Hi there. This is a story I wrote, and had on here ages ago. So I apolagize if you have already read it. However I never did finish it and there are some bits I want to change. So here it is, hopefully this time Ill finish the story.

Kel turned to see Yuki slowly coming up the aisle. Neal was eagerly waiting up the front. She was glad for her two best friends, finally getting married. If only her own love life was going that well.

It's true that Kel had rushed eagerly to Steadfast so that she could see Dom. She hoped perhaps to get to know him better in a non-war setting. She flashed back to the disappointment she had received.

It was on the night of Raoul's and Buriram's wedding. At the banquet afterwards she was lucky enough to be seated next to Dom.

"It's wonderful to be able to relax for once," Dom grinned.

Kel blushed. "Well, I don't know if being at this banquet is relaxing," she murmured.

Domlaughed at her, "Come on Lady Kel, you need to dance."

Kel couldn't believe her luck. She had badly wanted to dance with him the whole night. Kel had even donned a long red dress and let Yuki put some of the horrible face paint on her to try and get his attention. She let Dom drag her to the dance floor.

"Now, please tell me the Lady can dance," he said in a drawl like Neal's.

"Of course I can," she retorted, placing her arms on his shoulders.

"You look beautiful tonight, Kel," he whispered in her ear.

"Really?" Kel gasped.

Dom just laughed.

Dancing with Dom was wonderful. She could place all her worries aside, not that there were many anymore with New Hope going so well, and just relax on his shoulder. He was a great dancer, and being a bit taller then her meant that they went together quite well. A lot of the time she ended up looking down at guys.

The doors of the hall opened and in came a beautiful lady. All heads turned her way.

"Who is that?" Kel frowned, "This is a fort, not the court at the palace."

"Who's who?" Dom asked. He had been daydreaming and didn't notice.

"Her!" Kel snapped, pointing.

"Great Mithros," he said, eyes wide. "Excuse me, Kel." Dom promptly went off to join the many other men and met her.

Kel, frowning, went over too. She didn't want anyone to steal Dom's attention away from her. They had been enjoying a dance.

"Oh Kel!" someone squealed.

She glanced up to see Yuki.

"Kel, this is one of my best friends from the Yamani Islands, she came over for my wedding."

Kel could tell that Yuki really wanted her to get on with this lady. But she despised those girls whose only talent is flirting. Ahhh, what was she thinking? It wasn't this lady's fault that she was so pretty.

"Kel, this is Naraki. Naraki, Kel," Yuki said smiling brightly.

"It's an honour to meet you, Lady Kel. Yuki has told me much about you." Naraki was smiling at her.

Kel smiled back. "I am also pleased to meet you, Naraki, and I look forward to getting to know you better."

"Well, Iam going to takeNaraki off to meet others," Yuki said. "I'll seeup you later, Kel."

"Who was that?" Dom had come up behind her.

"That was Yuki's friend Naraki, she came over for the wedding."

"Naraki," Dom murmured a distant, dreamy look in his eyes.

Kel sighed and watched him walk over to introduce himself. Well, what did she expect? She wasn't that pretty. Why would Dom ever want someone like her anyway? He probably wanted a real lady who knew how to run a home and raise children. Sure Cleon had been interested in her, but that was because he could see through things like looks.

"I guess Dom's just no better then the rest of the nobles here."

For the rest of the week Dom had followed Naraki around like a pet dog. He was sitting next to her along the row at Neal and Yuki's wedding. Kel glanced down to see Naraki giggling at something Dom had just said. She couldn't compete with someone like Naraki. Kel would just make herself get over Dom.

Two days later Kel said her goodbyes, and along with some supplies and a new healer – Neal was staying at Steadfast with Yuki - she made her way slowly back to New Hope.

Ok, this is so badly written LOL, but It was ages ago I wrote it, and I can't be bothered re-writting it, so it'll have to do.
