Note: That last chapter was a little funnier than chapter 17, I hope! Anyway, yes I intended Kel to be Alanna's squire, even though I knew Neal was. Sorry, I'm trying to play Runescape as I type this. Hope you like it! By the way, I am babysitting a hyper 2 year old, so sorry if there's any mistakes. Oh and this is being written at like 2 am AND I have a nasty toothache. So please don't be horrible! And sorry, I know it took me ages to upload this, but the computer wouldn't let me upload. Mutter mutter. Anyway, r&r, you know by now!

Chapter 19

Alanna pulled the sheets over her head and groaned.

"Jon, it's Sunday!" she protested. He had woken up early and, because he couldn't sleep, had decided to make her suffer along with him. It was before dawn and the sky was still slightly dark; the sun was only just starting to rise. Alanna whacked him round the head with a pillow, trying to swat him away and leave her to sleep. Jon just smiled at her and dragged the covers away. Alanna groaned again and glared at him, causing him to laugh. He grabbed her hand and pulled her to her feet. Alanna mumbled sleepily. And I was having a nice dream as well… she thought, sighing. This was going to be a long day…

Jon twirled Alanna around and pulled her close to him again. Alanna rested her head against his shoulder; she was so tired she couldn't believe she could still stand up. She had forgotten all about the summer ball, and couldn't believe Jon had chosen that day to wake her up before dawn. Jon could see how tired she was, and when the song ended he swept her up into his arms and carried her back to their rooms. Alanna was so drowsy that he had to change her into her sleeping clothes, and lay her down. He slipped into bed beside her and hugged her.

"Alanna…" he began, but she was already asleep.

Ok, tiny again. But my tooth is really killing me, and it's getting really late. Nearly half 2 am and I have to be up at 10 am. Damn. Anyways, I just finished First Test in the POTS books. Neal's really nice isn't he? And Cleon's just weird lol. But I do like Neal. Even if he is a little bit overenthusiastic. Lol. Bye!
