To all my reviewers: I LOVE YOU ALL! Thank you for staying with me for so long. I hope you all will review on my squeal, I'm almost ready to post the first chapter of it. Again, thank you!
Arawen—Now if only the rest of my chapters were posted as quickly. I believe my plan, and your plan, co-inside, but that is saved for the squeal.
LANCELOTTRISTANBABY—Glad you liked this one to!
JoinMeInDeath13—I'm glad you still like my story! And don't worry, I shall never put my pen down!
KnightMaiden—I'm still not quite sure what to do with Will. Or what to do with the Knights. Oh dilemmas!
DarkAngelPearl-- Yes, poor Lancelot! Yes, Cynric giving them a complement was rather… odd, but I think he's starting to figure out that they're worthy warriors too. You're feeling is very right. This won't be the last time that everyone sees each other. But it may be the last time for this… particular story.
Sorceress Misha-- Sorry that this took so long to get up. I hope you like it too!
Disclaimer: I own Will. I don't own the Knights, Merik, or Doniger.
Morning came much too soon for every one except Doniger. Fortunately, Doniger could read people fairly well, and left Merik, Will, the Knights, and Cynric eat breakfast without being questioned or stared at.
For much of breakfast, the only noise was the clanking of dishes.
Finally Will put down her fork and looked over her cousin, the Knights and the Saxon. "You know… you guys drove me crazy. But I'm glad you came, however you got here."
The men looked at her, and most of them smiled.
Will smiled back, then picked up her spoon, and expertly launched a grape at Cynric. She laughed when the Saxon jerked up and glared at her. "I'm even glad you came. Even if you can't kidnap a girl properly."
"I could always make you come back with us." He said smirking at her.
Will waved her hand at him. "I'll drop by for Christmas."
Cynric arched his eyebrow. "For what?"
Arthur chucked. "It's a Christian holiday."
"Well… it's also a hallmark holiday." Said Merik after sipping his orange juice.
Arthur gave Merik a confused look, but then ignored the comment when Merik shook his head, not willing to explain.
Then, there was a nock at the door, which Merik went to answer. He spoke to who ever it was, for a couple moments before softly shutting the door, and returning to the table.
He didn't look at any of them. "They're ready to start." He said softly.
Arthur smiled weakly. "Which means we can't waste anymore time."
Once they started getting ready, talking ceased and the Knights and Cynric prepared to return to their time.
The only one who talked was Arthur who was softly answering every question that Doniger cared to throw at him.
Arthur shook Merik's hand, and gave the man a smile. "You'd make a good Knight."
Merik laughed. "Thank you. That means a lot to me."
Then Arthur turned to Will and quickly enveloped her into a hug. "I'll miss you my lady."
"I'll miss you." She said, returning the hug. "But not you." She informed Cynric who had come up behind Arthur.
Cynric rolled his eyes. "The only reason I'll miss you is because we don't have many Saxon women around. You should come back with me. I'll need a strong wife by my side."
"I'm not gonna slap you, cuz I know in some… twisted way, that was a complement."
The other goodbyes were equally hard on Will and Merik. It was also very hard on the Knights, and even Cynric.
Will brushed tears away as Bors stepped away, and onto the platform. She then turned to the last Knight and tried to smile at Lancelot.
Lancelot smiled hesitantly at Will as he walked up to say goodbye. "Well…" Suddenly Merik cleared his throat. Lancelot glanced at him, then started again. "I know I've been… less then nice to you. But… well I hope you didn't take it too seriously."
Will smiled. "Na." She shook her head. "I figured out in out first conversation that it's just your way of flirting."
Lancelot blushed slightly. "Yeah… well…"
Just then, Will leaned forward and gave Lancelot a gentle kiss on the cheek.
Lancelot looked a little surprised, and without prompting, he returned the kiss. "I wish…"
Will laughed. "Don't we all."
"So…" He smoothed back his hair. "We'll see you again?"
Will nodded. "Definitely."
Will sighed as the light from Doniger's machine faded. "It's not fair."
Merik put his arm over her shoulders. "You're right. It's not. But hey, you never no, maybe we'll see them again."
Will smiled at that. "I hope so."
The End.
