So Lady Amy and I did a story a while back called Swords and Bows but we lost a lot..and frankly we forgot most of what we wrote..so here is a new story.

**************************************************

     Many years ago in the southern reaches of Nasiel, stood a mighty empire of the Elves. Faewen, elvish for "Bright Star," was a splendor to behold by all. Also it was the only of the Elven cities to openly allow strangers amidst them. Unlike the bustling Human cities where races of all sorts mingled together, the Elves preferred to stay in the solitude of the wood. Many of the other Elves of Nasiel viewed those of Faewen traitors to the Great Mother. One specific group of Elves calling themselves the "Deluthi" decided to take action against the traitorous Faewen Elves. Lead by a master conjurer named Rhivel they summoned a great evil into Nasiel and utterly destroyed Faewen, leaving it a city of embers. The Green Dragon Telarr came to late, but his magic was able to trap this evil and kill Rhivel and all of his followers...or so he thought...



     The sun beat down on me as I lay in the open field outside of my home. A small breeze passes through and the sound of chimes ring in the background.
     "Drake, its time for dinner, hurry up!"
     "Coming.."
      I make my way to the house and as I enter, my foster mother and father are already at the table filling their plates. I have a seat and begin to fill mine as well.
      "So..Drake, your mother tells me you have been rummaging around the old Faewen ruins again...you know how we feel about that," says my father.
      "I know, but I can't help it...I feel drawn to it...I know my real parents were from there and I was born there. I'd just like to find a piece of my past." I know this won't be enough to appease my foster parents, but its true at least. I did want to learn more of my past and the people of Faewen.
      "I don't believe they were traitorous, they were all murdered for being different. Just like I am, I'm a Human and Elf, I will never be fully accepted."


       My parents continued on eating, ignoring my statements as they have every other time this topic was brought up. I didn't care..tonight I will be leaving here, they will be better off not having me to worry about. I will explore the ruins and find what I have been searching for all my life...
Yo ho Yo ho!

Drake Starsong

        As darkness begins to shroud the land and the moon hides behind the swirling clouds in the sky, I make my move. I had packed everything I needed little at a time over the past week so I would not draw attention from my foster parents. Clothes, sword, tankard, among other things I will need to survive. I throw my pack over my shoulders and talk one last look into my parents room before leaving them behind.
        "Thank you..for everything," I say quietly and head out.

        As soon as I step out of the house, a brisk breeze greets my body, sending a shiver down my spine. With the moon tucked behind the clouds I pull out a small torch and set it ablaze to guide my route. I make my way to the end of the fields surrounding my house and stand at the opening of the Copper Forest. As I enter the flames dance around and the light glow causes the tree's to shimmer a copper color. I've travelled this path many times, but never after dark. Noises stir all around me, creatures of the night moving about, hunting for their late night snack no doubt.

        After several hours of walking I finally see the start of Faewen. 20 years after its destruction and the embers still burn bright and are hot to the touch.  Tonight I will find my history...some how.
Yo ho Yo ho!

I am  Alanna  , part human, part elf, part dragon. My mother was   a great elf queen, my father was a great dragon king and warrior. Some called him the Green Dragon. They are gone now. They perished in the great battle  to save Faewen, along with most of my realtives.  I am the only remaining Dragon.
But none is this is known to me yet.  As far as I know, I am princess Alanna, daugher of  the king and queen of Arin.
The only thing i know is that i posess unusual powers.  I am able to  shoot flames of fire from my hands.
  I have talked  to my parents about this, but they tell me not to talk about my powers.

Anyway, I am excited  for  today is  my 16'th birthday, and  my parents have informed me that they have something very important  to tell me.

