Disclaimer: I don't own any of this...at least, not the rights...whatever! I'm too lazy to write it all :)
P.S.
Dom's Angel- Holy Frick, My first/second review! YAY! Thanks for the compliments, I can feel my head swelling.
Pink Squshy Llama- Holy Crap, (similar to the first), I love your name! Hee hee! Anyway, thanks for the review, I REALLY appreciate it!
Jon looked at the wall clock. He paced nervously around the room.
"I was stupid, why did I ask her?" He asked His friends.
"You didn't ask her?" Gary gave his cousin a look.
"Who?"
"Alanna!" Douglass supplied.
"Oh…" Jon sat down.
"Jon, please tell me you didn't ask someone else."
"No, I asked Alanna!"
Flashback
Alanna was reading by the window, the light shone down to illuminate the waves of hair.
"Alanna, may I sit?"
"Of course!" she shifted slightly.
"I know that we're friends and everything…"
"Of course Jon!" Alanna didn't like the sound of where this was going.
"So I just wanted to know if you wanted to go to the ball…as friends if you want!"
Alanna hugged him, "I'd be happy to go to the ball with you." She smiled and then ran off, saying something about dress fittings.
END (FLASHBACK)
"So what's wrong?"
"I said as friends…"
"Jon it doesn't matter. As long as you can make it clear that you want to be more than friends…"
"I suppose…" He sighed.
Thayet had gathered the ladies.
"Alanna where do you keep all of your dresses?"
"In the chest, the one near my bed." Alanna called.
Cythera opened it up to reveal several dresses.
"These are pretty, how come you never wear them?"
"Dresses are impractical when I train…"
"I'm going to borrow some of these."
"Feel free too."
"Ooh, I think I've found the dress!" Cythera cooed.
Thayet firmly shook her head, "Gold is for old ladies Cythera, Alanna needs a youthful colour. Something young and bright…light coloured."
"What colour are you wearing Thayet?"
"Something striking, daring if you may…"
Alanna smiled, "How long has Thom been courting you?"
"Almost a year now…"
"Then, may I say that my brother is often impatient and very curious. I'm sure he will ask some important questions soon…"
Thayet laughed, "Please, don't be discreet Alanna."
"Well that's why you're dressing up right?" Buri asked directly.
"I would be happy if Thom asked me, I mean I know the royal family would have preferred me to marry the prince…" Thayet looked at Alanna who shrugged, "but there are many reasons why I couldn't do that. The queen understands, although the king doesn't."
"That's good, however you should mention this in front of Thom…" Alanna sat thinking.
"Why, the last thing that I want to do is tell Thom…he'll get horribly jealous…"
"…And will start seriously considering your relationship." Cythera smiled completing her thought.
"Now that you mention it, I may be able to slip it in…" Thayet grinned.
"Back to you Lady Knight, what on Earth can I do with your hair…"
Jon combed his hair furiously.
"Jon you're brushing at invisible knots…" Raoul mentioned.
"I'm not…I'm just…"
"Nervous, you the Crown prince are nervous…" Gary joked.
"No, I'm merely worried that maybe she took it the wrong way."
"How can someone take, 'will you come with me to the dance' the wrong way?"
"I said… 'as a friend'."
"It's Alanna, she'll understand." Raoul grinned.
"You're acting like a teenager, and that's funny!" Douglass joked, to which he got the brush thrown at him.
