Why me, why me, thought Kel, what have I done to deserve this. She was being fitted for a dress for Neal and Yuki's wedding- she had been asked to be their maid of honour. To her, it was worse than flying lessons with Lord Raoul. She sighed. At least the dress could be a little less low cut and frilly.

"Lalsasa, does it have to be so…… pouffy." Kel asked, a little sceptical.

"Yes Kel, you know that all the bridesmaids wear the same dress, and you are no exception."

After the fitting she went to her rooms and heard a knock on the door. It was Dom, Domitan of Masobelle- to escort her to the wedding; he was to be the best man.

Wow, she's beautiful, he thought. Wait- when have I begun to look at her this way, she's never been anything more than a friend to m?. Since she saved my life. He realized. Two weeks ago the Kings own had been fighting Scanran raiders and Dom had been cornered by three men at once. Kel had come to his rescue, cutting all three men down with her Glaive. He remembered looking into her beautiful Brown eyes and…

"Dom, I'm ready" called Kel. He looked up at her in surprise, than smiled. Kel blushed at the way he was looking at her.

Dom cleared his throat. "We better get going- you know how Sir Meathead gets." She agreed and took his arm.

At the reception, Kel watched, laughing as Neal and Yuki danced outrageously to a sad love song. Than Neal made an announcement.

"I think it would be a great idea for my maid of honour and best man to dance together- don't you?" He was answered by a great deal of cheering from the crowd.

That meathead! He doesn't know what he's getting me into! thought Kel.

Neal looked over at his cousin and best friend dance. He saw Kel put on a struggling Yamani mask. He watched Dom blush and saw them jump at each other's touch. Hmmm... he thought. I never noticed that before. He looked around the room but nobody seemed to notice. He met Yuki's eyes and saw that she grinned, apparently amused. She had noticed too. They shared a silent laugh over it and kept dancing. They would manage without their help.

Kel and Dom danced happily. Dom couldn't take it any longer. He had to tell her. "Umm… Kel, I hear the Yamani gardens are beautiful; will you join me in viewing them? He asked her. He had to talk to her alone.

Kel walked into the garden, nervous about being alone with Dom. "The flowers are beautiful!" Kel gasped, forgetting how amazing they were.

"Not as beautiful as you," said Dom. He reached in and kissed her.

Kel's heart thumped and heat rushed through her. This was a lot better than she thought. She was dizzy, when Dom pulled away, she had to sit down

"I'm sorry- I just needed to show you how I feel."

Kel walked up to him and kissed him. "I love you Dom."

"I love you to."
