"Jon, have you gone mental?!" the Kings Champion, Alanna the Lioness asked the King of Tortall.

"No" the king answered, a little annoyed, "I think that this table will be a very good addition to my castle." He was referring to the very big round table that had just been delivered. "Look!" Jon exclaimed, "All of my most trusted knights can sit around it!!!!"

Alanna looked at the king of Tortall as if he had gone postal. "Are you nuts!?" she yelled, "you cannot spend your time as king spending the royal treasury on a giant round table that you got out of a catalogue!!"

"Why not?" Jon asked her simply.

"BECAUSE YOUR KING!!!!!!!!!" Alanna screamed, now out of control herself. "This is really the last straw Jon! You just sit around the thrown room all day and do nothing! All of your subjects are starving and very angry with you!! I would not be surprised if there were more plots against you these days!!!"

"shut up Alanna! I can fire you if I wanted to. Actually that's a really good idea. Alanna, your fired. Now go away!"

Alanna was very very very angry. She stormed out of the thrown room, seething with anger. "I'll get him if it's the last thing I do!"

Meanwhile~

King Jonathan IV went back to admiring his new circular table. He had seen it in a catalogue and simply had to have it. It was very large, at least 20 feet in diameter. He had been spending a lot of time looking through catalogues to find a table for his meeting room. He really liked this one. It was his favorite that he'd seen yet and he had bought it with the royal treasury, as Alanna had accused him of.

'Alanna's dumb' Jon thought. All she cares about is the realm, and making all the subjects happy. That's dumb.' He thought, ' I don't care about the realm, I care about how the table here matches my wardrobe, and the curtains, and the carpets. I cannot have the carpets not match the table.' Jon went off mumbling to himself about clothes and carpets.

(A/N: as you can tell, Jon is not acting like is usual self. I don't care. This is how he acts in my little fantasy world of Tortall. End A/N)

Alanna made a few choice visits that day. She was extremely angry at her soon-to-be-ex-king. For the last few months Jon had been slowly downsizing the staff of the palace to pay for his many stupid things that he had been purchasing from catalogues that some stranger had given him. She had said she was from some place called America and she had brought with her all these things she called magazines and catalogues. Jon had been buying ever since. However this round table thing was the one he had been searching for. He had said he always wanted a table that was round. 'What ludicrous,' Alanna thought. (This was way before round tables became popular. Most people hadn't even considered the idea of a table that was round.)

Alanna went to her last stop of the day here in Corus, to the Dancing Dove, to meet Arthur, the current King of Thieves that George had introduced her to.

A/N: can anyone tell so far where this is going?! R&R PLEAZZ!!!! I really don't care if anyone likes it or not.. I was just bored and my little cousin gave me an idea!!
