A/N: Okay, all, the idea here is the question "What would Kel do?". This is basically a series of scenarios where we see what Kel does. Each chapter basically functions as a one shot unless I desire it otherwise. You are more than welcome to submit suggestions to me in an email or review- my email can be found in my profile, so it might just be easier to review and let me know your ideas. I hope you like it!

What Would Kel Do?

First Installment: "Next Time"

What Kel would do in certain scenarios- email me the situations if you think of any or submit them in a review. First up: Neal kisses her in the middle of the mess…

"What a patrol session," Kel said heavily to Merric as they made their way into the mess at New Hope.

"Yeah," he said. "O look, let's sit-"

"Over here!" shouted Neal from a table. Kel looked at his plate. It was piled almost entirely with meat and fruit. Not a vegetable in sight.

"So much for that idea," Kel said to Merric. "We'll have to sit with him now," mock sighing, she made her way to the buffet line and scooped a few vegetables onto her plate for him. Then she made her way over to the table gathering Owen and Dom in her wake.

"Finally!" said Owen. "How jolly it is to sit down after all those hours of physical labor!"

"When did you go so wordy?" Dom asked, mouth full of food.

"Since I went away from My Lord Wyldon and stopped having him tell me to shut up," Owen thoughtfully replied.

"Well pretend I'm your Lord Wyldon, and shut the bloody hell up!" Dom appeared to be having a bad day.

"Language, Dom," Kel chided, looking at Neal. "There are little pitchers around who are too innocent to be sullied by your years of foul language."

"Whatever," was all Neal had to say, which was quite remarkable for him. Kel supposed he was paying too much attention on not eating his vegetables.

Kel shook her head at him, picked up a fork, and began to put some broccoli onto it. "Be quiet, and eat, you big baby," she said, holding the fork up to his mouth.

Neal frowned at her, the broccoli, then finally he ate it. "You know Kel," he said, smacking his lips in distaste, "it sure says something about my love for you that I still love you after you force me to eat broccoli." He leaned in and kissed her in his usual flamboyant nature. His breath smelled of broccoli.

"Next time," Kel said, "I'll thank you to not do that after you've eaten broccoli. Your breath smells quite disgusting, you know." She looked blandly around the table. "Oh, and Neal, there was something I wanted to talk to you about…" She left the table, dazed Neal in tow.

Dom, Merric, and Owen were still sitting at the table half an hour later.

"Next time?" Owen finally got it, "you mean, they are- now?"

"Yes, Owen" they chimed.

A/N: Okay, so that was the first installment, folks! I hope you liked it! Please review and submit your suggestions on what should happen to Kel next as well as letting me know what you thought of this chapter!
