Sexual Content: Um, well, kinda sort of…maybe? It’s more than just sex though, it’s about a state of mind really.

Acknowledgements: Well, I was fortunate enough to be given this idea by Claire Withercross who is far too busy with her way better stories to have been bothered with this one. For some reason she thought of me…you’ll understand after you read a bit…or maybe not. Anyway, Claire, thanks for all your help and encouragement. You are just the best and I am sure proud to be your #1 stalker still…I am right? Also, thanks would have to go to Chantal for generally putting up with me and very often fixing up my English and spelling. The funny thing is that English is my native language and her second one and she corrects me all the time. What’s that about? Raindrop, you’re the best. Finally, I just want to say thanks to the gang at the Bardic Circle…you guys are great and I’m proud to be among you.

Feedback: Oh yes, I love the stuff! BlindzonElyzon@aol.com

Subject : Hi!

Hi Xena,

My name is Gabrielle, some call me Gabby, and I just wanted to write and tell you how much I enjoy what you do. I’ve kinda been studying warriors and princesses and well, I just think you blend these two vastly different types of personalities in such a unique way, well I was just kind of wondering if I could correspond with you and ask a few questions.

If you wouldn’t mind it too much, I know I could learn loads from you.

A fan, Gabrielle

Hi Xena!

I was so excited to get a reply from you that I just had to write you right away! Oh, this is so great, your willingness to answer my questions and my being able to learn from the best there has ever been. What an opportunity for me! Gee, you sure are great about this. <g

Okay, I have so many questions to ask you but I’ll try not to overwhelm you with my curiosity…some people say I’m too curious for my own good, but if you don’t ask questions and try to figure things out, how are you supposed to learn? I admit that time I looked in that window the night Helena and Rufus got married may not have been the best decision, but if the tree branch hadn’t broken, and who’d of thought it would swing in that direction, and what do you think the chances are that I end up smack dab on Rufus’ back while he was…well, just say that Rufus spent the rest of the night out in the rocker when he said something about a threesome. Not sure what that was all about though, I never was really any good in mathematics!

So here’s my question and something I’ve been wondering about for a long time, why’d you use to call Argo a ‘him’ all the time? For a while you kept saying stuff like, "What’s a matter boy…hold onto his reins", and such. Even I who don’t care much for horses; really it’s that they don’t care much for me for some reason, but I try to not take it personal; well, I can tell the difference between a male and female horse! So could you explain this to me and if it's alright, can I ask more questions?

Thanks again for writing me back!

Gabrielle

Gabrielle,

Argo is a gelding with a sexual identity issue. You can ask another question, just not about Argo, she is still recovering from her last outing.

Subject : Puppies!!

Oh my Xena,

Poor Argo! How difficult it must be for her. Not that there is anything wrong with it. Is there something I could do to help? I’ve been told that when people with problems talk with me, they just don’t seem to care anymore and I don’t really understand why this is, but it must have something to do with jumping for joy…but off a bridge? People can be so silly when they get to feeling better! Anyway, if there is anything I can say or do for Argo, please let me know.

Okay, since Argo is out…oh my, aren’t I the funny girl!! Seriously, I believe horses have the right to be all they can be, especially warhorses. I’ll just steer away from talking about it anymore and maybe ask a question I hope you won’t mind. One of the things I noticed in my studies of you are the clothes you wear. C’mon, just how practical is that leather outfit you have now? What I’m really wondering is, how in Zeus’ name you stay in it when you do all those flips and such? I know you have many skills, but do you have those puppies trained to stay?

Goodness, I was rather bold there in my questioning…I tend to forget myself when I can’t figure something out and really want to understand it. Once, I nearly lost my head with excitement learning about the dung spreader one of our villagers invented, Mechaniclese, maybe you’ve heard of him? I kind of got a little too close to that contraption while having a good look at it and almost had my brains sorted. Fortunately most of Mechaniclese inventions don’t work so great and well, no harm no fowl…really, no harm to me, but eesh! That poor chicken!!!!

