Dislcaimer: I do not own any of the character or places.

I don't think this chapter is very good :(

Kel was sitting in the mud shaking her head at Neal's foolishness while someone was shouting "MEATHEAD! I HATE YOU!" repeatedly. While Neal, Dom and herself were riding close to Giantkiller Neal had suggested resting for a while. So while she stood around nearby Neal had 'stumbled' accidently knocking her over in the mud. Then Dom, being a gentlemen had given her his hand to help her up and Neal, apparently he really had balance problems, because he 'accidently' knocked him over.

Now Dom and Kel were sitting in the mud. What made it worst was that Kel, nor Dom, couldn't get out of the mud. The mud was covering now most of the clearing and Neal had retreated to safety. However, safety was nowhere near close enough to help the knight and the sergeant.

"I'll go... get... help" Neal got out while laughing uncontrollably. He nicely left the two of them.

"Is it just me or was there no mud when we stop?" asked Dom after shouting at Neal to get back and help them.

"There definitely was no mud when we stopped" answered Kel grumpily.

"And have you ever encountered mud this sticky?"

"No" replied Kel

"That's what I thought... I think we just got pranked"

"Yep!" replied Kel "Mithros if he had to prank you why did I have to be dragged into it? I've been nice!" she whined

"Hey!" replied Dom "I wasn't in a prank war at the moment!"

"Apparently not! However why are we sitting, in the middle of nowhere, in mud?"

"Ok, you have a point, we need to extract revenge"

"We could hang him upside down in the stables?" she asked.

"No, it's been done before" replied Dom "What about dyeing his hair blond?"

"Yuki would KILL us! Umm, tar and feather?"

"Overdone" he said.

Kel sighed "We'll think of something" she replied. She went to lay back down.

"I wouldn't lay down if I were you" he said before she laid completely down. "You wouldn't be able to get up again"

She gave him a look of gratitude.

"They should kiss anytime soon" said NEal

"They are so slow!" replied Wolset

"Common Dom, just kiss her! It's not like you've never kissed anyone!" said Raoul

"Neal, I think they figured out you magicked the mud" said Fulcher "I pity you for when they will extract their revenge!"

"It will be worth it if they kissed" he replied with had much courage as he could muster. However the thought of Kel and Dom going in a prank war against him worried him. Dom had the worst idea for pranks.

"The plan seems to have failed. We'll need something new" said Raoul.

"What do you suggest?"

"We'll think about it" said Wolset "But I bet they'll be together by the end of the month"

"No, I say in three weeks" said Neal. All of Dom's squad, Raoul and Neal were now in a betting pool to see how long it would take the two lovebirds to finally get together.

What stopped the betting was Dom voice "I think that now is the time I'm supposed to kiss you and woo you my dear"

They all leaned over eager to see what was going to happen. "But think of our reputation! You are a dashing lovely man but I cannot let you toy with me" replied Kel while batting her eyelashes at Dom.

"Me toy with you? Never fair lady! What would give you the idea?" he replied in a flirtatious manner.

"You mean sir, you are not just interested in my virtue?" she asked, sounding a bit too close to a court lady for Neal's comfort.

"Of course I'm after your virtue" Dom replied with a grin. Kel laughed. She scooped some mud and threw it in Dom's face. "Oh no you didn't" he whispered before pelting her with mud.

"They are definitely flirting!" said Lofren.

"But not kissing" replied Wolset.

"My butt is cold!" whined Dom "When will Neal get here! He's been gone for a good half-hour! How long does it take to get help?"

Neal looked up. "My Lord Raoul ready to go help Kel and Dom?"

"Mindelan? What are you doing there?" someone asked. Kel felt herself go red. She also heard an intake of breath from somewhere in the wood, confirming her suspicion that Neal hadn't left.

"Um, see My Lord... we... somewhat... are stuck" she replied.

"How did you manage to get stuck in the middle of a giant mud puddle?"

"Ask Meathead, euh I mean Neal!' replied Dom.

"And why are you covered in mud?"

"Euh, we fell rather gracefully... maybe" replied Kel

"Right, here hold on to this I'll get you guys out of there" he held a branch out to them. However just has Kel and Dom grabbed on the branch to be pulled out, he fell in the puddle close to them.

Kel was thinking of all the things she would do to Neal once she found him. Sitting in cold mud with Dom was one thing, but having dragged Lord Wyldon who was trying to help her out of it was another.

To her surprise Wyldon was laughing. "If Nealan does not get us out of here soon I will be his jousting partner" said Lord Wyldon.

"And I'll go for a go with him right after!" replied Kel

"And I'll fight him with a sword"

Neal came a little while later, clearly shaking with laughter. Raoul was there too. Together they managed to get the three of them out of the mud. "You know Meathead..."

"What?"

"I'd start running" finished Kel. "Now" added Lord Wyldon. Neal started to run towards the Fort. Dom and Kel running after him.

Lord Raoul, Lord Wyldon and Dom's squad went back to the Fort at a slower pace. "What was this about?" asked Lord Wyldon.

"We're trying to get Dom and Kel together" replied Wolset "My lord" he added after remembering who he was talking to.

Lord Wyldon thought it over "They do look good together" he said "and they certainly flirt a lot"

"Hence the plans to get them together! However I doubt we'll listen to Neal again" said Lord Raoul

"What's the next plan?" asked Lord Wyldon. They all stared at him "What?" he asked "she deserves a good worthy man who loves her!"

When they reached the fort they found Neal tied to the flagpole wearing what appeared to Kel's dress. Kel and Dom were just chuckling a few feet away from him. Lady Alanna, who had arrived a few days earlier, was taunting her old squire.

"What do you mean the Sump is in on the plan?" asked Neal.

"Who?" asked Lord Wyldon has he walked into the Get Kel and Dom Together (or more easily and code name GKDT) meeting.

"No one" relied Neal. The GKDT was getting quite big. Alanna was now in on it, so was Buri, Daine, Numair and Owen. Pretty much all of Third company was there too.

"Ok what is the next plan?"

"We should maybe use THEM has flags?" asked Neal, who was slightly irritated with what Kel and Dom had done to him. The bets and plans were going wild. If by the end of this they are not together, they are blind thought Neal.

While they were all talking over their plan they did not notice Tobe. He was carefully listening to everything. They think milady is blind, but they are! I mean they have been together for several month now! He shook his head and memorized their plans. He was going to let his mistress know.

Kel and Dom were lying on the bed. Dom's shirt was on the floor and Kel's finger was making patterns on his chest.

"I think their plan was to hook us up together" he mused

"Obviously" she replied. After a few minutes of silence she continued "We should fool them!"

"What do you mean?"

"They probably have bets and plans. We should pretend like we are oblivious and see all the stuff they come up with!" she chuckled.

"Did I ever mention you are a genius, love?" he asked with a smirk "Oh I can't wait to fool Neal"

He looked down at the woman in his arms. He loved her so much. He smiled at her. When she grinned back he bent his head to kiss her. When she kissed him back, all thoughts of revenge and fooling everyone dropped from his mind and the only thing that mattered was this woman.

After loving her, he left her room, not wanting to be caught there. Since they wanted to fool everyone he couldn't be found in her room at night. As he left he thought Tomorrow will be interesting!

I find this chapter dissapointing.... Not to worry next chapter will have fluff, pranks and well commander thingy...
