This is about Alanna and Jonathan, I always loved the couple from the very start and was very dissapointed when they didn´t marry in the end
(I was 11 at that time, and thought that Jonathan was the perfect Prince :)!But as I grew older I began to understand why Alanna refused Jon in the
end, now at the age of 18 I completely agree with Alanna and her choice (George is good for her, but Liam was also very cool! Yes, the famous Shang
Dragon!! Lucky with men isn´t she?!) But then I read on Tamora Pierce´s Homepage that in her original script Jonathan and Alanna indeed married!
I was very surprised by that! So I decide to write about my old, new favourite couple Alanna the squire (at the time of my story), and about Jonathan the prince and knight!)
Before you read the story remind yourself on the books again..and here we go!

An Song of the Lionness (In the Hand of the Goddess) Fanfic by Kitty
Alanna had realized that she was jealous of Delia of Eldorne the very first day she met the young noble lady at court. But she would´ve never admit that she actually was! To Gary and Raoul she just always said that she didn´t like the girl. Myles however had probably seen through her, because what he had said about her beeing jealous was more than true. She just wasn´t jealous because of the reasons that Myles thought she was!
So although Alanna was scared of war she was at the other end happy that she had not to see Delia for a few month now. She also felt very proud of beeing Jonathans squire, something that most people at court could not understand. How could Jonathan chose someone as small and weak (in their eyes) as Alan was? Anyway, the young girl felt more than happy now riding next to Jonathan in the sunset to the east where Tusaine laid. As she looked up to the young man next to her she couldn´t help but notice how beautiful he was. His coal black hair, his shining blue eyes...like heaven. He looked even more good than Roger, no wonder that all the ladies at court nearly went crazy when Jonathan passed by. And no wonder that Jonathan liked Delia so much, she was so beautiful that Alanna was nothing against it. For the first time in her life Alanna wished to be Delia very much, Jonathan just gave the noble lady so much attention. Alanna at the other end was ´just` his friend, the same as Gary and Raoul.Even though he knew that she was a girl he never treated her like one. At the one hand Alanna was happy about that fact at the other just sad and a little bit angry. Alanna shook her her head. What was she thinking? She was riding to a war right now, a real adventure lay in front of her. And if she wanted romance that much she could have just tell George to be with her. She blushed a bit at the thought of him kissing her goodbye. ~Stop, it right now Alanna, or you´ll trun into one of those girls you hate so much~,she thought with fury. At least Faithful wasn´t there, he would have seen her blush and would tease without stoping.
*What are you staring at Alan?*, Jonathan wanted to know.*Um, nothing Jon. I.. just, er, think that the dawning sun is very nice..*the girl replied. *Oh, gosh, you´re turning mushy with growing age, hmm? We are riding to a war, remember that. Maybe we should have left you in Corus.* Jonathan smiled evilly. Alanna grew angry again looked at him and nearly shouted *What have you said? YOU are the one that should have been left at court. It was you, not me that was packed in wool all your life.* *I´m sorry. Really,*he looked around to make sure that nobody was listening and then said very softly,*I´m just afraid, that maybe something will happen to you. You are not even 16. I know that you´re an brilliant fighter but, I just don´t want to loose you Alanna. * The squire looked up to the prince, *It´s ok Jon, I know how to look after myself.* Jonathan nodded and turned his attention to Gary and Raoul who where chatting about the new ladies at court. Alanna felt strange. He had called her *Alanna*, that was something very rare. And the look he gave her when, he said he cared. Suddenly Alanna felt even more odd. There was something in her spine running in her stomach. It felt like butterflies. She looked forward now to the Drell River for other reasons than war and adventure at the moment! TBC
