Guest review: I was thinking, you should do more writings about Leeli and Thorn's relationship, and Kalmar's life.

Author's reply: Well, I plan on it, but I ship Janner and Sara WAY more lol.

Janner ordered that the group take a small break from walking. It was the early afternoon, but they had walked so fast and far, that they were very tired.

"Janner...I don't think...that we're gonna...make it to town...before nightfall." Kalmar panted.

Janner stood there thinking. It was the dead of winter, and they were stuck in the middle of nowhere. With Leeli, not to mention.

"This is just like when I was blindplopped!" Janner said to himself. Kal and Maraly had heard him, and looked at each other nervously.

"So, now what?" Leeli asked, leaning on her crutch.

Janner sighed. "We keep walking."

Sara's horse galloped. The only horse that could have possibly beaten it in speed would have been Janner's horse. Sara could see the town of Lorryshire growing on the horizon, and before she knew it, she was there. She galloped to a specific tavern, before tying her horse up and walking in. The tavern keeper was there.

"Are they almost here?" He asked in a gruff, yet kind voice.

"Yes." Sara replied.

"Good." Sara turned to see Gammon, along with Oskar, a few friends of Janner's from the Green Hollows, Thorn, Kelvey, and Biggin O'Sally, Guildmaster Clout, and Nibbick Bunge standing or sitting at places in the tavern.

'Janner is going to be so surprised.' Sara thought with a smile.

Indeed he was.

Kalmar panted. 'We need to hurry!' He thought. 'Janner can't be late for this!'

Maraly thought the same thing, as did Leeli. But, Janner was oblivious to it all. He had no idea what was planned for him.

"Janner, are we almost there?" Leeli asked.

"Yeah," Janner replied. "Almost. I can see the town from here. We're close, very close."

"Good." Maraly and Kalmar said at the same time. Leeli looked at them with surprise, but then she remembered and said, "Good".

"Sara, would you please come with me?" Sara looked and saw Nia standing there!

"What are you doing here? I thought that you were gonna stay at the castle!" Sara said with surprise.

Nia laughed. "I was, but then I decided not to. Now, I need help with something important. Could you help me?"

Sara nodded her head and followed Nia outside. All of the men in the tavern chuckled. She had no idea what was planned for her.

"Finally! We're here!" Kalmar said a little too dramatically.

Maraly rolled her eyes and punched him in the shoulder. "You don't want him finding out, do you?"

"No."

"Then don't do anything that would make him wonder."

"Alright."

Janner didn't hear any of their conversation, luckily.

"Ok, well maybe we should go to the tavern!" Maraly said.

Janner looked at her. "Why?"

"Because there might be someone there who can help us."

Janner shrugged. The local tavern probably did have someone who could help them. "Well, it wouldn't hurt to check. Let's go."

Kalmar walked beside Janner, making sure he wouldn't notice the fact that Maraly and Leeli crept off without him noticing.

"What's going on?" Sara asked.

"I need you to carry this box please." Nia replied.

"To the tavern?"

"No, we're going to a different place in town, nearby. Just follow me."

Sara followed her, and was shocked at what she found. In another building, next to the tavern, they walked to and when Nia opened the door and led Sara inside, she was shocked to find Arundelle, Leeli, Maraly, Jessy, and some of the orphans (now teenagers and adults) waiting for her.

"What's going on?" Sara asked.

"Welcome to your bachelorette party!"

Janner pushed to doors to the tavern open only to be soaked in water.

"Kal, this better not have been a prank of yours." Janner muttered.

Kal grinned. "Nope, its your bachelor party!"

Janner looked around and saw a bunch of his friends. A smile crept on his face. "Well, this was unexpected."

Gammon laughed. "Thank Kalmar and Maraly. They put most of this together. Sara aided when it came to figuring out how we should get you here."

At the mention of Sara, Janner looked up. "Where is she?"

"She's at her bachelorette party." Kal answered.

"Wow, you guys really thought this through." Janner noted.

"Yeah, though it was really hard seeing how you'd hate to leave Sara." Kal snickered. All of the men in the tavern, obviously hearing him, laughed.

Janner turned red with embarrassment.

Kalmar snickered again.

"Let's give poor Janner a break Kal, he can't help it if he's deeply in love with her." Gammon laughed.

All of the men in the tavern laughed again.

"Uh, I need to change out of this." Janner said, poking at his wet clothes.

Oskar came forward with a satchel and handed Janner some clean clothes.

"How'd you get these?" Janner asked.

Oskar chuckled. "I snuck into your room yesterday to get them."

"Ah, ok." Janner went to the back of the tavern and changed in one of the storage closets. It smelled of fruit bibes. When he came out, he was dressed in a greenish shirt with brown pants. His hair was still wet though.

"Now, let's celebrate this young man!" Gammon shouted, though to others it came across as an order.
