and coming and coming….Tests, projects, tests, projects, and even more
tests. I cannot wait until this school year is over….. Anyway, back to the
story:

* *= thoughts,
Alanna and Thayet were walking around the Palace gardens, going over the gossip that Thayet had missed while she was on her honey moon with Jon.
"So then the maid walked in," said Alanna.
"No way!" said Thayet.
"I'm serious. I swear that I'm telling the truth."
"I can't believe that really happened. I would have been so freaked out. Just imagine walking into a room and seeing two of the same person. I think that these new simucralms are much too realistic, and I don't like them at all," exclaimed the queen.
" I totally agree with you."
Just then the bells began to toll, sounding the time of seven in the evening. Alanna, for the second time that day, was caught unawares by the bells. She turned to Thayet, to tell her that she had to leave, but found that she had already started to run in the opposite direction. *Seems like I'm not the only one who forgot the time. I wonder what she's late for.*
Chuckling, Alanna began to walk back to her suite of rooms. She had planned to meet George at 7:30, and needed to get ready. She didn't know what they were going to do, but any time they could get together was wonderful for her. George was busy all the time getting Pirate's Swoop ready for her. He was also doing his job for the King: cautiously spying on potential problem areas. She was doing her job protecting the King and his kingdom. And that was besides the mounds of paperwork that she had to sign for Jon. They had very little time to spend with each other, so she was grateful when their busy schedules allowed for them to be together.
By this time Alanna had made it back to her rooms. She sighed as she opened the door, wondering what she was going to wear that night. Suddenly a shower of rose petals descended on her from above the door way. Red, white, and pink petals floated gently down to the floor, some falling onto her hair, others into her outstretched palm.
Alanna looked around the room to see if her fiancé had left her any other surprises. A flash of white caught her eye. A single white rose lay on her dressing table. "Just another reminder of my love." The note was in George's sprawling hand. The surprised Lady Knight picked the rose up to smell its lovely fragrance. As she picked it up, the petals dropped off one by one. Alanna scrambled around the room, trying to pick up the delicate petals. She stopped when she saw a small white box in the center of the blossom. Hesitantly opening it, Alanna gasped when she saw what it contained. Nestled in the tiny velvet box was a pair of pearl earrings. Not black pearls like the ones Myles had given her before she came back to court, but a deep, creamy ivory color. "How gorgeous!" she whispered.
She hurriedly dressed in a dress that she knew to be one of George's favorites. Running a brush through her hair, she brought it up into a tight bun. She brushed on a tiny amount of make up and made her way out the door. As she rushed down the stairs to meet her fiancé, she tried to tug on her slippers. Finally ready, she pushed open the door and tried to walk elegantly out into the courtyard. Unfortunately, she didn't see a small rock in her way and tripped over it. A pair of strong arms quickly caught her and kept her from hitting the ground.
"Haven't had to do that in a while."
A/N: I know, somewhat of a short chapter… Romance, you gotta love it! (J/K)
Anyway,I've had writer's block for the past three weeks, and I think that it is still there…. Oh well… I hope you enjoyed this segment, and I will try to post more as soon as I think of something new to write about!
