Due to the personal request jae shall no longer b in this story (good riddance) *smaks jenny*. This chapter is mainly to say goodbye*clamps hand over Jenny's mouth*




Heather walked around the ballroom. Her dancing partner had left to go to the bathroom, and she wanted to fine her sister. There she was, dancing with-Heather's mouth dropped. She had actually done it. She was dancing with the Prince.

87^87^87^87^

Jenny was getting bored, she had been dancing with Jonathon all night. No one was cutting in, and she knew why. She didn't need her Sight to tell her that. She looked around, maybe some Knight was looking her way.

Her eyes rested upon Heather. That's where she was! "Uh-Prince, can I go and talk to my sister?"

"You have a sister?"

"Yes, two of them, and they're twins. Now can I go and talk with them? I'm sure your feet must hurt as bad as mine," she batted her eyelashes.

"Okay. I probably should pay my parents a visit," he gave in.

"Yes, it would be rude to ignore them during their own ball," and she walked to her sister.

"Jenny. Mithros, you did it. I can't believe you did it," Heather was shocked still.

"You doubted me?" Jenny asked pretending like she was shocked.

"Yes, and you know it. Now on to more important subjects," Heather started jumping up and down, " I got a knight, I got a knight!"

"You did? Who!?"

"Sir Gareth of Naxen, the Younger."

"The Younger?"

"Well his father has the same name, and he's the Kings Champion."

Jenny nodded, "How noble."

"Shut up."

"Do I ever?"

"Someday I'll pay you back for that saying."

"Someday, but not now."

Heather stuck her tongue out at Jenny.

"Hey, that's my line!"

"Line?"

"Action, whatever."

"I think you need to learn the meanings of your words again."

" I don't."

"You sure?"

"Positive-the opposite of negative. But I'm not using it in that context."

"Very good. Do another trick. "She patted Jenny's head like she was a puppy dog.

"No,and stop that."

"Ladies are we having a cat fight?" a man walked up to Heather, and put his arms around her waist.

"Why does everyone think I'm having a cat fight?!" Jenny cried completely fed up with that saying.

Gary chuckled, "Sorry I was delayed. I had to talk to Jon. He was telling me about the woman he met today. He says she reminds him a little of Alan, and that maybe they should hook up."

Jenny's eyes widened, " I don't think so!."

Heather turned to Jenny, "You don't think so?"

"Yeah, I don't think, but then again you don't think."

Gary was enjoying this cat fight, but he needed to continue this conversation," Do you do this all the time?" He didn't wait for an answer," Anyways, this girl apparently got into a cat fight with another black mage called Jaelocken or something."

"Jaelawyn," Jenny muttered.

"Oh, you know her?" Gary asked.

"I'm the girl who got into a fight with her."

Heather looked at Jenny," You got into a fight with Jae!?"

"Yes, and I'm not talking to her. We're not talking anymore,"Jenny said with all the stubbornness she possessed.

"Whoa, you're cat fight girl?"Gary asked.

"Yeah, I'm cat fight girl."

"Gary, can we go dance now?" Heather asked.

"No, I wanna hear more about this," he said.

"Gary we only have a little bit of time to dance, can we do it now?"

"I guess," and he let Heather pull him onto the floor.

Jenny watched them leave. I am not going to hook up with Alan. He's a she! she said to herself and went to find Jon.

Jenny walked over to Jon, " Ready to dance?"

"Of course, is that your sister you were talking to?" he asked

"Yeah, one of them," she answered pulling him onto the floor.

"Hmm, I didn't know she preferred desk knights."

"You don't know anything about her-wait desk knight?"

"Yeah, Gary doesn't really do much in the field."

Jenny covered her hand to stop laughing.

"What? Oh is she more of an action person?"

"Yeah, like Alanna-oops. Wait-o yeah you know about her," Jenny stopped herself.

"Yeah, I do, and obviously you do too," he looked down and smiled at her.

"Mhmm."

"I need to talk to Heather."

"Again?"

