Me: I see I have a review. Time to update.

Serra: Good! I wanna see what me & Canas do!!

Canas: --sigh--

Me: Quit whining. Read & Review!

Ch.3

"What is it?" asked Serra.

"I...I'm sorry," Canas replied.

Serra looked at him and giggled. Canas looked confused. "For what, silly?" she said.

"I was hiding from you today. I shouldn't have....and....well, I want to start over. You said you wanted to be my friend remember?"

"What?.... Oh, that!" Serra piped up. She giggled again. "Erk avoids me aaalllll the time. I'm pretty much used to it."

"Yes, well, I'm not used to avoiding people!" Canas raised his voice. Just slightly. "Tomorrow morning, we're starting over! I'll treat you like a friend!"

A big fat grin spread across Serra's face. She didn't say anything. Instead she got up and ran for her tent, jumping for joy, squealing "YAAAAYY!"

Canas sighed and smiled. He felt so much better....

The next day

Canas was the first one to wake up that morning. He decided to use this time to read. He walked down to the lake, sat under a tree, and read the book he was holding. The sun was just rising. About an hour later, he could see Serra skipping toward him. He closed his book and stood up.

"Good mornin', Canas...." she said sleepily.

"You sound tired. You should get back to bed...."

"YAWN No, it's ok. I had a bad dream."

"Oh....mind telling me what it was about?"

"Well...Erky didn't really care, so ok! Well, it started off with Erky chasing me. He had a Forblaze book, and he was acting like his normal self to everyone but me. I was running, running, running, but I wasn't going anywhere! So he was catching up to me, and he started chanting the spell. Then you got in the way and deflected the spell, but you got hurt, so did Erk, and I woke up."

"..." Canas said.

"We can do the dot-dot-dot thing-"

"I don't know what to say," Canas said.

"Well, you should say something!" Serra proclaimed. "Sheesh!" She sniffed the air. "C'mon! I smell breakfast. Let's go!"

I guess a little food may make me feel better.... he thought. I didn't eat anything yesterday....

They got their food and got back under the tree. Then he heard an oh-so-familiar voice....

"Beautiful Serra, where are you?"

"Oh, flux...." Canas murmured.

Sain was on his horse. He grabbed Serra by the arm and pulled her on to the steed.

"Come, Serra! Let us feast together!"

"Ummmmm....actually, I was already sitting with someone...."

"Well, too bad."

"Nooooooo!" Serra yelled. Canas covered his ears.

"Now, Serra, it's just for this morning," Sain shouted over Serra's squealing.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!"

Isadora walked over to see what the commotion was. She could see Serra sitting on the horse, pouting. She saw Canas sitting on the ground. He glanced over at Isadora.

"Sain," Canas said, but Isadora could hear him.

"What?!" yelled. Sain. Canas pointed behind him.

"ACK!" he yelled. He took Serra off the horse. Serra looked at him and stuck out her tongue.

"Isadora!" yelled Sain. "I-"

"What's going on?" Isadora asked angrily.

"I-"

"He was just asking if Serra wanted to sit with him," Canas spoke up.

"Well, what was with the screaming?"

"...His horse was sitting on her hand and he didn't know. But she's okay now. Sain was going to take her to the healers' tent."

"Ah," Isadora remarked. She walked away.

"Thank you Canas," Sain said gratefully. Canas smiled and continued to eat his breakfast.

"Whew!" Serra said once Sain was gone. I didn't want to sit with that creep!"

Me: There's Ch.3. Sorry it's short. I'm not supposed to be on computer....

Sain: Serra's mine....

Serra: smooth move. I don't think Isadora likes you....

????: Sain! I saw everything that happened!

Sain: Isadora?

Me: You'll find out next chapter. Please-

Canas: Do you honestly have to say it? I want to say it! Read & Review! HA!

Me: Yeah, whatever....
