Author's Notes: I was just going to leave it as it was, but then I got an idea for 1 or 2 more chapters. This one probably isn't as good as the first one, but oh well!

Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Alanna, Delia, Thom, Roger, Jon, or anyone else who may appear in this story.

Delia of Eldorne had finally convinced the Court ladies to join her in getting revenge on Alan – no, wait – Alianne – that's not right either…

Anyway, they were going to find that guy – GIRL! that had posed as a guy to get his shield. They all had their torches and pitchforks, of which they had to drag along beside them because they were very heavy. They stormed into the hallway and knocked on Alan's door. There was no answer.

"Alright, girls! Let's break the door down!" Delia yelled encouragingly.

"Yeah!"

"Break it down, alright!"

"Break down him!"

"And his cat too!"

And so they swung a torch at the door. Instead of breaking down, it lit on fire.

"Fire! Fire! Fire!" They all screamed, running around in circles. They picked up Delia and threw her at the fire to douse it.

"AHHHHHH! YOU IDIOTS!" Delia screeched. She jumped out and rolled on the floor. "GET IT OFF ME! GET IT OFF ME!" Surprisingly, the door had already been turned to ashes, and there was no fire on Delia at all. Just a lot of soot.

"The fire's gone, Lady Delia!" said a random Court lady. "You've saved us!"

"I did?" Delia saw the soot. "You're right! I did save you!" All the girls group hugged Delia, who looked quite pleased with herself.

"What in the name of Mithros is going on here?" All of them turned around to see Prince Jon. Oh crappy day! Delia thought.

"We – ahem – wanted to congratulate Sir Al – er – um – your former squire!" Delia lied deceitfully.

"Yeah!"

"Congratulate indeed!"

"We'll congratulate him with our pitchforks!"

"QUIET, YOU TOAD HEADS!" Delia barked, and they all shut up.

Prince Jon raised an eyebrow. "Pitchforks? And torches?"

"It's a – a – CARTHAKI TRADITION! Yes, that's it!" Delia exclaimed. Ha! Got him fooled!

"But you aren't Carthaki," Prince Jon pointed out. "And you're all covered in soot. And Alanna's door is burnt down." Jon crossed his arms. "I'm not stupid you know."

Damn! Outwitted again! Delia thought. But I won't let him win! "Yes you are!" she said sweetly. "We just wanted to bring a little culture to the palace. Could you tell us where Alanna is?"

"Alanna?" Raoul said, approaching them. "She's in the stables."

"Alright, girls!" Delia yelled, "Let's get her!"

"YEAH!" the Court ladies agreed. And they ran off to follow Raoul's lead.

When they arrived at the stables, there was no Alanna in sight. "Search the place!" Delia commanded, and they all jumped to do her bidding. Just look at them following my orders! Delia gushed, I'd make a good queen! She then flew off into fantasies of being queen and redecorating the noble's wing. It was so 300 H.E.!

"Get out of my stables!" yelled a rather pissed Stefan. "Out! Now!" The girls got frightened and fled the stables, still dragging their weapons.

Delia was quite frustrated by now and she was willing to take desperate measures for her cause. "Where the fuck is she?"

"Alanna?" Gary queried, popping his head out of a window. "She left for the desert already."

"WHAT!?" Delia boomed. "This is so not fair! I want re – *sniffle* - veeeeeennnnggeeeeeee!" Delia burst into tears. The Court ladies followed suit.

"What'll we do now?" they complained.

"I have an idea," Delia said dramatically. "Since Alan turned out to be a girl, and Roger's dead, we'll turn our affections to the next best thing-" The ladies looked up at her with awe. "-Alan's twin!"

"Hooray! Hooray!" they chorused, and they all piled inside to find their next victim.

Sometime later, Delia was stalking an exasperated Thom, as it was her new hobby. He, unlike Alanna, was completely aware of these actions.

"I swear, if I turn around and see one more lady following me, I'll blast you all to smithereens!" he yelled.

"Following?" Delia said, putting on her best clueless face, "What makes you think that?"

"Because you stalk me all the time, and if I had a copper noble for all the times my spare loincloths have been stolen, I'd buy Tortall!"

"You'd have 5630 copper nobles!" Delia said triumphantly, then she realized her mistake. "I mean, that's what I heard…"

Thom rolled his eyes. "What do I have to do to get rid of you all?!"

Delia got a plan just then. I know! I'll get him to bring back Roger from the dead, then I'll get Roger to turn Alanna into a boy! It's perfect! "Bring Roger back from the dead!"

"Do I look like an idiot to you?!" Thom scolded.

"Now that you mention it-"

"No! It's a rhetorical question!"

"Re-tor-e-cle?" Delia sounded out, confused.

"ARRGGHH! Never mind!" Thom stomped off. Damn! Delia thought, and she ran after him.

"Leave me ALONE!" Thom yelled.

"But you didn't grant me my wish!"

"FUCK OFF!"

"You have to! I order you to!" Delia stomped her foot for emphasis.

"No. I won't bring back Roger from the dead, or turn Alanna into a boy, or any other stupid idea you come up with."

"Saaayyyyy!" Delia exclaimed, "that's a good idea! I should get you to turn Alanna into a boy! That way, we won't need Roger!"

"We?" Thom asked.

"Me and the other ladies, of course!" Delia giggled. "Will you?"

"No." Thom attempted to get away again, but Delia dropped down and hugged his ankles.

"Don't leave me!" she wailed.

"Why shouldn't I?" Thom demanded.

"If you don't do this for me, all the Court ladies will follow you around for the rest of your life," Delia taunted, "and I could get the Queen to arrange a marriage-"

"NOOOOOOOO!" Thom yelled, trying desperately to run away, but Delia had him trapped.

"Ha! I got you now! There's no escape!" Delia cackled. Thom stopped struggling and gave up.

"Fine, already! I'll do it! Just leave me alone!" Thom told her. Delia nodded and let him go. "And that goes for all of you, too!"

"Awwwwww…" said the Court ladies as they came out of their hiding places.

Delia skipped along behind them. I got my wa-ay! I got my wa-ay! Hehehehe! she thought giddily.

I have an important author's note! I will not be updating for a long time because Lent is coming, and I vowed to give up the internet. So therefore, I cannot update. On the plus side, I did this so I could fully write out my stories, so I should have a bunch of chapters to put up once Lent is over at Easter. Sorry, guys!