I enter the great hall, where my father and  mother sit.  Beside  them sits  Derlin, the master wizard.
  " Alanna,"  My father says to me," We have asked Derlin  to come here to help escort you on your  journey ."
   " Journey father ?" I ask," Where am I going ?"
   " Alanna it is time  you know  who you really are ," says  my father,"  You mother  and I  are your adopted parents.   Derlin brought you to us for your own protection after your real parents  were killed in the battle of  Faewen."
    " Faewen," I exclaim," But i thought Faewen was only  a  myth."
   " Oh no,"  replies Derlin," It is very real, and you are the last descendant of  Faewen.  You are part human, part elf, part dragon.  Your mother was a great elf  queen, and your father was the great dragon  king  known as  the green dragon.  Now that you have  come of age, it is  time  for  you to return to Faewen,  and rule  as queen  ."
      "  This is all a joke," i shout,"  I  can't be a dragon, or  a  elf. This i s not real. I don't belive it.  I  won't go  ."
     "  I am afraid  you have no choice ,"  says Derlin," Faewen needs you. Without you, many lives  will be in danger, for there is a evil there lurking around, and  only you and one other have  the power  to  stop it."
      "  One other,"  I say,"  Who is  this other  ?"
     " He is a   warrior  and  a  elf,"  replies  Derlin,"  Neither one of  you know it yet, but your paths are destine  to cross.  You are met  to  meet and marry, and together you and your offspring will rid Faewen of evil ."
       "  What !" I exclaim,"  I am  to marry a complete stranger. Oh this is too good  to be true.  No way, i will have no part of it, destiny  or  not."    I turn and  start to walk out and  then  i stop and  think..
   "  Tell me Derlin, have  you seen  my future husband? Is he handsome ?"
     "  Very handsome  . You would be quite pleased,"  replies Derlin.
     " Okay," I say with a smile,"  I'll  go with you ."

Derlin, and i start out on our long journey. along the way, he teaches me about  being a dragon.He hands me a dragon amulet and tells me how  to summon the powers of a dragon.
  We arrived in Faewen ( a hour  ahead of Drake ), and i start to explore.  Everything is in ruins, and embers still burn.   I am at a loss for  words and my heart starts to ache.  this was my home. My birthplace.      I sit among   a  tall cliff in  my dragon form, when i see a tall stranger( Drake ) in the  distance.I spread my wings  and  swoop down in front, shooting out a burst of  flames  at his feet.
  " Who are you and  what do you want here ?  You are entering the sacred ground of Faewen and  we don't take lightly  to strangers ,"  I hiss .

Derlin comes racing towards us .
" Derlin, old friend,am i glad to see you," says Drake   rubbing his slightly scorched boot," That thing there just tried  to kill me."
" Thing," I snap,"I am no thing sir !"
"  Well," says Derlin, I had not expected you two to mett so soon,but anyway, Alanna meet your future husband Drake. Drake meet your future wife Alanna."
  " What !" I exclaim.
" You are joking old friend," laughs Drake," Me marry that. Why it's  a dragon ."
  " and what is wrong with a dragon?"  I retort.
  " Well," replies Drake," Look at you..your huge, fat, scaley, and have a long tail..."
   " Fat! Did you just call me  fat  !"     I  fly off .
   " Smooth move  Drake,"  says  Derlin.
   " What!" replies Drake," It was just some dragon. And great joke by  the  way friend. Me marrying a dragon."
   " Ah, but it was no joke Drake," replies Derlin,"You are meant to marry Alanna. And by the way she is only part dragon. You should  see her, in her human form. She is quite beautiful, but seeing how  you just insulted her, she will probably never speak to you ."

I enter the scene. My name is Ayren. I am the last remaing Elven Princess of Fawewn...I was a baby when my family and everything around me was destroyed. My mother, being both Queen and High Priestess of Faewen, had me smuggled out to a neighboring Elven community who were, sympathtic to us. I grew up there in Val'du and while living there I studied the magic that my mother had passed to me with her death. I learned the plants of the forest, the animals of the sky, land and sea. I threw myself into preparing for my return to Faewen. I have been here for nearly three months and for as long as  I have been here I have watched this man lurk about...searching...when I see the dragon girl fly away from the two men I apporach.

Neither hear me as I walk up behind them, but as a strong wind comes through the night my long red hair is blown out of its band and catches the eye of the younger male. He turns quickly and pulls his sword, but before he can move an inch toward me I have my blade at his heart.

"Now, you can lower this toothpick of a sword and tell me why you have come to my lands or I can carve out your heart and find your true intentions myself" I mutter quietly, my voice a deadly whisper on the wind.

"Who...who.. are you? And what gives you the right to claim these lands?" he stammars as he tries to inch away from the point of the blade.

"I am Ayren. High Priestess and Queen of Faewen" I declare my voice rolling through the air thick with the power of the Ancient Mother.

The old man drops to his knees and bows before us saying, "I did not believe the rummors that you had lived...that you had surrvived....how?"

