Author's note: Yay! I got my first review ever, and it was really nice. This chapter is dedicated to ElspethElf. Thank you. Please enjoy.

The next morning dawned bright and clear. Alanna yawned and rolled out of bed intent on getting in an hour of practice with Lightning before classes started. She quickly went to wash her face to help her wake up. She never had been a morning person. She glanced up into the mirror, and nearly fainted in shock. Her hair neatly cascaded down to the small of her back. She was also wearing a lacy night gown that she definately didn't remember as belonging to her.

Alanna slowly backed out of the privy and examined "her" room. It looked nothing like her quarters. She checked in her closet only to find dresses, rather than breaches and uniforms. Where was she?

"Lady Alanna, what are you doing out of bed so early?" asked a rather sleepy looking maid.

Author's note: Sorry, the chapters are so short, but I plan to make up for that by updating regularly, possibly even daily. I really apreciate reviews, so please just push that little blue button and leave a line or two. :D
