Warning: This story takes place in our time period and in ancient Greece... It's a bit confusing but you'll soon see what I mean. I've made it pretty obvious who the characters are but if you get stuck on one that you can't figure out don't be afraid to ask. There is also no subtext. This is my first Xena fic so please let me know what you think.

CHAPTER 7

"Come on Hunter let's eat I'm starting to get hungry!", Serena said impatiently.

Irene looked down to her daughter, silently asking her not to make a scene. Lena looked at her with a raised eyebrow and pursed her lips. She decided it wouldn't be worth it anyway to make a scene and told her mother with her eyes that she wouldn't do anything drastic. She then smiled and rose,

"Right this way", she said and led them to a table.

"Do you know what you guys want or do you need sometime to decide?", Lena asked slightly impatient and ready to throw up by the way Serena was playing with Hunters hair.

"Um... I think we'll start off with one vanilla milkshake and two straws, right Huntsie?", Serena asked sweetly.

Hunter gulped down hard at the mention of the name and looked crazily over to Serena. Lena bit her lip and tried as hard as she could not to giggle in front of Hunter.

"One vanilla shake... with two straws commin' up", she said smirking her way back to the kitchen.

"They're making me sick", Elle exclaimed looking over at the one sided couple.

"Tell me about it... but what can we do about it?", Lena asked not really caring while she made the shake.

"The question is... What can YOU do about it?", Ellesaid smirking at Lena.

"What are you talking about shorty?", Lena asked laughing at Elle's expression of her "short" comment.

"Well-", Elle started.

"What she ment was that you need to get your butt back with him! You know you LOVE him!", Evie finished laughing.

"I told you I don't love him anymore!", Lena lied turning away from her friends slightly.

"Lena you don't have to lie... It's okay to still like Hunter. He's a great and extremely handsome guy, and you're a beautiful, talented, not to mention lethal girl", Elle smirked at her and Evie giggled. "You guys were practically made for each other!", she finished trying to reassure Lena.

"You guys just don't get it!", Lena said storming out of the diner and walking out to the back.

"I don't need all of this in my life right now!", she said out loud.

Besides being the things Elle kindly said about her she also had sharp senses, so when she heard the door behind her shut quietly with the following of semi-light footsteps she decided not to over react at her friends "help."

"Elle I said I don't want to talk about it!", Lena said not turning around.

"I'm sure she doesn't either... but I do", said a voice behind her that definitely wasn't Elle's.
