I would like to say that, although it ain't original in the least, a huge invasion is a good storyline thank you very much! And besides, who doesn't want to see what Carter's dad looks like? And for that matter, what Carter's reaction is gonna be.

Chapter 7

Can I die yet?

Can I die yet? June wondered as Carter assigned her another painstaking task.

"Shoot ten of these targets, one each ad repeat twice, not taking any more than three seconds in between each shot and then run a lap around the castle. Got it?" Carter said, looking around.

"Jack-"

"June, don't swear." Will said, coming down from the castle.

"Where have you been?" June asked, firing her first volley of shots.

"With Alyss. Then I went to talk with Horace who's in the area. I never knew he actually polished his armor. I always thought he left it as is! At least it looks that way in battle." He mused out loud, then looking at June rapidly firing shots at targets.

"Is she using a recurve bow?" Will asked, hopping up into a tree to watch.

"Yes, and are you still in trees because to fear that I might trap you again." Carter asked slyly.

"Yes," Will answered, the yelped as he was snapped back into the air. "I hate you." He said, glaring at the laughing boy beneath him.

"I love you too, no homo." Carter said, grinning like an idiot as Will dangled from a rope.

"Said the guy who kissed a man for information on a mission." Will sighed.

"Oi! It was good information!" Carter protested.

"That still leaves the question of your sexuality." Will said, glaring at Carter as June fired her second wave of arrows.

"Can you both shut up? I'm trying to focus. And if the question still needs answering you both are idiots." June said, retrieving her arrows.

"Use your back muscles as well when you pull it back!" Carter snapped, as June took a shot, causing it to arc beautifully over the targets and into the woods to be lost forever.

"Carter…your making me a new arrow." June said, giving him a death stare.

"No, I'm not, your making you a new arrow." He said.

"You really feel like dying, don't you?" She said, setting down her bow and preparing for her lap.

"Sometimes I wonder If it would be any better. If I die and go to heaven then I get to play a harp and sing songs, either that or walk around and sleep all day. If I go to hell, then I can probably still sleep al day because I know somebody that's Satan's poker buddy. That being said, that person is a jackass cause he can't lose. So he's a jackass. And if anything Will, I shoot homos.

"Then go shoot yourself." June said, taking off at a sprint, her hair blowing in the slight breeze as she ran.

"Why is it that I can tell you my whole tragic past and it doesn't faze her, but you tell her I kissed a guy for information and she starts on a rant? I mean seriously, it freaking ridiculous!" Carter said, throwing his hands up into the air.

"Simple, key words, if you say hey how are you, the key word is hey. If you say, yeah, said the guy who kissed a guy for information, the key words are yeah, guy, information, and so she will actually listen to the whole sentence because it grabs her attention from all the keywords." Will said.

"Shut up or I will leave you up there and make you play your lute upside-down." Carter growled.

"It. Is. NOT. A. LUTE!" Will shouted.

"Or is it?" Carter said.

"A lute has ten strings, mine has eight therefore it's clearly NOT a lute." Will shouted.

"Says the man who mistook my bowstring for floss!" Carter snapped.

"It was clear and flossy! Plus it worked!" Will said.

"It worked for you, but I had to wash that thing twice to get all that crap off it!" Carter replied

"You've never washed anything in your life!" Will said, smiling.

"Yeah right! I washed my uniform when I got blood all over it! Granted it was crimson for a freakin week until I washed it but I still washed it!" Carter replied.

"What was the blood from anyway?" Will mused.

"Honestly I can't really remember. I think it might have been camouflage for something. Honestly I think that was the worst idea that I ever had." Carter mused.

"Yeah, it definitely was and I don't even know what you're talking about." June said, walking up.

"I thought you were running," Carter said, glaring at here.

"I was , keyword, was." June answered.

"Told ya about keywords." Will smiled, suddenly cutting himself down and catching himself from a very painful fall.

"You suck." Carter growled.

"That's gay." June said.

"Your gay." Carter replied.

"That makes me straight." June answered.

"Dammit…how?"

"Simple, the dumbed down definition of gay is liking a guy, and therefore since I'm a girl that means that's normal, you however are a different matter." June smiled.

"I just can't win an argument with any girl, now can I?" Carter sighed.

"Welcome to my life." Will said.

"Another part of being a Ranger is being able to win democratically arguments when a diplomat is not present, and therefore, June already has that part aced. Although she may need some pointers from Alyss. On the archery, you need some work, it's average in the Rangers." Will said, smiling at June.

"At least somebody can stay on track." June said, casting a look at Carter.

"What?" He said, holding up his arm innocently.

"Can we get on with training, and I think that I'll listen to Will, since your way out of it." June said as Will smiled and began instructing June on different exercises.

"So she's saying that I can't stay on track? She didn't complain when I was teaching her yesterday." Carter mumbled, watching as June fired shot after shot at the target, then switched.

"If you take two shots at a target, you automatically use the first to feel out to range for the second, that is something that Rangers avoid learning. So, if you shot once at five targets with different ranges then you start to gauge their distance before each shot." Will explained, taking out his longbow.

"Show me." June said, causing Will to smile.

He knocked an arrow, and just before he shot it seven green arrows whizzed by them and buried themselves into the target up to the fetching in the middle circle. Will smiled, before releasing a lightning fast volley that split each of the green arrows in half.

"Show off," June called to Carter who was sitting on the roof, apparently snoozing.

"All is far in love and war." He said, from underneath his cowl.

"This isn't either." June said.

"But in a way, it is!" He said, sitting up.

"How?"

"War was explained in the way that Will and I competed to see who was the better shot! The other part was just added on!" Carter smiled.

"My master is screwed up in the head." June sighed.

June's behavior has really changed. She's more open, swears a lot more, and is in more arguments with carter than I have with him. Will thought. How old is Carter? He never tells me this stuff! Seriously, he'll tell me his whole past, but not his age! I mean really, it was more of a guess on his choosing.

Is there any way shape or form that I can get more than ONE review for each chapter? It'd kind of help if I could get some clue on what you guys were thinking. That and it would help my self-esteem. Cause as of this moment I am seriously thinking of just quitting this because it's something that I can do without. So can I please get some POSITIVE feedback? If I misspelled something blame my computer, it corrected everthing.
