Thank you to everyone for reviewing! I will reply to reviews soon, I just really don't have the time...

Someone mentioned that they want me to update Lady knight Adventures, I will, I swear, I promise. I love that story more than anything. The problem is, these chapters are easier to write and post and school's not over for me yet (I know, I'm shocked too)... my grade eight grad is Tuesday (Yes, I'm in grade 8, got a problem with that?) and as soon as school is out I will have time to update my story a lot more. And I mean a lot. For all my stories... In all due time, I'll try to update this week if I can...

Thank you to:

With that he was off, what was that tingling feeling in the pit of my stomach? I did not like Alex, I had met him today for the first time for Mithros' sake! I shoved the thoughts out of my mind as I opened the door to my room.

I changed into a violet gown that brought out the colour of my eyes. I looked in the mirror, wow, I did look good! I don't often look good but this dress actually changed my form of a cow into one of envy.

I looked into the mirror and tied my hair up. From tied up it reached down my back, it was so long. I twirled one strand around my finger and for some reason my finger turned purple. I let go, completely shocked, to find that the hair was all curled up. Was this magic? I have magic? That can't be possible! I tried again with another strand of hair. It did the same thing! Thom had magic, I should ask him about it later, in the mean time this could work to my advantage. Girls would wrap their hair up and lay in the sun for hours to get it to curl, this in my opinion has always been ridiculous. But my hair curled was a sight to see, too bad I had never tried it. I took my fingers and went through all of my hair, it took a little bit of time but in the end it was gorgeous. Mithros, I'm actually... pretty!

Once my hair was curled it fell down only slightly onto my back, I put in amethyst ear bobs that matched the gown. I twirled once before the mirror enchanted by the lady in front of me. Sadly there was still a hand print slightly showing on my face. But that could hardly be seen from atop the staircase, I will definitely give my brother a heart attack tonight.

A knock on the door to my room brought my thoughts back to my head and I took a deep breath, this was it.

I opened the door to an elegant and very handsome Alex. I am disgusted with my own thoughts, although he is quite handsome.

He looked at me with his mouth slightly open.

"You're staring Tirragen." I teased

He blushed slightly; "Goddess, you're -you're beautiful."

I blushed --probably the first time in my life-- and took his offered hand. We made our way to the back of the curtain, keeping out of everyone's view. I peeked through and looked into the crowd. I found my brother talking to his friends (all except Alex of course) who hadn't been given the duty to escort a young lady down the stairs. They seemed to be looking around for someone, I smirked, it was probably Alex. The couples started going down the long staircase, bowing (and curtsying,) to the king and queen. Then last, our names were called;

"Squire Alexander of Tirragen and Lady (I winced) Alanna of Trebond!"

We came out arm in arm and started the descent. I saw my brothers face and smirked he was openly staring, so were his friends. I looked to my side, at Alex, he looked at my brother and then he too smirked. We went in front of their majesties and bowed (curtsied in my case) and made our way to our friends. Lilia was there as well now, she hugged me,

"You were great! And very beautiful I might add."

I smiled; "so were you."

She leaned in and whispered in my ear; "Alanna's got her first crush, how cute!"

I turned red and she smiled innocently at me;

"nuh uh, Alanna, you wouldn't want to act rashly in front of your squire in shining armor,"

I wanted to strangle her but then I noticed my friends were still staring.

"It's rude to stare at people." Lilia pointed out, once again, strangling her wouldn't be so bad. They all looked away.

"Mithros you look great, sister dear."

"Mithros, I will hunt you down if you call me 'sister dear' again, Thom." I said this with a giant smile plastered on my face.

Prince Jonathan chuckled behind a hand as Thom visibly gulped.

"Yes, you look great Alanna." The Prince added.

"Why thank you your highness." I curtsied. He shook his head;

"You will drive us crazy someday."

"The sooner the better."

I looked at Lilia, she was staring awestruck at a very disgusting-looking old man who had obviously just asked her hand in a dance. I elbowed her sharply.

