"Let's stop here for the night." Corinne said, pulling her horse to a stop "Set camp before it gets dark."

"How far do you think we are from Malice's kingdom?" Liana asked as she dismounted.

"I don't know." Corinne answered honestly "We'd already been traveling several days when they captured us, remember?"

"How could I forget?" Liana shrugged "First time I'd ever been in a dungeon."

"Hm... probably was the tenth or eleventh for Corinne." Renee teased slightly "Right?"

"Somewhere around there." Corinne chuckled "Come with me to get some firewood, Renee. Aramina, Viveca, find a clearing to set up in."

"Okee." Aramina nodded "Surely there's one nearby."

"Surely there's a town." Viveca groaned "I hate sleeping on the ground."

"Do you think we'll find them?" Alexa asked, watching as the musketeers dispersed "I mean, what are the odds of finding those three together?"

"I think very high." Liana answered "Don't worry. We'll find the boys and finally get married." she glanced around "And figure out why Louis got married when he was obviously in love with Corinne. Things just don't add up."

"Are you sure he was in love with her?" Alexa asked quietly "I mean, could it have been a mistake?"

"No. I saw them together." Liana shook her head "I heard him tell her that he'd worked hard to win her heart. I saw him kiss her. I saw the ring." she shook her head again "The inscription on that ring she's wearing says 'My Musketeer, My Queen, My Love'. Why would it say that if he didn't love her. Something is just... messed up. I just can't figure out what. She saw the proposal. She actually heard the words 'Marry Me' and he was happy. I just don't... understand."

"Well, I'm exhausted." Alexa yawned "And hungry. Let's help look for a clearing."

~*~*~*Trials of Love*~*~*~

"Someone should keep watch." Renee said "Corinne, you want the first watch?"

"Sure." Corinne nodded "I'm not tired anyways."

"Okay. Let's all get some sleep."

Corinne pushed herself to her feet and walked over to a tree that was at the edge of the clearing and sat back down.

Fifteen minutes later it seemed everyone had dozed off.

Corinne sighed as she pulled the ring off her finger and looked at it "I wish I knew if I did something wrong." she whispered into the air.

"What could you have done wrong?" Liana asked, causing the other girl to jump as she sat down beside her, laying a guitar out on the grass.

"I don't know." Corinne shrugged, returning the ring to her finger "Been too stubborn? Too outspoken?"

"I think that's what he loved most about you." Liana said gently "Maybe he'll be able to clear everything up."

"What's there to clear up?" the musketeer asked a bit too sharply "He fell in love with someone else. That's all there is to it."

"I don't think so."

"Then your the optimistic side of me that isn't feeling very jovial."

Liana raised an eyebrow "You're friends were right. You get angry when you're trying not to let something bother you."

"I'm not. I'm over it." Corinne retorted "He means... nothing to me anymore."

"Yeah-huh. Prove it."

"What?"

"Prove it."

"And how do you expect me to do that?"

Liana pointed to Corinne's hand "Take off the ring and throw it into the woods."

Corinne opened her mouth to retort but closed it right back. She looked down at her hand and let out a long breath of air "I can't." she looked over at her sister with a slight smile "And you know it." she pushed a piece of hair from her face

Liana placed a hand on the other girl's shoulder "I just want to know if you'll be okay."

"I'll be okay." Corinne answered "It'll take awhile, but I'll be fine." she picked up the guitar and started strumming it while she looked up at the stars. A moment later a sigh escaped her lips and she shook her head slightly "I just wish I knew..." she let out an aggravated breath of air "I don't understand what happened. I just... am repeating myself. Again."

Liana opened her mouth to say something but Corinne cut her off,

"How could I have misunderstood everything?" Corinne mumbled as she got to her feet and started pacing "I've heard him argue with his advisers about it. And I think I'm the only 'stubborn girl musketeer' they would be talking about. They told him it was a bad idea and he said that there was nothing they could do to change his mind." she shook her head and spun around to face Liana who was also standing "So what did make him change his mind? He was too happy for that proposal to have been forced."

"Corinne!" Liana cried "Slow down. Listen to me..."

"For what?" Corinne snapped "Like you have any idea what's going on."

Liana crossed her arms "Now just a second, Corinne D'artagnon. As a reminder I was supposed to get married yesterday but my Fiance possibly got captured by a kingdom wanting revenge for the death of their king! I don't know if he's alive, or hurt or what. So don't even go there."

Corinne stared at her for a long moment then let out a long sigh "Sorry. I..."

Liana chuckled "Don't worry about it. I'm not really mad. I just felt like blowing up at you like you've been doing for most of this trip."

Corinne rubbed her forehead "Oi. Have I been that bad?"

"No. Not by a long shot." Liana tilted her head to the side and smiled "I know we're in two different situations, but I think the feeling's the same."

Corinne smiled slightly "How is it you always know what I'm feeling?"

Liana laughed "We share the same birthday. We share the same mother and father... and sometimes I think the same heart. We're Twins. How could I not know what you're feeling?"

Corinne chuckled softly and was about to respond but was cut off by an echo of:

"Twins?"

The two girls spun around to see Aramina, Viveca, Renee and Alexa all staring at them dumbstruck,

"Oops." Liana whispered "I forgot to make sure we didn't have any listening ears before I said that."

Corinne rubbed her forehead "And now for the second conversation I wasn't looking forward to having yet."

"Wait wait wait." Renee said slowly "Twins? As in literally? But that's not possible!"

"Or is it?" Viveca added "I mean you two are almost identical. Almost."

"So... are you twins for real?" Alexa asked.

Liana and Corinne looked at each other then back at their friends "Yes,"

"But how?" Aramina asked "There's nearly two thousand miles between you!"

Corinne shrugged "Who's to know." then she smiled slightly "But we found each other right when I needed her the most."

Renee frowned "How do you know you are twins?"

Liana quickly told them the story about the dreams and then Treville's slip and so forth.

Renee gave them a tight smile "Yeah. That pretty much confirms it. Whoa."

"And we didn't tell mom because... well..." Corinne tucked a piece of hair behind her ear "I don't know how."

"Well at least you two being so similar isn't so creepy anymore." Aramina said "Now we just have to figure out how to get to Malice's kingdom... without us being recognized."

"I've been thinking about that." Corinne said "The guards will be suspicious of any set of twins walking into the town, so... Viveca. You got your makeover kit?"

Viveca rolled her eyes "What kind of question is that?"

"Good. We're going to need it."
