Chapter Fourteen: More Than A Friend
After River rushed out of the observatory room she headed for her room. As she turned the first corner she about collided with Daniel.
"Whoa. Are you alright?"
"NO I'M NOT ALRIGHT!!" said River as she leaned back onto the wall
"Okay you can tell me when you want to, but first let's get you to your room."
She propped herself up and Daniel put his arm around her waist to steady her and they made their way to her room.
When they walked in Daniel noticed the computer screen.
"What's that?" said Daniel pointing to the computer screen.
River looked in the direction he was pointing and rushed over to the computer and shut it off.
"That's part of why I'm not alright."
They sat down next to each other on the bed.
"So aren't you going to ask me whats wrong?"
"No I hadn't planned on it but since you asked whats wrong?
River looked at him seriously she like it that he didn't want to push the matter in fact she loved it, in fact she loved everything about him.
"Well to make a long story short I found a picture of what the General looked like before he is what he is now, and come to find out he was the man that I loved that I thought was dead, and I told him what used to be between him and I could never be again due to he is so heartless."
"You actually said that?" said Daniel looking at her as if he was going to fall face flat on the ground and worship the ground that she walked on.
"Ooh yeah."
They started laughing so hard that they had to wrap their arms around the other and when they stopped Daniel kissed her and she did back.
"Wow do you know how long it's been since I actually did that?"
"No, but how many guys have you kissed?"
"Not counting you, one."
"Really?"
"Yeah and you can easily guess who."
"Yeah and to think I have him for compition."
"No you don't have to worry about any compition from anybody other than yourself."
"Oh so you think that I can be compition to myself?"
"Just forget the topic and lets go get something to eat." said River as she got up and walked out of the room.
For the remainder of the day they spent it in each other's presence and doing the things they needed to attend to together without running into the General, which was a relief.
That evening as they walked around the ship exploring the many rooms River asked "So do you think you could spar with me?"
"Yes were would you like to practice: observation deck or observatory room?"
"Observation deck."
"Okay see you tomorrow." and Daniel walked down the hall opposite River, and went to report the happenings to his master.
Uh oh Grievous ye have a problem called Daniel on your hands