Mechaniclese now affectionately calls me ‘dung for brains’. He’s such a nice man, albeit a tad on the smelly side. Occupational hazard I guess.

Write me when you get the chance.

Oh Xena!

How marvellous…gravity defying bosoms! <chortling to my own self> And I’m glad you brought up your many skills. Is there anything you just can’t do? My goodness, you are truly amazing from your skill with your weapons, to your horsemanship, (btw, Say ‘Hi!’ to Argo for me), to your ability to lead men into battle, all the way to shaking your groove thing in a harem. I mean WOW!!! You are just too incredible and somebody I’d love to be just like. I’m sure I could learn so much from you, especially if I were ever to meet you.

I kinda did notice however, that you never talk about food or cooking anything. I mean, you look so healthy and beautifully fit, so you must eat nutritiously…so who does the cooking? I myself am a wonderful cook and ever since that unfortunate fire in my mother’s cooking area, well I’ve gotten quite good at barbecue. All the neighbors say to me, Gabby! (it always sounds as if they are so happy to see me and say my name so loud, almost yelling even…kind of funny how that is, like I’m hard of hearing, but I do every time, even when the siren is wailing to call the neighbors to help extinguish another blaze that seems to crop up at the most inopportune times, always around dinner.) Gabby!!! You made another six alarm meal!!!!" Not real sure where they all came up with their rating system, but I usually get at least six alarms. Sometimes more if I try to make something special like my flaming cherries jubilee. But I was asked to stop making that because of so many complaints of heartburn. They’d say, "Those cherries cause too much burnin’", and started a petition to ask me to stop. Why the magistrate got involved I’m not totally clear about?

But aside from my famous dessert, I would absolutely love to cook for you sometime. You’d just have to let me know what is your favorite meal and I’d be thrilled to make it!

Hugs!

Gabrielle J

Xena!

You’re dieting? Whatever for, you’re perfect just the way you are!! I mean, goodness, if only I could look so good in leather like you, but that time I put on my genuine replica of your leathers, well it just didn’t accentuate the positives like it does for you. I thought dying my hair black would help the look more, even my pony is now golden in color, but its just not the same.

Anyway, there is a question I’ve been wondering the answer to for a very long time, but just wasn’t too sure if it wasn’t too personal. Now that we have gotten to know each other better, well I thought it would be okay to ask since we’re friends. Xena, I can’t help but notice you have a problem with commitment…you know, relationships. You keep going after those ‘bad boys’ and it gets you nowhere. The only male relationship that worked for you was with your brother Lyceus and wasn’t he a little on the girly side!!! Xena, I think you’re trying to deny who and what you really are…I mean the leather alone should have been a dead give away…you are a…cradle robber at heart!!!! It’s okay Xena, don’t worry, I can help you, I want to help you…you just have to let me. I know you like’em young, it goes with that whole dominant streak you got going, and me Xena, I’m young, nubile even and willing to be there for you!!!!!!!

Oh dear, I have to fly or I’ll be late for my appointment with the healer again. He gives me these wonderful herbs that just clear my thoughts so well and allow me to focus on what is truly important in life. That and it seems to keep the Furies at bay, they don’t seem to come around as much as they use to…I do kind of miss them though. Oh well, at least I have you now to be with.

Have a wonderful day and I’ll be thinking about you.

With love, Gabrielle!

Dearest Xena,

LOL! You are such a kidder!!! But its not like I haven’t heard that one before, really you need to get some new material, but its good to see you working on your sense of humor. You know you should smile more, you have a completely captivating smile and every time I see it…oh Xena, there is so much I want to say to you, tell you what I’m thinking, plans for our future, my bringing you untold happiness.

Did you ever have the dream of being so much like someone and learning from them and then becoming their best friend and confidante, and then…after a season of getting to know one another, think you would become their lover? Do you believe in soulmates Xena? That there is that one special person out there waiting for you? I do and felt it the moment I laid eyes on you. I know we are meant to be together in this lifetime and so many more to come. Now if we could only actually meet, you would know I’m right. All those others I thought were the real thing, were mere infatuations…I was so confused then. As each was taken from me by the Fates, but I know with you, this time will be different!!