"That is my concern. Who are you? And how have such rummors been brought to your  ears old man?" I ask softly gazing at him, my blade still at the young ones heart.

"My name is Derlin I was a councilman in your father's court. He gave me this before he died." As he spoke he reached into his shirt and pulled out a silver locket. As he handed it to me I dropped my blade and paid no more attention to the young man. On the locket was  a dragon with a ridier, inside the locket was a lock of hair and a tiny scroll. "Hahaha" I laugh weakly, "It's a si'kvul, a voice scroll..." I walk to a boulder and sit as my green eyes fill with tears...I look up to see them watching me....

"For the first time in my life, I am going to hear my father's voice."

I see the  Derlin, and the person called Drake  talking to a young female.  I have to take  adoublr take  cause  she looks  alot  like me.  How  can this be ?   I fly down for  a closer look.  I approach from behind, so no one sees me coming.  I transform myself into my human form and   go to greet the others.
Drake looks at me and then at Ayren.

" Are my eyes playing tricks on me?" he asks Derlin," Now i see two of  them ."
" There are two of  them ," replies Derlin," Alanna, and Ayren are twin sisters .You can tell them apart by the birthmarks  they both have on their lower backs. Alanna's is a small diamond,and Ayren's is  a star . "
  " Sisters," I exclaim," But why was she allowed to stay here, while i was casted off ?"
" That was not the case,"replies Derlin," Your mother had me smuggle off the both of you ."
  " But why to different places ?" asks Ayren,"  Why did you keep me  from  my twin sister  ?"
   " It was for security  reasons," answers  Derlin," If anything was to happen to one of you, atleast  the other sister would be safe ."
   " But you just said you thought Ayren was  dead ," remarks Drake.
    " Derlin what is going on," I demand,"  I want  the  truth."
  "  The truth is," replies Derlin," You are both sisters. Your mother was the high elf queen, your father the Dragon king.  During the great war here, you parents  were both killed, but before your mother died , fearing for her young infants  safety she had me  smuugle  you both off.   I was to take you both to the  same place, but  as i was on  my journy with you both  i felt  that i was  being watched.  I decided that i could not risk having something happen to the both of  you,  so i took you to seperate places. Twas led to believe Ayren was dead, because Val'du was not the place i had taken here. I had brought her somewhere else.  To a soceress friend of mine.  But she ended up betraying me, and sold Ayren  to a band of gypsies  as  a young infant. When i was told about i hunted down every band of gypsies i came across.  Years passed  before i came acroos a band of gypsies who told me of a young infant that was stolen  by a band of elven warriors.    I prayed that it was Ayren, but id not know till now.
As for Alanna, I visted  her often and  was known to her as the wise old  wizard. I kept a close eye on Allana  cause i nedded to keep one of you alive  in order to protect Faewen.  But now that you are both  alive you can rule together  and rid  this land of evil, for  your powers  combined together  equal a force  never seen before."

I look at Ayren, and fight back the tears. I hold  my arms out to her and  say," Sister ."  We  embrace  and both let the tears flow  down.
  " You would probably like to see this too," Ayren says  to me handing me the locket Derlin had given her," It is our father ."

I look at it, and   then  hand it back to her and  shout,"  I'm sorry, this is  all more then i can handle  right now. I don't know what to think. I feel like  my life has been one  big  lie. My parents  who i thought were my parents  are not really  my parents.  Growing up i was led to think i was some freak, cause i had these strange powers.  I find out i am part elf  and  dragon and  am to marry Drake  and  rule Faewen. And then i find out i have a twin sister too . I'm soory, i need time  to think.I  don't know what to belive  or  who to trust."
  I storm off.

" And she is the one I am suppose  to marry ?" asks Drake.
Derlin nods his head.
" Oh boy," sighs Drake.
" Give her time," says Ayren," I have  to admit i am trying to make sense of this  all myself  too, but unlike Alanna i did not have a family I left behind.  The elves i lived  with were more like friends.  I always knew they were not my real  parents. Alanna maybe feeling hurt  and  betrayed right now. "

*I walk away from the others and sit cross legged on the grass, my sword back in its sheath. I hear someone walk up behind me.*

Mind if I sit here? asks Drake.

Sit if you please, I respond.

