Okay, I'm trying to postpone the outcome of the story as much as possible, because I've only gotten about three ideas as to what the story should end up being Okay, I'm trying to postpone the outcome of the story as much as possible, because I've only gotten about three ideas as to what the story should end up being. So guys, I really need your help! Gary or George? I can try to do it either way, and I promise I won't change the outcome of the whole thing if Gary ends up with Alanna. I really liked Gary, and then he turned boring, so maybe we can change all that if Alanna got with him. On the other hand, I love George! So, see, I really, really, really need your help! So read and review and tell me! Here you go: Enjoy! Oh, really quickly, thanks Madeline, I did up it to PG-13.

More than anything right now, Alanna wanted to go up with Gary to his chambers. But she realized that there was no way for her get back to her chambers in the morning without being noticed. So after bidding Gary goodnight, and parting with a few kisses, Alanna went up to her room.

She found Faithful sitting on her bed, preening. She crossed her arms. "Well, what do you have to say for yourself?"

Faithful chose to answer her question with one of his own. "Did it work?"

Alanna blushed. "You're lucky it did, you prissy cat, otherwise, you would be dead and buried by now."

"Maybe. But tell me, if it weren't for me, you would never have told him."

Alanna glared at Faithful. "I'm not going to respond," she stated calmly, and started to undress.

"You just did."

Just then there was a knock on the door. Alanna had already gotten the top of her dress undone, so she called out, "Who is it?"

"Gary," was the muffled answer.

Alanna hastily pulled on the sleeves of her dress. She opened her door. "Yes?"

"Well, I was wondering," Gary began. "Does Jon know?"

"He was the one who told me to tell you I was a girl."

"Oh."

"Well, why'd you want to know?" Alanna asked. Gary was wringing his hands together, and in all her years at the palace, Alanna had never seen him so nervous.

"Er, well I was thinking, I could go there, that is, well…" he trailed of.

"Gary, what are you trying to day?!" Alanna was becoming very exasperated.

He cleared his throat. "Could I stay in your room tonight?"

Alanna was shocked, but recovered. She now knew what Gary was trying to say. "And in the morning you can go to Jon's room, and come out of there!"

Gary grinned. He looked at Alanna and blushed.

"What is it now?" she asked. Seeing Gary blush made her feel really giddy.

"You've, er, come undone." Gary was grinning widely.

Alanna looked down. "Oh, for Mithros's sake," she said, and started fumbling with the lace.

"Alanna?"

She looked up. Gary was very close to her. "Yes?" she asked, leaning forward, until their lips were a fraction apart.

Gary kissed her, passionately. Alanna removed her hands from the lace of her gown and held Gary. As she did so, her hands' spot on her gown were taken by Gary's hands. Alanna opened her mouth to protest, but was quickly silenced by Gary. He started to remover the lace that she put on. He slid her dress off her and picked her up and put her on her bed. He got in with her, and Faithful decided to exit the room.

Well, there we go, the promised tactful sex scene! I'm sorry this chapter was short, but like I said, I can only write so much without knowing the outcome! Oh, by the way, Lady Serna, feel free to write one with Raoul, like I , I'd read it!

Tata all,
