Tamora Pierces Characters are not mine (man doing this every time is anoying)

Whew I'm glad that's over Susan thought as she stepped away from the throne. She had been the last of the girls and the ball was now starting. She looked for her friends in the crowd but she couldn't fine them the only recognizable person she saw was a tall man with black hair trying to slip away unnoticed. Let's see who in the books hated parties and had dark hair...Raoul! She was still thinking of how they would find a way to get home when someone tapped her on the shoulder and startled her. She turned to see Tomy, Kathleen and Devin standing behind her. Susan was glad that her friends had seen him.

"You looked lovely Sue." said Kathleen

"Thank you Kat but I don't think that I was any more beautiful than any of the other girls after all they all knew what they were doing."

"I don't now my Amish friend." Tomy said with a wild grin on his face.

"Tomy I am not Freakin Amish! How many times do I have to tell you that? Wait what do you mean?"

See for your self."

Susan turned around and saw a young man walking towards her. As he got closer Susan recognized him as Alan of Pirates Swope.

" Hello I was wondering if you would like to dance?"

"UH... sure I'd love to."

Smiling Alan led Susan on to the dance floor and danced with her. As they

danced she felt like she was floating on air. She had never been so graceful, or comfortable, she felt at home in the young knights arms. When the music ended Alan and Susan went off and talked together.

Tomy looked over at his friend he looked jealous as he watched Susan and Alan laugh and talk to each other. He had always been close friends with Susan, ever since ninth grade when they started school together(a/n this takes place the summer between 9th and 10th grades for Susan and Tomy, Kat and Devin had just graduated.) but he didn't know why he felt like killing Alan every time he (Alan) and Susan were together. He got up and walked over to were they were talking. When Sue looked up Tomy asked

"Would you like to dance with me?"

"Are you sure you want to Tomy? I've never seen you dance before."(That wasn't actually true she had seen him dance before with other girls.)

"Yes I'm sure. Do you want to dance or not I mean I can all ways ask Kathleen."

"O.k... I'll dance with you" she said to Tomy then turned to Alan and asked "Would you excuse me" Alan nodded and Susan and Tomy walked out on the dance floor.

Again Susan was different on the dance floor she was no longer the clumsy 15 year old who could sprain her ankle just walking(a/n don't laugh it could Happen...I did it before.) she was a elegant young woman with confidence who could be graceful. Kathleen looked at her friend Wow, I think Susan really likes...

"Kathleen, KATHLEEN"

"What?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to dance. After all we shouldn't just sit here all night."

"Alright Devin" what was I thinking... Aw man I thought dying my hair red would get rid of these pesky blonde moments...
