Chapter 2
Corus/Palace

The next morning Alanna awoke and put on a simple, but elegant light blue dress and matching slippers. I hate wearing dresses. (she thought) BUT, I don't want to look bad for Thom. I'll just have to suffer through it. She did want to look to fancy but nice. Kat came in a few moments later and they went to say good-bye to everyone, for the last time. Just as they were leaving the other girls presented Alanna and Kat with a small gift each. Alannas an elegant necklace that matched her emerald green dress perfectly ( this was her BEST dress) and Kat was given a pair of light purple ear dobs which matched her best dress perfectly as well. The two girls climbed into the carriage and with one last look said good-bye to the place they had called "home" for 6 years.
The entire way to Corus all Alanna and Kat did was talk. Finally, they had arrived. Alanna looked nervously around at everything.
" This place is gigantic!!! And beautiful," she breathed as Kat nodded in agreement. A servant then came and took the girls to their rooms. After they settled in a bit the two decided to have a look around.

(Same time different part of the palace)

Thom of Trebond was busy reading when his knight master Prince Jonathan of Conte heir to the Totallen thrown came in and sat down decide him.
"Well," Jon said? "WELL? WHAT?" Thom replied sarcastically.
"Are you going to sit there and read all day or come see the new lady arrival's with me. Jonathan asked.
"Great Merciful Mother," Thom said as he jumped up and began brushing is hair. "I completely forgot about that, my dear twin sister is arriving today. How could I forget? I haven't seen the girl for 6 years."
"Oh that's right, your sister is coming with this group, isnt she. Well, then we shouldn't waste much time then should we. Jon said slyly.
"I would be careful if I were you Jon. Alannas not like most ladies. Shes well different. Thom told him.
"How do u mean different, Jon answered back
"Oh, you'll see soon enough," Thom said and then strowed out the door.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I have a great idea," Alanna said suggested. "Lets go and see the practice courts?"
"Excellent" Kat replied. When the girls arrived at the courts the first thing Alanna saw was a redheaded young man over by the archery field. She and Kat hurried over just in time to see Thom bearly miss the bulls eye.
"I could do better with my eyes closed," Alanna shouted. Thom and four other knights spun around to see who had spoken. As he turned around Thom had a we grin on his face.
"Only MY dear sister would call out in such an unlady like fashion," Thom said.
"For you information DEAR brother I'm more "ladylike then you think, but we wont get into that right now, just come and give me a hug." she told him.
Thom turned to his friends and said "I told you shed be here!"

"Oh Thom you remember Kat don't you?" Alanna asked him as she turned to her friend next to her.
"How could I forget her, (he said, with a smile), she used to dunk my head in the pond and think it was amazingly amusing."
"Oh that, well you deserved it, Kat said with a slight blush. At the same moment a tall and young man with Brown hair and brown eyes came over and said "WELL, Tom are you going to be a gentlemen and introduce us to your charming and might I add lovely friends."
"Of course, were are my manners," he replied. "Lady Alanna of Trebond and Lady Katherine of Meadow Ridge may I introduce to you Sir Roaul of Goldenlake, sir Gareth of Naxen, the Younger ( "Gary," said the man who hard come forward before) , and Prince Jonathan of Conte." Alanna and KAt both went done into graceful Curtsies to the heir to the thrown. "Well, (Thom thought to himself) my sister has indeed become a lady!!"
