Haha just wait till you read this!

OoOoOoOoO

Last chapter, Kel was told she had to be the one to go and kill Maggot Face.

Kel looked up. Next to her, Merric gasped. "Sir, what could she possibly do that someone else could not?" he demanded. "Hasn't she already done enough?"

Wyldon sighed and looked at her. "Kel, you're a natural leader..."

"This is why we shouldn't send her to her death!" Neal interrupted.

Wyldon glared at him. "Kel, you're perfect. You managed to rescue your people. You're a natural leader. You can think fast in difficult situations. Not only that but you're a female."

"What's that got to do with it?" Dom asked.

"Simple," Wyldon said, "Scanra is even more male dominated then we are. A woman would be the last thing he expects. Plus it may come in more handy then you think," he smiled.

"Well, of course I'll do it," Kel answered. "But am I going by myself?"

"No, both Numair and Daine will go with you, and Dom's squad if he agrees."

Dom nodded, "I'll have to check with my men but I'm pretty sure they'd be up to it."

"And what about New Hope?" Kel asked.

"Merric, you will go back with Neal and another squad we're giving you."

Merric glared at him. "What about defending the borders?" he asked.

"We're taking our forces off the borders and instead putting them in the forts and refugee camps to make Maggur think we're giving up and then he'll be less likely to suspect someone like Kel getting to him," Wyldon replied.

"So am I to kill Maggur or free nobles?" Kel asked.

Daine pointed to the map. "Maggur and his troops are stationed here." She put stones on the map making where they were. "Maggur has surrounded himself as you can see, plus he has more stationed all around the border," she said, adding more.

"The hostages are in the palace which is heavily guarded," Wyldon added.

"But you, Kel, you're like a flower opening to the first rays of the sun. You can do it; I know you can," added Numair. "And to help you, I'm going to give you my Gift."

"Oh, thank you so much, Numair," said Kel.

Numair placed his hands on her shouldars, pouring his gift into her and then collapsed and died. "Well, looks like he's not going with us after all," shrugged Daine. (A/N I never did like Numair.)

Kel walked out of the room. Merric caught up with her.

"Kel, I refuse to let you go, I don't know what I'll do without you! What if you die?" Merric was panicked.

"Oh Merric, don't worry." She leaned over and kissed him hard.

Pulling back she said.

"Think of me everyday,

Hold tight to what I say,

And I'll be close to you

- even from far away."

Merric grinned and kissed her. Taking her hand he said.

"Know that wherever you are

It is never too far

If you think of me,

I'll be with you."

(A/N If you've ever heard of Veggie Tales that was Mom and Junior singing. Junior is so cute.)

Hurrying to Kel's bedroom, Merric dragged her to the bed. "Oh Kel, promise you'll come back."

"Of course, you silly bill goo-goo."

They made out long and hard and did other things we shouldn't really think about because it's not very good. Well, it was for them, but we shouldn't say such things, should we?

The next day Merric left for New Hope with Neal and whoever else. Kel watched him go sadly. "Maybe I'm not in love with Dom any more," she thought.

OoOoOoO

OKAY OKAY. I wrote this ages ago. Sorry. I just got sick of it and it was boring and normal. Oh, this chapter is dedicated to heartdamoose by the way. Her stories are so fun. They make me laugh.

To all those annoyed with me, read the next chapter.