*We sit in silence for quiet some time, finally Drake breaks the silence.*

You knew all along that you were adopted?

*I nod slightly*

I always knew that the ones who raised me were not my family. I wouldn't call living with someone adoption..they provided a home, but there was no love in our "family". *Slowly I shrugged and began to stand*

*Drake catches my arm and pulls me back down*

Please, you've been watching me for months....I need to know, why didn't you say anything..why didn't you let me know that you were there?

I shrug off his arm, "I was supposed to. I felt...a connection...I don't know. I just didn't want you messing up my home I suppose."

Drake watches as I walk away and calls after me..."I felt you watching me..."

*I continue to walk away...I sit at the foot of a large oak tree and pull out the scroll. As I open the scroll a voice fills the air...*

My darling Ayren, I have so much to say and so little time. As I speak the warriors are at the walls...if your mother and I don't make it know that we loved you. You and your sister are out heart and soul. There is a young boy, his parents are good friends of ours...he was taken outside of Faewen a few weeks ago. Please find him and take care of him....you, he and your sister are betrothed. Yes I know this may come as a shock. But we never intended for it to be told to you this way, the intentions were that whoever fell in love with him would marry him. He is the key...mingling our bloodlines will save our people...I love you so much...your father...

*I collapse in tears and cry out my pain...when I look up I see Drake watching me....wanting to come comfort me. I bound into the woods needing time...not knowing that Drake had heard every word.*

 **************************************************************************
   Since i have my tremors and  can't sleep, i thought i do some  writing.
**********************************************************************

I  wander off across the burnt and blacken ground, trying to gather my thoughts. I come to a small lake and sit down to think. Thoughts of confusion,bretrayal, anger, sadness, and pain fill my mind.
" You are hurting ?" says a voice.
" Who said that ?" I shout," Who is there ?"
" Ah, you are also angry, good, it is good to be angry ," the voice replies.
" Who are you, show yourself," I shout.
" Feel your anger," the voice calls back," Use your anger. The others have betrayed you. Use your powers and destroy the others before they destroy you.Kill the one  they call Drake  and your  sister."
  " Never !" I shout," I maybe angry,but i would never kill anyone ."
" Ah, you say that now," laughs the voice," But you will change ."
" I demand  you show  youself," I shout.
       Suddenly  a large black  evil looking  dragon raises out of  the  water.A cold wind starts to blow.I grow very cold, and i start to shake.
  " Come forth,"  calls the dragon.
    I try to shout, but i  find  my voice gone.  I  am growing colder  and I turn running as  fast as  I can.

  I am running so fast, I end up bumping right into Drake. We both  fall to ground.
" Ayren or Alanna ?" asks Drake.
   I  do not replie. I try, but I  can't. I am  still shaking all over.
  Drake notices i am trembling.
  " Alanna or Ayren, what is wrong ? You look like you have seen a ghost ."
    Drake hands me his cloak  and pulls me close  to him.
" You are like ice,what happen out there?" asks Drake  rubbing my hands . I try to speak, but can't.My body grows colder.
  " I need to get you back to the others," says Drake and he picks me up in his arms  and heads off to find  the others.

We meet up with the others.Derlin is  sitting with Ayren
" Alanna," cries Derlin,"What has happen?"
" I found her running like crazy," answers Drake," As if she had seen a ghost or  something. She has been shaking all over and  has not  said  a  word."
  Derlin looks me over.
  " She can't say a word cause she is under a spell ," remarks  Derlin.

   " What kind of spell," asks Ayren," and who would  do this  to her ?"
    I grab my dragon amulet  and point to it.
   " She is trying to tell us  something ,"  says Drake.
   I keep pointing to the amulet.
   " Amulet," asks Drake.
I shake my head and keep pointing to the dragon on the  amulet.
   " Dragon ?" asks Ayren. 
   I nod  my head.
   " You saw  another dragon here ?' asks Ayren.
   I nod my head and then point  towrds Drake grabbing his dark colored hair.  I keep pointing at his hair.
   " A dark dragon...  a black dragon,?' asks Ayren.
   " The black dragon !" exclaims Derlin," No Alanna, say you did not see the black dragon."
    I keep pointing.
      " Ayren," says Derlin," As Alanna's twin,  you should be able  to communicate with her and read her mind.  Use your powers  and see what she has seen ."
    "  I can try," answers Ayren, and she begins  to channel her powers.  Suddenly she begins  to tremble.
    " What is it Ayren ," aks Drake grabbing Ayren's arm.
   " A black demon like creature...it is  a dragon, biggest dragon i have ever seen..there is a evil about it."
   " The black dragon !" exclaims Derlin,"  The rumors are true. He is still alive  ."
    " Who is this black dragon ?' asks Drake.
    " He was known as Rhivel, part elf, part dragon, and as sinister as  they come. He was the one  who killed Ayren's  and Alanna's  parents."
   " and now he is back," says Drake.
     " Yes," answers Derlin," and now he knows that Alanna is here, and he probably knows that Ayren is too, and he  won't stop until he  destroys  them both ."
I sudenly go unconscious. They try to wake me, but can't.
       
