Jessie's delicate feet made their way silently toward the practice courts where she hoped the squires would be. And she hoped right, most of the squires and pages were out. Some of the boys saw here and quickly tried to do better but Jessie had her eye on a practice duel that many of the men were watching. She leaned on the fence and watched with them, ignoring all the glances she got.

Melody side stepped then lunged but Adrian was quicker and dogged the sword. He watched, waiting for the opening. His sword did a semicircle and then flashed in, Melody's sword came in at the same time and swords clashed and metal rang out. Most of the other squires had come to watch the two best fencers. Melody quickly saw her chance and before anyone could see, Her sword flashed. She did a quick turn and lunge in one move that Jessie had taught her. Then her sword tip was at Adrian's throat. Adrian smiled and lowered first his sword, Mel followed suit. She than took her water bottle and was about to drink it when a sweet, rich voice spoke, commanding everyone's attention. "That was lovely Melody. But I do remember telling you not to use my moves" Mel smirked, knowing the owner of a voice that was known to be poisoned candies. Sweet yet deadly. She turned, not expecting to be surprised but her eyes opened wide as she got a look at Jessie. Her once short dark brown almost black hair was flowing down her back in little waves. Her Blue-yellow eyes shone brightly with energy and beauty, Her skin was now a dark tan. She wore a casual dress but looked stunning with her appearance. "And I do believe telling you not to get any more beautiful and you promised not to" some of the on watches exchanged puzzled looks, mostly Mel's friends. "I lied" Said the stunning female. Mel smiled, and then ran and hugged the female. "Come here and let me introduce you to my friends. They said some new ladies were coming, I never though it would be you." "That's alright. You never think anyway." Mel grinned at the female who grinned back and then looked at a group of men of whom she had seen earlier when she had got off the carriage. "Ok. You guys this is my all time old Friend from back home. Lady Jessica of Silver Claw Cove these are my mental but cool friends Squire Michael of Sony, Markus of Athens, Adrian of Kleentin, Jason of Frisco and Christopher of Orlando." Jessie curtsied politely and the boys bowed back. "Now its nice to meet you all but first things first. Never call me Lady Jessica around me. I rather like Jessie or Jess or nothing at all. Otherwise you'll learn that I'm not like most ladies." She grinned then turned to Mel. "I haven't changed that much, I promise. But I am supposed to be presented to night at court so I have to go. I see ya all around later. Buh Bye" She turned on her heel and left the gaping squires and pages to close their mouths. "I like her" Said the Prince. Mel laughed, "Just be careful. When she talks her words usually have two meanings and her tongue cuts sharper then steel." Mel warned. Her friends still had smiles on their faces as they all went to get ready for lunch then the ball.
