Forgive me my dears for such the long wait, this chapter is measly in regards to the time I was away. T.T
So much has happened, well, I'll just be making excuses. I'm out of school, and many people say that they have more time to write because of that, but sadly I do not, I swear I need peace and utter silence to begin to write, but there is so much distraction in my house (family that is, they're so noisy! lol) that I do not seem to have the time, if I do begin to write there is no bloody privacy at all, they're (my family) always checking on what I'm doing... well, either way I was also distracted by the World Cup, so fun to watch, I'm happy Spain one! Woot! ^.^ I'm babbling forgive me. ^-^'
Here's the new chapter, and don't worry, it will be the shortest one I am planning to make.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Jane and the Dragon, it belongs to Martin Baynton.

Chapter 3: Dream
The moment Jane was over the threshold she instantly collided with a something and tumbled upon it.
Jane groaned, opened her eyelids and was abruptly startled to be inches away and face to face with a pair of sheepish pearly gray eyes and a flushed face.
"Jester!" Jane exclaimed and quickly leaped off of him.
"Oh! T-there you are Jane," Jester stammered.
Jane stood up, brushed herself off and reached out her hand to lift Jester off the bricked ground.
"What are you doing here?" Jane curiously inquired.
Jester tentatively took Jane's hand and stood up.
"I-I was l-looking for you," Jester responded with a reddening face as he too brushed himself off.
"Ahem," Jester voiced after he recomposed himself. "The ceremony is starting, and a certain lady-knight was missing, so… I was worried."
Jester quickly added, "We were all worried."
Jane laughed, "Soon-to-be-lady-knight."
She then beamed at Jester and added, "You should not have worried."
"I know," replied a resigned Jester.
"I just… could not help it," he added with a nervous laugh.
"C'mon," Jane gestured as she began to sprint. "I'll explain on the way," she called back.
Jester gazed admiringly at Jane, her fireball hair bobbing up and down while swaying in the crisp autumn breeze. Just five years ago, reflected Jester, he had bequeathed her his armor and entrusted her with his dream of becoming a knight. Jane had struggled and prevailed against all odds and was so close to forging their wish into reality. Happiness swelled within Jester, overflowing throughout his body and settled onto his visage.
"Thank you for the dream, Jane," whispered Jester, but his words did not carry through to her. A vigorous cool gale surged and bared Jester's words towards the lucid golden sky.

Short wasn't it? ^w^'
Well, thank you for reading and please review, the next chapter will finally be getting somewhere... kinda.
F.Y.I.: In the book by Martin Baynton "Jane and the Dragon" (the 1st one), in the last page Jester says "Thank you for the dream," there is where I got that line, plus also in the book Jester does give his armor to Jane, the one in the tv series on episode 25 titled "The Last of the Dragonslayers".
Don't worry, I'm more of a JaneXGunther shipper myself. ^-^
