*Fool*
Lyrics by Shakira
**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**
*Tell me lies, slap me on the face, just.../ Improvise, do something really clever,/ That'll make me hate your name forever*
Alanna of Trebond, female knight errant of the kingdom of Tortall, paced her tent. It had been a week since she and Jon had fought, but she couldn't stop thinking about him.
*You might swear, you'd never touch a lady/ Well, let me say, you're not too far from maybe/ Everyday you find new ways to hurt me*
One moment she hated him for what he had said about her, what he was putting her through. The next she wanted to hold him so badly it hurt!
*But I can't help it if I'm just a fool/ Always having my heart set on you/ 'Till the time you start changing the rules/ I'll keep chasing the sole of your shoes/ Ahhha ahha , Fool*
Outside of her tent, Alanna heard children playing, shrieking as they chased each other. Two women walked past, joking good-naturedly about their husbands quirks. Alanna sighed. What a luxury it would be to have a life devoid of Court Games. Not being watched, and worrying about offending princes. Not being gossiped about.
*God resigned, from hearing my old story/ Every night, I'm paying hell for glory/ I'm embarrassed but I'm much more sorry*
*Perhaps it was my fault* she thought, *I could have just gone with him, but no! My precious pride had to interfere*
*All this pain, begins to feel like pleasure/ With my tears, you'd make a sea a desert*
I should go back, apologize, make up with him. *No,* hissed a proud little part of her, *He'll just keep walking all over you. It'll never stop!*
*Salt my wounds and I'll keep saying thank you/ But I can't help it if I'm just a fool/ Always having my heart set on you/ 'Till the time you start changing the rules/ I'll keep chasing the soles of your shoes/ Ahhha ahha, fool*
Perhaps I should visit George. He'll know what to do. He always does.
*I cant help it, baby/ Ahhha, fool*
Yes, a visit to George!
*I can't help it baby/ Ahhha, Fool*
Just the thought of seeing him cheered her considerably.
*I can't help it baby - baby/ Ahha ahh ha*
Then I can deal with patching things up with Jon
*Fool, I'm a fool, I'm a fool/ Ah hahha*

*A/N*
This just came to me the other night when I was *trying* to write chapters for my other story(s) and I was listening to my wonderful Shakira CD (It's great, go and buy it 'Laundry Service') I was like, Hey, this would so work! Haha and so would a lot of her other songs. So I was sorta thinking that if people liked this I could write a Shakira song series, so please r/r this, and tell me if you like it. I just had to write it, I really am an Alanna girl at heart.
Oh yeah, I forgot my disclaimer....
*The lyrics belong to Shakira, and the plot and characters belong to Tamora Pierce. Man, oh, man, I'd kill to be either one of those women, bur alas, I'm just me.*
Oh, and if you don't get this story, here's a summary....
*A song-fic about Alanna's struggle within herself after her ill-fated fight with Jon in the desert in 'WWRLAM'. Set to Shakira's 'Fool'*
