"hey you're getting better thom"raoul of goldenlake told his red headed friend. "Gah I hate this"thom replied back. They had just finished fencing practice. "well come one let's go down to see george" prince jon suggested "sure why not" thom said. Gary, raoul, jon, and thom headed off to the stables to get their horses. Once they got there they mounteed and began to ride to the city at casual pace. The group had just gotten to the city when thom halted. "why did you stop?" gary questioned. Thom didn't answer he just started to mutter "oh shit oh shit, hide yes go hide that's what I'll do". Thom moved his horse arund behind gary and raoul. "what are talking about thom?" jon asked. "over there"thom said back. His friends looked over to see who he was pointing at, Thom had pointed out a girl riding a sandy coloured horse wearing men's cloths and her hair tucked up in her hat. At that moment the girl looked over at them. The smile she was wearing turned to a glare when her eyes landed on thom. Thom seeing this just turned around and started galloping away. The girl's glare turned back into a smile as she start galloping after him, catching up to him quickly. "what do you suppose thom did?"raoul asked gary and jon. "who knows with him"jon answered. The girl had caught up with thom and was side by side with when she roughly shooved him from his saddle. She then got off her own horse and strted towards thom who was trying to run away when she grabbed onto his shirt. "It looks like thom needs some help" gary said, and them he raoul and jon started riding toward thom and the girl. As they grew closer they could here the girl shouting at thom. "Oh my God! You didn't even try to help me you didn't evenb write! You have no idea what I've been through these last months!" she yelled. She was about to punch thom when raoul grabbed her wrist. " calm down girl! Thom what is going on?!?" raoul said. "oh well…uh…"was all thom could say. The girl who was released by raoul removed her hat and looked up at thoms friends. They gasped this girl had the same red hair and purple eyes as thom. "I'm alanna, thom's twin" she told them. "uh yeah, lanna these are my friends, raoul of goldenlake, gary the younger of naxen, and prince jonathon of well here"thom finnally said. "oh, your majesty."alanna said as she bowed, which puzzeled thoms friends even more. "would someone care to explain everything."raoul said not bothering to hide his confustion. "yeah how about we explain once we get don to the dancing dove. With that Gary, raoul, alanna, jon, and thom headed to the pub.

"Hey is George here."jon asked. "not yet he should be here soon though he had some….buisness to take care of"the bar keeper answered. The group went and sat down at a table. "ok so explain"jon said. "ok well as I told you I'm thoms twin alanna, but anyway, thom should have been the girl and I should have been the boy because well thom wanted to become a great sorcerer and I wanted to become a knight, because, I loved to fish and hunt and ride and I'm really good at it, and thom well isn't, anyway our father was forcing thom to come here and me to the convent to become a lady. After much thought however, me and thom came up with a plan, thom would go to the convent where he could learn sorcery and I would cut my hair and what not and pretend to be a boy and come here." Alanna said. "but it would have worked except my brilliant plan to get our village healer to help us went wrong she woudn't here of it alanna becoming a knight and me a sorcerer. So she made sure alanna went to the convent and that I went to the palace." Thom finished off. "wow that's gotta suck"gary said. "ya which reminds me about my need to kill thom."alanna said standing up. "now calm down lanny, I'm sure the convent wasn't that bad."thom said backing away from her. "not that bad? Not that bad? You have no idea what I've been through, they made me where pink frilly dresses and ride side saddell. I finnally escaped two days ago after fifteen tries" alanna said turning very red. "woah thom wht's gotten you all hyped up"a new voice asked. "thom? I'm not thom"alanna replied. "I'm over here george" thom said getting up. "what, how , ok who the hell are you then?" george asked alanna. "me? I'm alanna, thom's twin"she replied. "oh…..ok can someone explain this to me"george said sitting down. Alanna and thom explained what happened again to george. "well to bad I guess don't what I'm going to do now, I'm definatly not going back to the convent, I can't exactly be a knight anymore." Alanna said glumly. "well not neccasarily"jon said in a quiet voice. Everyone turned and stared at him.
