A/N: I am very sorry about the slow update! Has anyone read the Count of Monte Cristo? Well, I had to read the last about 150 pages over the weekend. Not fun. I defianately do not recommend it. Sorry, I know you don't care about my ramblings, so here is the story! Well, after my disclaimer of course!

Disclaimer: I own nothing by Tamora Pierce. Sadly, she is the only lucky duck to have any of that.

Midwinter Ball

Jon: -Holds up dress- Not good. Definitely not good! This is such a bad color for me!

Thayet: "Jon dear, that is definitely not a good color for you. You would look much better in a silver or a blue, not that…thing."

Jon: "You think I haven't thought about that?"

Thayet: "You were thinking! Good for you! Cookie for Jon!" –Hands Jon a cookie-

Jon: "Chocolate chip my FAVORITE!" –Devours cookie-

Thayet: "Well…I'm gonna go help Yuki and Alanna torture Kel! Buh bye!" –Prances away-

Yuki's Room:

Door: "Knock knock!"

Everyone: "Since when can doors talk?"

Door: "Since forever duh! And I recommend letting this annoying person in before she throws a royal tissyfit."

Buri: "Uh oh." –Runs to open door- "Oh! Hi Thayet! You come to help us?"

Thayet: "Geez! How long does it take to open a stinkin' door!"

Door: "Well excuse me! This 'stinking door' is standing right here for your information!"

Kel: -Trys to run out the door while Thayet and the door fight-

Door: "We got a runner!" –Slams shut-

Alanna: "Looks like she chose the hard way!"

Kel: -Gulps-

In Raoul's Room:

Raoul: "I think of her as a daughter and if you hurt her! I will…uh…tell on you! So there!" –Sticks tongue out at Dom-

Dom: "Ok…If you'll excuse me, Meathead wanted to talk to me about an evil paln of something." –Leaves to find Meathead-

In Lalasa's Shop:

Lalasa: -Stares at the dress Alanna had given her- This is by far the ugliest dress I have ever seen in my entire life! And to think, the King is going to wear it! Ugh, it's such an awful color for him…

A/N: Ooh! Cliffie! And now: to thank all the people who have reviewed! Yaaaay!

InweElensar121: Don't worry, I should get his evil plan in the next chapter. I'm thinking it will be the ball. Maybe? Don't know.

Mysterylegend: Ooh! Thank you! Hope I don't disappoint you this time! )

Lady Starbright: Thank you! –Smiles shyly- If I do the ball next you will get to see him in his wonderful dress! I don't know why the evil little characters keep saying it's ugly! –Winks-

JaDe-ViPeR08: Sure! –Hands you a jar of hilarity- Enjoy!
