Disclaimer: Of course one of these stories wouldn't be complete w/out its
lovely disclaimer. Anyway, the characters belong to Tamora Pierce, as does
the setting. I just came up with the dialogue. So don't sue and please r/r!
Enjoy….

As Alanna and her friends spun around to see who it was, their admirers began to laugh.
"George!" she exclaimed. "What are you doing here?"
"You're not the only one who has to have clothes made for this weddin'. I decided that I had better come down with my friends to get our final fitting done. "
Alanna looked around and saw not only Marek and Coram, but Jon, Myles, Gary, and Raoul as well. All seven of them were wearing the same outfit- black breeches with a lavender tunic that was the color of Alanna's eyes.
"You all look lovely. Now if you will excuse us, Thayet, Buri, and I have some things to do." Alanna walked hurriedly to the dressing room, embarrassed to be seen by so many people in her wedding dress before her wedding day. As she reached the changing section, she whispered to Thayet, "I hope that no one besides them saw us. I was kind of hoping that my dress would be a surprise to everyone."
" I'm sure it will be. Now stop fussing and get changed. We have a lot of work to do," replied the queen.
"Do we really? I was just making that up as an excuse to get out of there. What are you going to make me do?" the Lady Knight whined.
Thayet just gave an evil giggle as she went into her stall to change back into her everyday clothes.
The three changed quickly and made their way back to the front of the store. By that time, George and his friends had already left. Right as they were about to leave the shop, Buri pulled the ribbon out of Alanna's hair.
"You little brat," Alanna screamed, as she ran around the courtyard, chasing Buri, trying to get her blue hair ribbon back. "Give it back to me now, before I am forced to practice my fencing skills on you." Buri just kept running until she was out of the courtyard.
"Anyway," said Thayet sarcastically, " I think that is enough fun for one day. What do you say to starting on the seating arrangement?"
"Thayet," Alanna whined, "Don't make me do it. Please, I'll do anything. Just don't make me do the seating chart. You know that I am not good at that type of thing. I'll probably end up putting one of the Tusaine nobles next to Raoul or Gary. (A/n: couldn't think of a worse combination at the moment.) That would end up in disaster."
"Fine," sighed Thayet. "I guess that it can wait until tomorrow. It's almost five o'clock anyway. We'd never get it done tonight. I think that we should go back up to your rooms and talk. I haven't had that much time to gossip since I've been back from my honeymoon. So, what's been going on in the palace…."
