Sinbad was walking through the forest in search of food when he saw Maeve and Doubar hugging from a distance. He smiled, grateful that his brother and Maeve got on so well. Allah knows what would have happened if they didn't, it would certainly put him in an awkward situation.

He suddenly realised that they were still hugging, which was a little weird. He could tell from here that neither of them were crying, or seemed upset in the slightest. And when Maeve did pull back, they made sure that they're hands were still joined.

Sinbad watched in silence as they started talking again, even if he couldn't actually hear them.

Maeve pulled back from what she thought to be Sinbad,"All better?" she asked cheekily.

"I don't know, my arm may feel better, but my heart, it's broken I'm afraid"

"Oh, that's too bad" smirked Maeve.

"Have I ever told you how beautiful you look?" he asked.

"No" blushed Maeve quietly.

"Well, you look stunning, truly magnificent" he smiled sincerely.

"You don't look so bad yourself"

"I want you Maeve, I've wanted you since the first day we met, I want you so much now I can't stand it. Kiss me Maeve, you know you want to"

Sinbad watched in horror as Doubar and Maeve leaned closer and closer to the stage where there lips almost met. He couldn't stand it any more, and with tears streaming down his face, he quietly fled.

"I'm sorry" whispered Maeve as she pulled back just before their lips touched. "I can't, it doesn't feel right somehow"

"I'm sure it doesn't" he snarled before turning and walking off.

Doubar walked off with a heavy heart. He had been so close to kissing Delilah, but at the last minute she had chosen to go back to her partner. He just hadn't any luck with girls. Oh well he thought. I'll just have to play match maker for our hot headed couple instead. That'll make me feel just as good. As he got to a clearing he noticed something that stopped him dead.

In the clearing he saw Rongar beating up Firouz. He rubbed his eyes and looked again, but nothing changed. His heart churned as he remembered everything that was said by both of them earlier. He felt truly sick, Firouz may have said some harsh things but there was no need to beat the living daylights out of him, but what about what he'd said to Firouz. He'd completely gone over the top, he realised that now.

He decided that enough was enough and marched up to the two and physically dragged Rongar off of Firouz.

"Stop it you two, you're supposed to be friends" he demanded. "What the hell has gotten into you Rongar?"

"This stupid buffoon jumped me when I was minding my own business" yelled Firouz. "I haven't done anything to him… well" he added with a smirk (something that, in Doubar's mind, didn't suit him at all). "Nothing that he doesn't deserve anyway. All I said was the truth"

At this Rongar started struggling towards him as Doubar kept him firmly within his grip.

"Firouz, what you said was lies and you know it. There was no need for you to say any of it, especially to your friend"

"But there was need for him to hit me" mouthed Firouz as cuts and bruises made there way to the surface, shocking Doubar.
"Rongar, what the hell did you do? You had me feeling sorry for you earlier, there was no need for this; he's your friend"

'He's no friend of mine' signed Rongar. 'He's just a useless madman'

"Now that's enough" bellowed Doubar.

"Yeah" snided Firouz.

"From both of you" added Doubar. "First Maeve and Sinbad, and now you two. I don't know what's gotten into everyone, but I'll tell you this. Unless you don't stop this now and make up, then I'll never speak to you again"
"Fine" snapped Firouz and stomped off.

'Fine' signalled Rongar and made off in the opposite direction.

"FINE" roared Doubar and turned around.
