"Alanna!" Jonathan pounded on her door, "Wake up!"
The door opened to reveal a tousled and furious looking Alanna, " Jon, just what is so important that you had to wake me up in the middle of the night?"
He grinned and tugged on her arm, " It's a surprise, now come on."
Alanna groaned, "Jon couldn't this have waited till morning? And you know I hate surprises now tell me where you're taking me!" Jon shook his head and continued to drag his champion along. Jonathan eventually led her deep into the palace gardens then finally stopped next to the rose bushes.
Alanna opened her mouth to ask what they were doing here but Jon placed a large hand over her mouth and told her, "I won't tell you what's going on if you start to argue." Alanna rolled her eyes and nodded. "Watch this," he cupped a rose in his hand and it briefly shone with his sapphire Gift. He then opened his hands to reveal a rose of which each petal was either sapphire or violet. The colors matching Jonathan and Alanna's eyes perfectly. Jon smiled as he watched Alanna admire the rose and said, "Happy birthday Alanna."
Alanna smiled and hugged Jon, "It's beatiful, but why did you have to wake me up in the middle of the night to show me this? It could have waited till morning."
Jon grinned mischieviously, "No reason…I just wanted to wake you up at night for my own entertainment." Alanna hit him on the arm. "That hurt!" Jon said rubbing his arm.
"Good." And with that Alanna turned and went back to her room, rose in hand.
Jon chuckled and he too returned to his room.
