There once was a bookworm who fell in love with a rebel. She was girl who read books by the dozen. She was kidnapped and hurt by this rebel who she loved. But she saw the best in others and tried to become friends with this boy.
She helped him regain his dignity after his side lost the war. He did not wish to hurt her again. Their little family grew, with a cat and other friends, among them a clueless dragon and a shy princess.
The bookworm realized her feelings long before the rebel.
They went on trips together, and he vowed that as long as the "shorty" stayed next to him, he would protect her. She cheered for him in contests and cried when she thought he might have died.
The bookworm had fallen in love with a rebel, and the rebel had fallen back. But only one of them realized it.
