Ok so... first we would like to thank SOPROL for reviewing. You guys who are reading and not reviewing are lucky I felt bad keeping them waiting and now heres Chapter four.

Chapter Four

Half an hour later in Gareth's office

"Uncle I have to talk to you about Gaby."

"Ok ok I should have stopped her when she said she was going to fall but really have you ever tried to stop her when she really wants to do something?"

"No…well, yes you should, but I know you can't tell that girl to do anything, unless your name is Alanna, Lianne, or Coram, so I won't hold that against you…where was I going with this?"

"I have no idea" Gareth said

"Cousin, is there a reason you had to bring me here to talk about your step-daughter? I was busy"

"Cythera won't move while you're in here, Gary"

"You don't know that"

"Yes I do"

"Boys!"

The two "boys" stopped talking, and looked at Gareth

"Jonathan, was there a point to you coming in here?"

"Oh, right! My point! Uncle, what is the current record for a page getting punishment duty?"

"Why did you need me? Cythera is waiting"

"Your wife can wait!" Jon said "I need you because I believe you are the current record holder. So, Uncle, what is the record?"

"uh….Gareth?"

"um…I think it is a week into training" Gary said "No, wait, there was that one time with Ralon"

"Which time with Ralon? You, Jon, Raoul, and Alex spent most of your time in my office because of Ralon"

"The time right after Thom came to the palace."

"That was five days after training started I know I got in trouble before then"

"Oh right…what was that for?" Gareth asked

"I don't remember, but I remember that just about every page got punishment duty for it, because they were laughing about it. It had something to do with Naxen"

"Eureka! I got it… it was the time when on the way back from Naxen I spooked dads horse on purpose and we almost didn't find him."

"Oh right that was six days before training right?"

"Yep."

"Then Gaby just beat the record."

"What!" Gary said "She took my record! That record was how I made my name as a page! She can't take my record!"

"Gary you're a grown knight… who has won many battles why do you care about some stupid record?"

"Oh… right. Can I go back to my wife now… we were kinda busy."

"Yes go."

"SEE YA!" Gary ran out of the room, and then came back in "I am not to be disturbed for any reason"

"What if the palace catches fire, and it is either interrupt you and Cythera, or you both die?"

"Tell everyone at my funeral I died a happy man" Gary said, before running out again

"So uncle … Gaby has two weeks of punishment duty. And if you hear her complain let me know and she's out of training."

"You know Jon I usually get to decide who gets punishment duty."

"Uncle this is a royally ordered punishment duty."

"Alright then. I'll get started on finding work for her"

"That's all I ask…. Oh and if anyone picks on Gaby at all I want to know immediately! If not sooner."

"Jon…"

"What? Oh and if anyone tries to touch her I'll make sure they get found guilty of treason"

"Jonathan!"

"What!"

"I'm going to treat Gaby like any other page and I'll make sure that nobody does anything serious to Gaby but Jon I'm not going to worry about harmless flirting and stuff like that. She is not a baby if you want to treat someone like that go to Susan and Sarah."

"Uncle I …. How dare you speak to the King of Tortall like that."

"Jonathan don't make me tell your mother on you."

"Fine… But if my baby girl comes to me crying then I'm going to send Tony after them."

"Jon… think about what you just said do you know your daughter?"

"Yes"

"Then you know she would never cry, she would get even. You also know that she would never come to you, she'd go to Alanna. Also, Tony wouldn't do anything, because by the time he found out, we'd already be looking for the body. Now if you are finished wasting my time I have work to do."

Jon didn't say anything. Instead, he walked through the palace and stopped in front of a door, which he knocked on loudly.

"Numair! I know you're in there! I need to talk to you, it is a matter of royal security!"

"Wait…and I'm not spying on their highnesses…again. I barely lived through it the first time!"

"Gaby's gift only gave you third degree burns…Baird was able to heal you, and you were only in the infirmary for two months"

"Oh, yes, only third degree burns and only two months!"

"Numair-"

"Jon, the answer is no!"

"What if I told you I don't want you to spy on Gaby"

"I'd call you a liar"

"No, I really don't want you to spy on her" Jon said

"Right..."

"On my honor as a man and king, I do not want to spy on Gaby…I only want you to put a spell on her-"

"No!"

"Wait, let me finish"

"No! No! No!"

"I only-"

"Jonathan! What part of no do you not comprehend? I have a dictionary you can use"

"Fine… I save your life from Orzone… at the cost of diplomatic relations and let you stay at the palace and you can't do this one little thing"

"I think the third degree burns made us even…if not putting you in my debt.

"Jonathan? Numair? What are you two talking about?" Lianne said "The entire palace can hear you yelling"

"Nothing mother" Jonathan said "I was only asking Numair, whose life I saved to put a spell on Gaby so that if any boy tries something with her, they get scorched. I mean, is that too much to ask from the man who would be dead if it wasn't for me?"

"Jonathan, Gaby did give him third degree burns, and place him in the infirmary for two months" Lianne said

"My point exactly, your majesty" Numair said "Now, if you will excuse me, I have heard about some strange occurrences on the Gallan Border. I am going to check it out!"

"Wait… didn't we decide that I would send some knights to check that out?"

"No you agreed… now it is magical so unless you want to send Alanna out to check it out I'm going." With that he grabbed his bag and went to the stables… I'll get George to put spies on her instead."

"Jonathan Jason of Conte don't you dare or your grounded."

"Mom you can't ground me I'm the king."

"And I'm still your mother. Now no spying or putting spells on Gaby do I make my self clear?"

"Yes Ma'am."

"Good now go do something important."

Two weeks into training Numair returned bringing someone with him.

"Numy!"

"Highness how many times must I ask you not to call me Numy?"

"And how many times have I told you that the name's Gaby or Gabriella not highness?"

"NUmy! Numy!" Susan said then turned to Gaby "Cookie please."

"You trained her to do that."

"Yes and watch this Gaby who did it?"

"Tony."

"Who else?"

"Daddy."

"Who else"

"Sarah!"

"And who absolutely didn't do it?"

"Gaby!"

"Good girl here are two cookies!"

"Cookies" Susan said grabbing the cookies and running off.

"I love having a little sister! So who's that is she staying. How old is she?"

"This is Veralidaine Sarrasri, I don't know if she's staying and she's about your age."

Just then Jon walked around the corner. "Daddy can we keep Numair's friend please?"

"Three things… one She isn't a puppy, two where did your sister get the cookies and three don't you have a class to get to."

"I know, how should I know and yes. See you later Veralidaine!"

"Please call me Diane your highness."

"Then it's Gaby." Gaby called over her shoulder as she ran to history and law class.

Ok so you know the drill this is where we beg you to review and this time we're not updating until we have at least two reviews we mean it this time in fact if you can't think of what to write in a review tell us how much you want to know about Gaby and Anthony's training cause we're kinda stuck there and any suggestions would be appreciated.
