"I just said that because I don't love her anymore because I know she may cheat on me in the future!" Jon said.

"Oh." Alanna said much to her disappointment.

"Why what's wrong?" Jon said.

"Oh nothing really." Alanna said trying to sound sincere. Unfortunately it cracked.

"I know that's not what you mean. Come on! Tell me!! I'm your friend aren't I?" Jon said.

"No I won't and yes you are." Alanna said.

"Huh? I don't get you?" Jon said with an accompanying look of confusion.

With that, Alanna broke out laughing and even started rolling on the floor.

"See I can make you smile. I know what you mean. You won't tell me but I am your friend. Fine don't tell me. I'm going to cry now because of you." And Jon pretended to cry.

"Stop crying! Fine I'll tell you. Just stop crying. It's getting infuriating. Exasperating. Irritating. Annoying. Irksome. And other synonyms of those words. Ok. Here goes. It's just I thought that you really mumble, mumble, mumble." Alanna said.

"What? I can't understand you." Jon said looking up.

Big mistake! Alanna thought.

"Hey! You aren't really crying!!!" Alanna started to 'play' punch him.

"Ow, ow, ow! What kind of play punching is that? It hurts!" Jon said.

"My kind of play punching!" Alanna said grinning slyly.

"Come on tell me!" Jon said and started to tickle her mercilessly.

"Stop… tickling… me!!" Alanna said in between laughs.

"No I won't till you tell me what's bothering you!!!" Jon said. Still tickling her by the way.

And all of a sudden, Jon stopped. But, guess where he found himself. (He didn't know! How stupid can he get! Just kidding! ;D) Yup, you're right, on top of Alanna. But much to his and her surprise she didn't get up and brush him off her.

"Um…" Alanna started to say when out of the blue, surprisingly, all of a sudden, without warning, Jon got off of her. Can you believe it? He got off. Why couldn't he kiss her instead? I mean, he's got to have a reason right? Well I'll tell you what it is since I can read his mind as I'm the narrator!!! Bwahahahahaha!

"Stop saying what I'm supposed to think!" Jon said (To the narrator).

"Ok, ok, I will! On with the story!" (Narrator)

I think I should kiss her at a better time. As we should be getting back to the palace now. Jon thought.

But once again, he got surprised when…

He gave his hand to Alanna to pull her up from the floor, and he got pulled back on top of her by Alanna's wonderfully powerful arms!!

"Hey, what did you do that for?" Jon said starting to whine.

"You wanted to know why I was sad right?" Alanna said with a grin starting to spread across her face.

"Well, er, yes, I guess" Jon said barely above a whisper.

"Number one, I thought you really loved me but you didn't, number two, I'm going to do something that will make you regret you saying that and number three here it is!" Alanna said.

Just when Alanna finished saying that, Jon found her lips on top of his. And both were surprised to learn Jon was kissing back. It was a soft, gentle kiss.

"I never thought you liked me that way." Jon said. Barely audible over the pandemonium happening below.

And what was the pandemonium you asked? Well that will be revealed in the next chapter. For now, this is Insane Horse Lover reporting live from the scene on top of Balor's Needle!!

"Will you just stop it narrator? You're ruining everything!" Alanna screamed.

"Fine, fine, you won't even let me have some fun." The narrator said as he ducked Alanna's punch.

At that point, Alanna and Jon looked out over the edge of Balor's Needle. There they saw, Raoul running after Alex who was carrying the journal that everyone trips on with Raine right behind him (Raoul that is). Because of that scene, they burst out laughing and rolling on the floor laughing.

And then Raoul stopped since he heard a faint burst of laughter on the top of Balor's Needle and looked up and saw Jon and Alanna laughing and laughing. Then Alex bumped into Raoul which caused them to fall and Raine tripped over them (not because of the journal that everyone trips on. Darn. But because of those two stupids down there on the floor) and made everyone see her underwear, Raoul was just going to whoop coz of that but stopped when he saw the look of Raine's face and rushed to her aid.

"I think we better go down now." Alanna said giving him a fleeting kiss on the mouth.

"but don't you wanna continue what you were doing?" Jon asked with a hopeful smile.

"But I'm hungry" Alanna said and lifted his shirt and kissed his stomach.

So they went down to eat food. I don't really care. I'm hungry too. *narrator walks away and grumbles about author not giving him enough food*
