I'm so happy about the reviews, truth to be told; I hoped you all liked it. I really have lots of ideas on this story and I hope I can finally manage to finish a story. LOL. Response at the bottom! Enjoy!

Chapter3

Aly was hiding in the shadow of the hallway, watching the two doors that belonged to Thom and Alan; she was trying to guess who would be coming out first. She had hoped that Thom would.

Her guess was right, a moment later, Thom opened his door hard. At first, only water came out of the bucket. When he looked up, the garden snake fell on his head. Thom started to scream.

"Get it off me! Aghhhh!" Thom's scream attracted attention.

Two servants got the snake off his head, and took the bucket away with them. However, Aly could see them hiding a smile. Thom was storming around. "Who did this? I'll have the hide of the one who set me up! Agh, how stupid could I get!"

"Little Master, you'd better clean yourself up before you showed up for breakfast. Here, I'll help you." The maid cooed, and led him to the bathroom.

Aly turned in time to see Alan running out of his room. "What? What! What had happened? What did I miss? I'll save you, Thom if you will tell me why you were screaming your head off."

Thom ignored his outburst. Instead, he said. "Go back and recheck how you've thrown on your clothes. Your reflection will probably make a cow cry."

Alan looked down and mumbled, "Where did you learn that phrase? I'll first slice the person who made that sentence up."

Aly got a good look at him when he moved out of the shadow. His hair was a mess, tangled together and not yet combed, his shirt was backwards and his pants were falling off. His foot was bare and he had his practice sword in hand. Despite her need to be quiet, Aly giggled to herself.

Alan skidded to a stop; he was staring at his door when he was re-entering. His eyes were wide and his mouth formed an O. However, Alan did not reacted as Thom had; instead, he took the note off and tucked it into his shirt pocket. Then, he went into his room to re-decorate himself.

Aly was not pleased to see his reaction, but she knew that she had scared him badly because almost nothing could keep Alan quiet.

Satisfied that her ideas went well, she started to prepare for her next scare. With a fresh caught earthworm in hand, she walked into her brother, Thom's door. She hid it in a book that she knew Thom would read today.

Carefully, making sure that she was not seen, she made her way to the stable. Aly put tics in Alan's saddle and she knew he would be going out for the riding lesson. Aly could not wait for the fun to start.

So, what do you think? There are more plots&plans coming up. Hope you like this story and I'll keep on updating. Reviews please!

Thanks

Sorceress Shadow Rain

On top of cloud 9: Yes, you are right, when they were hit, they will broke so the coloring will come out. The note means that Aly will make him into a sandwich if he told anyone.

nativewildmage: Yah! Go girls go! Girls are the best!

Yazmari: I know I'm mean, or Aly is. Sorry to hear that. E-mail me once you've got your internet back. See ya!

Tessadragon: I'm sorry that I'm rushed a bit, I truly wanted this story to succeed, but without anyone telling me if they like it or not, how would I know? I can't imagine George being drunk neither but I thought he was in Dancing Dove right? And most people in there gamble, so…thanks for your review!

Aura Rayne: Oh, you will like the next couple of chapters…they are MEAN!

Zerrin of the Wind: I will, don't worry. Aly is my favorite too.

Lady.Of.The.Own: I'm going to make Aly very naughty, you will see. George, will I guess you are right, he is not those kinds of drunken types, but I wanted him to bet without backing down on it.

lady-of-tormentdeath: I'll explain that in the next chapter about how much the baron wagered.

SEXYBABE: I know, thank you.