She put on a fake smile of hers and said; "Why I would love to." In a high pitched voice so unlike her own.

They started waltzing. He was old and short and she was young and tall. She looked positively disgusted while she danced as well. The boys were looking at the floor pointedly trying not to laugh and Gary looked murderous, I guess he's somewhat protective of his sister. I looked back at Lilia who mouthed 'help me' to me. I smothered my laughter and buried my face into a drink. It was pumpkin juice and I drank happily until Sister Mary walked by me and wrenched the glass from my hands. She shook her head at me and walked away. I scowled after her.

"What was that about?" asked Alex

"Oh yes, because I supposedly insulted a 'fellow lady's' family, I cannot eat or drink."

"But you didn't have lunch either." Jonathan mused.

I blinked at him; "Yes, that's my punishment, I am to fast today."

"What! They can't do that!' Thom's small cry of outrage was only enough for us to hear, thank the gods he got his voice in control just in time.

"Actually yes, they can, they made me fast for three days once. The convent hates me, Lilia too somewhat, her record was two days but she took it pretty badly. She fainted in one of her lessons and she was brought to the healer who said that upon healer's orders she was to eat food again. See, she was supposed to fast with me for the three days, but she didn't last so she got only two days of fasting."

The boys looked horrified; "They make you fast?" Raoul asked dumbstruck.

"What have I just been saying?" I asked exasperatedly.

"Plus, how do you think the girls get that small? They don't eat breakfast and they eat vegetables at lunch and a small meat meal for dinner."

The boys were perplexed, surely they knew we didn't eat all the luxuries they did!

Lilia broke our discussion by walking in tiredly. "I can't take him anymore, he's disgusting."

I laughed at her face and then added; "Well you better think of something, he's coming back." She looked at me pleadingly.

"Oh no, oh no, no, no. no. I am not asking him to dance, I refuse. He's almost here."

"Alanna! Please!" She looked at me, eyes full of pity and I sighed resigned.

"You're not actually going to dance with him are you?" Thom asked disgustedly.

"May I have this dance milady?" Jonathan said with a bow to Lilia. Her eyes widened in shock but then she understood;

"Why yes, yes of course." she curtsied and giggled like a lady. The man upon seeing this, turned around and went in the other direction. Lilia's shoulders slumped, "Thank you Jonathan." she said with a sigh, "I don't know how I would've gotten out of that.'

"I thought that Alanna was going to ask him--"

Lilia looked at him, eyes twinkling; "She was, I meant, how I was going to get out of Alanna's wrath after it."

I cocked my head at her, pursing my lips together.

Jonathan laughed; "You're not getting out of it so easily."

Lilia looked at him questioningly; "What do you mean?"

"I mean, you owe me a dance."

"Oh." she just looked at him. I rolled my eyes and stepped on her foot.

"Right , then, just lead the way. You didn't have to stomp so hard!" She hissed the last through gritted teeth. Jonathan laughed again and held out his arm. She accepted it and they went off to dance.

I shook my head, Lilia rendered speechless twice in one night, this I would remember.

"Does Jonathan fancy your sister, Gary?" I asked mildly surprised.

"I think he took it hard when you said that you and her were the only ones who didn't fawn over him at the convent." Raoul laughed. We chorused in and then Alex nudged me;

"So, Alanna, want to dance?"

"Sure." I smiled at him and took his arm. I looked into his gorgeous (I can't believe I just said that) face and walked with him to the dance floor.

--3rd Person POV-- (sorry had to put this in)...

Their friends looked after them.

"Alright, so Jonathan is after Lilia and Alex is after Alanna, Raoul, do you have a sister?" Gary asked dryly.

Raoul shook his head; "She won't be here 'afore a couple years."

"Too bad, I guess we'll have to find some unrelated girls to dance with." Thom added

They grinned at each other and each went their separate directions.

He he, Jonathan and Lilia, bet you weren't expecting that! I thought that that was funny, hope you did too!

Hope you like it!
