Chapter Four!
(This is the morning after the ball)
Alanna decided to put her fighting public today, I mean, she thought, since I'm already in trouble I might as well get in more. She had to do a month's worth of embroidery and she was terrible at it! Besides, she would love to see the look on snobby princes face when he saw her kickin butt!
She struck, blocked, parried, and dodged all morning. First, she fought Thom, for warm-up. Next was Raoul, then Gary, then a bunch of Knights and squires she didn't know, all were determined to beat this "silly girl". All of them lost. She didn't fight Snobby prince, but she saw him and she could have laughed. He was pouting and pushing money into Raoul's hand. Apparently, Raoul was one of the few who had bet on her winning. She didn't get to fight Alex, he was running an errand for Duke Roger. Roger. She hadn't talked to him, but she had seen him from across the dance floor the night before. Just seeing him had sent chills up her back. She wished she could fight Alex, he was one of the best fencers at court. She sighed. Alanna had just finished the archery contest. Now she was done and could get a bath.
She was walking toward her room when...
"Alanna!" Thom called, "that was great!" She turned to see Thom, Gary, and Raoul walking toward her.
"Thanks," Alanna said, "what do you want?"
"Grouchy," Raoul smirked, "we want to take you out to celebrate, of course." She sighed and followed them out. Then she saw snobby prince.
"Don't tell me he's coming," Alanna moaned.
"Well he is," said Thom, "and you two better behave ." He nodded to Alanna and Jon.
"I will if he does," Alanna said.
"And I will if she does," Jon said.
"Fine," they both snapped.
"Good," Gary said, "let's go." So they, of course, went to the Dancing Dove, to celebrate with awesome George.
"Congratulations Alanna," George said as he greeted them.
"Thanks George!" Alanna said. Of course George already knows, Alanna thought, he knows everything. So they sat, drank, and talked. It was a jolly old time! Well not really. Alanna and Johnny started fighting as soon as they sat down.
"Ok," Johnny said, "so I accept that you are an exception to the rule about most ladies." Thom smacked his own forehead. Stupid Jon, Thom thought.
"Excuse me?" Alanna said in a testy voice.
"Don't say it," George warned, "you don't want to test her patience." Of course snobby Johnny was just as snobby as snobby Jon and ignored George's words of wisdom.
"Well ya know, about how all ladies must be fragile, polite silly and unable to fight," Johnny said airily. Alanna glared dangerously.
"After all that," she snapped, "After I beat squires and knights all morning you still think ladies are soft and silly?"
"Like I said you're an exception," Johnny said losing his own patience. What is with this girl?
"I'll have you know that some women are intelligent, but they are so desperate to please men that they don't speak up. Not to mention that most men are so degrading that women degrade themselves," Alanna practically yelled. A women in the back round named Erin said just at that moment, " I feel so degraded," her husband had just called her 50 kinds of stupid.
"See what I mean," Alanna motioned with her hands at the women.
"You probably planned that," yelled Johnny.
"I can't plan you being a snobby prince," Alanna yelled back.
"Well I can see there's no talking to you," Johnny snapped.
"Then do us a favor and keep your mouth shut," Alanna snapped back.
"Ok, so who likes lemonade?" Thom asked, trying to change the subject.
"Thom, I'm sorry. I know you all tried, but I will never get along with snobby prince, see ya George," Alanna said and stalked off.
"Why'd you have to go and say that Jon-ny," Thom yelled at his knight master.
"What do you mean," Johnny asked, shocked.
"He means, you told her that you think women are silly, and weak, and you said it even after George warned you," said Raoul.
"And I'm sorry, but that was completely uncalled for," Thom shouted, "she proved women can think and fight, but you always have to be right about everything."
"Alanna had every right to get mad," George said, furious at the way Johnny was treating Alanna, "you should apologize."
"I am not going to apologize to her!" Johnny said.
"Why not?" snapped Thom.
"Because I was right," Johnny said and left.
"Why is he so stubborn?" asked Raoul.
"Probably because she isn't falling for him like every other girl does," said Gary.
"But I thought he had already figured that out, I mean it's pretty obvious that she doesn't like him," said Thom.
"Yeah, but it's like he refuses to think any girl would dislike him," said Raoul.
"The lad's insane to think he can get any woman, I mean they only like him because he's a handsome prince, but right now he fits Alanna's description of snobby prince just fine," said George. The others nodded in agreement.
"One of us should go find her," said Raoul. Everyone was silent, no one wanted to face Alanna's temper.
"I'll go," said Thom, "maybe she won't kill me because I'm her only brother."
"Good luck," everyone chorused.
"Thanks I'll need it," said Thom and left.
"Well I guess I'll go talk to Jon," Gary said grimly.
"I don't know if you or Thom are worse off, so I feel bad for both of you, have fun," said Raoul. So Gary left.