Xena, I will take care of you and your big horse too, if only you give me your home address.

With a love that cannot be stilled, Gabrielle

Subject : <G!!!!

Oh happy day!!!! When Xena, when will you be here?? I never dreamed you’d be willing to come live with me in my small and slightly well-done village. Knowing that you are willing to settle down and to be with me…imagine my joy!!!!! Oh, and you don’t have to worry about my family, they’re already on vacation…somewhere…so they won’t be in our way.

<giggling nervously> Is that ‘crucifying’ you made mention of, one of those…kinky positions I’ve heard tell of? I do realize that a woman such as yourself, a leather wearer, probably has…many ideas to go with those many skills. All I ask is…you be gentle with me... the first time!!!!! After that, all bets are off!!!!!

Xena, I knew you would know…that we are meant to be together. Your past, your dark ways, I don’t care about them for I can see the real you and I know I can guide you…be the light in your darkness. I can change you Xena. I will bring you so much happiness because you will finally find what you have been seeking all those times you ravaged a village, killed a man, destroyed a family…love. You were looking for love in all the wrong places Xena, but know that you have now found it with me.

I am waiting for you!!!!

With a love deeper than any sea, Gabrielle

Subject : Peek-a-boo!!!

There you are you silly warrior you!!! I had such a time of it getting a hold of you again. You are the slippery one aren’t you…but here I am and still wondering when you’ll get here. I know all that warrioring takes time and lots of energy, but if you don’t take care of yourself…well, I’ll just have to do it for you. I can be the one that takes you away from all the demands of life and give you what you really need…me!!!!!

Oh, have you moved recently? The package I sent you came back unopened and there didn’t seem to be any forwarding address. I sent something very special to you, it's my own creation and they’re to die for…or so I’ve been told. Little dough-like cakes with sweet jam inside. I think you’d love them, my pony did and the silly thing ate way too many of them…she was a good pony...I miss her.

Anyway, I was thinking…I do that all the time you know, sometimes I have a problem slowing down and just relaxing because I have all these great ideas and since I stopped taking those herbs, the Furies have been ever so helpful with their suggestions about being with you…let me see, where was I? I thought it would probably work out best if I came to you…no, don’t worry, I already know where you live. Some nice warlord gave me the directions after I did some talking to convince him how important I am to you. He wasn’t too sure at first, but he finally saw it my way…warlords can just be so stubborn sometimes. Oh, and I hear he is going to recover with little permanent damage from that freakish accident he had. You’d think in their line of business they would learn to be more careful with their own weapons…not just leave them lying about for anybody to get a hold of!!

I best hurry now so I don’t miss my ride to get to you. I’ll be there sometime in the next day…I do want you to have some surprises to look forward to.

Loving and wanting you all for myself, Gabrielle

CRAZED FAN ATTACKS WARRIOR

 

Xena: Warrior Princess, formerly known as the Destroyer Of Nations, was nearly destroyed by a deranged fan.

"It was a close call for the Princess," a spokesperson for the warrior said in her statement released earlier today. "Xena has so many loyal fans and this one seemed innocent enough, but she crossed that line into fanaticism and fantasy."

Constable reports show that Gabrielle of Potidooda, gained entry to Xena’s vacation home by posing as a visiting bard. The warlord sustained minor injuries and numerous hickies fighting off her assailant, and eventually was able to keep the woman subdued with a series of her trademarked pinches.

The spokesperson for Xena further stated, "We knew there was something wrong with her when she began citing her poem ‘Let Me Prove My Love To You’ while brandishing a rabbit."

The attraction, nearly fatal and most definitely one sided, resulted in the young woman being taken into custody. Psychiatric evaluations will determine the level of prosecution or institutionalization.
