Disclaimer: All characters belong to the magnificent authoress, Diana Wynne Jones. I just borrowed them for a while.

Claimer: I do own Wyn though. *Dances around happily* Please don't use her without my permission though or I'll have to come after you with a sickle. Wah! Hah! Hah! Just kidding.

A/N:

To ness: Yep, I picked Bronwyn. I really liked the way it sounded. By the way, I hoped that someone liked the way she was so much like her dad=) I'm also glad you like Wyn's personality. Actually, I kinda based some aspects of her personality on Howl, Sophie, and well.even me. I hate being sick, especially since I refuse to take any medicine (except for 'tums' that is). I'm really pitiful sometimes. Hehe. By the way, what do think is making Wyn ill? (This chapter won't really have anything to do with her sickness.)

^____^

To eklektik: I posted the 'real' chapter 4, just in case you haven't read it yet.

To Calcifersgrl: Thanks. I'm on an updating roll.. Anyway, thanks for pointing out the 'Kaylas' I left in chapter three. I'll fix them. Please update 'There and Back Again' soon.

Chapter 5: In Which Morgan Goes Out On a Date and Wyn Interferes With It

A loud booming sneeze came from upstairs as Morgan sat setting up a spell for his father. He flinched and sighed. 'She's sick again.What the heck is going on? Wait a minute I just sounded like Neil! Oh boy, I should really stay away from Wales for a while, It's turning me into Neil!' Morgan thought with slight disgust. Neil was an adult and all but he could really be selfish and horribly stubborn at times.

'Note to self,' Morgan thought, 'Think up a new way to get Neil to let me watch his T.V. Come to think of it, maybe I could make my own T.V. and just watch it in the Waste or something.That wouldn't be cheating, would it?'

Morgan brooding over these thoughts for a while longer before he noticed the sun was setting. "Oh shot! I'm gonna be late!"

He raced up stairs to get a nicer suit, which was a rich chocolate color with creamy swirl like embroidery. As he went out of his room feeling nervous and a bit edgy his sister remarked leaning against her doorframe, "Awwwww.Our little Morgan is growing up."

"Oh shut up. I'll throw you all the way to Zanzib if you mess my date with Kamania up!!" replied Morgan threateningly.

"Oh ya right, even in my present state I could kick your butt to Tsapfan if I wanted to, so don't think you'll all high and mighty just because I'm sick," retorted Wyn.

Morgan had to admit even ill she looked formable wearing her long pale lavender nightgown and sporting an irritated pale face. They hadn't dueled in a while so he supposed he could possibly have gotten even better than her now though.

"Whatever," replied Morgan carelessly, unfortunately for him he didn't notice the mischievous smirk on Wyn's face as he walked down the stairs.

'Even if Morgan's peeved at me for a while it'll still be worth it when I'm done,' thought Wyn.

************************************************************************

Wyn felt a bit queasy as she sneaked through the shadows of the streets of Market Chipping, but altogether she felt pretty great.

'This is going to be fun,' she thought as she spotted Morgan and his date, Kamania, up ahead of her in the crowd of lovebirds.

************************************************************************

As Morgan and Kamania, sat down at a table at a quaint little restaurant, Morgan had the strange wizardly sense someone was following them.

'.She wouldn't have followed us, would she? No she couldn't of, she's much too sick to do anything today. In fact that's why I planned today as our date,' thought Morgan.

Regrettably for Morgan, he was wrong.

************************************************************************

As Wyn watched the two love-struck eighteen year olds she smirked. An idea had come to her and now she was ready to mess up her brother's date a little bit.

She had just enough energy at the moment to transform her ragged old black dress into a, in her opinion, ugly black waitress outfit and her hair to a curly platinum blonde.

She went over to them, knowing that it wouldn't take Morgan long to recognize her, but that he wouldn't say anything so as to make a good impression on his girlfriend.

"State your orders."

Morgan's head sot up and he almost fell out of his chair. It was a good disguise but nonetheless he knew his sister when he saw her in any form. Trying to keep a strait face, he ordered something, as did Kamania.

Wyn left them and thought, 'Now should I get their order and spill it on my brother or should I just let them wait for nothing to come. Hmmm. I've got it! I think I'll leave them for now and interrupt the end of the date. I'm sure Morgan will try something and I'll be there to interrupt him.'

She chuckled softly and began to walk home.

************************************************************************

Morgan and Kamania ended their date in front of the moving castle. As they leaned in to kiss a amused voice said, "Now, now. Its only the first date, lovebirds."

They both whipped around and blushed to see a thirteen year old leaning causally in the doorway looking like she'd caught them doing something more than just kissing.

"I'd better go, then," said Kamania hastily as she hurried away.

Morgan didn't say anything till the door of the moving castle was totally closed. "WYN, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!!!" he roared.

"Now, what did I do?" asked Wyn innocently.

Morgan didn't answer verbally at first, but for quite a while after that, Calcifer watched with mild interest as Morgan charged after his fleeing sister yelling curses at her back.

A/N: Hehe, I've been waiting for this chapter for a while. I don't think it turned out quite how I wanted it though, but oh well.

A/N 2: Please review. Any review would be greatly appreciated.
