Ok first one for YOU and Tamora's character: Pranksterqueen
Raoul sighed; he'd have to escort another lady to a ball. This time it was Lisa-Marie of Thanet. Raoul wasn't even sure where Thanet was! (A/n: I had to make Thanet up because you didn't give me your fief.) The five o'clock bell rung. Time to find her, he thought. Raoul walked to the carriage yard.
" Lisa-Marie of Galla." The coachman announced. So Thanet was in Galla, Raoul thought.
" Milady, I am to be your escort tonight. I am Raoul of Goldenlake and Melorie's Peak." He said offering her his arm.
" Thanks Raoul." Now the knight was surprised; Lisa-Marie was wearing a simple dress, not a fancy, frilly one. The dress was a light green, matching her eyes. Her reddish blond hair was a mass of ringlets down to her shoulders. Her nose, proudly arched, was dusted with freckles. The Lord of Goldenlake wondered if her lips were naturally blood red.
" Come, Lady, let's go." She took his arm.
" Please, call me Lisa-Marie." Raoul liked her voice it wasn't soft, but it wasn't a loud, annoying voice either; it was just right.
" Alright, Lisa-Marie." He led her to where they were to sit. " So," he said when they sat down, " Do you have any pets? And what activities do you like to do? Sewing?"
She laughed, " Goddess, no! I hate sewing, I haven't even learned to sew, now that I think of it." She added thoughtfully. Her partner laughed. Good, she thought. I don't want another boring dinner. Lisa-Marie noticed how the shirt he was wearing was tight at the shoulders and you could see his muscles. Goddess, she was falling for him. And she hadn't even known him for less than a half an hour.
" So then, what do you do?"
" I like physical activities. I love arching and hand-to-hand combat. Maybe tomorrow we could go to the practice courts?" She asked hopefully.
" I don't think I have anything with the Own tomorrow, yes I think I'm free. I'd be delighted to go." Gods, she's pretty. " As for my other question, do you have any pets?"
" Yes, I have my horse, Sunrise, she's a buckskin and I have my wolf, Lightning."
" Do you have Wild Magic?" Raoul knew you couldn't get wolves to cooperate unless you could talk to him.
" Well, I know I don't have it with other animals, I don' t know. He always just seems to understand me, and I'm just able to well, 'understand' him. That doesn't make sense does it?"
" Actually it does. Daine, the Wild mage, before she knew that she had Wild Magic, she just talked and listened to animals and she and they understood. You know what? I'm going to take you to Numair tomorrow. He'll test you. Of course, if that's OK with you.
" Really?" It never occurred to her that the reason she could listen to Lightning was because she had Wild Magic. (Pranksterqueen, I just added this, so do you think its ok?)
" Sure, why not?" When Alanna walked by to go to her seat; and Raoul turned around to say, 'hi', Alanna gave him a knowing wink. Raoul glared at her, scowled and threw up his hands.
" Spiders are going to find their way into your bed, Alanna," He muttered, after she was gone.
" Alanna, as in the Lioness?"
" Yes, and she's going to be screaming tonight." He replied. (A/n: Poor Alanna)
" Why? And, how do you know her?'
" She, Jonathan, Gary, Alex, and I knew each other since her first year. We're friends, and we won't be if she talks about what she did. And don't ask why, she's in big trouble for that." He smiled, plotting his revenge. Lisa-Marie couldn't help it she, laughed.
" So, what are you going to do? I swear, I won't tell."
" Oh believe me, she'd kill me if she found out I told you this. Anyways," Raoul went on, lowering his voice, " she's scared of spiders, so, I'm putting spiders in her bed. Only Mithros knows how I'm going to get them in there without George or Alanna knowing."
" She's scared of spiders?" Lisa-Marie asked amazed.
" Yes." He grimaced. "Come on let's stop whispering, she's suspecting something." Raoul said. Glancing at Alanna who sent him a suspecting glare. " Eeek," he said mockingly, " I think she' s catching onto something." To Raoul and Lisa-Marie's delight, the night went wonderfully. They had fun and learned a lot about each other. One of the many things that they learned was that Raoul was a year older that her. Raoul was twenty-eight and Lisa-Marie was twenty-seven.
" Well, I'll walk you back to your room."
Raoul's dinner partner yawned, " Yes, thanks. I'm getting tired." Her crush offered her his arm and gladly she accepted. Their walk wasn't silent, infact it was quite the opposite. When they reached her room, Raoul leaned the few inches difference between them and kissed her softly.
" Well, good-bye," Raoul said, cheeks burning and he walked off. Lisa- Marie pressed her fingers to her lips. (A/n: Yay! No, it's not done. I'm nice I write a lot for these.) He headed to Alanna's room, he caught several spiders on the way. Quickly, he stuffed them in her bed and hurried out. Unluckily, he met Alanna on the way to his room.
" Well, well, well. It looks like someone enjoyed this party." She said slyly. Raoul's friend snickered when he turned tomato red. " Did you spill tomato sauce on your face Raoul?" she asked innocently.
" No I didn't. And, yes, I made a new friend." Alanna snorted when he said 'friend.'
" Oh come now Raoul, I'm a girl. Do you think I missed the way you looked at her?" Again, Raoul blushed.
" Goodnight, Alanna." He said and left. He'd rather have her call him coward later than be embarrassed like that again. When he reached his room, he heard a shriek and then a " Raoul, you bastard!" and then a string of curses. Since his room was only down the hall from Alanna's, he sprinted the rest of the way to his room.
Next Morning
Raoul left to find Lisa-Marie to take her to Numair's room. When, he reached her door he knocked. " One minute!" came the reply. She opened the door. " Hi." She said blushing. Raoul couldn't help but notice that her green tunic and white shirt flattered her figure.
" Look, I'm sorry about last night. It won't happen again. It was totally unacceptable." He told her, red.
" Look at me Raoul." She said. He lifted his face and met her gaze. " I rather enjoyed it and, well, I wouldn't mind having it happen again." Raoul kissed her. Lisa-Marie's arms went up to his black hair and his went around her waist. When they finally broke the kiss, she asked, " So what happens now? What should we do? I mean if you want to tell them I don't mind but." And he kissed her again. From behind a corner, Alanna snickered softly, so he wouldn't hear. She didn't want to think about what he'd do if he caught her. Now she had her revenge, and it was perfect.
The End
Celestial Secrets: Are you Raoul's daughter? Raoul's fief is Goldenlake. Other than that you're next if you get back to me in time before someone else does. But, I promise I'll do you when you reply, even if I'm in the middle of someone else's because you were second.
