A/N- For at least this chapter all responses to reviews will be at the bottom!
Jaerel- That's because she's hoping more people will review before she gets this chapter typed! - . -
Me- I confess….


And Her Name Was-?

Chapter 7

I must say my basic plan was a success. Kent and the red head were obviously enjoying each other's company. Basically, now that they'd calmed down and weren't breathing so hard from the scare. We were all very pleased about this. Even Jaerel had complimented me, I was thinking about inviting her for…a walk…later. Serra had once again kissed Erk, that lucky mage, and he seemed very happy about it. Wil was chattering about what would happen next.

I glanced at Florina, who was sitting near the exit on the same side as Jaerel and Serra, I assumed it was to be as far away from the men as possible, but who knew? The best way would be to find out…
Matthew beat me to it. "Florina," He said, moving closer to her, causing her to flatten herself against the loft wall, "You really should come have a look!"

"Um…er…no…that's ok…I don't…um…like…heights?" She lied.

"Oh please!" Jaerel giggled, "You fly everyday! Don't even try to make us believe that! You just don't want to be so close to everyone!"

"N-no! It's just that-!" The Peg knight began. But she stopped when Matthew was suddenly sitting directly next to her. Instead of finishing her sentence she yelped slightly and inched away.

"Oh come on! Just take a look!" Matthew said smiling, he grabbed her by the wrist and squeezed her in between Jaerel and Wil. She didn't look to happy, but she didn't protest…. too loudly. I just sat back thinking that next time I'd have to be faster…or maybe I'd just head up to Ilia and find myself a different Peg knight…I wondered if they were all that meek and pretty…

There was a rather loud cracking sound. Everyone, including those below, looked up in surprise. I peered over the edge and noticed Kent's eyes widen. He stood and coaxed the spy lady to move to the other side of the barn. She also looked up and didn't seem to want to protest, as she got quickly to her feet and followed him. I wondered why. It was sort of strange; did one of the horses break something? I looked over, no…everything seemed ok…so what was it?

The platform we were all piled upon suddenly seemed to slat in at both sides. I wondered why for a moment, that was, until I noticed a few of the support beams fall to the ground. We were all piled on the loft, and it was breaking.

"Don't tell me that was-" Matthew started.

"Oh St. Elimine help us…" Erk murmured.
"Everyone! Move already!" Jaerel cried out, trying to get up to move us to the back of the cracking loft. She was too tightly wedged where she lay to get up and away from the cracking edge.

Too late. The remaining support beams, the platform, some hay bales and all of us who'd been crowding up there came crashing down fifteen feet to the hard dirt floor below. I could feel Jaerel's head hit my chest, knocking the air out of me momentarily. Erk had managed to shelter Serra from the bulk of the fall, Matthew had done just about the same for Florina, Wil was sprawled over both Jaerel's and Serra's legs. It, was painful. Oh in the name of Roland it was painful. If I hadn't broken my back then I must have broken something… or maybe it was just because I was at the bottom of the pile…Anyway, something hurt like it was nobody's business.

There was a lot of laughing from the far side of the barn. For two people they sure made a lot of noise. Those of us who had been in the loft were groaning in pain, Erk was asking Serra if she was ok and she was whimpering about refined ladies who shouldn't be in lofts (which created a few more groans from surrounding people) Florina was crying and Matthew was doing a very bad job of calming her down. I was in pain. If I hadn't been in pain, I'd probably have thought that this was extremely funny. Kent sure seemed to. As I opened my eyes, his smiling face filled my whole view.

"Sain, Sain, Sain, Sain, Sain…..My dear Sain. You are certainly not the brightest knight in all of Caelin." Kent barely managed to say before he regained enough composure to glare at me pointedly.

I smiled back, the pain seeming to lessen, "Ah Kent, I knew that before I even entered the loft!"

"Yeah, no kidding…" Jaerel groaned, trying to get off me, then failing and letting her head fall hard on my chest, knocking yet more wind out of me.

I looked over past Kent's face (in which it was evident that he was working hard at not laughing) and saw that the Red haired spy was doubled over laughing on the other side of the barn, she collapsed on the floor because she was laughing so far. I heard Matthew yell a quick, "Oh be quiet!" Before he went back to trying to calm the sniffling Florina.

