Okay, let me just say that yes Chapter 3 was a cop out and I don't even know why I put it there. Maybe I'm crazy. Oh well here's chapter 4.
Not Really Supposed to Know
After the night at the club the next day they went shopping. It was a good thing that they had their nobles or they would have had to use Alanna's credit card-, which is something that she wouldn't do easily (meaning that she would never hand it over willingly). The three with the help of Stephan got things for the next three months. Shoes, clothes, underwear, bedroom accessories, every thing that they needed.
The arrangements on the rooms had George in a fuss, though. "But why not I sleep in your room with you?"
"Because, 1) we're not married, 2) we're stuck in our teenage bodies, and 3) Page works for Social Services so if you and I were to sleep in the same room in the same bed, she would be in trouble as we would be too."
"But they don't have to know."
"I don't care. I like to play it safe for now, and anyway, your room is just down the hall."
"I know but I've missed you so much."
"So have I, but I like to take my weekends as my alone time."
"Alright then, goodnight my fair Lioness."
"And goodnight to you too my love." After was a goodnight kiss and George was off to his room. Jon, who'd been watching the entire thing, was mixed with different emotions. Love, hate, jealously, sadness, among many other emotions filled him. Maybe I proposed to Thayet too soon and I still have feelings for Alanna. I've missed her so much that now that I know that she's safe I feel glad. But her with George now makes me want to wretch. I asked her to marry me and she denied me. Maybe now friends is all that we can be, but I don't know how long I'll be able to take it. Jon dozed off under his new covers in his new bed with that last thought. One day she'll see though.
Meanwhile, in Alanna's room, she couldn't but help think about her romance with George and how Jon is starting to look at her. It's like he sees right through me, but like he's trying to keep out. I could read his mind and see what's going on in it, but that'll be invasion of privacy. Then again, a small little probe wouldn't hurt. Slowly yet gently Alanna found her way to Jon's mind. Softly probing she was able to tell that he had a lot of emotions surfacing. Then going in deeply as she could without disturbing him. She saw more than what she wanted to know: Maybe I proposed to Thayet too soon and I still have feelings for Alanna. I've missed her so much that now that I know that she's safe I feel glad. But her with George now makes me want to wretch. I asked her to marry me and she denied me. Maybe now friends is all that we can be, but I don't know how long I'll be able to take it. Jon thought. One day she'll see though. That was enough for her. Now, she knew the reason to his odd behavior. Now she knew that he didn't like her being with George. Now she knew that he still has feelings for her and that he's now doubting his marriage to Thayet.
I shouldn't have done that, but I'm glad that I did. We're going to have to talk about it later, but not too soon. And with that she was asleep as well.
Two weeks had passed swiftly and Gary, George, and Jon were just about ready to be enrolled into Pavilion High School. Piper, Page, Phoebe, and Alanna all rustled around the house that day. Potions had to be made, the Book of Shadows needed to be scanned for any warnings, and the spell needed to be revised a tad.
"Now, all you need to do is relax. It won't hurt, all you need to do is to drink the potion after we do the spell." Alanna reassured them.
"But what if-"Gary started.
"No 'What Ifs' you'll be fine- trust me!"
The potion was done an hour later and they were ready with the spell.
"Knowledge of greater power,
Please bless these
Three gentlemen
That wish to become filled with the
Present day knowledge
That you alone hold."
Alanna gave them each a small little vial and the three drank it. Phoebe then closed the Book of Shadows and told them to rest for an hour so that the spell could take effect. They did what they were told and before they knew it they were at Pavilion.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Two months later…
Alanna still hadn't talked about what she did to Jon and the more that she put it off the more that she felt heart broken. It turned out that she would probe into his mind almost every night before they went to bed. She'd then discover that his feelings for her were growing and that it was beyond control.
The only person that knew about her late night probing spells was Sara. Sara would listen and would convince Alanna to talk to him about it, but the help that Sara gave her the more she freaked when she was about ready.
All of that was during the first month though. In the second month, Alanna would still probe into his mind, but the more that she did, the more that she fell for him. Last time she'd let herself be played a fool by his works and she didn't want to even consider him as a lover. But now that she was prying into his mind, violating his privacy, she knew that he was for sure about him loving her and that sort of troubled her- when does he ever think about Thayet like this?
A/N: OHHHHH a cliffy! Sry but its 10: 51 and I need to be in bed- night y'all!
