A/N: Well, after such a depressing chapter three with the news to George, I didn't really know what to write. Actually to tell you the truth, I wanted to have a fluffy chapter and a happy chapter. Not a mad, sad, angry chapter. Were not quite sure what we are going to do with George yet, and I think you should know within the next three chapters. Tell me what you think when you are done reading!

Alanna swung open the door to her quarters and flung herself on the bed. Tears steadily streamed down her face.
"I-I just-cant," she said between sobs. "I- cant-hurt-him!" There was a knock on the door.
"Alanna? Are you there?" It was Jonathan.
"Go-go away! I-want-to be- alone!" He opened the door anyway and swiftly walked over to the bed and scooped her up into his arms.
"Alanna, what happened to get you into such a state?" He asked her soothingly.
"I-just-cant-hurt-him!" She set her head onto his shoulder and sobbed some more.
"What Happened?" He asked again. "Alanna, just tell me what happened. She collected herself.
"He seemed really hurt. I don't know why. I always saw George as a friend, not as a lover. But I just can't go through with the wedding if it means losing George," Jonathan was silent. "You have to understand. He is my best friend and I don't want to lose him."
"Alanna, it is ok. I understand," He lifted her head so that their eyes met. "I understand."
Later that day
Alanna and Jonathan were saddling up for an after noon ride; when George walked up dressed in a black robe. The hood kept his face in hiding, but Alanna and Jonathan knew who it was anyway.
"Lass. Jon." He acknowledged as he took of his hood.
"George? What are you doing here?" Asked Alanna.
"Well, I wanted to tell you two congratulations. I know that my last 'congratulations' was not vary merry," He looked down with some embarrassment, and his checks flushed.
"George you know that you don't have to say that," She turned and tightened the saddle on Moonlight. "I mean, after all, you don't care. Do you?"
"Lass, can't you just forgive me? You know that I care about you just as much as I know, and I ant' scared about saying that I love you Alanna," Jonathan was stunned. He knew that George always liked Alanna, but love? Alanna was just as shocked as Jonathan. "Always have and always will. Now matter who's arms you choose to be in" Alanna's head fell and tears crept from her violet eyes. Jonathan cut in.
"Listen, Alanna, and I have always known that you have liked her and I know as well as you do that Alanna doesn't want to ruin yours, and our friendship," He walked over to Alanna and brought her into his chest. "It's alright. You don't have to choose."
"That's just it Jonathan! I have to choose! But either way I choose, someone will hate me for it! I'm stuck in between two people that I love!" She hopped onto Moonlight and kicked her into a full gallop and rode off into the woods.
"George, you should have given her more time! She was totally in pieces when she came back from telling you the news this morning! Why couldn't you just leave it!" Jonathan yelled at his heartbroken friend.
"I'm sorry Jon. I just love th' lass, so much. You should kno' what that feels like."
"I do, and right now, we have to go and search for her before she dose something that she might regret!" He hoped on his magnificent black horse, George hopped on behind him and they raced after Alanna.
Few minuets later
"Alanna where are you?" Called Jonathan. The two jumped off of the horse and started to walk around. He heard sobs from around a tall willow. "Alanna, it's all right."
"NO! It's not alright. You just don't get it do you? I don't want to lose either of you. But I just can't!" She broke away and pilled her head into her knees turning her back from him. He gently turned her and pulled her close.
"It's all right. We will love you now matter who you choose. I love you Alanna. I will always be there for you." They stood up together. Kissed and then started to walk back to Jonathan's horse. They Hopped on, with out looking away from each others eyes, and gently trotted away, kissing. George was nowhere to be seen.
