Note: Thanks to any reviewers, I just had to play with an overly hyper two-year-old for the past 3 hours .How fun. Anyway, hope you like it, the pink hair if for Aly the Spy! Oh, and my ma (TP got me writing like that) told me earlier that I looked a bit like Daine when she saw the book cover. Don't ask. Sure, I've put my hair into two plaits. So what? Even if my eyes are blue grey and my hair's brown…

Chapter 3

They dragged Alanna kicking, cursing and screaming down the hall. A strong wind blew through the palace as a woman walked past, covering her head. When she saw Jon she stopped to shout at him.

"Delia?" he asked. The woman nodded and slapped him. "What was that for?"

"This," she hissed, removing her hood. Everyone but Delia burst out laughing. Lady Delia's hair was bright pink. "Think it's funny do you? Because you all look so much worse than me!" she shouted triumphantly and walked away, pulling her hood back over her hair.

"What did I do?" Jon asked.

"By the looks of it, I'd say you dyed her hair," Alanna told him truthfully, and burst out laughing again. Jon glared at her.

"Oh well. I didn't like her anyway," he said.

"Oh really?" Raoul asked sweetly. "Because you seemed so…"

"Be quiet Raoul! Come on, let's go," Jon told them, and began dragging them all away.

What for Alanna seemed like years later, the hairdresser had untangled the knot at the back of her head, not without lots of cursing of course. She was able to wash the dye out of Jon's hair and flatten Gary's. However, she could do nothing for Raoul's face or Gary's permanent green highlights. With a sigh they went off to find someone who could remove the ink.

Gary ran from the room screaming.

"You aren't touching my hair, Alan!"

"Oh yes I am," Alanna told him calmly, chasing after him. Gary shook his head. Alanna nodded and grabbed him.

"Help me! Jon, Raoul, someone, ANYONE?" Gary shouted. Raoul and Jon sniggered as Alanna advanced on him.

"No, please no!" he begged. Alanna ignored him, and continued.

Gary groaned, putting his hand to his head.

"My hair, my wonderful hair!" he said mournfully. Alanna had finished with him, and he had no hair left at all. Jon, Alanna and Raoul were still laughing as Gary walked slowly from the room, muttering about his precious hair.

"Now, what to do about your face, Raoul?" Jon asked.

"Uh, I think I should try removing it with my Gift," Alanna suggested, winking at Jon.

"No! Please, uh, I think someone else might be able to do it another way!" Raoul begged.

"Alright. But if we don't find someone by next meal…" Alanna threatened. Raoul was already half out of the door.

"What are we waiting for?" Raoul asked. "Let's go!"

That's chapter three. This won't be much longer, one or two chapters. Now review me!
