The next day Jane woke up feeling refreshed and new. The sun was barely rising, Dragon hadn't arrived yet, so she had this quiet, calm morning all to herse-

"Princess, come down from your tower! We have people wanting to see you!" Gunthers voice echoed up to her quarters.

She groaned and forced herself up from her warm bed and walked towards her window, seeing the training yard alive with action.

"Come on, lazy head, hurry up and get down here!" Gunther yelled as soon as he spotted her. He easily stood out from the others, as he was the most arrogant looking one of them all.

Jane groaned again, and, without saying anything, slowly got ready, before heading down her steps into the royal gardens, waving at Rake, and walking towards the training yards.

She was ignored by every male except Gunther, who quickly ran up to her side. "Jane, you're here!"

"Yes, I am, now what do you need me for?" She asked, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Today was the day with the knights," he said, "And Theodore wanted me to show you around to the other squires."

"Why? The should know me by now, female squire, soon to be lady knight."

Gunther grabbed her by the arm and led her to the largest group. "Be nice," he whispered to her.

"Everyone, I would like for you to meet, Jane," Gunther said, drawing the attention of the seven boys. "Girl squire, pet dragon, blah blah blah, have a good time!" Gunther finished before running off and leaving Jane behind.

"What a wus," she muttered to herself. She looked at the boys in front of her.

Be nice.

"Hi," she waved at them, forcing a smile. She wasn't in a good mood. Jester wasn't here to lighten her up.

The hello's came completely mixed.

"Dragon Rider, how's it going?" asked the one with light green eyes.

"Good. Why?"

"We heard that you were courting that other squire. . ." Said the one with the blue uniform.

"No, I think it was the court fool," corrected the one to the left of green eyes.

"Are you sure it wasn't the knight?" asked green eyes.

"What about the Sm-"

"Enough! I am not courting anyone." Jane's mood darkened a bit.

"Then would you like to court me?" asked Greeneyes, while the boys around him smiled.

"No."

"...what?"

"No. I do not want to court a green eyed idiot such as yourself." Jane turned and left, looking for Gunther, who was talking with two other people.

"Here she comes," the blond one warned Gunther.

"What happened?" Gunther asked her as soon as she stopped.

"I hate him."

"Hate is a strong word. . ." Gunther smiled. "All the other squires were talking about how you two would make great friends. . ."

"I am nothing like him," Jane declared.

"You are excactly like him."

"I am not, quit lying!"

"Attention squires!" All movement stopped immidietly at the sound of Theodores voice. "You must all head towards the main entrance to welcome the knights."

"We'll talk later, lets go!"
