Ruffnut felt a tingle, a rush and some embarrassment, was that from Mindy or herself?

Yeah well, I'm not going anywhere. She answered automatically and felt defensive and protective as she did every time she thought back to that dream.

You're my best friend, you're...more then that. You're dangerous, you're powerful, You make me feel better then anyone else. I um...you know... This was the greatest test of her courage and determination yet. As a Viking she wasn't much for talking about her feelings, but she wore them on her sleeve.

Her throat closed up and her face began turning red, redder, bright red,
"I totally freaking love you ok?!" She burst out loud which made the embarrassment even worse. She could just die now.
