YA SEE! *Looks accusingly at all of the people reading this fic* Reviews
really DO make me update! I mean, if it hadn't been for Danric-Lover's
review of my Camping Trip story, and the P.S.S. in her story, I would have
never gotten to be writhing this! I would have been perfectly content to
let it slowly drift down the page, getting more and more out of date... Ok,
no, I wouldn't. Plus, I wouldn't do that to you awesome peeps. So, here it
is, the next installment in "To Catch a Lover!" *Oh, and in case you don't
get the title, it's alluding to that saying "To Catch a Thief, you must
Think like a Thief." Just making sure you knew...*
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Yes... I recognize it... But I think that if he does not want you to know who he is, it is not my place to tell you."
Nee and Mel were sitting in Nee's drawing room eating their traditional breakfast; but today, Mel had voiced a new problem: She wanted Nee to identify the handwrighting on some mysterious, unsigned letters she had been receiving. However, Nee felt some reluctance to give Mel this piece of information... "What am I to do??" Nee thought. "I knew that Vidanric liked her, but THIS MUCH? Plus, I cant tell her. Of all things I would like to tell Mel, this is the most important, except he obviously doesn't want her finding out... But I see no especial harm at least setting her on her way..." It was all Nee could do to keep herself from blurting the truth aloud, so she responded:
"Ask me this, Mel: Why do you want to know his identity so badly? Do you like him THAT much?"
"Oh, I don't know, really. I mean, its romantic; the idea of courtship through letters, but I don't think that I can keep this up much longer! Who knows who I could be talking to! Imagine if it was, say, Flauvic, or Khan, or... *AN: Khan is just some random name I made up. It seemed good at the time. Oh, and he is a hypothetical character that will just be generally beat up bunches, and is rather disliked by the main characters.* Or anyone! So you see my problem. Please, Nee! Just this one thing. I swear, I will never ask you for anything else forever! Nee got a look on her face that Mel now recognized as being her "Thinking" expression. It was also not a good idea to disturb her in such a frame of mind. After sitting there silent and motionless for several moments, Nee's face suddenly brightened, and she poured herself more tea.
"What do you say to this, Mel," she said. "You know that this person is at court, and that he is present at many of your social affairs. So, force him to appear at one of those! I sudgest that you hold a party. Invite everyone in court, except send the Unknown a different letter. Make his invitation for more than an hour ahead. Then, when he shows up, it will be ages before it starts, and he will be the only one! Plus, if, when you find out who he is, you are... Lets say... if you find the change unpleasant, you can just pretend that you wrote the invitation incorrectly! What do you say to that??"
Mel responded instantly. "That's a wonderful idea! I cant wait!" The two went on to the pleasant business of arranging a court party, chattering away, oblivious to what was happening in a familiar alcove in the library...
AN: *evil cackle* MWA HA HA HA HA! How do you like THAT?? Mwa ha ha ha ha!!!! I promise that I wont take as long to update this time, either. Cross my heart!
