Chapter Two:

This little bit-for it is indeed a little bit, being no more than 400 words long-I wrote specifically for Fanta, one of the world's best reviewers- I swear, has anyone ever read any of her reviews? They're amazing…they make me blush! - and an awesome beta, too! And not a bad conversationalist. Lol.

Dom suggested that they take a ride in the forest instead of practicing, for he knew she was still weary. She agreed, and they saddled up their mounts. Riding through the forest, they talked of the war, New Hope, and Blayce. They where in a heated argument over war tactics when Dom let out a sudden groan, startling Kel.

"Are you okay?" She asked, looking over at him.

"No. We are sitting here talking about war! I am anything but okay! I could think of millions of other interesting things to discuss!"

"So what would you prefer to talk about?" She arched an eyebrow.

"Hmm," He said, thinking. "About how good you taste, about how cute you look when you blush, about how much I want to kiss you, about-"

She punched him, laughing.

"Oww! That hurt! I'm sitting here complimenting you, and you hurt me! I need to sit down! I am in a lot of pain, here!" He told her outrageously.

She laughed once more at his foolishness, but agreed that they could sit for a little while.

The pair soon dismounted and went to sit by the lake they had found. Kel took her shoes off and dipped her feet in, shivering as the cold water touched her feet.

Suddenly, there were hands on her waist. Tickling her. She giggled, then reached out and lightly slapped her attacker. He continued his assault.

She leaned over and lightly kissed him. He stopped tickling and instead drew her closer to himself. Her arms went around his neck.

Several throats cleared from behind them. They drew reluctantly apart. Kel, blushing, turned to the intruders, and scowled upon seeing who stood there.

She scowled. They grinned.

"What are you three doing?" Dom asked sternly.

"Oh, we where thinking that you two would need a chaperone. We where right." Neal told the two.

Dom made a rather rude sign, at which Neal sniffed indignantly at, then went back to the task at hand-a thing Kel didn't mind in the least.
