Disclaimer: You should probably have guessed by now, I own nothing except what I make up- and that's hardly going to make me rich now, is it?
Summary: I thought it would be interesting to write a Dagonet/OC romance where his love interest is beautiful. So flame me if you think it sounds Mary sueish. I happen to like my main characters being strong, warrior women. I just wanted to write this. Besides I believe women can fight just as well as men, why should it matter what she looks like?
Okay, if I miss any of my reviewers in here, I'm sorry.

Thanks! Nice to know I'm missed, poor Fen's a little messed up. I'll just cheer Daggy Waggy for now though!

Thanks! Poor Fen's all confused… she kind of has feelings for Dag but thinks he wouldn't return them because she's a used woman…

I know, poor Dag…

I feel sorry for both of them too. Thanks for the review…hey that rhymes!

I know poor, poor Dag. Fenella's just confused. I thought it fitting that only Arthur and Tristan notice. I don't like Kay either…
Aeila O'Hession
Thanks! Yes that would be depressing… Don't panic! I couldn't make my poor Dag suffer for too long! Not my Daggy! I'll fix it, don't hurt me! Please…
When Fenella woke the next morning and felt the arm draped around
her shoulders her first thought was that Adelphious was back. She lay in bed, rigid
for a few moments until she realized that the arm was more muscular than Adelphious's and she dared to open her eyes. Immediately she
saw Bedivere lying next to her and with a shock remembered the events of the night
before. It had been way better than Adelphious that was for sure, Bedivere was a
skilled loved. She took his face and muscular chest in. But instead of seeing Bedivere
she saw… Dagonet. She shook her head to dispel this thought.
This movement must have woken Bedivere because he stirred and opened his eyes. He
smiled at her.
"Good morning." He said.
"M morning." She replied, stammering slightly. Well Dagonet definitely would not care for her now, she bedded a man- willingly. Then she became angry at herself. She could do what ever she damn well pleases! Feeling only a little better she smiled.
"It's nearly time to leave." She said. Bedivere smiled.
"They can wait." He said and drew her too him.
Bedivere and Fenella walked down to the stables a little later than the rest. They received knowing smiles from Lancelot, Galahad, Gawain and Bors. Tristan was emotionless, Kay gave them a death glare and Arthur was busy talking to a Roman Legionnaire. She would have seen Dagonet looking as close to miserable as his impassive face could be before turning to his horse, but Fenella could not bring herself to look at him. Instead she gave Alain a small chunk of meat and went to work saddling Goliath. The big horse was friendly only with Fenella and Alain, though he put up with Dagonet and Tristan. The rest of the Knights kept a respectful distance away from the horse; he was a force to be reckoned with.
On the journey back to the fort she said nothing past 'Good morning' and 'Goodnight' to Dagonet. Gareth's body was burnt back at the village like he wished, and his ashes were in a vase. He wanted his ashes sprinkled all over the knights cemetery. They did this as soon as they arrived home. After this the knights went of on their own. Fenella walked over to a log and sat down, Alain stuffed his nose into her lap- sensing her sadness. She was lost in thought and didn't notice someone sitting next to her.
"Have you been avoiding me?" A familiar voice asked. She recognized it- Dagonet.
"No- no." She replied a little too quickly. "I've just been thinking." She said. They sat in companionable silence until the sun started to set.
"Well I'd best be off." Dagonet said. Fenella said good bye rather distantly, still lost in thought.
"Good luck to you and Bedivere." He said hesitantly.
"Hmn" She replied.
That night Fenella spent with Bedivere, she enjoyed it even more than her first time with him, but she kept seeing Dagonet. For the next week there were only two small skirmished with Woads, the rest of the time Fenella practiced. She practices sword play, archery and she kept Goliath fit. She had set up a few jumps made of odds and ends, and logs that she took him over. After their first skirmish Arthur decided to make some armor for Alain, for the dog followed them and joined in the fight. He was a very good fighter. The blacksmith made him a tough jerkin for his body, and a collar with long, curving steel blades for him to use as a weapon.
On their third piece of action since they arrived home Alain wore his new armor with great success. He was a hit among the Knights, and was quite spoilt as they often gave him meaty bones. Fenella renewed her friendship with Dagonet though she could not help but to feel guilty around him. She spent a lot of time with Bedivere too and became quit fond of him. He taught her how to wield an axe- something she didn't know how to do very well. And she taught him how to ride a course of jumps on his horse. This was something that caught on with the knights and she taught them all, even Kay who decided he didn't want to be left behind any of his fellow knights. She often spent time just lying on green grass with Bedivere, just talking- or kissing. She used the mixture Adelphious made her take to stop herself from becoming pregnant- that was the last thing she needed, and she spent her nights in Bedivere's room or him in hers. Eventually though their semi peaceful time was ruined, they were to go to a Romans estate on the other side of Briton.
A/N: I'm sorry if there are any mistakes but it's late and I'm tired, I just had to do another chapter though. Anyway review and tell me what you think.
