A/N: EGHEGEG. My internet is down, has been down since Friday, the…eleventh, I think. Anyway, sometime close to that.

And we got it back sometime. I Can't remember. .

Anyway (again) I have another chappie for you. Like THE OTHER ONE!

I thought so. 3

Well, continuing:

And no, I don't have anything against slash. Slash is actually pretty spiffy. But Neal…Is just not the slash type. …Yeah…

Oh. Disclaimer. Well, I don't own anything. This title belongs to Franz Ferdinand. Found it in the song…uh…one of his songs, anyway. 3

Chapter Ten: We Could Be Laughing Lovers!

(Ian's POV)

She was standing in the middle of the clearing, long brown hair flowing in the breeze, her magnificent dark blue dress was hugging her sweet curves and made her hair seem…bluer.

I hopped off Kyso energetically, barely holding in my emotions. I couldn't wait to see her; I couldn't believe that she was here, now. But I ran over to the girl, hugging her close and tight. She laughed softly at my motion, in turn wrapping her arms around me and hugging me back.

My eyes ran over the intricate lacings of the dress as I pulled away slightly. The Dark blue changing darker and lighter as she moved around, the dress was woven with silver at the sides and was the finest silk that could be gotten.

"Did you do it, Gwen?" I questioned softly, pulling the girl closer again.

(Neal)

A night went by, dreamless night.

I woke up with not too much on my mind-I was in a hazy blur as I got up in the morning. Mornings did that to me. But hey, not everyone can be a morning person.

I stumbled over to the bathroom, going over to the sink. Quickly I splashed some of the water in it on my face, cringing slightly as the cold water awakened my body.

But then again, warm water wouldn't be so effective, would it? I was now fairly awake and getting ready to go out.

Oh.

Snapping my fingers together quickly, my outfit changed from what I usually wore- I forgot to change yesterday- into something simple.

I slipped on a dark grey T-shirt sort-of-thing, with a picture of a wolf on it. Dom got me this as a joke for my birthday. Trust me; you don't want to know the story behind this. I chuckled slightly to myself, remembering the whole story behind the shirt. Anyway, for pants I pulled on some black pants-too big for me.

Alright, so maybe I didn't look as nice as I did, but today I was feeling particularly lazy-not too caring about my looks. I know, I know, shocking. Go Cry about it.

I sighed now, remembering my mum.

Believe it or not, I used to dress like this all the time.

That was before mum got so…

Demanding.

Before Queenscove wasn't doing so good, before I had to stop whatever I was doing at the Palace and be a scholar. But that had only brought me hell.

I stopped doing the things I liked to be doing-besides reading, I only got more attached to that; and had to stop wearing the things that I preferred, what I was accustomed to. And because I had to leave, I never got a chance to meet Kel, to be with her.

…Unless I drove her crazy, which, as Dom tells me, I tend to do.

Both girls and boys-though with the boys, nowhere near the same way.

Anyway, so my mum made my life hell. Though I suppose I shouldn't blame her too much for it.

…Whatever.

Shaking my head softly, I walked out of the house, shoving my hands in the pockets as I walked around, wondering where Damien was.

"Of course I did it." Came her quick reply. I smiled. "Good." Gwen of Eagle's Peak. Had a nice ring to it.

I pulled away form her slightly.

"So you got rid of my brother, I take it?"

"Yes."

I opened my mouth to speak again, but she continued.

"Yes, It's where no one will care to look." I nodded smiling wider at my Gwen. That's what I liked about her. She could do anything, and was so strong. And yet, I could take care of her. Perfect.

I pulled her close again, for I might not be able to see her for a while. Kel was getting suspicious, when I left her for hours at a time, returning freshly clean, although now I dry off before. But it's getting harder to produce lies about why I'm gone…

I shook my head.

"Gwen, love…" I trailed off, stroking her hair softly. She looked up at me, seemingly knowing that something bad was coming next.

"I can't- I probably can't see you again for a while, it will ruin the whole thing if Kel find-"Gwen's sharp remark cut him off.

"Well, We don't let the girl find out, now will we?"

I smiled and shook my head softly. "I must depart, Kel is getting anxious. Dear god, the woman can't bear to part from me for two minutes!" I gave Gwen a quick kiss before going over to Kyso and hopping up on her getting ready to go.

"Bye, Love…" Gwen whispered softly, a tear streaking down her cheek as Ian rode away.