" I think i know the spell he put on  my sister,"  says Ayren," I have  heard the elves in my village where i grew up talk of such a  spell. It is a death spell ."
    "  A death spell," remarks Drake," But i thought Derlin  had said that both Ayren and Alanna had powers strong enough to fight  any evil."
   " They do," replied Derlin," but remember Alanna is still learning about hers. It is all new to her. "
   " So what do we do to break the spell then ? "  asks Drake.
   " You have to kiss her," replies Ayren.
    " Pardon ?" remarks Drake.
   " I'm serious," replies Ayren," The kiss of death can only be broken by a kiss of love ."
    " But  we just met,"  says Drake," How do i know if i love her."
    "  Oh for goodness sake Just kiss her please,"  snaps Ayren at Drake,"  I would think you would jump at the chance  to kiss a beautiful princess. Or perhaps you don't like  woman . You aren't one of  thoose  type,I have heard about you male  humans." ;D ;D ;D ;D
  " Har, Har !" remarks Drake and leans over and gives me a long  tender kiss.   i do not wake.
  " It did not work," says Ayren," This is not looking good  for you sir .Are you sure there is not anything you would like to tell us." ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
   "  I do not like men,"  snaps Drake," there must be another spell on her."
   "  No," says Derlin," Th kiss did not wake Alanna, cause it has to be  a kiss of love, and you have not fallen  in  love  with her yet."
   " So what do we do," cries Ayren," I can't let her die. We just found each other. Alanna please  don't die. I love  you sister."
  " That is it !" exclaims Drake," Ayren kiss your  sister."
   " What ?' asks Ayren.
   " Kiss your sister ,"   says Drake.
   Ayren leans over and kisses me.  I  wake up.
   " What in the world !" i remark staring up into Ayren's  face," What do you think you are doing ?"
    " You two make a lovely couple," teases  Drake ," I am sure you will both me happy together."
    " What!" I exclaim," What is going on ?"
      " Welcome back sis !" cries  Ayren  sticking her tongue out at Drake. ;D ;D

"I'm glad we are all having a good time, but there is a Black Dragon out there we need to be worried about," I say

Alanna, Derlin, and Ayren all give me a serious look.

"I know my part in this world. I know my parents weren't just friends of yours. They were guardians, they protected them with there lives to the very end, and that is my fate. My fate is to protect both of you."

I pace back and forth and everyone's eyes are fixated on me.

"My foster parents thought they could hide who I am, but I found out, I found my past and my future on my own, and I will live to keep you safe, in honor of my parents."

Suddenly out from the direction I carried Alanna from, the tree's burn apart and a large black form walks up to the clearing. It spreads its wings wide and lets out a wicked roar.

"Last Elves of Faewen, your end is near!" It yells.

I move forward drawing my bow and a single arrow, I aim the arrow at the dragon and hold it in place.

"You killed my parents, you killed Alanna and Ayrens parents, you killed our people. You will rue this day Rhivel.."

I begin an elvish chant my foster father had taught me when I was younger. The arrow shutters a bit and bursts into a blue flame.

Rhivel laughs loudly, "Pathetic half-breed, what can you do with a spell like that!?"

I let the arrow rip and as it does the ground in front of us tears apart sending Derlin, Ayren, and Alanna backwards a few feet. The arrow hits Rhivels chest and explodes, causing him to rear up.

"You..you stupid half-breed!...wait..I know you...your the son of Illonidil and Elariel...but Drake isn't your real name! Until you learn your real name you will never accomplish the same feats your pathetic mother and father have!"