Kent was shaking his head I decided it was time to point out the obvious, "But my plan did work you know!" I said with a wide grin.

"Oh that doesn't even matter! You got us all into a big mess because of your silly plans!" Serra yelled. Erk was having trouble keeping from laughing at this statement. I believe Wil was as well.

Kent glared some, "Who says it did? And what, pray tell, WAS your plan, Sain?"

It was my turn to laugh; I wasn't going to tell him. Kent was a sensitive chap, easy to embarrass and quick to apologize. I didn't want him to be haunted with this for the rest of his life….not really. He WAS the one who said he'd planned on dying in the service of Caelin…I didn't think teasing him in front of half the army was such a great idea, even if they did all know about the whole plan anyway.

"Really you two!" Serra said, huffily, "I don't see what's so funny! You got us into this mess, now how are you going to get us out?"

"Oh, you can't see the humor here either?" Jaerel sighed, attempting and failing to get up yet again, causing me yet more pain.

"Don't you though?" The red head laughed, finally able to pick herself up off the floor and come near the rest of the group. Suddenly a totally unrelated topic hit me;

"Hey! What's your name?" I asked her. She blinked at me, surprised.

"Who, me?"

"NO! Don't tell him!" Matthew hissed.

"Hey!" I yelled in protest. Honestly, why didn't he want me to know? I just wanted to know…and yet he'd been keeping her name from me since the first time my selective memory had missed it.

"You know Sain, I don't think it matters right now." Kent said, sighing deeply and standing up, "Right now we have a bigger problem on our hands."

"Oh, what's that?" I asked, acting innocent.

"For one, we're all trapped here in the barn and all the doors are locked and there is no one outside to let us out. Secondly-" But he was cut off

"Oh….Crap…" I could feel my eyes get big, he was right. We were all down here…and the locks were out there…

"SAIN!" Half the loft-dwellers yelled at me, most of them whacking me with their working limbs.

"What?" I asked, dodging a few of the later hits.

"You're so stupid!" Serra yelled, clinging to Erk.

"I agree." Jaerel groaned, "I think I broke my leg because of you!"

Oh well! We'd get out of there eventually, right? And besides, the plan had basically worked! What more did they want? It wasn't my fault they'd been in the loft in the first place…was it? Noticing that the tactician still lay on my chest I wrapped my arms around her shoulders, "Besides, we've got time!" She slapped me. Hard. It hurt.

THE END!


A/N- Ok, so this sort of turned from a story about Leila and Kent to a story about a loft and an evil plan! LOL! Yeah, the ending was a little abrupt. I hope no one breaks their computers because of it…heh….If you all want me to I may write a sequel (after all, this was a lot of fun and someone's gotta fix that loft! HAHA!) I've gotta thank everyone who said that the loft should break (there were a lot of you O.O;) It helped me SO much! Till you said that I didn't know HOW I was going to end this fic! LOL!

Iyessence- WOW! Really? . I'm so proud of myself! That chapter WAS pretty good, huh/folds arms and nods head, then gets whacked by muses for being immodest/ You do notice the oddest things O.O;; Swy about Leila, but you know, she's REALLY hard to get into character! I'm also sorry if this didn't satisfy your want for a Leila/Kent fic, it turned out to be a bit…lofty, didn't it/laughs at self/

Fire-Emblem-Girl- YEA! I'm so glad you liked the last chapter! Yes, Florina rocks my known world! She's really powerful, but you've gotta start using her from the very beginning! If you start her strong in Lyn's story (get her to at LEAST level 7 before you end Lyn's story) She can totally blow your mind! I used ONLY Falco Knights (mostly Florina, but some of her sisters too) to beat both Nergal AND the Dragon! ... It was awesome...

Kitty Merow- It isn't hard to train her! Just check out what I said in Fire-Emblem-Girl's response! That's pretty much the best way…you've got to have her as a 20/20. Otherwise you don't have the most uber unit I've ever seen! (NO magic hurts her! WAHAHA!) ...Raven is so hard to use…I try to avoid him…and most sword users...except for supports! I like his and Lucius's ending! I really like those two, even if they are both male -;;;

Lemurian 04- I hope you liked this one! Sorry that this is the end… I didn't want to go on forever….heh… But I really hope this lived up to your standards, even if it was short…. I'm so glad you like my story/feels all warm and fuzzy inside/