"Well, I can wait, but I'm eager to see the look on her face when she finds out about Gary."

"Oh well then you can go."

"No, I'll stay right here. Thank you."

"Okay, then stay."

"I will."

"So how old are you?"

Crup, she thought, what do I tell him? She looked up. It's not like they would ever be serious so it wouldn't hurt if she lied...."17."

"Okay, that's what I thought. You don' t mind dating someone older than you do you?" he asked.

"No, of course not."

Heather was dancing with Gary having the funnest time(AN, yes i know funnest is not a word or is that funner? O well). They were talking about everything, and he was very interested to hear about her life in Shang.

"Wow, so you were one of the best in your class?" he asked.

"Yes, it was awful that my sisters weren't as good as me," she added.

"I bet, did that put pressure on them?"

"I don't know, they never mentioned it," she shrugged.

"Well I bet it did. Since Jon was such an outstanding page and the Crown Prince I felt I had to live up to that too. It really stunk. Maybe that explains why Jenny didn't like it or why Hayley didn't try as hard."

"Oh Hayley tried hard. We both did. Jenny didn't really."

"Oh, so how did you come up with the Shang White Tiger?"

"I don't know. It just, like, came to me. I was thinking of names, and the name popped up in my head, and I liked it. It worked. It was beautiful and powerful, like me."

Jenny and Jon swiveled by." I'm not sure about the beautiful part," she joked.

"Oh, but you know about the powerful part, and you'll know better tonight. Watch yourself," Heather cried back.

Gary laughed, " Well, I think you're beautiful, even though you are in breeches."

Heather grinned. She liked her choice of clothes. Breeches and a tunic. That was why she had avoided Jenny, and Hayley. They would have made her wear a dress. Tomorrow, she would avoid them too.

Jon laughed as Jenny blushed from what Heather had said, "Your sister is definitely powerful though, like she said. Her name fits."

"Yeah," Jenny sighed. Her feet were starting to hurt. "Can we like sit down or something?"

"Okay, I guess. Are your feet hurting?"

She nodded, and he led her off to one of the couches in there. She sighed as she relaxed in the comfy chairs.

"So, the two love birds finally decide to stop after all," Gaia commented from a couch nearby.

"Now, they're not love birds," Raoul stated, saying what the two "love birds" were about to say.

Jenny just stuck her tongue out.

Gaia laughed, "A typical Jenny reply."

"And how would you know?" Jenny asked.

"I just do."

There was a rustle behind the curtains near them.

"Now, who could that be?" Jon asked pretending to actually not know. He walked over the curtains, and pulled them aside, "Now, Alan you know you can't hide from every court function we have."

"But I can try," the copperhead retorted.

"You can try, but you won't succeed. Not with your favorite knight master about," he said mockingly.

"Unfortunately, you're my only master. I wish I could trade you in."

"Oh no you don't." He dragged her over and plopped her next to Jenny.

"Hey, you found Alan," Gary joked as he and Heather came over.

"Shove it," Alanna said.

"Now, now, be nice after all I was your sponser."

"When we were pages!"

"So."

"Oh, don't you just love the sound of a fight during a ball," Gaia said dreamily.

"No, why would you?" Jenny asked thoroughly shocked that Gaia would think that.

"She was being sarcastic, smart one," Heather informed her o-so-blonde-sister.

"Oh."

"So why did you get off of the dance floor?" Raoul asked.

"Because everyone else was," Gary told him like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

" Hey why don't we go up to my chambers and talk, you know one big happy family?" Jon suggested.

"One. Big. Happy. Family?" Raoul asked, "Jon, are you feeling okay?"

"I do not know where those words came from. Oh no. I've been hanging around my aunt too much. She says things like that," Jon put his hand to his mouth.

Gary laughed, " Aunt Loi does say things like that, but to hear those words come out of your mouth-well that's priceless."

Jon ignored this remark, "So do we want to go?"

Everyone agreed. They were too tired and too afraid to go against something a Prince said, so they followed him.