Rhivel spreads his wings and soars away, but I'm left wondering...my real name...what does he mean...
Yo ho Yo ho!

*I rush forward towards Drake*
Are you alright?

*My hands shake as I reach out to him*

I'm fine, *he answer as he walks to a boulder*

*I follow him for a momment and sit beside him...*

Would you like to talk about it? *I reach down to touch his hand but hesitate right above it. I draw my hand back, not knowing that Drake is watching with an amused smile*

Well there really isn't much to talk about...just found out that my name isn't my name. Have you always been afraid to touch men?
*I look up startled, as I get up to leave I hear him chuckle behind me and wonder why does this man unnerve me so*

I watch Ayren as she walks away and I grab her hand.

"You don't need to be afraid, while I'm still not 100% sure who I am...I feel a connection with you. I don't know why I'm being told to marry Alanna. I know your identical twins, but when I've felt your presence every time I came here."

Ayren gives me a sad look, she wants to say something more, but she just turns and walks away

"Am I not free to choose for myself?" I yell out to Ayren.

She stops for a few moments and silence ensues. "Free to choose what?"

"Who I give my heart too.." I reply.

Ayren turns to me with a serious look on her face and takes a step forward

"I won't let my hearts fate be pre-determined. If I had to choose a wife right now I'd choose you. I knew you were watching me, I always wanted to meet you. I was never scared, I just would enjoy the feeling that washed over me."

Ayren walks up to me and stops before me. "Prove it," she says.

I take Ayren in my arms and give her a long passionate kiss, when we stop and I look up I see Derlin and Alanna watching from a far.

"I'm sorry...maybe I took that too far," I say as I turn and head into the woods.
Yo ho Yo ho!

I sit where Drake has left me...left me....I sigh

He won't stand up to my sister and an old man for his "love" so what happens when there is a real test I wonder to myself.

I grab my bow and stalk off towards the fleeting sunlight in the neighboring woods....

"I'm going to get dinner"

"So stupid.." I mutter to myself.

With my bow in hand I pace around in the woods until I notice a small door jutting out of the mountain side. My curiosity gets the best of me and I wander over. As I'm walking over I feel the presence I've felt every day for the past 10 years...Ayren is near.

I shrug off the feeling and head towards the door, when I get closer I feel a wierd sensation pulling me in. The door frame is stone, but its not the same as the mountain, it looks like an rock slide may of crush what the door led to. There are old burned branches laying around the entrance, one of them stands out.

"Whats this..." I lean down and grab the edge of a piece of partially burned wood. I pull it out and brush off age old ashes and dirt. It has writing on it.

"Dieris...home? This was someones home..."

Another look down and I notice a small chest, it looks like it was never touched. It is a jade color with golden parts and other gems ingraved in it. The small clip holding it shut opens without a struggle. Inside is a locke of hair, a hair pin, and a pipe. Suddenly my legs fall limp and I collapse to the ground, still grasping the box. A vision crosses my mind...its an  elf, a man, a child...is this me? they call out to me..but its not my name..I couldn't understand it...

When I finally realize whats happening Ayren runs to my side and grabs me to pick me up, I feel so light headed and can barely comprehend whats happening. Out of the corner of my eye I see Derlin and Alanna coming towards us waving there arms wildly. Ayren looks behind us and I see the look of panic in her eyes.

I try to turn my head but the sound I hear gives it away..Wretched...they live in Derloon Swamp to the east, but they have been coming farther into the ruined forest as time goes by. I push Ayren away and turn around to see several of them, but I'm to dizzy to tell how many or how fast. Ayren steps in front of me and pulls back her draw string to let an arrow fly, Derlin and Alanna run out to help as well. Everything is moving so fast, I can't get my bearings back. I see a large Wretched running towards Ayren with his club out, I move clumsily but manage to get in front of her and hug her tight as I push her away. I feel the pain surge through my back and as I'm falling, in that split second I hear an explosion of the Wretcheds head behind me..someone got it..good...then I black out.
Yo ho Yo ho!

I sit where Drake has left me...left me....I sigh

He won't stand up to my sister and an old man for his "love" so what happens when there is a real test I wonder to myself.

I grab my bow and stalk off towards the fleeting sunlight in the neighboring woods....

"I'm going to get dinner"
