Chap 3: That boy from Kennan

Cleon walked through the palace gates at 3 in the morning. He rushed through unpacking and caring for his horse, so he could go see Kel (HAHA! Our big friend is gonna get his heart broken apart with a sledgehammer!) On his way to her rooms he ran into a beaming Neal. "Hey Cleon! Did you hear the news? Me and Yukimi are getting married!" he exclaimed

"I didn't until now! Congratulations!" Cleon said joyfully "I'm just on my way to see Kel. I'll talk to you later!"

Cleon walked away grinning. He always knew that one day his friend would settle down with a girl and stop mooning over any beautiful palace girl who could walk and talk. Yuki was so lucky. He hadn't managed yet to get his mother to let him marry Kel but he knew he would eventually. When he finally reached Kel's rooms he checked his hair and knocked. "Who is it?" Kel's voice called from inside the room. The sound of her voice made Cleon smile.

"It's Cleon!" he called back

Kel opened the door and Cleon caught his breath. Maybe other men wouldn't look upon Kel as beautiful but he undoubtedly did. She smiled and he caught her in a huge hug. "I missed you so much, Kel!" he whispered into her hair.

"Me too." Kel said forcing the words out

"I have to go get ready for Neal's bachelor party, but I couldn't go without seeing you." With these words Cleon bent over, gave her a long kiss, and then sauntered away.

Kel retreated into her room and shut the door. She had been happy to see Cleon, but she only thought of him as a friend until he had kissed her......wait Cleon kissed her and now she loved him? Was she being hopelessly fickle again? Oh well. She thought about it and she still loved Neal a lot more than she did Cleon. She was startled out of her thoughts by a knock on her door. She got up and opened it to find Yukimi. "Oh, hullo Yukimi! Come in!" Kel said hiding her dismay that it wasn't Neal at her door.

"Kel, are you not happy that Neal and I are getting married?" Yuki said.

"No not at all!" Kel said trying to sound offended at the thought.

"It's just that, when we told you yesterday it seemed like you weren't" Yukimi said trying to voice her thoughts appropriately.

"NO!" Kel said sounding a little more offended this time "I just was thinking about how Cleon and I will probably never be able to get married."

"Oh yeah, because he needs to marry a wealthy heiress to help Queenscove get through the seasons." Yuki said truly sad for her friend

Cleon walked into the Dancing Dove, where Neal's bachelor party was to be held. Neal had made it clear, there were to be no naked woman jumping out of cakes at this party! Cleon still planned to enjoy himself, and he had planned a little surprise for Neal...... Neal was at the center of the party surrounded by his friends Merric, Roald, Faleron, Dom, Owen, Esmond, and Seaver. They all greeted Cleon as he went to get two brandies, one for himself and one for Neal. "He's had four already!" muttered Merric as Cleon passed Neal a brandy.

About an hour later Cleon rolled out a giant pie and, out jumped a pretty flowerseller from the rouge. "Cleon! I thought I told you there would be no naked woman jumping out if cakes!" Neal screamed in fury

"It's not a cake! It's a pie!" Cleon said laughing uncontrollably.

"Want to dance?" the flowerseller asked Neal

"Sure!" Neal said and got up and started doing the can-can with the naked woman.

All the guys rolled over in wild laughter as Neal did the can-can, disco, do-se-do, and several break dancing moves all around the room.

Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!! I'm enjoying writing this! If you think I'm a freak, well that's too bad for you! It just so happens that I'm not a freak, I'm insane. Well if you think that Yuki and Neal don't belong together, go put on a full suit of armor, stand on the top of a hill in a lightning storm, and scream "all gods are bastards" at the top of your lungs! In the next chapter...

Cleon wants to marry Kel but he doesn't have a dime/ Neal and Yuki's wedding, its almost time!/ Kel thinks she and Cleon should break up/ Yuki goes to buy some make up/ Neal gets a hangover/ Why don't Tortallans have a Range Rover?
