"My lord?" Alanna said uncertainly. "What are you talking about?
My name is Alan." She
shifted uncomfortably.
"Alanna." He sighed. "Please stop playing this game."
"But my lor-" She began.
"Alanna, I have found the truth out. Please allow me to explain. By some will of the gods, last night when I was doing my search around the castle, my gift saw you. That was when for some reason your gift wasn't working and I saw who you REALLY were." He lay back into his chair and relaxed. "However if you feel that you must continue your disguise around me then I will not push you. Do not worry. I will not tell anyone else. Dismissed." Alanna bowed and walked out of the room. She wanted to run but that would be suspicious. After she was out into the hall she ran down the hall and into Jon's room.
"Jonathan!" She said shaking him up.
"Hmm?" He asked sleepily.
"Roger KNOWS!!" She said sharply and he sat upright with a yell and tumbled out of bed.
"You're serious?!" He demanded.
"Sadly, yes." She mumbled and looked away.
"Not good, not good, not GOOD!!!" He screamed. "This is VERY bad."
"You think I don't know?!" She screamed back.
"Well if you knew, why did you tell him?!"
"You MORON! I didn't mean too!" Alanna said in fury now wishing she hadn't told him.
"Look...this isn't getting us anywhere."
"You're right. Sorry." She replied sheepishly.
"So, now what?"
"Well.he called me 'his true love' what do you think that means?" She said cringing.
"True love? Oh boy..." He sighed. "I suppose you can only wait it out."
"But what do I do? I still have to go to tonight's party!"
"I'd say you didn't. But everyone will be expecting you. After all, every boy was looking your way. If you didn't show up everyone would be somewhat disappointed." He sighed. "It's official. We are trapped."

"NO WAY!" George yelled gaining looks from the crew in the bar. It was unusual for the King of Thieves to lose his cool. "What do'y mean you LET IT SLIP??!?!?!?"
"Calm down! Or do you want everyone ELSE finding out," Alanna whispered hurriedly. "It was an accident. And unless you want to give me advice I'll be running along. I have to go and prepare for that party tonight anyway."
"Lass, this is SERIOUS! If you go to that room, then Roger will be on you like a cat on mouse!" He said urgently.
"I don't have a choice!"
"Make a choice! Stupid! Stupid, stupid, stupid.." he repeated banging his head on his hand.
"George! Stop beating yourself and give me some advice."
"Okay, um.. tell you what. No matter how, and this will kill your feet, but don't dance with my grace. Just dance with your friends. Make it look like you accept that crowd. Or dance on'y with Jonathan. That will keep off other menfolk and that includes Roger." He sighed. "That's the best I can do fur ya lass."
"Thanks George!" She shouted and ran out.
~~~~~
"Goddess, you have a weird idea of fun." She said as she was the same as last night but this time wore a dress of black and silver. She sighed and walked down the hall to find Jonathan. They'd discussed the plan earlier. He agreed, and as he said, he was waiting before the doors. Without word he took her arm and led her in. As they walked to their friends Alanna remembered to play dumb and forget their names as they introduced themselves. Pretended to gasp when they told her of their triumphs. As the music began Jon put an arm around her waist possessively. As they danced Alanna wondered if Jon was really acting. When the end of a slow song was near the world paused for them. They just stopped and stared and then..... he lowered his mouth and planted a soft kiss on her lips. 'Oh dear' she thought as he held her waist to him. When he stopped she looked at him in shock.
"You just-" she began. Jon blushed and apologized as he took her out onto the deck.
"Sorry, I just-. I don't know." He said still blushing.
"Jon." She trailed off. He looked back at her and smiled then cupped his hand around her chin and pressed his lips to her once more. And with that final form of a happy couple on the balcony kissing and stars in the background it concluded the night.
