soldier."
" You are a pig."
" I know, that's what girls love about me," he said as he ran his good hand through his hair.
" Actually, I think they're just desperate."
" Oh come on, you liked sharing a room with me."
" I did no-" Chris silenced her with a kiss.
