A/N Sorry I only submitted one chapter last time. I think I'm gonna start putting in a new chapter every time I'm here at my dad's (which is every second weekend.) Well, hope ya enjoy this chapter! PS: Did anyone get any clues about the scene with TGMOG and Faithful in the last chapter? I hope no one guessed the whole story line from it (I doubt it but hey, apart from 'never give up' [inspired by tamora Pierce], 'always expet the unexpected' is my main moto. PPS: I've been getting quite a few reviews about the time differences and stuff and I'm really sorry...when I get an idea for a story I just write it all down and I never think of anything logical like the years diffence. Sorry but I hope you can read it and not think of anything like that and just pretent it's all set out like I've written. Thanx

Alanna lay awake for some time that night...weather she even got any sleep, she did not know.

The next morning, Alanna realised she didn't tel Gorge about the invite from Jonathan "Gorge, yesterday, Jon asked me if you and I would like to come to dinner tonight. I told him we would be there. Is that ok with you?"

Gorge had nothing against Jon, in fact he was one of his best friends, but the fact that he was in a way the cause of this whole problem, he wasn't sure if he wanted to risk making it worse. Not wanting to explain this to Alanna, afraid he would cause an arguement (A/N Would YOU like to argue with Alanna?) he just decided to agree.

"Yeah it's fine by me. Will the children be coming along too?" he had to ask because if Thom came with them it would just make matters even worse.

Alanna, obviously thinking of this had already planned that situation. "No, I've asked Raoul to take care of them. He's been asking to take care of them for a while...he says it's just something to do but I reckon there's something going on between him and Buri."

Gorge was relieved to hear this. Maybe he could actually have one night of not having to think of all this...these events happening in his complicated life. He didn't know just how wrong he was...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* A/N So sorry about the short chapter. I'll write another one tomorrow (I'm kinda a little too tired to be writing...I'm afraid I might fall asleep at the keyboard. Well I kinda got writer's block...like I mean I know roughly what's happening in the next chapter but could anyone help me out here? I need ideas! lol. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanx
