Disclaimer: I own nothing. Wait, I do own the plot and Catherine and I guess that's something.

Author's note: Thank you to all that reviewed. I'm really touched by some of the lovely comments I've gotten. This chapter is dedicated to all my reviewers.

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

"Nothing, Catherine. Go back to sleep." she replied.

"Yes, my lady." the maid yawned, before dipping a curtesy and leaving the room.

Where am I? How did I know that maid's name? Since when have other people known that my name was Alanna and not Alan and that I'm a lady? I'll just have to figure it out. I'll practice hand-to-hand combat for a while. This has got to be a dream.

She went to strech and do the simplest of pattern dances, only to realise that her body wasn't toned to it, and that she didn't even remember how to do one. What was going on here?

Suddenly she heard a knock on the door, without thinking she yanked it open.

"oh, maybe I should come back later." mumbled a rather ruffled looking Jonathan. What could be bothering him? Just then it hit her. Oh Gods, I forgot to change out of my night gown!

"Sorry, give me just a minute." She shut the door in his face and proceded to look for something to wear. Dang it! The only thing available were dresses, so she grabbed one and pulled it on as quickly as possible. She checked in the mirror, straightened her dress a bit,and pulled the door open to discover an empty hallway.

Author's note: I know! I know! Don't kill me. I meant to make it longer. I really did, and it is the longest chapter so far, but it's still really short. Oh well, maybe next time, but i doubt it. Please review, it doesn't take much, just a line or two. I promise to update soon.
