The next morning Kathleen, Devin, Aly and Thom put their plan into action...
Kathleen walked down the path to the stables were her and her friends horses were being kept looking for Susan. She found Susan calmly petting her horses muzzle. Susan looked up when she heard her older friend coming.
"Hey Kat what brings you down here?"
"Looking for you. I wanted to talk to you."
"Alright, what about?"
"Just stuff."
"I didn't do it... it was Tomy I swear!"
"Do what?.. What did you do?"
"Nothing."
"No I wanted to talk to you about... guys."
"Ohhhhhh, ok lets go up to my room or your room if you want that way we won't be over heard."
They walked up to Kathleens room and started to talk finally Kathleen shifted into the subject of Alan.
"So that Alan is nice isn't he?"
"Yeah."
"I mean he invited us to his home and he didn't even know us."
"yep."
"So do you like him"
"yes... WAIT WHAT DID YOU SAY?"
"You finally adimited it."
"You tricked me"
"Ok so just say it just admit that you are in love"
"No way."
"Grow-up would you just admit it. It is plain to see from the way you act around him."
"Alright I admit it...I like Alan. I've never felt this way about a person before."
She finally admitted it I hope that Alan feels the same about her. "Tell him tonight it is the fourth day of midwinter and that is when they give gifts. I can't think of a better gift to give the one you love than to tell them you love them."
They talked for the rest of the day the subject changed but Susan couldn't stop thinking about Alan.
Thom and Aly walked down to the practice courts to find their brother. They found him practicing his fencing with a soon-to-be knight.
"Alan give the kid a break we need to talk to you."
Alan and the boy stopped Alan sheathed his sword and walked over to his siblings.
"What do you want?"
"Is that any way to treat your loving siblings."
"Sorry. Hello my dear brother and sister. What do you want?"
"We wanted to talk to you."
"About..."
"A certain girl."
"Not this again."
"Come on I know you love her and I know she loves you."
"She does... says who?"
"Her friend Kathleen told us. And she knows her better than anyone."
"Well if she likes me... Ok I'll admit it I like her I've liked her for a while."
"No really" Aly said sarcastilly.
"So should I tell her?"
"No. You should just keep dancing with her and expect her to figure it out." This time Thom gave the sarcastic reply."
"Alright I'll stop asking stupid questions."
Its about time he hasn't stopped asking stupid questions since the day we were born.
"So when should I tell her."
"Tonight. It would be the perfect gift especially since she loves you to."
The whole day Alan practiced his skills as a knight with his former knight master Lord Raoul.
That night Alan went up and asked Susan to dance she said yes. As they danced they moved towards a balcony where they could talk. They stepped out on the balcony and stared at each other. Susan looked lovely in a light blue dress that brought out the color of her eyes, and Alan looked hansom in his gold tunic and brown hose.
"Susan I want to tell you something..."
"I want to tell you something to."
"You go first."
"Ok I know we just met but... I love you."
Alan stood there he was so shocked by what she said that he couldn't say anything. Come on Alan say something... come on, thought Devin as he spied on his friend, he didn't notice Tomy come up behind him. After a few minutes of silence Susan turned red and started to run away but Alan caught her, brought her close to him and kissed her.When Tomy saw them he ran off into the crowd.
Ok that's it. I hope you liked it yes I'm going to get to Tomy and how he feels I just haven't figured out what happens with him yet so please review. I want more than one review from more than one person before I update!
