Boy I wish I had Alanna's talent at pretending to listen.

"Jennaya are you listening" Asked her Aunt who was there lecturing her with her father

"N.. Yes."

"What did I just say?"

"'Jennaya are you listening'"

"Jennaya don't be pert."

"Sorry father."

"You are setting an awful example for you're friends young lady just think your friend Alanna is going to marry Roger in a month and…."

"Wait a month I thought it was eight months."

I'm going crazy here? I could have sworn that the letter said "summer" and it isn't even winter yet, last time I checked that was eight months… ay dios mios this is crazy.

"It was, Roger convinced Lord Alan and my husband to move the date up"

"But Alanna is going to be so….never mind does Alanna know yet?"

"No. Roger plans to have his squire tell her"

"Does he plan to find a new squire as well?" Jennaya mumbled

"What was that?"

"Nothing father" Jennaya answered

Roger's rooms

"Thom!"

"Yes m'lord"

"I need you to tell your sister something… and then bring her here."

"Yes sir what's the message?"

"Tell her that the weddings been moved to next month."

"Sir she's going to kill me."

"I don't think so she'll wait until later and after she talks to me she wont do anything I don't want her to."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Don't worry about it squire. Just know that your sister will do everything and any thing I say."

"Sir-"

"A knight does not question his orders Trebond" Roger snapped "Now go!"

Thom bowed and walked out

Up in Alanna's rooms

Alanna, Jennaya, and Elspeth were talking and doing needlepoint. Jennaya was trying to get up the courage to warn Alanna about Roger's plan

"So I got yelled at by my aunt and father today because of my brother and cousin."

"Stupid brothers" Alanna said

"What did Thom do this time?"

"I don't know yet…but he is always up to something stupid"

"Lanna that's not a nice thing to say about your brother."

"You know she's right Lans."

"Thom no one asked you plus you know its true."

"Come on"

"Why?"

"Roger wants to see you"

"We'll see you later Lanna," Jen said "It's your obligation to see him"

"Since when?" Alanna asked

"Jen she didn't pay attention,"

"Since you got engaged. Now go"

Alanna sighed and followed Thom out of the rooms.

Just as they got close to Roger's room Alanna asked:

"Do you have any idea why he wants to talk to me?"

"AHHHHH hey look we're here"

"Thom?"

"Come on Alanna."

"Ah Alanna, I told you she wouldn't kill you Thom"

"Why would I kill Thom he… Thom what didn't you tell me?"

"You didn't tell her?"

"It…never came up sir"

"One simple task, I ask you to do one simple task and you can't even do that much for me"

"I'm sorry sir" Thom said

"Just go I'll tell her."

"Tell me what?"

"Well you see the wedding's moved up a few… days."

"How many is a few?"

"two hundred thirteen"

"What?! that's like… seven months or something"

"exactly"

"But that gives us only one month…are you serious?"

"I'm very serious"

"You're not joking?"

"No"

"What idiot came up with that plan?"

"Ah sis… lanna, lans you just called someone in this room an idiot."

"You? And don't call me lans."

Well incase that isn't what I just did… ahem… People of Tortal, Squire Thom of Trebond is a complete and to total moronic idiot!

"No, it wasn't me" Thom said "Oh but if it were…"

"If it wasn't you and it wasn't me, then that means…"

oh crap I got my self in some deep scoobala here

"You just called your fiancée an idiot" Thom said with a nod

"Thom I said out."

"Yes sir"

"So, you think I'm an idiot?"

"No of course not… I'm so sorry"

"It's fine, so, how upset are you?"

um lets see beyond all belief… lets see no mom, sucky dad, moronic idiot of a brother, dad, fiancé, dad, and uh did I mention dad? Oh yeah no knighthood and stupid sisters and I forgot to mention DAD… and just incase I forgot DAD!!!!!!!!!

"Upset? Why would you think I'm upset?"

"Because you called me an idiot and because you look upset."

"I'm just surprised that's all really."

"Alanna I told you didn't have to lie to me, so why are you upset?"

"I… I'm not upset just nervous." Anger management, count to ten slowly…one-two- three-four-five-six-seven-8-9-10 "Why do you want to get married so soon?"

"Why are you so afraid of being getting married?"

"I'm not afraid" Alanna said

"You know, you just contradicted yourself" Roger said

"I know" Alanna said

"Well maybe but just a little."

"Then what, is it something I can help you with."

"I doubt it. Its more anxious I've never done this before you know."

"I should hope you've never done this before! Now it's nothing you need to be anxious about."

"I just need some sleep" Alanna said "I'll see you in the morning"

"Ok, good night"

"G'night" Alanna said

She walked sleepily to her room and got into bed where she dreamed up her speech for the TCA
