A/N I do not own any Tamora Pierce characters because obviously they belong to Tamora
Pierce.


Knock. Knock.

Alanna walked to the door and opened it. Behind the door was a small servant boy.

"Highness," the boy said. "You are needed in Prince Jonathan's study."

"Thank you," Alanna said. She closed the door as the boy left. She flattened her hair and
smoothed her dress.

She walked quickly down the hall, hoping that she was not going to be late.

When she opened the door, she found Jon standing by his desk. Near him was Raoul, Gary,
and Myles.

"What's going on?" Alanna asked.

"Gary has a plan to save George, darling," Jonathan said.

"It will take a lot or work to set it up, but we don't have much of a choice," Gary said.

"What is it?" Alanna asked as she walked over to Jon's desk.

Raoul pointed to a paper on the desk. It had writing and different sketches on it. Alanna read
it carefully.

"What do you think, Lady Alanna," Gary asked.

"I think it might work. What about Thom?" she said.

"He'll be here in one week," Myles said.

"Since it is our responsibility to see to it that this execution is carried out, we can easily set it
to be after Thom arrives," Jon said.

"Yes," Alanna said.


Prince Jonathan and Princess Alanna of Conte walked up to the dungeon two days later. They
informed the guard of who they were seeing and were lead to George's cell.

When they entered George's cell he looked up. "What are you two dojng here?" he,asked softly.
"I thought I told you not to come here."

"Gary came up with a plan," Jonathan said.

"So, you better listen good," Alanna said.


Alanna hitched up her skirts as she ran down the halls to greet Thom. She ran past flustered
serving maids who were shocked to see the Princess's petticoats. She ran out the door and into
the sunshine.

There stood Thom. Older now with a beard. Alanna ran up behind him and hugged him. He jumped.

"What the---Alanna?" Thom stared at her as she faced him. "What are you doing in a dress? I
thought you hated them."

"That be her Highness, Master Thom," one of the men who was unloading Thom's luggage said.

"What is that man talking about, Alanna?" Thom asked looking at her. "A Princess?"

"Well, Thom, I am a princess," Alanna said.

"What? How?" Thom said, obviously confused.

"Hello, Lord Thom," Jon appeared. He stood next to Alanna and put his arm around her waist.

"Thom, Jonathan and I got married," Alanna said, blushing.

"You did? Alanna, you of all people!" Thom said, shocked. "And a prince, too."

"We need your help, Thom," Alanna saidas they walked up to the palace.

"What?" Thom said.

"Come in and we'll explain," Jon said as he opened the door to his study.



" Why would you help him, Alanna?" Thom asked after Jon had left to give Thom and Alanna
time to catch up. Jon and Alanna had just explained what they were going to do tosave George.

"What?" Alanna said, angry. "He's my friend!"

"But he also kidnapped you and gave you to Tusaine to be killed!" Thom said, his face turning red.

"But, he is my friend. Please help us," Alanna said, near tears.

"Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you," Thom said.
