Annoyances

Alanna walked down to the stables. Her horse, Blue Berry, was waiting there ready to be groomed.

Getting a brush, she walked over to him.

"Hey boy," she muttered. "How are you?"

The horse whickered noisily in reply.

"That's good. Did you have a good sleep…?"

"Oh talking to the horse again Alanna? I mean honestly, shouldn't you have got a guy to talk to yet? Horses are all well and good, but I wouldn't think they would be as good in…"

"Oh Shut up Delia!" Alanna told her. "In case you haven't noticed, Blue Berry is my friend, and only you would think of something as disgusting as that!"

"Oh, that's right Alanna! Not even a horse would touch you!"

Alanna sighed, was this Delia's attempt of a joke, because it was pretty lame. If she had ever talked about ladies being air-headed bimbos, Delia would get the crown. Beautiful as she may be, her intelligence is left much to be desired.

"Get a life Delia," Alanna sighed.

"Oh Alanna I'm so insulted. But shouldn't you get one first?"

Alanna raised her eyebrows. This was so pathetic; it could bring tears to your eyes.

"Goddess…" Alanna muttered while finishing brushing Fire Night.

"Oh I know I you think the world of me, but I'm not a Goddess."

Alanna stared at her with a horrified look on her face. If there were more people like Delia around, then may the gods have mercy on our souls, she though to herself.

Delia laughed.

She's even laughing at her own jokes… how pathetic is that?

"If you excuse me Delia, I have to be off." You prissy pig, she added silently.

"Not taking your horse with you then?"

Putting the brush away, Alanna walked out of the stable shaking her head in disgrace.

That was the most PATHETIC attempt to be mean, Alanna had ever seen. (A/N: sorry about Delia's lame scene of humour, it nearly bored me to tears as well.)

Walking back to the courtyard, Alanna though of what she could do next. What to do what to do what to…

"Alanna!" A voice called. "Hello Alanna!"

Alanna turned around. Who was… oh no… Lucinda! The happy-go-lucky Lucinda that was more annoying than Delia!

"Oh there you are Alanna! I've been looking all over for you!" Lucinda said happily.

Alanna smiled half-heartedly as Lucinda went on about all these special dresses and a guy who she likes before saying "Guess what!"

"Huh?" (Alanna was nearly asleep)

"I said guess what silly!" Lucinda giggled childishly.

"Oh umm… I don't know… what?" Alanna replied.

"There is going to be a ball in two nights time! And the priestesses said all of us have to go! (A/N: Alanna's eyes are wide open by now) Isn't that wonderful?!"

Oh mother Goddess…

"I'm going to where this pretty dress with pink lace and…" Lucinda said and kept on talking about what she was going to wear, but Alanna wasn't listening.

A ball? Was it just her, or was today a pretty bad day?

-----------------------------------

Okay, okay… a VERY bad chapter, I know… but there you go… Alanna has to met a few more people, and that is why there is a ball… or maybe there's another reason… but mostly it is to met one guy…

(PS) Thanks to everyone who has reviewed… It's really nice to here what you guys think… and with this chapter if you review...I really couldn't care less if you write LAME… because it is sooo bad!
