Chapter 3
Xena stood up as she heard
Gabrielle come running back to their campsite. The firewood
clattered to the ground, and the smaller woman ran to her friend
and buried her face in Xena’s chest. “Shhhh,
it’s ok. It’s ok. What’s wrong
Gabrielle?” she asked wrapping her arms around the bard and
stroking her hair.

Gabrielle?” she asked wrapping her arms around the bard and

It took a few moments for
Gabrielle to calm enough to finally tell her friend what had
happened. “I… I didn’t mean to eavesdrop,
but I just kind of did… I was out getting the
firewood,” she said gesturing to the fallen wood, “and
I heard voices, so I went over to check it out. It was Daria
and Phaedra. They said something about being surprised that
someone hadn’t shown up… I don’t know who they
were talking about – they were being kinda vague. Then
Daria said something about ‘her’ maybe going after
someone else and Phaedra got scared… Daria gave her a hug and
kissed her on the forehead, then Phaedra kissed Daria… on the
lips…”

When Gabrielle paused, Xena asked,
“Is that what bothered you? Two women
kissing?” She wasn’t sure she really wanted to
hear the answer.

“Noooo, it’s not

two other people…” She had a difficult time going
on.

“Do you know who they were,

The bard, still wrapped in the

Xena’s expression was

With a small smile, Gabrielle

Xena responded in kind, relishing
the simple contact. When they finally broke the kiss, they

the warrior, “what are we gonna do about
them?”

The bard was thoughtful for a
moment, and then said, “See if they come back, and then find
out what’s going on? But for now,” she grinned,
“let’s get dinner started.”

just thought it would be nice if … they didn’t have to
wait quite as long.”
