Six month later, the Queen had announced that they were finally free from the dark warriors. The left over warriors wondering about the earth were put into jail facilities and launched back to their planet. Still the Queen was not sure that the dark warriors were gone for good so they started up a new force of protectors.

"Your highness may I demonstrate the new weaponry for our Jedi knights," says Wesley. The Queen on her throne nods her head. Entering the throne room are the new Jedi knights decked out with the most enhance weaponry design by Wesley and his assistance, Fred. Connor is one of the Jedi's who entered the room. He smiles at the Queen and she smiles back.

"Very impressive," says the Queen. Wesley and Fred turn towards the Queen.

"It's not about looks, although they are stunning outfits," says Wesley.

"Have they been tested?" ask the Queen.

"Yes."

"I say they're pretty good," says Faith standing beside the Queen. "Can I have one of those?" Some people laugh at Faith's comment.

"It's great," says the Queen. "See that all Jedi knights are prepared and trained to use these new weapons."

"Yes, your highness," says Wesley as he bows before the Queen and heads out of the throne room.

A couple minutes later, the Queen stands near a corner in the hall way waiting for someone. Then someone approaches her and she gives this person a big smile. The Queen walks over to him and pulls him into a room near by. She then begins to kiss the person and he wraps his arms around her tightly.

"We can't keep doing this," says Connor taking a quick breathe as Dawn kisses him again. "Someone is going to find out eventually. Especially someone like Giles."

"Don't worry," replies Dawn as she pushes off her heavy royal robe. "No one will find out." Dawn continues to kiss Connor all around his face. "Anyways I've got it cover."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive. Stop worrying so much and stop being afraid of Giles. I'm not."

"That's easy for you to say. You're not the guy in this relationship. I'll always get blame for any problems we'll have."

"No you won't."

"Is the Queen in her quarters?" ask Giles from the hall way. Dawn and Connor hear him walk down the hall way. The two look at each other.

"See," says Connor looking at Dawn. She nods her head and picks up her robe from the ground. "What are you going to do?"

"Look a balcony," says Dawn.

"Oh no you don't," says Connor pulling her away from the balcony. Dawn turns around to face him. "That's too dangerous. You could fall."

"I'll make sure I won't," says Dawn as she pops kisses Connor and wraps her robe on. She climbs the balcony railing and reaches to the side. "Go stall Giles."

Meanwhile in the Queens quarters, her servants are brushing the Queens hair. Giles enters the room and observes the room for a while. He walks over to the Queen who has her back toward him. She raises her hand to signal Giles to stop.

"Giles!" says Connor barging in. Giles quickly turns around to Connor.

"What is it Connor?" ask Giles.

"Um," says Connor as he sees Dawn enter the room from her balcony and quietly switch places with her servant look a like. "I want to ask you if you were free um after my training with Angel. I wanted you to show me that cool move you do."

"Is that all?" ask Giles. Dawn gives him an okay signal as her servants resume to comb her hair.

"Yeah, ah that was it," says Connor.

"And you couldn't wait because?"

"Does anyone know how to knock," says Dawn as she turns around to look at Giles and Connor. "I would really appreciate if you guys could learn how to do that."

"Sorry," they both say at the same time.

"Dawn I wanted to tell that there is going to be a conference in mid town and the towns people have hoped that you would attend," says Giles. Dawn gets up from her chair.

"I actually get to get out of the palace," says Dawn.

"Yes."

"And you're not worried."
"No."

"Is there a catch to all this because I better hear it now before I go."

"There is no catch. It will be most of the towns people and you will be guarded by Faith and Cordelia. And your servants of course."

"Okay, you can't change your mind right now. I'm going." Giles smiles as Dawn sits down. "At what time is this conference."

"Today at noon. Be prepare. It's rather warm outside."

"Duh, it's summer. Could you tell Tara to come over. I need to speak with her."

"Sure."

"Sounds like a interesting event," says Connor.

"You're not going," says Giles as he turns around to face him.

"Why not?"

"Didn't you want to learn those moves? They are going to take more than ten minutes." Giles puts his arm around Connor and the two walk out of Dawn's room.

A couple minutes later Tara enters Dawn's room. Dawn turns around and hugs Tara. Tara is confuse and sits down next to Dawn.

"What's with a big hug?" ask Tara.

"Were you in on this whole conference thing?" ask Dawn. "Cause no way Giles would agree on letting me go out into the city and attend a conference."

"I have nothing to do with it," says Tara. "Don't be so surprise Dawn. Besides you are the Queen and you must know about the people that serve your kingdom."

"Is that the real reason?"

"Maybe. You are going to be guarded by many people. That is why Giles is not worrying."

"Yeah, I guess. But what am I going to wear?"

"What the Queen should wear. Although its kind of hot out. A dress would be more appropriate." Dawn agrees and heads into her closet.

The Queen ventures out into the mid town and many towns people gather around. The conference begins and one of the Queens servants sneaks off without anyone seeing her. She wanders over to a small shop that sells necklaces and small trinkets. The servant begins to look around.

"Hello," says the shop keeper, a blonde girl with a soft spoken voice. "Is there something I can help you with?"

"No, thanks," replies the servant. "I'm just looking."

Back at the conference Tara looks over to where the Queen is and notices that one of her servants is missing. She keeps looking around and quickly starts to walk around the town looking for her.

"Dawn," Tara calls for her. She wanders into the same small shop and finds her putting on a necklace. "Thank goodness I found you."

"Tara I'm okay," says Dawn. "Check this out. Is this neat."

"Its great Dawn," says Tara as she pulls her over to the exit. "Now we gotta get back. Giles told me to watch over you and he'll have a cow if you ran off."

"I knew there was catch."

"Come on lets go."

"Bye." Dawn waves at the shop keeper and she waves back. The shop keeper then grabs the necklace that Dawn was putting on. She suddenly feels something go through her body as she closes her eyes.
