If She Had Been Quicker-chapter 5
A/N I am sorry that I haven't updated for so long! I was grounded off of my computer. To make up for it I am going to spit out a chapter a day from now on. Thanks for reviewing to all who did! I luv all you reviewers out there. Reviews just make my day! Read and review some more!
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters. They all belong to the fabulous Tamora Pierce. All I own is the plot. So don't sue me!!
* George looked worried as well. "I think his Grace would be our smilin' friend" *
Alanna looked shocked. " What?? No! It couldn't be! Roger and I certainly aren't the best of friends, but he wouldn't deliberately try to kill me!" George still wasn't sure. " I dunno Alanna. Don't do anything to make our friend suspicious. I would hate to lose you." Alanna looked into his eyes and saw just how much he loved her, and it frightened her. She tried to think up a quick response. " You never had me in the first place!" she snapped.
George grinned. " Maybe. Maybe not." Alanna found his grin infuriating and wondered what would happen if she hit him. She managed to resist the urge after much self conflict. She glared at him. " I better be going. We don't want the Duke getting suspicious now do we?" It was more of a statement than a question. George grinned again. " Well then. I might as well escort you out." He said, still grinning. He mockingly offered her an arm, which she shoved away.
" Don't mock me." She snapped. Alanna was getting very frustrated with George. And Gary. Gary. She didn't even want to think about Gary. "George, I really have to go now. I'll be back in a couple of days, I promise." And with that, she smiled at him and left.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ George thought about Alanna. How strong and beautiful she was. He wondered if she loved him. He certainly loved her, and wasn't afraid to show it. He wondered why his brave lass seemed to be so afraid of his love. And with that thought George went off into his own little world.
Alanna walked back to the palace. She walked into her room and stared at Faithful who was sleeping on her bed. How do cats sleep like that? She wondered. She supposed that she would never know. Faithful stood up as Alanna shut the door. "There's to be a ball tonight." He yowled. " Are you going?" Alanna's face paled. I am in deep shit. I will be expected to go as the prince's squire, but if I don't show up as Lady Alanna, Gary will wonder. What will I do??
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gary sat on his bed thinking of Lady Alanna. She had seemed so different from other Ladies. She just had this.something, about her. He would go looking for her at the ball tonight. He knew she would go. She was a court Lady. She had to go. He smiled. Tonight was his chance.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alanna nervously pulled out her dress, but looked at her boy's clothes. Should she go as Jonathan's squire, like she was expected to do, or go as Lady Alanna?
HAHAHAHAA! Another cliffhanger! Don't you love me? Of course you do, or you wouldn't bother reviewing. Review with your suggestions. Should Alanna go as Squire Alan, or Lady Alanna??? Read and review my other stories too! Oh and by the way. someone asked me if I was a witch. To answer your question. I don't think I am. Peace, love, and Goddess Bless!!!
